London, December 13.-The recently pub

contracted with Chicago firms for the
supply of 1O0OO,00 pounds of corned beef
was referred to in the House of Commons
this afternoon by questioner who sug-

however, denied that any such contract
has been placed. but added that owing to
the stringent new regulations of the
American government the war office did
not anticipate the slightest danger to
the health of the soldiers resulting from
supplies of food from this source.

Viola Gillette Opera Co.


The Viola Gillette Opera company, which
comes to the Jefferson theatre this after
noon and tonight promises to be one of
the best musical offerings of the season.
according to the Montgomery (Ala.) Ad-
vertiser, which says:
The company that presented 1.-THE Girl
and the Bandit at the Montgomery thea
tire last night came without much osten-
tation, but as a singing company, there
have been few organizations seen this
year to compare with it. The glad time
has not yet come, when a musical comedy
company is both musical and funny. Prob
ably the greater number of them are
strong on comedy and weak on music. But
the company which presented 1.-The Girl
and the Bandit reversed the general
rule and excelled in the more difficult
department of music, while the comedy
in the main was allowed to take care of
itself.
Miss Viola Gillette, the head of the
company, is handsome, a very hand
some, young woman. In the last act,
when she strobe out on the stage in a
stunning, snug fitting costume Of pure
white, a costume in which skirts had no
place at all, distinct murnur of admi-
ration arose from the audience. Pauline
Hall in her palmy days did not look any
nicer. 1t was the most statuesque figure
the local stage has shown in a long time.
The scenes are laid in Venice, and the
Italian mountains. This gives opportuni-
ty to the management to dress a hand
some chorus in some costly and impress
sive costumes. 1t gives opportunity, too,
for the author to run in some fine Vene-
tian and gondolier music.

1.-THE Royal Chef"

THE Royal Chef" a musical comedy
which has been having successful run
in Chicago and New York, is billed for
two performances. afternoon and night,
at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow. The
management of the company has ex-
pended a small fortune on the scenic eff
fects and costumes and it is said to be
one of the most elaborate productions of
the season. There is not too much plot
to 1.-The Royal Chef" but it gives a
chance for lot of handsome young wom-
en- to wear stunning gowns and for the
coprs of clever comedians to introduce
novel specialties.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Jefferson.

"At Yale" the new college play writ
ten by owen Davis especially for Paul
Gilmore. who takes the leading role, is a
pure, wholesome story dealing principal
iy with the college life of Dick Shelley in
his senior year at Yale. The whole play
is brimful of the merry making of the
college boy and leads one into the spirit
at the very beginning. Mr.. Gilmore
seems to have brought into the play the
very atmosphere of the campus. His act
ing is altogether natural and unaffected
and there is a certain element in his
whole hearted interest and earnestness
that makes Dick Seeley a most admira-
BILE character.
While the story centers around the boat
race between Harvard and Yale there is
a delightful little love story that runs
through the play. Jack Randall and
Dick Seeley are room mates at Yale, and
two devoted friends. Jacks father, moth
er and sister come to the college in order
to witness the boat race, in which Dick
and Jack are two of the foremost particl-
pants, in fact Dick is the stroke of the
crew Dorothy Randall and Dick, OF
course fall deal i'm love with each other.
No true love ever ran straight, however,
any many ups and downs. caused by Dave
Burnley, a jealous substitute on the crew.
occur He does everything in his power
to prevent Dick from entering the race in
order that he being first substitute, might
enter himself, and comes very near sue
ceeding. Dick being delayed by Burley' S
schemes enters the boat house just in time
to take his place in the boat. and leads
his crew to victory. The closing act fixes
the love of Dorothy and Dick and all ends
we'll.
The scenery in the play is altogether
suitable for such a story. Dick Seeley
and Jack Randall's room in Vanderbilt
hall in New Haven, is a typical college
boys room and forms a delightful setting
for the first act. The boat race is very
realistic and is fitting climax to the
play. The closing scene. which represents
the exterior of Hotel Briswild, Eastern
Point, New London, Conn, is pretty and
effective
Several songs were sung which added

YOU and Loves Young Dream" by
Mr.. Gilmore, and Love Me and the World

of men, the four women who participate

more's geniality and heartiness and por-

side of the college life are the making of
a pleasing hero, as was demonstrated last
night when Mr.. Gilmore was forced to
make a curtain speech.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-07-25

