ner refreshing to the soul, heart and
head. Who will begin to plan on
hearing him now, and will be on
hand February 14th, will hear one
of the greatest lectures, given by
one of the greatest lecturers of

Russell Conwell, and everybody
knows who he is, and what he has
done for young America.
Many person misses the chance
of his life in letting an opportunity
TO hear a great man with a great
message go by.
EVERY young man anu young NO-
man, every father and mother, every
bachelor and those who might make |
a bachelor happy if they would get
some new ideas, every boy and girl,
should manage TO scrape up enough
money to hear this great lecturer,

which cannot be compared with !
the admission fee, which is so cents

You have missed some good things
in life. Don't miss this one. This
appeal is to you, and sincerely made.

Emmett a Thriving Town.
w. r. p.

Emmett thriving ToWn.
Both the Index and the Examiner
gives glowing reports of building ac-
tivity in that thriving city, the Elk
aminer says that Emmett will double
her population in a year is admit
ted by the most conservative, and
that a committee from the CONNER
cial Club has been appointed TO
look after the building OF residence
houses, and have a list of eighty
people who will build as soon as the
weather conditions will permit; that
the Masonic lodge will also build a
two story building on their lots, be-
sides several other business blocks
will be erected in the near future.
We are glad to see the good city
of Emmett forging ahead, and reap
ing the harvest of seed sown by a
good bunch of live boosters who
put their shoulder to the wheel of
progress and all pulled tog' ther as
one man, and know just how to get
what they go after. OF course we
would have been twice glad if Pay
cite had secured the big saw mill,
but Emmett got it and did not do
any mud singing in doing so, and
has not done any growing over it
since.
The big Saw Mill and the County
seat is bound to make Emmett
city of no small size, and it will not
hurt Payette either, but will tend
to help. Payette has made many sub
stantial improvements during the
past year, and has several more good
that are in si0ht for
this year The prosperity of any
town is like measles--it is catching
and bound to spread.

SOLDIER BOYS
IN PICTURE
CACTUS LAND IN SONG, STORY
AND PICTURE GREETED BY
FULL HOUSE,. SINGING WAS
EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD.

= The moving pictures of the boys
on the border, Cactus Land In
Story, Song and Picture" which
was given at the Emma Theatre
Tuesday evening, was much appre-
ciated by a crowded house 1t was
not only very interesting, but in
structive. Every. feature of the en-
tertainment was first class. The
beautiful scenery of the Gem State
was one continued display of gran
dure. The Second Idaho quartet was
rare treat. These boys certainly
know how to sing, and their sons
were fitting and full of harmony.
Keller was there with the goo3s
on the slide trombone stunt. The
quartette alone was worth the price
of admission. Mr. Bowman's talk on
the conditions and situation in
Mexico was much enjoyed as well
as very instructive. The reading by
Mr. Bowman held the large audience
spell bound during the recital. The
moving pictures of the Second Iia-
no in action were, without a question
a complete demonstration of their
ability, and showed very clearly that
Idaho stands high in the ranks when
it comes to putting out coed, stall
wart, well-trained soldiers. The en- i
tire program was first class from /
start to finish. 1t was not fiction, or
some ones imagination, but a real
ity of a real happening.
