DY MR. BAKER,
Announcing "Held By the Enemy," for
the Coming Week.
Starting with Sunday matinee, the Nclll
Stock company will present, at the Haker
theater, all next week, the greatest of
all war olavs. by William Gillette. "Held
i By the Knemy."
' The plot of the play to excellent and
: treats of inciaents oi tneeivu r. uu
I interlaced with a story of love that pio-
l.l i r - V
duces an effect Which Is ideal la its In
tensity. At the same time there Is a vein
oU comedy throughout the piece that is
most amusing.
The action of the play is laid in and
abeut Petersboro. West Virginia, in 1843
In the first act It is shown that Rachel
McCreery has, by a former family ar
rangemcnt, bees betrothed to her cousin,
Gordon Hay tie, a lieutenant In the Con
federate service. However, Colonel Pres-
cott, a Cnlon officer, who is a frequent
visitor at the McCreery mansion, has
fallen in love with Rachel, being unaware
of the engagement. On this fact Is based
the love story of the play. Another promt-,
nent feature of the piece is the lev af
fairs of a newspaper correspondent,
Thomas Henry Bean and Susan MoCreery,
Rachel's youngest sister.
Mr. Bean, as played by Mr. Charles
Wyngate. will be one of the most promi
nent parts in the production, the easy
mannar In which he will assume the
character of a young and energetic corre
apondent for a magaslne will be all that
it should be and will gain for him addi
tional honors to hi already successful
career a an actor.

The Wonderful Showing Made by

From being In the position of the man
who believes that "all things come to

by making constant efforts for his own
development and success, the mining in

that Oregon mines do not "go down," and
new railroads have been built. From time

It is therefore A satisfaction to be able
to add one more promising Oregon min

active work was commenced by driving a

the company to extend this tunnel, mak

of at least 300 feet are obtained.
The cropplngs, the formation and the

to the condition of the sewer emptying
Into the river at the Madison street bridge.
In making repairs to the bridge work
men for the county drove some piles
through the sewer boxes With the result
that the boxes- are now filling up with
mud. It was the opinion of th commit
tee that the county be called upon to re
pair ltie damages as It had plenty of
money on hand, whereas the city had
none, and the city engineer was Instructed
to bring It te the attention of the board
of public works.
Councilman Flegel was the object of a
good-natured volley when he brought up
the matter of the extension of the sewer
on Union avenue from Shaver to Wygant
streets. It was originally the intention
to run a lateral sewer from th terminus
of the main- sewer at Shaver street to
Alberta street. Mr. Flegel stated that
that section was growing rapidly and
that there were from 1,600 to $.000 people
there who were without sewer connection.

to prepare a new ordinance to cover th
