MINERAL COLLECTION
FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL
PROFESSOR FRED LAMBERT RE.
CEIVES SHIPMENT FROM THE
GOVERNMENT GEOLOGY DE-
PARTMENT-WILL BE USED IN
CONNECTION WITH THE WORK
IN PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY

Uncle Sam, at the suggestion Of
Congressman Crisp, has donated to the
! local High school the nucleus for an
up-to-date mineral collection. Pro-
fessor Lambert, principal of the High
school, yesterday received a shipment
of 81 specimens from the government
geological department in Washington.
The specimens sent the High school
represent the different grades of min
eral and were collected from several
countries. They represent the differ
ent strata of rock that tell of the ST.
lent development and evolution of
mother earth.
Prof. Lambert is anxious to have a
good collection of minerals for use in
the study of physical geography and
will use this gift of Uncle Sam as
nucleus for a collection. The boys
OF the High school are already at work
making cabinets for the collection.
Any donations towards the mineral
collection will be appreciated

When John Fox, Jr., the author of
THE Little Shepherd OF Kingdom
Come" resolved to put woman of
the Virginia mountains inHo a novel,
he followed his old plan of hewing a
trail into the remotest spot of the APP
palachian mountain chain, where no
dust of the outside world had penetrat-
ed; place where he could find the
ideal representation of the natural and
the human. He went and returned and
gave the world the delightful story,
1.-The Trail of the Lonesome Pine"
Eugene Walter, read the book, fol-
lowed the trail as Mr.. Fox had blazed
it, wrote his play in a mountain cove"
and his INSTALLATION of the primitive
mountain girl, June, has delighted
thousands.
Mr.. Walter admits that his sojourn
in Virginia mountain cove" was
among his most interesting expert
ences. A few days after his arrival
at Lonesome Cove he invited a noun
taineer to give his opinion as to
whether the tract of land had ever
been at the bottom of the sea, as the
sides bear the mark of erosion. The
mountaineer replied, EFF it 'twar so,
'twar before his papy's or his grand
papy's time"
These coves were the first points
settled because they affords shelter
both from the weather, which is often
severe, and from the pursuing atten-
lions of former neighbors in the val
ley whose ideas of equity were unduly
warped by too thorough appreciation
of merely legal technicalities. The des-
cendants OF these first settlers now
occupy the ground first cleared by
them, and the courteous mountaineer
first mentioned who so delicately veil
ed his probable conjecture that his
geological questioner was plum
eejit," might have made his point
still stronger by presenting the same
evidence from his granpappys gran
pappy. But the interest of the average
mountaineer in public or private his
tory seldom carries him far enough to
inquire beyond the generations with
whom he has speaking acquaint-
ance.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 9.-That

Turkey is a party, is not the first ca

This statement follows:
From the morning history, the

to make canal Al feet deep and 800

was extended so as ultimately to give
bottom width of "a IL feet, and

that this enlargement would be COM

How much larger than the aver

PLANS ON BUILDING A
BIG fruit CANN[RY
IN SOUTHERN IDAHO
(Staff correspondence

Meridian, June ia member of the
San Francisco firm of Hunt Bros. COM
pany, who operate the biggest fruit
packing house in the United States and
the largest pineapple cannery in the
world. was in Meridian calling on the
trade and at the same time is looking
over the southern Idaho field with a
view of building and operating large
cannery in this state. The superior
quality of Idaho fruits, berries and
vegetables has attracted the attention
of this great firm to this state. They
put up practically everything in the
line of fruits and vegetables, includ-
ing tomatoes, peas and beans. This
company has arrived at that stage
where they almost feel compelled to To-
cate big cannery in Idaho because OF
the fact that Idaho fruits, berries and
vegetables are of superior quality and
flavor to those grown In California.
The Hunt Bros. company is nov fig
uring on Withdrawing from California
because California cannot produce
fruits, berries and vegetables equal in
quality and flavor to those grown in
the northwest. They now are reported
to be building a 100000 cannery al
Salem Ore. They now are known to be
looking to southern Idaho with longing
eyes. Their locating In this state
would be a great thing. A look at their
lihill-heads shows that this company
cans apricots, cherries, peaches, pears
plums, grapes. berries OF all kinds
prunes. tomatoes. peas, beans. etc
Their great pineapple cannery is in

DEMURRER FILED
TO COMPLAINT BY
THE PIN ROAD
Every Statebent but Two by
Rev. I'll. III. Abrams Is
Specifically Denied in the
Answer.

