"FANTANA" WAS FIN.
First-class Performance Given BY
San Francisco OPERA Co.

1t has came and conquered" and
it il Just our STYLE"
Frank. w. Healy's San Francisco
Opera company opened to good-siz-
ed audience at the Temple theater
last night, and not a murmur of re-
greet was heard from single person
who had the pleasure Of witnessing
the production of "Fantana."
1t was indeed a merry jingle from
start to finish. The performance
went with a dash, and the players
worked in a manner that 1t seemed
to be round of pleasure to them.
Mr.. Webb certainly kept his audi
ence convulsed with laughter. His
comedy work is delightful. and his
illustrated song Don't Go in the
Lions Cage Tonight" is beyond any
doubt the funniest thing ever heard
in this city. Miss Kellogg made a
dashing and captivating "Fantana. "
She sang and acted her part with a
spirit that delighted her audience.
Miss Leicester as the French girl was
capital, and was picture to behold.
Miss Sharp as Jessie was excellent.
Her song, "My Word" was one Of
the hits Of the evening. Mr.. Weiner
as the Lieutenant made much out Of
the small part, and responded hear
lilly to his solo. Laughing Little AL
mond Eyes" Mr.. Bertrand as the
Count. and Mr.. Shook as the Com
modore were happily cast.
The rest of the company were far
above the average organizations
which have visited our city. In fact
1t is the best comic opera company
that Lewiston has ever had the
pleasure to witness, and let us hope
Mr. Healy will not overlook our city
when his regular trips through this
are made.
The scenery and costumes were
very picturesque.
The company plays three more
nights and Friday matinee. Already
the demand for seats has been heavy.
It is we'll worth while to witness the
performances Of this excellent COM
pany.

TO BEGIN DRY FARMING.

Prof, H. w. Campbell, originator of
Campbell's dry farming system says in
his magazine, the Scientific Farmer,
of the time to begin dry farming:
Someone asks when is the proper
time to begin preparation for use of
the Campbell method of soil culture?
Begin when you are ready. Begin
as soon as possible. Begin just as
soon as you understand what you are
going to do and why. Begin when
the soil needs attention, and that is
about all the time.
No special season of the year is
just the one for commencing opera
tions, for it all depends upon the con-
dition of the soil and the general plan
for farm work. The first step would
obviously be different on corn ground
and on wheat stubble. The character
of the season has something to do
with it.
But as a general proposition it is
safe to say that the time to begin is
right away. If your small grain is
ripe for the sickle then prepare to
follow the binder with the disk and
thus to gain a big advantage over
nature. If your corn crop is getting
high, prepare to follow between the
rows with some sort of soil stirring
process and to put stop to the waste
of late summer. If you have a clover
field to be turned under be ready to
properly pulverize the soil and pack
il down.
Above all things do not make the
mistake of supposing th0t tho time
to begin with soil culture is when the
crops are all harvested and you have
leisurely taken time to consider what
next. Begin right now. Nature does
no waiting.
