High price of hogs Is causing an nn
precedented rush of porkers to mar
ket not only la the Northwest but, all
over the country, and it is predicted
that there will be a great scarcity of
jhogs next year and consequently a
continuation of the high prices, says
the NewsRecord. This sounds reason
able and it would be wise to raise as
many hogs In this country as pciolble.
Wallowa county cannot be beat for
good porkers.
LOCAL PLAYHOUSES.
"Lo" Is One Long La ago.
"Lo." is all right. It Is lunny and
well worth the money, says the Seat
tle P. I., in speaking of the bhow that
is coming to the Steward opera house
Monday, November 15. '
This re:.lly laughable musical com
edy success for which O. Henry Frank
Adams and A. Daldwin Sloane are
held Jointly responsible was passed
uho;it freely at the Grand at the mat
inee and evening performance last,
evening. Two big audiences liked
"Lo"' and made the same clear In the
typical- way tha tthe Grand has.
And "Lo" John E. Young, better
known to the people of Seattle as
Johnnie Hicks, Is back again. Someth
ing or the local popularity of thi
"'S man was to be sein last night
wnen loung was hailed with delight
by everybody who remembered him
in that other Harry Askln production.
"The Time, the Place and the Girl,"
mhich memory still retains. He doesn't
seem to have lost any of his'abiltty to
amuse the public and in this new show
when Young doesm't bring a laugh,
why, Dorothy Brennon does.
MusIcally.'Lo" could be much bet
ter. The songs are. pretty and tuneful,
but it must be said that they are not
any oo well sung for las night in sev
eral of them one could not help think
ins; that some golden " opportunities
happily, the Henry Adams piece does
not depend scarcely at all upon Its
music, which Is well. "Lo" might be
called a prolonged farce. In which the
humor has been sprinkled in portions
that when tasted, tkkle the audience
Into convulsions and leave it breath
less. "
The fun of the comedy is of a very
peculiar variety; that is, it Is pecul-
lar In a comparative sense. "Lo" is not
filled with any side-splitting situations
or anything of that sort. The enjoy
men lies in the humor of the, lines,
which is shot out with alt the rapidity
and effectiveness of a gatling gun
loaded with snuff. The Jokes and wlt
IcismB come so fast that the audience
is set off into one long sneeze of laugh
ter. In other words. "Lo," is a big
town show filled with all the latest
slang which may Hound like George
Ade's but which Is not. It may not be
as clever as sland In some respects,
but it's funnier at that. And It is very
well handled by John Young.
w Comedy at Pastime.
Full of good specialties and good
music, the "Judge and the Girl," made
a bigger hit at the rastjine lust night
than any comedy yet presented.
Mr. Mornay Athey's Impersonation
of a girl preferring to go out with
her ben u,' was a specialty never ceen
here before, and it was great. The
other 'specialties were a3 good as usu
al and everybody knows what that
means. '
Many compliments have been heard
regarding the new scenery tit. thla the- j
atro. th-j act Inst night being uuu-!
anally neat.'
