AT THE LYRIC.

There will be special production
at the Lyric theater tonight (Friday)
of Taylor Holmes in Taxi" followed
by a Sennette comedy. We don't know
any thing about Taxi" but can guar
|antee the work of Taylor Holmes.
However Manager Stoltz says it is all
fright and George never says any thing
lis good without it is good.
For Saturday and Sunday evenings
There is a booking of that darling of
|screenland, Mabel Normand, in her
--latest success Back to the Woods" a
dramatic production full of thrills.
THE scenes are laid in logging camp
where Miss Norman goes as a school
teacher, and many interesting Incl
ldents grow out of her life among the
Iloggers. The climax of Back to the
Woods occurs in an elevator The cage
Istalls and Mabel and the man she loaths
lglare at each other. Upstairs lawyers
and a judge await the two, for they
are defendant and plaintiff in novel
suit, but the principals never arrive.
What happens in the elevator to cause
the suit to be dropped is by far the
most novel and amusing scene depict
ed on the screen this season. To add
to the interest of the Saturday and
Sunday offerings will be a Senpette
comedy.
The program for Wednesday evening
has not arrived at time of publication

Maj. r. d. Gwyder, of Spokane, was
a visitor in Oroville for several days
during the past week, being here on
private business. The last time the
major visited OrOville was some nine
teen years ago, and there was very
little of OrOville in existence then, 4
few houses in the extreme south part
of town. 1t is hardly necessary to state
that he was very much surprised at
the changes that time has wrought,
for a valley that was desert at the
time of his last visit is now almost a
continuous garden, while flourish
ing little city, with all modern inn
provements has been built up where
formerly jack rabbit and cayote had
the right-of-way and the only vegeta-
ton was the sage brush. Maj. Gwyder
was appointed Indian agent of the Col
Vile reservation by President Cleve-
land, and came out to take charge OF
his office in 1883. Although not OF his
political faith the writer was among
the first residents of Spokane Falls
that the major met, and friendship
was formed at that time that mas
never been broken. There were many
hardships connected with the offlce OF
Indian agent in this remote part OF the
country in those days, when trvel was
confined largely to horseback riding
and walking. But the major who was
then in his prime, tackled the JOB
cheerfully and made a very efflcieht
official. He Is acquainted with all the
|oldtimers of this upper country,
number of whom he met while here'
and was a close friend of the late Oka-
hogan Smith. :,
Mai. Gwyder is a Kentuckian py
birth and looks the part. He mas Deeh
a powerful man, ana even
in his advanced age retains much Oh
his Youthful vigor Like most kentucK-
Iians the major is genial and hospita-
HE loyal to his friends, courteous III
his intercourse with people and "hlie
slow to anger will not brook ofiehse'
|Of course in politics he is democrat
lhut one of the most liberal men VINO
has come up out of the south.
But above and beyond all poiitica'
asfiliation the major is a true Dlue
American, and the man in his own
n,,tv suspicioned of disloyalty can
,oo,, for no support from him. the olo
ihov is now living on borrowed tlme'
having passed his three score yeais
and ten, but from all outward anu
visible appearance he is going TO con,
lime a debter to time for numoer Vi
wears to come.

Gov. Hart is probably known per-
sonally to more people in the state of
Washington than any other one citi-
zen. For years he was secretary of the
Grand Lodge Of Odd Fellows of the
state. and in that capacity he not only
attended every session of the Grand
Lodge, but visited about every lodge
in the state during his incumbancy in
tha. office. Hail fellow, well met, an
entertaining conversationalist and
pleasant talker If not an orator. Gov.
Hart is very popular gentleman, and
should he shy his hat in the ring as
candidate for governor next year the
man who would beat him for the NOM
ination would have to do an almighty
lot of hard rustling.

IDEAL DARYING SECTION.

| Frank r. Spinning, member of the
state highway commission, who was
a visitor in town with the governor
Sunday evening, stated to the writer
that he considered this the most fav-
lored section of the state for dairying.
He said we not only had the forage
plants but we could raise corn very
successfully, and corn was one of the
best ingredients going into silage. He
spoke of the ideal conditions here for
the dairying industry freely and VOL
UNFAIRLY. Now Mr.. Spinning's judgment
| in reference to anything pertaining
| to dairying is worth careful considera-
| tion. He has a dairy of his own on the
coast, and has made a success of the
business. He very truly stated that
from any crop man can raise there
lis only one pay day year. One works
land waits twelve months for the in
come to be derived from his efforts,
but in the case of the dairyman his
pay check is promptly delivered once
or twice month. The man who sells
lbutter fat has steady income, and

by the number of cows he owns and
the efforts he puts forth to secure
the best returns from those cows. He
urged the farmers of the valley to
keep at least few cows as a side line
and they will find the cash coming in
from that source very handy addi-
ton to the annual revenue from the
farm. There is every reason why our
farmers should take this advice seri-
Iously and act upon it, The most pros
Iperous sections of the state are those
where dairying is made a speciality,
land considering the advantages of this
VALLEY, as Mr.. Spinning points out,
there is no reason why the land own
Iers under the West Okanogan Valley
Irrigation system should not make
the same industry one of special at
ltention A side line on the farm so
important as this should
hardly need special urging on the part
| of any one to induce land owners to
Igive it trial.
