The wyman Comedy Company.


In the present days of travelling trash and
performances which our townsfolks are
called upon to patronize it gives us much
pleasure to chronicle at least one theatrical
company to whom the above remarks do not
apply, and to use our endeavors to bring to
public notice through our medium the above
named company. The combination, con-
sisting of 10 performers, opened at the Gar
rison theatre ON Thursday last, when
"Yakie," or the emigrants oath, Ia German
American comedy in acts) was produced.
Az neat and humorous Dutchman ALI
Wyman IN the character of "Yakie" is not
to be equalled, and his singing was loudly
applauded. He is simply immense. Nor
was Miss Lulu Wilson as Louisa found lack
ing in any particular; she too gained the
plaudits Of everyone. especially in her song
and dance, one of the neatest productions
we have ever witnessed. Miss Graham as
Jeanette did remarkably well. and in fact so
did all the company. The piece was played
to large house, and having a savoring Of
the military" throughout was highly APP
preciated, especially the camp scene in act |.
The dog Ned is mystery, singing and al
most talking at the instigations OF his mis-
trsss, Miss Lulu Wilson, who has him en-
tirVly under command. On Friday night
s'Kethlson Mavournesn" was rendered. and

STEAMBOAT CHANGEs.--A correspondent

There have been some changes lately in

two minutes was dead. 1t is only a few
days since we chronicled the death of his
brother, Mr.. Valentine Proebstel. Like
him, John Proebstel came to the county at
an early day. aud has always been one of
our most substantial and respected farmers,
whose death will be regretted by very
large circle of friends.

AN EYE OUT.-On Tuesday Mr. John
Thiesen of the Fern Prairie district, went to
Portland for the purpose of having one of
his eyes removed. 1t was injured some
years ago by the explosion Of blast, and of
late has been so painful as to iniure the
other eye, necessitating the removal of the
injured member.

to every advantage The "Kathleen" of
Miss Wilson was superb, and the same re-
mark may also apply to the 'Terrance" of
Wyman. The scene at the Black Crag was
fine piece Of acting, and the excitement
fully kept up till the close of the piece,
where Kathleen and Mr.. Kelly performed
by Mr.. Sawyer danced the Irish reel, which
brought the house down. Saturdays bill
was 'Uncle Toms Cabin" and this piece
scored another success. Miss Wilson again
appeared in the simple sweet character of
Eva, which charmed everyone, and in the
third act unprecedented 'Topsy" In our
opinion her rendition of the mischievous I'M
ruly colored girl was par excellence. Any
one who could desist from laughing at
Lawyer Marks" by Wyman, would have a
hard task on their hands, and his local hits
amused and gratified ALL We cannot but
make a passing notice of the Aunt Ophelia
and Casey by Miss Graham, and to the act
ing of Phineas Fletcher by Sawyer. But
the scene of all that pleased us most was the
ice scene, where Eliza is attacked by the
dogs. These animals are canine wonders,
and those who have any doubts as to their
realistic acting in their part of the perform
ance will fully satisfy themselves by ap-
preaching them at that special time. We
confess we want the mark absent after our
name. What is most wonderful about these
dogs, Rover and Nose, is that they have
been trained by kindness, never abused or
muzzled las most these dogs are) and are as
handsome specimens of their breeds as can
be imagined. The steamboat and cotton
plantation scenes were given. On Monday
"Dora" was announced, followed by "Sul-
Ivan the Boxer" Farmer Allen by Rich
ardson was very creditable; Dora by Miss
Wilson very good, and of course Wyman
had to be on hand to amuse, which he did
in the character of Luke Bloomfield. Jim
Blunt's make up was great, the character
being taken by Sawyer We cannot make
our mind up between this piece and "Kath-
leen Mavourneen," but can only say they
are beautiful. The performance closed with
Sullivan the Boxer" farce which set the
audience laughing heartily John Schmidt
by Wyman created enough merrment for a
whole week, and his songs and burlesques
were tip top.
Tonight, "wednesday their last perform
ance, will be, by universal request, "Yakie"
again. The attendance throughout has been
very large, and although many companies
that have come here have not scored sue
cess, still we think the Wyman management
are very well pleased with Vancouver We
learn that the average receipts nightly come
to $40. We shall always gladly welcome
any and every member of this company in
our midst, and recommend them to our
Eastern Oregon friends as a frst-class troupe
of ladies and gentlemen. They open in the
Dales for Friday and Saturday, thence go
to Pendleton, Weston and Walla Walla.

