It was decided to arrange immedi-
ately for the finIncial campaign that
would guarantee the erection of a
modern grandstand to seat $500 per-
sons for the 1928 fair. 1t is believed
that 1t will not require more than
100000 to build a stand of this ca
paeity. The board of managers will
arrange the details
It was brought out at the meeting
today that the fair. association, under
the efficient mana cement last season
had $500 in the treasury with which
to enter the operation of the 1922 ex-
position. Also that the association is
clear of ali Indebtedness and $4,000
has been spent on permanent i'm
provements in the last year.

Lake county. A small school dis
trict in this county with as much rail-
road mileage as Montpelier, has as
high taxing limit as Montpelier,
Notwithstanding the valuable rain
road facilities within the Montpelier
independent school district and the
fact that our school population is
ten times as great.
Men who have studied the tax fea-
ture say that it would not increase
local taxes to levy for school purpos-
es in the state, but that the big cor
porations in the northern and sparse
ly settled portions Of the state, who
do not contribute in the way of taxes
to the educating of the children, are
the ones who would make up the de-
ficiency in the school funds of the
various districts in the state. s And
it seems reasonable that they should
help maintain tho educational sys-
tenn of the state wherein they OPP
crate
Until these problems are given at
tention by the legislature many
school districts in the state of Idaho
will have hard rowing TO expand the
system as conditions warrant.

SCHOOL BUILDING
SITUATION

1t appears that the state legisla-
ture will have to come to the assis-
lance of Montpelier in solving its
school building problems as they APP
pear at the present time. Bonding ex-
perts tell us that we are bonded to
within $4,000 of our limit, which
makes the dream of fine new high
school fade away, almost out of
sight.
school fade aay, almost out of sight
1t is within the power of the legis-
lature to enact laws that will over
come this situation There are var
ious ways in which new legislation
would make it possible for Mont
pelier to have the needed facilities
for educating the children: One is
to levy state school tax. The other
Is to change the valuation plan as
applied to railroads. Instead or
placing total valuation on all rail
road holdings and prorating It ac-
cording to mileage, as at present,
and giving the communities wherein
are located shops, roundhouses and
extra equipment the benefit of the
assessment of such property, it would
mean much to Montpelier, and would
probably solve our school problems.
For example: Pocatello with
railroad facilities running into hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, re-
ceives no more benefit in point of
taxes, than does Power county, where
there Is nothing more than straight
mileage, unless the trackage within
Pocatsllo or Bannock county exceeds
tho mileage within Power county.

LAUGHTER REIGNs
IN OLD FARCE

BY L. L. Clemens of Tacoma Ledger
Laughter held high court at the
Tacoma Theatre last evening and the
packed house passed the verdict of
approval upon the farce comedy Of
fering, Are You a Mason?" The
members of the local organization of
Tabocat Grotto, under whose aus
pices the performance was arranged
were out in full force as was evidenc-
ed by the liberal sprinkling of fezzes
over the auditorium.
Leo Deitrichstein's farce-comedy
of a quarter of century ago is just
as funny today as it was then, and
although quite few of the lines
were changed to meet the popular
topics of the day, the rich comedy
and ludicrous situations were the
same.
From the rise of the first curtain
when the audience sat in a defiant
II dare you," mood, until the curtain
dropped upon the third act, the inter
est grew and the hilarity increased
until almost a continuous laugh
greeted the actors in the final cpl
sodes.
But two musical numbers are in
troduced but why spoil good farce
with song numbers? As it was, the
story ran smoothly and was only IN
terrupted by the hearty outbursts of
merriment.
Charles Caulkins and Billy Evans
as brother Masons," and Orrrn
Brandon as the prospective candi-
date, were immense. Katherine
Angus as the suspicious mother-in
law, could not have been better, and
Estelle Warfield, Catherine Mae and
Claire Morrow as the daughters fill
ed every requirement. 2. Mac Der
mid as "legit'" thespian was a
scream in part that was all too
short. Frank Stevens did a Char
ley's Aunt" stunt that was appre-
ciated. The other parts were in ca
|pable hands.
As a revival of an old-time stage
success the farce-comedy was the best
argument for the revival of other
plays Of days gone by, in comparison
with some of the new comedy dished
up in the past few years. There is
something solid in Are You Mas
on?" The company's engagement
concludes with the performance to-
night.

ADVERTTsING RATES ON APPLICATION
ARE WE GOING
AFTER OUR DUES?

In the state treasury over in Boise
there is, or will be in the very near
future, available for Bear Lake coun-
vt, $4,000 for road building pur-
poses. To get this money Bear Lake
county must match the same two to
one, making a total of $4,000 to
spend on highways in this county.
Without putting up $4,000 against
this money of the state, the state
money will be lost to Bear Lake.
This situation occurred about two
years ago, when we had a credit of
some $4,000 but because of the in
ability of the county to match the
money at that time, or through some
other difficulty, the money was di-
verified into other channels by the
state road commission.
Bear Lake county cannot afford
to contribute to road building in a
distant county, which will surely oc-
cur again unless steps are taken soon
to devise means for matching the
state money. An election to vote on
road bonds in sum sufficient to
match the available state money has
been suggested, and will probably
receive the endorsement of the coun.
ty commissioners. We can well af.
ford to bond for this amount, es.
pecially in view of the fact that there
is a probability Of the federal gov
eminent matching the appropria.
tions of both the county and state
II such is the case, it will mean thai
for every Bear Lake county dollar
expended in road construction We
will get three dollars in value.
It is high time to think of these
matters. It will require consider
able time to put over an election ant
other necessary items.

