HIPPoDRoME CIRCUIT

Manager I. H. Walters of the Bun
galow theatre, who is looking ahead
to a very busy season with Hippo
drome Vaudeville Road Shows at his
theatre. is nothing if not a very keer
vaudeville fan himself. Like Presi-
dent Wilson and majority of other
particular Americans, he is very par
tial to vaudeville when the matter of
amusement is under consideration.
"You ask me why?" said Manager
Waters this morning. Because vau-
deville is the lightest. the brightest
and the most varied kind of amuse-
ment we have. That's why it is the
most popular with the big American
public Yesterday you know, vaude-
vile was practically in its swaddlinp
clothes. Today it outstrips all other
forms of amusements. A few years
ago it could boast of no high-salaried
artists. Today the greatest artists OF
the operate and dramatic stage, the
highest-priced stars and comedians
all are flocking to the big vaudeville
circuits. And bigger and better
known stars are constantly coming
to. the smaller circuits. To the man
ager on the small circuits vaudeville
nights at his theatre mean the bic
nights of the week Vaudeville is
making wonderful forward strides and
today is recognized as one of the
most potent factors in the amusement
field"

GOVERNOR DAVIS
ADDRESSES CLUB
Explains Workings of Cabinet Form
of Government-Fourth of July
Celebration Will Be Held

Tuesday evening the principle fea-
ture of the Caldwell Commercial Club
meeting was the address of Cover
nor Davis. Governor Davis took as
his subject the new form of govern
ment provided for at the last session
of the legislature which centralizes
authority and responsibility in the Of
flee OF the governor and places the
state government on business-like
basis in the opinion of the friends and
supporters of the new system.
Governor Davis said at the very
first that he would much prefer a
year hence to tell the people Of Idaho
what the administration had accom-
plished than to tell them now what it
hoped to accomplish. The governor
is fully convinced that the new sys-
tenn will be great success and that it
will be adopted by other states in the
near future.
Nine Departments
Governor Davis explained that the
state government is now under nine
departments instead of some 48 bu-
reaus. commissions and offices as in
the past. The purpose, authority and
responsibility of each department is
clearly defined by statute; and as each
department head is appointed by the
governor and responsible to him, in
the future the governor alone can be
held responsible for the success or
failure of the administration. Gov
ernor Davis explained in detail the
departments and pointed out the du-
ties of each.
He called attention to the fact that
in the past governors of Idaho had
been held responsible for things over
which they had little or no control
and established the injustice of such
accountability.
Governor Davis made very favor
able impression upon the audience and
was warmly applauded at several
points in his address. The governor
was introduced by Mr.. John w:
.Smeed. president of the Commercial
/ Club with few appropriate words.
At the conclusion of the address
Governor Davis was roundly cheered.
Business Meeting
After the address the meeting took
a short recess in order that those
present might meet the governor So
cially. After half an hour of visiting
the meeting was again called to or
der
It was decided after some dis
cussion to dedicate Memorial Park
Tuly 4th when a rousing patriotic
Fourth of July celebration will be
held in Caldwell. Those present at
the club meeting expressed a deter
mination to hold big celebration this
year.
The matter of the drainage of Dixie
came up for consideration and steps
will be taken to interest the reclama-
ton service in this enterprise.

COST OF PAVEMENT.
WILL NOT Be HIGH
Estimates of Engineer are Maximum
Figures-Boise Did Much Better
And So Will Caldwell

The cost of pavement will be lower
than the engineers estimates. Boise
let contract few days ago at SAC
per square foot or $50 per running
foot for 40 foot pavement. The
Boise pavement was bitulithic and
is fully guaranteed for five years. We
should at least get as low a bid as
Boise as our contract will be larger
If we get the same bid as Boise il
will mean a saving of $42.00, on the
estimates of the city engineer, per Is
foot lot On a 40 foot pavem emit. Along
the car line it will mean saving OF
$4,000 per lot.
Maximum Figures
The city engineer in his estimates
states only the maximum cost of paw
ing.
The bids may be considerably low
er on the different classes of pave
ment for which bids will be asked.
The price estimated per front foot to
the center line of 40-foot pavement
is 500, or $175.OO for a 25-foot lot.
On the street car line the cost will be
$500 per front foot or $l2500 for a
25-foot lot including curbing. The
street intersections Will De paved by
the city and be paid for out of the
proceeds of the sale of 20-year bonds
The bond election on May 10th is
for the purpose of authorizing the
bond issue to the amount of $82 1000 CO.
$50, 100000 of which will be used to pay
for the paving of the street intersec-
tons, and 100000 to be used to
replace and extend the present wood
pipe water mains with cast iron pipe
within the paving district. This will
call for a tax levy of $3.50 per thou
sand valuation, year to take care OF
the interest and principle due each
year for 10 years. Where the curb
ing is in a credit of IS cents per lineaI
foot or $l6.25 per 25-foot lot, will be
allowed
Thirteen thousand dollars was spent
in the last year on the streets and
about one-third of this amount was
spent on Cleveland boulevard and
Kimball avenue alone for upkeep
which amount will paw the interest or
the 100000 asked for in the bono
issue.

