I to0, made an ideal hero. His light
COMEDY scenes were excellent, and hi
work in the big scent in the second act
where he sends Hodgman from tn,
room, and later where the colonel dis
covers him hiding, was real acting that
showed not a single trace of the ANA
teur.
William B. Mott, rs Dr.. Fenlon, had
the key to the audience S laughter at
his finger tips, and whenever he fired
comedy line at tnem they let 90 with
their mirth as if they were trained to
lit. His scenes in the second act with
Miss McCullagh and with lIolgman
were especially good.
She Lived the Part.
As Miss MacCullagh, the young
school teacher. who afterwards joins
the Red Cross in order to go to the
front with the doctor, Miss Althca
Moores was splendid Sne handled her
scenes in a taultless manner, and when
she made her final entrance displaying
the red cross on her sleeve, the pleased
audience greeted her heartily again.
Robin D. Day, as Captain Hodgman,
was on of the most convincing Williams
imaginable. He gave splendid per-
formance of the difficult part and sue
ceeded in getting himself thoroughly
hated for the time being.
James W. Mott S performance of Tony
Mostano, the Mexican, was a genuine
treat, The audience naturally expect
ed something out of the ordinary from
Mr.. Mott, and they certainly got it..
His comedy scene with Lena in the
third act produced one continuous roar
of laughter, and he had to wait after
every speech till the audience got
through enjoying it, Tony's little
speech near the end Of the play, where
he confessed to shooting Hodgman, was
superbly done, and Mr.. Motifs rcndi-
tion Of it gripped the audience like a
vice.
See It Tonight,
Oscar Steelhamer made an excellent
Sergeant Kelar. His Characterization
was perfect, and in both the comedy
and the serious scenes he gave splen'

Thomas Roberts as Lieutenant Hal

important parts in each Of the scenes,
and their work as the two junior Off

ARIZONA MAKES A
GREAT HIT WITH ALL
Big Audience Enjoys Play Pre-
Sented by Talented Salem
Young Folks

An entirely new standard for anna
teur theatrical productions was estab-
lished in Salem last evening when the
| local east under the direction Of James
w. Mott, presented Augustus Thomas
great military play, Arizona" at the
Grand opera mouse, under the auspices
of the Loyal Order Of Moose.
TO say that the play was a success
is very mild way Of putting it, 1t
surpassed so completely anything in
the way of local talent performance
that has ever been seen here, that it
simply took the big audience off their
feet The first surprise came with the
rise Of the curtain ON the first act. The
setting was complete in every detail
and the audience saw a real Arizona
ranch, Jonn D. Turner, as Candy, the
ranch owner, and Hal V. Bolam, as
Colonel Bonham, oGcned the act with
bang, and the applause and laughter
started before the first two speeches
had been given. 1t gradually began
to dawn on the audience that they were
witnessing performance that could
not be improved upon by a professional
east, and when the curtain went down
at the end Of the act they burst into
applause which lasted for several min
utes,

STANDARD VARIETIES OF TREE
FRUITS.

There are very few sections of this
country where SO many varieties of
tree fruits can be found as in West
ern Washington. Some OF these vari-
cites are we'll adapted to our condi-
lions of climate and soil, but many
of them are not and should never be
planted either in the home or COM
mercial orchard. Some varieties can
we'll be used in the home orchard
which would not be advisable to grow
from commercial standpoint. There
are, however, a number of varieties
which are excellent for both purposes
and in general do we'll in Western
Washington.
APPLES.
The varieties of apples which are
giving the best results are the Yellow

Planting Strawberries

Strawberries will grow we'll on
many types of soil, but they prefer a
sandy loan. A slope is preferable to
lowland as there is less danger OF
frosts. A south slope will give earli-
est berries and should be chosen in
preference to north or east slope.
when earliness is an object. Good
drainage is essential and deep plow-
ing is necessary to get best results.
The soil should be thoroughly pre-
pared before the plants are set
Some growers set their plants in
the fall while others prefer spring
setting. In soils which are not apt
to "heave" and injure the tender
roots, planting can be done in the
fall, but in general spring planting is
more satisfactory.
The plants are best set in hills IL
to 16 inches apart and in rows three
to three and one-half feet apart.
Plants for setting should be taken
from near the parent or mother plant
as they are always produced first aud
are stronger than plants produced
near the tip of the runner. Only
young plants produced during the
past season should be set. Two or
three year old plants will not give
satisfactory results.
A short handled hoe is good
planting tool, and a careful, vigorous
man on his hands and knees is the
best machine that can be used.
Plants should be set SO that the
crown (juncture of root and top), is
at the surface of the ground. A good
root system is desirable in a young
plant, but il is best to remove most
OF the leaf surface when planting so
that no more moisture will evaporate
from the plant than is necessary.
Blossoms and runners should be re-
moved from the plant as they are
produced and the surface of the soil
kept we'll cultivated during the first
season.
PLANTING RASBERRIES.
Red raspberries like best a deep
rich sandy loan such as is usually
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-03-01

