singers from Lewiston, twenty five from
Bath and the same number from Bruns-

to furnish the orchestra aocompaniments.
Tkis organization contains some fof the
most skillful and experienced performers
in that city. Prominent among the solo,
lists whose preser Q, will grace the occa.
ion, is Miss Sallie rockingham Akers of
New York, lately returned from her
studies with some of the bcst European
masters. Miss Katherine Kicker was
until recently one of our singers, and like
many other artists who have gone forth
from oursmidst she has been highly ap-
preciated in large musical centers, having
achieved a notable success In oratorio in
Boston u short time ago. Charles Stanley
Hill Of Boston is an able professional man
also an accomplished choir singer-one
fully equal to the requirements Of the
tenor role In The Creation. lWe..may justly
be proud of our own solo artists whose
names appear in the advertisement. They
could easily win applause from the most
critical audience that any large city can
gather. The numbers with orchestra are
to be under the direction of Mr.. Emil
Mollenhauer, who has long and efficiently
welded the baton, musician of mature
Judgment, and also our own Hermann
kotzschmar, who surely needs no intro
duction to AN audience of Maine people.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
GEM THEATRE.

4'The Guv nor" Is one of those plays
which every generation must see and the
laughs which 1t evokes are just as hear
ty today as when Warren played the part
in the old Museum times. For years 1t
was considered blssphemy for any one
else to attempt the role of the old deaf
boat builder, but the mantle fell to
worthy shoulders when Mr. Barrows
essayed the portrayal and no one will
make mistake in visiting the Gem
theatre and seeing the play. This Is not
the whole show by any means for the
balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet
by Mis- Stone and Mr.. Craig is a clever
piece of romantic acting and there are
others in the cast who always appear to
the best advantage
An afternoon or evening can be very

are obtained at the Casco Bay Steam

Water can only be had by purchasing
stock in the company, and upon the
face of each certificate is a description
of the land to which the water is to be
applied. Based upon this certificate
the company issues to the farmer
water deed, or check, for the quantity
he is entitled to. The holder is entitled
to voice IL the management of the
company. When he sells his land the
water stock goes with it. The water
is the most valuable part of the farm.

WEIGHING OF GRAIN.

State Weighmaster Edward O'Brien has
prepared a report covering the crop year
ending Sept l. This report shows that
during the year there were weighed
202, 293 cars, and that the revenues of the
office were $34, 1854. The expenditures
were So, 4iS.6S, the deficiency of So, 95S.27
The total number of bushels of grain
weighed was 160, $40. COG. OF this amount
l20, 765,sS7 bushels were wheat: 1851, 464
corn; q, 51SS13 oats; 1,264, S33 rye; 1882, 4S6
barley and 5,496, 493 flax
Since the creation of the state weigh
ing service in 1885 the fee has ranged
from 30 cents down to Is cents per car,
and for the past two years or more the
latter figure has prevailed Up to Janu-
airy, 1897, when the fee was reduced to
10 cents. the department was self-sustain-
ing. The 15-cent figure has been made
quate to meet the requirements. On
Sept. l the fee was advanced TO 20 cents,
and on Nov. l to % cents. The result
of this increase was a deficiency of but
1859 for September. October will show
a surplus of about $3.50.
In the past five years the average
weight of a car load of grain has in
creased from Gas bushels to an average
of about $50 bushels. One car recently
received and weighed at the Pillsbury
"A" mill contained 1,523 bushels.

until few years ago real estate doomed
and as Washington grew population
and wealth, the real estate dealers
thrived. But that is all past.
This street railway syndicate now
runs line into the northeast section,
seven miles out to Bladensburg, Hyatts-
vile and Berwyn, in Maryland. The
transit is rapid, cheap and comfortable.
The cars are as comfortable as Pull
mans, are heated by electricity, and
are always on time. Thus man can
make home for himself in one of the
growing suburban places and be close
enough to his office for all practical
purposes.

rying water to farmers throughout
the districts, thus gridironing the val
leys with artificial streams and, to
some extent, modifying the dry, heat
ed atmosphere.
These canals are 10 or u feet deep
and about 20 feet wide at the bottom,
sloping outward at the top. The bot
ed water tight" The larger ones
have a capacity of irrigating about 5O,-
900 acres of land.
In constructing these immense ca
mails the builders have adopted the pre-
historic grades and followed the lines
of the ruined and forgotten primitive
irrigating bitches of the aboriginal
tribes who inhabited this country ages
ago. The modern engineer finds that
he cannot improve upon these scientific
channels. Here are the ruins of ancient
reservoirs, into which were led the
fertilizing streams from the noun
tains and the rivers to nourish their
growing crops.
In this arid section it requires about
is inches of water yearly to grow
crops. This water is distributed in
six irrigations, of about three inches
each, at stated intervals. There is
much dissatisfaction among the farm
ers at the appropriation of these nat
ural streams by the water syndicates.

REDUCED RAILWAY RATES.

The annual report of the Great Nor
them railway shows total trackage in
the system of $3.50 miles an increase of
299 miles since the last report. 1t was
estimated in the report of last year that
the reduction of wheat rates on account
of the opening of the New Fosston and
Duluth line, would reduce the revenue
about 81, 100000 This years report shows
the reduction to be a little over SSl5,0OO,
the average reduction amounting to one
and one-third cents per bushel, which
went to the profit of the farmer. There
was a general reduction in all rates, but
the increase in business was sufficient
to carry the total earnings Of the fiscal
year to nearly three millions in excess
of last year, most of which was used in
the betterment of the line. Nothing per-
haps better illustrates the growth of the
territory traversed by the road than the
increase in the amount of mail carried,
which exceeds by 80 per cent the total
earnings and weight of four years ago.
About the 18th inst, the company will
open up it's new line from Bonner s
Ferry, Idaho, to Port Hill, on kootenai
river, in British Columbia, which will
give steamer connections at Nelson with
the line from Spokane.

A BOLD STROKE.

George Stark, late from Wahpeton, n.
D., made a daring attempt last night, at
the point of a revolver, to recover some
money he lost in faro game in Mime
apolis. Had he not collided with a
passer-by, in Postoffice alley his capture
would have been doubtful.
Stark arrived in town week ago from
North Dakota where he had been work
ing as a farm hand, and Immediately
began to buck the faro game with rather
poor success. He visited the gambling
house on First avenue every day. losing
continually, until, becoming desperate by
his run of ill-luck, he determined to make
a bold strike for his money.
He presented a revolver to the dealer 3
head, and taking 1926 from the drawer,
skipped out. He was arrested and the
money secured by the officers. When
arraigned for trial no one appeared
against him. The money was returned to
him and he was released.
