Next Auditorium Attraction.

DO you remember the startling and
absorbing narration told by Augusta ].
Evans in the story of eSt. Elmo?" In
dramatic form it deals with the redemp-
ton Of st. Elmo Murray through the
patient examples of young girl.
st. Elmo was man of intellect. edu-
cation and refinement, who in his young
er days was a soul of generosity, truth
and goodness; through the deception
and baseness of a trusted friend it in
cites him to an act which DESTROYS all
but the brute in his nature. Until he
is 35 years of age he browns all virtues
in evil dissipation and vice.
A young girl, Edna Earl, comes into
his home through the charity of his
mother and by her examples and patient
forbearanee he is led back to his better
self.
There are many incidents in the play
to interest; delightful vein of comedy
and stirring dramatic story. There
also is touch of rural life most pleas
ing. The scenes range from picturesque
sunsets in the Lookout mountains to
society's most faddish homes.
Messrs. Lorch & Sutton have been
very fortunate in securing a very capa-
BILE company for this production and the
management promises a rare treat in
the dramatic line with this company.
As an artistic performance and an ex-
traordinary scenic production for popu-
lar prices much is expected. Auditor

Not All the Gold at Jarbidge.

there is in southern Idaho. While re-
pairing washout along the culvert in
front of Smiths Pharmacy last week,

in single shovelful of dirt. Mr.. Claus
sen is an old placer miner and was
greatly surprised to find such evidence
of richness in our streets. There is gold
all through the Snake river valley, and,
if some genius will devise a method of
saving it, every farmer will get rich.

DINNER UPSET.
Surveyors Diner Pushed in Street
Tuesday at Noon Hour.

A diner used by the corps of survey
ors working here on the survey for
double tracking the Oregon Short Line
was kicked into the street at Sixth
Street Tuesday at noon just as the crew
were ready to sit at dinner. The cars
used by this crew were standing on the
mill siding and while a switching crew
were working on the tract with long
string Of cars, the down grade was too
much for the engine and the train
pushed into the diner and sleeper, put
ting the diner clear off the track and
running the sleeper half off the grade.
The cars stood upright but the dinner
prepared for the boys was scattered
over the car and things changed around
generally. Only one man was in the
car at the time and he escaped without
a scratch and only the experience will
remain with him. A wrecking crew
soon went to work and the car will be
laced on the tract by the end of the
week. Considerable damage to the car
was done, as the rear trucks were torn
from the frame and the car otherwise
damaged. This is the second car which
has been run off at this point in the past
four months and each time a man was
caught in them, but no serious damage
resulted.

BUYS DRUG STORE
Aberdeen Drug Company Sells to Reg
istered Druggist.

Some time ago number of the en-
terpflslng young men of Aberdeen pur-
chased the drug store at that place.
which was about to be removed under
peculiar circumstances, and held the
property until buyer could be found.
This week deal was made with ]. T.
Dvorak, who will take immediate charge
OF the business. Mr.. Dvorak is a grad
uate of the Northwest university of
Chicago, where only the best pharma-
cists are turned out. He has had several
years of practical experience in the bus
mess, coming from Pocatello, where he
has for the past year had charge of a
drug store.
He visited Aberdeen few days ago
and became impressed with the possi-
bilities, and wanting to get into busi-
ness for himself, soon closed deal TAX
ing over the business.
The little town to the north is fast
coming to the front in business way.
and within very short time will be a
business center for the vast tract sur
rounding it.

Wind Storm in Washington.

A great windstorm must be raging in
eastern Washington tonight David
Burrell and DR.. J. F. Nee are there for
the purpose of inducing large part Of
the population of that locality to move
to American Falls and vicinity. The
gentlemen went as ENJOYS extraordi-
nary from the American Falls CONNER
cial club, and had their fares paid one
way. 1t is needless to remark that they
are not expected home for some time,
because it is a long way to where they
have gone and their prayerful appeals
for money have fallen on stony ground.
DR.. Nee was thing of great beauty
when he left, perfect picture of the
Prince of Prosperity. He wore Sl7
suit of clothes, white collar and his
shoes were faultlessly polished. He was
great joy to himself and plainly
showed it. Mr.. Burrell took along a
stack of government reports showing
that Idaho has the edge on every other
state in the Union in the production of
grains and grasses, and his spellbinding
talks has created furor wherever he
has gone. Both these men present a
good appearance, and, if they do not
stay too long in one place, may do lot
of good. If they are home sooner than
expected, it is a safe prediction that
they have worked confidence game or

INTO consideration it presented condi-
ton which can not be equaled in any
other agricultural section within his
knowledge.
1t is the great diversity of crops
which makes the section here so valu-
able, stated Mr.. Hit, and | might saw.
ne stated that this section of the valley
seems to excel in anything that can be
produced in an agricultural section.
This section of the state and the
Upper Snake River valley presents in
the opinion of Mr.. HIT the greatest
opportunity today for the young man or
any man to make profitable invest
ments.
AS the valley becomes better known
and 1T is being rapidly found out, the
development will come so fast that it
will be amazing, he stated, and within
the next five years a transformation is
to take place in the way of settlement
and development.

gard to the conditions of the live stock
OF the state in order to make a report

MOST PROSPEROUS
SECTION in WEST
Southern Idaho Enjoys This
Great Distinction.
No Other Region Can Compare With
1t in Development, Settlement
and the Creation of
New Wealth.

