To Put on Play
It is learned that the local
council of the Knights and
Ladies of Security in connec
tion with the drive they are
launching for membership will
produce a high class comic
opera in the near future. The
production will be. staged in
one of the large theatres of
Portland and some of the best
local talent have signified their
willingness to participate in its
rendition. Mr. Harry DuRoss,
a proiessional operatic tenor
singer and stage director, will
take charge of the production.
Rehearsals will be taken up
immediately after the holidays
and will he carried on to a
speedy completion. Mr, Du
Ross comes highly recommended
as a singer and director, having
been connected for a number
of years with some of the lead
ing operatic organizations ol
tho country. It has not been
decided as yet whether the
charming light opera by Plau
quette "The Chimes of Nor
mandy," orAUdrnn's scream

itigly funny opera, "La Mas-
cotto" will bo rendered, but Mr.
DuRoss has produced both
throughout the country with
great success and assures us
that either one of them as pro
duced by himself will be sure
to give the lovers of opera a
great treat. A large chorus
will be assembled and trained
to perfection nnd the lodge
would like that any who desire
to assist in this pleasant work
would communicate either with
Mr. DuRoss or the secretary of
the council, stating the voice
parts and their address and
phone number if possible, it is
to bo regretted that St. Johns
has no suitnblo play house in
which to givo this most worthy
production, nnd wo hopo that in
the near future somo pub
lic spirited person or persons
will confer a great fuvor upon
our community and a lasting
fume to their nnmo by giving
our city a first class opera
house.
A Bonus Probable
In order to stimulate product
ion and encourago men to enter
the shipbuilding trades, tho
government has decided to pay
bonus of 10 per cent to ship
yard workers who nvorago full
six days a week. Tho increase
becomes eifectivo Monday.
The bonus will be based on tho
minimum scale set by tho feder
nl wage adjustment board a
few months ago, and affects the
entire const.
Telegraphic instructions to
this ell'ect ImvoJjust been re
coived from tho United States
shipping board by officials of
tho local shipbuilding compan
ics engaged on ship construe
tion for tlu! government. Ac
cording to the orders, men
working on commandeered ships
will share equally with thoso
who are building vessels on
direct government contracts.
The bonus system will result
in adding thousands of dollars
weekly to tho already largo pay
roll of the yards, and it is ex
nected that Uncle Sam's Christ
mns present to tho workers wil
result in n marked speeding up
of individual etiort.
Tho fact that a worker will
forfeit his bonus if he does not
put in a full week's time will
servo to keen the men steadily
at work, something that tends
to ciheient organization and
operation.
It is expected that complete
nstructions soon will be re
ceived by tho shipbuilding con
cerns, as the present one confine
themselves to tho announce
ment of the program, but do
not include details as to how the
ards are to be reimbursed by
tho government for the bonuses
which they will pay as repre
sentatives of the government
and do not state whether work
ers whose wages are above the
minimum scale will bo paid the
full 10 per cent.

One bid was received by the
Commission of Public Docks
uesday for clearing land and
excavating at the site of the
municipal elevator, St. Johns,
so a spur track can be laid con
necting the main line of tho O.
W. R. & N. with tho proporty,
which has been authorized as a
means of facilitating the de-
ivery of material. The firm of
Nelson & Brown filed the lone
proposal, which was $48 an acre
to do clearing and grubbing and
42 cents a cubic yard for ex
cavating. The bid was accept
ed. Tenders were opened from
several electric machinery man
ufacturers and jobbers for sun-
plying motors and transformers
for equiping the grain elevator
nnd dock there. Because of cer
tain changes in the specifica
tions, as offered by the bidders,
also conditions as to delivery
and the like, tho bids were re
fered to G. B. Hegardt, chief
engineer, for recommendations.
Awards will be made at a spe
