TO THE PUBLIC
AUTHORIZED BY THE GOVERNOR

In accordance with general plans out
lined by the trustees of The Mckinley
Memorial Association, a central com
mittee OF The Idaho State Auxiliary
has been appointed by Governor Hunt.
The above named committee was or
gauized in the Executive Office Of The
State House at Boise, Monday, Novem-
Der, 18th 1901. In order to give every
citizen in the State an opportunity to
contribute to this memorial, the cen
trail committee will appoint an auxilt-
airy committee in each county, who
shall invite the cooperation of the local
press, appoint such additional commit
tee in the respective towns as may be
necessary, distribute circular letters
subscription forms to local fraternal
and other organization, act as custodian
OF funds and remit the same to q. w.
Moore, President of the First National
bank Of Idaho, Boise, Idaho.
The Home Board respectfully recon-
menGs that the attention OF children In
the public schools, and students in all
Idaho colleges aud the State Univers-
ity be called to this patriotic move
ment, and, IL possible, provision made
for Thanksgiving Offering from them,
as we'll as from the general body OF cit
liens: the local board of each town to
designate the place and person to re-
ceive such Offering, on the afternoon of
Thursday, November 18th, 1901.
Without in the least meaning to re-
fuse larger gifts, the uniform sum Of
81 90 ID suggested, ana five cents In the
case of children. IL Is not the purpose
to solicit. Committees are organized
to enable the people OF this common
wealth to share with those Of every
other In the honor of contributing to
the memorial to be erected at Canton,
Ohio. II cannot be doubted that they
only require an authorized statement
Of the kind herein made, TO respond
with characteristic liberality. Upon
the patriotic sense OF the fellow citizens
the Idaho State Auxiliary confidently
rely. BY prompt and faithful cooper
alton it il hoped that final report can
be made ut an early date.
The record Of William Mckinley,
which this national movement is meant
To perpetuate for all time, Is vital with
inspiration. 1t cannot be too familiar
TO his countrymen. The sturdy valor
OF the boy In the ranks in defense Of
the flag, which won him promotion on
the battle field. Distinguished service
in the National House of Representlves
and rs Governor of his native state.
tllnstrious leadership AS Chief Magis-
tratc Of the nation 10 the time OF public
anxiety and peril, which recalls the
wisdom Of Washington and Lincoln.

PLENTY OF BERRIES.
Farmers Near Bridgevllle Expect a
Large Yield This Year.

Farmers in the lower part of tho
State, especially in Sussex are prepar-
ing for the berry season.
The mild weather is causing straw
berries to blossom out. and indications
point to an enormous crop. Bridgeville
will be the heaviest shipping station in
the State. Growers are already making
preparations for tn" crop in the way OF
erecting packing houses and securing
pickrrs. Growers who have agents in
Maryland state that there will be no
difficulty in obtaining pickers from that
State, as the smallpox epidemic has
ahatch
COpIu>ls showers Of the past few days
have greatly benefited growing vege-
tation of all kinds. and tileds of wheat
and peas are Iokins finer than usual
at this season of the year. The acre
age of peas is larger this season, ts
pea growing has become one of the lead
ing industries of this section during the
past few years.
Prospects remain good for big apple
crop, and the crop Of Winter varieties
especially will be larGci.
Prominent peach growers stale that
if the crop is not damaged from now on.
from thirty TO forty cars will be shipped
daily from Rridgrvir during the height
Of the season.
A large acreage Of tomatoes and sugar
corn will be grown fr the cannaries
tins season. The grr"'th oC the latter
is very profitable in this section
Prospects remain excellent for largs
crops Of cherries, plums. and in fact,
I'LL kinds of small fruit.

PALACE OF THE KING.

Miss Viola A lien is one OF the few ac-
tresses most beloved by women, for
usually the dashing, picturesque crea-
lures of the stage appeal rather more to
the sentimental sex which modern phil
osophy has established masculine be-
yOnda question.
Viola Allen is snch q dainty, tender
and delicate lady, that like mos women,
her very iemininity is her most heroic
strength. Her mind is fine and lumin.
ous, her graces OF person and tempera-
ment are completely captivating; her wit
a dainty violet scented sort OF Lriliance;
her pretty enthusiasms and preferences
in literature aud art absolutely beguiling
at all times. Everybody is nice and good
and talented in Viola Aliens estimation.
She herself is so beloved that everybody
claims her affection, and her compan-
ions, every one of them, are deeply at
tached to her.
She has the pre!tlest notions in dress.
and wears unaccentuated things which
seem altsgether her own style, faultless
in taste and exceptional in material and
mode. Soft greys and plenty of chiffons
and feathery textures, long plumes and
cudding sort OF fur, everything expires.
sive, and so modestly quaint and char.
acteristic that it eeens Viola Allen is the
best beloved woman in America. Her
face is flower of timidity, but her little
hands are strength in miniature. Miss
Allen, with her great success, Sin the
Palace of the King" will be seen at the
Grand Opera House tomorrow evening.

LINE WILL BE BUILT.
Energetic Men Secure Control Of
Concord Turnpike.
Wilmington City Railway Company
Can Now Construct Trolley
Road to West Chester

| The announcement made yesterday
| that the Wilmington City Railway Com
paBy mad acquired Il controlling interest
| in the Wilmington ~ Great Valley Turn
pike Company known as the Concord
turnpike, was fav0rably commented
upon.
This move gives the local company
control of the turnpike and will prevent
the Wilmington and West Chester Rail
way Co. from running its lines into
this city over the turnpike, which was II
portion of the route surveyed. 1t is
understood to be the desire of the vii.
mington City Railway Company t. run
a belt line, of which the Concord turn
pike branch and the Nandcvcr avenue
line will be part.
Recently the Wilmington City Railway
Company secured control of the vii
mington and -,ewport turnpike by buy
ing controlling interest. 1t now CON
trolls nearly every approach to the city,
having tracks over Washington, Eleventh
and Market street bridges over the Bran
dywinc and Third street over the Chris
tiana. 1t has tracks upon the Lancaster
turnpike or Lancaster avenue to Green
hill avenue, lines on the Wilmington and
Philadelphia turnpike. which is Market
street extended and owns the Whining
ton and Newport and Concord turnpikes.
II is now believed that since the turn
pike has passed into the hands Of ener.
getc men that the line between this city
and West Chester will be built in n short
time. 1t is one that is greatly necdrd.
Several tilnrs II WINS announced that the
right of way had been secured but for
some reason the company having the
charter postponed action until the people
along the proposed route gave up all
hopes of the line being built.
The Wilmington City Railway Co.
is quick to take advantage and
it is believed that it will loose little time
In putting down tie tracks. People were
laughing at tho officers of the Whining
ton ard West Chester Company for al
lowing the Wilmington City TO get the
best of them.
