CHAPTER XIV
The Investigation Begins

=
Lydia admitted to herself that for
years something within her had been
demanding that she take a stand on
the Indian question, something to
which Charlie Jackson and Billy had
appealed, something which Kent and
John Levine had ignored. Yet neither
Charlie nor Billy had really forced her
to decision.
Bit by bit she went over her think
ing life, beginning with her first recol-
lection of Charlie Jackson in the class
in civil government, and all that was
feminine and blind devotion In her
fought desperately with all that edu-
cation and her civic-minded forefath-
ers had given her.
Coming home from her last recita-
ton, one mild afternoon, she stopped
at the gate and looked up into the pine
tree. And there with the lowing of
the Norton herds and the hoarse call
of the crows mingling with the soft
voice of the pine and the tapping of
the lake, she made her decision. For
clearly as though the pine had put It
into words, something said to Lydia
that it was not her business to decide
whether or not the Indians deserved
to live. 1t was her business to rec
ognize that in their method of kill
ing the Indians, the whites had been
utterly dishonorable. That her refus-
ing to take stand could not exon
crate them. And finally, that by clos
ing her eyes to the facts, because Of
her love for Levine, she was herself
sharing the general faint.

Conflicts Staged Plays

Though the first regular theater
in Sydney, N. s. W., was Levey's
Theater Royal, opened by Barnet
Levey, hotel keeper, back Of his
public house on October 8, 1888, some
performances were given in build
ing erected on Church hill, erected
at cost of $500 as early as 1898
These earlier performances we're
staged by convicts who were wal ned
that any improperly In the snow
would cause them to be banished to
the outlying settlements. That warn
ing apparently was needed, but 1t was
discovered that the homes of people
who went to the theater were persist
emily robbed, probably by other Brit
fish penal exiles In league with the
players, so the theater was closed and
the building RACED shortly thereafter.

Ever since I can remember, cat
birds have haunted our garden. have
observed their coming in the spring,
their counting time and their nesting

Yet the more / observe the catbird,
the more he mystifies and interests
me.
His aspect is ever changing, one mo-

VALLEY CITY'S
GAS PRICE WAR
Is FINISHED
Companies Go Back to Nor
NAL Price Following Three
2.cent Cuts in Month

Valley City's cut price gasoline war
apparently is over. Attorney General
George Shnfer said here today on
his return from the Barnes county
city.
Shafcr went to Valley City to in
vestigatc n charge filed by E. J. Fegg.
operator Of an independent gasoline
filling station, that the Standard Oil
company was violating the state anti
discrimination law. The report, he
said, was unfounded since the 1nde-
pendent companies had cut the price
first.
The price war, he said, had reduced
the price of gasoline to Valley City
motorists to 10 9/lO cents per gallon,
three cuts of two cents each havin0
been made since September Is.
Cause of the War
Shafer's investigation showed that
the "war" originated MS result Of
the Standard Oil company's practice
of giving discount on contracts for
bulk sales. Agents for companies
holding such contracts were given
discounts anywhere in the state.
A Valley City independent dealer
adopted the same practice, allowing "a
two-ccnt discount on sales Of 25 gal
Ions or more and sold books Of tickets
for that price. Other Independents
retailatcd by making q twO-cent flat
cut.
When he left the "war" apparently
was over, Shafer said. The indie
pendent dealers had gone back to the
normal price and the Standard was
to re.establish the normal price at
noon today.

This defy vent forward today
from Postmaster General New follow

Hanging Might Help
Any man participating in such an
attempt, he declared, has murderous
intent and the world is a great deal
better off without him. There is
not another country on the globe
despite talk about lawlessness, thicv-
cry and banditry directed toward
certain Of these countries where such
things are more prevalent than in

other. Wholesale hanging might go

Director Lord Of the budget bureau
that the department would 1request
additional appropriations for more

guards and other equipment.
Mr.. New also suggested that busi-
