Three Grand Innes Concerts.

Times and his band will give three concerts in
Seattle before going East. The first on Sunday
afternoon a O'clock the second Sunday even
ing at o'clock and the third Monday evening
Those who heard the band on Sunday night
last will fully appreciate what delight these
three concerts will afford. The programmes
have been carefully selected and include the
best piecet in the repertoire. In addition TO the
regular soloist of the band Director Innes has
engaged Miss Mcintosh, whose singing at the
Tacoma exposition created quite a furore
Miss Mcintosh will sing the aria, ain
fammatus," from Rossini's "Stabat Mater"
on Sunday afternoon and the "Ave
Maria," by Gounod, on sunday evening.
On Monday evening the special feature will
be the rendering of the famous "Forge in the
Forest and the anvil Chorus" by the entire
band and the anvil brigade in uniform. This
great chorus was given by the band on the clos
ing night of the exposition and aroused the
greatest enthusiasm. The programmes selected
for these concerts are undoubtedly the finest
ever given in this city by military band, and
no one should miss this opportunity of hearing
these most celebrated works of the great COM
poscrs as interpreted by this wonderful organ
jzation.

The Cordrax Theater.

1t Is only natural that members of family
should combine against all who aim at the in
terests of that family, and it is only reasonable
TO expect that friends will protect each other
when an injury is attempted by opponent.
This loyalty. which finds its origin in the family
life, extends to corporations and communities,
where the general veal is a matter of concern to
every individual interested. That commenda-
bic selfness which seeks by every legitimate
means TO advance the welfare and interests of
the individual or combination of individuals
who possess ii, must be distinguished from that
narrow-minded, uneharitable sefshness so abb
horred by every true man and woman. sefness
never begrudges success to a rival. 1t is based
on Il wholesome activity in securing self-protec-
ton and self-suecess. In this spirit of sefness
the Cordray management would beg to remind
Seattle people that the Cordray theater is purely
home institution, which disburses most OF its
receipts among merchants and business men of
the city. Ii aids largely in making the money
circulation more active, combining the eireula-
ton to this community. The Cordray theater
has extremely low prices for admission, and the
management has provided excellent entertain
ment. 1.-THE shaughran" is prime attraction,

In spite OF the increased expenditures made
necessary by the growth OF the county, the re-
port shows net decrease in indebtedness Had
ii not been for the amount used in finishing the
courthouse and grounds and the furnishing of
the building. the decrease in indebtedness
would have amounted 10 over SS4,00

penses of s9,247.72; the county clerks Offices an
excess OF S2,I7235 and the treasurers, 81, 65S0l.

TWO DAYS IN ONE.
Auditor Twichell Objects to Thirty
seven DAYS in One Month.

The county auditor and Judge Osborn of the

opinion as to the meaning of a statute relative
to the payment of bailifs fees. Yesterday

department of the court was presented to the
county auditor. 1t had Bailif o. G. McGray
credited with thirty-seven days attend
anee at the court Mr.. Twichell refused to
issue warrant and upon direction of the board
of county commissioners he made the warrant
out Tor but twenty-six days. Judge Osborn then
issued mandatory order and Mr.. Twichell
made out the warrant under protest for the re-
manning eleven days.
Judge Osborn claims authority under the fol-
lowing statute:
Chapter X, section ]. That bailiffs of the sew
eral superior courts of this state, appointed by
the respective judges thereof, shall be paid for
their services not TO exceed s. per day by the
county in which the court is he d.

judge OF the county shall certify the amount due
any such bailiff, and order the payment thereof,
and thereupon the county auditor shall issue to
such bailiff a warrant on the county treasurer,
payable out OF the general fund, for the amount
SO certified.

SKILLED AMERICAN MECHANICS.
They Can Beat the Englishmen at Max
ing Steel.


Mr.. T. D. Ganse, OF Ellwood City, Pa, seere-
tary of the Union Drawn Steel Company OF
Beaver Falls, and of the Ellwood Shafting and
Tube Company, is at the Rainier hotel, having
come West on a business trip. He said last
night: ave have reached the point where we
can manufacture steel and steel machinery bet
ter than England can do it. Our workmen are
more capable our mechanical engineers more
expert. For instance, the manufacture oil
drawn steel has recently been introduced into
America with great success. Drawn steel tubes
are used by the ton for the backs OF bicycles,
and drawn steel shafting is common In mt
chinery Formerly all this work was done in
England and Germany-mainly in England;
but now America is doing it.
american mechanics can draw these steel
bars through die and make better shaft or
better tube than the English can. The steel Is
drawn cold. and comes out more perfect and
with higher polish than can be gained by
turning. Then. too, the process is cheaper, Tor
it takes much less time, and it also leaves the
strong shell on the surface, which is cast OIL in
turning.
Everything out here points to the time when
you will make your own steel and iror.'

better market than In the United States, and that
Mexico, In turn, needs the manufactures and bread

The question as to whether the Mexican Government
Is In favor Of Mr.. Blanes reciprocity ideas has been
answered several times by President Diaz and various
