oughly substantial and genuine, be-
ing a combination of absorbing story
and one of the most notable scenic
achievements of the modern stage.
The celebrated mechanical triumph.
which gives the play it's name, the
bridge scene, is after all only an in
cident in the story of blind mothers
devotion and a long search for her
lost child. Her pathetic quest led
her, in the city of Chicago, to the
river at the, point where Chicago's
engineering triumph, the huge jack
knife bridge, lifts and closes its huge
valves every day to let steamers pass.
This operation has been most faith
fully initiated as well as the struc-
ture itself. at cost of $4,000 and
five months labor, yet after all the
scene Is merely an establishment of
the intensely dramatic narration of
the sightless mothers search. The
great valves rise and fall as they do
in the original, and a steamer passes
through in full view of the audi
ence. but presently these incidents
are absorbed into the progress of
the story. While the main thread
is of sorrow there is plenty Of comedy

are presenting "On the Bridge at
Midnight" with an exceptionally
strong company this season. The
play comes to the Yakima Theater
for one night only, Sept. 7th.

HOP CROPS CONDITION.
Never Looked Better at the Time, the
Growers Say.

It is estimated that there will be
1000 acres of new, full-bearing hop
yards included in this year picking
in Yakima: that is, there are a thou
sand acres now bearing their second
crops, and enough to cut quite a
figure in the markets. All the new
yards are promising big yields, and
their owners are very much encOur-
aged over the outlook, both for yield
and prices.
A well-knOwn buyer, who keeps in
touch with the situation here the year
round, said Monday that he had been
all over the county and examined a
great number of hop yards. 81
found" he said, "the condition of the
crop first-class in every part of the
county except on the School section.
Here the lice were particularly bad,
and many growers sustained loss on
account of the honey dew. The
vines attacked by money dew do not,
of course, produce as heavily as they
would have done, but the hops that
are picked are heavier, so It would
be impossible to say what the loss
will be.
1.-The growers will without excep-
ton, so far as ! know, pay 81 box
for picking. Pickers will be plenti-
full. 1t is believed; one reason for this
is that the growers will have more
time to get them, as picking will be-
gin about ten days later than usual
this year, the season having been a
backward one. In few yards, the
always early ones, picking will be
commenced as early as thte 5th of
September. but taking the county as a
whole. the 18th will be nearer the
date Of beginning, and 1t will not be
fully on until the Goth"

the case should be tried.
TIL action in thus temporarily dis
posing of the matter seems to have
been satisfactory to all parties. If
the United States district court de-
cides that the superior court has not
jurisdiction in the case, it may be
heard before Judge Whitson in this
city. On the other hand, some OPP
