At the Lyric

A we'll balanced bill. said to be one of the highest priced of the season, is holding forth this week at the Lyric theatre. The two headliners, the ''Telc- phone Tangle" and the Willie brothers. equilibrists. came fully up to expecta : tions and proved highly entertaining. It is seldom that an acrobatic perform ance as the closing number will hold tho audience, yet the feats performed by the Willie brothers are so astound- ing and marvellous that the audience rcmaired seated until the curtain fell.
 While not billed as headliners, Irene ana Bobby Smith, two dainty misses, whose act was decidedly clever, came near receiving the lions share of ap plausc. They combine charm, personal ity and talent and present songs worth while" in a highly pleasing manner. Miss Bobby is a cornedienne of marked ability and ranks among the best that has appeared this season.
 The "Telephone Tangle" is great novelty, affording splendid vehicle for comedy situations which are clever Ky shown by Miss Dorothy Regal and able company.
 Billy Gould and Belle Ashlyn in team work maintain the reputation that pre- ceded them as very clever entertain CTS They sing and dance and chat tn a manner that IS dlIlerent, presontInS numerous little specialties that are {; delight.
 Howard. the Scottish ventriloquisr. has very clever and original act and score, we'll Ray Monde succeeded Tn mystifying the audience as to his or hcr Identity. The opening number. Ncher and Kappell. artistic skaters. wers acceptable.
 sThe Pathe Weekly News service which is a feature of the Lyric theater every week is showing mo- ton picture of the recent wreck on the Alahama- Great Southern raiiroe near Livinestor. in which dozen of people were killed and more than score were iniured. The wreck is of particular interest to people in Rir- mingham owing to the fact that 1t oc- cured go near here and that among the Killed and inipred were several people from Birmingham c. H. M.

ADJUSTMENTS
sThe Midnight Girl"

The seat sale for the big Shubert mu- sical comedy success, "The Midnight Girl,'' which will be at the Jefferson theatre for one performance Thursday night. will begin this morning at the box office. Inasmuch as the play comes well recommended and carries big company tc produce 1t. large audience Is as- sured
 "The Midnight Girl' rests not alone on its music for its merit. but on the story which contains all the essentials of d we'll woven farce, and abounds in laugh able situations. It rests on the complica- tons brought on two Parisian roues, who, to cover their lar1Ss. assume the name of Criquet, as ubiquitous in France as the name of Smith Is in this country

such admission prices every day
in the larger cities. The rental
of these films was considerable
in advance of what the regular
service of Tonawama costs each
week, therefore 1t was impossi.
bic to produce the pictures for a
less price.
The vocal solo by Mrs. Chester
Dalton added much to the enter
tainment and the lady was most
generously applauded. She re-
sponded to an encore very grace
fully. This was Mrs. Dalton's
first appearance as q soloist and
she won the admiration Of the
entire house.
The ladies are quite well salts
fled with the performance, how
ever. and since it did not entail
so much work and worry on the
part of the Library Club, it has
brought them quite a neat sum.
1t is possible another picture pro-
gram will be given for the library
before the winter is over, and
should this be decided upon def
nitely it is the intention to secure
some well known production that
will appeal to all.

Among other things, the Conf
mission probably will ask that
the deer season be opened 9
month later than at present, OF
September ! instead Of August !,
and close about ten days later, OF
on November 10. This would
cut down the season about ~
days, but the Commission would
ask that the restriction against
killing doe be removed.
It is probable that the Com
mission also will ask the legisla-
ture to allow the killing Of Chin
ese hen pheasants, They point
out that many hunters kill the
female birds anyway, and that
il the killing be legalized the
slaughter would be reduced, in
asmuch as the hens would have
te be counted in the hunters bag
with the male bird.

"RIcHELIEU"

The picture program given al
Tonawama last night as a benefit
to the public library under the
management of the Ladies'
Library Club, was not attended
as largely as the production de.
served, especially as it was Q
benefit. ''Richelieu" is truly a
great production and while the
story was not made entirely clear
to those who had never read the
story or seen the play, it was
nevertheless a fine production and
one that was particularly appre-
ciated by those who care for that
character Of play.

Public Land Being Settled.

AS an answer to the impression
which seems to exist that all the
public lands of any value have
long ago been taken up. Secretary
Lane. in an advance statement
from his annual report, calls at
tention to the fact that since
March 4 1918. settlers have made
entry on nearly 20. 900. 600 acres
Of public lands an area equal to
that of Connecticut, Massachu-
sets. New Hampshire. and New
Jersey combined. During the
same period practically as much
more coal and other mineral land
of the west has been examined
in detail in 40-acre tracts by the
Geological Survey, and most Of It
has been thrown open to settle
ment or purchase. Some Of these
lands, such as those which include
workable deposits of phospate or
oil. !are still withdrawn pending
suitable legislation for there
disposed or use. Another impor-
tant activity in public-land class
ifcation to which the Secretary
calls attention is the designation
of lands for entry as enlarged"
or 320-acres homesteads. Desig-
nations under this law approved
by him cover 33, 453. 068 acres.
The extract from the Becre-
tary's report contains a series Of
maps of twelve public land
states showing in graphic form
"a theare,a withdrawn from entry |
in these states between March
1918, and July, 1914 ~ the

ave been large and which are
discussed by the Secretary are

Livestock Market Brisk.

There seems a good demand
for livestock throughout this sec
ton at the present time and most
Of the marketable cattle have
been sold. Many home people
have again bought stock cattle al
a stiff price who had sold out
completely a few years ago and
viii again engage in the business
actively. Range conditions have
improved in recent years and
the changed conditions also per-

raiser, therefore the small stock
man is again in evidence and
with his home fields and pastures.

ket in close proximity he can
make O success of the busi-
ness where it was rather unfav-
orable a few years ago. The
scientific education along the line
of livestock raising that has been
conducted by the Agriculture
College and through the farm
press bulletins have had a good
effect and brought about chang
ed condition, or rather showed
the small stock man and the
farmer his mistakes in the past.
The war has been a factor in
creating a market for many
medium sized horses and local
raisers are now reaping the bene-
fit. There are a large number
of horses for sale in this interior
country and they are being dis
posed of at good prices. The
ready sale of livestock in general
has made our local growers pros
porous and has been an impetus
to closer attention to the business
SO that the future looks very
bright along this line of indus
try.
The sheep men are also en-
couraged with good prices for
both mutton and wool and the
bands are increasing throughout
this interior territory. Range
conditions seem satisfactory for
sheep men and the smaller grow
er Is getting his focks in better
shape to care for them with less

sidered necessary in the past. It'll

Money Easier Railroad
Building VIII be Result

| In Sundays issue. the Portland
0regonian deyotes an editorial
to comment upon the faith in
Central 0regon's credit shown
by the recent sale Of the five per
cent interstate bridge bonds at q
premium. That, and other indi-
cations. point to the sound condi-
ton of the state. and Of rapidly
lettering condition of financial
affairs. An easier market and
considerable. industrial expansion
in Oregon are the predictions Of
the Portland paper.
The editorial continues:
Many such enterprises await
capital and the energy to apply
it. AS soon as the litigation in-
volving the Southern Pacific and
Central Pacific railroads is ended
money will be needed to COM
plete the Natron-Klamath cutoff.
When returning prosperity has
put the interban trolley lines on

Coast belt should become finan-
cially possible. The same state
ment is true Of the extension Of

to a connection with the Des-
chutes Railroad at Bend and with
the Southern Pacific at Natron;
also Of the extension Of the
