The, Sam Lewis
Company Friday

Sam Lewis, the prominent Welsh
tenor, who has been heard in con-
cert in all the leading cities of the
country, is to be here Friday at the
head of his own company, appearing
on the lyceum course. Mr.. Lewis
has undoubtedly one of the finest
tenor voices of the younger genera
tiOn Of singers, powerful in quality
and glorious in it's wine-warm tones
TO his almost perfect technical fin
ish is added a. power of interpreta-
ton irresistible in it's appeal to
audiences. And back of his deep,
rich mellow tones, always controlled
and disciplined, is a temperament
and refinement that stamps his work
as of the highest character. Signor
Sacerdote, assistant conductor of the
Chicago Grand Opera company, says,
"Mr. Lewis has a voice Of such
luscious quality that he is able to
sing any style Of music"
Assisting artists with the Welsh
tenor are Ruth Lavery, the Chicago
violinist, who last year was awarded
the first prize in the violin contest
by the Associated Musical clubs Of
Illinois; Irene Harruf, -accompanist
and pianist, whose charm and musi-
cal ability have given her a per-
manent place in concert work; and
Amber Hopkins, whose high attain
ments as an entertainer make friends
for her everywhere. 15-1

BUTCHERS And
4 THEIR PROFITS
Strive to Keep Retail
Market Price at an
Even Swing
HAD AN INTERVIEW

1t has been a subject of consider
able rumor that the meat markets of
Blackf0ot are buying fat beef and
pork now at much lower prices than
they did a few months ago and that
the price of meat on the block has
not come down to keep pace with
price at which the markets buy it.
A representative of The Idaho Re-
publican interviewed the three mar
kets at Blackfoot, Tuesday and
received from them substantially the
following statements:
Jorgensen G Co., 1--WE are selling
meat from the block now at an aver
age of about 5 cents per pound lower
than we did. There was time when
we were paying 20 to 81 cents for
dressed meat and were really not
making anything selling it at the
prices charged at that time, but we
considered it temporary high price
that I'VE were paying and rather than
disturb the prices by following up
with higher retail price we sold at
the same old prices until the market
got adjusted again. 1t is true that
we have been buying our animals at
declining prices for some time, but
the prices we pay our help have been
steadily advancing and in view Of the
very close margins we sold on when
meat was high and in view Of our
higher operating expenses for wages
we do not feel justified in reducing
the retail price more than an aver
- z uk
spring our pay roll amounted to
about $1100 per month and with
practically the same amount Of help
now the pay roll amounts to $500
per MONTH"
The Blackfoot Meat Market: eve
have reduced the price Of meats an
average of 2k cents from what they
were at the highest. When animals

GOVERNORS MESSAGE
INSTANTLY POPULAR
ALL PARTY LINES OBLITERATED
IN FRANK APPROVAL OF WORDS
OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE

That the new chief executive of the
state of Idaho, has, in his initial mes
sage, made an extremely favorable i'm
preston upon all the members of the
legislature, irrespective Of party af-
filiation is the news that comes to The
The Star-Mirror in a special telegram
this morning.
BOISE.-All party lines were drop
ped among the legislators in their ia
vorable comment on the message OF
Governor Davis of Idaho delivered to a
joint session Tuesday afternoon.
From democrat floor leader of the
house, Charles Moodey Of Bonner
county came the comment, "It is wise,
statesmanlike, fair and one that every
citizen in the state of Idaho can sub
scribe to-"
Beecher Hitchcock, another regular
democrat, was equally as compliment
ary when he said, "The keynote OF the
message was the suggestion to cen
tralize the power of the governor and
departments so as to give business
like administration. / believe every
regular democrat will vote for any
good bill along these lines introduced" !"
Charles D. Storey of Boise and re-
publican said, ''The message is big
one and its plea for business like
methods reflects the feeling of the
house and senate members who are
business men" From Representative
W. L. Adamson, "The most business
like program ever submitted to an Ida
no legislature"
In the senate the comments are
equally complimentary. Senator Arm
strong, HALEY banker expressed him
self in this way, 3The strongest and
most forward looking in the history of
Idaho," while Senator Seaver of Twin
Falls characterised it as, Timely,
strong and constructive"
The first real speech of the session
has been delivered and by of the wom-
en- members, Mrs. Emma F. A. Drake of
New Plymouth, who eloquently sup
ported her own resolution to ratify
the national prohibition amendment.
The first real laugh also came yester-
day when following supporting
speech for the prohibition resolution
BY Representative Storey in which he
referred to the 'abstemious habits Of
he Mohammedans," C. S. Moody said
le was ready to join the far east sect
md called for vote on the resolution.
The outgoing democratic administra-
ion was sharply criticised at the
morning session by Senator Enoch |
Nhitcomb for failure to provide sta
iOnery and other necessary supplies |
or the use of the incoming bodies.
SENATOR'S Ypaman and Richardson and |

lutions in respect to the memory of
