The girls have been under the
careful training of Miss Laura

weeks and we are confident that
this will be one Of the most
polished as we'll as the most
pleasing plays that hasever been
put on by a local company.
The mere fact that there isn't
a man in it, just simply girls
sweet, blushing, blooming, low
able, adorable girls, and all our

say that every man and boy, be
they married, single, old, young,
blind, deaf, lame, halt or deform-

YOSEMITE RAILROAD.
The Branch Line to be Finish
ed and in Operation by
March 1, 1907.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE


The Southern Pacific an
nounces that new service to the
Yosemite Valley in connection
with the Yosemite Valley Rail
road company, will begin about
March first next.
The eighty mile stage ride will
be done away with. The new road
extends from Merced Falls to
the boundary of Yosemite Ma
tional Park, twelve miles from
the center of the valley. Thence
over a turnpike, either an auto
mobile or stage line will convey
passengers quickly to the hotels.
Fifteen hundred men are now at
work and the last rail will be
laid by February 18th next.
The new railway up the Mere
ed River Canyon is one of the
scenic lines of the world. From
Merced Falls to the Park Line is
a continuous panorama of mag
nihcent canyon and river seem
cry. From San Francisco to the
heart of the valley will be
Journey of not more than ten
hours via the Southern Pacific,
the Yosemite Valley Road line
and the new turnpike company.
Frank A. Miller, proprietor of
the Glenwood Hotel, Riverside,
has secured from the Department
of the Interior the exclusive priv
ilege of building and operating
hotels in the valley, and will ex-
pend three million dollars in the
work. The hotels are to be of
stone and to be built to conform
in interior and exterior furnish
ings to the surroundings. Plans
are now being made and in the
main will conform to the great
stone castles of Europe in design;
study of which is now being
made for that purpose. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has taken
strong personal interest in the
matter and expressed his ap-
proval of the project. The idea
of the new hotels has been ap-
proved to the Interior Depart.
ment by DR.. David Starr Jordon,
DR.. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, DR..
Albert Shaw, Jacob Riis and
others who know the valley.
The round trip fare from Mere
ed to be floor of the valley will
not exceed $3.50.
The Yosemite Valley railway
is a standard gauge modern
road of seventy pound steel rails,
and steel bridges and will be
rock ballasted and dustless. 1t
not only makes the valley acces-
sible but will open a rich mining
and lumber district. Its length
is eighty miles. It's two story
Office building and depot at
Merced, as well as round house,
shops and terminals are almost
finished.
The new hotels will not be
ready for next seasons business,
but Mr.. Miller has under consi-
deration plans for temporary
structures to care for the trave-
Ter comfortably.
The Southern Pacific is advis-
ing all rail ways in this country
and Europe of the route to the
Yosemite.

HON. JAS. Il. BRADY.

James H. Brady, to whom more
than any other man belongs the
honor of the glorious victory.
1t was he who began by a noble
sacrifice. that of yielding up his
own sane and worthy ambitions
to become q, S. senator, and
and who set to work with all
the energy of his soul to accom-.
plish the result that has now
been achieved. From start to
tnlsh he was the most energetic
and the most asslduous laborer
in the field, and he, more than
any other man, knows how fierce
the struggle.
One feature that seemed al
most unfortunate, and yet which
made the struggle the more
moral and worthy was the fact
that the chairman was much
hampered for funds. It is said
that many years have passed
SINCE Idaho Republicans waged
campaign with as little funds
as were available during the re-
cent struggle. This makes the
honor to Mr.. Brady all the
greater. He deserves and is re-
ceiving the hearty congratula-
tions of the people of the state.
To those who have not met
Mr.. Brady personally, perhaps
the following pen picture taken
from the Portland Oregonian
will be interesting:
There is a great deal of the
man of affairs about Mr.. Brady.
He is first a politician. Next
he is a good, shrewd business
man. Being a shrewd busine
man, MIR. Brady hasn't ma
politics pay him in dollars a,
cents. He is not large ma
yet his size is impressive. f
face is round and horid and the
is plenty Of head above the ea
and the head is adorned wi
hair that is almost read. The
is something about the face, Il
shape OF the head and the cold
OF the hair that reminds one
Francis ]. Heney. His eyes a
the same color and have tt
same way of looking at, ar
clear through you. He is a ma
that one can put ones hand d
at any time. You know whe1
he is at all times.
lust now Mr.. Brady is one q
the biggest men, politically, j
the state OF Idaho. Since he hal
made Idaho his home he ha
been pretty well thought of as
politician; as one who when ii
gives a promise sticks to i'll
There are few such men in th y
