Friday evening, the big feature of
the festival is to be staged, when
Gounod's famous opera, Faust"
will be presented with Mrs. Ina
Wright-Herbst in the role of Mar
garita and a supporting cast of rs
members. Mrs. Herbst has scored
times in European cities, and it af-
fords an opportunity to bring out the
best qualities of her remarkable
voice. The costumes will be elabor-
ate and beautiful, having been Sc

Faust is recognized as one of
the great operas of all time and in
addition to the wonderful m usic tells
powerful and nterest-compelling
story of which the following is
brief synopsis:
Faust, an aged philosopher, has
grown weary of life in his vain eff
forts to penetrate to a knowledge of
the real essence of things. His lat
est vigil has lasted through the
night, and as he sees the light of
new day he siezes a cup of poison
to put an end to his existence. As
he raises the cup the song of a com
pany of maidens floats in at the
window. 1t tells of the joy of liv-
ing and the beauty of nature and
its inspirations. Faust's hand trem-
bles, but again he lifts the cup, only
to pause again to listen to the song
of the reapers going into the fields
to work and hymning their graft
tude to God. Enraged past endur-
ance, Faust invokes a curse upon all
that is good and summons Satan to
his aid. Mephistopheles enters. He
offers gold, glory, power; but they
are declined. Faust Graves youth

CASE DISMISSED
AGAINST SOLICITORS
Charge of Violating State Optometry
Law Dismissed by Justice Henry
IS. q. Baines and A. II. Nc
kintOck Defendants.

The first entry on Pullman's court
calendar for many days was made
Wednesday, when S. G. Baines and
A. T. McKintock, periodical solicit
ors, were hailed before Justice
George N. Henry on charge of
practicing optometry without first
having secured from the state board
of optometry a certificate emitting
them to practice the profession. The
complaints were sworn to by DR.. T.
A. Ball, and upon a plea of not gull
ty the defendants were taken to the
city hall for trial. After hearing the
testimony the case was dismissed
and the defendants were discharged,
Attorney G. R. Lovejoy was appoint
ed by Prosecuting Attorney R. M.
Burgunder to appear for the state,
and Attorney M. S. lamar was coun-
sci for the defendants.
w. E. Wier and w. H. Hammond
were called as witnesses in the case,
and both testified that they had &C
cepted spectacles from the defend
ant, Baines, as premium on pub
LEGATION for which he was soliciting.
The evidence proved that the two So
licitors were not accepting money
for the glasses but were giving them
as a premium, and Justice Henry dis
missed the case upon the assumption
that this act does not constitution a
violation of the state optometry sta
tutes.

Pullmans baseball fans, who all
spring have been longing for one
squint at the great national game as
she is played by the masters at the
science, are promised a full realiza-

future, when Fat" Sanger and

forces together at the city ball park
to do mortal combat for nine full in
nings. The fats" at secret meet
ing held in the alley behind Thorpe's
Smoke House at midnight Wednes-

that popular emporium as their cap
tain, and Frank E. Sanger will serve
in the dual capacity of chief mound
artist and brigadier-general in

and at once named F. G. Forrest as

latter selection, claiming that the

FRUIT PROSPECTS GOOD

Thomas Batty was in Pullman
Wednesday from his Wawawai fruit
ranch, and reported that present
prospects indicate an excellent crop
of all kinds of fruit. The cherry and
plum crops suffered to some extent
from the late frosts, but these fruits
will return almost an average crop
despite the cold weather. Peaches
and other lac fruits. according 10
Mr.. Batty, give promise of a Leavy

PRICE STARS IN
TRIANGULAR MEET
Pullman High School Wins from
ColfaX High and w. s. G.
Props. in Close and Ex-
citing Meet.

Ivan Price again demonstrated his
value as an athlete to the Pullman
high school last Friday when, in
competition with athletes from Col
fax high school and the elementary
science department of the State Col
lege, he finished first in four of the
Is events, as well as taking one sec
ond place and one third, for total
of "a points. The meet was won by
Pullman high, with a total of so "
points, the Props, taking second
with Az n and Colfax third with Al.
The meet was close and exciting
from the start, and with only three
events left on the program, the high
hurdles, broad jump and relay, only
u points separated the three
teams. Pullman took the lion S
share of the honors in the two form
er events, however, and rolled up a
comfortable margin of victory. Sew
eral records, notably the perform
ance of Parker of Colfax in the mile,
Colvin of Colfax in the half mile,
and Price of Pullman in the broad
jump, were remarkable for high
school athletes, and augur we'll for
the chances of the winners in the big
interscholastic meet to be held here
May IA. Melcher, the Pullman
yaulter, was forced to go only nine
feet to win his event, but a moment
later cleared the bar at 10 feet 6
inches in an exhibition jump.

and proved by statistics that the rail-

gonizations of the country and ar
sued that the business stagnation
vas due in large part to the inabil-
nv Of the railroads to make extern
] sons and Improvements because of
a lack Of funds. This, he asserted,
had closed far more factories and
thrown more men out of employment
than tariff legislation or anything
else
Hs showed that railroad taxes in
Warrington are higher than in any
other state of the Union, despite the
fact that the population is less, and
that there are large areas of I'M
productive country and heavy noun
4 tain grades, which increase the cost
Of operation. He argued that while
In years gone by, the voters had rea-
son to resent the activity of the rail-
roads in state politics, there is no
longer any cause for such resent
ment, as the railroad lobby is a
thing Of the past and all that the
companies now ask is fair treat
Enent and freedom from unjust and
unnecessary regulation. He asserted
that the O.-W. r. G N. Co. is not
earning enough to pay interest on
its stock and barely enough to keep
kup the interest on its bonds, despite
the TACT that 1t has inaugurated a
system of rigid economy in every
department and is saving money on
every drop of oil and shovel of coal.
IN very interesting way, he de-
sfi0ed some of the methods by
Ehleh safety, economy, and eff
