THAT CHEAP
. power WILL BRING TO
GRAYS HARBOR COUNTY

By A. B. Holloway. Montssana
Every new industry that can be
brought to our county will hold our
people with their homes and bring
more people who will build up more
homes. The farming population will
continue to have 3 good live market
that attracting so many outsiders,
shipping in at this moment, and much
more available land viii be develop
ed. Grays Harbor county will stand
or fall on this question Of cheap pow
er. There arethousands OF people both
IN the farming section and in the
cities who do not realize this obvious
situation because they are not recog-
niznig the tremendous energies now
shown and at this moment at hand in
the enormous ships loading in our har-
bors and the great crop capacity Of
our farm lands. Do our farming peo-
pie know that two or three concerns
are cutting more than q million feet
Of lumber daily at their mills? Do
our city people know that our farm
ers are dumping into cities carloads
and carloads Of milk, eggs and beef
and that the supply is sadly mad
equate. Do you city people know that
the farmers fruit trees are already
cracking down with fruit and that the
capacity Of the land in their coun-
ty to supply Is almost unlimited?
Do they know that properly trained
fruit trees here produce as good fruit
as can be shipped in from anywhere?
Do not pass by all these things in
your automobile without thought.
Stop once, '1ook and listen"
But are you, the people Of the coun-
ty going TO throw aside all these
brimming possibilities, only beginning,
BY letting these things die down Is
soon as the lumber industry Is cut out
and we find ourselves without any 9TH
er cheap power To run any other in
dustTy which viii work up raw mater
ials from Alaska, the Philippines, and
South America, New Zealand and else
where?
Let us awaken and grasp this COM
manding prestige surrounding US and
do 50 also in defense of our homes
and rights thta belong to US by sup
porting not only the Wynooche cheap
power project so far as we are able
but let as grasp for US all the cheap
power now wasting in All the waters
Of the Grays Harbor territory, the Sat-
sop, the Humptulips, the Quinault, the
Queets rivers and others.
What are these raw materials?
Alaska is full of them. Coal, oil, coal,
iron, all the metals. Fertilizer, gyp-
sum rock, concrete rock, lime, marble,
mica, logs. reindeer, fish, fur, and
many others. Then from the Philip
pines and the Orient; rubber, raw silk,
dye woods, furniture woods, jute, GU
ano. Then from South America: Pot
ash, nitrate. furniture woods, coffee,
rubber, chocolate, and many other
commodities.
Is il not very simple and open
question what Grays Harbor people
must do when we see the competition
that Tacoma can already give us by
the cheap power they already have?

ANOTHER BREAD AND WATER PENALTY
 IMPOSED ON NEBRASKA BOOTLEGCER
Judge Says He Has Been Sentencing Men to These Penalties for IA Years and No One Ever Kicked Before.

Arlington, Neb. Sept. 14 [P-Ob- viously unconcerned about the le- gal maneuvers which are being made to liberate three men at Te- kamah, from bread and water sen- tences on liquor charges, Judge Wilbur Bryant sentenced Fred S.. Dirks to 50 days in jail, the first and alternate ten days of which must be on bread and water on his plea of guilty to a charge of trans porting liquor.
 I've been sentencing them that way for fourteen years and no one has kicked about it." Judge Bryant said yesterday after sentencing Dirks. He asserted, however, that he thought ten days at a time on bread and water was sufficient.
 An appeal has been made to the state supreme court in an effort to free Max Saltzman, Is, from serv- ing his second ten day stretch at Tekamah, which begins tomorrow. Saltzman's attorney declared he would sue for his release on a writ of habeas corpus alleging "cruel and inhuman punishment"

 The action was filed late yester- day by Attorney R. c. Hunter, Oma- rha. In it Hunter said "the sentence conflicts with the universal rule that no person can be deprived of life without due process of law" He said he has abundant legal hority that life means more than mere animal existence" and "under the pretext of deprivation of liberty, one cannot be deprived of vision, hearing, an arm, leg, or digestive organs"

The members of that youthful or

tertaining other children and older

under the leadership of their founder
and organizer, Miss Frances Gutelius.
Thelma Callahan, composer
pianist still in her teens, was quite
the particular star Of the evening.
Yet she did her part always with be-
coming modesty and evident sincerity
One of the outstanding features of
the evening was the reading of a
group of clever little verse-songs by
Wilhelmina GUIDE, with Thelma at the
piano, playing her own accompani-
ments for the Five Little Verses and
Big Names" The humor and sim
plicity of these short songs is on a
par with that Of the French moderns,
and, although Thelma's accompani.
ments are still quite classic and nom
dissonant in their chords, they indi.

