LAST COMIC OPERA OF SEASON
An Excellent Composition With In
different Presentation.

Last night Pendleton saw its last
comic opera for this season. 1t was
the "Tenderfoot" with the famous Os-
car Figman in the leading role. In the
past Figman has had a reputation
here. and many were there last night
because his name was upon the
boards. And the performance given
was appreciated and laughed at.
But the show was not what was ex-
pected of Oscar Figman. He was
chased by "cowlet," said many clev-
er things and was the life of the play.
But with the bunch about him last
night he did not appear to the advan-
tage he has upon former occasions.
To say that the support was weak for
such high grade play as the ''Ten-
derfoot" is putting it mildly. Several
of those in the caste were here last
fall with the Zinn Travesty company
and some of the rest had apparently
been recruited from similar aggrega-
tions.
The "Tenderfoot" was not greeted
with any stormy appreciation and
there are few who enjoyed the play
as well as they did Max Figman when
he appeared here in "The Mn on the
Box" last fall, despite the fact that
the reputation of Oscar Figman has
previously been greater than that OF
his brother.

SNIYTHE HAS RETURNED.
Denies Story of Untimely Death
New York Larger Than Chicago.

Dan p. Smythe. now commonly
known as Charley Ross, has arrived
home from an extended trip trough
the east, which he took after attend
ing the meeting of the stockmen's
committee in Washington. He reach
ed the city on the $50 train from
Spokane last night and has now en-
tered upon his duties as sheep COM
missioner to which he was appointed
by Governor Chamberlain during his
absence.
After finishing his work in WASH
ington Mr.. Smythe visited in some of
the southern states, passed a week or
more in New York and also at va
rious places of interest on his way
westward. He declares that he en-
joyed his trip greatly, especially his
stay in New York, which place he
says is good town and larger than
Chicago. He was much astonished
on returning home to find that his
parents and friends had been alarm
ed over his absence and he denies
the various stories regarding his un-
timely death.

FIGHTING BOOK TRUST.
Baker City Book Stores Appeal to
Textbook Commission.

The retail dealers in school text
commission to protect them from the
ravages of the publishers when that
body meets this year, says the Baker
City Herald. They claim that they
are being held up and made to sell
textbooks at loss to satisfy the GU
pidity of the wholesalers.
Under the law as it now exists the
state textbook commission, which
considers changes in books every six
years, fixes the rate at which these
books may be sold. Publishers give
the retail dealers 1914 per cent off
from this price. The retail dealer
pays the expressage and all incidental
charges, and when the operating ex-
penses of conducting his store are
figured in, it costs about Is per cent
to handle the books, or 1914 per cent
less than the cost price.
Dealers all over the state are up in
arms over this outrage, that they term
the action of the publishers, and some
kind of concerted action will be taken
to force them to give the retailer a
chance to live.
I'VE do not ask that the price on
textbooks be raised" said Carl Adler
today; "all we want is that the pub
Usher share up the profits with us,
and not compel us to sell at loss.
We are going to bring the matter up
before the commission this year, and
present the case impartially before
them; so that there will probably be
a change made in our favor as a re-
suit"

to be called "a daily" was the Daily
Courant, issued in London March IL,
1902, by "E. Mallet, Against the Ditch

to give only foreign news. The editor
assured his readers that he could not
take upon himself to give any COM

people to have sense enough to make
reflections for themselves" The
