"KING CHOP SUEY''
Large Crowds Greet Our Local

Performance.

The Japanese Extravaganza "King
Chop Suey" at the opera house
Tuesday evening, given by the young
ladies Of SIS Peter and Paul's church
under the direction of Mr.. and Mrs.
ID. ID. Smith, was the entertainment
feature Of the week, and was greeted
with good houses both evenings.
The performers consisted wholly of
local talent, aud considering The fact
that it was the first appearance be-
fore an audience for many of them,
all acquitted themselves of their
particular parts in a very credita BILE
manner and encores were frequent
and applause general. Part First
was the extravaganza proper, and
consisted of sixty or more voices,
separated into parts as follows:
Twelve whites; two negroes; four
Indian girls led by big chief repre-
sented in a realistic manner by A. J.
Freund; one genuine representative
of the Emerald Isle portrayed true to
life by Charles Laramie; twenty-four
Japanese ladies beautifully costumed
in the winSome garbS of the native
Japs: two pages. Fred Stamm took
the part of the bogus king, W. f.
Lower took the part of the true king,
and the Goddess of Liberty was
beautifully represented by Miss
Carolyn Kuntz. The final entrance
of the true king, the Goddess of
Liberty and their followers singing
the chorus of "Uncle Sammy" oc-
casioned loud and long applause,
showing the true patriotism of the

unfolds her stars and stripes in their

PRICES OF PULP WOOD
VERY MUCH HIGHER

Report of the Dominion statiStician
recently made public show that, dur
ing October, Canada exported to this
country, 63,l cords of pulp wood,
and the value thereof is assumed to be
$685. 075 During the four months
ended in October the exports of pulp
wood amounted to 26S.S55 cords aud
the value to S1,l9l, ,O76 The value in
one case is apparently about 81 SO a
cord aud in the other slightly less,
but the accuracy of this value is dis
puted by manv Canadian pulp manu-
fact urerS. who say that they cannot
geu wood at 50 low IL price. or course
this is presumed to be the price the
wood cutter gets for wood, practically
just off the stump, sometimes many
miles from railroad or river, and at
all times with the bark still on. There
is vast deal of expense to be incurred
before the wood is delivered rossed at
the mill door. But without doubt,
the statistician's figure is too low for
4
the wood even in the condition in
which the farm-cutter delivers it.
The fact is, the statistical officer has
no means of arriving at the correct
figure. AS there is neither export
duty in Canada nor import duty in
the United States, there is no warrant
for demanding sworn statements OF
value. The statiStician can only take
such figures as are given him and
pass them along for what they are
worth. THE PAPER MILL makes
public the Dominion statistics, like
wise for what they are worth, but
it does not guarantee their accuracy
1t would be too big contract and al
too long range. The one real fact
which the paper manufacturers or
this side cannot escape. is this, that
when the Canadian pulp wood is
ready to go into their grinders, it ha;
cost them, in one way and another
somewhere from S11 to s12 a cord

MYSTERY IN SAVANNA CRIME
STILL REMAINS LNSOLVED

that big Dan" Berry met his death at
the hand of Boutwell, Pulford, a drug
gist, who was Berry's landlord.
This is not to say that any Of them
would take their oath that Pulford
killed Berry, but they can explain the
mystery Of the murder upon no other
hypothesis, and a murder like this one
demands explanation, especially in a
small village, where each inhabitant
knows all the others.
The reason assigned for believing
that Pulford killed Berry is that gos.
sip has had 1t for several years that
the relations between Berry and the
wife Of the druggist were not what
they should be. There have been
strollings together, carriage rides, and
clandestine meetings. all of which
were properly embellished by the in
terpretations Of the village gossips.
The Woman In the Case"
Mrs. Pulford is a woman of about
40 years of age is said to be such a
woman as would naturally attract a
man like Berry at the same
time the relations between Ber.
Try and his own wife have
been harmonious and their home life
happy. On the contrary, 1t is said
that Pulford and his wife have not had
pleasant domestic sailing for the last
FIVE years and that their relations
seemed at times strained to the break
ling point. Then the town gossir
grows more definite in Its insinuations
and says that for some time Berry has
gone armed, and that the reason fol
this nrecaIItion was warning ra
|ceived from Pulford. What the warn
ing was can be surmised from the ma
Iture Of the precaution.
