Then came the great event
in the career of the prosper
GUS young city. The Ameri-
can Slate Products Company
was organized by Seattle and
eastern capitalists, to manu-
facture slate products under
a German patent, to which
the syndicate holds all the
American rights. The ma

widely used and have taken
the place of slate, cement and
marble in a large degree in
Europe. The factories for
making the products are nee

great many men. Fuel must

OTHELLO AN INDUSTRY.
AL CENTER

Othello became a town
within a few days. Hotels
were built to house the work
men, who found themselves
in an odd situation of living
at a division point where
there was no town. Follow
ing the hotels, came hastily
constructed stores, and a few
roughly-built houses. The
Milwaukee railroad company
recognized the Importance of
Othello and graded it's
streets and announced that
a water works system would
be built at once.
Trade from every direc-
ton began pouring into the
young city, and the ship.
ments Of wheat and farm
products from the new point
began to astonish the offic-
ers of the railroad, who
looked over the shipping re-
ports and were attracted by
the big figures furnished by
the new division point.
Othello became one of the
principal wheat shipping
points before the city was
half a year old.

A LAND OF PLENTY

If anyone had conceived
Of the Importance of the spot
at the crossing Of these two
valleys, from a commercial
standpoint, he lacked either
ability or finances to take
advantage Of his discovery,
for the most highly favored
site for a city, in Eastern
Washington, was a ranch un-
til less than a year ago, when
the railroad ran it's trains
across its new road, and the
City of OTHELLO came in
to being.
OTHELLO became a city
by natural process. Trains
were made up, engines were
repaired, crews were chang
ed, engines coaled and the
vast work Of railroading
could be carried on with
least effort and least expense
at OTHELLO. So OTHEL-
10 was made a divisional
point. Shops, with machin-
cry for keeping up locomo-
tives, cars, airbrakes and the
general equipment of a great
railroad. were built as quick
ly as human energy would
permit. Roundhouses were
built to house the engines
which are housed at divi-
sional points. A depot, in
keeping with the pretensions
of the town, with all the de-
partments of a modern de-
pot, in the way of restaurant,

spins platter, it is difficult to be-
lieve that she is human. There is
fury and lightning quickness in
their motions.
In Mordkine's Bow and Arrow"
dance, he dresses something like
an American Indian, and his leaps
into the air are so tremendous that,
in one part of the dance, though
his feet are bare, he clears the
stage in several bounds, each as
high as a mans shoulders.
PavlOwa and NIOrdkine were
brought from the imperial opera in
st. Petersburg by the management
of the Metropolitan opera house in
New York, and they form one of
the most striking features of the
grand opera season.

AT THE THEATER.S
At the Orpheun,

The call of vaudeville has been
needed again by Eddie Leonard, the
shining light of minstrelsy, and he
will appear as the head line attrac-
ton on the bill at the Orpheum
which opens with the matinee to-
morrow afternoon. He comes in
the most successful offering he has
vt shown, "At Home Again" From
Hast' to coast and even abroad Ed
do Leonard is known as the man
who set the whole world a-singing
Notwithstanding" His inimit-
able singing and dancing has
served to place him in a position
in the theatrical world where he
has hosts of imitators, but no
equals.
Mabel Bardine and capable
company come in Chinese sketch
which is distinct novelty in
vaudeville. 1t is entitled "Suey
San and the talented actress ap-
pears in the title role. The sketch
Is replete with dramatic incident
bud might be called a one act trag-
10y. The plot centers around the
daughter of a rich Chinese mer-
chant whose hand is sought by two
of her cOuntrymen.
James Harrigan will be a well
come member on the bill. Harri
gan is we'll known as the original
tramp juggler and invented the
lazy and ragged individual who has
been widely initiated.
1t falls to the lot of the Olivotti
Troubadours to furnish the princi-
pal musical number on the bill.
These clever musicians will play
on the violin and guitar and the eff
fects they obtain are said to be re-
markable. They have an extern
sive repertoire ranging from the
classical to popular.
Miss Lillian Ashley, singing
coincidence and mimic, is a cute
and versatile bit of femininty with
personal charms, a pretty face, and
a pleasing manner of telling her
stories and singing her songs. She
fairly radiates good nature and in
her representations of child types
Is at her best.
Tony and Erna Ballot will appear
in really gymnastic act in which
they present a number of remark
able feats of strength. They make
an attractive couple, the sweet,
pretty and graceful girl being no
less accomplished than her 1.-THE
and handsome companion.
Then comes AL Summers, must
cal fellow with penchant for aero
batic dancing, good comedian and
a pleasing entertainer at all times.
Special music by the enlarged
Orpheum orchestra and reel of
the latest and best motion pictures
will complete the bill which
promises much.

