made such decided hit all over the
country thirty years ago. Brewster
has a number of exceptionally clever
vocalists, especially among the ladies,
and undoubtedly the opera was char
mingly rendered. We wish the per-
formers could be induced to repeat the
performance in Oroville, where, we
believe, they would receive a most
cordial welcome.
One thing is certainly noticeable,
there are not so many dogs on the
street snow as there were before the
mandate was issued providing for the
killing of unmuzzled CANNES. 1t is
just as well, for mad dogs have be-
come seriously numerous throughout
eastern Washington, and rabies are
liable to appear here at any time if
every precaution is not taken.
Diamond drill operators were look
ing over the ground at the Ivanhoe
mine during the past week, and a
comprehensive and extensive cam
paign of diamond drill prospecting
will be inaugurated In a short time.
That is the system. The drills will
locate the ore, and then getting at
that ore will be comparatively easy
matter. If the diamond drill was more
generally employed up this way there
would be fewer failures in the min
ing game.
In the advertisement of the Eiler
piano sale that appeared in the Ga
zette last week 1t was stated that the
sales room would be open after 9
p. M" Such was the instruction left
with the foreman by the representa-
tive of the piaon house, who undoubt-
eddy menant that the store would re-
main open until 9 p. m. And that is
what was intended. The agents of the
house have on display some handsome
instruments and the public is invited
to inspect the same at any time OF
the day and in the evening up to Q
O'clock
Staple vegetables, such as potatoes,
onions and cabbage, have become so
expensive as to be classed as luXu-
ries. Never before in the history of
the country have prices for these
common articles of food reached such
Figures as are now charged through
out the country. Whether growers and
spectators are holding back, or there
| is shortage of the articles, is a
mooted question. Anyhow, the prices
are appalling, especially to the man
with a small income and large family.
The people here are not as badly off
as In other places in the country,
where these articles of food are quot
ed at prohibitary prices. Potatoes
here are held at $35 per ton, and not
the very best quality onions at So
per 100, and cabbage at 10 cetns per
pound retail.
