Grace George.


Grace George who comes to the Key
lor Grand theatre soon is playing in
the cleverest play of the season.
Thimpson Buchanan, the author of "A
womans Way" handles the tale af
very true road in life delicately, logi-
cally and truthfully.
The pay tells the story of a rich
young society woman who loves, tights
and wins back her husband after they
have drifted apart because of too
much money and too few cares. He
imagines that he has fallen in love
with another woman-a rich and fas-
chatting widow. While automobiling
together they had met with an acct
dent. and the papers at the opening
of the play. are full of the scandal con-
corning the young millionaire and his
fair companion. Everyone, including
the families of the young wife and her
husband, expect a divorce. The hus-
band himself expects it because he
does not believe that his wife, Marion
Stanton, miss George) will continue
in the house after such scandal. Mar
ion, however, is not the conventional,
ordinary Wife-she is a young woman
of courage, independence and humor
She owes her husband and she be
Iieves that at heart he loves her His
ENHANCEMENT with the rich widow she
realizes is merely passing infatuation
born of loneliness. When her parents
come to take her away from the house
her husband she boldly confronts all
md announces her doctrine of COM
the old conventional wronged wife
she is an independent thinking being
"a woman of today-Who will settle
affairs that concerns her in her own
way. Therefore, to the amazement
his family, she invites Mrs. Bakemore,
the other woman, to her house.
The second and third acts dea with
what happens when Mrs. Blakemere
arrives to meet not only Marion and
her husband, but all the members of
the two families. The cOmpiica tiOns
which ensue are rich with comedy
that never degenerates into farce In
the end, as she expected, Marion

the club has been everywhere recog-
nized as the best college Glee that
ever visited that vicinity. The club
also carries with it. trio consisting
of the piano, violin and cello. Alto
gether the repertoire of the season
has been one of the best possible, in

man Glee will be pleasingly brought to
a close, as is the custom of all the
past Glee clubs, with the home con-

Pierce SWearS
Moore Kicked

WASHINGTO., April 1O.-The name
of Ex-Governor Miles c. Moore of
Washington was again brought into the
Ballinger- Pinchot investigation at the
session yesterday. The testimony was
thar of Frank Pierce, first assistant
secretary of the Interior, who took the
stand yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Pierce began his service under
Secretary Garfield in November, 1907.
He detailed all of the various duties
of the secretary of the interior say
ing:
They are burdensome and mani
fold''
when. congress passes new legis-
lation," he said, land can't think Of
any one else to give the supervision
to, they turn it over to the interior
department"
Mr.. Pierce said he was himself
called upon daily to sign 900 to 1000
letters and documents. Many of these
are naturally prepared in the various
bureaus of the department.
At the time Mr.. Ballinger came into
office. the witness said, there were
10000 suspended cases in the gen.
eral office Congress on March 4 1909
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1910-04-11

had appropriated 100000 to bring
the work of the land office up to
date.
Mr.. Ballinger announced the inten-
ton of accomplishing this work, if
possible.
In May, 1909, Mr.. Pierce said, ex-
Governor Miles Moore of Washington
came to see Secretary Ballinger.
THE secretary let ME in and said
he had been consulted with reference
to the Cunningham claims while ne
was out of the government service
and he wanted me to act on all mat
tiers connected with that case. /
talked with Governor Moore about the
cases.
He complained of the delay in act
ing upon the claims. | sent for Mr..
Finney, assistant to the secretary, who
in turn, sent for CLAWS, and we three
discussed the cases in detail. That
was the only time I ever talked with
CLAWS. The next day l told Governor
Moore that a prima facie case appear
ed in the record and he could not have
his patents. Mr.. Moore was very much
chagrined and put out. He wrote TO
Secretary Ballinger that | had prov
ed a disappointment and that ne was
going home with a message that
would give scant comfort to his as
sociates. At this time CLAWS had pos

ningham journal"

Vertrees, has Secretary Ballinger at

ton or control Of the case or attempt

States. On that day Uncle Sam will
begin numbering of his children in
preparation for the 18th census He
estimates that he has a family of
90,000.000 men, women and children,
and he already has employed and will
tors considerably greater than the
standing army.
The enumeration will cover all of
the 40 states and two territories of
the union proper and also Hawaii and
Porto Rico, Alaska, the Philippine ISL
ands and Guam will not be included
as special arrangements are made for
numbering the people of those depen-
denotes
Under the statutes governing the
work, the entire enumeration must be
completed within a month, and in
the cities the work is limited to 10
days. 1t is expected that some of the
returns from cities will be received as
early as the first week in June, but the
exact population of the entire eoun-
try will not be determined before
September.
The inquiry will comprise three
principal branches; population, agri-
culture and mining and manufactur
ing The questions will cover the
acreage, the value and the product
of farms, including an especial enum-
Grafton of animals, as it will the cap
ital investigated, the value of products
and the number of employees of min
ing and manufacturing plants.
The mere getting of the information
will cost the government the pretty
sum of $5,500,000. Of this amount,
$4,50O,000 will be paid to enumerators
and the remaining million to supervis
ors With few exceptions. the enum-
orators will be paid on the basis of
the work done In the country the
remuneration will be from 20 to so
cents for each farm reported while
the pay for names will range from 2
to 4 cents. The districts will aver

s. s. s. SUMMER SCHOOL PIC
MO

The picnic for the GUNNER
school students held last Fri
day afternoon at Island Park
was a jolly success. About
eighty students and faculty
members attended.
A girls base ball game was
the first event of the "track
meet" which was the special
form of entertainment. Deputy
Supt. Hankins b1avely accept
ed the office of umpire. He
seemed to realize the risk he
was taking but no one else ap-
peared to have the requisite
amount OF courage for the task.
The players manifested special
skill in striking the ball.
After bounteous supper
which seemed to be greatly re-
lished, several contests were
enjoyed. The fifty yard dash
was run in a classy manner,
and no hurdles were broken in
the hurdle race. The "cou.inu-
Gus glum" seemed to excite as
much merriment among the
spectators as h e running
broad smile" All contestants
exhibited so much ability that
the judges, Mrs. F. E. Smith,
Prof. Stanford of the Moorhead
Normal and Prof. Bergman of
the Agricultural College, ac-
knowledged that it was with
difficulty that they could reach
their decisions. The winners
seemed to appreciate the ap-
propriate prizes presented.
Everybody went home happy,
except the umpire.

Vegetables Development.

Cabbage, in its many varieties, has
been developed from a single wild
growth called Brasica Oleracea,
which in its wild state is very remote
IN appearance from our cabbage.
Kale, caulifower and collards come
from the same origin. The principal
cultivated varieties of all these are
known to have existed as far back
as the sixteenth century. Cabbage.
however, is an infant compared to
lettuce, though why a man would take
to lettuce first when he could have
cabbage or both Just as we'll, seems
singular.
