GRANT COUNTY AMONG
THE LOW ONES

The annual report Of the state
auditor, j. E. Handlin has been re-
Gently received. On the fourth
page of this report is given a
table showing the total county levy,
and also the consolidated county
and state levies of the several
counties of the state. The rate OF
levy in Grant county for county and
state purposes is 2.4O mills, and of
the 63 counties but five counties of
the state had as low or lower levy
than this. the other counties rang
ing in their levy from $50
up to IL mills the majority being
3 A, 5, and 6 mills.
If there has been graft, extrava-
gance and bad management in
county officers it must have all
occurred within the past year, as
the above record shows that the
affairs Of Grant county have been
managed with economy and good
Judgment.
That the commissioners are using
the same good judgment in the
responsibility that devolves upon
them in the building of the new
court house that they have hereto
fore shown in conducting all county
affairs, is to he expected.
They are proceeding with the
work under the theory that the
people Of Grant county want their
public buildings to be worthy Of the
county and while keeping out all
useless expense or extravaganza
they intend to make the building
substantial and thoroughly fitted
for the purpose for which it is
designated. The people of the
county will demand this. and as
the building is being made fire.
proof as far as possible and to
accommodate the needs of the
county for many years to come,
there will be no quibbling in re-
gard to any necessary expense for
this purpl Sc.

VILLA MSON'S SUBMARINE
Film REVEALS OLD
OCEANS SECRETS

There is something about the sea
which has always commanded the
interest of every generation. This
curiosity is aroused because of the
very limited knowledge humanity
has Of the inhabitants of the deep.
and the fruitless attempts of man
to penetrate the secrets which lie
buried down there where the sun
never shines. 1t has been so ever
since the world was first created:
man is ever trying to solve the my
stery of things which seem almost
unfathomable.
But the past year has proved
beyond all question that the world
has at last succumbed to the will Of
man and that the sea like every
thing else has given up secrets.
The announcement that man has
been able to explore the bottom of
the ocean differs greatly from the
discovery of the two poles.
But the achievement of Ernest
and George Williamson who spent
four weeks exploring the bed of
the ocean gives unlimited op-
portunities and marks an impor
tant value in our knowledge
Of the sea. The wonderful adven-
lures Of these brothers were photo
garphed in the clear waters Of the
Bahama Islands along the coast
where Columbus first set foot on
the new world. They were made
possible by the perfected William
son submarine steel tube down
which the photographer can descend
until he is from a hundred to two
hundred feet under water.
In a submerged Photographic
chamber at the bottom of this tube.
the camera man sits in comparative
position and turns the crank while
ocean scenes and all kinds of marine
life go slowly passed the camera
lens. Thus the sea has been con-
quered and robbed of many Of it's
secrets. The scenes include the
rich and varied life OF the ocean;
the fantastic formation Of coral;
wrecks Of sunken ships; divers seek
ing for buried treasures; battle
between sharks all corle to stir
ring climax in the fight between
Ernest Williamson and tn e
monster of the sea. This film to
shown at the Bentley Grand on Mon
day, Feb. 2S. Don't miss it.
