SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT VERY
SUCCESSFUL.

The schoc entertainment given last
Thursday evening at the new auditori-
um drew a good attendance In spite
of the inclement weather, and the var
ious attractive features met with hearty
response at the hands of the patrons
in the way of vigorous applause
The high school orchestra under the
direction of Miss Gwinn dispensed mu-
sic for the occasion, and acquitted IT.
self in the usual commendable manner.
The Arion chorus, with Director Hill
bourne at the head, was encored many
times and required to do double duty.
The little folk drills and song were
loudly applauded, all of which was high
ly appreciated by the youngsters as well
as their trainers.
The play Patty at Boarding Schoof
was put on in excellent shape by the
high school pupils, as was also the
burglar sketch. entitled Thieves in
the Night" by Harold Harris and MISS
Virginia Branscombe.
The only criticism that could be Of
fered was on the delays, due no doupt
to the fact that some of the assistants
as well as those in charge, were over
anxious to witness the performance
from the front view, and forgot that
they were there to entertain an audi
ence. But altogether II was lirst
class entertainment. and afforoed
very Measurable evening. The recelpts
which were fairly good, will be applied
on the debt for the new stage scenery

BACK FROM MEXICO.

George r. Chase, for many years
resident of this community, arrived in
the city Sunday evening direct from
the seat of war in Mexico. He was
accompanied as far as Lewiston by
Mrs. Charles r. Chase and five chill
dren. who stopped off at the home OF
her parents. Mr. Chase says they with
eighty others, left Columbus, Mex, 80
miles from Tampico, on May 1, having
been notified by the American consul
to yamouse, and were given transporta-
ton to New Orleans by boat, and then
railroad transportation to their various
destinations Mr. Chase had been In
the state of Tamaulipas near Columbus
with his nephew, Charles K. Chase,
for the past two years. He says 1t is
the finest country on earth, and only
needs protectorate by the United
States or an assured stable government,
by any other means, to bring 1T right
TO the front. His nephew, who was
running a store al Columbus. has had
his business closed down for the past
wear: but should the u. S. government
take charge of things they would all
go back there and settle down again
He thinks Uncle Sam should not with
draw the troops, at least until there Is
some fixed and satisfactory government
established that will furnish protection
to Americans and all other foreigners
C. r. Chase is still in that country
looking after his interests.

CAMAs PRAIRIE FINE ALFALFA
COUNTRY.

X. L. Drury, manager of the NAM
moth Wren 4 Greenough ranch near
Denver, was in town Monday on busi-
ness, and called at the Globe office.
Mr.. Drury has become an enthusiastic
convert to alfalfa growing on Camas
prairie within the last year. He says
up to that time while fully conversant
with the advantages of alfalfa as
forage for young growing stock, he
was decidedly skeptical about 1t be-
ing successfully grown on this elevated
plateau. But II has been demonstrated
to him that this is one of the finest
alfalfa countries extant. He drove over
to the e. s. Sweet ranch west of town
this week and inspected Mr. Sweets
ninety acre field of alfalfa, which he
says Is as fine as he ever saw grow
in any irrigated section. According to
Mr.. Drury, II Is now about sixteen
inches high, and standing so thick that
your sombrero sailed out into 1t will
float about like Eastwood chip on
the crest Of the tide. The Palouse
country, he says, is not In IL with this
plateau. Wren & Greenough now have
out rs acres of alfalfa and 100 acres
of red clover, and will probably great
ly increase this acreage.
The Globe some months ago made
mention of the splendid acreage which
was being put in by Senator E. s.
Sweet. ON his ranches north of Grange
vile. George NJ, Reed, who Sundayed
with Mr.. Sweet and daughter at the
ranch. says Mr.. Sweet now has In 1870
acres of alfalfa and so acres of red
| clover. The alfalfa is sight to be-
hold, as are also the SO head of fine

with the statement that this is preem-
inently an alfalfa and clover country.
and that instead of grain, grain. grain;
1t should be silos. dairying and stock
raising, and the problem of money max
ing in this country would then be

MAY
DAY PROGRAM
An Ideal Day anda Large and

The May Day exercises by the local
school had to be adjourned from last
Friday to Tuesday of this week on ac-
count of the unpropitious weather con-

nor too cold, but just right, floating,
fleecy clouds passing over the sun with
sufficient regularity to temper its rays

at the same time letting through the
required amount Of warmth to make
conditions comfortable.
A splendid audience assembled at the
new school grounds at p. m. where
comfortable seats had been arranged
for them, together with the May Queens
throne, the May Pole and the music
stand where the orchestra and the
phonograph were installed.
Miss Cora Hurley was crowned "May
Queen after being escorted around
the arena by the 'inner circle" atten-
dants and her extensive retinue COM
prising the whole school. Following
this ceremony came the regular pro-
gram as published and which was also
furnished the spectators without stint.
The young folks all acquitted themselves
In most admirable and commendabie
manner, thus amply rewarding their
competent instructors for their many
hours and days of labor expended In
bringing them to that point of pro-
ficiency where they could give such a
pleasing entertainment These May Day
exercises which have now been given
for two seasons, and which have met
with such universal approval, should be
made regular annual fete from this
on. There is nothing more pleasing that
the school has ever undertaken, and
with the new school building and the
improved grounds. these exercises might
be enlarged upon and even improved

whether for good or evil, the forest
system is here to stay. Congress has
for some years come to the conclusion
that the public interest is best served
by retaining ownership of the water

the national cogress is administering
the national estate just as you and
would administer the estate of de-
