The"Madam Butterfly Grand
Opera Season at the y
Spokane Theater

Brilliant in every respect will be the
occasion when Mr.. Henry w. Savage

mating Madam Butterfly" the Japan
csc three-act grand opera which has
created such a furore in Europe that
1t will be heard simultaneously in six
continental music centers this season.
The coming of the opera to the Spo-
kane theater, for three performances,
commencing Monday, February rs, win
be an occasion of great musical mo
ment, not only because it is the first
production of the opera here, but the
first opportunity to hear the celebrated
singers who have provoked such enthu-
siastic comment in the east.
The production is made by Mr.. Hen
ry w. Savage, who has enjoyed ten
years of continued success with grand
opera repertoire in English. As the
climax of his activity in this direction,
he has centered his efforts in the for
nation of special company for the
exclusive presentation of madam But
terfly." In it's organization he was
greatly assisted by Walter Rothwell,
the Vienna conductor and pupil of
Gustav Mailer, and by the composer
Puccini himself, who personally recon-
mended several of the prima donnas.
The organization is composed of near
ly one hundred and fifty persons. It in
cludes three sets of principals, a com
plete chorus and an orchestra Of sixty
musicians. This latter feature is notable

Providence, R. I.-Only nine bodies
'Of the 10 recovered from the steamer
Larchmont, sunk last Monday night
after a collision with the schooner
Harry Knowlton, remained to be identi-

charges of cowardice brought against
the captain.

House for Several Seamen.
Seven men were killed and three
injured and considerable damage sus-
tanned by the vessel by an explosion
of the German steamer Vaidivia at

ported when the steamer arrived here.
The donkey engine boiler exploded

on the bridge, was buried in the de-
bris when found. He states that when
the explosion occurred everything ap.
peared to fall over the bridge onto the
deck and the superstructure above the
decks were torn open. All the life
boats were damaged, one so badly
that it was thrown overheard. The
smokestack fell down to the deck, but
was secured. All of the inner struc
lures abaft of the bridge were com
pletely torn out. When the explosion
occurred the steamer stopped and
everybody rushed to the rescue. The

LOOKS GOOD FOR COLUMBIA

Appropriations Are Not Cut Down in
the Senate Report.
The final reporting of the river and
harbor bill by the senate committee
removed all doubt as to the items re-
lating to Columbia river improve
ments. All items as inserted in the
house remained intact. The policy
thus indicated is to hasten to compile
ton projects already begun. If the
present managers, of the river and har-
bors matters remain in charge in fu-
ture sessions Washington items will
also be unchanged, excepting for
minor increases. The good results
were attained as result of the dele
cations of Washington, Oregon and
Idaho working together for harmony
as in no previous session.

Harry Corbett, the we'll known
sporting man and brother Of James ].
Corbett, ex-champion heavy weight
pugilist, was found dead this morn
ing. Corbett died of heart failure in
San Francisco.
In the Northwest baseball schedule,
which is being prepared, Seattle gets
the most games, probably 81. No
team in the league will play less than
sc.
There is still talk of matching Honey
Melody and Jack Dougherty to meet
in Milwaukee.
The Coast leagueTs south OF the
Oregon line do not regret losing Sc
attic, but Judge McCredie hates to see
his northern rival desert and will
make a strenuous effort to hold the
northern city and keep Lucas from
heading a successful league.
In a holly contested and intensely
exciting game of basket ball, Whitman
defeated Washington State college
Saturday afternoon by the score of
Is to IA.
The Spaulding ball has been adopted
as the social ball in the Northwestern
league for this season.
Rossland, B. C.-Torgal Noren Sat
urday broke his own Canadian champ
ionship record for ski jumping, doing
80 feet, his best previous mark being
"a feet. This was despite the fact
that the snow on the approach to the
jump off was soft and slow and not at
all favorable for record-breaking.
Nelson defeated Rossland in the
final game of the championship hockey
series by a score Of 4 to 2.
Charles ]. Swindells, the Bellingham
lawyer, has been signed by e. e.
Quinn, business manager Of the Spo-
kane Recreation company, to catch
and act as field captain Of the Spokane
team in the Northwestern league this
summer.
Various protests have been raised by
members of the Spokane Rod & Gun
club and interested citizens against
the passage Of a bill this year intro
duced in the state legislature at Olym-
pia requiring a license for fishermen as
well as hunters.
w. II. Lucas, president OF the North
western league, announces that he
would pick his whole staff Of umpires
this season from the east.
Probably nothing has happened to
stir up more interest in ice hockey
in the PACING northwest in the last
five or more years than the splendid
showing made by the Spokane puck
chasers at the Rossland midwinter
carnival which closed Saturday night.
War Is on between the University
of California and Stanford over the
date of the next annual track meet.
AS conditions exist at present it is
probable that no intercollegiate meet
will be held at all.

