At the Theater.

The theater-goers Of Lewiston have
been enjoying rich treats i'll the line of
standard and classic drama, since John
5. Lindsay, the great western tragedian,
came to town. While the attendance has
been only fairly good, his performances
have all been first class and highly
deserving
In the character Of "Richelieu, the
great French Cardinal" last Saturday
evening, Mr.. Lindsay, with the strong
support that he has, gave one of the very
best performances ever presented iii this
city.
On Monday evening, "The Noble Out
cast" heavy comedy, was presented to
All appreciative audience.
On Tuesday evening the company was
greeted with the largest attendance dur
ing their stay, to witness the performance
of "Shylock, or the Merchant of Venice. "
In this, as i'll all of their preceding enter
tainments, no one was disappointed
Mr.. Lindsay, III the character of Shylock
the greedy money lender, appeared at
| his best and we doubt ie his delneations
| of that old Jew could be improved upon
so intensly natural was his every move.
ment.
The support that Mr.. Lindsay received
from Chas. Palnquidt as Gartiano, Ear
Webber as Bassinio and John Ryan a:
I4auncelot, was all that could be wishet
for from these gentlemen; as each ap
peared strong in his respective character
i Portia, the lady richly left, was as
sumed by Miss Luella Lindsay in
manner that did credit to herself, as wei
as the character she was portraying
This was the heaviest roll handled b,
this talented lady, during the week, ant
her many admirers were highly please'
with her clever work.

A couple of young men were arrested
in Pendleton last week OH complaint of
a nickle-in- the-sl owner for being able
to beat "sure thing" They were dis
charged because there was no ordinance
covering such an offense. The young
men have undoubtedly made study of
the machine, for they know exactly how
to make them cough up the coin. The
way they accomplish the trick is to go
to some electric light plant and charge
some nickles with electricity When
one in dropped into the machine it
comes in contact with an electric cut
off that holds the money in tube in the
machine, and, by holding down the
dial, the machine is emptied of its con-
tents. These young men worked several
machines, and it is not known how much
money they secured, but it is supposed
they worked the graft thoroughly as
they were willing to leave town the
morning after being released from GUS
ltody by the marshal.

Better Times Than Ever.

We shall witness here this year remark
able growth of population and wealth.
The conditions are all adjusted, says
the Spokesman Review. First, the OPP
portunities are here. Our lands are
cheap and productive. Weighing the
advantages of extensive railway mileage,
public highways, organized government,
improvements, schools, churches and
neighbors, water supply, climate and iin-
proving markets, lands are cheaper i'll
the Pacific northwest than i'll any other
section of the United States. This will
bring agricultural immigration.
Development has shown that the coun-
try surrounding Spokane has greater
number of booming mining camps than
any other section of the west. This will
bring mining immigration and capital.
We have here the finest forests on the
globe. and an increasing demand for
their products. This will bring log
ging and lumber manufacturing popula-
| ton.
Extensive railway construction is I'M
der progress. This will give employment
to several thousand wage-earners, and be
the means of developing remote sections
Back of these opportunities are 10000
600 people, with an ever-present element
alert to better its condition. The word
is passing around that success and for
tune await the industries in the Pacific
northwest. immigration has started
and the movement will increase. 1t IL
|probable that the states of the Pacific
northwest will double their population
| by 1905.

As far as Spokesnaan-Review cores
pondent can learn the damage to fall
sown grain in the Potiach is very light.
The winter has been the severest known
since 1889, the ground being covered
with snow continually. which accounts
for the grain escaping without being in
jured by the freezing weather. 1t Is esti-
mated that the amount of grain sown
last fall is greater than for some years,
the weather being very favorable for
plowing till late in the fall. With the
amount of snow the farmers are encour-
aged over the prospects for large crop
saying that the amount of moisture in
the ground is sufficient to carry the grain
through.
