Gods Country ane the Woman"

To large and appreciative audience the Lion last night presented the spe- cial feature, Gods Country and the Woman"
 Director Rollin & Sturgeon has pro- duced many superb photoplays of the great outdoors but it is doubtful if any of his earlier pictures have approached Gods Country and the Woman" in providing an ideal blending of dramatic story material. beautiful locations and impressive acting. The picture is ex- traordinarily fine in every element con tributing to a screen drama; it is bound to impress audiences of all classes and lovers of nature in the wild are likely to name it as the most satisfying of photoplay productions. To close fol- lowers of the screen, Gods Country and the Woman" carries an added in- terest in introducing Nell Shipman. writer Of many scenarios, as an actress in a leading role. Miss Shipman is as good an actress as she is d writer. which is saying much. Her beauty is of a rarely expressive type and her playing is marked by intelligence and sincerity.
 The story in Gods Country and the Woman" is effectively presented to awaken interest in the characters. to ildit4tdiH SuSpellSt ana to prepare TOT final reel of cumulative power, in which Josephine Adare (the woman) is kid naped and rescued after a spirited chase and d battle between the forces led by Weyman on the one hand and Lang on the other The character of Josephine. the angel of the settlement is finely drawn by Miss Shipman to leave no doubt about the moral stam- ina of a truly unselfish nature.
 Gods Country and the Woman" will be seen for the last time today, start ing at II q. m. Charlie Chaplin comes tomorrow.

PROTESTS RECORDED
 ON PAVING COSTS

After hearing the protests yester- day in the matter of the South Gen. tral paving, the city commission in special session stood by it's accept ance of the work. The protestants were represented by Alexander Baker and J. C. Phillips. Judge Sloan ap- peared for the city and the paving company.
 Objection was made to the char acter and to the assessments levied in the paving district, which is bounded by Seventh street and Eleventh avenue, ard by Yavapai and Harrison streets.
 Nothing will probably be done with reference to the character of the paving, but it is understood that the protestants will go into court to seek relief from the assessments as they have been levied

OFFICIALS HAVE 4
 BAD THIRTEENTH

trlday the thirteenth proved rather an unlucky date for a small coterie of democratic officials. True they start ed to run into the bad luck shortly after the hoodoo day had it's birth, but it was Friday, just the same.
 Thursday night, Governor Hunt. Secretary of State Sidney P. Osborn and several others, spoke at a politi- cal rally in Buckeye. The meeting did not break up until the evening was well worn, and the moon had become illusianized and gone to bed.
 A string of autos left Buckeye for Phoenix shortly after twelve o'clock It was Friday morning by the time they reached Agua Fria found it well up, and were forced to plunge boldly into it's. turbulent depths, all same as Caesar Wading the Rubicon. Not that there was any die to cast, but it was about the same thing. There was a question whether or not they would get across. There would have been no trouble if Governor Hunt had not insisted upon riding with Tax Com missioner Zander in his Yellow Peril" better described as a Ford of ancient vintage, nd painted a bright yellow. The governor is physically no light weight, and when the little car got in the middle of the stream, 1t gave a disguested cough and expired.
 Governor Hunt had waded one stream a few weeks before, and di not feel like tempting fate again. He steadfastly refused to leave the auto turned boat, and suggested with | bored look that if MT. Zander wanted his car to get home, he had better get out and seek aid. The worthy tax commissioner dispensed with his shoes. rolled up his trousers, and Waded to a machine a short ways ahead, hooked on a rope, waded back to his machine tied the other end of the rope, and gave the high ball to the auto ahead. After desperate tusging and pulling, the yellow kid' with its gubernatorial load, was pulled to dry land.
 The car following the governor and Iander. which carried Secretary of State Osborn, managed to get across, but had a hard time pulling through the hole made by Flanders car. Os- born was suffering from severe cold. obtained. he claims. by attending a republican rally. and did not feel like getting out and Wading in the icy water. When his car finally managed to get across, he contentedly rolled himself up in a blanket, took another shot of quinine and went to sleep

LEGITIMATE STOCK
 TO BE AT COLISEUM

An announcement which Will cause a stir in theatrical circles is that the Coliseum is about to desert muslcai comedy and will install an up-to-date legitimate stock company.
 Manager w. R. Payne of the Coliseum received word yesterday that the Lewis and LaVelle stock company, which re gently finished 25 weeks run in Fl Paso, would arrive tomorrow night ana would be ready to open Monday night with Under Southern Skies.

 The departure from musical stock at the Coliseum will come as a surprise to it's thousands of patrons, but if the brand of show is kept up to the class Of that in the past, there is no reason why the venture should not be a success.
 Among the plays which will be pro drced will be Polly of the Circus, Out of the Fold" "The Man of the Hour" Are You a Mason?" and "Cozy Corners"

In response to the cards he has mailed the taxpayers. County Treas urer George A. Macdonald has re ceived replies that vary from courteous notes to the indignant demand for d lower rate.

DRY STATES GIVE UNANIMOUS
VERDICT FOR PROHIBITION

The Los Angeles Morning Tribuns
and Evening Expresa have done the
cause or temperance in California a
great service by means of an ex-
hauative investigation into the effect
OF prohibition on business
These newspapers. taking the
ground that rs California was to vote
on the question of prohibition in
November. It's people were entitled to
all the facts as to results Of the dry
policy where in effect, they addressed
Thousands of inquiries to mon in all
walks OF life.
These replies are being published
now in installments under the head

Has Done In Other States"
Replies have been received from
both vets" and "drys'-wholesale
and retail merchants, real estate
dealers, bankers. public officials. men
who fought prohibition, and even
former sellers OF whiskey.
The feature OF the replies which the
Los Angeles editor thinks the most
remarkable is their unanimity. The
verdict is absolutely favorable to
prohibition.
Even former saloonkeepers, who
have turned their old stands into
lunch rooms and soft drink places,
are glad the saloons are gone They
are doing well in their new business
and can hold up their heads as they
walk the streets

clothing and the like bears the same

Savings are laid by for investment or
provision against sickness or Old age,
The earnings upon which the saloon
keeper formerly held an invtsioI
mortgage now maintain innumerable
families in comfort and happiness
without any increase whatever In
wages or salaries, tho purchasing
power Of the community as a whole
exhibits through the abolition of the
saloon an almost miraculous increase. -
Publ officials, especially of the
courts naturally speak of the changes
that have come under their observa-
ton, the decrease In crime and In
arrests for drunkenness. Macon, Ga,
has had but one murder In five months
since her citizens were stirred by the
nk-crazed murder Of q young wo-
man to better enforcement OF their
law. Before that there was an aver
age Of almost twenty a year In a city
OF so, 600 inhabitants. Little Rock re-
ports a decrease Of 80 per cent of
cases in its police courts. Boise City,
Idaho, gives the same figure, also
Seattle. The District Attorney of
Portland, Ore. answers with detailed
figures showing a elimination of over
so per cent in the police court cases,
80 per cent In the cases handled with
out being brought into court, 81 per
cent in the United States Marshal's
Office for the district of Oregon
The Judge of the Fourth Judicial
District Of Colorado, IN giving so per
cent as the rate Of decrease in his
territory, accompanied IT with a state
ment showing how the decrease in
crime reacts in favorable way upon
business
Crime has decreased to such an
extent" he says, that thousands Of
dollars formerly expended in court
costs in State cases are now being set
aside for building good roads and
