SETTING 1T RIGHT

Editors Note-In an editorial
of last week reference was made
about the Indebtedness assumed
by Danforth and Wilma town
ships when they set off from
Sandstone township, stating that
the information was gained from
an official source but that it ap-
peared erroneous and that we
would be pleased to have it cor
rected. We are glad this week to
hear from j. H. Frisendahl, an
old settler i'm DanfOrth township,
who has the facts in the matter
I Mr.. Frisendahl's letter follows:
In the last issue, Oct. 31st, of the
Askov American, is a statement of
the Indebtedness of Sandstone town.
ship at the time when Danforth town.
ship was set off from it, and which
Danforth alone had to shoulder.
which statement the editor finds it
hard to believe, and which he will be
glad to have corrected.
As these transactions took place
while | was chairman of said town of
Danforth, it will be a pleasure to me
to give true facts.
The bonded Indebtedness. as far as
| know, against the original township
of Sandstone and its eastern territory
was $S,000.00 issued for the purpose
of constructing bridge across Kettle
river, surveying and building roads
east iOf the said river. But part Of
these bonds must then have been paid,
as they were issued, in 1897, and the
township of Danforth, was organized
March Is, 1894.
At this time, the original township
of Sandstone had a floating indebted
ness of $6,496.14, of which the new
township of Danforth was asked to
pay a share of $3,724.66.
Different opinions. about this float
ing Indebtedness being a legal claim
against said township of Danforth,
caused a lawsuit, beginning March 10,
1910. When oar Dec. IL, 1914, final
settlement was made, there was due
Sandstone township on judgment the
amount of ---------------- ,923.66
DanfOrth townships expenses
in attorneys fees - 578.16
A total of ----------------S5, 5O1.79
During following years the town.
ships of Wilma and Arna had each
organized in succession, but when the
final settlement was made, each town.
ship paid its share as follows:
Wilma township -- 1852 81
Danforth township --- 1,960.96
Total -gL 5,5O1. 70
Yours truly,
j. H. FRISENDAHL.

PALACE - McALLEN

Never outwit your audience" was
once a standing rule for all directors
of motion pictures but, in THE
Studio Murder Mystery" the auth
ors, The EdingtonS, and Frank little
the director-adaptot, have tried
hard to do so and they believe they
have succeeded in battling any au-
dience.
Mystery pictures, such as Some
thing Always Happens, Interior
ence,' The Dummy and The Canary
Murder Case which trick and BATTLE
spectators down to the. final scenes,
betrayed this ancient phobia," says
futile. These mystery pictures
which have kept audiences guessing
as the action progresses have won
universal approval and The Studio
Murder Mystery is the best one yet"
THE Studio Murder Mystery"
which is showing at the Palace the
alter in McAllen, is Paramount'S lat
est ~all-taIking thriller and the story
is laid almost entirely on the talking
picture-making stages of a Holly

; Chicago twenty-five years ago-a
windy, roaring, busting city of the
west-seething with activity-a city
Of gambling houses, music halls, re-
sorts and cabarets-broad -beamed
cattlemen, wild spenders after SELL
ing trainloadS Of steers at the stock
yards-a city where life was lived
for today with never a thought of
the morrow.
In "ShoW Boat" Universal's gi-
gantic super talking picture, which
is coming to the Capitol theater
Sunday. with Laura La Plante, Jo-
seph S~childkraut and Otis Harlan
featured, just such a Chicago is
shown. Some of the biggest scenes
of the production are laid in the ia
nous Jopper's Music Hall and a no
torious, palatial gambling den Of
twenty-five years ago. All the ro-
nance, glamour and fanfare that
was Chicago is seen in UniverSalS
production of Edna Ferber's best
selling novel.
There are burlesque ladies, remi-
niscent of the famous Hudson Beef
Trust, in their spangles and gawdy
tights; Little Egypt, the original
hootch dancer, writhing and twist
ing on the stage before a polyglot
gathering; everything that went to
make up the variety show Of a
quarter century ago. And there,
also, is Magnolia singing the darky
melodies she learned on the Mis-
sissippi river Show Boat as a child.
The next step was the getting Of
the proper types to use in the
scenes. But this was all in the days
work. Sketches and photographs
were secured and costumes ordered.
Mutton chops and various other hir-
suite adornments we're popular with
the men of those days and Universal
was forced to engage a battery Of
makeup experts to apply spirit gum
and facial foliage.
Harry Pollard directed this super
production while the supporting cast
includes Alma Rubens, Emily Fitz-
roy, Elise Bartlett, Nicely Edwards,
Jane La Verne, Blanche Craig.
Theodore Torch, Harry Holden and
many others.

Day at Equalization
Boards Sittings

The county commissioners court
was meeting Friday for the third
time this week as a board of equal
lzation as property owners of the
county continue to appear at the Of
flee of the county tax assessor in
answer to notification that the valu-
alton Of property over the county
has been raised.
Property owners whose surrames
begin with letters F and G were
calling at the court house Friday.
Approximately 125 have appeared
to show cause why their taxes should
not be raised. AS a result, several
final assessments on property have
not been declared, pending a re-
check.
The commissioners court settles
controversial matters when the tax
payer and assessors office are I'M
able to agree on final valuation.
