this on the screen would not only be
a very effective advertisement for
the University of Montana, but a
source of great inspiration and pride

gaze upon it but it will be of great

IN THE MOVIES

HER FRIENDS COMPROMISED
WITH THE FILM MAKERS.

ing Student Body of University,
With University Buildings as
Background.

Since Jeanette Rankin's election
to congress, much has been writer
about her which existed only in the
Imagination of the writer. AS mat
ter of fact she has remained quietly
at home and has given interviews t.
practically no one. 1t is true she has
been besieged by movil g picture men
until it became a serious annoyance
to the family and this is the story OF
how she at last conse nted to be fea-
tured for the movies.
Perhaps Miss Rankin was not so
averse to being caught by the camera
but she felt that the manner of fea-
turing the film would rot add to the
dignity of her position and she stead
lily refused to pose for the movie
artist. AS the camera man had evil
IDENTIFY received orders to stick, the
affair resolved itself to a real siege,
and Miss Rankin was obliged to can
Gel all her social engagements be-
cause it was quite impossible for her
to leave her home.
Congressional Under Siege.
Not only that, but the students at
the university in Missoula felt as
though they were entitled to visit
from their distinguished townswo-
man and university graduate, and
they wished to receive her on the
university campus with all the pomp
and enthusiasm which college stu
dents the world over are wont to dis
play on even less important occa-
sions. 1t was great disappointment
to the students when they learned
that she would rot be able to appear
on account of the assidious atten-
lions of the camera man and one can
imagine that it was also disappoint-
ment to Miss Rankin for her devotion
to her alma mater is we'll known.
1t remained for Mrs. K. W. Jane
son, dean of women at the univer-
sity, to find a happy solution of the
whole difficulty. For Dean Jane
son argued that now Miss Rankin
belonged to the whole state, and
that if the moving picture man was
so anxious to feature the new con-
gresswoman, he should be allowed
to do so, but with a stage setting
which was worthy of the occasion
and which would bring real prestige
to the university.
Compromised With Camera Man.
So she proposed that Miss Rankin
be allowed to come to the campus un
molested and the camera man
should contract to take 100 feet of
film showing the university build
ings, the splendid campus, the big

the snow-capped mountains in the
distance. Perhaps no other univer-

of the fact that large number of
the criminal offenses committed In
this district have been committed
when the offender was under the in
fluence of Intoxicating liquors, and
that in many cases the intoxicants
were sold by persons who had no
license to do so, we earnestly recon-
mend that the proper steps be taken
to enforce the law relating to licenses
for the selling of intoxicating liquors.

three-act comedy, will be presented

night, and the reserved seats are
practically all sold at this writing. 1t
seems certain that not one will re-
main unsold when the hour arrives
for the curtain to go up. The cast
was recently published in the News,
and these clever artists, with their
likewise clever and jealous director,
are sure to present the clever comedy
i'll a manner that professionals would
feel proud of. Past performances
is their best guarantee.
In the comedy to be presented
Obadiah Dawson. the uncle of Cap
tain Racket, is in love with a charm
ing girl. He sends his nephew, the
captain, to intercede for him. but the
gallant captain sees a chance for
himself and makes love on his own
hook. He wins out and the despond-
ent uncle goes to japan for couple
of years. Later he returns and ar

home. Then the music starts. The
captain resorts to lies of every ma

to convince his wife that his uncle Is

OBJECT TO SHIPPING
ELK INTO NEVADA

During the week our board of
county commissioners unanimously
voted to accept the offer made
through Secretary of State George
Brodigan to have shipped into White
Pine county car load of elk and
to pay the charges thereon amount
ing to about $4,000. with the un-
derstanding that the noble animals
would be properly cared for and pro-
tected upon their arrival here. This
condition was agreed to by the White
Pine Rod and Gun Club and a great
number OF public spirited citizens.
Chairman Weber Immediately wired
the secretary OF state, notifying him
of the action taken and requesting
that the animals be shipped at once.
In reply to Mr.. Weber's telegram Mr.
Brodigan writes, 1.-The proposition of
getting a number Of elk this year for
Nevada does not look as encouraging
just now as II did month or so ago" ;"
Mr.. Brodigan goes on TO explain tnat
he took the matter up with Senator
Fittman, who in turn submitted the
proposition to the federal authorities.
Copies OF Senator Pittman's reply
and the conditions laid down by the
Biological Survey OF the Department
of Agriculture are attached to Mr..
Rrodigan's letter to Mr.. Weber. The
rcd tape of the government covers
rlany pages which when boiled down

