COLLEGE MINSTRELS PLEASE.

The Dolicocephalic troupe of Minis
trels from the State College at Pull
man delighted large audience at
the Keylor Grand with an excellent
performance last night. This troupe
would put to shame many professional
minstrels. Although many of their
witticisms were borrowed from Prim-
rose and other travelling companies,
they lost nothing in effectiveness by
the way they were used. Eugene
Logan made first class interlocutor
and as end men, Clarence Scott,
Henry Marcek, John Mckenzie and
Kirk Dysart are hard to beat. No
stranger dropping into the theater
would have suspected that he was not
listening to professionals. Among
the song hits were my Bamboo
Queen, " 81 Rather be Outside Alook-
in in than Inside Alookin' Out, " "a
May Morning, eff Not, Why Not?"
She Rests by the Suwanee, " Glow
in Time" "Down in the Deep Let
Me Sleep When Die, "Let Me
Down Easy" you're a Grand Old
Flag"
In the second part of the perform
ance some tumbling that would have
done credit to trained acrobats in a
circus was given.
The Pullman boys are jolly bunch
and if they ever show here again they
will be assured of big crowd. -Walla

INVESTIGATED TWIN FALLS
PROJECT

For the past two weeks Professor
Waller has been investigating the
Twin Falls canal project. He was
the choice of the settlers in represent
ing their interests in making the final
examination for the canal system.
On his return early in the week he
had the following to say regarding the
efficiency of the Ework done and the
bright prospects of the settlers along
the canal.
Investigation shows that so far
as the dam and canal construction is
completed the work is strictly first
class. The dam has cost nearly
$500, 900 all told, while the whole
plant represents an approximate ex-
penditure of $4,000.000 and covers
240, 900 acres of the finest land in Ida
no. These lands have practically all
been sold and fully 60, 900 acres are
now under cultivation. 1t is a source
of very great surprise to one going
over the tract for the first time to see
the great development which has been
wrought in two years out of sage
brush plain.
1.-THE report of the board of engi
neers will be placed in the hands of
the State Board of Idaho in very
few days. The work of construction
is not entirely completed but the con-
struction company is making every
effort to rush the work to final com
pletion and to turn over the control
to the settlers. The bulk of the work
yet to be done is on the distributing
system with some minor details in the
main canal.
The board of examiners which ex
amined the property consisted of O. L.
Waller, Representing the settlers, and
Clarence Johnson, state engineer of
Wyoming, represents the Idaho state
land board. The construction com
pany changed engineers so often dur
ing the inspection that their man was
not considered in making out the final
report.

THEY BLEW OPEN A SAFE.
Three Erie PostofTice Robbers Were
Soon Captured.

Erie. Kan, Feb. 11.-Quick work
was made Sunday by Neosho county
officers of three cracksmen who blew
open the safe of the Erie postoffice in
the morning at $3.50 O'Clock. securing
about $40 worth of stamps and $50 in
cash. The robbers blew the outer
door of the safe, but failed to get into
the steel chest where the government
money and large supply of stamps
were kept.
The shot which opened the safe
awakened a restaurant keeper who
saw the men enter the back door of
the postoffice after the explosion. The
postmaster, sheriff and deputy were
notified at once by phone. but the men
escaped on a freight train bound for
Chanute, which they left at Wye,
boarding train for the south.
Officers at Thayer were notified and
took from the train three men, each
of whom had 44-calibre revolver and
large amount of ammunition. The
stamps and money, with fuse, dyna-
mite caps and material for safe blow
ing, were also found on the men who
are said to have confessed and were
brought back here and placed in jail.

CAR BUILDERS TO BLAME.
Third Vice President of the Santa Fe
Talks About the Shortage.

1diAS ABOUT the SllOfIdS6.
George T. Nicholson of Chicago,
third vice president of the Santa Fe
railroad, was asked about the car
shortage problem.
1T is going to be with us for some
time" he answered. For the last five
years the railroads have been buying
all the cars which the shops have been
able to turn out. So you see it is not
the fault of the railroads that there
are not enough cars. 1t now takes
about a year to get cars delivered after
they are ordered. In October the
Santa Fee ordered eight million dol
lars worth of rolling stock to be de-
Hvered a year later.
THE car industry is not the only
one which is behind in meeting de-
large buildings will tell you how hard
it is to get steel delivered. In the
various other lines conditions are the
same. Nobody ever dreamed of the
wonderful business development which
has come to pass all over the country.
Some men may claim they saw it sew
eral years ahead, but don't believe it.
1t was impossible.
.-At the present time the railroads
are handling about all the trains pos
sible on a single track system The
Santa Fe has just decided to issue 9S
millions in stock for improvements,
part. of which will be spent in double
track work. All the roads need more
rolling stock, more tracks and more
terminal facilities. But the improve
ment has to be gradual

sTICKNEY SEES DISASTER.
Says Freight Rete Reductions Would
RankruDt .Prosnerous Roads.

President A. B. St1ckney, of the Chi
cago Great Western, made the sensa-
tional statement day or two ago that
a reduction in freight rates of 1 mill a
ton would wipe out all the dividends
earned by the greatest and most pros
porous railroads in the country.
There is no other business in the
country" he said which is done on
so small margin of profit No other
invested capital gets so small returns
as the capital invested in railroads,
and the tonnage carried is so large
that a reduction of the insignificant
amount of Il cent a hundred weight
on a 100 mile haul would deprive the
stockholders of railroads of all divi-
dends- - ss--..,-
such decrease of 1 mill a ton a
mile would have substantially the
same effect upon all the great lines,
and would put into bankruptcy most
of the smaller roads in the competitive
territory extending from the Atlantic
coast to the Missouri river and from
the Gulf of Mexico to the Great lakes"

G.. Holt of the court of common pleas
beginning today. The trial is expetc-
ed to contain several sensational fea-
lures, and will probably last for sew,
eral days.
Rumble is expected to plead tenn
porary insanity for his defense. Frank
Hutton, a negro who was arrested as
an accomplice, was released by order
of the county attorney several weeks
ago, because of insufficient evidence to
convict him.
The murder of Emery was sensa-
tional Unarmed. and not thinking or

leave his premises.
"Why don't you go away?" Emery
asked Rumble. There is nothing here
for YOU
The next moment Emery fell to the
floor mortally wounded, with bullet
through his body.
Rumble and Hutton had been
drinking whisky from bottle in MI
gents alley for over an hour before
the shooting, which took place at $3.50
O'clock They had been making con-
siderable noise, and Emery had asked
them to leave Finally they mounted
the steps and knocked at the door.
Money, money! witnesses claim to
have heard Rumble murmur just be-
fore Emery was killed.
Emery was g years old, and left
wife and three children. Rumble Is
35 years old. and is an iron molder by
trade. He has been married. but is
divorced.
