The Big Noise.

Imagine an immense fight of marble
steps, twelve feet high, extending from
the footlights, clear up to the borders
and filed with colossal cosmopolitan
chorus clad in costly costumes" with six
Tive wire" end men, generating gigan-
tic grins, giggles and gales of glee."
That would be some" minstrel show,
wouldn't it?
Following that. an original two act
comic opera; written, composed, sung
and acted by the very cream of our local
talent.
q comedy vehicle that will positively
exceed the speed limit
That's the combination you will see
when the fuse is lighted for the big noise.
Rehearsals are being held each evening
at the Y. Nj. c. A. Hall and the enthusi-
asm of the big chorus promises a fine per-
formance.
Last years show was great, but this
is "a whale. AT The Colonial, two bic

SPOKANE. Wash. March Horace
S. Mack, formerly of New York. now

Spokane, declares that hydrocyanic
acid. formed by cyanogen gas, of
which astronomers say the tale of
Halley's comet is composed. united
with the hydrogen of this planets at
mOSphere, Is not deadly unless taken
internally. Breathing its fumes, he
adds, suspends animation only, and
in this connection he recites per
sonal experience in a New FORK lal-
ratory, While making an an9lysis he
accidentally inhaled a small quantity
of hydro-cyanic acid and dropped to
the door, aud, though fully conscious,
was unable to move or speak for
more than two weeks. The coroner
who made the examination declared
the man to be dead and ordered the
body sent to an undertaking estah-
lishment to prepare ii for burial. One
of the chemists employed in the lab
ra tory said II was a case of suspended
animation and after much pleading
with the coroner he was permitted
to take the body. Following several
experiments Mr.. Mack was revived
and restored, Is days later He Is in
good health today

because the commission had exceeded
its authority. One of the orders re-
quired the Northern Pacific railroad
to join with competing roads 10 es-
tablish through and joint rates from
the east to Puget sound points via
Portland. The other required the
Delaware. Lackawanna & Western
railroad to grant physical connection
with the Railway valley railroad at
Summit, N. ].
The court held that the Northern
Pacific already maintained a "satis-
factory or reasonable route from the
east to Puget sound points and as
long az such a route was in existence
the commission could not require the
road to Join in another route. The
court took the position that the cli-
mate, scenery and desire to visit
along the routes south Of the North
ern Pacific did not make the latter's
route unsatisfactory or unreasona-
ble," and to hold otherwise would be
to give artificial meaning to the
words of statutes

In the other case it was held that the

Roosevelt Has Scheme to Restock
American Continent With
Game, Is the Report.

LONDON, March when former
President Roosevelt returns home he
will take with him "a scheme for the
establishing in the far west and south
west great national game preserves

mails which have afforded him such
fine sport during his African trip. Mr..
Roosevelt Is practical man and has

He has found many antelopes that he

western deserts where there Is no
game at all. and which are useless for

pose. He has found number of deer
and goats which would thrive in the
mountain sections and I'm fact there is
hardly waste place on the North
American continent for which Mr..
Roosevelt has not found some fine
game animal in his African travels.
HE Is confident that the giraffe
would do particularly well in some
parts of Colorado and as far south rs

CEREMONIES FOR TETON
Formal Opening of Canal Near
North Yakima Is Planned by
Organizations.

Formal opening of the Tieton irri-
cation project when the water rs
turned into the canal in May for tho
irrigation of lands in Unit No. is
desired by the governing board Of the
Yakima Commercial club and officers
Of the Tieton Water Users association
and will be taken up by them with
the officials of the United States re.
ciamation service.
The TETON canal is the first govern
nent-constructed canal to be com
pieted in the state of Washington. The
government owns a complete irriga-
ton system, the Sunnyside, but this
was originally built by a corporation
and was bought bv the reclamation
service
Secretary Warwick Of the Tieton
Water Users association in speaking
about the feasibility of formal open
ing. said on Monday:
II believe that formal opening OF
the Tieton project would attract much
attention over the entire country and
that it would indicate the progress
made by the reclamation service in
the state. I feel certain the trustees
in arranging program for formal
opening when water is turned into the
canal in May"
President Lemon of the Yakima
Commercial club asked the publicity
committee. of which S. Van Vliet IS
chairman, to take up the subject with
the reclamation service and advise
with them as to the feasibility of tho
plan. The plan is to have the formal
ceremonies at the outlet of the Tieton
tunnel, where the first laterals started
and the water energies after its flow
down the concrete hume in the Tietor
canyon.
