Effective next Wednesday, March
10, H. v. Platt, general manager Of
the Oregon Short Line, has issued an
order changing the name of the sta
ton here from "Lakeport" to "Mc-
Call" This is welcome news to our
business men, and the people gener-
ally. The use of the two names to
designate the same place led to much
confusion and was constant source
of annoyance to shippers, and the or
der of Mr.. Platt in removing this diff
ficulty will be duly appreciated by
them The town was named Mccall
by vote of The people here long be-
fore the railroad was built, to honor
our worthy pioneer citizens, Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Mccall. When the road
was built the railway officials think

OPEREI1AA CHARMING
SUCCESS
High School Chorus Renders
"Feast of Little Lanterns
in Artistic Manner.

An appreciative audience filing
Liberty Theatre to its capacity, greet
ed the performance last Friday even
ing, of "The Feast of the Little Lam
terms" an operetta, presented by 50
High school girls, under the direction
of Miss Frances Rundstrom, super
visor of music in the Emmett public
schools. From any viewpoint, the gen
eral verdict is filled with the highest
praise, and should eradicate from the
minds of any who may have enter
tanned any such thought, the question
of eliminating public school music.
Tho leading roles were especially
well chosen: Miss Alice Rose, as
Princess Chan, sung her part in a
charmingiy girlish way, while hef
spoken lines were distinctly heard in
every section of the auditorium.
Her maid, Frances Campbell in
good voice, executed the little toudAes
of wit with ease. Leone Campbell, as
Wing Lee, was quite at home, while
Jeanette Motz quite charmed the aud
ience with her pretty ways and grace
full dancing, as the juggler maid who
proved to be the sister whose loss was
mourned by the Princess Chan.
The chorus work was spicy and es-
pecially commendable for it's sweet
ness of tone and clearness of enun-
ciasion, every word being distinctly
understandable, and the almost pro-
fessional ease with which their res
-ponses were handled was most pleas
ing.
The stage settings, pretty combin-
alton of Japanese and Chinese sur
roundings, made delightfully."- artis-
tic background for the kimonA-elad
maids of the fowery land
A pleasant surprise was given the /
greater part Of the audience in the ex-
;ellent work of the High school or
.hestra which rendered several selec-
ions, and when one considers that
hese are almost all new musicians it
s certainly reflection of credit upon
heir training.
1t should be an incentive toward
.reater support and encouragement
long these lines, and source of sat
sfaction to those whose untiring ef-
orts promoted the success of their .
irst venture.

Better passenger service on the
Idaho Northern between Emmett and
Mccall was presaged Tuesday wher
officials of the Oregon Short Lins
system notified the state public util-
tiles commission that orders have gone
out to train crews ordering them to
keep log trains out Of the way of
"mixed runs" or combination trains
which carry passengers. To further
expedite service, the railroad has
changed the time of departure of log
ging trains so that the passenger ser
vice will not be held up. Recently
patrons of the line made serious OBJ
lection to tardy service caused by log
trains on the line.

BETWEEN CARS
Glenn Dunn of Payette Meets
Terrible Death in Emmett
Railroad Yards.

Glenn Dunn of Payette, brakeman
on the Payette Valley railroad, was
caught between two freight cars in the
Emmett yards while switching on
Tuesday, ard his body SO fearfully
crushed that ne died within half an
hour afterwards.
The terrible accident occurred dur
ing the noon hour while the usual
switching was being done. Several
ears had been switched to sidetrack
under the direction of young Dunn and
Conductor Jack Whalen. 1t was fear
ed the cars had not been pushed far
enough to clear the adjoining track.
Young Dunn gave the engineer sig
nal to back and then attempted to pass
between the two strings Of cars, in
spite of the warning Of Mr.. Whalen.
He was caught between the draw
heads of the two cars and terribly
mangled, his back being broken and
his internal organs crushed almost to
a pulp. He was rushed to the hospi-
tai, but died a few minutes after
reaching there, conscious to the last.
Glenn Dunn was the only son of Mr..
and Mrs. E. G. Dunn of Paye.te. For
several years the family lived in En-
NETT, the father being station agent
for the Idaho Northern and also own
ing an orchard tract or the East
Slope From here Mr.. Dunn went 10
the Pin road as superintendent at New
Meadows, and there Clem started his
railroad career He had been in the
employ of the P V. only few months.
He was 25 years of age and a fine
specimen of robust young manhood.
He was the idol of his parents, fav-
orite with his associates and his un-
timely death will be sincerely mourn
ed wherever he was known.
The funeral was held this afternoon,
services conducted by Rev. F. f Fin
ley being held in hte Bucknum chapel,
and burial was in the Masonic ceme-
terry beside sister, who died num-
Der of years ago. Twenty members of

will have to be housed in rooms not
designed for them till the second unit
can be built, $500 more will enable
US to undertake the two units includ-
ing these rooms and the gym; $37 500
would make it safe to undertake the
entire plant. The church desires to
have it clearly understood before
starting that until it is able to com
plete the auditorium it will be neces-
sary for it to use on Sundays the COM
munity part of the buildings for it's
religious worship and maybe it viii
want it for series Of evangelistic
meetings once year. At other times
it will be available and kept open for
community services. Even at such
time as this it would be available dur
ing the day. When the auditorium is
completed the religious worship will
be conducted in it, but any of the
rooms not occupied may be used for
class rooms in conducting a modern
church school Of course when great
community affair is put on taxing the
seating capacity the entire length of
the building would be thrown open
together.
"The next important question is how
can such plant be operated? A
trained director of religious education,
lady assistant, janitor and lit
tie volunteer help occasionally could
do it. The direstor could also preach
on Sundays. The lady assistant could
serve as librarian, matron of the COM
fort room and be director IN music.
Thereby many lovers of music in the
young people would have an advan-
tage which would not otherwise come
to them. For this added service and
advantage to the community It would
be easier to underwrite the annual ex-
pense of the community plant than
it would to raise the money to pay 1
church ex ense which gives nothing
more than worship and Sunday school.
If properly looked after the commun-
ity will gladly pay for value received
In these contemplations the church 1
realizes that many a fine plant re- :
presents sad waste of money because
no one has any religious plan for its
use. Unless we really know what we
are doing we are likely to find our
selves doing things we would rather
lot know. A gymnasium crowded
With shining apparatus, dumb bells,
,ars, ladders, swings will likely spell
IN expense so heavy that the commun-
ty would not willingly bear it. How

f gymnasiums and to use them more Z
or play. Therefore, taking a hint
rom the experience Of others we are
OF promising to put in the shining ap- +
aratus, but the gym shall be used for '

"Thus setting our plans before the
ommunity, we are launching the en-
erprise of a community building. :

Present Weather Excellent
For Growing Wheat

The present weather is proving
great boon to the growing wheat. say
farmers and dealers. The hot days
are conducive to a rapid growth of the
plant and the lack of frost at nights
and in the early mornings Is a help
full factor. There is a great plenty of
moisture in the ground as the results
of April rains and conditions at this
time are very favorable. There have
been no winds of late to take the mois-
ture from the ground and with con-
ditions as they are, the rather thin
stand of grain Is expected to stool out
well and give a much better looking
stand. The crop will not be made,
however, for several weeks.
