MAYOR lrCLEbL4ys VETO.

reasons he gives for it are admirable With

sinccnfessed anger may be, they arc forced to

significance Of the veto It vas we'll under

the winegrape growing districts in Ger
many and France, the climate must be
better adapted for raising quality

United States weather reports of the
states of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho during the last three years and
found that various counties or districts
Of these states under consideration of

can be grown quality wines that will
successfully rival with the best quality
wines from Rhine, Moselle, PfalZ, ETC.,
in Germany, and with the Bordeaux,
Gironde, Medoc' and eventually cham

WOULD START NEW
VAUDEVILLE HOUSE
.. .. Taylor Wants to Lease Property
On East Main Street and Omen
Show Under Canvas
This Summer.

should the fire committee favor a
commission read last night at the
meeting CT the city council, asking
permission to lease or rent for amuse-
ment purposes the old Nassau prop
erty adjacen mt to the Model barn on
East Main street this city may have
new vaudeville house in the near
future. The communication was signed
oy Alvin Barmeister and Gilbert Hunt
owners OF TIE land, who desire to lease
1t to s.. s. Taylor, of Lewiston, who
| In turn desires to erect temporary
tehts on it for vaudeville purposes.
Mr.. Taylor arrived in the city last
week and was here for several days
enCeavoring to make satisfactory ar
| rangements, but at the present can do
nothing owing to the time required for
the fire committee to report upon this
matter.
1t is known that George & Son., the
propiretors of the Majestic theater on
Main street, tried to get this same
property for their own use, but not
being able to give the required amount
did not take it, Then it was that Mr..
Taylor stepped in and having secured
an option is now awaiting the report
of the committee.
While in the city he would not talk
of his SHOW or give any definite state
ments, but he assured a reporter that
i: would Re first class in every partic-
ular and would prove source of great
amusement to the people,
1.-THE circuit 1 am on is a good one,"
said Mr Taylor. land is we'll known
here. Some of the actors used to be-
in the old Star theater in this CITY and
have always commanded packed
houses"
In the event the fire committee
grants the permission to lease the
property for such purposes, the own
ers Of the tract pledge themselves to
keep the premisis free from unsanitary
conditions. Mr.. Taylor, it is under
stood, has returned temporarily to
Lewiston, but will return to this city
within the next few days. He has five
sons, all of them stars. who would
probably appear here in case he is
granted permission to erect the tent
on East Main street. The lot in ques-
ton has frontage of T05 feet on East
Main.

SPORTS
Continued From Pace Two

terday afternoon, when he turned over
First Baseman Rose, Pitcher Hirrich
Cutfielder Cahill and Third Baseman
Oriet and Catcher Sheenan to different
clubs, Rose will probably return to the
Central league, where he made a great
record last year at first and with the
bat Since coming to Seattle his ap-
petite has been so good that he has
not been able to train down to the
slabside brigade. His failure to stoop
over with ease and get the low throws
has worked to his disadvantage in COM
petition with. Schofield, who is one of
the prettiest fielders in minor league
ball. Rose can go either to the Cen
trail association or to the Intermoun-
tain league.
Oriet has developed into a clever
fielding third haseman, and he is fast
on the bases, but his hitting is not
heavy enough to warrant carrying him
when Gardner and Magee are on the
bench Both Magee and Gardner can
be used at second, short and third,
while Oriet is a success only at third.
In the Intermountain league, Oriet will
come close to being the class as a
fielding third sacker. When he does
hit the ball it goes.
Croker got a chance in yesterdays
game and biffed out double. If he
were worked steadily he would prob
ably develop into a good average bat
ter.
