Peoule Demand Amusement ' There is no no use trying to de ny the fact that many people like amusement rather than instruction, and they prove the stateraemnt by their actions, very sagely says the Baker City Herald. Last night one of the best shows on the road held forth at the Baker Theatre and the result was a crowd ed house. But there was really no . thing to the show but goqd, , clean fun, and there was plenty of that. A few nights ago Bishop Scaddlng,' one of the truly great men of the , West, delivered a lecture In Nevlus ! Hall on the "Life of Christ" and he did not have more than two doz- en people to hear him. His enter f tainment was instructive, it was up lifting and worthy of the support of everyone. The show we speak of was a production full of laughter, foolishness and good nature. While It received applause In quantity and was the talk' of the town, Bishop " Scaddings' lecturo was scarcely men tioned next day following Its dell ? alt i 15c Tomatoes - -15c Carnation Cream 35c Vanilla Extract -25c Vanilla Extract 25c Crescent Baking Powder 7 Bars Diamond C Soap -Q Arm and Hammer Soda -15c iowels - g-" V 1 Local View Postcards Men & Ladies 50c & 65c Underwear Gnat Bargains in Crock ry, Glassware, China & I Hois i trdSSSSM - lec - 10c 28c - 21c 19c 25c 6c 11c lc - 9c Tinware Yet the biBhop had put more work on his lecture, studied harder, con sulted more authorities than most of the Shakesperlan actors to Bay nothing of the burlesque shows such as the cue that 'delighted two-thirds of Baker's population. i The lesson drawn from this is ve ry plain: People will be entertains 1 and amuBcd rather than listen at- Jkentlvelly to a deep and' uearned .talker .handle .a subject. There Is no use to criticise or rail or rant about this condition of affairs, it exists and what are you going to do abuot It? : Pome ,newspK.r 'jtoJH'of Taftfs visit to the coast and in mentioning his appearance, his addresses and the reception accorded hlni offered the last trip of Roosevelt In' compar ison, drawing the conclusion ,thut Roosevelt was an entertainer whl'c Taft was more of the nature of a Jurist. And the conclusion drawn , was that the people followed Roose yelt and Warmed up to him because be was an entertainer whije Taft's reception was almost chilly. This Is but another. Illustration of the desire for entertainments. An other example: The local minister works hard on his sermons, reads his bible to a studious manner. He faces a mere handful of faithful churchgoers on Sunday morning and wonders why people do not attend church. Then a slang dispensing bishop happens In calling himself an evangelist. He raves and roars and swears; talks on dellcato sub jects, and holds meetings for men only and for women only. He may cany a singer. What is the result? People turn out by thousands; they applaud him. dine rim and almor,t fall at tls feet and worship him. This (s another form of entertain ment rather than genuine thought. A The past month ' had witnessed a very active condition of the real es tate market and quite a numberof Important transfers of property have been made, notably the recent pur chase of 520 acres by P. C. Lavey of Portland at a cost of $65,000, says a Newberg, Ore., dispatch. This body of land is three miles from the city In the Chehalem Valley district and Joins another recently platted tract of C00 acres. Mr. Lavey has his en gineer on the ground making surveys for laying out all this area Into or chard lots for apples and other fruit. Intending to plant It this spring with fruit trees and English walnuts. Planning to increase the fallliifi lobster supply, the United States Fisheries Department will trans plant n carload In the waters r Yaqulna Cay. Whether the loV slers will thrive there Is not known but it is though conditions are right for them. Lobsters 'demand a rocky bottom, without silt deposited by ttie nearby rivers, which is the case at Yaqulna. This is tho reason assi gned for the failures of experiments made heretofore In trying to grow logsters in Pacific waters. Senator Bourne has been agitating the mat ter and has secured the promise of Fish Commissioner Bowers to make the experiment at Yaqulna. Our anti-meat strike Is not with out precedent. In Germany several years ago a similar movement was successful In bringing about a re duction of prices. It Is a new thing lu this country, hovever. Just what result the prevailing high prices or necessities will have on future leg islation Is a problem that Is being given careful consideration not only by politicians but financiers. So cialism has been dormant in this country for the past three years but It might take advanced strides by trust prices oa everythtefc. cent, states an Exchange. As an Index to the unusual growth of business In and around Vale dur ing the past year, these figures from the books of the Oregon Short Line railroad branch office here are sig nificant. During January, 1909, the gross receipts at the office here for freight were $3600; the gross re ceipts for January. 1910 were $24,938 an Inoease of more than 1000 per An event that is of wide interest is a complimentary banquet to be given Judge George H. Williams, Oregon's grand old man on his 87th birthday, March 27 at Portland. As Attorney General in Grant's cabinet and prominent in the nation's his tory throughout his life, Judge Wij-: Hams commands the respect and af fection of all Oregonlans and the most prominent people of the city are proud to show him honor. 4 A With feeding grounds covered with snow for the longest period in 20 years, bobcats, coyotes and lynx have been numerous In the country con tlglous to Bristol, Wash., this win ter. Sunday three coyotes blocked the Johnson Board, one mile north of Bristol, only moving to the sides of the road wheu a horseman passed and when shot at merely keeping it of gunshot range. , It has become such a safe prece dent that whenever the foreman of a printing offlce calls for a few lines to fill a certain space In the closing of the forms for the news editors to simply say that Dr. Cook has been seen in a certain European city, Id entlfled by an American tourist. There is little danger of being caught is Dr. Cook is keeping migh'.y quiet .liese days. ' ' A new Grand Army post will be j mustered In at Montavilla next I Thursday. The new post will be known as McKinley post No. 45, and will be mustered in by Commander J. It. Shaw, Department of Oregon G. A. R., assisted by members of his olTlclal staff. O. II. Prink is commander-elect of the new post which starts off with 20 charter members. The city council of Bozeman, Mon tana, makes an annual appropria tion for the purchase of flowers w.d their distributing through the trains that pass through the city. Every passenger gets a flower at Boitman, and the city pays for It They have their parka and their flower houses. They make It a p-.dnt to raise flowers enough to keep ap the supply all the year, and the rail way company co-operates to the ex tent of making the distributions. 0. B. k S. TIMETABLE, Wert Bo j td.
