AUDITORIUM.

The Shirley company has gone
to 1.-The Devil"-for next week.
"The Devil" as a play, is the reign
ing sensation in theatrical circles.
1t has been assailed as highly i'm
proper production, and on the other
hand has been praised for its dia-
logue and it's marvellous plot. That
1t Is immoral Is commended by
many, while others who see the
dramatic art in 1t see nothing OBJ
jectionable. The company will give
it thorough production. The play
tells Of a young artist and bank
er's wife, old sweethearts, who are
brought together through the per-
sonal interference of the devil, who
appears in the form of DIR. Miller.
These two young people, fighting
against the temptations he places
before them, he handles as he
would clay. Their own consciences
are powerless to restrain them.
The devil is not red coated, with
hoofs and horns, but q smooth, oily,
blase individual, who really argues
them into doing that which they
know means their own death. The
play has one great theme, and 1t is

that the good or bad is in the mind.
This is brought out when the devil,
asked where he comes from, re-
plies, Il come from nowhere; l go
nowhere" then touching Olga Hof-
man on the brow, continues, 81 am
here" The artist, Karl Molnar,
fights against what he sees is COM
ing. The devil, to foil him, sees to
it that Karl's sweetheart notices a
change and lines her on his side
against the man. The husband of
Olga is made jealous and the green
eyed monster also takes possession
of Karl himself. The plot is de-
moniac in it's construction. The
two characters, struggling, fight
ing, are dragged to the pit and at
the last moment joyfully jump into
1t. Miss Shirley will play the role
Of Olga Holman, the bankers wife,
and Frank >McQuarrie will play the
role of Kari Molnar. The title role
will be handled by Mr.. Gum, who,
as the polished arch fiend, has one
of the strongest roles ever his lot.

George AIDES sparkling comedy,
"Just Out of College" here tonight
and tomorrow night, has plot of the
old fashioned kind. In Just Out
of College" there is the AIDE gallery
of types, familiar and unfamiliar,
and dialogue rich in illusions to
amusing American conditions. The
story tells of rich pickle manufac-
turer absorbed in business. His
"woman's rights" wife picked up
an impecunious professor of "re-
pose" as a suitable husband for
the daughter, but the girl has
fallen in love with a clean cut,
bright young chap, just out of col
lege. The pickle man can't see the
young man at all, but he changes
his mind after he has had ses-
sion with the professor, and finding
that the college boy is penniless,
stakes him to $4,000 to start in
business. The young fellow starts
a rival factory, succeeds in selling
out to the pickle trust, of which
the father is the head, makes his
fortune and wins the girl. There
are many humorous side issues.

MINING WEALTH
Of STATE

HALTEMAN CONFIDENT THAT
EXHIBIT AT A. Y. p. FAIR
WILL BE GREAT EDUCATOR
IN VALUE OF NATIVE RE-
SOURCES.
w. A. Halteman of Ferry county,
who has charge Of the Washington
mining exhibit at the A. Y. P.
worlds fair next year, is in the
city, comforting with L. P. Horn
berger, one of the fair commission
ers for the state. He will be here
over Sunday.
Mining men of Washington
have just awakened to a realiza-
ton of the Importance of a large
and comprehensive exhibit of the
mining resources of the state"
said Mr.. Halteman. People of our
own state do not even know the
extent of our development along
this line. The state of Washington
possesses some of the largest de-
posits of low grade ores in the
northwest, which have not been
extensively developed into paying
properties as yet, because capital
has sought other fields that looked
more inviting.
Heavy investments of capital
are needed to develop mining, and
the only way we can get men of
means interested is to show them
that we have the goods. l am con-
fident that If mining exhibit such
as we are planning will be made
it will return to the state in two
or three years time in additional
mining investments, all that the
entire exposition will cost.
There are over so distinct min
ing districts in the state, repre-
senting localities in which precious
metals have been found in guam
titles sufficient to warrant develop
ment. Nearly all of these districts
will be represented at the exposi-
ton by an exhibit so complete that
mining man can tell at a glance
what the district contains. In over
rs of these districts mining men
have consented to act as deputies
to aid in assembling exhibits"

the bill and hole is dug; then a long
tongue barbed at the tip is shot out,
and the borer is speared and snatched

Nose is black anc, with the mouth,
surrounded by a mealy colored band.
A yellow strip along the middle of the
under lip crosses over to the upper lip
and extends up the sides of the nos
trils. A light streak runs along back
from head. to tail; black switch, hoofs
and tongue; straight hind legs, wide
thighs and heavy quarters.
Such remarkable persistence in
marked points denotes Enthusiastically
the integrity and purity of the breed,
since, according to the well establish
ed laws of hereditary descent, the pc
culiarities of other breeds with which
this might have been crossed would
almost certainly sooner or later have
cropped out to n degree to challenge
observation in a manner not to be mis-
taken. In descendants from the cattle
imported into this country some years
ago no such signs of crosses with for
eign breeds have ever been exhibited.
This integrity of the breed Is all the
more important because many of the
traits exhibited by these cattle are
among the most valuable.
From actual observation we find
they cross well with other breeds, pro-
ducing a very desirable grade of cat
tie.
Many importations of Swiss cattle
have been made into this country. A
herd was imported recently to the cen
trail states, and the progeny Of a herd

that was imported several years be-
fore and which has been scattered
through all the states has resulted In
the production of some remarkably
good dairy cows. The Brown Swiss
have been given a good try out In
Green county, Wis, where they have
proved to be an excellent and hardy
breed of dairy cattle. Besides the gen
erous flow of milk each cow will pro-
duce healthy and hardy calf and
keep up the performance year in and
year out. We find 1t no uncommon
thing for cows to produce sixty pounds
of milk per day and to be MIXED up
to calving time. At the age of eight
cen to twenty years the Swiss COW Is
still profitable without including her
calf.

Easy to Show They Have an Actual

In his war against insects mans
most valuable ally is the bird. The
greater number of birds live on in
sects. Even those which live on seeds
when fully grown are fed on insects
while in the nest. AS young birds
grow fast it takes many a worm to
satisfy their hearty appetites.
A feature Of the warfare of bird on
bug is the system with which it Is
carried on. Nothing is haphazard. but
each species of bird has its own field
of work and in many instances certain
insects to which it is partial In win.

expect the birds to take a rest, but
