l'urk's Big Uncle Toms Cabin Com
pany Under Mammoth Canvas

Among the many tented organiza-
tons in America, that have become
famous, the Ringing Bros, and Bar
mum & Bailey shows are conceded to
be the largest and most popular cir
cuses. But the largest dramatic or
ganization exhibiting under canvas is
"Burk's big spectacular production Of
Uncle Toms Cabin This mammoth
amusement enterprise is the acknow-
ledged Barnum of all Uncle Tom 3
Cabin companies" like the big cir
cuses, they travel in their own cars
and require a special train of their
own to transport their paraphernalia
from one city TO another. This organi-
zation embraces more men, women
and children, more horses, ponies,
donkeys and Siberian blood hounds,
more chariots, floats, tableaux wag-
ons. ETC., than any other similar ex-
hibition in America. The parade
which may be seen daily on the prin-
cipal streets wherever this mighty
show exhibits, is the largest of any
dramatic exhibition in the world.
The immortal play, Uncle Toms
Cabin is Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stoves masterpiece of dramatic fic-
ton. The management of Burk's big
company has spared no expense in
securing a metropolitan cast to prop
erly produce this grand old drama.
In combination with the dramatic tai
ent the management presents a con-
tingent of high-class vaudeville ar

ing Delegates

Monday evening Garland Ethel, one
of the delegates from the Methodist
church of this place, returned from
Chelan, where the Columbia River
Distrist Epworth League held it's sec
Cnd annual institute. Mr.. Ethel re-
ports that many of the brightest, deep
est thinking men of Washington were
present. Among them were Prof.
Todd, of the Puget Sound College, who

conviction to his hearers that several
young men and women came to the al
tar and were converted The bible
study was conducted by DR.. Thomas
Lane, pastor of the First NJ. E. church
of Tacoma. DR.. Lane also lectured
taking as his subject Success" as
seen by different people. Christian
stewardship classes were conducted
by DR.. Sulinger, an excellent physician
as we'll as an ambassador of Jesus
Christ. DR.. Sulinger brought out the
IDEA that we did not ''own" anything
but are only stewards of our Master
for few years and then We passed
away, our property taken over by
another who will be, as we are, stew
ards of God. Mrs. Kean, remarkable
woman, who spent ten years in China
as mission; ry, conducted classes
and also delivered an address on the
Women of the Orient" Louis r.
Horton. who is connected with the
Anti-saloon League of Washington
conducted classes in temperance dur
ing the whole week. Mr.. Horton said
we do not want the saloon keeper to
think that we are opposed to him
but are opposed to his business, which
degrades the nation and sends souls
to perdition, wrecks homes and breaks

hearts. AS :; comparison Mr.. Horton
told of tragedy which took place in
Prosser a week ago last Monday night
These are his words: You remember
last Monday night what good time
we had here in Chelan, when we heard
these beautiful and inspiring songs
magnificent sermons, and then enjoy
ed the ice cream social afterwards
Why shouldn't it be so. Chelan is a
dry town. But listen friends. In
Prosser a tragedy was enacted. A
rancher crazed by demon rum walked
into a saloon and shot the bartender,
shot him three times so as to be sure
to kill him. Now one human being is
grasped by the cold hand of death,
while another lies in a prison cell to
await life imprisonment or death. But
friends the saddest thing is to think
of the two ruined homes and the heart
ache. 1t would not be so bad If only
the two were affected, but there are
two silvery haired mothers heart
broken, one nearly PROSTATE with
grief for the loss of der son, and the
other bowing her care worn body be-
fore Almighty God asking that her son
will not be hanged. There is one wild
ow and some orphans and probably
another once happy bride be widow
when her husband has been executed
by the people Of the commonwealth
that voted for the saloon system,
thinking that if they voted dry they
might lose a few dcllars."
Mr.. Ethel met young woman in
Chelan, Miss Florence Sayles, who
is going to spend Eer life in China
telling the Jesus story to the hunger
ing souls who have for ages been
idolaters.

be made in the M. e. church at p. m.

ROGERS-RISTE

A very pretty wedding took place
at the home of Prof. A. NJ Riste, near
Chopaka, Tuesday, when Prof. Robert
Rogers, of Ephrata, and Miss Fay Riste
were united in marriage, Rev. r. T..
Holland officiating. The wedding was
solemnized out doors, under a bower
constructed among the trees near the
site of the old home that was Destroy
ed by fire few weeks ago. The cere-
mony was witnessed by only the i'm
mediate members of the family and
relatives. The groom is said to be a
most worthy and prosperous young
citizen of Ephrata, Grant county. The
bride is a daughter of Prof. and Mrs.
A. M. Riste, we'll known and highly
respected residents of the north end
of the county, and as a former teacher
in the Oroville public school has made
many friends in this community, all
of whom join in wishing the young
couple long and happy married life.

