Representing Enterprise school
patrons, C. s. Crawford has written
to Attorney General John Dawson
asking permission to bring man
damus proceeds in the name of the
state against the school board OF
Enterprise to compel the issuance Of
$4,000 in bonds voted at a recent
election. Mr.. Dawson Is asked to
allow the suit to be brought because
Of his position as the states attor-
ney. In this way the Enterprise peo-
pie believe that they can obtain a
court judgment upon the questioned
legality of the election, at which cleo
tion officials gave out sample bal
lots to be marked and cast in the
election. Sample ballots, which are
colored, and the regular ballots,
which are white, both we're cast IN
the election. The school board has
its doubts as to whether after is
suing bonds on the strength of the
election, it would not be declared
Illegal The suit in this connection
would be only friendly one and
would result in some decision on
this interesting point. No answer has
yet been received from Mr.. Dawson.
Mr.. Crawford says that when a
similar question came up in Kansas
some years ago, the court decided
that the election was valid. How
ever, in this particular election, only |
sample ballots were used, no regd-
lar ballots being given out. The
courts decision said that IL the
proper ballots with their distinguish
ing mark had been used also, then
the use Of the sample ballots would
have invalidated the election.
The mandamus writ ordering the
school board of Enterprise either TO
issue $4,000 bonds recently voted
for a new high school building or
to show cause Before January why
they had not done 50. was received
this morning from Judge R. L.
King Of the district court and filed
here. The return Of the school
board Is expected soon. This Is the
sample ballot puzzle.

AFTER HARD FIGHT MAN FAILS
TO END HIS LIFE

Allison, la, March 12.-Herman
Walter, farmer, attempted to- COM
NIT suicide last night by beating
himself over the head with a quart
bottle of whisky. The bottle broke
and the alcohol became ignited from
a heating stove, setting fire to the
clothing of his wife and child
Ignoring the screams of his family,
Walter went to the barn, fastened one
end of a rope around a beam, tied the
other around his neck and jumped.
The rope came united and Walter
suffered slight scalp wounds by fall
ing to the floor
In the meantime Mrs. Walter put
out the fire. Walter was arrested and
will be given an insanity hearing.

MERELY COMMENT

f1uence of great store"
Field has done a lot of educating.
The street cars have been educated
to run past the Field store.
The city council has been educated
to give, tunnels under streets and
space under sidewalks to Fields.
City officials have been educated
to give Fields all the ground under
Holden Court and all the air space

Fields has educated thousands of
women to work for So a week and
thousands of men to work for $40

Henry SiegeI, merchant prince, had
to sneak out of private entrance of
the federal building in New York.
A mob of angry creditors-poor

and is out on bail.
But Henry was a great merchant

Two Johnsons followed him, Jack

detective told thrilling tale of being

weighed over two hundred pounds

tale in which artillery and chairs and

''He got in the closet with gun

H. B. WARNER IS NEW
 TO P|cTUREPLAY FIELD

II. E. Warner. the distinguished American star. has joined the gallery of Famous Players in motion pie lures, and is presented in the noted drama of capital and labor The Lost Paradise by Lugwig Fulds ana IL C. DeMille, produced by the Famous Payers Film Co. The five part production of this celebrated play is mounted with faithfulness of detail and realism of scenic and dramatic effects which make it thrilling in its intensity and power At inc same time there is d pretty appealing love story which relieves the gruesome horror of the frightfulN vivid portrayal of the depths of pov- erty and the stress of life under which the lowlier laboring classes exist
 The Lost Paradise" is a tremend- ous arraignment of the power and tyranny of wealth, and also illus trates the oppressive force with which the capitalists gain their vic tories and advantages over the hum ble and enslaved workers. There is q softening element however, in the denouement of the story, through which happiness is partly restorer to the loyal and noble superintendent. admirably pportrayed by H. B. War her, and the woman who suffered and sorrowcd by his side
 It will be produced at the Arizona Theatre tonight.

No matter what else can be- said
In regard to the new stepless cars now
In operation on Broadway, they are
certainly boon To the small boy who
depends on riding free. says the New

The advent of the pay-as- you-enter
car and tho success OF the idea OF
placing a tin guard over the rear
bumper. thus frustrating the efforts
OF those bent on obtaining free rides
by sitting on the bumper, haveg done
much to obviate ali chances OF riding
on surface cars without paying the
necessary nickel Tho small boy. as
usual. suffered most from those inven-
tons.
II goes without saying that 1t was
not an Intentional act on the part OF
the company providing means for the
small boy To ride free

corner where he notices some one
else waiting. When that person
crowds into the car the boy follows.

The effect OF ventilation on the

NEW POWER PLANT

Rumors of all sorts are circplat-
ing about town in regard to the put.
ting in of a large power plant on the
Salmon river In the vicinity of Sal
mon. Although the plans seem not
completed, yet il Is known that sur
yeys are being made OF the several
power sites and the titles to the
same are being Investigated. 1t Is
also reported that contracts have
been signed up for large amount of
power.
Ii is said that the mines of the
Gilmore district would take a great
deal OF the power generated by this
plant, in fact, must have such power
before they can be worked success
fully and probably. 1t Is further
said that prospects are very good that
work on this proposed power plant
will begin at no far distant date, il
plans now being made can be carried
cut.
10 seems Ia be Oregone conclu-
sion that with the installation of
this power plant, that another
dredge boat will be built on Geert-
son creek. This fact, with the pros.
poets Of bountiful harvest, make
the future prospects of this valley
look very bright.
