MEAD OR MCBRIDE?

| Has Governor Mead gained in politi-
cal strength in the eastern part of the
state since the election of 1904?
| This is what former Governor Henry
Mcbride would like to know before he
makes a formal announcement of his
intentions to enter into the guberna-
torial race.
| 1t is said that a number of emissa
ries of Mcbride have been in Spokane
during the past week or two looking
over the situation, and sounding some
of the republican leaders, with a view
of discovering if McBride's candidacy
would be received with favor, and it
reported that Mcbride himself is due
to arrive within a short time for the
purpose of discussing the situation
with some of the east side leaders.
1t has been known that for some
time past Mcbride has been what is
commonly known as receptive" can
didate, that is, he would accept if his
friends insisted upon his doing so, but
| it is reported he has now joined the
active list, and that all depends upon
| the manner in Which his candidacy is
viewed by the east side republicans
| 1t is said by his friends that Mcbride
does not believe that any man from
| the east side of the state can win in
the primaries, and thinks the next
governor will be the man from the
west who can carry his own part of
the state and get the greatest num-
Der of votes from east of the Cascades
The result of the last gubernatorial
| election has led to the belief that
Mead can not control the full vote of
the republicans of the eastern part of
the state, and if Mcbride believes upon
investigation that he can do so, he will
make a formal announcement of his
candidacy
A new development in the guberna-
torial situation is the report that if
Mcbride decides to become a candidate.
Attorney John D. Atkinson will prob
ably abandon his aspirations to become
governor and will be satisfied with the
nomination for lieutenant governor.

Devils Auction" Tonight.

Manager Charles H. Yale has an
nounced for the coming season, the
twenty sixth edition of that phenOme-
nal piece of theatrical property-"The
Devils Auction" surnamed "Everlast-
ing'' and properly too, for it seems
destined to run on forever, and from all
appearances, a few days after that.
There is, however, no discounting
the wonderful record of this favorite
show piece.
For twenty-five seasons it has, max
ing Philadelphia it's starting point,
yearly visited almost every important
city, state and territory. including
nearly all the Canadian provinces.
Notwithstanding the yearly oppos1-
ton of the many new musical comedies
and spectacles, imported. and otherwise,
the Devils Auction has gone on in
the even tenor of it's way, having es-
tabIshed apparently a universal Glen
tele who can be depended upon to
wait for the big show and reward
it yearly with remunerative receipts.

this case is careful management lib

"Red Feather"

Red Feather" is the title of an opera
that is at once unique and original. It's
story is told with sympathy. simplicity
and ultra modernity. The people and
incidents that move in the kaleidosco-
pic circle of the authors romance are
all pleasing. The melodious colony OF
the opera moves most of the time un-
der the high lights of chromatic
scenes and costumes. The compound is
tinctured subtly with the alchemy of
music conceived in moods both joyous
and piaintive. There are periodical mo-
ments of humor, of drollery, of epigram,
and of amusing ideas following each
other in rapid succession that appeals
to mans every faculty.
A really excellent cast and ensem-
BILE has been assembled by Manager
