THE SUMNER THfATER
AT EASTlAKE PARK
A Stock Company Has Been Engaged
to Open The Season About the Mid
die Of June.

For the past month there has been
considerable inquiry about the ar
engagements for a stock company 10
furnish entertainment for the people
who will remain in the city during the
coming summer. There has been con-
siderable rumor rife that no shows
would be given at Eastlake park this
season, Charles Burger and Charles
Sanichas having severed their connec-
ton with the theatrical venture for the
present. On account of the passing of
the time when the announcement of
the engagement OF a company to play
at Eastlake park is usually made. the
rumor had generally been accepted as
a fact.
However the impression that prevail
ed will be definitely corrected and all
doubt in the matter set at rest with
the official announcement by Mr..
Mitchell superintendent of the Phoenix
Railway company last night to the
Republican that as early as June a
company will arrive in the city which
will play at the park during the COM
ing summer. Mr.. Mitchell says all the
plans have been made and carried out.
but that the announcement of the COM
pany's name and the cast of players
will be deferred for a few days. 1t IS
positively stated that the company en-
gagged is composed of eastern actors
of ability and experience. capable Of
staging high class dramas and COM
edies. and with number of speciality
actors, furnish the public with an en-
tirely satisfactory and excellent num-
Der Of plays. The bill will be changed
twice a week. The Berryhill company
which is noted as a dispenser of deli
cious soft drinks will have charge OF
the refreshment stand at the park
which will guarantee the best in that
line.
For summer widowers and widows
and the young and the old who remain
in the city during the heated term
Eastlake park and its summer theater
furnishes a place for a pleasant even
ing's enjoyment. Mr.. Mitchell an
nounces that numerous improvements
will be made in repairing the building
and stage and the floor will be placed
in good shape for dancing. 1t is prob
able that The Walter Walsh Stock
company will give the play "Charley's
Aunt" sometime next week at the park,
the company having been requested to
repeat the show for the benefit Of those
who unfortunately did not attend be-
fore. The company will go TO Mesa
tonight

THE TOWN OF PHOENIX
DOOMED IN CASIIlIAN
The Guaymas "imparcial' Prints an
interview With A. Redewill of This
City.

The following is a translation Of an
in the "Guaymas impartial" of May
S in which he pays a glowing tribute
TO his native city Phoenix:
We had the pleasure of pleasant
visit from Mr. A. Redewill of Phoenix,
Arizona who comes to Sonora twice
yearly in the interest Of his piano bust
ness.
While actively engaged in the sales
of his musical instruments-in which
he is very successful he never neglects
the opportunity to put in a good word
for Arizona and particularly for Phoe-
nix which he calls the Paradise of the
Southwest. Mr.. Redewil is right, for
it is increditable the great progress
made i'm that city and the Salt River
valley the past few years. There are
seven large and small irrigating canals.
one of which is over sixty miles long
and having cost hundreds of thousands
of dollars
With the great undertaking at Ton
TO, of a reservoir and diversion dam
which will cost over three millions and
a half Of dollars. immense fields of all
kinds of cereals. vast fruit orchards
and extensive lands adopted TO various
grasses will be reclaimed and which
will make the Salt River valley the
granary of the southwest with Phoe-
nix as its great commercial center.
Mr.. Redewill dwells enthusiastically
on the next great Territorial fair,
which he assures us will eclipse all
previous undertakings OF the kind.
Says Mr.. Redewill: 1t will be the
greatest. most instructive. successful
and enjoyable of fairs ever held I'm
Arizona. The fastest trotters, PAGERS
and running horses in the United
States will be there and big prizes will
he awarded the winners; many cash
prizes to be given to the exhibitors
deserving of it; a plethora of amuse-
ments will be on the tapis; all sorts
of games Will be played: midway
plaisance. side shows. etc..-thus a joy
Gus time will be had for very small
sums of money
Mr.. RedewilI speaks of Phoenix Just
as boastfully as foreigners would speak
of Paris. London. Berlin. and other
great world capitals where there is life
and activity. wherein capital is at
tracted to develop the magnificent re-
sources surrounding that beautiful
capitol city OF Arizona.
Let US not forget what enthusiastic
Redewill informed US of-that is the
building up of several transcontinental
railroads which will add to the devel-
opment and wealth OF that favored
city. How much Phoenix would gain
in having many such missionaries as
Redewill. who never fail to make such
and enthusiastic illusions to
that beautiful and progressive growing
American city-Phoenix."

Rally in Lunenburg

The meeting OF the County Teachers
Association, held at Lunenburg Court
house, April Sd, 4th and 9Th, was the
most successful educational rally our
county ever witnessed.
The meetings were presided over By
MIR. l.. ~. Wilkinson, our youthful coun-
tty superintendent of public schools, OF
whom we feel very proud, because he
was bred and born in 1.-The Old Free
State" OF Lunenburg, and at the age
OF twenty-one years holds the impor-
2tnnt and responsible position mem
toned above.
We poor teachers wero generously
defended by our sympathizing Com
1nonwcalth's attorney, who conscicn-
tiously declared til tanot one OF the
Lunenburg teachers would be left by
the wayside in the great, progressive
educational movement that already has
begun throughout our State.
He cmphatically declared that in
competency had never been, nor could
be, brought against us. He mentioned
aftcrward thatIElt was the 1uclsiest
stroke of political diplomacy he had
done since he announced himself as n
candidate for Office, as the teachers
represented themselves ably in num-
bcrs.
