Complaints have reached the humane
society from nearly every stockman
in eastern Washington that the mud
in the stockyards of the railroad COM
pany is over a foot deep and that I'M
less the yards are cleaned cattle will
not be shipped here. According to
Humane Officer Draper it is an i'm
possibility for stock Of any kind to
lie in mud foot deep. Much of the
stock, according to Mr.. Draper, after
being 4S hours without food, are put
in the yards in a miserable condition.
1t is claimed the railroad is RESPONSE
BILE for the conditions.
Officials of the line say that condi-
lions have been painted much worse
than they really are, but at that they
admit it is bad enough. They say the
matter has not before been brought
to their attention in such a light as
this. Steps will Immediately be taken
to remedy the matter and work will
likely be started getting in new turf
and otherwise improving conditions at
the yards.

"Reuben il New York"

No funnier play than Reuben in New
York" will be seen in this city this sea-
son, if reports are any criterion. The
piece abounds in absurd situations in
which Reuben always lands on top.
Imagine real good naturcd farmer in
New York for the first time, and every
body ready to give him the glad hand
and then part him from his money.
The roof garden scene is said to be
side splitting, and the jealous husband
in his hunt for the man whom he thinks
has stolen away his wifes affections,
gives ample room for the comedians
and pretty girls, OF which they take full
advantage. First class specialties are
intersperscd through the piece by clever
vaudeville stars. Reuben in New

Monday evening, April il. The seat

O'clock.