Of considerable potentiality. Wilhel-
nina has q real gift at this type of
recitation work; she has Just the kind
Of voice with an individual, humorous
twang to it, and she has excellent
stage presence and command of ges-
ture.
Another novel feature was Thelma' g
doll Symphony With Prologue" :"
The music of this symphony at first
hearing did not seem as original and
we'll worked out as Thelma's "Toy
Symphony" which was also on the

the piano always leading and echoed
by the orchestra at large. In the
doll Symphony" the most vital thing
was the aptness of the Rag Dolls

Henninger, a fascinating. sincere
child minus "cuteness," and evidently
using her head as well as her heels
to good advantage. She has real
gift for dancing, and her costume, too.
was delightful. Dixie Marx, the
Nanny Doll, was well made up, and
caused much merriment.
One of the most ambitious numbers
and laudable because of the fact that
the children attempted to raise their
stature by reaching UP to serious
music instead of compromising with
such works as are usually given chill
dren to play, was the chamber
music "Scherzo' from Trio in d
Minor" of Arenskys played by Jean
Westbrook, violinist; Frank. her broth
er, studying the cello: and Miss Cute
Illus at the piano. OF course 1t will be
some time before the children can
grow into real Interpretation of such
a work. but at least they are spending
their time working on something
worth while.
The guest soloist' on the program
was Lucy Dickinson Marx, a soprano
with a lovely. light voice. Last night
she was handicapped by very severe
cold. She sang three little songs
written by herself for her three little
girls. and they were received with
close attention especially by the chill
dren.
In addition to the symphonies played
by large group of children using in
struments ranging from rattles and
cuckoo whistles to violins and the
Evening star., 1926-12-14

of today believe no play can sue
ceed. 1t Is a delightful story of other
days, a romance with a swashbuok-
ling hero who favored the courtli-
ness of the gentleman to the manner
born with the roughness Of a daring
soldier. And this hero, bent upon
restoring the honor of his family
nearly lost by doddering old uncle's
devotion to a clever young woman
who yearned for his money that she
might flee to Paris with the man
she really loved, was the focal point
of interest of a capacity house.
Otis Skinner has never, perhaps,
created a finer characterization than
that of Col. Philippe Bridau. And
rarely. indeed, has he played with
fairer support than that given him
by the charming and talented new
leading woman, Miss Jessie Royce
Lands, as Flora Brazier.
One of the greatest charms of an
Otis Skinner performance, aside from
the grace and artistry of creation,
is the diction of the star. Every
word, whether uttered gruff1y or al
most whispered, might be distinctly
heard by the man in a seat in the
last row of the theater. And. as
might well be expected, the support
ing cast did not forget the example
of the star. While the outstanding
dramatic talents of the performance
were brilliantly supplied by the star
and Miss Lands, others in a large
cast contributed modestly a share to
an excellent and enjoyable perform
ance.
Otis Skinner in "The Honor of the
Family" is heartily recommended to
those who care to see the best the
modern theater has to offer.

ADJUSTMENTS
NATIONAL-Otis Skinner.

At rare intervals in the recent years
of the theater the patrons of later
generations look with astonishment to
see every seat in the house filed and
many standing in the spaces IN the
rear. The curtain rises on what is
perhaps an unfamiliar play, i'm
mediately the audience is involved in
rapt attention and at frequent inter
Yals outbursts of applause come and
will not down. Something out of the
ordinary has happened, and the
younger folk are wondering just
exactly what is the cause of it all,
while the old-timer, his face wreathed
In smiles and his whole soul glaring
out of his eyes with unusual joy, looks
patroniZingly around as If to say,
Il told you so.''
The National Theater was the
scene of such an occasion last eve
ming, and there were two causes for
it, perhaps three. One was that the
performance was testimonial
benefit. or rather a memorial benefit,
rare N these days, to the late willie"
Fowler, as he was known to every
body who patronized the National
Theater or a base ball game. And a
splendid testimonial it was-in the
size of the audience, in the excellence
of the performance and in the de-
lightful tribute paid by the star of
the evening, OTIS Skinner, who ap-
peared in a revival of THE Honor of
the Family" romant C play Of the
post-Napoleonic era adapted by Paul
M. Potter from the old French play,
la Rabouilleuse," by Emile Fabre,
which in turn was based on BalZac's
romance, "Menage de Garcon."
Lovers of Dumas and Gaboriau
were transported with delight. No
one could doubt it. And even those
whose hair is not yet touched with
the white of age and whose cheeks
still reflect the ruddy glow of youth
shared in the pleasure of a play
which seemed strangely to lack the
