NJ iSQVE OF LIFE VITAL STORY.

"The Masque of Life," which comes tc the Best theatre next Tuesday and Wednesday proves what wonderful things can be done when there is a real story in a truly spectacular pro- duction. Too many motion pictures which claim fame because of their spectacular bigness have so little in the way of a real story that they fail to held the public. In this picture there is one of vital interest-and a simple story at that--lunning thru the entire seven reels. With this real plot as a background practically ev- cry truck known to motion picture directorship and good many more invented for this occasion are used in this spectacle which is practically dii- ferent from anything ever seen before in America.
 Practically every human emotion is touched on in this production--love, hatred. jealouslv, and the self sacri- flee df death-ara all represented. While in the spectacular scenes there are some cf 9 burning menagrie where fifty lions are trapped in a fiery inferno are among the most remark able animal pictures. The acting of Pete, the monkey with human intel li@ence is truly wonderful, and if one is not thrilled by the scenes on the brink of a 300 foot chimney, then one needs dynamite to arouse him.

The exposure of the imperial Ger man governments great spy system by William J. Flynn, recently retired chief of the United States Secret lServicek in She serial photodramav "The Eagles Eye" produced by The Whaftons, booked at the Orpheo theatre, beginning April 12 is an ev- ent of very great public importance.
 1t is a part of ganda designed to strike an effective blow at the kaiser's spy army in America by in forming the public Of it's methods and it's menaces.
 The power of the motion pictures to create public opinion and incite the people to activity and vigilance, is recognized by high governmental authority, both hero and abroad. This official recognition of the screen led Chief Flynn to prepare his story for photodramatic publication and allow his name to be used in connection with it's presentation.
 In "The Eagles Eye" Chief Flynn reveals startling details of the lm- iperial German governments system of world espionag age-Industrial, diplo- matic. military and naval-founded on authentic official facts. |" The establishment of branch oi l this wonderfully efficient spy system in the United States was not of re-

I 3 : '0R|T TO COUNCIL
B0kuD OF EQUALIZATION FINISH
H0WORK- MAYOR MAKES
+ aBOoAnEEnJDATIONS

= -.s - S. --
g. :. mo sity council met in special SEES
0iea Tuesday evening to receive the re-
post Of the board Of equalization, which
it approved. ~. p.
The water proposition was also dis
cusscd and it is planned snat tae CON-
mittee, which is composed Of all mem
be1s of~the cnnncil, have a number of
neetings in an c1deavor to arrive at
some definite proposal. 1t is planned
to make a report at the August meet
ing Of the council.
In relation to the work and methods
Of the board Of equalization. Mayor
Bergheim made recommendations to the
council as follows:
The board Of equalization has just
finished it's work for this year and
in that connection l wish to make
a few suggestions and recommends
tons to your honorable body:
We find that the assessor is very
competent and conscientious and has
done very good work in assessing
this city, but the time allowed him
is so short that even with assistance
it is impossible for him to make a
thorough examination Of all the prop
erty to be assessed and especially
in the year when both real and per-
sonal property is assessed. The time
allowed the Board of Equalization Tor
review is also very short, being just
one week, that it can only take up
and settle assessments that may be
disp~ted and cannot attempt to re-
view the whole assessment. From
my experiences with the matter of
assessment OF city property, have
CONS to the conclusion that we will
not 1es able to reach all the property
on ae7ive at fair and equitable as
saasnont until we can make a
Thorough investigation and examin-
at1pn Of all the property within the
citK limits, and have fair value
placed thereon.
n nay opinion such an investiga-
ton would undoubtedly bring to light
property that has heretofore escaped
taxation altogether, and other prop
erty which has not been fully taxed,
In short, the purpose of the investi-
cation would be to find and examine
all taxable property within the city
and place fair and accurate value
thereon so as to equalize the taxes
and il possible raise the total value
VI Jul NlCy -PloPoity anu IAoi ooy io
duce the rate Of taxation.
!, therefore, respectfully recon-
mend that the present assessor make
the above mentioned Investigation
and that he be paid so much per
month for the time that he puts in
on this work, and that he file his re-
port at the end OF each month for
the property thus examined, with the
city clerk. That the city clerk call a
meeting Of the Board of Equalization
for the purpose of going over this re-
port with the assessor, and that the
values be determined at such meet
ing and attached to the description
Of each property and that thereupon
said report be filed with the clerk
for use Of future assessors Of city
property

FRAZELL WAS SHOT IN THE BACK

fRAZEiLL WAS SiiOT In TEE BACK
While deer hunting on the west side
of Itasca park, Bert Frazell was mys-
teriously shot in the back, causing his
death. Frazell is son-in-law Of Joseph
Fimon of this city.
Ffazell accompanied by Steve Hoff
man, Dr., fellaW hunter, went into the
woods with team to pick up the car
cass Of deer they had shot the day
before. When they came within the
vicinity of the carcass the team became
frightened. Hoffman managed the team
while Frazell went to get the deer. A
few minutes after he had gone for the
deer, Hoffman heard a shot and heard
Frazell call for help. He Immediately
rushed to the place from whence the
calls came. On reaching the spot he
found Frazell lying on the ground shot
through the back. He lived but short
time after being shot.
The coroner of Clearwater county
was called to investigate the case al
though he did not call jury. By the
position of the wound it was evident
chat that the bullet came straight from
behind. There were no powder MARKS
on the clothing or body. The shooting
is not believed to have been accidental.
On receiving word Of the accident Jo-
seph Fimon left Immediately for Park
RADi69.
