PLAYED TO a PACKED HOUSE.

The capacity of the Park Openra
house was certainly taxed last night
by the great audience that greeted
that ever popular repertoire organi-
zation, the Kempton Komedy Kom-
pany. Every seat in the house was
occupied and many were forced to
stand. 1t was a splendid audience
and the production of the powerful
comedy drama, MANS Enemy, or
the Downward Path" was first class
and wholly satisfactory. Nearly
every character was well portrayed.

A very great feeling of disgust was
manifested yesterday, when the So
cialists. taking advantage of the cele-
bration of national holiday. when
all matters of a political nature
should have been eschewed, broke
into the Labor Day procession with
flaming banners and hangers, in an
attempt to attract attention to their
candidate Haywood for governor. The
least thing that can be said of it was
that it was a measly thing to do. 1t
attempted to prifit in reflected
glory. Such attempts to gain favor,
show that there is nothing to the So
cialist claim for fair play and equal
rights. The civic societies nartici-
pating, would never have marched in
that parade had they known that the
Socialists were to have used IL for
glorifying Haywood and his ilk. The
principal labor organization of this
city had invited the civic societies to
take part in the parade and 1t was i'll
advised to have permitted any politi-
cal organization. to have placed such
societies in an equivocal position. So.
glaring was the attempt, however
made by the Socialists to make profit
for their organization, that it only
brought forth disgust and was very
generally denounced by every fair
minded person in the city.

the yield might have been larger, the

From Clyde Fitch's Scrapbook.

Clyde Fitch, at a dinner that he
gave in honor of noted dramatic
critic, read from his library of scrap
books a western criticism on Hamlet.
The criticism, which was dated 1873,
ran:
There is too much Ginning in this
piece. The author is behind the times,
and seems to forget that what we
want nowadays is hair raising situa-
tons and detectives.
I'm the hands of a skillful play
wright a detective would have been
put upon the track of Hamlet's uncle,
and the old man would have been
hunted down in a manner that would
have lifted the audience out of their
cowhides.
THE moral of the piece is not good.
The scene where Hamlet sasses his
mother is a bad example to the rising
generation.
Our advice to the author Is more
action, more love-making, and plenty
of specialties. The crazy girl scene
should be cut out altogether and a rat.

Bos I.atifrons
1.-The precursor of the buffalo in
Oregon was this broad-faced OK. His
horns were longer and stouter and his
bony forehead was wider than that of
the buffalo, measuring 10 inches
across the line of the eyes. His skull
was not only very wide, but unusual
ly thick, being two and half inches
in midforehead.'
"The book contains the picture of
skull that was found five or six
miles east of the Dallas, Ore.

surface beds includes all slight de-
pressions of the surface producing
ponds with sediment enough to pre-
serve bones and teeth washed into
them, and also swamps and boys into
which large mammals often sink to
their death, leaving their bones to
such preserving agencies as might
occur there. And inasmuch as the
latest great surface-leveling agency of
the north temperate zone was that of
the glacial ice, most of these surface
depressions would date from glacial
times, and would, therefore, be prop
erly designated as Pleistocene. Fur
thermore, up to the glacial period the
horse and the camel were abundant

Is still in doubt, so that our group of

while it must be largely matter

ages as computed by Henry F. o.

New York. In that diagram the sPleis-
tocene which Prof. Condor gives as
the age of the broad-faced OK, is put
down as extending from about the
100000 years of the Upper Miocene
to the present time.
Such specimens as this new arrival
at the Alaska club start interesting
trains of thought. 1t is only necessary
here to suggest one. The so-called
new world of America is in reality a
very old world, and it may be that it
is the oldest land on earth. The an
cient inhabitants of America were
strangers to the modern horse, camel
and OK. These creatures were evolved
on the eastern hemisphere and were
brought to the western hemisphere
since its discovery by Columbus. Yet
geology discloscs the indisputable evil
dence that the progenitors of these
useful creatures did exist here in the
past.

Wheat in Western Canada
A Good Crop of Excellent Quality Has Been
Raised This Year.

The grain crops estimates from the
Canadian West make range of from
S7,000,000 to 115,000,000 bushels, and
an accurate statement will be some
where between these figures-prob-
ably not far from 90,000,000 bushels.
This year a larger acreage was sown,
estimated at an increase of from 1S
to 20 per cent, and had the average
yield Of last year been maintained.
the aggregate would assuredly have
gone considerably beyond the 100000
900 bushel mark. The exceptionally
large influx of settlers was responsible
to considerable extent for much of
the increased area, and, there can be
no doubt Is also responsible for a
part of the decreased average yield.
The first crop raised by the new set
tler--often unacquainted with the
conditions of western agriculture--is
not usually prolific, and 1905-06 placed
very large number of amateur farm
ers behind the stills of the plow; but
they will learn, and learn fast, and
with another season or two will help
to raise the average instead OF de-
pressing 1t.

FIRST CHURCH BUILT BY JOSEPH

Is Still Standing at Kirkland, O., as

Now Used by Latter-Day

Kirkland, O.-The first shrine of
Mormonism is still standing at Kirt-

little cemetery near it could rise,
they would tell how many fevered
zealot gave his lands, his home and
his all to provide funds for the build

1t was in 1880 that Smith appeared
in Kirkland, and with his coming there
was a social revolution, the like Of
which Ohio had never witnessed. Hus-
bands left their wives and children,
mothers deserted their homes and
babes were placed in the poorhouse.
The end came when Joseph Smith was
compelled to fee the state of Ohio.
The temple was all that was left be-
hind.
"A storehouse of the Lord" as
Smith called it, was begun in 1881,
and by 1884 was completed. Its found
alton was laid on seven small ridges
or hills in imitation of the Rome of
old. The dimensions was about so

NEW WORLD IN REALITY MOST
ANCIENT OF EARTH.
Scientists So Conclude After Finding
Skull of Broad-Faced OK In Alas
ka-Precursor of the Buff
falo.

Seattle, Wash.-From the discovery
in the valley of the Yukon of the giant
skull of broad-faced OK, known to
science as 'Bos Latifrons," the geolo-
gists and others versed in the mystic
lore of the time when the old earth
was in her baby days read the start
ling fact that the western hemisphere
should be termed the "old country"
and that Mother Asia after all is much
the junior of the American continent.
e. S. Strait, Of Dawson, has sent the
skull of the prehistoric monster to the
Alaska club, Of Seattle. Secretary
Sheffield proudly shows 1t to all COM
ers as one of the treasures Of the club.
The skull of the great creature was
dug out of gold mine on one of the
creeks entering the Klondike near
Dawson. From tip to tip the horns
measure SO inches. The skull is sup
posed to have been pushed about to-
gether with rock and gold nuggets by
the action Of the glaciers of the past.
Scientists claim that the Bos Latifrons
is the precursor of the great Amer
lean buffalo. They also state that
there is reason to believe that the
western half of the world knew moth
ing whatever of the horse and camel
and that these were products of later
age and long following the time when
humanity and animal life throve on
this continent.
Prof. E. S. Meany, of the University
of Washington, examined the skull
with great interest. He said, regard
ing it:
The fossil skull sent to the Alaska
club by E. S. Strait is undoubtedly
specimen of the broadfaced OK. A
few years ago similar specimen was
found underground on claim Is above,
on Bonanza creek, near Dawson, and
was presented to the University of
Washington by Judge Arthur E. Crit
fin, of Seattle.
THE same creature formed part Of
the life in Oregon during past geo.
logic ages. The greatest authority on
such things in this region is the ven

geology at the University of Oregon.

for by some enthusiastic western peo-
pie, who maintained that increased
acreage necessarily meant an in
creased aggregate. Still, 90,000,000
bushels of wheat is 100000 better
than what was looked upon last year
as a good crop, and we do not think
Western Canada has much cause to
feel down In the mouth because the
acme Of its antlcipations on the wheat
crop may not have been realized.
Taking one year with another, that
country has demonstrated that it can
be depended upon as a great wheat
growing territory, and has to be reck-
oned with in the markets of the
world.
The yield In oats has been in
creased this year by nearly 100000
bushels, the aggregate estimate being
75,725,600, with the average at ALP
bushels to the acre. The estimated
crop Of barley is placed at 1890, 800
bushels, which is a slight increase
over the total of last year. OF fax the
estimate given is 69O1s4 bushels,
which is a material increase upon last
years figures.
Following are the figures in detail
for wheat, oats, and barley in West
ern Canada for the three years last
past:
