"THE BIRD OF PARADISE"
AT LAVERING SOON

The recent vogue of the rhythmic,
graceful Hawaiian dancing, which has
invaded the ball room partly displac-
ing the fox trot, the tango, the one
step and other dances in favor during
the last two years, is directly traceable
to the influence of Oliver MorOsco's
production Of Richard Walton Tully's
continuously successful play, The
Bird of Paradise" which comes to the
Lavering theatre, Friday. January IL.
1t was in this play that the more
graceful and reticent dances of the ma
tives of the mid-Pacific possession of
the United States were first made
known in this country. The rightful
name of the dance is the hula-hula.
but it is not to be cOnfounded with the
shameful dan du Ventre of Asia Minor
which was introduced into this cOun-
try during the Chicago worlds fair,
though that oriental dance often is
given the name of the Hawaiian
dance. In The Bird of Paradise" the
hula-hula dance is performed as a rite
as it is in the land of its origin. II
is a dreamy movement. strange in
step and posture, and it has an ire
sistible appeal One of its steps, a
swinging movement of the leg which
taps the llOOI Will the TOE, mas Deeu
embodied with variations in the Amer
lean version of the tango. The hula
hula dance is performed to native mu-
sic played upon the Hawaiian guitar
and ukulele The Kanaka musicians
are exceptionally proficient guitarists
and they obtain from the instrument
musical effects never achieved by
American players. The Hawaiian mu-
sic, said to be a native development OF
the hymns first sung in the Sandwich
Islands by the American missionaries
years ago, is tuneful and haunting
having a barbaric element in it thai
never is detected in the music of high
ly civilized nations

BOND ELECTION IS CALLED
(Continu d from page one)

BILE. and not to wait until after the
election before calling for bids so
that, should the bonds carry, as it is
anticipated that they will. there will
be no delay On the advice of the
Swift, Causey, Foster & company the
bonds were made a twentyyear issue,
optional after ten years, with not to
exceed per cent interest. For sim
plicity of computation it was urged
by the attorneys and agreed to by the
council. that the issue should be for
1915, 900 instead of $4,000 called for
by the engineers, and it was also
thought that this was a narrow
enough margin to allow for possible
increased cost of construction.
Judges of election are: First ward
William Landing, G. c. Taber, j. c.
Beauchamp; Clerk, Stuart H. Taylor
Second William Graham, c. II
Stinson, p e. Dean; Clerk, Reese M
Williams. The First ward polling
place will be in the Perrine hotel
basement, and in the Second ward will
be in the Johnson Auto Sales COM
pany office.
Judge ]. R. Boutwell, appeared be-
fore the council in behalf of City En-
gineer J. A. Bybee regarding the con-
struction to be placed on the policy
of paying the engineer. Judge Both
well cOntended that under the ordi-
nance, the city should pay the en-
gineer so much per lot instead of sc
much per diem. City Attorney Davies
ruled that the ordinance referred tC
had to do with individuals putting in
walks under the old system and was
not binding on the city when putting
/ in walks on an extensive scale. The
council had previously taken that po-
sition and adhered to it. The city

should be placed on regular salary

directing the fight against insect pests
in this county, has consented to give
a lecture at the high school physico
lecture room tomorrow evening, spec
tally devoted to the pests that infest
trees, and how to get rid of them. In
treating his subject Mr. Burrill will
use a stereopticon for illustration,
thus making his talk especially inter
esting as well as instructive. There
has been considerable talk about the
desirability of the purchase by the
city of a spraying outfit for the trees
on the streets, and we understand
that the city fathers will attend this
lecture with that question in mind
One thing is perfectly sure, and that
is the fact that the trees along our

MINE NEAR CARSON
HAS GOOD SHOWING
HIGH ASSAYS ARE OBTAINED
IN WORK OF PROSPECT.
ING

LOrenz Neher of Bellingham,
Wash, arrived in Carson City a few
days ago for the purpose of obtain
ing first hand information regarding
mining property in which he is heav-
lily interested. Mr.. Neher is a re-
tired capitalist of Bellingham and
president of the Panama Canal Min
ing company and a heavy stockhold-
er in the Observation-Disclosures Mines
company, both of which are within
a short distance of this city, the for
mer five and a half miles to the
southwest and the latter 10 miles to
the north.
Both of these properties are being
vigorously developed and it was
when the news or cutting the ledge
carrying high-grade ore on the Pan
m Canal property reached Mr.. Ne
her that he decided to make the trip
to Carson City to inspect the prop
erty. He stated that he was more
than pleased with the showings that
have been developed on the property
and which had been reported to him
by Mr. Thomas when the strike was
made.
The main. or lower tunnel is now
in for a distance Of 44O feet, and it
is expected that the ledge which was
encountered in the upper tunnel will
be reached with $50 feet of addi-
tional work. This will be accomp-
lished within the next 80 or 40 days.
There is, in all, over 500 feet of tun-
mel work on the property.
Several other lodges have been
extensively ~prospected and excellent
values obtained, and while it is the
intention to Immediately take out
ore for shipment. the officers of the
company are also figuring on the
erection of a 50-ton mill on the prop
erty. Additional men will be put to
work in the very neal future.
Assays received lately from the
strike made in the upper tunnel
gave returns of from $50 to $500
and the cutting of the ledge by the
lower tunnel will give several hun
dred feet more depth.-Carson News.

BUY NEW HOME
COHEN BUILDING Is PURCHASp@e
By -FOUR GOLDFTELD
BODIES

After negotiating for several
months for the purchase OF a per-
manent home, Goldfield Masonic
bodies contaminated a deal this
morning for the purchase of the J.
M. Cohen building on Columbia
street. The building was bought
from Cohen, who is nov in San
Francisco. The purchase price has
not been made public.
The building was purchased by
the Masonic Temple association,
composed of trustees from Monte
yuma lodge No. 80, Goldfield chap
ter No. 10, r. A. M; Nevada coun-
Gil No. 1 E. and S. M, and Malta
commandery No. 8, Knights Temp
lar, the four Goldfield bodies.
At a cost which it is said will
approximate the purchase price of
the building, it will be remodeled
into one of the finest Masoni
temples in the state, with lodge
rooms on the upper floor and a
banquet hall and club rooms on
the ground floor. Special provision
will also be made for the women
members of the Eastern Star, rooms
being provided for their exclusive
use.
1t is understood tl.at the building
will be used ~exclusiI V T.; Nasonic
bodies.
1t is planned to start the work OF
remodeling within a short time and
on completion of the work the tenn
pie will be dedicated with appropri-
ate ceremonies with Grand Master
Lindsay of Tonopah and other grand
Of icers present.
For the past year Goldfield Ma
sonic bodies have been planning to
abandon their present home, as
there has been a considerable in
crease in membership and cores
ponding increase in financial re-
sources, causing general dissatisfac-
ton with facilities for lodge work
offered by the Palace block on Main
street, where all bodies have been
meeting, and also with the UNI
favorable location of the building.
Members also felt the need for club
rooms such as will be installed in
the Cohen building.
