Spokane Man Reports Four
New Rigs Coming to Drill
on Rattlesnake Hill

Seven new rigs are going into
the Central Washington oil and
gas areas and three wells are be-
ing drilled, according to Conrad
Wolfe in the Sunday Spokane Re-
view. Three of the rigs are in
Grant county and four in Bento
county, he said, after passing sew
eral days in the fields.
With Spokane associates Mr.,
Wolfe has obtained several other
large tracts which they propose
to equip with drilling outfits. "Now
that the interest has spread and
operators are arriving from other
fields, the representatives of some
of the nationally known producers
are giving the fields a further in.

has visited Spokane several times,
has said that the Rattlesnake hills

is gas field of proven value and
that it has possibilities as an oil

Final Hearing on
Irrigation Case

The final receivership hearing in
the Black Rock Power and Irriga-
ton case was held in Yakima on
October IL before Judge Webster
of the Federal court. A decision on
the question of the delinquent tax
certificates was given, the court
ruling that they would not be held
as claim against the property.
A discussion of the minor claims
will be forthcoming in a week or
so, and the property viii then be
he sold. The present understanding
is that the property will be Offered
for sale subject TO the trust, and
if unable TO sell on that basis, to be
sold otherwise. This looks like the
close of the water case which has
been in litigation and dispute one
way or another for the past six
teen years. II is very important
that the people of the valley get in
position immediately to bid in the
property at the forthcoming sale,
and a movement looking to this
has already been started.

Some Did-Some Didn't.

Surviving the terrific lombard
ment, the upland game birds seem
to have won the annual contest, so
far. In other words, most of the
hunters who went into the fields
and orchards came back home
again not overloaded with game.
Some, it is true, got the limit of
both "Chinks" and "Huns", but
most of the hunters missed more
shots than not. Four more days CT
legal shooting remain on the up
land birds: Wednesdays and Sum
day the remainder of this month
are the only days this year to
shoot. The waterfowl season con-
tinues until the first of the year.

ALL-TALKIE BILL IS
 AT PALACE ON SUNDAY

The craftsmanship of Willar d Mack, rightly considered one of the greatest playwrights America has produced, is abundantly dem on h. strated in "The Voice of the City" !" his first all-talking picture, Cos mopolitan production for Metro Coldwyn-M Mayer which opens Sun day at the Palace Theatre.
 "The Voice of the City" grimly realistic, is a fast-moving melo- drama of a boys break from Sing Sing, the search for him by ruth less detective, the boys breathlesS romance and his eventual clearance of the charge which jailed him. It all takes place within the space of 24 hours and because of this contraction it moves with express train speed, the dialogue tending to speed up the action rather than retard it.
 Its setting is the underworld of a great city, and shows in vivid fash ion the life of those people who live in fear of the law.
 Burlesque in it's most hilarious form is Madame e." the newest Hal Roach M-G-M All Star talk film, as an added attraction.

 Mccoy has lived on the plains for years. He is blood brother of the Arapahoes and is said to be one Of the very few white men whose judgment and advice is followed implicitly by the Indians who live on the western plains today.
 In The Law of the Range" Mo Coy plays the part of @ Texas Ranger of the sos, commissioned with the duty of maintaining law and order over many hundreds of square miles of plains territory in the days when the bad man roamed the plains and victory went to the man who was quickest in pulling the trigger.

He was suddenly speaking again -nodding his head vigorously at his unseen auditor as though to add emphasis to his words

 He replaced the receiver on the hook, got up briskly from the desk, and opened the door connecting with the other room where the crap game was in progress.

 Without waiting for a reply, he went back to the desk and sat down.

 She was studying lazy Myer s himself, now. In spite of the filth and disorder that were his background, and the dirty, ill-fit- ting clothes he wore, there was 5omething incongruous about the man.
 She could readily picture Izzy Myers going about his business as a fawning peddler, but there was nothing about him to indicate any, thing of that sort now As he sat there at the phone he was alert and tense.
 There was cunning in his beard ed face, but there was something more. Something that she could not quite define unless it were to say that he exuded sort of ugly ef- fieiency.
 He at once repelled and inter- ested her She was conscious of the feeling that he was no ordinary man, and that he and his junk shop camouflaged far more than a mere hangout for few gangsters.
 Neither did she think he was as old as that crooked back, those round, dropping shoulders, that un- kempt shock of white hair, and that brown beard flecked with gray made him look
 He was still listening at the phone-listening eagerly. And he was smiling now-not mirthfully, but with sort of oily rapacious- ness. What was it about? It must be something of unusual import ance Of course it hadn't been as long as it had seemed, but

STATE STREET SADIE"
 AT COLISEUM SUNDAY

State Street Sadie" at the Coli scum Sunday, is the thrilling suc- cessor of The Girl From Chicago, ; which won such clamorous approv- al for the three featured players, Conrad Nagel, Myrna Loy and Will liam Russell. The capable trio are seen in State Street Sadie" in the exciting aftermath of a bank robbery in which member of the police riot squad had been shot.
 Myrna Loy, daughter of the mur- dered cop, sets forth to capture the assassin, and her suspicious grav- itate between Nagel and Russell, in a series of hair-raising adventures, which culminate in the discovery Of the perpetrator of the guilty party in the midst of wild fussi- lade in which gangsters and officers of the law clash.
 Other members of the cast are those two masterly interpreters of the tough guy-Georgie Stone and Pat Hartigan. There are of course, large number of supernumeraries which add to the picture of Chi cago's Loop district, which is the locale for the sensational crime picture.
 Melville Crossman wrote the story of state Street Sadie" and the screen adaptation was made by the clever E. T. Lowe, Jr Direction was given over to Archie Mayo, who has acquitted himself splendidly.

 Clutching the weapon tightly in her right hand she tiptoed to the window and peered in through the slats where they were out of alignment. There were five men inside there throwing dice against a raised board on table. That was the rattling and humping sound she had heard. Crapsl Her education had gone that far thanks, in this particular, to Phil Martin, who had explained the game to her.
 The five men were in shirt sleeves, not pleasant looking lot, though most of them were young. Che of them had a thin and al- most abnormally pasty-white face "a drug addict, she decided.
 Her eyes swept around the room what she could see of it. As a hangout it had the appearance of innocence itself. It was apparent ly nothing but storeroom for junk.
 There were two doors in the room, one at either end. Both were closed. The one at the lower end opened, of course, on the yard, and patiently, the door at the upper end opened into an inner room.
 She nodded her head sharply. That was the other room through whose shuttered window she had also seen chinks of light. What was in there?
 She moved stealthily along the side of the wall, and reached the second window. Her view here was even less obstructed than be- fore. This window also was open

 This particular groundhog is the property of Charles Rudy, who has the animal on his farm about ten miles from Juneau. When Rudy saw the sun peeping out behind the clouds he went to the ground hogs hut to see if there were go- ing to be any shadows to frighten the furry forecaster.
 Although he poked the ground hog with stick and tried in other way to make him venture forth his efforts were unsuccessful. After emitting few squeals the ground hog turned his back on his owner and dropped back to sleep.

Fairbanks is as lively character as he was in Don e." and almost as lively as he was in "The Mark of Zorro" and had the action been pleasant the picture would perhaps have given as much satisfaction.
