SENIOR PLAY
One of the Largest Crowds in History
of High School Attends Senior
Class Play.

Last Friday evening the Lamar
high school auditorium proved entire
ly inadequate to hold the crowd which
turned out to see the play given by
the Senior Class of the school. Not
only were all the seats sold but chairs
we're placed in all possible places and
taken and even the S. X. o. sign had
to be finally taken down as there was
room for no more. The play given by
the class was "The Time of His Life"
and the crowd thoroughly enjoyed the
occasion as the young people put the
life and action into the performance
that brings the real fun out of such
situations. All the members of the
cast did well and deserve high credit
for the work Considerable time was
needed between acts to prepare the
stage, and these were filled with spec
ial numbers by members of the class.
The cast of characters was as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Bob Grey, Ernest Tuttle.
Mrs. Bob Grey, Josephine Eddy.
Tom Carter, Mrs. Grey's Brother,
Frank Mckinney.
Mrs. Peter Wycombe, a Parsonage,
Virginia Snider.
Mr.. Peter WycOmbe, a pessimist
with a digestion, Alden Pollard
Dorothy Landon, Secretely engaged
to Tom Carter, Lucille Kelsey
Mr.. James Landon, Sr., Dorothy's
Father, of a Peppery Disposition, Paul
Pierson.
Uncle Tom, an old colored butler
from the south, Raymond Bair.
Officer Hogan, of the Twenty-sec-
ond street Police Station, Dwight Bru-
ner.
Director, Miss J. A. Johnson.
Business Manager, Vella Hall.
Encouraged by the wonderful sue
cess of the Junior and Senior classes
with their plays the faculty decided to
put on a play of their own and on
Friday night of this week, May IL,
will give the "Beantown Choir" which
promises to be one of the best shows
ever given in the city.
Special posters we're prepared for
this big event by the art students in
the various schools and prizes given
for the best effort in each school
Rawly Henkins won first prize in the
high school, Pauline Sayler in the
junior high, Betty ober in the Lincoln,
and Martha Bynum in the Pioneer.

A Real Noise.

The big cement block on Flagstaff
Hill was blown up about o'clock on
Monday morning and many OF our
people have been wondering why they
did not hear the explosion, but the eX-
planation is simple. The new coat OF
paint had just been put on the ne"
sas station block north, and it was
SO loud that nothing else could be
heard in the business section of the
city. 1t is a real scream.

Hon. NJ. G. Hodnette, the life in
surance man, was a Lamar visitor
last week. He feels he has a sure
thing on the U. S. Senatorship be-
cause he says he is the only democrat
in the state who has not been mention
ed for the appointment and therefore
he thinks he must be the dark horse

MONDAYS SCHOOL ELECTION
Year by Year, We Muchly Fear. 1t
Gets More and More Queer.

Last week in an article on the ap-
preaching school election The Register
after stating that there was only one
ticket in the field, said in the words
of Ma Pettingill's Chinese cook that
anything can happen'-and it did.
The polls were open at Z o'clock in the
morning and the Judges of election
had absolutely nothing to do all day
long for at 5:40 in the evening only
AS votes had been cast and they were
scattered throughout the day. The
polls closed at o'clock in the evening
with l49 votes cast or 10l in the last
hour and twenty minutes. The scenes
around the polling place at the Cen
tral school building during that clos
ing hour we're lively in the extreme
with voters coming in on foot and in
autos. The fight was over almost be
fore it was fairly under way, but the
smoke screen remained heavy over
Main street for several hours after
wards and has not entirely cleared up
yet.
There was only one ticket nominat-
ed and that was Alfred Todd for the
full term and c. A. Coker for the va
cancy term of two years caused by the
resignation of Postmaster l.. NJ. Mark
ham. However, it was demonstrated
two years ago that an uncontested
nomination does not mean an election,
and this was again demonstrated when
the vote was counted at o'clock Mon
day night as Mr.. Todd had 81 votes
and DR.. w. o. Shelter a. The cleo
ton of Mr.. Coker was not contested.
There was much bitter talk after
the election OF the unfairness of run
ming in votes at the last hour, but it
has already been done here number
of times in the past, and-we have
noticed generally that the people who
say it is unfair when it goes against
them usually consider it all right when
the results favors their idea. AT least
voters who sign a petition for the
nomination of IA candidate and then
fail TO take the trouble to walk a
couple of blocks to vote for his cleo
tion have no kick coming. Our govern
ment is founded on the idea that all
citizens should have an equal chance
to express his or her opinion at the
polls and have that opinion counted,
and any citizens who fails to express
that opinion has no excuse to com
plain of what may or may not hap
pen. Citizens, who won't vote except
when they have special interest at
stake, should not complain Of the re-
suit.
The board will meet soon to elect
officers for the ensuing two years. The
election will make no change in the
schools as the corps of teachers for
the next year has already been ap-
pointed and there will only be vacan-
cies arising later to fill. DIR. Shelter
was in no sense of the word a candi-
date for the position, having declined
a proposed nomination, and took no
part in the contest. 1t is chained that
he will not qualify, but we have no
definite information as to that

