Funny Christmas Gift

r. s. Sheridan, editor Of the Evening
Capital News Of Boise, had Christmas
gift that may not look bright to him, but
will seem funny to the friends of Gov
ernor Gooding who have observed how
the Capital News has scored the Gov
ernor for everything that was bad or
worse. Always accusing him of extrav-
agence or dishonesty or both, the News
was permitted to 60 thru the campaign
unmolested, and on Christmas Eve, the
editor and alleged maligner was arrested
on the charge of criminal libel, the com
plant being based on one of his mild
expressions as to corruption and graft
made July 8, 1906. Mr.. Sheridan was
permitted to go on his own reconizance
and the trial was set for yesterday.

III :er on Loon Creek

SometH new in mining in this
country a|the present day is proposed
by the Ldn Greek Placer & Hydraulic
company ich was formed in Salt Lake
last week The company owns $40 acres
Of placer said by expert mining men
who have ex amined, it to be rich in
gold. d property is on Loon creek,
five mllfsouth of the Lost Packer
mine in laho. It takes in an old
creek 600 feet wide and two and a
half % llong, which no doubt would
have IN worked out long ago but for
the lsulty Of securing water from
Loon creek, which by building 260O feet
of flume can be carried to the placer
ground, with fall of 200 feet. 1t is the
intention to put in two six-inch gates
and begin working the gravel "for all
there is in il"
That this is considerable, is indicated
by the showing of nuggets, many of
them worth as high as $500 each which
were brot from the property by Paul
Kimball. miner at the Lost Packer,
who conceived the idea of working the
ground by the hydraulic system and
who promoted the company. 1t is said
that conservative estimates place the
panning value of the entire tract at not
less than 25 cents yard for a consider
able depth, and with modern methods
this would mean great fortune.
AT a point only short distance above
this ground where water was at hand,
lit is claimed that ss,ooo,O0o was taken
- placer diggings in the years of
+ IA 1870, when Ogden was the
ii railroad point. 1t is believed
his record can be equaled if not
led IN this company's ground.
J officl Yrs of the new company are
K JUDI z, president; John Boyle, Of
lost Pal ker mine, vice president
ev Badl yer, of the Mccormick bank
tary and treasurer; these with w
bpers Of the Newhouse staff, and

THE MAGAZINES

The December Political Science Quar-
terIy.-In striking article entitled 1.-The
Russian Peasant and Autocracy," pub
lished in the December number of the
Political Science Quarterly, Professor
V. G. Simkhovitch shows on the basis
of Russian governmental reports, tina
the Russian peasants, since their nominal
emancipation, have been SO exploited by
their former lords and so heavily taxed
by the government that they lack the
necessary means of subsistence, are per-
manently in a condition of semi-starva-
ton, and are physically rdegenerati ting. In
other articles in'"the same journal, Pro-
fessor e. T. Devine, who went to San
Francisco as the representative of the
Red Cross society," and was made chair
man. of the relief commission, discusses
''The Housing Problem in that city.
II. M. Bowman in an article; entitled

compare with the joy of the rescuers
in taking part in such an action. There
is wonderful sentiment among men
toward conserving human life. If SYM
pathy and assistance could do it, all
men would live forever. The wreck
ing of a physical man excites all the
energies of men to combat the de-
stroyer. How else shall we account for
the way physicians wear themselves
out over their patients? But it is only
the physical side of man that help
can reach. Who can reach the real
man? Physically Hicks has been res
cued. But Che real Hicks, the essential
Hicks, was not in any danger from the
rocks. The rescuers could not reach the
real Hicks. But the real Hicks can
reach himself. He is like a man who
has been born with all his faculties de-
vefoped, with memory at work, with
moral attributes and with the full
knowledge of right and wrong existent
in himself. Hicks best way to set 'em
up will be to so conduct himself that
none Of the rescuers will ever have oc-
caslon to think they made a mistake
in contributing fifteen days to the Job
OF giving birth to Hicks.

: PERSONALLY CONDUCTED ExcUR-
P5lON INTO THE REALMS OF
PURE FANCY.-Zona Gales Romance
IsIand~Vis sublimated romance; romance
Of the kind in which love, of course,
triumphs, and in, which the dreams that
artists and scientists and other lists have
dreamed Of fer centuries are realized; ro-
nance Of the kind in which the author
makes her own conditions, taking advan-
tage of yet unmade discoveries or stick
ing to the hard and fast rules Of old
nature as we know her; romance that
is the more mysterious and exciting for
it's strangeness.
A strange attack on a. wealthy young
woman of New York by mysterious
woman sets the whole newspaper world
to guessing, and as a result a former
reporter who has ACQUIRED a fortune and
yet who yearns for the old life under
takes to unravel the mystery He be-
gins in New York and ends in, New
York by. the roundabout route of Ro-
nance Island. somewhere in the South
Atlantic; where, no one knows, for it is
hidden by it's inhabitants thru their
knowledge of the fourth dimension, and
can only be approached under the guild
ance Of a native. How the "hero' gets
there, how he rescues the 'heroine''
what he sees in the way of wonderful
advances of science ct cetera, and how he
gets away is the story
It is a well-told tale, one that will
tax neither the mind nor the credulity,
for it is palpably fancy almost from the
outset, but will rather prove a rest after
toll. 1t is an easy and delightful ex-
cursion as relief from toll of any sort.

