JUNGLE TOMS CABIN"

That exceptionally good emotional
drama, Uncle Toms Cabin" that
comes to the Grand theater on Friday,
Aug. %, is destined to outlast the
period originally planned for it's stay.
The reason is obvious; the public
loves play that makes complete en-.
tertainment without coarseness, and
that is the kind of play Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe built when she fash
toned Uncle Toms Cabin" The story
is a thread upon which is hung beau
tiful stage pictures. The company Is
one of the best that has been seen
in this class of entertainment, and
so well chosen that the members make
such an appeal to the heart that -ex-
cites the admiration of every man,
woman and child who go to the thea
ter for entertainment.
In announcing this great play, the
management of the Grand gives fur.
Their evidence of it's policy to present
the best that is obtainable in the
dramatic field, irrespective of the
cost and expense that may be involv-
ed. "Uncle Toms Cabin" compares
favorably with any of the master
pieces and as a dramatic story, Is
forceful, picturesque and interesting
as any play that has even been based
on incidents that go to make up life
in this great world.
1t is play that offers ample scope
for every member of the company, in
fact all of the characters by reason of
their distinctive personality are de-
serving of more than passing intet.
est, every known human passion has
been drawn upon in the construction
of the play, and so we'll is it written
that every part and character is OF
Importance.

ceeded with the prisoner to South

The assault by Ross is alleged to
have been made few days ago on a
man named Bradley, pioneer of the
North river valley, who is the COM
planning witness. The particulars of
the alleged offense are not known
here, further than the difficulty grew
out of an alleged attempt by the moth
er of Earl Ross. Mrs. M. M. Ross, to
jump land claim in that section.
According to Mrs. Ross, who was
considerably perturbed last night over
the arrest of her son, said she had
squatted on claim or MRS. Wander
pool, who had been in Canada for the
past four years, and that this man
Bradley had taken trouble to bother
her, and had gone so far as to defame
her. That her two sons, Harry aid
Earl, both we'll and favorably known
young men of this city, were there
visiting her when they learned of the
calumnies of Bradley concerning their
mother She said, the boys met Brad
ley and that Earl slapped him, and
offered here by wire to the sheriff 5

WAGON HIT BY AUTO;
OCCUPANTS ESCAPE

An automobile driven by Vivian Luce,
son of L. l.. Luce, ran into and partly
demolished a wagon driven by Otis
Chabot of Moclips and containing Mrs.
Chabot and some household goods, Sat
urday night at the corner of Fifth and
streets, Hoquiam. Young Luce was
turning the corner and before his head
lights had revealed the buggy, his ma
chine ran it down.
Quickly applying the brakes the car
was brought to stop, but skidded
along on the slippery pavement and
hit the wagon, breaking the shafts and
tipping the occupants out on the street,
according to his story. Mr. and Mrs.
Chabot were thrown to the pavement
but regained their feet quickly. Their
injury was slight.

TEACHERS
INSTITUTE
Noted Educators Are Engaged
to Address Teachers at
Coming Institute

J. w. Hodge, county school superin-
tendent-elect, says, regarding the COM
ing annual teachers institute:
"The Chehalis county teachers insti-
tute will be held in Aberdeen Septem-
Der to s. 1t is the intention to make
this meeting of interest to the people
generally as we'll as to the teachers.
"The public school is a very much
discussed institution today.
1.-THE institute program is being
planned with the fact in view that the
schools must take note Of the chang
ing conditions and respond to present
day needs. DR.. Beach of the University
of Washington, who is regarded as the
states most thoughtful man along So
cial and industrial lines, will give a
series Of lectures on problems con-
fronting the community. N. D. Sho-
walter, principal of the Cheney nor
NAL school, scarcely needs an intro
duction to Washington people. His
practical experience, his sound judy
ment and his comprehensive grasp of
school affairs make him worth while
in any educational council. A compe-
tent supervisor will be secured as an
instructor for the primary teachers.
"Mr. Stahl of the experimental sta
ton will be present to discuss some
phases Of agriculture with the teach
ers and all others interested. Miss
Mann, a graduate of the state college.
now supervisor of the Hoquiam
schools, will present some particularly
valuable work in home economics.
81 hope large number of people es.
pecially members Of the school boards,
will attend the meetings. It is time
there was a closer relationship be-
tween home and school. Other COM
munities have accomplished large
things and we certainly can carry for
ward and extend some good work al
ready started here.
Every truly,
