the scarfs, and she exclaimed swiftly
and gladly:

other Lincoln children put together.

wool dropped and became entangled
with the feet OF Senator from Iowa.

from the chesterfield 1t would not have
had greater effect than that word
"Stubby." Lieut.. Conant looked across,
then his eyes lit up.

Nancy blushed furiously but with
dimples ningling among the color.

to hide her confusion, forming COM

They all moved aside and mustered
into couples for the next maneuyer.
Lieut.. Conant and Nancy quite nat

division of their own while, quite nat

forces about Nora.
She would have taken up her knit

absorbed Nancy and the navy officer.

Nora nodded. She wished she nigh:

A large number of inquiries have
been received during the last three
weeks concerning good farm land near
Boise. the majority of these people not
only received a pamphlet and one of
our newspapers, but a personal letter
from the secretary. We are trying
to let strangers know that Boise has
a peculiar personal touch that is just
little different than found in the or
binary city. Be careful when you
may be trying you out to see if Boise
is such a live city as you claim, that
same man may deposit $4,000 in the
bank like a farmer did the other day
from Council Bluffs and then lie
turned around and bought a farm

Mr.. w. D. Fisher,
Secretary Boise Commercial club.
Boise, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
have your letter of the 5th. So far
as the featuring of Idaho products is
concerned, would state that our in
structions to our stewards provide
that they must list all special menus
when running baked potatoes, Baked
Idaho Potatoes" and they have done
this for a number of years.
We also feature other Idaho special
ties when they are in the market, and
will go after the matter again and see
that our crews live up to the in
structions.
OF course you appreciate that we
have the famous Utah celery" also
and as our main commissary is IN
Ogden, we usually use the Utah cell
cry in season, the same as we do fresh
peaches, which come from Utah.
Rest assured we will make it a
point to give recognition to Idaho pro-
ducts whenever we can.

Mr.. w. ID. Fisher, Secretary, Boise

My Dear Mr.. Fisher:
| Your letter of March 18th at hand
and on behalf of our commercial club
of Ontario, wish to thank you and the
other members of your club for your
cordial offer of support.
/ think the attitude of our CONNER
cial club towards other towns In Snake
River Valley can be summarized as
| follows:
That whatever is good for our neigh
boring towns is also good for Ontario;
that Ontario and other towns can grow
only in proportion to the growth OF the
country. Therefore, any enterprise
that will assist in developing eastern
Oregon or western Idaho. will mater
, tally benefit all of us. OF course we
| intend to do the most we can for the
up building OF Ontario, at the same
time we have no desire or intention
to try to take anything away from our
| 9eighhortrg towns, or in any way to
impair their growth.
] think there are several things that
