Columbus miilsrs today put the price up 40 cents per barrel for winter wheat -four and the market Is now quoted here at S7. This advance makes 6 gain of s1 per barrel here in the past ten days Jobbers say that the price will go to so before the close of this year.

 What will appear to hundreds of thousands in the poor quarters like famine rates for this staple of all larders, bids fair to be forced as a re- suit of the recent rise in the price of wheat.

After a most exciting chase for
an automobile thief, in which two
large autos bounded over the road
from Seattle to Tacoma during the
early hours of morning today, Guy
Havaugh, a Seattle chauffeur, ar
rived here about 9 o'clock and
applied to the police for aid. He
said that he had followed his own
automobile, which was stolen by
an unknown person in Seattle
about 8 O'Clock a. m, until he
reached Pacific avenue and Puy-
allup avenue, this city, where he
suddenly lost the trail.
Havaugh says that he was call
ed to an address on Seneca street,
Seattle, early this morning and he
drove his large Pierce Arrow car,
valued at 5000, to the place.
While searching in the dark for
the supposed address he heard
some one cranking his machine.
Next moment the auto had disap-
peared down the hill. Havaugh
secured another car and gave
chase, finally arriving here. No
trace of the missing machine has
been found.
1t is large dark green car,
with cushion covers on the seats.
The state number is 2749 and the
car number 4060.

AT THE STAR.

One of the best known pastoral
plays ever put before the American
people, and one which has been
presented more times than any
other English-speaking play, will
be given at the Star theatsr next
week by the McRae players. ashore
Acres" written by the late James
A. Herne, Is character study
carefully staged and executed.
1t deals with everything that is
human in man, and the story, sim
pie in its own clothes, is % inter
estingly told that the average
audience is enthused to rounds OF
excited applause.
Realism is the keynote of the
presentation. Birds in the trees,
sailing yachts in the distance,
horses moving about the pasture,
the ticking of a clock on the
mantle in act 2, the storm, the
lighthouse, and the terrific strug-
gle between the two brothers, each
is so graphically given. that the
story takes on new features and
assumes the proportions of a huge
dramatic problem.
A feature of the McRae presen-
,tation will be the old-fashioned
turkey dinner in the third act
Hot, steaming roast turkey-real
turkey, too-together with all the
accessories of a real dinner, will
be taken from the kitchen oven
before the eyes of the audience
and PLACID on the table.
A large company will be seen
at the Star next week, and a very
good show is promised.
