BiiIposters Meet.

ATLANTA, Ga, July 13.-Men re-
sponsible for decorating the scenery OF
the country with gaudy advertisements
of biscuits, pills, chorus girls and other
commodities, gathered in the Georgia
capital today to begin the nineteenth
annual session of the Associated Bill

1t is said the association will continue
it's crusade against the posting of OBJ
scene or immoral pictures, and mem
bers who give publicity to representa-
tions of scantily-clad burlesque beau

ton. The paper of melOdramaS with
suggestive names will also be refused

stores. This left little for the In
dams of the, realm. This is the way
received the news, and from such a
story one would surmise that the stores
at Macpherson must be empty shelved
by this time and the Indians anything
but overfed.
"At Rampant house we had one of
the coolest winters ever known in that
region. We had no thermometer, but
it was so cold that native dogs would
huddle, together to keep warm. In or
binary winters they never do that. No
doubt it was as cold there as anywhere
in the north. I kept moving most of
the winter and suffered no great in

feel proprietorship, such as they
would at home, and can AID to the
pleasure of others who go for the first
time. 1t is the simplest matter and
perfectly good form for one woman
to speak to another on big piazza,
if thew have been meeting face to
face for several days. In that case
they already know each other by sight
and it remains only to give their
names, an act the woman speaking
first should do Immediately, and in
which the stranger should follow suit.
1t is always good form fc'f one wom-
an to speak to another in the house of
a. friend, even though they may never
have seen each other before and have
not been introduced. In garden par
ties or big receptions it is kind for
one who has many acquaintance pres
ent to notice for a moment, the one
who is obviously a stranger. There is
no need of presenting the outsider, for
she, too has the same privilege of
speaking, but the fact that sheis an
unknown many times renders her shy
in drawing attention to herself.

"PolIv of the Circus"

1t is not often that we are tempted
to find fault with the producer of plays
for being too generous, but that is the
kind of a play producer Frederic
Thompson happens to be. He wants to
give too much for the money. AS a
result of his extravaganza he has made
Polly of the Circus a case of Polly"
and the circus.
Polly of the Circus is pretty, ap-
pealing story of hearts of the tried and
found true type until the circus hap
pens into it, Then in it's last fifteen
minutes it tapers off into a common
place little show piece in which Polly
is sacrificed to the scenery and the
drama to the twinkling lights.
Polly, it may be stated in explana
ton, as the heroine of Margaret Mayo's
the circus in which she was riding Gas
her mother and grandmother had rid
den before herr played on a lot ad-
joining the parsonage of a Methodist
church in a small middle western town.
Her friends carried her into the par
sOnage, the young minister had her
taken upstairs to the spare room, and
the circus, of course, had to go on and
leave her thede.
Polly stayed at the parsonage for II
months, and in that time, Wormed her
self into the hearts of all who knew
her, which is exactly according to rule.
Then the circus, playing over the same
territory, came back to the town and
again threatened the lot next the par
sonage. In the meantime much had
happened. Polly had grown to love the
young minister and the young minis
ter had grown to love Polly. But just
as they were about to confess their
affection the village gossips made Polly
think she was in the way, which may
also be said to be exactly according to
rule, and she reJOlned the circus. Inc
minister followed, however. and met
her back of the dressing tent. There
it was nearly all patched up. sanely
and reasonably, when some one was
struck suddenly with the circus notion.
To promote the circus, jolly is forced
to again back away from her true love
and dash for the arena. Then we have
the spectacle itself for five minutes,
when in dashes Polly, to do no more
than faint prettily in the center of the
ring Following a back drop tableau
with the circus disappearing and Poly
being folded to her true hearts chOker.
This play comes to the Keylor Grand
theater shortly.

she buys it then and there, she too will
be preparing a more restful Christmas
for herself.
And for either working girl or stay
at home, now-if she hasn't done il
before-is the time to start Christ
mas book in which to note down any
desires she chances to hear expressed,
in order, as far as possible, to be the
fairy godmother who shall grant them
at Christmas time.
A gift gains fifty per cent in value
from timeliness and appropriateness.
Some little luxury that we long have
craved and never quite cared to paul
per ourselves by buying, often means
more than a more expensive article
for which one has never had any spe-
cial desire.
I remember one Christmas when a
pair of fur-lined slippers that I had
wanted for several years held the place
of honor among many more expensive
but less longed-for gifts.

