Madame Sherry" at Colfax

Perhaps the best attraction booked
at the Ridgeway theater at Colfax for
this season and one of the best be-
fore the public is the musical comedy,
Madame Sherry" which comes
Thursday evening, December %.
Madame Sherry" was the musical
comedy rage of New York last sea-
son. Stealing into the metropolis
quietly late in August, the piece
scored sensationally, and attracted
Overlooking audiences to every per-
formance for nearly a year. The
newspaper praise elected by the
piece was quite as phenomenal as the
box office success. Woods, Frazee
and Lederer are responsible for the
production, the book being by Otto
Hauerbach and the music by Karl
Hoschna.
Every New York critic joined In
enthusiastically praising the music
and comedy merits of Madame
Sherry" These lines are from the
New York Herald: at was well
coined with laughter and applause.
1t rivals The Merry Widow and is
one of the best musical shows seen
in New oYrk in oh, ever so long"
The Post said The audienc could
not help humming the score, and it
was heard in the cars and in the sub
way long after the curtain fell"
Seats will be on sale at Hamilton's
drug store the morning of December

ELECTRICITY AND GAS
WILL REDUCE COST
Interesting Experiments Are Now
Being Conducted at the state
College

Out in the country, electricity not
only moves interurban trains, but is
of actual use on the farm and in the
home. 1t runs wood saws, emery
wheels, grindstones, power drills,
corn shelters, grist mills and pumps.
A small, one-horsepower motor in the
cellar will operate an ice cream
freezer, a churn, bone cutter or a
cream separator. A utility motor of
one-twentieth of a horsepower can
be used in the kitchen for polishing
silver, running sewing machines, and
so on. An electric oven, waffle irons
heated by electricity, coasters, hot
plates, chatting dishes, electric irons,
and electric fans all are operated by
electricity, lessening the work in the
home, minimizing expenses, and ac-
complishing more.
On transcontinental railways, cleo
tricity is utilized for the movement
of passenger and freigh trains: fac
tories use it; cities use electricity for
the movement of traffic and for light
ing. In other words, the field for
electrical engineers is broad one.
Furthermore, there is enough I'M
developed waterpower in Washington
to turn every wheel in the state, and
leave a surplus to light the homes
and cook the food But before this
power can be used, the energy of
mountain streams and rivers must be
changed into electricity and trans
mitted to the place where it can be
used.
Another source of power lies in the
fact that the cheap Ignite Goals
which underly large areas of West
ern Washington soon will find a mar
ket in the producer-gas plants and
thus become one of the chief sources
of power in the state In the engi-
neering laboratories of the State Col
lege experiments are being made with
these Goals, the purpose of which is
to discover the best means of extract
ing the tar and of preparing the gas
for use in gas engines This problem
successfully solved, means that the
gas engine will supplant many steam
plants and materially reduce the cost
of power in small installations.
