VILLIS-STORY WEDDING

Mrs. Nellie Willis of Blackfoot, and
Mr.. Sam Story of Burley, were quiet
ly married at the home of the brides
parents at Blackfoot on Thursday
morning at nine O'Clock, Rev. c. A.
Edwards, pastor of the Methodist E.

Only members of the family were
present, and after the ceremony was
performed the little company sat
down to breakfast. The morning
soon passed and the contracting par
ties took the 1912 train for their
new home at Burley, Idaho.
The bride is the handsome daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. N. Anderson
of this city, and the groom is one

they all liked him.
With the autoists busy passing the
word along that there is a bridge
and the local people telling trave-
lers that the ford Is the only way
and that it is all right for cars, and
with the commissioners of Bannock
county neglecting to put up signs, it
has become in interesting race for
the money.
The Doctor commends idaho peo-
Pile for advancement they have
made in good roads and general de-
velopmcnt of the country, but he re-
marked that they do not observe the
courtesies of the road so much as
they do in Utah. The Doctor says
There are so many men on the road
here with teams who keep the middle
of the road when you toot for passing
room, and they plod along as If de-
tormined to hold you back as long
as possible. Then when you do get
a chance to go by, you feel like cut
ting the horses knees and noses off
to get even. In Utah we have got
ten past that stage and most people
show a desire to give the other fellow
just what he needs. If the driver
has a shy h-rse the auto stops or
does whatever sympathy and courtesy
suggest. OF course this applies in a
general way, and so far as l have
Driven in Idaho I have seen less of
courtesy than in Utah"

DIR. August Belle. former Black
foot man who since his graduation
has been practicing in Salt Lake City
with marked success, came with his
wife and children to visit friends in
Idaho this week. They came through
on Tuesday in the Doctors car and
had delightful trip. He was much
interested in the road question, for
making good roads has been such a
popular subject and the good roads
enthusiasts have given business and
professional men so many good
chances to furnish the money to carry
on the work, the Doctor was getting
anxious to see what had been accom-
plished along the roads into Idaho.
The great bugbear to autoists for
long time has been the Ross Fork

Much has been done by Bannock coun
t. to get the latter in condition, but
at the crossing of Marsh Creek where
the road was intended to be closed,
no signboards were put up to direct
travellers to the bridge half mile
away, and some local pirates were
ever ready to tell autoists to take
the ford and they would get through
all right. Then after the car was put
out of commission in the deep mud
and water, the pirates would be on
hand to pull them out for Sc.

face, but who can listen. Most all OF
us can taIk-we do not always say
something, but we can chatter-but
how few OF US can really listen? Some
times it is rather tiresome to sit for
an hour or more listening to a dis
course on some dry subject or the
STORY Of my life" but nevertheless
the girl who Is an interested listener
is sought after. 1t Is well, though
not always easy, to forget the Il and
me and my and mine" that always
stands out in ones mind. This is
particularly the case with the girl
who is not yet out Of her teens. The
woman of maturer years is not so IL
able to speak of herself or, in fact,
to call attention to herself: she is
too much interested in those about
her and too busy helping others. But
the debutante at the opening OF her
first season is apt to be greatly taken
up with her own Importance.
None Altogether Homely.
There are very few, IL any, who
have not at least one good feature,
and even the plain girl who Is beau
tiful should have something attractive
about her. Perhaps one has good
teeth, and when a .homely mouth parts
to show even, pearly teeth, the mouth
is usually forgotten, particularly II q
smile or pleasant word can be de-
pended upon. Next to good teeth are
good eyes. The clear eyes that light
up with a friendly smile or when lis
tening to an interesting speaker are
attractive. Sometimes II seems as
though nature we're almost unjust in
her distribution of beauty, but when
one stops to consider the subject, al
though she might have been more
impartial, she has really not been un-
kind, for while, not everyone may
have an abundance Of physical
beauty, the inner lopeliness that
usually has to be developed and some
times almost acquired is far more
lasting. :: ...:a-s.t O.. ~.
Naturally, we would all like to have
both beautiful features and a beauti-
full disposition, but when one can not
have both, the remedy is to make the
best of the things that one does pos
sess. IL one were given the choice Of
pretty face and "a wholesome dispo-
siticn, the majority would probably

