LAST snow
GOOD TOO
EXPRESS RATE WAR.
At last the country 1 being aroused
on the matter ol exorbitant rate of
the express companies, and a deter
mined war la to be waged by hlpper
for the purpose of compelling theee
common carrier to bring their ched
ule of price within the bound ot
reason.
The Interstate commerce commls
elon ha taken up the Bubject, and at
the present time Is making a rigid
Anamination regarding existing con
ditions. An examination is being held
In Denver involving the rate charged
by the varloua express companle both
east and west from the middle state
and the far west, and the outcome will
be watched with much Interest by
parties concerned everywhere.
Of all corporation doing bunlness
with the public, the express com
panies are the most grasping. This
ha been going on for years, and noth
ing waa said about it until within the
paat few months. That their de
mand are excessive everybody con
cede, when their attention I called
to the aubject, but nothing has ever
been done to compel them to release
their grasp on the throat of com
merce. The railroad have caught it
.on every hand, but strange to relate.
the chief robber of all ha been en
tirely lost sight of. Now that the sub
)ect ha come up and the member of
the Interstate commerce commission
understand the true conditions. It Is
to be hoped that the matter of ex
nress rate will be placed on a more
reasonable basis. Eugene Guard.
With enough changes to make the
evening full of attraction to those
who went both nights, the Elks' min
strel was given last evening for the
last time.
All the Jokes were new and several
song feature that were withheld the
first evening, were heard last night.
These included songs by Messrs. Mil
ler, J. B. Gllham and F. C. Bramwell.
These were each of a high class order.
New victims suffered at the hands
of the Jokers and a In the evening
previous fun and mirth -prevailed
throughout, except only at auch time
aa musical number of classical swing
broke the run of fun and kept the
audience In rapt attention by virtue
of the talent being exhibited.
The house was comfortably filled.
The lights were defective again last
evening and during the Roman Trav
esty, Archibald wa hot simultane
ously with the disappearance of elec
tric light. The gladiator waa equal to
the occasion, however, and failed to
"die" until light had been brought on
the scene. -,
The scenic curtain drop to the finale
of the opening was even more spec
tacular last evening than the evening
previous. The Observer waa in error
last evening In stating that Mrs. Dra
per posed for the light. It was Miss
Nell Morton of this city. The slight
accident to the curtain the first eve
ning marred the effect (lightly, but
last night that waa remedied and the
final wa a' much more pronounced
feature the tost time.
