A PROTEST
AGAINST JONES SYSTEM

Between $50 and 200 citizens of
Orchard Heights and the district to
the east of Hillyard met last night
and registered a protest against
the shutting off of their water sup
ply by Arthur d. Jones and heartily
commended the action of the Spo-
kane city council in taking meas
ures for their relief.
There are 800 voters in the dis
trict east Of Hillyard formerly sup
piled by the Arthur d. Jones water
system, and nearly as many water
consumers as there are voters. The
sense of the meeting was that the
Arthur ID. Jones system be cast in
to the scrap heap and that the peo-
pie of orchard Heights, plated and
sold by Jones, cooperate with the
citizens of Cannondale in getting
water from the city of Spokane.
A committee was appointed to
look after the employment of legal
counsel to protect the interests of
he people in that section of the city
and fight the Jones outfit to the
last ditch. The right of Jones to
lay claim to the service connections
will be fought in court if asserted,

the meeting and j. w. Bowen sec

eyes, and your fet will take care of

That's the startling statement
with which William Rock, senior
partner in the dancing duo of Rock
and Maude Fulton, headlihers at the
Orpheum this week, prefaced talk
on terpsichory as he stood in the
wings Of the vaudeville house last
night. He admitted that a legless
person might have some difficulty
in making a hit as a dancer, but he
still insisted that legs weren't es-
sentials and proceeded to prove it.

creators of characters in dance and
before we came to this circuit l
acted many of the characters in the

II 1t doesn't come natural, l don't
use it. Nevertheless. cannot take
dancing seriously. love acting and
the creation of characters, and my
dances and Miss Fulton's are all
portrayals of characters. We never
use song or a dance without the
concOmitaut characters.
Here's another point that want
to make, too. Every dancer must be
a musician. l have known great
singers who could hardly stay on a
tune, but never dancers. A dancer
must live and appear and move in
rhythm always and all the time. His
every movement must go dunn.

| Just then the headliners were
called and Maude Fulton and Rock
went on the stage, while the inter
viewing man secured a coign of
vantage where he could see the
theories interpreted which had just
been expounded to him. Rock used
to play with Eddie Foy in "The
Orchid" One of the best of the half
dozen interpretations given by Rock
last night was from this play. and

as acting than dancing pure and

his end.

TOMORROW.

A musical comedy which rushes

"a Stubborn Cinderella" is the

to represent Orchard Heights con-
sisted of Mr.. Summers, F. c. Will
Jams, G.. i. Doak, J. w. Bowen and
John Pfeffer. There was no de-
sentiment shown against the city of
Hillyard for cutting off Jones. 1t
was realized that Hillyard had en-
countered the same treatment and
had finally to get rid of Jones.

THE FIGHT IN THE NINTH


announced definitely, decided to be-
come candidate from the Ninth
Iowa district. 1t is good news, for
Web Byers is by reason of his talent.
sincerely, political faith and above
all by character the kind of man the
state of Iowa needs and desires in
congress.
Byers is progressive. He is more
than that type of the highest citi
not politician but statesman He
has never stood for Byers above tue
issues he considers important to the
general welfare. He is honest to the
core; clean inside and ouL; a good
lawyer; nobody's henchlnan; with a
passion for fairness believing in the
equality of all men unde. the law
and in the supremacy of law over all
men; mentally and morally strong;
in the prime of his intei.ectuaf, phys
ical and moral vigor; fearless; faith
full, man who MAJ be depended up
on and who has always been depend
ed upon; without stain and above
suspicion of ever his worst enemies.
Not a newspaper OF politician in
Iowa will deny say of this. Ii is a
combination that Iowa needs in con-
gress.
Howard Webster Byers is distinc-
lively American His biography reads
like those of the typical American
who makes good and grows into
prominence. He is the son of a
Hancock county pioneer who came
TO Iowa in 1873 from Wisconsin
when the present attorney general
was 19 and when Hancock county
land was worth SIS instead of $10O
an acre. Byers was a farm laborer
a hired man up to his goth year.
Then he began teaching school and
followed that occupation five years.
He "clerk in a store" between his
25th and 30th year, studied law and
was admitted to the bar when he was
30. He was elected a member of
the Twenty-Fifth General Assembly;
reelected and made speaker of the
house and was again reelected to
the legislature. He was leader in
the progressive fight which reversed
the administration of state affairs
and brought about the reforms for
which Iowa had waited since Lar
abee. In 1906 he was elected
attorney general, reelected in 1908
and has given Iowa an administra-
tion of that Office which can not be
questioned or condemned. He has
been attorney general and the office
has meant something over Iowa.
Byer's candidacy in the Ninth is a
protest against Cannonism and the
interests which are Cannonism
There is, suspicion much justified
by his own words and acts that the
present incumbent in the Ninth be-
longs less to the people than to the
ooterie.- ie.-Marshalltown Republican.

CLUB BANQUET
Thursday Club Ladies Entertain
Their Husbands And Some Friends
On Their Sixteenth Anniversary

The beautiful home of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. M. Dimick was the scene of
a lively gathering last Thursday
evening, the occasion being the
Sixteenth Anniversary of the Birth
of the Thursday Club. AS this is
the Annual and Only event at which
the husbands are paid much atten-
tion to, the supper was, of course,
the principal feature of the even
ing; and with Mrs. Lissa Gault and
Mrs. Ellowene Delahoyde at the
helm, it could be nothing but
bowling success. The Editor, be-
cause of a streak of bad luck aud a
little business mismanagement, lost
out, hence, is doing his share of the
bowling.
A happy and appropriate little
event of the evening was an adapta-
ton of "Has any old Fellow Got
Mixed with the Boys?" given by
Mrs. Laura Delahoyde just as the
guests were being seated at the ta-
bles. Mrs. Delahoyde has been in
the East for the better part of a
year, therefore her presence at the
Banquet came in the form of an es-
pecial aud unexpected Treat.
After spending two hours at the
table, the gentlemen were conduct
ed to the Upper Regions where they
enjoyed a Smoker as Last Course.
At about ten O'Clock the tables were
cleared for Progressive High Five
which, being artistically arranged
and managed by Nesdames Shrau-
ger and Milliman proved pleasant
and popular torn of Entertainment.
Finch was provided for those who
did not wish to play ca-ds.
The crowd was entertained dur
ing the evening by vocal and in
strumental music furnished by
Carrie Gault and Ellowene Dimick.
| After three or four hours spent in
amusement and visiting, the guests
| wended their way toward their re-
spective homes, each feeling it
privilege to have been there and
all voting it a most enjoyable even
ing. The next meeting of the Club
will be at the home of Mrs. Wilson.
