At the Park opera house. Friday,
Dec. is, the attraction will be The
Farmers Daughter" which is briefly
described as rural play telling a
truthful and vivid stageland story of
the course of natural events and epi-
sodes wherein a true woman loves
and marries man unworthy of her.
1t invariably follows that the trust
ing wife suffers through her mis-
placed confidence, and eventually
finds haven of rest. after a tempest
tossed unhappy life. The Farmers
Daughter" is one of the best plays of
the bucolic type in recent years. and
is being widely proclaimed as the
successor of THE Old Homestead"
and Way Down East"

Washington, Jan. 3.-"Within a
week or ten days the department OF
justice will issue statement regarding
the ownership by the Union Pacific oil
stock OF the Southern Pacific" said At
torney General Bonaparie. at had
been contemplated to issue the state
ment earlier, but the absence In Eur
ope OF special counsel employed by the
government has caused the delay"
While the attorney general will not
admit at this time that the statement
will be the announcement OF proceed
ings against the Union Pacific for vio-
lstion of the law prohibiting restraint
OF trade, there is excellent authority
for the statement that 1t will be. The
department OF justice, according to one
OF its high officials, has reached the
conclusion arrived at by the Interstate
Commerce commission that the control
which the Union Pacific has obtained
over the Southern Pacific by the pur-
chase OF stock is in violation OF the law
and amounts in substance to the merg-
ing Of two competing railways.
Not only will the government pro-
coed for a dissolution OF the merger and
restoration OF the competition which
prevailed before the Union Pacific
bought Southern Pacific stock, but the
courts will be asked. it is stated by an
official OF the department, to break up
the combine under which the two rail
roads are alleged to operate their steam
ships.
