For this Wesk three comedy acts are
on the program, the neadliner being the
Ella Garrison Co., who appear in a
high class travesty act These people
have made the rounds several times
of the big Orpheum vaudeville circuit,
of having them billed for their Walla
Walla patrons. The costumes worn by
these people are simply gorgeous, and
stage settings of course will be in keep
ing with the other surroundings. OF
course, the wit furnished by the Gar
rison company is high class, and the
act will be a great feature.
Lew Click is a dialect singing come
dian who gives out a great deal Of
comedy, an" fun that all can laugh at.
In fact, he is said to be a man that can
drive the blues away on short notice.
He just simply dances, and sings and
talks, and you are thus put in a good
humor.
The two Joers come from the west,
and have very funny sketch entitled
''The German Professor and the News
Girl" The fun is all original, clean and
quick. They introduce singing, jokes
galore and a musical scene.
Pictures are being replaced by two
illustrated songs rendered by a local
young lady, and the Majestic will make
this part of the bill nerealser a spe-
cial attraction. The songs for next
week are I'm Glad I'm Married" and
Il, Don't Want Morning to Come
These will be illustrated by slides made
specially for the Pantages theater,
Spokane, and the Majestic fof this city,
while the local house has it's own spe-
eial dissolving effects, which are saio
to be really beautiful.
During the week the orchestra will
render Some Rag Time" a taking
march written by Fred Stone and Sc
lections from 1.-THE Ham Tree" The
coming week will be a hummer at the
Majestic.
Amateur night will be given on Fri
day evening at both performances. and
prizes will be given the act receiving
the most applause.

origin of such fires is always an in
teresting problem, and from informa-
ton which has been obtained are due
to many and varied causes. Hunters
and campers cause large portion OF
such fires: railroads in the country
traversed by them, the largest proper
ton, and lightning, clearing OF lano' ana
incendaries the remainder. 1t is estl-
mated that the aggregate loss from
forest fires in all parts of the country
during the conf1agrations of last year
amounted. to s50000,0 900. When all OF
the losses are taken into consideration
the gravity of the situation assumes
alarming proportions, and places grave
responsibility upon those who have
ANYTHING to do with the solving OF,
locating and fighting forest fires. - e
During the last fiscal year endlns
June 30 1908. over $500 miles of tele-
phone line was constructed on all the
National forests in the west, and since
that time the construction of 1857 miles
of additional line has been authorized.
The majority of these have been COM
Melted and are in operation, the bal
ance will be completed before June 80,
1909.
These telephone lines are only con-
strl1cted in those parts of the country
where the field is not covered by COM
mercial companies, and where the busl-
ness which would be obtained will no.
Justify the construction of a CONNER
cial line for years to come.
Much work has been done in the
states of Oregon and Washington, but
there is vast amount to be done
which will be taken up as rapidly as
the funds for such work will permit.
The following is list of the tele-
phone lines in these two states which

service:
