Laundry work at home would be

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

the evening. .a~~

ia" and "Trinket." Peggy Brady"
The Goo Goo Man." THE Broomstick
Witches" and Little Maids of Nico-

mention. The chorus singing was
above the average of chOruses and the
dancing though there was but little,
was good. The duet, You ard l." by
Teresa" and "Katchall' was one of
the winning numbers of the first act.
The spactular part of the play was
of unusual merit and few more
beautiful finales have been staged
than that of the Star of Fate" at the
end of the first act. Altogether the
show is clever and amusing, full of
sparkling humor and lacking in any,
thing bordering on the vulgar, with
the possible exception of one song
fit show to open the season.

"Isie of Spice" at keyIor Grand ce-
lights Fashionable Audience.

Isle of Spice opened the season
last night at the Keylor Grand to a
large audience. The play is an Oriental
musical comedy on the style of the
"Ya,4kee Consul and Sultan of Sulu'
but lacking the satire in the plot Of
the latter. But it is a clever play and
well staged. John Mylie as Bonn
popka,'' king of Nicobar, was APP
preciated by the audience and made
a hit. The prima donna, Roberta Will
son, who sang the part of Teresa
the kings ward, was all that could be
desired in her part and her singing is
worthy of mention. Chas. Purcell as
Lieut. Katchall" was good although
he did not make of his part all that
was in it, AS comedians, H. B. Wit
liams and H. B. Watson as "Micky
O'Grady and "Slubsy Mackinaw" had
things their own way. From the time
of their descent in the war balloon un-
til the final fall of the curtain, they
kept the audience in a good humor.

ronized and not a good seat in the
house went begging. The play is one
of the most popular We. put on by the
Binnard company and will draw a
good house as long as it runs The
audience likes the characters of tom"
and Jim Hewens' and many have
come the second time to see the clev-
err little Rhode Island war drama.
To say who is making the biggest
hit in the play would be a difficult
matter But VIM. Harris, as Dad
Hewens'' is perhaps the best sustained
character, although Miss Martelle,
Miss Rounds, Feeley, Love and Mont
gomery are certainly clever in the
roles. Harris, as Dad" welcoming
Tom and Jim back from the war,
is one of the strongest bit Of acting
in the play and places him high in
the estimation of the audience.
The play appears tonight for the
last time. Beginning tomorrow night
another play of entirely different
character is put on in the presentation
of the Parish Priest" The play CEN
tiers around the priest who is said to
be one of the strongest characters
ever produced by the pen of modern
dramatiSt.
The theater is to be improved soon
for the comfort of the theatergoers,
one addition for this end being carpets
on the aisles. The playhouse is get
ting steadily more popular and the
bills are all good ones.

BETTER ROADS LEADING TO
GARDEN CITY.

With the rapid progress which Wall
la Walla is making, and with the i'm
por,ance which this city is acquiring
and maintaining as a commercial and
business center, the need of good
roads leading in every direction from
the Garden City, while apparent for
many years, is becoming an absolute
necessity if the ambition to make the
most of every opportunity and estab-
lish Walla Walla where it belongs
as the metropolis of the Inland En-
pire is to be realized.
Not only do the commercial inter-
ests of the city demand that the ques
tions of better roads should receive
immediate attention, but the farmers
are realizing that they also must as
sist in the work for better highways
in order to be able to reach theiT
markets at any and all times of The
year and secure the best prices for
their produce.
In determining the value of a farm
the roads are one of the first Consid-
erations and it is hardly an eXaggera-
ton to say thai tract of land ada
cent to highway over which reason
able loads may be hauled at all times
of the year is just about twice as
valuable as a similar tract where IT,
roads are practically impossible for
several months during the hauling
season.
Electric railways are of course an
other great advantage but they are
bound to be established in time
through the means of private enter
prise, and, as a matter of fact, are
being built throughout the Inland En-
pire as rapidly as corporations believe
the conditions will justify such eLter-
prise.
The questions of good roads is a
public one and will not be settled by
private capital looking for investment
The desired results must be accom-
plished by united effort on the part of
the public, particularly the business
interests and the farmers. The time
of the year is fast approaching when
there will be the usual complaint of
bad roads during the wet season. At
the present time the harvest carnival
is occupying The attention of the Com
mercial club and business men and
the farmers are busy harvesting their
immense crops.
Immediately following the harvest
will be the hauling season. 1t is not
too late yet this fall to do much for
the Improvement of the public roads.
A mass meeting of the business men
of Walla Wala together with every
farmer in the valley called for tie
purpose of not only discussing plans
for a good roads campaign. but also
for the purpose of accomplishing
something Immediately toward the de-
sired end, might start things moving
in the right direction. United effort
would bring about surprising results
and. since a number of prominent
business men and wealthy farmers
have already expressed themselves as
willing and anxious to contribute of
their time and means for the i'm
provement of all roads leading TO
Walla Walla. il has been sugge stel by
several interested men that the fam
ers and merchants give the PROPOSE
ton consideration until after the car
nival when it is hoped that meeting
will be called at the Commercial club
rooms to take some action toward the
betterment of conditions.
