MRS. TEMPLES TELEGRAM
AN UNUSUAL ATTRACTION
An Exceedingly Clever Farce Will Be Presented
at the Garrett Opera House in This
City Monday Evening.

"Mrs. Temples Telegram"
which made an emphatic hit at
the Madison Square theatre,
New York, where it ran for ov-
er three hundred nights, de-
scribed as a clever farce, we'll
staged, will be presented at the
Garrett Opera House on Mon
day evening, May 5.
1t is filled with clean, whole
some fun, generously supplied
with abundant cause for laugh
ter and yet not wanting in that
cleverness which appeals to the
intelligence and taste of the
auditor.
The story is that of a married
man, who having been caught
high in the air by a Ferris
Wheel, the machinery Of which
has broken, endeavors to pla-
cate his wife by telling her the
truth, but she does not believe
him; so he resorts to a lie. 1t

new TELEPHONE LINE
FOR MOUNTAIN HOME
Stock Company of Nevada and Idaho Ranchers
to Finance the Enterprize---Woman
Promoter at the Head.

They found that the conditions
in Boise were favorable toward
the extension of the line into
this city from Mountain Home
and while here received consid-
cradle encouragement. They
also attended to the filing on a
large amount of valuable land
near the Nevada line, but locat-
ed in this state and tributary to
the ranch of Mrs. Sewell and
Mr.. Ridell. The parties re-
turned to their respective homes
yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Ridell stated that the
new telephone line is to start
from Elko and travel through a
rich farming country to Owyee
and over the divide to Mountain
Home and thence direct to
Boise. Work Of construction
has started and supplies for the
line are being hauled to Elko.
From information gathered
from Mr.. Riddell there is a
general prosperity in the New
ada country this year and few
have felt the effects Of the f.
nancial stringency. The stock
was never in better condition
and the open winter has been
ideal for them. Near Owyee
the range has been kept out of
the reserve for sheep and as a
result the pasturing for stock
is very fine and it is from this
industry that the ranchers are
reaping fair profits. There are
an unusually large number of
wild horses in that section Of
the country and many of them
of the very best breeds. They
escaped from the corrals years
ago and since that time the
ranchers have been unable to
capture them, so they are al
lowed to run the range free and
wild with the result that in the
past few years they have null
tiplied in large numbers.

Another Dynamite Outrage.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Carlson, near Wardner, was
blown sky-high by dynamite
Thursday evening. The in
mates of the house, Mr.. and
Mrs. Carlson and the hired man,
were severely injured, the hired
man being picked up about fifty
feet from the building. The
Carlsons had just finished their
new home and were occupying
it for the first time.
The guilty parties have not
as yet been apprehended. 1T
is reported that some Finland
ers in the woods nearby have
been making some nasty threats
lately against the settlers in
that locality and they will prob
be taken into custody. All the
horses and animals in the barn
were killed ane the barn demol-
ished by the force of the dyn-
amite.

of about 900 acres of school
land, which will be sold for $40
per acre.
The water is to be taken from
the Malad river some three miles
above where it empties into the
Snake river. A large ferry is
being built for the purpose of
conveying the equipment across
the Snake river, after the work
on the other side is completed,
and it is probable after the
work is completed, a petition
will be presented to the county
commissioners for the estab-
lishment of a permanent ferry
at this point.
Considerable work was done
on this project by the Glenns
Ferry company and only about
% miles of main ditch is to be
finished and it is expected the
work will be completed early
in the fall and the lands brought
under cultivation next season.
Capital News.
The Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1903-1909, 1908-05-02

Capital News: An independ-
ent telephone line is now in
process of construction between
Elko, New, and Mountain Home
and the line will be extended
from the latter place to Boise
some time during the present
year, thus making a direct line
from the heart Of the Nevada
territory to this city and event
ually meaning the establ blish-
ment Of another large exchange
in this city, giving Boise resi-
dents the benefit Of three sep
arate telephone lines.
Probably the most unique
feature of this line is the fact
a typical western woman pro-
moter is behind its installment
in the person of Mrs. F. A.
Sewell, a prominent and veal
thy ranch owner near Owyhee,
New, where she has one of the
largest and best stocked ranch
es in that great mining state.
1t has been through her efforts
that the ranchmen as well as
business men Of Owyhee, Elko
and Mountain Home have de-
cided to back the new indepen-
ent telephone line. All are in
terested, the Mountain Home
people because the telephone
system will bring them into
closer communication with dis
tant Nevada points and the FL
ko and Owyee residents for the
same reason and also for the
fact that they can have direct
connection with the capital city
of Idaho.
Mrs. F. A. Sewell and family
Mr.. and Mrs. Grant Reddell and
Miss Lessitta Dunkin, all of FL
ko, have been in Boise for the
past week promoting the inter-
ests of the new telephone line
as Mrs. Sewell, Miss Dunkin
and Mr.. Riddel are numbered
among its principal promoters.

While Mountain Home failed
to win first place, she was we'll
represented in the person of
Miss Gladys Loveridge, who
took as her subject "The New
Lochinvar." Miss Loveridge
occupied the ninth place on the
program, which consisted of
twelve numbers.
After the finish of the con-
test which was a splendid one
in all respects and evidently
satisfactory to all concerned,
alout 200 guests sat down to a
banquet at the Bannock hotel
and enjoyed themselves to the
limit. A pennant will be pre-
sented to Mr.. Hill, who in turn
will turn it over to the college
in his city.

Cold Weather VS.. the Fruit Crop.

Contrary to expectations the
reports coming in as to the eff
feet of the late frosts upon
fruit are most favorable. We
are informed that the recent
cold weather was a benefit rath-

bloom and settling of fruit trees
was so heavy that it would
have been simply Impossible for
the trees to bear their burdens
and the fruit would not have
been of such good quality.

States Cotton Crop

Regardless of the fact that the Ar
kansas river is above flood stage and
thousands of acres Of cotton from Fort
Smith to the mouth of the river have
been inundated, the majority of plant
ers in the state have nothing to COM
plain about. 1t is estimated that not
more than ten per cent of the cotton
lands of the state are subject to over
flow, and of this percentage all is not
under water.
The upland cotton is in fine shape.
While rains have not been extensive
in the state within the last ten days,
there has been enough rainfall to keep
the staple from suffering. At this par
ticular time of the year planters say
that rain is not needed except in occa-
sional showers Later in the season,
when the cotton is in bloom, heavier
rains are more beneficial to the crop.
The situation in the flooded districts
is now very acute. The cotton under
water has probably been destroyed,
and the season is getting so far ad-
vanced that replanting will be only an
experiment.

Damage Of $4,000 to the Potato Crop

The first car of potatoes shipped
from Fort Smith to St. Louis was rails
ed near Paris. The buyers there say
the stock showed the effect of exces-
sive rains. There has been less rain
about Paris than at Fort Smith and
digging is now general there.
Conditions at Fort Smith are very
unsettled. 1t is estimated that one-half
of the crop within 10 miles of the city
has been destroyed by floods Much
bottom land has been under water for
three weeks and the loss in that vi
entity on potatoes alone is estimated
at $4,000. The Eastern markets are
all unsettled, and local growers have
concluded TO wait until the ground
dries out before beginning to dig. II
is not believed that more than 700
cars will be shipped this season.
