fine start was made when the direc-

tain-manager for the coming season.
He is away above the average himself
as a player and was unfortunate with
his club last season. He has been in
structed to get n better team and at
the same time keep within the salary
limit. He was one of the three mana
gers in the league that did that thing
during the season just closed and IL

Barbara Frietchie. "

There was crush at Larson's Friday
evening, the occasion being the James
Neill company's first visit to this city.
Barbara Frietchie" sectional drama
of unusual force, was the bill; and it's
portrayal by the superb Neill and his
talented company vas-well, if enthusi-
astic plaudits and vociferous curtain
calls are evidences of an audiences de-
lighted appreciation, then the Neill COM
pany certainly left a good taste in the
mouth. What North Yakima amuse-
ment seekers witnessed was true art in
its wholesome light and shade, with no
suggestion of trick or artificiality. They
saw typical home scene OF life in the
"Sunny South" and faithful, living
picture, respondent in special scenic ac-
cessories, of conditions as they existed
during the civil war. The various stu
atoms and climaxes of the play were ex-
ceedingly thrilling and realistic, espec-
tally so the final scene where Barbara,
while waving the stars and stripes from
the balcony porch OF her fathers house,
meets death at the hands of rejected
lover, driven insane by his heart sor-
row and the excitement of cruel war.
So true to life was this scene that the
audience as they filed out OF the theater
were unable to shake off the feeling of
settled gloom in which the last scene
had shrouded them. Edith Chapman
invested the title role with rare charm
and dainty grace. The play OF conflict
ing emotions on her countenance was
marvellous. Mr.. Neill gave an ideal
portraiture of Captain Trumbull, al
though that role does not give him ample
scope to display his brilliant histrionic
talents. The supporting roles were
in capable hands. Manager Fournier is
to be congratulated for having secured
an engagement from this high-class COM
bination.

"HumaE Hearts. A"

At Larson's Theater Wednesday even
ing full-sized audience greeted the
beautiful production "Human Hearts, ~
which has lost none of its attractive
features since the appearance of the
same company under the management
of w. Z. Vaudeville here year ago, and
the audience was none the less appreci-
alive OF the sterling merits of the piece.
The scenic establishment was first-class
and all the different characters were
faultlessly sustained by one of the most
capable companies on the road.
Mr.. Vaudeville announces that he has
booked with Manager Fournier for next
season "Sandy Bottom" romantic
drama by John Crittenden Webb. Not
unlike Human Hearts," the scene OF
the new play is laid in Arkansas, and is
a sweet, simple story of backwoods folk
the people of whom Opie Reed loves to
write-of characters tic incidents of that
section of the country, all told in pro.
vincial vernacular, which adds an in.
describable charm to the play.

The adagio and scherzo from NJ 'ndels-
sohns Scotch Symphony were played
very well; the peculiar wailing tones,
like the lament of clan, which runs
through the adagio, and the gay, dancing
strains of the scherzo, which make one
think of the highland fling and the pipes
coming over the hills, were given with
equal finish by the orchestra. Mr.
Rosenbecker has complete command of
his men and directs with a quiet force
and simplicity of manner good to see"

FRUIT GROWERS CONVENTION
F. waldron. Of zillah. Only Representative
from Yakima County.

Owing to the cold weather of last week
the attendance at the ninth annual
gathering of the Northwest Fruit Grow
ers' association at Walla Walla was
small, although there were representa-
tives from nearly all the fruit districts
of the northwest. F. Waldron, of Zil-
lab, was the only representative from
Yakima. Mr.. Waldron read paper be-
fore the convention anent the codling
moth, and said in part:
at is hardly necessary to inform a
company of fruit growers that the
ravages of the codling moth are great,
very great. Fred w. Card, in the bulle-
tin, issued by the Nebraska expert
mental station, in 1887, said OF this in
sect.
"'It has gone on its way from year to
year chewing up our apples and working
more injury than any other insect, it,,
indeed, not more than all others COM
bined.'
Where is the fruit grower with much
of an orchard who has been in the bust
ness any considerable length of time
and has not seen piles upon piles of his
best apples thrown away, or partially so,
because they were wormy and unfit to
ship to market? Millions and millions OF
dollars are lost every year by the ravages
of this insect in the United States. and
more in the great west than anywhere
else in proportion to what we grow.
What can we do? There is no panacea
for the ills we suffer from this pest We
never can get rid of it. The best We can
do is to reduce its injury to minimum.
But how? We must spray. Intelli-
gently, persistently; we must bandage
our trees and remove these once week.
In hot weather we must practice clean
culture we must encourage the birds
and raise chickens. Now, in addition to
this, or rather along with it, we must
not tolerate any slipshod methods OF
work, but everything must be done
thoroughly at the right time and in the
right manner"
