That the Frazer Theater company, managed by K. J. Taylor, will be appreciated during its stay here, was shown by the attendance and applause last night, on the occasion of tho company's first appearance here. Al though the weather was cold, never theless the theater was well filled, and that the play was liked was shown by the applause. The bill last night was "The Black Hand," a stirring four-act melo drama. The scene Is In the moun tains of Kentucky, and the plot hinges around a family feud of many years' standing and an outlaw organization known as the Black Hand. The play was well presented by Mr. Taylor's company, which In Its class Is oue of the best troupes that has ever been seen here. There Is sufficient com edy in the production to keep the program from being too weighty. As Herman Hochsteln, a German, D. S. Cobb Is a success, while David Wil liams as Dick Day, whose feet and tongue both stutter, was also clever. There Is not a poor member In the company. IC J.

T4 T4 "P1KF, PAFF POUF" MARCH SO. Fine Collection of Musicians ' and Comedians. "Plff, Paff, Pouff." Is a euphonious French phrase, which has been used frequently In literature, operas and dramas of that country. Offenbach and Audran employ the expresUons repeatedly, as does also the elder Dumas In his romances. Even much earlier than the time In which these writers flourished, "Piff. Paff. Pouff was used as a term of expression by the French. As nearly as can be ar rived, the meaning of the exclamation in English, Is "Oh, nonsense!" or "Oh, fiddlesticks!" "Plff, Paff, .Pout" comes to the Frazer an March 30. The book and lyrics were written by Messrs. Stanislaus Stange, William Jerome and Jean Schwartz. The com pany Is a large one and comprises many well known theatrical celebri ties of pretty girls and talented men, Including the great Pony Ballet. There are over 20 song hits and unique dances. YAKIMA GROWERS HOLD WOOL Petition for Mncadnm. A large majority of the property owners on Center street have prepar ed, signed and presented to Acting Mayor Bowen, who Is chairman of the street committee, a petition asking that the city fathers Immediately take up the proposition of macadamizing that thoroughfare. The petition car ries with It the suggestion that the plans of City Engineer Sandberg, pre pared a year ago be adopted. These call for an eight-Inch treatment of macadam with proper curbs. The petition was circulated by Ira B. Sturgls and John Waterman, the former having on the two previous occasions opposed the improvement. Others, like Mr. Sturgls, recognize that something must be done for the Increasing traffic and are willing to stand for the expense of macadam, which Is placed at something like 75 cents per yard.

" More Confident and Tenacious Than Year Ago. What is the price of wool In Yakima-? asks the Dally Republic. No body seems to know, because no deals have been closed, 'establishing a mar ket price for this commodity. There are a number of wool buyers In the city and they are offering the wool growers certain prices for their pro duct, hut so far no one has been able to prevail upon the sheepmen to let go. It Is hard to give local quotations under these conditions. Wool Is worth 67 cents In New York after it has gone through all the cleaning pro cesses. Conservative men Interested in the wool business say that when wool only brings 6 7 cents In New York after passing through the scouring mills nnd freight being paid upon It, the growers of the Yakima valley should not expect more than 18 or 19 cents for their product, as It Is turned over to the buyers here. In other words 65-cent wool in New York Is worth 15 cents in Yakima everything being taken Into consideration. Notwithstanding this basis of ar riving at a local price, the woolgrow ers ure absolutely refusing to sell to the eager buyers nt the prices offer ed by the latter class. The sheepmen seem to think wool is going to bring 25 cents. Some of fers have been made as high as 21. but most of tho buyers refuse to pay more than 19 cents. The conditions as they exist here today are rather peculiar, because of the fact that usually at this time of the year thousands of pounds of wool change hands. This year no contracts have been made and the woolgrowers are holding like some of the hop growers did In 1104. It will be re membered that some of the hopgrow ers held out for 35 cents and sold this winter for 6.

Is Located Two Blocks East of the East Oregonian Building Hoped That Actual Construction Work Will Ik-gln April 1 Plans Drawu by an Illinois Architect, and the Work Will Be Prosecuted Without Interruption to Completion Other , Clmrch Properties for Sale. Preliminary work is now being done towards the erection of the Methodist church at the corner of Webb and Johnson streets and It Is hoped actual construction work on the building will commence by April 1. The work of excavating for the church Is now about completed, and the architects nil plans are expected dally. These have been drawn by an Illinois archl tect who makes a specialty of church buildings. As soon as they arrive or rangements will be made for com. menclng work as the church Is pre pared financially to commence at once. It is not yet known whether the work will be let by contract or done by the church Itself under the dlrec Hon of a superintendent. This latter plan may bo followed so as to allow donation work to be done by some of the members. The new church is to be of stone, and when finished will be by far the finest structure of Its kind in this section of the country. It Is estimat ed that the building when completed will have cost (20,000. Now that the church Is preparing to build, the old church property on Thompson street and also the church property at the corner of Main and Water streets has been placed upon the market. However, the pastor, Rev. Robert Warner, stated today that the new building Is not depend ing upon the other property being sold. Hoy Thief Get live Years. Walla Walla, March 16.

Never In the history of the city prison have the police been called upon to deal with so many cases of delirium tremens as within the last two weeks, says the Oregon Dally Journal. During that time 24 men arrested for being drunk developed delirium tremens and 19 were treated by City Physician Spencer last week. In one night Jailer Branch had six men thus afflicted to attend. These are at present under the care of the city physician, while one died at Good Samaritan hospital. The trouble experienced with these men, the lack of facility for treat ment and the refusal of the hospitals to care for such sufferers on account of the harm cauSed Cther patients by their ravings and acts of Vld!?rce, all are urged by the police as reason! urgently calling for the establishing of a city receiving hospital. In many cases where deaths have occurred from accidents, the police assert, the lives of men might have been saved had there been such an institution located centrally. That the life of Smith would have been saved had he been given proper treatment when taken into custody Is regarded as certain. MUNICIPAL TELEPHONES. Seattle Will Acquire Telephones Un der Reform Campaign. Public ownership of all local and long-distance telephone lines In the state and reasonable scale of charges for telephone service Is one of the slogans which some of the municipal ownership advocates will seek to take up as a rallying cry for a county and state municipal party In the coming county and state campaign, says the Seattl Star. . . The telephone nuisance will be made the first point of attack If the plans of some of the local leaders of the municipal ownership sentiment are adopted. v As at present advanced, the plans' of these leaders contemplate the or ganization of a state party and the conduct of a state campaign on this and similar public questions as Issues.