A CAUSE WORTH HELPING
Let Everybody Contribute Their Mite
Towards a Library Building

An oasis in the center of town that
Is attracting the attention of every
visitor is the enclosed park at the de-
| pot. 1t is a sight to cheer the eye, and
an addition to the town of inestimab'e
value. heavy stand of grass is kept
watered and moved until it looks as
| smooth as velvet, and the trees set
| out in the spring are making rapid
and vigorous growth. The presence
OF this beauty spot where it shows off
to the best advantage is due to the en-
ergy and forethought of the ladies OF
the Civic League. Through their in
fluence the land was secured from the
railroad for park purposes. With
money raised through the efforts of the
league the park was fenced, improve
ments made and the plot kept up.
ms preparation of the park was the
flrst steps taken in the ultimate OBJ
ject of building library. Handsome
surroundings were first to be prepar-
ed as setting for the structure that
was to follow. The movement is now
| on foot to raise funds for the con-
struction of that building. Plans are
being designed for library such as
will be credit to the town. The
building is to be used primarily for
library purposes, but is to be so con-
structed that it can be thrown into a
reception hall, and used for the en-
tertainment OF bodies of citizens meet
ing in social way, or for the recep-
ton of visitors. At present the town
is entirely destitute of a room adapted
for such meetings, and for that pur-
pose it will be found very great con-
venience. The one aim is to raise the
necessary fund to put up a creditable
building and the campaign is on. 1t
is believed that the public will respond
generously to the following appeal
handed in by the members of the
library board.
"The members of the library board
OF the Civic League, having created a
building fund, are through the med
ium of the Gazette giving the citizens
and all people who are interested in
Oroville beautiful an opportunity of
aiding in the erection of a suitable
building in the park made green and
lovely by the unwavering energy and
loving thought Of the Civic League for
Oroville, and her present and future
generations, work so far made possible
by the aid and encouragement of the
public, that has manifested interest in
every thing the Civic League does to-
ward stimulating the growth and
beautifying the town."
Contributions can be handed in to
this office, in person or by mail, in any
sums contributors feel able to give,
and the receipt will be acknowledged
and the list of doners will be pub
lished from week to week. 1t is not
necessary that contributors should

Small amounts are just as thankfully
received as larger sums Ii you are
able to spare only 81 send it in. The
mite shows that your heart is in the
just as great in the success of the un-
dertaking as the person who can and
does contribute 500. Let no one hesi-

of honor. So far the following
amounts have been pledged to the

COUNTIES MUST DECIDE
QUESTION FAIR EXHIBIT

At a meeting of the directors of
the Panama-Pacific and Panama Cali
fornia Expositions held at Carson yes
terday, a resolution was unanimously
adopted, putting the matter of wheth.
err Nevada will exhibit at the fairs
up to the various county commission
ers. We quote as follows:
Whereas, the European war or its
results could not have been antici-
pated by the legislature at the time
of the passage of the act providing
for the states representation at the
Panama-Pacific and Pronunciation
MIA expositions, and
Whereas. reduced production in the
mines of Nevada, or storage of the
products Thereof, will cause a loss in
bullion tax revenue, and
Whereas, it appears from the facts
and figures ascertainable from the
state controllers office and the Ne
vada Tax commission that the amount
of revenue actually collected under
the assessed valuation of 1913 was
only slightly over the amount re
quired for the running expenses OF
the state, and of the amount to be
expended on the California exposi
tions but $4,000 is at present actual
ly available; the balance, therefore
is still to be collected and can be OBJ
tanned only through a large increase
in the assessed valuation of the state
for 1914. In addition to the increased
valuation that the exposition appro
priation will necessitate, further in
creased valuation will be required tx
take up the possible loss of revenue
in bullion taxes. Now, therefore, be 1
Resolved, that the board of direc
tors of the state of Nevada for salt
expositions hereby request eacl
county commissioner of the sixteel
counties of the state to make in
quiries and advise this board of TIL
public sentiment Of his county upol
whether or not it is advisable a

discontinue all expenses in connes

Business Covers the Globe

Few of us realize that the rail and
steamer transportation system which
We make use of so frequently has been
developed practically within the pres
ent generation. With it since 1880 has
grown up a system of tours and ex'
cursions which have now been eX-
tended to cover every nook and corner
in the world. There are many firms
in this business, but the foremost Of
them all, and by all means the most
world wide in its scope, is the Ray
mond & Whitcomb Company whose
main Office is at 800 Washington St,
Boston. Their business was first start
ed in 1879 with short trips to Wash
ington, d. c. In 1881 their first Cali
fornia trip was started Since then
they have added to their field of OPP
erations and their tours now include
California, Florida, Mexico and the
West Indies in the winter season, and
the Yellowstone Park, Alaska and
short tours through New England and
the Maritime Provinces in the summer
season. In addition to the domestic
tours mentioned they have a series OF
tours to Europe, Japan and Around
the World, also to Panama, South
America, etc.
Independent of their personally con-
Quoted business they are in a position
to furnish independent railroad and
steamship tickets in any direction and
via any line. as they are authorized
agents of the different transportation
companies. They are now planning
for a series of tours to California dur
