The Daily World is in receipt of
a letter from the main office in Cali
fornia of Macdonald & Sons. who
maintained a branch office in this
city last year. The letter states as
follows:
Indirectly we hear that there is
some slight dissatisfaction among
some parties in Wenatchee with
whom our firm did more or less busi-
ness the past season, because our
Mr.. ]. w. w. Macdonald left Wenat-
chez at short notice. The fact is that
Mr.. Macdonald was needed in the
south on business and since all I'M
settled matters in Wenatchee could
be attend TO from our main office, he
left as soon as possible.
1--WE take this means Of assuring
everyone that accounts are receiving
our immediate attention. Payments
will be made by check on the First
National Bank Of Wenatchee, where
we maintain an ample balance.

but intend and expect to be with you
many seasons"

scribed as strong in comedy posi-
bilities, with more than average dra-
matte work intermingled. Mr.. But
Ter as the sheriff, and Mr.. Bell as
the pilgrim, are in the best parts
they have ever played here, AMI the
other members each have parts that
tax their dramatic abilities to the
utmost. The climax to the second act
is described. as one of the cleverest
things ever staged, being the dupli-
cate for the walnut scene in the
Girl of Eagle Ranch" presented by
this company here this summer.
When Bell boosts any particular
play in his repertoire, the theatre
ging public has learned to listen to
him, and If he gives the play he
promises tonight, his record will be
broken.
