CLUB NEWS

Last Wednesday was Historical
Day at the Sub Rosa Club, and the
program was in charge Of Mrs. Geor-
gia Swami, who gave a detailed his
tory of the club from its organiza'
ton In 1903 to the present time. The
music for the afternoon consisted OF
vocal solo by Mrs. Ora Cannon
and a piano solo by Lois Swami.
The program was followed by refresh
ments and a social hour.
By unanimous vote of the club,
a telegram was ordered sent to Re-
preventative Rosevear protesting
against House Bill No. IA, introduc-
ed by Ferguson OF Pocatello, and
urging him to vote against 1t.
The Progressive Club also sent a
telegram to Representative Rosevear,
in opposition to H. B. No. IA.
The club women are proud OF the
fact that they have a senator ana re-
preventative In the legislature who
realize that about one-half OF their
constituents are women, and that
they represent the interests Of these
women as we'll as the interests of the
men. They consider themselves es-
pecially fortunate when they see the
treatment that certain members from
other counties are giving their wo-
men constituents.

SIGN DIVISION BILL
Bill is Passed Which Divides Lincoln
County Into Three New

Governor Haines has reluctant
ly signed the bill which divides Lin

Lincoln County for a division, but
cautioned the lawmakers to be cir
cumspect in cutting up counties,
thereby adding the expenses and bur-
dens of the taxpayers, in the inter-

WATER WORTH
$4,000 PER FOOT
Engineer HIndleiter Explains the
Cost Of irrigation In County
Near Tucson, Arizona

Water in and around Tucson Is
worth $4,000 per second foot, ac-
cording to Engineer Hindleiter, who
had been making investigation of
drainage and irrigation possibilities.
The estimate by the engineer takes
into consideration the cost Of obtain
ing the water in first place, of dis
tributing it and of what 1t will pro-
duce when distributed upon the land
in this section.
He explains that second foot OF
water is a volume one foot deep and
a foot wide that passes given
point in one second. In twenty-four
hours this volume of water will COW
er two acres of ground one foot deep.
Water becomes queer quantity
when considered in its different as
pects,' said the engineer. "To the
famished man, lost in the heart of
the desert, it becomes worth all the
wealth in the world per drop. To
the rich man of the Bible one drop
of it was worth heaven itself. To
the shipwrecked sailor on raft, in
midocean, with water, water, water
everywhere, but not drop to drink,
half hemisphere of 1t alloyed with
salt is worth nothing. In the Ever
glades water is causing the ex-
penditure of millions in an effort to
get rid of it. Around Tucson it is
worth $4,000 a second foot to get
it.
Every time you take a bath you
are reveling in thousands of dollars
and in the cold gray dawn of the
morning after you consume, Midas
like golden stream of wealth. Elk.

"rHE LlrrLEsr REBEL

Mr.. Marshall Farnum will be pre-
scented in Edward Pcples latest play,
The LittleSt Rebel" at the GRAD,
Tuesday next, under the direction OF
A. II. Woods. The Llttlest Rebel" is
q stirring pathetic and numerous war
play, the action Of which takes pace
near Richmond to7arI $50 close OF
the Civil War. 1t is'not play cN,
plotting the love of the soldier o! the
north and the maid OF the south. The
.Ove.interest centcrs in the paternal
love OF two men one aCtuated natural
ly and the other by sympathy. There
is no accounting for sexes at all; the
author has shown that t. is not this
love that alone can inspire to deeds
OF hcroism and elasticity Of duty, but
that an equally if not stronger motive
exists when the choFd If human pa,
ternity is touched. The grim back
ground OF war might be stripped away,
and the story OF the little girl who
suffered with her father tn ough many
trying ordeais and finally saved his
life through her plea to one OF inc
greatest men in American history,
would hold it's human interest; but
all the clements of the MAY add to
its appeal and serves 10 please all
tastes from the romantic scientist to
the lover OF the thrilling and spec.
tacular. Mr.. Tnrnum has a play which
offers ample opportunity to display
his pleasing and interesting person,
atty and histrionic abilities.
The story is simple. It is about Z"
Southern scout who risked his life to
see his little hungry and motherIess
girl, and in doing so was captured by
Lieut.. Col. Morrison OF The Northern
army, and later. through the pleadinGs
OF his child is allowed to escape. only
TO be captured later during battle
while fighting for and saving the life
OF Col. Morrison. The two men are
brought to headquarters and taken be-
fore court-martial that sentences
them to death. one as spy and the
other as a traitor. They are saved
through the little girl who seeks Gen.
Giant and tells KIM the story. An ill.,
tercsting feature is Il realistic war
scene which requires 80 men. The
title role is played by little Viola
Savoy who is said to be one of the
pre:tiest and cleverest chtId-aetrcsses
O the American stage.
