THE PLAY
At the Opera House Wednesday
eUentlg.

The Blackfoot opera house has
never been filed with a larger or more
appreciative audience than the one
that gathered there on last Wednes-
day evening 10 witness the produc-
ton of the popular play: "My Broth
er's Keeper" given under the auspices
of the w. C. I. u, by home talent.
The generous attendance and hearty
applause show that the Blackfoot
people do not fail to honor the efforts
of those who seek to entertain them
by presenting play that while sim
pie in its construction is at once
wholesome and entertaining and mirth
provoking to the last degree.
The play was cast with admirable
discretion and each part was given
with a Just and broad conception of
the character TO be rendered.
Miss Hubbell, as the sprightly and
coquettish "Shellie," carried the audi
ence with her through her joys and
troubles and was equally charming in
tears or laughter.

Davenport to Chicago, from Duluth to
Buffalo and from Buffalo via the Erie
canal and the Hudson river to New
York city would be the most brilliant
and productive investment our govern
ment could make, and there would fol-
low revival of American shipbuildtng
for the coastwise and internal as we'll as
for the foreign trade"
However, there is another side TO the
shield, and if the views of Captain W.
O. Clark are correct, the advocates of
canals have some ''tall hustling" TO do.
The captain is a mogul among the New
York canal men and is one Of the pro-
motors of the coming centennial cele-
bration. "There is a crisis, " he remark
ed the other day 10 a New York Sun
reporter, "and it has got to be met at
once. More grain has come from the
west to the seaboard since the opening
OF lake navigation to the present time
than ever before in a similar period.
Philadelphia is receiving an unprece-
dented boom in grain export shipments.
1t is providing cheaper terminal facili-
ties than those Of the metropolis. The
trunk line pool gives Philadelphia
through the new feeder-the Reading
road-a rate of three cents per 100
pounds lower than the New York rates.
with this condition there can be
only one result. Millions of bushels of
grain that should come to New York
are directed 10 rival seaports. Since the
opening of lake navigation grain has
been forwarded from Chicago to Buff
falo, distance Of nearly 1000 miles, for
one cent and fraction per bushel. The
rate on the canal from Buffalo TO New
York has fuctuated between two and
one-eighth and four cents per bushel, and
this, mind you, on a waterway that has
been without improvements since war
times, An important question naturally
arises, Is New York TO allow her great
canal system TO deteriorate to such an
extent as TO make itimpossible for boat
men to successfully compete with rival
routes and the great Canadian canal
system?
millions upon millions have been ex-
pended in lettering and perfecting the
railway routes. Hundreds of boats are
vainly waiting for cargoes at the port of
Buffalo. Figures tell the story of the
need of canal improvements better than
words. In 1862 over 50, 100000 bushels
of grain came TO Buffalo from the far
