to enter this hospital and have the
doctor you prefer to treat you. l
confess that l have some feeling in
this matter and that our relations are
not personally pleasant; that could
hardly be otherwise because feelings
are shaped by the facts l have related.
However, l am for a hospital by the
county, not on personal grounds, but
because that l believe that hospital
to which all shall have admission on
equal terms is one of the needs of the
city. 1t is a strange commentary on
human nature that for so long a time
we have been handed a lemon and
have pretended that we liked it."
The contract between the county
and the W. G. Reed company was
signed this week, but no steps will be
taken for twenty days after the order
granting the contract was made, as an
appeal may be taken in that time. Ask
ed today if he had anything to say
about the appeal or the hospital situa-
ton, Attorney c. NJ. Booth replied that
lie had nothing to say.

that we would agree always to main

all patients and all physicians forever
without favor We directors, includ-
ing DR. Boyd, pledged him upon our
honor that we would After the work
had progressed until the walls were
partly up, money became scarce and
Il was evident that we would have
some difficulty in getting enough by
selling stock to the public, so DR.
Boyd proposed to buy a sufficiently
large block of stock himself to COM
plete the building AS the directors
wanted the hospital, we voted to let
him buy. This gave him the control
ling interest, whereupOn, at the next
election of the board he elected his
own board of directors, dropped the
former directors, ordered out other
physicians, including myself, and then
ordered assessments against the out
standing stock AS the small stock
holders had not gone into the concern
to make money, but only with the
idea of helping a charitable concern
along, they objected to being taxed to
death and decided their stock over to
DR. Boyd for whatever he cared to
pay. Personally got so cents on the

when the stock was about all turn

and the hospital became a private in

was no longer a general hospital. for
the public good, but a private con-
Germ for private greed, and this was
done, the first assessment being on
the valuation of $4,000, which has
been raised until it now stands at the
ridiculous sum of $1,000 or $4,000,
which is only a small fraction of the
100000 the owner asks for it. I wish
I could get my property assessed on
some such basis. Only one doctor be-

me-"
He suggested also the plan of the
settlers adjusting the matter out OF
court, but said that the state could
proceed through its own attorneys, di-
rectly to the state supreme court,
should it decide to act through the
courts, and that there would be no de-
lay and no lawyers fees.
Eyes, we went over the Salmon tract
and found conditions to be very I'M
satisfactory as far as crop prospects
were concerned" said Secretary of
State Barker on his return yesterday"
as there will be only two irrigations
and the farmers are getting the sec
ond one now We had a meeting at
Amsterdam that was attended by
about 60 people. They are not togeth-
er out there, and until they do get to-
gether it is hard for us to try to take
any steps. Some stood on the terms
of contract and insisted that the com
pany be compelled to furnish the
amount of water called for. Others
were willing to take two and a half
feet and pay $40 an acre in order to
buy out those that would have to be
dispossessed should the tract be cut
down. They want us to compel the
company to live up to the terms OF
the contract, but we cannot do that,
since we have no power to make them
do it. The bondholders have invested
their money and will not put up any
more unless they feel that it is neces-
sary to do so to protect their invest
ments. We could throw the thing into
a receivership, probably, in which
case the bondholders might buy it in
for the purpose of protecting their in
vestments. We told the settlers that
the best thing to do was to get togeth-
er, agree on a definite plan and pre-
sent it to US, and if feasible we would
act on it,"

The Theatres
PAULINE FREDERICK IN "THE
MOMENT BEFORE" AT IDAHO

Those who have seen Pauline Fred
erick in "Zaza," 1.-THE Spider" and
Audrey" and her numerous other
notable screen successes will welcome
her as Madge, a charming, alluring
gypsy girl, and the central character
of Israel Zangwill's remarkable dra-
ma, "The Moment Before" appearing
at the Idaho next Monday and Tues
day, which gives Miss Frederick the
opportunity of revealing another true
to-life character to the motion picture
public.
Following the story as it is unravel-
led in the absorbing scenes of the
photoplay, we find Madge married to a
brutal gypsy, whom she abhors with
all her heart. While hunting on the
private property of the Duke of NAL
don, Madge and her husband, John,
are confronted with arrest. Harold
the youngest son of the Duke, sees the
attractive maid in distress; hearing
the charge against them he pardons
the captured couple. Fascinated by
each other, Madge and Harold meet
several times and are finally caught
by John A fight is avoided by the
quick wit of the girl. After a quarrel
with her husband, in which he is stab
bed, Madge seeks the mansion of Har-
old, fearing the wrath of her victim.
Employment is given the refugee in
the Dukes household, much to the sor-
row of Lionel, Harold's older brother
and heir to the Maldon estates. The
angered John, in quest of his wife,
finds her in the clutches of Lionel,
who is striving to force the unwel-
come servant to leave. John, misun-
derstanding the actions of Lionel,
seizes the fire-tongs and strikes the
aspiring heir dead
From this dramatic point to the eli
max, which is overwhelming in its
dramatic strength, the story increases
in interest.

Can you picture Dorothy Gish in
cute Holland attire, big wooden shoes,
voluminous skirts, bodice and Quaint
Dutch cap? She appears in such raj
ment in the opening scenes of her new
Triangle drama, thelogue of which is
laid in Holland For these scenes a
special and typical village is being
erected at the Fine Arts studio in
Hollywood. This production will be
staged by co-producers c. NJ and S.
A. Franklin, who directed Dorothy in
"The Little Schoolma-am," a rural

aSINS OF MENv-A REVIEW.

"SINS OF MEN"-A REVIEW.
Writing in the Theatre magazine,
Oscar Cooper says Of Sins Of Men,"
to be- at the Isis theatre Friday and
Saturday of this week;
From the title, one might infer that
this picture was a sex drama, wholly,
done in the effective style characteris-
tic of the Fox forces, but still sex
drama. The sex element does, in
fact, figure largely, but the thing
which makes the picture an excellent
entertainment-one of the most en-
joyable we have seen recently-is
remarkably clever infusion of comedy
Of character, offset by splendid hui
man touches, and an entirely unex-
pected announcement
The cast, which is headed by Stu
art Holmes and Dorothy Bernard, is
superior throughout, and works clev-
erly in keeping withsth tone of the
production which is not permitted to
get Overserious for long
An old German philosopher writes
treatise on what he calls the new re-
Myself" the doctrine of
which is utter selfishness and the pur-
suit of pleasure. He shows the par
TALLY completed manuscript to a pub
Usher, who tells him that if he will
finish it his fortune will be made. The
philosopher, after a Christmas re-
union of his family, goes to bed, and
dreams of the moral ruin that would
be brought to the lives of his family
and others, from their reading of the
book. His daughter would sin with
the son-in-law of the publisher; he
would find his servant in the arms
Of his son; the father of the servant
girl would break in his house and kill,
out Of revenge for the betrayal of
his daughter, most of the members Of
the philosophers family.
Then the old man awakes, decides
to burn the manuscript, and every
thing ends happily There is no ira
gedy. 1t has all happened in his
dream, but the spectator is as surpris-
ed as the philosopher to find that
this is the case.
