APARTMENTS ILLNESS /.
 STARTLED THE MARKET
It Was First Disturbed By Report
 That He Was Dead

New York. Sept. 7-Harrimans Ill., ness agarn sent a shiver through the securities markets today and broke wide hole in prices. The violence of the decline in prices was greatly ag- gravated by the fact that rumors were current before the market opened that the financier had died. The reports were circulated both in London and New York.
 The harmful influence was not dis sipated by the early guarded assertions of Harriman's official associates that they understood he was better after an attack of indigestion. Selling was not notably large. even in the demoral- iZed opening break The demand was too cautious to support prices effect lively. It was considered certain also in view of the vast interests at stake and sober procedure under such con tingencies. that the utmost precautions had been taken already to meet a sud len emergency. both in the adminis- trative and financial affairs of the Hartman companies. The weak clos ing at lowest prices was accompanied by reiterated bulletins affirming the low vitality of Hartman and great anxiety felt by his family and friends.

FLOODED GAMBLING
 IN THE NORTHWEST
Statesmen and Magnate Make Nota-
 bIe Winnings at "FIy-loo

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 7.-"Fly-loo" game popularized by the Chinese long before the advent of Confucius. and since then the pastime of hc.Til- ipinos, served to whlle away several hours for three members of the United States senate, the head of transeon- tinental railroad, his assistant and the chief of its legal department in the west at headquarters of the gov ernment irrigation project in Tieton canyon, near North Yakima, Wash, the other day. Howard Elliott, presi- dent of the Northern Pacific Railway company. who ''butted in" with coin borrowed from other players after los ing his own, swept the board and thus again added support to a superstition generally accepted by the sporting fra ternity.
 Senator Carter of Montana and FL liott started the game by placing Jumps of sugar on the seat of a camp |. chair. Each, deposited dime under the. cube and waited for the flies to bounce upon the sweets, the argument being that the first fly alighting on a cube declares it's owner the winner of the pot. Carter was trimming Elliott to a frazzle when Thomas Cooper as- sistant to the railway man. joined. still Carter continued to win. Elliott offered to bet big red apples, but the Montana senator declined.
 Senators Paynter of Kentucky and Chamberlain of oregon then took a hand each and the former cleaned up $1.30. Judge Reed of Tacoma also played in his loose change without as much as a look in, when Elliott came back. Borrowing 90 cents from Sep ator Paynter, he won from the start and ended by taking all the money in sight.
 It is hinted that the secret of Eli ott's success was due to soaking his cube in clover honey: also that he daubed his opponents Jumps with ann monia, but that's another story.

The Oregon Short Line company has
decided to lend a hand towards
beautifying our little city and this week
have force of men at work removing
the coal sheds which stood north of the
depot, across the west siding, and that
portion of the yards between the main
line and the siding will be filled in and
sown to grass and flowers. A beauti-
full lawn fence will guard the spot from
intrusion and we predict that the COM
pany will see to it that this will be a
credit to the yards and to the town.
People passing through town on rail
too often only see the railroad yards
and buildings and from this form their
opinion and we are glad to see the COM
pany take an interest with our people
in the work of making our city beauti-
full and attractive.

MODERN PLAY HOUSE
Most Up-to- Home for Ten Cent
Show in Idaho has Just Been
Completed.

By the first of next week the manage
ment of the Star theater will be at
home to the many show goers of Amer
lean Falls in their new and up-to-date
playhouse. This building has been
under course of construction for some
time, being delayed by lack of material,
but now that it is completed we can
point to it with pride and compare it
with any of those in the southern part
of this state. 1t may not be as large
as some but from the point of neatness
and beauty we will compare.
This new building is 30x70 with
seating capacity of 800 and the man
agement promises now that sufficient
seats will be provided to take care of
the business which they have built up
too large for the present location. The
new theatre will be known as the Irene,
name which fits in exactly with the
beautiful surroundings. The artistic
work was left to W. ]. Wallise, our
local decorator, and he has certainly
done himself proud on this job. His
work of blending the combination of five
colors is really the best work seen in
this section and this of course puts the
necessary finishing touches to the build
ing to place it with the very best.

Investigators From Iowa.

L. w. Cotant arrived in American
Falls Thursday morning with his wife
and family from Spokane, Washington,
and will now locate permanently in the
Rockland valley. He had already taken
up homestead in that section and has
leased number of acres so that he
now has farm of 800 acres. Mr..
Cotant came to Washington from Iowa
and since his investigation here has in
duced some of his Iowa neighbors to
visit this section. This week he is
entertaining four Iowa people, A. H.
and James Gould, ]. C. Zahrt and Dan
Deaty. These men are all in position
to know land when they see it and
when our favorable conditions are
backed by such men as Mr.. Cotant
there is but one decision to make and
these Iowa men will carry home with
them favorable report.

