Ward, the lessee, of the Metropolitan theatre, will make his first appearance this season. Mr. Ward has been before the public so long, and is so well known to the theatre-going community, that his name has become a household word, he needs no praise from us. This genial gentleman has engaged a talented com pany to support him. In it appears the names of that little soubrette, Carrie Clarke Ward, and our old favorites Ar thur Sutherland and Fred Gere. With names like these in a dramatic company, the public are assured of a good enter tainment. They present a very attract ive programme on this occasion, which can be seen in our advertising columns. Give them what they are deserving of, on their opening night a full house. Umatilla Reservation to be Thrown Open Tor Settlement. By private letters from Senator Slater, the East Oregonian learns that the Indians will be removed from the Umatilla reservation at an early day, except a few who have determined to take claims and serve their tribal re lations. The Indians will go to differ ent reserves as best suits their inclina tion. Sccretar Schurz who has al most complete control of the matter, favors their removal and no doubt it will be done. The probabilities are that the land will be appraised and sold to create a fund for the support of the Indians. Senator Slater is do ing all in his power to have the land opened to actual settlers, but the chances are against him. $ - Later. A private' telegram to Lieut. Farrow brings the joyful news that the order for the removal has been made, upon what terms we are not informed. Every one who desires to get a claim here should prepare himself with a few hundred dollars. cash, ready for any emergency. Xnflrr.
