LOCAL MINING SITUATION
PROMISING

Local mining men have never
been more optimistic than now. I'm
portant ore strikes have been made
recently in practically all the mines
which are being developed.
George Myers of Basin has uncov-
cred some ore which would cause =
stampede if business conditions were
normal Mr.. Myers used to say that
he had a million dollar mine, but
that statement no longer fits the
facts 1t looks now as if there were
tens of millions worth of ore in his
mine.
Among the properties in process
of development is that in which W.
NJ. Garvin is interested. Work is
at this mine.
When these mines are opened up,
they should givework to a thousand
men.

J. ID. ROBERTSON GIVES FIGURES
ON TAXATION

j. d. Robinson, state tax agent,
madt an address last Thursday
night at the Fourth ward meeting
house. The editor of this paper was
busy at work in the office, so Mr.
Robertson's figures given below are
quoted from the Cassia County Cour-
ier. We presume the address was
the same here as at Burley
HE made the statement that if
every acre of irrigated land between
Payette and the Utah state line pro-
duced five tons of alfalfa and all was
applied on the cost of the state gov
ernment for one year in Idaho, it
would be insufficient; that it would
take all the cattle. all the hogs, all
the sheep. and part of the horses
raised in Idaho to pay the cost for
one year The yearly
cost of the state government in 1920
was $24,571,sse, or $2OSS44 per
day.
referring to the cost of govern
ment in Cassia county the speaker
stated that it cost, per capita, s4s.-
Sc; this with a population of 15.-
$50 as given by the last census. The
county paid to the state s96.793 and
in return s141,OS1 The

SIM MONS STORE
ROBBED

Burglars entered Simmons store
last Sunday night and carried off
hundred dollars worth of mer-
chandise. s4 in cash, and s244 in
merchandise chips. The thieves
broke in through the rear door 1t
will be remembered that Sunday
night was very stormy. and that the
electric power was off. The eombi-
nation of stormy weather and dark
gave the robbers the chance they
had been looking for
No arrests have been made SO fas'
although there are clews witch N='
cal Sherlock Holmes are working on.
Men were seen near the store late
Sunday night One man who APP
preached the store on the sidewalk
saw bunch of uspicious-looking
fellows blocking his wayne dec;-
ded to cross to the other side of the
street. Residents of the neighboi-
hood heard and saw an automobile
in the vicinity about two o'clock
Monday morning. 1t is thought that
the plunder was taken away in the
car.
The merchandise stolen was most
ly sugar-white and brown. This
has led some to believe that the
burglars were moonshiners laying in
a supply OF the raw materials Of
bootleg likker Perhaps the wave
of price-cutting has left some of the
moonshiners without the means Of
replenishing their supplies.
1t is interesting to speculate on
what the burglars intend to do with
the merchandise chips.
Sunday night is getting to be the
popular time for local burglars. On
Christmas night the post Office was
entered. On New Years night Sim
mons store was robbed.

DON'T NEGLECT YOUR WIFE"

Don't Neglect Your Wife" the
Goldwyn picture which will be
shown at the Orpheum Monday and
Tuesday, January and10, is the
first story written directly for the
screen by one of Americas greatest
writer's, Gertrude Atherton. As in
her books, so in this photoplay, Mrs.
Atherton gives us the problems of 4
beautiful, young married woman
who, has been disillusioned in her
husband and has found herself car
ing for a distinguished editor. The
domestic triangle is solved a verv
plausible manner, but with dra-
matte intensity impossible to attain
when the characters involved are
thhe usual fappers one sees too Of
ten on the screen.
After all, the mature woman, with
her ability TO cope with life, is far
more interesting screen subject than
a girl whose sole appeal lies in her
prettiness. But in Mrs. Atherton
story, the wife happents to be the
beautiful Mabel Julienne Scott; the
husband, that excellent actor,
Charles Clary; and the other man,
Lewis S. Stone; all three of whom
give sterling performances which
make the story take on the sem
blance of flesh and blood

Ms Frederick, who has proved
time and again the greatest dramatic
actress the silver sheet has ever
known, has in Salvage" created a
role in which she reaches the apex
of her art. Few who witness the
production on the screen will ever
forget the depth of feeling. the
heart-breaking calm, she displays In
those scenes where she learns of
her husbands desecration of moth
erhood; the yearning which prompts
her to mother and love every stray
waif. or the beauty of spirit and the
bigness of heart which permits her
forgiveness of the man who has been
the cause of her llfe's tragedy.
The story of Salvage" was writ
ten and adapted to the screen by
Daniel f. Whitcomb, well known
photoplay writer, who founded the
characters and situations from Incl
dents which came under his notice
during his career as newspaper man
in New York City. In the screen

Made Seafarers LAUGH.

Scientists Of Massachusetts believe
that If. the expedition into western
Patagonia results in the discovery Of
a plesfosaurus it will clear up the
identity Of a submarine creature, with
n periscope neck reaching far above
the water, which was found dead in
Mill creek. near Hyannis, in the sum-
mer Of 1897.
Cape Cod folks who saw the strange
"sea giraffe" in the creek believe 1t
was young plesiosaurus which be-
came frozen i'll polar ice ut some re-
mote period, drifted down the coast
in an iceberg and finally brought vgg 3u gp0H
Mill creek.
The bones of the supposed sea SER
pent were taken to the United States
fisheries station at Woods Hole. Later
Cape Cod inquirers were told that the
creature was Some kind Of a shark.

Arriving at Moose Factory, he was
surprised at the stories he heard.
Every hunter and every trapper from

The natives were dying by hundreds,
literally starving to death. 1t was
case of the survival Of the tittcst.
Should a man turn his back upon even
his best friend for moment, he was
apt to be killed. Cannibalism was rife.
Skinner saw many gruesome sights
as he pushed on from Moose Factory
to Rupert's, the last outpost. At one
time he sat down to eat beside
French trapper who arrived ut Ru-
pert's. He noticed that the man
watched him with strange light in
his eyes. He left the table, but on
looking back, found the mans eyes
were still fastened upon him.
"What ails that fellow?" he in
quired Of an Indian.
"He eat human flesh once Of cousin

Skinner was mighty glad that he
had not encountered the craZed
