The open, 'Little Duke," will be given on Monday evening, at Fishers' opera noun", with Mrs. J. T. Ross In th title role. The opera ho been In course .of -reparation for tame weeks past, and the entire cast is composed of local amat?urs. The opera is full of catchy solo, duct and mousing 'fur uses, and being a light opera, affords abundant ppoi't unity for many a good hearty laufth. It Is safe to say that no local performance of the magnitude of the Llt'.ls Duke, ha ever been at tempted by amateur in this city and a crowded house will attest the appre ciation of the public for the efforts If the young ladles and genelemen com posing th? cast. The opera depicts scenes laid in France;' the time being the seventeenth century. The opening act shows the palace of Versailles, and the scene la indeed animated, the cour.t ladles, courtiers, pages, maids of honor and soldier in gorgeous costumes, making a scene long to be remembered. The second act shows the convent school at Lunilrllle to which the young duohess, recently married, has been sent for X period of two years. The duke in the meantime having been mal." colon )1 of a regiment, rescues her and goes off to battle. The third act shows n n encampment of the army, and among ihj incidents is a night at tack, In which the army of the duk re pulses the enemy. The costumes 'have been Import from the costuming house of Goldstein & Co., of San Fran cisco, and are elatciate. The leading characters are all well sustained and the vocal lumbers have been carefully prepared indr the direction of Mrs. J, T. Ross, whose generous efforts in many public entertainments in the past deserves recognition at the hands of the public. Reserved seat sale opens this morning at Griffin's bock store. Tha entire cast of character will ap pear in tomorrow's paper. 11IRTH NOTICE. To Mr. ind Mm. E. P. Noonan, of McGowana, Wash., December 19, a son. Holiday 1" Great Eastern SHANAHAN BUILDING mmm VA. 'J PROTECT OUR FORESTS URGENT :NEEI OF LAWS FOK KOItTIIWEHT. Measure Covering Matter to Be Introduced at Coming Lt-g-inlatlre Henwlon. George M. Cornwall, publisher of the Oregon Timoerman, I making a com mendable effort to secure the enact ment at thi forthcoming session of the legislature of a law that will prevent future forest fire of the magnitude, such as those which occurred this fall. M. Corn w 141 points out tliat the state ment of tha immt nse loss uffercd will forcibly call attention to the need of law to prevent practices which result In fires, but as yet lie has not given out any statement as to the probable con tents of tho proposed bill. He says In a Mter to The Astorian that Ore gon' timber I altrgether too valuable to be destroyed tbiough the careless ness of thowbo are rcsponsile for forest fire, And incloses the subjoin ed statement of the losses this year: , The bureau of forestry haa received a report from one of Us agents which show that ihe damage caused by for est fires in northwestern Oregon and southwestern Washington during Sep tember was much greater than ha been generally supposed. After a care ful nip through the regions devastated by the fire, William T. Cox, who wa detailed by the bureau for this work. In a conservative estimate, places the damage tn Oregon and Washington at $12,767,100. Of this, $3,910,000 is In Ore gon, and $S.S57,1') in Washington. This Includes all losses caused by the fires to farm property, sawmills, manufac tured lumber, standing timber, etc. This estimate Is based on personal ob servation In the bumed districts, both in Oregon and Washington, conferences with lumbermen, farmers and setUers, and other trustworthy sources of in formation. Owing to its nearness to market, however, much of the damaged timber in the burned regions of Oregon will be saved, and the net loss will be smaller than the foregoing figures. In Washington a portion will also be sav ed, though a smaller percentage, owing to Its being less accessible to means of transportation. Much of the are.t burned over was covered with vtrgi-i forest, mainly the- Douglas spruce, cedar and hemlock. Besides the great loss of property, 18 persons were killed and many more In jured, and Sit families rendered home less Much of the large and small game lit those regions was destroyed. . In his report the agent of the bureau of forestry Included not only the loss of life and property, but also the causes of the fires, the methods used In fighting them, the damage to the soil, and the outlook for reproduction of the forests.
