"ST. ELMO"
First of Belasco Shows May Come
Here.

The date of Wednesday, May IS, is
being held for the possible coming to
American Falls of Balasco's "St.
Elmo" company, with picked cast of
players, and complete and new scenic
production.
The book of st. Elmo has been read
by the past and present generation
until it has almost become a household
story, and staged with the master gen.
ius of Mr.. Belasco, it is one of the
dramatic sensations of the current sea-
son, and has enjoyed 40 weeks run in
New York, and three weeks in both
San Francisco and Los Angeles.
After week in Portland, it will play
a limited number of dates into Salt
Lake and Denver, en- route East.
''St. Elmo" is blazing the trail for
other Belasco attractions, and wherever
this-Mr. Belasco's first offering is
greeted with generous patronage, he
will book all the other Belasco sue
cesses. His word, to this effect, is
passed to Mr.. John Cort, and to all the
resident managers, therefore a full
house for tSt. Elmo" means something
to our dramatic future, as it secures US
such plays as The Music Master, ;"
''The Girl of the Golden West, . Rose
Of the Rancho, ''Sweet Kitty Bel
lairs" and others, up to a round dozen.
The million dollar merger between
Belasco, Oliver Morosco and George L.
Baker of Portland, whereby it became
/ possible to control these world success
es for the West, means the best in the
/ theatrical workshop for the Pacific
Coast, and to insure success a special
/ agent will arrive hear in a few days,
to ascertain if sufficient encouragement
of patronage can be depended upon to
warrant the signing of contracts.
I In the event Of success. the sale of
seats will be open one day in advance
/ of the regular sale for the benefit of
all subscribers.
It will help matters to give names
for seats to Mr.. ElIinger at once, be-
fore agent arrives.

Notice

The rates charged for service in the
Auto Livery business are based on the
assumption that time is valuable, and
that ones patrons wish to be carried
with the greatest degree of comfort,
and with the least possible annoyance
to themselves. In meeting these con-
ditions it is necessary to establish rates
which are somewhat higher than those
of others in the livery business. We
offer to the public the best service at
the lowest possible rate consistent with
business principles, and at considerably
less than is paid for like service in other
localities. After fair trial we find
that it is necessary for us to make a
slight advance in our rates, but they
are still within the purse of all who
want the class of service which we
offer. Forget it aud ride with US.

large as that of Mr.. Davis. Mr.. SpaId-

he put out about 1000 trees, some two

number of farmers in the Aberdeen
country who have from FIVE to ten acres

their acreage. In a few years the
growing OF apples will be quite an in

in the Power City with Joe Jacobson as
manager. Mr.. Jacobson has been with

ems ready to wear clothing. The new
building in the Power City was built by
DIR. Sykes and is located in the center

LOSE GOOD CITIZEN
Frank F. Perkins Takes a Step Higher
Upward.

Frank F. Perkins, manager of the
Mutual Telephone Company, who re-
Gently associated himself with Charles
Bentley, D. w. Davis, E. E. Earring and
j. B. Holloway in the organization of
the Snake River Valley Land Company,
has temporarily, at least, left American
Falls. He will work among the farm
ers of the central states, stimulating
an interest in lands in the vicinity of
American Falls, Rockland, Landing,
Yale, and the lands under the American
Falls canal system. While he will be
lost to the community his new position
will enable him to do more effective
work for the development of this local
ity than he has been able to do in the
past.
Mr.. Perkins is one of the most highly
esteemed men who have been attracted
to this locality during the past three
years. He came here about a year ago
as manager of the Mutual Telephone
company which purchased the plant and
good will of the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone company at this place, and
transformed a service which was only
an aggravation into one of the very
best. No town IN the entire country
has better service and better equipment
than American Falls due to his persis-
tent application and excellent manage
ment. After giving American Falls
good service, the company built a
splendid line into Aberdeen and now
has one under way to RockIand. RuraI
service to farmers along these lines
will be given as soon as the company
can get around to do so. Mr.. Perkins is
a result-getter, and this whole section
will soon feel the effect of his labors ir
the immigration of a desirable class OF
homebuIlders. The Commercial Club
gave a smoker in his honor Monday
evening, attended by about forty of the
leading citizens and members of the
club, and complimentary remarks con.
cerning his good character and useful.
ness were made by many members
His leaving is matter of general re
gret. His family will remain here fol
the present, but they expect to remove
in the near future so as to be near him

the occasion Of our first interview-he
told me ne was going to resign.
But he didn't resign during the trans
action.
Miss Chamberlain-You impression
was, though, that you really had to
deal with Mr.. Church favorably in order
to get things presented to the board,
was it not, Mr.. David?
Well, you can draw your inference.
1t is the inference that | drew, and vet
1t was tempered all the time by his at
titude that he had a right to do this,
and the things that he was doing with
reference to this sale are things that, if
ne had been a real estate man or
lawyer outside of the office, he would
have a perfect right to do. and the
only thing was, that being in the office
he wouldn't have right to do them
morally, and | think we discussed the
political considerations also, but as far
as his saying that for a certain consid-
Grafton he would take things through
the the land board, it was not discussed.
Some things have been said to the
governor that are not said before the
board, and that is why we are placed in
rather embarrassing position. If you
will make to US the same strong state
ments that you have made to him the
members of the board could see it in
the same strong light.
| don't know anything about your
mental attitude, but from the fact that
you are an officer of the atate, you
have pretty high one in the state.
But what more do you want than the
Endorsement on the back?
Not that we would need it, but |
know that the members of the board
haven't had the some strong statements
made to US by anybody; we are just
getting at it lately, and it places US in
position that is not pleasant, that was
all. | wanted it just as strong to US
as to the governor. l think the gov.
ernor is acting according to his owr
best judgment: he is honest and means
to be just in his actions, but we haven't
been able to get hold of things, and we
are members of the board, and that is
what we ought to have, the same fact:
presented to US.
Governor Brady-I wish to say at thi.
time that think Mr.. David has said al
that any professional man could say il
his position, and that if any member O

THIS CITY ON CIRCUIT
Best Attractions on the Coast to Visit
American Falls.

The Messrs Shuberts announce that
they have entered into a business ar
rangement with John Cort, who con-
trolls all of the theatres in the north
west and on the Pacific coast, number
ing moce than $50, whereby John Cort
has adopted the policy of the open door,
the one for which the Shuberts have
been fighting for more than year and
which lately has been adopted by Jul
ius Calm and his circuit of two hundred
theatres throughout New England and
NJ. Ries and his circuit of one hundred
theatres in New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Maryland and New Jersey.
Under the management of the Messrs
Shuberts and Liebler & Co., their at
fractions will be seen for the first time
on the Pacific coast in several years.
Part of the agreement with Mr.. Cort is
to the effect that he shall be supplied
with thirty first class attractions at
once. The arrangement was imme-
diateIy complied with by Messrs Shu-
berts and their allies, including William
A. Brady, Liebler & Co., Lew Fields,
Fred c. Whitney and Daniel V. Arthur,
ard in the next two weeks their unpar-
alleled strong line of attractions will
move towards the Pacific coast.
A letter from G. 7. Hood, assistant
general manager of the Northwestern
Theatrical association, to G. S. Ellin-
ger, manager of the Auditorium here
says that they have placed American
Falls upon their coast circuit for these
attractions. The letter follows:

rical circuit managers, such as julius
