opened in blaze of glory Saturday
night and Manager Merrill found it
necessary to give three performances
in order to take care of the large
crowds.
Long before the doors opened, long
line waited ON the street in front of
the neat little place of amusement and
within a few minutes 1t was necessary
to close the doors, so great was the
crush.
The program is top notcher. Ev-
erything neat, entertaining and anus
ing, and every word and action free
from coarseness and lowness.
The Renne family is the leading at
traction, and more than good. The
family consists of the father, mother
and three little tots of 3, 4 and 8 years
old. They do number of pleasing
specialties, including the Italian street
song, Swiss warbling, jew song and
dance and an American song.
Divine Dodson, character imperson-
ator and singer, had majority of the
audience guessing clear through his
turn as TO whether he was a man or a
woman, and brought down the house
with his clever impersonations.
Smith and Chester, operatic duet
lists, have pleasing voices and received
a number Of encores.
Pearl Grayson sang the illustrated
song, "When We Were Boys" and
has a sweet voice.
The moving pictures are new and
novel,
The same program will be on tonight
aud the people of Salem can rest as
sured that they will enjoy it, The
Uniform price to any seat in the house
is popular with the vaudeville goers

ing, December 9th, there is one setting
which probably does more than any
other ever designed to preserve the at.

OF George II. This setting is repro
duction of the famous green room Of
the Theatre Royal, Convent Garden,the
House in which Mistress Wofington won
her first London success, and which is
utilized even uow for the occasional
renderings Of grand opera. The second
act Of "Pretty Peggy" transpires in
this apartment, where the young favor
lite has gathered the wits, the beaux
and the beauties of the capital to dine
with her after the performance.
This attraction is under the direction
of the well-known producers Arthur c.
Aiston and J. Emmett Baxter.

SANTE FE
TRAIN
HELD UP

San Bernardino, Dec. 5.--The Santa
Fe overland, No. l, was held up last
night, between Daggett and Ludlow,
and Express Messenger Roberts was
shot. He is suffering too much to give
an idea of the amount of money stolen,
but states that the robber, supposed to
be Il negro, and wearing cap, entered
the rear door of the car by breaking the
chain.
Messenger Roberts was shot down be-
tween Ludlow and Daggett, on the des-
ert. When the agent at Daggert pound.
ed on the door for admittance he was
unable to hear a sound. The conductor
entered the front door, and found the
messenger in n pool of blood. The lat.
ter gaspingly told him that two men,
who said they were messengers, un
locked the door and pushed it open,
tearing the chain loose. They struck
him twice on the head, but he made an
effort to fight and was shot through the
breast The robbers looted the safe of
drafts and money to the amount of
$4,000. The robbers left the train as it
was entering Dagget. The robbery was
committed while travelling distance of
45 miles, and, as a heavy gale was rag
ing the trainmen could hear no sounds
The messenger was taken through to
Los Angeles, unconscious, and will die.
The robbers failed to get into the
through safe. The messenger said one
was white man and the other "A negro.

point Of ultra conservatism, is a
most excellent one. The fact Of the
business is, the financial condition
Of the town is too good. II consti

expenses, and has given entirely too
little thought to municipal improve

No town that ever amounted to a

Of private property, enabling its
owners to pay increased taxation,
aud yet receiving a direct profit. In

'.CHINOOk BELT" RUNS
THROUGH BLUE MOUNTAINS

One of the most remar kable fea-
lures connected with the natural for
nation Of Umatills county is what
10 recognized by every old-timer a.
the "chinook belt" Of the Pilot
Rock district.
No matter how much snow may
fall In the vicinity of Pendleton, and
the surrounding hills. on the
Tutuilla, Wild Horse and north Of
the city, there is strip of country
fifteen miles south Of this city that
enjoys warm current Of air. which
either prevents heavy fall of snow
when other portions Of the country
get 1t, or else melts the snowfall
away, Immediately, go that strip Of
country is bare most of the year,
although snow In great quantities
may be seen all around 1t.
There seems to be gap through
the Blue mountains which permits or
attracts . chinook wind every winter,
which keeps the foothills bare at all
times. Settlers out fifteen miles
south of Pendleton say that the re-
cent snowfall, which amounted to
eight inches In this city and the sur
rounding country, amounted to but
three and four inches In that chinook
belt, and that lasted but day or
two, when the bare hills began to
show through the snow.
Farmers aud stockmen who have
lived In that vicinity for years. say
1t is q regular occurrence, and not an

WALL STREET GETTING
WISE AS TO MINING.

The best advertising the west has
ever received was given It during the
year just closing BY the optimists Of
Wall street. The west has been the
only argument with which the stock
exchange croaker could be answered,
and the argument was repeated so
often that thousands Of investors east
of the Mississippi now believe 1t,
who never even thought of It before.
The prosperity of the western rail-
roads, the grain crops aud finally the
enormous output Of the mines, we're
all cited for the purpose of raising
the fallen spirits Of the stock pit.
And all the while the west looked on
the threatened ruin without "bat-
ting q winker." The spectacle Of
western confidence was truly impos
ing to the New Yorker, and as result
the latter has come to feel that there
was more truth than "hot air" In the
bullish oracles of the street. In bis
search for securities he is taking the
wise ones at their word aud looking
to the west for Investment Upportu-
mites. His faith has had enough In
securities and his stomach of indi-
gestibles.
Mining, above all other industries,
is about to command the energies Of
