The theatrical season opened
at the. opera house last Tuesday
night with the "Little Prospect
or" as an attraction. The at
tendance was not as large as
usual which was perhaps due to
lack of advertising. Manager
Groves was engaged in very im
portant business at Salem in a
little show of his own. . ' .
.The people in the Alsea coun

killing elk. Quite a " number
have been killed and the herd

History has been telling us
that John Brown was dead, but

The Missouri River Valley is
one of the most successful hog
sections of the U. S., and corn
has always been the basis of this
industry. Today one of the
nipst popular stock-fattening,
foods in the Missouri River re
gion is a mixture of alfalfa meal
and sugar beet pulp, which is
produced in Colorado. Advices
recently received from that state
show that numerous new mills
are being erected, and certainly
the -Pacific Northwest should
give this industry every possible,
encouragement, and this is par
ticularly, true since the great in
ternational concerns like "Swift
& Co. and others have decided
to locate upon the Pacific Coast,
and they are spending millions
of dollars in building their,
plants at Portland. A good re
liable fattening food equal to
corn would make this section,
of the U. S. the very richest
portion of onr great Republic.
