Helper Water While Numerous Improvements Are Being Made; To Be Made First Class Playhouse. Wednesday last a number of workmen began the job of remodeling the Strand Theatre in Helper, which on August 1 became a part of the Huish Theatre Enterprises. C. E. Huish, of Eureka, Utah, in Helper this week, owns and operates theatres in a number of Utah cities, and is president of the Theatres Association. To The Journal Mr. Huish stated that the Strand will be ready for reopening about the 10th of this month, but before reopening, the building will come in for considerable remodeling and redecorating. Ventilating improvements will be made and new equipment installed, including new seats, carpets, lighting fixtures, Western Electric sound, etc. The Strand, said Mr. Huish will have the first Western Electric sound to be installed in Carbon County, and it is the intention of the new proprietors of the Strand to make it one of the most beautiful theatres in the state. Ray Sutton of Provo, who has had 17 years' experience in operating theatres, will be local manager for the Huish organization. He will move his family to Helper. Announcement of the reopening of the Strand will be given in the next issue of The Journal. time ago the Carbon SOME Board of Commissioners, of which Dr. C. R. Fahring of Helper Is a member, convened and resoluted, over the local member' objection, $5000 of county money to assist in building a hospital at Price, a strictly illegal disposition of those funds. In fact, over Dr. Fahring's negative vote, a warrant for $2000 of the $5000 account had been ordered drawn. At this juncture a representative number of Helper taxpayers waited upon the board, and so emphatic was the protest against this illegal disposition of taxpayers' money that the action was withdrawn, with the record of the latter procedure spread upon the minutes. Now, within a few weeks of the above action, comes the report that provisions had been made as far back as 1930 for a county hospital at Price. The natural conclusion Is that Commissioner Fahring, not only desired to keep the board's record above reproach, but he must d hunch, have had a If not positive knowledge that the late Dr. Fisk had made for an institution for Carbon County far beyond and above anything even hoped for. Dr. Fahring, next January, Will be the only Carbon County commissioner to retain his scat on that important governing board, and It is well for Carbon County to have this experienced member, whose meticulous application of business principles has been in the Interests of the common weal. well-define- pro-Visi- WILL BE A CANDIDATE FOR THE LEGISLATURE It is reported that Mrs. A.

The will stipulates that the hospital must be erected on the southeast corner of the property and must be of sufficient size and character to be rated as a training hospital by the American Medical association. A suitable carving Inscribing the name of the hospital must be placed above the entrance. Mandatory Instructions The will provides that if Carbon County fails to carry out terms of the will faithfully, the bequest will lapse and the money and real estate revert to the residue of the estate. Wealthietit Resident of Locality Dr. Fisk, who died in Price July 21 was reputed to be the wealthiest person in eastern Utah, having large holdings in Carbon county real estate. Altho the petition for probate places the value of the estate in excess of $10,000, it is believed to have a value of a half million dollars. Hearing on the petition will be conducted Aug. 17. Cash Bequests The will contains cash bequests aggregating $356,000, including the hospital bequest; a $50,000 trust fund for Robert Fisk, 11, a grandson, residing in Overland, Mo.; $30,000 to George Fisk of Toledo, Ohio; $75,000 to Adam Boyer, of Helmer, Ind., a cousin; $1000 to Mrs. Minnie Newton, the late doctor's housekeeper; $25,000 to the legal heirs of Warren Boyer, 'deceased cousin, and $25,000 to Minnie Smurr, of Butler, Ind., a cousin. Residue to Son The residue of the estate is bequeathed to Walker Bank & Trust Co., of Salt Lake, to be held in trust for a son, Russell T. Y. Fisk, of Seattle, Wash., except for a $75,000 bequest to Lisle A. Smith, assistant U. S. attorney general, Washington, D. C, another cousin, and one of the executors. Mr. Smith also receives an automobile, a diamond ring and a Masonic emblem. The Walker Bank & Trust Co. is the other executor of the will. Several diamond rings, Masonic emblems and other jewelry are bequeathed to Matthew of Price, a friend; the doctor's surgical instruments and drugs are given to the Price City hospital, and his medical and surgical books are bequeathed to the Carbon County Medical society. The will, witnessed by Carolina B. Gilmour of Trice and Lyle E. Lamph of Castle Dale, was executed June 4, 1930. Gil-mo- ur NOT A POLITICAL BODY Declaring that the United Mine Workers of America will support any candidate for public office that is a friend of labor, Frank Bonacci, county representative of that union, denied rumors that the, union is a political body. Mr. Bonacci stated that the rumors probably originated from the fact that several members of that organization are seeking political office. Miss LaThel Elliott returned to her home here the first of the week from Salt Lake, where for the last few weeks she has been receiving medical attention In a hospital. Dr. F. R. Slopanskey of Salt Lake was a business visitor in Helper over Sunday and Monday. He was accompanied on his return home by his brother, E. C. Slopanskey, who is located in Helper at present.
