LEAP YEAR BALL

On Monday night young ladies took
their turn escorting gentleman
friends to Progress hall, paying the
admissions, having wraps checked and
selecting partners for the dances.
Some Of the young gentlemen hardly
knew how to conduct themselves
with so many attentions bestowed
pom them. Some of the fellows in
sisted on standing up or budding
about the corners and had to remind
one another not to go looking for
partners but to patiently play the
part of wall thorns.
Mrs. Irene Summerville, Mrs. Dix
on Long and Miss Lena Nugent were
the floor committee, and busted
themselves introducing ladies to gem
tlemen they liked or to gentlemen
who had expressed an interest.
The ladies were very matter-of-fact
about everything, and that was a
tip to the gentlemen to be more
courageous hereafter even though
they can't help being shy and senti-
mental.

BETTER FREIGHT RATES FOR
IDAHO

A new tariff schedule affecting the
shipment of freights into Idaho goes
into effect the 25th of January that
will reduce freight charges about 80
per cent on goods in carload lots, the
greatest reduction applying to iron
and steel goods, grain and sugar
baks, etc., the reduction on sugar
i, sacks being 33 per cent per 100
pounds.
The schedule covers wide range
of commodities, and we understand
makes little if any change in anything
but carload shipments. 1t will give
Blackfoot merchants a great deal
better chance than they have had
heretofore, in competition with Poca
clio and alt Lake City. During the
past year one Blackfoot firm, Boyle
& Co., are said to have shipped in
35 carloads of iron and steel goods
and done some wholesaling notwith-
standing the discrimination against
this point.

ISIS THEATRE
One Week, Commencing January 8.

On Monday night, Jan. 8, the Ralph
Cloninger Co. will open their engage
ment with that beautiful play
Friends. .
There is great scope for dramatic
work and no better vehicle could have
been chosen by the management to
display the ability of every member
of the company. There is not weak
part in the entire cast. Friends
was written by Mr.. Milton Royal who
was Salt Lake boy. The play deals
with the friendship of Adrian Karja
and Jack Padon, who are both in love
with Margurite Otto. The friendship
is so strong between them that each
Is willing to give her up. Margurite' S
hand is sought by Mr.. Hunting, but
she refuses him. Hunting insults
her, she calls on Jack for protection
which Jack instantly renders, she
turns to the friends who are of hum
BILE station and finally through Jack $
persuasion accepts Adrian.
Mr.. Cloninger, who plays Adrian,
needs no recommendation as an actor
as he has already gained the repu-
tation of being the most talented
young leading man in the West.
Miss Irene Shirley, who has been
brought from San Francisco, and who
plays Margurite, is a young lady of
unexcelled ability. She is just the
lovely girl that Mr.. Royal portrayed
in his writing. Mr.. Roach who plays
Jack, was the original Jack Padon
with Mr.. Royal in 1886, and knows
every little detail of the piece which
is under his direction. Mr.. Clonin-
ger has spared no expense in get
ting together one of the best bal
anced companies he has ever hand
led, each member seems fitted to his
or her respective part. Mr.. Cloninger
and Mr.. Roach are we'll known to all
the theatre going people of Blackfoot.
having played here several times with
the National Players. There will be
a new bill each night, among them
being BLACK Flag" "Lynnwood,
Jim, the Penman" and several other
new ones never before seen in this
city.

THE ARMORY-AUDITO DIS.
MANTLED.

During the closing weeks of the
old year, Manager o. Buchanan, ol
the Auditorium, had it dismantled as
q playhouse and fitted up for the We.
hicle trade, and now has the stock
OF the Studebaker Company installed
there. The chairs, the sloping floor
the curtains and scenery, the gallery
and the small rooms at the front
We're all removed, and the building
made into one large storehouse with
space in the northeast corner made
into nice office. Part of the front
wall was cut out and large plate
glass windows put in, and the rest
of the front done over in cement
work.
History of the Building
The building was erected in 1906
by corporation known as the Ar
mory company, capital being fur
nished by local people, part of it by
the sale of stock to young men of
the town who were members of Com
pany f of the Idaho Home Guard and
the rest by loan secured by mortgage.
1t was designed to be playhouse, a
dance hall, an armory and a gym
nasium, but owing to a series of un-
fortunate incidents it was failure
in every respect. The following are
some of the unfortunate things re-
ferred to-
In erecting the building the ma
sons failed to put in good chimneys;
some claim they made no chimneys
at all, but simply left an aperature
in the wall and there was nothing to
prevent the smoke from spreading
through the airspaee left between the
parts of the double wall. However,
that may be the stoves were not ef-
fective, and some more work had to
be done to overcome the lack of
draught. Some second hand stoves
were purchased which were probably
all right If they had been handled
right, but the janitor soon allowed
The ashes and Goals to accumulate un-
Ter the CRATES and thus concentrated

loors at the entrance were kept

When the Indebtedness and the
mortgage became SO large that some
hing had to be done, most of the
mall creditors relinqulshed their
laims and the mortgagors compro-
nised their claim and sold it. Mr..
