William Collier at Heilig Thursday.
- William Collier and his excellent com
pany will appear at the HeUlg theatre.
Fourteenth and Washington street,
next Thursday, Friday and Saturday
Bights. June 26, 26 and 27. with a
special price matinee Saturday after
noon, in the new farce "Caught in the
Rain" by Mr. Collier and Grant Stewart.
Not tn many years has there been such
a laughing success as this farce which
kept New Tork in roars for seven
months lust season. -
Here in the story of "Caught In .the
Kaln"i Dick Crawford, a young mining
engineer, who thinks nothing of risk
ing his life to save an Injured work
man, but who runs away at the sight
of a pretty face. Is driven by a terrific
storm under the shelter of a protecting
awning. There, to his dismay, he finds
the prettiest girl he has ever seen,
Muriel Mason. He is compelled to en
tertain her during their enforced stay
under the awning and he tries to be-
: lleve that he is anxious to get rid of
her. but it Is very evident that he is
in love. Unfortunately for the smooth
ness of lore's course Dick is mistaken
ss to the Identity of the rtrl, whom he
believes to be Nellie Gardiner.
When later he has an opportunity to
win a fortune by marrying "Miss Mur-
, lei Mason" he rejects the offer on the
ground of his love for another glrU
The "other glrj" Is, ef course, the real
Muriel Mason. Muriel overbears the
rejection of her hand and in ignorance
of Dick's mistake as to her identity,
accepts the offer of marriage of his
rascally partner. The marriage Is post
poned from time to time and a year
later. when she and Dick meet at a
hunting club in the Rockies, all Is ex-
f lslned and the bashful young man wins
he girl of hi choice. As Dick Craw
ford Mr. Collier has the best role of
- his career as a star.

many of his patrons. Manager Baker haa
decided to present . the famous Wall
tree t play., "The Henrietta" ; thla sea

Conditions In Middle WTest
and Rejoices at Return.
John M. Scott, assistant general .pas
senger agent of the Harriman lines, re
turned yesterday from an extended, visit
in Chicago, where he attended sessions
of the Transcontinental Passenger as
sociation. The weather In the middle
weat la a month behind the sea -on, he
said, and the crops are in a doubtful
condition in the corn belt
"It Is expected that tha weather will
change and tha heat will bring corn and
other crops forward rapidly," he said.
"There has been too much rain In some
of tha states, notably in Nebraska. The
same conditions exist in Iowa and Kan
sas. There has been cold, wet, unsea
sonable weather in. many sections. At
the same time the farmers are not feel
ing blue, and it Is expected that things
win come out an riant. The railroads
are doing a heavy passenger business
both east and west. There is a verv
heavy passenger movement over the
xi. fit n. ana union x-auino lines bl ine
present time, owing to floods along the
northern lines, ah our trains are car
rying extra sleeping cars.
"While Chicago is not a place that
suits a man who haa resided on the
Pacific coast, it is nevertheless a won.
derful city, and Is growing steadily. The
feeling in the east is extremely favor
able toward the . west. Everybody
seems to be well posted on- Oregon and
Its political events.' All intelligent men
with whom I talked referred, with-a
surprising familiarity, to affairs in this
state.'
Mr. Scott returns to the coast with in
creased admiration and respect for the
land of his adoption. - Although ha has
a very large , circle. of friends In Chi

to Oregon, and Is enthusiast la over the
favorable conditions existing here for
