Express Opinions Regarding
Disposition of Cunningham
Claims in Alaska.

Clifford Pinchot. former chief OF the
forestry bureau. and Secretary Ballinger
of the Interior Department have opened
up their controversy again about the dis
position of public lands. and this time the
head of the Interior Department got to
the newspapers first. Saturday evening
he announced that in his annual report he
would recommend that the disposition OF
the Cunningham claims for valuable coal
patents in Alaska be taken from the juris-
dition Of the department and transferred
directly to the Court Of Appeals OF the
District of Columbia. while MI. Pinchot
had just prepared to launch. the fol-
lowing evening. letter to the President
expressing the fear that the department
would recommend the patenting OF the
claims, which he declares he believes are
fraudulent.
This letter was under date Of Novem-
Der Z, and In IT the former forester say
ut is unfortunately impossible to look
with confidence to the officials OF the IN
terror Department for an unbiased 1udg-
ment" in the matter, and declares further
that at Is clear that the protection OF
the public interest in these Alaskan coal
claims must depend directly upon the
President himself"

NEW YORK, November 14-surgeons
and physicians in New Jersey and IN New
York are unusually interested in the case
Of Roy S. PASCAL, a young and daring
motor cycle racer of Newark. who was
so seriously injured in a collision In a
race meet at the Velodrome board track,
in Newark, September 3, that his life
was despaired of for weeks. He lay un-
conscious for more than two weeks, and
tally unbalanced for another long period,
and there was fear that he would never
fully recover.
His mind gradually cleared up. however.
and then 1t was found that, while all his
external and internal injuries had appar-
emily hea ed. there was serious paralysis
of the left arm. which was due to an in

The Pinchot Letter.

The letter, which is also signed by MI.
Pinchot's brother, Amos Pinchot, says In
part:
1.-THE taking of testimony to determine
the validity of the Cunningham claims

recommendation of the Interior Depart
ment to patent or not to patent the
claims doubtless will be made before long.
There Is reason to apprehend that TINS

honest claims. This is not stated Tor the
purpose of having this committee con,
slider the question of the honesty or gooo
faith of these claims for the purpose
of decision or determination; 1t Is stated
solely that the committee may see tnat
no perjury could be committed by Gun
bingham, and that Mr.. Ballinger, by no
possibility, could have understood THESE
claims to be fraudulent for the reason
that, as a matter of fact. they were no'
fraudulent, but good and valid claims.
The evidence of all the claimants. except
one who Is dead, has been taken In the
Cunningham hearings, and is now on ME.
1t shows conclusively that none OF the
claimants entered into an agreement prior
to location or prior to the initiation OF
entry for consolidation OF their claims.

all the best comedy there is in the
number, and there is certainly
plenty of it.
A gymnastic feature of the bill
will be Mile. Nadje. who will intro
duce sensational novelty in the
line OF acrobatic and gymnastic
work. Mile. Nadie is said to be one
of the most perfectly formed women
on the stage, and this, combined
with her prettiness and youth,
makes her act one of the best of it's
kind.
Another feature that is sure to
please all will be William e. Whit
tie, who will present a ventrilouuist
novelty entitled, mine p. NJ. at the
White House" A point of special
interest about this feature is that
Mr.. Whittle bears remarkable
likeness to eX-PreSident Roosevelt,
a likeness which Mr.. White EN-
phasizes by the artful aid of the
makeup box.
A number that will be entertain
ing especially to children will be
the offering by Max York and his
trained dogs. Mr.. York has troupe
of five fox terriers and they are put
through a series of feats that is
quite remarkable, in fact, it seems
as though they do all but talk.
Newell and Noble will present a
very pretty and timely offering, in
Guiding selections on xylophones,
saXaphones and other novel instru-
ments. They render the various
selections with certain neatness
and finish which makes the act ex-
ceedingly attractive and pleasing.
Effie Pearson and J. Hunter VIII
son will present one of the neatest
singing and dancing acts of the sea
son. The act is gorgeouslv cos
tuned and both are excellent sing
ers as well as clever dancers.