dual role of Jack Minton, Montford's
ward, and afterward Percy Plantaga-
net, the vaudeville actor, was a piece
of highly creditable impersonation R
E. Paine, in the part of Ikey, the
Jew, "der most honest man." was a
scream from start to finish, both in
laughs and actions. Alvin E. Peter
sen as Hawkins, and Katie Nielsen
as Hannah, the servant girl, were
both creditable in their minor roles.
Bella, Jacks sister, and afterwards
Mrs Van Dorm, as acted by Jennie
Pinckney, is an emotional part, call
ing for considerable dramatic abi1i-
Nty. And she was at her best Fri
day night.
1t is rare that an amateur makes a
stronger appeal to her audience than
she did in her part. De Nina Hayes,
as Lizzie, Jacks wife, popular &C
tress, was popular with her audience,
and acted the part of a twentieth
century woman" to perfection. Then
Louise Petersen, as Mrs. Dibble, po-
sitively positive widow, was right
at home in her part, and did some
good acting.
The characters were all good, SO
much so, that there is little room
for improvement The players arc
indebted to Mr.. N r. Larsen for his
construction OF the new scenery
which had such strong influence
on the actors.
The orchestra, composed of Joseph
Bee, Bonnie Munk, Thornton Young
William Johnson and Alma Nelson
played some appropriate selections
The male quartette was a valuable
assistant in the third act, and theil
numbers were highly appreciated.

GEORGETOWN DRAMATIC CLUB

GEORGEIOWN DRAMATIC CLUB
PRESENTS 1.-THE IRON HAND"
Last Friday evening, January 20,
the Georgetown Dramatic Club un-
der the direction Of Edwin E. Pinck-
ney, presented the four act drama,
Tho Iron Hand" in the Georgetown
hall, to a crowded house. The play
lis one of those short snappy lined
plots which requires lot of study for
the characters to properly interpret
their parts. 1.-THE Iron Hand" be-
longs to that class of plays that are
clean, elevating, and exciting, filled
with quick, snappy action, thrilling
situations, and containing much
bright comedy. The story of the
play is simple, plain and easily un-
derstood, and yet wonderfully inter
esting, for it riyets the attention of
the audience from the rise of the
first curtain until its final fall. The
action goes forward with a torrent
Ike rush and the denouement is un-
forseen until, with a few graphic
touches, 1t is cleverly brought about
in the last act. The casting of the
play was a fortunate one, for each
character seemed to fit his part adj
mirably. And with the careful stag
ing and Interpretation the presenta-
ton was highly creditable, not only
to the players themselves, but to the
community in general. For it is
rare occasion indeed, that a number
OF amateurs are able to stage a play
with the same degree of success, and
to meet with the ready, magnetic in
spiration from their audience.
To pick the stars would be to
slight those who carried the lighter
roles. True, some parts were heaVi-
er than others and required more
action, but there were no .tfiller"
parts. Each one had his part to play
and played it we'll. The part of
Oliver Montford, who knew neither
fear nor pity, the cold, hard, fearless,
yet polished william, as played by
Ernest Hoff, left nothing to be de-
sired in that line. In fact the part
was played so well that had his audi
ence not known him for a kindly,
progressive, upright citizen they
would easily have taken him for a
professional crook. The wealthy
young artist, Harmon Van Dorm,
melancholy and suspicious, very
much in love with his wife, was in
terpreted very artistically by Alma
Nielsen. Edwin 3 Pinckney in the

GEORGE FLANDERS SPENDS
CHILLY NIGHT IN OPEN.

George Flanders, Of Middle Creek,
met with what might well have been
a serious accident last week, and as
a result spent a night pinned be-
meath a tree in Middle Greek can
yon. Flanders was riding down the
canyon in the late evening when his
horse suddenly slipped and in falling
got wedged beneath a fallen tree,
pinning the rider beneath him. All
night Flanders tried in vain to ex-
tricate himself. Fortunately it was
not cold, and as the stirrup in a
measure protected his leg, Flanders
did not suffer anything aside from
being in an inconvenient position.
When daylight came and he couic
e what he was doing, Flanders was
enabled to throw his throw-rope ovel
a stump and with this aid pull him
self from under his fallen steed
Once on his feet it was no great tasl
to get the horse from under the tree
and save for the night spent in tn
open in a somewhat tedious situation
neither man nor horse r the wOrs
for their accident.

Considerable interest has been man
Tested in the question of where and
how the disabled veterans who are
being trained by the U. S. Veterans
bureau would find places in the world
of industry and business. Recent re-
ports to G. D. Hibbard, manager Dis
trict No. 10, which embraces the
states of Minnesota, North and South
Dakota and Montana answer this
question in a way that should be very
gratifying to all who have the well
fare Of the disabled men at heart.
These reports cover the ISL of COL
men who have been rehabilitated. 1t
was found that 342 men, or 81 per
cent Of the entire number, wer alb
sorbed by the shop or institution in
which they had received their train
ing. That speaks volumes for the
confidence these firms have in the
skill and personal worth of those
trained. They were SO satisfied
with them that they would not let
them go, but instead placed them
upon their own payrolls.
Ninety-eight, lor Is per cent, have
gone into business for themselves.
One hundred and ten, or 18 pei
cent, have been placed in employment
with concerns other than those with
which they received their training,
Fifty-one, or 8 per cent, r await
ing employment.
1t should be remembered in read
ing the above figures that many Of
these men were trained in schools
which, of course, had no o%pportuni
~ for placing these men upon theiI
payroll after they were trained. II
view Of this fact, it is remarkable
