AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

It is a surprise and almost a shock
to the ghosts of past successes in the
theaters to have a creditable production
of one Of The late iamentcd Charles
Hoyt's farces sparkle behind the foot
lights. "A Hole in the Ground" spark
led at the Crawford last night to a larga
audience II was surprise ia many
ways; a surprise for "a large audience
to gather for the event. a surprise shat
the farce was well done. If Hoyt were
to see how some Of ms pieces are being
murdered for a few paltry dollars each
night he might turn over H. his grave
but If he then saw "A Hole in tha
Ground" he could take another turn ana
sleep on. The old satire upon uuac-
commOdating railroad employees and the
woes Of the local railroad travelling pub
lie is just as funny as ever If it be iu
the hands Of funny people. p. T.

Seeing us staring at him, he droppe'
his comb into his hair again and wen

he was about ready. He put down tn
comb, put on his coat and hat, an
picked up his overcoat.

Of our present mining laws for the bet
ter protection Of our mining industries.
1t would perhaps be well for the commit
tee to investigate this matter and re-
port their findings to the members OF
the Oregon Legislature, which convenes
on Monday next, at Salem.
We need funds, and II the committee
on ways and means, together with the
committee on entertainment, can sug-
gest or devise whereby means can be
raised, through street fair or some
other kind Of entertainment, they will
greatly assist in carrying out the objects
Of the club.
| would further recommend to the
committee on literature and exhibits,
that as soon as the mining exhibit has
been placed, that suitable literature be
prepared for showing up the varied re-
sources and advantages Of our county.
Let an article be prepared on our mines
by some we'll known mining man, and
on agricultural resources, by some ono
qualified to write such an article. Let
the numbering interests bo written up
by numbering man, and the history OF
the county, with its development to the
present time, and its future possibilities,
be given in charge Of some one well
posted on that subject. In my judge
. ment, each Of these articles should first
r appear in our local papers over the
7 signature Of the writer, and later be put
(. in pamphlet form for free distribution.
n BY the foregoing suggestions l have
:. by no means exhausted the possibilities
/ Of work to be done by the several com

In my opinion the mining interests Of
Josephine county are on the eve oil re-
ceiving greater attention now than ever
before in the history Of this section OF
the country.
What we need is capital, and II this
committee can assist in any way to in
spire confidence and attract capital for
the development Of our mineral resource

which will make Josephine county one
of the wealthiest counties in the state