AT THE THEATERS
At the Orpheum

Manager Muller has every reason
to expect big business at the Or
pheum during the coming week.
The bill which opens with the Sun
day matinee is strong one, with a
number of distinct novelties in the
list. Heading the bill comes Nellie
Nichols. pretty and vivacious lit
tie songstress coincidence. who has
the honor of being the only Grecian
comedienne in vaudeville today.
She has a most captivating pres
ence, magnetism to spare, and a
De selection of songs which she
gets over the footlights in unique
manner. When she made her debut
on the stage it was in the Sultan
of Sulu."
No more interesting playlet has
been offered at the Orpheum than
"Huckins' Run" which will be pre-
sented by the Walsh-Lynch COM
pany. 1t is a delightful little COM
edy, with few drastic attachments
and three original songs. 1t has
been highly praised. 1t couples fun
with a touch of pathos and deals
with the adventures of New York
east side boy who is maroOned in a
crossroads village.
Under the unique title of "AI
Whites Dancing Bugs" quartet of
as clever dancers as have been seen
here will be presented. The act is
a novel one, we'll staged and the
act can well be described as an
oddly.
A monologist of real merit will be
seen and heard in the person Of
Fred Watson. who has gained the
sObriquet of "The Student" on ac-
count of his dapper air and college
bred style.
Walter Stanton is an act entitled
"The Chanticleer." comes with an
other distinct novelty. He is the
inventor and patentee of the great
feathered costumes he wears when
PLAYING the part of the old rooster
and later as the nosey. talkative
poll parrot. The birds are lifelike
and the act is expected to prove d.
verting. Stanton was lately fea-
ture in the Australian production of
Jack and Jill" and before that was
prominent at the Drury Lane thea
ter. London.

At the Pantages

One of the feature attractions of
the season at the Pantages theater
will be the appearance of Ralph
Cummings with his company, pre-
senting The typewriter Girl" start
ing with the matinee Sunday, March
10. The act is described by several
of the eastern critics as the best
comedy in vaudeville. Mr.. Cum
mings is too well known in Spo-
kane to require much Introduction;
all that Spokane has to regret is
that he is not as well known here
as in the large eastern cities, where
his name is household word from
his long and successful career as a
stock company star.
Another act of repute is that OF
the Steiner Trio. billed as grotesque
comedy bar acrObats. and said to be
a scream of laughter from start to
finish. They present many new and
novel tricks of the bars and come
highly recommended by the eastern
agents. The following is criticism
from an eastern paper: THE
Steiner Trio are clever, very clever,
easily masters of their speciality;
strong, agile and alert. Like prac-
tical chemistry, acrobats are for the
eye and the hand. One cannot de-
scribe with pencil man wheeling
around horizontal bar and present
anything like a picture of the deX-
terity required-you must go and
see this act"
All II. Tyrrell. black face singing
comedian, billed as The man with
the kimono'-he has only to show
himself to start the fun and it is
safe to say that many a hearty
laugh will be the result of his mono
logue. Mr.. Tyrell is known from
coast to coast and he will without a
doubt be one of the hits of the bill.
The BandOlerO Singers-Spanish
Gypsy Quartet-are out of the ordi-
nary of the usual run of serenaders,
with a set of special scenery and
light effects: this should be one of
the most pleasing numbers on the
bill. Arnaut brothers, French mus
ical clowns, do some very clever
acrobatic work while playing vio-
Inns. mandolins and guitars, closing
the act with handsprings and cart
wheels to big hand. 1t is a big
scream. William d. ellison will rem
der popular selection and the Pan
tagescope will close the bill.

SHOW REMARKABLE
GROWTH

Othello is enjoying a
growth such as few cities
have ever known. Its inn
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-
tie 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 i'll quality Of both
the older fruit regions. Ger
tain it is that the Moses
Lake, Crab Creek and Big
Bend valleys, which con

the Yakima valley to the
south. The chemical analy-

OTHELLO AN INDUSTRI.
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 ID 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 its
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.

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.

OTllELLO became a city

STREETS BEING I'M

The Othello Improvement
Company is inaugurating
vast improvements to the
streets and public utilities.
Parking strips will lie be
tween the streets and the
sidewalks and their green
carpets of grass and their
friendly shade trees will con-

crowd the busy city daily.
But there is room for more
hotels and restaurants and
boarding houses, for those
