THE eRuN OPERA COMPANY

The entertainment given by the Le Brun Opera Company in the Elks thea ter Thursday night was of the most splendid character both as to the music presented and the acting with which the scenes were delireated. The at tendance. however. was by no means what artists of such rare talent should be favored with But though the house was disappointingly small, those who did go were thoroughly appreciative and the performars did their utmost to please. Mile. Madeline Vance, one of the singers. it was learned yester- day. is sister of Captain Brooks. who is associated with Contractor ORourke in the construction of the Roosevelt dam And that she is an accomplished musician was demon strated by those who heard her sing, while others may judge of her achieve ments by the prominent part she takes in the entertainment of so exquisite an artist as Madam Le Brun.
 A CORRESPONDENTS Republican. always willing to do the right thing, acknowledges error and corrects the statement that the Capitol baseball team Saturday engaged the Central school ball team in diamond duel It was not the Central school team but the junior Bible class of the Presby- terian Sunday school. though most of them attend the Central school. Man age Clarence Craig of the Sunday school team says. however. that it is d crack nine and it is ready now to take on q bank team or two if one can be found that can play ball. Mir. Craig is also a member of the Capitol team and had better go slow or his team mates will suspect that he threw the game to his Sunday school class. Gen eraI Ingalls,. who takes great pleasure in clean sport and is roofing hard for the Capitol team. says that if it will challenge the Kindergarten club he will back it to a finish. Incidentally the Capitol team has arranged to play the Phoenix National bank team d prac- tice game today if the latter can mus ter the strength. IL has been practicing in private. and it was reported yester- day that only four able bodied play CTS could be found. The rest have one or more fingers tied up and are more or less spavined. but they promise to be in good trim by today.

The ode Clock.

Few persons consider the clock MS a
piece Of machinery. especially when
got up in the cheap forms, which are
now so universal. But the principal
clock builders employ skilled en-
gineers. electrical and mechanical,
whose inventive minds are shown in
the ingenious makeup Of some of the
automatic clock devices which are be-
coming more and more commercially
popular in the effort to provide uni
form standard time throughout the
country. If simultaneous actions in
different parts of a large establish

all the clocks in the different depart

By the old way there were used many
high grade clocks. each expensive and

automatically regulates any number of
secondary clocks throughout the es.

The Electric Arc,

1t is not perhaps generally known
that in the so called arc lamp the light
comes from the incandescent cartoons.
the electric arc itself being practically
nonluminous. One Of the chief aims
Of inventors has been to make the arc
luminous instead of the carbons. In
the Steinmetz magnetic lamp this Is
effected by making the pencil for the
negative electrode of a combination of
magnetic iron ore with titianium oxide
and other chemicals. Virtually all the
light Of a Steinmetz lamp comes from
the arc. for the electrodes are not heat
ed to a temperature high enough to
render them incandescent. The life Of
the lamp Is thus prolonged.

FARMING.

Some of the new settlers In northern
Montana come from localities where
farming is conducted along scientific
lines, and know their business. They
consider Montana to be a promising
field for agricultural operations, but
are taking as few risks of disappoint.
ment as possible. The record of cli-
matte conditions kept by employees of
the United States weather bureau for
the past thirty years, give informa.
ton as to what may be expected in
that connection In average seasons,
and the chemical composition of the
soil In various localities is now be-
coming the subject of investig alton.
Samples of soil are being sent to the
experts of agricultural colleges, to
determine its adsptability to grain
production or any other crop suited
to this part of the country.
The department of agriculture, &C.
cording to q recent Washington dis
patch, is engaged extensively in this
work of ascertaining coil conditions
in the western states. James Wilson,
secretary of agriculture, in 1908, di.
rected the chief of the bureau of soils
of the United States department OF
agriculture, to begin n of the great.
est inventories of national soil re-
sources ever undertaken. The orders
were to make q soil survey OF the
lands west of the one huudredth meri.
dian and east of the Rocky mountains
from the Canadian boundary line to

The work was begun in western

of M. II. Lspham, completed the coil
survey of $3.50 square miles in west

EXPERIMENT.

This is the age of fads and fancies
in government. New schemes of ad.
minietration are being proposed and
tried out in various localities and the
mania for experimentation appears 10
be growing. The ''commission FORM
of municipal control has been estab.
lished 10 many small cities and q,
least one larger one, but the expert.
ment has not been carried far enough
yet to determine the value of the new
system. It will require time. However,
II has been demonstrated that the
''commission form" fails to provide
effective safeguards against municipal
corruption, in spite of the claims Of
its ardent adherents.
1t has remained for Oregon to 60 to
the furtherest extreme In '~'reforming"
state government. says the Kansas
City Journal. Under the new arrange.
ment Oregon, we are told, will soon
eliminate nine.tenths OF its elective
state officers. The governor and audi.
tor will still be elected directly by the
people, but all other administra alive
officers will be appointed by the gov.
ernor and he will be responsible for
all OF the affairs Of stste-except, of
course, the making and interpreting
of laws. The governor and the mem.
bers of his cabinet" as In limited
monarchies, will have seats in the
legislature and will take part in all
debates after the English custom. In
this way the governor will not only be
in direct touch with the lawmakers, but
he will be at hand at all times either
personally or through q member of
his cabinet to answer questions and
furnish information desired by the
legislature. Thus he will share to
some extent in the responsibility for
legislation also.
In addition to the governor and his
cabinet there will be three government
experts as advisers to the various
state departments, whose business it
will be to publish an official state ga.
zette every three months, which will
be sent free to every household in the
commonwealth. This gazette will
contain a minute record of every Off.
cial act of the government during the
preceding three months together with
suggestions and such other informa.
ton as may be deemed for the public
good.
Here we have q very radical depar.
u from custom in state government.
1t is a sort of ''commission FORM on
an elaborate scale and its friends say
it will simplify administration, elm.
mate the possibility of graft and do
away with the political boss. The in.
novation will be watched with interest,
for it Is the first serious attempt to
break away from the time.honored
forms of state government. That it is
revolutionary in character is patent
on its face and whether it is a wise
departure from established methods is
more than doubtful,

will succeed undoubtedly, but there
are many who will find themselves

who sits still and awaits only for op-