Idaho State Mine Inspector Makes In.
teresting Figures Public.
State Mine Inspector Robert N.
Bell has issued his second biennial re-
port on the mining industry of the
state. There were IL fatal accidents
in the mines of the state in 1906, as
compared with 0 in 1905, 10 in 1904
and 20 in 1908. Six Of this years ac-
cidents were from explosions, four
from falling ground, four from falling
down shoots and fillholes, and one
each from handling timber, tramway
and fall from staging.
In the very complete review of the
great mining section of the Occur
d'Alenes, it is shown that this district
last year produced SO per cent of the
lead, 81 per cent Of the silver, So per
cent Of the copper, 95 per cent of the
zinc and IL per cent Of the gold and
all the anthony of the state. The in
spector strongly urges the building Of
a large smelter in the Occur d'Alenes,
which he says would make so much
money that it would be a shame to
take it from the miners, and still re-
duce the cost of treatment SO per cent.
The total dividends paid from the
Idaho mines, while not given as en-
tirely accurate because the full reports
for the year we're not in by the time
the book was written, is given as ap-
proximately $70O0,000.

formation regarding the missing bank

5000, 900 cash, and that to disguise
himself he had his whiskers taken off.
Within a few weeks Walker has dis
posed of for cash 100000 worth of

now goes to show that Walker is
probably on a vessel bound for South

SEATTLE SALOONS
CLOSED SUNDAY
MORE ARRESTS MADE ON THAT
DAY THAN FOR YEARS.
saIoonkeepers Insist That Mayor
Moore Prosecute All Violators of the
Sunday Law-Tacoma Also Tries
Closed Sunday, Which Is Said to
Have Been a Dismal Failure.

Seattle, Feb. 17-There we're more
than for any Sunday for years. Bal
lard, Georgetown and Youngstown,
suburbs reached by trolleys, were
thronged by the thirsty.
The saloonkeepers held a meeting
and drew up resolutions against every
cigar store and restaurant, which they
laid before Mayor Moore and insist
that he prosecute. The sa1oonmen
state that they will compel the en-
forcement of the law to the limit. In
communications to the mayor and
chief of police the saloonmen declared
that in case of their failure so to do
complaint will be made of your re-
fusal to so prosecute, and proceedings
will be instituted against you for NAL
feasance, and forfeiture of your offices
will be demanded"
Mayor Moore will make no state
ment, but Chief Wappenstein init
mates that all information concerning
arrangements on the Sunday closing
law will be sent to the prosecuting at
torney. The chief points out that the
Sunday closing law is a state statute

Tacoma BibbIers Had FIasks.
Tacoma, Wash, Feb. 1S.-Although
the lid was held down tight in Tacoma
Sunday and not a cigar, newspaper,
or a drink was sold during the day,
Mayor George P. Wright's closed town
policy was a dismal failure.
Because the announcement that
the town would be closed was made a
week before the regime went into eff
feet, all drinkers were provided with
bottles and Sunday DRINKS were as
numerous as usual, and the closing of
newsstands caused great inconVe-
nience. Saloonmen state that next
Sunday will find newspapers, street
cars and theaters placed under the ban
Of the closing law. They declare that
they will swear out warrants against
all institutions doing business con-
Lrary 10 the state law.
The Sunday closing crusade is ac-
companIed by orders eliminating boxes
in saloons and restaurants, and for
bidding operation of slot machines.