The Pacific & Idaho Northern Rail-
way company has filed not only an an
swer, but also a demurrer and a mo-
ton, to the complaint filed with the
public utilities commission by Rev. H.
H. Abrams, alleging that the railroad
took up his half fare permit in retalia-
ton for his activity In connection with
q farmers unon movement against
freight rates. The answer denies spe-
cific lilly and generally practically eyery
statement made in Mr.. Abrams COM
plant. The demurrer is on the ground
that the complaint does not offer suf-
ficient ground for action, and the mo-
ton is that the complaint be stricken
from the files.
The railway companys answer to the
Abrams complaint, which in certified
form was filed with the commission
week before last, denies paragraph by
paragraph. every statement in the COM
plant with the exception of the name
the railway and the fact that a half
fare permit was taken up by the road
from the plaintiff. 1t denies that the
defendant has any knowledge or in
formation as to whether the plaintiff

being used by Abrams in his complaint
"As to whether or not" says the de-
fendant's answer, ito coerce, bull -doze,
influence or honey-fogle is a gentle
manly or other way of bribing the
plaintiff, this defendant has no knowl-
edge or information on which to base
a belief and therefore denies the
same"
After denying the rest of the COM
plaint, that the loss of his permit
worked as preference to other clergy
men and to his prejudice, the answer
asks that the action be dismissed.
The defendants demurrer calls the
complaint ambiguous, uncertain and
unintelligible. as it fails to show
wherein any discrimination or preju-
dice is done tc the plaintiff by any ac-
ton Of the defendant, inasmuch as it
does not show that free or reduced
fares have been allowed to any other
clergyman over the defendants lines.
Finally, the defendant files a brief
motion to strike the "so-called" COM
plaint from the files. for the reason
| that it is sham and frivolous.

A motion picture spectacle in eight
of Quo Vadis" is the entertainment at
the Isis theater for the remainder OF
this week. The first thing that strikes
one in seeing this picture Is the mas
siveness in every part of 1.-THE cast,
the scenery and the action. 1t has been
claimed by many persons, and rightly,
too, that photoplay production of
longer length than 5000 or 5000 feet is
very tiring and hard on the nerves
This has been foreseen by the directors
of this mammoth production and rather
than cut 1t down they have brought in
incident after incident which hold the
attention of the audience and do not
give those seeing it the opportunity
to become restless and impatient. These
incidents all move toward the climax
and have been isolated from the great
mass of descriptive material in Henry
Sienkiewicz's book.
To compliment singly each member
of the capable cast used by the pro-
ducers would occupy too much space
and would fall short of appropriately
paying tribute to their talents so all
that will be said here is that through
all the long list-from Novelli as Vini-
thus and Castellani as Ursus to the
members of the arena audience-each
has his part to play and each plays it
to the best of his ability.
The scenic effects, too, make the
picture a wonderful one. AS said be-
fore. they are massive, especially the
arena scenes. Chariot races and gladia
| torial combats but lead UP to one OF
the big scenes of the play-the devour
ing Of the Christians by the lions. The
appearance of the lions from the traI
door is sufficient in itself to arouse
excitement but when they move up to-
wards the martyrs it comes in earnest
In the making Of this part lion train
ers were stationed among the crowd
and always had the big beasts under
control but their appearance is suffi-
cient to give any one a chill.
AS a conclusion be 1t said that the
picture will live. 1t is a feature now
and will always be a feature. 1t is the
height of motion picture production to.
day and only the future can disclose
whether or not 1t will always be.
