Up-to-Date Structure of Greatly

ried Out at Onee.
With the opening of the theatrical
season now but a few months off
and no actual steps taken towards ar
ranging for a theater for Pendleton,
there Is a growing danger that the
city will have to do without the pleas
ures of the opera this winter. Though
much has been said regarding the
need of a new theater, and the de
mand for the same Is universal, no
new playhouse Is being erected, and
seemingly there is no one willing to
build a theater as a personal Invest
mment. Such being the case the only
hope of a modern theater lies In the
formation of a stock company.
Would llcinodrl Eraser.
Of the various stock company
plans advanced, one advocated by
Loon Cohen seems the most practi
cal and definite at this time. Mr.
Cohen suggests the formation of a
local stock company for the pur
chase and remodeling of the present
Frazer theater. By purchasing the
present property for, say 130,000, and
spending 112,000 or $16,000 In en
larging and remodeling the theater,
ho believes the entire property could
be placed upon a paying basis. He
would have the theater enlarged by
being extended over the 60 by 100
foot lot In the rear of tho building.
It would then be sufficiently large
for the needs of the city, and by be
ing refurnished and supplied with
proper exits It could be made Into a
first class playhouse. It would have
the advantage of being well located,
and would also be the onlv theater
In the city; whereas, should a new
opera house be built there might be
danger of competition from the Fra
ser. s
The locations on the lower floor
of the building could be rented as
at present. ,
In order to carry out such a prop
osition as the above a popular stock
company would have to be formed
and bunches of stock taken by those
nble to do so. Thirty or 40 firms or
Individuals taking 11000 in stock
each, would provide the necessary
money and Mr. Cohen Intimates that
the Pioples Warehouse would gladly
be In the throng.
Unless some such a move as the
above Is soon started there Is little
likelihood of Pendleton seeing any
plays the coming season other than
the attractions at the Star vaudeville
theater, or the tent attractions such
as the two now coming. At present
the old Frazer is condemned, both
by the fire chief and by public opin
ion, and It Is doubtful it It can be
used again without exterislve Im
provements. While there is no the
ater ordinance now In force one can
be easily passed, and after the stand
taken last spiing the council will
hardly allow the playhouse to be re
opened without changes.
City's Name At Stake.
Should there be no theater here
during the season the loss to the city
would be great, both directly and In
directly. The theater furnished one
of the chief sources of amusement
during the winter and brought many
country people to the city, while the
theatrical troupes themselves mean
much business, especially to the ho
tels. A nlde from this direct loss It Is
generally felt that without a theater
the good name of Pendleton as a
progressive town would be sadly
tarnished, and that the city would
lose in Inestimable ways.

ment Is made today that the report
that Aokl will be recalled Is untrue.

Nfw York, June 21. The dl-

SHOPS FOH IUPAIUA.
Work Will I!o Resumed and Pushed
v to Completion.
Lewlston, July 21. It was learned
yesterday that H is planned to start
work on the remaining f'bt of tfie
Clearwater bridge on July 10, the ad
vices to that effoct coming from Rl
parla. In this connection It Is stated
that it is planned to complete the
work within 30 days after the crew Is
assempled here. The best cluss of
equipment for such work will be used,
thus enabling every detail of the con
struction operations to be rapidly car
ried forward. A purpose In hurrying
the lnwlng of thetrack from Almota
to Lewlston Is to enable the early de
livery of the steel for the bridge so
that the placing of the same can be
commenced from the north side as
soon as the remaining pier Is com
pleted. Other advices yesterday relative to
the new road were to the effect that
the O. R. & N. plans to Install ma
chine shops at Rlparla. It Is even
stated that the plans for the buildings
have alreody been prepared and that
within a short time some announce
ment will be made. The Information
is to the effect that If the shops are
located at Rlparla, the step Is the
carrying out of a decision reached by
the company a number of years ago
when the O. R. & N. had completed
arrangements for building an inde
pendent line from Rlparla to Lewis
ton. When the truce between the compa
ny and the Northern Pacific delayed
the building of the new road, the
machine shop feature was also tem
porarily abandoned to be revived now
as the result of the Joint construction
of the road. The Walla Walla-Spokane
section of the O. R. ft N. crosses
the Snake river at Rlparla and the
point Is looked upon as being espe
cially conveniently located for the
shops when the new river line is fin
ished. No reason has been assigned
by the O. R. ft N. for the withhold
ing from the public of the Information
relative to the shops, and a view is
expressed that perhaps the decision to
locate them at Rlparla is not yet a
definite one.

