CHURCH PLAY
NEXT WEEK
"THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR" THE
PLAY-BEING REHEARSED
FINISHED PRODUCTION

The play "The House Next Door,"
to be given at the Gates Hall Friday
evening, April 25th, promises to be
finished production in every par
ticular. 1t is doubtful if any home
talent ever given in Williston has
ever received the care in preparation
that this production has. 1t was nee
essary to postpone the play week or
more, owing to illness among some
of the members of the caste, but the
additional time given in this postpone
ment has given more chance for fin
ished rehearsals. The play has been
under the efficient direction of Mrs.
Wickard, who has had much to do
with this class of entertainments in
the past.

BASEBALL SCORES

Most any afternoon shortly after
three o'clock if you happen around
the Williston Drug Company's store
or the Rather Drug Store you will see
number of business men dropping
in at intervals, take look at the
cross ruled sheets on the wall, and
then disappear. There's a reason.
The baseball season is on, and these
two stores have arranged to get the
scores of the big games by innings.
The service is proving very popular
with the baseball bugs.

THEY'RE HERE

The first straw hats OF the season
have made their appearance. Some Of
the more venturesome have dared to
sally forth with the straw lid. The
very first, at least as far as we have
been able to ascertain, was observed
Sunday. The perpetrator was Chas.
Mackenroth. He was perched behind
the wheel of his auto and went bob
bing up street like real streak of
summer The next observed was Prof.
Onstad who ventured forth Several
of these straw belfry covers have been
in evidence since. Predictions are for
backset to the old and reliable felt
hat, and some are gloomy enough to
say that we may even yet need the fur
variety

MAN KILLED
LAST FRIDAY
TRAIN NO. FOUR STRUCK THOS.
HENDERSON NEAR TODD
WALKING ON TRACKS

Thomas Henderson, fifty-nine years
old, was struck and instantly killed by
train number four just west of here
last Friday morning. The accident
happened at little bridge near Todd.
The victim Of the accident was hor-
ribly bruised and his head was almost
torn from his body.
1t appears that Henderson was on
his way from his home at Greenbush,
Mimi, to the home of son at Plenty
wood, Mont. He came as far as Will
liston on Thursday and on Friday
morning was at the station to con-
tinue the journey. He was said to
have been under the influence Of IL
quor and protested to the trainmen
that he had gone too far already when
they told him the local train going
west was the one for him to take.
He finally got aboard the local after
being persuaded that it was his train.
Number four was running very late
and was to pass the local west of here.
1t is supposed that when the local
pulled into the switch at Todd to let
No. 229 pass, Hendrickson got off
and started to walk back to Williston
carrying his grips, and the accident
resulted when four came along later.
A son came down from Plentywood
Sunday and took the remains to that
town, where the deceased has num-
ber of other relatives.

quent to that date:
"The rates for the next three years
need to be adjusted between various
classes IF customers on the basis,
chiefly, of the city's extra investment
in the distributing system for supply
ing residence lighting as compared
with commercial lighting. AS resi-
dence customers are more scattered
than commercial customers the IN
vestmenr in pole lines and transform
ers, as well as the line and transform
or losses, are greater for the former
than the latter class of customers.
Hence the residence rate is made
about 10 per cent greater than the
commercial rate.
New Rates: Trials Of the following
rates have been made with the prob
able consumption as estimated for the
next three years, and it is expected
these rates will afford the revenue re-
ouired % meet the estimated expense.

800.
Motor Rates: Single: Single-phase
motors over l H. P. rated capacity,
and three. phase motors not exceeding

in addition to monthly charge Of Soc
per rated H. P. for the first 5 H. P.

addition tc a monthly charge of SOC

and Csc for each rated H. P. in excess
of 10 H. P.
The monthly charge on motors shall
be 500 per month if the customer
provides the transformers.
Where two or more motors are sup
piled through one meter or one bank
of transformers, the rate for the
whole installation shall be that ap-
plying to the largest motor.
City Street Lights at &c per XVIII