Don johnson, travelling representa-
tive of the Mergenthaler Linotype com
pany, the almost human machine which
does nearly everything in a printing
office but swear, was in American Falls
Wednesday, endeavoring to install
type-setting machine in the Press office
with good chances of success. Mr..
johnson says southern Idaho holds the
palm over all other sections of the west
IN development, which is the same as
saying it is the most rapidly developing
and prosperous regi IN in the United
States. He has just sold three lyno-
types in prosperous new southern
Idaho towns which his company did not
even know were on the map, and has
work enough to keep a man busy for
two months. So rapid has been the
growth that the company has arranged
to keep man in southern Idaho all the
time.
The Linotype company is one of the
most wide-awake in all the land. and
endeavors to keep in touch with the
development everywhere, and the com
pany was so greatly surprised by the
business Mr.. Johnson was turning in
that the San Francisco manager of the
company made trip through the state
last week to make a personal investiga-
tion, and is said to have received the
surprise of his life.
The development of American Falls
typifies the development of the entire
southern part of the state from Poca-
tello to Mountain Home. The farming
population here has quadrupled in two
years, and is to be largely increased the
present year. The town has more than
doubled. Our schools have grown from
three to ten teachers, and the enroll
ment doubled from January to Novem-
Der OF last year. We have a thousand
new farm homes. Such a DEVELOPMENT
IS remarkable, and indicates a region of
great merit. Development has only
begun, and the next few years will wit
ness change which will amount to a
transformation. Idaho has been grow
ing and will continue to grow because
the advantages are such as to attract
attention

VALUES ARE INCREASING
Study of Situation Will Convince That
Opportunity Is Here.

A. j. Hit, who represents Idaho and
parts of Washington and Oregon in the
interest of the department of agricul-
ture spent Saturday here in the interest
of his business and made the statement
that in all his travels over the irrigated
and other sections of the west that in
his opinion the Upper Snake River val
ley represents the greatest opportunity.
Mr.. Hit has been connected with the
agricultural department number Of
years and his work has taken him over
a great part of the irrigated sections Of
the country and he is in a position to
know what he is talking about.
He made the statement that taking
all things into consideration, the abun-
dance of cheap water, the soil condi-
tions, the climatic conditions, the deep
soil free from everything which so fre-
quently is handicap in other irrigated
sections, the cheap land all combined
to make this section decidedly in his
opinion the greatest IN the great irri-
gated section of the west.
Some other section, he stated, may
excel in some small particular, but when
the general average of grain, sugar
beets, hay, potatoes, fruits, berries,
dairy products, honey, creamery pro-
ducts, milling products were all taken

HAVE SET GOOD EXAMPLE.
Says American Falls Boosters Are of
the Right Sort.

G. V. Bryan of this city yesterday
sent to The Times office two very hand
somely illustrated booklets descriptive
OF American Falls, Idaho. Mr.. BRYAN
accompanied the booklets with a letter
as follows:-
Eureka, CAL, March II, 1910.
Editor Humboldt Times, City,
Dear Sir
beg to hand you herewith copies
of two advertising pamphlets issued at
different dates recently by the enter
prlslng citizens of the little 14O0 popu-
lation town of American Falls, Idaho.
whose Chamber of Commerce collected
over $4,000 in 48 hours to assist the
Oregon Short Line Is. P. R. RI, in
boosting" their little city. The rail-
road officials agreeing to distribute them
all over the Middle West and East and
South. r
Why can't Eureka business man and
realty owners, as we'll as all citizens of
Humboldt ''get move on them" and
get the cooperation of the railroad in
such splendid line of advertising? AS
former resident of Spokane, Wash,
recall the unanimous and enterprising
interest displayed by her citizens to in
duce the seekers for homes, and capital
seeking investment to see Spokane.
and thus find the ideal spot they were
seeking.
Spokane in my earliest days there
had only the Northern Pacific railroad
but now she has four transcontinental
lines, and many branch lines in all di-
rections, with electric lines centering
there like spokes in a wheel. What
did it? Boosting, raising money to ex-
pend in advertising. Sending men all
over the land to "boost." Having
agents on all incoming trains with lit
erature setting forth the merits, and
assured future of Spokane. Not one
to "knock" or hold back, but "a long
pull, strong pull and pull together,
resulting in comparatively few years
in the upbuilding of beautiful city of
over 130, 900 enterprising, energetic and
intelligent people.
Eureka has more, far more to boast
of than Spokane ever had to begin with,
and such united action on her part
would surely result in even greater
things than Spokane can boast. Will
she do it? G. V. Bryan.
