that he honestly believed that Furnish

to advantage and were admirably suited
to their roles. Miss McAllister as the
English dowager was sufficiently stern
and dignified to add finish to the part:
Blanche Douglas presented a dainty bit
of comedy and Minnette Barrett as Lav
ender was particularly sweet. Miss Millie
Weeman was accorded a curtain call in
recognition of her artistic work. This
company Is of great interest locally. Miss
Barrett formerly reslued here and Miss
freeman Is a relative of Henry J. White
of this city. The performance will be re

BAKER CITT. Or.. May 22.-Never be
fore In the history of Baker County has
Democratic prospects been so bright as
they are now. The most conservative
people claim that Chamberlain will carry
the county by at least 400 majority. Re
publicans admit that they will loss the
county, and they also admit'' that the
Democrats will carry the four Eastern
Oregon counties of Union, Baker, Wallo
wa and Umatilla, There does not seem
to be any doubt that Walter Pearce will
carry Union and Umatilla, and Matlock,
candidate for the Legislature, will be In
the same boat.
The Republican candidates are now
working Umatilla County, but are not
creating any enthusiasm, all the popular
feeling going to Mr. Chamberlain.

O.U.W. HalL
J. Stltt Wilson of Chicago addressed a

Cause and Cure of the Concentration of
Wealth."
Mr. Wilson Is one of the ablest speak
ere in the Socialist ranks, and nls speech
last night was well received. He said In
substance that the Socialist movement
had entered into a new phase of growth
It was neither a new reform party, nor
a fad of "ism," but a great and growing
movement against the capitalist system.
Socialism is world wide, growing, invinc
ible and it is a movement that would
ultimately usher In the co-operative com
monwealth.
Every great movement passes through
four stages in Its evolution: First. It is
ridiculed, second misrepresented, third
discussed, fourth accepted. Socialism has
passed the stage of ridicule and Is just
emerging from misrepresentation. The
next two years of Socialism would be
discusser In every city, town and coun
try crossroads. The next Presidential
campaign, Soalallsm wlu be the great
theme of discussion. Four years from
then Socialism will be aecepted as the
only possible remedy for tne ailing K
public. . '
For the first time since Lincoln's famous
address in Cooper ball. New Verk, .
great mass of the "toirfs" of America

"There will be a grand rath to thai

many others believe these flgnrea will be

the Wood River towns, Salmon City and
many other outfitting points are making v
extensive preparations to handle -the ex- -pected
pilgrimage. Of course these pros

fed and furnished with necessary tools,
I am confident this demand la rmi tsls to
be a very heavy one, not only during the
