Splendid Production of THE Burgomas-

The regular season at the Rhode
Opera House came to a close Friday
evening and the closing performance
was splendid production of the tune

company was an entirely competent one
and all of the leading roles were well
taken, while the chorus was one of best
singing choruses ever heard in Keno
sha. Ruth White and Gus Weinberg.

company and their every appearance on
the stage was signal for encores.
Manager Rhode has not as vet out
lined his plans for the summer months,
but it is probable that Kenosha will
have plenty of amusement and that the
Rhode will be open most, if not all
of the summer.

Vi,y Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted Ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do
not for moment imagine that colds
are not dangerous. Everyone knows
that pneumonia and chronic catarrh
have their origin in a common cold.
Consumption is not caused by cold
but the cold prepares the system for
the reception and development of
the germs that would not otherwise
have found Judgment. Il is the same
with all infectious diseases. Diphthe-
ria, scarlet fever, measles and
whooping cough are much more like
ly to be contracted when the child
has cold. You will see from this
that more real danger turks in a cold
than in any other OF the common
ailments. The easiest and quickest
way to cure a cold is to take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The many
cures effected by this
preparation have made 1t . staple

the world. For sale BY all druggists.

by the road. These trees produced
more than 900 cars of shipping fruit.
During the present year about 1,0O0,-
900 fruit trees have been set out in
new orchards, which will be in full
bearing in seven years. One orchard
of 1000 trees two years old this
year shipped 5000 boxes of peaches.
Several orchards on the line of this
road are paying their owners from
5000 to $500 a year for each acre OF
trees
Colonel Dewey said that in addi-
ton to the foregoing there is 10000
acres of land, other than orchards,
now only partly under cultivation Ow-
ing to the lack of transportation IA
cilities, also one thousand million feet
of standing timber. which cannot be
marketed until railroad is built.
The building Of smelter is assured
as soon as there are facilities for
hauling in coal and coke and hauling
the products out of the district.

ELECTRIC RAILWAY IN OKANO-
GAN

Spokane, Oct. 21-Okanogan coun-
ty, in the extreme north central part
of Washington, now traversed by
stage and freight lines operated by
horses and automobiles, is to have an
electric railway before the close of
another year. Col. Albert NJ. Dewey,
of Spokane, president of the Okano-
gan Electric railway company, incor-
porated under the laws of Washing
ton, with a capital stock of $4,000
600 and an authorized bond issue of
$4,000,000, announces that the sale
and that work will begin soon. The
line and equipment will cost $2,621,-
$50.
The company has g 59-year fran
chise, right-of-way and charter for a
steam or electric railway of 80 miles
from Nighthawk, where it will con-
meet with the Victoria Vancouver and
Eastern extension of the Great North
ern railway, giving it outlets to Spo-
kane on the east, and Puget Sound
points on the west. The main line
will pass through LOOMS, Okanogan,
Ophir, MaIott, Brewster and the @. S.
mines, near which a smelter will be
built, and there will be branches to
Conconully, Omak, Riverside and
other desirable points.
The company owns water rights,
which will develop not less than
80, 900 horsepower Part of this will
be utilized by the railway, the rest
being sold for light and power to
mines and manufactures and lighting
towns on our line says Col. Dewey.
''The present population of Okano-
gan county is about $4,000, showing
an increase of 176 per cent from
1900 to 1905. Five new towns will
be built on the line and four of these
should have five thousand or more
population within five years, while
the other is bound to be near the So
900 mark.
From Fish Lake to the Columbia
river the road passes through the
center of one of the greatest irrigated
districts in America. The federal
government has about completed ir-
rigation bitches to reclaim some 49,
coo acres of arid or semi-arij lands,
and hundreds of five and ten-acre
tracts have already been sold for fruit
culture. Between the territory served
by the government bitches and the
Columbia River is 10000 acres of as
good land about to be put under
water by private irrigation compa-
MES. 1t is estimated that not less
than 10000 and possibly 10000 cars
of fruit year will be shipped from
this district in the next seven years.
There were al orchards with
10000 bearing trees in 1907. on

Police Reports Show Great Increase
in Number Of Accidents.

in Number Of Accidents.
From the Daily Mirror.
LondOn's streets are not becoming safer
according to the annual report Of the com.
missioner of police for the metropolis, is
sued last evening During last year there
was a very marked increase In the num-
Der of accidents causing death or injury.
Fatal accidents numbered 2S3. an increa So
of seventy-one over the preceding years
figures. while in accidents causing nom
fatal injuries an increase Of 2.712 Is re-
corded. the total for 1907 being 1912
The most striking feature of the accidents
was the great increase in the number Of
those caused by motor vehicles of all
classes.
Thus the number Of deaths caused by
motor vehicles rose from g. in 1906 to 1O1
in 1907 and the non-fatal accidents rose
from 2, "a to 3,152.
The marked characteristic OF the figures
relating to the licensing OF public vehicles
Is the decline in hanson cabs and the cor
responding increase in motor cabs
During the year 600 fewer hanson cabs
were registered. while the number Of
motor cabs increased by G27.

The ameer has published an edict. which
applies to all parts Of Afghanistan. pro
hibtting the import into the country of
all kinds Of gold lace. including elnbroid-

The ameer is evidently actuated By de-
sire to prevent his subjects from spending
their hard-earned money on snowy dress
IT is the poorer classes who are notori-
Ously addicted to this extravaganza which
his majesty has decided to check. The
gold-laced coat Of the Afghan is decidedly
handsome. and although the ameer has
acted wisely In bringing into genera, use
clothing less costly. his mamsty's orders
will doubtless be received by his subjects
with rather mixed feelings.
