Los Angeles
Justly Indignant
A Log Angeles dispatch says:

A Loz Angeles dispatch says:
Los Angeles shippers of perishable
products are complaining of rates
from this city to Arizona points.
They say the railroad discriminates
against this city 10 favor of others,
notably Fl Paso, Texas, end that Ii
Paso is OBJ aiming much Arizona trade
that should come to Los Angeles.
FL Paso shippers, it is stated, are
enabled to ship cheaper to Arizona,
and as they are allowed to ship cars
containing only 5000 pounds, while
the minimum weight allowed Los
Angelica shippers is 26,70O pounds, it
is possible for Ell Paso shippers to
send several carloads of produce to
Arizona points while Los Angeles
shippers are sending one carload.
The ability to supply Arizona con-
sumers more frequently than Los
Angeles shippers can give Ell Paso
dealers q great advantage and rem
ders successful competition by Los
Angeles extremely difficult.
Produce shippers OF this city also
say they are unfairly treated in the
matter OF refrigerstors. Los Angeles
shippers are not lowed to furnish
their own ice for their cars, but must
pay the railroad $55 a car refriger-
stor charges. Ell Psso shippers, on
on the other hand, may furnish their
own ice, and therefore can ice their
products at a cost of about IS q car, it
is reported, or $50 less than it costs
clippers in this city.

ALFRED IS ALL
To THE CANDY

Alfred the First is a chimpanZee
with an almost human brain, that
is doing all kinds of stunts at the
Pantages theater this week, and on
Sunday amazed large audiences
with his marvellous intelligence.
He is a grotesque little figure as
he appears in full evening dress,
and appears to have human ap-
probation of the applause that
greets his performances. At the
dining table he handles his knife
and fork after approved methods
and at the conclusion of the meal
lights and smokes cigarette,
which he puffs with evident relish.
Delmar and Delmar are sensa-
tional and daring equilibrists and
introduce new features in their act.
Muriel Window is charming
musical comedy star and possesses
a pleasing voice which she uses
with effect She was recently the
star in the Miss Cutie company OF
New York and England.
Edwin Keough and Helen Mel
son presented the latters mythical
caprice, "A Bit of Barney" which
was well received. The stage set
ting in this was magnificent, a
stream of water and falls being Civ
Ell most natural effect by means

LADY BETTY A
SMART MONKEY

Miss May Orletta and Mr.. Fred
Taylor in THE Butterfly and the
Prince come in for the most SER
ious attention at the Washington
this week. Both artists are good
to look upon. They are possessed
of exceptionally good voices, So
prano and tenor, and in addition
have that rare quality, magnetic
personality.
Lady Betty" proved a most re-
markable ape. She gave evidences
of the keenest intelligenc and thor
ough understanding of things, and
showed remarkable reasoning
power. She dresses and undresses
herself; goes to bed; sews like a
lady, skates, rides a bicycle up and
down an incline and over obstacles
and does other remarkable stunts.
Scott and Wilson, comedy aero
bats and gymnasts, get lot of run
out of their act by having one of
the team sitting in the audience
dressed as a rube.
T. Nelson Downs, well and fav-
orably known here, kept up run
ming fire of witty comment as he
went through his splendid coin
manipulating act. Dewitt Young
and sister in "The College Boy jug
gler' also have an interesting act.
Mr.. Young juggles about every
thing it seems possible to juggle,
and his dainty sister gives an ex-
hibition of boomerang throwing.

IF YOU WANT TO
LAUGH, SEE S|MMS

If you want to laugh until you
have pain in your side, don't miss
seeing Willard Simms in Film
ders' Furnished Flat" at the Or
pheum this week. Mr. Simms
isn't featured as the top liner of
the show, but as far as the laugh
end goes he is certainly the ne plus
ultra. He gives an imitation of a
man papering room. And If you
don't laugh at each one of the new
predicaments in which he finds
himself it will be because you have
already died laughing.
Laughs are plentiful on the bill
this week, every number having a
profusion of laughs in it. Augusta
Close, who tops the bill in piano
logue, has a musical talking skit
which is full of humor and melody.
Mr.. and Mrs. Franklin Colby in
"Kimo," present mingling of
mirth and music. Arthur Bowen,
singing cartoonist, can really sing,
and he also knows how to bring
the laughs with his cartooning.
Spissell Bros. & Co. present a
mirthsome pantomime, and get
their full share of laughs, while
Thurber & Madison, who are not
on the programs, through a mis-
take, have in "A Shopping Tour
one of the funniest little burlesque
skits seen here in a long time.

CAMEO KIRBY"
WELL RECEIVED

A packed house was well enter
tanned by the Baker company's pre-
sentation of the Booth Harrington
play, Cameo Kirby" last night.
The play is well staged and the
company handles it capably. Mr..
Underwood has a happy medium in
Cameo Kirby, the Mississippi river
gambler. The comedy part, Lar
kin Bunce, is handled very we'll in
deed by James Corrigan.
Frances Slosson as the sister of
Tom Randall, handles her part eff
fectively. She is placed in the diff
ficult position of falling in love
with the man who is supposed to
have caused the death of her
father.
The little chap who takes the
part of The General" handles his
lines very cleverly. His name is
not given on the program, but it is
understood that he is licol boy.
