EXTENSION OF
THEG. &P.R'Y.
Capital News Tells of Favor
able Report Rife in Boise
Railroad Circles.

Boise Capital News: Activity
on the part of the hackers of the
Gilmore & Pittsburg railroad in
its western extension out of Sal
mon City, the present terminal,
is the news that drifts into Boise
railroad circles. With the incom-
ing of spring, railroad reports
begin to arrive, but local railroad
men familiar with the situation
declare there is now no question
but that the Gilmore & Pittsburg
has made its plans for western
extension and is backed by the
powerful Hill interests. The re-
cent reports indicate that the ex-
tension work is to be along the
Salmon river towards Lewiston
instead of southeast towards
Boise. The activity of the Harri-
man system in this state is said
to be responsible for the display
of energy on the part of the Gill
more & Pittsburg.
Advices have reached this city
to the effect that crew of engin-
GERS of this road is now enroute
to the Salmon river in the White
bird district, north Idaho, for the
purpose of closing up some of the
details of the survey made from
Salmon to Lewiston.
1t has been understood for sew
eral weeks past that the Gilmore
4 Pittsburg people were becom-
ing active in the work outlined
for the present year and the first
move made was the letting of
the contract for the construction
of it's line from Armstead to Twin
Bridges which will give tine road
a. connection with the Northern
Pacific, and discloses at last the
affiliation of the road with the
Hill interests.
Assurances have been received
here that the Salmon river Line
will be built to Lewiston, pos
sibly the work starting the pre-
sent year from the Lewiston end.
Last year the surveyors under
Locating Engineer l.. G. Roberts
completed the surveys in Lewis
ton, after which further work was
abandoned.
The fact that the Hartman in
terests have been active in com
pleting it's negotiations for the
purchase of right-of-way and ter
minals at Charleston, the details
of which are now being closed
up, is said to have spurred the g
& p. interests to action, and ther
is the possibility of the rival lines
fighting for the traffic of the
Lewiston country through the
construction of the Salmon river
line by the G. & p. and the
Snake river line by the Hartman
, system

WILL PLAY BALLAT
NEW PARK SUNDAY

A game has been planned for
next Sunday at the new ball park
between the Regulars and pick of
the outside world, which it is be-
lieved will be hot enough prop
osition to enthuse the fans to at
least "a in the shade.
Grangeville has never owned
in fee simple as much base ball
material in it's entire history as
at the present period, and there
is lots of it that there really is
not much choice between--a kind
of a shake-up as to which is best
and that condition of affairs
is what is going to make things
interesting here this summer, and
is what should make this first
game a matter of clear guess
work.
As stated, the quantity of base
ball material is ready at hand
but as to the matter of quality
Everybody seems to be guessing

BETTER SWEAR OFF.

Violators of the state fish and
game laws are sure to get their
just deserts during 1911 and 1912
as Idaho county is to be
thoroughly policed by the deputy
wardens of the state. Idaho
county, which occupies one sew
enth of the area of the entire
state, is the habitat of more big
game than all the balance of the
state. During the past years
hunters from the eastern states
have been crossing the divide
from Montana and slaughtering
our big game. This will be i'm
possible now as every pass in
the Bitter Root mountains will
be guarded by a deputy game
warden. Game wardens will also
be on the move all over the cOun-
ty and woe be to the violator of
the law, for he is sure to be
caught.
Deputy Game Warden Joe b.
Wade has received the licenses
for 1911 and has already sold a
number of them. He will place
them on sale at practically all the
towns in the county that are in
cluded in his territory. Warden
Wade is over in the Ferdinand
country this week investigating
the alleged killing of prairie
chicken.

LOST VALUABLE COLLIE.

To all friends | have reason
to believe that my tri-colored
Scotch Collie dog, about eighteen
months old, was stolen upon the
streets of Lewiston, ON Sunday
the Sth day of April. 1t is more
than probable that he has been
taken to the country for use of
some sheep or cattle camp or
ranch.
Believing that you all have an
appreciation of the attachment
one has for his dog, should you
learn anything about the where
abouts of the dog, | will ask you
to advise me at the land office in
Lewiston. He has quite pointed
nose, head black and brown, wide
streak of white around the collar
and on breast, bunch OF white on
left side of neck was recently cut
out leaving the hair somewhat
short there. Back black, and tail
black, brown and white; answers
to the name of Argyle.
| shall be very grateful for any
information leading to the recov-
cry of the dog, and will pay suit
able reward. Very truly yours,
T. H. BARTLETT.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS EARN
MUCHPRAISE AND SOME MONEY
The Upper School Youngsters Under the Sku Direction
of Superintendent King, Make Great Hit With
Comic-Drama; "A Night of Duplicity"
(By Harold Harris.)

was all that the part demanded.
Her several scenes, many of which
called for unusual ability, were
given an intelligent and tempera
mental rendition.
Perfectly natural and always
at ease was Miss Parker in the
part of Teresa" a maid. The
part was one that admitted of
considerable elaboration and Miss
Parker made the most of it in
her dainty and winsome way.
Alfred Sempert gave a strong
reading of the exacting role of
Marcus Brutus Booth, an ac-
tor of the old school, a gentleman
of the "legit," that has caused
the immortal fame of John Nc
Cullough, peer of tragedians, to
pale, temporarily, into insignifi-
canoe. Sempert work was ex-
ceedingly well done and ranks
among the best in the play.
John McEvers completely sub
merged his own personality into
oblivion for the evening and
came forth as "Justinian Hor-
ton," a professor of history. A
correct impersonation of this
quaint old man demands world
of clever character work and the
manner in which McEvers ham
died the part was a revelation
to all.
In the genteel role of Jack
Cameron Charles Branscombe
was particularly pleasing. He en-
tered into the spirit of the thing
with the same enthusiasm and
| energy that he does everything
else and he made brilliant sue
cess of it.
What may be said of Ralph
Clarke as doctor Ostler is also
true of Orrin Riebold as "Lord
Cameron. Both played their
parts well, omitting nothing and
sustaining the characters in a
manner thoroughly in keeping
with the high standard of the
presentation as a whole.
The musical numbers rendered
during the evening were greatly
enjoyed. The orchestra under
the direction of DIR. Riggs, was
an appreciated feature. The per
sonnel included DR.. Riggs, violin
Thos. Matott, cornet and Miss
also tuned up" at the rear OF
Vera Allen, pianist.
Piano selections by Mrs. P. M
Glanville, whose performance
have delighted Grangeville aud
fences for years and who on this
occasion was encored heartiel
than ever, and cello solo by
DR.. Riggs, an excellent number
we'll played, constituted the spec
ialties between acts. The banC
also tuned up at the rear o
the hall during one of the scene
in selection fully up to the re
quirements of the event.
The high school base ball club
, for the benefit of which the pla,
was given, received about $l2
from the proceeds, which afte
all expenses are met, will plac
the team on a solid financial foo
ing.

BROUGHT IN THE PELTs.

1t carries one back to the old
Hudsons Bay Company days to
hear a report like Ed Wiley
brought in last week from his
trapping trip to the Buffalo
Hump country. Total returns OF
$500 cash from furs caught In
less than six weeks is not to be
sneezed at even in these days OF
high wages and stiff prices. The
trapper brought in thirty marten'
a silver-tip fox, two or three
lynx, and a miscellaneous assort-
ment of common furs.
Wiley says this winter has beer
the best for trapping during his
several years experience in this
section, and attributes the unus-
ually favorable conditions this
season to the forest fires last

FARMER IS WAREHOUSE.

The material is being assemb-
led on the ground for the con-
struction of the Farmers ware
house near the local depot. One
car of lumber was received last
week and two more will come
the latter part of this week. and
it is expected that work will com
mence within a few days on the
structure. The building will be
6Ox280 feet in dimensions, and
the Knorr sidetrack will be ex-
tended up to it.

year which drove the animal
kingdom from the high up fast
nesses of the mountains to seek
protection in the gulches of the
lower attitudes, where they have
since remained, and being con-
fined to a smaller territory a
larger number of traps could be
looked after with far less exer-
tion, hence the results. Wiley
started trapping last December,
and has since made three ship
ments of furs which have netted
to him something like $3.50. He
will make one more trip into the
Hump, where he says there is yet
some ten feet of snow.

and that is the problem yet to
be solved-have we the quality
to take them all into camp as fast
as they show up against us. This
question can be answered better
later in the season; as to how it
will be answered depends largely
upon the players themselves, and
one or two other things.
The work of grading, harrow
ing and dragging of the grounds
is about completed and makes
things show up in pretty good
shape; the work on the grand
stand and stockade is progressing
and about next week things will
be in good shape for active work
The game planned with Reu
bens for the 26th will not mater
ialize, owing to conditions which
have arisen, but other arrange
ments are under way for game
with an outside team in the very
near future. In the meantime 1
hot warfare will be waged among
the local talent so that there viii
be no lack of practice, nor list
lessness nor apathy.

