other things this interesting bit
Of history
The almost unequalled advan-

estimated by the following: One

less than eight years ago with
scarcely enough means to pay
his transportation, but he saw
the opportunity offered to enter
prise and industry; he rented a
low rooted log house and began
life on the ground floor and to-
day that man can count his
wealth by the thousands; houses,
lands and money of his own in
abundance, with a vast field of
possibilities inviting him on to
boundless prosperity. And this
is only one circumstance in many
that might be cited of a similar
nature. All testifying of the in

The Schools Again.

We call attention to the splen-
did article in these columns from
the pen Of J. A. White of Twin
Falls. 1t is worthy the careful

guently has the opposite effect,
but when it comes to the educa-
tional conditions of our county
it seems to us that we are hardly
worth praisiag Perhaps we
think we are doing fairly well,
but we certainly are not doing
well enough, Our school-build-
ings, our apparatus, our teachers
in many instances are not up to
date. Our school terms are al
together too short in many dis
tricts, and our students are, as a
general rule, four years short of
where they should be.
Cassia Stake, Academy has a
large class of bright intelligent
young men and women-stud-
ents of such calibre as should-if
they had proper advantages
would now be doing college in
stead of high school work. Four
teen to eighteen are the high
school years. The high school
students here range from 16 to
%. An average age of those do
ing first and second year high
school, we are confident, would
be at least Is years. That these
young people are backward isno
fault of their own. They have
not been put in graded schools
and kept there in the time and
season thereof. We hope the
conditions will be remedied. We
invite also such correspondence
as that Of today-not only on
matters educational, but on ALI
matters that pertain to the de-
velopment of Cassia and the

Interesting Communication on
School Matter.

TWIN FALLS, Oct. 13, 'O5
MIR. A. M. MERRILL,
Editor OAKLEY EAGLE.
DEAR SIR:-I have just finished
reading the article in your paper
of the fifth instant, from County
Superintendent Charles II. Lowe,
anent the condition of the
schools in our county; together
with your article,-"A Crying
Need"
AS a teacher, and a citizen, in
terested in the Improvement of
the educational conditions in
our county, want to say that,
in the main, / approve what you
and Mr. Lowe have to say on
this subject, and sincerely hope
that the agitation for better
schools will continue until Cas-
sia county will be in a
position to boast of a school
system second to none in the
Great New~West."
Superintendent Lowe, in his
letter, states there are two vital
problems to be considered before
attempts to remedy other de-
tects are a e IN p tie d. viz:

lily agree with the superintend-
ent that the two problems men
toned are, perhaps, the most
important, However. | would
change the order, and put first:
Getting the Children in School. "
This; in my opinion, is the egreat-
est problem school officials of
our county have to deal with.
The absolute Indifference of some
parents to school matters is as
appalling as it is incredible. In
deed, there are still those in our
county who even 60 SO far as to
oppose school entirely,-contriv-
ing all kinds of excuses for keep

country" Every S0-acre tract
of land under this irrigating sys-

take on a larger and more per-
manent growth in the next 10
years than any ocher locality Of

Finally, let us build good

New Haven Theater.'

The world famous Pays made their first appearance in New Haven last night and the New Haven theater was tested to it's seating capacity and many were conent to stand through the in- teresting performance. Ask the Pays" is a phrase that is on everyone's mouth. But we should say first See the Pays first and then ask them af- terwards" for all that can be written or said about Mir. and Mrs. Fay can give but a faint idea Of their extraor- dinary entertainment and wonderful gifts. In the first part of the entertain ment Mrs. Fay has her hands and arms secured in such manner and to the satisfaction of two gentlemen selected from the audience, that it seems utter ly impossible for her to make use of the same, yet by some wonderful meth cd she, while enclosed in cabinet, plays musical instruments, empties a glass of water and firmly nails a piece of wood to a chair. Crisis slowly ele- yated from a lounge in full light and view of the audience is one of the most wonderful and mysterious acts ever performed, and must be seen to be appreciated. Those who have an in
 clination or 8 hankering after the mys- terious should see Mrs Fay in her marvellous work of thaumaturgy. Her attempt last night in giving the names of those in the audience who had writ ten questions for her to answer and her almost invariably correct and won- derful explanations were a mystery to all. Mrs. Fay's power in reading the queries and giving the correct answers is truly marvellous. The company is assisted by Scottish trio, who sing Scotch songs and give an artistic exhi- bition of the highland flight and that most difficult of all dances, the sword dance. The imperial Japanese troupe of acrobats made quite a hit with their clever acts especially that where one of the artists successfully climbs a rope which reaches from the stage to the gallery After ascending he makes a wonderful and exciting decent by sliding downward until he reaches the stage where he, is caught by attend- ants. Phil Starts, the man who talks in an off-hand way, keeping the au- dience in roars Of laughter by his witty sayings and his clever manipulation of the piano. The Fays will be at the New Haven theater all this week with special matinees on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. These matinees will be for ladies only, and these performances will be the only opportunity ladies will have of meeting Mrs. Fay and asking her any que5tions they may desire, as Mrs. Fay will not under any circum> stances grant private interview at her hotel. Everyone should see the Fays and their company, and seats should be secured in advance in order to pre- vent disappointment.

 Recognizing this fact, Rev. MT.

 A little book describing the causes and cure of piles is published by Pyra- mid Drug Co.,. Marshall. Mich. and will be sent free for the asking. All suffer- CTS are advised to write for it, as it contains valuable information on the subject of piles.

It often follows that the dramatiza- ton of a book which has been read with widespread interest and to the de- light of thousands calls for the intro- diction os so much that is foreign to the original that the story as portrayed on the stage is distorted and while ac- eeptable to a. degree does not carry with it that something which renders it edifying and makes it attractive Such is not so with Quincy Adams Sawyer, D as dramatized from the famous book written by Charles Felton Pidgin and presented at the Hyperion last night as the opening performance of a week S engagement. Those who have read the book will readily recognize each. and every character as they appear and there is a marvellous mastery of de- tails. The book is in itself decidedly in- teresting and unique. Dealing as it does with Mason's Corner folk, suppos- ed to be residents of the small town of Peterborough, near Boston, there is abundant opportunity for the introduce ton of the truly rural character and the result is exceptional. Justin Adams, the dramatist, deserves great commen- dation for his successful efforts.
 The company presenting this play at the Hyperion this week is one fully as excellent as the work of the dramatist and thus. it cannot be gainsaid that the production is a success. Every appoin- ment is perfect in detail and hence Quincy Adams Sawyer as offered, cannot but fail to be acceptable to every large audience which is prom ised.
