The present revival of Clyde Fitchs play
1.-THE Truth" with Grace George in the leading
role, at the Adelphi Theatre, is the first Of the
distinguished dramatist's plays to be given
since his death at Chalons-sur-AIa France,
in 1909. AS it was maintained that all of
Fitch's plays were written with a sort Of jour
nalistc eye for the news of the day. and were,
therefore, ephemeral, many were curious to see
how THE Truth" would stand the test Of time
seven years after the original production with
Clara Bloodgood. The production made by

a complete vlndication of Fitch
Many "reminiscences relative to Mr.. Fitch'5

Seaport's Importance to Russia.
OF course, the authorities have pur-
posely kept as secret as possible the
nature of the military work at Libau
and foreigners would ordinarily have
but little chance to see anything at
all. But Americans have helped, and
SO have British engineers, in the
strengthening of this artificial base,
and from these something has been
learned OF the nature of the prepare

any material damage has been done

the town, unlike the hidden naval
basin and docks. would not hamper
the port in a military sense.
1t must not be forgotten that Libau
is naturally an important railway ter
minal, with lines running both back
toward the Russian-German frontier
and up along the coast to the other
Baltic ports, with a northern terminal
at st. Petersburg. For purposes of sup
ply 1t is, therefore, of the greatest con-
Germ to Russia to hold the harbor Of
Lbau open to her shipping and to
other craft, bringing her contraband.

Breakwaters are commonly quilt OF
big masses of piled rock capped with
a topping of cut stone. But ordinary
practice was out of the question at Ii
bau. and the engineers were soon face
to face with a serious difficulty. Rocks
were scarce in that sandy region. and
even small stones could be gathered
only by dint of a good deal of search.

To overcome the dearth of desirable
material Of natures making and to
avoid the impracticable alternative OF
bringing rock overland by very made
quate rail facilities, 1t was decided to
fashion monster blocks Of concrete,
weighing 80 tons apiece, out of the
readily available sand, In this way
millions OF dollars were spent In the
producing of artificial stone. and these
enormous units were dumped upon the

next thing was to dredge nut its shall

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

There is a continued easy tendency
in the prices of meats, while canned
and dried fruits are generally rather
easy in price. There are further ad-
justments in the cotton goods situa-
ton, but with no marked declines
consequent upon the decentralization
in the market for the raw materials.
Some improvement is noted in this
connection, incident to the enlarged
acquisitions from European sources
for the manufactured product, and
with the freer operations of the mills,
it is believed that relief for the situa-
ton will soon be afforded. The most
pronounced strength is still evinced
in the market for breadstuffs. There
has been a further advance In the
price of wheat, already at top mark
for the season, under sustained for
eign demand.
Sugar-The weakness that has been
characteristic of the sugar market for
several weeks past has undergone a
slight change during the past week
owing to the increased call from
abroad, and while there has been some
slight advance at primary markets,
the local quotations remain the same
as last week. To what extent this re-
action will be effective is problemat.

sugar is undoubtedly a strong one, sc

Butter-The butter market in local
jobbing circles firmed up trifle this
week and quotations are about q

being from 35c to soc.
Eggs-The egg business is confined
almost exclusively to eastern fresf
and local storage. the local fresh be

fresh are quoted this week at $10@1l

the situation remains about the same
as heretofore.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-This fruit is commencing
to show greater variety in offerings,
but the prices continue rather easy,
with slight widening in the range
on both cooking and fancy this week,
the former being quoted at 5O@75c
and the latter 75cQ$l25.
Other Fruits-Oranges are a little
f1rmer this week at $3.5O@3.75 and
Florida grapefruit is off at $5@5.25.
Cantaloupes, eastern Concords and
Washington grapes are out of the
market.
Potatoes-The local spud market is
rather weak both as to prices and
movement. Jobbers aver that the
present draggy tone of the market
will continue until spring and that if
better prices are to come at all it
will not be earlier than that time. The
price on the Irish variety remains the
same as last week, S5c@$l.25, while
sweets are a little firmer at $3.50.

ken little wider range in value at
$1.25@1.5O as has also cauliflower at
$1@1.75. California rhubarb is off 1c
at &C per pound and picking onions,
local head lettuce and tomatoes are
out of the market.

Wheat-The upward trend Of the
wheat market seems to have come to
stay for time at least. 1t is asserted
that the recent upward trend in val
ues have no elements Of speculation
but are the result of supply and de-
mand, and IL the present trend of the
market continues it is likely that there
will be little wheat in growers hands

ment in the demand and much in
crease in the number of inquiries
While the local market experienced
an advance of zoe to Csc per barrel

are making these prices as low az
they can consistently make them, the
advance making the price for patents
