"A DOLLS HOUSE,"


! listened to Miss Jane Core ,ran':
beautiful and exquisitely artistic
rendition of Henrik Ibsen's Drama
"a Dolls House" last Wednesday
night, at the Auditorium, were
surely repaid for Drawing the rain
and the slush to enjoy what prov
ed to be the greatest dramatic treat
of the season.
| Miss Corcoran is certainly an
accomplished actress, far above
the ordinary. Her acting as Nora
in lbsen's play was exquisite, true
to nature, intense. 1t was indeed
a joy to look on as her genius
breathed into life the ideas that
had lived only in the Dramatist's
brain; and with the support Of her
excellent Company, made them
live for time on the mimic stage
so naturally and with such in
tensity, that those who saw and
heard, and were under the influence
of her magnetism, forgot that they
were only in the realms ofmimicry,
the land Of make-belief; and truly
felt for the moment that life, actual
life, the Dolls wife life, with its
joys, it's hopes, it's mistakes, it's
tenderness, its love and its great
disappointment, was truly there
before them, SO real did it all seem.
1t was truly splendid play,
splendid acted.

OF Messrs. Wilson Mckerall, James
a. Peterman, Charles A. O'Niell and
L. Wilcox, met last Tuesday
for the purpose of opening bids for
the new High School for this town.
After remaining in session two days,
they accepted the bid of the Gulf Con-
structlon Company. of Houston, Tex
as. amounting to s49. $500. Certain
were made, such as SUBJ
galvanized iron in place of
copper in the cornices, and emitting
the fire walls on the sides of the build
ing, and thus reducing the cost about
81, $40 90.
The Franklin High School is going
to be one of the handsomest and best
equipped school buildings in the
state. The bid includes the heating
apparatus, which is a thoroughly
scientific affair, and the plumbing and
wiring. which are also very extensive
and complete. The alterations which
have been made from the original
plans will allow other alterations of /.
more substantial benefit.
The time limit set for the completion
If the building is eight months-two
months for the arrival of material and
'ix months for actual work. We pre-
sumo quite an amount of the work
will be sub-contracted for by the sue
,essful bidders, and will be done by
home people. The building site, we

supported on steel towers, will flash the

used in and about the city of Los Angeles.
1t was in 1900 that a hydraulic engineer
inspected the Kern canyon and noted the
marvellous water power wasting itself in
noisy tumbles down the steep grades. The
Edison Company of Los Angeles became
interested and the following spring sur

struments and notebooks. Soon followed
an army of workmen, heavy wagons and
tons of freight. machinery and building
materials. The canyon was practically in
