title role, will give lovers Of an even
ing's pleasure at the theatre, a treat
out Of the ordinary when Frederic
Thompson's original "Polly of the

has ELECTED such unanimous approval
from all classes as this refreshingly
told story Of the romance of pretty
little circus rider and village clergy
man in the middle west, and the fact
that "Polly of the Circus" is to be
presented by the number one and only
one company on exactly the same
scale of lavish magnitude that made

ing with the same formalities that were
observed when he replaced Kalbfus on
the board last August.
The Commissioners were in a quandary
today as to whether or not they would be
able to pay Oyster a months back salary,
payment having been withheld since May
ID. following the ruling of the District
Court of Appeals to the effect that kalb-
fus has been illegally ousted from his
position.
The question will be put up to the
decision.
Legal proceedings will be instituted by
kalbfus to obtain salary alleged to be
due him for the period during which he
was restrained from holding office. The
amount is said to approximate $2.7J0.
=, Decision has been reached by the Com
.missioners not to honor his demand for
s:the payment but should the former as
sistant assessor obtain a judgment the
District heads will provide for its pay
.nent by including an item for the amount
in the District appropriation bill.
1t is pro61f,ie that Kalbfus will be q

Regulating Waterpower
Leases.

ThexGraham bill for the regulation of
water power leases on public lands was
reported to the House yesterday after

water power on public domain only
and does not interfere with the pending

power on the ordinary navigable streams
alone.
/. The purpose OF the Graham bill is to
allow proper use of water. power on
public lands without letting the property
get away from the federal governemnt.

cent Of the developed water power in
the public land states is owned by
twenty-eight private corporations and
their subsidiaries. and that six Of these
control together more than 81 per cent
of the developed power.
TN addition, these corporations own or
practically control sites from which large

evidence of its control of them. These
companies are all aggressively seeking to
control the best undeveloped power sites

The average expenditure a head a

able rise at 81, which j. = moderate

an extra expenditure of SA5,000,O0 a

the extra expenditure would be $780,
