OF this mill Parker is putting him
self up against the hardest game

Two more widely different plays
, than Secret Service" and "All the
Comforts of Home" would be hard
to conceive and these two produc-
tions are both from the talented
pen Of VIM. Gillette.
From it's first appearance "All
the Comforts of Home" the play
to be produced during the coming
week at the Columbia theater by
the Byron Douglas company, scored
distinct hit and is now recog-
nized as one of the best written
comedies of the day.
From the rise of the curtain until
it's fall in the last act the play is
one unvarying. wholesome and side
splitting laugh. The story, in
brief, is that of an impoverished
London medical student who is sent
for by his uncle to live in and take
charge of the latter's London resi-
dence during the family's trip to
the continent.
The young student takes with
him the chum who has shared his
former poverty and, since neither
is overburdened with wealth. they
start devising means of replenisn-
ing their scanty purses. They fin
ally evolve the idea of renting out
rooms in the house, and the result
Is a series of amusing situations
which keep the audience continu-
ally laughing.
Mr.. Douglas will appear as AL
fred Hastings. the impoverished
nephew, role in which he made
Ia great success in the East, while
Miss Henriette Browne, the talent
ed leading lady of the company,
who has already become a prime
favorite with Spokane audiences,
will be seen as Fiji, the opera
singer.

Some Red Tape.

An exchange relates. A young
man and his father some five years
ago took claims adjoining and built
a house on the two, the kitchen room
on the son s claim and the rest on the
of the building on the fathers. In
this way they lived for five years and
cultivated the same. They advertised to
make five year final proof The father
was allowed to make proof but the son
was advised to 60 back home, build
a separate house on his claim, live on
it two yaers and then prove up. This
pahppened in Mclean county, and
shows plainly that Uncle Sam thinks
that as the land becomes more val
uabe the settler should be more partic-
ular and live up to the letter of the
aw "a we'll as the sentiment.

Expires. Companies and Railroads

There will have to be a shake. UP
in ths management of Express Com.
panies under the new law. AS it is
now the officials of railroads are off
cials of Express companies and vice
versa, which would indicate conspi
racy in restraint of trade. especially
as there is no competition betweene
express companies at joint points.
What the people are bound to have
before they get done legislating about
corporations is competition, or where
competition is not possible such just
rates as the situation demands. II
the new law is found not sufficient to
insure that, the law will be further
amended by Congress. Congress here.
after will be in the hands of the
people instead Of being as heretofore
