SEATTLE, MONDAY. DEC. 8.
THE NEW THEATER.

The opening of the Seattle theater is an
event of more than ordinary importance
to the people Of this city. 1t marks dis
tinct step in tho advancement of this
community in culture, intelligence and re-
Gnement.
Ever since the great fire of 1859 Seattle
has been sadly in need of such a place of
amusement as the taste of Its people de-
manded. For few years pIior to that
disaster Frye's opera house was a credit
able theater, considering the then size of
the town. But since its destruction the
drama has Ianguished in this city. 1t is
true that many actors of worldwide repu-
tation have appeared here in the mean
time, but the houses in which the plays
were presented was so poorly adapted to the
purpose that even the efforts OF an intel
ligent and enterprising management could
not make the drama as popular as it
should be among intelligent and thinking
people.
At last. however, the enterprise and
public spirit of number of Seattle's bust
ness men has provided for the city place
of amusement which is without a superior
in the West. In the house that is to be
opened tonight will doubtless appear dur
ing the coming years the greatest and best
of the worlds actors, and the stage will
exert its influence upon our people. That
that influence will be powerful We know;
that 1t will be good we hope and believe.

DR.. Richard Jordan Calling, the inventor

The noble frs on Sehome hill
Are singing to- the wind,
The clouds that huddle to the east
With silver bars are pinned.
Against the forest background dark
The alders, gray and old,
Toss graceful tops that catch the sun
And straightway turn TO gold.
Ont of a blackeued stump near by
Up leaps DO d, young tree
Aud woos the wauton, ancient wind
That loiters OF the sea
Now hear the wild geese-"Honk- O. honkI
And sec the sunlight lay
Its shining gold on Lum MRS hills
Across the deep blue bay.
Heyl bee that drowsed among the flowers
When Augustus haze was here,
And meadow-iark that shook thy notes
In rapture. sweet and clear,
Across the ripened fields at dawn
To cheer heavy heart
Tell me why IN this autumn world
Not one of ye has part?

OF the mysterious sea.

which Mr.. Smith says were undoubt-

indications of this. The T-shaped
doors, one of which may beseen in the

those entering with burdens bound up
on them might enter with their packs;
for the Cliff-dwellers were an agricul-
tural people VINO cultivated

These queer houses are but five or

formed by logs thrust through the

some prehistoric Washburn's resi-

proof OF antiquity. Thesehouses have

where decay is imperceptible. Intact,
this is one incontrovertible proof OF
their tremendous antiquity that even
under these conditions, some of the
buildings are crumbling. while very
ancient trees, pinons 1000 years old,

and have had time to themselves be-

| The doors in these Cliff dwellings are
curious. They are like tombstone
