CONNER is FOR GOV. TAYLOR
Believes Nomination and Election OF
Standpoint Man Is Certain.

A. H. Conner of Standpoint was in
the city Monday in connection with
some legal business. He was full
of enthusiasm over Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Taylor's candidacy for the re-
publican nomination for governor.
Il was with Mr.. Taylor at the
Twin Falls convention and the re-
ception which his candidacy received
at that meeting was very hattering.
A wide acquaintance is great as
set and Mr.. Taylor probably knows
more people over the whole state
than any other man in public life
in Idaho. l believe that his ex-
ceptional record as lieutenant-gov-
ernor and his recognized ability will
win the nomination for him, which,
of course, is equivalent to election.
| do not see what can prevent his
winning out with the backing he has
of strong, influential men in every
community of the state. OF course
the other candidates have their
friends as well, but the general feel
ing over the state seems to be that
Governor Taylor has made good and
as a result should be accorded the
honor which he seeks. While those
with whom 1 have talked-and they
have bee,. many-realize that this
is a republican year, they also rec
ognize the fact that we should have
at the head of our ticket a candi-
date who is clean, capable, energet-
ic, and a good campaigner, and
am glad to say that they recognize
all these qualities in Governor Tay-
lor'

WANT ONE HUNDRED MEMBERS
Civic League Anxious for Active
W0rkers-71 Members Now.

The third meeting of the Civic
League was held in the court house
last Saturday and some twenty-five
women attended and listened to the
reports of the various committees.
The clean city committee reported
considerable work done in the Diff
ferent parts of town, by individuals
or in Eeighborhood gatherings, and
that the work was well done is
certainly apparent. The cleanup fe-
yer seems to be as prevalent as the
measles. The league gave a vote
of thanks and appreciation to Supt.
Collins, the teachers and children
for their cooperation during cleanup
week and for the splendid results.
of their enthusiasm. 1t was an
nounced that on some day in the
near future, team would be sent
around to gather up the boxes and
barrels that were left over from
cleanup week.
Several new matters were dis
cussed, one of them being the subject
of bird houses, suggested by A. j.
Kent in last weeks Herald 1t was
decided to appoint a committee to-
plan contest among the boys OF
Boundary county to take place dur
ing summer vacation. The contest
will probably close in September
with perhaps an exhibition of all
the bird houses made. More definite
plans will be announced later.
The league now has a member
ship of seventy-one and is especially
anxious to have one hundred by
July first-not a difficult task if
everybody interested will send in her
name and dollar for dues to Mrs
d. c. Macdonald. Active workers
are needed, but if you haven't the
time to spare for active work, join
anyway, pay your dues and help in
that way.
At present the city beautiful COM
mittee, with Mrs. George r. Gray as
chairman, is busy with plans for
a large bed of scarlet geraniums
for the court house lawn and when
it is finished and put in the care
of Mr.. Reed it will be a source of
pleasure to everyone who goes that
way.

DELIGHTFUL GRADE PROGRAM
Pleasing Interpretation of Old Fairy,
Tale Produced Friday Night

"The Golden Sickle" an operetta,
was given by the grade pupils of the
Boomers Ferry public schools last
Friday afternoon and evening in the
auditorium of the high school.
The operetta, which is based upon
an old fairy tale, was one of the
prettiest plays ever staged here
The stage was arranged to repre-
sent a garden of the queen, Hide
gard, with an enchanted hedge and
wall in the background.
The choruses of bees, butterflies
and fairies were very effective. The
sober suits of the little bees were
offset by the bright yellow dresses
and wings of the butterflies. Both
bees and butterflies united in a
pretty dance which they did in a
most creditable manner.
Queen Flora with her fairies.
dressed in filmy white, gave two
very light and graceful dances which
won for them much applause.
Perhaps the best number of the
program was that of Elsa and her
six companions. They sang and
played merry game before passing
through the enchanted hedge. The
solo of little Elsa took the audience
by storm. Raymond, nephew Of the
queen, handled the only boys part
in very capable manner. The parts
of Queen Hildegard and Mother
Witch-Hazel were very well sung
In fact the work of everyone who
took part was of such a high order
as to give great credit to the teach
ers who trained them in their vari-
Gus parts.
The cast was as follows:
Queen Hildegard -. .Veona Johnston
Elsa, daughter of Hildegard. 49,

WOLF SKINS NOW VALUABLE
War Has Jumped Price Of Pelts
From One to Eight DOL
lars Each.

