IN IDAHO HISTORY
Largest Gathering Of Experts
Meet Here
ALL PLEASED AND WILL COME
AGAIN NEXT YEAR.
Mayor Sweeley Reelected President
Closing Events To Be Held To-
day.

Pleased with the progress of the
biggest trap shoot ever held in the
history of the state, the members of
the Idaho State Sportsmen's associa-
ton last night voted unanimously to
re-elect E. M. Sweeley as president
and to meet here again next year,
when the affair will be planned on an
even more elaborate scale The shoot
ers were all enthusiastic, the best of
feeling prevailed, and it was agreed
that there was not a single hitch any
where. Officers elected were: Presi-
dent, E. NJ Sweeley, of Twin Falls;
vice president, DR.. Weaver, of Boise;
secretary-treasurer, l.. T. Wright, of
Twin Falls; directors: E. c. Rice,
Boise; e. T. Fitzgerald, Burley; T. B.
Fritcher, Bull; R. ]. Coats, Jerome,
and Allen G. Fisher, Twin Falls.
The shooters began arriving at noon
Saturday and continued to come in
Sunday. At the practice shoot Sun
day, P. ]. Holohan, of Portland, the
famous professional, won high bird,
getting 81 out of 100, while his son,
Dennis Holohan, of Burley, fell one
below him. Yesterday p. j. Holohan
again was high man on the regular
events, hitting lat out of $50 birds.
AS this did not count in the regular
state contests the highest scores made
by those eligible to compete were 145
by Dennis Holohan and Anderson. In
the shoot off Holohan won. The
handicap trophy contests followed
Dennis Holohan won the Gooding Gun
club trophy, won last year by j. E
Wade, and the U. T. c. trophy, won
last year by A. G. Adleman.
Today the Interstate Association
Amateur championship contest is be-
gin held and trophy shoots are taking
place for the trophy cup of the asso-
citation, for the Holohan medal and for
the Statesman trophy. The winner OF
the interstate championship will get
$50 from the association to defray ex-
penses to the great American handicaI
shoot. Seven other prizes are given
the seven high guns. There is nc
gambling involved, as the shooters pay
only for their ammunition and get nc
rebate from anything they pay on ac-
count of their luck or skill

HURT FALLING OVER
STEEP tMBANKMFNT
b. Nj. Thompson of Boise Plunges
Down 30 Feet Near 0wsley's Ferry
ON Way Home.

While hurrying home in an auto to
Boise to see a sick child, B. M. Thomp-
son, a life insurance agent, plunged
over the steep embankment this side
OF Owsley's Ferry about o'clock yes
terday morning, as a result Of defec-
tive lighting and sustained a fractured
leg and a number of severe bruises.
The auto was utterly destroyed.
Thompson left here late Sunday night
in his car and was making good head
way until he came to the embanK-
ment, when his lights failed. At
tempting to proceed he miscalculated
the distance to the edge and dashed
over. The sheer fall was about 30
feet and he rolled about as much fur
ther before stopping. The auto ran
down a considerable distance, and was
completely demolished. About 700
O'Clock Mr.. Thompson heard autos
going past but was unable to attract
the drivers. About 1920 yesterday,
Nels p Ring, a farmer living near
Bull. came riding by on a horse.
Hearing q faint call and seeing the
broken auto he investigated and found
Thompson. He secured help and tele-
phoned for medical assistance. Mr..
Thompson was brought to the Physi-
clans and Surgeons hospital here,
where he is now getting along nicely
The latest report from Boise is that
the sick child is getting better. Mr.
Thompson has charge of this part OF
the state for the Idaho Life Insurance
company and spends much Of his time

EXCURSION HERE
ON JUNE 21ST
Motion Pictures Taken For The
Chicago Herald
WILL BE PUT ON IN 1000 TOWNS
IN MIDDLE WEST.
The Union Pacific Railroad Cooper
> ating With Newspaper in Boosting
Idaho Country.

