TO BE BUILT Alta COST OF $4,000
w Ill be Modern and Complete in Every
Respect.-The Movement Depends
Upon the People of the City.
Will be Asked to Help

Do the people of Washburn want
an Opera House, and if so will they
DE willing to help build it? Prud-
homme & Tyrrel will give them the
opportunity to say. For some time
these gentlemen, who are manag-
ers of the Opera Hall, have been
trying to make arrangements to fix
up the place and make it fit for the
theatrical business, but this ap-
pears to have fallen through, and
the gentlemen now propose, with
the help of the citizens to build a
new Opera House, which will be
modern and complete and up to date
in every respect. They wish to
erect an $4,000 stone and brick
building on the site now occupied
by their insurance office. The plan
is to have a seating capacity of 900
people, with balconies, and every
thing strictly modern. The citizens
will be asked to purchase 400 tickets
for the opening night at $40 a
ticket, which will be practically a
bonus for the undertaking. The
city is to be thoroughly canvassed
during the next few days, and if the
people take hold of the matter as
they ought Washburn will have a
nice little opera house that will be a
credit to the city.

But FIVE DAYS REMAIN
CENSUS MUST BE COMPLETED BY
FRIDAY.

while five working days remain, and
the work of the enumerators has prog
ressed fairly well, l wish to request the
public to assure a complete return by
making a little effort to assist the
enumerators next week." said Census
Supervisor Vanish yesterday. "a large
amount of work in the way of second
calls, verifcation, etc, remains to be
done, and satisfactory showing can
not be made unless the work of the
enumerators the coming week is facilitat-
ed by the people. In each district
few have been found who have seemed
to think they were under no obligation to
give the desired information and these
have not all been of the ignorant sort,
either. Several calls have had to be made,
and the work of the enumerators has thus
been considerably retarded. Most of the
ground therefore has to be gone over,
and, although a number of the enumera-
tors have practically completed their
work, there remains enough to be done
to occupy the remaining time, however
well disposed the enumerators may find
the people in the closing days.
Il hope that the patriotism of the peo-
pie will prompt than to aid In making a
showing that will fairly reflect the clty's
growth in the past decade. [ need scarce
ly repeat that the time ifmit is absolute,
and L shall have to submit the returns
as 1 have them next Friday night"

TEACHERS SIDE OF IT.
They Are Not "BeIng Paid for Va
cations"


To the Editor of the Globe:
Profound establishment exists among
those familiar with the facts that the
q b should have fallen a victim to
the stale fiction about teachers being
paid for weeks of vacation-a fiction in
vented to cover up some most UPRIGHT
eous Juggling Of school finances, for which
MI McCardy was not responsible.
The facts are as follows: The teachers
are employed by the year. not the week
nor the month. When they have taught
the term fixed by the board they are en-
titled to their full annual salaries This
Is surely too simple a proposition in law
and Justice to admit Of argument. Fur
thermore. they are entitled to a proper
uonal part of their full annual salary for
every month they teach. Is this not
have taught the fun term fixed by the
board, and will yet suffer a loss of q
part of their annual salary. This is the
nasty fact which it is sought to cover up
by talking about vacation pay
How did it happen? In place of receiy-
ing four thirty-eighths OF their annual
pay every month, as they are entitled by
law to do. they have received four
is easier to divide by one-tenth than by
four thirty-eighths. What has become of
the remainder? That has been held back
every month, without warrant of law or
authority. And it is this back pay, which
they have already earned and were by
law entitled to receive each month that
is now called vacation pay" This is to
add insult to Injustice. 1t is bad enough
to be defrauded every month of a portion
Of ones hard-earned salary; it is worse to
lose part of it in the end; but it is in
tolerable and not to be borne that the
portion of this back pay which they &C
tually do obtain should be flung to them
with a sneer as vacation pay" The
teachers are patient and long suffering.
but there is limit Even the worm viii
turn at last, as some of the politicians
have recentiy discovered. And thic con
tinued and persistent malicious misrep-
resentation has already passed the point
where patience ceases to be virtue
