between Premier Laval Of France and
Prime Minister Macdonald remained
unsettled pending the outcome of the

SPRING, SPORTS AND LOVE
GRIP YOUNG MEMS FANCY

Now that spring is here young
mans thoughts turn to love and
sports.
The high school issued its first call
for track men a week ago Monday.
Last Saturday the first baseball game
and practice was held, so naturally,
during school hours, few men were
walking to and from classes very stiff
This year more enthusiasm has been
shown about baseball than before
among the young men and if this type
of spirit keeps up there may be a
young mems team this season to COM
pete with the old boys of baseball
Now about track, The sports writer
could find very little about the speed
boys and weight artists as they have not
come out into the open to practice. The
men turning out for track are still ex-
ercising in the gymnasium and there
fore there is little OF nothing to be said
about them.

Angela Huchala and Edward Dutton,
won the debate. Alice Stands, Edward
Tester and Rusty Allen had the neg
alive side.

firmative side, opened the debate with
the main point of argument that the

tributing factor in the Great War than
Germany. Both Edward Dutton and
Angela Huchala stressed that Turkey
and Russia were more to blame in
starting the war than Germany.
Alice Stands, first speaker on the

to blame for the war than the Balkans.
Rusty Allen and Edward Tester

Cigarette Ads.
Cost Big Money
Publicity Campaign by Reynolds To-
bacco Company Runs Into Huge
Sum.

The last three issues of the Western
News carried large display advertise
ments of the Camel cigarettes, and
comprised one of the most expensive
series of advertisements ever appear
ing in local newspaper, size consd-
cred
The ads were a copper plated cleo
trotype costing perhaps $40 to produce,
as the initial outlay, and the first one
was shipped the Western News office
by air mail, the postage totalling SIG ID.
The ads each occupied 10 column
inches, and cost the R. ]. Reynolds
Tobacco company nearly S25 each to
appear in the Western News.
In considering the cost of this adj
vertisement, the work of desig hing the
ad must be taken into consideration,
as the company no doubt has paid an
advertising firm a neat price for Gre
ating the series of Camel ads now run
ming in weekly and daily newspapers
throughout the United States.
The r. j. Reynolds Tobacco COM
pany announces that it is spending ST.
100000 to advertise the new 'humidor
!. pack Of the Camel cigarettes
The first advertisement of the series
offered prizes totaling $4,000 in a con-
test and the Reynolds company has
since stated the response was the larg-
est and most successful of any similar
contest ever conducted in the United
States Over a million letters were re-
ceived in reply to the advertisement
Daily and weekly newspapers were the
only form of advertising used to put
across this big message.
Yet there are few merchants who
still hesitate to advertise in their local
newspaper" believe it or not
The producers Of Camel cigarettes
are not spending S2,000,00O to help
the newspapers" They expect millions
in profits and will no doubt get them,
for newspaper advertising. nine
times out of ten, brings the highest
possible returns for the money ex-
pended

Craugmont, young Irish noblemen

Mr.. John Chandler of New York City
When the wealthy American and his
daughter Clare arrive. Clare becomes
intensely Interested in an old Irish
legend which Gerald tells her. The
legend concerns former Lady Mary
of Craugmont, who during the festiv-
tiles attending her betrothal, fell, and
as a result died quite suddenly Every
since, she has been frequently seen to
appear on moonlight nights, singing a
plaintive melody The portrait Of Lady
Mary which Gerald shows Glare shows
Lady Mary gowned in costly brocade
and wearing a jeweled pendant of sap
hires and diamonds, a family treasure
which has been missing since her death
AS tradition forbids the selling of the
Craugmont jewels, the financial diff
cufties and bad luck attending the
present family are attributed to the
disappearance of this pendant. When
Clare sees the Lady of the Terrace and
hears her sing, lie believes the vision
is the result OF beautiful illusion OF
the mist and moonlight
Squire Michael, plotting to get the
Castle into his hands, demands as part
payment on the mortgage interest, the
check which Gerald receives as rent Of
the castle, threatening foreclosure. He
also hopes to win Clare as his bride.
As Clare is rummaging through an
old chest trying to find an old fash
Toned costume to wear at q family
ball to be given in honor Of the Annex
leans, she finds the gown worn by Lady
Mary on the night of the accident. She
decides to wear the gown, and during
the evening, suddenly finds enmeshed
in the folds of the gown, the lost PEN
dant which evidently dropped down
from Lady Mary's neck Upon discov-
cry of the pendant, the Lady of the
Terrace is heard singing, she disap-
pears, never to return again. Squire
Michael demands the jewels as payment
for the mortgage, but Mr. Chandler,
Gerald and Glare decide to keep the
pendant in the family.
A special matinee performance will
be given Thursday night of next week.

March Is, 1867
After having enjoyed one of the most
beautiful winters in the history OF the
camp it has remained for the month
of March to deal us body blow just
as all were thinking the winter had
come and gone. In fact the past week
has witnessed the worst weather we
have had this winter. For three days
there was blizzard of no mean pro-
portions and while the thermometer
was not low, the lowest being around
the zero mark, yet the wind made 1t
decidedly uncomfortable out of doors.
Accompanying the storm was con-
siderable fall of snow in the noun
tains. Yet while uncomfortable, it will
mean for the best as this cold snap
will undoubtedly do much toward
holding the snow in the mountains,
which means water for placer and
other mining purposes during the COM
ing summer months.
