Id him she had some fresh eggs
at in her spring wagon in a tele
"ope grip, and asked if he would
; and get them. He politelv ask

say after the hen fruit. In the
eantime County Commisisoner
fit le, who is canvassing for the

his horse and buggy to the

Little's sample telescope grip

They reached the side door of the

Lost in tlu* Lavas.
The 23 year old son of Mr.
Teofsky of Dubois, is the sub
of an experience that will stay
by his memory for life, having
nt four days and nights in
dering round in the lavas and
brush north of this city, with
food or shelter.
ast Tuesday the family came
from Dubois to lay in spring
lies,when the trading was fin
d and everything was ready
tbe start home, the young
told his parents that lie
Id walk on ahead, and taking
north road started out on foot,
the last seen of him, until,
chance he was discovered by
1- Core, near his ranch on
'cr Sand Creek. Mr. Core was
Ling on his claim, and the boy
dered near by and his pecti
actions caused Mr. Core to in
nate. He took the young man
to Mr. McQueston's place, and
brought from there to town,
was so thorughly demented
bewildered that he did not
v bis own name or age. It
learned who lie was after
Ling town, and his father came
him.

From January 1 to March 20 the

1K00 immigrants into Idaho, most
of them during the month of March,

Alien Immigration Figures
New York, March 26.—With a
total for the last week of 260,000
aliens and the prospects of at least
230,000 more to come in on the
steamships arriving this week, it is
probable that all immigration fig
ures will be broken before the
spring is ended. From all parts
of Europe alians are Ixjoked to ar
rive and the resources of the station
at Ellis island will be taxed to the
utmost. Robert Watchorn, com
missioner of immigration at Ellis
island, after a conference with F.
P. Sargent, commissioner general
of immigration, announced that
at the next session of congress
Mr. Sargent will ask for an appro
priation for the establishment on
Ellis island of a display of the
various states' resources.

"The Lost Paradise" a complete

The bill for Tuesday night is j
practically the best play that was ;
ever shown here. "The Silver |
King" is one of the very best of
the standard dramas, a very large i
production requiring almost a
half carload of scenery to produce ;
it as there are sixteen different;
scenes in five acts. A play that ,
awakes svmpathy and heart interest j
that appeals to all emotions. Lf

Marie Correlli's beautiful realistic

story of Norwegian life. Special
attention has been given all necess
ary details in the production to
make it jierfect as possible, the
special scenery, almost a half a
car load, is carried and a truly
great representation of the Alter
Fiord in summer and winter time
with electrical effects, giving a
vivid description of Rainbow
Bridge of Oden. The appearance
of the "Valkysie, The Nie
de/.gorz's, and Midnight Sim,
is conceded to be a master work in
scenic effect. After a great deal
of trouble on 'he part of Mr.'Bart
lett in securing this attraction, we
trust that it will be appreciated
and patronized as it is without
doubt the biggest and best show
we have had here, and the ar
rangements which have been made
enables company to play at prices
that are wit hin the reach of all.

the issue as St. Anthony is strong

A Vigorous Protest. I
- j
The settlers on the Minidoka re- j
clamation' project held a massjli
meeting in Minidoka on the 26th j E.
inst.. to protest against the segre- j
gation of $.1,000,000 from the Mini- Mr.
n
doka project for use on the Boise
Payette enterprise. The big wig
wam on Center street capable of ac
commodating 700 people, was se
cured for the occasion. W. N.
Shilling was elected as chairman
and F. A. Evelvth as secretary.
The object of the meeting was
explained by Frank Riblett of
Cassia county in an interesting 15
minutes talk on the situation show
ing that 400 bona fide settlers
would be practically thrown out
of house and home for years, and
in the majorty of cases perma
nentlv.
He was followed by other pro
minent men speaking along the
same lines, among them Messrs.
Scherrer, Chaney, Burgess, Sears
and Huggins. A committee
consisting of Frank Scherrer
Chaney and Evelyth were appoint
ed to draft a telegram to President
Roosevelt urging him to investi
gate the proposed segregation of
the Minidoka project funds and see
that justice was done to all par
ties. The committee dispatched
the following telegram to the pre
sident :
Minidoka, Ida., March 25, 1905.
To the Hon. Theodore Roose
velt, president of the United
States, Washington. D. C.--Not
less than 400 settlers, the majority
of them with wives and children,
having full confidence in the state
ments and assurances of the re
clamation and land department
and in conformity with the plats
showing farm units and instruc
tions issued by the interior depart
ment, ha ve made bona fide entries
j on lauds proposed to be covered
by the pumping section of the
Minidoka project. The proposed
withdrawal of $1,000,000 from
this project thus indefinitely post
poning the installation of the
pumping system,
will cause untold
hardships, financial loss and prac
t | ca i eviction to these settlers.
Will you look into this matter?

