PLAY REQUIRES STR0R6ER CAST Virginian, Splendid Play, , Suffers With Georflb'keily In the Title fofe Youthful Actor Could , Not For get the Ego. It is not every j-ood story that tlmt.tliaigijiipittd in n tfry Ja npt nj ways, prnotifafile" for stage action. IIottcv "Jhgiriaian" has a plot with sufficient dramatic in tensity to form a strong western drama. It is true the cowboy ijja character that lips been workcdjfcojne what 'overtime of flaie, hut western Jtfo lias its (dinrrrCnnd 'he flaijnel slurt hero stifl eompells ournp"pluuse. There is one thing, however, about ''tho Virginian"; it must have a strong Virginian to make tho piny go, and in last night's cast, Owen Witor's hero was tho weak brother. Mr. George Kelly is a young man of good physique, but as an aotor he has started wrong; he is affected in both speech and manner; his articulation is very faulty; his voice is unmusical, throaty and gutteral, nnd he loses his audience tho moment he opens his mouth. Ho shows a Btudiedj con sciousness, in his noting. IIo must forget Mr. Oeorgo Kelly. IIo is mak ing the mistake of too ninny of our young actors soil' centered. Mr. Kelly, you must learn that art is a jealous matrons; you cannot woo this goddess and your own ogo at tho sumo time. Take the advice of some older actor ; ho will tell you where you are in wrong. Your pro fession is a noblo one, but you must nppronch it with uncovered bond. Miss Forbos as the Vermont school teacher was, mothinks, vory good, but her part depends so absolutely upon tlmt of the Virginian that sue must suffer for his ahortoouiiiiKS. The rot of tho cast wns well suited to thoir parts. Thoy are all notui-s of experi ence. Mr. Russell did some lino work in tho lust act; Mr. Conway made a Plrong part of Stove; Mr. 1 Jutes and Mr. Loydou wore also prominent in their parte. The play was woll fctngod and drew a good house, KD ANDIIKWS. TALENT ''ID HESS BUY LIVERY STABLE Clint-tort Talent and ( J.

PORTLAND CEMENT A THE beginning or tho twentieth oonlury is rightly called the beginning of the cement iige. There is no material which can be put to so many uses as the good quality of cement which is more improved processes. It is in mauy cases taking the place of steel, wood, brick and stone, and even asphalt and other paving materials. And while it. requires a large investment to equip a first-class cement plant, there is perhaps no business that will pay such substantial divi dends as the manufacture of Portland cement. Lime, shale and coal are the throe essentials, and' the. l?ogue river valley is particularly fortunate in havingMlll of the materials in close proximity to each oth.er for the manufacture of this most useful article of commerce. There is a limestone, almost pure carbonate of lime, carry ing but 40-100 of one per cent of magnesia, and a shale very rich in silica-,' alumina and iron. Deposits arc found here in inexhaustible quantities, and in close proximity to the railroad. "With the later methods of manufacturing cement, they use the revolving cylindrical kilns. The cylinders, or drums, vary in size from fifty to one hundred feet in length, and from five to eight feet in diameter. The fuel required for burning cement in one of these modern kilns must be either gas, oil, or coal ground very fine and blown in bv means ot a blast. Close to the limestone and shale are large deposits of coal high in volatile carbon, This, cbal is the perfcc.t fuel be-nad-atyery reasonaluo,rates, or tracts ot land may be boughtMiiiderlaid with coal at a verv moderate price. The Power best adapted machinery is electricity, tiiid tire . united' btates wheijo, there is such convenient and abundant "water. 'power for producing electric energy. There af'O now two electric plants and a third being built. Power is supplied both from the Rogue and the Klamath, consequently power can be furnished at low rates from plants already established, or electric plants may be in stalled on the Rogue river in close proximity to the cement materials. It is acknowledged by competent eugineers and ex perts that there is perhaps no place in the United States so well suited to the successful manufacture of a high grade of Portland cement as ASHLAND CLUB WANTS EXHIBIT Adopts Resolutions Favoring Appro priation With Which to Establish Proper EaWbiaUhe Manama.

While they waited for water thoy till got out of the ear and the governor shook bunds with ,the few who had assembled to. meet him.
