T>EMPLE AUDITORIUM that finest
of all theaters in the west, will be
formally opened to Los Angeles
people Thursday night. when the Lam
bardi opera company will inaugurate
a season of five weeks of grand opera.
Every detail for this tremendous
series of events is arranged. The house
is ready now for it's inaugural; spick
and span, brand new, glittering with
Toll 30 foIak
gorgeous decorations, it stands waiting
the unfolding of it's doors, the assem-
bling of its people and the wave of the
conductors wand that will fill its vast
ness with melody divine. 1t is perfect
in every respect, and a performance
could be given there today did occa-
sion demand.
Theater Is Unequaled
The Auditorium is theater without
parallel. 1t is absolutely unburna BILE
II Is in reality one solid mass of stone
poured into forms in liquid state and
allowed 10 solidify. There is nothing tc
burn about 1t save the scenery and the
plush on the opera chairs. In his the
most important of all espeets-safety-
1t is absolutely peerless.
In vastness 1t will hold any other tive
theaters in town. The biggest play,
house now open can be put down inside
OF It and leave room for an ordinar,
audience around the edges. 1t Is thii
great capacity that makes possible tn,
low prices. These are not half wha

are only a fraction of what is charge,
by the ordinary travelling opera troupe
Ideal Arrangements
The arrangement OF the place is ideal
The acoustics are perfect. This is no
always the case, even in the mos

WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER u. 1906
Congress Should Not Hesitate.

The officials of the jamestown Ex-
position are in Washington to ask
Congress for a loan of $1,000, 900
from the National Treasury. The
security they offer consists of the
first $1,OO0.OOO taken in at the gates.
The use to which the money is to
be put is the further development
and identification of the grounds
and the adorrment of the general
buildings.
As the sum asked is only about "a
fifth OF the amount lent to the Off
cials OF the Louisiana Purchase EX-
position-those gentlemen having
obtained 'S4,6OO,OOO: as the repay
ment of it viii require only 100000
paid admissions; and as the use in
tended is the general good of an ex-
position in which the nation has a
genuine and sincere interest, the re
quest merits the careful and friend
y interest of Congress.

In a Washington Theater.

A hubbub was raised in some So
cial center not long ago because an
enlisted man in our army or navy
was permitted to sit near one of hrs
commissioned superiors. The man

fuss, and the population of the
whole settlement should have been

doubt, by an active press agent-sat
in their uniforms all through the
auditorium. IN boxes at either side
and here and there in the parquet
were their superior officers with
their wives.
Ju.t before the overture ended
there was a stir in one Of the boxes
nearest the stage. 1t was occasion
ed by the entrance of the President
of the United States, the COM
mander-in-chief of the navy. Every

And the curtain lifted on a gather

willing to be pleased with the play.

Bound 10 the Harvest.

The crops have long been under
cover. Farmer and financial editor
have now received their statements
from the elevators and the whole
salers.
The showing is a yield of corn
enough TO burst the national barns
and a crop of wheat only 5000. 900
bushels less than the record breaker
of 1901, which was 10000, 900 bush
els. Added TO this visible supply of
meal and flour must be average
yields of rye, barley. oats. and buck
wheat. The whole is a food store
for the winter and spring greater
than America and the world have
ever known.
Year after year, as the harvest in
creases, this same thought of big
ness is emphasized. But we must
not forget that the crop does not
increase by itself. The consump-
tion grows ProPortionateIy
Many things contribute to this
extra demand. The population has
increased. Other commodities have
been held this year and last at very
high prices. The failure of wages
TO keep pace with expenses has
turned the great mass of consumers
toward the comparatively cheap
grain diet. The reaction consequent
TO the beef exposures has had its
effect. Finally, the agitation in
favor of vegetarianism is gaining
ground on its merits.
We can contemplate our bursting
barns and overflOwing elevators
with justifable pride. But it viii be
we'll if we temper our satisfaction
with the thought that the barns of
ten years ago would never have held
last years consumption. The crops
Crow-and our needs grow with
them. Our dependence on the har-
vest is not a whit less than that of
the pioneer when he rcGps his first
wheat.
