Two Hundred Visitors From
WeStend Come in Autos
MET BY BAND AND REPRESENTA-
TIvES OF CITY AND CLUB.
Good Speeches, Showing Spirit of Co.
operation, Are Made at the Taber-
nacle.

With flags floating and banners
waving in the breeze, so automobiles
loaded with 200 Buhl residents ar
rived in this city Friday morning.
They were greeted at the city limits
by a delegation of Twin Falls autoists,
accompanied by the Twin Falls Cornet
band, and were escorted to the taber-
nacle, where they were greeted with
warm words of welcome by Secretary
James Mcmillan on behalf of the Com
mercial club and Mayor e. M. Sweeley
on behalf of the city. The honors and
oratory for the west-end city were
done by Secretary j. M. Bradley in a
happy vein.
The Buhl crowd presented a gay ap-
pearance as they drifted along the
fine roads from the thriving and ener-
getic city to the west, and many were
the words of praise bestowed upon the
enterprise which thought out and put
into effect so creditable turnout.
Secretary Mcmillan was master of
ceremonies at the tabernacle and in
troduced the speakers, after some we'll
chosen remarks, in which he quoted
the Bard of Avon on the pleasure of
having the brethren dwell in peace to-
gether Mayor Sweeley said that he
trusted the visitors would not judge
the warmth of the feeling of the peo-
pie of Twin Falls by the brevity of his
speech, as he realized that they had
travelled from 20 to 40 miles through
the dust over our splendid roads and
had probably imbibed enough of hot
ozone on the way. In more serious
vein, the mayor said that it was not
alone or chiefly in the friendly feeling
for Twin Falls manifested in the COM
ing of such a magnificent representa-
tion of west-end people, but it was in
the beneficial results which would ac-
crue to the whole tract by reason of
the cooperative spirit thus so strik-
ingly made manifest. He assured the
visitors that however good they might
imagine their cars to be, they would
discover when talking to the repre-
sentatives of the several manufacture
ers present that they were not up to
the standard, and that the purchase OF
a new car, constructed along the line
of the particular car; was imperative
He warned the would-be buyer to con-
suit his wife before making a pur-
chase, as women had ideas about color
the shape of lights and other things
about which men knew nothing, that
it would be well to consider before
buying. A blare of auto horns ming
led with the applause that greeted the
executive and the master of ceremon-
les observed that here as in the levees
it was always possible to tell the ar
rival of the noon hour by the noise
made by the mules. He introduced Sec
retary Bradley of the Buhl CONNER
cial club as an old Peoria acquaint-
ance and that gentleman began his
talk by relating some incidents al
legged to have taken place in their ear
lier life which made many who were
aware of the well known conservatism
of statement which is a characteristic
of the speaker, assume that he must
have been guilty of an error in identi.
ity MIR. Bradley spoke of the value
of cooperation of the peo7le in al
things to their common interest. HC
said that the people who came to Twir
Falls in the so autos that were in the
procession had paid for them with the
products of their industry and that the
prosperity of their city and the sur
rounding country was based upon the
cattle and hogs and other livestock o
the best strains that were raised II
the Bull country. He said that there
were 145 autos in and around Buhl.
Many Buhl people remained unit
night, taking in the show and visiting
with friends in this city.
One of the interesting features o
the Buhl parade was the road builders
patrol auto, which was an evidence
of the crusade for better roads main
tanned by that city.
