NORTHERN LIGHTS MAKE
GORGEOUS DISPLAY
The northern lights were unusu
ally brilliant last night, shooting long
streamers of vari-colored lights ath
wart the sky for several hours. The
appearance of the lights at this sea
son of the year is unusual.
The cableoperators at the local
station report great trouble in send
ing messages on account of the earth
waves breaking up the messages. At
Spokane last week the telegraph
lines were tied up for four hours, the
electricity display being unusually
grand. The occasion for the aurora at
this time of the year is unknown, and
it is generally never seen except in
the winter, when old timers say it in
dicates cold weather.
A large number of our citizens
stood on the stredts for an hour or
so watching the gprgeous display, and
speculating as to its source.

ANCHOK.XGK COMMENT ON
"THE PRICE OK MALICE"
An especially good picture with a
semi-military background that does
not, however, form the chief feature
of the play. The interest is strong,
from beginning to end. There is not
an instant when the action drags.
Some of the lighting effects are won
derful. Considerable humor thru the
picture, does not need any further
comedy. Can be run with a News,
Scenic or Travel. Will make one of
your best programs.
‘‘The Price of Malice" will be
shown at the Empress Theatre tomor
row night.
