WALLA wALLA THEATER.
New Building VIII Be Erected at the
Garden City.

Calvin Helig, of the Northwestern
Theatrical association, is expected in
Walla Walla early next week to sign
up the papers relative to the leasing
of the new opera house that is to be
erected by DR.. H. R. Keylor, at the
corner of Alder and Fourth streets,
says the Walla Walla Statesman.
John B. Catron, who has been the
prime mover in bringing about the
opera house proposition, announced
this morning that most of the minor
details had been arranged. The con-
tract for moving the wooden building
now occupying the theater site has
been made and early next week the
work of clearing the ground will be
commenced.
The architect employed by the the
atrical association is expected to come
to Walla Walla with Mr.. Helig and
remain here until the plans and spec
ifications have been prepared.

Could Find Exit.
No more are the praises of Jalisco
being sung by 25 or 80 people of
this place who purchased lots in that
famous city of southern Mexico. In
stead of discussing the salubrious eli
mate and the wonderful resources of
the country lying between the Sierra
Madras and the Pacific coast, efforts
are now being made by investors to
learn whether or not the $3.50 or
$1,000 of Pendleton money which was
so invested by them was simply the
penalty of their gullibility.
The feature of the colonization
scheme which caused people to take
chance at the town site property
was the representation made that a
round trip ticket by rail could be
secured by purchasers of lots for $50.
Those who bought considered that
even should the land be worthless,
they would have at least secured a
trip to Mexico and return for SIS,
and that consequently they could
not be losers.
But when the announcement came
that the trip by rail was impossible
and that those going would be COM
PEELED to go by water from San Fran
cisco. paying $169.50 for the round
trip from this place, hope turned to
disappointment, and Jalsco stock
took a decided slump.
In the contracts which the COM
pany gave to purchasers the $50 trip
is not guaranteed. but in one section
free transportation is promised to the
representative of any club of 80 or
more on the opening day, which is
not designated. However, on Febru-
airy a telegram was received here
from j. H. Borders, of Kansas City,
secretary of the company, saying that
the rates would be about one-third
the regular fare, and that there
would be mobilizing points In each
state. One-third regular fare by rail
from Portland would be s50 and it
was upon this promise that the
scheme was worked here. However,
it was also represented by the agent,
]. ]. Clark, that such rates would be
given.
The final clause of the contract
has sinister meaning and is proba-
bly, the loophole through which the
company hopes to crawl in case of
criminal prosecution, should such be
brought against it. 1t is as follows:
"Eleventh-The company will not
be responsible for representations or
statements of its agents, other than
those found in its literature"

There is now little doubt but that
Prof. L. r. Traver, of Salem, will be
city superintendent of the local
schools during the coming year.
When first notified of his election by
the school board Mr.. Traver wired
that he would be here on Friday to
consider the matter. This answer
was not satisfactory to the members
,of the board, and fearing that he
might be seeking an increase in the
salary offered he was wired for an
immediate acceptance or rejection of
the offer made him. His reply, re-
ceived late in the afternoon yester-
day, was to the effect that the sal
airy was satisfactory and that he
would be here Friday to consult with
the board on other matters.
In view of the above it is felt by
members of the board that all will
be arranged harmoniously. 1t is the
wish of the board to leave the gov
ernment of the schools all in the
hands of the superintendent, conse-
quently there is little room for a
hitch upon that point.
Had Prof Traver's reply not been
satisfactory. it is probable that L. c.
Roberts, of Pullman, WASH, now at
the University of Chicago, would
have been given the situation. Strong
papers were presented by Mr.. Rob-
erts, and several local people who
are acquainted with him strongly en-
dorsed his application.
In regard to the selection of the
other teachers, members of the board
state that as far as the present force
is concerned they will make selec-
tions upon their own judgment, but
that upon entirely new ones, the su-
perintendent will be consulted.
In this selection of the teachers
this year it is said that more than
ever will the rule of selecting Eastern
Oregon people be followed. Other
things being equal preference will
always be given applicants from this
county or others of Eastern oregon
This policy has been forced upon the
board by the fact that teachers from
without are liable to resign during
the year, thus necessitating new
teachers during the winter. Teach
ers selected from Eastern Oregon
are found to be more satisfactory ir
the school work, as we'll as in the
above regard.

Traffic was suspended for an hour
and half this morning on the Spo-
kane branch of the o. R. & N, in
waiting for the Salt Lake baseball
team, which came in on the delayed
main line train, due here at 9 o'clock,
but which was an hour and a half
late.
The baseball season will be open
ed simultaneously at Boise and Spo-
kane tomorrow, the Salt Lake team
playing Spokane at Spokane, and the
Ogden team playing the Boise team
at Boise.
In order that the Salt Lake team
might make train connections here,
and not break the date of the open
ing game, the Spokane branch train
was held until 1890 today, awaiting
the arrival of the enthusiastic team
from the Mormon capital.
The team was in charge of Mana
ger Riley and was accompanied by
o. c. Sheperd, secretary and treas
urer, who carries the transportation
and sees that all the members of the
team are placed safely on board the
trains, and properly fed en- route.
May Play Pendleton.
Manager Carl Cooley, of the Com
mercial association team of this city,
conferred with Manager Riley, of the
Salt Lake team this morning, and il
was practically determined that a
game will be played here on Tues
day, May 2, between the Salt Lake
team and the Commercial association
team.
If the Salt Lake team is not pre-
vented from carrying out its presen
program, it will have an open dat
on that day and will play here on it
return from Spokane.
Outlook Is Hopeful.

and bladder are out of order.
What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scaiding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
YOU should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.

Of Wills. The latter soon suggcs cd

He explained that the soldiers who

pointed out, too. that the method of
burial in many cases had been haSty
