Royal Hall, Tuesday, August 18th.

The coming musical event of the sea-
son will be the appearance at Royal hall
on Tuesday, August 1lth of the Justly
celebrated National Opera company in
that sterling opera, The Grand
Duchess" Musical attractions are al
WAYS welcomed here by large and repre-
sentative audiences so this announce
ment will be hailed with delight by all.
The opera is one that has stood the test
of time with unfinished popularity. It
is the work of Jacques Ofenbach, a
French composer of international fame,
whose many works stand as living
monument to his art. "The Grand
Duchess was first produced il America
in the early seventies and has ever since
served As a leading offering in the var
ious companies producing comic opera.
The score is written in mastery style,
always harmonious, yet light and catchy.
The book and lyrics show the work of
a genius. The comedy is seldom equal
ed and never excelled. The company
presenting this delightful work is one of
the strongest ever organized consisting
of we'll known artists and most attrac-
tive chorus. The costumes reflect much
credit on the designer. being bright of
color yet always blending with, excellent
taste. A complete scenic and light
equipment is furnished, thus giving a
bright and tuneful opera the correct
background. Managers Raymond &
Pomeroy personally guarantee this at
traction.

your watch's screw heads and frames.

been careless. He is a man to he

Mystery of two Missing Students.

It is now Ill days since George X.
Hamilton and John o. Watson, suppos-
eddy went down in the cold waters of
Lake Mendoza, nearly four months since
the two young men, students in the uni
versity ventured out in a canoe on an
April afternoon and were never again
seen. No trace of them has ever been
found and the only suggestion of their
fate is the fact that their departure on
the lake was known and the canoe and
paddle was found. Experience IN such
cases is that bodies of drowned persons
will rise within 30 days. But that time
having long passed in the case of the
two young men there is no reason to
hope that they will ever be found, ex-
cept, assuming that they are drowned,
that the bodies when they sank became
entangled in some way and by the action
of the waters they should become olsen
gagged and even in that event it is not
likely that both would be subject to the
same unusual circumstances and condi-
tions. Should the bodies rise they GER
tainly would be found for they would
remain on the surface of the water in

LAZY INDIAN AND
BRAVE SCHOOL MA'AM

Ed Farra, J. ID. Parker and Benz.
Prato have returned from a trip to
the famous huckleberry patch above
Union creek after having a most en-
joyable outing, says the Central Point
Herald.
4 big. fat Indian brave from the
klamath agency packed his pony
with the grub and camping outfit
which included a big feather bed
Part way up the trail the pony got
frisky, and when he quit bucking the
feathers lined the trail for half a
mile and one aborigine was obliged to
sleep on the cold, hard ground, just
as his forefathers used to do.
\ party from Silver Lake, which
included two pretty school ma'ams,
had trouble with their pack horses
early in the game and their camp
equippage was strewn all over the
mountain. While the men of the
party were gathering up the wreck
age the ladies walked on.
One of the schoolma'am's Cinder-
ella slippers blistered her little foot
sic tootsie, but she was game, and
taking off her shoes and stockings
she tackled the rocky trail barefoot
and went to the top in schedule time
She was soon the most popular girl
in the camp. These are some of the
extreme types of humanity. A big

Jack Swart, formerly well known
in La Grande railroad circles, was
nominated as county clerk at the re-
publican primaries held in Columbia

He is now o. R. & y. agent at COL

his friends and he received the NOM

strange part of the matter is that Mr.

present position with the railroad
company and take the office of coun-
ty clerk, for the reason that the pay
in the latter place is not as much as
what he is already receiving.
Mr.. Swart was formerly operator
