We invite attention to the letter
of Geo. w. Cobb to the people of Iowa
county stating that if the people will
aid him to the extent of $500. 600 to
be repaid to them in cancellation Of so
much of the present railroad bonds
he will build and equip, within one
year, railroad from Mineral Point
northward through the county. The
question for the people to consider is,
"shall we secure the immediate con-
struction of a railroad through our
county from south to north, which it is
generally admitted is our present
greatest need, and at the same time
liquidate the greater part of the old
railroad bonds which are our greatest
present curse"

A dual debate between the Uniyer-

British Columbia is scheduled for the
near future, and promises to be one
of the best of the present season.
The question concerns the much
mooted question of reciprocity be-
tween the United States and Canada
in regard to goods which are sold be-
tween the two countries.
Idaho will be represented by
Michael Thometz and William Briscoe
on the affirmative, while the negative
will be handled by Walter Greathouse
and L. A. Thomas Briscoe and
Greathouse are letter men in debate
and are most effective speakers. Law
renee Wallace and Ralph Reese are
the alternates.
Due to f1uctuating market quotations
on products which are internationally
changed, it is proving a difficult mat
ter to secure data for the debate, but
in spite of this handicap, the men are
all working hard, and good debate is
promised.
