At the rnvitation of the Bible
class and pastor, Biil Hanley
gave a talk at the Presbyterian
church last Tuesday evening, on
his trip through the East with
the Governor's Special which
was arranged by Louis W Hill,
of the Great Northern Railway,
for the purpose of giving the
people of the East an opportun
ity of getting first hand authen
tic information respecting the
wonderful resources of the West
awaiting development
Mr. Hanley was with the
special during almost the entire
tour ' and made many observa
tions. Mr. Hanley was greeted by an
overflowing house and a very
enjoyable time was spent. Dr.
L. E. Hibbard presided and Mr.
Fellows opened the program
with a finely rendered organ solo
followed by an invocation by the
Rev. JDr. Babbidge. The ladies'
quartet, composed of Mrs. Gault,
Mrs. Farre, Mrs. Gowan and
Mrs. McHoae. sang "Annie Lau
rie" which brought forth admir
ing praise. Charles and Roland
Gowan sang a patriotic duet
Dr. C. C. Babbidge introduced
Mr. Hanley who then gave a half
hour talk of the trip in an en
tertaining manner, expressing
his belief that the result of the
tour was of great benefit to the
West and that satisfactory re
sults would certainly follow.
His observations convinced him
of the necessity of the develop
ment of this vast territory for
the benefit of mankind and that
this will be accomplished in the
immediate future.
His talk was punctuated with
humorous incidents of the trip
that made it very entertaining.
Some of his friends suggested
that even though Bill had been
brevited "Colonel" it might be
well to also extend the handle
and add D. D since it didn't
seem at all embarassing to him
to occupy the pulpit at the church

Besides Mr. McGown, Frank

high claHsautos of sufficient num
ber to handle the business with
out delay.
A regular schedule will be
maintaiued as soon as the affairs
arc gotten under" way and the
traveling public may lie assured
of every comfort and convenience
possible. There will be node-
lays as they will have sufficient
equipment to take care of the
business and so arrange as to ac
comodate the public. Round trip
tickets will be furnished and the
autos will make connections with
trains so there will be no delay.
Mr. McGowan found business
prospects very bright during his
visit to Portland and other points
and 8,'iys Harney county is being
well advertised and discussed.
He doesn't anticipate any parti
cular rush here during the early
spring but thinks there will be
large numbers coming in all dur
ing the season and that it will
increase rather than diminish as
the construction work on the rail
road progresses nearer to our
county.
"A CHEERFUL LIAR.
Tonawama Stock Co. gave an
other production last night to a
good house. "A Cheerful Liar"
has snap and was well received
by those present It is a comedy
where every part has good lines
and the cast last night se med to
make good as a whole. The
makeups were exceptionally
good.
Ora Hill demonstrated his
popularity with the public when
he was applauded upon coming
before the footlights and sang
two songs that were well receiv
ed. The next bill in which the
Tonawama Stock Co. will appear
is "The Merry Cobbler" in which
C. A. Harlan plays the leading
roll. It has a large cast thirteen
characters, and the addition to
the cast tside from the regular
members of the company, have
been carefully selected.
Had "The Merry Cobbler"
been written with a special re
gard for the requirements of
amateur players, it could not
have been happier in its results.
There is not a poor part in the
piece, and it will please patrons
by the simplicity of its story and
the strong undercurrent of heart
interest mingled with comedy
low and high, light and broad.
It will be produced Friday night,
Feb. 23.