found in our valley soils, but good
crops can be grown on quite a variety
of soils if we'll handled. Good drain
age is even more essential than with
the strawbtrr y, and it is impossible
to get the best results without it.
Before planting, the soil should be
thoroughly prepared by deep blowing
and a good working down until soil
PARTICLES are fine to the bottom of
the furrow. 1t is a good plan to
work in a heavy application of barn
yard manure after blowing. If set
ting is to~be done In the spring the
manure may be applied to the land
during the previous fall allowing it
to become incorporated with the soil
during the winter.
In most OF our soils spring setting
is desirable The plants are best
grown in rows and in hills in the row.
The distance for setting will depend
somewhat on the variety and also on
the system Of training the plants.
Strong growing varieties like the
Cuthbert should not be set in COM
merclal fields with lows closer than
seven feet and many growers prefer
eight feet. The hills should not be
closer than "a inches and 30 inches is
often more desirable.
1t is best to set plants of the previ-
Gus season s growth rather than older
plants. Plants with good root systems
should be chosen and should be taken
from fields which have received good
culture rather than from neglected
fields. In light sandy soils the young
plants may be set at depth of from
four to six inches, but in clay soils
not so deep. In general, deep set
ting is preferable to shallow planting.
The plants are easily set by placing
them in a trench by throwing out a
couple of burrows of soil with light
pillow.
The fine soil should be we'll frmed
around the roots and the trench
about half filled. AS the new shoots
are produced the trench can be filed
gradually.

M. +. Ibertson Says That Unless Use
Of City Hall is Given for Lectures,
Legal Action Will Be Started.
HALL LOCKED. SAYS RUSSELL
Money Left With Clerk Stein Remains
Unclaimed and Interesting Events
Looked for This Evening.
HALL LOCKED, 2 SAYS RUSSELL

(. = X T &
Theodore Sims, an anti-Catholic
speaker. is scheduled to give series
Of six lectures at the city hall this
week, the first to he given this even
ing. Although Mr.. Sims is adyer-
tised to appear at the city hall, it is
not likely that such will be the case.
Several weeks ago the hall was
rented for the lectures by M. E. Ibert-
son. George Stein, city clerk, was
not informed at that time for what
purpose the hall was being rented,
and when it became known, there was
protests from Catholics and Protest
ants alike, who are not in favor of
causing any religious controversies.
Door To Be Locked.
City Clerk Stein offered to refund
the money paid for the rent of the
hall to Mr.. Ibertson, on the grounds
that it was unlawful to make use of
public building for sectarian pur-
poses. The money was not accepted
by Mr.. Ibertson.
When asked where the lecture
would be held, Mr.. Ibertson today
said that the city hall would be the
place and that he was Informed by
good legal authority that the city Of
ficials could not prevent them from SO
doing.
"The weather is ideal for an out
door lecture this evening"" said P. ].
Russell, city attorney, "and I guess
that the talk will not be given in the
city hall. The door will be locked
tonight as understand no one else
wants it. The common law will sus-
tain the city officials in the matter"
Fight To a Finish.
+ ssWe have rented the hall for this
evening" said Mr.. Ibertson, sand I
do not think that the officials will
keep us from holding the lectures
there when It comes to a show down.
But II we are not allowed It's use, we
will fight to the finish. and the city
will ~be made defendant in legal
action"
From the present outlook there Is
likely to be interesting "doings'' at
the city hall around 8 O'Clock this
evening.

GAS is FATAL TO TWO MEN
Found Dead in Room Above st. Paul
Saloon,

st. Paul, jan 19.-Charles Stark,
aged twenty-five, and Albert Mazda,
aged twenty-five, bartenders, were
found dead in their room when Jo-
seph Juvosel, porter, went. to awaken
them. Both were employed by Peter
Glish and occupied rooms above his
saloon.
Gas poisoning caused their death.
The presumption is that when they
retired one of the two extinguished
the gas and then accidentally turned
the jet on again. Investigation
showed that the jet was loose and
that such an accident could easily
happen.
The men came to this country from
Poland two years ago. Two months
ago they secured employment from
Glish. They were unmarried.
