Both were interested spectators, and on the following day Major Bolles. one of the foremost preparedness disciples, in Washington, wrote the following let ter to the Seattle producers: 'I desire to express my appreciation f your production of 'Civilization,' which I witnessed as your guest last night. It la a production to which the word 'stupendous' applies in every re spect. . It certainly lays great stress upon and vividly portrays the horrors .of war and the beauties of peace. "It is to be .hoped that this produc tion may help in the realization of the desires of all serious-minded and patri otic Americans that the day may come when war among men will be no more.

That this time is yet far in the future seems to be a matter of little doubt. "It Is hoped that the effects of this picture will not be to lead the minds of the people away from the fact that the dawn of this era is not yet at hand, and for the present we are living in a world where the survival of the fittest still rules, and where the svord remains the final arbitrament of dis putes for which man has as yet found no solution. "If the effect on our people is not only to Intensify their abhorrence of war and their desire to maintain peace, but also to induce them to avoid prep aration for the prevention of war, then, the effect of the film. I fear, will be very disastrous. "It is such a powerful conception and executed in such a masterful man ner that to the average person it is very apt to convey an entirely erro neous impression from that which its creator nust have intended." From, this it -will be seen that the grudging admiration - of a proponent of preparedness has been earned by a picture, the mission of which is to stop the present war by evoking a better sentiment throughout the world. spits the rain.

The London Dally Telegraph said recently: "The prodigy comes into our musical life only too often, and in the majority of cases quickly passes out of it. In the case of the brothers Chernlavskys, who reappeared in Bechstem Hall before a iarge audience, they seem undoubtedly destined to stay. There Is no sign whatever in their splendidly vigorous ensemble, their ex emplary enthusiasm and their ever growing skill to induce till thought that they are not likely to rise from high things to even vastly higher. There is no denying the sheer ability of the brothers, they showed it In various solos by Gotlermann. Ernest, Avonsky, Tschaikowsky and Chopin yesterday; it is genuine and great."

This paragraph is from the New York Times newspaper: "An experiment was made with phonograph music at two funerals recently held in the chapel in Cavalry Cemetery, at which Father Lonergan. chaplain of the cemetery, officiated. Father Lonergan suid that the phonograph music was satisfactory, and that before the in strument was used again the subject of music of that kind would be sub mitted to the authorities of the Catho lic Church. Thousands of burials are made yearly in Calvary Cemetery, and in many .instances the families are too poor to pay tor music. It was this that recently led two women to present to Father Lonergan one of the latest pat tern phonographs, with appropriate records, in memory of their dead sis ter.

WHO S guilty? Those who are In terested In the pro and con of the prohibition question will read the case of Phair V. Drumond. 15 N. W. 636. with close atten tion. The state of Nebraska has x statute which reads as follows: The person so licensed" (referring to liquor dealers) "shall pay all damages that the community or Individuals may sustain in consequence of such traffic; he shall support all paupers, widows and orphans and the expenses of . . . civil and criminal prosecution growing out of, or Justly attributed to, his traf fic In intoxicating drinks." It appeared that the defendant, a li quor dealer, had sold whisky to the father of the plaintiffs. While' in an intoxicated condition from the liquor thus furnished. Phair had assaulted his wife, Infllcing serious injuries, which caused her death in a couple of years. The plaintiffs, who were the children of the deceased woman and the drunk ard Phair, sued the saloon keeper for the loss of support which they had suffered by means of their mother's death. The saloon keeper defended against one of the plaintiffs by show-lng that she had not been born until a year after the assault and therefore wsa not In being at the time the cause of ac tion arose. The court, however, held that the statute was broad enough to include any surviving children who had been deprived of their mother's sup port, regardless of whether they had been born at the time of the assault or not. The liquor dealer then ttefended by showing that Phair had taken a few drinks at tne bar and then had stolen the rest of the bottle of liquor and had run off with it, so that the intoxi cation complained of resulted from the stolen whisky and not from the pur chased drinks. The court refused to sustain the defendant's contention, say ing: "It the whisky sold by Drumond contributed to the intoxication of Phair, it is not material how be ob tained the liquor that completed the intoxication . . . this court has consistently held from the first that each licensed vendor who contributes to the intoxication is liable. Granted that the stolen whisky completed the intoxication, it Is clear that the liquor drunk In tne saloon contributed to pro duce It." The liquor dealer was accordingly held liable to the children of the de ceased woman for the damage they had suffered in the loss of their mother. A dry town. Some cities are voted dry others have dryness thrust upon them.! The city of Pasoo. Wash., was evidently in the latter class, as set forth in the case of State et al. vs. Pasco Reclamation Company, et al.. 1S6 Pac S3. It seems that the city of Pasco had entered Into an agreement to purchase its water supply from the Pasco Rec lamation Company, payment to be made by sv lump sum of SIS, 000. with an ad ditional $900 annually for a term of years. Payment was made the first year without difficulty, but the second year the city was dilatory or unfor tunate Jn collecting Its water assessments- and the warrants which the city Issued to the Reclamation, Company were returned unpaid for lack of funds. The reclamation company' had In its contract a clause providing that if the city failed to perform any covenant or agreement in its contract, the company might, at its option, shut off the water and this the company proceeded to do. Those of you wio have neglected to pay a water bill promptly and have returned from a hot and thirsty day downtown to find a pink slip under the door and no liquid in the pipes will sympathize with the citizens of Pasco. Some of said Indignant citizens, who were especially indignant because they had paid their assessments to the de faulting city, brought this suit against Representatives. 2? (Boss!); readings, (a). "Nathan's Flat" (Cooke), (b), "Boots" (Kipling): "Me lisande In the Wood" (Goetx); "Allah Be With Us" (Flnden). Part II Recitative and aria.

