GREAT GALAXY
Of STARS HEARD
IN GRAND OPERA
Audience Delighted With
Opening Night's Double
Bill of San Carlo Com
pany's Engagement.
Salazar and Elizabeth Ams
den Win Praise—"Tales
of Hoffman'' at Matinee
Today and "Faust" at
Closing Performance.
By MRS. J. G. GREEN.
There vai a sparkling galaxy of
gtar» In Maacagna'a "Cavalleria Rua
tlcana" and Leoncavella's "I Pagllac
ysl'* aa preaented by the San Carlo Op
[era company at the Plnney theatel
jlnst evening. There vaa a hint of :|
.Caruso voice In both, and la Salazar
avae the moat brilliant constellation of
|the group with Elizabeth Amaden se
cond In radiance, it must have been
due not only to their excellence of tone
t>ut also to the temperament of eaoh.
The big, appreciative audience which
filled the whole theater expressed Its
Appreciation of both In hearty applause
And Salazar was given an ovation.
AD the "first nlghters" were there,
And some, whose eara long attuned to
grand opera In the big cities of the
eastern states and down ln San Fran
cisco where even the suburbanites can
not exist without grand opera, came In
An the trains or motored In from the
new towns miles and miles away to
revel again In the melody of old time
favorites. And a royal feast It was.
Salazar has a tremendous personality.
IHls losres and his hatreds are expressed
with the depth and intensity which be
longs to his race. And hie race la the
Latin which ever sings of the passion
ate red rose of love and the cold white
Steel of hata He does It well; and he
draws hie audience with him to heights
sublime or they go down to the bot
tomless pit with him In a tempest of
«rief and a vengeful whirlwind of fury
which slays to the death on Its way.
That he can express all this In a
magnificent voice and that added to
the voice Is a mastery of the art of
acting as well, gives a faint Idea of the
virile Interpretation and rich coloring
with which Salazar endows his part.
WON HER AUDIENCE.
Elizabeth Amaden'a name does not
suggest a daughter of Italy or Sicily.
That she Is, however, in temperament
akin to the warm-blooded people of
the sunny Venetian plain, was regally
patent last night when she sang her
self Into the hearts of her audience as
the betrayed and unhappy Santuzza.
Romance and tragedy, love and de
spair spoke In the vibrant quality of
her voice and the Intensity of her emo
tions, which also found expression In'
part In her acting. Her beauty was
a delight to behold.
Stella Demette as Lola, the faith
less wife of Alflo, was artistically
clever, cruel and repellant, which com
prised the qualities sought by ths
composer, and which were sung with
gracs and charm. Alflo, the part ta
ken by Angelo Antola, was the true
Blcllllan and his revenge was sdmlr
ably visualised In his presentation.
Alice Homer deserves a positive
I tribute for her sincerity, her grace and
[above all tor a pure, clear soprano that
[suggests a wonderful wealth of music
I yet to be heard.
In I Fagltaoc, Luisa Darclee took the
.part of Ned (la with a finely balanced
sense of the requirements of the mu
.ito and the play that was very fine.
Tonla the down, was Impersonated
[t>y Angelo Antola, while Salazar took
the part of Cento, the deceived hus
rfband. Baisser was again the domt
rnant spirit In this opera ae In the
I othsss while Antola made an exceed
ingly clever Tonlo.
Luigi DellcmoUe'z Silvio, the young
farmer, who has conceived a swiftly
requited passion for Nedda, had a
good voice which hs used pleasingly.
Luciano Rasslna was excellent In the
role of the Harlequin.
SPLENDID CHORUS.
The chorus formed a melodious
background for ths principals, render
ing excellent support. Unusual charm
In costuming and scenic effects was
apparent»
Carlo Terotrt as conductor wielded a
baton which seemed slmost alive, so
vigorous and yet so sensitive was It.
The artists were liberal In respond
ing to the encores which greeted them
and gave of their talent generously. It
was a warm, sympathetic audience,
too. Just the kind of an audience
.Urs are glad to sing for. The close
nersonal feeling between artists and
audience was clearly evident and it
was difficult to determine which was
the best pleased.
Among the out-of-town music lovers
who attended the opera wer. K. J.
Sweeley and Mrs. Sweeley of Twin
Falls, who are In town until Wednes
day There were a number of others,
beautiful, stately matrons, and fair
young society girls In exquisite eve
ning gowns, all frankly delighted with
the music.
Offenbach's singular fantasy, Tin
Tales of Hoffman," follows last even
ing's offerings In today's matinee, and
this evening the opera of "Faust
(Gounod), will be given.
Stomach Troublss.
If you have trouble with your sto
mach you should try Chamberlain s
Tablets. So many have been restored
to health by the use of these tablets
and their cost Is so little. 2S cents, that
it Is worth while to give them a trial.

OLD LOOKS?
(BY DA V. U PIERCE.)
Persons suffering from too much urli
acid in the system frequently tool
older than they should. They act
faster and the appearance of gray hail
or baldhead in early years is, indeed
often a sign of uric acid. The fac«
appears lean and haggard, lines anc
wrinkles appearing in young men 01
women.
A The best way to combat this prema.
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest. Drink copiously of pure watei
between meals. Obtain at any. drug
»tore a small package of Anuric which
is to be taken before meals, in order to
expel the uric acid from the system. The
painful effects of backache, lumbago,
rheumatism, gout, due to uric acid in
the blood should quickly disappear after
treatment with Anuric.

