teen in effect sinco October 15, 1908,
nd expires by legal limit October
IB, 1910.

Wilton Lackaye.
Cleveland Moffett's play, "The
Battle," in which Wilton Lacknye s
to be seen at the Medford theater
tonight, told New Yorkers some
pretty harsh truths about their city.
Dcspito tho fact that the play's
scenes are laid in New York, citizens
elsewhere cannot afford to shrug
their shoulders and let these truths
glance off on that account. Condi
tions are much the same in all of our
large cities, and human nature is
pretty much the same the world over.
"Tho Battle" is said to stimulate in
terest in public affairs. For thnt
alone it should be welcome everywhere.

4 o'clock Saturday afternoon the
Waldo hotel, which has been doing
sen-ice in thnt little town since the
enrly '60s, was entirely destroyed by
fire. This is the old Charles Decker
hotel and for years has been one of
the old landmarks of that vicinity
and noted for the splendid accommo
dations it hns furnished to the trav
eler in those parts. It is believed
that the building caught fire from n
spark from the flue. Nothing was
saved belonging to the hotel, al
though some of the effects of the
lodgers were saved.
Frank Leland, a mining promoter,
was stopping at the hotel and had
many valuable papers in his room,
and as he was absent at tho time of
the fire his loss would have been
large had it not been for tho timely
work of Mrs. Will White. Mrs.
White went to his room and gather
ing up all the valuable data she
could find, carried them from the
building and was rewarded with a
$20 goldpiece by Mr. Leland on his
return. The hotel building was the
property of Mrs. Ida Veatch, former
ly Mrs. Charles Decker of Waldo.
She is at present residing at Eugene.
