 WILL VISIT HERE
Stockholm Chorus Tours U. 5,
 Under Patronage Of Prince

What according to Rev. Dr, A. A. Ahluuist will be tho biggest thing in musical circles the city has seen for il long time, will take place here vhcn 50 young men from the uni ,.rsity of Stockholm, Sweden will give concert under the combined auspices Of the Wennerberg chorus md the Arpi soNtette.
 Dr. Alhquist says the Stockholm singers can compare only 10 the singers from the Lund university Nho were here 10 years ago, when hundreds stood outside of the audi forum where they sang, unable 10 Gpl in.
 They wiH be in New Britain July i. and will sing al the Palace theatre. According 10 nr, Ahquist Sweden has for generations been renowned for it's male choirs, particularly those connected with the different univcr- sitios in Stockholm. Gothenburg Up sala and Lund. The latter two have on many occasions carried Swedish NhlSS lar pu sue llt bpl uli S Oi their country and in 1904 the Choir of the University of Lund made a concert tour in this country, which opened he eyes of the American public 10 the wonderful store of music possessed by this country Of the far North, and to the ability of it's singers to deliver this music The soleist at that time was 8 remark able baritone, John Forsell, who later made such name for himself at the Metropolitan Opera Co. and is now the head of the Royal Opera in Stockholm.
 The present chorus is the youngest of the university organizations, founded in 1905 by Carl Gentzel and had for a period as it's leader John Ortcngren, formerly a leading vocal instructor and choir director of Chi Cago. and who accompanies the chorus on it's American tour. The present leader is Elinar Ralf a musical director of Stockholm, who has for eight years led the Stock holm university chorus to ever in- rreasng fame so that it is now said 10 have reached the highest point h iis development. The voices are per- fccty balanced and especially the first tenors are said to be Of unusu- ally sweet timbre.

NARCOTIC AGENT
 IS UNDER ARREST
Held in Vermont After Shooting
 Fleeing Prisoner

Boston, June 2, (AP)-The Bos- ton Herald today says that Edward Murts of Boston, a |. S. narcotic agent, was arrested yesterday in Is- land Pond. Nt., charged with man slaughter in connection with the death of Anton Bilodeau of Sher- brooke, Quebec. Bilodeau was shot down in an attempt to escape fed eral agents who seized his car con taining s5.0OO worth of drugs on the Canaan-Quebec highway, near the Canadian line, last Saturday.

 The Herald says that State Attor- ney Cameron has brought the man slaughter charge on behalf of the state of Vermont and will bring the case to trial in the state courts, al though U. S. Attorney Howard Amey is his law partner. The story says that a peculiar condition exists ow- ing 10 the question Of whether the shooting occurred in New Hampshire or Vermont.

NEW COMMISSIONER

Sam Allard completed his term as
county commissioner on Monday and
on the following morning turned the
office over to Robert Prior of Ben
ton City who was elected last No
vember. Mr. Allard left the Office
with the county free of all warrant
indebtedness and on a cash basis,
and turned over to Mr.. Prior little
over $4,000 of unexpended district
road funds left over from last year.
This is some record and it is doubt
full if it has ever been equaled in the
history Of the county. If DR.. Prior
can show as clean a sheet at the
end of his term he will not have done
SO bad. Making economy their watch
word, the old board avoided bond
issues wherever possible and gradu-
ally built the finances of the county
up to cash basis and today it ranks
among the highest in the state in
financial standing. Let's hope that it
can be kept there.
On Tuesday noon, Mr.. Allard, ac-
companied by his son, Henry, left
for Portland, where he will undergo
an operation and medical treatment
for an ailment that has been troubl-
ing him for years.

RABBIT DRIVE SUNDAY

The rabbits have been unusually
numerous this winter and when
there is snow on the ground they
attack the young trees and other
plants in search of food. Some
damage along this line has already
been reported. In order to mini
mize the possibility of this damage
big rabbit drive has been planned
for Sunday. Contributions from
the business houses were solici ted
this week and a respectable sum
was collected This fund is to be
applied against the cost of the am.
munition, reducing the price at tire
lumber yard to 70 cents box for
the shells.
The drive will start near town
and finish at Chambers bar on the
river north Of town. Those taking
part are urged to be at the lumber
yard at IL o'clock sharp SO that
there will be no delay in organizing
the crowd and forming the line.
Invitations have heen sent to the
gun clubs both in Yakima and Ell
lensburg and in long distance tel
ephone message from Yakima to
VIM. Van Hoy on Thursday. the
gun club there said they thought
they could get quite a crowd to
come.

AIR MAIL SERVICE FROM
PASCO TO ELK0, NEv.

