A band OF real Indians, and what Is
more wonderful, an Indian musical
ouartet are included In the cast pre-
senting Joseph LeBrandt's thriller,
Through Death Valley" in the WHIT
ney theater, this week. The play was
one of the big. hits of the whitney 5
1903 season and has lost none OF its
drawing power. The western atmos'
phere is strong throughout, and the
scene painter has done his full share
toward providing picturesque locale.
The Indian musical quartet Is real

but rather from an educational stand
point. Indians. II is we'll known, are
not long on harmony, and that these
red men, by persistent training, nave
learned TO blend their voices and, fol-
low a musical score without making a
mess of II is rather remarkable.

Corner Stone Laying

TIE corner stone laying of the
Baptist church was carried out ac-
cording to program on Wednesday
afternoon. The congregation met
at the Methodist church at 3
O'Clock. Prayer was offered by Rev.
c. Shaw of the Christian church.
The Bible reading was given by
Rev. S. a. Parker of the Presby-
terlan church. Mayor E. NJ. Reilly
made the introductory adrdess on
behalf of theCity of Emmett. Rev.
H. f. Cullison OF the Methodist
church brought greetings from the
other denominations. Rev. w. P.
Lovett, pastor of the First Baptist
church of Boise delivered the prin
cipgI address. The speakers en-
phasized the value of a church to
the community in both a moral and
commercial sense; the Importance
of anticipating future growth and
development, and the need of better
equipment that the church might
better accomplish its divine mis-
sion. Several congregational Sc
leCtions were sung. A special
quartette rendered an anthem, the
quartette consisting of Misses
Francis Rundstrom and Hazel
Franklin and E. W. M. Dav and
E. c. Rundstrom The congrega
ton then adjourned to the new
building. The stone was set in
place and the PRAYER offered by
Pastor T. G. Magruder. The stone
contains copy of the Pacific Bap-
tist, a copy of the Emmett Index,
several copies of the Idaho Baptist
Awakener, list of the member
ship of the church, one of the
building and pledge cards and a
copy of the corner stone laying pro-
gram Rev. w. P. Lovett preach
ed in the evening at the Baptist
church.

Differences Adjusted

Really, the hapDlest result OF the
Boise meeting was the obliteration
of all sectiunal differences. There
is now no North Side nor no South
Side, but united membership of all
the land owners uDder the canal.
Whatever friction may nave been
engendered in the past has disap-
peared like mists before the sun.
While the original contract of the
company with the state provides
that an association shall be formed
to be known as the Emmett Bench
Canal Co., Limited. the name in
fact cuts no figure, but will in
clude in its membership every one
who takes water from the canal.
AS soon as the papers can be pre-
pared. the company will be incor-
porated A meeting will then be
called to take action upon the
proposition of the canal company.
If the work of the committee shall
be ratified. the canal company will
at once get busy and push the work
of repairs and Improvements on the
ditch.

SHORT LINE GETS BUSY
Surveyors Working Between
New Plymouth and Boise.

The country between New Ply.
mouth and Boise is excited over the
appearance of crew of Short Line
surveyors who are surveying a
ioute from the terminus OF the
Punkin Vine at New Plymouth in
a southeasterly direction to Mid
dleton, thence to Boise by way OF
Star.
Considering the fact that the
Short Line is building another
line along Snake river, whic b
with the present road gives it two
main tracks as far as Notus, it IS
difficult to understand the object OF
another line, covering practically
the same territory. 1t really looks
like a game of bluff, and lends
color to the story that Hill has an
option on the Dewey line and in
tends to use it as a connecting link
from the Salmon river TO the
California coast. By having the
right of way in Boise valley from
Middleton to Boise, the Hartman
interests evidently are trying to
block Hills entrance to Boise from
Middleton. II is not likely that
the Short Line will ever 60 further
than to hold its right of way.

Another Pioneer Gone

The old settlers are gradually
passing away, and the men who
drove their wagons across the
plains in the sos and settled in this
valley will soon all be dead and
gone. The past year death has
claimed many of them, among them
being James M. Bigham, who died
Friday at his home near town.
Deceased crossed the plains in 1852
and settled in Oregon, near Cor
wallis, where he lived until 1865,
taking up a claim down the val
ley. where he made his home until
his death. For number of years
in the 70's he was a partner of II.
Riggs, Sr., in the cattle business.
He was born in Bates county, Mo-,
in 1912. His wife. whom he mar
rie in 1875, died nine years ago.
Three Children. a son and two
daughters survive him. Funeral
services were conducted by Rev.
Parker.

New Band Leader

Byron Turner, who for a year
past has been the faithful leader OF
the band, rendered his resignation
few days ago, and Clint Martin
has been induced to succeed him.
Mr.. Martin is very proficient
musician and has had considerable
experience as a band instructor,
and it is safe TO predict the splendid
musical organization which has
been built up during the past two
years will lose none of its prestige
under his leadership.
