On account of some technicality the commission appointed to handle the bonds, could not dispose of them. Mr. Fred H. Dominick who had handled the railroad indebtedness of the townships opposed issuing of bonds, on the ground that with the present tax levy the railroad indebtedness would be paid off in a few years and it was not business like to put a bonded indebtedness on the county for this purpose to run for twenty years.

I The following is the railroad tax which wil be levied the coming year in the tnree townships: Xo. one. 11-2 mills; Xo. eight, 3 mills; Xo. .line 2 mills. The adjustment of this railroad in-, debtedness in the twonships was made through Mr. Fred H. Dominick as atinmpv and several acts-oassed bv the i legislature while Governor Blease was State senator. It is really fortunate for the three townships that some de- j feet was found in the act of 1913 providing for the bond isssue for this in- j debtedness, because within two or i three years the railroad debt of these ! townships will be wiped out and there will be no twenty year bonds to be paid with interest.

The west has given to the world a type of civilization that has its proto?;yp$ in no ooher part of the world. This peculiar civilization springs from | the environment and the sturdy charI acter which has belonged to the pio! neers in all ages of t)he world's hisI 'iory. Man is more or less a creature of circumstances and his character is but an exponent of his surroundings. The wild life of the plains and cattle ranges of a few ! years ago, which is now fast becom; ing a thing of the past, is a type of American civilization that has engaged the attention of novelists as well as of dramatists. Some of the most popular novels of the day have ! been founded on life on the great cat1 tip ranges and t.he same mav be said of the drama. "The Virginians," "The Girl of the Golden West," "The Squaw Man" have very accurately and interestingly depicted life in the We&t . and these dramas have been received with great favor everywhere. The dramatist has invested the play with the fire and dash that comes with familiarity with the life in 'that part of I the country. In the presentation of "The White Squaw" there is an absence of the straining after effect which is a common mistake of many who attempt to portray life in the , West. The old but never worn out story of love is artistically woven in ihe plot and in this way-the more refined sentiments of the pepole of the country are brought out. The villain is cleverly depicted in his devious course of entrapping the hero and heroine, but in' the end with his just reward. Aside from' being unusually strong from a dramatic standpoint, I there is a vieil of comedy throughout ! 'rhe. play that furnishes many hearty | laughs.' "The Whlt?'
