Clever Comedy with
 Clever Comedian Will Appear Here Tonight.

Tonight at the Palace theatre Lew Fields, that famous comedian of the stage, will appear in "The Man Who Stood Still"
 Stand on any corner in New York City or any other large city in the United tSates and you would never think that anything stood still, es- pecially the men. Therefore when you hear about "The Man Who Stood Still" you are inclined to think, at this wonderful age of progress, that he must be something picked up in the old curiosity shop. ''The Man Who Stood Still'' was Louis Mann's triumphant stage success. We have produced it with that wonderful artist, Lew Fields, who has demon strated his ability to make people laugh, the world over "The Man Who Stood Still" is one of the most interesting stories ever screened. In on scene you laugh until it becomes painful, only to find your laughter blending into tears, when, behold, there is another laugh coming.
 This is clean drama, highly en- tertaining, instructive and chuck full of wholesome amusement.

Arrested for Stealing Her Own Things She Thereby Wins Happiness.

Delightful, piquant Billie Burke, in her latest Paramount picture "The Mysterious Miss Terry" is as whimsically charming as ever and from the very first scene that flash es across the screen, the picture holds the breathless attention and interest of the spectator.
 "The Mysterious Miss Terry is m adaptation of story by Gelett Burgess, the well known author and humorist, and marks his entrance into the field of photoplay writing His remarkable literary success in the past points to brilliant future in this line which is more than jus tified by his opening production. Billie Burke, as Mavis Terry, cleverly demonstrates a novel meth cd of finding both Happiness-and a Husband The latter she does by a proces of elimination-that is: She goes incognito to, a nearby boarding-house where she takes up the life of an ordinary working girl although she is in reality an heiress. Here she meets three young men who promptly fall in love with her
 Each of them is poor and strug- gling for living, although far su- perior to the tyeps of idle young men she has known in her former sphere Finding out the secret ambitions of each she is able to gratify them and thus discover which is really worth while and in earnest.
 In, accomplishing this purpose, the determined young heroine involves herself in many thrilling and hu- morous situations such as a narrow escape, from being arrested for rob ping her own house. and later Tor giving away some of her own gorge ous gowns. Humorous episodes and thrilling adventure follow in rapid succession upon the heels of each other until a fascinating and un- expected denouement takes place which clears the atmosphere and gives just the right happy ending.
 This picture was shown last night and will appear tonight and tomorrow at the Coliseum.

MOSCOW, Ida, June 21. The fact that two girls who ran for positions on the athletic advisory board of the University of Idaho recently were defeated has spurred the women to greater efforts to ob- tain representation. While there will be no election until next year, the girls already are organizing with a view to making a strong campaign when the time comes for action.
 Coach Edmundsen was the great est opponent of the girls and it was largely his opposition to feminine ics which defeated the two candi- dates.

Districts Engineer States That Irri-
CATION System Is in the Best of
Shape and That He Does Not Antici-
pate More Than 500 Feet Over Pres
ent Demands Will Be Called For.

General Manager c. K. Clarke of
the Irrigation District, after being in
terrogated regarding the chances for
summer water, today stated that the
chances were the most favorable of
any years he had been in the Val
ley.
He stated that he is diverting 510O
second-feet of water. He said he did
not believe that the Valley would call
for more than 500 feet more at the
peak load, but that he could deliver
1000 feet more
Mr.. Clarke stated that the water
level in the Alamo is two feet lower
than it was at this time last year,
when but 4100 second-feet was being
diverted
The overpour at the weir in the
river is So feet. Engineer Clarke be-
lieves that 10000 second-feet can go
over the weir without damaging Yu-
ma lands or cutting the river banks.
1t is probable that he Tecolote cut
will not he finished < his year. Mr..
Clarke believes it to be the best plan
to let the river meander in the Teco-
lote slough. The flushing of the cut
at this time would fill the canals of
the District full of mud.

HUNS MEETING
GRANITE WALL
SOUTH OF YPRES
British and French Oppose Germany's
Hosts With Great Determination to
Stop Further Advances Toward
Anhiens-Allied Reinforcements Ar
irving by Thousands.

With the British Army in Belgium
Monday, April 29.-Germany's armies
are hurling themselves against a
granite wall on the three sides of the
ruined city of Ypres. After fighting
of the most terrific nature, the Brit
ish and French lines are still intact
and the enemy has lost terribly in his
repeated assaults against the lines
where the Allies stand at bay.
The objective of the fighting that
is now going On is the capture of
Ypres. where. since 1914, the British
have held their positions. Two years
ago the Allied lines were carried for
ward and the salient in front of the
city was wiped out, but from these
positions the British retired a week
ago to the trenches, where they stood
during the terrific fighting in the
spring of 1915, when they stopped
the Germans in their first drive for
the Channel ports.
Enemy BOmbards IL Miles of Front.
The present battle opened with a
bombardment Of the British and
French lines from Met%en to Voor-
mezeele, distance of twelve miles.
Then came reports of spread of the
fighting around the curve in the line
in front of Ypres until the Belgian
armies, north of the city. were in
volved. Field Marshal Haig's Off
cial report, anxiously awaited. brought
the news that, the utmost efforts of
the Germans had been fruitless all
along the line. The field marshal's
statement said that the Teutons had
paid a great oriec and had gained vir-
tually nothing.

HANDLING TROOPS
At CAMP LEWIS
(By Associated Pressi

Camp Lewis, Tacoma, Wash, April
30.-Handling the transportation of a
city of 10000 to $4,000 by means of
automobiles when as many as 10000
of the population want to go in one
direction at one time is one of the
problems of Camp Lewis which is left
in the hands of the Camp Lewis Trans
portation Company for settlement.
There are no street cars and the dis
tance from the entrance to camp to
the furthermost barracks of the cam
tonment is more than three miles.
The Camp Lewis Transportation
Company, with line of busses, has
the contract for carrying the men
back and forth within the cantonment
for a consideration of a Scent fare.
And for four days of the seven in
each week it is a comparatively SIM
pie matter, because there is little
travel of the enlisted men from their
barracks to the Tacoma bus station
on these days. But Wednesday aft
ernoons and Sundays probably two
thirds of the camp is deserted and
the thousands of men must be moved
within a space of about two hours.
For this purpose twenty husses are
in use and thew prove insufficient for
thousands of the men walk the full
distance from their barracks to the
Tacoma bus station or to the rail
wav station, from which nlace special
trains are run on the HOLIDAYS to take
the men to Tacoma and Seattle.

PREPARE
BOOKS FOR ARMY

For the past month, or, rather, since
the campaign commenced for the col
lecting of the soldiers books from
all the people of the county, the High
School students have been busy at
the County Library headquarters in
the High School building preparing
these books for shipment.
In each book pocket and book
plate has to be pasted, and then the
authors name and the title of the
book written on the inside of the back
cover, and then two cards bearing the
authors name and the title have to
be written on the typewriter.
The students have not had to be
urged to do this work. They have
chetrfullv volunteered their services
Each period a student will come ard
say, 81 have come to paste the SOL
diees' books" The next period two
may come in-one to write in the
books and the other to typewrite the
cards-and so on through the dav.
Up to date, from the county head
quarters over 500 books have been
shipped. Many books are being pre-
pared, with reports of more books TO
come in, and so this work will prob
ably 90 on until the close of school
The students take their study hours
to do this work and do their studying
at home.
