AMUSEMENTS,
"Tie Black Crook" Tonight.
The Sacramento (C'al.) Union of Tut'S-
dv, March 12, has the following notice
of tie "Blai'k Crook," which holds the
board or the Medford Opera House to
night. The Union's critic has the rep
utation of being quite n "roaster," and
company getting a good write-up from
aim ut certain to deserve it:
"The revised 'Black Crook' at the
Cluaie last night was not bo much re
vised after all. It had more up-to-date
longs, imitations and skits and hits;
otherwise it was the old ' ' Black Crook

spirits and good, its aristooratic rascal """" nttractni attention, i ne a
slid its pursued lovers; its magician
and its dragons, arch fiend and comic-
drudge, and so on. Tho new "Black
Crook" was all it was announced to be,
rich in costumery, brilliant in scenery,
lively as to ballet, and overflowing with
specialties, from modern songs and hits
to fine imitations and some really
caolce singing. Notable were J. Ed
ward Pierce and Marie Roslvn in op
eratic selections, which won tho hearty
applause of a not over-numerous nudi
once. C. W. Kelp, the low comedian,
was very clover, nml tho Donazettas,
Eorapeon acrobatic troupe, was very
superior. Better work in that line is
rarely if evor seen on this const, and
seldom, indeed, is it equaled.
What tho ballet lacked in beauty it
atoned for in grace nnd agility, and it
was quite a singing chorus also. In
short, the new "Black Crook" came
fully up to promise, and though far
from oa great as in its initial dates,
when it wan common to stage it with
100 people, it was thoroughly enjoynlile
and interestingly reminiscent.
pies were put nwny until a fi-w days
ami. when Bruce Wees, a widely trav
eled apple buyer, declared they were of I j
the Fillbflskrt variety, grown almost
exclusively in Kent. The apple is
large tinl in of cream color, lightly
speckled. Twelve apples tako up as
much room ns 3.1 ordinary ones. Mr.
Wees says the drawback to tho trees in
England is that they bear only every
third vear, but Mr. McCormnck be
lieves thry can be made to yield an
nually in this country. At nny rnte.
he is saving the scions and will inula
;i thorough test tho coining season.
HOMESTEADERS GET BEST
OF LAND OFFICE EULINQS
There is renewed hope on tho part of
homesteaders in the Southern Oregon
pine timber belt. In several decisions
rendered by the land offico at Lake
view and sustained by the genoral land
office the homesteader on lands valued
chiefly for timber received the worst of
the deal, and the timber and stone ap
plication was given tho preference. Re
cently, however, in a contest decided
by -'the acting commissioner of the gen
eral land offico, the decision was
strongly in fuvor of tho homesteader,
nnd the acting commissioner held thnt
the homestead entry should hold re
gardless of the character of tho land
or the amount of timber thereon. All
that is necessary is for the homesteader
to show good faith in compliance with
the laws governing homestead entries.
In case of conflict between a timber
and stone application and a homestead
entry, the former always dwells par
ticularly upon the' character of the
land, snowing by expert testimony that
the land cannot be cultivated and that
it U practically worthless after the tim
ber is removed, and .the effort is al
ways made to prnvo bad faith on the
part of the homesteader. Whether
these grounds are sufficient for ren
dering decisions adverso to tho home
steader is a matter that will likely be
In litigation for years. Those who en
tered the land rush expecting to secure
valuable timber lands without a hard
struggle are finding the fight for lands
strenuous, and far more expensive than
batf been anticipated. The actual cost
of a contest is from $300 to $500, de
pending upon the prieo of the lawyer
Vand the amount of evidence introduced.
