Home Talent Musical Comedy
THE PIERCE COUNTY FAIR


The Improvement League, at its
business meeting decided to put
on a home talent musical comedy
entitled The Pierce County Fair"
for the benefit of dining hall to be
built in the park, and hopes to clear
enough in the County Fair" to
make up the amount yet needed to
start building. This League has
previously done so much for the city
and with their unceasing energy
and ability they will dc much more.
They have arranged for the pro-
duction 10 be directed by the Book
Entertainment Company. This
company has made a business of
home talent entertainments for fif-
teen years and is the most success
full of it's kind in existence. The
instructor, Miss Olive Estelle Smith,
B. E., arrived on Monday and has
started rehearsals and has awakened
much enthusiasm. Miss Smith was
graduated from the National School
of Elocution and Oratory of Phila-
de1phia, Pa, and has received the
degree of Bachelor of Oratory. She
has been dean of the Elocution
department for three years in Kee
Mar College, Hagerstrom, Mary
land. With such an instructor and
the best talent of the town and
judging from the humorous charac-
ter sketches, catcy music and ar
tistic, graceful choruses, the Pierce
County Fair promises to be the
most successful a home talent ever
given in River Falls.
The League will appreciate every

the wonderful production of that

had been made in this section.
does not every sane man know
that Harvey County would be
the Whitman County of Oregon? ?
Is il not a certainty that in place
of seven or eight thousand people
in the Harvey and Malheur Val
leys we would have eight, ten or
a dozen times that many? To
deny this is to say that these
lands are not as good as the lands
of Eastern Washington, and
everybody that knows anything
about the subject knows there
are more acres and better acres
of wheat land here than in the
country north of us.
How,long will these people be
compelled to wait? How long
wlll the people of Oregon allow
the greatest valley in the state,
several of the greatest valleys
in the state, to lie like a disown-
ed and unworthy daughter? No
man can tell. no man can tell
how long the question, rs there
any railroad news?" is TO remain
unanswered for Interior Oregon.

The time is about here when
Portland should awaken to the
fact that this part of Oregon is in
Oregon and not in California. In
the past the trade of this part of
the state, both in merchandise
shipped in and live stock shipped
out, has gone largely to San Fran
cisco. A common complaint is that
Portland has neglected her own
and, no doubt, this is in a mea-
sure true but it need be no long
er true. Let the metropolis Of
Oregon get busy and give us a
square deal for no more loyal
Oregonians can be found in the
state than the people of Lake
county; but our merchants and
stockmen are no fools and are
bound to trade where they can
do the best-Chewaucan Press.

SCHOOL PICTURES SELECTED.

The teachers of the Public

following pictures to be purchas.
ed with the fund accruing from
the school entertainment.
The Fighting Temeraire Gin
colors) by Turner.
"Stratford on Avon" Tan arto-
type).
THE Lake" by Corat.
st. Anthony Of Padua" by
Murillo.
Sir Galahad" by Watts.
THE Sheperdess" by lie Role,
THE Angels Heads" by Raph-
ael.
THE Fighting Temeraire" will
be the most expensive picture,
costing about twenty-five dollars.
The subject is historical and the
treatment practical, The old
ship after its many victories is
being towed to its last resting
place at the close of day. The
flaming sunset in the background
reddens the waters and typifies
both the brilliant career of the
ship and its passing out of SER
vice.
Stafford on Avon" is n photo
graph of the town where Shakes
peare was born with the winding
Avon river in the foreground.
The other five pictures are re-
productions Of some of the most
famous paintings in the world
and will average in cost fifteen
dollars each. II was thought
best to purchase imported car
bons instead of the cheaper
American carbons. The import
ed are direct reproduction from
the original paintings and are
better pictures than the Ameri-
can carbons which are reproduc-
tons of the imported carbons.
The best will be none too good
for the new school building.
The pictures will be ready to
ship in from Portland the last of
June or the early part of July,
three or more Of the teachers will
see them before they are accept
ed from the picture dealers.
1t is hoped that the collection
will not be placed in the old
school building as the roof leaks
and the dust is heavy. The risk
Of maring the pictures would be
great. The teachers have asked
the school board to find a suita-
Bile place to exhibit them until
The new building is ready.

THE CHEERFUL HEART

There never was a day so long
It did not have an end.
There never was man so poor
He did not have a friend.
And when the long day is at end
1t brings a time of rest,
And he who has one steadfast friend
Can count himself as blest.
There never was a cloud that hid
The sunshine all from sight.
There never was life so sad
It had not some delight.
Perchance for us the sun at last
May break the dark clouds through,
And glory gild the sunset skies
Till heaven seems just in view.
So let's not be discouraged, friend,
When shadows cross our way.
Of hope and trust I've some to lend,
So borrow from me, pray.
Good friends are we; therefore, not
Though worldly wealth we lack.
Behold the sun breaks forth at last
And drives the dark clouds back!
-Eben e. Rexford