STOCK YARDS REMOVED.
Nearly all the Fence Comprising Stock
Yards on Chestnut Avenue
Taken Down.

What the citizens of American Falls
have been working and longing for the
past two years is now realized and the
Short Line stock yards which were situ-
ated in the center of the city is nearly
a thing of the past, only small por-
ton remaining for the accommodation
of stock men until the new yards can
be constructed. The new location
which the company has planned on is a
mile and quarter north Of the present
site and will place them outside the
city limits for time at least.
Work began Monday and Wednesday
evening that portion which could be
taken away without too much incon-
yenience to stock men, was ready for
transportation to the new location.
The location has not been fully decided
upon, but one thing is certain, that the
central part of our city viii no longer
have this as drawback to its beauty.

IS hoped that this will be ready for oc-

PROGRESS SLOW.
Work on Harness Factory and Tannery
Not Progressing as at First
Anticipated.

Although very good progress is being
made with the work of erecting the
shuilding for the harness factory and
tannery in this city, yet it is not as
rapid as was expected it would be owing
70 the amount of rock which has to be
blasted to make way for the construc-
ton of the vats. The main building is
9oing ahead rapidly and gives a very
prosperous looking condition to that
corner of the city. While the building
may not be completed as soon as was
first thought, it will not be far beyond
the date set when machinery will be
winding out harness which will carry
the label, American Falls made" The
rock formation at this point is a small
drawback to the progress of the build
ing yet, it is the better for it and will
6arnish the best of foundation for the
: concrete construction and heavy mach
1nery.

TO LIGHT THE
CITY STREETS
This Proposition Now Under
Consideration by Board.
Proposition Made by the Power Com
pany to Properly Light Our City
Streets viii Likely be
Accepted.

A very serious problem to the people
OF American Falls is soon 10 be solved
The Idaho Consolidated Power company
this week made proposition to the
village board % furnish eight large arc
and thirty-four 50-candIe incandesceut
lights on our streets for 81, 500 per
year This is certainly an offer which
will be hard to turn down as the Power
company only figure the actual cost OF
construction and expense in this figure.
There has been, however, 2 little
hesitency on the part OF the officials in
accepting this generous offer, caused
oy the present shortage Of funds. This
shortage does not mean bankruptcy. for
we pride in the fact that the financial
condition Of American Falls is in better
shape than that Of any other town Of
southern idaho. There is not a dollar
against the city at present, winch is
considerable to say Of any town. At
present the funds are very low which
cause the present delay in the matter.
A special meeting Of the council viii
De held next Tuesday evening when it
Is more than likely that they will enter
into contract with the company and
construction work commenced at once,
which will mean much 70 all the people
OF our little city. A question of issuing
q small amount Of bonds for a short
time will be taken up at this special
meeting. At present the city has
several hundred dollars tied up in vari-
Gus sidewalks which were constructed
by the town and charged to the taxes
ard will be coming back into the treas
ury within short time. Whatever
decision Is reached in the matter of
finance will be OF little Importance com
pared to the lights.

CONTEST NEARS
THE CLOSE
Interest Gains as the Closing
Time Draws Near.
Where This Range Will Go Only Rests
With the Friends Of the Con-
testants and One Week
Left to Work.

At IL o'clock noon Friday, October 49,
the Good Luck Range contest which
has been running the past six weeks ir
this paper will come to close and some
lady will receive the beautiful range.
Where it will go only depends upon the
work done next week. The contest
has not been on in earnest until the
past week which perhaps has two
reasons, the closing time drawing near
and the reduced rate on the paper.
Up to the time of the closing of the
contest special rate is made on the
Press of one dollar per year. This is a
rare opportunity to get such value as
the Press weekly to any address for
year for one dollar. Those of you who
are already taking the paper had better
look at the address tag and be sure you
are paid in advance, and if not DON t
fail to take advantage of this offer.
The contest now really rests between
two contestants, Mrs. Matt Mattson,
of this city, and Mrs. Clint Robinson,
of Rockland. Mrs. Mattson has been
1T the head of the list since the be-
ginning, although several times has been
only few ahead. Today her lead
could be very easily overtaken and it
will be only through earnest work next
week if she heads the list at the close.
Mrs. Robinson has made good run in
the three weeks she has been in the
contest and her friends are working
hard to land the prize for her. She
received this week 6, $40 votes against a
gain of 3, ITO for Mrs. Mattson, and did
not come far from heading the list.
The coming week must be a week of
work, and if you have a choice in this
matter it must be expressed then. 1t
will be too late next Saturday when
possibly you will learn that your choice
lost by a few votes and one more sub
scription would have placed this beauti-
full range where you would rather see
it go. Our next issue will tell the
winner and the time is now here for
the friends to work.
