A Notable Dramatic Event.

East Sound has had a decided sensa-
ton in theatrical way and Orcas
island has had a sort of social earth
quake during the holidays on account
of it. Outside of the large cities where
the theatre is an established institution
we have seen nothing in our expert
ence to compare in excellence and
good acting with the amateur troupe
which has just given two performances
in Odd Fellows hall at East Sound.
The first was on Tuesday evening,
Dec. %, and in spite of bad weather
the hall was full. and so generally good
was the acting and the plays so anus
ing that there was q general demand
for its repetition on New Years Eve,
when the performers were greeted by
another crowded house and with in
creased marks of approval by the au-
dience. The plays were of great merit
and have been acted on the boards of
London, Boston and other theatres.
The first one given was "My Turn
Next" the performance lasting nearly
an hour, and the second was 'Turn
Him Out" requiring about the same
time, and while every line of them was
bright and amusing, the capital acting
Of all the troupe brought out the ridicu-
lous and funny points in fine shape,
and the audience we're constantly con-
vulsed with shouts of laughter on
every seat in the house.
The star actor was DIR. Hogg, resi-
dent physician of East Sound, and he
was simply brilliant. AS profession
al he would be a auccess anywhere. He
assumes q character with complete
abandon, and by his inimitable and
bright acting assisted by wonderful
facial expression brings down the house
every time. The subordinate charac-
tiers were excellent, every one of them;
the scenery was good, the dress and
wigs were partly obtained from the
Seattle theatre, the music was bright
and altogether no trouble or expense
was spared to give the people of Orcas
island the best performance ever wit
| messed in San Juan county. Besides
DR.. Hogg, the other performers were
Mr.. Chalmers, Mr.. Wallis, Mr.. Cow,
Mrs. Wallis, Miss Waldrip and Miss
Geoghegan. We understand that the
proceeds were given to the church at
| East Sound after deducting the ex-
pense. A READER.

ing the holidays. He is now q resident

a public hall this place. Do not let
the idea die out, but give it general
push.
Mr.. A. Stahl, of Orcas, was here Sc
curing names to q petition to the legis-
lature in favor Of keeping the fish

New Years with relatives at this place.
There was party given at Mr.. Joe
Bulls, on New Years Eve. Quite
large attendance was present and dam
cling was the principal amusement in

West Sound is quite q lively little
place and very temperate. It is good
thing the boys don't drink, for if they
did they would have a hard time of it
here, where no liquor can be had.

Dear Sir
1--WE are glad to inform you that
you have secured the prize offered for the
bush of Motifs Excelsior Peas, containing
the largest number of pods, sent us the
past season; and we herewith enclose, as
a New Years gift, draft on the Third Ma
tional Bank, fthis city, for $4,000, amount
of said prize" Yours truly,
WIN. HENRY MAULE
This makes the fourth or fifth prize
given by this house to residents of San
Juan county, two or three being Sc
cured by East Sound parties. Consid-
ering the fact that these prize offers
are made so that any section in the
United States or Canada can enter into
the competition, we consider it big
card for our county, and one that
should not be overlooked. Our soil
and climate is particularly well adapted
to the growing of fruits and garden
truck, as well as hay, oats, wheat, etc.
Mr.. Shades winning this prize of $50
in competition against several hun
dred from all sections of this country
and Canada not only speaks highly
for him as seed grower but for San
Juan county as good place for those
contemplating settling in Washington
to keep their eye on. There is plenty
of choice farming land to be had in this
section at moderate cost and anyone
coming here will find it to be the choice
garden spot of the world.

REFLECT A LITTLE.

Why take a trip to Toledo to do
Dry Goods Shopping, under the mis-
taken idea it paysY All that is neces-
sary to prove the above assertion will
be TO make visit at a. F'Foney's Of
Bowling Green and ask Tor any item or
brand OF goods you know by name and
you'll find, nine times out OF ten, you
can purchase the same goods here at
this store for the same price or less.
This has been forcibly brought to our
attention by our customers who have
tried both places. They Invariably
come back and buy Of as because 1t
pays them to do so. Why is this SOP
Because they find here the best selected
stock OF Dry Goods in northwestern
Ohio, and the greatest shopping centre
in Wood county,
When you pay this store visit just
note the enthusiastic crowd of shoppers
who congregate here elk days in the
week. That tells tale OF price, at
tractiveness Observation-Disclosures
that needs no words of ours to empha-
size. Besides our Dry Goods Stock we
have our entire second floor devoted to
Curtains, Carpets and Draperies and at
prices at the mention OF which will
instantly loosen your purse atrings-
such as strictly all woc' iirst-class
ingram carpets at 45 cents yard.
Guaranteed spring roller window shade
including all the fixtures at 10c each,
and we could go on naming articles by
the score that you can buy for less here
than elsewhere. You can appreciate
our prices great deal more by calling
and examining the goods than you
could by reading OF them.
Next time you're in need Of Dry
Goods take the electric car and give
this store call and see for yourself.

1t has become very popular thing
To have band, or orchestra, to fur
nish music at restaurants during the
hours when meals are served. Some
times the "orchestra" consists of only
two or three musicians" who are way
up in the popular musical productions
of the day and make an effort to have
their selections suitable to time and
place. When the soup course is being
served, 4" Swim out O'Grady" is the
accompanying selection. II chicken
is being served you will probably listen
to the dear old tune-"When you and
were young," and If you start in on a
piece of roast teef the band will prob
ably tune up on the comic opera selec-
tion-"He has an Elephant on his
hands," Oh course you may be little
surprised to hear "The Sidewalks of
New York" when you bite into the
restaurant pie, but after straightening
out your teeth you will conclude the
leader has seen that pie crust before
you came in. When you attempt tc
wash down your dinner with drink oI
water do not be surprised to hear the
band play "Arrah, 60 on, you're only
loolin, - as the leader probably observes
that you drink water in an amateur
fashion.

Reports from various localities state
that an air ship is enjoying itself float
ing about in the skies. A Cincinnati
woman has gone crazy over the news
and the manager of a summer aanuse-
ment resort has sent out to find the air
ship with the intention of using the
thing as an attraction. AS yet no one
knows exactly whether there is anv
truth in these reports or not. 1t may
be that the extremely cold air that has
been chilling our people to the bone, Is
due to the fact that the airship is
floating around in this locality, and
while blowing off steam sends it's icy
breath upon US.
