1 TO LAGRANDE FOR A RECITAL
KATHLYN WILLIAMS AND
HOUSE PETERS IN THRILLING
STORY.
The clever Morosco slurs, Kuthlyn
Williams and House Peters, will be
seen at the Arcade today and tomor
row in a picturization of Willurd
Mack's thrilling story, "The Highway
of Hope," which was especially pre
pared for the screen by Harvey Gates.
Knthlyn Williams as Lonely Lou,
the drudge of a mining town, later
transformed into a wealthy mine
owner, presents a remarkable char
acterization. In her first appearance
on the screen in this production she is
seen industriously scrubbing a flight
of steps with Boap and water.
Later, when she has made her for
tune, she has a splendid opportunity
to display a number of beautiful
gowns.
The scenes of "The Highway of
Hope" are laid either in the desert or
in desert towns and the Morosco
company was fortunato enough to
fiimous abandoned mining towns in
Death Valley. This town, in the early
davs of the gold rush, was the home
of four or five thousand industrious
souls. Men lived, fought and died in
its streets and in its gambling holes.
The Tush for gold swept on and
gradually the citizens rushed away
until now there is nothing left but
vow after row of abandoned buildings
which in dry desert air are in a re
markable state of preservation, and
which are occupied but occasionally by
some "desert rat," who with his pock
burrows pauses over night in his
jcurney across the valley to hunt the
gold hidden in the distant Panamint
mountains. The subsequent scenes of
th active mining town were taken on
the other side of the range to which
the occupants of the first village fled.
The cast supporting Miss Williams
and Mr. Peters is one of unusual ex
cellence, including Jim Farley and
Hurry de Vcre.
LEGAL NOTICE
Notice to Creditors.
Notice is hereby given that the

As a special mid-summer attrac-'
tion extraordinary, is is announced
that the ever-popular Herbsts are
coming to La Grande next week to
render a recital. This wonderful duo
of musicians are sojourning in Union
for the summer and the Lpworth
l eague of the Methodist church in
this city has shown its enterprise by
closing arrangements with Mr. and
Mrs. Herbst for a recital commenc
ing at 8:15 Tuesday, July 31. It is
unnecessary to go into great detail
about the merits, of this wonderful
couple. The west and particularly
Oregon is proud of their ability; in La
Grande, for instance, whenever oppor
tunity is given to hear Ina Herbst
Wiight or Gottfried Herbst the pub
lic is quick to grasp the chance.
Their scintillating career began in
the capitals of Europe. There Mrs.
Hetbst-Wright's wonderful voice tal
ent was developed under the world's
best tutors, and her splendid grace
and exceptional gifts quickly won for
here renown in critical and elete mu
sical circles. Her tours in America
have been wonderfully successful. In
brief, Ina Herbst-Wright is one of the
most sought-after sopranos in the
West today.
But her 'husband is himself an
artist a rare artist. Ho too has
chaimed the best musical audience of
Europe and in America.
Following are' characteristic press
comment of the artists:
The violin virtuso, Herr Herbst of
Coburg-Gotha, has proven himself a
thorough artist in the big Kursaal
concerts, achieving a great success
yesterday at the soloists' concert, with
his masterly reproduction of the Men
delssohn concerto. Oberlacndisches
Volksblatt, Interlakem, Switzerland.

iln Herr Herbst, a young violinist of
great ability, we have made a very
pleasant acquaintance. The ease with
which he overcame all obstacles was
astonishing. The many chords and
octave pussages in the Vieuxtemps
concerto caused him no difficulty
whatever, and his staccato, both inthe
up and the down strokes, is an ac
quisition for which many great ar
tists can envy him many not being
able to accomplish it even after years
of patient study. Zeitung, Stock
holm, Sweden.
A most delightful song recital was
that given at Miss Harker's school
yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock by
Mme. Ina Herbst-Wright.
The first number, Schubert's "Ave
Maria," sung with a grasp and poise
of an artist, assured the audience of
n recital of unusual and superior
character. Of the succeeding num
bers, each one of which had its pe
culiar charm, perhaps "Die Lorelei"
by Liszt for sympathetic interpreta
tion, "Villanclle" by Dell 'Aqua for
remarkable fluency and clarity of tone,
and the aria from "La Traviata" for
dramatic effect, stand out especially.
The singer graciously responded to
several encores. Daily Palo Alta
Times.
Are You One of Them?
There are a great many people who
would be very much benefited by tak
ing Chamberlain's Tablets for a weak
or disordered stomach. Are you one
of them? Mrs. M. R. Searl, Bald
winsville, N. Y relates her experience
in the use of theso tablets: "I had a
bad spell with my stomach about six
months ago, and was troubled for two
or three weeks with gas and severe
pains in the pit of my stomach. Our
druggist advised me to take Chamber
lain's Tablets. I took a bottle home
and the first dose relieved me wonder
fully, and I kept on taking them until
I was cured." These tablets do not
relieve pain, but ofter the pain has
been relieved may prevent itsrecur
rence. Adv.

The old superstition that it is un
lucky to start a railroad journey on a
Friday can be tucked away with the
moth balls. Neither should the num
eral "13" have any terrors for the
traveler.
W. E. Johnston, excursion agent on
the WashingtonSunset Route, has
made 938 trips between San Francis
co and Washington, covering a period
of 17 years and 8 months. He left on
Friday 496 times. Moreover, he
made one round trip every 13 days,
and 13 rounds trips every six months.
The total mileage covered during the
above period was 3,404,102 miles. On
nn nverage of 20 passengers on each
trip, Johnston accompanied 18,760
passengers across the Continent. And
he is still going!
