Mrs. Mabel T. Herrick, who occa-
sionally has column in the Rutland
Herald, is very skeptical about the
benefit which we have derived from
taxes paid for highways and schools.
Some very obvious things are hard to
srove TO some people who look at
-nings from an unusual standpoint.
II might be hard to prove that we are
any better off than a South Sea ISL
ander or a Hottentot, provided the
South Sea Islander and Hottentot are
perfectly happy in their present sit
uation.
II is no doubt true that the hard
life Of the early settlers produced
hardy race and great men, and did il
without cement roads and modern
schools. But what farmer, or what
man in any station in life wants to go
back TO those hardships? What farm
er wants to go back 10 conditions
which existed thirty years ago? Who
is there who wants the return Of the
old red school house with its odors
and box stoves
As to our roads, they are even now
none too good, but il large sums had
not been expended on them they would
now be impossible.

One a Minute" Sunday

Fred Jackson. prominent Ameri- can playwright, is author of the comedy, "One a Minute" which was produced in New York several years ago. It was quite successful and while it was heralded as a big stage hit, # has proved to be even more suited to the screen than to the spoken. drama. Mr. Jackson is author of several stage hits, his most sue cessful being Officer 666" and "The Naughty Wife" In addition to its sparkling comedy, "One a Minute" contains. a novel and thoughtful theme which lifts it far above the commonplace. "One Minute" will be the attraction at the Coliseum for tomorrow night only.

COLLEGE FUNDS PROVIDED IN
 GRANT OF FEDERAL BUDGET

The first annual federal allot- ment toward the maintenance and endowment of the Alaska Agricul- tural College and School of Mines has been approved by the Bureau of Budget and check for S50,000 re- ceived by Territorial Treasurer w. C. Smith, according to the Juneau Empire. This is said to definitely fix the finances necessary for the con- tinued operation of Alaska's first college.
 This is the first aid received by the Territory in its establishment of the educational institution, all buildings, original equipment and other necessary expenditures incur red in opening the college having been paid for out of funds received from Territorial appropriations. The money is available annually to col leges teaching agriculture and the mechanic arts, as provided in Con- gressional acts passed in 1890 and 1907.

SCREEN MASTERPIECE COMING
 OVER THE HILL"

The theme which evoked from King Lear his immortal plaint, How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless childn and which caused Absalom to break the heart of his aged father, David, King of Israel, has been used by William Fox for his greatest photoplay, "Over the Hill, <" which will shown at the Coliseum next Friday and Saturday. There h Is been so much said in magazines and newspapers all over the country about the sensational run of this picture in New York City, for a full year prior to it's general release. that II seems almost superfiuous to dwell at length on its merits. Stuff |. to say that the superb film drama was made by Fox from two of Will Carleton's celebrated Farm Ballads and has for its theme the divine love of a mother. While the story is cal culated to reach, by its strength of sentiment, the heart of the most calloused playgoer, it has neverthe- less, many lighter moments when the disabilities are tickled by some of the most delightful comedies ever flashed on the screen.

GOVERNMENT WILL BUILD
 COURTHOUSE AT RYDER

The Hyder Miner is authority for the statement that work is to com mence on a courthouse building at Hyder in the early spring. The plans of the federal government were made known by Marshal Beaumont, who visited Hyder recently.
 The building is to be erected on the site selected in the fall, being two lots cleared by the Pioneers in the spring of 1920, at the inter- section of Cottonwood and Fifth streets, in the forest reserve ad- dition. The building will cost ap- proximately S1O,0O0. exclusive of heating plant and fixtures. It will house the office of the commissioner, marshal's office and living quarters, jail and district court room.
 District court quarters are con sidered necessary, the Miner says, for the reason that officials believe Hyder will soon attain sufficient population to necessitate the hold ing of district court sessions.