COMMERCIAL
CLUB ELECTS
Interesting Meeting; Number
of Sensible Talks; Dues Re-
duced One Half.

interesting meeting at its quart
ers last Thursday evening, at
which a number of matters of
material Importance to this COM
munity and the entire county
were considered, in addition to
the fact that it was the date for
the annual election of officers.
Richard Burke, of North OAK
ota, brother of the governor of
that state was present and de-
livered booster address, in
which were presented many
practical suggestions for the
benefit of our town and county.
Mr.. Shones, of the Pine Creek
dairy of Spokane was also pres
ent by invitation, and gave a
practical talk on the develop
ment of dairy interests. A COM
mittee was appointed to confer
with Mr.. Shones on the possibil-
tiles of his company establishing
a creamery here, and at the time
of his departure from our city
he announced that he believed
such action would be taken
by his people.
Among the suggestions offered
during the meeting was that of
A. F. Parker, chairman of the
Good roads committee, request
ing authority from the Club to
communicate with the Grange
Vile City council and the Board
of County commissioners for an
appropriation to be expended
within and without the city linn
its by an expert road builder to
be sent here by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. Mr..
Parker has corresponded with
the department and received its
assurance that if the community
will furnish the labor, teams, ma
terials and tools, the department
will, upon request, supply an en-
gineer to superintend the con-
struction of from one-half to one
mile of object lesson road. Mr..
Parker further suggested that IN
event the plan could be carried
out, the commissioners could or
der all road supervisors to at
tend and witness the cOnstruc-
ton, and if the farmers will CO.
operate by attending the same,
it will not be long until each
farmer will have road drags in
use to improve the roads along
their property lines, and then the
road question will be solved with
practically no expense to the tax
payers. From the correspondence
with the department of agricul
ture Mr.. Parker is assured that
dirt roads can be made as solid
and enduring as the rock of ages
with only occasional dragging
after rain. Such roads are il
general use in the middle states
and are very cheaply built anc
easily maintained.
A good spirit prevailed through
out the entire meeting, and a de
termination to accomplish mor'
the. year than ever before in thu
history of the Club was manifes
on all sides. When it came t.
the election of officers the fol
lowing gentlemen were unani
mously selected to guide the des

coming year:

triumphant anu SucccSS1ul III
the veriest definition of those ap-
propriate and expressive adjec-
tives, was the production of "A
Night of DuplicityH by high
school students at the opera
house Monday evening. The play
was greeted by a critical and ap-
preciative audience, agreeably
large and enthusiastic, and the
efforts of the budding thespians
evoked well deserved applause
at the conclusion Of every act
and at various and numerous in
tervals. The characters of the
piece, in every instance, were ad-
mirably portrayed. AT no time
in the delineation of his or her
part did any one of the young
sters drift away from the
characterization-a fault very
common and, in truth, almost un-
avoidable with amateurs in home
talent theatricals. Another not
iceable feature equally commend
able was the degree of excellence
attained by the participants in
memorizing the "lines" of the
piece and the general ease and
proficiency with which they were
delivered. In fact the product
ion as whole was an agreeable
surprise and a pleasant treat to
all and in the opinion of many
the best home talent production
in the annals of amateur histrion-
ism of the city.
Without intent to detract
from the praise or glory of the
students who participated in the
piece, first mention should be
made to the credit of Prof. King
for his judgement in the select
ion of such a suitable play, for
his highly successful work in
his incessant and painstaking
efforts at rehearsals and lastly
the capacity of director. When
one considers that this was the
initial appearance of each and
every one of the players in a
dramatic production, it will be
seen that his task called for mucl
tact, patience and ability.
The male characters of the
piece were cleverly impersonated
by Alfred Serpert, Charles Brans
combe, John McEvers, Ralph
Clarke and Orrin Riebold, while
the gentler sex delineations were
in the capable hands of the Miss
es Laura tLanningham, Grace
PEBBLES, Mary Long and Lydia
Parker.
Miss Lapningham appeared t.
advantage in the delightful roll
of Theodore Horton" combin
ing her well known ability as al
elocutionist and reader with 1
pleasing stage presence and per
sonality of pulchritude. Her POI
trayal of the part was prett.
near the professional standard.
