RICHLAND, Jan. 5.-The body of
Max Durham, accompanied by his
widowed mother, Mrs. John Durham
was brought to Richland Wednesday

Max Durham, age Il, was born and
reared in Richland but couple of
years ago went to Macon to work fol
a railroad company. In some way he
contracted tuberculosis there and his
mother carried him to Denver, Colo,

cations of the disease. The railroad
company provided both with transpor-
tation to Denver and paid his full sal.
airy for three months.
At first he seemed to improve but
soon the doctors told Mrs. Durham
that life was matter of a few
months. He died there last Thursday
A short funeral service was held al
the cemetery where the body was
Immediately taken from the train. II
was coaducted by Rev. L. b. Grant

THE RIGHT GIRL
PLEASING SHOW
Proves Decidedly Best Girl Show
Seen In Americas In Several
Years

Decidedly the best musical-girl
show seen in Americas in several
wears, although not a world beaten,
svas The Right Girl, 2 which appear
ved at the Rylander theater last night.
Coming with only the ordinary sort
of announcements, and with nothing
in advance to distinguish it fronaAthe
zmore or less sorry alleged musical
Cofferigs which. have been seen this
season, comparatively few people
were out to see the show, and a good
per centage of those were from out
Of town. But all were we'll repaid
for the time spent. The whole COM
pany could sing, the girls were ac-
tually young and pretty; the cos
tunes were really bright and clean |;
the scenery was abundant and attrac-
tive, and the comedians were fun
ny-all constituting a too rare com
bination, especially in these days of
As corn and $3.50 seats,
The story of the play is of the
usual musical comedy type-Palm
Beach hotel, girl, rich and irate faith
er, wealthy young man in love with
the girl and out Of luck with father,
etc. The story doesn't mater much,
anyway. There were three acts, each
with an abundance of catchy songs,
spicy comedy, pretty clothes and good
dancing and chorus work.
Gladys Dore, a pretty pink-stock-
inged and nimble blonde, who filled
the ingenue role, proved herself a
Coincidence Of ability as we'll as a
sweet singer, and afforded much of
the life Of the production. Dorothy
Tierney as the leading lady sang well
and filled her part capably. Wade
Booth, the young man, showed a
splendid voice for musical comedy,
while Dave Mallen, as the young eA~
justice of the peace and more or less
shyster lawyer, was the producer of
many laughs. Chas. P. Morrison, as
the father of the girl and an easy
prey for the bootlegger, was a splen-
did comedian. Other parts were well
taken.
"nhe Right Girl' proved that not
all the musical shows on the road this
season are bad, despite previous ex-
periences. Americas will have anoth.
er taste of musical comedy next Mon
day night when Irene" will hold the
boards. This should be splendid
production. It's music is tuneful an6
its lines witty. The company carries
its own orchestra and promises much

 OUR NATIVES
 BYEASTERNER

What does the touprist get out of his trip to Alaska? What are his feel ings when he beholds the Northern Lights by night, or sees strange sights by day? What are the things that he so eagerly tells his friends about when he returns homesafter a trip to this wonderland?
 Questions like the foregoing are answered to some extent every time returned tourist writes an article for a newspaper or magazine. Rev. James L. Hill, D. D., of Salem, Mass, who with Mrs. Hill spent a week in Alaska last summer, is very keen observer and man who also possesses unusual descriptive powers. The letter was published in the Salem (Mass.) Even ing News. Dr. Hill was so full of his subject that he wrote more than three columns. The following paragraphs will give the reader a fair idea of the nature of Dr. Hills letter:
 In the morning the first sight look ing from the window is by chance, a real, living stately raven" "perched upon" an ancient totem pole, ten yards in height and standing not 100 feet from the hotel. To be instantly faced with a thing so unfamiliar, causes ones to lift up his hand to find out if he is not dreaming. These weather beaten, time-worn melancholy objects present wierd strang appearance when seen glaring down upon you in the wet graw dawn of an early Alas ka morning.
 These totem poles are the most re- markable feature of the extreme north west. When the little. superstitions and peculiar picturesque customs are abolished, the world becomes less in teresting. Here is exhibited the skill of wild and positive kind, such as guides the woodpecker in drilling round holes and the bee in neatly forming it's cell. The figures with large proportion that decorate these huge poles, are not only highly colored with singular native paints but they are wonderously carved The natives possess artistic ability of the first

In one night recently a robber was routed from three houses in various parts of the city only to elude pursuit by jumping astride his waiting motor cycle and dashirg off into the night before the police could be summoned. So far the police have been unable to break up his thriving business.
