II is a peculiar coincident that the
first novel that was written by r. p.
Roe should be the first one to be
dramatized, yet such is the case, for
."Harriers Burned Away" which blazed
the way to fame for this novelist, has
been made into a play by the drama
tist, George Middleton. The play is
said to be the best that Mr.. Middleton
has written, and will undoubtedly
bring him as much renown as the
novel did the author. At the Grand
next Tuesday.
The city council has been giving
some thought to a new city hall and
have gone 50 far as to consult c. w.

ever, he wanted a thousand dollars
for drawing plans and so far as he is
concerned the matter was dropped.
The council is Of the opinion that
about a twenty thousand dollar build
ing is necessary and it is likely that
the matter will be brought before the
voters at the spring election. There
