II. Price Webber.
A Tribute.

The extraordinary demand for tick
cts for the Armitage Club entertain
ment, to be given the evening of Feb.
10. at the Parish House, springs not
alone from public interest in the work
of that organization, but from the fact,
also, that it gives our people an op-
portunity to see Mr.. and Mrs. Web
Der in their own home city.
Price, as he is known by everybody
and called everywhere, is a really
unique figure in the theatrical world
He is not only a star comedian but he
is the Dean of his profession, having
been in active service as manager-ac-
tor longer than any man in this
country.
Having just closed very success
full sson. he has been before the pub
lie for thirty nine consecutive years
staging something like three hundred
performances a year and being, HIM
self, ION the biIl' every day.
It is @ record without any parallel,
we think, in the history of the Ameri-
can stage.
And it is not only a testimonial to
his Judgment and his skill, but what
a story it tells of courage and Of
health,-of right thinking and Of clean
living. We take of our hat to Price
webber, he has made life success.
And whatever tribute may be paid
to him applies with equal force to Mrs
Webber. For during their entire mar
ried life she has been his leading lady,
taking part in every performance,
ard by her fine character giving am
pie evidence that the stage is not de-
void of true womanhood.
All hail to them both. and may they
long live to enjoy the reward of real
merit!

Liner Unable to
Land Its Passengers.

Plymouth Eng, Feb 1.-THE storm
tossed passengers on board the battered
Olympic, who had been eagerly anticipat-
ing relief from the miseries of their voy-
age from New \ erk when they reached
here today, had to go on to Southamp-
ton, as the fiereeness of the gale prevent
ed their landing or the transferring of
the mails. This was the first time in
many years that such a thing had hap
pened here to liner from America. The
weather inside the breakwater was so Sc
we're that the tenders were unable to get
alongside the steamer, and after two
hours of futile effort the Olympic pro-
ceeded.
Police We're waiting here to board the
Olympic in connection, 1t is believed,
with reports of a gambling dispute on the
vessel during the voyage.

There is nothing wrong with the
water board accounts. Instead of a
shortage OF $780,
THE Only Crime 500 the board has
OF The s1.14 too much on
Water Board hand. The coun-
ell has found af-
ter thorough investigation that there
is an abundance OF fine water at
Thorn Hollow, that the work is being
efficiently conducted and that the wa
ter commissioners have been acting
faithfully and honestly in the per-
formance of their duties.
This is the substance OF the report
made last evening by the city coun-
ell. It is a report submitted after
several weeks of diligent inquiry. IT
IL a report submitted after the books
os the board had been audited by ex-
perts. It is submitted after the coun-
ci. had made a personal trip to Thorn
Hollow accompanied by the city engi-
neer. 1t Is a report submitted after
the council had held many sessions
for the purpose Of going into every
phase Of the subject with view to as
certaining the truth.
The report of the council, is the YER
dict Of the jury in this case and 1t Is
The answer TO the vicious and unscru-
pulous attacks that were made on four
members of the water board and on
the Thorn Hollow project. The ver-
dict Is a fiat contradiction Of the
claims made by DR.. Best and the sheet
that published and endorsed his mis-
cradle rot. The report means that the
council after a full and impartial in
vestigation has found those attacks to
be false and unjustified. 1t was libel
and those responsible Justly deserve
criminal punishment
The report Of the council is not sur
prising to the East Oregonian. This
paper has never believed the deroga-
tory stories published against the pro-
