CURTIS TO SEE TAFT.
Will Confer With President on Depart
mental Affairs.

Senator Charles Curtis today signi-
fed his intention of going to Beverly
Mass, departing Friday, to confer with
President Taft on departmental mat
ters that may have to be settled be-
fore congress recOnvenes. These, ne
said. he did not care to discuss at this
time. He declared that no political
significance was attached to ms Trip.
though he would tell President Taft OF
the political situation in the state ano
section as he sees it.
When asked in reference to the situ-
alton in Kansas, the senator SAID tnat
he had visited several sections OF the
state while making speeches and that
while he had not talked politics he had
come into contact with men 1nformeo
as to the political situation and ielt
sure from what they had said that tne
entire Republican ticket woulo De
elected. ,,
Asked what he would tell the presi-
dent regarding the mild Endorsement
given him at the meeting OF the party
council in Topeka, Senator Gurus salo
that he would be sorry to say tnaI eIis
Endorsement was not as strong and
omen as II should have BEEN He de-
clared that he was glad to see the
county committees in many sections OF
the state now are indorsing the presl-
dent and he said that it would nave
been better had the party couhct, III :
dorsed the president in terms strone
and open, pledging him the support ol
the Republicans of Kansas in carry1ne
out the principles of the Republican
party.
senator Curtis regretted that In re-
rorfinp tI,e party council some of the
newspapermen present seemingly mis-
understood the object which he (Cur-
tis) desired to accomplish-to nave
the council proceed under the primary
election law instead of following tne
practice of the old convention system
He said in his opening remarks ina,
he plainly told the party council tbs
object of the primary law was to oe
aWav with the practices that hao
crown up under the convention sys-
tenn. and the law had provided JUS,
what should be done at the council. L
was not his purpose to prevent anyone
from making a speech. Senator Curtn
thought anyone who desired to make
speech should be given full opportunity
to do so.

today by order from Lawrence y.

Following closely on the sudden ca!l
for condition of national banks which
was made on September 2, and the
announcement of the comptroller tnat
in the future he would personally pass
on the application of banks which
wished to hold reserves, the shake up
among the examiners is taken as an
other indication of the determination
to enforce to the letter the provisions
of the national bank act.
learned was specially issued to meet
the assertion that the calls had been
made at such regular intervals that
bankers knew about when to expect
them and managed to arrange their
affairs accordingly.
The transfer of the 20 examiners
today may be the forerunner of 9TH
ers. The object of the changes, it was
said at the treasury department, is
to throw the examiners into fresh
fields. where periodical acquaintance
or possibility of influence is lacking

The Home Talent

Uncle Eli will be presented at
the |. Q. o. f. hall on the evening of
Thursday, March 81. The play,
which is a four act comedy drama of
rural life, is an exceptionally clever
one and in the hands Of the able cast
which has Deen selected will make an
unusually pleasant evenings entertain
ment. "Uncle Eli is the attraction
offered instead of Adam Bede, orator,
who was to have appeared here last
month as the closing number Of the
lecture course. All persons who pur-
chased tickets for the Bede attraction
are urged to present them at the Nc
Lean Book Store where they will be
exchanged for tickets good for the
performance of "Uncle Eli" and prop
er reservation made.
|, G. Hattabaugh, as "Uncle Eli"
has a part that is exactly suited to his
particular style Of impersonaton. The
part portrays big-hearted and broad
minded old country storekeeper, who
sees a blending of paihos and fun in
everything and is a man who has ideals
of his own and and sticks to them.
Mr.. Hattabaugh's Interpretation Of
the part is superb and his many ad-
mirers will see him at his best in
"Uncle Eli"
Mrs. H. V. Riggs, as "Aunt Han
nah, Ellis wife, is exceedingly we'll
cast and will give laughable and
truly typical rendition Of this clever
part.
Miss Harriet Shefer has a pretty
part as Dorothy" and will appear to
advantage Miss Georgia Greene has
a soubrette part that is the life OF the
play and promises to aid materially in
a correct presentation of the piece.
and will give it an artistic and highly
interesting reading. Frank Wheel
cr", Ellis son, one of the principals
will be played by Allen Mclean
'. whose ability in this line is well
known. J. A. Wilkinson, as JAS
per White coon always in hard
; luck, and Geo. d. Algie, as the vii
lage chief of police, have ridiculousl,
funny parts and will be worth whole
lot to the playgoer who loves ricl
comedy. Harold Harris, also has 9
: role with some comedy. Specialtie'
, will be presented between acts.

In speaking of the banquet many
were the compliments extended to
Landlord Tamblyn upon the excellent
menu provided and the manner of
serving. In dining room of limited
proportions over $50 people were fed
in less than two hours without hitch
or miscalculation. The serving was
done with military precision. To
serve the same number of people in a
city restaurant where ample room was
provided and unlimited help is no
small task and when a like number is
handled with the dispatch and man
ner that Manager Tamblyn of the I'm
perial used in caring for the crowd

ment to the ability of that gentleman
when it comes to catering.
During the evening session matters
of business were taken up and dis
cussed and report from Nelson Nc
Arthur, who represented the Grange
vile Union at the Lewiston meeting,
was listened to. Besides dealing with
the business of the meeting he was
lavish in his praise of the courteous
treatment received from the citizens
and business men Of the Gateway
city.
In speaking Of the entertainment
features of the day the free admittanct
for the women and children to the two
picture shows should not be overlook
ed. The usual excellent programs
were provided and no admittanc,
whatever was charged to the ladies
and children. The day was conclud
ed by big free dance held at th,
Armory hall and which proved very
popular.
The ladies were not to be outdon
and while the men were initiating
new members at the |. o. O. F hal
the ladies met at the Commercial
Club rooms and perfected the organic

The Spring Openings

Friday and Saturday were gala
days in the annals of the ladies of
Grangeville and surrounding country,
the occasion being the spring openings
of the LaMode and Vogue Millinery
parlors. Both places were appropri-
ately decorated for the occasion and on
display were fashions latest dictates in
the millinery line.
The LaMode parlors were prettily
decorated in harmonizing colors and
during the opening punch was served
by the Misses Mabel Pulse and Irene
Parsons, an appropriately decorated,
booth being arranged where the tired
shoppers could rest and enjoy the
refreshments. Many hats were on
display and among the exhibit being
a number of Partisan patterns.
The Vogue, which is located in the
balcony of the A. d F., showed the
effect Of artistic taste and here and
there were flowers and decorations
symbolic of Spring and the Easter
Spirit. No matter how fastidious the
taste of the shopper was here could be
found a style that was suitable. Dur.
ing the opening every lady who called
was given a cut flower as a souvenir
of the occasion.