ALASKA ROAD COMMISSION
 DOES COMMENDABIE WORK

The Nugget representative r,ade a trip over the railroad which .s being rehabilitated by the Alaska Road Commission. and found that much work had been done toward the completion of the road. The trip was made with Superintendent R. l.. Sommers who has a motor car which operates over the rails.
 The track is in fine condition from Banner Station 10 Darling Creek. distance of approximately 25 miles. bridges along the line haye been placed in repair and deck tuilt over the ties which will make it possible for a Dog-Mcb:'e to cross these bridges at top speed. A saddle horse could be ridden along the track with the same ease that a wagon road would afford. A sreed of 20 miles per hcir can he n aintained ove- 'h' track which has been retired w,.ho'!t the lea': danger or Car uttohiiiS uei"'i'"'
 The bridge across Nome river has been placed in repair temporarily SD Dog-Mobiles and other traffic can cross for the time being. The pile driver is on the job at that location and began driving piles yesterday. This bridge will be placed in better condition than ever before
 There has been great amount of work necessary to place the road in the condition that now exists. any one passing over the road hurriedlv would never notice the amount of work that was necessary. but when one stops and looks over the differ ent places that has been repaired. and realizes the amount of work that had to be done in order to make all the fills where the track was washed out and the timber work that had to be added to the bridges, it is hard to realize that such small number of men. as Supt. Sommers was able to hire, could do this amount of work in the time they have.
 The different camps along the line are well situated. and the men all seem to be well pleased with their work. One camp which is located near Darling Creek and the place where the Nugget representative and Supt. Sommers had dinner, has besides some real railroad builders. an assortment of fishermen that would be hard to equal. One of the boys who is an old timer in the Kougarok district held the record for catching the larger amount of fish for quite while. but at last one of the boys hit upon a scheme whereby the old timer was sent down to defeat. and now it is the talk of the camp about Mikes de- feat at the hands of Bill and his pal
 Supt. Sommers is to be commend ed for the expedite manner in which the work on the railroad has went ahead this summer
 Before any work what yer could be done toward the rehabilitating of the railroad. it was necessary to get material to the different loca- tiOns, and before this was done many small details which used up time had to be looked after. When

UNWISE TO ADVISE A
BUYERS STRIKE

The Saturday Evening Post is q
periodical with a circulation of
more than two million. To belittle
its influence would be foolish. 1t
has five million readers, probably,
and of these perhaps a million are
heads of families who thoughtfully
consider what contributors to its
columns have to say upon economic
subjects. And the Saturday Evening
Post could be in better business at
this juncture than 1t is when it ad-
vises a 'rbuyers' strike" The first
and only buyers strike" this coun-
try ever experienced may have been
to an extent justified, although
even that is not certain: a buyers
strike" now would be unjustifiable,
and it would prove disastrous. Vir-
tually every household in the coun-
try would be adversely affected.
The manufacturer is not the only
n interested in keeping his fac
tories going. The corner grocer is
interested; the farmer who must
find for his produce is
interested. The doctor is interested,
the mechanic and the day laborer
are interested, for we are a people
Of interlocking interests.
Commerce is not stimulated by
applying an anaesthetic; trade does
not thrive upon strangulation.
The Tribune and all other pub
locations should advise expenditures
without extravagancei the leg;ti-
mate exchange of earned money for
