Of the best comedies seen here this seas
on. Il is one of those that abound in
absurd situations, designed to excite as
much laughter to the minute as possible,
Stephen Fitzpatrick, who portrays the
character Of lgnatius Foxglove, in "a
Husband on Salary" is a comedian of
more than usual ability and won the
large audience at once. He certainly
made hit and installed himself favor
ite Mr.. Fitzpatrick is supported by an
excellent company and we predict large

A Faithful Dogs Intuition.

Speaking of dogs the other day
brought forth the following narrative
A gentleman and his family owned q
bright and very atfectionate fox terrier
called Ted, whose time was passed al
most entirely with their only son clever
boy of twelve years, One day sad
, event happened; The boy with his com
panions went on fishing trip, and was
drowned, and poor Ted whose devotion
to him Wes SO great seemed almost
broken hearted, but soon turned all his
attention to Mrs. Berry, the boys mother
who was prostrated by the shock of her
sons death, and in a few weeks died and
was buried beside him. This was a
cruel blow to Mr.. Berry who would not
be consoled, and his friends feared that
his double loss would he more than he
could stand, and that he would in all
probability follow his loved ones. Poor
Ted in the meantime, made daily trips
to the graves of his departed friends,
and would come back looking very de
jected until he found himself in the
presence of his master when he would
bark and frisk about as il in an effort to
cheer him. One day Mr.. Berry was
feeling more dcspondent than usual.
When Ted returned from one of his long
vigils to the cemetery he at once sought
his master and tried in every way pos,
sible to attract his attention, this time
with something in his mouth, which
proved to be contract of marriage
Wondering what it could mean Mr.. Ber-
ry read it through and found it to be
play at the Opera House that night,
and determined to 90 and see it, which
he did, and laughed so heartily at "a
Husband on Salary" that his health
was greatly improved. Whether the
faithful dog knew the great good he was
doing his master is left to the reader to
surmise. "A Husband on Salary" is the
offering of the Armory Saturday May II.

tains, constituting the best summer
range. Flocks that are denied permits
to Craze there will have to get out. We
have $3.50 head, and only part of our
flocks will be admitted. A large per-
centage OF the sheep which have been
summering on the range have scattered
out over Bingham county to winter and
are heavy consumers. We estimate that
the reduced number of sheep that feed
in the county next winter, by reason of
these changes, will reduce the sales of
of hay and other farm products in this
county not less than $4,000.
OF course, the purpose of these new
regulations is to protect various interests
rgainst the unfair encroachments of
another, and sheep men, as rule, have
been aggressive and troublesome to
farmers and other stoclxmen. The ques-
ton is now raised as to whether the re-
strictions placed upon sheep will not
injure the industry to such an extent
that it will injure others indirectly. Of
course, that is not for me to say, but
feel the loss keenly. The forest reserves
have come to stay, and they bring new
economic conditions which people have
to meet and adjust themselves to.

Editors Meet

Next Monday the newspaper men of
eastern Idaho will meet at Pocatello to
organize a press association. The press
boys and people of the Gate City have
announced their intention of showing
, the delegates good time while there.
1t is likely they will be allowed ia at
tend to business matters first and be
"shown" after agree on how cam
paigh should be conducted to have it
clean from the press standpoint: how
best to promote the work Of the Irrlga-
tion Congress; how to give the public
the greatest amount Of news without
swampng the office: whether to nea sure
legal notices by BREWER type or minion,
and lot of other details. Personally,
we don't care how soon they tag US for
home after the business sessions are
closed, but if there are any goats to ride,
or loops to loop, or whoops to whoop, we
will stay and try all the stunts. People
should never deliberately miss a good
thing.
