NORMAN HACKETT MAX Is
FRIENDS WITH PHOEN TX
Classmates" at thc Elks Last Night
A Play of Great Dramatic Force.

After repeated curtain calls and wild
cheers of approval, Norman Hackett
last night stepped out of his character
~ Duncan Irving. the fever stricken
wretch of the South American jungle
and. clad in his tattered garb. ap-
peared before the curtain and told the
audience what he thought of the dem
onstration.
1t is my first visit TO Phoenix" he
said. when he could catch his breath
after the violent strain of the preceding
five minutes, but l assure you it will
not be my last. The appreciation Of
an audience such as this is. means
more 10 me than l can say. and on this
occasion ] gladly violate a rule Of the
stage 10y coming out of my character
20 let YOU know how deeply / feel the
compliment YOU have paid tonight TO
the play and those who present it,
The public took Mr.. Wheelock's word
for it that Norman Hackett and
Classmates" were neither second nor
third rate-just only first; and they
We're not disappointed. The EIks'
theater was crowded and not a dispar-
aging comment was heard from any
one.
Classmates ran for twenty-one
weeks at the Hudson theater in New
York last year and has been touring
the country ever since. II was written
by w. c. DeMilIe and Margaret Turn
bull and is in four acts. There is
hardly a weak spot in any part OF the
play. but the jungle scene in the third
act is without doubt the fittest oppor-
tunity Mr.. Hackett has of displaying
his unusual talents as an emotional
actor. The scene representing four
fever stricken men lost in the jungle
fighting over a drop of brandy, Is one
that could easily be married b. exag-
serition and an attempt to make il
more horrible than it mas any right to
be. Yet the horror Of it rings true as
the scene advances and when the
hcliograph Of the rescuers flashes its
message which is read by Duncan Try
ing. the ecstaCy of his JOY. mingled
with fever madness, is a bit Of acting
that places Norman Hackett way up
high in the solar system.
Mr. Hackett is particularly happy in

GREAT. NORTHERN WILL
BUILD OKANOCAN BRANCH

Seattle, July 31.-The Post Intelli-
gencer says:
Within few days the Great North
ern will let the contract for the con-
struction of it's 70 mile line to connect
Brewster and Oroville, near the Cana
dian boundary, which road will later
on be connected with the main line at
Wenatchee. The Great Northern has
practically completed the purchase of
the right of way for the projected Oro-
ville-Brewster line from Oroville south
to McLaughlin's canyon, a distance of
20 miles. The road follows the Okan-
ogan river all the way, and except for a
few miles in the canyon, will be easy
to construct.
Tracklaying on the Waterville line
lis finished to Alstown, % miles above
Columbia. It will be only few days
until the steel is down to Douglas, six
miles further on, and the remaining
four miles to Waterille is but small
task. The line to Waterville, will be-
come an important factor in the devel-
opment of that section of the country,
and the Great Northern expects to
haul out 1000, 900 bushels of wheat
this season.

GRAIN RATE FINDINGS WILL
BE ANNOUNCED AUGUST rs

Olympia, Aug. 3.-August 25 the
state railroad commission will announce
it's fine ings on the petition of w. r.
Cunningham, Of Ritzville, and hun
dreds of other east side grain growers
that the Northern Pacific be compelled
to reduce it's rates on wheat from Ad-
ans and other counties to the Sound.
The complaint has been under con-
sideration by the commission for many
months. Hearings were had last year
at Ritzville and further evidence was
taken Monday. o. 0. Calderhead, rate
expert of the commission, was on the
stand and gave figures from data he
had compiled, showing in brief that if
the wheat rates are too high, as the pc
titioners complain, rates On nearly ev-
cry other commodity are likewise ex-
cessive. In a word, before the COM
mission Can decide in favor of the petit
TONERS. it must determine that the
railroads are earning more revenue
than they are entitled to and then, if
any order of reduction is made respect
ing wheat, similar orders must be made
covering practically every class of
freight handled within the state.
The railroads put in evidence Mon
day testimony as to the market value
of wheat at the Coast during the past
two years. The commission put in its
findings as to the value of railroad
property.

