ing the glory of the old days Of the
Franciscans, cement walls that look
like the ancient adobe. but are
much more enduring, and smooth
cement floors.
This little station Is entirely sur
rounded, save on the railway side,
by thriving orange trees, whose
heavy masses of dark green, lighted
by deep globes of lustrous yellow,
makes the picturesque building
seem more like woodland sanctu-
airy or the shrine of an ancient
dryad than a mere prosaic railway
station.
Ye who know only the cheerless

" So NILES FROM
BOSTON, NEXT

Little Johnny Jones will be the
Sunday matinee and night attrac-
tion at the Spokane theater, closing
the week with this popular musical
Cohan show. Starting Monday
night the Baker Stock company
will offer for presentation another
popular play, $50 Miles From Bos-
ton"
The Bakeronians have demon
strated that they are equally clever
in farce as well as the serious pro-
auctions. The story of the misled
boy, who gets into trouble and de-
ponds upon his sister to get him
out of it, forms the point of the
tale, but of course there is the Har-
ward baseball player, who loves
her. and the rival who stoops to
tricks that are low in his endeavor
to win her, besides the village
characters. many and amusing.
The plot of $50 Miles From Bos-
ton" centers around the theft OF
$500 from the postoffice by Jed
Woods, brother of the postmis-
tress Sadie miss Slosson). He
loses the money on ball game
won by Saddles sweetheart. Joe
Westcott (Henry Stockbridge), and
to cover up the shortage goes to
Dan Harrigan, Joe's rival. Dave
works through Jed to gain Sadie,
who refuses to give up her sweet
heart, the trouble being cleared up
by the burning of the postoffice
and the magnanimity of Tim Har-
rigan, Dawes father.
"Harrigan," waltz With Me-"
"Jack and JILL" my Small Town
GAL" "Ain't It Awful" and Boys
Who Fight the Flames" are among
the songs that George IN. Cohan
has written for this rural musical
play. It is an interesting story OF
New England, and the scenes are
laid in the quiet town Of Brook
field. Mass, with the postoffice,
the public square and the ball
grounds as the scenes Of some
amusing Incidents. The engage.
ment will consist of the usual mat.

closing with the following Sunday