The saloon issue is to enter largely
into the state election in the state Of
Washington, next fall.
The anti-saloon forces of the state
are now we'll organized and efforts
will be made to pledge prosecuting at
torneys and sheriffs to strict law en-
forcement before nomination.
The Spokane Orator an art and
educational paper which is represent
tative of the progressive element and
sentiment of decency, says of the COM
ing election in Washington, and its
bearing on the liquor interests:
The men who are elected to the leg
islature of the state of Washington
and to be the prosecuting attorneys of
its various counties for the next two
years will be supported by the liquor
men, or fought by them and supported
by the anti-saloon men.
The immense victories won by the
anti-saloon men in the recent Oregon
| elections by which three hundred sa-
looms have been closed have reused
the liquor interests to a realization of
the fact that their business lives are
destined to be throttled in this state il
men favorable to them are not sent to
the legislature.
They also realize that the laws now
on the statute books of Washington
are sufficient to control sufficient
per cent of their business to take
away all of It's profits IL the prosecute
ing attorneys would enforce them.
Party lines are being completely ig-
nOred and the one burning question
with the saloon and liquor men Is not,
does the man proposed for the legis-
lature or prosecuting attorney belong
to my party, nor yet docs he visit sa-
looms, but rather. will he support those
measures and enforce those laws
which are directed against the very
life OF my business?
on the other hand the anti-saloon
league. which is carrying its work to
every part of the state. is looking for
men who can be relied upon to lend
every effort in the next legislature to
vote for local option law that will
give the people of each precinct in
the state the right to say whether a
saloon shall locate in their midst or
not.
The anti-saloon league is also quiet
ly and effectively working for the Sc
lection of men to be prosecuting at
torneys who will see to it that the laws
relating to the sale of liquor are
strictly enforced. Neither side is pay
ing any attention to party lines and
the question of election of the next
legislature and of the prosecuting at
torneys will not be determined by the
fact that those elected belong to q
particular party, but by the fact that
they found favor with the saloon men
or the anti-saloon men of their dis
tricts, as the case may be.

THE WORLDS BIGGEST WHEAT RANCH

from 800 to 1000 bushels of grain
daily.
incidentally, Joe Miller. who is the
oldest of the Miller boys, owners of
l01 ranch, takes off his hat to the in
ventor of the blower and stacker. He
says 1t Is one of the greatest labor
saving device ever made. An en-
ployer Of 400 men can appreciate that.
BY the way, there is never any dearth
of harvest hands at the 101 ranch.
Applicants always apply there first.
on the Miller ranch the harvesters
eat and sleep in the field, as they are
from one to 10 miles away from the
house. A cook wagon, very much like
the owl lunch wagons you see down
town in cities stays by them out in
the field.
There is a little counter in It and
stools for the men, while the rear is
taken up with the cook stove and a
refrigerator. The men go to bed by
the simple process of lying down on
the ground, pillowing their heads upon
a shock of wheat and pulling a wagon
over them for comfort. The mules
do not eat in the field. They are fed
at the ranch stables, where 400 to 500
of them are allowed to fill up on corn
and oats all night long. This is their
only meal in the "a hours. but it is
one that lasts.
The 1O1 ranch wheat crop, although
mammoth is not its only one. The
big tract of land. leased from the
Ponca Indians also produces 10000
bushels of corn a year, 5000 tons of
prairie hay. 5000 tons of alfalfa hay,
and 1t supports $1,000 cattle and 5000
hogs.
Joe Miller, 3S. conducts general SUI
pervision over the farm and signs the
checks-and he can sign pretty big
ones If he does do it with lead PEN
ell. He also communes with the In
dian landlords in the Ponca tongue.
Next is Zach. who looks out for the
$4,000 cattle and the cowboys, and
who does most of the travelling.
George is the office man and keeps
in constant communication with all
parts of the ranch and the United
States by local and long distance tele-
phone.
They have 200 acres in cotton at
101 ranch this year They have more
than that in watermelons. The cotton
is an experiment.
Says Joe Miller: "If it turns out all
right, We'll plant some"

Some of the early spring sowing
and late fall sowing suffered the
greatest damage from the heated
winds. This grain was just chang
ing from the milk stage to the dough
stage. Some of this grain in certain
sections will go very light. but none
of It was damaged so much that any
OF the ranchers are cutting 1t for fod-
der.
THE only wheat fodder cut is for
the purpose of providing hay for the

Everything taken into considera-
ton, the farmers OF the famous
Horse Heaven are to be congratulate
ed. After carefully examining the
grain and going over the ground very
thoroughly, 1 judge there will be an
average yield of between is and 20
bushels. Some will go 80 bushels
but some yields light, too, you must
remember. At Hover, Kennewick

FOR FIVE JUDGES.
Law VIII BE Introduced Increasing
the Supreme Court.

1t is given out on good authority
that bill will be introduced in the
legislature next winter to increase
the number OF judges OF the supreme
court from three to five, says the Sa
lem Journal
1t is a well known fact that the
supreme bench is behind in its work
and at the present time very large
number of suits of Importance are
piled up awaiting consideration. Ir
many instances this works a bis
hardship on the litigants and in some
instances the decisions come too late
to give the remedy they otherwise
would carry.
As 1t is, the judges are overworked
and there is always a temptation tc
hurry In the work and not give the
cases the time and attention thdy are
entitled to.
However, II has never been sale
that this has actually occurred ir
Oregon, but the supreme judges are
only human and, like every one else
could probably do the work better Il
they had less OF It to do.
1t is not known what member o.
the legislature will be sponsor fol-
this proposed bill, but It has been as
serted that section will be included
making It compulsory that not NOR,
than three of the five members o.
the new bench shall be of the sam,
political party.
