Attention is directed to the very sens-
BILE suggestions contained in the big adj
vertisement of A. L. Fix & Co., OF this
city, probably the oldest and best known
firm in that line OF business in the
county. Neither A. l.. Fix nor Jas. Il.
Coe, the leading members Of this firm,
need special commentator through
these columns as business men. They
are both well known throughout central
Washington as men OF sterling character
and unquestioned reliability. The prop
critics now listed with them comprise
some Of the finest tracts Of realty, both in
the county and city. Their list is very
extensive, as will be seen by reference to
their display announcement. Parties in
the east who desire information about
this famous section or who contemplate
coming to Yakima should address the
firm Of A. l.. Fix & Co. Parties who
come to investigate the field personally
should call at the Office OF the firm for in
formation.
The Calhoun Opera company in 1.-THE
Mikado" on Monday evening attracted
an unusual assemblage at Mason's opera
house. Only standing room was left. 1t
was about s400 house. Although the
tickets were 81 SO, those who attended
had no occasion to begrudge the price
paid for the entertainment. "The Mi
ksdo" could not be properly staged here
and 1t was useless for the company to
unpack its fine scenery; two or three very
interesting features were omitted on &C.
count OF dearth of room, and picturesque
scenes were left out for similar reason,
but the entertainment was good, varied
and unlike those commonly presented
here by travelling companies. The audi
ence was unusually demonstratlye OF its
appreciation, the music was fair and all
were apparently well pleased with the
opera.
