Harold Bell Wright and Elsbery W Reynolds adapt The Shepherd of the Hills for the Elgin Opera house after August 28. The piece follows a popular novelist and dramatist duo as a major summer attraction amid river traffic booming and coal prices rising.
Local notes from Elgin cover business, farming, and crime. Topics include Buick sales to R O Peterson and Sam Butikofer, a missing unidentified body north of North McGregor, affordable crops and shell prices, and community improvements such as the City Hall paint job, a new church-sign partnership, and local labor movements. Reports also note flour price hikes, a police case with a $200 fine, and upcoming fairs in Payette County.
