the Spot. = At nine O'CLOCK, Sep
tember 9th, men crossed the
boundaries of their future farms
with houses, and made settlement
according to their Interpretation
OF the law and then hurried to
Blackfoot to make entry. Being
refused on the ground that the
tracts had been taken, contests
were fled against S. M. Nixon
and A. H. Black. A question
has also been raised as to the
right ofa civil officer to order a
man out of line after he obtained
peaceable possession, and a dam
age suit may be filed BY the man
who got in position No. 10 while
the railing was being built.

Another Telegraph Line

The Postal Telegraph and Ca
BILE company organized BY john
W. Mackay, after whom the vii
lage Of Mackay was named, is
again in evidence with an enter
prise in Idaho. The company is
now establishing telegraph line
from Salt Lake to Butte and from
Salt Lake to Cheyenne. This is
the company that surprised the
world by laying the Pacific cable
in so short time, and is now ont
with the best of men and material
connecting the above named cities.
The work between Salt Lake and
Butte is in charge of two corps OF
men, one working from Butte to
Blackfoot, and the other from
Blackfoot to Salt Lake. The lat
ter is in charge of,C. M. Mackley,
who strings from ten to twelve
miles a day Of the pair Of wires
on which the Postal Telegraph
company will operate. They are
using the poles Of the Rocky

the two companies will use the
same poles and cross arms 70 sup

number nine copper wire. and its
projectors maintain that this will
render better service than can be
obtained from iron wire common

/ AT the Baptist church last Sum
day evening the text was Rom.
lilo, The gospel the power OF
| God unto salvation. The preach
ler claimed that salvation was
| bringing man back into his origi-
nal anu harmonious relation to
i God. s.Man's first nature was
all right, his second nature is sin
full. Christ taught that the man
born in sin must be born again to
get into right and saved relation,
to God: The Law prepared the
way for the gospel. The moral
| law is but transcript or outwrit-
ing Of previously existing natural
and moral relations of man. The
ten commandments are not arbl-
trary. They are the statement Of
mans relation to his God and to
his fellow man. Neglect, ignore
or Danish the Bible and they still
exist. Man must observe the
constituent principlessof his being
or take the consequences. The
speaker emphasized the thought
) that it does not matter whether an
individual recognizes the moral
law as his guide or not, he is
amendable to it anyway, and the
fact that he ignores the law or
I denies its existence does not make
: it imperative in his affairs. II
was Mr.. Remington's last sermon
to his congregation here, and he
!, addressed some advice to the
young people, beseeching them to
2 be careful about the formation OF
habits, the selection of literature
and their association in social
]. matters. Habits, he said, were
50 easily formed that they practl-
cally form themselves and may
7 be guided or not according to the
J will of the individual. That hab'
its Of industry and study Of gooc
2 literature are no more ditficul
than their reverse, and yield sat
isfaction that does not come Q
= the other. He admonished tn
: young men to leave ont card play
" ing from their amnsements, say
! ing that tile recreation and menta
2 discipline which Il affords bear
's no fitting comparison to the in
N jury which comes Of the habit.

The State fair will be from Oc-
tober 18th to 22nd, and will be
the week after the fair at Black
foot, enabling people who come
here from the east on the harvest
home excursion, to 60 to the state
fair after seeing what can be pro-
duced in Bingham county. Sec
retary f. H. Peasley has appoint
ed w. T. Harris Of Blackfoot su-
perintendent of the farm and gar
den exhibit from Bingham coun-
|ty, and requests him to collect
ahd place an exhibit at the state
fair. Ii the request is acted upon
Mr.. Harris will need some aid
from the citizens, for besides tax
ing considerable time il costs some
money to collect and crate produce
for shipment; then there are ex-
penses for transportation and for
placing the exhibits IN booths
when they arrive at Boise. Il
will cost the superintendent about
fifty dollars for personal expenses
for the trip to Boise to attend to
the exhibit. The railrood com
pany will carry y,the exhibit for the
regular freight rate, and will re-
fund the money on presentations
of a certificate from the secretary
of the fair showing that the goods
have actually been on exhibit.
Mr.. Harris attended the state fair
last fall, and thinks that if Ada
county is not allowed to compete
this year, as it possibly will not
be, Bingham county could carry
off some notable premiums in com
detition with other counties out
side of the one in which the capt
tai is situated. Idaho Is attract
ing d great deal Of attention At
the Worlds fair, and our state
fair will probably be seen by
many people from outside the
state, and Bingham county with
its great expansc Of agricultural
lands just coming under irrigation
should seize this opportunity to
display its products.

DAVID HARUM AT
THE OPERA HOUSE.

If there is anything the matter with
Grand Junction. and we know there
is not. "a glance at the splendid audi
ence at the Park opera house last night
which filed every down stairs seat and
goodly number in the balcony and
gallery all doubts would have been
dispelled. The play on the boards
was Edward Noyes great comedy drama
David Harum" dramatized.
Very generally those who keep up
with the late books have read David
Harum 1t is perhaps the best book
OF the past few years. of its kind. 1t
has a flavor peculiarly its own and
comes very near real life. as it is lived
in rural communities. OF course all
interest centres around David Harum,
the banker horse trader and latteriday
philo ;opher No PLAY is as good as
the original text found in a book, but
David was sufficiently life like in the
character last night to have each and
everyone of his commodities recog-
nized as part of the story.
The character of David Harum was
taken by II. W. Turner and splendidly
did he fulfill the demands of the part.
His was the quintessence of homely
philosophy and the story as he por-
trayed it, from the standpoint of Da-
vid Harum. taught many good morals.
OF course a large part of the play
hinged on the horse trade between
David and his friend Deacon Perkins.
The later part was taken by Walter
Pratt Lewis and in his features and
1 his manner was recognized the deacon
of the tale.
! Another impcrsonation which pleas
ed greatly was Aunt Polly Bixbee, by
Efie Germon. This was splendid
characrter and we'll defined in all it,
quaintness. -
Kathryn Morse was the Mary Blake
of the piece and she looked it and act
ed the part to the complete satisfao
tion of the audience. Miss Morse is
a tall and stately blonde and has {
winning grace which was good to lool
at. In passing too it may be remark
ed that her gowns. of which she had 1
liberal quantity. were handsome anC
fit to perfection and to the unregener'
ate were pleasing to the eye, especial
ly to the feminine portion of the
splendid audience.
