IDAHO POWER COMPANY
HAS HANDSOME NEW OFFICE

The Idaho Power Company moved
iato it's new office in the Hotel
Bancroft the first of this week where
the office force are now as busy as
female tongues at a quilting bee
getting things in shape. The new
office furniture and fixtures have
not arrived yet but are expected
every day. When these are installed
the Idaho Power Company's Payette
office will be one of the finest in
this section. AS the new office is
much larger than the one former
ly occupied, with immense window
space, it will afford the opportuni-
ty for a much larger and more elab-
crate display both on the floor and
in the windows. With the new light
ing system now being installed by
the Company for the convenience
and appearance of its Payette quar-
ters it will make decided improve
ment in the attractiveness Of that
part of the city.

IDAHO SOLDIERS IN
FIELD CANNOT VOTE

There is interest just now in
the question of whether the boys
on the border may vote at the
coming election. In some of the
states there is a law which per-
mits absent citizens to vote by means
of ballots mailed to them, and
some have questioned if there is
not some way in which the Idaho
guardsmen may not have the privi-
lege of casting their votes this fall.
Attorney General Peterson was
asked concerning such possibility
for the Idaho soldiers and replied
that the Idaho statutes made no pro-
vision for absent voting and that
there was no way for them to vote
under the present law. This an
nouncement may he q disappo;nt-
ment to some people who in read
ing the news from other localities
in regard to enfranchisement of
soldiers both in some of these
states and the European countries
have had the impression that in
some way 1t was to be arranged
that the citizens doing military duty
would have the same privilege of vot-
ing as when at home.

GOOD WORD FOR sHUMATE.

Mr.. John Shumate, Republican can
didate for sheriff, is in Payette to-
day interviewing the voters. In speak
ing of his candidacy the Nampa
Leader Herald says:
John Shumate for sheriff seems
reasonably sure of nomination. He
has made an active canvass; in fact
he is active in whatever he under
takes. AS sheriff he would be there
with energy and efficiency. He
would handle the affairs honestly
and the bootlegger and the criminal
would have to get up very early in
the morning to escape him."

DAIRY LECTURES
P0PULARMOvEMEkT

The third of the series of farmers
/ Saturday meetings which are being
held in this city under the manage
ment and direction of Mr.. w. R.
Palmer, district agriculturist EN-.
ployed by the local board of educa-
ton, was decidedly the most inter
esting and best attended of the
meetings thus far held as well as
the most valuable in an educational
way, which should demonstrate be-
yond any question the great amount
of good that may be gotten out of
such meetings if the farmers will
but realize the necessity CT becom-
ing thoroughly acquainted with the
various phases of the business
which many of them are now di-
recting their attention and efforts.
Prof. w. H. Hochbaum of the
state agricultural extension depart
ment and director of county agents
in Idaho, delivered splendid lee
ture on the subject of 'The Feed
ing of Dairy Cows" which included
many of the factors involved in eco
nomical feeding in order to receive
the largest milk production from the
feed consumed. He gave some val
liable suggestions concerning pastur-
age, cost of pasture per COW under
proper conditions, various other
feeds and their costs, how to balance
the ration, and kindred problems
that must be intelligently worked out
and understood by the man who ex-
poets to make the dairy cow a
profitable investment. Prof. Hoch-
baum spoke for nearly an hour and
a half to about one hundred farmers
and others who by their close at
tention indicated their deep interest
in the subject of dairying.
Mr.. Palmer followed with a thirty
minute lecture on the dairy COW and
dairy COW judging, having for demon
stration material two very good
types of >the Jersey breed and an
ordinary COW of mixed breed, as
some one remarked, "just COW
ike mother used To milk" in this
way furnishing not only valuable in
formation but creating new interest
in the subject of judging the dairy
COW by scientific physical examina-
ton. without fair knowledge of
which no person is qualified to make
selections that will return satisfac-
tory increment on the investments
in such an important enterprise as
tlat of dairying as an auxiliary to
olher operations connected with the
small farm so common to this Sec
ion of the state.
Already these Saturday afternoon
lectures are becoming popular with
he farmers, each succeeding meet
ng showing larger crowds and in
interest.

ihkylE BROTHERS WITH
BARNUM AND BAILEY CIRCUS

Albert and Reuel Maule, who went
to Chicago some four weeks ago,
hoping to find employment with some
musical company that would give
them experience as we'll as a sal
ary, were unable to find just what
suited them there and returned to
Omaha, but with the same results.
Upon coming on to Denver, they
found the Barnum and Bailey Circus,
the biggest amusement aggregation
known to the public, with which they
entered into a contract for the re-
mainder of the season. Albert plays
in the mounted band and Reuel on
the No. 2 band-wagon. Barnum and
Bailey make only the larger cities
and the boys will have an unusual
opportunity to see the big sights OF
great business centers of the coun-
try. They will doubtless see larger
crowds of people occasionally than
used to gather around to listen to
their music when they were play
ing for the Payette Saturday night
street concerts.
Albert and Reuel Maule are a
couple of clean, sef-reliant young
men, who can be depended upon to
take care of themselves and make
good wherever they happen to be in
this great big carping old world of
ours. Success to them.
