NANCE Is STAMPED OUT.
Joseph Mercer, Live Stock Commits
sioner, Has 1t Conquered.

Joseph Mercer the live stock COM
missioner, has perfected plans for his
spring campaign in the mango section
of the state. He expects. within the
next month or two. to be able to raise
the quarantine in all the inland coun-
ties and also ii. all the border counties
except possibly three or four on the
Colorado line and as many on the Ok
lahoma line. If the authorities of these
states would pay more attention to the
task of stamI-ing out the mango, says
Mr.. Mercer. there would be no need of
a quarantine on the border counties.
The counties which are to be kept in
quarantine are: Wallace. Greeley, Ham
ilton, Stanton. Morton. Stevens, Sew
ard, Meade. and Clark.

BOND SUIT IS ARGUED.
Question About validity of Concession
to Garden City & Northern.

Edgar Roberts. county attorney or
Finney county, is here today in the
interest of his county in the suit
brought in the supreme court to force
State Auditor Nation to register the
bonds voted by Garden City for the
railroad recently built from that place
to Scott City. The writ of mandamus
was argued in the supreme court this
morning and briefs in the case will be
submitted later.
Garden City voted the bonds to help
the Garden City & Northern railway IN
the sum of $4,000, but the state audi
tor refused to register them. Mr. Ma
ton claims that the bonds were voted
to be used to buy the right of way
for the road and that the right of way
was given to the road by persons Nv
ing along the line. so that there is now
no need of these bonds. The road
claims the bonds as bonus as per
contract and the Garden City authori-
ties are anxious to live up to their
Contract with the road. The road has
been built to Garden City as agreed
before the bonds were to be issued.
Mr.. Nation stated today that before
he left his Office he was going to have
introduced in the next legislature an
amendment to the bond registry law as
follows. That hereafter when munich
pality issues bonds for any improve
rnent or project, that the state audltor
be required to register them a1ter they
had been passed upon and received the

The Next Attraction at the Grand The

One OF the really big scenic attrac-
tlO1s to be seen at the Grand Opera
House is THE Heart of Alaska -
which opens On Sunday matinee.
March 18th. There are four COM
plete acts, each one showing a mas
slVe setting taken from actual photos
secured by Mr.. Carey, the author,
| while On a hunting trip in Alaska. The
first act shows a beautiful setting in
dense pine forest during Indian
summer; through a clever piece of
stage craft. one can actually smell the
odor OF the pine trees and brush. The
second act is an exact reproduction
of a general store and trading post
at the town of Forty Mile. The third
act is an interior of trappers hut.
This act is said to be the most de-
tailed ever placed upon a stage. It
is this act that one, il not the most
effective snow storm scene ever wit
messed is seen. The doors fly to and
fro. the windows rattle, in fact, the
entire effect gives one an excellent
idea of blizzard in Alaska. at 60 de-
grees below zero. The play itself
tells a vivil and interesting story of
what the people had to contend with
during the mad rush for gold to the
klondyke during the year 1898 Ali
the characters are such that really
exist. so human and true tC nature
are they, that together with the re-
markable atmosphere placed in the
play, the auditor can really feel fer
two hours and a half that he is in
