MARKET.

The Pensacola Investment Compa-

very little movement in the realty
market during the past week, as far
as they are concerned, and, although
about the usual number of sales and
transactions we're MADE there was
nothing of especial interest. The only
large deal of the week was the sale
of the lot next to the county jail to
the county for the sum of $4,000. The
property was owned by Jos. ARIZONA
and the terms were one-f1fth cash,

are clearing out the streets and put

Prices rule firm with no perceptible
advance.
D. Hale Wilson & Co., report bust
ness very good during the week but
all the transactions handled by them
were comparatively small. They re-
port the building of several houses

is considerable inquiry for property

PILOTS FIGHT SIGNAL
VICTORY FOR J. ED o'BRIEN.

The American Bar Pilots Associa.
ton has again come out victorious in
the fight against the adjustment OF
compulsory pilotage. A victory more
signal than any of those previously
accomplished by President J. E.
O'Brien, of Pensacola, Fla, has Just
been won for the anti-pilotage meas.
ure, fathered by Representative Lit
tlefield. The bill is still in the house
with no likelihood OIL its being called
up at this session.
Mr.. Littlefield has been chief ex.
ponent of the anti-pilotage bill and
with his powerful backing-that OF
the ship owners Of the entire country
has fought hard and bitterly to at.
tain the desired end, but without sue
cess. The bill is at present in the
house. and If the president of the as.
sOciatiOn proceeds as arnently from
now on as he mas In the past, il will
remain there until the present con
gress adjourns.
For a short while it was feared by
the pilots and their friends that the
bill after having been reported favor
ably by the committee, would be call
ed up in the house, but President
O'Brien has so far been able to keep
the measure in the committee, and all
efforts to call it up for vote have
proved futile
LittIefieId's Plans.
In fact, it is stated by those well
acquainted with conditions, that the
ship owners of whom Representative
Littlefeld is one of the largest, own
ing an interest in some one hundred
vessels, are now preparing to concen-
trate their entire strength upon bill
to be introduced at the next session
of congress. They have practically
given up all hope of getting any meas
ure through the present congress. and
will work to secure some legislation
at the next session which will have
the effect of doing away with compul-
sorry pilotage.
President O'Brien. however. who is
ever alert to the interests OF the pilots
ano, the association, appears confident
of defeating Littleield, even at The
next session of congress.

Road Leads Off In Test,

PLAINFIELD, Wis, Sept. 21.-The
Wisconsin Central railroad has taken
steps to test the constitutionality of
the anti-pass law. One of it's own en-
ployees is the chief figure in the test
case.
w. B. Angelo of this city is an at
torney for the company, and in addi-
ton holds the position of a notary
public, a state office. He is charged
with riding on a free pass while not
engaged in the performance of any
duty for the railroad. He purposely
used his pass, as alleged in a warrant
against MIN, and by agreement w. H.
Barray, the editor of the Waushara
Argus, acted as the complainant in the
case.
The arrest was formally made and
everything possible is being done to
expedite the trial of the case.

tire building can be emptied in less
than four minutes.
Electrical Mechanism.
AT the right of the stage is the
switchboard controlling every electric
light in the auditorium and on the
stage-a piece of mechanism which is
highly interesting. In fact the cleo
trlcal equipment deserves more than
passing mention. 1t is as extensive and
complete as that of any play house on
the Pacific coast. The contractor who
furnished this branch Of the work is
w. j. Blackburn of Chicago, one of the
most efficient electricians in America.
The switchboard in use is a most in
teresting form of apparatus. It is the
invention of Mrs. Blackburn, the tai
ented wife Of the electrician.

tree, under which General Washington

Wished to be Buried With Master.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 21.-The
funeral of the late Walter B. Smith,
who died at st. Vincent's hospital after
a lingering illness, was held yester-
day afternoon at Finley's undertaking
chapel and the body buried in the
Crescent Grove cemetery. A hunting
dog owned by the deceased and who
had accompanied his master on scores
of hunting trips was at the cemetery
and could hardly be restrained from
leaping into the grave; all through the
services at the cemetery the dog
wnined most pitifully.
Mr.. Smith was q years old and he
numbered his friends by the hundreds.
At the services held in this city, Fin
ley's chapel was crowded, while $50
young friends gathered at the cemetery
to pay their last respects to their COM
panions memory.

TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS ES-
INNATE. THAT 125,00o PEO-
PIE HAVE COME WEST.
They Will Urge Low Rates Again
Next Season If ScaIping Can
be Stopped.

