Unique among modern stag offers
ings and serving as pioneer of the
new drama, comes "The Climax", a
play in three acts, by Edward Locks,
which will be seen for the first time
in La Grande next Wednesday ana
tickets are now on sale. ,
Wlhlle "The Climax" has been seen
in but a few cities outside of New
York, it is already as well and fav
orably known as though it had been
a friend of the entire country for
years. -.' : ' ;.
When Mr.. Joseph Weber produced
the play seven months ago, at his own
theatre in New York, the author Ed
ward Locvke was unknown, and the
production was looked upon In doubt.
Today "The Climax" is acknowledged
the greatest play in years, and Mr.
Locke recognized as one of the most
promising American reviewers. Mr.
Weber found a gem of purest ray se
rene when he discovered "The Cli
max. He undoubtedly paved the way
for a new class of play. The better
ment of the American stage has long
been the subject of discussion and the
answer to the argument seems to have
come in "The Climax." In the play the
author has hit upon a new theme, and
with the assistance of Joseph Carl
Brell, who composed incidental music
which forms so important a factor in
the delightful little play, has worked
it out in not only a most agreeable
manner, but as one of the most artjs
tic bits of stagecraft in a long while,
He works up to it with sound dialogue
which has ah uman quality. The
scenes have that natural aspect which
suggest life as it its lived by real hu
man belnigs and not by stage puppets
and one frequently feels that he
wajtlching proeteeding9 taking place.

Imwrtant Items of the $400,000 appro
priation from the state, which has
recently been recommended by the
university board of renta, a a bud
get of $8,000 for the purchase of a
printing plant. It is the intention to
print all college publications, fac

adminlstratJve stationery, in the new
print shop, and at the sarma time
make the journalism '. department
headquarters In the oflke. This will
give the student an opportunity to

nalism deiwrtnient on a much lareier
scale. A practical man, familiar with
both the Journalistic and printing

in charge of the plant.
. The appropriation calls for a Mer
tfcnthnler linotype, which w'll cost
In the neighborhood of $3,000; a cy
linder Job press, which will probably
amount to 11.200; probably I small
jobber; and an assortment cf type and

demands of the urilvei-elty work.
If the appropriation comes the
plant will be in running order oy the

.ONOON'S HISTORIC TOWER.
And the Egg From Which Was Hatch
ed the Great Charter. v
Richard Davey in "The Tower of
London" connects the historic edifice
with the wresting of the great charter
from King John.
King John, it would seem, though le
gally married to Isabella of ' Angou
leme, fell desperately In love in 1214
with "Matilda" or "Maud," "the, Fair,"
the beautiful daughter of Robert, Lord
Fltzwalter. ; This lady, remaining deaf
to his entreaties, was treacherously
abducted ' from- her father's seat at
Dunmow by the king's order and uut
up in the round turret of the White
tower. On this Fltzwalter made a
vain attempt to rouse the people to re
volt, but was forced to fly to France
with his wife and remaining children.
Maud once safe in the tower, King
John renewed his suit, 'but only suc
ceeded in driving her to utter silence,
which so Infuriated him that he sent
her a poisoned egg for her breakfast,
and she died early in 1215. A year
later her remains were translated to
the family vault at Dunmow.
When the news of this crafty mur
der came to the ears of Fltzwalter he
forthwith returned to England and
discovered to his Joy ihat the barons
were on the point of declaring war
against John. He at once placed him
self at their head, hoping, it is said, to
combine his personal revenge with bis
duty as an English peer and is indeed
supposed to have forced the king to
sign the great charter for the express
purpose of humiliating his daughter's
murderer. , Thus from an egg was
hatched the great charter. Whether
the story be true or false, it is a cer
tified historical fact that the barons
held the tower in pledge till John con
sented to accept the charter and af
fixed his reluctant signature to the
deed. . '
About a year later, when the war
with the harons was at Its height and
John once more a power, the tower
again fell into his hands, and, though
the barons laid siege to it, they were
repulsed by the king's men. To com
plete its strange vicissitudes during
this strenuous reign the tower became
on Nov. 1, 1215, the temporary court
of King Louis of France, whom the
rebellious . barons had summoned to
assist in the adjustment of their griev
ances. Appearing before the gates
with a large body of men, he so com
pletely awed the officials that they
handed over the keys without striking
a blow for their rightful monarch.
