Edward Fournier, the new manager Sc
cured by Mr.. Larson for Yakima's beau
tiful new theatre, has had several men at
| work perfecting few minor details
about the stage and stated to a reporter
that on the opening night TUESDAY the
1lth) everything will be in readiness for
Russell and Drew's great scenic produce
ton of "Qno Vadls.'' This great relig-
ious play is a dranatization of Sienkie.
Wits famous romance, book that has
been read more widely than any other
the past two years. The play appeals
strongly in setting forth graphic pic
ture OF debauchery and RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
the period when the Roman Empire was
at it's height under Nero and brings out
wildly the desperate struggle OF the
Christians against the despot and his
court. The scenery is striking and no
stage spectacle ever witnessed can equal
the graphic picture OF the burning Of
Rome. The martyrdom OF the early
| Christians is an impressive spectacle and
the play is one long to be remembered by
those who witness it.
The streets are lively with people and
many hop pickers are now here having
come by wagon, train and on horseback.
The Indians are arriving daily and on
| Wednesday a large crew of colored people
came in from Roslyn. Tents and various
kinds OF camps are to be seen along all OF
| the water courses while q number of hop
yards have already received their quota
Of pickers. In several of the yards pick.
ing has been started and in the big His
cock yard of 80 acres active operations
we're begun this morning. There was
some fear OF shortage Of pickers but the
belief at present is that there will be an
adequate force.
Mrs. Rinehart has engaged the services
