ENDS CLIMBING IF
 MOUNTAINS TOF|ND
 OBSERVATORY SITE

Edgar H. Fletcher, observer at the local station of the weather bureau, returned Monday after a weeks moun- tain climbing trip in Southern Cali fornia and Nevada made in the search for a suitable peak for use by the Smithsonian institution in it's bolo- metric observations of solar radition
 This is the second and final trip made by Mir. Fletcher for this purpose, Crescent Peak in southern Nevada having been decided upon as the best peak for the purpose.
 Another location, in the Haruuahala mountains near Wenden, visited by MT. Fletcher in June during his first sur Vey, has been recommended by him in an extensive report covering his in- Vestlgations which is being forwarded to the chief of the weather bureau at Washington.
 MT. Fletcher's investigations were made in the vicinity of Barnwell, Ivan pan, Gina, Nipton and Hart in Cali tornla as well as at Crescent, Nevada and great deal of hard mountain climbing was involved.
 Crescent Peak, recommended bv MT Fletcher as the site for the Smithson ian observatory, is the highest emi- hence in chain of hills connecting the New York mountains with the mccullough range and rises 6,o01 feet above sea level.
 Extreme dryness of the atmosphere as well as the ease of access and the nearness of a water supply, were the factors in MT. F1etcher's decision other higher peaks having had to be abandoned because of their ruggedness and almost complete inaccessibility.

NOW ASKS MARRIAGE
 BE DECLARED VOID

Claiming that sufficient time had not elapsed from the date of the decree of his divorce in Mohave county to render his marriage in Los Angeles legal, Harry H. Kidder yesterday filed an action in the superior court against Evalyn Ndder in which he asked that his last marriage be declared void.
 In the complaint filed by A. L. Good man, Kidder contends that the di- vorce decree in the Bertha Kidder versus Harry H. Kidder was granted May 21, 1917. A year had not elapsed, he contends, before he remarried-the date being April 23, 1918.
 The suit was filed in Judge Stan fords division of the superior court, divorce action brought by Kidder in Judge Lyman's division few months ago having been dismissed when the plaintiff failed to established years residence in the state. Judge Lyman later heard a separate maintenance action instituted by Mrs. Kidder and allowed her a certain sum for support each month. Mrs. Kidder, it is said, has been compelled to appeal to the court on various occasions to secure her support money and in addition to making the payment Kidder has been compelled to pay counsel fees by hay ing the matter brought into court.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Love Burglar" at the Lamar

Wallace Reid who comes to the Lamara for today and tomorrow in The Love Burglar" has been credited with bringing to the screen some of the most novel offerings ever brought to pictures. The present bill is no exception.
 We find him cast as David Strong whose wayward brother seeks solace over the flowing bowl in one of the most notorious saloons on the East of New York. David goes to the place to get his brother, and is mistaken for The Colt Kid.' a criminal whose release from prison is momentarily ex- pected. Accepting the spirit of ad- venture, he carries out the deception and when Joan Gray. young woman of the place, throws her arms around him, with the statement she is to marry him, he knows he is glad of his decision, for this girl strongly appeals to him. When the plan is announced that David's sisters house is next fer burglary, he agrees to help them. 1t forms the climax of as clever a tale as one would care to see.

ID BREAK GROUND FUR
 NEW MILLION DOLLAR HOTEL IN FORTY DlYS

l M. T. Grier, president of the operat- i ing company which has completed ar engagements for the construction of the new million dollar hotel in Phoenix at Central avenue and Monroe street Oh the site of the old Central school build ing which now is being razed, arrived in the city yesterday from Chicago ac- companied by Mrs. Grier. MT Grier has been for the past two months in | Chicago and other eastern cities com pleting final plans for the hotel and investigating methods of hotel con- l struction and operation.
 T have very little that is new to say regarding the building of the new ho- tel said MT. Grier after his arrival. "The proposition is completely financed and arrangements are going steadily forward for the starting of the work. The old building on the site is almost completely wrecked. Ground for the hotel will be broken within 10 days. l MT. Grier was informed that there were some people in Phoenix who were not backward in stating that they were extremely doubtful that the new hotel ever would be built and that the whole matter was just "hot air" T don't see now the people can give credence to such things" replied Mr Grier. Do they suppose we are tearing down a. | big building and evacuating tenants for our own amusement? Have I been spending a large amount of money on this trip just for fun?
 The name of the new million dollar hotel has practically been decided upon. MT. Grier said, but they are not yet ready to make it public. During his | trip Tn the east MT. Grier has visited Dubuque, Iowa; Omaha. Des Moines. Cincinnati, St. Louis and Chicago ex- amining in each city the newest hotels | with view to copying the best fea- lures of their construction.
 Postle and Fischer. Chicago archi- tects who make speciality of hotel architecture, have been engaged for the last three months in drawing the plans for the big ne-story hotel struc- ture and it is expected that the plans will be completed by October 15.

