has been deemed advisable TO consider

HIGH SCHOOL SITE.

Taxpayers OF Iron River should not
forget to attend the mass meeting at
the high school assembly hall. next
Tuesday evening at 8 O'Clock. Iron
River needs a new high school build
lDg as the present building is already
crowded. and the meeting on Tuesday
evening is for the purpose of getting
an expression from the people. Our
school taxes are large and are climbing
higher at rapid rate and the people
should therefore be conferred with
occasionally. 10 is a surprising fact
tYt not only the board of education
lso the township board and the
yMSge council tail to have the pro-
ceedings of their meetings published
SO that the people may have an oppor-
tunity of knowing what their servants
are doing from month to month. The
people are entitled to this information
and probably would get 1t If IL were
possible TO have il done in Oshkosh.
Notwithstanding this dereliction in

would suggest that taxpayers rsmem-

SECURES
PILGRIMS PROGRESS

BY special arrangement with the
Heilig Theatre of Portland. the Chau-
tauqua Association has secured the
wonderful Pilgrims Progress motion
pictures for two nights at Heilbronner
hall, Monday and Tuesday nights, 0e-
tober 20 and 2l. An attraction of this
caliber is rarely seen in place the size
of Hood River, and it has taken con-
siderable pressure to have these pic
lures stop over here, enroute to the
east. This attraction has played only
in the first class houses in the country
and has never been seen on any of the
moving picture circuits. Ii had rec
ord of 81 performances at the Heilig
Theatre last May and one Sunday night
performance at the First Presbyterian
church in Portland.
These pictures have been "a sensation
wherever shown and should prove OF
decided interest here, especially to
those who are familiar with the story.
The distinguished interpreter of mod
ern and classic drama, Charlotte Cur.
tiss, will deliver the graphic lecture
that is an important feature of the Pil'
grims Progress pictures.
