Primrose has good and sufficient
reasons to be thus encouraged, for
the recent record of success at

visit here at the Spokane next

At the Pantages

A bill that promises to be one of
the best in the history of the Pan
tages opens with Sunday matinee,
December S. Mr.. Pantages has
spared no time or expense in max
ing this one of the best shows to
open the winter season with. Head
ing the list if that of the LeVan
Trio, billed as novel. sensational
comedy gymnasts.. This trio is
among the foremost in this line of
work now in vaudeville. The local
vaudeville patrons have been for
tunate in seeing some very good ac-
robatic acts lately. The next feat
ure attraction is the charming Can
adam actress, Miss May Tully, and
two others in the most talked of
act in the show business, stop,
Look and Listen" This act, which
was written by Matthew White, jr,
editor of the Argosy magazine and
dramatic editor of Munseny's, has
created more sensation in the east
than any other sketch known to the
show managers. The Novelty Dane
ing Four, composed of two men and
two women, are of almost equal i'm
portance. This is said to be one of
the best as far as novel singing
and dancing is concerned. With
special stage settings and elaborate
costumes they will probably uphold
their great eastern record. A very
pleasing number will be that of
Miss Nancy Withrow in piano reci-
tations. Miss Withrow's work is
full of snap and ginger and her
stage appearance very charming.
Del-a-phone, the original comedy
vocalist, limitations are among the
cleverest that have been seen here.
He opens with a song of introduce
ton and going into. his different
character impersonations and imi-
tations, wins continued applause.
James Valdare and Gertrude Varno
are billed as the sensational COM
edy cyclists, and new reel of NOV
ing pictures will close the bill.

tie darkies put all of the negro
life into their voices and toes, and
the act Is one which Is sure to take
a prominent place on the bill.
Doing Well, Thank You," the
act of James b. Donovan and Rena
Arnold Is just a bit of nonsense
that is meant merely to amuse-
and which serves its purpose very
well. There is a lot of the I'M
common about the act, and it is
fun of surprises. Donovan, self
styled King of Ireland" enters
SINNERS hotel, and there encoun-
ters the proprietor's daughter, i'm
personated by Miss Arnold.
The laugh that starts when Fox
and Foxes Circus takes the cen
ter of the stage is sort of con-
tinuous performance affair, lasting
until the close of the act.

NEXT WEEKS OFFERINGS AT SPOKANE'S THEA
Torrance at the Washington

Torrance at the Washington to-
morrow afternoon. Then, too,
there is ample evidence that clever
acting and skilful acrobatics will
form no small feature of the enter
tainment. 1t is just the kind of a
show that will please every one.
Among the foremost of the acts is
a musical number entitled LA
fiesta Di Agosta," which in reality
is "A Festival Day in Calabria, -
and will be presented by the ia
nous ROmany Opera Company,
consisting of seven grand opera
soloists. all of whom have excel
lent voices.
AS an added feature to the pro-
CRANE, an act that comes direct
from the London Hippodrome, to
play its first American tour in
vaudeville, will be the Four Baltus,
whose feats surpass anything that
has ever played the Washington in
the gymnastic line. They perform
feats that seem impossible, which
are not sensational, but different
from all other athletic perform
ances.
A one-act farce comedy that is
one of the funniest acts before the
public, will be presented by j. G.
Treymane and company. The act
is right up to date, and the present
day style and fashion, and is en-
titled "The Girl of the Times" Mr..
Treymane plays the part of a
bachelor, or man about the town.
Miss Minnie Williams, his assist
ant, will be seen as Jane Scribbler,
a reporter for the Times"
The musical wizard, Frank
"Marckley, better known as king
of the banjo, and who is recog-
nized as the leader of all Ameri-
can banjo players, will be one Of
the interesting numbers of the
programe.
Gardner and Colder, two very
clever black face comedians, will
entertain in their original way
with their excellent comedy and
catchy singing. Their act is said
to be very delightful in the musical
and comedy line.
Marie Fitzgibbons, who has star
tied the musical comedy world
with her clever work, has been in
duced to return to vaudeville, and
makes her first appearance in
vaudeville in two years at the
Washington commencing tomorrow
afternoon.

THE MIRACLE BLOCK

The Miracle Double Staggered Air Space Cement Block, is the only BLOCK that compares favorably with the best building materials. Its double air space principle is directly accountable for most of It's many merits. As a hollow iron tube is stronger than a solid one of equal thickness, so hollow wall is likewise stronger than solid one. The wall with two air spaces in. stead of one is accordingly much strong. or than the wall with only one, as it furnishes three perpendicular walls in stead of two. It's superiority over any other kind of block is incontestable It is the only Block that has sufficient merits to be protected by U. s. patents The blocks that l make are guaranteed of superior material to any other made in this territory. They consist of 1 parts sand and part Portland cement They are made from 9 to 16 inches in width, 24 inches in length and inches thick.

