for the last time at the Orpheum last
night by the Streeter- Bryan company

of the most successful plays the COM

creasing the quality of the plays, the
clever stock company is increasing in
favor every night. The company is
composed of really good actors and the
plays are presented with an air of re-
ality that lends a charm to the play it,
self. Tonight the bill is 1.-The Little
Stowaway' play that is new in this
part of the country and one whose ex-
cellence is vouched for by Mr.. Streeter.

LOOKS ROSY FOR ELECTRIC LINE.

Engineer Mexican who is at the head
of interests now engaged in building an
electric line from Lewiston to Pomeroy
via Asotin filed on valuable water
rights on the Tucanon, Tuesday, the
necessary papers and legal matters in
connection with the requirement of the
rights being filed at Dayton, the
county seat of Columbia county The
rights fled on two in number, will en-
able the company to generate 10000
horsepower which will be used in con-
nection with the electric line from
Pomeroy to Lewiston. From all indi-
cations there is little doubt that the
Pomeroy line is an assured fact and
there are excellent reasons to believe
that the line will not stop at Pomeroy
but will be extended on to Dayton AMI
Walla Walla and thence to the Column
bia river to connect with the open
river fleet of steamers. A large quantity
of material for the Pomeroy line has
already been contracted for and Mr..
Mexican is arranging for the assembl-
ing of construction forces.

MEANS MUCH FOR UMATILLA
COUNTY.

Government forces, employed on the
UmatilIa irrigation project are bend
ing every energy to complete this
splendid project by May 10 when water
will be turned onto several thousand
acres.
The completion of the Umatilla pro-
ject will mark an epoch in the history
of Umatilla county and will prove a
prime factor in settling heretofore
arid waste of land with prosperous hap
py people. The reservoir supplying
water for the reclaimed land will be
approximately three miles long. one
mile in width and from 20 to 40 feet in
depth. The dam necessary to retain the
immense volume of water that the re-
servoir will hold, will be approximately
1000 feet in length with a thickness of
nearly 400 feet at the base The build
ing of the dam has been one of the big
engineering feats of the west and has
necessitated the employment of a large
force of men and teams for over year.
