Curacao is one of the queerest little
Islands ID the Caribbean sea. It lies
sixty miles north Of Venezuela, Is about
sixty miles long and twelve or four
teen miles wide. and It has a popula-
ton OF more than 10000.
There is no means OF procuring fresh
water gu the island except by saving
rainwater In reservoirs A number OF
wells have been bored under the SUI
pervision Of the Dutch government to
which it belongs. but each ended in a
failure.
A curious statement regarding these
borlngs Is made by the inhabitants Of
the island. They saw that IN each
and every case after certain depth
was reached the tools dropped out OF
sight, indicating that there Is no solid
foundation TO the island. The borlngs
were made in low places aud through
hills and III about thirty different
places, each with the same ultimate
result A few wells have been dug
TO a lesser depth and bracSish, I'M
pleasant tasting water f. obtained, III
only for manufacturing psrposes
The approach Of the rainy season Is
always en- interesting time. The wac

SCARCITY OF
HARVEST HANDS
PalOuse Farmers Competing
For Labor in Lewiston
Market

The scarcity of harvest laborers in
the Genesee country has compelled
thresher men to come to Lewiston for
men to operate their machinery, and
even the local supply is not sufficient
to fill the demand
George Kennedy. representing Brown
brothers of near Genesee, was IN the
city this morning in search of an en-
@ineer, sack sewer and forker. The
wages in the Genesee country are Sc
for engineer, $3.50 to 81 for sack sew
ers and 81 for forkers, with board
furnished.
Mr.. Kennedy states that every train
coming into that section of the Pa
louise country from the north is met
by farmers and threshing machine op-
orators and the man who has his labor
to sell has no trouble in getting the
top wages for his services.

OPENING PLAY
OF THE SEASON
"The Little ePrOSpectOr" New
Western Comedy Drama
Thursday Night

One of the most promising plays OF
the coming theatrical season Is "The
Little Prospector," a comedy drama,
which Manager Kroutinger has chosen
to open the Temple on Thursday, Aug
p. THE Little Prospector" was writ
ten especially for "Chic" Perkins by a
master hand in stagecraft, and the
lines and business" fit her like kid
glove.
The character of the self assertive
Independent, yet lovable. daughter OF
degenerate physician is interpreted
with charm that wins the audience
and sets the gallery gods in a rurore,
and the real critic is the gallery goos
he is honest to himself and the players
and he won't stand for "phoney"
goods.
Chic" Perkins is surrounded with
group of theatrical satellites that are
an important factor IN the success OF
the new play and give the magnetic
little star excellent support, which
causes The Little Prospector'' TO
run as smooth as the waters of a
mountain brook. There is an element
of pathos in the drama that Is not
overworked, and the comedy is of the
"slap-stick" order, but Is clean and re-
fined, yet the situations never fa-l to
bring roars of hearty laughter
There Is an indescribable charm
about THE Little Prospector' as In
terpreted by "Chic" Perkins that makes
the play success, for it tells the story
of human emotions in which love. hate
and romance are skillfully blended by
a playwright of international fame.
'uccess from financial and art site
standpoint has crowned the efforts of
the strenuous and magnetic "Chic."
and the little star deserves the laurel
of fame.

FRAUD CASES
COMING ON
Department Of Justice An
nOunceS Prompt Pros
eCutiOn In West

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Attorney-
General Bonaparte has returned to his
desk in the department of justice, and
it is expected that he will soon take
up numerous cases in which the gov
ernment is interested in all lportions
of the country. Charles w. Russell
acting head of the department during
the absence of the attorney general,
said that he knew of no change in the
status of the Oregon land fraud cases,
and so far as the department is in
formed the trial of these cases is to
go on as originally planned. Nor has
the department any new information
concerning the reported indictment of
Senator Borah of Idaho. Possibly, Mr..
Russell said, the Oregon and Idaho
district attorneys may have communi-
Gated directly with the attorney gen.
eral in reference to these cases ana
he may have some plans concerning
them which are not known to the de-
partment.