PROFESSOR FORTY YEARS.
Enthusiastic Meeting Held In His
Honor at University.
Pacific University, Forest Grove,
Ore., June 21. A remarkable career
has been that of Prof. Joseph Walker
Marsh, who was lionized Tuesday
night by the associated alumni of the
university in an enthusiastic meeting
In his honor. Such a demonstration
had never been known In the institu
tion's histoary. The occasion was the
professor's retirement. ' His rt1gna-
tlon was accepted with much regret
by the board of trustees.
Prof. Marsh came to Oregon over
40 years ago and has been professor
of Greek, Latin and moral philosophy.
together with other branches, for the
entire period without interval. Sel
dom has he missed a s'ngle class and
the many students who have come In
contact with his keen intellect and
lovable character have always gone
from the college walls with great ap
preciation of the man whose labors
have been performed through sacrifice
and toll. In their talks at the meet
ing in his honor the students brought
out forcibly their appreciation of these
facts and the expression was always
greeted with great applause from the
audience.
Prof. Marsh was the center of all
attention and thought, as he sat In
thp auditorium, his hair silvered and
his shoulders bent with the burdens
of a generation. When he was pre
sented w'11 t-" P1hn's Bible, which
Is several centuries old and the gift
of the alumni, the audience cheered
to the echo.
Milton W. Smith, John A. Lee, J.
E. Klrkwood and H. W. Scott were the
speakers. All are' graduates of Pa
cific anlverslty. Without exception,
they referred to Prof. Marsh as a man
of keenest Intellect and most lovable
character.
The musical part of the program
was enthusiastically received. MUInrd
O. Lowensule. Miss Katherlne Lawler
and Mrs. Ruth Scott Lnldlaw sang,
and all selections were heartily en
cored. BRIGHT PROSPECTS
That the district fair this year will
be even more successful Uinn last Is
Indicated by the Interest that Is being
taken. Though the oard has thus
far done only preliminary work to
wards arranging foi the fair. Presi
dent Cohen Is authority for the state
ment that already more inquiries have
been received from Intending exhibit
ors than were gotten altogether last
year. This augurs well for a good
agricultural and horticultural display,
and shows also that the fair Is regard
ed as being worthy of patronage.
Frank Frazler, one of the memborB
of the board, Is now at work upon the
premium list for this year, and It will
be considerably different from what
It was last season. In general, more
Inducements are to be offered for the
dlsplav of stock having no particular
pedigrees. By such a course It Is

HARVARD MEN COMING.
To Win Traditional Gold Secrets
From Indians.
, Lewlston, July 21. Herbert Joseph
Splndcr, assistant professor of an
thropology In Harvard university, in
company with R. H. Hcllman, a Har
vard medical student, will leave
Boston In a few -days for Idaho,
wncip they will study the language
an.l customs of the Xez Perce Indi
ans, Their ultimate destination is the
Lapwai reservation, in Idaho, but
they will travel from tribe to tribe,
states ore report. In company flth
Dr. Dixon, Mr. Splnder a few years
ago visited the cliff dwellers and
othrr Indians on the Pacific coast.
They will spend a part of the time
dressed In the costume of these once
savage roomers of the prairies.
The Nez Perces have been the most
difficult tribe for anthropologists to
study on account of their shy man
ner, and their traditions from time
Immemorial are carefully cherlBhed
by them and little information can
be gained from them.
There are traditions that the chiefs
of the tribe qre aware of the loca
tion of Immense deposits of gold In
the western country, more notably
among the alkali deserts of Colorado
ond Idaho, but the work of years and
cajolery of men have been unable to
wrett their secret from them. It Is
the hope of being able to get an Inkl
ing of the location of these deposits
that spurs the explorers to their re
searches, and If they are unsuccessful
In their endeavors this time they will
trv the thing again another season.
It is by going among the tribe and
dressing and living like them that
Mr. Splnder. and Mr. Hellman hope
to break down the spirit of reserve
and ultimately win the confidence of
this almost unknown remnant of the
aborigines.

President of the Northern Pacific,

Situation and Advise Early Pur
chase of. Winter Fuel.
Washington, June 21. Strenuous
measures have been adopted by the
government and by the railroads to
avert a fuel famine In the west and
nort '.wcst. which Is thought to be
lmptndlng next winter. Howard El
liott, president of the Northern Pa
cific, reoently wired to Commissioner
Lane of the lntorstate Commerce
commission, suggesting the proba
bility, of a fuel famine In the west
and northwest next winter that
might exceed In Its serious posslblli
ties the famine of last winter. He
advised that everV effort be made
by the commission to induce consum
ers to .lay In supplies of coal during
the summer months, pending the
movement of the crops in the early
autumn.
Commissioner Lane Immediately
took up the matter with Secretaries
Garfield and Taft, urging that coal
supplies at all depots of the govern
ment be put In nt as early a date as
possible. The subject was considered
at th? last meeting of the cabinet
held before President Roosevelt left
Washhigton, and It was decided that
the suggestion be adopted.
Secretary Oarfleld wrote to Com
missioner Lane, in response to a let
tor which the commissioner had
written him on the subject, his let
ter containing this paragraph:
"I beg to acknowledge your letter
cf June 7, with the inclosure from
the president of the Northern Pa
cific. His suggestion regarding fuel
Is an admirable one, and should be
acted on by the department."
Commissioner Lane has received
torn B. T. Staunton, chairman of the
railroad commission of Montana, a
circular which the commission has Is
sued respecting an Investigation Into
the subject of the coal supply now
In sight and to be available for the
use of citizens of Montana during the
winter months of 1907 and 1908. The
Inquiry shows that a coal shortage
exceeding that of the past winter Is
not onlv possible, but probable, n
lesa steps are taken to avert It, and
the commission advises tho people
to put In their supplies of coal at
the earliest possible date.
