the order to examine again all the men

taken 800 men, and from my company

er of the music department, took
charge and announced the pro-
gram, which was one of the most
enjoyable ever presented to the
club.
The first ten minutes was occu-
pied by a resume of current events
ably presented by Mrs. Gagon,
who paid especial attention to the
shistory making of the past
month.
The central theme of the after
noon was Schubert, the Austrian
genius, who, hardly known to the
world while he lived, left music
that will always delight the lovers
of freshness of melody supported
by harmonies of equal interest.
The first song, sung by Mrs.
Simmons, accompanied by Miss
Wright, was Shakespeare s delight
ful lyric, "Hark. Hark. the Lark
at Heavens Gate Sings y and 1t
almost seems that the great poet
foresaw that Schubert could not
resist adding to the beauty of the
words the magic of bis music for
he makes Cloten say in scene
third of Cymbelne from which
the song is taken, "a wonderful
sweet air. with admirable rich
words to it," a description which
does it no more than justice.
Mrs. Hansbrough's paper on the
life of Schubert gave, in brief, the
outline of his short career with its
obscure origin, hardships and pow
erty and the ali too early death of
the composer at the age of thirty
one.
Miss West then sang cave
Maria with much effect, the
sweet and solemn measures of the
music suiting well the voice of the
singer.
Miss Wright, who accompanied
all the singers, then played a
piano solo, theme and variations,
in way to bring out the pure and
melodious charm of the compost
ton.
Mrs. Ryan's spirited rendering
of Mrs. Nesbit's poem, "The
Battle of Silence" with its story
of brave youth and high daring
and heroic martyrdom, was a rare
treat to all present.
The program concluded with the
beautiful song, "The Wanderer,
sung by Mrs. Barnhart and as its
sweet strains died away, hearty
applause voiced the appreciation
of the club.

SNAKE RIVER BRIDGES
Are a Nee ss; Us Ill We Bod
to Build T., m?

Twelve years ago it cost dol
lar and a half to drive over the
Snake river bridge and back, and
If we had asked the farmers over
there to raise beets to deliver to
deliver to the factory at CONNER
cial prices they could not have
considered the matter at all for
want of transportation facilities.
The county bought the toll bridge
and made it free. The country
has settled up till now the free
bridge could not accommodate the
carrying of produce across from
the westslde. Every train from
the Mackay branch brings in
thousands of dollars worth of
beets that could not have been
produced but for cheap transpor-
tation. At the points where the
commissioners are asking for au
tho'ity to build bridge, the con
dition. prevails which we witnessed
at Blackfoot before the opening of
the toll bridge, only there is no
way to get over even by paying
the toll. The great plains lie
waiting, ready to produce fruit
and vegetables by trainloads, but
they will never do it till there is
way to get them to the market,
and until there are avenues for
travel homeseekers of the best
class will pass on and look for other
places to engage in farm produc-
ton.
Will anybody vote against
building bridges over the great
river that separates the factors
that are going to make Bingham
county great! In all the councils
of of our men of enterprise, men
who are empire builders, we hear
the expression, "We lack trans,
portation facilities" 1t is heard
in north Idaho, south Idaho, CEN
trail Idaho, and in the "Mormon
counties. In all the busy marts
or trade, the world over, means of
transportation have preceded pro,
ductlon and commerce or it has
remained weak or crippled. There
has been but one reason offered
yet for not voting the bonds to
build bridges over the Snake, and
that is one that will hardly bear
analysis on the part of the one
protesting. He says it will raise
the taxes. Suppose it does. The
country without business can pay
no taxes; the community with
brisk business finds that taxes take
care of themselves as result of
business. The arid lands where
nobody lives, pays no taxes for
the support Of the county govern
ment. Build bridges, settle up
the lands, gather in trainloads Of
produce, and the heavier taxes are
scarcely noticed. But by making
a bonded Indebtedness to be paid
at future dates after the country is
more thickly settled, and when
more crops are produced and
there is more property to be taxed
it is a question whether the pres,
ent residents of the county could
discover any additional burden in
the payment of the bonds with
the accrued interest.
