land are beyond criticism
Mr.. Priest is not a railroad build
er though he could doubtless be-
come one if he were not of greater
value in smoothing out the rough
places for the lines already built
at which he is a bright and particu-
lar star. He is a newspaper man of
wide experience, has travelled much,
and it is no new or strange sight
for him to see a bunch of COWS out
across the prairie or to look for
miles along the road for a house
that seemed friendly and dogless.
But in all his varied experience, he

ment and for building up a great
commonwealth never looked so at

so self-evident call to the outside
world, as the Camas Prairie country
offers today
The Central Idaho railroad, from
Owinza through Richfield and the
Camas Prairie on to Boise, is sur
Keyed through the general route ta-
ken by Mr.. Priest. The locating en-

Richfield are now somewhere on
the Prairie, working westward to

limits of the Boise land office dis

Wonderful Country
Joel Priest, Literary Artist for Short
Line, Sees Wonders Along The
New Central Idaho Road.

Joel Priest the eloquent, scholar
ly, good looking, genial and other
wise attractive Industrial agent for
the Oregon Short Line was in this
city last week. Partly to see Rich
field for herself, and partly to make
this a starting point for long trip
across to High Prairie, well on the
way towards Boise.
In both he was successful. He is
almost a stranger in Richfield---or
was until he had been here for 10
or IL minutes. Hewas here more
than year ago when the Boise
Boosters" came and were banqueted
with trout and other good things
indigenous to this country. And all
this time he has been riding on
pass and overlooking the good ad-
vantages right at his hand.
On his return from a trip of al
most 100 miles across the central
part of the state, Mr.. Priest said it
had been a real revelation to him.
Such miles of grain and hay, and of
fertile fields that could be titled
with profit if they but had trans
portation, he never expected to see
outside of the land of dreams. The
comparatively few people who are al
ready there are prosperous, but the
present prosperity is only a begin
ming of what will come with the ad-
vent of a railroad. While the alti-
tude is high, the climate is good,
and the productive qualities of the

There are some callow youth and

fine quality of brain, and a great
reward in purse, will be found in the
ranks of the farmers who raise al
falfa, wheat oats, pigs and melons.
There is a strong affinity between
Idaho alfalfa seed and automobiles,
between we'll bred colts and tours
of Europe, between harvesting of
beets and the buying of famous art
treasures. Would you find the af-
finity, and make it yours? The in
stitute college will bring the secret
to you; Aladdin-lamplike, it may be
yours for the asking.
All of which though fanciful is

two weeks, some time in the win

Pelxin. December S.-It was announced tonight that the ancient absolute regime in China will exist only historically aft CT the Chinese new year, in January, 1911 1t is stated that the throne has decided to accede to the resolution of the imperial senate, praying for the imme- diate creation of a constitutional cabi- net
 Political events in China have moved with a rapidity that appears almost rev oiutionary when it is considered that the provincial assemblies representing the first step toward popular government in the empires history of thousands of years were inaugurated so recently as October 14, 1909.
 The first imperial senate met on De- tober B. last. The late Empress Dowa- ger had decreed that general repre- sentative executive body, to be known as the imperial parliament, be convoked in 1915 at the end of a uine-year period of preparation. However, the people having had a taste of popular government were impatient and the senate soon after it was organized demanded the imme- diate conversation of a general parlia- ment. The throne and grand council yielded to the extent of advancing the date for the inauguration of parliament to 1al3 decree making this effective Icing promulgated on November 4. Ii

LONDON CRITICS SEE
 OPERA OF SALOME

London, December 9.--No other op- cratic event remembered in London ac- corded such a sensation as the first per- formance as "Salolne" last night. The censor who had previously prohibited the opera, consented to its rendition by the Berham company only on condition that John the Baptists head should not be exhibited and that other expur- cations should be made
 The recent withdrawal of the opera in Chicago enhanced the public's curi- osity and the application for seats far exceeded the capacity of Covent Gar den. which was packed with the prom inent members of London society The Finnish prima donna. Mme. Aino Aekto, took the part of Salone and Clarence Whitehall an American that of John the Baptist
 The papers say that the opera as presented was not more repuIsive than works like La Tosca and Carmen and that the Bowdlerized version does jus tice neither to Wilde nor Strauss

London, December S.--At the close Of the polling tonight in the general election the standing of the parties is as follows:
 Government coalition: Liberals 1H, la borites 2S, nationalists 45, independent na- tionalsts 6. Total PC.
 Opposition: unionist 19S.
 The fifth day of the elections ended with tie parties still running neck and neck and with the prospect that they will ceme under the wire in almost precisely the same relative position they held at the start Returns had been received up to midnight from the voting for 41e mem bers and the result is unionst gain of two seats In that number over those held by that party in the last parliament.
 This result is as unprecedented in Eng fish history as it is embarrassing to pol iticians of all factions.
 Both parties went into the election pre- dieting great gains.
 Both are now convinced that the new house of commons will be practically identical with the old.
 Discussion is now concentrated on the question of what the peoples verdict means, and what course shall be followed under such unexpected circumstances. The conservatives argue that Premier Asquith bid for a sweeping indorsement from the country and has not obtained it. sc. therefore he cannot be justified in fastening upon the nation such radical changes as home rule and the disarming of the house of lords.
 The coalitionists insist that the voters by returning them to power indorse their
