puts it on a par with all the previous
comic opera successes and there is some
doubt If during the next half dozen years
musical comedy will be produced that
will be the equal In any way of the
Honeymoon"
The most sober minded of theatre go
ers give full approval to "A Chinese
Honeymoon" because of the absence or
all the equivocal features from the per-
formance-the women all being dressed
in either Oriental costumes or modern
gowns with long trains. Tights and
short skirts are not to be found In the
piece.
The plot of the comedy contains
sprightly features. 1t concerns the woes
of middle aged bridegroom, Samuel
Pineapple, and his charming, but 1eal-
Gus wife, who go to China on their hon
| eymoon, accompanied by their brides
maids, whose purpose 1t is TO keep an
eye on the bridegroom. OF course there
are the usual comic opera DEGREES in this
comic opera of china, and the edicts con-
, corning kissing result in the entangle-
ment of the newly married couple-the
bride being claimed by the emperor and
| the groom being compelled to wed the
| Chinese princess. The princess herself
has INDUCED in a little masquerade, and
has become enamored with Pineapples
nephew. so that there is double woe in
the enforced wedding of the uncle, whose
! unhappy household is thrown into a
| turmoil. Finally through the interference
| of little English waitress who has the
| faculty of bobbing up in the right place
at the right time. the complications are
Strengthened out and the different cou-
| ples are reunited in proper form.
The book was written by George Dance,
and the music composed by coward Tai
bot Sam S. Shubert makes the claim for
the production that 1t Is one of the most
notable that has ever been presented to
the public In point of gorgeousness of cos
tunes and beautiful stage effects. The
cast presenting the opera here is one Of
the strongest that has ever been identi-
fed with the opera and includes James
A. Herman, Lillian Reed, Fred S. Heck,
Stella Breadsley, Charles Prince, Frances
Golden, Robinson Newbold, r. A. Breese,

"The Curse of Drink"

At the Bijou theatre next week Charles
e. Blaneys most successful drama, THE
Curse of Drink" will be the attraction.
This is said to be one of the most noted
scenic productions of the year, Mr..
Blaney having invested a very large cap
ital in the scenic and mechanical equip
ment.
The story of the play is that of an en-
gineer who is addicted to drink. He has
a daughter who is loved by the son of
the president of the road, who has made
him become fireman so that he can
thoroughly learn the railroad business.
This daughter is also loved by the villain
who is superintendent of the road.

Shipped Berries by Carload,

A canvass of the various perry
shipping agencies in this district to-
day discloses the fact that over seven
cars of berries have been shipped
from this place this season. While
this Is not as big as was expected at
the beginning of the growing season.
II is highly satisfactory in the face
OF events and conditions since the
growing season opened The frosts.
the first that have occurred at this
time OF the year for a number Of
years, cut off large percentage of
the early berries and blighted con-
siderable more. Then the backward
spring delayed the growth of the
fruit not injured by the frost. But
II the production was not what IL
should have been the price received
mas IN measure made amends for
the shortness. The price at the be-
ginning of the season was very high
and has remained good to date
averaging in the neighborhood of
80 per crate. When it is consid-
cred that berries can be profitably
raised here and sold for $3.50 a
crate. this is big thing for the
growers though the crop was short.
The berry crop this year will bring
about 900 into the valley.-Ken.

BEGINS WORK ON STATE ROAD.
Engineer Begins Work on Road
to Gold Hill and Across Mountains.

Engineer Meloy left Thursday
morning for the Natchez, where he
will go over the old survey for a
state road for the purpose of ascer-
tanning If the grade cannot be re-
auced in places and some improve
ments over the old route be made.
BY next week full crew will be
sent In and everything put in readi-
ness OF begin actual work upon a
public highway across the hills.
The surveyors will be in charge of
w. j. Mcintyre, a competent civil
engineer they have full in
structions from the state highway
commissioner, the object of which is
to secure a uniform system of state
highways, provide for the perman-
ent marking of all such locations on
the ground, and secure a uniform
system OF records of all location
work on roads where the funds of
the state are to be expended. All
state roads hereafter will be pro-
'Jected by true courses to the end
That the surveys may be of value to
the state. The grades used are in
reasonably good country not to ex-
coed per cent ana in the noun
famous country, except in certain
cases where it may be necessary, not
TO exceed 10 per cent. Mr.. Meloy
is of the opinion the old grades can
be improved upon in some instances
The news that actual work is to
begin on this road will be welcomed
by the many mining men in this To-
cality holding interests in the Gold
Hill country. There are some yalu-
able properties awaiting develop
ment. which will be much facilitated
by the opening Of this highway. It
VIII be remembered that the state
legislature appropriated $12,5OO for
this road at its last session,

WHAT THE Y. M. G. A. Is.
Some Pertinent Facts-Its Worth to
. Community.

Since the unanimous and very pro-
nounced expression Of the young men
Of North Yakima to the effect that
they want a Young Mems Christian
Association, and the selection of a
strong committee of business men to
secure the funds with which to erect
home for the proposed organiza-
ton, it has been asked, what is the
Young Mems Christian Association"
There is scarcely any one in these
enlightened times who has not heard
of the organization, but all have not
had an opportunity to witness the
practical workings Of 1t.
1T is rather hard to tell in word
Just what the organization u.s." writes
an authority on the subject. II it
were not so much more. we might
call 1t a club. 1t is a club, but not
one Of the usual type that is only So
cial, only intellectual, only religious
or only otherwise. 1t is a composite
of all these things. because men be-
come interested in all things that its
members wish 1t to be.
1.-The association Is a social club, as
all it's work is social. 1t is not So
cial in the sense of a resort, with
catch penny devices or special fea-
lures for passing away time. But In
the large sense 1t is social, as all the
members are interested in some OF
the clubs. classes, teams. studies,
something which, while it interests,
will also improve one.
THE association is educational, Int
because 1t gives every man who de-
sires the chance to take part in the
organization Of many committees
and clubs-the best possible training
for mind. wit and method.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1905-06-14

1.-THE association is religious, be-
cause it believes in religion; not that
it has a creed---iC has none-it has
men of all creeds. 1t believes that
all men are religious by nature, helps
them to recognize themselves as such.
and encourages them to plan rightly
because it is right.
1.-The association believes in health
and good nature, and maintains gym
nasiums and everything that is neces-
sary to make the work of keeping
strong and vital pleasure. Its ath-
letics, games, boxing, fencing, wrest-
ling and swimming are planned be-
cause they are so effective in secur-
ing robust health.
"All these things are carried on be-
cause we, the members. want them;
that is enough"