"Traveling Salesman" a. the Hip

The Travelling Salesman" as clever a plot as was ever woven into a comedy offering, which stars Frank Mcintyre, is playing an engagement today at the Hip, holding over for tomorrow as well. It keeps the audience in laughter throughout the entire film.
 Bob Blake is the traveller, and one day he finds himself in a litIe cross road town. The town looks life dead one to the knight of the grip until he spies the laughing face of the little telegraph operator and then the travel ing man falls like a ton of bricks. " But this girl is not won so easily. The plot rapidly revolves around the fact that the operators parents are about to lose their home because the owner, money mad, would sell it to a railroad who wants the property. How the travelling man "gets on the job" and how the schemers are fooled by his cleverness is another item of fun value, which adds materially to this excellent feature.
 On the same program the Mack Sem nett comedy, His Wife's Friend" is the added attraction.

Never has a stock company been more enthusiastically received in Phoe- nix than was the greeting accorded the Edler company Monday night at the Elks' theater. The capacity audience rose up as a unit and in unmistak- able manner let the players know that they had found home in this city among the warmest of friends.
 The hit recorded by Miss Winifred Greenwood, the leading woman, was one of the most decided ever won by an actress in Phoenix. This very clever young woman certainly estab- lished herself in the affections of local playgoers.
 Likewise. Clifford Alexander, the leading man, demonstrated that all, and more, that had been said of him was true and that he is a sterling actor The other members of the Edler com pany, without exception, maintained the high standard.
 Cheating Cheaters," the clever crook play which is the opening bill, is interesting in every line and every action. It springs surprise after sur prise that keep the audience keyed to the highest pitch of expectancy.
 There will be no matinee today, the first matinee coming on Saturday. Thereafter they will be given on Wed nesday, Saturday and Sunday. The bill for next week will be "The Brat" with Miss Ruth Ormsby in the title role

LITTLE WORK
AS RESULT OF
LEAGUE LAWS
Nonpartisan Administration
Has Brought Improve
ments to Standstill.

AS a result Of the attitude OF the
state administration, and the laws
passed by the Nonpartisan league at
the last session of the state legisla-
ture, few public improvements are to
be looked for in Grand Forks or other
cities of North Dakota during the
present year. according to G. S. Giles,
city engineer.
$50 far as l know at present the
only work contemplated in Grand
Forks for the. coming year is the in
stallation of a small amount of curb
ing on Third street, said Mr.. Giles
today. "Of course there will be a GER
tain amount of maintenance work
necessary, but 1 look for little if any
new work to be Undertaken.
1.-The same condition exists in prac-
ticallyl every city in North Dakota as
far as I am able to find out.
g 1.-The plain fact of the case is that
investors are not falling yer them
selves to buy bonds of North Dakota
cities. The reason for this is the atti-
tude of the state government, and the
laws passed by the legislature at the
last session. Under the circumstance
I. fear that money for any improve
ments would be hard to obtain.
1.-THE same condition exists in re-
gard to private enterprise. AS a re-
suit Of the new tax laws 1 think there
will be very little building done in the
city this year. Up to the present time
in fact only one building permit has
been issued
"Of course, if the effort to repeal
these laws through. the referendum
petitions for which are nov being cir
culated is successful the situation will
be entirely different, and we may
hope for a. RESUMPTION Of activity"

q year ago to raise money for the Red

Cross fund from this one source. The
jars were taken out yesterday, and
the system will be abandoned for the
time being, according to w. H. Shulze,

Of the amour collected yesterday,
thirteen thousand pennies accounted
for $3.50 Of. the voluntary donations
made toward the l~uxury-tax during
the past few months. and Red Cross
accountants who yesterday took stock
of h contents of the jars, declare
that there has never been so many
pennies together al one time before
in the history Of Grand Forks.
The luxury tax jars were established
at the same. time that the Red Cross
girls were organized to collect pen
MES at the various theaters.