How the great war across the seas
could make the price Of wolf and coy
ote skins go soaring no one here
seems to know. 1t is fact, neverthe-
less, that pelts Of these animals are
now selling for more than an average
sheep will bring, and every quotation
shows q rise In their market value.
The explanation is offered by buyers
that the soldiers in the English and
French armies are to be clothed In the
furs Of wolves and coyotes during the
coming winter, but it is thought this
story has little foundation. Some new
use has caused prices to go bounding
upward. The chief demand comes
from abroad.
The price Of a coyote pelt has In
creased during the last few months
from 81 to So. Wolf skins Of the lobo
species sell for even higher prices. It
is such a profitable business profess
sional trappers are flocking into this
part of Texas In great numbers.
Cattlemen and sheepmen suffer an
nual losses amounting In the aggre-
gate to several hundred thousand dol
lars from the depredations Of wolves
and coyotes upon their herds and
flocks. The present activity in e1ter-
minating the animals Is very gratify-
ing to these live stock interests.

CIVIC LEAGUE NOTES.

Last Saturday Afternoon, at League
Hall, the League had ! large and inter-
esting meeting. Miss Lynch, chair
man Of the Tree col hmittee, made a
good report Of work done by her de-
partment. The "greerS is being put in

of Mrs. Sarius Peguss there will be
young trees for all who wish them.
Mrs Pegues will deposit them at Miss
Lynch's, so any one who desires one
or more trees for tnd streets can ap-
ply to Miss Lynch. She also has crepe
myrtle roots for all who ask.
1t was recommended that each men-
ber of the League will keep her square
clear of papers and all unsightly trash.
By a close following of this suggestion

streets will he at Onde apparent AS
an aid TO this Mrs. Hal Duvall and
Miss Ellen Duvall will see that cans
and barrels will he placed conveniently.
The Flower Show committee repeats
the suggestion regarding the planting
Of sweet peas NOW. Don't forget that
prizes are offered fof the best ones

rivalry and interesting contest. SO
get your seed and plant AT ONCE.
The chairman of the Flower Committee
also says that now is the time to pre-
pore for prize chrtsanthemus for

let it stand till next spring. BY then
the manure will be thoroughly rotted

FIND IS TYPHOID 4cARRIERse
New York Takes Important Steps 70
! Safeguard the Health Of
; Its Citizens.

There are 35 chronic typhoid "car.
riers" in New York city, the health
department announces, and the list q
constantly growing, the New York
Herald states.
These Carriers" spread the disease
wherever they are employed without
themselves being subject to Its raw
ages. The board of health has placed
them on the list Of danger spots"
The present methods have grown out
of the lessons learned through tracing
the career Of Typhoid Mary" who at
tained national celebrity a few years
ago when several epidemics Of typhoid
were directly traced back to the posi-
tions In which she had been employed
as a cook. She was q good cook and
never was long without work, but aft
er the experts found out that the
dread typhoid followed all of her en-
gagements they decided she must be
restrained for the safety Of the city.
She finally was allowed at large un-
der the terms Of a parole under which
she promised never again to accept a
position where she might handle food
intended for human consumption. A
rediscovery of Typhoid Mary" came
about under tragic circumstances. She
had broken her parole and accepted a
position as cook in the Sloane Ma.
ternity hospital, and within the accept
ed period Of incubation Of that dis
ease there appeared "a cases OF ty-
phoid among the physicians, nurses
and patients in that institution.
Typhoid Mary" was taken in charge
again by the department Of health
and she is now, after two attempts In
court to obtain her release, patient
in a hospital on North Brother island,
where she is likely to pass the re-
mainder of her days.