1t is estimated by railroad men that
fully $4,000 persons have visited
the northwest this summer, coming
from eastern points with the primary
object in view of seeing the country.
At least 10000, and probably more, Of
these visitors have passed through
Portland to see the Lewis and Clark
exposition.
There is a possibility that the rail-
roads, encouraged by the great sue
cess of this years tourist movement,
will inaugurate cheap rate movement
next summer. The eastern travel has
far exceeded all preliminary estimates
and the benefit to the northwest has
been greater than the optimistic rail-
road passenger officials anticipated.
The only circumstance. that can
prevent an effort being made next
year to encourage travel to the north
west is the activity of ticket scalpers.
1t is stated authoritatively that if the
cheap round "trip tickets are not pro-
tected the chances of a $50 round trip
rate are dim.
This is regarded by railroad Off
Gals as a natural summer travel coun
try. The climate offers a pleasing re-
spite from the heat of the east, and
railroad men believe they can turn
large part of the summer tourist
business toward the northwest. This
year a $50 round trip rate has been in
effect, and it is likely that the figure
for next summer will be $50. In view
of the fact that there will be no special
attraction, this is believed to be a fair
figure.
At the low round trip rate, passenger
officials are skeptical as to whether
the railroads break even on the trans
continental business. There is no
question, though, but that the local
travel between terminals tourists
have more than justified the effort to
wet people into the northwest.

The ceilings are finished off in the

Particular attention has been paid to
the designing and construction of the
stage which has a depth of 40 feet and
is the full width of the building, 70 feet

of the new theatre stated a few days
ago that he could stage a production
like Ben Hur'' in the new Jheater. The
stage has been designed and construct
ed under the supervision of the best
stage managers in the business. On the
Fourth street side of the stage is a big
double door to be used for bringing in
or taking out scenery and also to be
used in case of fire. The appliances for
changing the scenery quickly are neat

Not a Post In Sight.

The new theatre has been designed
with a view of affording every seat in
the house a clear ana unobstructed
view of the stage and not a post has
been used. The parquet slopes gradu-
ally to the front and ends at the Or
chestra pit which has been sunk below
the level Of the floor so that occupants
in the front seats will have an uuob-
structed view of the stage.
On either side of the theatre and
adjoining the stage are ten boxes five
on side, rising in tiers of two and
handsomely finished off with red p1ush
and brussel carpets. The decorations

WALLA WALLA'S new PLAYHOUSE
Key|or Caand Theatre Will Be Formally Opened Tonight
One Of the Finest on the Pacific Coast

Built at a cost exceeding $4,000,
Walla Walla's new playhouse, the Key
lor Grand theatre, at the corner or
Fourth and Alder streets, will be for
mally thrown open to the public this
evening when The Girl From Kay's'
will be presented to an audience that 1t
is believed will pack the new theatre
from pit to dome.
Contractor Randall put on an extra
force of men this morning in order to
be sure that the new playhouse Will be
in readiness for tonight's performance.
With the exception of the new seats
and a few finishing touches to the in
terror decorations, the playhouse is
practically finished and ready to turn
over to it's owner, DR.. H. r. Keylor.
The new seats will not arrive from the
factory at Chicago for several days
vet and the audience tonight will have
to be content with camp chairs. This,
however, is a matter of small concern
to hungry theatre-goers who have not
had the opportunity of viewing the in
terror of anything near like a modern
play house since the old Walla Walla
theatre was condemned two years ago.
A Modern Theatre.
ic
every respect and compares favorably
with many of the finest theatres in
proper is 20 by 100 feet, three full
stories in height in the front and 70
feet high in the rear to make room for
the dressing rooms and the storing of
a mammoth stock of scenery. The
building is entirely constructed of brick
and stone with concrete foundations
extending to bed rock While lacking
many of the architectural effects OF
many city theatres the new playhouse
is handsome in its solid appearance and
mammoth size. Inc DulluulS was ue
signed by E. w Houghton, a Seattle
architect, and was constructed by j..
H. Randall. a well-known contractor
and builder of Seattle, who has de-
signed and erected nearly 35 theatres
in the east and on the coast.
The main entrance is on the Alder
street side and leads into the vestibule
entrance a space 16 by 20 feet in size
and finished off in forest green on the
walls. The ceiling is uncompleted, but
will be handsomely decorated with fly
ing cupids and other designs. Imme-
diately to the right of the main en-
trance is the box office which also
opens into the stairway leading to the
gallery.
Passing through the vestibule en-
trance the grand foyer is reached which
in turn leads directly into the auIito-
rum. The foyer is u feet in width.
The walls are finished off in red with a
tan ceiling while the archways looking
into the parquet are upholstered in

Balcony and Gallery.

The same care has been exercised in
the seating arrangements in the bal
cony and gallery as has been displayed
in the parquet. In the balcony the
slope is sufficient to give every seat
a fine view Of the stage and the same
is true in the gallery. In fact there is
not poor seat in the whole house be
it either in the parquet or gallery.
An admirable plan mas been evolved
in the matter Of patrons reaching the
gallery. The main entrance is on AL
der street and opens directly into the
box Office which in turn opens into a
big stairway leading to a wide hall on
what could be termed the second floor.
From this hall two stairways lead to
the gallery above. The staircases are
wide and lead gradually up to the top
of the building where the gallery is To-
Gated. The seats are arranged on tiers
and are comfortable. The gallery has
seating capacity of about 300.
Plenty of Fire Escapes end Exits.
The number Of fire escapes and exits
in the building exceed quite ccnsij-
erably the number required by the new
building ordinance adopted by the city
council. There are two escapes lead
ing from both the gallery and balcony,
one on either side of the building The
escapes are iron and the steps lead to
safety On the ground below. Fire es-
capes are also in evidence on the
ground floor and four exits are also
