COMMEMORATE WORK OF
CONGRESSMAN SMITH

Washington, D. c., May 26th-
Congressman Addison T. Smith has
entered a vigorous protest at the
Post Office Department against fay.
orable consideration of any plan in
re-arranging the mail service in the
Boise Basin country which contem-
plates the abandonment of the route
between Boise and Idaho City which
has been in existence for 40 years.
The matter is receiving the most
careful consideration, and as soon as
the report of the Inspector Is re-
celved the Fourth Assistant Post
master General will take the matter
up for final adjustment.
Mr.. Smith has also protested
against the abandonment of the Post
Office at Wilson, Owyhee County.
Idaho, and has filed numerously
signed petition OF the patrons of the
office. Should the Department insist
on the abandonment of this office It
will be necessary for some of the
patrons Of the office to travel fif-
teen miles for their maid.

Washington D, c., May 26.-After
consultation with the Secretary OF
the Interior, Congressman Addison T
Smith has introduced bill, author.
Ning the Secretary to enter into q
lease for period of fifty years to
the surplus power on Government re-
clamation projects to irrigation dis
tricts for the reclamation of arid
lands. The money derived from
such leases shall be covered into
the Reclamation fund and be placed
to the credit of the project from
which said power is derived. The
bill also provides that no lease
shall be made for such surplus power
or power privileges as will impair
the EFFICIENCY of the irrigation pro-
ject. The enactment Of the proposed
law, while applicable to all power
sites within reclamation projects.
would be especially beneficial to the
Gem Irrigation District adjoining the
Boise-Payette Project There are
large power possibilities at the Ar
rowrock Dam, and estimates have
been made of the cost of constructing
a power plant and furnishing power
Tor pumping purposes. The State Of
Idaho has about ten thousand acres
OF land within the Gem Irrigation
District and would be interested In
having water made available for this
Land at minimum cost. The pro-
posed legislation gives preference in
the sale Of the power to irrigation
districts which are mutual concerns,
and the Government would not there
fore be entering the electrical field
In competition, with commercial COM
panies.

FIGHT ON PROHIBITION AND RACE
TRACKS IN MARYLAND.

Annapolis, Md, January 4.-The
prohibition question, the race track
problem and Baltimore city expansion
are the lively measures that come up
before the Maryland Legislature which
assemblies here tomorrow. The solons
will be kept in continual turmoil, 1t
is expected, for practical politics will
play a leading part in the discussion
and determination of these important
questions.
A preliminary canvass of the mem
bers made by the Anti-Saloon League
has led TO the belief that the prohi-
billion forces occupy a very strong po-
sition and will be able to compel the
passage of an act designed to curtail
the sale of liquor. The preliminary
campaign has stirred the state, and
public interest eenters in the liquor
question. II is taken for granted that
the fight will be between state wide
prohibition and state wide local OPP
ton.

Motor Cars Affect Fashion.

We note that the smart tailors are stating the astounding fact
that this season the motor car will have its effect On the construction
of ladies' and mems coats. Astonishing indeed! Did it ever occur
to you that the motor car has had its effect on more things than coats
for some time past?
In fact it has had such a effect on coats that we have seen some
going without any. 1t has affected the undertakers until many have
retired, drunk with wealth through their gains, and undertaking
schools are increasing their students. The grub bills have been sad
ly affected and many mortgages have been extremely affected by this
deadly animal called the "motar" car. That isn't all either-we
could mention the effect on the hospitals, the physicians and sur
geons, life insurance companies, in fact the "motar" ar has had a de.
cided effect in fashioning many things, nearly everything from the
home to the grave, from the rich to the poor house, from common de-
cency to the penitentiary. Many ere even wearing stripes, who
would be otherwise decent citizens, but for the "motar" car. On
May Both it even had a decided effect on the flower market where cut
flowers and designs were purchased for decorating the graves of those
departed who went via the motor car route.
But probably the most distressing of all is the fattening ten.
dency it has had on pocketbooks.

Should be Reasonable.

We have many men drop in every week now who feel a little if
rtated over the outlook for county offices in Carbon county for the
coming fall, for this valley. They say: "Why is it that we can't have
our just recognition of county oicers?" They are right. Now in
the case of county commissioners, there never should be a doubt but
what, first, last and all the time, this valley should have a fouryear
commissioners.
We have suggested that both parties get together, each in their
own meeting and select a good man on or both tickets, and see if
1t is possible 10 get either one nominated. This is hard for either
party to do, owing to the fact that this valley has been treated so
shamefuly that none feel like making an effort. We certainly have
plenty of good men and are entitled to Just recognition, as all know
that this valley pays one-thiId of the taxes of the county. and wa
should have no trouble in securing our portion.
1T n other way can bring things to time it should be the duty
OF the county central committee to take this matter in hand and 6x
