The native Hawaiian lie a musician.
This goes without question. Never

years the Royal Hawaiian Band has

popular Theme In Dixie PLAY.

Fires of Rebellion" at the Dixie,
has the time-honored and still popular
theme of the prodigal daughter. The
story has few points Of originality but
is developed along the familiar lines
that are intended to produce the maxi.
mum Of heartthrobs. In the beginning
more or less emphasis is put on the
the conditions under which factory
girls are working in small mill town
and the play shows symptoms Of be-
coming drama Of labor versus capt.
tai, but 1t soon drops this thread and
develops into the usual romance OF
the poor working girl who seeks her
fortune in the great city. The pho.
Biography and direction are excellent
on the whole, although the sub.titles
leave much to be desired.
The plot follows the adventures OF a
poor but hitherto honest factory girl
who tires of her life Of drudgery and
her well-meaning but humble lover and
starts out to seek her fortune in the
city. She falls into the clutches Of an
artist, but her lover from the country
bursts into the studio. rescues his
sweetheart and carries her back home
az his bride.

band of sheep belonging to Scott
Brundage. There were 1900 in the
band and of a very fine quality, how
ever it would not have been neces-

they were owned by Mr.. Brundage,
for that is the only kind he keeps.
Mr.. Brundage did not dispose OF
his pack outfit and other equipment

DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL NOTES
Excessive Pruning.

Reports reach us that severe prun-
ing is now being done in order TO
overcome the exuberant woody
growth of last season.
Some winter pruning is necessary
and desirable yet it is quite easy
to overdo it and invite much woody
growth and Watersprouts. Summer
pruning should be more extenslvs ly
practiced 1t requires very little
more time tho it does require much
more nerve and courage to shorten
apple-bearing branches. ''FrLne in
winter for wood-in summer for
fruit." This is an old saying yet is
applicable these modern days. Do
your thinning of branches now, as
usual but plan to do much of your
next June and July if you
would secure a maximum of fruit
and a minimum of wood.

WIFE RETURN

A. C. Douglass and wife return
ed from their eastern trip last Sat,
urday. While gone they visited In
Iowa, Wisconsin and other eastern
points. Mr.. Douglass said they had
a very pleasant trip and encounter
ed very little bad weather. It was
some colder than here but very
little snow. He says everyone and
especially the farmers, are making
plenty of money; the banks never
had as large deposits as at the
present time. He brought back with
him a sample of apples that were
shipped to Iowa from the eastern
growers and thought to be very
fair by the people there. But these
specimens would be put to shame
il placed by the culls of the Payette
apples. Mr.. Douglass said they were
selling at So per barrel.

TWO BIG REAL ESTATE DEALS

Two real estate deals were clos
the fore part of this week, one be
| ing that of the three lots belonging
to Mrs. Hattie Harding, situattd on
the corner of eighth street and sec
ond avenue north, just across the
street from the Moss Mercantile Co.
Mrs. Balm was the purchaser. We
believe it is Mrs. Bain's intention
to erect fine modern Garage in the
near future on the lots purchased by
her, which will certainly be great
prises of the city.
The other was a sale made by l..
e. Peterson of his fine 20-acre tract
just east of the city, on the Pay
cite Heights, to ]. F. Orr, manager
of the Idaho Power Company. We
understand Mr.. Orr has made ar
fine tract for him, and it will be
the means of keeping him out of
mischief as he can now spend his
spare time running out to sle what
is going on, This is a very fine piece
Of land and we are confident Mr..
Orr has made no mistake in his
purchase.
We are pleased to announce these
improvements for it is in
