LOVE ROUTE
WORTH SEEING

"The Love Route" at the Spo-
kane theater this week, will afford
you a pleasant evenings entertain
ment. The scene is laid in Texas,
and it's all about a girl, a ranch. a
railroad and right of way owned
by said girl. Jane Kelton takes
the role of the girl, and does an
excellent piece of acting. Lawrence,
who takes the part of the railroads
civil engineer, falls in love with the
girl rancher, and there are some
very pretty and interesting develop
ments.
The Lawrence company appar-
emily love nothing better than cow
boy roles, and they certainly have
got 'em down pat. Lawrence and
Miss Kelton are unusually well sup
ported. "The Love Route" is we'll
worth seeing. 1t was presented we'll

even better presentations will be

LOS ANGELES, July Thames
J. Jeffries will start late today for
Catalina island for a weeks fishing.
Whom he returned he may make a
definite announcement regarding
another battle with Champion Jack
johnson.
Jeffries is still upon "the fence"
so far as the proposed second meet
ing is concerned. He declared that
many things must be considered be-
fore he can make a decision. Chief
among them is his present condi-
ton, for the big fellow has not re-
covered from the effects of the fight
at Reno. His right eye is causing
him no little worry. 1t still is dis
colored and while his sight is much
improved, it is not normal.
Jeffries' Catalina trip will be al
most a solitary excursion. His only
companion will be James Bailey Of
Duluth, Mimi, who has accompan-
led him on many similar trips.
Il would be foolish to say now
that I will fight Johnson again"

BIG FEATURES

People who went to the Pantages
theater yesterday were still talking
about last weeks cowboy girl and
men. That act undoubtedly was
one Of the best vaudeville stunts
ever pulled off in Spokane, and
Pantages certainly turned a good
trick when he got it for his circuit.
This weeks bill is good. "The
Land Of Lutus" piece Is quaint and
novel. Japanese songs and dances
are given, and the scenic effects
alone are worth going to see.
Twenty Minutes Layover at AL
falfa Junction" is a funny skit Of
the usual kind, which serves to
make complete vaudeville per-
Torrance, but three people-two
pretty girls and man-are in this
one, and it's amusing.
Kelly and Ably have a comedy
acrobatic feature which is way
above the ordinary, and well worth
seeing.

brought up, when a letter to the
major from c. B. Martin, of Port
land, is read. Martin is one of
thdse who are now having their
inventions tested in Portland and
in asking for consideration of his
patent, he speaks of the compli-
mentary press notices which he re-
ceived from the Portland papers
after the tests. The fender extends
but a foot in front of the car and
it's sponsor says that it is impossible
for anything, no matter how small,
to get under the fender after it
has been let down A test of the

straight on from behind those dark
trees just beyond him.
