WONDERFUL REVIVAL
 THE TWO ORPHANS

In this generation when plays are day, and die in an evening, it is somc- thing out of the ordinary to see | drama like "The Two Orphans which has held audiences spell-bound since it's introduction back in the early 5eV enties. A packed house greeted it at the Lyceum last night and every oN9 in the audience went away convinced that this old play is destined to live many years to come. It has every thing in it's favor,-scenery, lines, sit uations It has the heart interest stuff, the grip that holds throughout seven acts of intense drama, and there IS enough comedy to relieve the tense sit uations After seeing the light eph- emeral things served up for drama m a day becoming trite with poor plays this is a treat. To miss The Two Or phans is to miss one of the greatest of the old plays that thrilled genera tions past and gone.
 Maurice Futile the scenic artist for the Alfred Cross players has struck the zenith of his career in the paint ing of the first act of The Two Or phans" Tn that scene is shown the railroad station in Paris at the Place Point Neuf, where two orphans arrive on the beginning of their stormy Ca reers In the background is shown a glimpse of the Seine, d bridge going over the famous old river and the wonderful mansions on the other bank. This back ground has been pronounced by art critics as one of the greatest scenes ever painted for the American stage. The drop which MT. Futile painted will not be destroyed by painting other scenes on top Of it., as is the case in most works of this kind, but will be sent on to New Y Ork to the producers who plan to revive ''The Two Orphans" next year in ttn all-star production. Another scene painted by this gifted artist is the Gar den of Bel Aire', at midnight. This is the second act A row of Japanese lanterns artistically strung across tne stage lends an air of entertainment to the beautiful scenes where the Mar quis is entertaining. More than tWen- ty people, ladies and gentlemen of Ilte court, are shown in this act, all ln elaborate costume. The third great scene of the snow is presented in the fourth act when the Place St. SulphlCc is shown in a snow storm.
 Kendall Weston the producer of this play has followed every line and situ- ation set down by Kate Claxton who made the part of Louise the blind girl famous Julie Herne has this part ana does admirably well in the patheti" role. Dora Booth plays the part of the foster sister. Alfred Cross is seen lII two roles, first, as Pierre, the cripple, and again as the Chevelief. Mrs. Cross who plays under the stage name of Florence Hart, is playing two roles also, the Countess and Sister Genc- vieve. 'The Two Orphans is by far the best thing the Cross players have ever attempted since their advent here. It is the one big treat of the season.

HAWKES. REPORTS
ROAD DAMAGE SMALL

County Commissioner Hawkes., who
in company with Commissioner Han
mum and Gus Miller last Thursday
made an official inspection of the Co.
lnmbia river highway in this county.
reports that the damage by slides will
be far less than anticipated by the
most conservative estimates. Commits
sioner Hawkes. says that the entire
road between the Multnomah county
line and Viento can be made ready for
travel at an expense not to exceed $400.
Two road districts in the west end of
the county, in which the Columbia riv-
er highway is the only thoroughfare,
have a fund of .more than $4,000. Sc
cured by regular road levy. This entire
sum will be expended in improving the
highway.
The Cascade Locks district has levied
a special assessment that will raise
$1,000. Officials of the Wind River
Lumber Co., claiming that the special
levy was carried by but single vote.
will protest payment. s-1. sr
County Judge Stanton believes that
the lumber company. since it failed to
appear before the board of equaliza-
tion. is too late with its protest. The
O.-W. r. & N. Co., which will pay a
major portion OF the special tax, is
making no protest.
The county officials went from here
to the Multnomah county line by train
and walked back from that point to
Viento. making a thorough investiga-
tion of damage done by winter storms.

RECORD RAINFALL
Is ESTABLISHED

A record rainfall has been established
here this year. According to the rec
Ords of E. W. Birge. cooperative OBJ
server of the United States Weather
Bureau, the total precipitation from
January / to March 25 was 1892 inches
lacking hut three and fraction inches
of reaching the annual rainfall for the
county, which is % inches. Last year,
when the winters rains were below
normal, but All inches of precipitation
prevailed here during the months of
January, February and March. MIR.
Birge's records show that since March
$50 inches of rain have fallen. The
precipitation last Friday night was
Las inches.
The old adage, "The more rain. the
more rest." has passed the point of a
joke with local orchardists, whose
spring work has been seriously de.
layed. Pruning for the most part will
have to be abandoned. Last week hun.
dreds of barrels of spray were hauled
from the city to orchard communities,
but application has been prevented by
the continued rainfall. The orchardists
condole themselves with predictions
that dry late spring and summer
season, condition devoutly to be de-
sired, will follow. With warm dry
weather prevailing throughout the
growing season, the fruit is affected
but little by fungus diseases.
