Boise May Have Railway.

.aiio' especially Boise, is much
excited over the continued BOOMING
OF the Northwestern extension 70
that city. A man named Evans
mas told the Chamber of Commerce
and the people Of Boise that if he
can secure certain concessions he
VIII guarantee the rails of the
Northwestern to be extended to
reach Boise within two years from
Casper, Wyo.
1t would be splendid thing for
the whole northwest, but until
something tangible is announced
the public will look with suspicion
upon the matter, as the extension
has been referred to for many Years
past.
1t was not reasonable up to about
a year ago, as then the North
western had the monopoly of Union
Pacific traffic at Omaha, but with
IN the last year or SO the Milwaukee
system and the great Illinois
Central have forced the Union
Pacific to meet them in a spirit of
fairness at the Nebraska gateway,
SO that the Northwestern has lost
its hitherto exclusive rights, and
is therefore willing to build. While
it ''stood in'' there was no question
of building, but now showing.
Financially it is in better posi-
ton than most of the roads for
making such an extension. It has
the money, and its territory would
mean that it would be better
equipped for transcontinental traffic
than any of the roads when it
should reach the Pacific. The last
is the important item, for nova
days it is needless to speak of any
western extension unless it is to
the Pacific. The Northwestern at
Boise would not ! be able to do any
thing but local business unless
Hartman or Hill so willed it.

Died.

Victor Henry Aasa, the ter
months old son of Olars Aasa
resident of Salem, Idaho, died
August %, 1904, of Summer com
plant. The funeral services took
place in the Salem meeting house
at 10 o clock Saturday, Aug. 9th.
The speakers were: Messrs. H.
?. Jensen, Edward Larson, Sr. and
H. Roylance. After services the
funeral procession vended their sol
emn way to the Rexburg cemetery
where the irterment took place.
Mr.. and Mrs. Aasa, who came
lately from Christiania, Norway, OF
course feel deeply bereaved by the
loss of their darling son, but the
comfort and consolation from their
many friends will, we hope, do
much to relieve their sorrow. Be
cause of their genuine character and
exemplary lives too much sympathy
cannot be given them.

"Business is Business"

Business is Business the new play
which William H. Crane is to present at
the National Theater next week, will intro
duce the actor in serious role. The drama
comes from the Coincide Franchise, in
Paris. 1t is a study of the character of a
man who devotes his life to the accumula-
ton of money, and is a direct attack on
the craze prevailing all over the world for
wealth. Isidore Lechat is the main charac-
ter in Mirbeau's drama and a man who has
built up an enormous fortune. He is a man
with a love for gigantic operations, and in
all of them he has been successful. There
is no room in his life for the countless little
things which go so far toward happiness.
In the supporting company will be seen
Walter Hale, Sheridan Block, George
Backus, Harry St. Maur. Robert Payton
Gibbs H. Hassard Short, Guy Nichols, Will
liam Dupont, George f. De We're, Katherine
Grey, Harriet Otis Dellenbaugh and Emma
Field. Mr. Crane opens his engagement
with Christmas day matinee.

Forty members Of the Saturday Night
Club assembled at the clubs headquarters,
Maryland avenue and 9Th street northeast,
last night and partook Of a beefsteak din
ner. Such dinners are popular in New York
and other cities in that section, but very
few of them have been given in this city.
Last nights affair was so successful that 1t
is likely to be repeated in the near future.
The success of the dinner was largely due
to the efforts of Mr.. Fred J. Mersheimer,
who was assisted by committee composed
Of Lloyd Brooke, George Mason, Harvey
g. Ellis, John Ward and William Hettinger.
The invitations were printed in legal form
and commanded the guests to bring with
them empty stomachs and enjoined upon
them the necessity for remaining until they
had had plenty to eat and a good time. The
invitations were signed THE Ok"
The club is composed largely of Elks, and
John c. Maxwell, one of the most prominent
members of the local lodge, acted as toast
master. During the three hours session of
the club he called upon the guests for
speeches and songs and read amusing fake
kilograms which touched upon the different
members. An amusing ceremony was the
selection of a member to be awarded a
leather medal for having brought the best
appetite with him. Harvey G. Ellis was pre-
sented with the medal, although he declared
he had not tasted the tempting beef. be-
cause his time had been occupied in acting
waiter.
Thomas Flanagan, a member of the Jer-
sey City lodge of Elks, prepared the big
steaks, and was given vote of thanks as
well as being presented with handsome
certificate of membership in the club. At IL
O'Clock the party remembered the absent
member" and adjourned. Mr.. Matt Horne
presided at the piano, and among those who

Wood Alcohol in Whisky.

Forty samples of whisky and two samples
of gin recently examined by Prof. j. D.
Hird, the District chemist, contained no
wood alcohol, according to the report OF
Prof. Hird, which has just been submitted

The examination of strong drink sold in

tiles upon the receipt of a communication
from Mr.. John H. Magruder, who called at
tention to the Investigations being conduct
ed in other cities to determine the presence
of wood alcohol in whisky and other
liquors. Mr.. Magruder suggested legisla-

Health Officer Woodward has reported
that bills now pending before Congress pro-

ed liquor, and the Commissioners Will in
form Mr. Magruder to this effect.