TWOGANGSW WORKING ON EXTENSION
 ID MIAMI
TWO MILES OF ROADBED BUILT ALREADY AT END OF OLD
 MITCHELL GRADE.
MORE MEN SOON TO BE ADDED
LARGER GANG WILL BE BROUGHT IN AS SOON AS WORK IS FIN.
 ISHED AT SOUTHLAND.

With two big gangs of men at work, the construction of the roadbed for the Miami extension of the Gila Valley railroad is going rapidly forward. Something like two miles of road bed have already been built. The work is apparently going on without hitch and the army of men, mules and serapers is making good hoalway oD the march to Miami.
 The first gang started in at the end of the old track below the Buffalo shelter and has done nearly all of the dirt work as far down as the 0. D. Keystone.
 The second camp started in about opposite 'Armie 's' saloon and has worked about three-quarters of a ml!c north.
 While part of the work has been comparatively easy, allowing the scrapers to make rapid progress, there is stretch of right of way just above the Force gulch which will require a great amount of heavy work. For distance of several hundred yards, the roadbed must be blasted out of the rocks along the side of the gulch. A small rock crew is now ut work at the south end of the wall, but their progress is necessarily slow.
 Beyond the gulch another obstruction in the form of small hill is encounter. ed. The work now in progress !n.li. cates that cut will be made at that place.
 Beyond the O. D. Keystone, the work will apparently be fairly light, as there is little grade encountered along tie fine as now staked out.
 It is expected that larger gang of men will soon be put at work on the heavy cut above Force gulch. As soon as some of the rock men now at work at Courtland can be relieved, they will be brought here, with the necessary tools
 The old track, which was built somc years ago, beyond the Old Dominion shelter is being repaired. In several | places trestles have been repaired by the addition of new ties and piles ard this road will be in shape for use as soon as the track laying gang is here
 The company means business anu from the progress now being made, the road should be completed by the rlid dle of the summer.

AMSTER WILL BUILD ELEGANT NEW
 BLOCK
NEW HOME OF SILVER BELT IN EASEMENT AT CORNER OF
 OAK AND BROAD.
TREATER MIGHT BE INCLUDED
MANY OFFERS BEING RECEIVED FROM GLOBE BUSINESS MEN
 FOR RENTAL SPACE.

Within short time, a new and hand some building will be erected at the corner of Broad and Oak streets, ac- cording to statements made to the Sil- yer Belt yesterday by N. l.. Amster, who has purchased the property from J. II. Hamill
 In the basement of this building will be the new home of the Silver Belt. While details of the construction of the new building have not been com pleted as yet, an agreement was reach ed yesterday between Mir. Amster and the publishers of this paper, whereby the entire basement, to be exeavate1 for the full length of the lot, will Lc secured for the offices and plant of the Silver Belt.
 The nature of the building to be erected depends largely upon the of fers made by prospective lessees. There is some talk of new theater forming part of the building. The location is an excellent one and this plan may be carried out. MT. Amstei was unable to state yesterday whether or not new play house would be built If theater is built it will be occu pied by the present management of the Majestic theater.
 Amster was besieged by a small army of applicants yesterday for space il the building. He will apparently have no difficulty in leasing for long term all of the available space.
 In rough way, it is planned to con struct a buildng ngsbetween two and ioui stories in height. It will cover the en tire lot and will be of ornamental con strnction, building which will be 2 credit to the city.
 "You can say for me that building will be erected on the lot at Broad ana Oak street within q short time,'' said MT. Amster to the Silver Belt. "I dt not know just what sort of a building will be constructed, but it will be { substantial one.
 ''I consider this to be one of the bes building locations in the city and ai 1 tue money invested IS WOTlu db leSs $3,000 year to me, cannot afford tC leave the lot in it's present condition | "I may be able to make definite ar rangements regarding the arrangement of the building before I leave, Saturday evening.

The contract for that will bt let in short time.
 "Why am I putting my money bacl in Globe property7 Because I consi6 CT this to be one of the most promis ing camps in the territory, or the south west for that matter. Where I am in vesting thousands, mining men are in vesting millions. Certainly if they arc willing to take chance here ought to have no fears about investing"

than design. Two years ago they yielded to insistence of the directors of the Jamestown EX- position for a whooping illustra- ton of real western life by send ing show to the national fair which created an immediate furore. Nothing quite like this Oklahoma show had ever been seen before. Before the fair was half over, New York City demanded duplicate show and another foray was made upon the ranch to gratify the eastern metroplis. It remained at Brighton Beach, New York City, for six weeks and crowds came in unceasing numbers.
 Hundreds of cities clamored for a sight of the 101 Ranch arenic wonders, but the Millers packed up in fall and journeyed back to the Oklahoma prairie with no thought of further ex- periences as showmen. But fate and the astute professional amusement purveyor willed otherwise. By spring Edward Arlington, a well known circus man, had formed an alliance with them and the 101 Ranch Wild West Show was a per manent factor in the amusement world.
 The show which is coming to this city is an amplified version of the one which broke all re- cords in patronage and popularity last year. Joseph C. Miller, senior of the three brothers is in personal active charge. He promises that patrons will wit
