letter to her follows:. '
' , Th" general piiin' is to have every
dub In (hi- stare act as horft.esa oil some
day, or perhaps days. .The date for
each town we cannot now give, as It
will somewhat depend upon what date
the commissioners set for the county
days, as we believe It will be more
pleasant to have them come together.
This date we will Inform you of at
the earliest opportunity. If you have
a preference let us know, and If possi
ble It will be arrange, though we can
not make, any definite promises.
Your duty, as chairman for your
club, will be first, to arouse the inter
est and enthusiasm of your club, and
show them what a Tine opportunity it
Is, not only to go to Seattle together
as many as can and to be hostess, but
the wonderful chance It will be to ad
vertise your home town.
Each club can arrange first what it
wants In a social way, as, for In
stance, U can send out Invitations in
the name of your club to the Seattle
club women, or to any one you please,
and serve tea, or any kind of light re
freshments, or give a program, or any
thing you please that Is'orlginal,. ami
we hope that every "club will have
some unique manner of entertaining
its guests.
Every chib should have some souve
nir of Its town for free, distribution,
but also In some way marked as com
ing fwi the club. A friendly rivalry
should exist among the clubs in get
ting up this souvenir.
The commissioners, will pay for the
transportation of anything any club
w'fll send to Seattle to help make the
social side of the Oregon building a
success, or that will be distributed as
gifts or srouvenlr. They will also pay
all the expenses in the way of extend
ing hospitality at the fair, such as
light lnnches, t-eas, etc, that the club
may need to make Its tntertalnment a
success: Mush- will aso be furnished
In the afternoons by the commission
ers, but if you wish 'to have music of
your own It will not Interfere.
I would fiuggeat that you at once
form an executive rommttte In your
club, formulate your plan3 and get to
wfrrk. As 'fasj as your plans ere form
ed please Rend them to me that they
may be submitted to the executive

Charles B. Hanford's present tour
has been made the occasion of the
most brilliant series of, . productions
with which he has ever .been associat
ed. This Is saying much, for Mr. Han
ford Is recognized today as a leader In
his profession; one who preserves'" Its
most worthy traditions and yet who
believes In providing every accessory
that modern stagecraft can devise.
Only the best pluys that have graced
Only W bt-wt play tharhave graced

ford's interest. This season he will
present a series of resplendant pro
ductions of "The Merchant of Venice,"
"Othello," "The Taming of the
Shrew;1 "Much. Ado About Nothing"
and "The Winter's Tale." Not only
does this tour present In Mr. Han ford
a star whoso popularity might unaid
ed be relied upon to win public ap
probation, but the supporting com
pany presents a most distinguished
list of players, including that now
celebrated portrayer of classic femin
ine roles. Miss Marie Drofnah. ' The
stage settings and costumes have been
designed and are executed on a scale
commensurate with the determination
to make this season a pre-eminent one
In Mr. Hanford's career. Neither
scholarship, artistry nor expense has
been spared In securing historic ac
curacy, beauty and richness. The date
of Mr. Hanford's engagement at Stew
ard's opera house Is Monday, March
22, on -which occasion he will pre
sent "The Merchant of Venice." .
' Furnishes Exwllent Program.
Angela ' May scored a big hit last
night in every number at the Pastime

with her beautiful, voice, which re
sulted In encore after encore. Her
Impersonation of Anna Held In the
song.' "I Just Can't Make My Eyes
Behave," made the hit of the eve
nifig. In the opera skit, "A Baby
Grand." Mr. MacEvoy proved to his
audiences that he Is an old hand in
the business and is equal to his part
alongside the famous young contralto.
To hear these artists is certainly a real
treat.
"Kippy," the cartoonist comedian,
kept the audience roaring all through
his act and proved to the people be
yond any possibility of a doubt that
he Is an artist In his line. If you don't

FACTORY TO REMAIN HERE

sounded the joyous note of contin
ous thrift along man uf during lines
like the receipt of the above telegram
from David Eccles, the wizard of the
sugar world, by Fred G. Taylor, late
this afternoon. It sets at rest the feel
ing of doubt and uncertainty that has
been rife among commercial circles
iur mourns, iu mose wno are tainll
lar with Inside facts the decision of
Eccles is especially surprising. Eccles
has always been anxious to leave the
factory here, but conditions have been
such that profits were always low and
last year a deficit stared the manage
ment In the face. That the factory
was to go was an assured .fact, but
those who knew it were reticent in
saying so.
One presure or another was brought
to bear until the above telegram re
sulted. But the factory stays not always un
less Irrigation is secured. It is a phys
ical Impossibility to grow beets year
after year on the same land without ir
rigation. Will Sre-d Beets at Once.
The Amalgamated Sugar company
recently purchased enough alfalfa seed
to seed Its entire beet field holdings.
The message today reverses plans and
every possible energy will be exerted
to prepare the fields for the beets as In
other years. The factory will run,
the Industry secured after hard labor
will remain through the generosity of
David Eccles In allowing another ten
tative year's life and now It Is only
right and proper that Individuals of
the county raise beets according to
their conveniences and ability.
Had the factory been removed an
Industry with a payroll of considera

ible, discontinued further survey. Now
the farmers are anxious to know Just
where the main canal and principal
laterals are to be located and are
willing to meet the expense them
selves. At the mass meeting held
here today, such steps were generally
discussed and accepted as opportune.
The many farmers present outnumber
ing the attendance at Allcel, united
agreed to meet this assessment and to
transfer promise Into cash . next Sat
urday. forestall OutMldc lTorits.
The feeling prevalent here today Is
that In the near future, some outside
promoter Is going to carry out the
project on the Sandrldge, and unless
the farmers care to be held up for
higher prices and throw profits to out
side capitalists, they had best get In
the band wagon with he co-operative
scheme now being worked out.

their opinions that consummation of
