|B. F. KEITH'S-Gertrude Hoffman

Why wait for the "Follies" and pay
five dollars when you can see the
wonderful Gertrude Hoffman and her
company of dancers for considerably
less at Keitf's this week? Miss Hoff-
man created a sensation some years
back, when she introduced the spec
tacular- spring dance, but her present
offering. is even better. and demon
strates the wonderful stamina and
energy of the young lady. The stage
settings are a riot of color and it is
a good guess that Urban's sugges-
tions were followed. The opening
number. an oriental affair. shows
Miss Hoffman and Leon Barte in
gorgeous costumes interpreting the
trials of a slave girl in which she
gains her freedom by enticing her
master into a box and locking down
the lid. The well known ballet num-
ber also is beautiful. while the COM
pany of young girls put over jazz
sit up, gasp and vociferously applaud.
AS for looks. Ziegfeld never had a
group of beauties who could outshine
those on display last night. Miss Hof-
man was assisted at the piano by
her husband, Aaron. Hoffman. as or.
chestra leader, who helped materially
in the acts success. Many curtain
calls rewarded Miss Hoffman and her
company.
The remainder of the program Is an
exceptionally good one and standing
room will doubtless be the order for
the remainder of the week. Victor
Moore and Emma LittlefieId are seen
in their old offering, Change Your
Act" but from the applause it would
seem that it might go on forever.
Buckridge and Casey offer ornamental
song hits that were well received,

The petition for Mr. Bratton was filed

Winter Wheat Prospects Normal.

Spokane, Wash.-The average con-
dition of winter wheat in Washington
on April was 100 per cent normal,
the best condition which has prevail
ed on that date for several years, ac-
cording to the monthly crop report of
G. S. Ray, in charge of the Spokane
office of the federal bureau of crop
estimates. The report shows that the
winter wheat and rye crops of the
state have come through the winter
in good condition, and that moisture
is abundant throughout the different
sections of the wheat belt, with little
damage reported from soil blowing or
from heaving. Assuming the aver
age abandonment of acreage and
average influences prevailing until
harvest, the April condition fore
casts a production of about 21,784,000
bushels, as compared with 20,120,00
in 1920 and 20,428,000 in 1919," Mr.
Rays report states.

FROM HIS TORCH.

Lewiston-As the result of burns
sustained last Friday at the round
house in East Lewiston, when his
jumper coat and gloves caught fire

one of the best-known railroad engi-
neers of the inland empire, died at
1890 o'clock yesterday noon at the
ST. Joseph hospital The jumper and
gloves had been washed in gasoline
and this was the cause of the acci-
dent Fellow employees of the railroad
company hurried the suffering man
to the hospital and for a period it was
thought he would recover.
Mr. Cornett was about 40 years old
last December and has been an engi-
neer in the Northern Pacific employ
since 1904. He was member of the
of Locomotive Engi-
neers and was grievance committee
man of the Spokane local. He was
33rd degree Mason.
Mr.. Cornett has been running on
what is known as the Cannon Ball
Freight" No. 661 and No. 622, be-
tween Lewiston and Spokane and
his home in Spokane. Mrs.
Cornett was summoned from Spokane
following the accident and was with
him when he passed away. He is al
so survived by a ten-year-old daugh-
ter.
Accompanied by Mrs. Mathew
Cummings, Mrs. Cornett returned to
Spokane yesterday afternoon and the
'emains will be slipped there today

GOVERNMENT WANTS
HORSES FOR CAVALRY
WILL PLACE 156 STATIONS WITH
FARMERS AND HORSEMEN OF
UNITED STATES.

Farmers and breeders have taken
up with SO much interest the army's
plan for developing horses suita BILE
for cavilary and artillery that success
in this work now seems assured.
The Remount Service of the Quart
ermaster. Corps now has under It's
control 1856 stations which will all be
in the hands of agents for distribution
throughout the country by April 18th,
and reports already received indicate
that farmers and breeders are much
pleased with the type.
Breeding operations for the coming
season have already. been started at
| remount depots at Fort Royal, Va,
and Fort Reno, Okla. A few early
arrivals are already reported. The
BAT colts on hand are of unusual size,
and give promise of producing some
very high class cavalry horses. Of
30 yearlng colts at Fort Reno, not
one is unsound, weedy or poor type.
All of them will make good utility
horses with plenty of quality and
substance; many of them will prove
superior for riding purposes to any
thing the Army has ever had in the
past.
Dealers and users of mules are also
very much interested in the smaller,
well bred filly to be used as the dam
for the breedy cotton mule SO much
in demand in the south. This type of
mare, along with cavalary horse, is
becoming very scarce

ton will hold it's annual meeting in /

lecture by pictures but her slides did
not fit the machine, so she could not
use them.
Mrs. Wilmot expects to return to
Moscow again next year.

japanese Ministry Threatened.

TOKIO-(By A. P.)-As has often
happened in the ministerial history of
Japan the life of the Hara ministry
seemed seriously endangered by a
minor domestic question dealing with
education. The minister of education
had not fulfilled previous promise
to raise certain technical schools to
the grade of universities, and the
failure caused more protests in both
houses of the Diet than perhaps any
other problem before parliament A
compromise was reached, but at this
writing the anti-cabinet opposition on
the school question was continuing
and many predicted that it would
even bring about the collapse of the
ministry.

to be as great success as the most
optimistic hoped. Many sections Of

with view to attracting tourist
business and great crowds thronged
the fair premises throughout the
show. The consensus of opinion was
that the exhibition afforded a re-
markable opportunity for construct
i've publicity, and that the sections
represented in the show would profit
very substantially as result of their
enterprise. The exhibit of game fish
was the most comprehensive in the
