The edict ha gone forth that the main office In Chicago, and all of the branch office throughout the middle weet ahall be closed.

At the of. lice of the bureau Itself the subassls tant manager, who was the only per on In charge, declared that he had not bm-ti told yet to dose the office. Nevertheless the fact remains that the bureau Is to close. Why Hurenu tiimiil. There are soveral rumors as to why the bureau will close, both of which have their adherents. On the one hand It Is suld that Samuel Hponcer, and the railroad presidents who orig inated the Idea of having a publicity bureau to weun the people of the United States from President Itoosc velf I ilea on rate regulation, have uome to believe that their object Man been accomplished. ha been extremely expensive, the dlf icreni roads naving been assessed nearly 12.000,000 pro rata, to pay Its expenses. It Is said that the officials and directors will not be sorry to have this drain on their resource cease, especially as there will be new ex penses to be Incurred In connection with their lobby at Washington Another reason which is given for the closing of the bureau Is that flenrge V. 8. Mlchaelis. who is said to be Iho head and bruins of the bureau Is lying at death' door In a hospital in now York.' In this connection It is said that the railroad presidents feel that without Mr. Mlchaelis the bureau will not be able to continue the work a outlined, and that has helped them to come to the present decision to close the bureau. The other rumor concerning the closing of the bureau, and this has even more adherents than the first rumor, Is that the bureau has uroven 11 failure, and an expensive luxury, biiii ii nas uone. mo railroad cause incalculable harm, and scarcely any good. It is pointed out by those who believe In this theory, that the latest fiasco of the bureau was the rump convention in Chicago, which it or ganized to nullify as much as possible the law convention. Instead of help lug matters. It only brought Into more prominence the underhanded methods which the railroads have been using In (heir eampulgn.

It is suld that the railroad execu tive have been led to believe from the reports they have received from their agents In the bureau that the work has been eminently successful. were so open In managing the rump convention that every one with eyes could seo that It was no more than a railroad scheme.

It is estimated that on thc blue mountains between Huron and Spring Spur, there are dOOO cords of excellent wood awaiting shipment to this city, walla Walla and other wood markots.

The happy-go-lucky "Weary Wil lie," will be u new exponent on the stuge when Manager U. V. Newell presents E. E. Kidder's strikingly original comedy drama, "A Jolly American Tramp," at the Frazer on December 2. This piece Is said to be more strikingly Intense than the same author's other plays, "Peaceful Val ley" and "A Poor Relation," that he wrote for Sol Smith Russell. In '.'A Jolly American Tramp" he holds the attention of his audience by the quality of his wit, the deep touches of pathos that he has Inter woven In Its interesting plot, and the convincing comedy with which It Is Interspersed. Of course, the despised tramp turns out to be a hero In rags, and the supposed millionaire whose greed for gold leads him to commit felony, simply does what all his Ilk In the big trusts are doing every day. There are many scenes and Incidents portrayed that will be worth witness ing In that it shows how the rights of the many are ruthlessly brushed aside by the few, but In the end the wronged triumph, and justice gets Its reward. The cast that is to unfold this In teresting story contains tho names of many of this country's best players, among them being Clark Ross, Ber line Farnsworth, ' Cora Lee Jefferson, Virginia Melville. Vera Wilson, W. S. Ely and others. ' Much attention has been paid, too, to the costuming, each character presenting the exact prototype of the original from which the talented author took his conception. :0 :c 2 : THANKSGIVING GROCERIES Thanksgiving Linen Sale $2. f0 Yard; Table I,lnn; Pale Price... $1.60 Yanrt Table Unen; Sale Price... 11.26 Yard Table Linen; Sale Price.
