salaries. The only persons benefitt
ed are the hotel and restaurant men
of La Grande.

bound train leaving La Grande at
12:45 p. m. or threa hours later than
heretofore. It leaves Wallowa at
4:45 and Enterprise at 6:00 p. m. or
two hours and a quarter later than
before. The running time from La
Grande to Enterprise--is' shortened
three-quarters of an hour. The train

Best Play Of The
Summer Season
Zaza Well Re:eived By Large Audi-
- n . . . .
inn numwiy maicn
Saturday Night
The ralu and worse threatening
3torra kept the audience at the opera
house Friday nljlu to small propor
tions, but those who ventured out
were weU repaid by hearing a very'
funny farce. Are You An Odd Fellow T
St was a laugh from start to finish.
The best play and the best played
of any production of the summer
season of the Ethel Tucker Stock
company was presented to a large
audience Saturday night. Zaza is the
'.eaat objectionable of the so-called
problem plays, and ailde from the
French view of that which for want
of a truer name, is called love, the
play is clean and carries a morafl
protuberant enough foran English
audience. Miss Tucker ' was clever.
at times fascinating and at all times
Interesting in the title role. Her
support was goad, Miss Mandeville
was sprightly and natural as Alice,
vl Is Heaton played well the ungraci
ous part of Zaza's aunt, Miss Brown
the double role of Florianne and Mme
Du Fresne, and Adllne Fuller that
of Zaza's maid. .
The actors, one and all, appeared
to the best advantage of the present
engagement, and little Whit Brandon
was a clever as ever.
One Performance Thle Week. .
The Ethel Tucker Stock company
will give but one performance In
saob of the three towns this week.
Tuesday night they played Zaia at
Wallowa, and will present the same
)lay at Joseph Friday night.
Saturday night, the company will
present at the Enterprise opera house
.he famous three act farce-comedy,
'A Runaway Match."
There la more genuine, healthy
omedy and humorous situations In
A Runaway Match than In a half
dozen of the so-called farces. So
good Is it that the situations,
speeches, laugh provoking complica
tions have been stolen and worked
over into more plays than any come
dies except Moliere's. Those who
are not afraid to laugh and want to
be really entertained and amused
for two hours should not miss A
Runaway Match Saturday night, Sept
ember 18

and they divided the pitching stunt
between them. Bales caught Pldcock