Too Many Tourists to Park

Ogden, July S1.-Tourist travel to
Yellowstone park over the Oregon
Short Line has been unprecedenedly
heavy during the past week or ten days
and from ten to fifteen coaches OF
sleepers have been crowded with pas
sengers each day during the last few
days. AS result of this heavy influx
OF sightseers, the hotels in the. park
are crowded to the limit and no more
tickets will be sold over this rout until
the present rush is over. It is expect
ed that ample accommodations will
again be offered tourists within a week
and then tickets will again be offere
for sale.

SECOND DISTRICT ELECTION
TO BE HELD NOVEMBER 2

Seattle, July 31.-The Post mtelli-
gencer prints the following from its
Olympia correspondent
Tuesday, November 2, is the date
on which the electors of the Second
Congressional district will be called
upon to select successor to the late
Francis w. Cushman" said Gov. M.
E. Hay.
The question was put to him fatty
"When do you propose to issue call
FOR the special election?'
His answer was: "When the legis-
lature convenes F"
Continuing he said: 81 want to
consult with the members of the legis-
lature from the second district and
with the leaders of the party before1
issue the call for the election. I think
that the legislature should perhaps pass
bill providing the manner of nomi-
mating candidates for the position, but
whatever course is provided, the call
when issued, will be for November q.
'There is no necessity for an imme-
date election. In fact, I do not think
it would be wise TO have an early cleo
ton, because the farmers, the lumber
men, the fishermen and others are now
at their busiest season."
''Is not the Second congressional
district deprived of representation by
the failure to have an election % was
asked.
Certainly not" said the governor.
"We have our two United States sena-
tors and two representatives, who are
fully able to look after the interests of
the Second district, which are those of
the whole state.
when the legislature meets on Au-
gust II, propose to consult it'll the
members and leaders from the second
district and learn their views and de-
sirss. If they want to pass a bill pro-
viding for nominations under the di-
rect primary, that will be satisfactory
to me. It will also be satisfactory if
they should pass bill proving for
nominations under the old convention
system. It is a matter for the Second
district to settle.

WAITINGFOR
STUBS
TRAFFIC DIRECTOR OF UN-
ION PACIFIC PREPAR-
ING SCHEDULES.
Road Is Ready to Enter Seattle
AS Soon AS They are Finished.
Through Trains Will Run Both
From San Francisco and Chi
cagO.

Union Pacific trains will not be
running into Seattle until J. G. Stubs.
traffic director of the Hartman lines,
has had time to prepare a schedule
that will affect the Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific, Chicago & North
western and the Northern Pacific s
Portland division. This was state
ment given out by J. D. Farrell, after
a long conference with Julius Krutt-
schmitt, director of maintenance and
operation of the Hartman lines.
The matter of having schedules
changed so that trains can leave Chi
cago and San Francisco and run direct
to Seattle requires a great deal of work
and it was decided that until Mr..
Stubs has completed his task it would
be unwise to set date, although Mr..
Farrell and Mr.. Kruttschmitt feel that
they could name date and be sure of
the service, yet they prefer to wait
until Mr.. Stubs has completed every
detail.
Before leaving Seattle Mr.. Krutt-
schmitt stated that he was agreably
surprised in two things on this visit.
First, the holdings of the Union Pacific
looked so much better in reality than
on blue prints, and the exposition he
declared to be the prettiest one he had
ever visited.
. II am going back decidedly well
pleased with the Hartman lines posi-
tion, not only in this city, but in the
Puget Sound country as whole, -
said Mr.. Kruttschmitt, land after
going ever our property today feel
that such statement is mild way Of
speaking about the immense amount
of property we have within the limits
of this city.
''Mr. Farrell has the situation we'll
in hand here and, aside from being
compelled to use temporary passen-
ger station, is ready for any kind Of
traffic.
Mr. Farrell said he was just as anx-
ious to make the announcement about
the Union Pacific service as the public
was anxious to hear it, but he wanted
to be absolutely sure before he gave
out anything further concerning this
question.
''There isn't a thing holding us back
now except the schedule" said Mr..
Farrell, ''for we have made all arrange
ments to enter Tacoma, connect with
our own tracks there, and then to enter
Seattle over the Columbia and Puget
Sound from Black river When our
service does start, passenger can
board train in Chicago and come d.
rect to Seattle. And we hope to give
service that Seattle and the travelling
public will appreciate. It is the same
with the California service. The
Shasta Limited will run direct to this
city from San Francisco
