themselves.
Constantinoplc. Feb. 1l-(By A. P)

The situation in Smyrna is I'M
changed. but there is anxiety in for
eign circles oyer the inherent danger
of the delicate situation because of
the mined waters.

Visiting Divine breaches

Rev. L. P. Nissen, director of re-
ligious education in the missionary
district of Idaho of the Episcopal
church, spent Sunday in Glenns Fer
ry visiting the Episcopal Sunday
school and preached at the evening
service in Grace Church. At the
evening service he spoke of the inn
portance of religious education and
pointed out that the 40 minutes each
Sunday devoted by the various
churches to this subject was not suf-
ficient; that in the East one hour
day was being given in many of
the states for religious education in
connection with the regular educa-
tion of the child, and that wonder
full results were being obtained.

When Jesus was a wee tiny baby
His bed was made of hay;
The wise men followed a big bright
star
And it led them where He lay.
They brought him gifts Of silver and
gold
Because they loved him, you know.
That's why the officers are giving
this gift to you
Because they love you So"
Although Mrs. Cannon said she
was taken "off her feet" she was
able to respond in her usual charm
ing manner.
Then Mr.. Gaines addressed Mr.
Bennett, and said, Brother Joe, we
don't want your wife to be jealous,
but the officers give this gift'to you
because they love You So" Then he

City Dads Enjoined

The sewer question is still hold
ing the front place on the commun-
ity stage. Saturday each member of
the Board was served with legal pa
pers calling upon them to appear in
court to show cause why the con-
tract entered into with a Portland
firm to provide the necessary legal
papers in connection with the pro-
posed sewer improvement district
should not be set aside as illegal, and
the ordinances so far passed be de-
clared null and void. The case will
probably come before the court the
latter part of this month. Morgan,
Eldridge and Hiler of Boise are rep
resenting the protestants in this
matter and Sheppard Morgan is the
party filing the complaint for the
protestants. We must now await the
courts decision before anything def
mite is done. Both sides are conf
dent of winning the case.

tional institutions. He compared the
education of 80 years ago with the
education of today, and pointed out
the fact that the equipment of today
was far in advance of that of few
years ago. 1t was naddress that
all taxpayers who are opposed to the

interesting comparisons in the cost
of various lines of endeavor and that
of the public school and the colleges
of our country. He complimented

they have not lost any of their pep.
We refer to Casey and Ottenheim-

full of that spirit which makes a

THE TOURIST PARK STILL
USED BY TRAVELLERS

Strange as it may seem, the Noun

use of by travellers, although the

the discard. Almost every night
some argonaut puts up there on his
way east or west and enjoys the CON
venfences provided.
The summers travel over the high
ways was the heaviest in the history
of automobiling, and the park was
nightly used by from ten to thirty
fire cars.
