ADJUSTMENTS

In spite of the unpleasant weather

present to witness ..Reaping the Har-

Tom Fitch whose very clever work
last night, proves him to be as good
an actor as he is an author. His work
was smooth and convincing at all
times and the light and shade he gave
to Donald Stewart" carried his au-
dience with him from start to finish.
That capable little actress, Miss
Dorothy Fairfax as Marie Morley"
appeared for the first time since her
long identification with this company,
in the role of an adventures, and to
say the least, acquitted herself in
most clever manner. On two hours
notice Ben Stone and Miss Beryl May
who arrived from Seattle yesterday
too late for an opening rehearsal, went
on and played difficult parts in way
that would cause anyone to believe,
and who are not familiar with capa-
bilities of some of the people of stage
land, to be a thing impossible. The
singing and dancing of Bert Bence,
and the Alvinos in an entire change of

between the acts. The second free

LOWER RATES ON FLOUR AND GRAIN
Hartman System Announces Reduction From Wala WaIIa to
Eastern Terminal Points Good Work Of Commercial
Club

railway officials and the local officials
were directed to inform the CONNER
ciaI club that it's request had been
granted.
What the Rates Will Be.
By this decision the Wa1la Walla
shippers have received quite con-
cession on the part of the Hartman
system and will result in much benefit
to not only the shippers but the farm
ers as we'll. The rates are:
From Walla Walla to st. Paul, Min
neapolis and Duluth, on flour and
grain, in carload lots, As cents per
hundred.
From Walla Walla to lower Missouri
river terminal points, carload lots, so
cents per hundred.
From Walla Wa1la to Chicago and
st. Louis, in carload lots, 52h cents
per hundred.
News Is Gratifying.
"The announcement that the reduc-
ton in the rates has been made by
the railroad companies in this matter
is certainly very gratifying to the
transportation committee of the Com
mercial club said President Catron,
who was chairman of the transporta-
ton committee that conducted the
conference with the railroad men. 1T
is a concession that will be appre-
ciated by the entire membership of the
club as we'll as every shipper and
farmer in Walla Walla county. While
it is to be regretted that the reduction
came too late to benefit the shippers
of last years crop, it is an assurance
that it will mean a big saving in
freight rates on next seasons ship
ment to the eastern markets. The
Hartman system has always met the
demands of the Walla Walla CONNER
cial club half way and 1 feel that it is
quite encouraging to know that the
work of the committee and the club
has brought about the concession
