Good Dramatic Criticism.

The late Richard Mansfield always
felt that he owed more to the wise
discernment and staunch support of
the THE CHICAGO RECORO-aER
AID than to any other agency, out
side himself, that contributed to his
ultimate triumph as an actor. Ask
any disinterested observer of the
atrical matters today who is the
best dramatic critic in Chicago, and
ten to one he will say James O'Don
nell Bennett of the CHICAGO REC
ORD HERALD. Mr.. B.nnett is
PROFESSIONALLY the leading critic in
his domain in the West. He writes
with fearless fairness and keen
appreciation of real merit that
makes his articles a genuine force
for the betterment of the stage.
His knowledge of the history aud
principles Of dramatic art is sutfi
cient to lend depth to his utterances,
yet he has the newspaper mans
knack of making his work breezy
and interesting for the average
man and woman. His columns are
always newsy as well as reliable in
their judgments. Anyone who will
follow the dramatic, musical, liter
airy and art departments of the
CHICAGO RECORD-HERALD from
season to season need have no fear
about keeping abreast of all that is
latest and finest in the movement
of modern culture.

NEW IDAHO BOOKLET.
Southern Idaho League of Commercial
Clubs Getting Out a Hand
some Number.

The League of Southern Idaho Com
merical clubs is gathering data from the
various Commercial clubs of the state
for an edition of 5000 handsome book
lets which it expects to have out De-
cember 18th. The booklet will con-
sist of dozen or more pages devoted
to a general description of the resources
and opportunities to be found in South
ern Idaho and each club in the League
will have the privilege of using two
full pages for local write-up and cuts.
This will be the most artistic and
beautiful booklet ever issued by the
League and will compare favorably
with anything ever published in the
northwest. The cover will be run in
three colors; on the front will be an
apple tree branch loaded with big red
apples and on the back two sheafs of
oats and one of bearded wheat. The
fruit will be done in red and the wheat
in yellow, both on green back ground.
In the center of the book, covering
the two middle pages will be map of
southern Idaho which will show the
cities in the League very prominently.
The League is now receiving about
thirty inquiries daily and a full list of
this is sent to the American Falls Com
mercial Club every day. Each of these
books contains two full pages of read
ing matter about American Falls and if
this foundation is followed up by our
own club it should result in bringing
great many settlers into the country.

ON MYSTERIOUS MISSION
{. Earl Wilson, Makes Hurried De-
parture for Dakota.

Z. Earl Wilson, who has been a
Wheelhorse in the Press office for the
past three months, hastily departed for
Webster, South Dakota, Saturday night
last, on mysterious mission. The
mystery in the matter, which will soon
cleared up, is the name of the woman
who was magnetic enough to attract
him almost 2, 1000 miles. He is to be, or
already is, married, and will return to
American Falls the coming week with
his bride. His many friends will extend
to Mr. and Mrs. Wilson a hearty well
come.
Mr.. Wilson came here late in the
summer and accidentally dropped into
the Press Office and was put to work.
He proved to be the man who was
needed and has ever since taken the ac-
tive management of the paper and
made good, and the chances are that he
will die of old age after years of
honorable and able service on the Press.
Mr.. Wilson never did anything mean
in his life except once, and that was
when he asked for a leave of absence
under false pretenses. According to
his story he had some furniture which
it was necessary to move or sell, and it
was necessary for him to personally at
tend to the matter. An old lady, how
ever. who has never failed US in such
matters, informs the editor that he is
going to get married. 1t is on her as
surance that the announcement of his
marriage is made, and if he forecast
proves to be incorrect we shall be un-
der the necessity of engaging a new
prophet.

One OF the strongest recommendations country can
have satisfied property Especially is this
when the property is who has investments in
several localities T. S. Reed, banker of Olathe Kansas
with wide acquaintance in both Kansas and Missouri
has Carey land entry between American Falls
deem. He here about months ago and in letter
toJ M. Harris has this say:
81 certainly had fine trip and it did me great deal of
good gained ten pounds in weight 1t leads me to be-
eve that should 60 west to live. had time to take in
quite number of irrigated sections my trip from
what saw and learned think country there is
the best place know of invest quite number of
place where land selling for double the price held
the American Falls Cary tract and nothing like
as good land, and the conditions nothing like good
way. Therefore believe land is sure to advance
and may be out in the spring and would like have you
keep me posted as to what is going on"
Coming from who makes study of investments
and one whois familiar with all the great rrigating Sec
tions OF the west, his opinion should be assuring to all
homeseekers Mr. Reed is not selling property here but
likely to become a buyer.

MYSTERIOUS RAIL-
ROAD BUILDING
Msburg & Gilmore Railway
a Puzzling Mystery.
Ihe Road Begins in the Mountains and
Ends in the Desert Short Line
is Preparing to Parallel 1t.

Mysterious things are transpiring in
Southern Idaho in railroad way. They
may mean much or little to the casual
inquirer, but the we'll informed believe
they mean much. Chief of the mys-
teries is the Pittsburg q Gilmore rail-
way, which begins nowhere and ends no
where. Pittsburg is village on Snake
river about sixty miles below Lewiston,
an out f-the-way hamlet with nothing
in its surrounding to attract railway.
Gilmore is in Lemhi county, about l20
miles north of American Falls. 1t is
less attractive as terminus for rail-
road than Pittsburg, and was never
heard of until someone dignified it by
connecting its name with railroad.
Not one man in a thousand in Idaho,
outside of Lemhi county, can tell where
it is without consulting map. Yet,
between Salmon City and Gilmore
thirty miles of track is laid and work is
stiM progressing. What does it mean :?
Certainly that strong interests are be-
hind it, and that it is building to some
other locality than Gilmore.
The Northwestern has for years been
talking of extending its line from
Northwestern Wyoming to the coast.
The belief is current that when it does
so, it will traverse southern Idaho,
touching Boise, and on through central
Oregon to Coos bay. The Pittsburg &
Gilmore may be part of the North
western. If so, that road must be
planning to build branch to Seattle as
well, in which event, junction with
the Oregon line will be made in FIRE.
mont or Bingham counties near their
western line.
If it is not the Northwestern, then it
must be a Hill road, headed for the ir-
rigated sections of southern Idaho, or
for Salt Lake or Denver. Either of
these points are in line with its present
course Railroad men are watching it,
but are unable to fathom its meaning.
That it is not Short Line branch is
evident from the fact that the latter is
preparing to parallel it at once. Last
week plats were filed in Bingham
county covering a Short Line branch
from Cerro Grande, on the Mackey
branch, near the big buttes, fifty miles
north of American Falls, to Salmon
City. Another branch from the main
line to Butte, leaving that line near
High Bridge, and intersecting the
Cerro Grande branch near Kaufman.
The line as far as McCollum is to be
completed, so it is said, early next
spring, in time for the opening of the
Carey tract recently segregated in
western Fremont county.
The situation is an unusual one, and
is the cause of much speculation.
