Senator Frye Of Maine. who is an ar

had it all arranged, after having call
ed into counsel a reliable fish dealer
and a trustworthy expressman, that a
box of trout should arrive every other
day at Senator Frye's home to indi-
cate the success with which they were
casting the fly.
The plan worked beautifully-"of
course we caught some, and some we
didn't'-but the expressman was fair
ly regular in the weight Of fish for

about the same from day to day. All
went well until one day a dispatch
came from the Frye domicile:

There was a busy time with the

had got his orders mixed, and instead

was built by an association of wealthy
men and was the nearest approach to
a national theatre that America has
known, will next season be devoted to
commercial productions. The edifice,
although among the most beautiful
OF the worlds playhouses, was found
sadly lacking in tcoustic properties,
hence untitled to the realization of the
ambitious ideals of its founders. But
while the building is abandoned, the

that a new New Theatre will be built
to take it's place, to the end that dra-
matte art, untainted of commerce, may
have a refuge in the land. A plot In
West Forty-fourth stree, 1t is under

tiful architecturally as its ill-starred
predecessor, and which will be con-

will be done at the expense or the
company, every land owner who wish
es will reap the benefit of the best
horticulturist experience. Two cars
of trees bought by the homemakers
were received last week and more
will soon follow. Every place pre-
sents busy aspect and good result:
are assured. This speaks very wei
for the management of the compan!
and shows that they wish to deal fair

made now in the selection and plant

ESTABLISH CAMPS
FOR FOREST RANGERS

To conserve the SHOWS of the Blue
mountains, in the wenaha forest re-
serve. says the walla Walla Union,
the government forestry bureau is
planning to treat" thousands of acres
with shrubbery and trees this sum-
mer. According to an announcement
that has just been made public,
camps are already being established
where forces of government rangers
and assistants will be quartered this
summer to do the work.
The sheep ranges vacated year
ago as a preliminary to this policy,
will be planted to trees, shrubs and
the dormant springs will be developed.
slopes where sources of water have
been cut off in the past will be fenced
to prevent the destruction of the new
ly created watershed.
This is n result of the falling Off
in volume of the waters of the streams
of the valley. Walla Walla river, Mill
creek, Touchet river. and other
streams have fallen off half within the
last two decades, according to fig
ures made public, and it is to bring
these streams back to their normal
flow that this move is to be under
taken. More water has been steadily
demanded by irrigation OF lands in the
valleys through which the streams
| flow, and petitions sent to the govern
ment have been promptly noticed and
complied with
This will give double the water sup
/ ply during the summer, it is believed
when the treatment of the mountain
| forests and watersheds is completed
The SHOWS of the winter. instead OF
melting with a rush in early spring
will be protected during that period
and the water saved until midsum'
mer when it is really needed. Resi-
dents of the mountains, and cattle
men and sheep men who use th'
range, will be asked to cooperate, ant
all have expressed their willingness tC
do so