Miss Tartar's unusually fine voice and excellent singing have been highly commended by the Chicago critics. Mr. Mason's attractive elocutionary presen tations have made him many friends In Orupon. and Mrs. Gaskins' charmlns ac companiments and pipe organ playing have endeared her to a wide circle of admirers in Chicago and elsewhere in the Middle West, and for the past eight years in Oregon. This concert is un der the management of William Fred eric .Gaskins. director of the Oregon Agricultural College School of MuMt. the reclamation company to compel them to turn on the water. The court held that the 'city had a right to expect the company to ac cept warrants instead of cash, but Miat the company had a right to expect that such warrants would be promptly paid when presented, and that It was unfair to ask the company to wait indefinitely until the city would have succeeded in bringing Its collections up to date. "We do not think that the rule of construction could be extended to s.-h an extent as to hold that 1900 means warrants of that amount without suf ficient money on hand or forthcoming with reasonablo certainty to casn them. The unpaid maintenance fees may never be collected or even at tempted to be collected by the city . . and judging from the manner In which the city has collected the assess- . ments already levied, this time would be very vague and indeflnte." The indignant citizens still insisted that the reclamation company had an adequate remedy at law against the city, as the assessment was a valid lien against the property. Hut the court said: "Granting that this Is true, by the express terms of the contract an additional remedy was provided upon the breach of any covenant on the part of the city, viz., the turning off of the water, which remedy appellant resorted to In this case. The express terms of a contract cannot be avoided simply be cause another remedy at law Is avail able. ... If the cltv fails in It duty. It would seem that the remedy of the Injured property owners would be, in the first instsnce at least, to pro ceed against the city to compel it to perform its duty In the premises. The service company, having a like Interest, might also proceed against the city, to compel it to proceed to enforce pay ment of the assessments, but it had a choice of remedies, the latter, or the remedy of ceasing to supply the water." A RISE IN VALUE . . . "Keep a thin? seven years." says the proverb, "and you will find a use for it." The plaintiff In the case of Water Supply Company vs. City of New York. 143 N. Y. S. 141, found the proverb true. He was a farmer who owned about 60 acres of farm land and about Is acres of sandbank. The sandbank had prac tically no value until the new Ashokan reservoir for the supply of New York City was located In the vicinity. The site of the reservoir covered the farm and It was condemned for flowage pur poses. After the condemnation the city be gan to make use of the sandbank for the manufacture of cement In the con struction of Its dam. The plaintiff promptly demanded that his award in clude the Increased value of the sand that arose from the new use to which It was being put. It appeared that the demand arose solely from the city's ac tivity In building the reservoir and that after the demand of the city had been supplied there would be no further de-. mand (orand in that locality and that the sandbank would then again become of little value. The court, however, agreed that the plaintiff was entitled to the Increase in value of his sand, saying: "While the sandbank had no value prlox to the lo cation of the reservoir, the fact that large quantities of sand would be re quired thereafter in constructing the dam undoubtedly gave the sandbank some value, and such value was proper to be considered In fixing the value of the property taken. It Is clear that it a sandbank had been located Immedi ately outside the reaervolr.the location of the reservoir would have added ma terially to the value of that bank If there was not a surplus of sand in the locality. A purchaser desiring such property would necessarily have to pay a value enhanced by the fact that there was soon to be a market for sand In the locality and that It was the only avail able supp-ty. The same rule would ap ply where the sand Is located upon the property to be condemned."
