Columbia,

Henry Miller probably has never given
to the American stage a more beautiful
conception than the romantic comedy in
four acts. 'Heartsease." which will be
revived at the Columbia Theater tomor-
row night by the Columbia Players. Ed
ward H Robins will appear in the Miller
role Of Eric Temple, the young composer
and lover. while Frances Nelson has
originally played by Mrs. Thorndyke
Boucicault Other characters will be as
sumed by Godfrey Matthews. Willard
Robertson. John M Kline, Stanley James,
Arthur Richie John Ellis, Carrie
Thatcher. Marie Drofnah and Laura Oak
man
The scenes Of 'Heartsease" are laid in
London, a hundred years ago, with all the
picturesqueness of costume incident to
that period. The third act particularly
is one OF moving power, with it's strong
est scenes backed by the incidental mu-
sic of w. w. Furst. and singing from
the opera house stage.
Temple, as the story discloses, Is parted
from the woman he loves, the Hon. Miss
Neville, by the Vaccinations Of the girl s
stepmother, Lady Neville. and Sir Geof-
frey Pomfret, who aspires to her hand.
Subsequently Temple. sorely Ill. wanders
into Covent Garden during he perform
ance Of an opera The music he hears is
is the work of Sir Geoffrey. For a time
he Is dumfounded He Is positive the
score is his own, which was stolen from
him some time before. The proof is
finally forthcoming. and the curtain falls
on a stirring picture, in which the thief,
Sir Geoffrey, Is unmasked. and Eric and
Miss Neville are reunited.

A young man, Anton Ahlstrand,

there are 2, 400 miles of road in the
Louis county and they have been
maintained for five years a rea-
Sonable expenditure for mainte-
nance would be $2,4O0,O00 and the
annual cost for maintenance
would be $4,000.
"You are met here tonight to

the roads which are already in ex-
istcnce. These county commits

their disposal for next year the
immense sum of 100000. AS
there are 2,400 mile Of road in the

A. P. Silliman Expresses Himself
Forcibly and Sensibly at the
Meeting of the County
Club.

At the meeting Of the st. Louis
County Club at the Commercial
Club rooms, Duluth, on Thursday
evening last a. p. Silliman, of
Hibbing, in brief address in
reference to the November grand
jury report, expressed his views
Of the county road building prob

lars at the present time for the
construction Of needed highways
throughout the farming districts :
1.-The purpose Of this meeting is
to discuss and follow up the re-
port of the grand jury under date
of November. 1911. In this re-
port you will notice it is stated
that the immense sum Of $2,OOO,-
600 was spent on county and town
roads within the past ten years.
Two million dollars is an immense
sum. 1t is more than most men
have anything to do with in life
time, and, standing alone by it.

public works, that there be mag

amount. Let us look and see
what has been done with this So,
OOO, 900, expended on county roads
and town roads during the past
ten years. If you will turn to'the
back of the folder, inclosing road
map of st. Louis county, you will
see that there has been 2400 miles
Of road built in this county up to
the present time, and while it is
not just exactly right, it is still
true that most Of this 24O0 miles
Of road has been built during the
past ten years, or in other words
that these roads have been built
for about $S5O.00 per mile. Now
to build mile of road in st. Louis
county which is as good as the
average town or country road for
$4,000 per mile is doing excellent
work. AS | stated in the begin
