The Grand Friday and Saturday.

An excellent program will be pre-
sented for the balance of the week
and was well appreciated by two weh
filled houses at both performances
last evening.
Jack Irwin & Co. assisted by Marie
Swain, in "The Man from the North"
made good with the audience at both
performances.
The Leighs in dainty musical and
juggling act, is one of the best that
have appeared here.
Toney Regini, singing comedian. in
comedy songs and parodies had the
audience in good humor from start to
finish of his act
Professor Horn and his troupe of
dogs and monkeys, and judging from
the crowd both young and old that
was on hand at the Grand, they all
knew that there was going to be
something extra in store for them.
Prof. Horn gave a performance last
night that lasted half an hour and it
is hard telling who had the most fun,
the audience or the monkeys, but
judging from the audience they got
their moneys worth and went away
well satisfied. Besides the vaudeville

UP ON DESCHUTES LAND

of the time limit for proving up"
on their irrigated tracts purchased
three years ago, more than 300 fami-
lies are expected to move upon their
land under the segregation of the

adjacent to Bend. The special reas-
on for this heavy immigration is the
ruling of the state land board which
requires settlers who bought their
land under the provisions of the first
contract issued by the Carey Act COM
pany, to take up their residence and
make proof on the land before this

ORCHESTRA TOO CLASSICAL.
Seattlc's Mayor Says People in Parks
Want Popular Airs.

Seattle.-Mayor Hiram Gill says
that he is opposed to the contract en-
tered into between the park board and
the symphony orchestra for music in
the parks. The contract was made
before the park board was reorgan-
ized and the reorganized board will
probably cancel the contract. Mayor
Gill said today:
"The people want popular music,
for the park crowd is lighthearted
and free"
The symphony orchestra is strictly
union. but a majority of the union
members resent the importation of a
leader from New York. The union
offers the services of a brass band
for park music and Mayor Gill during
the campaign promised that the
unions wishes should be carried out.

A commercial traveller told Of a man

wich. The man opened his grip and
took out hot water bag. 'He got a
sympathetic porter" the commercial
man continues, Ito fill the water bag
with boiling water, and then he opened
up his lunch basket, took out piece
of fried steak and warmed it up on the
water bag. You talk about your light
housekeeping! Then after he had
warmed the steak he cut it all up with
a pair Of scissors and fed it to himself
with a pair of sugar tongs, because he
would not take a chance with fork
going around a curve. But his finish
was a limit. After he had eaten the
steak he unscrewed the stopper Of the
water bag and poured himself out a
cup Of hot coffee. He had the grounds
in the bag all the time"

A Custom of the Balkans.

He or she who enters house for the

for the whole twelvemonth. This be-
lief gives rise to curious observance.

old picks up stone token Of strength)

He also brings with him some grains
Of salt, which he casts into the flames,
and then, squatting by the fireside,
wishes his hosts "a prosperous year,
plentiful crop and many blessings"
Then as the grains Of salt burst and
crackle in the fire he utters the follow
ing quaint formula: Gas I am sitting,

eggs. AS this salt splits, even so may
split the eggs Of the clucking hen and

Dear NUM- am sorry that John
ny won't be able to come to school to-
day. He has gone with his father to
act as timekeeper. The sum you gave
Johnny last night was, If the road is

average rate of progress being three
and three-quarter miles per hour?
Johnny amt a man yet, so as dads
the only man in this house he had to
go. They started at o'clock this
morning, and dad said he'd finish the
sum in one day if he could manage it,
though it would mean hard going.
Dear mum, next time you want any
information please make it woman