CANYON COUNTY
WENT OVER TOP
Caldwell Commercial Club Presented
Victory Flag BY Chairman Ross
Monday Evening

Monday evening Mr.. c. B. Ross,
county chairman Of the Victory Loan
campaign, presented the Caldwell
Commercial Club with a Victory
Loan flag in honor of the response
of Caldwell in the Victory campaign.
The Victory flag was presented to
Mr.. Smeed, president of the club,
who accepted it in behalf of the or
ganization with few appropriate re-
marks.
Monday evening large number of
Caldwell business men met at the
club rooms for the purpose of dis
cussing.the pavement bond issue. The
bond election will be held Tuesday
next. Every person who desires to
vote must register. The meeting ap-
pointed Mr.. Smeed chairman Of the
pavement bond campaign committee
with authority to appoint committee
men in every ward.
Canyon County Over Top
The exact figures in the Victory
campaign have not been fully tabu-
lated. Chairman Ross states that the
county oversubscribed by fully $l7,-
10000 Canyon county's quota was
$500, 10000 and the excess may reach
$4,000.
Mr.. Ross said Tuesday that each of
the five big districts went over with
out difficulty, but there were many
rural communities which did not clear
the top in both the Caldwell and
Nampa districts. Caldwell oversub-
scribed its quota by almost $4,000.
but the greater part of this oversub-
scription went to make up deficits in
rural communities. OF II school dis
tricts in the Caldwell district only
two oversubscribed. outside of Cald-
well, according to figures compiled
by Mr.. Ross. These were Knowlton
Heights and Notus. the latter about
doubling its $1,000 quota.
Reports from G. w. Lamson, chair
man for the Nampa district, indicate
about the same results that were OBJ
tanned in the Caldwell district. Out
side of Nampa only one school dis
trict Clone Starr subscribed its full
quota. Other districts fell down. un-
til Mr.. Lamson estimated Monday
evening that they had probably not
subscribed more than 50 per cent Of
the quotas. This shortage was made
up by the city of Nampa, which
greatly exceeded its quota.
District totals submitted MONDAY
gave Nampa subscriptions to the loan
totalinR $4,000 on $237 900 quota
Caldwell. $243000. on a similar quota
Parma. $4,000: Wilder, $4,000, and
Middleton. $4,000 Each one of these
five districts exceeded its quota, but
there were many school districts with
in most of them which did not make
their allotted amount.

David w. Griffith Producer

Ranking among the very foremost
of American motion picture produc-
ers, David Wark Griffith has pro-
duced numerous screen classics which
stand as exemplars of the best the
cinema art has thus far presented to
the world. 1t is perhaps unnecessary
to state that Mr. Griffith created
those wonder pieces, "The Birth of a
Nationr Intolerance" Hearts of
the World" and THE Great Love-" all
of which are brilliant evidences of his
artistry and painstaking attention to
detail. There is as much difference
between Griffith pictures and the or
binary screen productions. excepting
only those of Cecil B. DeMille
neur. as there is between the Polar
night and the brassy sun of the trop-
les. The Griffith picture, in point OF
conception, breadth of idea, splendor
of execution, artistic portrayals, mas
siveness, photography and general
excellence is unexcelled. In his new
Aircraft picture. "The Greatest Thing
in Life" all the qualities of produc.
ton which have made Mr.. Griffith
famous, are richly in evidence. The
theme of this superb picture, which
deals with love and war. is that pa.
triotism and love of country through
which men regain their souls ant
after many trials. find themselves
constitute the greatest thing in life
insofar as the material welfare of hu.
mainly is concerned. Mr.. Griffith
has produced another photoplay in
"The Greatest Thing in Life" which
will stand indefinitely as a monument
to his genius. craftsmanship and en-
terprise.
