HANFoRD AND MISS DRoFNAH.

One of the most popular and salts
flying productions in Mr.. Charles B.
Hanford's repertory is "Othello." Mr.
Hartford has made a thorough study of
this thrilling and magnificent tragedy,
his experience with his own and other
presentations of it having made him
absolutely familiar with its every
word. 1t is one of his favorite char
acters and critics have not hesitated
in according his portrayal of its rec
ognition as a fine masterful creation.
While there are many Romeos and
Hamlets, there are few actors of the
present day who have the physical
endowments and the tempermental
qualities essential to a presentation of
this role. 1t calls for commanding per-
sonality and at the same time for SYM
pathetic sincerity. Othello is both the
tyrant and the lover. He is a man of
fine intellectually and yet an easy
dupe when his affections are con-
cerned. So complex a character places
before the actor task not to be light
ly undertaken, and Mr.. Hanford's bril-
liant success in it constitutes one of
the most complete tributes that the
public has paid to his abilities. A

the costuming rich, picturesque and

who will appear as Desdemona. Miss
Drofnah has made so favorable i'm

in the Chamber of Commerce talking with
the leading business men, and from them
learned that the travel has been large since
the fair closed, and that there have been
many accessions to the permanent residents
from persons in search OF comfortable
homes.
All of these Pacific coast cities have an
excellent climate, although each has fea-
lures of It's own. The black current, which
flows by Japan up around the lower shores
of Alaska and then down by Puget Sound
and of the coast of Oregon, acts as a great
hot water plant to make the winters warm.
Seattle is never cold and in Portland the
thermometer seldom falls below 20 degrees
above zero. At the same time the summers
are never hot and the moist air paints the
cheeks of the children and young women
with roses. Indeed, the girls of our north
west have compilations equal to those of
Scotland, Ireland and England, where the
gulf stream is the painter.
The grass is green in Portland all the
year round and the roses bloom from

Big Irritation schemes.

I am surprised at the irrigation schemes
which are projected and being carried on
here and there throughout our western
states. A very important one IS in Oregon,
I'm the Deschutes river valley. There are
now three companies there rcdeeming lands
TO the amount of about 10000 acres. They
are working under the government reclama-
ton projects. the government giving the
lands to the settlers, who are to pay fixed
rates for the water rights. The companies
will charge about so per acre for such
rights, ana after that a maintenance fee
OF 81 per acre per year. In those regions It
is estimated that eighty acres is a good
sized farm and at that rate the valley will
furnish about 1000 farms, giving II a popu-
lation Of 10000 souls Another project is to
reclaim the great Silver lake desert by the
surplus waters of the Deschutes river,
which now run to waste In the winter time.
one OF the largest city irrigation schemes
is that OF the Owens river. This is 10 be
brought over the mountains TO Los Angeles
from about 800 miles away. II will give
water TO 10000 acres. and at the same time
furnish tho city with all II can use and
give II an enormous water power The cost
OF the undertaking win DO something like
s25.Oo0.0O0. The river is now flowing along
in valley higher than the tops OF the
Alleghenies in Pennsylvania. The valley
is about ten miles wide and over 100 miles
long. and between It and Los Angeles are
more than 800 miles OF deserts and noun
tains. In order TO bring It 20 the city Il
will have to be taken for a great part OF
the distance through a mighty canal Il
Will have to pass through mountain tunnels
for twenty miles. and the tunnels will each
be as wide as a country road and as high
as a Pullman car. They will. however, be
used only for the water.
For part OF the way the canal will 20
