Success at the Grand.
Hess has come, and has faithfully
fulfilled all the eXtravagant promises
made before the opera season at the
Grand opened. Grand opera at 25, 50
and Is cents is something that has never
before been seen in the Northwest, and
the manner in which the productions
have been placed upon the stage the

seen larger audience within the walls
of the Grand opera house, If possible,

were on their visits before. although
not looked on with such favor as now, as

fore been associated with in this city, are
but 25. so and rs cents.
