ROSEBURG NEW OPERA HOUSE Medford Theatre Mao Sees Coed Opening in Roseburg SETS FIGURE AT $20,000 Local Citizens Pledge Subscriptions, and meeting is to be Held by Ihem Tonight One of Roseburg'8 long-felt wants, a modern opera house, seems fair to be supplied as. the results of the ef forts of H. E. Hazelrigg, manager of the Medford Opera House, who has been in. the city at Intervals for the past ten days. Mr. Hazelrigg has interested a number cf local citizens In a proposition to orgiuize a stock company to finance the project, and plans along that line will take definite form at a meeting to be held at the Commercial Ciub quarters tonight. A brick structure costing, when all fitted up, about 20,000, is the sort of an opera house wb ch Mr. Hazel rigg contemp'ates. It would have a seating capacity provided for as fol lows: Main floor, 500; balcony, 250; gallery, 250. There would also he four boxe? each accommodating five persons. The building would be 60 feet wide and 100 feet long. The stage would be 32 feet wide and 34 feet deep, plenty large enough to ac commodate any of the standard pro ductions, Including even Buch an elab orate play as "Ben Hur." Mr. Hazelrigg has in view two dif ferent sites for a theatre, the loca tions of which are withheld from the public for the present. Both are 100 feet long, while one is 60 feet in width and the other 80 feet. Should the larger site be purchased there would be extra space available for WI ROOM FOR OUR. IMMENSE SPRING STOCK NOW ARRIVING DAILY Therefore, we are still offering most tempting reductions on all Fall Goods, in order to Close them out quickly. Look Into This 7 lA z&m t FOREMOST DRY storeB or offices on the lower floor, with a few office rooms above the lobby. If Mr. Hazelrigg's plans do not fail, the opera house will be built and op ened for performances on the first day of next September, when travel ing shows generally begin to appear on the western coast. He says he has so far rrcurcd local pledges for about $12,000 worth of Block, and be anti cipates no trouble getting subscrip tions for more in case theBe pledges are converted into b'ack and white and the company is organized. Mr. Hazelrigg will, of course, take a large block of tbe stock, and be tbe man ager of tha business. At leaBt 10 per cent on the invest ment is the guarantee which Mr. Hazelrigg , ho'da cut to prospective stockholders. His theatre in Med ford paid even more last Beason. He sees no reason why RoBeburg should not be a bettar rhow town than Mcd foid, because, ti us3 b s own expres sion, this city has a far bigger pay roll. He has the booking for the Klaw ft Erlanger attractions, which last season included such stars as Lillian Russell and James K. Hackett. Nothing but high ?lass shows go with Mr. Hazr'rigg, and this explains his succos3. He flg.tres that Roseburg can bland one gcad show a week, and If hie project materializes that will be the order of booking. Mr. Hazel rigg also has the exclusive rights tor thlB territory of the Considine-Cort vaudeville attractions, but he will not list them for Roseburg unless he thinks there Is a demand for them. For business reasons, Mr. Hazel rigg do'.. not divulge the names of the locei parties who have pledged subscriptions to this venture. The names of these r-rtles will be pub lished lust as soon as ihe stock com pany is formed. Mr. Hazelrigg Is con fident this will be done tonight, and If it is Roseburg can look forward gladly to a fine new ojiera house by September 1st. Revolts at Cold Steel.

"A great question Is at issue that of representative govc.rment, which is vitally affected by the primary, ini tiative and referendum laws.

Alirnlimn Astonishes Senate and Is Turned Down. Senator Abraham tried to revise the unwritten rules of senatorial courtesy this afternoon by moving to postpone indefinitely a bill as soon as it hart been iniroouceu. it ruui-- blll 234, by Hart, that met nis ais favor. The bill authorizes corporn Hons to enter uiion lands, cut timber, dig ditches, etc., for railroad, water power and other purposes. As soon n the bill had been read the first ; lime Abraham astonished the senate 1 by moving that further consideration 1 of It be Indefinitely postponed. Ev erybody sat up and began to take notice. Senator Hart, himself, accus tomed to flings from Senator Abra ham, was at first a little uon-pliisaed, hut or me to the rescue of bis bill, lie ' said that he had Introduced the bill by request of a Portland lawyer, that he did not know the full contents of the bill and that he would not like to ' have It Indefinitely postponed until he could see what It contained. "Per- -u.ii .,. o i,,.i it mvself Oregon Supreme Bencb Passes House when It comes up on third reading," he !,) "That's Just what I object to," re- plied Abraham. "Here we are on the last ten days of the session, with our work congested and a new bill Is In troduced giving corporations the right to go upon a man's property and do various things which not even the senator who introduced the bill un derstands. I object to taking up the time of the senate In that manner." Senutor Hart said he would have boen surprised if this motion had been made by anyone besides Abra ham, but that nothing thnt Abraham could do would surprise him. Senator Bingham took a shot at Abraham by saying thnt if the latter is concerned over the congested con dition of the senate's work, he should not have taken up so much time In discussing the Sunday rest bill thin morning. Abraham was the only senator voting for his motion. ' Abrnlmin's Dobuto Preceding Defeat of Sunday Hill. "Are you hypocrites or sincere when the morning seslsons are open ed with prayer? Do you actually be lieve In God and his presence?" de manded Senator Abraham, pointing hie finger at his colleagues thlB morn ing which advocating the Sunday lid bill. "More than 200 times have 1 prayed with Senator Hedges when we were at Bishop Scott'B academy," "I don't think I am a hypocrite be cause I do not believe in Senator Ab raham's bill," replied Hedges. "The trouble with the senator from Doug las Is that he thinks we are lost and forever damned unless we agree with him." Chairman Hart ,of the Judiciary, sntd the bill would not be approved by the people, as it was not good for the state and wus too drastic. "The judiciary committee," Bald Abraham, "would like to see the last verso in the Book of Revelations tacked onto the code and statutes. rills Is a Sunday bill, but not the Billy Sunday, and I wish ho could come here and stir up some of you fellows. The senate hns turned down several of the Ten Commnndmouts this session. Remember and keep holy the Sabbnth day. Shall the the aters of Portland destroy the Sunday law of the whole state? This is not a question of law, but of common sense and I do not accuse the judi ciary committee of bnvlng common sense." Upon this. Hart filed with the rec ord, petition protesting against the Sundny law elgnod by Abraham b con stituents. Senntor Selling Bald he beliovcd lu observing Sunday as a dny of rest, but he did not believe in a law com pelling othct'B to observe It If they did not want to do so. Changes In Game Luw.
