Successful Theatrical Performance

Another theatrical event of no small
degree of Importance to some, was the
performance of Cinderella" given by
the @. V. Club in the loft of the Haw-
kins barn last Saturday afternoon. The
advertising managers and advance
agents had done their work thor
oughly and in consequence a large
and enthusiastic audience greeted the
youthful performers-in fact, the S.
r. o. sign was needed-and repeti-
tion of the play was demanded so
popular did the young stars become.
The cast of characters was as fol-
lows: Cinderella, Katherine Field;
Prince, Annabelle Anderson; Mother
Hazel Lark; Disagreeable Sisters, Hell
en- Knox and Gladys Flesher; Fairy
Godmother, Janet Hawkins; Herald,
Flossie Hubbard.

FISH HATCHERY IS IN
PROSPECT
Game Warden Jones Considering
Sites Along the Payette
River-Much Needed.

If suitable site can be secured.
state fish hatchery will be located
somewhere between Emmett and Cas-
cade, on the Payette river. So stated
State Game Warden Jones before
meeting of the Emmett Gun Club on
Sunday afternoon. The need of such
a hatchery in this section was pointed
out by Mr.. Jones, to keep stocked the
streams of this section of the state,
as the supply of fish is being rapidly
depleted by the constantly increasing
number of people who are spending
their summers in the woods along
these streams, the use of motor cars
and the accessibility of even former
remote parts Of the forest due to the
building Of good roads.
The meeting was largely attended
and many matters of interest to the
club, as well as to all sportsmen, were
discussed. Besides Warden Jones,
Deputy Warden Barringer was pres
ent. Mr.. Jones made a splendid talk
along general lines as regards pro-
lection and propagation of game and
fish, and urged cooperation with game
officials to enforce the game laws.
He brieuy explained the changes made
in the game laws by the last legisla-
ture, among which he mentioned: In
creasing the bag limit on ducks from
IL to Is birds; lengthening the pheas-
ant season to 30 days; open season of
Is days on quail; making the open
season for sage hens and grouse at
same time, August 15.
The club enthusiastically endorsed
Warden Jones's plan for a Payette
river hatchery, and named G. B. Mains,
E. X. Hayes, Reub Eaton and E. L.
Holverson as committee to coop
crate with Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Bar
ringer in selecting a site and in rem
dering such other assistance as de-
sired.

Meteor Comes to Earth.

People out of doors Sunday evening
about II o'clock witnessed a brilliant
spectacle when a meteor left its astral
home for the earth. Al Leggitt says
is fell straight down and looked as if
it struck just west of the sawmill.
George Zimmerman agreed with him,
but next morning when he telephoned
to down the valley towns, each one re-
ported it falling short distance west
so there is no telling; it may have
cooled its sides in the Pacific ocean.

|ShOWs N. Y. Street
RaiIWdy Prospects
Are VERY Serious

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The New
York street railway situation was the
chief subject Of inquiry today before the
federal electric railway commission, JOB
Il. Hedges, receiver for the New York
Railways company, being the chief wit
ness. Discussing the situation In which
the New York Railways company finds
itself, Mr.. Hedges said It was not un-
like that of many other companies
throughout the country, testimony re-
gardlng which already had been heard
by the commission.
"As a concrete example OF the stu
alton" Mr.. Hedges said, during the
six months ending March 3, 1919, the
New York Railways company earned in
operating income ove its expenses and
taxes, only $50, e65. During that period
the company also failed to pay It's rem
ais and likewise failed to pay the In
terest on a small underlying mortgage
on roads actually owned by 1t by more
than $4,000. ON a valuation Of $50
900. 900, which Is very conservative, the
company paid, during these six months,
less than n per cent. Furthermore,
this one per cent does not ALLOW for
fix ed charges, like mortgage, interest
and rentals on leased lines, or depreci-
alton"
Mr.. Hedges attributed the %company's
poor showing to the greatly increased
cost OF operating expenses, especially
labor. City experts, Mr.. Hedges said,
admitted, after a thorough Investigation
that relief In some form for the com
pany was necessary.
In an effort to over the ground
thoroughly, the commission has decided
10 hold night sessions, beginning to-
night. 1t Is expected the hearings will
last throughout the remainder OF July
and run several weeks into August
Thus far only the testimony Of rail
way experts has been heard.
