VAUDEVILLE TO
START TOMORROW

Honolulu's approaching vaudeville
program, provided by Joel c. Cohen
at the Bijou theater and commencing
tomorrow evening, will consist Of four
big acts with an addition of one OF
the most interesting photodramas
that has been seen in Honolulu in
some time. The photoplay stars Ed
mund Breese in THE Shooting Of Dan
McGrew," based on the poem of the
same name by Robert w. Service.
Robert w. Service has spent great
many years in the great snow world,
having heard the call of the Yukon
and followed the golden trail to the
land of six-month days and nights.
During his journeying in this great
and almost unknown world he OBJ
served and his observations have been
reduced to the most delightful verse.
He has caught the vernacular of the
Far North and builded monument
the hardy pioneers who broke the
trail, extracted the gold and then
threw 1t away. Dan McGrew and his
Tight o. love" Lady Lou are char
aeters typical of the land. In the
poem they are fascinating characters
and should prove equally so in the
photodrana. .'>...= n

The contract for the construc.
ton of sewers in the city of Bax-
ter Springs was awarded last
Thursday to Plummer- Adams
Co., of Springfield, Mo-, for a
consideration OF $15l,237.57. The
terms of the contract call for
the construction of the sewer
system in the city within 200
working days.

and most of the bidders had their
representatives here when the
bids were opened. The next
higher bidder was the Burt Aus
tin Construction Co., of Hutchin-
son. Their price was $169, 300.
The plan of the Plummer-
Adams company is. to construct a
camp or two, as soon as possible,
and bring in a host OF workmen
and rush the work through. As
long as it is almost impossible to
get white laborers almost at any
price, the plan Of the company is
to bring in either colored or Mexi-
can laborers.
After the contract was let, the
engineer, Moore of Joplin, who
had made all the surveys and
drawings of the lines, gave sur
prise banquet to the members of
the companies who had SUBJ
mitted bids, to the mayor, city

tives of the local papers. An
elaborate feed was provided,

tee In charge of the rebuilding of
Of the Baxter Picher road, report
that the contractors have already
finished grading. and graveline
the west two miles Of the road
and have graded two, more
miles ready to apply the gravel.
Taking the cost Of the work
done thus far as d basis the COM
mittee finds nat the money rails
ed by popular subscription for
this purpose will not be sufficient.
The committee estimates that.
it has enough money to complete
ly grade the stretch of five miles
and to gravel three miles, leaving
two miles of graveling to be pro-
vided for. This will require an
additional $1,000.
No law exists by which the
county or township can be made
to 10 this, so it appears that if
the road is completed the
men interested in having this
road put in good condition win
be obliged once more to go down
in their pockets and dig up the
money needed to complete the
job. Another canvass for funds
will be made.

MAN KILLED AND
SEVERAL INJURED
When Ore Hopper at Admiralty
COllapses-New Mills for
Interstate-Mining
Notes

The hopper mill of the mil
No. A of the Admiralty Zinc
company collapsed last Thurs.
day night at 8 o'clock during
the initial trial of the mill.
Artemis Ward, the engineer,
had his skull crushed and died
the next day. The knee cap oil
the screen man, Mr.. King, was
injured. Several others received
minor injuries. Sixteen men were
left in tie ground. The remains
of Mr.. Ward were tal;en to Neck
City, Mo-, and buried.
The mill was being built by
the United Iron works Of Joplin
and it was started nearly three
months ago. The hopper con-
taint d 500 tons of dirt besides
the hoist, the engine and other
weight. The mill was started at
$50 and it was going through
its initial trial prior to its being
accepted by the Admiralty COM
pany.
The real cause of the accident
still remains a mystery, but it is
thought that it was possibly due
to defective timber or faulty con-
struction.
Just before the accident one
of the men went down from the
hopper to get water. He was
saved frm all injuries that might
have befallen him had he been
in the hopper. Another man
states that when the hopper be-
gan to give away, he saw what
was coming and ran to one of
the corners and grabbed a big
timber. He went down with the
timber, but when it struck the
groubd the man was thrown away
from the wreck.
The men on the ground got a
coil of rope and block and pulled
each man up. The last man was
pulled up at 10 p. m that night.
There are two shafts at this
place 200 feet apart. They will
be connected by a tram way. 1t
lacks only so feet to complete
the connection. The company is
planning to build another mill on
the Longacre land at Cardin.
This mill will be known as the
Sinden. The first mill built by
this company was only $50 tons
capacity.
The next two were 200 tons
each while the fourth one was of
500 tons for ten hours.
