The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1910-03-01

From reliable sources in Sal
mon City, We learned yesterday
that the Pittsburg 4 Gilmore
people have completed their sur-
vey up the Salmon river, With
Boise as the objective point and
a right-of-way for "a miles up
the river to Challis and Clayton
has been secured and contract
let to Macarthur Bros to prepare
the grade. The road will follow
the course of the Salmon river
and after leaving Clayton viii go
south until it gets over the head
waters Of the south fork of Boise
river. A corps Of engineers has
been working for months on the
headwaters of the south fork
and it is understood that . tun-
mel 1900 feet long and with an
easy grade will be driven. That
the Pittsburg 4 Gilmore people
are pushing things with all pos
sible haste is evident from the
fact that at Armstead now there
is &C, 900 tons of steel rails which
are being laid as fast as the men
can lay them
While the engineers have been
securing the country east of here
for the past six months, and
have been surveying in several
different places, the letting of
the contract for the "a miles up
the Salmon to Challis and. Clay
ton and its purchase of right-of-
way is the first step taken by the
railroad people towards the
building of the line from Salmon
City to Boise A man who is in
a position to know declares that
work will 0e started just as soon
as the weather opens.
The hardest task that the en-
gineers have had in hand was
the Survey for the line over the
mountains and into the head
waters of the south fork of the
Boise river. The fact that q
tunnel of only 76O0 feet wilfhave
to be driven, and on easy grade
at that, is said to be perfectly
satisfactory to the Pittsburg l.
Gilmore people. 1t was at first
thought that the road would go
south from Salmon City to juno
ton. thence to Gilmore. thence
south to Arco and then west in
the direction of Boise.
The new route will not only
cut OF q large mileage, but it
will follow q water grade all the
way, touching hitherto undevel-
oped and rich country. The
people interested in Lemhi and
Custer counties are very much
excited over the prospects for
the coming year and declare that
not only will the new road be =
boon for the counties east of
here. but will bring capital, and
lots of it, from the east. Mining
properties rich in their possibil-
tiles, but untouched because OF
the fact that they were miles
from any railroad or prospective
road, will now be developed and
there will be much prospecting
the coming year.
1t is said from authentic sour
: ces that the C. & N. will come
over this road and through tc

discovered the North Pole, was
one of the very best characters
present. But for ugly masks.

collected in advance from S to

write-up, and two or more of our
citizens invested, but the Blue
Book never came, nor was the
money refunded.
E. F. Camnbell and John Cal

line which is to be built as soon
as the material can be collected.
When completed the line will
connect with the Woods Home
ranch, giving the valley cem-

Challis and Ferney. This line
will be a great convenience to
the people of May and vicinity.

ROME IMPRESSED
BY MRS. LE|SHMAN
Beauty of New American Ambas-
sador's Wife Makes Her
Favorite in Society.

ROME, Jan. 13.-The king ana
queen have just given their reception
TO the diplomatic body. Mrs. Leish-
man was present. this being practical
| ly her Official entree into Rome so
ciety. She created a most favorable
impression among the beauty-loving
Italians. who know pretty women and
beautiful clothes when they see them.
A curious fact Is that Ambassador
Leishman cannot present his daugh-
ter, the Countess de Gontaut. .Biron. at
court. although he can other Ameri-
cans, as she married a Frenchman.
and. although a widow. is still con-
sidered a Frenchwomar. Therefore
1 the good Offices OF the French ambas-
sador will have TO be requisitioned
and the presentation will take place
almost at once. Airs. LeishmaD and
her daughter are staying at the Excel
sior hotel, together with the ambas-
sador and have been the recipients
of much hospitality on part OF the 9TH
er members of the diplomatic body
as well as the court. the Roman aris-
tocracy. and the American colony
Mrs. Leishman's first appearance was
at musicale given by Mrs. Crownin-
shield at the American Academy, in
the villa Mirafiore. where MIR. Leish-
man had already made himself popular
among the acadcmicians. All the no
liabilities OF the American colony were
there.
Admiral Field Of Washington, is In
Rome with his wife and daughter, on
their way TO Lausanne, where Miss
Field will be put TO school
Admiral aud Mrs. Moore are also
here, staying at the same hotel as Ad
miral and Mrs. Field.
An American girl. the Countess OF
Colloredo- Mannsfeld, (nee iselin, OF
New York;. has come out In a char
acter new TO aristocratic society here.
II appears that on her arrival in Rome
the countess engaged a cook who has
by no means the Gordon bleu." in
fact had quite a poor reputation as
first-class cooks go. When the count
ess gave her first dinner party the
guests were surprised TO find that not
only was the repast perfectly cooked
but that the menu included several
delicious dishes new to Rome.
In response TO inquiries the Count.
ess OF Colloredo- Mansfield srnilingly
confessed that she had taken lessons
In cookery and had herself taught her
cook how to prepare the special dishes
which had received particular approx
al. Many Italian society girls are now
declaring that they would like 10 take
cookery lessons. but, alas. there are no
classes here. and as IL Is much less
alluIinR TO go into your own kitchen
10 learn of your own cook than 10 at
tend a class. their desires may never
be carried into practice.

