The Mid-winter Course of the Albion
State Normal School will begin November
28, 1910. This course is for the
of givining those who have
purpose
not had an
opportunity to get into school a chance to
liegin their work late in the year. Classes
will be organized in first year English,
History, Algebra and Zoology. This will
be a splendid opportunity for graduates
of the 8th grade to continue their work.
Room and board at the dormitory, $14.00
per month. For full particulars address:
State Normal School, Albion, Idaho.
On the Honor Roll of the University of
Idaho for last year, underClass A Honors,
appears the name of Miss Mattie Heer, of
this place. This is the second time that
Miss Heer'8 name,has appeared upon this
roll, and this community may feel proud
that it has a representativeupon this list,
as it stands for what is highest and best
in scholarship at that institution. *The
Honor Roll system was begun three years
ago as an inducement to higher scholar
ship. The Roll is composed of two
classes—Class A and Class B. At the end
of each college year the average of each
student's grades is taken and, if his aver
age permits of it, he is assigned to either
of the classes, as his grades warrant.
THE ELECTION
The last week's election in Owyhee
County was a most remarkable one.
While the result was disappointing to
some, there is some satisfaction in know-.
ing that those elected were men of which
the respective parties should be proud
and of whom the people are proud. Mr.
Hawley's heavy vote over Governor
Brady in the southeast was a most sur
prising outcome of the campaign.
Locally the people are to be congratu
lated upon electing a most excellent staff
of officers. Clean, clear-cut men of both
parties will control the destiny of the
county for the next two years, men who
are morally and mentally fit to cope with
the conditions. All-prejudice and party
dislike should be put aside and every en
couragement given to the new officials in
the transaction of the county business.
Intelligent co-operation should give place
to ignorant and vicions kicking. The
taxpayers should not be allowed to in
fringe on rights belonging to the of
ficials.
The men who will represent the county
are worthy of the honor given them, and
should give Owyhee County a place in all
legislative enactments.
The commissioners elected are all good,
honest, business men, with common
sense, and should, unless hampered, give
the county a splendid administration 4
The balance of the officers elected are
thoroughly reliable in every way, and
can be counted upon to do their best to
protect the interest of the county.
TEACHERS EXAMINATION
There will be an examination for
teachers Nov. 21st and 22nd. Questions
will be issued for second and third grade
certificates.
Jennie Farrer Avery,
Supt. of Public Instruction
Silver City, Nov. 6th, 1910.
WILSON
A trial was held here in the Justice
Court on the 10th of November before
James Prior, which aroused great interest
in this neighborhood. Suit was brought
by W. H. Bosz vs. H. B Ward to collect
one hundred ninety-seven dollars and
eighty-two cents, with interest, balance
due for drilling a well. Plaintiff was
represented by H. S. Kessler, an attyrney
of Boise, and Mr. Ward, the defendant,
by Mr. Stone, of Caldwell. Defendant
called for a jury; the trial proceeded and
was contested bitterly. The jury returned
a verdict for plaintiff for the full amount
claimed.
The Nugget shop, being well equipped
witti a good line of display type of differ
ent kinds, is now more capable than ever
to take care of your job work.
Bi$ Fight for the Exposition
The matter of the selection of a site for
a world's exposition to celebrate the com
pletion of the Panama Canal will come
before Congress for decision next month
and the two rival claimants for the. honor
have for months past been marshalling
their forces for the final struggle. Both
are confident of winning the coveted en
dorsement and both will have representa
tives on the ground to present their re
spective claims before the committees of
the Senate and House.
On the one hand is San Francisco, the
hustling metropolis of the Pacific coast,
the city which stands to profit more
through the completion of the canal than
almost any other city in the United
States.
On the other hand is New Orleans, the
Louisiana metropolis, located on the
Mississippi, sixty miles from the gulf of
Mexico, which will add nothing to its ex
port trade through the opening of the
canal and which will derive no direct ben
efit from it.
Ninety per cent of fhe exports from N®w
Orleans go to New Yoek or Europe, and
they will continue to go that way aft/
the canal is opened to the commerce of
the world. Ships from the Atlantic sea
board and from European ports, with car
goes for the Pacific coast or the Orient
will not approach New Orleans on their
way through the canal, either going or
coming. The great majority of them will
touch San Francisco, and in the case of
many ot the larger ships, San Francisco
will undoubtedly be made a regular port
of call.
The Panama canal was designed pri
marily to promote trade between the At
lantic coast and European ports with the
Pacific coast and with the Orient, by pro
viding a shorter and cheaper route. F rom
a commercial point of view New Orleans'
interest in the canal, compared with that
of San Francisco, is nil.

THE BANNER.
Work at the Banner is progressing sat
isfactorily in both the upper and lower
workings. A larger force of men has
been put to work on the lower tunnel,
which is being driven into the mountain
with increased rapidity.
In the upper workings the ore is being
blocked out. By spring enough will have
been.taken out to run the mill on for a
considerable length of time. By that
time it is hoped the ore shoot will be tap
ped in the lower tunnel; this will mean a
steady run of the mill.
Each day, each foot nearer the goal the
tuunnel is driven, the interest, the excite
ment of the management and stockhold
ers becomes more intense. And not only
is the interest manifested by the manage
ment alone, but also by the people of this
community, who hope that when spring
comes the Banner will be paying divi
dends.
Knocker and Booster
If there were ever two words made use
of as stalking horses for the"false alarm"
class they are given in caption. They
occasionally may be used to ex press some
thing, but they are more often brought
into play to promote theinterests of those
who never participated in a public move
ment in their lives unless there was
"something in it" for them.
If there be an honest expression of
opinion for the good of all, in the behalf
of the individual, whether right or wrong
there are those who set him down as a
"knocker" and who arrogate to their
silly, narrow minded'selves all the virtues
of "boosterism".
While there are undoubtedly excep
tions to the rule, it is generally true that
the man who ostentatiously parades
himself as a "booster" is about as value
less an asset as any community can pos
sess.
Energetic application for the public
good is "boosting," of course but the act
itself furnishes a sufficient proclamation.
A man may be mistaken without being
a "knocker" in the sense in which the
term is used nowadays. And he may be
called a "knocker" by superficial people,
possibly disappointed in their own nest
feathering plans while yet being right
and the best friend of the community.—
