The program makes no mistake In
the complimentary adjectives used 70

appearance In the Temple theater.

fers to her as charming" win

err. She Is all that, and then some.
IL IL easy 10 believe that she Is the
pet OF the London music halls, as
the press agent further says. More
over, II is certain that she will soon
be able to lay claim TO a similar title
In American vaudeville. With the
big audience at her opening perform
ance here she was a general favor
lite. She sang, tripped and smiled ner
way into the hearts OF her hearers.
Her dainty gowns added much TO her
personal charm and beauty. and the
lightnipg-like changes of costume
were cause for wonderment.
Miss Heather Is petite and as pref
ty as the proverbial picture. a bru-
nette, with shapely head, crowned
with a luxuriant growth OF dark hair.
Her voice is sweet, but apparently
none too powerful. Her songs, how,
ever, lack nothing TO entertain.

work In the Temple.
Josie Heather, OF course, Is the
headliner. but there are other acts
most credltable. making mixed bill
OF rare excellence. The Four Fords,
billed as americas premier dancers"
give an exhibition CT unusual merit.
There are two girls, Mabel and Dora,
and two men, Max and Edwin
brothers and sisters. Beautiful scenic
effects, electrical and artistic, add to
the worth OF their work. The sis
tiers show particular grace and abil-
ity in a classic Grecian dance. based
on the adventures OF Ulysses.
In the musical line, the six Brown
brothers entertain delightfully."-. Their
work on the xylophone and saxa-
phone is especially pleasing and
creditable.

play both to the. best advantage. Her
turn Is bit OF contortion work,
which, In itself, Is nothing out of the
ordinary, but as a means OF display
ing her exquisite figure. II serves It's
purpose admirably.
Past masters OF tangle talk and
German slapstick comedy are Rice
and Cady, who have had many imita-
tors both In vaudeville and bur1esque.
They are billed as the headliners this
week and get away with good line

Adolph dialogues. with which The

week are striking. A team OF trick

Roads All Right.

Some weeks ago bills were sent to
the county commissioners by Road
Supervisor J. II. Lackey for work
done in the Judith Gap district dur
ing the past summer. Everybody
who did any work on the roads rem
dered bill for same which were q.
KID. by Mr.. kackey. A pusillani-
nous individual of this place, it is
reported, wrote to the commissioners
that the work for which the 1bills
were rendered had not been done,
and the commissioners held the same
up until the matter could be investi-
gated.
Robert Zehnther, chairman of the
board, decided to make an investiga-
tiOn, and was shown around We'd

The blowing ought to b;gin as soon

seldom that it is too wet for being