GUILLOTINING PHOTOGRAPHED
Authorities, However, Seize Films BE-
fore Paris Can See Them.

PARIS, Jan. l3-The cinematograph
is fast becoming a universal educator
for the multitudes who flock TO the
moving picture shows, which In Paris
are literally countless.
After faithfully reproducing a silly
duel AT the Pare des Princes some
time ago In which the two principals
acted like a couple Of nghting ban
tams hopping about the barnyard. first
on one leg and then on the other. the
next step for the unbounded enter
prise OF the cinematographists was 10
obtain films of an authentic guillotin-
ing.
A grand opportunity was supposed
to have arrived when the fiendish
slayer OF little girl was about To
have his head cut of at Montauban.
The snapshots were taken just at the
right moment. and no doubt the films
would have developed famously, and
next week the boulevardiers could
have watched the legal butchery To
their hearts delight.
Alas. there came woeful denoue-
ment. The authorities seized the ap-
paratus. the films. and the cinemato-
graphist. Whether this action will be
iudicially upheld remains to be seen.

FR0HMAN TO BUILD
POOR MANS THEATRE
Plans East Side Playhouse. Where
Latest Broadway Plays VIII Be
Given At Low Prices.

NEW YORK, Jan. l3.-Charles
Frohman Is TO build new theater on
the east side. in Rivington-st, II Is
announced, where the working classes
will be able to see all the latest
Broadway plays at low prices. the
highest-priced seat TO be so cents. The
theater is expected 10 be on the east
side what the New theater Is TO the
west side. IL Is expected 10 be in op
Grafton by next September, and II VII
be conducted in every sense as pool
mans theater. Mr. Frohman has ar
ambitious plan of having well-gnowr
playwrights like j. NJ. Barrie. Bernard
Shaw, and Henri Bernstein contribute
plays without royalty.
The name of the playhouse is TO be
The East Side Theater. and IL will be
unique in many ways. According &c
Mr.. Frohman IL is TO be place where
the working classes can see the best
that is to be had in the modern drama
acted by a capable company. headed
by succession OF prominent stars
Mr.. Frohman frankly states that his
plan is designed to increase the mum
ber Of people who want to see good
play.
In many instances 1t is expected
that prominent players will volunteer
their services in order TO keep the
venture self-supporting. The theater
will be located on or near Rivington-
St. where Mr.. Frohman now has un
der consideration a structure which
can easily be converted into good
sized theater.
"A great many new theaters have
lately gone up" said Mr.. Frohman
last night. "and a great many old ones
also. For the most part, | am inter
ested in building new plays. not new

II will add one more theater to the
list, but I. think il will make thou

MY plan Is TO have plays conufbut-
ed without royalty by playwrights Of
such prominence as J. NJ. Barrie. Ber-

ture will be kept self-supporting. AZ

BERLIN. Jan. I3.-By the invention

II is already possible TO send al

The secret OF television rests in the
almost human powers or the metal,
selenium. 10 appreciate light.
IL you see a white and black OBJ
ject together, your eye transmits to
the brain the knowledge that one Is
bright. the other dark.
The selenium cell used for televis'
ion is just like an eye. but ten thou
sand cells would be used so that your
head and shoulders. projected by a
lens onto a screen composed OF these
ten thousands eyes. would give 20
each the impression OF light and shade
corresponding 10 a different part OF
your figure.
The image OF a white collar would
perhaps fall on three or four adjacent
cells" and they would be bright,
Illuminated; the image OF a dark
eyebrow would fall on another. giving
IL dark 1. e.. less bright-illumina
ton. and SO on.
Your image. in fact. would be an
alyZed into ten thousand tiny con-
ponent parts. and each selenium eye
according to the brightness 1t saw
would vary the strength of an electric
current sent through it TO the person
watching for the teleyision image.
Sitting on chair at the other enc
