AT Seattle

In making the moving picture
film showing the volcano of
Kilauea in action, the artist,
Ronine, had many difficulties to
overcome. The heat near the
crater is always intense, and
when the lava is flowing freely,
a close approach is nearly i'm
possible. In making the ex-
posures, the camera could not
be kept in position for a longer
time than one half minute. The
heat would destroy the plate or
film and render it useless. The
artist enveloped himself in a
covering of asbestos, and the
camera was protected by the
same material. By doing this
and by making only these very
short exposures, Mr.. Bonnie, by
his great patience, secured a
wonderful set of pictures alb
solutely correct in every detail.

there would be a full line of

gagement at Seattle. However
he did find sew raj single hand

county, and that the real efforts

of all weeds ahd obnoxious i'm

have been made into the terri
tory covered by the fair to Sc
cure exhibits, and four more

the association will have been
completed. On these two trips
very fiattering promises were
made regarding exhibits, so this

1t has been conceded that
there was water under the val
ley in spots, but was claimed
almost insanity to drill for it in
lava rock, and this find has
waited away the fallacy of this
past argument, leaving the un-
tarnished fact that with a slight
effort sufficient water can be
obtained to irrigate the entire
valley through the medium of
wells, probably artisan. Be-
lieying in the truth Of this, At
torney ]. G. Watts has secured
the services Of Mr., Robinson
and his drilling outfit to bore
for water on his farm on the
bench north OF town and ne is
sanguine in his belief that be-
fore many moons have .glided
across the heavens, he will have
sufficient water from a flowing
well to irrigate his entire farm.
II this can be satisfactorily
demonstrated, the growth Of
Mountain Home will be so phe-
nomenal that it is beyond the
power of pen to portray it IN
its. literal ,colors,, and it is a
growth that will know no
bounds, too.

Notwithstanding the threat

sky, the people gatherered in
the city park at the usual hour
for the services. The seating
capacity had been doubled yet
most every seat was occupied.

which all joined in singing, Rev.

showing the relation between
God and man. Church and non

union and harmony in these

to miss them. Come promptly

DRY
COUNTY is OPENED.
Judge Blair Addresses Enthusiastic
Audience at Opera House
"Wednesday Night

At the opera house Wednes.
day night, Judge. Blair OF
Portsmouth, Ohio, delivered a
powerful oration on the evils OF
the saloons and the benefits to
be derived by eradicating them
through the medium of the
local option law as passed BY
the last session of the leglsla-
ture. e.
Judge Blair is possessed OF a
marvellous personality, one OF
the essential features OF agood
orator, and with no perceptable
effort won the confidence and
trust of his large audience and
held their attention for two
hours. With figures. and In
disputable statistics he proved a
fact each state nent. that he
made. Taking as the base Of 'f
his argument the counties in
his own state which are dry and
those which are wet, he clearly
dispelled the omnious cloud,
pulled over the horizon by the
breweries and their henchmer,
carrying ruin and desolatlon IN
it's egrgious wake: through the
raising Of taxes following the
abolition of the saloons. Taxes
in the wet counties are hlghel
than in the dry because OF the
fact that the money flows into
the Golfers of the saloon mel
instead of the savings bank, and
as a natural consequence taxes 1s'
are harder to collect.
Judge Blair further proved
that vice, crime, divorce and IN:
sanity was by far more preva
lent in the wet counties than IN
the dry, and being in a position
where these defects of the
social life are constantly
brought before him as district !
Judge, he is competent to speak
with authority on this subject
Through statistics that can not
be refuted, he concluslvely
demonstrated that in the coun-
ties where every one hundred
and fifty people support a
saloon, fifty out of every one
hundred thousand people are
criminals, while in the dry
counties only one out of the
same number was sent to the
penitentiary.
Judge Blair closed his address
by admonishing the people Of
Elmore county to take advant
age of the opportunity present
ed to them on the sixth of next
month to rid the county OF the
same conditions that exist in
the wet counties of his state.

New Name For Opera House

AT the earnest solicitation OF
many of the residents Of Noun
tain Home and the mutual con-
sent Of the owners, the name OF
Garrett was taken from the
opera house and the name
STANDARD" applied. The change
affected the latter part Of the
week, was deemed advisable
owing to the fact that the man
whose name it has bore in the
past is no longer a resident of
this city, nor interested in this
popular play house. Manager
Cannon will continue his policy
of, booking only the very best
attractions on the road to
amuSe the people OF mountain
Home, and in connection with
this it is we'll to keep in mind
the. appearance Of Ex-Governor
Bob Taylor of Tennessee in his
rendition of "The Fiddle and
the Bow" at the Standard opera
house on the 18th of next
month. All told the Standard
will remain one of the best
opera houses in the southern
part of the state.

PEDESTRIAN ON A
LENGTHY RAMBLE
Correspondent for Philadelphia
Press Passes Through City on
Way to Seattle

Jack Williams, one time war
correspondent for the Phlladel-
phia Press, passed through the
city Wednesday en- route to
Seattle, which place he is
scheduled to reach on the 9th
day Of October. Mr.. Williams
is walking the entire distance
between Philadelphia and Seat
tie on a wager of $500 that he
could cover the 1000 miles in
$50 days. That he will win his
wager is now almost certain as
he is two days ahead of his
schedule and in fine physical
condition. He can not beg, bor-
row, steal or accept charity, To
do either one of these would
mean the forfeit of his wager
and to pay his way he is giving
lectures in any place where he
happens to have time, and is a
special correspondent for the
Philadelphia Press. He proved
himself an interesting talker in
his lecture at the Crystal thea
ter Wednesday, and judging by
the number Of commendable let
ters'he has with him he has
maintained this record since
leaving his home state.
