George Clemens and George Sheldon, two of the Idaho County, Idaho, quartet that attained notoriety through the pur chase of over I25O.O00 worth of horses, mules and real estate in various parts of Eastern Washington by alleged fraudu lent representations as to solvency, ar rived In Colfax this morning from Grangeville, Idaho, to answer to an in dictment returned by the recent grand Jury, charging them with obtaining a valuable Jack from William Chamberlain, a Colfax farmer, under false pretenses. They came voluntarily, were bound over and gave bonds of tlSOO. Sheldon said: "We made our purchases ln good faith and we Intend to pay our notes ln good Vnlted States money. There Is Jufet one peculiar feature in relation to this hue snd cry that has been raised against Clemens and the rest of us. and that is that none of these notes, which we gave in payment for the horses and other stock bought by us, is yet due, and con sequently I do not understand why we are branded as frauds. Why don't they wait until we attempt to repudiate these debts before they brand us crooks?

' NB of the few really big novels that KJ have been written, ln the past decade waa responsible tor .Sir Gilbert Parker's knighthood by grace of King Edward VII The Right of Way" is a vital human document, dealing with life broadly; touching the heights and debths of love, ambition, endeavor, what you will that constitutes the relationship of society in its larger sense. Eugene Presbrey, who dramatized the novel, has taken numerous liberties, for ln the book Charlie Steel dies after hav ing done many other interesting things which do not appear In the drama. De spite the fact that it is exceptionally well-acted, the play is like most book dramas, something of a disappointment. It is seldom, however, that we are privi leged to witness the consummmate dis sembling of two such fine artists as Guy Standing and Theodore Roberts ln the same production. Standing's "Beau-" Steel Is a master work of naturalism, particularly ln the first act. In which b is at his. best. Mr. Standing is a cor dially remembered local favorite, having been leading man at the Baker during a memorable engagement five years ago. Since then he has not appeared here, but Portland has not lost interest in him. He has developed wonderfully since his former engagement, although then recog nised as an actor of unusual attain ments. His work In "The Right of Way" has advanced him to the first rank among American leading men. As to Theodore Roberts, for years roremosi cnaracter actor, one of three or four best in this country- the his career during the past quarter of a cen tury Is a matter of dramatic history. He has appeared ln Portland many times and has never disappointed the most exact ing audience. His Joe Portugals is a wonderful study in character. In ap oearance. mrrifl tr facial reading of the lines he absolutely sinks uis uiuiTiuuiuiy into tnat of the French Canadian riverman. whose doslike fidel Ity makes the part a conspicuous figure .In current theatricals. His rendition of ine patois !s in Itself an achievemem note. These two really great actors make "The Right of Way." It is essentially a play In which men dominate and the women of the cast are given little to do. Paula Gloy as Suxon, the barmaid. Is the most capable actress of the company.

For the first race the Alaska Tele phone & Telegraph Company strung wires and placed operators at various points along: the route and the pro gress of the teams was flashed back and forth from Nome and Candle, and bulletined, giving the entive popula tion practically the progress of the entire event.
