The play "Maruahla" Is brond-new;
In fact, it waa tried out but a fortnight
ago In San Francisco. Rlda Johnaon

and delicious play of words. The acrnes

usual and to-be-expected "dope the

Mr. Olcott playa sympathetically, and
appeals directly with his friendly
smile and Impromptu pleasantries. The
construction of the play affords him
ample opportunity for bursts of mel

relish. His latest aonga are "The Girl I

month ago. Manure and stable refuse

vermin of all kinds. Including fleas

SEATTLE, Wash, July 25. (Special.)

the Oregon-Washington Railroad
Navigation Company, authorises a re

placing this city am Tacoma on the

the transportation buroau of the Cham
ber of Commerce and the Tacoma
transportation bureau will Join forces
ln asking the Interstate Commerce
Commission to compel the transporta
tion company to establish equal rates
to Portland points on Puget Sound. .
Puget Sound millers are angered at
the action of Mr. Miller in repudiating
the new rates after he had authorized
W. D. Skinner, general passenger and
freight agent of the O.-W. R. & N.
Company, to announce the reduction.
The flour men and grain exporters
pointed out to Mr. Miller that rates on
flour, oats, barley, feed and practically
every other commodity except flour,
from points In the interior along the
O.-W. R. & N. Railway are Identical
to Portland and Seattle and they be

the Interstate Commerce Commission
that the road la discriminating in favor

Local Hour millers say that the only
opposition to the reduotlon In wheat
rates came from T. B. Wilcox, of Port
land, considered the largest individual
factor In the Northwest flour and grain
business. Mr. Wilcox la opposed to
any reduction ln rates to Seattle,
millers aver, because It will divert a
large amount of wheat to Seattle and
open up portions of Oregon and Wash
ington which have never been open to
Puget Sound grainmen. because of the
differential in favor of Seattle on the