An excursion with cheap rates to
Twin Falls from all parts of the Twin
Falls branch, will be held on Wednes-
day, June 81, week from tomorrow
on the occasion of the visit to this city
of Ward d. Williams of the Chicago
Herald, advertising and colonization
department, accompanied by the pres
ident of the Amazon Film company
and operators, who will take motion
pictures of the Great Shoshone Falls
and other spots of interest and beauty
in and around this city Details of
this excursion will be explained in
Thursdays TIMES. 1t is planned to
get the excursionists to the falls in
order that as many as possible may be
present during the taking of the pic
ture. 1t is felt that the pictures thus
taken will advertise the entire tract.
The Union Pacific system is co-operat-
ing with the Herald in putting on this
exhibit and giving the greatest pub
licity to this part of the country.
Walter B. Roderick, member of the
Herald staff, is in this city as advance
man for Mr.. Williams. The latter will
arrive on June 20 and will speak at
the commercial club here. 1t is felt
by the managers of the commercial
club that the widest publicity for the
country will be obtained by hearty CO.
operation with the movement. The
work of getting together an exhibit
which will be shipped next Wednes-
day, is going ahead satisfactorily and
will help put Twin Falls on the map
when it gets there. Speaking of the
publicity obtained, Mr.. Roderick said
today:
"The Herald has set aside page for
Idaho to be published each week. This
page will appear in the regular issues
of the Herald as the management is
opposed to any so-called special edi-
ton or boom number. At least two
columns of this page will be taken up
by the staff articles and news notes,
together with an attractive head pre-
pared by the artist at the Herald,
which will typify the state. This will
consume in the neighborbood of ZOO
agate lines, allowing 100 lines each
week to be allotted to different cOun-
ties, city governments, chambers OF
commerce, power and mining compan-
les and reliable land and colonization
companies.
"The Herald is enabled to extend
this service at this remarkably low
figure, which is about one-fourth oi
the regular charge for moving picture
service, on account of the fact that the
Herald Moving Picture directors and
operators will be in the state of Idaho
between the 18th of June and 1st oil
July to take moving pictures contract
ed for by the Union Pacific railroad.
This service offers one big oppor.
tunity for the state of Idaho to have
allotted each week for the 20 weeks
during the months of July, August
September, October and November, an
exclusive page, which will be circu.
lated to the Herald readers, reaching
approximately 100000 each week
covering the state of Illinois, Indiana
Iowa, Ohio, Nebraska, Kansas, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Montana, and other
central and northwestern states"

Kimberly still plays in bad luck and
has as yet failed to win a game this
season. Rupert won from the Kimber-
ly nine Sunday by a score of four to
two in well played contest. Jerome
won from Burley, which places her
with the same per cent as Twin Falls
has. This makes the prospects for
the game here Sunday all the more in

so a.! the lovers of good acting may
rejoice. Mss Ferguson is to-day the
most distinguished young actress Of
the American theatre. 1t has rarely
happened that such expert technical
sk.ll has been combined with such
alluromcnt of youth and beauty. But
Miss Ferguson has acquired the means
Of her art while she is still young
Of young womanhood. 1t is in con-
templating what: she can accomplish
to-day that the injustice of recurring
t, the pa.my days OF the profession as
the only inspiration to praise seems
most unjust, divert!ng as that occupa-
t!,n may he.
Is 1T possible to evoke a lovelier
figure from the past? Old pictures
of the celebrities of an earlier period
sometimes seem to. Photographs to-
day of Blanche Pierson, Sophie
Ccoizette and Sarah Bernhard in
their golden prime sometimes suggest
a distinction and finish which are not

Of the stage. But 1t would be difficult
to find among any Of them, whether
| the Paris stage be selected or the Eng
l!sh of that earlier period, who could
exec. in beauty and distinction Miss
Ferguson as she is to-day. So New
York is eager to welcome her to-mor-
row night.
She never yet has had a play worthy
of her talents, but let us hope that
Margaret Schiller" at least shows her
to as much advantage as THE Strange
| Woman and "Outcast." How much
! easier was the chance Of those beau
ties OF the period TO which we have
lust been referring. In the case OF
Agnes Ethel, Rose Eytinge and Clara
Morris in our own country The task
was also easier. Playwrights in
France were just then turning GU
