Something of the history. develop
ment and building changes In Boise
can be seen displayed in the show win
dow of the Sampson Music company at
s13 Idaho street, in a set of handsome
pictures which have been put on dis
play there by George Ball. Some OF
these pictures date back as far as the
year 1866 and show scenes here remem-
bered wildly by the pioneers of the
early DAYS The pictures are attract
ing wide attention. The pioneers gaze
on them while the pages of memory
turn backward and call forth stories of
the early days. The later arrivals view
them with wonderment as they note
the changes that have taken place.
Few people realize that In the col
lection on display are shown a number
OF pictures which are possessed only
by the artist who has displayed them,
and that a number are copyrighted.
Mr.. Ball spent months in working out
the detail to make the photographs
complete, photographing and e-photo-
graphing in order to obtain the desired
results-a finished picture.

Mr.. Ball tells of the time when he
first came to Boise and found a home
welcome in the old overland During
his first three years here he had plenty
of idle time on his hands and he made
a practice of leaning daily against the
corner of the old Overland to keep it
from falling down. Yet stated, the
old building stood. and even when the
carpenters began to raze 1t they found
difficulty in tearing down the well
! built, but leaning, structure. Mr.. Ball
states he is now an old man, having
| reached the age of three score years
and 10. and while he has been in many
cities, from New York to San Diego.
the old Overland hotel was the only
nre proof building he has ever seen.
! The old hotel, he says, was on fire
numerous times, but seemed charmed
and q blaze never got very far before
being cXtinguished with but little dam
age. Mr.. Ball recalls how the old
hotel was the meeting place for the old
timers of Boise and Idaho, and he de-
clares that up to the time it was torn
down they met there several times 4
week. but with the vanishing of the
building the crowd also vanished and
all of them never seemed to get to-
gether again.

you even guessed how unspeakably
vicious they were!"
He paused and waited, anticipating
furious denial or attempt at refuta-

the logical development of the temper
in which she had descended to con-
front him.
Rather than this, she seemed Gained
and sobered by his charge; far from
~resenting it. she appeared disposed
to concede its fairness; anger deserted
her expression, leaving it intent and

met back there in the corridor, l was
convinced you were bent on further

A sudden grumble from the teakettle

welcome distraction. Lanyard lifted

water on a measure of tea in an earth

"a cup of this and something to
eatn do us no harm" he ventured,
smiling uneasily-'especially If we're

She fell silent, sitting with bowed
head and twisting her hands together
