Ellis Chilled
In The House

WASHINGTON, Mar. 15.-Wade H.
Ellis and his present relation to the
department of justice and the re-
publican campaign in Ohio, were free
ly discussed in the house today.
Minority Leader Clark insisted on
knowing, in connection with appropri-
atoms for the department of justice,
whether Mr.. Ellis had actually ceased
to draw his salary as assistant at
torney general since ne had taken
charge of the Ohio campaign. Mr..
Tawney expressed confidence that Mr..
Ellis no longer drew any salary from
the government.
This is not the first time that men
who obtained confidential information
in public office, which might be of
great value in the conduct of a cam
paign have been selected for such
duty" shouted Mr.. Fitzgerald of New
York. Mr. Ellis mas had an oppor-
tunity to get information that can he

Mr.. Fitzgerald added that the infor-
nation possessed by Mr.. Ellis by his
having conducted the Standard Oil
prosecution for the government would
be of value in getting contributions,
especially as 1.-THE Standard Oil COM
pany had not been without difficulties

cloak room, where, he explained, he
had telephoned the department to get
this information about Ellis.
Mr.. LOngworth said while Mr.. Ellis
might still be on the payroll of the
government, yet he knew Mr.. Ellis
would not draw any further salary on
that account.

Mr.. Ellis then said he resigned his
office as assistant to the attorney gen.
eral on March l to accept the chair
manship of the republican state exc
cutive committee of Ohio and he ex-
pected to be relieved of his duties in
Washington Immediately but because
of delay in securing his successor
and the absence from the department

with the Standard Oil case, he was
asked to serve in the department.

Referring to campaign contributions,
Mr.. Ellis said:

porations making a contribution for
political purposes. If the Ohio cam
paisn is in my charge, shall neither
solicit not accept a contribution from
any corporation nor permit any one
else to do 50 for the republican COM
mittee. More than this, I shall invite
the democratic committee to cooper
ate in obedience to this law and also
to cooperate, whether required by law
or not, in publishing all contribu-
tions."

The idle Rich"

idle Rich" the play to be present.
ed next Friday night by the sopho-
more class of Whitman college. was
written by Henry Guy Carleton, who
has made a name in New York as a
writer of American society plays.
idle Rich is a society play, entirely
free from the coarseness which often
times goes with plays of this name.
1t is not strictly speaking problem
play, but it involves plots which
sparkle with wit and humor. 1t does
not have a dry moment from the
start. The characters in it are every
day people with everyday problems
to face. The leading parts, namely
Mr.. Frederick Ossian and Miss Mir
am Stuart Dodge, have been played
in New York within the last year,
with great success by John Drew and
Maude Adams. These characters in
the play Friday night will be por-
trayed by Mr.. Virgil Bennington and
Miss Ruth Merrill. Then there are
the other characters, each one strong
and each with an individuality his
own. Tom Atwater plays the role of
Bilser, the funny little French tailor.
Bessie Thurston, Mrs. Ossian, the
mother Of Frederick. John Dunbar is
Cawdle, the English butler, who in
variably gets things mixed up. George
Cole takes the part of Hiram Greene,
the farmer, who has. made his fortune
and retired from active service. Bar
rington Greene, the son Of Hiram, is
played by Chester Maxey. Marie Yes
g. ;c@o 10 hsoJ,
mother of the leading lady; Alice Nc

1t is over three years since the piece

the story may not be inapropos. John
Burkett Ryder, the INSCRIPTIONS mon
ey king of the world, is thwarted in his
plans by Judge Rossmore of the Unit
ed States supreme bench Ryder re-
solves to ruin both financially and in
reputation the honest jurist. The for
mer wreck has been accomplished
when shirley Rossmore, his daughter
and Ryder's only son, Jefferson, return
from a European trip. They met abroad
and had fallen in love. The girl,
learning of her fathers impending dis
grace. sets about to save his reputation
and becomes a member of the money