SHOW REMARKABLE
GROWTH

Othello is enjoying a
growth such as few cities
have ever known. It's i'm
mense agricultural resources
alone would be sufficient to
assure it a future as one Of
the great cities Of the state.
Its fruit is of the same high
quality, both as to the deli
cate coloring and the exquis-
ite flavor, as the product of
the famous Wenatchee and
Yakima valleys. In fact,
keen judges say Othello fruit
is the perfection of pomolo-
gy, possessing all that is
highest in quality of both
the older fruit regions. Ger
tain it is that the Moses
Lake, Crab Creek and Big
Bend valleys, which con-
verge at Othello, are situated
squarely between the Wenat-
chez valley to the north and
the Yakima valley to the
south. The chemical analy-
ses of the soil give practic-

that he Is employed. Thus would be
shown a violation of the child labor
laws.
OF course, Information given the
census enunerators will be held In
strictest confidence and no prosecu-
tons of any sort can follow the Civ
ing census Information. But, for
the first time in history, we are go
ing to get accurate information as
to the numbers Of children en-
ployed by American manufacturers.
AS a result of this census we will
know whether there Is an exodus
from or to the farm, we will under
stand American labor conditions
better than ever before, we will
probably receive interesting side
light upon the high cost of living.

9The field work is in charge OF 800
who will direct some
10000 enumerators-the one who
will go from door to door. Then
there will be 1900 special agents
garnering statistics of various sorts
and other agents enumerating in
Hawaii and Alaska. ...
Incidentally, it may be noted that
Sthe census in Alaska has nearly all
nbeen taken. The count there began
Jan. 1, because then the miners and
prospectors were all gathered into
towns easy of access.
The constitution directs that a
census be taken every 10 years to
determine how many men each
state may send to the house of rep
And in early times this

was the extent of the census: mere
ly count of heads.
But now the tallying has a much
broader worth. This year each man,
woman and child in the land will
be asked 80 questions. 1t is the
most complete census ever attempt
ed by this or any other country.
The figures complied from the to-
tails of the 80 answers will be of the
highest Importance to all Of us.
Legislation of various sorts may be
expected to follow.
For instance each person will be
required to tell his correct age un-
der penalty of 500 fine. In another
column he will tell whether he is
employed or not. So a child of II
years may say in another column

ally the same ingredients in
the same proportions as the
wonderful volcanic ash
ground Of these "world ia
nous" fruit districts. The
fruit of the Hood River coun-
try is said to be practically
the same quality as the
Othello fruit.
Othello Highlands, a large
area of the choicest fruit
land in the vicinity, was
bought up by a group of cap
italists associated with the
R. S. King Company, and
will be placed on the market
shortly in small tracts, upon
easy payments, to encourage
the rapid development of the
fruit industry in the vicinity.
The Highlands lie just back
of the city and afford a gor-
geous view of the surround
ing country. The trains, as
they come into the city, from
every direction, are visible
from the homes of the fruit
growers. The Crab Creek
Valley, to the north, appears
a beautiful panorama Of
green and gold and brown, at
harvest time. In the dis.
lance, Mount Rainier pokes
her white dome above the
coulees.