Penalty or Discount: The above

but penalty may be imposed to in
sure prompt payments as has been
the practice heretofore. If, after
these rates have been in force year
or two, The receipts are greater than
needed to meet expenses, discount

ARGUMENTS Of
FOES OF TARIFF

In Saturdays issue was printed the
confidential circular of F. C. Lowry,
secretary and tfeasurer of the grocers'
committee fighting sugar protection.
As stated in the introduction there
was other campaign matter enclosed
with the circular to the trade.
Half Cent Maximum.
In the form of petition to the SEN
ate committeey the following state
ments and protest are made: "A rate
equivalent to 20 per cent ad valorem
C1.2G per pound on raw sugar of So
test should bs the maximum on this,
one of the principal articles of daily
food. We protest vigorously against
a higher rate. The United States is
singularly favored with natural and
abundant sources of supply, both of
cane and beet sugar, that can be pro-
duced at low cost In consequence,
consumers should receive refined SUI
gar cheaper than any nation in the
world; and would, if 1t were not for
the high tariff which enhances the
price" -. 49,. @..
In bulletin, one of the enclosures,
these assertions are made:
That if the tariff on sugar was re-
moved barrel of sugar, instead of
costing the merchant on the average
of about SIS, could be bought for
$11.90, or less ~. ~. r.. ~ T.. II.
THAT the purchasing power of a
dollar, on the average limited to Is
pounds under the present high rate,
would be extended to % pounds I'M
der free sugar" -. -: s:.>..:. . ..s
Says Farmer Does Not Benefit. H..
In the printed appeal to the trade,
Mr.. Lowry essays to prove to the
American sugar beet grower that the
tariff does not do him any good This
is what he says: ~ ..-.-
"a new development that has been
placed before our legislators is the
fact that in Germany, where the pro-
lection on raw sugar is Ate, hun
dred and on refined SIC, for the sea-
son of 1912 the farmer received an
average price according to the i'm
perial statistics of the German en-
pire) Of $6.07 per long ton for his
sugar beets, in contrast to the aver
age price of $3.50 per short ton in the
United States. In addition to the
price the German farmer received for
his sugar the factory allowed him his
beet seed free of charge where the
American farmer is required to pay
for it, and the German farmer has
returned to him 40 to so per cent OF
his beet pulp for feeding purposes,
where the factories of the United
States sell this by-product at a nice
profit. If further evidence were need
ed to show that the farmer in the
United States does not benefit from
the high tariff on sugar, we have it
here"

ONE PLANTATION
GOES OUT OF
BUSINESS
Puako in KohaIa, SIG Tons,
Merged in Kinds Stock
Ranch

Puako sugar plantation on Hawaii
has gone out o. the count in the main
industry of the territory. Its land is
now being planted to sorghum, for
fodder for Robert Kinds cattle ranch
As Puako's crop last year was only 519
tons, there is nothing particularly ser
ious in its discontinuanGe as sugar
plantation.
John G. Searle. who has managed
Puako plantation, has resigned and is
in town with Mrs. Searle and child.
They will leave in the. Sierra for a
trip abroad. b. 3. III
John Hind having sold his interest
in the little sugar plantation to his
brother, Robert, the latter has added
the land to his stock ranch. The mill
has been dismantled, parts of the SUI
gar-making machinery going to HaWi
mill but the engines being retained for.
the purposes of an irrigation plant for
the ranch. For seven years there has
been no rain to speak of on the ranch,
and, while the cattle thrive on the ac
customed brackish water available, the
ranch people have been getting dis

distance away for household purposes.
Hind brothers bought an algeroba
bean mill from C. w. Renear before
he sold his rights to q corporation, and
it paid for itself three times the first
year. 1t produced enough ground al
garoba beans to enable the plantation
to dispense with barley, for the stock
There is prolific growth of algaroba
trees in that part of Kohala. which, be-
sides furnishing raw material for the
lean mill, has made the honey bust
ness there flourishing.
An interesting fact ascertained by
experience on the ranch is that the
brackish water is just what suits
cattle fed on albaroba meal It con-
tains about the right quantity of salt
to make the needed laxative for the
animals, without which the feed would
be dangerous as constant regimen
