the Present Day Airship is the RANGE Cove~ad ~
Governor Hawley Will Attend.

sBorder Days., the big western
event being arranged by Grangeville
for September IS, 10, 20, 81, p 'omises
to be amoung the greatest reproductions
Of the good old frontier days staged
in the Northwest and in the way of a
buckaroo show will not be far behind
the Pendleton Roundup. From the ap-
pearance of the good old time emigrant
train with its yokes Of numbering oxen
as its winds its way down the streets
on the morning Of the opening day,
September IS, to the close of the show
on the night of the 21st with a genuine
cowboy dance, there will not be a
moment lacking the true frontier spirit
and the life of the west will be on
every hand.
The Governor Coming.
On Tuesday the following telegram
was received from Governor Hawley
in response to an invitation to be pre-
sent and open the event:
"Will be with you one one day at
least during Border Days Celebra-
tion." James H. Hawley.
The Governor, who is one of the old
pioneers, having come to the state at
an early day, first set foot on Idaho
soil during the Florence gold rush,
making the trip from Lewiston to the
old fouyp of EIororoo ~ %h;s oo,r4xx
on foot carrying his blankets and
gold pan on his back. Naturally he
is always anxious to be with the old
pioneers as well as the other citizens of
the state. just what date the COVER
nor will arrive, as yet is not known but
will be announced shortly.
Reduced Railroad Rates.
The event is not of local nature
and has assumed such magnitude that
the Northern Pacific and the o. W. R.
N. railway companies have taken a
hold and are preparing to handle an
immense passenger traffic over their
lines, rate Of one and one-third fare
from all stations within a radius Of 300
miles Of Grangeville seeming assured at
this time.
A Permanent Show.
1t is the idea of the management
to make this an event which will live
long in the memory of the visitors and
add new and better features every
year making Border Days to Central
Idaho and the Northwest country the
only genuine western celebration worth
while.
Inquiries are being received by the
hundreds by every mail and already
the reservation for Accommodations in
the city during the week of the event
indicates crowd of from six to seven
thousand will be here.

OF the range land, here is where en-
joyment will be supreme.
There will be enough to satisfy the
most exacting cowman and those Of
the effete east will be impressed with
the daring and recklessness of the true
westerner.
From the OK team of 40 to the cir
snip of today will be depicted the AL

It is really an edition de luxe of vaudeville, and in q class by itself, so far as family price yau- deville is concerned. In every way ex- cept the number of-acts the bill is as good as those which cost you 50 cents and sl to see in many cities.
 Belle Hathaway's Monks, 12 of the cut est. cleverest African monkeys that were ever trained for vaudeville, are one of the pinacles of the bill, and there are two others. The monks are well trained and perform numerous stunts. As speciality for children they are far and away above the average and will bring hundreds of the little folks to the house this week
 Will Rawls and Ella Von Kaufman pre- sent a minstrel comedy. "A Willing Worker" which contains some of the eleverest, newest and most entertaining black face comedy that has been heard here. It is ripe with new features and laughs, with some parodies, singing and dancing. Both are well known entertain CTS, and always sure of a laugh and a welcome in Birmingham.

By PAUL COOK

The tired business man" had sheen looking forward for some time to the ap- pearance here Friday and Saturday of Louisiana Lou" musical show made In Chicago" which has been very success ful in the city by tho lake, and came south with much heralding by press agents. Birmingham is now looked upon as profitable town for an engagement of three performances by tho larger and better class of theatrical attractions, ai- though It may be some time yet before we can be assured of longer engagements. Popular price amusements find a weeks stay profitable, but the higher priced uf- ferings hasten on to New orleans.
 
 Ii required much uphill work to culti- vate a desire for vaudeville among Bir- mingham people, but there is no doubt now of the popularity enjoyed here by that kind of amusement. With two vau- deville theatres already fiourishing and a very handsome house nearing completion, the possibilities are that we shall have all the vaudeville we can assimilate. In the new house, the Lyric, the most noted vaudeville people in the country will ap- pear and the opening of this theatre is looked forward to with much interest.
 ''The Shepherd of the Hills.r n drama tization of Harold Bell Wright's novel, is to be offered at the Bijou during this week, opening tomorrow night. There ts about as much difference between The Shepherd of the Hills" and .'The Common Law as there is between daylight and darkness. The difference Is all in favor of MT. Wrights novel If the dramatiza- ton has been well done, we may antici- pate an appealing play, with opportunities afforded for some beautiful scenic effects. The theme of the book Is pure and up- lifting. The play should DC well worth while.