Tlu* Venice Assembly.
South of Santa Monica and
north of Playa Del Rev in South
ern California lies a narrow <tretch
of land, directly on the ocean
front for which nature has done
much, but for the past few months
man has been beautifying and im
proving the spot, making it one of
the most beautiful resorts in the
world ; and while tbe work is by
no means finished a fair idea of
the rare attractiveness of the place
can be obtained by a visit to it.
Venice is the name given to tili*;
ideal locality and truly a modern
Venice it seems with miles upon
miles of salt water canals, stately j
Venitian palaces and places of
amusement.
It is at this enchanted spot, in
pavilion seating 8000 neople
away beyond the line of breakers
where the breezes are always cool
and where everything conspires to
make the hours pleasant, that the
Venice Assembly is to be held
during July and August of 1905.
Benjamin Fay Mills whose name
is a household word throughout
America and who has recently
liecome permanent Minister of the
Los Angeles Fellowship, has been
elected President of the Associa
tion. The Vice Presidents who
have accepted their election in
clude tbe Hon. George C. Pardee,
Governor of California, the Hon.
George C. Perkins, U. S. Senator
from California, the Hon. Frauk
u H. Lane, the Hon. William
Smyther, Founder of the Nat
ional Congress of Irrigation, and
Mr. Abbot Kinney.
First. The plan includes a series
national sociological congress on
scale never before attempted in
America, excepting at the World's
Parliariient in Chicago in 1893.
Second. A Summer University
which all the lighter branches
general culture are to be taught,
including a School of Modern
Languages, a School of Music, a
School of Expression, a School
Ethics, and a School of Nature
Study .-,
Third. A series of lectures,
concerts, dramas, and other en
tertainments of the highest class,
by participants of national repu
tation.
Fourth. F7xhilirating recrea
tion in the form of pure and enobl
ing amusement. Daily concerts
by one of the finest bands in the
world, entertainments by the train
ed amateur dramatic society, and
get'eral effort to promote good
fellowship among those fortunate
enough to be present.
Fifth. Every Sunday morning
a great undenominational religious
service will be held in the audi
torium, with the finest sacred
music, and with sermons delivered
by representatives of the ^various
religious faiths.
To give an idea of the scope of
the work outlined it may perhaps
be said that in the first division of
the World's Parliament, it is pro
posed to hold nine great assemb
lies or congresses beginning July
4th, with a California Congress,
at which it is hoped Gov. Pardee
will preside. Others to be invited
include* U. S. Senators Perkins and
Flint and the Hon. Wm. E
Smythe.
A patriotic Congress will meet
to consider national and inter
national interests. President Roos
evelt will be invited by an influ
ential committee and strong hopes
are entertained that he will be able
to accept the invitation. Secretary
Taft will be invited to speak upon
"Our Colonial Problems," and
the attendance of other speakers
of the greatest prominence will be
solicited.
A Reform Congress, at which
Mr. Albert Shaw, Gov. Alva
Adams, Miss Ida Tarbell, Sena
tor La Follette, of Wisconsin, Mr.
Thomas J. Lawson, Mr. Clarence
Darrow, and others will be invited.
j
Plans for New Buildings.
Architect L. M. Earl, Jr., has
commenced work on the plans for
a store building for Messrs W. W
Hoops and B. C. Bowers, to lie
built where Mr. Hoops' barber
shop now stands. A basement will
be tinder the entire building with
the front part used as a barber
shop. The ground floor will be
occupied as a store and the second
floor will lie arranged for offices.
The building will be strictly up
to date in every way, together with
plumbing fixtures and a hot water
heating plant in the basement.
The building will be built of
brick with white stone trimmings,
and galvanized cornice.
Mr. Earl is making all possible
effort to have the plans complete
and contract let by the time good
weather sets in, and then the
building will lie rushed to com
pletion as soon as possible. Mr.
Earl is also figuring on two other
buildings for the town district,
and it certainly looks as though
our town will make a good show
ing in the building line this year.

We have this week two special
bargains in land near Sugar Fac
