AT THE MEMS CLUB.
Major r e. Dart Lectured L7st Night
on the "Tempest.H

Major r e. Dart Leotured List Night
on the Tempest"
II requires but two things to make
"a Shakespearean evening at the Mems
club a success, a good audience and a
good lecture. The combination was
complete last night and the evening an
enjoyable one. The audience was all
tEat could be asked while the theme
and the speaker was coordination
hard to beat
AS formally announced, the third
Of the series Of lectures inaugurated
by the executive committee Of the
Mems club, was delivered last night
by Major X. t. Dart, upon one OF
Sfakespeare's best, and PERHAPS, his
last play the Tempest"
Major Dart is well known IN Bruins
uick and elsewhere as a speaker and
il may be justly said that he is one
of ability, ana he certainly exceeded
the expectations Of his friends last
evening in his lecture in the Tempest.
His estimate Of Prospero. the great
character Of the play was one Of the
best we have ever heard whge his de
seription Of ne other characters was
entertaining md instructive
Theao Shekespearean evenings al
the club have at least demonstrated
tEat there is local talent in Brunswick
that has been smothered ana only
wanted an opportunity to burst forth
aud exhibit itself OF the three Icctur
es already delivered we will not say
which we consider the best We re
serve our opinion for the present.
The next Of the series Of lectures
win be delivered by Dr. Rede on the
fourth Tuesday evening in November
br. Rede's subject viii be announced
later. It is to be hoped that the peo
ple Of Brunswick will continue to pat
rcnize the Mems club and assist in
making each Tuesday evening sue

In Walla Walla county there has
been no fair test of the law. It's pro-
visions have been ignored by the coun-
" commissioners who have been run
ming things to suit themselves. The
law provides that for all road i'm
provementS to cost more than $3.50
the board shall advertise for bids, the
contracts being awarded to the lowest
bidders. but the commissioners have
ignored this provision and have au-
thorized the three supervisors to take
charge of all work, employing men and
buying tools and supplies at their dis
erection.
Under the contract system for which
the law provides work could be car
ried on simultaneously on roads in all
parts of the county, under the direction
of the supervisors, each for his own
district but under the illegal system
adopted by the commissioners each
supervisor serves as a contractor and
finishes one job before undertaking an
other.
