Steel Contract Let
For White River
Bridge

As the days go by the realty o
a White River Bridge south o
KadOka grows stronger. The
contract for the cement pier anC
abutments, the bids for which
Were opened here last week, was
let TO d. w. COyner of Philip anc
active wonk on this part of the
bridge will be commenced al
once and rushed to completion
as rapidly as possible.
The bid of the Bethlehem
Steel company was accepted by
the State Highway Commission
and me contract let to them this
week tor the steel chat vii be
used in the bridge and shipment
VIII be made by them as soon as
possible and it is expected that
the steel will be on the ground
and ready to put in place as soon
as the cement pier and abute,
mentS are completed.
Also in this issue of the Press
appears a Notice to contractors
for the grading Of the road south
of the river in Washabau9h cou-
nty. This notice calls for the
grading and drainage Of the road
from the bridge south nearly a
mile and d half, or over the rough
portion of the road through the
White river breaks.
We are publishing this notice
again on the front page of the
Press as this will appear but
oace and we are again anxious
to have a number of bids sub
mltted and want 10 give the best
publicity possible to the notide
because the more rapidly these
bids are submitted and accepted
the sooner will the bridge and
road be put in and completed
and ready for travel.
The building of this bridge and
the grading of the road will be of
untold benefit to kadoka and also
to the people living in Washa-
bauGh and Bennett counties
south of the river as it gives
to them a good road and an ass
uTei river crossing at all times
of the year that will enable them
to set to a railroad town at any
time they may desire.
The State Highway Commiss-
ion is pushing this work as
rapidly as possible and ere we
know it the bridge across White
river that we have labored for all
these many years will be a real
ity and ready for the use of
travellers and this without a cent
OF expense to the county.
The building of the bridge and
grading of the road is being done
by the State and Federal Govern
ment.

Mime. Mabelle Wagner
Shank and The Soko-
loft Trio

Selmer Solem will present Nine
Shank, the gifted meZzo soprano,
and the Sokoloff Trio, in a raCital
at the Scenic Theatre, Kadoka,
on Friday evening, October 18th.
The affair will be a private
hearing, to which some of the
musicians and music lovers of
kadOka and vicinity have receiv-
ed special cards of introduction.
Nine. Shank, who was former
ly associated with Henry w. Saw
age in his operate work and was
one of his most popular prima
donnas, has subsequently, sung
in our most popular church choirs
and for years has organized and
directed great choruses and mu-
sical speCtacles. Her wide ex-
perience has given her a sense of
dramatic and musical values and
h knowledge of stagecraft that is
unerring.
Nine. Shank has had the adj
vantage Of the best musical train
ing which this country and Euro
pc affords, having had a course
in the Chicago Musical College
and also been a pupil of Maestro
Carlo SebaStiano, and Maestro
Giovanni Roche, of the Conserva-
tory of Naples, Italy.
The fact that Mime, Shank is to
appear with the Sokoloff Trio,
lends added interest to the event.
The Sokoloff Trio is composed
of Miss Madeleine MacGuigan
Sokoloff, Violin; Igor Sokoloff,
Cello and Mabel Rarick, Piano.
Their education and training,
musiCally and otherwise, has been
in America. They are therefore
thoroughly typical of our own
country and like many of the
prominent concert musicians be- |
fore the public today, are a won
derful example for their age, OF
What can be ACCOMPLISHED artis-
tiCally and musically in our native
land.
Each member is an artist doing
Individual work of high order. |
Their ensemble is unexcelled and |
together they form a delightful
combination of musical talent.
Their repertoire includes all
the Standard Trios, arrangements
and wide variety of solos from
the different periods and schools
OF composition, all of which has
been acquired through dilieent
study with the best teachers.
There are indications that
something out of the ordinary
will be heard at this recital al |
though Mr.. Solem refuses to di-
vul9e just what it is. The repor-
ter has his suspicious. If they
are correct those who attend are
apt to have a very pleasant sur
PRISE.

ESQ co OUT ON
MOONEY STRIKE
Halt Of Building Laborers
Quit; No Big Tieup

with only $50 men Of the Building
Laborers' union out on strike, and
sporadic one-man strikes In other In
dustries, the Mooney strike sched-
uled to take effect Monday did not
assume serious proportions in Seat
tie.
Altho other unions, which had
originally voted for the strike, re-
scinded their former action, the
building laborers adhered to their de-
cision until Sunday night. when a
special meeting was called, and the
strike, as far as the union was con.
cerned. was officially called off. The
union has a membership OF about
500.
Many OF the members of the union
did not agree with the action of call
ing off the strike, and did not report
for work Monday morning.
Officials OF the union estimated
that about half the membership was
on strike. and they are not expected
to return to work until Wednesday
morning. As the strike will last
only two days, II is thought that no
effort will be made to get the men
to return TO work.
None of the shipyard unions is out
on strike. according to announce
ment made at the Metal Trades coun-
Gil headquarters Monday morning,
but there are numerous one man
sympathetic strikes thruout the
yards.
