Organization. In Oakland, Cal.
With Detroit theatergoers just be-
ginning to know and appreciate her
exceptional ability, Miss Muriel Hope,
OF the Bonstelle Stock Co., In the Gar
rick theater, sewers her connection
with that organization this week to
accept the position of leading woman
with the Liberty Theater Stock Co., In
Oakland, Cal.
In both the current production OF
"A Woman's Way" and last weeks
performance of ''The White Sister,
Miss Hope was cast for rather I'M
pleasant feminine roles and had hoped
before the engagement of the Bon
stelle company closed In Detroit to
have parts In the productions to be
given by the company that would
present her in more appealing char
acters.
AS the countess In The White
Sister and 'Puss Blakemore in A
dark, villainess type, and, OF course,
the audiences do not like the charac-
tiers that interfere with the happiness
of the heroine and I do not blame
EN-" said Miss Hope, as she referred
regretfully to her departure from De-
troit so soon after coming here. Il
liked Detroit when l was here last
winter with Arnold DAILY and was
charmed to come to the city again,
but this offer from California Is so
alluring that 1t would be foolish for
me not to accept. 1t Is rather curious
that the opening play there will
probably be A Woman's Way when
| will play Marian, Miss Georges orig
inal part, and some one else can have
the pleasure Of doing 'Puss.'"
Miss Hope, whose peculiarly must
cal voice and clear enunciation at
tracted the attention of New York
theatergoers as 1t did that of De-
troiters when she was leading woman
for Mr.. DAILY, Is a Connecticut girl,
but has spent most of her life abroad.
She had wide experience on the
French, German and English stage
before returning to America about
two years ago to play leads for Mr..
DAILY. She is still in her early TWEEN

MUST BUY JUICE
FROM THE CITY

The Northern Pacific may have
a franchise for a pole line on
Railroad avenue to get electric
current to its new oil tanks so the
oil can be pumped but as soon
as the city orders it must buy
power from the city instead of the
T. r. & P. company.
Such was the agreement enter
ed into between the city commits
sion and Judge Reid for the COM
pany.
The N. P. now has an eight year
contract with the T. r. & p. COM
pany to buy all its electric Juice
from them. This agreement will
have to be abrogated in a couple
of years when the city gets its

Most of the big monoplanes are
fast machines. They offer little
resistance to the air. and are ex-
|cellent for short flights.

age in model, as the upper sur
face tends to hold the machine
upright, providing the weight is
correctly distributed otherwise.
At any rate you will want to
add a biplane to your school of
filters, and l am going to tell you
how to make it.
In the construction of the model
you can use smaller sticks even
than you used in your mono
planes, stick an eighth of an
inch around being plenty thick
enough.
The wing ribs can be made of
strips of bamboo or rattan, bent
between the fingers. The wings
are better made of silk, although
tissue paper can be used. Have
tucks made for ribs, just as you
made the ribs for the Demoiselle
monoplane. Sew up your wings,
run the ribs and stays through,
and tie them where they cross.
Better use wire for tying the cor
ners, and twist it up tight with
pair of pliers. Be sure both wings
are made the came size and that
they balance at their central
point.
Cut the upright sticks, a and
b, the sticks (a) being four and
a half inches long and the sticks
CD eight inches long. Fasten
these so that the planes are held
four inches apart, and be careful
that they are perfectly parallel
to eacn other. The sticks b, you
will notice, stick three and a.
half inches down below the lower
wings, this being necessary to
raise the propeller clear from the
ground on alighting, saving it
from damage. This is one of the
strong points of the biplane. The
stick (b) are set seven inches
from each end, and as the wings
are FL inches long they are seven
inches apart.
AT central point between the
two wing surfaces, attach two
sticks (c), each eleven inches long
and projecting out in front. From

ed to think their crops would burn
up unless they had a miners inch of
water to the acre. Now they are rails
ing crops on the same ground that
are worth about four times as much
with one-fourth the water formerly
used. They are learning that cult
walton takes the place of irrigation
to a large extent.
"The demonstration farms estab-
lished in former years have been
maintained. These have been of great
value the past year in showing
among other things-the benefits to
be derived from the use of scanty
water supplies on small field farms
in connection with dry farming. At
the Cheyenne farm during the past
season "a bushels of oats were rails
ed per acre with the application Of
only inches of irrigation water
while the crop grown without irri-
cation was practically a failure. AL
falfa yielded 4.SO5 pounds of hay
per acre with the application of only
1873 inches, while the unirrigated
field yielded only So pounds. Beard
less barley, with the application of
81 inches of water yielded 81 bush
els per acre; that unirrigated and
raised on summer fallowed ground
Welded only two and one-half bush
els. AT Gooding, Idaho, IS TINS

land which received only 1 inches Of
inches of irrigation water These
results show what can be done with
limited supply of water when prom
pity applied
"The need of investigating the
question wshich arise in connection
with the use of water in irrigation
is so keenly felt by the people of the
west that several western states are
now cooperating with the depart
ment for the prosecution Of these
studies For years the states of Cal
ifornia and Utah have given dollar
for dollar in carrying on this work.
The states of Idaho and Wyoming are
likewise contributing considerable
sums for the cooperative investiga-
ton of problems peculiar to those
states. In time it is expected that
many other states will enter into the
cooperative arrangements with the
department for the investigation Of
irrigation problenms."
