A MOTHER movement now shaping has
To do with the theater ticket specu-
lator nuisance. which for many years has
been one of the outrageous denominations
of New York. There was a Straightout
trial of strength between the ticket specu-
lators and the public about two years ago.
when a measure was introduced by a po-
litically independent alderman placing a
prohibitive license fee on the ticket specu-
lator's business. The spectators won.
The general public, usual in such mat
tiers. was not properly represented. If at
all. and the spectators were under
special political protection
The new method now in progress to-
ward getting rid of the spectators is not
political. Ii is a deliberate. out-and-out
plan on the part OF theatergoers to boy
colt all New York theaters that stand
for the presence OF the ticket spectators
in front of their theaters. 1t is not a
noisy movement But it looks like a de-
termned one. Ii is sufficiently determined

ARE RUSHING SPIRITS
Seven Steamers Want to Reach Shore
Before August Z.

New York, Aug. 3.-Laden with
wines, Italian bitters and cordials,
sherries and port wines from the he
rian peninsula and gins from the
Netherlands, seven steamers from
ports of southern Europe are making
all speed to arrive at this port before
August Z.
On that date reciprocal agreements
with Italy, Spain and Portugal and
the Netherlands will terminate and
higher tariffs on their products go
into effect.
Importers roughly estimate the
value of the wines and cordials now
in transit about 100000, on which
the duty will be between 100000
and 100000.
ut is safe to say" remarked one
of them, that the American won't
get much revenue from this class of
goods for the next six months. Chan

NEW STEAMER ON
0KAN0CAN
Trip Now Can Be Made by
Water to Falls on
the Lake.

Nelson, B. c., Aug. "a noted
event took place the past week in
the lower Okanogan, which forms
the central portion of the Similaka-
meen electoral district. This was no
less than the extension of naviga-
ton to Okanogan Falls at the foot of
Dog Lake, new steamer, the Kale-
den, being built by the c. P. R. to
ply on the Okanogan river and Dog
Lake between Penticton and Okano-
gan Falls.
The Kaleden is stern wheel
steamer of light draft, about 80 feet
in length, and carried 60 passengers
on her trial trip down the river,
which was pronounced great sue
cess by all on board.
The Okanogan river has recently
been improved for navigation pur-
poses and by this enterprise, on the
part of the c. P. R., Okanogan Falls,
which is one of the prettiest loca-
tons in the interior, is put in touch
with the outside towns and may now
be reached in comfort instead of by
the long dusty stage drive, which
was so long the only mode of travel.
Keremeos fruitgrowers are de-
lighted with the prospect of an ex-
cellent apple and peach crop, the lat
ter which is now being harvested
being about the best they have had.
Not only the quantity, but the quail
ity if of special note, and this year
the district will doubtless be heard
from at the apple shows in Vancou-
yer and Spokane.

BUTTER WILL co
HIGHER |
President of Elgin Board of
Trade Says the Prices
Will Soar.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-Consumers who
are looking for drop in the prices OF
some of the necessaries of life will
not get any drop in butter, according
to John Newman, president of the
Elgin board of trade. After the board
had increased the price cent pound
yesterday Mr. Newman said it was
his opinion that even higher prices
were coming before winter.
Butter will be at prices to exceed
anything in the last few years be-
fore the winter is we'll started" said
Mr.. Newman. The present dry
weather is the cause of this prospect
The talk of 50-cent butter, is ridicul-
Gus. however,
The price was advanced from q to
% cents by the Elgin board. Many
of the members reported that past
ures in their regions were dry and
worthless and that farmers already
had begun to give their cows feed
that should be saved for winter.

Harry Colman, Well Known

Harry Colman, who spent year

cousin, Joseph Smith, were engaged

Colman was very we'll known here

every line are being attracted. Few
people realize that Immediately sur
rounding Kennewick is more than a
million acres of arid land which
when irrigated is capable of produc-
ing many millions of dollars worth
of products annually and support a
population equal to that of the state
today. That means business for the

Spokane, Portland & Seattle, the

WERE WELCOMED HOME
The Rev. ?. W. Luecke and Bride Given Pleasant Surprise by Members of
 German Lutheran Church.

Friday evening there was much joy among the members of the con- gregation of the German Lutheran church of Mena.
 Their pastor, the Rev. P. w. Luecke, who left Mena about the first of January for Chicago to be married, returned home with his bride on the afternoon train Thurs day. To show their appreciation of their pastor, and to welcome his wife into their midst, surprise ban quet was planned for Friday evening at the pleasant home of Mir. and Mrs. John Filming, 1120 Reeves avenue'
 When the Rev. and Mrs Luecke arrived in the city they were taken to the home of Mir. and Mrs. Pfin- ming, and soon after Mir. Luecke took hls wife for walk to give her a chance to see some of the attrac- tive features of Mena. Being just from frozen Chicago, they returned to the Pfinning home delighted with Mena and her climate, but they were amazed to find the house crowded with guests. After a friendly hand-shaking all around, with congratulations for the groom and best wishes for his pretty bride, the dining room was opened and a generous and elaborate feast was enjoyed.
 Mr. Luecke wss married in Chica- go January 4 to Miss Dorothea Kohn, daughter of the Rev. Theo Kohn, pastor of the St. Mathews Evangelical Lutheran church of that city. Until they can arrange to go to housekeeping they will be the guests of Mir. and Mrs. Filming.
