At the Keylor Grand.

"Uncle Josh Perkins a clever rural
comedy drama, will be in evidence al
the Keylor Grand theater on Wednes
day evening. AS a play it is said to
be wonderfully original in construc-
ton and possesses many thrilling sit
uations, while pathos and humor inter-
mingle all through the story, every
thing coming out as it should at the
end. The scenic pictures, divided be-
tween Uncle Josh's" farm in Vermont
and New York city, is one of the feat
ures of the play. Notwithstanding the
numerous humorous situations the
author has never once allowed the plot
to be lost sight of which combined
makes the play ore of intense hear
in crest. The theater clientele of Wal
la Walla can turn out in force to see
Uncle JOSH with the assurance tina
the play is all that it should be, a
least that is the verdict accorded it il

WESTERN SENATORS AND CON.
GRESHAM URGED TO WORK
FOR ITS CONTINUANCE.

The Cello canal must be placed on
the continuing contract basis.
Every substantial commercial and
agricultural interests in the Paci-
fic northwest demands that the Cello
canal be completed and the Columbia
river opened as far east and north as
navigation can be made possible. 1t is
imperative that the canal work be
placed on a continuing contract basis
and that the government thus provide
funds for it's rapid and economical
construction.
Letters are being sent to every SEN
ator and congressman in Oregon,
Washington and Idaho, urging that
they concentrate their efforts and at
the coming session compel congress to
recognize these facts, says the Port
land Journal.
Can Complete in Two Years.
Colonel S. w. Roessler, United States
engineer in charge of Columbia river
improvements, is credited with the
completed within two years if work is
pushed without interruption. Lack of
funds has prevented such a policy
although Colonel Roessler has, it is
said, used every resource and precau-
ton in the disbursement of the avail
able money from year to year and he
has made the meagre appropriations
go as far as they will reach.
That the Cello canal must be placed
on the continuing contract basis, the
Columbia river jetty,.is the determine
ton of all the great interests affected,
md a powerful effort will be exerted
at the coming session of congress to
secure action that will permit the en-
gineers to crowd on all possible forces

finish

THE WEST TO THE EAST.


In addressing the national rivers and
HORRORS congress at Washington, at its
December meeting in 1906, Hon
orable NJ Jones, of Kansas
City. president of the Missouri Valley
River Improvement association, was
particularly happy in voicing the call
of the west to the east for reciprocity
in action, and for continued action in
the work of making the rivers and the
harbors of the country what nature
intended them to be, but which mar.
for too long has neglected-the nat
ural highways and gateways of the
trade and commerce of the United
of the country Insisting that the time
had arrived for the general expansion
of our national policy towards all
works of internal improvement which
have. heretofore, occupied a subOrdi-
nate place in national expenditures
and that the greatest question in &C.
onomics today is the question of
transportation, Mr.. Jones thus happily
addressed the members of the con-
gress from the eastern. slopes of the
Alleghenies:
I'VE have been told that some of our
eastern friends are opposed to i'm
proving the western waterways. We
are not yet prepared to believe that.
We have a warm feeling for the east.
We remember in the times of drouth
in the west you sent us your old
clothes to wear. We remember when
you loaned us money at healthy rates
of interest-when we had good collat-
eral to offer We wish to inform you
that we are now wearing tailored
clothes and are buying your paper in
the west-when you offer us attractive
rates of interest and the proper amount
of collateral. We have always paid
willingly for the improvement of your
rivers and your harbors. But the time
has come when we are asking that the
great internal waterways-that the
great rivers of the west have some al
tention from the government and we
ask you of the east to take as liberal
a view of the question as the west did
when you desired the government to
improve your rivers and your har-
bors.'
1t was a call from the great west to
a cosmopolitan assemblage having but
one object in view-the adequate i'm
provement of the rivers and the har-
bors of the country under a fixed poll
cy, having no particular section to be
favored but embracing in its platform
the whole country and the waterways
and the harbors thereof. The speech
of Mr.. Jones, expressed in homely but
most forceful and truthful words, was
call to the east that was reciprocal
ed The justice of the demand with
the advantages to come from it's full
hllment no less than the inadequacy
of the railways to carry the freight of
ferings, make river and harbor i'm
nrovements assurei-if persistence ia
the demand continues.

ADJUSTMENTS
GROWING IN FAVOR.
Stock Company is Pleasing Wala Wal
la Theatergoers.

Before a larger audience that has
ever before filled the Orpheum theater
the Binnard company for the second
time played THE Black Flag" to an
audience which was interested and en-
tertained from the first raise of the
curtain 10 the final drop. The play is
good and as rendered by the COM
pany is one of the best comedy dramas
ever staged here. The special scenery
which Manager Binnard has had paint
ed for the piece constitutes much to
the interest of the play.
AS Lazarus Dave Williams made
the hit of the evening. Williams is a
comedian of the first order and de-
serves much credit for the way in
which he handled his part last night.
AS "Scarum- Blooded," Willard Feeley
did a comedy stunt which was good
for a laugh every time he appeared on
the stage. AS the old father, Harris
played his role with his usual ability
and made good. Montgomery, Miss
Murilla and Ethel Martell were all
good, better than most actors in high
err priced shows. Ellis did well in his
double capacity as shipmaster and ISL
and guide, and Miss Alice Round as
"Topsy Marroll'' was one of the best
of the evening. Ruth Glyndon" wife
of the old man, was more than passa-
bly, played by Julia Rogers. Love was
at hts best last night and did the dirty
work of the play in professional style.
Although always taking the character
of the villain, Love has become quite a
favorite by his clever acting.
With the IS. r. O." sigh out, the
crowds continued to come in and there
was little standing room available at
the end of the first act. Manager Bin
nard today stated that plans are under
Amusement for charging the audito-
rum and taking III the whole of the
first floor for the theater. If this is
done the Orpheum will be one of the
neatest little playmouses in the state.
I'VE don't claim to give the people
the best show in the country at the
price we are charging" said Manager
Binnard of the company today. But
We do claim to give the best show at
that price ever seen in this state
