ADJUSTMENTS
"York State Folks" Toniuht,

That charming pastoral play, York
a charm which can almost be classed
as fascination, ana While it does not
not exploit any so-called social prob
lens, and has no theatrical clap-trap
whatever, it has the innate power to
hold the audience with intense inter
est from the raise of the curtain on the
first act until il goes down on the last.
pays this city a return visit tonight.
That it will be cordially received at the
Keylor Grand tonight there can be no
question, as its presentation here last
season was universally proclaimed as
one of the best theatrical treats of the
season. All the little details of the
production have been given the most
painstaking attention, and the result
excels anything yet shown in rural
drama. The dream scene of tce finale.
in which a vested boy choir is used, is
one of the prettiest things yet devised
for any play.
The company is a very large one, in
Guiding some of the best known char
acter actors on the American stage
It's members will all be seen in the
roles they created in the original pro-
duction, and it is an unusual tribute
to the attractive qualities of the play
that the management has been able to
over three years.

COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION WILL
ELECT NEW OFFICERS
THEN.
Plans for Erection of New Fair Pa
vilion With Half Mill Tax Will
be Taken Up.

Secretary Caswell of the Walla
Walla County Fair association will
mail out notices TO TIE stockholders
Monday announcing that the annual
meeting of the association will be
held at the court house on Monday.
November 20. at o'clock p. m. Inn
portant plans are being considered for
next years fair and race meet, the
present officials are urging upon stock
holders to be present and take an
active part in furthering the interests
of the association.
At the annual meeting the election
of officers for the coming year will
be held and the plans for erecting
new pavilion for county fair pur-
poses ana other changes at the
grounds discussed. The half mill tax
levy. made a part of the levy for 1905
will be available next year, giving the
association something over $4,000 for
erecting a new pavilion for county
fair purposes. While the funds from
the tax levy will hardly be available
in time to erect a building by fair
time next year. the association will
probably arrange to borrow a suff1--
cient amount to put up the building
and make other improvements as
contemplated, repaying the money as
it is turned over to the association
by the county treasurer.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
ESTIMATES GIVE GRAIN RE-
TURNS FOR WASHINGTON.
Wheat Crop Was About Four Bushels
an Acre More Than Produced
Last Year.

There is nothing in the latest re-
ports received at the department OF
agriculture which tends to diminish
the midsummer prospect that the 1905
ton will be from 320OO0OO to $4,000
900 bushels. The October estimate of
of spring wheat in the state gives the
yield per acre at 22.5 bushels, which
is about four bushels to the acre
larger than the estimated yield of
1894 These figures, although Off
cial, are preliminary in character and
are subject to revision next Deem
Der after a more careful examina-
ton has been made, says a report
from Washington.
Spring and Winter Wheat.
The estimated acreage of the spring
wheat in the state is considerably
larger than last years, and it Will
be surprising if the 1905 crop does
not prove to be at least two or
three million bushels larger than
that of 1904.
The reports of the winter crop are
also very favorable and the officials
of the department of agriculture who
make a study of crop conditions be-
lieve that last years bumper har-
vest of fall-sown wheat will be
almost equaled and possibly surpass-
ed.
The season now closing has been
remarkable one for nearly all
The quality of spring wheat in the
state is estimated at 95, and is only
exceeded by the quality of the crop
in Utah and Wyoming, where the pro-
duction of wheat is comparatively
small
Oats Average Fifty Bushels.
The average yield of oats is much
larger in Washington this year than
in any other state the average per
acre being placed at so bushels. The
nearest approach to this is in Mon
tana, where the average is placed
at Alb bushels. The average yield
per acre for the whole country is
only 1873 bushels. The quality in
Washington is estimated at 95.
Rye, Barley and Corn.
The estimated yield of rye per
acre is placed at 1876 bushels as
against 1876 for the United States
as a whole, and the yield of barley
per acre is given as 40 bushels as
against 26.7 for the country at large.
Washington is not one of the large
producers of corn, but the condition
of that crop on October 1 was re-
ported as 80, which is a fraction above
the average for the United States
as a whole.

