GRANT PIONEER DEAD.
George II. Beck of Hamilton Passed
Away After Eventful Career.

AWAY Atcr bNciliu NdrOChs
The Monument Enterprise says OF
the death of George H. Beck, prom
inent pioneer stockman Of that place:
The people of Hamilton were
shocked and surprised by the sad
news going from house to house that
George H. Beck, one of Grant coun-
ty's oldest pioneers, had quietly pass
ed away.
The people gathered from all parts
of the community to pay last respects
to the body and it was a continual
string until the corpse was moved
away.
Uncle George was the oldest resi-
dent in Fox valley and was in the
sheep business at the time of the In
dian troubles in 1878. Mr.. Beck
stayed in the fort at Long Creek and
would occasionally visit the sheep
On one occasion he visited the sheep
and was accompanied by his brother
Joe, Abe Lam and the herder known
as Dutch Charlie"
The Indians by that time were
quite numerous and were committing
depredations in the southern half OF
the county. The herder would not
return to camp with George and the
other two boys and was killed by the
Indians a few miles south of where
Fox now stands.
Deceased was horn at Aupusta
Maine, January 25, 1852, and came
with his brother to oregon in the year
20 and entered into the stock busi-
ness and they endured many hard
ships that is no doubt one cause of
both deaths.

Through deal just completed by
Streeter-Bryan company. the Orphe-
um theater at Walla Walla has been
secured and II will be added to the
circuit that is to be maintained by the
stock company. Aside from the
theaters here and Walla Walla, the
company will also have playhouses
at North Yakima and Seattle.
BY the arrangement for the thea
ters at the above named places Mr..
Streeter will be able to transfer his
different troupes from place to place
and thereby offer a greater variety
of attractions than is possible when
he had but one house and one COM
pany. In the future troupe VIII be
kept in one town until II has finish
ed the bills it is playing when It will
then be transferred to another point
relieving the cast at that place. BY
this system not only will the public
benefit. but the troupes themselves
will be saved much rehearsal work.
For the past three nights the
Streeter-B Bryan company has been
appearing here in light comedy
From Rags to Riches" and 1t has
made a hit. AS comedians those In
the Streeter-Bryan company are hard
to excel and there is probably no
other stock company IN the west that
can handle the variety of plays that
are being offered at the Oregon.
Sunday night the oregon was pack
ed for the first appearance OF From
Rags to Riches and 1t has also
drawn good crowds each night since
that time.
According to Mr.. Streeter the name
Of his theater at Walla Walla Will be
changed from the orpheum to the
oregon, while the showhouses at
yNorth Yakima will also bear the Ore
gon brand.
