THIS is one Of the few actresses
who can always play in Carson to
big houses, and come az often as
she pIeases. She will give her own
version OF La Belle Russo.
The Portland Transcript: has the
following:
After lapse of over two years,
Miss Jefrys-Lewis again made her
appearance before a Portland audi
ence at the New Park last night in
ola Belle Russo" she assuming
the role OF Geraldine Calthorpe, an
adventures.
She has lost none OF that mag
netic grace which characterized all
her professional essays.
She retains the power in an adj
mIrable measure, to enchant all
who see her by the realism Of her
art; and they who saw her last
night and ten years ago find this
difference only, that she has de-
ve'cped more natural conception
OF the particular roles she So
grandly handles.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
Miss Lewis yet stands without a
peer. in her line of character, upon
the American stage. 1t is trne, the
line is not Of the mort elevstiny
from moral standpoint, bet it is
the essence OF art.
Pr. Harry Mainhall played the
character OF Captain Daddy Brand.
He has greatly improved since lis
last visit here, evidenced by the
faithful and intelligent handling OF
his work last evening.

y Early in the Spring the write
planted some aspercet on his ranch
putting in four pounds on about
half am acre.
The Spring rains followed in a
few days, but they had but little
effect, and not over 4 dozen plants
came up.
Afterwards more seed was Sc
cured FROM Hr. Herman Spring
meyer and planted along side the
first. Nearly all of this came up
and presented very healthy
growth.
The second batch had one light
shower on it, and the whole was
planted on dry, sandy soil, which
was never irrigated.
Yesterday the writer visited the
frs. planting and was surprised to
see that nearly all had come up,
and some had grown so we'll that it
had gone to seed. The plants were
very vigorous and green, and from
one root twenty-five stalks were
counted, and some OF these plants
we're covered with seed pods.
Although the ground was per-
fectly dry the plants did not show
the slightest sign Of suffering from
drouth, but were green and vigor-
Gus. Alfalfa which had been
planted near the aspercet had died
out from lack of irrigation.
Although some Of tho seed had
been in over two months it had |
just began to sprout, while other
plants right along side had become
considerably matured. Nearly all |
had begun to stool heavily, and the
roots we're large and strong.
A third batch planted later than
any had started up without ever
having any rain on it or artificial

tor Bonfield said last night:
When Kelley and McGiliivery

sent for me. l went to see them
at the Armory police station, first
sending word to General Manager
Stone that l presumed they wanted
to talk. He came over bringing an
attorney with him, and when con-
fronted with the men they told us
fully of their connection with the
circular. Their statement was sat
isfactory to Nr. Stone. Their stat.
ment WIS being reduced to writing,
and was not fully completed be-
fore l left, but l understand that it
settles, beyond all possibility Of
doubt, the authorship of the sal
soda and emery circular. 1t also
settled the identity of John Sewers,
the man who could not be found by
the reporter. According to this
statement, Sewers is no other than
Chairman Hoge. When the circu-
lars were sent out inquiries, as to
Its authenticity were received from
Chief Engineers asking if it were
genuine. Both OF these |
men answered a number of !
these inquiries, saying by !
direction of Hoge-thSt the !
circular was all right. Letters ad- |
dressed to Sewers and left at the
National Hotel were taken to
Hoge and there answered by these
men, under Hoye's instruction.
