AND RECEIVED MUCH GEN
UNINE APPLAUSE.

A large and enthusiastic audience
greeted the presentation by Dawson
high school, of the comedy, ken
lucky Belle" on Friday night last
The large cast was we'll selected, and
each character was played with nat
uralness and ease which speaks we'll
for the genuine ability of the young
actors, as well as throwing much cred
it upon those who directed the play.
The entire high school faculty is to be
praised for the direction of the play;
but especial mention should be accord
ed Miss Louise McNulty, to whose
interest and labor is due large meas
ure Of the success of the evening.
Kentucky Belle" is a comedy with
variety OF situations, and with vast
opportunities for character portrayal.
The play depends for its humor main
ly upon character portrayal, and the
Interpretation OF character was excel
lent. Bessie Thomas, as Miss Marian
Douglas, was an unique figure and was
fitting partner to Rufus Hill, in the
role of Colonel William Mcmillan, the
latter filling admirably the part of the
, typical Kentucky colonel. Virginia
Hollingsworth and Langston Bolton,
a Kentucky Belle" and young stu
dent of sociology, whose affairs form
the basis OF the plot, were we'll car
ried out Mary Sherman, as Marie
Van Harlenger, was particularly
bright spot in the cast Two black
spots Of exceptional merit were Gin
dy," the maid, and Henry, the butler,
which parts were played by Mollie
Stewart and Ernest Allen, who kept
the house in an uproar by their st1-
perior approximations as well as by
negro dancing and singing. The other
members OF the cast: Esther Hind, as
Mrs. Gordon; Florence Nasworthy, as
Miss Gordon; Julian Hicks, as DR..
Blake; Helen Harrell, as the trained
nurse; anad the four linesmen, William
Lewis, Emmett Johnson, Henry Will
kinson and Wayland Bolton, all de
serve much praise in their respective
parts
The between the acts" numbers
were OF equal merit with the rest OF
the program Kathryn Roberts and
Florence Nasworthy were splendid III
the little skit, presented between the
first and second acts. Mary Sherman
was forced to repeat her solo, which
was appreciated fully. Mr.. Jesse
Chambless, in a tenor solo, Our Yes
| erdays," was very effective. A beauti-
full chorus of twenty high school girls,
was a distinctive feature, as was the
dainty dance rendered by little Doro-
| nv Allen and Marinell Harrell.

of Only $f2,737

Warrants in the amount of $16,-
629.9S were issued against the wa
ter department of the city during the
year 1921, while the total receipts
OF the department were only $12,-
1860, according to report just
recently compiled by city officials.
The expenses of the department were
approximately $500 higher than in
1920, due to the purchase of a guam
tity of pipe and the construction of
pump house. Inasmuch as the
council is now considering an or
dinance which would substantially in
crease the water rentals on quantities
over the minimum, figures from the
report, which covers the period from
1915 to the end of 1921, will prove
interesting to readers.
During the entire period from jan
uary |, 1915, to December 81, 1921,
the receipts of the department to-
tailed $S2,913.45, while the expenses
of the department during the period
were $S3,041.S2, showing a loss dur
ing the seven years of $12S.37. In
cluded in the expense totals. how
ever, is the amount of $4,000 which
went into a bond redemption fund
to take care of water bonds out
standing which total $4,000 and
are due 10 years hence. This money
has been invested in road bonds and
aside from interest on these bonds
it will be necessary to raise approx
mately $4,000 during the next 10
years to retire the bonds issued
against the water department.
During the seven year period war
rants in the amount of $7753 which
were outstanding on January 1, 1915,
have been retired, while new war
rants in the amount of $62,545 were
issued, or total of $70,29S War

GENERAL COCKTAILS
SPEAKS At CHAPEL
puilder of Panama Canal Tells of the
difficulties Overcome in Its
Construction

The State College was highly hon
cred this week by the visit of Major
General George w Goethals. The
word honored is used advisedly, for
II is no easy matter to induce this
busy man to devote a days time to
sight seeing and speech making
The distinguished visitor arrived
Tuesday evening and spent the early
mart of Wednesday morning inspect
ing the college. He was scheduled to
address the students at 1000 o'clock,
hut long before that hour the audi
forum was crowded to capacity and
standing room was at premium. It
was fine tribute to a man who has
made his reputation as doer of big
things, rather than as public
speaker.
General Goethals was introduced
by Vice President Waller and at
once plunged into a description of
the building of the Panama canal and
a discussion of some of the engin-
eering difficulties encountered and
overcome. He spoke in a conversa-
tional tone without any attempt at
oratory, but occasionally threw in
bit of dry humor which made big
nit with his auditors.
Simply and cOncisely he reviewed
the development and solution of this
great engineering feat of connecting
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. He
told of the triumph over the yellow
fever scourge and paid an earnest
tribute to the men who cheerfully
sacrificed their lives to demonstrate
that the fever was spread by mos
uitoes instead of by contact with per-
Of number of slides projected on a
screen on the stage, he impressed
upon his hearers the magnitude of
the work and the difficult engineer
ing problems which had to be faced
and solved. So engrossed did he be-
come in his subject that he had to
be notified that the taxi was waiting
to take him to his train All who
had the privilege of hearing him
were deeply impressed by the rugged
simplicity of his personality and his
quiet but earnest and direct style of
speaking
The object of General Cocktails
visit to the Northwest is to pass on
the engineering feasibility and eco
nomic value of the Columbia Basin
irrigation project of which o. L. Wal
Ter is secretary. The project is a
plan to furnish water to 1888, 900
acres of arid land in Central Wash
lngton, at an estimated cost of $175,-

one of long and active service. He
