following named persons to represent
their respective districts In handling
the work Of the next week.

Some the persons named were placed
on the list without consulting them,
because of their fitness for the work to
be done
1t is the purpose to have them plan
for the time and place of the meeting,
the subjects to be treated, to find the
persons to present subjects, to bill their

wrong to allow envy or ambition to keer
you from bringing all your powers to the
part assigned you. If you are convinced
that certain changes would improve the
choir as a whole, you may ask that such
changes be made for the improvement OF
the choir, but not for personal agrand-
izement. If your request is not granted
you have no right to become an OBJ
struction to the accomplishment of the
ends in view.' He said lot more, but
this impressed me as being pretty hard
lines, and likely to secure success if
members of choir put it into practice. :"
'"1t is hard to sing when you are pro-
voked. Do you know that?"
"That S why you have to sink your
own individuality clear out of the case.
After doing that your feelings do not
rise"
81 We noticed choirs where the mem.
bers were so loyal to self that if one
made mistake or slip, some of the
others would show by look or move
that they noticed it, and in that way
call the attention of the audience to it,
besides embarrassing the singer"
"Yes, and then he or she would make
other MISTAKES"
"People who furnish music for public
meetings at Blackfoot do not receive the
recognition and courtesies which are due
them, anyhow. They are expected to
buy their own music, out of their own
pockets, and meet and drill for every
thing, and after all, the only reward they
get is to have to sit up in the front
where people can stare at them and
where the singers can only see the
speaker back while he talks"
That S right; We seen folks furnish
music at reception and then have to
eat at the second table,

A Fine Number

The Holiday number of the Salt Lake
Tribune was grand piece of work. 1t
contained reviews of everything "from
Dan to Beersheba," and the Tribune
company is deserving of great credit for
the work. Clarence Eddy, the Idaho
prospector and poet entered the contest
of writing anthems on Utah, and on be
ing informed that his production did
not command prize, he wrote poem
entitled, "Nil Desperandum" in which he
brought out the idea that not all who
fail to reach the goal are to be counted
of little value, and in the rather lengthy
poem he proves his point with a master
hand. The Tribune published the poem
along with the prize anthems.

McEwen Works Wonders.

Prof. McEwan, who will play one
nights engagement, Friday, January 5th
at Houck's Opera House, has the happy
faculty of getting in touch with his aud
ience in less than a minute after the
curtain goes up. He begins his work
generally with a simple trick or two in
palming which he explains. From this
he takes his audience swiftly into the
realms of the mysterious and bewilder-
ing. He palms live birds, making them
appear and vanish like spirits Of the air,
and then to show how quick and skillful
the human hand may become, he, with
his left hand juggles four billiard balls,
showing them to you between each of his
fingers. These he makes appear at
will, scarcely moving his hand and
keeping his arm all the time extended in
plain sight. AS coin and card manip.
ulator he stands without an equal, and
this may also be said of him as hypno-
tist. In this art he has achieved a
world wide reputation, and only by see
ing his work can one get an idea of it.
Trying to describe it is like trying to tell
of the hilarity of a Champagne supper
when the wine has died. See him once
and you will surely see him again. You
laugh, you roar, at the great McEwen.
There is no funnier show on the road.

"Well, you know musicians are sens

be musicians, and"
"Niggers are not sensitave, and they
just bubble over with music"
"Well, yes, but they are born SO. But
anybody that learns technical music
must be impressionable-must have fine

taught much technical music. They
only exercise the melody that S born in
them"
"What S that to do with the choir?"
Why, they have trouble getting along
with each other. A. dosen't like B. and
his ways, and Mrs. C. says she can't sing
if Mrs. D. is next to her. r. tells the
minister ION the quiet that he can't
carry his part if F. is standing where he
can see him, because it makes him ner-

not sing if Miss H. is in the choir, and
Miss H. says she will just stay out ex-

Pacific Street Opens

Monday night, at about 10 o'clock, hall
of the population of Blackfoot was seized
with desire to open Pacific street. II
was to have been officially opened on the
following morning, but blaze, bursting
from about the fue of "The Best" was
seen by Trux (Mr. Talbot, who gave the
alarm.
The engineer of freight train in the
yards, footed Justify and A. L. Fowler
fred volley from his gun at the door Of
the post office.
Miss Ellen Glenn, at the central tele-
phone station, got busy on the wires, and
soon the buildings were being emptied
and the street filled.
Much of the stock was carried out of
"The Best" and from the Butte saloon
and the Reliable Clothing House, but
Creswell T. Hill lost all the fixtures in
the Pacific Meat Market, amounting to
about $500.
A hose was attached to the hydrant in
the rear of the Idaho House, and, while
the fire was destroying two buildings,
the next two were nearly torn down.
Preparations were mere made for a
final stand at the windows of The Turf
Exchange and the Idaho House. The
snow on the roofs was great protection
and the vigorous fight made with hose
and buckets conquered the flames sooner
than the most hopeful expected. Had
there been a good ire fighting equip
ment, it would have saved nearly a
thousand dollars worth Of property fof
Crswell & Hill, and as much more for
others.
One feature of the occasion was, that
with all the noise made in spreading
che alarm, scarcely anybody announced
that there was fire. People looked out
of their homes and listened for the word
fire." and, not hearing it, they thought
it some kind of a celebration, or the
passing of trains Men who were notified
by phone that there was fire, hurried
up town, running along quietly, as if
they were going for doctor or we're bent
on robbing hen roost. People would
do we'll to remember that half the battle
on these occasions is in spreading the
alarm, and that nothing secures quick
response like man running and bawling
'firev'
Grabbing few buckets is good thing
to do before you start, and using them is
another important thing.
The thanks of the town are due to
those who worked so hard to stop the
flames, rather than to the rugged fellows
who did as much strong looking on.
