Tiff, commissioner appointed by
Gov. John A. Johnson to appraise
the property Of Itasca and Koochi-
ching counties, were to have left for
Grand Rapids this evening to begin
their work, but business duties of
one of the the commissioners have
caused the start to be postponed
one week.
The property is to be appraised
so that fair division may be had
between the county of Itasca and
the new county of Koochiching. The
bone of contention seems to be the
Itasca county poor farm, on which
valuable iron ore is said to be
located.

BAR ASSOCIATION WILL
GIVE BANQUET SEPT. 27
Betrami County Lawyers Will Banquet Senator Clapp
Congressman Steenerson, and Judges McClenahan
and Spooner, During Fair.

A meeting of the Beltrami County
Bar association was held yesterda,
afternoon at the office of C. Nc
Kusick, president of the association
The most important matter taken
up at the meeting was the question
of giving a banquet in honor of
Senator Moses f. Clapp, Congress-
man Halvor Steenerson, and Judges
McClenahan and Spooner.
After some discussion it was
decided to give the banquet at the
Hotel Markham some evening dur
ing the forthcoming fair, September
26, 27 or %.
Twelve members of the associa-
ton were present at yesterdays
afternoon meeting, and the sugges-
tion of the banquet was enthusi-
astically received, and the following
committee appointed to have charge

game, he will undoubtedly give the
county chaps" a run for their
money" r.
The city-county game to be played
on old Settlers Day" will undoubt-
edly prove an interesting feature of
the fair.
The game which was played
recently between the two teams
resulted in a victory for the city, by
a small margin. The game was wit
messed by large crowd and the
entire affair was ludicrous in the
extreme.
Ike Black, whose eccentric actions
and great makeup created roars of
laughter, will again ohfciate as
jumps"
The game is scheduled for 10 a.
m. and will undoubtedly draw large
crowd to the fair grounds.

of the affair:
f. F. Mcdonald, D. H. Fisk, and
Graham NJ. Torrance.
This committee was instructed to
confer with the management of the
fair as to which evening during the
fair would be the most convenient
to give the banquet.
Congressman Steenerson speaks
here on the first day of the fair, Sep
tember Goth; Senator Clapp will
speak on the 9th; Judge McClena-
han will be holding court here at
that time: and as all three gentle
men will be here on Friday evening,
September 9th, the banquet will
undoubtedly be given that evening.
1t is expected that it will be one
of the most enthusiastic affairs of
the kind ever held in the north half
of the state.

AUTO FALLS INTO

REAL ESTATE DEALER BLOCKS
TRAFFIC
S. r. Smiths Machine Tumbles Down
Excavation of Los Angeles
Gas and Electric Conn
pany

S. T. Smith, q, real estate man with Of
fees in the o. T. Johnson building,
drove his big White steamer into an ex-
cavation at Third street and Broadway,
and for nearly an hour blockaded the
crossing.
1t was not Smiths fault that the acci-
dent occurred, but that of the Los An
geles Gas and Electric company, which,
he says, has torn up the street and left
hole six feet deep and thirty inches
wide along Third street without any pro-
lection whatever. At the point where
Mr.. Smith plunged his automobile into
the hole there was no light to show that
the hole was there.
Smith was driving west on Third street
and at Broadway crossed the tracks of
the street railway almost in the center
of the street. His front wheels dropped
into the excavation and there stuck. For
tunately the machine was moving at slow
speed and Mr.. Smith, who was the only
occupant of the car. was not injured.
A crowd gathered in a few minutes
and with the assistance of a score of
men the machine was lifted from the
excavation and the blocked up street
cars on both lines were able to continue
on their journeys.

