At the Plaza.

The Lass of the Lumberlands. which opens with the second chapter al the Plaza today and tomorrow. is one of the most thrilling serials that has ever been made. Tn the former serial in which Miss Holmes partici- pated. the understanding was that there would be one thrill to each installment or chapter but in this serial. two full chapters show many more thrills to the chapter than have ever been crowded into a picture before. The story deals with the fight of q young girl against the gigantic lumber trust and just as in "The Girl and the Game" the former serial. in which Miss Holmes appeared the daring and wit of the girl wins out over the organiza- ton of capital and greed. It will he remembered that the father of the heroine in the last chapter ran away and left her and her mother to take care of themselves. Several years have passed and the man, being of small conscience. has married again. His son by the second marriage is d young scamp, a rich mans son by all the odds. out on the parental yacht having Il great time. encounters a storm. the yacht is wrecked and the youth split into the water. He is immediately rescued by a girl who is riding along the cliff and sees the wreck. The girl is Helen, and if you don't believe it is some stunt to dive off that cliff into the icy briney, try it.

Davis, land yet he vetoed the Work
mems Compensation law" Mr..
Davis said it was the best bill the
Legislature passed, and the democratic
state platform on which Alexander
ran pledged the party for it. Nose
Alexander repudiated that pledge.
The speaker reviewed the Houston
loan and showed how Governor Alex
ander had put this deal thru; how he
had moved to make the loan after the
land board had passed resolution
that it would make no loans while the
ground was covered with snow. He
showed how Alexander had moved to
waive the fee, $50, for appraising
the Houston land, and otherwise neg
lected to protect the state. "When
the matter was exposed" said Mr..
Davis, Governor Alexander said the
state should not lose one cent, and if
the loan were not paid by the tenth of
July. 1916, he, the governor, would
take it up, with the interest. "That
loan has not been taken up and the
governor has not made good said
Mr.. Davis.
MIR. Alexander as governor has
been on the job in the state capital
only two days out of six," declared
Mr.. Davis. ''He has spent the time
campaigning. Then he told how
Governor Alexander had lambasted
Governor Haines for leaving his office
occasionally.
Mr.. Davis then launched into his
plan to make Idaho taxless state,
contending that it is wise to convert
our idle resources into money and loan
it to the state. He showed how idle
land, sold at, say $l2 an acre, and the
money loaned, is better proposition
than to hold the land and depend on
the increase of real estate values.
He showed how the state would get
interest, and also taxes, and how in
terest and taxes beat land increase.
Mr.. Davis said that it was not true
that Nose Alexander was the man who
put Idaho dry; that as mayor of Boise
Alexander showed no dry symptoms,
aud that Boise was wet and wide open
with vice and immortality. On the
other hand Mr.. Davis said he had
been dry from boy, and had taken a
stand in American Falls and cleaned
up the town when it was not popular
to fight the saloon.
Mr.. Davis made splendid impress
sion. His sincerity of purpose. his
good business training, his sound bus
mess propositions, his lack of that
grand landing that has made Alex
ander ridiculous, captured the people,
and left them sincerely anxious for
his election. Mr.. Davis will carry
Clearwater, Lewis, NezPerce and
Latah count es by 1000 majority over
Governor Alexander, and possibly
$500. He will be elected by 10000.
