Idaho, under the Act of Congress of
March 8, 1879.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1907.
Col. Bryan has not yet succeed
ed in explaining how he would
continue to do the things which
President Roosevelt does and at
the same time avoid antagoniz
ing the people whose feelings are
iiurt by the operation.—Inter
Mountain.
It is really too bad that it costs
increasingly to run the government
of a new state growing as rapidly
as Idaho. But Idaho people are
not worrying about that; they do
not want their state paraded with
dirty shirt and trousers frayed out
at the bottom.—Statesman.
By denouncing the coming Petti
bone trial, as a useless expense and
political faice, democratic managers,
leaders and wheelers, expect to
make a solid play for the socialist
vote. In short, they intend to lay
a surreptitious Bnare, and finally
swallow that party, as they did the
populist a few years ago.
The report from Bonner county
has been received by the state au
ditor. This new county shows a
taxable valuation of $3,015,301 on
ly a few thousand less than the
valuation of Twin Falls county,
the other new county created by the
legislature last winter,
county, however, has a great deal
more railroad mileage than Twin
Falls county. It is estimated that
the railroad valuation of Bonner
county will he close to $2,000,000.

Since the Idaho anti-fusion law
has brought an end to the ancient
and time-honored custom of demo
cracy carrying two or three caudal
appendages through every cam
paign, that party has resorted to
the last and only recourse of swal
lowing the allied society at one
gulp. In 1908, the Idaho demo
crats will swallow the socialists
without mastication, or the .latter
must take in the former, and it re- !

Instead of the mails hereafter
going to Three Creek, iu the
southeastern corner of thiscouu
ty, going from Mouutainhome,
via Bruneau, the route has been |
changed so that they will go from j
Twin Falls. The distance from j
the latter place to Three Creek
postortice is hut little more than
the distancefroin Mouutainhome
aud the country by thç newer
route has more settlements upon
jit. And by the same taken, Bur
ley being on the south side of the
river and the Three Creek or Big
Flat conntry, is now catching
the greater portion of its trade
and shipments of cattle, wool
and other products.
On the latest Government map
and, indeed, on all official maps so
far issued, the name of South
Mountain does not appear. But in
the early settlement of Idaho there
was a military station located nine
miles south of that mountain, call
ed Camp Winthrop and the name
of Mt. Winthrop has ever since
stuck to that mountain, although
as South Mountain it, fully thirty
years ago, became a prominent
mining camp, and the mountain
has been universally known by
that name.
Inasmuch as under
that name it again promises to be
come a great silver-lead and copper
producing district, the Government
land department should have its
attention called to the name, that
on future maps issued, the name of
South Mountain may officially ap
pear.
Settlers are already establishing
themselves on the first segregation
on the North Side tract, northwest
of Milner. It is only four months
Bince this tract was opened and the
contracts for the construction of
the works were let. Water" will be
available by the first of January
and crops will be raised on the first
segregation next year. This is re
markable progress, considering the
immensity of the undertaking.
Kuhn Bros, are deserving of the
highest praise for the aggressive
and businesslike manner in which
they have prosecuted the work on
the north side. They have not
wasted a moment nor have they
overlooked a single feature calcu
lated to improve the North Side
system. By drilling wells at dif
ferent points within the scope of the
canal system they have demon
strated the existence of a priceless
water plane underlying the project.
By arranging their plans system
atically and not permitting any
portion of the work to be slighted,
they are rapidly consummating one
of the most magnificent projects in
the history of irrigation. There is
every indication that they will be
rewarded by a record breaking
opening at Jerome on October 1.—

"If my political friends in the
state of Idaho are insistant on
my taking the nomination for
! congressman, to take the seat
j now held by Burton L. French
; and that nomination may be be
stowed on me without wading
through the gory pool of a sec
ond Pocatello convention, I will
accept with pleasure," said Maj.
Fred Reed, at Spokane recently,
The Tribune is a great admirer
| of Major Reed. He is engaged in
j a great work and is making a
j success out of it. He has done a'
great deal for southern Idaho
and is capable of doing so much
more, that it would be a pity to
"Barkas is Willin'.*'
interrupt him. Idaho now has
in Congress a bright, energetic
young man, Representative
French, who by his tireless efforts
is doing the state agreatservice.
He is rapidly comingtothefront,
and it would also be a pity to in
terrupt him in his work. We
think that the people of Idaho
will insist upon Major Reed going
on with his great empire building
projects, and also upon Repre
sentative French remaining in
congress. Mr. Reed could not for
several years fill Mr. French's
place in congress and Mr. French
could not till Major Reed's place
in southern Idaho. Each man is
in the right place and we had bet
ter keep them there.—Caldwell
Tribune.
A southern Idaho man says he
is willing to run for French's
seat in congress next year. But
we are of the opinion that Mr.
French's northern Idaho friends
will have something to say about
that.—Rathdrum Tribune.
If any man in Idaho defeats
our Congressman, Burton L.
French, for a renominatiou next
year as a candidateforCongress,
he will surprise a majority of the
people of this state. Mr. French
has, more than once, proven him
self to be the most popular man
in Idaho. He lias a clean record
of which his constituents are just
ly proud.—Potlach Herald.
Like the Caldwell Tribune, we
are also an admirer of Major
Fred R. Reed, and believe him
amply equipped to make almost
an ideal representativefor Idaho
iu our national congress. There
are other gentlemen, moreover,
in the republican party iu Idaho,
among them Col. John R. Hamer
of Fremont county and Dr. B. L.
Steeves of Washington county,
whom we could support with
equal enthusiasm were they to
be named for the honor. But
this is a position where however
well equipped a man may be to
begin with a man's influence
grows from term to term while
he remains iu his place, at least
it should, if he be worthy and
capable. Idaho for six years has
hud a man, Burton L. French,
in congress. He was quite a
young man when he began his
congressional carreer, but being
honest, dilligent iu watching the
interests of Idaho, aud capable,
he has now acquired an influence
in national legislation which a
new man, however brilliant he
might be, could not achieve for
years. He is now on important
committees where no new man
could take his place. He has al
ready made a record of which his
constituents are justly proud.
By all means let us coutinue him
in his position. Major Reed is
now doing a great work in build
ing up Southern Idaho. Let us
not distract his attention from
the splendid work he is now do
iug by talking of naming him for
successor to Congressman French

COMFORT Versus STYLE
The shrewd buyer of clothing looks for more than "STYLE" in
that the true conception of a
"well dressed man" is ot
the stiff, wooden, "break if
you look at me" kind of
style, but the loose, easy,
comfortable and genteel
dresser who always appears
immaculate and yet never
carries around that tortur
ed expression which seems
to say : "I would give every
thing I possess if I could
get into a pair of "Over
Alls" and "Jumper." In
other words, "Comfort" is
return for his money. He realizes
