LOVES Struggle
THROUGH THE Ages
Weaver Theatre Will Show
Intolerance, " Said to be
the Most Spectacular Film
and to have Cost. More
Money than any Other
Production.

In the large cities where D. w,
Griffith's intolerance" has played
engagements many months long it
is known that many persons have
seen this production two or three
times, and wonderment never ceas-
e3 at the magnifcence, the layishnees
and the beauty of this play with its
theme of loves struggle throughout
the ages.
Intolerance which viii appeay
at the Weaver theatre, next Tues
day, August q, may not be com
pared with any other production for
it surpasses anything ever attempted
or achieved, and therefore is absolute
ly unique The cast Of principals
includes the names of many Well
known stars, and thousands of men,
women and children and partici
pants in the action of the four para-
llel stories relating to intolerance
in four widely separated periods Of
the worlds history. It is pretty gen
orally known that the ancient cit
Of Babylon has been reproduced with
a realism that is astounding. Quite
as successful has been the reverential
treatment of the reproduction Of
scenes in the Holy Land, where
walked Christ among the people.
Then there is the massacre of ST..
Bartholomew with Mediaeval Paris
as the setting for many historic epi-
sodes However, there is quite as
much success in the presentation OF
a thrilling story Of to-day, with

SMOOT TELLS OF
BUMPER CROPS ON
KING. HILL TRACT

The King Hill irrigation project is
enjoying the best season 1t has eX-
perieneed in many years, says the
Capital News l. A. Smoot, state
land commissioner, who is in close
touch with the project and. the set
tiers, says that there has been less
trouble with the irrigation system
this year than ever before, there has
been ample water for irrigation pur-
poses and the settlers have enjoyed
good crops so far while the fall crops
soon to be harvested promise TO be
the very best.
Aside from few minor leaks in
the canal system this season water
has been delivered regularly and con-
tinuously, said Commissioner Smoot.
The leaks that did occur were OF
short duration and it was not neces-
sa1y to shut the water Off for any
length of time SO that it would be
injurious TO the crous,
The farmers have cut their sec
ond crop of alfalfa and are raising
good crops Of grain, potatoes and
other produce They will have the
most successful season in the history
OF the project There is nothing now
that can prevent them from harvest
ing the crops they now have in.
RaneheIs on the King Hill p oiect
have reason to feel the season has
been a good one,
A conference between representa-
tiyes of the national and state gov
ernments is to be held shortly on the
affairs OF the King Hill project. This
conference Will probably result in
the state relinquishing all OF its in
tarest in the project to the govern
ment. The reclamation service will
then take it over ana supervise its
operations. Engineers and surYo59 $
OF the land department have already
been over the project, have run their
lines and made their estimates. The
reclamation service set aside $4,000
for preliminary work this year and
placed its representative in charge.
1nc governor was stvep autncn 2
by the last legislature to transfer
the irrigation project to the govern
ment and this will be done later.

Gregory Tells New Ones

Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Gregory re-
turned Friday evening from trip
through Yellowstone National Park
bringing a couple Of good bear
stories with them. At Yellowstone
lake an enterprising traveller caught
about thirty pounds Of trout. Being
warned Of the fondne5s Of bears for
trout the traveller hung them by
string on a small limb that extended
out over his tent During the night
bear appeared on the scene and
could not resist venturing out on
the frail limb after them. The limb
of course broke, precipitating the
bear on the ridgepole Of the tent,
and bear tent and all came down
on the sleeping occupant. Another
camper. who had bacon for supper,
wiped some bacon grease he had got
ten on his hands on the tire Of his
auto. During the night a bear APP
peared and thinking he had found
new place for hiding bacon, bit into
the tire. The explosion which re-
suited when the inner tube was
pierced sent the bear on record
breaking run for the timber and
awakened everyone in camp. The
remarks made by the owner of the
tire we're somewhat fluent and force
full. Mr.. Gregory returned feeling
much better than when he left
