H. Gillis, Manager. C. M. Plylcr opena his summer en gagement at the Tygh Valley Fair e-rounda on Saturday night of this week with Jame Oliver Curwood'a great story, "The Wolf Hunters." For the benefit of those who, by any chance, have never read Cur- wood's thrilling story, It is a narra tive of the northwest and a young "mountle" who for a time is the pawn of fate. Here you see the Royal Northwest mounted police In action as they act. Sergeant Steve Drew, played by Koa coc, Is detailed to arrest his own sweetheart and does it with the stoic lm and devotion to duty for which the "mountica" are internationally famous. He also has the difficult task of straightening out hi young brother's love affair and In addition, it is his duty to arrest a gang of notorious and desperate fur smugglers. He succeeds In all of them, but not without rare action and excel lent acting. The main event of the evening will be a pavilion dance, for which Rorick's orchestra of The Dalles, will play. As the pavilion has been en closed for the colder weather it will be comfortable for the dance. As a special added attraction Mr. Piyler will give away a beautiful liny ooiiar uiamonu ring u me unc Introduction of Certified Rays croato Egg Production Elght-five cents worth of electrici ty, used to get the hens up early and set them to work, increased the prof Its from one chicken pen $9.65 In two months, according to the mana ger of a poultry farm In Kansas, The experiment was . made witn two pens, one of which was below the other in rate of egg production.

Several de linquent may be served with notices from an atterney, In whose hands we propose to place their delinquent accounts.

They were filled with hope land seemed to possess that element (winch goes to make winners. That element was shown to be latent when compared with the "pep . of the . Stubble Jumpers, for when the last man was out the oeore stood 12-D in ' favor of 'the boys who warm their ! feet following a two-bottom plow. Bend went to bat first r.r before the side was retired . dinners were credited with crorsi.: tee pan. In Maupin's half our player ran wild, Nye, Confer. Morris, Earl and Raymond Crabtree each marking one np on the score board. In the "Pep's" next try they got a man around as far as third, but he was j thrown out there R. Crabtree to Con fer. The "other two were' out E. Crabtree to D. Miller, and one strike out. L L Maupin duplicated the previous in the next frame, the same players, with the exception of Nye, scoring, Doughton being the omer to cross the home plate for a run. Bend was blanked in the next half, while Maunin went out and gathered in a I lone tally in its half, making a total of 11 for the three innings. Bend i squeezed one in in the third inning: and gave Maupin a zero m oui- imn. We were sat down on rather hard in our next two times up, but three men going to bat in each inning, but in the next scored another, which ended the accumulation of markers for Maupin in the game. In the fifth Bend was favored by hrfiftka. srettine three big ones after two were out, being given a life on short's error. They duplicated the performance in the sixth, another er ror at the same position and after two were out, allowing them three more. These made a total of nine and rather evened up what would have been a one sided score for the game. r MILLIONS OF MONEY COME IN State' Chamber of Commerce Indue ing Settler to tome Here.
