upon securing such a good attraction
Mrs. Jennie Houghton Edmunds. of
Seattle. d Walla Walla. favcrite is in
attendance and renders vocal solos, ac-
companied by the band. She sang
beautifully last night and her reception
was very gratifying.
John Morrison, the popular baritone,
is also on the program and his singing
last night was greatly enjoyed.
Sidney and Elmo, the musical team.
came in for their share of applause and
numbers on the program. The instru-
ments they use include all the iatest
manufactured and several new inven-
tons are shown.
The band rendered several excellent
selections last night. This organiza-
ton has made rapid progress under
the leadership of Prof V. F. Marine.
and in the rendition of the numbers
last night demonstrated that much i'm
ganization in the past six months
A complete change in the program
will be made each evening during the
week
The band has decided to keep the
hall open in the afternoon Of each day
in order that those who are interested
in fancy work may have an opportun-
ity of viewing the numerous costly and
handsome articles that are offered for
sale at the different booths An at
tendant will be present and all who
desire can make purchases at private
sales.
With good weather there is every
reason for the band to expect even
larger crowds this year than attended
last season.

In view of the fact that the fire in
surance companies have sustained
heavy losses in the Baltimore fire, we
wish to inform our patrons of the abil-
ity Of the companies We represent to
take care of the losses that fall to their
lot. The II companies represented by
us held insurance i'll the burnt district
to the amount of $4,115,0O0 which
will be paid promptly without
in any way affecting their business.
Each of these companies have a sur
plus to policy holders and capital stock
many times greater than the amount of
their loss. The losses will be paid out
of the surplus. Some of the foreign
companies have cabled that their
losses will be paid out of surplus held
in Europe, leaving the surplus heid in
the United States intact.

BIG CARNIVAL OPENS

Last Night.

Attendance Expected
BEAU [IfUL DECORATIONS OF HALL

The third annual midwinter carnival
of the Walla Walla Military band was
opened in Armory hall last night. and
despite the stormy weather fair
sized crowd was in attendance.
The hall has been beautifully decor
ated this year and it presented very
pretty appearance last night. The
anything ever attempted before along
that line in Walla Walla.
The balcony has been extended
around the entire room and it provides
a large number of seats. which
will afford accommodation for the
large crowds that are expected to at
tend during the week.
Below the new balconies are located
the booths. in which are displayed
some of the finest novelties ever ex-
hibited in Walla Walla. Each booth is
presided over by accommodating at
upon the customers.
The country store has been enlarged
and last night it was the main place
of attractions. The goods for sale in
the store are nearly all of good value
ana many high priced articles are
vended by the vaudeville which has
charge of this department of the car
nival.
The entertainment provided for the
public is certainly the best ever Of
fered to the people of Walla Walla.
The main attraction is the Malvern
Brothers. a splendid team of acrobats.
They give an excellent exhibition of
high class tumbling and air work and
their featS are something out of the
ordinary. The second turn of this
combination is also a good piece of
work. 1t is what is known as the trick
cottage act. which not only furnishes
much comedy but gives the Malverns
an opportunity to show what they can
do in knock about tumbling. This
team is one of the best in the country
and the band is to be congratulated

Ills protrayal of the character would
seem to leave nothing to be desired.
From start to finish there is not one

about rs near real life as anything can
ever be in dramatic art. For the time
being he was the chief justice i'll Very

His work was all the more vivid by

A VALUABLE GOLD STRIKE
Reported from San Juan County, Col.
orado.

Special advices to the Boston
Transcript from Colorado give in
formation of a gold strike in San Imam
county that will be pleasant reading
to Il number of Maine people who are
Interested in the property named.
Probably one of The largest known
veins in Colorado is the one recently
exposed in the Gold Prince mines at
Silverton and known as the Mastodon
vein. This is one of a number of
veins in the Gold Prince mines owned
almost entirely by eastern capital. and
the striking of the Mastodon vein at a
great depth is the result of driving a
big tunnel by compressed air drills
during the past eight months.
This vein, where it was first cross
cut, is fifty-two feet in width and car
rics excellent values in gold, silver and
lead. The drift work has opened I'D
a four-f foot streak of high-grade ore.
from which samples We're taken aver
aging seven ounces in gold. and some
Of the silver ore has shown from 100
TO 400 ounces to the ton.
The old tWenty-StamD mill already
on the property and formerly owned
by the SunnySdr Extension. which
has 4 record of nearly 100000 pro-
duced in a very crude way, has been
purchased by the Gold Prince mines.
and modern machinery has been in
stalled in place of the old-time bump
ing tables.
A mill-run has just been made for
testing the ore from the Mastodon.
and q sample taken from the concern
traitor gave 5.12 ounces gold, which.
together with the silver and lead val
ues. makes a total of nearly 5000 to
the ton of concentrates.
A letter received by the MANAGE
ment, this week states that another
cross-cut made at another point on
the big vein is already in over 100
feet and the wall has not Vet been
reached. 1t is the intention of the
company to install Il large mill next
season at Animas Forks and to con-
meet mill ard mines by an aerial tram
way 2L miles in length. the survey
for which has already been completed
