MUTUAL CONSOLIDATION
The absorption of the South Ala
mo Water Company was completed
on January Is, making total of
eleven Mutual Water Companies in
operation by the District, leaving
two remaining companies to be alb
sorbed.
The perfecting of the organiza-
ton and general consolidation can
not be completed until the final ar
rangements of the absorption pro-
gram, and as the final report of the
board of appraisers has been filed
the remaining details of absorption
should be rapidly concluded.
WATER DISTRIBUTION
The gross deliveries of water for
the month were 1874, 1882 acre feet, as
compared with 42,58S acre feet for
the same month in 1922, showing
an increase of 1882 per cent.
The deliveries to ranchers for the
month show an increase OF 1904
acre feet, or 1906 per cent; and an
increase in revenue of $33,073 or
.l3.3 per cent, as compared with
Chilled to l. w. Cos. ~ for the same
period in 1922.
The deliveries in Mexico show an
Increase for this month of 1868
acre feet, or 1888 per cent and a
revenue increase of 1898, or 1913
Per cent, as compared with the
same month in 1929.
The total deliveries for the entire

during the month of January, 1928
was $53,03S.
A large proportion of the differ
cnce between the amounts delivered
to ranchers in 1928 in acre feet and
money is accounted for by the fact
that Imperial Water Company No. 9

 The Universal Special attraction, ssThe Millionaire" brought Herbert Rawlinson to the screen of the Palace Theater last nifht in a stellar per formance quite above ordinary stand ards of acting-and the histrionie quality of the entertainment is well seconded by a gripping tale of wealth, Hove and mystery, embodying a whole flock of new twists and unexpected angles, written by Hubert Footner and scenarized by Wallace Clifton.

SECOND PERFORMANCE
 OF COMIC OPERA GOES
 OVER WITH VIM; DASH

The second performance of "The Garden of the Shah, given by the American Legion at the Coliseum Theater last night. went over with finish before an audience larger than on the first night and which was equally as responsive The princi- pals repeated their individual song hits. The pretty girls of the chorus in their Persian costumes pleased the eye and the chorus of men delighted by their ensemble singing. The little tots in the dancing and also singing acts earned well merited encores. William Bigoff scored again with his Russian Cossack dance.
 It was noticeable that many in the audience last night were also first nighters.
 "The Garden of the Shah" will go down in the annals of musical cir cles and also amusement circles as being the most elaborate and well rendered comic opera presented in Juneau The American Legion spared no expense in putting the production on in real theatrical fashion with all settings, and it will be long remem- bered as splendid from a dramatic and musical standpoint.

TOM MIx'S HORSE TO POSE FOR STATUE

To most people, a horse is just q horse-four legs, one at each corner, with a head on one end and a tail on the other-as the sehoolboy compost. tion had it.
 1t is therefore of more than pass ing interest to note that one horse, of all the horses in the country, car ries such an unusual personality that plans are well under way to erect a monument to him, typifying the spirit of the West.
 And so it is with Irony" the prized horse of Tom Mix, the Fox star, who is coming to the Palace Theater on Sunday matinee in the Mix Brand story, "Trailin' The in- telligence of this animal, Tony's loy- alty to his "boss." and his willing ness to respond to any demand made upon him, no matter how perilous, have gone far toward preserving the life of Tom Mix in making many of his great pictures that have set | new standard for young American manhood.
 And because Tony is all that the West expects in as horse-and that means everything-the real men of the West have planned to erect Il fine statue to the Western horse, using Tony as the model.

RED CROSS RUNNACE
SALE WAS SUCCESSFUL

Officers of the Red Cross announce
that the rummage sale, hold last Sat
urday at the Southside school, was a
complete success Thirty dollars was
realized, and this will be used to
help defray the expenses of Jose
Oleaga, the crippled Mexican boy,
who was sent from here to the Nc
Lain Sanatorium at st. Louis for
treatment
In addition to helping Jose Oleaga
the Red Cross was able to aid the
Mexicans by giving them warm clothes
for very small sum of money. Of
ficers of the local chapter hope to
make the rummage sale an annual
affair and in this way help those in
need.
Three motor car loads of clothing
were given in the drive few weeks
ago, and all this was disposed of last
Saturday
The money which. the Red Cross
realizes from its various activities
and functions in Winslow, is spent
here to help those in need, and is
not being sent away. Every dollar
that the organization receives goes
for a worthy cause.
Officers of the local chapter thank
the people of Winslow for the clothes
contributed in the drive and for their
support in making the sale success.
