JOKE 1ST SIOP SAYS FIRE CHIEF Chiefs Elliott and Adams ot tho fire and police department respectively call attention that any irarson sending in a false alarm of fire will be prose cuted. There is a city ordinance Im posing a heavy penalty for such an offense. The last false alarm was sent in by telephone last Wednesday night at 7:16 o'clock when a message was re ceived by the fire department stating there was a fire at 25 North Peach street The firemen, who had just re turned from the roof blaze at the Knight home on the east side, knew that there was no sucli number on Peach Btreet, but could take no chances and hence the fire apparatus was sent to that neighborhood where no trace of fire was gained. Chief Elliott then began a hunt to trace the origin of the false alarm and finally traced it down to Richard Adams, a 14 year old youth who re sides with his parents in the Holland apartments. The lad confessed that he had sent In the call by phone from a neighboring apartment in the build ing. Ho could not state just what Im pelled him to do it, but said that he had never sent in a false alarm before, and never would again. Chiefs Elliott alnd Adams and tho boy's father gave him a good verbal dressing down and warning.. No ar rest was mado because of young Adams' youth and the fact that it was his first offense. EAGLE POINT EAGLETS By A. C. Ilowlittt AT PAGE TONIGHT Walker Whiteside and splendid New York company will appear nt the Page theatre tonight in "The Hindu." The story is told in the confines of Prince Tamar's royal palace in faroff Somnouth, India, where various vil lains assemble to lay their plans for a bloody rebellion. Their deep laid schemes are'folled, however, by an an intrepid band of Scotland Yard de tectives, led by a lovely young English girl. The great diamond "Moonstone" which has been stolen from the sacred "Moon God's" forehead, is recovered in time to prevent the natives from rising In their wrath and killing every white person In remote Somnouth. Weird and bizarre electric effects serve to break down the nerve of the rascals, and the final curtain descends j upon the miscreants in thb trap which ltna haan nlavarlv bM for tlinm. Mr. Whiteside has never had a char acter to portray which he enjoys act ing as much as he does Prin,ce Tamar. Miss Shields, his lovely leading lady, lias been happily cost as the heroine, and Miss Grant Miss Johns, Mr. Vos burgh, Mr. De Decker, Mr. Sherman, and the Hindu wonder workers, Pa zumba nnd Desylva, all have charac ters to enact which they love to ap pear in.

Ho pays a license to do business, and does it. Our stage drivers seem to bo doing considerable business now that the roads are drying up, as it Is a com mon thing for the Butte Fulls stage to have from four to six passengers each way, and among them last Tuesday were Mrs. E. E. Smith of Butte Falls and Mrs. E. B. Watson, hor daughter of Sun Francisco, and Mrs. Curson of llutte Falls. Mis. It. F.

Thomas Clngcade who lias been liv ing on his father's farm on Antelope creek, with his brother Charles, has moved into the Rev. L. L. Simmons house just below the wost boundary line of our town.

He will use his present home to store a part of his household goodh that he does not want to take with him to Butte Falls.

Wm. Holman, wife and two children and W. Mussall and son Lloyd of Suit Creek came out Friday morning, stop ped hore a short time and went out to Medford.

Ho was under tho impression that the Trail stage loft J:ere at 10 a. m.. but when he arrived .it the post office at 9:30 foudd that tho Trail stage had been gone over five min utes. The best way for poople who want to go out on tho stage, especially In the morning, is to slago closo around the postofflce for It depends altogether on how much mall matter the postmaster has to handlo nnd how much help he has for as soon as the drtvors cun gut tho mail they start cm tlu way. Mr. Jackson started out ou foot on the Crator I.ako highway FOR JUNE RACE MEETl A good manyxslgns are now being seen on automobiles advertising the Automobile and Motorcycle race meet which Is to be held on the speedway at the Jackson County Fair grounds.