A pleasant little Whitman college
given by Miss Fowler of the Junior
class to a group of her friends. The
scheme of the evening was the unique
one of having the boys all make dolls
out of tissue paper and an old clay
pipe, while the girls made tissue pa
per hats for the boys and a necktie
apiece out of strips of calico. The
agreement was that the boys must
wear the gaudy affairs to chapel on
Monday morning. Light refreshments
were served. Those present We're:

A bunch of college and academy
girls living at Reynolds, styling them
selves the "chaperons,' gave a din
ner to Coach Smith and some of
their boy friends last evening. This
is the first dinner given by the girls
this year at Whitman.
About 10 couples of Billings boys
and Reynolds girls took a stroll
about the east part of the city last
evening under the chaperonage of
Mrs. Gertrude Wylie. The idea
at first was to DO some senerading,
but it was afterward decided that the
musical talent Of the crowd was
hardly equal to the occasion and that
they could have better time anyway
enjoying each others company.
A few prominent high school stu
dents celebrated Halloween Tuesday

MONSTER SPIDERS TERRoRIzE.
Girl and Man Go Canoeing and Are Near.
ly Drowned.

Miss Jessie Sherman, 81 years old,
of Brooklyn, daughter of John Taylor
Sherman, whose country home is at
Oyster Bay, went canoeing with Alden
Whitman.
They were more than half mile from
the shore when three monster spiders
came from beneath the seat of the ca
noe and made their way aft to where
Miss Sherman was sitting.
Paralyzed with horror, Miss Sherman
could do nothing but gaze as if fasci-
mated at the creatures. Finally the
spider which was attacking from the
port side, reached the edge of her dress,
and, with a scream of terror, Miss Sher-
man jumped to starboard and over
went the canoe, spiders and all.
Both Miss Sherman and Mr.. Whit
man are expert swimmers, but, ham,
pered by their clothing, they had hard
work to keep from sinking. Almost ex-
hausted, they began screaming for help.
A man employed by Colgate Hoyt, the
banker, was the first to respond, and
rowed swiftly to their rescue, while
many persons ran about on shore. Pres
ident Roosevelt's household watched the
scene from Sycamore Hill.

BRAVE LOVE.

He'd nothing but his violin,
Z I'd nothing but my song:
But we We're wed when skies were hlue
And summer days were long;
And when we rested by the hedge
The robins came and told
How they had dared TO WOO and win
When early spring was cold
We sometimes supped on dewberries.
OR slept among the hay;
But oft the farmers wives at eve
came out TO hear us play
The rare old songs. the dear old tunes
We could not starye for long
While my man had his violin
And / my sweet love song.
The world has aye gone well with us,
Old man, since we were one:
Our homeless wandering down the lanes.
Ii long ago was done.
But those who wait for gold o. gear.
For houses or for kline
Till youths sweet spring grows brown an,
sere
And love ard beauty pine
VIII never know the joy OF hearts
That met without fear
When you had but your violin
And / a sGng-my dear.

then he is through with his meal. Even

MINISTER SEEKS FIGHT.
Preacher Attacks Lodges; Men Interfere
and Challenge Follows.

Rev. William Metthewson, pastor Of
the Swedish Valley Methodist church of
Williamsport, Pa, created a sensation
during Sunday service recently by offer
ing TO fight any three men in the valley.
The challenge came as the climax of
series of senSat ional attacks on MEM
bers of the Masonic and other secret
orders. This time his remarks were re-
scented and n public quarrel followed,
several of the leaders in the church as
sailing the minister while he was in the
pulpit. Mr.. Matthewson declared from
the pulpit that no member of the Ma
sonic fraternity should have n place in
the church, and that no minister who
was a member of the order had ever had
a successful re ival. He savageiy at
tackled, al the same time, the Grange
and Odd Fellows. In the midst of his
earangue Hiram Lent and Warren
Whit, two promincIt members of the
church, challenged his conduct, asking
him to confine his sermon to topics of
religion. He ordered them out of the
church and then issued n challenge 10
