Boise, Ida, Sept. -, 1916.
Hon f. r. Meredith
Des Moncs. Iowa.
Dear Sir:
understand that the partisan press
of your state is attacking your person
al character in regard to your con-
nection with the West End Twin Falls
Irrigation company in the state OF
Idaho.
Since my connection with the state
land board as chairman your company
has done what has been required Of
them, giving q new bond for the faith
full performance of its contract in
place of an old one which we believed
to he obsolete and not valid in law.
You have also spent money in rchabil-
itating the project so that the bonafide
settlers can live upon the tract.
Previous to my membership on the
board, the attorney general. who was
a member. informs me that YOU acted
in good faith and put some of your
own money in the project to help it
along. and it, therefore, gives me plea
sure to write these few lines TO YOU in
order that YOU may protect yourself
and satisfy your constituents that
there is nothing in your connection
with this project that reflects in any
way on your integrity. honesty. and
good intentions.
Yours very truly,

REMARKABLE CAMP AICN
MADE BY GOVERNOR
IN THE NORTH


stirs mis- audience to a high pitch OF
enthusiasm because he brings them a
message that has the ring of rugged
honesty and integrity.
At Kamiah last Saturday night the
governor had "A truly remarkable meet
ing. 1t was the largest meeting in the
history of Kamiah. The town has ID
population or about 200 people. Fully
500 people packed the opera house TO
hear the governor.
What makes the Kamiah meeting
especially notable is that it is the
place where some of the people said
the governor would not come to, be-
cause he had vetoed the kamiah bridge
bill. But he went, and was greeted by
a great crowd. This shows that the
people have the spirit of fairness. In
stead of being ccnsured the kamiah
people gave the governor an enthu-
siastic reception.
The famous Kamiah Indian band,
known throughout the northwest, and
of which Professor Morris is the dircc-
tor, gave the governor a splendid
scrcnade at the hotel before the meet =
ing, and then marched from the hotel
to the opera house.
At the conclusion of the governor s
stirring address, 10 young ladies of
Kamah sang n very effective political
song composed especially for the oc-
Casion.
Hundreds Of those in the audience
then came forward TO meet and shake
hands with the governor.
HAS A BUSY SUNDAY.
SUNDAY morning the governor left
Kamiah in the Governors Special for
short stop at orofino. then pro-
cecded TO Ahsahka for another stop.
The entire population was there to
greet him. AT I.er ore stop of an
hour was made. Everyone in town
and the surrounding country came to
see the governor. Upon request. the
governor made a brief talk in which
he emphasized that education, spir-
itual force and character are the three
things that spell success in life
The only discourtesy the governor
met With in the north was AT Lewis
ton last Monday while the teachers
OF northern counties were attending
the institute here. The teachers asked
the superintendent of public insiruc-
tion of Nez Perez county to invite the
governor to address the institute. This
superintendent refused to invite the
governor She is the candidate for
superintendent ON the Republican state
ticket. Later the teachers took poll
which resulted in 209 for Wilson and
80 for Hughes.

to intelligent Americans, but it is
something new to have Englishmen
admit it. Unquestionably our indus
tries in general are today the most
efficient in the world, because Of their
liberal use of horsepower and i'm
proved machinery, the intelligence
and energy of their workmen and
their adoption of modern efficiency
methods.
Efficient as Germany is in most
things, few of her big industries can
stand comparison with ours. 1t is in
selling ability that she beats us, and
there we are rapidly adopting her
own thorough methods. France is
not a real competitor of ours. As for
British competition in the worlds
markets, we are so immensely supe-
rior on the manufacturing side that
we need have little fear of losing any
trade opportunities the war opens up
if the other factors are equal. And
we can make them equal by better
craftsmanship and 10y flooding with
capital, as she has done in the past,
the countries whose markets we seek.

uE1rER.WRITING WEEK.

Oregon is having a Letter writing
Week." Everybody in Oregon who
knows anybody else in any less favor
ed state is to write at least one let
ter telling of the joys and wol1ers OF
Oregon. Crater lake, prunes and To-
Cranberry juice will all come in for
their share of praise. .
The Oregon Statesman prints a
sample letter, 300 copies of which one
business firm is sending out to all its
customers in the exterior darkness
beyond the borders, which reads more
like an old-fashioned Fourth of July
Grafton than a serious epistle. It's
more nambuoyant than a railway
prospectus, more fuls0me than pat
ent medicine ad. @.st" ..
BUTTS useful and sensible, just
the same. The town or state which
deliberately sets out to 'brag about
itself must first of all have some
thing definite to brag about. And in
getting its material it must learn
about itself. II there are weak spots
in its transportation, its government,
its industrial or agricultural systems,
these are going to come out. The
braggers may not mention them in
their letters, but they are going to
get to work to remedy them, if only
to avoid being the laughing-stock of
other towns and states.
1t means cooperation, too, and pub.
lie spirit. The people who write
these letters one year for fun, are
going to get together next year to
make things better in sober earnest.

THE HONEST BOOSTER.

A berry.grOwer writes letter OF
protest to the Tacoma Tribune
against publishing inflated accounts
Of profits in his particular industry.
Someone, presumably speaking au-
thoritatively, had been quoted in the
Tribune as stating that raspberries
netted the grower about $166.19 per
acre in the Puyallup valley. The
grower cites the facts to prove that
from 81 to $l02 per acre is much
nearer the truth. And he concludes:
81 have no intention of knocking.

Of the farmer in the valley. But | do
feel that much harm is being done by
misrepresentation, and the imitation
of possible profits. as these are
placed before prospective settlers to
induce them to come in. believe
much more in the boosting line is to
be accomplished by telling the truth
and citing things as they actually are

full facts can achieve"

necessarily one Of them. And the
same line of reasoning applies all the
way down to the smallest American

HOME BUILDING.

An article in a current number of
The Craftsman discusses the Ameri-
can home of the future. The author
shows how the domestic architecture
of America may be the most beauti.
full of history, because of our beauti.

of materials. But we must know
how to build before the poetry Of
architecture is expressed in land
of truly beautiful homes. He makes
number of sane and practical sug-
gestions for the builder moderately

One OF the most important of these
is the planning that should precede
the building. If the idea is an elab-
crate and snowy residence little plan.

will result. A lot of money and free

SullClcHl. Dul lllc average man
hasn't this unlimited wealth, and, fur.
thermore, he is building a home. To
make it really a home he must plan
! wisely and find out beforehand just
what is essential to his own comfort
and happiness in that home. The ar
rangement of windows, the best utili-
cation of every inch of space, the
size and position of cupboards and
closets are all important to the indi.

He wants his home honestly built,
with good workmanship and good ma.
terials. No matter how large or how
small the house is, it can be solidly
made instead of flimsily. In these
days, too, it can be made sanitary
practically fireproof and comfortable
The beauty of the home will take
care of itself if it is first appropriate
and comfortable in every detail.