+ orpheun1-Modern Vaudeville.

The Orpheum offers a greatly improved
and diversified bill this week. It is fully
up to the standard: expected by the pa
irons of the Seventh street playhouse in
novelty, merit and assembling. The OPEN
ing act of the Watson-Morrisey trio puts
the seatholders in good humor,. and the
acts following do not cause any lessen
ing of the appreciation. The trio has a
clever singing and dancing turn and the
wardrobe investiture," to steal one more
/ phrase from the press agent, is calculat-
ed to cause the worldweary to sit up and
look around-then look again.

the American stage, is again in Minneap-
OILS, Where it has always been favorite
Attic 1t is unfortunate it is nevertheless
true, that "Arizona," like many a favor
lite of the past, is losing it's grip and
must soon retire. TO prove this it is only
necessary to consider its reception at the
hands of last nights audience at the
Bijou. The thrilling climaxes failed to
arouse that hysterical applause that was
once SO gladly given. The applause was
thin and slow. At times the point was
missed entirely, and what was intended
seriously was taken as a joke
To one who will consider effort and
possibilities rather than results the pro-
duction now at the Bijou will hold some
Of the old charm in spite Of mediocre pre-
sentation. There are flashes of the real
that take q, firm grip and hold until they
pass. Several Of the present company

I ADJUSTMENTS
.Metropo'l1'ta Ezra Kendall IN "swelI,
y Elegant Zones" Il

az EIesant Jones"
II Ezra Kendall had a good play, and
could be prevailed upon to act his part
I In 1t along legitimate lines, there would
be some chance Of his winning solid sue
cess. The lack of a good play is his mis-
fortune; his; failure to make the most Of
MS opportunities in the poor plays he APP
pears in is his own fault. Swell Ele-
CANT Jones' of which Herbert Hall Wins
low is the artificer, Is about the worst of
the series Of bad ones with which Mr.
kendall has of late years been afflicted
Llt3is crude in conception, incongruous In
execution. Its comedy is forced and its
acLlOn 1nconsequent. It's chief redeem
Ing feature is the creation of some quaint
character types, which under happier
auspices might be worked out successful
~. THESE types are those of the small
village and, tho highly reminiscent Of
characters in Well-known plays of the
naturalistic school, they2possess attractive
and comic qualities. j., There are two sew
eral comedy incidents.tof original worth
But the play itself spells WEAKNESS with
a large w. s+St F5 b. ,ss,st Ia
4 The impression one gets after watch
Ing Mr. Kendall thru a. long evening is
that he has been spoiled by vaudeville
He is always and forever monologl1ing
NO moment.ls serious enough, no situa-
ton tense enough to WOO him away from
his lncessant pursuit of. the laugh. : He
will descend to any depths to bring, up
degrading pun. He will go miles af1eld
from his character to evoke laughter
from the unthinking, caring naught how
ne makes the judicious grieve. Every
line that falls :. to his share he worries
and fortunes, like. a; dog with "a bone, into
humoristic aspects. He As neither swell,
nor elegant, nor .Jones-he is simply and
always Ezra Kendall, .nonologuing to his
audience. The impossible tall hat, the
hesitant speech, the incessant chin-r,lb-
bling are, mannerisms that restrict his
somewhat narrow talent ror impersona-
ton, but when put to proper and 5legiti-
mate uses might contribute to- a natural,
loyable, laughable impersonation,r such as
SOL Smith Russell used to give us / If
Mr.. Kendall cannot bring himself to this
he should go back to vaudeville where his
talent for monolog insures him success
IN twenty minute stunts. 8: '.',<'
Among the. characterizations that sue
coed in spite of the play, may be men
toned William McKee's quaint old sutton
with a get-up and walk that are richly
comic, and the old maid, who "sees
things" played by Mae Wells. The
somewhat hackneyed. role of the darkey
porter is we'll played by George Neville.
caroline Eckert, who plays an altogether
impossible female detective, gives evil
dence that she might do we'll with a bet !
ter role. Most Of the aother players are
too much hampered by circumstances to
permit fair judgment Of their real capa-
bllltles. wv. B. Chamberlain.
