city proper is symmetricaily spread on
the floor of the Boise valley through,
which flows the Boise river Part
OF the suburban sections is on the rle-
sa or bench to the south. Widening
away to the west for u distance g
seventy miles. this valley of orchard
forest is merged into the Payette,
Council and Weser valleys.
Located half way between Salt Lake
500 miles TO the east, and Portland, 500
miles to the west, Boise is the largest
city in the intervening territory. 1t
therefore, has wide trade radius. The
Oregon Short Line is it's main trans
portation artery. Slectric interurban
lines weave a web radiating from 1t as
the center. connecting it with the pros
porous cities of Caldwell and Nampa
and a number of smaller towns. Two

as modernly equipped as any to De

MODERN IN EVERY WAY
Telephone, telegraph, electric lights

who have been consulted stated that
they could hardly believe that such

II would seem, however, that this
action Of the governor is but adding

was not believed that an ATTEMPT

the people Of the State by the legis-
lature. 1t will be we'll for the people
to bear in mind for future reference
the various startling incidents which
have accompanied the question of the
alleged adoption Of this federal
amendment, and if high-handed tao
tics and unprecedented methods are
evidence of how desperate a cause is,
then surely such evidence is amply
furnished by the legislative, judicial,
and executive action in fostering
this obnoxious amendment on the peo-
pie of Tennessee n plain violation
of the constitution of the State and
reoeated decisions and rules Of pro-
cedure of the supreme court of Ten
nessee.
Judge Joseph G. Higgins, president
Of the Tennessee Constitutional
League, said the action of Chief
Justice Lansdan would stay all pro-
cedure in Tennessee until the next
meeting Of the supreme court, which
will be held at Knoxville, beginning
Sentember 20, At that time the anti
suffrage forces will present the mat
ter to the court and pray that Judge
Larsden's action be not upheld

SUFFRAGE PASSES
AFTER BITTER FIGHT


Continued from Page One.
i rendered the executive power 10 The
interference of the judicial and sub
/ mitted to the injunction. Now they arr
up in arms over what they chose ia
call the unprecedented action of an
appellate judge in denying to them
their right to have their day III
court" It appears that the chief
justice granted the writ without
notice.
What the next move will be nobody
appears to know. An effort will
probably be made to enjoin the sec
rotary of state from proclaiming the
amendment as the law of the land.
This throws the dispute into the fed
eral courts, where the suffrage lead
ers want it and where the battle will
be renewed on broader and less
bloody field.
1t is certain that it has passed
from Tennessee's jurisdiction. The
dissenters hold to the hope that when
the supreme court meets in Knoxville
in September it may overrule the
action of its chief justice in vacating
the injunction Of the chancery court.
But by that time the amendment will
be running the gamut of the federal
courts. Besides the governor by his
action today regards ratification as
an accomplished fact, and the music,
together with the laughter which
comes filtering up from the ballroom
below indicates tonight that the suf-
fragists are in joyous agreement with
him.
They are celebrating the victory
which moves Tennessee another step
forward towards the goal Of the "per-
feet &c."
The certification was carried out
in the governors office without any
ceremony. 1t was 10 o'clock before
the fiat of the chief justice was
spread on the minutes of the supreme
court directino the chancellor to send
up the papers, They, in effect, vacated
the injunction, but it was feared that
news of the order might give the dis
senters another whack at the amend
ment. The governor had already had |
enough Of injunctions and restraining
orders So closely was the certifica- /
ton kept that the usual certificate OF
the secretary of state was not af-
fixed The constitution says the gov
arnor shall be the keeper Of the great
seal.
The result is that in view Of the

Upon Patrick Connolly he fas-
tened the honor of being "the Mayor

York's first unofficial mayor. He
was installed with befitting pomp in
Rosenstein's saloon, at the corner Of
Columbia and Delaney streets. The
first Mayor has long since departed
from Poverty Hollow, but the chair
IN which he used to sit still stands
in Rosenstein's saloon, and for

patriotism he has served in Siberia,
and in Russian and German prisons.
On August 6, 1914, Pilsudski
showed to the world that Poland
meant to be Independent at all costs
by invading Russia on his own au-
thority at the head Of his Polish
Legion. To-day the workingmen
and the peasants trust him. Lib

middle classes accepts his leader

"1 have no fear for Poland in a

agine any situation in which they
would get the better Of us, so long
IS we get the supplies we need. Our
weakness lies on that side, and we
need all the assistance the Allies
can give u.s."
Summed up, Poland has plenty Of
man power to take care of herself
in the present struggle with Bolshe-
vik Russia, but she sorely needs
supplies, clothing and equipment.

otherwise known as Joe Levy. "He
has been away more than thirty
days, and it amt no good to come
back and call himself Mayor any
longer yet. I know what the rules

Just then the trunks arrived from
overseas, and when Simon Steingut
had distributed to his constituents
two trunkfuls of knives and beads
and toys the vote was taken. It was
another defeat for the usurper.
Steingut remained Mayor.

Zeltner entered upon his career

he made them. When things were