Report of Committee on Public
Morals.
To the Honorable Foreman and
Members of the Grand Jury of
White Pine County:
Gentlemen-We, your committee
on Public Morals, beg to report as
follows:
We visited the redlight district in
Ely and found that there were some
four dance halls running, each one
being frequented by a number of
women who danced with the patrons
OF these dance halls, and who, We
are informed. receive twenty-five
cents for each dance. AS investiga-
tion has shown to your honor
able body that no license has been
collected from the owners or ten
ants of these dance halls since 1913
and that rh, Interpretation OF the
statute covering the payment of such
licenses is open to question as to its
application to the con iuct u these
dance halls, we, your committee.
strongly recommend that suit be i'm
mediately brought by the proper au-
thorities In a court of competent jur-
isdfction to determine whether or not
the licenses provided in the statute
licensing dance halls can be collect
ed, and that II necessary the suit be
7 appealed to the supreme court oil
this state for final adjudication.
We found that this district was
enclosed on three sides with board
fence practically screening it from
observation from the outside.
We noticed in going through the
different saloons Of the district that
in practically all of them one or more
gambling games were in operation
one of which games is known as
"twenty-one" or blackjack. We
are informed by competent authority
that this particular game is prohib-
tied by law and we recommend that
this game and any other that Is un-
lawful shall be Immediately stopped
and that the laws regulating gamb-
ling be enforced.
1t has come to our attention that
there has been more or less selling
of intoxicating liquors without a IL
cense. especially in the district i'm

Very Satisfactory Allegations Uyound ecommen Inuhg Suit De-
Whether Not Dance Hall Be

Public roads and signs.
Public health.
In addition to the aforesaid attached
reports this jury, as whole, recon-
mends as follows:
(a) In the matter of dance hall
licenses we especially recommend
that the recommendation made in
the report of the committee OH pub
lie morals be acted upon without
further delay. Also that the same
recommendation apply to the matter
contained in the report of that COM
mitee as to certain gambling games.
(b) That concerning the various
complaints in connection with the
management of the county hospital
and the present matron in charge,
that said complaints were unjusti-
fed. That the present management
has been and is satisfactory and that
the recommendations contained In
the report of the committee assigned
TO investigate the county hospital be
followed.
From reliable persons we have
been informed that some forty-one
persons have been treated in this
state for rabies or hydrophobia and
that a great number of cattle and
sheep have died from the same cause
which disease. we understand Is
spread almost entirely by coyotes
and dogs. Also that a concerted
movement has been inaugurated by
the federal and state authorities for
the eradication OF coyotes or other
animals having the disease In the
state of Nevada. We recommend
that the proper authorities of White
Pine county cooperate to the extent
of their power with the other coun.
ties and federal authorities in this
state to eradicate this disease, and
that the county and. city autbori
ties take stringent measures to elm
mate the chance of the spread OF
the disease in this county.
We have investigated the alleged
taking of graft in the cases of Chris
Barkas and Tom Zissis,. arrested on
felony charges. and find that the said
charges of graft in both cases were
without foundation In fact.
We find upon investigation that
there has been more or less sale of
intoxicating liquors without license
in the district Immediately surround
ing Ely-especially at Ruth. We
recommend in the interest of law
and order that the same be stopped

Tax Rate
Is Reduced

After four days of the hardest
grinding, the county commissioners
on Wednesday completed the tax
budget and fixed the rate.
A substantial reduction has been
made and the general state and coun-
ty rate this year will be forty-eight
cents lower than that of last year.
This is accounted for by a reduction
of ten cents made by the state and
thirty-eight cents made by the coun-
ty. In the city of Ely, owing to the
fact that new school buildings will
have to be erected, 1t was found nee
essary to increase the rate for school
purposes ten cents, so that the ac-
tual reduction on property within
the city limits will be thirty-eight
cents on each one hundred dollars of
assessed valuation. In number
of the outlying school districts, upon
request the commissioners levied a
tax of twenty-five cents for school
purposes, which has not been done In
previous years. In these districts
therefore, the net reduction will be
twenty-three cents. In one or two
districts, for school purposes only,
increases were requested or found
necessary, but In no instance will the
additional school rate equal the sub
stantial cut made by the commission
ers in general.
The rate for state and county pur-
poses this year will be $1.563, as
against $2.043 for last year. In the
city of Ely the new rate win be
$3.513. as against the old rate of
$500. The budget is made up on
basis of $175,00O required for all
purposes. The assessment roll is esti-
mated at $1,000 900 on general
property and $4,000. 900 for net pro-
ceeds of mines. On these figures
$121,000 will be raised by direct
taxation; $4,000 will come from bull
lion tax, and $4,000 from other
sources, such as poll tax and the like,
making total of $175,000. The
bullion tax for the quarter ending
December 81, 1915, amounted to ap-
proximately $4,000. OF course 1t
does not seem possible that this can
continue for any great period.
Should the price of copper remain
where it is. however, and conditions
remain as they now are, it will be
readily seen that much greater sum
than that figured on will come from
bullion tax, in which event the Neva-
da Tax commission will doubtless
euthorize the commissioners to further
reduce their rate and the taxpayer
will be accordingly benefited.