the dramatist's standpoint TO reveal

MEMBERS OF PIONEER DAYTON
FAMILIES ARE Welded

DAYTON, Wash, March Is
Especial. )-Member of two pioneer
families were married here yester-
day. Miss Mary M. Doran and Mr.
lessee Morris were joined in wedlock
at o'clock at the court house by
Justice of the Peace j. w. Holman
The wedding was the elimination of
pretty romance which started two
years ago when the bride, who is a
resident of Hot Lake, Ore, came to
Dayton as a nurse for her future hus-
band. The couple sought to keep the
marriage secret, and only two wit
nesses chosen from among court house
officials were present at the ceremony.
Justice Holman denied tying the
nuptial knot. Mr.. and Mrs. Morris
left last evening for Winona, where
the bridegroom owns a large wheat
ranch and where they will make their
home. Mr.. Morris comes from a
prominent pioneer family living at
Turner, in this county
Miss Fannie Irean White and Ray
A. Parke were married at o'clock at
the home of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. H. G.. White, in Brooklyn,
the Rev. w. H. Harris officiating.
About 20 guests were present and a
sumptous dinner was served. Mr.. and
Mrs. Parke will make their home in
Dayton. The bride was reared here,
her parents having lived in Columbia
and Walla Walla counties for 80
years.

"The Lion and the Mouse"


In the remark of a federal judge who
was recently offered the nomination of
one of the great political parties after
filming a certain trust a number of mil
lion dollars, For Gods sake leave me
my judicial honor, manhood and the
respect of my friends" we have the
keynote Of Charles Klein's great play
1.-THE Lion and the Mouse" which
comes to the Keylor Grand theater on
next Sunday, March 20.
This is one of the many recent in
stances which demonstrate beyond ca
vii that Mr.. Klein did not begin to
touch the center of reality when he
wrote his great drama which has kept
the public of the entire country talking
for the past three years. The clergy
and the press in reference to recent
graft Investigations have used this play
which Henry B. Harris had the wisdom
to produce as texts for sermons ano
editorials and lately the president of
the United States was urged to use the

play is known to be a carefully studied
depletion OF types and scenes in the
far west when most of the states were
then territories. The characters are
sk,llfully drawn and there is none Of
the highly colored material usually as
ISOLATED with stage portrayals of life
on the plains. In the matter of char
acterization "The Virginian" is espe.
cially rich "Trampas," Steve" "Hon-
ey Virgins" and the other cowboys
now so familiar to amusement seek
srs are living, moving beings-types
of the west as could be found there in
the early SOS.
The story relates principally to the
love of the "Virginian' for MOLLY
Wood" the pretty Vermont school
teacher ,and of the hatred Of Tram
pas" the villianous cattle thief, for
the ''Virginian." The third act has
proved one of the strongest and most
talked about dramatic scenes shown
on the stage in recent years. "Steve, -
who was the pal of the "virginian,' has
gone wrong; "Trampas" has induced
him to become cattle thief, and the
two with another couple of outlaws are
encamped at Horse Thief Pass, as
they suppose, miles away from the
vigilance committee pursuing them
They are, however, tracked to their
hiding place by the "Virginian" at
the head Of the vigalantes. 1t is part
Of his duty to assist in the lynching of
his old friend and comrade. The scene
is extremely touching, being of ex-
ceptional power and pathos, for it is
we'll known that Steve is more
sinned against than SHINING, having
been led astray by the stronger will OF
''Trampas." This episode of 1.-THE Vir-
ginian'' has probably called forth more
merited praise than any dramatic
scene produced on the stage of recent
years.
The Kirke La Shelle company is
headed by William L. Gibson, who
seems to have been created for the
! title role, which he so successfully
portrays. The impression Of physi
cal strength, of manly self-reliance, Of
humor, amiable aggressiveness and Of
resoure efuIness so essential to the true
character of the 'Virginian,' seems tc
have found suitable expression
through the portrayal of this cowboy
hero by Mr.. Gibson Mabel Wright viii

The Fine Qualities
 Of The Persialino
Will Make 1t a Profitable Addition
 to the Sheep Industry.

