sunday school Picnic.

The Firth Evangelical Sunday
school held a picnic at the home of
Gust Nelson near the Basalt town
site, the 5th.
The people commenced to gather
about 10 o'clock and at IL quite a
crowd had assembled.
Tables had been erected in the
orchard back of the house and at
noon the ladies served a splendid
dinner.
In the afternoon program was
given by the school lasting about an
hour and thirty minutes and was
followed by an earnest address from
Rev, Stromquist on the value of a
Sunday school training to the child

At the close of the program la
large pan filed with candy and n,ks

THE GERMAN SCIENTIST.

DR.. Schloss declares that the av-
erage person loses one-half to three
fourths of their energy that should
be stored for health. That a vast
amount is lost through UNCON-
SCIOUS EYE STRAIN which could
be properly conserved by wearing
eyeglasses.
When such men are taking note
of the eyes and their effect on the
general health it is nearly time for
the average person to sit up and
see that their eyes are thoroughly
examined for defects so as to con-
serve their nerve force. A new
world has been revealed to lots of
people simply by having their eyes
properly fitted with glasses. 1t means
better health land better business
ability. Defective eyes uncorrected
means defective nerve centers and
defective mental power. You cannot
be your best with your eyes sap
ping your body strength. If you want
the best for your eyes see

was the message received by Rev.
G.. G.. HALEY at his wireless tele-
graph station Saturday, Aug. 9Th.
The message was addressed to Pay
cite and came from Council Crest
station at Portland, Ore. Before the
call for Payette was received the in
strnment picked up a long message
which was In cipher. Mr.. HALEY
easily took the message which was
Is minutes or more in coming. As
soon as certain parts of his apparatus
arrive from the east, Rev. HALEY
will be able to both send and receive
messages.
After several weeks delay, yester-
day afternoon work was again re-
sumed on the well of the Oneida Oil
& Gas company. Fully $500 has
been subscribed by local people to
be used in this well, new cable has
arrived and as soon as the four-inch
casing can be drawn from the hole
six-inch casing will be put in to a
depth of 1000 feet and then it Is be-
lieved drilling can be continued
without interruption. The well is
down about 1900 feet and 1t is be-
lieved that oil will be struck within
the next few hundred feet.

The Ontario Cooperative Oil &
Gas Co. stock Is fast being subscrib-
ed for, w. r. Lees is back from Cal
ifornia, where he made arrange
ments for the machinery and the
same will shortly arrive and then
boring will commence without fur
Their delay.
The company has leases on $4,000
acres Of land in this district. The
leases run rs years and the land
owners receive one-tenth royalty of
the amount of oil and gas.
A noted oil expert OF Beaumont,
Texas, who visited this section
sometime since, said in the presence
of several of our citizens: II have
been in all OF the prominent oil
fields of the United States, and
have seen only two fields in which
indications for oil was as favorable
as here, and believe that you will
have one of the largest oil fields
around Ontario that has ever been
struck"
Expert drillers will arrive with the
machinery. and the company expect
to bore four wells to depth of 2,
900 feet or more and to thoroughly
prospect the leases for oil and gas.
The officers of the company are all
well known business men of Ontario
and. have the confidence Of the people
here, and the company was not or
ganized for stock jobbing purposes,
but to bore for oil and gas.
Better get In on the ground floor
and subscribe for several hundred or
a thousand or more shares at 5 cents
per share, for you cannot obtain the
shares at that price long, Lolita.

The new reservoir made at Jack
sons Lake was put into commission
on the first of August, or rather the
water was first drawn from it on
that date. The flow In the Snake
river was decreasing very rapidly at
that time, and enough was turned in
from the lake to double the stream
in the river If no loss from seepage
and evaporation had occurred. 1t
took three days for it to reach Black
foot, and although the water had de-
creased about one-third in four days,
it increased the flow at the bridge
three vertical inches. All the canals
tapping the river were kept drawing
the same amount and the water
mark in the river here fell by Au-
gust s to where it was on the Bird
before the rise came. Today it is
two inches below that and the meas
urements will be made every day
until ten days experiment has
been made The time will expire
here on Thursday morning at 1
o'clock.
TIL government is making this ex-
pertinent to see just what can be
done, and all farmers are getting
the benefit of it. Only the temporary
Lake, raising the water about 80
feet. A much larger dam is con-
templated, and canal companies that
rejected the invitation to get in on
the reservoir two years ago, would
be glad of the chance to do so now.
d. G. Martin, water commissioner
for this district of Idaho, was here
this morning to confer with Deputy
Ernest Hale who has charge Of all
the headgates between Shelley and
the mouth of the Blackfoot river. It
includes two on the east side and
eleven on the west side.

The Country Boy.

Have you noticed that the fellow
Who is talked of most today
Was barefoot in the country
Tramping down the. daisied way?
Have you thought to count the lead
ers
Who have warmed their frosty
feet
Where the brindle COW had rested
Ere she yielded up her teat?
Have you noticed that the great ones
Know and love the things of God
And have kept their senses fragrant
With the perfume of the sod?
Have you ever paused to figure
Why the country boy wins out?
It's because he learned to hustle
In the days of sauerkraut!
IT'S because he's broad and honest,
Has heart that's turned to toll,
Inspiration born and nurtured
With the turning of the soil!
He has learned the golden lesson
That man who wins must try
With an earnestness of purpose
And a frank look in the eye!
So the country boy is leading
Strong of frame and pure of heart,
Winning laurels in the struggle,
Gaining honors In the mart.
You can find him in the sanctum,
In the courtroom, at the mill!
He is doing things by motto
And the motto is II WILLW

THE yITAsCOPE.

The moving picture show seems
to have come to stay. 1t is taking
the place OF the theatre at an aston
ishing rate and at about one-tenth
Of the COST Every city has from
one to several of these dime thea
tres while the small town that can
not afford the theater does support
moving picture exhibition.
By attending these shows we find
a goodly portion Of the audience is
made up of children. They sit in
groups and laugh delightedly as the
various scenes are shifted on the
screen.
When we observe what some of
the scenes are that call forth the APP
plause of these younger citizens, a
question comes up as to the fitness
of the moving picture exhibitions.
For while all of these scenes are
fakes" or carefully prepared COM
position for the lantern, yet they are
as realistic as the actual thing.
They create the same impression in
the child's mind that view Of the
actual happening would make.
The following program was gazed
at by about sixty or seventy children
in one evening. "The Capture" was
delineation Of the capture Of a cou-
pie of thieves by half dozen police
men. "The Seaside" was really
beautiful view of the pleasure
crowds in and about the Casino Of
popular sea coast resort. THE
Bewitched Bed" gave a pictorial &C
count Of the adventures Of drunk
en- man, who accidentally, became
encased in a feather bed. And last
1.-The Woman Suffragist" pictured
the trials Of an immense, masculine
like woman and her small eliminate
husband.
The child audience enjoyed their
evening heartily. When the "Cap-
ture" was on the screen, the small
boys leaned forward in excitement.
Such ordinations as Watch Ter go"
"Gee, see that billy club!' and
Watch him beat her over the
head" were heard.
The Seaside called forth much
less admiration than the previous
slides: Shouts of laughter greeted
the "Bewitched bed" while the Wo-
man Suffragist" proved equally pop
ular.
The effect of such scenes is obvi-
ously detrimental, as they tend to
create false cympathies and pervert
upright standards of right and
wrong. Parents who raise a great
hue and cry over the yellow backed,
so called dime novel, would do well
to study their duty in this direction.
But again, not all of these exhi-
billions are of the above type The
when popularity exhibited
Is instructive and heartily amusing.
Good exhibitions like good theatrical
plays, are splendid factors in edu-
cation. They are Furthermore in the
reach of all the public.
AS public opinion and approval
rave to do with the maintenance and
continuation of all amusements, it
will be interesting to watch the NOV
ng picture exhibitions for the next
ew years. The kind of exhibitions
We support will pretty clearly dis
)lay the taste and culture of the
American people. So the question
les in what kind of shows will we
lend our children to see?

AT SUICIDE

Della Connolly Was "Tired
of Life" But Changes
Mind-.TOOk Paris Green.

After half a dozen unsuccessful at
tempts to take her own lite by various
means, Della Connolly, 81 years of age,
and we'll known to the police. declared
today in st. Barnabas's Hospital that
she would never attempt suicide again.
II am tired of 1t ALL" said Della this
morning as she stood on the corner of
River and Commerce streets at $3.50 and
swallowed a small quantity of paris
green.
The woman had been working in
restaurant in Walnut street until last
night. She lost her job and became
discouraged. Pretending that rats We're
bothering her she managed to get
clerk in a drug store near the Bend
to sell her some paris green. She
turned around the Bend" to the scene
of many a pleasant day and night.
Suddenly she took the paper out of a
small parcel and was seen to swallow
some of the contents. Several men
rushed to her side when she fell to the
ground.
The First Precinct station police were
notified and the woman was conveyed
to st. Barnabas's Hospital in the am
bulance. She was conscious when taken
there. She claimed that she swallowed
two tablespoons of the poison, but the
hospital authorities say that she took
very little.
The police OF the First Precinct have
had to cut her down in the cell several
times when arrested for drunkenness.

MISSING FROM

Reichart, a iIasOa, Not
Seen Since Wednesday.
Police in Hunt.

: A general alarm has been sent out
by Sergeant Thomas Tracy. of police
headquarters, to the five precincts TO
try to get some information about
Eugene Reichert, AZ years old, of 644
North Sixth street, who has been miss
ing since Wednesday, and whose friends
think that he has met with foul play.
Reichart is stone cutter He Is six
feet four inches in height and weighs
about 100 pounds. He is married, but
has not been living with his wife.
Frederick Yost, a saloonkeeper, of
217 Berkeley avenue, reported the dis
appearance of the man to the police.
He thinks that gang of toughs who
hang out in Berkeley avenue with
Reichert may have had something 20
do with his disappearance. He had in
his possession when he was last seen
on Wednesday IS and bank book on
the Howard Savings Bank, where he
had money deposited.
Yost went to the bank today and
explained the situation to the bank
officials. They declared that no at
tempt had been made to present the
bank book there.
