HER CAREER HAS BEEN
"A DAZZLING ONE

; Children of the Ghetto" In 1900
she made her first appearance
under the management of David
Belasco, playing Cho-Cho-San in
Madame Butterfly" The next
year saw her as Cigarette in
Under Two Flags"
In 1902 she created the role of
Yo-San in 1.-THE Darling of the
Gods" remaining in the same role
for two years. Three years later,
1905, Miss Bates scored what is
still regarded today as one of the
most sensational triumphs ever
recorded by an American actress
when she appeared as the girl in
THE Girl of the Golden West"
The years as they passed treated
Miss Bates with greatest chivalry
and season after season on Broad
way saw her, the star of one
production after another. Not to
appear to slight her many note
worthy achievements but merely
ito pass. the years by as lightly as
they have passed her, present
day theater goers arel still prone
to talk in hyperbole of Miss Bates
in 1.-The FAMOUS Mrs. Fair" and
now, so rumor hath it, she has
a role that bids fair tosexcel or at
least equal anything she has ever
done before.
AS was said before, It is a large
order but at least those who may
be inclined to doubt know that

Miss Bates will not be found want

Some of us will continue to
wonder why this, master crafts
man will chance debasing a
repute won on such productions
as "The Darling of the Gods"
"The Girl of the Golden West"
"P9ter Grimm" and 1.-THE Easiest

waning days, such palpable
brides to the lowest in public

"Ladies of the Evening"

not more than two could be

much of a go of things, gener-

here), "A Steam Roller" and
'"The Magnolia Lady,"
Attractions believed to have

Joe Brown, of the cavernous
and agile mouth, behind which
his entire visage disappears
when he opens it, was born to
make people laugh, but wouldn't
believe it until he tested out his
abilities as circus acrobat and
as a big league ball player.
Mr.. Brown is just now in our
midst as comedian in "Betty
Lee" at Polls, where patrons
can verify, by one glance, the
story that he retired from the
diamond, covered with glory, re-
sulting' from his hiding a base
ball in his mouth which he spat
out in time to catch the runner
off guard. From that time on
Mr.. Brown was so feared and
hated by rival players that a
move was started to substitute
basketballs for baseballs in all
games in which he played. Moth,

ever, for Brown retired from
the game to go on, the stage.

Yet she is so. outstanding a figure
on the American stage that it is
something of. a pleasure to set
forth q few of the highlights Of
her sparkling career.
The more is it permissible, at
this time, for those who know
Miss Bates the best openly aver
that in her newest play She is
quite likely to eclipse anything
she herself has ever done before.
That is large order as the fol-
lowing amply proves.
Miss Bates made her first APP

All of the work that is being done

when the system is taken over by

that there is now about one foot OF

through the watershed that covers
this section.
While the precipitation has not
been so great as was hoped up to the
present time, the ground on the wa
tershed is in excellent condition,
having been thoroughly soaked and
frozen. This will make big differ
ence during the spring run-off as it
will not permit the melting of the
snow on the bottom and all of the

RUBERRY CONTESTS
TRATHEN'S ELECTION
Contestee Alleges Mis- Count
In Hammett Precinct and
Requests Court To Make
A Correction

An election contest looms in the
near future relative to the race be-
tween Thomas Trathen, present in
cumbent and w. c. Ruberry for the
office of County Assessor of Gilmore
County. At the election held last
month the face of the returns indi-
Gated that Ruberry had defeated
Trathen by seven votes, but when
the County Commissioners made a
canvass of the vote they found an
error on the poll books of the Ham
nett Precinct, wherein Ruberry was
credited with ten more votes than
the tally marks totalled, consequent
ly giving Trathen majority Of
three. County Clerk Hobbs informs
the Republican that certificates of
election have not as yet been issued
by him and that he will act on the
advice of the County Attorney re-
lative to this matter.
Mr. Ruberry evidently is of the
opinion that the original total, as
made by the election clerks is correct
and is asking for a recount on this
ground on Tuesday of this week,
through his attorneys, E. P. Barnes
and Harry Keyser, both of Boise, a
notice of contest was filed in the
office of the County Clerk and as a
basis for his stand in the matter the
contest notice states as follows:
"That upon canvassing the re-
turns as to the votes cast in the pre-
cinct of Hammett in said County,
by the Board of County Commission
ers, it was found that the totals en-
lorsed on the poll lists gave this con-

CITY WATER
SUPPLY IS PURE
Recent Analysis of Local
Water Supply Shows Alb
sence of Previous I'm
purities

An analysis was made last week OF
samples of the Mountain Home muni-
eipal water supply by the State De-
partment of Public Welfare and 1t
was found that the water was prac-
tically pure. This same water sew
eral months ago showed the presence
of organisms of the B. Coli group.
These organisms inhabit the intest-
inal tract of warm blooded animals,
consequently their presence in the
water showed sewerage contamina-
tion or pollution from surface drain
age.
Owing to the colder weather and
the fact that all of the sources of
supply have been thoroughly cleaned
out is thought to be the cause of the
publication. Many local people have
heen boiling their water for the past
several months but this is deemed
unnecessary at the present time.
