ENTERTAINMENT COURSE.

Rich Treat Promised the People of
Richfieid This Winter.
The people of Richfield are to be
entertained this winter by five of
the best lyceum attractions to be
had on the western circuit. There
will be one high class lecture; one
male quartet; one clever imperson-
ator; one cartoonist and chalk-ta =
artist; and one rousing southern ju-
bilee concert. Advance Agent Eli
son was here the first of the week,
andcontracted for the presentation
of the five attractions They will be
brought here at intervals through
the winter; the first one in Noyem-
ber. the next one in December, and
the others at various times through
the season, the last one coming in
May. All the attractions are the
best to be had of their kind, and
every number will be a prize.
public meeting was held Monday
night, attended by a number of the
siness men of the town, where
contract was made for the five at
fractions. fractions.
AS there is no profit to any one in
the bringing of these entertainers
here, save the public profit that
comes through having a chance to
keep abreast Of the world and not
get all progress because one lives
in a small community, it is the du-
ty of every one, as much as any one
else, to boost for the lecture course.

it would be my pleasure to visit

Finish Up
This End of RichfieId- Boise Line Now
Ready for the Graders and the
Track-Laying Gang.

The railroad surveyors who have
been working almost steadily for a
year on the line between Owinza
and Boise, were in Richfield this
week, laying out the railroad yards
or this place, including two or three
"Y's" to give good transfer al
switching facilities
This is believed to be te last
surveying to be done, up to te final
construction work. The surveyors
are as silent as the grave about
their work, but it is learned from
other sources that they have secured
as fine a grade across the state as
my engineer could wish. 1t is un-
derstood that the maximum between
here and the summit is less til
IS of degree rise. The grade will
Ieavier on the other side, down
Boise river slope. The hardest
art of the construction is expected

POTATOE DIGGERS.
Richfield RuraIs Harvesting a Fine
Crop of High Priced Spuds.

Potato digging has exercised the
farmer population, and all the town
and other help they could hire, for
the past few days. The near ap-
proach of winter, as evidenced by
cold nights and days that are not
nearly as warm as they used to be,
has warned everybody out into the
fields to secure the crop So far as
reported, there have been no phen-
omenal fields in this locality The
general yield, however, is good, and
the price is high enough to make it
a good season for the potato grower
On the experiment station the pota-
toes yielded something like IT'S
bushels per acre. This was on new
ground---indeed, there was scarcely
any old ground on this tract, to
give chance for an playground re-
cord. A couple of years of alfalfa
and then thorough blowing, the
same preparation that other sections
make for record potato crops, would
enable the potato raiser to produce
almost as big a record here as he
really wanted to name. Lord Rose
berry, the English statesman. also
an enthusiastic agriculturist, has haf
as high as 1000 bushels, and more,
to a single acre. There.is no reason
to doubt that even that extraordin-
airy record could be reached here if
any one wanted to prepare for it.
While potatoes are not now sell
ing for a high price, there is a gen
eral belief that they will command
a fancy price next spring, some en-
thusiasts believing that they will go
as high as three or even four cents
a pound. In anticipation of this,
most of the potato growers here will
try to hold their crop until spring.

Grade is easy, but most Of it Will be
work Up on Camas Prairie,
the building should be almost as
laying out wagon road.
The Recorder representatives have
'scently travelled over a number of
niles of this route, and it surely is
railroad builders ideal.
AS to when the road will be built:
The Recorder has received no Of
otiee of the exact date. But
information available is
that construction will begin in the
spring; it would have begun this
all had the steel and other material
been available. 1t may be expected
that work will begin from Richfield
first, and get line up on to Camas
Prairie as soon as possible leaving
ne section from Owinza to Richfield
to be filled in later.
