R0CKLAND ENTERTAINMENT
Program for Primary Entertainment
Friday Evening.

Friday evening, February is, in the
Brick hall at Rockland there will be an
entertainment which will be worth while
when the primary department of the
/ town school viii render a patrioticspro-
gram. The date so chosen the week
between Washington's and Lincoln's
birthdays is certainly betitting to the
nature of the entertainment. A very
lengthy program has been arranged and
will commence at 7:s0 sharp.
This entertainment is given for two
direct reasons. To more fit the little
ones for bigger work which will soon be
theirs in the school room, and the other
reason is to raise small fund which
will be used in the school room for sup
plies which are necessary in the teach
ing of the younger generation. The
good people of Rockland will doom this
occasion as they always do, turn out to
the last number of the family, and thus
will assist financially the school, be-
sides getting their moneys worth in
entertainment. By your presence you
Will not only assist but it will give en-
eouragement to the teacher and pupils
who have labored hard to make this the
best of its kind which has ever been at
tempted in Rockland. Following is the
program:

a, Tin Soldiers.
b. Flag Song.

LAUNDRY READY
FOR BUSINESS
Wheels Of Another Enterprise
To Turn Next Week.
American Falls Laundry Will Open for
Business Monday With the Most
Complete Outfit in Southern
Idaho.

One by one the enterprises which
have been talked of for American Falls
the past year, are coming into exist
ence. passing into the line of satisfied
ventures. The next to be added to the
LIST of new undertakings here is the
American Falls Steam Laundry which
will open for business Monday morning.
When the wheels begin turning they
will turn some of the latest and newest
machinery manufactured for laundry
work. capable of turning out the very
hest of work. In the selection of ma
chinery for this enterprise VIM.
Schmidt, the owner, placed his order
with the manufacturers for the COM
pete outfit of the best made and the
large building recently built is crowded
with shining machines of various kinds
for the different work laundry is called
upon to do.
Mr.. Carpenter, the active manager OF
the plant, who has been here for some
time installing the machines, says 1t IS
the most complete plant he has ever
been in, and he is a laundry man of
much experience in various places. Mr..
Carpenter worked several years in the
east and after coming west spent
some time in the Boise laundry and is
thoroughly familiar with every branch
of the work.
The building is situated on the bank
of the Snake at the end of Second
street near one of the natural springs,
for which this section is famous, which
will supply an abundance of the purest
kind of water. The spring is several
feet across and by erecting small
dam across the head any amount of
water can be obtained. Electric power
will be used to operate the new ma
chimes.
A wagon will collect and deliver
laundry twice a week to any part of
American Falls, and thus do away with
the present method which takes ten
days to receive laundry. Agencies will
be established in various towns. tribu-
tary to this place and the management
feels that they can compete with any
laundry doing business in southern
Idaho. They will employ ten people
at first which will mean three or four
new families for American Falls.
1t is indeed gratifying to those who
two years ago came here and cleared
sagebrush and have since seen people
from all corners of the earth come here
and invest their capital, erecting build
ings some costing in the neighborhood
of $4,000, and sharing with them in
the belief that American Falls will be
great city, and now within the past two
weeks we have reported two new enter
prises which have began operation and
which represent capital of 100000.

TRIAL COMES
TO SUDDEN END
Basis of Agreement Reached
Before Jury Was Secured
All Prosecutions for Illegal Sale Of
Liquor Suspended Upon Promise
That Laws Will Hencefortb
Be 0beyed.

The trial Of George Taylor. the coI-

charge Of selling liquor. came to snd-
den end Tuesday before the iurv was
completed The case was adionrne5
until March 5. and the defendant ~
leased upon his own recognizance
This action was the result of the
preston Of a desire on the part of the
offending parties, to place themselves
IN harmony with public sentiment II
tnls matter, and the giving of a pledge
tnat from now on they would obey the
laws.
The proposal was timely. for com
plants had been filed ia two more vii
lage cases, and Sheriff Stevens was
here for the purpose Of serving war
rants IN county cases. As there has
been no malice in the. prosecutions If
was an easy matter to reach an agree

D. r. Gish agreed to close his place Of
business and remove to his farm. "
A West has stored his liquor in the
basement Of his building and surrepd-

and conduct a pool and billiard hall.
Public opinion favors the settlement
OF the matter upon the basis agreed
upon, and an era of good feeling has
been restored.
The evidence upon which Taylor was
arrested, was secured more than
month ago. 1t was not the intention
to arrest him for some time, but he
was arranging to leave town. and
warrant was served Saturday as he was
70 board a train. There were
many counts against him, and at least
one more in the near future would have
been filed The appealed cases will not
be prosecuted, and there is no doubt but
that American Falls from now on will
be model dry town.

alleling the present line, strike into new

the present line has to haul against a .
