COLLECTOR iDE TO RETALIATE
Measure Aimed at British Columbia
Lunbermen to be lnforced.

PORT TOWNSEND, Feb. 21.-COl
lector lde has decided to enforce what
aimed at British Columbia lumbermen.
A law passed last fall in the Domin-
ion and recently put in force imposes
a duty on sawlogs and shingle bolts
exported from British Columbia ter
Sitory. The operation of that law will
make it Improbable for Puget Sound
lumbermen to buy logs from their
neighbors to the north. and the bust
ness carried on in this line will be
practically cut off.
The retaliatOry action is that of i'm
posing an import duty on all Canadian
manufactured lumber of $3.50 per 1o30
feet over and above the rates imposed
by the tariff act.
Duty That Is Imported.
This act imposes a duty of 81 per
1000 for rough lumber: planned on one
side. 30 cents additional: on two sides
81. and SO on.
The tax of $3.50 is that which might
have been placed on the rough ma
terial in the past. but which has beer
left off for want of an incentive. The
scale of import duty on the logs is {
sliding one. $3.50 being the maximum
and Collector Ide, not wishing to tax,
any chances, imposed the highest ia,
allowed by law
Letters of instruction on this poin
have been sent out to deputy collector
at all ports in this district. and tn
depa rtment at Washington was mott
fed in order that collectors in othe
districts may also take action.

Academy of Music.

DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" will be the at
traction of the Academy stock company
for the forthcoming week. DIR Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde long ago proved itself a virile
piece of stagecraft, possessing a large
measure of originality in theme and ac-
tion. At the time the story was put on pa
per by Robert Louis Stevenson it provoked
a sensation. A successful book proved a
strong incentive for aspiring playwrights
to attempt the making of stage versions,
and Richard Mansfield and Daniel Band
mann. the veteran actor, were among the
first in the field. In the Academy stock
company production Ben F. Wilson, the
leading man. will essay the dual role Of
Jekyll and Hyde. Mr.. Wilson has been
seen in the piece elsewhere. and is reported
to have given good rendering Of the part.
Others in the cast will be Miss Carol Ar
den. who has been cast as Alice. Jekyl1s

The offering next week in the Aborn opera
season at the Lafayette will be a revival
of The Belle of New York. OF all the
long-lived and successful musical comedies
produced in late years, the popularity Of
The Belle of New York" stands ont as
most remarkable. Following it's long New
YORK run and success in other American
cities a new production was made for nre
sensation in London where it caught the
public fancy equally as strong as in Amer
lea. and several companies are still play-
ing 1t in the English provinces South Afri

Elsie Janis. still favo:ite in the vaude-
vile theaters Miss Janis will be cast in
the role of Mile. Fiji, part particularly
well-suited to her personality. and one that
will give her an opportunity to display her
talents IN mimcry. She has added many
new limitations to her repertoire since she
was last seen in Washington.
Miss Janis entry upon a theatrical career
followed natural inclination. Her
mother. who always travels with her. was
a teacher of elOcution in Columbus. Ohio.
When just able to toddle around, Little
Elsie used to delight in perching on chair
in the recital room to watch the pupils
at their Tectations. At the end of the
lesson she would slide from her seat to
the floor and initiate the mannerisns of
different pupils, to the great delight of the
entire class. She displayed such a re-
markable perception of details and so nat
ural power of impersonation that her
mother decided to develop the tendency by
taking her to the theater often that she
might see and learn to initiate the favor
ties of the stage. 1t was not long be-
fore she was giving her Characterization
before local audiences. and from that 1t
was but a step to the vaudeville stage.
