 One of the outstanding features of the success of the remarkable William Fox photoplay ''Over the Hill'' is the mighty chorus of praise that has been accorded Mary Carr. who, in this remarkable film ing by William Fox of Will Carleton:s amous story in verse, has wos a niche in me half of film fame. over the Hill" $ .eing shown at Breed theatre all this eek.

goods will make up several specials
trains to cross the country from the
north to the south. For several weeks
the railroad passenger service for the
various lines has been in the keenest
competition for the public. Just
what roads will be travelled by the
caravan has not been announced.
Not since the days of the flight
of the Mormons from Nauvoo, ILL
nois, to Utah has there been such a
rapid movement of religious orders
on the American continent.
+ Rev. J. F. Wiebe of, Herbert, Sask.,
was here today arranging for the
transportation of hundreds from vari-
ouspoints in Canada. They will set
tie in western Durango, Mexico, and
the Mexican government will give
them free transportation from the

had fixed up the house for Larsen and
prepared dinner for all the family.
Shortly after dinner the daughter OBJ
served boat on the lake and had

TAX COMMITTEES MEET
DISCUSS new LEVY
Indications Are that Levy for
Next Year Will Show Small
"@ Total Reduction %

A meeting of the combined commit
tees on the tax levy was held last
night. A number Of other taxpay-
ers were also present. A long discus
sion took place with reference to the
tax levy: past present, and future.
Quincy Brooks represented the COM
mittee of the school board, G. w. War
field, the park board, six members Of
the city council were present and the
members of the Civic and Commerce
association tax committee. !, :e&
A number of citizens offered sug-
,gestions in reference to taxation mat
tiers. Morris Kaplans suggested a
closer coordination Of all tax bodies,
I'D. Trask gave number of figures
with reference to school taxation
matters, making comparisons between
BenAdji and other similar; cities. A.
P. White and George Campbell advis-
ed strongly a general reduction iE
taxes, the latte: pointing out the
necessity of this from the standpoint
of new industries.
At the present time it looks as if
there will be a small reduction lin the
tax rate next year. A number of re-
auctions will be made in the schoOl
rate. ills expected that the rate of
school taxation will be about 60 mills
as against 20 this year. The city rate
will be larger, owing to the fact that
the last two years the levy has not
been large enough to take care of the
city finances causing overdrafts
which must be. taken care Of. It is
thought the city rate will be about
40 mills as against 1928 mills and
1876 mills for the. past two years.
The county rate will be reduced to
about "a mills, the state will be 2
mills and the, park board will be
two or three mills. it is expected.
The reductions in one department
will about be Offset by increases in
others for next year with a possibility
of perhaps a small total reduction.