Blessing to Womankind.

The game department of the state
was pressed into service and used all
of Its activities toward making a typo
graphical map of the state which is
cry valuable, and Is the first map of
ny of the states to be finished and
has been turned over to the United
States forestry department by order
of the national government.
The state health department lent
valuable aid by having the head of
this department, Dr. F. T. Biwer, go
nto the different localities, where a
I hyslclan was not available on the
local board, and act In his profession
al capacity in the examination of the
drafted men.
Various congressP« held throughout
the United States for the purpose of
disseminating new Ideas of hygiene
have been attended by Dr. Biwer, and
splendid results have been obtained i
therefrom, which are now being em
bodied In the work of this state.
The livestock sanitary board of the
state hns.givrn much aid in its atten
tion to the conservation of the live
stock Industry and the wiping out of
dieeaee. In many instances it fur
nished free of charge serum for the
inoculation of hogs to keep down the
hog cholera in communities that were
not able to bear the expense.
The wool industry of the state has
been protected against disease by see
ing that the sheep are dipped against
scab so that all danger of disease
among our livestock has been mini
mised or entirely prevented by the
care bestowed by the livestock depart
ment, so we can say today that the
state 1s practically irhmune from dis
euse owing to the precautions taken
and is furnishing its full share of the
food supply in the shape of meat for
the nation's meat.
The year 1917 witnessed the chris
tening of the battleship Idaho nt the
New York Corporation shipyard at
Camden, N. J., in the prestmee of the

It will be completed In 1918 and when
completed it will be one of the most

RESERVE CORPS.

thorities, and this organisation will be
a liu(lets upon which other organiza
tions of like nature will be attached.
The government promises to furnish
clothing, equipment and as soon as the
rush of equipping the regular army is
over, no doubt the reserve corps will
be equipped and to all appearances be
like the regular army.
The number of men that Idaho fur
nished for the national army at the
officers' training camp at the Pre
sidio was as follows: Six captains, 28
first lieutenants, 2ft second lieutenants.
A splendid showing, equal to that of
any state according to its population.
The state delivered for the first
draft 2408 men at a cost of $3.8'» per
man, making the expense of entraining
a man the third smallest of any state
In the Union.
A great deal of the expense hereto
attached was absorbed by the state,
which has been very much appreciated
by the national government. This is a
patriotic act on the part of the state of
Idaho and there have been only two
other states that have done likewise.
Some of the counties of the state have
dene nobly, the whole expense of one
of the counties in complying with the
first draft was only $8.73, and that was
tor clerical hire.
Adjutant General Moody accompan
ied the Second Idaho regiment to Gamp
Greene. He looked after their welfare
en route and bade them good-byé as
the regiment was dissolved temporar
ily and in place of the Idaho national
guard were sworn in as members of
the great army of the republic.
The governor visited Gamp lapwis
near Tacoma to see the Idaho boys who
are wearing the khaki uniform of the
nation. They were well and happy and
I was proud of the class of men that
the mothers of Idaho have sacrificed to
their country's call.
The second draft is now under way.
the questionnaires are being sent out
and everything being prepared so when
the call is sent out, Idaho's quota of
men desiganted for moblization will
take place promptly. It is not yet
known what the number will be and
we will probably not know for several
weeks.
Since the call of the second draft
was made, there have volunteered from
the state of Idaho 695 men most of
whom are now in Salt Lake awaiting,
their turn to be mustered into the ser
vice, they will be looked after, and if*
their w-ants are not supplied, the stat!
will take a hand in helping them until
such time as the government will meet
their requirements.
The total number of men in Idah
registered for military duty under th<
draft is 41,689. leaving a reserve of
39,352 yet to be called under the régis
t ration.
Some of these of course will not pass
physically and naturally will be ex
empted and the amount of men that
Idaho will have to furnish will not be
definitely ascertained until the futur:*
develops from time to time.
The state government is ready for
all emergencies and demands that the
national government may require of
us. Internally, it is at peace and ever.,
community is striving to do its utmost
and all matters of state government aiv
adjusting themselves to meet the new
conditions of war. and the additional
obligations to meet these new' condi
tions of war.
The extra, obligations to meet these
new conditions are accepted by th *
various departments of state govern
ment with pride no matter what extra
labor it may entail.
The state board of examiners, con- j
sisting of the governor, the secretary «»r I
state, attorney general and Ptate aud
itor. at a meeting held early in thp year
resolved that whenever the necessit>
should arise to issue deficiency war
rants for the purpose of carrying on
the activities of war. that the state 1
board of examiners will vote for the ,
allowance of same and the auditor will
sign such deficiencies.
We have had offers from many banks j
throughout the state offering to tak
IBftft or more of the deficiency war
rants so that the activities of war will
not be hindered.
Wherever the state government has
turned and has asked the co-operation
of its citizens, morally and financially,
it has met with a hearty response, and
with that outburst of patriotism in
Idaho, which no doubt is supplemented
in all the other states of the union,
the nation can bravely face the storm
before it and look with perfect confi
dence to the days of sunshine that are
bound to -ome, when the banner of
the Stars and Stripes shall come hack
from th® soil of France victorious, hav
ing accomplished its mission of crush
ing out forever militarism and despot
ism from the face of the earth, and
the flag which we so dearly love shall
not alone be recognized as the Stars
and Stripes of America, but it will hr
the emblem of deliverance and hope
for the people of the world.
