Public Approves
Fine New Store
Splendid Fixtures Add
Materially to Drug
Firms Home.

Zone of the most modernly furnish
ed drug stores in Idaho" is the popular
verdict upon stepping into the recently
remodeled and now completely refur-
nished store of the Greenlund Drug
company.
And the popular verdict is not far
wrong. Not only is the Greenlund
Drug store the acme of perfection so
far as furnishings is concerned but, ac-
cording to A. f. Sutton, one of the
owners, this store houses one of the
most complete line of drugs to be
found in southern Idaho.
1t is, however, the exceptionally at
tractive fixtures which meet with gen.
eral approval. The entire store is fin
ished in mahogany. One side of the
store is taken up entirely with plate
crystal glass show cases. Every foot
of shelf room is perfectly visible and
gives an opportunity for artistic dis
play of stock. Glass show cases with
minimum of nontransparent material
give full display of everything they
contain.
In addition, there are number of
modern humidor cigar show cases, a
number of buffet type English wall
cases and the floor is covered with
special composition material designed
for the purpose. A spacious balcony
is devoted entirely to a music depart
Fment, the firm handling Edison phon-
ographs.
Confidence in the future of Caldwell
is expressed by everything in this
store which is at present far ahead of
the town so far as the quality of its fix
lures is concerned.

NEW PROPOSAL
MAY MEAN Bic
DEVELOPMENTS
Reclamation Service
Submits Plan to Water
Users to Finance Need
ed improvements.

Negotiations were opened here
Wednesday afternoon between the
Payette-Boise Water Users associa-
ton executive board and ]. B. Bond,
Boise project manager, together with
B. E. Stoutemeyer, reclamation coun-
sci, which may pave the way to en-
largement of the New York canal to
provide ample water for project lands
under the Deer Flat reservoir and to
finance needed drainage of the project.
Tentative and brief proposals which
will be incorporated in substance in
the proposed new contract were sub
mitted by Mr.. Bond and Mr.. Stout
emeyer to the board of directors of the
Water Users association Wednesday
morning. No portion of the proposal
was made public other than the gen
eral subjects which it covered, but |,
is understood that the board Of direct
ors of the association, while taking
the proposal under advisement, is In
clined to view it with favor.
Await Approval.
1t is understood. too. that the terms
of the proposal have been submitted
to the department of the interior for
approval and that it is quite likely the
plan will be approved. Not until this
approval has been grantd, however,
and not until such time as the revised
and amplified contract is ready to be
acted upon, will it be given entire pub
licity, it is understood.
This new plan in no wise relates to
the organiafi0Hrsof drainage district
to supplant the present contract with
the Water Users association, but is
intended only to supplement it to
cover the proposed drainage work and
the enlargement of the New York
canal.
Wednesday afternoon following the
presentation of the program, the ex-
ecutive committee of the association
held closed meeting for thorough
discussion of this matter and others
relating to the project .

One man, he said can skin 400 rab-
bits aday, after practice. The skins,
he said, are made up to initiate furs of
other animals, some very handsome
results being produced. Large guam

goods.

letter to the fur dealers, "for the rea-
son that in the state of Idaho this an
mal is the cause of considerable loss
to farm crops and campaign will be
conducted during the coming winter
by this office'to exterminate the pest
in several counties in the state, and if
a good price can be secured for the
skins it would greatly aid in creating
interest to kill the rabbits. AS the
skins would be gathered by a large
number of farmers who are co-operat-
ing with this office in the campaign, it
would be necessary that the firm buy
ing the skins make some arrangement
to assure a market at known price
and prompt payment for the skins.
This would be necessary for the rea-
son that the farmers would not prepare
the skins for market unless they can
be assured of market at a good price
and prompt payment"

SHOW To
EXCEED OTHERS
Seed Exhibits Greater
Than in Former
Years.

Nampa.-"That the week January
1914, inclusive, is going to be big
week for the seed growers OF Idaho
is clearly evident from the interest be-
ing shown in all sections of the state. :"
according to B. F. Sheehan, secretary
OF the Idaho Seed Growers. associa-
ton.
The show is to be held in Nampa
and without doubt is going to be the
largest affair of it's kind ever held west
of the Rockies. To date we have more
exhibits than at any previous show.
When the time arrives | expect five
to ten times as many exhibits as ever
before
Idaho should be able to put on the
greatest seed show in the country.
When one stops to think of our rank
as seed producing state one will find
that it is second to none. What brings
the buyers from New York, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Illinois and many other
states into our state each fall? They
are after ldaho-grown seed. Our
clover, our alfalfa. our timothy and our
peas and beans are in demand ip every
section of the country The quality
is second to none and this fact is rec
ognized among the whole Of the seed
trade.
Advertise Districts,
"a feature of the show this year is
to group and advertise the different
important seed growing sections of the
state, Many of these sections have a
rational reputation but are compare
lively little known to most Idaho peo-
pie The Grimm alfalfa seed section
of Bingham county is the best there
is, Seed from this section yearly goes
to Canada, New Zealand and eastern
states. Timothy seed from Long Val
ley is second to none and any seeds
man will tell you that, The potatoes of
Bonner county, peas from Fremont
county, clover from Twin Falls, alfalfa
from Jerome and Gooding take their
palce along with our other important
seed growing sections of the state
Marketing is going to be the prin-
cipal topic Of discussion at the show.
Speakers from outside the state who
are familiar with marketing conditions
will address the convention. The state
farm bureau is TO meet during the
week and a representative of the ma
tional federation will address Idaho
growers on this newly formed organ
ization and its objects"

it came forcibly to my attention.
Tonight, in the state penitentiary
at Boise there are between 80 and 90
boys, IA to 20 years of age. of total

There is no place else in Idaho for
them. Only this evening, two moth

these boys cannot be pardoned before
they have served minimum term of
one year.

mother was feeble minded and every

10 of those children.
Il tell you that the people of this
