INTERVIEWS AT LONG RANGE.

mint:-There is the greatest amount
of land speculation going on west of
Chicago that has ever been known in
that part of the country. believe the
banks out there are loaning good deal
of money on these land enterprises
and that this is really the secret of the
early movement of money westward.
The people are everywhere organizing
syndicates to buy land and there is
hardly crossroads community in Iowa
that has not organized a syndicate to
operate in the Dakotas or in Canada.
Prices have advanced so per cent in
the last two years and the upward
movement seems still on. The migra-
ton into Canada is becoming notable.
Somebody has estimated that $4,000

to people from this side of the line.
w. o. Sears of Des Moines The
turkey crop in Iowa this year will not
be rs per cent of what it was a year
ago. Wet weather is responsible for
this condition. AS is well known the
turkey has never come to be a wholly
domeSticated fowl. 1t likes the barn
yard at meal time, but it has a habit
of roosting in trees, and invariably
steals its nest, its whereabouts gener-
ally unknown to poultry raisers until
it comes in with the brood. The wet
weather has not been conducive to
Matching of big broods. Probably 60
per cent of the eggs were ruined be-
fore Matching by moisture. From infor-
nation have would say that the con-
ditions prevailing in Iowa will govern
in most of the western states, and that
the supply will be very short and
prices SO high as to be almost pro-
hibitiye except to the very well to do.
From all quarters the same story of
small broods comes would not be
at all surprised IL the dressing and

In her active career she has played nearly 250 different roles including many of the classics-Ros- alnd, Juliet and Camille being numbered among her greatest successes. Her fol- lowing Is due to her personality as we'll as to her art. Of a warm, feminine type her successes have been won in depicting the highest examples of womanhood.

Dixey, Wilton Lackaye, Joseph Holland, Ferdi- nand Gottschalk, Hobart Bosworth. AL fred Fisher, Madge Carr Cook, Lucille Spinney Adele Harrington, Rose Bra ham, Maud Moffat, Lillian Wright. Rob- ert Dudley, William Moore and George Eichel; but casual glance is needed to determine the worth of this company, in- cuding as it does, so many talented &C., tors whom theater-goers delight to honor.
 It is high class stock organization and is one of the best dramatic companies organized within years. From all ac- counts. not only is Miss Bingham admir- ably fitted in "A Modern Magdalen," which is the bill for the week, but each of the favorites have prominent roles, and 1t Is said that the performance has all the brilliant finish attained by the late Augustin Daily fin his admirable pro- ductions.

Miss Bing- ham has left nothing undone in the way of production of this play, and the gowns and jewels displayed in the third art.
 "A Modern Magdalen'' comes here with a record of three months. at the Biiou theater, New York, where it created as great a sensation as '"The Climbers.' and IS an adaptation from the Danish by Had uon Cnambers. the well-known English playwright and author of .'The Tyranny or Iears' It's story deals with social

THEATRICAL NOTES.

There are twenty-six musical numbers In San Toy most of which have become popular with the music loving portion of the public. The com pany presenting 'fSan Toy" this season is much the same as that which was seen in it last season. both len tour" and In New York city.
 Innes and his band will be one of the musical events of the winter. The or ganization has been criticized for playing music too classical for the lay mind. Be- ing better known as a profound than as a frivolous writer of music himself, and as student of the classical composers, 1t may be that Innes has weakness for the composition of master minds. But Innes is known as one of the greatest programme makers and in arranging his entertainments, he shows himself to have the tact of good business man and has, in making up the programme for the coming tour. given space to the popular music of the day.

 Charles IT. Hanford was recently asked why he did not yield to the furore for dramatlzed novels.

While I am glad to see every man reap the full reward of his brains, I must confess that I do not think the process of dramatizing stories which subordinated the playwright to the author and the pub fishing house is conducive to artistic re- suits.
