Fourteen-Year-Old Girl Is Best Let

ST. UU'IS, Mo., Jlan-h !. Profes-
r 11. T. .IiIlrt':i, prim-ipiil nf the
; eighth, grade of tin Liui'iiln si-ImM at
f Alton, III., hits announced that his pu
i piJs would be given a practical course
in letter-writing;, consist nig oc actual
Correspondence with the pupils of the
M-'dfonl (Or.) school, und other schools
in distant parts of the country.
After reading letters written by his
1-14 pupils on topics of their own choos
ing, l'rot'essor MeBrea has decided that
Leila Bauer, aged 14, is the best letter-writer.
Her letter will be sent to
th prize letter writer of the Mcdford
school, whose letter to the Alton pupils
was read. Leila's letter contains a de
scription of Alton, mention of the
I'iasa bird and the cliffs of that namo,
An account of the daily work of pu
pils in her grade.
"Letter-writing is becoming a lost
'art, " said Professor McBrea. "A
jimmber of teachers throughout the
'i-c.pui.try aro trying to revive interest in
it lie art."

Oregon potatoes invade
j markets of minnesota
; The latest issue of the Chicago
. 'acker contains a dispatch from Minne
' 'itpolis to tho effect that shipments of
jtiregon potatoes have invaded that tnar
. tkt and aro being sold at a profit, ow
ning to the high prices quoted on Minue
sutft stock. Nothing is known here of
iany shipments from Oregon to Miune
:jfta, anil it is presumed the story re
efers to some small lots shipped from
; Kastern Oregon, probably on consign
intent. With the prevailing freight rate
! it is impossible to ship valley potatoes
'yn far east and make a profit.
The onion market continues quiet, but
firm. Some business at $"2.4M was re
ported. A number of ears have been
shipped south in the last few days, but
they were onions purchased previously.
Trices are well maintained nt Nan Prnn
. cisco, but the northern markets have
sufficient stock to last until Bermudas
arrive. ,

finds in tho mountains of Lane county,
Ins samples of sienna mineral paint,;
the product of a Cottage drove mill,
" that gets its supply of raw material

that vicinity some years ago. While
digging a well near Cottage (trove 12,
;v(nrs ago Mr. Simmons discovered the
d'pnsit of sieintii. which is now being
converted into merchantable mineral'
paint by the mills of the Sienna Mm-,

ufactures half a dozen different shades!
of yellow sienna paint, all of which
are said to be equal to the best grade;

AMUSEMENTS,
4 'The Black Crook."
"The Black I'rook" is to be the at
traction at the Med ford Opera House,
Thursday, March . This announce
ment 40 years ago would have been suf
ficient to create a atir in theater-going
circles, greater than the coining of
any of the most popular stars of the
present day, for at one time "The
Black Crook' was the most widely-talked-about,
the most thoroughly ad
vertised play ot its day. As a spec
tacle, and an interesting melodrama, it
commanded attention from the critics
and on account of its spectacular nature
it was attacked by the senastioua!
clergy, less liberal than they are today,
which latter fact gav it perhaps more
prominence and popularity than it
would otherwise have enjoyed. Conse
quently it had a "run" in New York
City that has scarcely been equaled in
modern times. In the present produc
tion, Messrs. Miller and I'lohu have
retained many of tho old features
which made the "Crook" so popular,
but have added many new ones as well.
So great was the success of tho revival
of this never-ending oxtruvagan.a last
senson under this management that it
has been decided to continue it indefi
nitely. Many changes from last year
have been made and almost an entirely
new dress has been given it as far as
scenery and costumes are concerned.
Several new musical numbers have also
been added.
The Faits Made Good.
Kaits the Great and company opened
a three night engagement at the Opera
House last night to a very good house,
and surely made good in all they ad
vert iso to do. There was quite a num
ber of young men upon the stage to
investigate the many strange and seem
ingly impossible feats, and all eame
away none the wiser. It mutters not
whether you are a believer in psychic
laws or not the things given there
would mako the most skeptieal person
believe that there is some hidden forces
that will respond to the mental efforts
of the professor.
The moving pictures were very fine,
the illustrated song well rendered by
(ieorge Congable. and the views of the
destruction of San Francisco were the
hint yet given here, ami were so thor
oughly explained that one would think
they were there.
The class of young men that came
upon the stage to try the tests in sug
gestion, which is commonly called hyp
notism, created more amusement than
anything seen here for a long time.
The professor is certainly a wonder in
his chosen profession.
There will be an entire change' of
programme tonight along the same
lines.
This afternoon at 2 : .111 Professor Fait
hypnotised a larlv in the window of
the Mcdford Pharmacy, where she will
remain till the opening of the opera
house doors tonight, when she will be
carried and placed upon the stage, to
be awakened at the opening of the per
f'onnaiice.
The Faits will give a mutinco at 2:.'lo
tomorrow (Saturday) for the benefit of
many who cannot attend the evening
performances. The prices to matinee
will be lo cents to children and I'.'i cents
to adults. No seats reserved at. mat
inee; Hist come, first served.
