scored an individual hit with their
dancing. Garry M'Garry is noted
screen star, demonstrated that he has
also exceptional talent as an actor and
dancer and Miss Thurston is a remark
ably pretty and graceful danseuse.
Four native Hawaiian musicians con-
tributed their native songs with haunt
ing harmonies, adding 20 the attrac-
tiveness of the production.
Two clever variety teams on the
new bill divided the laughmaking
honors about evenly. Laurie and Bron-

amusing characteriZatlons OF type OF
character, male and female, indigenous
to the metropolitan and cosmopolitan
cities. Their songs, dances and pat
ter kept their audiences in roars of
laughter. Equally successful In stir
ring gales OF mirth were Sampson and
Douglas, whose sketch is distinctly
original.
In a musical song and story offer
ing. with special scenic setting. the
Cheyenne Minstrels furnished an album

fective.
The new motion picture displays in

The Birth of n Nation"

During the last engagement of D.
W Griffiths The Birth of a Nation"
in this city nearly as many people
were turned away as saw this great
spectacle. SO many have been the
requests for its return that a fare
we'll enga cement has been arranged
for at the Academy of Music. This
return visit will be for a week be-
ginning next Monday, with daily
matinees.
This magnificent photodrama has
done much TO show to the North the
real South of Civil War and Recon-
struction days. Rupert Hughes, the
novelist, after seeing The Birth OF
a Nation said: Il have done the
I South a cruel injustice. They are all
dead, those cruelty treated people. but
! feel now that | know them as they
We're; not as they ought to have been.
but as they were; as l probably
should have been in their place. I
have seen them In their homes. In
their pride and their glory. and I
have seen what they went back to. l
understand them better"
Mr.. Hughes was so impressed that
he wrote a magnificent tribute to the
spectacle. rare among literary annals.
as they touch the stage, and worthy
! OF a place alongside the essays Of
Addison, Hazlitt and Leigh Hunt
! The drawing of so brilliant tribute
| from a literary man of the distinc-
| ton of Mr. Hughes is only one of the
unimasinable triumphs OF photo
drama that has so rudely shaken all
theatrical traditions.
| Not only has The Birth OF a Ma
/ ton" obliterated the old Mason and
/ Dixon's line. but 1t Is showing abroad
what Americans can do in time Of
stress. At the old Drury Lane The
alter in London. at the Teatro del
! Opera in Buenos Ayres, and at the
Theater Royal in sydney Australia
1t Is winning the same triumphs that
! 1t has all over the United States and
| Canada. 1t Is in truth a world Wi e

VIRGINIA OYSTER CR0
IS ESPECIALLY Fine
Commissioner Parsons Thinks Heavy
Rains Responsible For Biight In
Maryland Waters. N

Norfolk. Va, Sept. est has been
many years since the Virginia oysters
were in as good condition as they are
today, according to a statement made
by John s. Parsons, State Commts-
sioner of Fisheries. discussing the
heavy losses to Maryland tongers ana
packers by reason of the discovery OF
immense areas of dead oysters IN
Chesapeake Bay on the west coast
above Cedar Point and in the upper
bay.
There is no possibility of the causea
of these unusual conditions in Mary
land not yet determined. being traced
to Virginia oysters. declared Mr..
Parsons. because of the latters'. ex.
ceptionally fine condition
1t is estimated by the packers OF
Baltimore than already the loss "a
Maryland tongers and packers has
reached $4,000. 900. with greater loss
to follow.
Mr.. Parsons theory Of the dead
oyster situation in the beds Of the
Chesapeake. in Maryland waters, II
that the heavy rains Of the summer
emptied so much fresh water into
the bay that the death of the bivalves
followed as a natural result Fresh
water in quantity will kill salt water
oysters. In Virginia oyster waters.
the rains apparently provided just
enough fresh water to fatten the oys-
tiers. N
Mr.. Parsons will leave tomorrow
for Richmond. where he will attend
to a number of matters in connection
with his new Office as game commits

BOUGHT A BIG RANCH.

DIR. II. J. Smith, of this place closed
a deal late last week for the purchase
of the John McFee farm of 440 acres
three miles east of Melrose, the pur-
chase price running well up toward
$4,000 The deal was made through
A. V. Ball, real estate dealer of Peck,
and is considered as one of the best
buys of the season. DR.. Smith says the
place is well improved, having large
new barn and silo, good fences, out
buildings, abundant water and pasture,
and the farm land is nearly level and
very clean. The place is an ideal stock
farm and the former owner was in the
habit of turning off couple of car
loads of beef cattle and from hun
dred to a hundred and fifty head of fat
hogs each year. A new grade which is
being built up thr-canyon from Peck
will place the farm within four miles
of that place and on an easy grade and
will add materially to its value.
DIR. Smith is elated over his purchase
and says it comes nearer to being ex-
actly what he has wanted in the farm
line than any place he has heretofore
seen. He has not yet decided whath-
er or not he will go onto the place
himself or turn it over to brother to
operate, but will decide within the next
few weeks.-Cottonwoo Chronicle.

TO oRoF1No FOR TREATMENT.

Martin Moe, a young man of the Red
River section, was brought out from the
mountains the first of the week and his
mental condition looked into. 1t seems
about several weeks ago while diving
in the Red River he struck his head
on a rock which resulted in an ugly
scalp wound. OF late he has been act
ing peculiar and in such way as to
alarm his friends who connected his
actions up with the injury to his head
in July. An examination was made of
his mental conditions Tuesday by Doc
tors Rains and Stockton and as a result
he was ordered taken to the sanitarium
at Orofino for treatment. However, 1t
was the opinion of the examiners that
his mental condition was not due to the
injury received several weeks ago as
there was evidence brought out during
the examination tending to show he
had suffered in times past.