The establishment of an air mail
service between Pasco and Elko,
Nevada, now lacks only appropriat-
ions by Congress to make it reality.
The proposition has received the full
approval of the post-office department.
The air mail service is here to stay"
says Col. Paul Henderson, second
assistant postmaster general. "A bill
is now before Congress to declare
the service permanent part of the
Postoffice Department. AS sooa as
legal authority is given US new coast
lines will be instituted"
The main line of the already es-
tablished air mail line from Coast to
Coast passes through Elko and this
is the nearest point to Pasco where
stops are made. Pasco is located
about an equal distance between Port
land, Seattle and Spokane and be-
cause of its excellent train service,
makes an ideal location for this new
air line. The mail received over the
air line for the coast cities and in
terror points would be dispatched by
train upon its arrival for distribution
at its destination the next morning.
A 48 hour schedule from New
York to San Francisco is now being
maintained and with feeder lines that
will undoubtedly be installed from
time to time the air mail service will
be very much expediatcd.
Several Coast aviators are already
said to be makin- inquiries about
bidding for the contract to carry the
mail between Pasco and Elko.

REMEMBER THE BIRDS

Remember the birdsi Also remem-
ber that the same howfing wind that
cause you to turn up your coat collar
makes it practically impossible at
this time Of the year for these feath-
cred friends to obtain much food.
Ground that is frozen and barren,
shrubbery that is bare of berries, and
bird baths and pools that are now
firm ice offer little in the way of food
or drink for these associates who
help save our crops and our grain
and spread their songs so cheerfully.
Why not scatter few bread crumbs
in some sheltered spot in the yard7
Why not set out pan of water now
and then? An apple or a piece of suet
tied to shrub would be welcome
You will feel amply repaid when you
see these little fellows feast on your
rcfresh1nent. Remember the birdsl

pIoHEER DANCE

Well, they've done it. Brisco-Beldin
ct al, after careful deliberation, have
concocted the "Pioneer" ball. No, it
is not masquerade; but they want
as many as can to come dressed in
costumes in keeping with the pioneer
days. There will be Indians and cow
boys, prospectors and guides, tender
feet-and probably a train robber or
two, guns and all. And for the girls,
well you just leave it to them to fig
ure out their pioneer costumes.
They'll know. The gathering of these
wild birds will be at Grange hall on
Saturday night this week. The music,
the sponsors say, will be the best in
the valley and the only modern thing
about the dance. And they promise
great things for the supper. Some
thing new, something old, but highly
appetizing and real treat. The ad-
mission is SLIGO for the dance and
supper and rs cents for spectators.

PROJECT NOW Open TO
CIVILIAN SETTLEMENT

The expected announcement made
by the state throwing the land settle
ment project in this valley open to
civilian settlement was given to the
daily papers of the state last Sunday
The announcement was given out by
Director D. A. Scott of the Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment, following the filing of formal
request by the state organizations of
the American Legion that such action
be taken.
The land settlement committee of
the Legion and other state officials Of
that organization felt that they could
not reasonably expect the state to
continue any longer the limiting Of
the settlement to only ex-service men
and that in justice to the state, the
community in which the project is
located and the project itself, it
should be settled as speedily as pos
sible. Legion officials, however, want
it understood that they are just as
keenly interested in the project as
ever and stand ready at all times to
do what they can to make it a sue
cess.
Under the new arrangement due re-
spect will be given TO the provision
of the law that applicants who served
in any war on behalf of the United
States shall be given preferential
rights. This is construed TO mean, Di-
rector Scott says, that where two ap-
plicants, one civilian and the other
a former soldier, all other qualifica-
tions being equal, apply for a unit,
the former soldier shall be given the
preference.
Since the publication few weeks
ago of runor that the state was
contemplating opening the project to
civilian settlement, hundreds of in
quiries have been received at the
Legion headquarters and the state de-
partment from prospective settlers
and it is believed that the 80 unset
tied tracts will soon be taken if a
little effort is made to bring about
this result.
Two tracts have so far been taken
by civilians, one of them by w. T.
Morford whose two sons, Wilbur
and Heber, have tracts.

OLD FRIENDS

Folks are inclined to become at

For Your Amusement


William A. Brady's much talked of
play, "a Good Bad Woman" by Will
liam j. McNally, is now in it's fifth
big week at the Playhouse, New York
owing largely to the remarkable act
ing of the 19-year-old wonder, Jo-
sephine Evans, whose emotional work
as good bad girl is one of the sur.
prises of the season. Miss Evans has
succeeded to the part of Mary Ferris,
originally played by Helen MacKel
lar last February, when the play was
temporarily withdrawn after run of
two weeks.
Miss Evans has expressed surprise
that so experienced an actress as
Miss MacKellar should have objected
to playing the role.
For me the portrayal of this part
has been thrill upon thrill" she de-
clared last week when seen between
the acts.

really don't think anybody is of much
use until they. have come in contact
with or have experienced some of the
realities of life. For me one of the
most Illuminating experiences is to
learn how much real honest heart
goodness there is in many women
who, through weakness or force OF
circumstance, have taken steps con-
sidered by many as irrevocable.
You will please note that in my
