MUSIC CONCERT PLEASES
LARGE AUDIENCE FRIDAY

A musical evening given by Prof.
Robert Blair, director of the con-
servatory of music, Idaho Technical
Institute, Miss Genevieve Gilbert,
soprano and James Campbell, Jr.,
pianist, Friday evening at the hign
school auditorium, was well attended
and received with appreciation.
Prof. Blair is splendid tenor; it's
hard to say when we have heard the
good old Scotch favorites so ex-
quisitely rendered His singing of
"The Widow Malone made last
ing impression. But the professor
plays the violin very we'll, and so
the Audience missed hearing many a
tenor gem that is doubtless stored
away in his vocal repertoire.
Miss Gilbetr's rendition of "a
Spring Flower" was fine. The aria
Hear Ye, Israeli from Elijah won
our enthusiasm and also the Jewel
Song" from Faust.
A bit of a serenade by Drdla,
given on the violin by Prof. Blair
as an encore, was beautifully played
and long applauded.

it to the best interests of the tax
payers to make a statement at this
time relating to our policy in con-
nection with the proposed bond issue
If 1t is successfully carried.
If the bonds are carried, it means
new era for Bingham county.
We desire to reassure the public
as to the expenditure of this money,
and we will attempt to spend it
where it will bring the greatest ad-
vantages to the public and the county
generally. We contemplate spend
ing the money according to the val
uation in each commissioners dis
trict and according to the heaviest
traffic roads. in each district. We do
not propose to hire excessively high
priced road experts. We be-
lieve that one competent road

will be sufficient, and wher-
ever possible, we will use local labor
for the construction of these roads.
thereby leaving the money in the
county.
We contemplate doing a great deal
of this, in the winter time when the
farmers are not busily engaged with
their crops.
