Dr. Blake was seen today by a rep

stated that all eases of smallpox in

pest-house near the river, where they
are being properly cared for.

WILL TEST
THEATRE LAW
Sunday Theater Law to be Tested.
Growth in Farm Telephones.
Gellatly Sells.

Seattle, Dec. IA new point Is
to be raised before the supreme
court to test the constitutionality Of
the Sunday closing law as affecting
theaters. Although Prosecuting At
torney Macintosh has moved for the
dismissal of the cases against Seattle
theater managers, the case of Frank
Donnallan, manager of the Star. will
be taken to the higher court by stipu-
lation.
The law is to be attacked on the
ground that when the state consti-
tuition was adopted, territorial laws
having a local application were re-
pealed. The Sunday closing law had
a clause which excepted Snohomish
county and the attorneys for the the
aters will contend that this was a 10.
tal application and that therefore the
law should have been repealed. The
law was thus drawn, it is said. to ex-
empt a legitimate theater, the only
one in the state, in Snohomish coun-
ty. The law was directed, it is said,
at mad houses

Muscatine, Iowa, Dec. 16.-The

when Billy Sunday, the baseball

AT massive mems meeting in the

over $4,000, the largest amount,
S505, being given by w. L.. Roach,
a lumberman, who is numbered
among the converts.
AT the meeting last night the
crowd was so great when the doors
were opened that less than half

were held in four churches. In tho

GROWTH IN FARM
TELEPHONES

The Wenatchee World publishes an
interesting story illustrating the pos
sibilities of farm cooperation. In
1903, according to the World, few
farmers decided to establish home
telephone line. The first year it
reached only some of the nearby
fruitgrowers. Then one girl was en-
ployed to operate the central station
and do exchange work. The second
season the farmers began to take an
active interest in the telephone sys-
tenn. Today it is considered one OF
the best financial investments in the
Wenatchee valley. Nine girls are re-
quired for the exchange. There are
500 instruments in the homes and
business houses of subscribers. The
stock is worth more thar par value

Some difficulty has been experience

Schools of Wenatchee, WASH, to
| Children of the Riis House.
An unusual Christmas present has
just come to the children of the Jacob
Riis Neighborhood House in Henry
street. Six weeks ago, when Mr..
Riis was lecturing in the Far West,
an invitation came to him to address
the public school children in Wenat-
chez, in the State of Washington.
Wenatchee is little town on the
Columbia river, at the foot Of the
| Cascade mountains, that bar the ap-
proach to the Pacific coast. They
raise apples in that valley on irri-
gated land the like of which for size
and beauty and flavor are hardly to
be found anywhere. So when Mr..
, Riis had told the children about
those other little Americans growing
up in the tenements of the faraway
metropolis and of house the constant
endeavor of the house in Henry
street was to bring together rich and
poor, Christian and Jew, all who
bear the American name, in a COM
mon effort to make it name to be
proud of, he asked the boys of the
Wenatchee schools to send box D
their biggest and reddest and juciest
apples to his giIls in the Riis House
as a neighborly Christmas gift; and
the girls TO send a like offering to
his boys.
The children voted with shout TO
do so, and row the apples have come.
But with true Western open-handed-
ness Wenatchee was not content to
send two There are twenty, and ap-
pies enough for every boy and girl
who comes to the house, unless the
news gets out and there is an apple
riot in Henry street, for which this
is not the season. The freight was
paid by the Commercial Club of the
Columbia River town, which sent
along the heartiest Christmas wishes
of the whole valley to boot.
