ALMOST EVERYBODY has heard of Her.
"A bert S. Bigelow. He has been promi-
nently mentioned as running mate with
President Wilson on the Democratic ticket
and as presidential candidate on a peace
party ticket. He was president of the Ohio
Constitutional Convention a few years ago,
and more than any other directed the activities
of that convention
During the last fifteen twenty years Herbert
Bieelow has been a power for good in Ohio politics
No important reform progressive movement has
been launched without his support. He has been
friend of the poor, the champion of the downtrod-
den the opponent of the and the leader in
every good movement
His lecture "Old Institutions and New Ideas"
reviews with humor and satire the history OF popular
reforms showing the reluctance of people to accept
new ideas. The service of the conservatives is
acknowledged but the attitude of the reactionaries
who oppose progress because of their stupidity is
treated caustically. The prejudices of the human
mind washed away.
This lecture is the fruit of twenty years of sue
eessful and aggressive campaigning for more dem
ocratic form of government.

CONSTRUCTION STARTS
ON SAWMILL
Excavation for Foundations in
Progress-Several Cars
of Material Here

Construction work on the Boise
Payette Lumber company's big saw
mill was started today and no time
will be lost in pushing it to complet-
ion. Excavating for the foundations
of a blacksmith shop and a store
room is now in progress. Five car
loads of material are on the ground
and many more are on the way.
The work is in charge of J. P. Dion
of Spokane, who has designed and
superintended the construction of
some of the most modern mills in the
west. He left today for Spokane to
bring back his wife and they will
make their home here until the mill
is completed.
The ground north of the canning
factory is covered with stakes and
they give an idea of the immensity
of the plant as planned. The first
building that will be erected will be
the blacksmith and machine shop. l.
will be 112 feet long by SO feet wide.
The next building will be the store
room 40 by 48 feet. The present
crew of men will be gradually in
creased as the work develops until
from 200 to $50 men will be employed
As soon as the new stacker, which
is being built at the Barber mill near
Boise, is completed the mechanics en-
ployed there will be moved here.
The need of more houses is becom-
ing a pressing one. Every mouse in
town is occupied and the rooming
houses and private houses are filling

PEARL.

The West Coast Mining Company
have resumed operations on their
property here. They have taken the
water out and are now ready to take
out ore. c. E. Stabler of Lansing,
Mich, treasurer OF the company, has
been in camp for about two weeks,
but was called home on stress of busi-
ness. He is in the fuel business at
that place. W. L. Haag, another Lam
sing man, is the head of the company.
George H. Wyman of Boise is in
charge of the work. They have a
small body of ore which should be
good investment for the stockholders.
Six men are at work.
Dry ranchers around here are not
feeling elated over the prospects of
the fall crop. Considerable winter
wheat did not come up. One rancher
reseeded S5 acres of his wheat field to
barley and others will cut for hay.
The season has been too cold for any
thing to grow. Weather changed from
winter to summer in one night and
now all vegetation is taking advan-
tage of the hot spell. Range has been
short all spring. Some sheep are still
here; pretty hot for them, but snow
in the hills holds them here. Several
bands are held below Thunder City.
All the ranchers are going in for
stock, having come to the conclusion
that it does not pay to haul the ranch
produce to market. The hauling is
pig item IN this locality.

cars and wild cheering of delighted
people, the celebration of the location

its capacity with a crowd of happy
people.

the splendid municipal band. Payette
was represented by Colonel Patchy
Uncle Hi Dunn, ]. F. Orr and others.
The colonel had crepe on his arm to
express the deep sorrow of his town
in failing to land the mill, but his
beaming face had no such funeral
expression, and, good sport that he
is, he and his companions entered into
the spirit of the occasion. Next to-
Payette, we would sooner Emmett
should have the mill than any other
town" is the way he expressed it. The
Boise delegation was headed by Sher-
man Coffin and Secretary Childs of
the Commercial club, the only Joel
Priest, Harry Shellworth and A. A.
Fraser of the lumber company.
The parade contained more than 100
and the Boise and En-
nett bands. A pretty feature that
rounds of cheers was a float
with H. Gouls eagle in cage, mount
ed on truck and drawn by 40 little
white-robed girls. The driver was the
little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Guy
B. Mains and she occupied a seat on
top of the cage. The float bore a
placard, "This is the Guy"
