One of the best and most highly respected
comedians of America will appear at Van
couver Barracks tonight, supported by his
own eastern dramatic company, as he is on
his way to San Francisco. There are many
residents of this place who have laughed at
his comicalities in other portions OF the
United States. He recently finished a
weeks engagement at New Market Theatre
Portland. and the daily press of that city
has given him, personally, the highest Of
praise. The Or,gonidh of Dec. Is. gives
the following excellent description of the
man;
"No actor has ever visited Portland with

and quitting active stage life some years ago,

of prominently advertised stars OF late years
Many wears since he achieved reputation and
position while but "a youth, and starred thro'
New York State and Pennsylvania until
commencing management of a circuit from
Chicago through Wisconsin and Minnesota,
and was the first to enter Colorado as early as
1860 He brought his entire company by
wagons over the trail, defending themselves
twice from Indian attacks. He built theaters
in Denver, Central City, Georgetown, and also
In Helena and Virginia City, Montana. He

the country. and i nov the first 10 bring

Lake Herald Of oct. Is SAYS: a large audi
ence greeted the Langrlshe organization last
evening. and the applause and laughter were
loud aud long continued Mr.. Langrishe
himself is one of the best of comedians
Some comedians work hard for the plaudits
OF spectators. Langrishe does quite the re.
verse. While making the audience laugh he
is easy and as quiet AS a June zephyr, and
those who witness his performances hardly
know why 1t is that they surrender SO much
of their dignity to mirthfulncss, they only
know that they do y
The Portland Standard of Dec. 22d saws:

laughter during his stay at the New Mar
ket Theatre than has been produced by the
efforts Of any one comedian ever before in

The company will appear at the Garrison
Theatre Thursday, Jan. 10. in an amusing
arrangement called the "Man IN a Maze, -

his ideas get throughout the evening On

Lumber Is King on Puget Sonnd; it is
by far the leading industry. so that
when We say that 1888 WAS a very pros
porous year, We mean that the lumber
trade was active. A prominent banker
conciseiy stated the fact when he said
that the year 1853 Was their R.lden Year.
The demand both coastwise and foreign
for lumber worked our logging camps
and saw mills to their fullest capacity,
while the ACTIVITY of railroad construc.

the prosperous year. In the latter
direction 1898 records the extension of
the Northern Pacific Railroad from
Puyal!up, a station on it's branch from
Tacoma, to Seattle, distance of As
miles and also the building of the Or

fields, ten miles of which were compile

there were probably expended 1880