SAYS FERRIS WILL HAVE
THEATER IN -oS ANGELES

Dick Ferris closed his summer season
at Minneapolis Saturday night and
telegram to the dramatic editor of The
Herald announces that the farewell per-
formance of the Ferris company was
made the occasion of big demonstra-
ton. Several hundred persons were
turned away from the theater unable to
gain admission.
At the close of the third act Mr.. Fer
ris was presented with a $3.50 Tiffany
lamp, the presentation speech being
made by Jack O'Brien, the pugilist Wal
ter Hoff Sealy Los Angeles real estate
man, was master of ceremonies and in
a brief speech told the audience that
new Ferris theater' is to be erected in
Los Angeles.
There were rumors of this before Ferris
left last spring, but the announcement
made in Minneapolis is the first public
admission that such project is seriously
contemplated.
If it comes at ALL however, the new
theater wil$S not be built this season. as
Ferris is ufnA,er contract to play sixteen
weeks at the Auditorium, where his COM
pany opens November IL.
OF course Ferris made a speech, and
equally, of course, it was in the usual

sHALFBREED'
IS REVIVED
MucH-LIKEp MELoDRAMA AGAIN
PRESENTED
HEAsLEY MAKES GOOD IN THE
TITLE ROLE
Play Which Broke All Los Angeles
Records Last Season Seems
Due for Another Long

.oThe Halfbreed" entered upon another
run at the Burbank theater yesterday
Last season the piece ran five weeks,
breaking all Los Angeles records. Yes
terday the house was completely sold out
for both matinee and night performances
How long the play will last this year re-
mains to be seen, but it seems safe to
/ predict for it fortnight at the very
least.
"The Halfbreed" is a made in Los
Angeles play. Its authors are ii. ID.
Cottrell and oliver Morosco. 1t is meio-
drama of the better class, and 1t mas
been given lavish production. Nothing
more realistic than the rainstorm OF the
third act ever has been seen on local
stage, and the mountings for all four
acts are exceptionally good Moreover,
the drop scene used with the songs Ma
-lita" and %Little Papoose" is an ex-
eelIent example both of the scene
painter's art and of the electricians
craft. hese songs also are made In
Los Angeles products, having been com
posed and written by Joe Montrose, the
Burbank's press representative.
There seems to be little need at this
time to attempt any critical analysis of
play which has been seen and ap-
plauded by more people in Los Angeles
than any other single work of recent
authorship. Nor has the approval been
confined to Los Angeles alone. In Min
neapolis Dick Ferris broke all, his own
records with THE Halfbreed," and up
north in Portland the melodrama was
given not less enthusiastic reception.
A Great Success
The play was written confessedly to
please the people and it has succeeded be-
yond the most sanguine expectations or
hopes of its authors. 1t has several tell
ing situations and few faults; one bad
one, at the close of the last act, where
the final curtain is delayed so long that 1t
falls upon an ant,-clmax.
Probably the melodrama owes it's sue
cess first to the novelty of its character
drawing, and second to the fact that 1t
tells rather good love story in a highly
interesting manner.
The cast for the present production dill
fers slightly from that of last year, the
most notable change being the substitu-
ton of A. Byron Beasley for Mace Green
leaf in the title role. Mr.. Greenleaf was
greatly admired in the part Mr.. Beas-
ley probably will make an equally faVor-
able impression. His portrayal OF the
rascally halfbreed, having the bad traits
of both races and lie good of neither, is
consistently good, devoid of the little
melodramatic touches of villainy which SO
often mar the presentation of similar
roles except for one false note at the close
where ne has been unable to keep away
from the old, familiar, baffled laugh,
common to stage villains since melo-
drama was created. This is little thing,
worthy of note only because 1t constitutes
a hlemish upon an otherwise excellent
perfoY SS1ce

Is lust the thing to refresh one on an

1t is impossible to buy fresh biscuit or

The National Biscuit company comes
to the rescue with biscuit and waters Of
all kinds in moisture and dust proof

Perhaps the most popular for the sum

Social Tea biscuit should be served from

There's one feature in the show that
should not be overlooked. Heretofore

prerogative is challenged by an upstart,

off, however early in the play and Miss

through it, so she has no occasion for
jealousy just yet.
