Historical Notes
Vote on the Constitution.

The statement and tables given below appeared
in the Idaho Recorder published at Salmon City, on
Thursday November A. 1889. Idaho, then terri
tory was asking for admttance to the Union as a
State, and vote had just been taken at the fall
election of that year on the proposed Constitution
for the new State. The Constitution carried by
big majority and there great rejoicing in all
the counties The Recorder evinced its delight at
the result by heading the column devoted to the
subject with the picture of rooster in a wild state
of exuberence; the words and figures aside from
this appearing follows:
HURRAH FOR THE CONSTITUTION!
How Our plymouth Rock Rooster" Crows

$500 majority for the Constitution, making total
of 1859 for and 800 against Total vote 1883.
When taken in comparison with the vote at the
last election, which ran over $4,000, the growth OF
Idaho in eighteen years can be fairly estimated

The general cry of high prices, while it may be
reasonable complaint, brings to the minds of those
who have passed the half-century mark in this part
of the country a remembrance of the times when
the cost of the necessities of life was quite consd
erably greater than now. A perusal of the list
which is printed below and which CLEANED from
the Statesman of 1883, will decidedly rosy glow
on the present situation.

Opera House Notes.

Peaceful Valley" Monday
night by Albert Taylor Co. was
a performance far above the ay-
erage for Canyon City. 1t was
good and worth the money, so
say all to whom The News re-
porter has talked.
A Poor Relation Tuesday
night by the same company,
while fairly good, was not up to
the standard of Monday nights
work. 1t was overdone in part;
the Irish character had absolute
ly none of the shamrock sign
about him and the play dragged
generally. There was Il plenty
to laugh about, however, and the
audience enjoyed it.
The only criticism The News
will offer on Albert Taylor is,
that in A Poor Relation his ag-
onizingparts seem ratherlengthy.
He is a born actor.
AS previously stated both plays
were good and if Thomas Bros.
will only bring future ones up to
this standard it will be no trouble
to get and hold good houses.

In Society's Realm.

Perhaps the most fun provok-
ing social event of the season,
thus far, was the Taclly Party
of last Friday evening at the
office of Keiser Bros. &. Phillips.
So rapidly did the visitors ar
rive that by 4o'clock the spacious
apartments were filed, by the
most grotesque LOOKING figures
seldom seen outside the come
dian circle.
The ladies were respondent in
their own creations of fancy mil
linery and be-ribboned gowns, in
truth so much originality was
displayed that it was often hard
to recognize the friend of yester-
day.
The makeup of the gentlemen
was-gorgeous. There wer e
suits that suggested the seer
sucker" tendency, hats that
showed tufts of hair turned out
to sunshine, and a few dear little
ones that resembled grandmoth-
er's butter bowl-minus the
cover, which was a hen-and
hosiery of the brightest hues.
Everybody seemed to fall into
the spirit of the occasion, formal
ity had been left on the doorstep,
and compliments became quite
personal, Snap, dropthe hand
kerchief, stiff-Starch" etc, were
games INDUCED in to the amuse-
ment of all present.
Several of the young men will
add another ribbon badge, in the
future, to their already abund
ant supply of brilliant ones-that
of the new secret order OF
Hawks. Three degrees were
administered, Miss Hawkins act
ing master of ceremonies, and all
the boys showed courage and
Willingness, until it came Ear
Munger turn and he tainted
outright at the administration OF
first degree earl is very young
yeti, but when he revived he felt
so ashamed to be caught mapping
by the other boys, that he insist
ed on receiving the other two
and bore them like a hero.
About II O'Clock some one gave
the welcome announcement OF
time for luncheon. In an in
slant almost, there appeared
baskets, boxes, paper sacks and
tin pals, of various shapes anc
sizes, probably the most commo
dious being carried by Dr.. Ing
ham and wife, ia 5-gal. oil can,
but all containing enough fol
two" Many revealed surprises
when opened, but down at the
bottom there were some rea
goodies too.
Soon after lunch followed the
awarding of prizes to the tack
lest of the tacky,' and truly the
five judges selected for the un
dertaking had the sympathy OF
many, there were so many
worthy subjects to choose from
However, it was finally decided
