"I'll take the Impulsive Judgment of the people rather than the Impulsive or the deliberate judgment of post masters." o THE PLAY WAS NOT PLAIX SPEAKING MATCH "Rebecca ot Sunnybrook Farm!" Charming story. One of the greatest achievements, of Kate Douglas Wig- gin's literary art. Play pretty well concocted. The four children do their parts well, all but their artic ulation, which la bad.,. Whoever trained them to speak could get no Jobs In a school for educating par rots. Not one person has any enun ciation to speak of but Jerry Cobb, the stage driver, lie Is supposed to have a holler that at least horses can understand. The rest mumble and mouth and telle fast . and seem to do alui6t' anything4 to keep you from making out what they are trying to say. The part of Adam Ladd by Al fred Hudson, Jr., is understandable as to the lines. Rebecca Is prabably as good as a girl of her age can be In so difficult a part. The staging of the play Is very good, and If the au dience Quid make out the lines, It would be almost a work of art. The Grand Opera House furnished two good audiences on Saturday after noon and evening. The occasion brought out a very distinguished au dience mostly of the class who wore Easter ha' and wtnt the right to cast a vote after next November. HAT WAS TOO MUCH FOR COMMON HORSE SENSE Portland, Or., April 8. A team of horses belonging to Frank L. Smith, saw a gcorgous Easter bonnet com ing down the street, accompanied by a woman church goer. They Bhled, put on full reverso speed and went Into a plate glass window. S. Department of Agriculture. .WEATHER BUREAU. WILLIS U MOORE, Chief. Jig J ,0 ' WI AS" r O- . v fuse Long Delayed.

Blood flowed In the Hoqulam strike today when special' police charged on the pickets around Lytell's mill and drove them back with clubs.- Among the 'pickets were many wo men and children. The pickets had gathered at the mill before it opened. It had been agreed In advance that they were to say nothing and do nothing to pro voke rioting. Ordered to move baok, they stood Immovable, Then the fire hose of the mill was turned on them. The pickets turned their backs and took the drenching. Rocks were then thrown from the mill yards by special police and strike breakers, followed up with a charge with clubs. " ' Sergeant Hardwlck, of the city po lice, directed the attack, threatening iae crown wun nis revolver. For ten minutes last night, at a .Sal vation Army meeting, Mayor Fergu son, of Hoqulam, a former minister, prayed for justice to the lumber mill strikers, and an early settlement "Gentlemen, when you sleep, I talk to God every night," said the mayor. "I pray for Justice against Injustice, for want against greed. The strike here Is the best conducted I have ev er seen.

TRACT HAS FIIIE VIEW ItlVERSlDE ACRES, WHILE POS SESSINU MANY OTHER ATTRAC TIONS, ACTCAM.V HAS THE MOST IIEAI TIEI L VIEW IN' THE WHOLE VALLEY. The lalest suliiiiliiiii tract placed on the market Is that of Riverside Acres, and Is without n doubt the mont beau tifully located pluf ever put on Salem In Sulem. It Is about three-quarters of a mile south of the city limits on the main river rnud and the Oregon Klectrlc extension south. It lies on the hills sloping from the road, and forms a regular amphitheatre, looking across the valley and to the const mountains In the west. The company owning this tract has laid out 4 rond through the lluiisen trnct so that one can drive south on the Liberty road about a quarter of a mile beyond the cemetery and turn west, going through the Hansen tract and coming nut above Riverside Acres, thence the road winds down through the Riverside Acres tract. The view from the top of the hills, ns you start down, and on the way down, Is one of the most beautiful around Salem. The whole valley spreads out before you toward Inde pendence and Dnllas, with the Coast Mountains and the Polk county hills as a background. It Is well worth any one's time to make the circuit, merely for the view, If nothing else. SUDURDAII Strikers Going to Tacoma. Tacoma, April 8.
