pearance of the famous Juvenile

October 8.
This organization of clever girls
needs no introduction to amusement
seekers of Athena. 1t might be added
they are little older but a little
better. Their appearance at this time
after an absence of over two years,
should be heralded with much joy as
no organization ever playing the West
ever afforded more wholesome fun and
amusement to young and old than did
these clever children. Babe Mason,
the shining star of the company, has
again heen secured and will more
than delight her auditors with her
funny songs and comic antics. The
tinkling music and catchy songs
which are heard on the streets for
many days after have invariably been
furnished by this company aud among
the bright sparkling numbers to he
offered this time are "Whistle II You
Want Me Dear" "Hello People, +"
~ Wonder Who's kissing Her Now"
"How Did the Bird Know That, "
"The Boogie O-o-gie Man." every
body Knows It's There" also the
famous Moon Beam Quartette. and
Edith MoClaire, the yodler, will rem
der some new and most pleasing NUN :
bers with appropriate effects and COS
tunes. The scenic investures and
light effects used, will prove a revela-
tion to theatre-goers, and as the Juv-
emile Bostonians have in the past
played to capacity houses, it might be
good suggestion to advise securing
seats at an early date.

10 all points on the Pendleton
branch, which extends toward the
Washington boundary. the reduction
is from 15A cents per 100 pounds to
Portland. The first three stops on
tie Elgin branch show reduction of
from 19A to l734 cents. and to the
other points on the same branch from
1911 to 10 cents per hundred pounds.
To Heppner. Condor and Shaniko the
reduction is from 18 to 16 cents, on
the Pilot Rock branch from 2OM to
l7M cents per 100 pounds. The last
reduction is the heaviest made in to-
days order and amounts to cents, or
nearly IA per Cent of the old rate.
Hearings by which the evidence was
gathered have been held in eastern
Oregon, in Portland and in Salem.
Numerous witnesses were examined
both on behalf of the commission and
the railroad company.
The order effects not only wheat,
hut all other grains, including oats,
rye, farley, fiaxseed. buokwheat,
screenings. corn, malt, flour and mill

NEW GRAIN RATES
Oregon Commission Orders O. r. & N,
to Cut-Rates Will Go Into
Effect October 20.

Grain rates between Portland and
points on the Oregon Railroad & Nav.
igation company's lines have been or
dered reduced by the Oregon railroad
commission. This reduction, which
averages about IL Ia per cent of the
rates now in force, will go into effect
October 20, unless contested by the
railroad company. In view of the
recent order of the Washington com
mission similarly affecting train rates
on the Northern Pacific, it is expected
that the Oregon Railroad g. Naviga-
tion company will submit to the re-
duotion.
Freight for hauling grain from
points in eastern Oregon to tidewater
at Portland over the Oregon Railroad
q Navigation lines last year amounted
to 1884, 900. If the order of the COM
mission made today goes into effect
October 90. it will save the grain
growers of eastern Oregon about $780,
600 this year, as heavy grain ship
ments have not yet commenced.
No reduction is made to points west
of Tumwater or the Cello Falls. The
following table showing the old rates
and new rates, gives good idea of the
