The great earthquake and fire of San
Francisco will be in Walla Wal:as to-
night at the Keylor Grand and though
it will not shake up this city as it did
San Francisco an opportunity for a
vivid Impression of the catastrophe cen
be obtained. The American Lecture
bureau has spared no pains in en-
deavoring to produce a smile of this
terrible calamity. And the absence of
electric lights will be no hindrance
to the event as the new oxalythic light.

WAYNE MACVEAGH ON THE
GRILL.

Another idol has toppled off his
perch. Wayne MacVeagh, orator,
statesman, reformer of Pennsylvania,
is sitting in the dust, wondering what
hit him. Mr.. MacVeagh has been
the adviser Of Mayor Weaver in his
fight against the corrupt gas ring In
Philadelphia. He has had retainer
from the committee of nine which has
been advising the mayor to term1-
nate the U. G. 1. lease as soon as he
can take over the gas plant for the
city. Now it comes out that Mr.. Mac
Veagh also has a retainer from the
gas company. The publicity Of this
fact appears to be what hit Mac
Veagh.
Mr.. McVeagh has issued a state
ment which has quite a senatorial ring
in it. He says: whoever asserts that
1 have been anything but a sincere
friend of reform in the city, state and
nation is a wilful and deliberate liar
Nobody has yet said that Mr.. Mac
Veagh is insincere, but a good many
are asking how he can reconcile his
two positions as the adviser of may
or who is expected to kill off the gas
trust, and as the attorney Of a gas
trust which has no wish to be killed
off

THE RUSSIAN LAND QUESTION.

The car Of Russia is perhaps not
close student of history, but if he
happens to have followed the trend
l.of revolutionary movements he should
recognize that the one started in his
country is of the kind that does not
abate itself. The Russian movement
for representative government is but
a phase of the land hunger which has
overthrown more governments than
any other cause. The dOuma Is re-
enacting the role of the Gracchi. The
cars ministers are but repeating the
Victoria, who held on until forced
to let go, to the theory that the Irish
should not be permitted to own the
land of their country. The French
revolution, whose causes the eloquence
of Burke succeeded for a time in OBJ
curing and which has generally been
credited to fanaticism, had at bot
tom the same cause as the others
the hunger for land.
The territorial expansion of Russia
has been the most phenomenal thing
in her history, and while she has taken
a great deal of land which is useless
for agriculture, yet the immense acre
age of crop producing country includ
ed in the empire has always made it
a matter of wonder to the world that
Russia produced no better results fin
ancially and economically. The reason
of the failure is found in two things
the system Of holding the land and
the lack of agricultural education.
When Alexander II, in 1868, manumit- |
ted the serf he gave him enough
acres to support him in the frugal
style of a Russian peasant. But he
did not provide for future expansion.
Since that time the number of Rus
sian hpsbandmen has doubled and
there has been no increase in the land
holdings. The simple proposition
Of the douma is that the time has
arrived for another distribution and
this time it must be adequate. The
higgling of the car and the ministers
is merely an evidence that they do not
understand the problem of their own
country.
Thn soI, l,a,
ed the productive capacity of Russia
is the lack of education. Diversified
farming has never been introduced in
Russia. The crop is wheat, nothing
but wheat Today" says a writer
on Russian affairs, 1.-The traveller rush
ing on the wings Of steam from St.
Petersburg on to Odessa sees nothing
but an immense waving wheat field
stretched endlessly on either side of
the railroad" The one-crop system
is attributed to White, who in his |
eagerness to have an export showing, |
forced this suicidal policy upon the !
people. Experts agree that this one
crop system has seriously affected |
the black earth belt of Russia, which |
supports two-fifths of the entire en- |
pire. What the reformers are cry !
ing out for is a system of administra-
ton which will first add new acres
TO the peasants farm, and. second,
will spend some money renewing the
soil instead Of forever carrying on
the policy Of conquest which came

"A Message From Mars"

If all the selfish people in the world
were to hear what their neighbors say
about them, they might be tempted to
reform and change their ways but I'M
fortunately they do not. Men and
women who are unpleasantly talked
about are generally the last to hear
Ganthony's comedy, "A Message from
Mars" in which the sterling young ac
tor Mr.. David Proctor is starring,
will be seen here at the Key
lor Grand, Wednesday, June Is.
He has so constructed his play, both
in dialogue and stage mechanism, to
make it possible that the selfish man,
who is the hero Of the play, could hear
what his neighbors were saying of
him, and to further emphasize the dis
comiture of the selfish man he is not
permitted to reply to the charges made
against him. This is upon the theory
that the punishment is made to fit the
crime. The selfish man of the earth
is completely in the hands of a mes
senger from the planet Mars, who
comes to the earth not for the pur-
pose of reforming the people Of this
planet, but for the express purpose of
converting one Horace Parker, reputed
to be the most selfish man on earth, to
that Of kind, forgiving, considerate,

BOY BUILDING
Riqht Food Makes Fine Boys.

Many people have questioned the
truthfulness of the statement that the
brain can be really nourished and built
up from some particular kind of food.
Experience is better than any kind
of theory.
The wife of prominent legislator in
Kentucky says: "a woman of my ac-
uuaintance was in badly run down
mother, and at three months of age
the child was mite of humanity pit
iful to look upon, with no more brain
development than monkey
About the time / speak of when the
child was three months old the mother
began feeding him Grape-Nuts.
I'm ten days it was plain that a
change was taking place and in a few
weeks the boy became rosy, healthy
and rounded out.
He is now five years old and his
food this entire time has been Grape
Nuts and cream. He seldom ever
takes any other kind of food.
at is a splendid Illustration of the
fact that selected food can produce re-
suits. for this boy is perfectly formed,
has beautiful body and arms and
legs of young athlete, while his head
and brain development appears per-
feet, and he is as bright and intelli-
gent as can be.
II cannot comprehend better H.

made for Grape-Nuts,. that it is a
