TWENTY GIRLS RACED
TO KISS TOM DUNN

Tho girl who reaches my arms first
and kisses me gets tho five dollar prize
said cx-sheriff Tom Dunn to an admriny
group at a May party in Central Park,
Y yesterday afternoon. He was laying down
the rules for a frec-for-all running race
Of the young women Sunday school teacll-.
E crs Of st. GATHERINGS Church, on Sixty
ninth street. He had already distributed
a large amount In prizes, and he outshonc
the May Queen as the centre Of attraction.
Now he is enslrlned In the hearts Of
the entire fair sen OF the Twenty-siXth
Assembly District Of which lie is the
Democratic leader. When he added 10
the monetary prize in this event the prl-
vilege OF jumping into his arms, thee
was flutter among the maidcns on the
green Twenty girls entered the contest,
and twenty pairs Of eyes were fixed on
the goal, Dunn standing with outstrctchcd
arms at the finish line
AS the fair rivals came down the home!
stretch he was pleased TO see that Miss
Lillian Marion Norris was holding the
lead. She Is young and pretty. Miss Norris
lives at No. 1919 First avenue, and ac-
knowledges to eighteen years. Spectators
sayEthat Dunn, in his eagerness, stepped
over the line. At any IA te the girl threw
herself into his arms with such force that
both were thrown off their balance
Instead of Dunn imprinting u kiss on her
upturned cherry lips, his head and hers
met with q terrific bump 5s
The net result of the collision was the
loosening of one of Dunn's teeth and a
cut on Miss Norris's forehead. However,
Tom" CALAMITY hung on to the girl to
prevent her falling. When he had assured
himself that all his front teeth had not
been knocked down his throat he gave
her the promised kiss and the gold piece.

There has just been dedicated in

l.. H. Severance of CLEVELAND. O.. and
which is 10 be known as the Severance
Memorial hospital. It is TO be con-

which has q number of medical mis-
SionarieS stationed in the Korean city.
The building was erected III the face of
many difficulties, as it is extremely
hard to build an American structure
with Oriental laboreTS, whose ideals and
habits are so totally different from
ours. An instance of this is found in
the fact that all the plumbing in the
building had to be replaced personally
by DR.. Q. r. Avison and one of the
other workers of the mission. In most
respects the new building follows the
Zines of modern hospital construction,
and it is a credit alike to the Presbyte-
rian missionaries who carried out its
details and TO Mr.. Severance whose
benevolence made the building possible.
AL interesting fact in connection with
this Korean hospital is that its corner
stone was laid year ago last Thanks
giving day by the Hon H N Allen,
now minister TO Korea, but the one
who. as a Presbyterian missionary, laid
the foundations Of the medical work OF

One of the modern miracles is Gil :

after cigarettes, which he imports from
Egypt by the hundred thousand. In
smoking these he does not inhale INTO the

a delicate little silver arrangement like

grades in Beaver canyon, and the ex-
pense of keeping helper engines there
The proposed new line would pass, as
most of il does today, through a rich
and thickly populated country, where
as, the main line from Idaho Falls
north enjoys no such advantages. One
OF the main daily passenger trains that
formerly went north 10 Butte has been
changed and now runs from Salt Lake
up this branch line to the terminus. If
the main line is changed so as to run
10 Butte via the Yellowstone national
park, then the branch proposed to be
built from Rigby northwest will doubt
less connect with the old line at or
near Market Lake, and be operated as
a branch. with the junction at Rigby,
thus taking care of what business there
Is at Spencer, Camas, Market Lake and
Dubois, and also handle the beet bust
ness above referred to. Thus. together
with the advent of a through east and
west line, the railroad map of upper
Snake river valley is destined to be
changed considerably within the next
few years, all to the country's better
ment and growth.
This valley now possesses three or
the largest sugar factories erected in
the inter-mOuntain country, which are
in successful operation. This is the
initial year with the factories at Sugar
ny anu ApAuNhAOON, DOlu u winch are
making good records Idaho, so far as
her sugar-making history goes, has far
exceeded Utah. The soil of this valley
Is free from all1ali, and is of a rich.
sandy loan, well adapted to the grow
ing OF sugar beets. In most cases the
percentage Of saccharine matter is the
highest obtained in the United States.
Another noticeable feature is, the beets
do not lose this quality when large
The sugar companies take all kinds of
beetS, large and small.
Idaho certainly has cause at this the
commencement Of a new year for con-
gratulations- She ranks in richness
with any of her sister states. and sur
passes some of them. Her people are
rapidly increasing and are becoming
possessed of all the comforts and ne
cessities of modern civilization. They
are a homogeneous lot dwell content
eddy together, and are peaceful, pros
porous and happy. Under the most
suspicious conditions they bid the New
Year welcome, and hope il viii be
equally as generous with them as the
past has been.

the new year dawns with only the
brightest prospects for the young state.
The greatest impetus given the state

covering approximately 12S.OOO acres of

canals. of a total length OF 1,061 miles,

Big Horn county, as in the year 1903,
witnessed the greatest development
through irrigation. and the population
of that section of the state is increasing
at a rapid rate. All sections of the
