DETROIT OPERA HOUSE.

"A Midsummer Nights Dream was
presented in the Detroit opera house
Sunday afternoon and evening by the
Ben Greet players and the Russian
Symphony orchestra under the direc-
ton Of Modest Altschuler. Good-sized
audiences attended each performance,
although the same company and the
same orchestra were seen Ia this city
earlier in the season.
The organization mas been touring
the country for some time Ia celebra-
don OF the Mendelssohn centennial.
Seeing the production for the second
dine does not serve TO alter the opin-
lon that both the Ben Greet players
and the orchestra possess unusual
merit. Many of the late corners in
the opera house Sunday missed tho
beautiful overture, which Mendels-
sohn composed when youth OF sew
enteen. He had attained twice that
many years before he completed the
other eleven numbers OF the play.
There's would seem TO be no discrep-
ancy. though, In the music. as all
bears the stamp Of the master mind.
The performance lasts two and one
half hours. without break and With
out change of setting. The music
contains all the motives OF the play
the songs and the dances of the
fairies, the chase of the lovers, the
dances OF the rustic clowns, the great
Titania and the airiness OF Puck.
All music lovers are more or less
familiar with the score of music, es'
pecially the wedding march. Ben
Greet as Bottom, the weaver; George
Vivian as Puck, and Ruth Vivian as
Titania. as well as the other \charac
ters, were in capable hands. "Ye
Spotted Snake" anc Through This
House." were sung BY Miss Grace
Clark Kahler.
The production as whole was de
lightful and worthy the genius OF
Shakespeare and a Mendelssohn.

the revivals are essentially methods

been informed that his latest crea-

berry," is declared a failure. Many

much success in this vicinity. Yes

Washington. July 20.-Fifty thou
sand able bodied men are wanted in
the harvest fields of the west TO take
care Of the bounteous crop. Farmers
are literally begging for help, accord
ing to officials of the department of
commerce and labor, whose functions
are in part to find employment for
the throngs of aliens who come into
this country. Officials are almost
powerless because of the penniless
condition OF many of the emigrants.
The suggestion is made that railroads
transport the aliens at actual cost as
their profit would come from hauling
back tremendous products OF aliens
labor.

SAMUEL HILL WILL
BUILD TOWN

Planning an ideal farming COM
munity with all modern urban con-
veniences. such as daily mail de-
livery, daily newspapers, telephones,
water and sewer systems. on a scale
never before attempted on the Pacific
coast. Samuel Hill, the famous good
roads advocate ana son In law of
James J. Hill. has completed the pur-
chase Of 5000 acres Of land in one
body on the Spokane, Portland &
Seattle railroad. and will colonize the
tract with prosperous farmers from
the east, drawn largely from the
Quakers OF Pennsylvania.
The tract cost Mr.. Hill more than
$500, 600 and il lies in a particularly
favored spot in Klickitat county, in
eastern Washington. 1t is TO be
known to fame hereafter as the Mary
Hill tract. and the railway station
where the traveller alights from his
car TO reach the tract has already
been named Maryhill.
Now. there's a delicious bit of SEN
timent in the naming OF the settle
ment which Mr.. Hill hopes some day
will be pattern and a model TO all
who. like himself, believe in the up
lift OF the farmer and the beneficent
results that will come in time to the
nationwide movement which calls
the people black to the soil
The story is told quickly. Why
Maryhill?" The question easily might
be asked. Well. simply because Mr..
Hills mother-in-law was christened
Mary, and his wife, the daughter Of
James J. Hill, was likewise chris
tened Mary. and the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs Samuel Hill was named
Mary. so all three of the Mary Hills
share in the honor.
Mr.. Hill has number OF eastern
investors associated with him In the
scheme OF improving and planting
the big 6,000-acre tract at Maryhfn.
Small farms will eventually become
the rule, and hotel, schoolhouse
and other improvements have already
been provided A systematic effort
will be made TO enlist the support
OF Pennsylvania Quakers in the
Maryhill enterprise. Mr. Hill being

Riverside, Wash, July 20.-Spe-
cial land agents ordered to the work
by the United States land Office have
been active in this vicinity ferreting
out homesteaders delinquent in car
rying out orders Of the federal gov
eminent. Numbers of homesteaders
have been contested by the govern
ment after receiving their patents
and these cases are now being held
in allegiance by the general land Of
fee in Washington Others who
have in recent months made commu-
tation proof have been ordered back
to the homestead by the special
agents, in most cases the reason for
such action being that the commut-
ers proved up and held the land for
speculative purposes.
A resident OF Riverside. who to-
day returned from the Tunk valley,
east OF here, a region exclusively set
tied by homesteaders, brings In the
sensational report that c. w. Rice,
a resident of the valley, is In receipt
Of q letter signed by committee of
20 advising him that il he does not
leave the country by July 20 he will
be hanged to the rest tree.
Mr.. Rice is accused of having in
formed special land officers on the
delinquencies OF homesteaders in the
Tunk valley.
Mr.. Rice for the last two days has
been riding around the valley trying
to ascertain the author of the letter.
He is Texan and goes Dy the So