IN "AIkADO'
The Gilbert & Sullivan Opera
Proves Real Triumph for
the Juveniles

The Pollard Juvenile Opera Com
pany opened the hast week of its local
engagement last night in The Mi
kado" and simultaneously put on cas-
lily the best bill in which the Juveniles
have been seen here. In fact, it. is
not stretching critical judgment to say
that the +Pollards can do THE Mi
kado" in a really meritorious way,
and the famous Gilbert & Sullivan
opera was given perhaps the best in
depreciation ever seen in Honolulu.
Teddy Mcnamara. Leslie Donaghey,
Miss Eva Pollard. Miss Queenie Will
liams, Miss Nellie Mcnamara and
Miss Patsie Hill were the chief con-
tributing factors, with the entire COM
pany performing with unusual spirit
and understa nding Of the quaint hui
NOR OF this droli. exaggerated picture
of old japanese court life. The opera
is too familiar to need more than a
mention of its features. Teddy Nc
Namara starred, of course, as the lord
high executioner. hut Leslie Dona-
gheys aside from his inability TO make
his songs audible to the house, was
not far behind in comedy. Mrs Ev:.
Pollard was dashing and spirited
Nanki-Poo and Miss Nellie Mcnamara
was remarkably good as Katisha. In
fact; Miss Mcnamara deserves to
share the honCrs of very successful
evening. Miss Queenie Williams, al
ready mentioned in these columns as
precociously clever little lady, car
ried off her small role effectively and
Miss Patsie Hill was an adequate
Yum-Yum.
The musical direction was high
class and the show moved with snap
and precision that the many lovers of
this opera relished. The stage settings
were picturesque and the costuming
irreproachable. Altogether the COM
pany showed its true ability to be far
ahead Of what has been exhibited dur
ing its somewhat checkered engage
ment here 1t should play to good
houses during it's slhst week. -

stantial number of subscribers, no fin
ancial support would be asked until
after the company had displayed its
merit, a pleasing departure from Or
binary methods of securing subscrip-
tons. The company would be here
during the height of the tourist sea
son.
Grand opera for Honolulu is q
scheme talked over here several times
in the past, but nothing has material
ICED until now. 1t has heretofore
been felt that the risk Of financial loss
was too great.
It is the intention to secure either
the Lambardi or Bevani grand opera
organizations, and as both impressa-
rios have expressed themselves as
willing to bring their aggregations OF
singers here it remains for enough
encouragement to be given by the
theatergoers, to make the thing an
assured fact.
The Mario Lambardi company will
shortly begin its annual season in San
Francisco, after which 1t will be able
to visit Honolulu any time from De-
cember to February, while Bevani can
not include Honolulu in his itinerary
before January.
OF Lambardi's singers the San
Francisco press has been unanimous
in it's praise, the company having a
repertoire Of twenty operas. Among
them are la Boheme," :, "Tosca, ' Ma
non Lescaut" and Madame Butter
j fly" by Puccini; "Cayaleria Rusti-
cana" AMIGO Fritz and ''Isabeau,"
by Mascagni; "Lohengrin," tWagner)
and Chopin" by Orefice; That's" by
Massenet; Fedora" by Giordano;
. Aida" "Rigoletto," "Traviata," and
I'll Troyatore," by Verdi; Lucia" and
Favorita," by Donizetti; "Salome" by
Strauss; "Conchita" and I'll Grillo del
Focolare" ("The Cricket on = the
Heartily, by G., zandonat ~.
The principals are all excellent sing
ers, some of them being genuine .eele-
: brities. Amongst these are the ten
ors Armanini, Giorgi and Augostini.
The sopranos are Tarquini (laEt sea-
sons Covent Garden sensation Mat
tine, Pereira and Rita dOrla; ZiZolfi,
possessing genuine contralto voice
is also a member of the company. The
baritones are Giardipi, and Nicoletti,
with the celebrated Giovanni MARITIME
as principal basso.
The company is one. of the best or

San Francisco Feels Safe.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 81
The report that an official Of the De-
partment of Justice was on his way
to this port to investigate alleged Gus
toms frauds failed to cerate a stir in
Federal circles last night.
1t was pointed out that there could
be no investigation of the tea or raw
silk importations, inasmuch as both
commodities are admitted free.
1t was further stated that recent
Investigation of the sugar imports had
failed to show any frauds.
For the past few years at intervals
! there have been sensational disclos-
ures of differentiation frauds in the
Importation of Oriental goods. The
importers have been penaliZed in
many instances and on several occa-
sions criminal prosecutions have been
instituted.
1t is thought possible that the COM
ing of the special investigator to this
city is for the purpose of looking into
the conduct of the office of Appraiser
Mattos, attention having been called
to the fact that he spends great part
of his time attending to his private
interests.
1t is not known whether or not I'M
LIBERALIZATION frauds other than those
that have already been brought to
light will be unearthed.
