The Indian Dance

Tonight if you care to take in something out of the ordinary, go to the Variety Theater and watch the Indians go through some of their dances that were old when gray bearded pioneers were young. A lot of effort has been made to collect scattering old time dance costumes for the occasion and rehearsing has been going on for some time under instructions of those too aged to participate physically, but are we'll enough posted mentally to irstill the spirit of the true wild to younger and more nimble folk. It will be but the matter of a short time when it will be impossible to stage anything like a true Indian dance. There may be fragments of regalia left, and there will be Indians, but the Terpsichorean art will pass with those who even now know only a fraction of the changes, steps and performances of the social assembly of the long ago.

GOOD NEWS FOR YOUNGSTERS

No more of this vile stuff that has been spooned out to kids for To, these many years. No more of this greasy dope that tasted like decay ed fat and smelled like a guann plant. No, kids, it's all done away with in a simple bit of yeast and i: is ten times more potent than the objectionable cod liver oil. Rickety children and those requiring bone building material will soon have an opportunity to feed on a product much more palatable and with more of the Vitamin D in it than the fat that has been squeezed out of the livers of dead codfish The discov. cry came about in the experimental department with electric lights in the laboratory of the General Flee tric Company where it was found that dry yeast exposed to cathode rays became so altered that it. the yeast-became a regular hotbed of Vitamin D.

At each coming Tuesday and Friady night the contest will be carried on in an elimination process.

Meeting W
 The City Fathers

After the usual opening routine the first matter before he Council was the result of inspection of the school house heat and light equip ment The report turned in was tu the effect that the heating plant was working satisfactorily, Recommend ed hat further installation be made in heating system and that more lights be added in basement around the furnace.
 MT McKecknie was called on re- lative to detail work of the light and power since the previous meet ing. The recent break in the main line between the town and Blind Slough, the repair of same and the hardships encountered on account of the heavy snow fall, frozen reaches of water wherever the line crosses and the condition of the line and power plant were given to the Coun- cil in an understandable talk It was quite evident that a deal Of hardship went along with the re- pairing of the line and with the general repair work at the power plant
 At this time a Light and Appli- ance rate, new schedule, was brought before the Council and was taken under consideration On per usual it will be found that the met CT rate is somewhat advanced but lower rate on heaters is evident. The following is approximately what the new schedule proposes: LIGHT and APPLIANCE RATE

 bearing or the auxiliary peltor wheel, payments and so on. The equipment will be ready to shir about the middle of December, but at this time a check for 50 per cent of the contract figure was re- quired by the builders They also requested that they be wired as to just when the check was mailed As there is no opportunity now to make the installation on account of weather conditions and the nature of the ground it was suggested that the builders hold the machinery un- til such time as work might be pushed On the project. Was, also, suggested that the manufacturers hold off on the final installment---- the 25 per cent demanded at time of shipment-until the outfit was actually onboard at Seattle.
 Hogue and Tveten Company ask ed that they be connected up with what is known as the direct line" from the oil engine auxiliary for heat and power. This was the oc- casion for a great deal of backing and filling on the part of the Coun- cil. and it was finally agreed to con- meet to the oil engine line all of the power plants lying in that part of town between the Worth building and the cannery-inclusive the the school house.
 In the matter of the telephone system along the power line and to the power plant, it was recommend ed that a station be placed at the Papke ranch. As this ranch is practically half way between the power plant and the city, it was deemed a necessity in as much that communication could be made to either point without the long trek iron city to Blind Slough when in formation was desired in line re- pair or on other occasions
 Interest payments were authoriz- ed as was also the 50 percent pay ment on the power auxiliary. Claims against the city were gone over and 10. K'd There was some talk on the removal of snow from street and sidewalks. Thought that to make it compulsory it would call for special bill or city ordinance. However, in the argument, 1t came out that the ordinance compelling CD property owners to connect up to the city sewage wasn't scarcely recognized Thought that if pro- perty owners didn't value health and sanitation any more than was evident, it would be useless to or dinance the snow off the sidewalks. (Editors note-Why not ask the town marshal to fill up every Juicy toilet vault''-as Dinner called 'em and make the back number folk sluice their refuse into the drainage carriers that has been installed for just such stuff. And for the looks of things, if for no other reason, the walks should be kept clear of snow and the streets in front of buildings should be cleared at least half way). A report came in that it was inn possible to get out to the garbage dump. City marshal thought that | if a heavy truck were put in com mission for a trip or two roadway could be broken through. Thought lit advisable to try this method. A request came in that the ten- ant of the city hospital be allowed rent reduction on the ground that half of the occupied house room had been vacated. Deemed reasonable to allow a reduction. A change in ithe Boy Scout headquarters was al- so acted on favorably.

WADDELL SAYS
VETS CONTROL
DRY MACHINE
Enforcement So Corrupt
That LegaIized Beer Is
Only Remedy.
Times WdsbinGton Bureau.
1922 Mem York dfenu.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Cor-
ruption and political hypocrisy stalk
behind the scenes Of prohibition en-
forcement, Col. James G. Waddell,
Federal brewery and alcohol chief,
declared today.
High Government officials, Col.
Waddell asserted, recognize that en-
forcement is impossible under
present conditions, but will not ad-
NIT it publicly for fear of reprisal
by the organized drys. The pro-
hibition official, who will leave Of
flee in September, advocates legal
ization of 2.75 per cent beer as a
remedy for existing conditions.
Public Is Fooled
"The public has no idea of what
is going on" said Colonel Waddell.
Diversions of industrial alcohol or
gainezd bootlegging backed by un-
limited capital and ten-ton trucks
loaded with liquor passing over the
highways are everyday experiences
in the life of an enforcement of
ficial. 1t is a situation that has be-
come intolerable."
Colonel Waddell declared that
subordinate officials, as we'll as
those in charge of enforcing the dry
laws, are concealing the real facts
from the public.
"The extent of corruption and at
tempted bribery of public officials,
Of underworld intrigue, OF coercion
and threats, of political influence
brought to bear on man who
treads on the toes of some powerful
boss" continued the Federal officer,
"is unknown to the public. Infor-
nation given through official chan
nels to the press is colored and can
not be trusted"
Answers Wheeler
Colonel Waddell denied that
legalization of 2.75 per cent beer
would bring back the saloon, as
Wayne B. Wheeler, Anti-Saloon
League counsel, has prophesied.
"It would aid in enforcement of
the law" he asserted. "It is not
a wedge to permit the return of the
saloon, but it would be a step to-
ward temperance. The Eighteenth
Amendment cannot be repealed, but
we can amend the Volstead act so
as to make it common sense and
enforceable statute"

Puts An End To
Bunion Pains
No Need To Suffer Another Day

There is one simple yet inexpen-
sive way to reduce Inflammation OF
swollen toe joints and help get
them down to normal and that Is
to apply Moone's Emerald Oil night
and morning.
Ask Hooks Dependable Drug
Stores or any first class druggist
for an original two-ounce bottle OF
Moone's Emerald Oil (full strength)
and refuse to accept anything in
its place. 1t is such a highly con-
centrated preparation that two
ounces lasts a long time and
furthermore if one bottle Emerald
Oil does not give you complete sat-
isfaction you can'have your money
refunded
Special note: People who want to
reduce swollen or varicose veins
should get a bottle of Moone's
Emerald Oil at once. Applied night
and morning as directed they will
quickly notice an improvement
which will continue until the veins
and punches are reduced to normal.
