tion association, in regard to the Ell
Paso convention states:
we are making every possible eff
fort to secure big, strong delegation
to represent the northwest at the ma
tional irrigation congress, Ell Paso,
Texas, November 1918, and, from pres
ent indications, believe that large
number will go. The late activity
along irrigation lines has greatly slim
ualted the interest in this years con-
vention, as has also the prospect of
securing the next congress for Port
land in 1905.
Over $4,000 is being expended for
entertainment purposes, which will in
clude banquets, balls, barbeques, smok-
ers, excursions, drilling contests, In
dian exhibitions, bull fights, etc. A
convention hall is being erected which
will comfortably seat 5000 people, and
there will be heard the addresses and
discussions prepared for the occasion.
Papers will be read and speeches
delivered by the most able propogan-
dists along their respective lines that
there are in the country. For conven-
fence, the program has been divided
into sections, each in charge of men
OF national reputation. Hon. Clifford
Pinchot, chief of the bureau OIL Tor
estry, will superintend the forestry
section. Chief Engineer F. H. Newell
Of the reclamation service will con-
duct the section devoted to engineer.
ing and mechanics. Climatology has
been placed in charge of Willis L.
Moore of the United States weather
bureau, and production by irrigation
will be handled by several well known
lirrigationists. Hon. George H. Max
well Of the National Irrigation asso
citation has in charge the section OF
land and water legislation, which sub
ject will be the paramount issue of the
congress.
whether he be patriot, philanthro
pist, business man or money getter
of the most selfish type, it is up t.
every broad minded citizen of the
country to bestir himself on this sub
lject, post himself regarding the de
tails, and, if possible, attend this vi
tally important meeting and supper
the cause he knows is right"

here five days out from that port with

ing to the high prices of food and other

approached.
Ships laden with food, cannon, am.
munition and all sorts of military sup.

says that five ships engaged in un
loading their cargoes were in port
when the fungus sailed.

the strength of the garrison, but he
says that everybody at Vladivostol
seems to be either an officer or an
ordinary soldier.

YEATS PLAYS ARE ON.
Margaret Wycherly Will Be Seen
in Two Creations at the
Alcazar

A performance of more than usual
interest is announced for tomorrow
afternoon at the Alcazar Theater,
when Miss Margaret Wycherly will
present two plays by the Irish poet,
William Butler Yeats, hitherto unseen
in this city. They are: Land of
Hearts Desire and 1.-The Hour Glass"
and in each Miss Wycherly will be
supported by a specially selected COM
pany of players picked from two of
the New York companies now appear
ing in this city.
The Yeats plays are considered by
critics to be the best yet written by
this brilliant author. Land of Hearts
Desire is fairy drama, telling
simple, direct story of peasant life in
Ireland hundred years ago. In THE
Hour Glass Miss Wycherly will have
a more important part, that of a half
witted, merry young fellow of 16. The
play is written in the style of the old
morality plays and is very dramatic in
its action. Special pains have been
taken with the stage setting and the
costuming of both plays and a thor
oughly adequate presentation of Mr..
Yeats work will be made. The ut
most reverence has been preserved in
staging The Hour Glass" which, like
all morality plays, is semi-religious in
tone.
Most of the Irish and literary socie-
ties of the city have rallied to the sup
port of Miss Wycherly in her venture
and a crowded house is assured.

claimed a scene from the Soudan war
and John /. Jaunet sang tenor solo.

Harry Kelly. Camille Lahanier, Will
liam r. Rayne, Miss Lucie Gless and
Miss Alice Nevraumont impersonated
the characters and were heartily an
plauded for their efforts.

prelude to the second part Miss Evelyn
Peters executed several selections on
the violin and Miss Charlotte Bulotti
