THEATER CoMIQUE.

Just when and where the modern
stage was first conceived is unknown
at the present day, and the visitor ut
the Theatre Comique, at 706 Main
avenue. forgets all about the history Of
thed rama, or the opera, as soon as the
curtain rises. He has other things to
think about, and settles himself com
fortably to enjoy an evening of high
class vaudeville. The past century gave
us the opera of Wagner, the symphony
of Beethoven and the songs of Schubert,
and we had stamped indelibly upon our
memory such names as Schumann, Men
delssohn, List, Rossini, Rubensteln
and many others, while Edwin Booth
gave us great tragedy and we enjoyed
the consummate art of the master come
dian, Jeqerson. But in the vaudeville
stage we see the greatest development
and its popularity at the present time
is making vast inroads into the ranks
of the patrons of opera and drama. The
American people are seeking lighter
vein. The strain brought upon their
nerves by the swift rushing torrent OF
gigantic business enterprises causes
them to seek those places of amuse-
ment where there is the least constra'nt
and where they can indulge in restful
mirthfuness to their hearts content.
Such a place is the Theatre Comique
with its weekly changing program and
high class vaudeville and dramatic art
lists. This place of amusement was cs-
tablished in it's present building in ISs9
and ever since ia Openinp NIGHT has

was Mr. Bahn's intention to have moth
ing but the best and that he succeeded
is getting it is demonstrated by the
fine, large stock of delightfully."- fragrant
cigars, delicious chocolates, dainty bon
bons, and luxurious sweets, whose at
fractions are well-nigh irresistible by
man. woman or child. Although Mr..
Balm has just opened his establishment,
he is by no means inexperienced in
business, as is attested by his choice If
location and stock. He already enjoys
a large and ever-growing patronage,
which foretells his future success. As
an evidence of his success is the fact
that he will in the near future open
an elegantly equipped parlor from which
he will serve excellent coffee and all
kinds of hot drinks at popular prices.

are so private bathroom suites which
are models of luxury, and elegant par
Tors on every floor. The hotel is run on
the European plan, while handsome
public and private dining rooms are
run in connection, where everything
desirable in the bill of fare of a first
class restaurant is served in the best
style known to the culinary art. Its
bar and billiard hall is the center of
Spokane's business and mining life, and
is renowned for its choice liquors and
the superb vintage of its wines, many
of which are imported direct from the
vineyards of Europe. Messrs. Norman,
tn e courteous proprietors, are well
known for their unexcelled ability ss
hosts, while their success as owners and
managers of one of the largest hotels
in the country is attested by the popu.
larity and large patronage of The Hotel

HOTEL VICTORIA,

The year 1908 will be notable for the
completion and opening of the Victoria
Hotel, a splendid structure of seven
stories, occupying 75xl00 feet of ground
In this handsome building and in the
excellence of the hostelry Spokane has
of architectural magnifcence and the
pride of fashion. 1t gives to the city
one Of the most excellent hotels in the
Northwest, and an ornament among
the buildings which reflect the surpris-
ing progress of this new and progressive
part of the continent. 1t is no dispar-
agement to Spokane to say that visitors
from abroad could hardly expect to find
a hotel OF seven stories, with every
modern convenience, in this part of the
country. But such is the progressive
spirit of Spokane and such the consum.
nation of this year, and the Hotel Vic.
toria stands as a monument to the
genius, the enterprise and faith of Spo
kane people. 1t is the mostm odern and

JOHN NICHOLS SALOON.

To many men of Spokane this is one
of the most attractive resorts in the
city, made so in part by the cordial
treatment accorded at the hands of the
genial proprietor. who is one of the
most courteous, obliging and consider
ate saloon men to be found, but in
greater part by the fact that Mr.. Mich
OILS keeps an up-to-date saloon, at sos
Front avenue. By this we mean that
he keeps the best wines and liquors on
the market. and his many patrons are
aware that they can always obtain the
genuine article. Mr.. Nichols keeps n
large stock of the finest wines from
California and the vintages of Europe
and the most favored brands of old
Kentucky bourbon and Pennsylvania

wnAr is the matter witch the peo.

WHAT is the matter with the peo-
Pile OF this section of West Virginia
any way? Are they so absorbed in
making money at this time that they
have no thought Of the future? Men
are here bending every energy to Sc
cure manufactures for this section,
and yet they stand idly by and watch
tremendous movement to rob our
splendid country of the only real
treasure 1t has. The future OF Har-
rison county as well as of those
adjoining depends largely upon our
natural resources. This is especially
true in reference to our natural gas.
There Is not shadow of doubt that
plans are developing to pipe it all
away from us. The fact is that it is
already being piped out of the state
and other communities are enjoying
the benefits, while we are getting alb
solutely nothing out of 1t. Why are
we so uncencerned in this county ?
That we are, is discredit to us. 1t
shows that we are not half so anxious
to secure industries and buildings and
build up the county, as we make it
appear. Part of the energy we are
spending to get factories ere-slould
be devoted to keeping our induce
ments at home. Not a mao SO far
as GIN be learned has shown enough
interest in home protection to go to
Charleston and fight for the passage
, of Senator Coles bill to put tax on
all gas piped from this state. They
show no anxiety over the matter, ex-
cept TO stay at home and to say to one
another that the bill is good thing
and ought to become law. That ap.
pears to be the height of their ambi-
tion, and, If the Legislature fails to
pass it, then will there go up howl
that that body did not do its duty.
There is no necessity to go to Charles
ton as lobbyists in the matter. The
idea is to go there and impress upon
the members OF that body the import
ancc of the passage of such law. The
