Grain haulers from Dufur and the
much fault with the condition of the
roads. They state that if there is not
a heavy shower of rain within the
next few days they will be so badly
cut up that it will be next to,impos-
sible to get their crops to market.
In former years the roads have been
greatly improved by spreading straw
on the rough places and in the holes.
This appears to be the only practical
method of improvement and there is
no time to spare in attending to this
important matter.
Those who attended Vanity Fair at
the Vogt on Saturday evening left
much better pleased than the audi
ence that heard The Mascot put on at
the Baldwin. The Metropolitan Com
pany promised great deal which they
did not present. while in Vanity Fair
the performance was carried through
as advertised. They had numerous
specialties which pleased everyone.
Their singing and music was good and
the performance as genteel throughout
as are shows of this class. Had they
charged an exorbitant price there
might heve been dissatisfaction ex-
pressed, but they gave the audience
their moneys worth and they appre-
ciated it.
The Metropolitan Opera Company's |
performance which was given at the |

come up to the expectations of those

accounted for. however, since the
Pocatella fire played havoc with their
costumes and made it'impossible for |
them to put on all their cast and those
who did appear we're handicapped so
that the Masct was not presented in
;he eqcellent manner that it was when
here on former occasion. They are
low on their way to Seattle where
hey will replenish their wardrobes
md get in trim to appear in better
hape than ever.
