NO IDEALS SHATTERED WHEN
MISS ELLINGTON GAME BACK

When Margaret Ellington returned
to the stage. she assured the world
that she was not tired OF her husband
nor bored with domestic routine In
any sense. She Is not answering the
call OF the artistic temperament. OF
ularity Interpreted, and has suffered
no shatterings OF illusions regarding
the deep value OF home or the pleas
ure of congenial companionship. She
will be seen In the Garrick the first
half OF next week in "The Encounter"
by the author OF "Zaza."
Miss Ellington Is authority for the
statement that IL she were compelled
to choose between home and the
stage that she would unhesitatingly
select the home, but with her wealthy
and devoted husband as manager and
the complete return of her former
health and vitality. she feels she may
retain her home and still find on the
stage, as nowhere else, the sphere
of usefulness which her renewed ener-
gies demand.
Miss Ellington was born In Bloom
ington. Ill. few months more than
% years ago. She studied for the
stage In Chicago dramatic school or
acting and went to New York, where
she sought and readily found an en-
gagement. Her first part was a small
one In "The Pride OF Jerico" Her
salary was as small as the part, only
$40 a week, and her part consisted
OF two lines. In a week she climbed
over her associates and landed In the
second role of the play. On occasions
when Bertha Galland, who was the
leading lady OF the company, was Ill ;
Miss Ellington played her role.
Soon afterwards, Miss Ellington was
engaged by E. III. Sothern for one OF
the leading parts In IF l Were King,
and to understudy Cecilia Lotus, his
leading lady. After a successful ap
pearance In MRS. Leffingwell's Boots,
one OF the Augustus Thomas com
edies, she played the leading role In
the oriental production of "The Lion
and the Mouse" Miss Ellington also
played the Klein drama I'm London,
In the Duke OF York's theater. Sir
Arthur Pinero, the celebrated English
playwright. saw her at that time and
rehearsed her in his play. His House
In Order" II was in this play that
she appeared later, dividing honors
with, John Drew. Then came THE
Thief" followed by her abandonment
of the stage and her return, which
brings her career up to the present
time.

ing Curbs on Mill.

Main street is being plowed up
preparatory to putting on the crush
ed rock as foundation for the new
paving Work at the plant has been
delayed for few days on account of
the non-arrival of the engine to fur
nish power for the crusher. The en-
CINE has now arrived and the crush
er will be in operation by Monday
and rock will be hauled to the street
at once. Drilling and blasting at the
rock quarry is going on so that a
large amount of stone will be ready
for the crusher About two weeks
will be required to set up the hot
stuff plant and it will be three
weeks before any finished surface
is laid. The mixture is put on the

State Road Causes Trouble.

A claim for $5,175 damages for
the alleged careless manner in which
the rock cuts were made on the state
road in Klickitat county near Lyle
has been filed against the state by
the North Bank Railroad company.
This road which is known as the Sam
Hill road, being built near Mary Hill,
a town owned by Sam Hill, has caus-
ed the state more trouble than any
other road built by the state. 1t was
claimed Mr.. Hill wanted it for his
especial benefit and Mr.. Bowlby
pointed it out with particular pride,
but it cost him much trouble during
the legislative session, and now the
state has a law suit TO face on ac-
count of this road. The company
claims that they have expended the
amount of the damages asked for in
replacing broken rails, in renting
equipment to carry away the debris
and in employing crews to watch the
track. The state has taken no ac-
tion in the matter as yet but have
referred it to the attorney general
for an opinion. Notice has been re-
ceived by Governor Hay that the
road built in King county between
Kirkland and Lyle at a cost of $50,-
5S8, is in a very bad condition and is
going to pieces. This road was
built in November and December,
1910, and was accepted by Mr.. Bowl
by. The highway board is consider
ably worried over the matter as this
is the second complaint received
against work done under H. L. Bowl
by, the deposed highway commits
sioner, and a trip to King county to
inspect the road will be made by
Governor Hay and ]. c. Lawrence of
the public service commission, he be-
ing also a member of the state high
way board.

WHITMAN GETS
HEARING ON TAXES
ASSESSOR WILL APPEAR BEFORE
STATE EQUALIZATION BOARD
EARLY NEXT MONTH.

Olympia, Aug. I6.-September S.
is the date set by the state tax COM
mission for the assessor of Whitman
county TO appear before the board OF
equalization TO present his figures to
the board, according to a formal let
ter received by Geo. w. Walter from
the tax commission. If Whitman
county has complaint to make con-
corning state taxes the board will
consider 1t at that time, as it will
take up all complaints from any
county and give them a fair hearing
and decide whether or not the coun-
ty is receiving unfair treatment in
regard to state taxes. If any coun-
ty thinks ii is paying more state
taxes than its just share the board
wishes to hear the complaint. To
the commissioners of Whitman coun-
ty the state tax commission has sent
notice warning them that the tax
ing board is liable to a fine of from
$4,000 to $4,000 if they do not
comply with the provisions of the
law which requires that an estimate
of all expenses for the ensuing year
be made before the fixing of the tax
levy, so that every person may know
exactly how much money is to be
spent and for what purpose it is
spent.

North Yakima, PrOsser. Kennewick
and crossing the river at Wallula

PalOuse country and their old home
at Garfield in Whitman county. On
their return they went through Che
ney, Reardan, Davenport, Wilbur,
Almira, COulee City, Waterville and
then to Mayfield. Mr.. Lawrence
said that he had not been in the Big
Bend country for Il years and the
changes that have taken place were
a great surprise to him, as the coun-
try was then a barren waste, but that
now it is well settled and he says
| that the farmers OF the Big Bend
country have done more than the
PalOuse farmers for they have put
up fine houses, spacious barns and
good Outbuildings. He says that the
trip was most enjoyable one and
that the roads are in good condition.

SATISFACTORY BOND SALE.
Low Interest Rate Saves School Dis
trict Much Money.

Bonds of $65,0OO for school dis
trict No. l were sold Monday after
noon by Treasurer Duncan to the
state at par, the bonds to bear 4 u
per cent interest. There were two
other bids. The Dexter Horton Ma
tional bank of Seattle offered to take
the bonds at per cent and would
give a premium of 1925. The Union
Trust and Savings bank of Spokane
offered premium of $507 for the
bonds at 5 per cent. Only three bids
were received and as the offer of the
state was the best it was accepted.
The sale of bonds will permit the
calling in of nearly $4,000 in war
rants which are bearing seven and
eight per cent interest. The bond
sale is considered very advantageous
as the interest rate is low and the
district has the privilege of taking
up the bonds at any time.
