THREE Of Us"
IS FINE PLAY

Turning again to the west for it's
inspiration, the Bakers have pro
duced as their weeks offering
1.-THE Three of U.s. a melodrama
dealing with romance and fortune
in the gold fields of Idaho. The
embodiment of the piece is really
found in the fortunes of the Nc
Chesney family, following the
death of the father, but the real
plot that rises uppermost and
commands the attention is the love
tale between McChesney's daugh
ter, Rhy, and Steve Townley, q
young miner. Franklin Under
wood, as the latter character, has
rather difficult part and he has
labored a good deal to present it il
capable manner-incidentallI
succeeding very creditably. Fran
els Slosson as the McChesney girl
whose father and two brothers are
miners, and who aids them il
working the mine which is t
bring fortune to them, is consisten
in her Interpretation and received
merited applause.

UNUSUAL BILL
At PAN7AGEs

The bill at the Pantages theater
this week is opened by a very
clever colored team, a man and
woman. the man being a number
one dancer, some singer and come
dian also The woman plays the
piano for the singing and dancing
and afterward plays the trombone
very well, and, judging from the
encores, Dotson and Lucas will
prove the best colored entertainers
of the season. The little comedy
sketch, "A Lesson in Love-" put on
by Tanner and Gilbert, allows
plenty of laughs, for it really is
funny and both sing well.
The best juggler seen in Spokane
is on the bill-Leo Rapoli-and he
does some things which seem i'm
possible, and juggles a variety o.
odd things, ranging from cannon
balls to real eggs. His work is
very rapid, clean cut and an ac
which is right up in the headline
class. The ChartreS sisters and j
Frank Halliday have a very at
tractive asst, Studies in Song" il
which they sing, dance and receive
enough encores to nearly stop thu
| show.
The headliners, Captain Devlin
Zauaves, in their marvellous mill
tary maneuvers, arouse the great
est enthusiasm, for it is very rapid
exact to the minute and simply per
| feet in every detail. The wall seal
ing is wonderful piece of work
and the whole act is worthy tn
| position of headliner.

LOTS Of FUN At
WASHINGTON

That the show at the Washing
ton theater this week is good is
evidenced by the applause which
every act brought forth. Caron
and Farnum, with marvellous tact
induced unbounded mirth with
their comedy acrobatic work. Fred
and Elsa Pendleton, with their mu.
steal instruments, kept the audi
ence wrapt with their violin play
ing. Emil Dodd and company, in
"The Awakening of Lucille" pre-
sent an out of the ordinary sketch
which shows the genius which the
juvenile artist, Miss Dodd, pos.
sesses and calls for no small
amount of dramatic tact by the
older members of the sketch. Ma
mond and Forester are the scream
from the comedy side, in their dia
logue and musical humor act. Ma
bel Mckinley, 1.-The most popular
girl on the American stage" as the
Washington pleases to call her
sings some late. songs, but the
yum Yum Tree" song calls fol
the most applause.
The Rosaries, in graceful ant
daring slackwire and tightwire
work, are unusually good.

THE LAWRENCE
co. IS HERE

The Del S. Lawrence company
which is to open the new American
thaeter on Christmas evening with
Alfred Sutro's THE Walls of Jeri
cho," arrived in Spokane this morn
ing on their own special car over
the Northern Pacific. The com
pany are all delighted to get back
to their home, as they call it, and
over the prospects of spending at
least a year in Spokane.
The carload of special scenery is
being transferred to the theater,
which is entirely ready for occu-
pancy. The final rehearsals will

PROPERTY OWNERS
ARE LIABLE

Section 116. Liability of own
er of Auditing Property: In case
any injury or damn &c to any person
shall be caused by the defective
condition of any sidewalk, or by
ice or snow thereon, or by lack Of
proper guards or ratings on or
along the property abutting on any
public way, the abutting property
where the injury or damage occurs,
and the owner or owners thereof,
shall be liable to the city for all
damages, injuries costs and dis
bursements which it may be re-
quired to pay to the person in
jured."
Since the fact has been brought
to the surface that abutting prop
erty owners are made liable for ac-
cidents caused by pedestrians fall
ing on slippery walks, under the
proposed new charter, there has
been great objection to 1t on this
score.
Especially is this noticeable in
the outskirts, where the working,
men live. The average citizen can,
not go to court to defend his rights
in a suit of this kind short of 5000,
While the city employs corps OF
lawyers by the year. Heretofore
the city looked after such matters
but the new charter places the bur
DIN on the individual property own
erS.

trade, she's all gone. You know
who we shave now? No? Well,
we shave everybod' who has no

Shops" said he, "the BARRIERS insist
on supplementing a shave with a
hair cut, a shampoo and all the
other trimmings they can get the
customer to stand for This prac-
tice is mre prevalent in Frisco than
any place else. No man wants to
go into shop for shave and
have the barber tell him that his
hair is getting thin. falling out, or
that he has a diseased scalp. This
| touting of treatments and remedies
has driven more men away from
| barber shops than any other rea-
son. Why, last week | had one of
my regular customers come in and
have his hair cut before going to
Frisco.
When he returned a week later
he told me that the Frisco barber
who shaved him on his arrival in

manager of a shop in the residence

themselves, but we are might,

that they cannot cut their own hair

And then again we hear of tn
case where shaving is done with
view to economy. One well know
Spokane man shaves himself ever,
morning and then puts Is cents il
in little tin bank. It's very ev
dent that he doesn't always Civ

beats the game, because he doesn

customers had dropped off 25 pc

The investigation proved severe
, things:
: First-That more men shaw

Second-That mems faces don

Third-That men will handl

MEAT STILL HIGH

Spokane's hopes that the prices
Of meat had declined were dashed
Saturday, when the announcement
that this was more or less untrue
was made by local merchants. The
term dressed meat is often taken
to mean dressed beef, and a result
ing mixup is not conducive to re-
lieve the pocketbook in the slight
est. Dressed beef is practically the
same in price except for the in
ferior cuts, which are selling a cent
or two lower. Pork has declined
from 2 to cents for the choice
cuts.