INDIANS BLOCK AN
IRRIGATION SCHEME
Reclamation of 10000 Acres Of Land
DeIayed-Wapato Project Suffers.

NORTH YAKIMA, July 13.-The re-
clamation of 10000 acres of land on
the Yakima Indian reservation under
the Wapato project is to be delayed in
definitely because the Indians refuse
to sell their land as provided by the
Jones act. The reclamation service
has completed all the preliminary work
and is now ready to begin actual con-
struction on the canals and laterals,
but nothing can be done because the
Indians refuse to comply with the law.
The Jones act provides that the In
dams shall sell sixty acres of each
eighty-acre allotment, the proceeds of
this sale to apply on the water right
for the remaining twenty acres. Sup
cruising Engineer C. H. Swigart will
not recommend the continuance of
the project until the majority of the
Indians under it have complied with
the provisions of the law. AS practi-
cally none of them have done SO. the
work must now come to a stand still.
The handling of the Indians end OF
the matter comes under the Indian de-
partment, and is a matter with which
the reclamation service has nothing to
do Every effort has been made to get
the Indians to see that it is to their
advantage to sell their land under the
act. Disinterested whites, who have
influence with the Indians, have work
ed with them, and Mr.. Robin, repre-
senting thes Indian department, has
heen on the reservation a consider
able time, but all to no avail.

Tacoma's Population Increases.

TACOMA, July 13.-The population
of Tacoma is increasing at the rate of
625 people month, according to the
estimate of G. P. Coates, manager of
the Polk Directory company who has
just issued preliminary estimates. The
population of the city, he says, is now
$4,000, giving a gain of 1900 over the
population of last year. AT this rate
Tacoma will be a city of 100000 people
in ten years, a growth Coates declared
far in excess of the normal growing
western and middle western cities.
Cities of the Atlantic coast have
still less percentage of gain.

We are half way back to Christ

What do you think of that? Doesn't
seem very long, does it, since You fold
ed up the red ribbon that came on your
Christmas gifts. cleaned the tinsel from
the Christmas tree off your carpets,
and firmly made up your mind that
you'd never get so tired over another
Christmas.
I'll begin early next time you said,
land not get in such a rush at the

OF course you've promised yourself
that for the last five ten or fifteen
years, and of course every year you've
thoroughly broken your promise.
You've made the last few days be-
fore Christmas a perfect nightmare and
even Christmas Eve, that surely ought
to be spent in medtating a bit on some
deeper meaning in the day than merely
giving people presents, was doubtless
dedicated to belated doing up" and

A girl who has been properly

older ones like, they will simply give
her bow in the future, and will not
include her in their amusements.
This fashion of extending such hos
pitality, however slight, prevails more
in the south than in the north, and is
one reason that persons always refer

jority of ridors have reached the ex-
IRENE limit of possible effort, they
present individually and collectively
more startling and sensational eques-
trian feats than the American arena
has ever before seen. 1t is no uncom-
mon sight to see these five riders,
moving precisely as a single person,
leap and bound from the ground to
the bare back of a single, fast-running
horse. Besides this great act are many
progeny of illustrious riding families
fitted by personal prowess to wear
the mantle of greatness entrusted to
their care, each of whom would be
with the average circus. The eques-
TRAN exhibitions are so diversified
that at times the three rings, elevated
stages and hippodrome are required in
their presentation. The most fastid-
ious and critical circus -goer should
find something to please and satisfy
them in the varied program of men

age and the remarkable performances

BISHOPS SERMON

bill Arouses Baker City.

BAKER CITY, Ore, July 13-Sen-
sationalism in a sermon delivered by
Bishop Quayle in Spokane has been
the indirect cause of the arrest of
Ray Ambercrombie, a youth of this
city, and the possible boycotting by
the church people of a grocery store
owned by Ambercrombie's uncle, where
the youth worked.
Ambercrombie extracted some utter
ances from Bishop Quayle's sermon
wherein the bishop told ministers they
ought to know how to spark He had
them printed on a handful with sar-
castle comments of his own and circu-
lated the bills on the streets of Ba-
ker City. The handbills so incensed
the religious people of Baker City that
under the leadership of Rev. Mr.. ,Booz-
er, of the First Presbyterian church,
they appealed to the city authorities
and had Ambercrombie arrested on a
charge of circulating handbills with
out a license. The circular follows:
