At the earnest solicitation of Man ager James B. Welch, of the Frazer, H. Martin has decided to begin the construction of a building at the cor ner of Webb and Cottonwood, where the Pendletonlan office now stands, If suitable arrangements can be mace. The building Is to be complete in every detail, with stage room for any scenery that Is carried by the best attractions on the road. The latest doslgns of theater buildings are be ing thoroughly studied by the promo ters of the plan. In order to enable them to equip the Pendleton theater with the most up-to-date convenien ces. The seating capacity of the pres ent building will be increased by ful ly one-third and the accommodations will be superb In every particular. Manager Welch is to be congratu lated upon his decision to supply this need of Pendleton. The location is happily chosen, as it will admit of easlor access from the depot, in the handling of the exten sive scenery carried by the flrst-rate attractions. It Is moro centrally lo cated for the entire residence portion of Pendleton, than the present opera house and a better site could not be selected. It has not been decided just when work will begin on the building, but the plans are now being considered by the promoters and a thorough study of theater architecture and ar- OTTO MIESCKE For the family dinner plain cooking is the rule, but the food itself should be of. the best meat in particular, For that reason those who deal at our market never have cause for com paint as their meats are always of the best and uniform quality-fresh and tender. ruKgements is being made. When tho structure Is completed Pendleton will be furnished with the best theater accommodations of any city of equal proportion on the Pacific Coast. The stage of the present opera l ouse is too small to allow such com panies as the Gordon-Shay and "Rich ard Carvel" aggregations to use their most important scenery and this ren ders the performances second-rate and causes much complaint among theater-goers. RIDICULOUS WINDOW SALE KENEWIGK DITCH WILL IRRIGATE 17,000 ACRES OF DESERT LAND When Full, the New Ditch Will Carry a stream Nearly 45 Feet Wide and From Four to Six Feet Deep 30 Miles Finished. Kencwick. Wash.. Feb. a. Tho hiu ditch which it Is said will water 17.000 acres of land near this city, being about 30 miles In length. Is finished as far as this place and the crew of men which has been employed finish ing we work has been laid oft by Con tractor Burlingame. Below this place a force of mon is at work building the huge flume which will carry the water over the wide draw, and further down the river a camp has been estab lished to complete the grading of the main ditch. Yesterday was the time set anart for the turning of water into the new ditch at the hcadgates on the Yakima River. Here It was nronosed to start about two feet of water down the ditch, to allow the bottom and sides to become soaked and rendy for the immense volume which the ditch will carry. When full the new ditch will carry a stream nearly 45 feet wide and from four to six feet deep. The ditch has been well made and is said to be the best over attempted in the Northwest It is expected that fully week will be required to get water to the gate at Kennewlck. after which time the full supply will be turned on, to see if the work will stand the' pressure and to ascertain how heavy will be the soakage. A number of years ago a ditch traversing the same general survey, was completed and water turned In. It was discovered that tho sandy 30ll would not hold water and the Bupply, never became sumcient for irrigating rurposes any distance down the ditch. The project was giver, up, nnd only a few years ago another venture was madn. The outcome Is certain to he successful, but if serious delays oc rur the season will be too far along for farmers to lease land and secure crops this year. So far but little land has been made ready for water, and no laterals huve been constructed.
