with the names Of the officers of
both railroads and an inscription
setting forth the occasion for the
laying Of The tie.
Then the rails were put in place
and all but one spike driven. This
was the golden spike, and its drlv-
ing was heralded in every city, will
age and hamlet in the nation. The
moment it was driven the news was
flashed to all quarters of the globe.
The trains of the connecting roads
ST. AIMED up close together and the
whistles Of the locom olives blew a
salute. The exa It hour Of the drIv-
ing of the golden spike is given as
2:47 o'clock on the afternoon of
May 10, 1859.
In all the principal cities and in
many of the villages of the United
States the news Of the driving Of
the golden spike was eagerly await
ed. AT all telegraph offices all over
the country special operators were
assigned to watch for Jews of the
connection of the two great rail-
roads. In Chicago aud New York
where there was intense interest in
the outcome of the transcontinental
project, large crowds gathered to
get the first news of the completion
of the enterprise.
Just before the spike was driven
the telegraph agent at Promontory
Point gave the signal for which the
world was waiting. The message
was warning to watch out for the
driving of the golden spike. When
the driving of the spike was begun
dot from the operator transmitted
the news of each blow to the east.
After the spike had been driven the
officials of both railroads gave to tie
Associated Press this dispatch:
"Promontory Point, Utah, May
10, l869.-The last rail Is laid.
The last spike is driven. The Paci-
nc railroad is completed. The pon t
of junction is l,ose miles west f
the Missouri rlYer and 500 miles east
Of Sacramento City,"

hour there, during which the won.
derful possibilities of the country
were graphically pictured by Major
Reed, the party iourneyed on to
Jerome, II miles distant. Here is
another ''magic CITY," that has
sprung up in the sage brush within
the past year and half. 1t now
has population of fully 1900, with
a 500, 600 hotel nearing completion,
two banks with combined deposits
of $ loo, 900, modern store buildings,
quite number of pretty homes,
electric lights and water works. The
party were the guests of the Jerome
commercial club at an elegant DIM
ner, which was served at the College
Inn.
From Jerome we were conveyed
IN rigs to Shoshone Falls, distance
of Is miles After viewing in ad-
miratlon for a half hour the pictur-
esque and mighty falls, we were
driven to the city of Twin Falls,
the real "maglc city" of Southern
ldaho--a city less than five years
old with population of nearly
5000 and magnificent business
blocks, school houses and homes.
Here we were treated to a sump.
tuous repast at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Wilbur S. Hill of the
Twin Falls Times. After enjoying
their hospitality for an hour, the
train was taken for the homeward
journey.
The August meeting will he held
at Rlgby, the home of the venera BILE
and faithful secretary of the club.
The entertainment there will in

Hot Springs.
Next week we will publish in
supplement a full account of the
meeting, together with some views
of the great work that is being done
in converting what was once known
as the "Great American Desert"
into land of growing fields and
happy homes

Seattle, Wash. May 10. Visitors
at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposi.
stion, which opens at Seattle June
and closes October Is, will be able
to dine TO their satisfaction at the
city's leading cafes and restaurants
at normal prices. To leave no doubt
as to the working out of this com.
menddble spirit on the part of Seat

voted as body an agreement bn1-
ing all restaurant, cafe, grill aud
hotel men to MAINTAIN the present

time, and no member of the organl-
cation TO which the caterers belong
will be allowed to take advantage
of the opportunity to reap addltl'n

protests, in previous exposition

The action was taken after /. A.

restaurant men, showing them how
the increased crowds that would fol

DROVE GOLDEN SPIKE
ON MAY 10, 1869
Forty Years Ago Last Monday the First
Transcontinental Railroad was Com
pleted--Was Great Event.

Ogden, Utah, May IL Forty
y ars ago Yesterday the first trans.
continental railrord across North
America WAS completed. The com
letio of the first railroad across
the continent was formed by union
of the Central and Union Pacific
railroads at Promontory Point, west
of Ogden. There the golden spike
WAS driven that closed the gap be-
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific
AT that time the Central Pacific
and the Union Pacific were rlyal
roads. The Central Pacific bull

railroads WED eagerly for the most
mileage. When they joined the
eastern terminus of the Central Pa
citic was 804 miles east of San Fran
cisco and the western terminus of
the Union Pacific was ,058. 8 miles
west of Omaha.
On May 10, 1859, at s:45 O'clock
in the morning special train over
the Central Pacific bearing it's off

afterwards two special trains over
the Union Pacific arrived with the

I The meeting of the Eastern Idaho
Press club held at Gooding last
Sunday was largely attended and
was one of the most pleasant and
profitable meetings that has ever
been held by the club.
The entertainment provided at
Goodlng by the Commercial club
and Ex-Governor Gooding was all
that could be expected. The mem
hers aud their wives were the guests,
Sunday, of the ex-governor az The
Lincoln-"An Inn Worth While. .
The business sessions of the club
were held in the commodious quar-
ters of the commercial club, an ac-
tive organization IN that young, but
lively town. Officers of the Press
club for the ensuing year were elect
ed Sas follows:
Presiden:-James r. Wallis of
the Rexburg Standard.
First Vice President-O. III Bar
her of the American Falls Press.
Second Vice Presldent-Karl

The first stop was made al Wendell,

to accommodate the influx OF visitors
IN way that will be a cause for
lasting satisfaction. Hotels are
many and reasonable, and with fix

houses, from the most aristocratIc
to humble lunch counter, tourists
may have no fear of not finding ac-
commodations.

on the question a committee, con
sisting Of G. c. Gray, Nose Lewis,
Thos. Enos and j. A. Barrett were
appointed to canvass the town and
see if the $1,000 could be raised.
AS we have stated in these col
umns a number of times In the past,
we believe that race meet will
bring more people to Montpelier
than any other attraction or sport
ing event that could be gwen. 1t
will b ing a class of people, too,
who spend money while here, and
while 1t Is not at all probable that
the merchants who subscribe S25,
$50 or SIS to secure this event
would all get their money back,
yet fair per cent of 1t would be
returnsd and the town in general
would reap benefit. Montpelier
is probably the smallest town IN the
proposed circuit, but 1t has large
territory to draw from and in pro-
portion to the size of the towns, we
believe the attendance at each day
of the meet would be larger here
than at Blackfoot, St. Anthony O.
Pocatelle.
1t seems to the Examiner tha
there should be no trouble in secur
Ing a subscription To the amount D.
$1,000, especially when one cltizel
stands ready to put up twice tha
amount in order to insure the rae
meet. Let's show the rest of th,
state that we are olive ones" by pull
ing off this race meet next Sep
tember.

Will MONTPELIER
HAVE RACE MEET?
Chamber of Commerce Appoints Com
mittee to Solicit Funds--Must Raise
$1,000 to Secure Races.

Is Montpelier going to have
three days race meet in September?
Whether it does or not, depends en-
tirely with the business men and
citizens of Montpelier. As the
Examiner readers will remember,
Lish Strong attended meeting in
Pocatello the latter part of Febru
ary at which a racing circuit was
organized, and Montpelier was in
cluded in the list with four or five
other towns in which race meets
were to be held this season. At
that meeting Mr.. Strong, while
speaking without authority, express
ed the belief that the $4,000 requir-
ed to insure the meet here could be
raised. Of this amount we under
stand Mr.. Strong is willing to put
up $4,000. This leaves $1,000, which
must be subscribed by the business
men and Others interested III that
class of sport.
At meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce last Saturday night, the
question of raising this fund was
discussed. Mr.. Strong explained
the situation thoroughly and i'm.
pressed upon those present that II
would be absolutely necessary to
put up guarantee of $4,000 in or.
der to secure the race meet. AL
the other towns in the circuit, ht
stated, had come through with Il {
guarantee and it was now up tc
Montpelier to say whether or moi
the races shall be held here on the
dates arranged-Sept. 2e, 20 and 81
and Oct. /. After some discussion

MGR. ZIMMERMAN GOES
TO ST. LOUIS FOR JOB
Former Ten-Cent Theater Unable to
Weather the Dry Spell-win Be
Remodeled for Store Building at
Once-Was in Operation About a
Year-Last Performance Monday

The Lyric theater, after a varied
career has now abandoned the field and
last night the bling banging of the pi-
ano and the clog dancing on the vau-
deville state was abandoned forever.
All was in darkness and silence at the
Broadway amusement house last night
and it is not expected that the business
will ever be revived
Former Manager Zimmerman who
has been with the Lyric for the past
year has left for St. Louis where he
has accepted a position in a film ex-
change company. 1t was said today
that the seats would be removed some
time this week and that the room
would bereconverted into a store room
as soon as possible.
In Existence for a Year.
The Lyric theater has been operating
in Gary for about year with the ex-
ception of the time it was being re
built after the fire. After the fire the
place was entirely remodeled and it
was changed from a five to a ten-cent
theater. Here for some time an or
chestra was hired TO entertain the pub
lie in addition to the pictures. Later
the orchestra was abandoned and vau-
deviIle was produced.
The theater has not been entirely
successful during its career, the great
est drawing card being the orchestra
and the moving pictures. Monday night
was the last night the patrons of the
place had an opportunity to see a show
at the Lyric unless the stock holders
reorganize new company.

Advertising
Business Insurance

Advertising is business Insurance
and IL is better than fire insurance
in one respect. At IL O'Clock one
year from date your IRE Insurance
policy expires and protection with
that ceases right then and there,
Not so with advertising. The pro-
lection Is continuous and IL multi
plies. 1t gathers In strength and
the dollar spent two years from to-
day is worth TO you twice the dol
lar spent today If you keep up your
advertising in the meantime. Each
year as your advertising cOnt1uz~-
the same amount of money buys Won
more protection. Though IL fs i'm
possible to figure the cumulative 81
feet of ndvertising, 1t is a well en-
tablished fact that the longer van
advertise the more effective vou-
advertising will be.
