A Communication
To My TRENDS

To My FRIENDS:-
 Having recently returned from trip to Oregon, and having short time age purchased tract of orchard lands at Rose burg, Oregon, I went to see it and am pleased to say that 1 found every thing much better than had antici- pated.
 interviewed several Of the owners of bearing orchards and found them sat. isfed and enthusiastic over their bus mess. One gentleman told me he would net over S5,OOO on ten.acre pear orchard this year and refused to con. slider an offer of 5000 per acre.
 In my judgment there is no question but that those who invest in these choice orchard lands now will make 9 safe and profitable investment.
 As we all know, the people of Alaska have been offered investments which would not bear investigation, so bear ing this in mind l made as thorough an investigation as l could and am sat isfed that the company and the lands they are selling are worthy and re-. liable.
 The scenery and climate are grand, and in the vicinity of Roseburg would be an ideal place for home.
 will be pleased to give any further information that ] can to anyone who is contemplating an investment.
 The company's representative, MT. A. L. Lovelace, is stopping at the Occi- dental hotel, Juneau, and will remain only a few days longer. Those who are interested should see or phone him at once. Yours truly,

CRANE IS FITTED
WITH A NEW PLAY
~. S. Minister Bedloe" Is
Latest Work of George
AIDE.

William H. Crane, one of America
foremost comedians, comes to the Ma
tional Theater tomorrow evening IN
~. S. Minister Bedloe," a comedy by
George AIDE, generally known as the
fabler of Indiana"
Mr.. Ade has already given Mr.. Crane
one successful comedy-"Father and
the Boys"
Col. Jackson Bedloe-that Is the name
of the character Mr.. Crane assumes in
this piece-is the owner and editor of a
newspaper in a small town somewhere
in the United States. AS reward Tor
long service, his party has given him an
appointment as minister to Cartbay,
republic somewhere to the south. The
colonel has accepted the honor, partly
because he wants a rest at the public S
expense, partly because he doesn't know
what he Is going up against" and
partly because his wife, who has taken
a travel course in the Chautauqua,
wants to visit foreign parts.
When he arrives at his post, Caribay
is smOldering and the colonel. being a
hustling American, is bored to death.
The annual insurrection comes along in
due course, however, and the colonel
finds that 1t isn't such a slow place after
all To complete the situation, youth
full friend of his gets mixed up in the
rebellion as a tilibuster and stands a
very good chance of being stood up
against wall and shot. How to re-
main neutral, as a good American min
lister ought, and at the~ame time res
cue his young friend-that is the prob
lem that ConfrOnts the colonel and Mr..
AIDE shows in his play how he solves II.
Most of the scenes are laid in the
tropics and are picturesque enough for
one Of Mr.. AIDES most successful mu-
