PROFITABLE INVESTMENT.
Four Acres of Orchard Ileitis Pro
ducts' Valued at 91200.
J. M. Wright, who came here lew
than a year ago from Newburg, failed
at The Observer office this morning,
tnd In conversation stated' that he
had sold from a little less than four
acres, products for which he received
11200 in cash. Mr. Wright Is prepar
ing to engage In the poultry business
and soon expects to have about 1000
chickens. He will also plant the bal
ance of his 10-acre tract to orchard
this spring. Mr. Wright says that he
is well satisfied with La Grande.

George Primrose, tlio
Great Minstrel Man.
Nest Monday.
Ceorpe rrlmrosc and his big min
strel company will play an engage
m nt at tin; Steward on Monday, Jan
uary 6. Thl.s engagement will again
eir-.phas-.l7e the fait thai real minstrel
sy I nut dead, as this form of enter
tainment Js entirely an American
feature, which has gradually drifted
away from the Idea of Its originator.
There was n time when the public
would stand for a so-called minstrel
show to nppi ar l;i oriental scenes and
costumes, powdered wigs and painted
faces, which vas rather charming to
look upon, because It was new, but
this style having lost Its novelty Is no
longer charming and, furthermore,
theatergoers now want American min
strelsy that Is true to negro life of
plantation days and truly a feature of
our own country. Mr. Primrose Is
the first to furnish this genuine form
of amusement, but with modern em
bellishments of a kind that enhances
the effect. The gaudily bedecked cos
tumes and white-face minstrelsy has
seen Its day. In Its place has come
the merry darkey fun Intermingled
with up-to-date songs and humor, led
by George Primrose.
The Midland Jubilee Singers.
This excellent organization of col
ored people will give an entertainment
it the opera house on Thursday eve
itng, January 9, under the auspices
of the high school. The club Is said
to be the finest college glee club now
traveling. They sing the old planta
tion songs with that utter abandon
which characterizes the negro race.
They also sing, music of a more diffi
cult type, but there are no Black
Pattls among them and no straining
liter operatic effects.

Lamp a Success.
The 45-candlepower alcohol lamp
tried by the Tribune for the past two
months Is a complete success. One
gallon of alcohol burned 33 days. At
(la gallon this Is more economical
than kerosene, and at 60 cents a gal
Ion Is comparatively nothing. When
alcohol is manufactured locally for
30 or 40 cents a gallon. It will be ab
solutely the cheapest light known.
