THE WHOLESOME
Crescent
Owing to the very disagreeable
weathor and the hnrd rain that was
pouring down at 8 o'clock last night,
the attendnnco nt tho dramatic reci
tal given nt the Frnzor. by Miss Dor-
tha Matlock, was not nearly so large.
as It would havo been under hotter
conditions.
The entertainment was first-class
In every particular. Miss Matloak
has gcnuino dramatic ability, exhibit
ed it with ease last night, and Boom
ed 10 have further reserve, forces not
called Into action in her selections.
Her individuality Is strong, perhaps
too strong In many ways, and whllo
she portrnyB hor characters with
ease and grace, there may bo n lltt.o
too much of hor own personality In
her acting, especially In hor enunci
ation. Her solectlonB wore very
good and she has a most wonderful
memory, one of tho very, first and su
prcmo qualifications for an elocution
1st and drnmntlst.
Her expression and complete mas
tery of hor subjects wero remarkable
ano lias the true dramatic instinct
getting in touch with hor characters
and living their lives during hor im
personation, two of tho most difficult
requirements In n dramatic educa
tion.
"The Rescue of Io'fila," from "Quo
Vndls," one of the most ' dramatic
scenes in modern fiction, was given
in n thrilling manner. Tho audience
was transferred to old Home for 111c
Instant, and lived In tho historic
arena for a brief moment.
In the "Coming Out of Miss Cum
mlngs." Miss Matlock niado the
greatest Impression with her nnai
once, although tho true dramatic
valtio of the selection is inferior to
that of the selection from "Quo
vnills."
Tho singing of Mr. Zan was excel
lent He has a strong, sweet, melo
dious voice, perhaps handicapped by
too long familiarity with masses nnd
nnthoms, to havo tho proper sway In,
tne simpler melodies, but captivating,
nevertheless.
Tho entertainment was one or the
most highly enjoyable affairs over
given In Pendleton, and Miss Matlock
added many friends to her nlrcady
largo list, and Mr. Znn's 'Introduction
paved tho way for a warm welcome
on his return to tho city on any fih
lure occasion.
The nble accompaniment of Miss
Cosblo Haley was tho spirit of tho
evening, nnd her art added greatly
to the successful rendition of tho pro
gram. -Miss Matlock and. Mr. Zan left this
morning for Hoppner, where an en.
tertalnment will bo glvon tonight.

ROADS WASHED OUT.
Sudden Flooci in the -spaln and

Davo Nelson, I ho road supervisor
in tlie Dcspnln Gulch nnd Stage
Gulch country, telephoned Into the

Hnrtman asking for tools to rebuild

greater extent than the one of last

duct. Howard Is one of the singers nt the
local vaudeville, and Is tho possessor
of a small bull terrier. He Is proud
of the dog, and tho trouble all nroso
over it. Whllo in tho saloon of Baker
& Ogg somo trouble arose ovor the
dog, and tho men had a mix-up, but
wero separated. Thoy tbon agreed to
go out of tho city limits and fight It

The shorlff was notified, and arrest

I.. Rayburn, tlie marshal of I-a
Orande, was in tho city last night
while on his wny homo from a trip
to Walla Walla, whore ho went tn
take a deserter whom bo had caught
in La Orande. bnck to the barracks.
Mr. Hnyburn had a funny storv to
toll, thnt happened na ho camo to this
city last night from Wnlia Walla.
There was a party of four men on
the trnln two traveling man nnd n
couplo of Walla Walla business men
nir Pondleton bound. After the train
had started well on Kb way, one of
tho traveling men suggested a friend
ly little game of draw, and the four
men mentioned wore agreeable nnd
eat In, A few minutes passed and the
game was getting strenuous, when
tho njnrsiini stopped tin to them, nnd
showing li! Btnr, told them that they
were undor arrest, an thCy wore
gambling, which was contrary to the
rules of the company, and the laws
of the state as made and provided.
The four men were completely tnkun
by surprise, but made no resistance
nnd were kept undor arrest until thoy
reached tho city, when they wore
turned loose, nnd Inst night bought
things for the benefit of the crowd.
Ono of iho Walla Walla men, who
Is reported to havo been recently mar
ried, was especially discouraged when
ho was apparently in tho clutches 01
tho law. "I have lost my overcoat
and umbrella since starting on this
trip," he explained to the sympathet
ic officer, "and now I have got mixed
up wltii these traveling men and havo
lost my reputation, and when my
wife hears of it I will Iobp hor." His
Joy, when found It wns a Joke, con
bettor bo Imagined than described.
