MERIT AND APPRECIATION.

''The Tanning of the Shrew," by
the Hanford continuation, was pre-
sented at the opera houee, Thursday
evening, and proved success in
every respect, and the agreeable an
ticipations. of the audience were fully
satisfied by the perfect acting of all
members of the company And
there is, throughout the play, an
attention to details that evidences an
old time thoroughness. and that q
mind, competent TO interpret the sub
tie meanings Of the great author,
had directed the studies OF all even
the most minor parts.
The attendance was large, all the
seats being taken and occupied by
an appreciative audience of the best
people of Weiser, suggesting that
the love for the old and strictly
legitimate drama is still strong in the
hearts of the people, while the ephe
neral creations of today-blll board
attractions-are simply tolerated.

of what can be done in this superb
section in the way Of growing
things.
Writing on these matters under
the heading, "The New West" an
exchange says
This growing subject Is claim
ing the attention not only cf the
western press, but of the east as
well. The impetus given to the
development of the west s resour-
ces by the passage OF the irrigation
bill is far.reaching. As an adver-
tising medium, it has served the
purpose of awakening the world to
opportunities within the reach of
all. 1t has awakened an active
interest in both the homeseeker
and the speculator, with the result
that every train for the west is load
ed with immigrants, while the
spectators are investing IN a way
that not only insures confidence,
but improves the already prosper
Gus condition,
With the storage of water the
west can furnish homes for more
than 10, 900, 900 of people. She is
yet in her experimental stage.
Many industries that will prove
fortunes are yet to be tried, Her
beet sugar industry is but in its
incipiency, Multiplied factories
are to be erected during the next
few years. Her mineral resources
although they have already astoun-
ded the world, have hardly been
prospected. Her fine stock takes
first place wherever exhibited,
while her delicious fruits are with
out equal.
with the new impetus re-
ceived from the natioual govern
ment, she is to become the meca OF
the world. No other place can be
found where climate, soil and the
natural resources offers such induce
ments for the accumulation of
wealth.