FIFTH PLAIN RoAD.-The best road work
done in Clarke county this year is now in
progress on what is known as the 9TH Plain
road, between 4th Plain and the Wyatt
school house, in district No. l3, of which
NJ. j. Fleming is supervisor A year ago
the people in that district determined not to
sink any more money or labor in the mud,
by piling up soft earth, which must be piled
over again each year to keep up the usual
supply of mud, under the common system
of working the roads. Instead of annually
going through the regulation system of
wastage they determined to lay down split
fir planks on the grade. To make their
work more effective subscription paper was
circulated in this city, where over $500 was
obtained from merchants and business men.
to be put into this plank road. The resi-
dents on the line OF the road also subscribed
large amounts above their road tax, some as
high as $50 and 500 each The work has
been vigorously prosecuted, and still goes
on. There is now laid mile and u half of
plank through the swale from the Wyatt
school house toward Vancouver, half the
distance through the swalss being covered.
The remainder will be covered as rapidly as
the weather will permit. This road work is
not thrown away, and will stay on top OF the
ground for ten years at least, and will prae
tically demonstrate the folly of the common
system OF squandering the road taxes in pill
ing up dirt for the accumulation of deep
mad holes. The planks are covered with
four inches of dirt, which is no detriment to
travel in winter, and in summer will make
a comparatively smooth road. The cost of
such road is of course a considerable item,
but it must pay in the end. The planks cost
about so cents per rod of road ten feet wide.
Hauling and laying Their down costs from
so to 90 cents per rod more, making COM
plete cost about 81. 40 per rod. The planks
are made from the timber growing along the
line of the road, and the stumpage costs
nothing. Many trees have been cut on this
line which have each furnished plank for l6
rods, 264 feet in length of road or six to
ten thousand feet of lumber measurement.
With plenty of such timber growing in
Clarke county there should be no lack of
good roads, We hope to see the time when
all the road districts will adopt the system
now put in practice by Road Dist. No. IL,
of planking the swales and pieces of road
through the heavy timber. Then our roads
will be passable for loaded wagons the year
round

DEATH OF RICHARD CovINGToN.-Mr.
Charles Bird has sent us a copy of the Ga
zette, published at Honolulu, Sandwich Is
lands of Nov. LIST, which contains the fol-
loving reference to the death of gentle
man who lived for some years on Fourth
Plain, and is well remembered by the old
settlers of this county:
1t is with great regret that we have to
chronicle the death of Mr.. Richard Coving-
ton, who expired at his residence, Alakea
street, on the 25th inst. Mr.. Covington
was born in London in the year 1920, and
was therefore 81 at the time of his DEATH
In 1916 he stayed at the Islands for few
weeks; he was then on his way to Wash
ington Territory. where he engaged in farm
ing. subsequently he went to the city of
Washington, where he was in the Patent
Office during the whole of President Grant s
administration. Before coming here he
spent year in Victoria. On his arrival
here few years ago he was attached to the
foundry, and finally he entered the survey
Office. He was one of the most competent
draughtsmen in this country. Autographs
of his latest work, the map of Oahu, only
reached here a few days before his death,
and he was unable to see the production.
The funeral was attended by Professor Alex
ander and the members of the survey office.

LEMONS FOR CONSUMPTION.

Jornc7 gives new cure for consumption
Put dozen lemons in cold water, boil until

many as dozen day. If they cause pain
or looseness of bowels, use less, say five or
six. until better. After using FIVE or six
dozen you will begin to gain strength and
appetite. As you improve you need not use
so many Follow directions and you will
never regret it if there is any help for you.
