was practically forgotten in the ex-
citement attending other diver
sions. The dairymen were the big
noise at the beginning of the week.
For three davs they attracted un-
usual attention but their exhibition
was worth it, besides Boiseites do
love a free show. To pass through
the spacious rooms and even glance
at the numerous contraptlons of the
dairymen, from the steam cow
mixer to the milk tester, was in
itself liberal education.
The County Commissioners also
met. The only thing lacking from
the writer's viewpoint in this
gathering was the smiling count
ances of former commissioner of
Latah, John Woody-now sheriff of
the greatest little county IN the
state-a county that has held the
state university against the on
slaughts of state legislatures for
twenty-five years.
Then there was the meeting of the
mining men of the state. Here
again, Latah county came to the
front through the omnipresence of
Jerome j. Day. He was given a
vote of thanks and congratulations
for his gift of a thousand dollar
scholarship to the school of mines
of the state university situated in
Latah county. For his many other
good qualities, especially that of
steering the democratic party into
the arms of it's ancient enemy at the
last election, cheap cut of his
handsome features was given a
place in the columns of the Daily
Statesman. No man can hide his
light under bushel when he comes
to this city. Genius is appreciated
at the Capital.
DR.. Lindley also came. He de-
livered a mastery address before
the Mining Congress which was
universally praised. Somehow the
Doctor has the happy faculty of say
ing the right thing at the right
time and in the right place. He is
deservedly popular IN Boise.
About the same time the ladies of
the G. A. R. gave a Lincoln day
banquet to about 200 of the old boys
Of '61. The addresses were felicit-
Gus. It was decided that there are
now two Typical American" on
record Roosevelt and Lincoln.
That reminds me that great mass
meeting was held last Sunday even
ing to pay homage to Roosevelt.
1t was, indeed a great gathering
and to Roosevelt was applied all the
endearing epithets found in the un-
abridged dictionary. Judge Nor
gan of Latah county, now Chief
Justice Morgan, spoke. Among
other things this is what the Chief
Justice said: "He (Roosevelt) has
been called typical American.
do not think he was. He was a
magnitied, and intensified Amer
lean. There was but one Alexander
the Great. but one Julius Ceasar
but one Napoleon, and there will be
but one Roosevelt"
A few days later came non-par-
tisan Lincoln Day Banquet. This
was inaugurated by The Grand
Army of the Republic and had, per-
haps, for its main purpose the ex.
! plotting of the marvellous oratorical
powers of Chief Justice Morgan,
formerly of Latah county but now
a property owner of Boise. The
writer was not present but the re-
port says that the audience laughed
most of the time. For this the
audience should not be censured for
the memory of Lincoln is a funny
subject and the Judge looked the
part.
But all this was preliminary tc
the big event of the week the
partisan Lincoln Day Banquet. This
was a great assembage of dyed in
the wool republicans. If the Chief
Justice was there he was lost in
the shuttle. No one listening to the
addresses could possibly get the i'm
preston that this big meeting wa:
held for the honoring of the memory
of the immortal Lincoln. Its name
