Drake Mill May Be
Sold This Summer

Steps to sell the state-owned mill
and elevator at Drake, McHenry
county, may be taken by the state
industrial commission this summer.
The subject Of selling the prop
erty was preached at a recent meet
ing of the commission but no
definite action was taken. Under the
law the industrial commission must
advertise for bids for 80 days before
the sale.
Disposal Of the Drake mill formed
one Of the subjects which was bitter
~ contested at the recent legislative
session. Independents sought to
force through a measure ordering
the industrial commission to sell it
to the highest bidder, regardless of
what the bid might be. The measure
failed when several independent
members bolted the usual party
alignment and opposed it. The legis-

| sion to get the property off its hands
as quickly as possible.
This marked the third legislative
plea that the state be rid Of the
property. The first was made in
1928 when law outlining the proceed
ure to be followed in dispos ing of it
was placed on the statute books
This was reaffirmed in 1925.
Insurance and the wages of a
Waterman cost the state about s.. 1000
annually, whereas the best bid ever
received on the property was $4,000.
In an informal discussion by mem
bers of the Industrial Commission
II was brought out that the watch
man is necessary to keep the insur-
ance and that the state is, in effect,
paying $1,000 year for insurance on
property the value of which is
doubtful.
Governor Sorlie has suggested that
if reasonable bid cannot be obtain
ed the plant be sold for junk. Sue..
a method should bring more than has
yet been offered, he said. He alsu
has suggested that the Waterman be
removed and the state carry it's own
insurance but this proposal is ex.
pected to meet opposition from the
other members. Formal action look
ing toward a sale is expected some
time this summer.

Detroit Paper
Has Fine Review
of Byrne's Book

''P. f. Byrne, may not have known
when he wrote his book Soldiers OF
the Palms." that the Indians OF the
west were about to start suit against
the United States government for a
little matter of $3.50, 600. 900; what.
ever his intent, however, the Indians
attorneys will find in his volume a
lot of material for their case when
they go to court" says the Detroit
Mich. Saturday Night in publishing
an excellent review Of the Bismarck S
recent book. The review is written
for the Detroit paper by n. H. Bowen.
Soldiers of the Plains is, to a
considerable extent, panegyric of the
Indian as a warrior-and Mr.. Byrne
makes out a good case" the review
continues. "Of more practical i'm
port. at the present time is the testi-
mony he presents to show that the
government Of this great and glor-
ious country Of ours has many a
time and oft" given the red man a
terrible "gyppine."
Some Of the wrongs Of which Mr..
Byrne writes are evidently the same
of which the Indians complain in
their bill against the governme nt,

ton. The Sioux, Of whom Mr.. Byrne
has good deal to say, have the
largest claim against Uncle Sam,
amounting to nearly $500, 200, 900,
principal and interest. The Sioux
charge that the agreement of 1876,
following the Custer massacre, and
by which the tribe ceded the Black
Hills country to the United States,
was obtained by fraud and duress;
that the government has failed to
educate Indian children and supply
clothing and subsistence for the
Indians, as promised in the treaty
of 1858; that the United States al
lowed its citizens to destroy the
buffalo, to the great loss and harm
of the Sioux"

BEAU GESTE' IS
FINE PICTURE
Clever Mystery Play Will Be
Shcwn Again at City Audi
forum This Evening

Beau Gcste," the startling Her.
bert Brenon production based on
Major Percival Christopher Wren's
absorbing story of the French For-
eign Legion, began two-day en-
gagement at the Auditorium last
night. There was matinee showing
this afternoon and the final showing
here will be this evening.
Incredible as it may seem to those
who have read the book or seen the
picture, the episode in which dead
men guard the embrasures of u
desert fort is taken from an actual
happening in the annals Of the For
cign Legion.
Major Wren, in the preface of
Beau Sabreur," his new story of the
Legion, states 81 know only it is
ture," and in this he is borne out by
Edward La Roche of New York, a
veteran Of the Foreign Legion.
Dead men stand to arms! The
fallen are spirited away! A French
bayonct through the vitals of the
commandant! Was he murdered by
. one Of his own men?
These happenings, strange and
terriblc--are but part Of the story
of three brothers, whose love for
each other proved stronger than their
fear OF death.
Much Mystery
The picture opens in this manner
and after the troops coming to the
assistance of the besicged fort find
every man of it's garrison dead, they
leave, camp in nearby oasis and de-
eide to occupy the fort in the morn
ing. Before they have encamped the
evacuated fort goes up in flames!
Who killed the commandment? Who
fired the fort-and why? A thread
Of this mystery runs entirely through
the play which flashes hack to fif-
teen years before the opening scene
and reconytructs the mystery back
again to that scene.
Herbert Brenon so cleverly has
weaved the mystery throughout the
story, il is o safe venture TO say
not one OF the audience has guessed
the solution before II y revealed At
the end.
