MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE KENNEDYs.


The organization known as the kenne-
dy Players appeared to good advantage
last evening at the Portland Theatre,
presenting the well known play oil
Faust The ladies occupying reserved
seats were given pictures OF Miss Nellie
Kennedy and Mr.. Kennedy, as souvenir
OF the present engagement, which will
conclude today, when two gooi pieces are
offered-this afternoon "Faust, ~ and
tonight "Tom Sawyer" 1t should not
tie forgotten that this is amateur
night" and the performers have lot OF
fun tucked up their sleeves, which will
be brought out on this occasion.
WAITE COMEDY COMPANY.
The Waite Comedy Company, which
has held the boards OF the Jefferson Thea
tire the past week, viii offer today at the
matinee performance "a Man from the
South" TO be followed tonight by THE
Black Flag Proof of this popularity
OF this organization Is in the fact that
this present engagement is extended to
include the coming week, the initial
performance Monday night being 1.-The
Man from Cattaraugus," In which MIR.
Waite will make his first and only ap-
pearance in the cast. Many novel feat
ures are In contemplation in the way of
sDsoialties and social attractions, 50 that
it is safe to say that the crowded houses
OF this week will tie duplicated.
BURTON HOLMES.
The opening sale of seats for thu Burton
Holmes lectures. which occurred at Ores
sey, jones g. Aliens last Thursday,
argues we'll for crowded house when
Mr.. Holmes delivers his opening lecture
In the series Thursday evening, Jan. 24th
! atCity hall. Although there was large
advance sak, the beet seats ara not all
taken and some Of the most desirable yet
remain. Those who are In the habib of
delaying buy ing their tickets ~antil the
last minute, should not do so In this
case, as this promises to be the most In
teresting series OF illustrated lectures
ever delivered In this city. The opening
lecture, "The Edge OF Cnina,'' is of more
than surprising interest just now. and
a crowded house should greet Mr..
Holmes.

THE VALLEYS CF THE COLORADO.

Several miles above Yuma, in the neighbor hood of Explorers Pass near the Purple Hills, the great Colorado River Valley proper com menceS. From this point northerly the river is shut in by cliffs which, with intervening noun tain systems, absolutely preclude the possibility of canal construction. Passing southward. the cliffs are seen to gradually disappear until they become merged in the low bottom lands. The bottom meanwhile widenS with every mile until the Gulf of California is reached. There are large quantities of land which could be made productive were irrigation practicable These are general fertile bottoms inclining toward the river and covered in spots with dense under growth and cottonwood and mesquite trees. Considerable of the valley is raised above the river as much as 100 feet, and to this height water must be brought, as the bottoms are dur Ing certain months completely overf1Owed by the waters of the swollen streams The soil is extraordinarily rich and particularly adapted to the cultivation of sugar rice, and all the tex tile plants, in addition to an extended list of tropical, semitrOpical, and temperate products. According to a careful chemical analysis the ferUiliZing mud carried by the Colorado closely resembles that of the waters of the Nile, while its volume at low water has been estimated by competent authority as sufficient to easily irri gate more than ,750,000 acreS.''
 The lands Of the lower Colorado River Valley have not b9en developed very extensively owing to the litigation over what is known as the AlgodOneS land grant, which has been in the courts for the last decade. The veXed question has lately been settled by the U. $. Supreme Court in favor of the government.

THE CHA VALLEY.

The Gila valley extends from the Gila canyon near the junction of the San Pedro river, west erly to the east bank of the Colorado, distance of slightly exceeding 25O miles, That portion of it situated in the county of Yuma, known as the Lower Gila valley, is about 100 miles long and from to 10 miles wide, all of which is suscept- ible Of proG able cultivation. The river from which it takes it's name cuts the valley in two. Its watershed extends some 30 miles north and upward of 50 miles south of it's channel, the land from either extreme inclining more or less rapidly toward the stream. The Gila traverses a maryelouSly fertile country, very great in extent, and splendidly adapted to the cultivation of nearly all the products of the temperate and semi-tropic zones, besides many of the fruits common in the tropics. Nor is this longer matter of idle speculation, for fiOurishing ranches in various portions of the valley, drawing water from several important canals, amply demonstrate tic magnificent results that will cnsue should the water supply be rendered permanent, equable and adequate through appropriate storage systems.
 This consists of a broad e,1panse of tillable valley land. sometimes overfowed by the river which is at times mighty uncertain, and steep range of volcanic hills coming close to the high ways for dozen miles CT so, hot. heavy, sandy. 1t is hardly fair to say sandy as it is really a friable alluvial soil of grayish hue and loose texture. Several ranches arc passed, showing that the Gila bottom Ii cultivated. With irri- gation every square mile of the Gila valley is capable of producing prolific crops of grain and scmi-tropical fruits, as well as cotton and sugar in great abundance. The river is able to fur nsh all the water needed and a good deal more. It would take no great skill in engineering and not a very large sum of money either 10 con

Oklahoma City Oct. l5.-The members

Prominent men from Oklahoma and IN

Lawton, o. T., oct. 15.-Some excite

ESCAPE OF
NOTORIOUS
SOL TEMPLE:
Outlaw Walks Out of Jail at
Pond Greek.
LOCKS UP HIS JAlLOR
Had Three Hours Start of His
PursuerS.
WIFE GIVES HIM A GUN
Criminal Colleagues Probably
in the Plot.

Pond Crelle. 0. T. Oct. 5.-soI Temple,
J., the notorious criminal and outlaw. is
again at large. This afternoon about 3
O'Clock he walked out Of the Grant county
Jan unmolested and was gone three hours
before he was missed. When an officer
went TO give supper to the prisoners he
found the regular jaHor, who had been
missing for several hours, in the cell oc-
cupied during the past Few months by
Temple
The escape occurred this way, as near
us could be learned The wife of TEN
pie smuggled a revolver into him this
morning. This afternoon the jailor was
showing the prison to a young man who
desired to see it. Temple covered them
both and made the jailor give up the
keys lie then bound and gagged the
jailor and his visitor and after locking
them up in cell walked deliberately out
and escaped.
When 1t was known that Temple had
made his escape and the means he re-
sorted to in getting away, there was much
excitement at Pond Creek. Posses were
at once organized to pursue him. but he
had q good start and there is but little
hope Of bis capture. It is thought that
some OF mis- old partners in crime had
provided accommodations 10 take him out
Of the country.
Sheriff Butts is much chagrined over
the escape and he viii make every effort
TO catch him. it IS thought that he can
not DO it without n hght and hard one,
IS Temple has undoubtedly desperate
friends. In fact. his criminal friends We're
so daring as 80 plan his rescue when
Sheriff Butts was bringing him down
from Leavenworth, where he was ar
rested after a long search. some time ago.
Temple has many Of the qualities of the
old-time Oklahoma outlaw. He is spec
tacular IN his methods and has a faculty
for capturing. binding, gagging and lock
ing up officers of the law. He became
notorious first by capturing officers who
were pusuring him and locking them up
nan old abandoned dug-iut where they
almosl starved to death before being res
cued.