The Persiarino. What is it? It is a sheep. It is also an apparent solu- ton to the problem confronting Ari- zona sheepmen of combining a good woo.-clip with an excellent quality of mutton on large and hardy animal. F. T. Pomeroy has been experimenting with Persiarines on his ranch near Mesa with very gratifying results. and it may be remarked that Mir. Pome- roy's sheep carried away a very fair share of the blue ribbons at the last territorial fair
 Readers of The Republican will re- member q story Of Il few days ago. in which figures were introduced to prove that the sheermcn of this ter ritory are not getting from their flocks anywhere near as much wool per capita as their brethren in other states.

Excellent Resnlt of
 Sugar Beet Growing
The Experience of a California Man Which Can Easily be Duplicated
 by Tempe Ranehers.

From the fact that many acres in
 this section are now being planted to
 sugar beets. the following account of the experience of a California farmer.
 taken from The Great Vest will be of interest. This mans experience is timely because the land on which he grew such excellent crops was similar to much of the. land here-it had been in alfalfa for years and had been much pastured.
 The account is as follows:
 T. B. Gibson. prominent farmer of Woodland. Yolo county. has announc- ed the results obtained from a field of beets on his farm the statement showing net return of s60 an acre. Mir Gibson grew this season l50 acres of sugar beets. At the time this statement was issued returns were available covering one field of 34h acres About half of this field could not be irrigated because the levees were not high enough to carry the water through The yield on this half if from five to six tons per acre less than on that which was irrigated.
 That the crop is fair is due to the fact that the land was intensely cultivated. The early rains filled the soil with moisture and this was kept near the surface by constant blowing and roll ing.
 From the field Gibson shipped g
 carloads. the gross weight being L.
 3s7.1 pounds. or something over 6s3
 tons. After the beets were cleaned
 and properly trimmed at the factory.
 the net weight was 1.353.610 pounds.
 or about 676 tons. Gibson sold his
 beets on a flat rate contract for g
 ton. The gross revenue from the 35k
 acres was therefore 3,3s3.99. or at the
 rate of $96 per acre. Gibson had the option of selling on a percentage basis
 contract which have netted him s3.5l
 an acre more than he received on
 flat contract The net tonnage was
 1s2 tons per acre. although only one half this field was irrigated. The av- craze sugar was IFS per cent and the average purity s5.26 per cent.
 Mir Gibson kept accurate account of his expense. He estimates the ex- penses of blowing. preparing and seeding the land at s10 an acre. The cost of irrigating and hauling is about s an acre more. For hoeing. topping and loading on the wagons. s20 more must be added. making a total of S35 an acre. Gibson will therefore. net about s6O an acre on his 150 acres of beets Most of the land he planted to beets this year has been in alfalfa since 1869 and under pasture. It is therefore in high state of fertility.

H. HUNTER Manager

nine inches in length Sf fine soft wool
 Wool buyers are offering around 27 and 2S cents for wool now, but figur- ing it at the normal price of 22. this lambs crop of clothes was worth s4,Is to his owner. Sheepmen figure about s3 on the average for full-grown of the ordinary breeds.
 The meat of the Persarino is said to be particularly delicate and free from that 'sheepy'' flavor. In fact that quality has been well verified Witness the exploits of one Buffalo" Jones. thus known to fame, who. ac- cording to Mir. Pomeroy, ships from his ranch on the Colorado, dressed Persiarinos for discriminating Chi caSo appetite at 20 cents a pound net And as the sheep, grow to a large size his profit is not inconsiderable. It is time to tell how the Persiarino got his name. He is a cross between the merino and the descendants of the two sacred Persian sheep which were given by the Shah of Persia to Gen Lew Wallace as an especial token oi the royal favor. inasmuch as it is
 
 part with any of the sacred sheep ex- cept under extraordinary circum- stances. The others likewise came into the possession of an American in some manner. and these four were the genesis of the breed in the United States. The Persiarino. however. was the achievement of Buffalo" Jones who rejoices in the evolution of hy- brids and usually makes pretty penny from them in one way or an- other.
 One novel peculiarity of the Per- siarino Is his broad and heavy tail which he uses as a receptacle for such fat as he has no use for at the pres ent moment. If a time of famine comes upon him. however. he can sub- sist very nicely upon the contents of that tail alone for several weeks In the case of one of Mir Pomeroys rams. the tail now weighs. at a guess. about fifteen pounds.
