had "jobbed'' the supervisors, and, ne
added there are four members Oh
that board who will be jobbed."
Alexander and Manning pleaded ear
nestly with the other members to make
a Reimbursement for bids on the lines
of Shaw's letter. Shaw, while taking
no active part in the discussion, ex-
pressed the belief that this was the
proper method to pursue, and said he
did not see any reason for haste, as the
bonds could not be printed in less than
e. month or sixty days, and that the
money therefore could not be procured
on accepted bids before that time.
Public Gets Worst Of 1t
"You are not treating the public
right" said Alexander, 10 which the
chs irman replied that he had consulted
with five bond men, who told him the
specification in the advertisement re-
garding conditions and limitations or
bids was a secondary consideration. =.
WHO are these men? Name them!
demanded Alexander.
IT don't remember their ma mes,' re-
sponded the chairman.
zone of them was Martin inter-
jected Manning; II saw you talking TO
him this morning"
T. 70. Newlin, vice president of the
Farmers e. Merchants National bank,
told the board he would guarantee
premium of 100000 if the bonds were
awarded to him under the advertised
call.
"And do you think it would be jus
tice to YOU If someone else presented
a bid not according to the specif1ca-
lions and that bid was accepted?'
asked Alexander.
mo, 1 do not think So" replied the
banker.
Manning moved that the board fol-
low the recommendations contained
in Shaws letter. This was seconded by
Alexander, and the vote stood as 1t mas
in almost all important matters before
the board, 8 to 2.
Then Shaw, with the remark that as
his proposition had lost he would aid
the board in accordance with the ma
iority opinion, framed the resolution in
line with the plan offered by Patterson
There was an apparent reluctance on
the part of any member to move Tor
its adoption. Manning and Alexander
again pleaded for a Reimbursement TO
run ten days or even week.
Scores Solid Three
1--WE must stop delegating our powers
to Others" burst out Patterson. go TO
the city hall and ask anybody there to
delegate its powers to some outside per-
sons and see what you will get. rms
board should get closer uoSelhel ditu
if each would give little and take
little"
This brought Alexander to his feet.
Banging the table he almost shouted:
IT have never seen the solid three give
way to anything"
The resolution offered by Patterson
was then adopted, 8 to 2, and the board
adjourned.
T. E. Newlins proposition to the
board is as follows: "If you will sell
the entire amount Of bonds, $3,5OO,OOO, to
be issued and delivered as per call Tor
bids / am authorized to guarantee that
the county will realize a premium of
100000 on the bonds"
This proposition is in strong contrast
with the offer made by ]. r. Martin
when the bonds were disposed of pri-
vately, the premium then offered being
$3.50.

TALK AND SING TOGETHER
BEFORE CURTAIN RISES
"Land of Nod" Has Been Opening
Performance at Seven Theaters.
Miss Webb Is First
Principal

Who will speak the first line Monday
night upon the stage Of the new Ma
jestic theater?
The question probably never can be
answered with authority. Ordinarily
there would be little difficulty, but
it happens that when the curtain rises
upon the prologue of 1.-THE Land of
Nod" the stage is filled with girls
dressed as children and at play. Every
one is talking, singing and dancing at
once. In fact they begin before the
curtain goes up.
This matter of the first line in new
theater Is no novelty to members Of the
Land of Nod" company. 1t so hap
pens that the big spectacular extrava-
ganza has opened no fewer than seven
new houses this season. The Majestic
will be the eighth and after the com
pany leaves here it will work it's way
slowly up the coast, and in Kelso,
Wash. will open still another new
theater.
Got Composite Picture
In each city where 1.-THE Land of
Nod has given the first performance
in a new playhouse this question of
identity has sprung up. At Memphis,
Tenn, one of the newspapers sent q
photographer to take a picture of the
girl OF course he couldn't find her,
but he was a young man of ingenuity
and compromised by making q COM
posite photograph of all of them.
Since the present season opened 1.-The
Land of Nod has given first perform
ances in theaters in Danville, Va.
Memphis Tenn. Houston, Tex. Fort
Worth, Tex, Oklahoma City, okla,
Muskogee, Okla. and Elk City, Okla.
In Memphis the picture of the girl
who spoke the first word is on record,
though 1t is rather blurred In the
other places no record was made.
One of the girls whose portraits are
shown above will utter the first word
from the Majestic stage Monday night,
but If you can pick out the right one
you will have accomplished something
that the company's stage director con-
fesses he is unable to do,
The first principal to speak from the
new stage, however, will be Miss Doro-
thy Webb, a daughter of Teddy Webb,
who plays the part Of Bonnie and
around whose dream visit to Nod the
spectacular musical extravaganza has
been written.

LOWELL ALICE TAYLOR TO
APPEAR AT THE BURBANK
Actress viii Play Comedy Roles with
Miss Florence Stone-Her New
York Engagement Has
Been Postponed

Miss Lowell Alice Taylor has been
engaged by Manager Oliver M orosco OF
the Burbank and Majestic theaters to
play a special engagement with the
Burbank stock company, opening in a
few weeks. During the remainder of
the Florence Stone starring engagement
at this house plays have been selected
which outside of the star part have a
strong feminine comedy role. The
parts have been submitted to Miss
Taylor and she is enthusiastic over
their possibilities. Several comedies
are on the list and as Miss Taylor
ability as az coincidence is well known;
she should find at the Burbank ample
opportunities for the display of her
artistry. She has many friends and
admirers in the city who will be
pleased to learn that her anticipated
return to New York city has been in
definitely postponed.
Every effort. was made upon the
opening of the seat sale yesterday
afternoon for the first week of the new
Majestic theater to prevent the ac-
emulation of tickets by spectators.
Manager oliver Morosco had issued in
structions limiting the number of seats
sold to individual purchasers and it is
thought that a very large proportion
of the seats sold yesterday were dis
posed of to purchasers who intend to
use them themselves. There may, of
course, be some scalping, but 1T Ger
tainly will not be extensive.
The line in front of the box office
Yesterday TO secure Seats for the big
snectaoular extravaganza, THE Land
of Nod" remained unbroken from 8
o'clock, when the sale opened, until
after o'clock. Then there was a brief
interval during which the ticket seller
was occupied with struggling purchas-
ers. Early in the Afternoon, however,
the line reformed. Buyers bought for
au performances during the week.
however, and consequently desirable
seats are still to be had at the box Of
fice for any one of the night or matinee
performances. including the special

SAL FRANCISCO, Nov. 1S.-Experts

an increase of $1,000 over the estimate

a poor time to commence dispute on
Saturday night when about midnight
and tongue-lashed each other across

standing in the street just below them
and the sounds of the wordy warfare
drifted to the ears of the waiting po-

the two women had the neighborhood
aroused and advising them to shus up.
Then the police interfered and the rest
