THE DAzzLERs. 5

Pete Curley, formerly leading con~ edian for Bla nche Ring, heads new burlesque organization called "The Dazzlers''. which will be seen at the Park Theatre, Thursday, Friday and saturday with daily matinees. The company will present a new two-act burlesque. called sDugan, the Deputy, and the fact that responsibilite rests entirely with Leon Errol. who is the principal comedian of Ziegfeld's Fol- lies, justifies anticipations of a pro- duction of rare enjoyment. Mir. Errol has long been known as a writer Of bright dialogue as well as a composer whose tuneful melodies have achieved |. unusually wide popularity. Also, he has successfully stage managed many productions that have met with mark ed success, and inasnrch as he has performed all of these functions for this new burlesque show gives ample assurance of it's worth. Of course there is the usual chorus of sprightiy girls, but in this instance it is said that their numbers are greater and that their vocal abilities excel those of the chorus girls usually seen in burlesque shows.

NEW LAW HITS

PARCELS Post Causes Trouble for
Star Route Mail Co1Etr7actOrs.

The parcels post law, which
goes into effect New Years day,
is responsible for a great deal OF
anxiety on the part of star route
mail contractors, who see ruin
staring them in the face unless
the postal authorities grant them
relief.
The new law provides that any
package, excepting liquids or ex-
plosiyes, weighing II pounds or
less may be seEt through the
mails. The law under whith the stat
route contractors are now operating
and under which they signed their
contracts places the maximum
weight limit Of packages at four
pounds Working under the pre-
sent regulations the contractors OBJ
tain a large portion of their re-
venue from the carrying of packages
over four pcur6s in weight. The
new law will deprive them of this
revenue. That, in brief, is the bur
den of their complaint Under the
new law, the contractors say,
chair, or IieCe Of furniture OF
light weight, tools and various
kinds Of merchandise may be sent
by mail and the only prov: sion re-
quired is that the weight is not
over IL pounds. Many Of the con.
tractors now operating in Idaho are
required to use pack horses and in
many instances men with snowshoe
to insure the safe delivery of the
mail in winter. The carrying of H.

The above tells the story of the
revenue derived iron mature app {
orchard in the Emmett country. 1t
is one of the very few orchards of
a commercial size in this section
that have TeaCh he'd mature age,
and the data given, vcuched for by
the owner himse f, as well as by
those in charge of the harvesting of
the Crtp, is valuable in that it
shows what can be expected from
the several thousand acres of young
apple orchards, which will reach
their full bearing state within the
next two or three years. 1t also
proves mcst oenviI eingly that the
Emmett apple will make as enyiablt
reputation tcr quality that the
Emmett peach has already gained.
More than that, it means that
the day of cheap land in this sec
tion will soon be passed, ard that
a very few years land selling at
from 5000 to $500 per acre will
jump to $1,000, $500 and even
$4,000 per acre, because it will be
worth it for the reason that it will
pay big interest on the investment.