REAL CHINESE
PUZZLE IS IN
THE NAMES

The evidence given in a bigamy
case before the United States Court
this morning, served to throw some
light on the peculiar method of chang
ing names that is in vogue among the
Chinese. A witness, who claimed to
have expert knowledge, stated that
child was first called name by his
mother until he was a month old
that was the family name. Then he
was given his permanent name, but ne
discarded this for ordinary usage when
he went to school, for he was handed
another when he began his studies.
When he went into business he took
another name, and When he got mar
ried he reached out for another. I'm
DERIVING all these names was the fam
lily name, but this, like the family
bible, was only to be taken out on
special occasions. The numerous
changes explain why there are so
many Chinese with the same, or sim
liar names. The supply of new names
has given out long ago. The popula-
tion of China, at a conservative esti.
mate, is said to be 1000 900 and those
entering the same of life at this late
period have some difficulty in getting
something new.
An interesting point about the evi
dence was the familiar way in which
the witness referred TO the method of
pronunciation, and the fact that there
has now grown up way of pronounc
ing names, known as "our way" Ac-
cording to this witness there is no in
correct way of pronouncing a name.
He quoted the name of Ian This
could be pronounced Lin, Lun, Ian,
Loon. cor any other way?" suggest
ed Attorney Lightfoot.
YES" answered the witness.
And so it was with several other
names that he quoted. The witness
himself had about five.

WEATHERFINE ON
OTHER ISLANDS

Finest kind of sugar cane wea-
ther," is the report of c. Brewer C
Company today on conditions at Hilo,
along the north coast of Hawaii and
in Kau. All the crops are off and pre-
paration is now being made for the
new season which begins in Deem
Der. Everywhere the maturing cane
is on excellent condition, while the
young cane is in better shape than in
years at even dates. Brewer & Co. an
ticipate record yields at all of their
plantations next year.
The same fiattering reports come
from Honokaa. The winter grinding
will show some of the effects of the
fine weather and new irrigation facil-
tiles, but the full results of improved
conditions are not to be expected I'M
til the present young cane is milled.

vised from Pioneer of excellent wea-

time, and the days are warm. The
young cane never looked better in the

CHEMISTS HOLD
ANNUAL MEETING

Exactly two dozen chemists and
kindred spirits attended the annual
meeting of the Hawaiian Chemists
Association in the Judd building this
morning. Permanent organization
was at once proceeded with, and i'm.
media'ely afterward the reading OF
papers began. Discussion of these
papers has taken up the time since.
The meeting came to order with c.
c. James, chemist of the Pacific
Guano e Fertilizer Company, in the
chair. Prof. r. S. Norris, assistant
chemist experiment station of the Fl.
S. p A., was made temporary secre-
tary.
When the election of permanent
officers came on, Frank e. Greenfield,
chemist of Eva plantation, was
placed in nomination for the presi-
dency and unanimously elected. Prof.
Il. S. Norris was elected vice president
Samuel s. Peck, chemist of the II.
S. P. A., was unanimously elected
permanent secretary and treasurer.
The executive committee is as fol-
lows: c. c. James, chemist of the
Pacific Guano & Fertilizer Company;
Horace johnson, chemist Waialua Ag-
ricultural Company; H. E. Savidge,
chemist Hawaiian Commercial &
Sugar Compdny, Maui; James W.
Donald, chemist Honokaa Sugar Com
pany, Hawaii.
An assessment of 50 per chemist
was levied on the Association for
routine expenses.
Then followed a number of papers,
all of a technical character and none
of public interest All of them came
in for discussion, and some were or
dered printed in chemists journals
abroad. The first of these papers
was by Walter P. Kelley, chemist of
the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment
Station, and dealt with the use of
nitrates, etc. Another was by Alfred
Kraft, assistant chemist of Waialua
plantation, and had to do with filtra-
ton. A third paper, by DR.. r. S.
Norris, was on the subject of boiler
scales and compounds.
These three papers give an idea of
the line followed up to noon when adj
journment was thken to this after
noon.
This evening the chemists will
wind up their convention with their
annual banquet at the Seaside hotel.

HUGHES TALKS OF
HAKALAU RAILWAY

JohH A. Hughes, master car builder
of the Oahu Railway, returned in the
Mauna Kea on Saturday from a Wis
it of nearly week at Hilo and along
the Hakalau extension of the Hilo
railway.
Regular trains are now being run
to Papaikou," said the railroad man
this morning, land grading as far as
Hamakua Mill is under way. 1t is
now a question of but short time
when trains will reach Into the Ham
akua district.
81 was astonished at the richness
and apparent possibilities of the
country traversed by this railroad. AS
soon as the trains started freight for
the various mills and towsn began to
pile up, ang people up the line began
to get all sorts of things ready for
market From the beginning the
trains had about all they could han
die, and this traffic will increase ra-
pidly as the people get used to max
ing shipments by rail.
81 was also surprised at the amount
of passenger traffic there is along the
route. l was aware that Japanese bus
ses were Going considerable business
along the coast, but the trains are
carrying far more people than could
possibly find accommodation in road
vehicles. In both passenger and
