VALLEY VAUDEVILLE
IS WELL RECEIVED
"Dad" F-rring, "" he stepped on
the stage Monday niKht in the opening
nurrber of "Valley Vaudeville," n
happy and care free as the trouba
dour in ' I h Streets of Naplis" iro
perronaUd by him. Mr. Eppirtg and
the amateur ctars under his direction
who aided him in the performance at
Heilbronner tall Monday evening, de
serve praise for the cheer they dis
persed. It was a t-how with merit,
girder and go. It was announced that
the show would begin at 7.4S. In fart,
the characteristics of Hood Kiver audi
ences in being a little tardy was spoken
of press-agcntwie a little bit ironically.
However, this is all smoothed over
now; for the Valley Vaudeville main
tained the noble old custom of being
few minutes late.
It was worth while jutt to hear the
orchestra, ccrr.pr.pod of Hans Uocrlein,
E A. Kinraid, William ('hurdler and
Arthur I larke, dispensed a few tunes.
They were followed by the troubadours.
the .classic team of "The Streets of
Venice," Dad Kt'ping. Chas. N. Clarke,
K. Li. Perigo, Irwin I'arkirs and Will
iam Chandler. Mr. Lpping and Mr.
Clarke rendered some wonderful music,
"Twenty Minutes in Beauty far
lor," was a skit that would take on a
circuit that sees the best performances.
Miss Ann Vannet and, as "Mamsell
Fixem," proprietress of the parlor,
arose to the occasion, when Miss fian
ces Bragg, the wife of western sena
tor, made, her appearance and fcdesired
to be made beautiful, in order that her
husband might again fall in love wilh
her. The senator was thought to have
been caught in the net of pretty
woman lobbyivt. I he wife finally pur
chased the Iteauty I arlor, and all
hands set to work to taka off her top
skin and bring out her beauty. Mrs.
Art ('larke played well the part of an
assistant in the parlur and L). O
Cruikshank was the colored boy, who
by his answering of the telephone
brought in some local color jokes. Miss
Albright was the manicure girl. Ceo.
llragg had his hands manicured. Jim
Pifer, impersonating an old lady in a
not bath to be reduced, caused a com
motion by fainting. The senator's wife
was finally massaged, combed and
dressed in such a fashion that her hus
band, Culver Osgood, was charmed
when he appeared on the scene
In songs and a clever little skit Mrs.
A.S.Keir and Mrs. Florence Schmellzer
and Karl K. Bartmesa made a decided
hit. The former represented Coster
Couple, two English grila, and the
parts were played to perfection.
Itartmesa was an Irish bailiff,
"disguise" could not have been
proved upon.
Mr.

im
The ladies of the city were shown
some or the mysteries of a boxing bout.
when a four round match was staged
between Charles Carson and led John
son. The brother of thu latter, Frank
Johnson, was referee. "You will see a
match according to the rules as used in
the largo cities," he announced, when
introducing the lightweights. The boys
went to it in a beautiful light sparring
match. Arthur Lofts and "Wrestler"
Cochran wielded the towels for the
boxers.
The show was concluded by reels of
good moving pictures.
Mrs. C. N. Clarke and Miss Kstelle
Rich took parts in the skit, "Twenty
Minutes in a Beauty Parlor."
The tongs of the troubHdora were
made much more effective by the ex
cellent piano accompaniment of Miss
Olive Nepple.
NEW MAXVELLTs A
THING OF BEAUTY
The new 1915 model of the Mawell 25
hag arrived at the garage of the local
agents, Howe & Ingalls. The new car
is a thing of beauty. No Maxwell has
ever had such pretty budy linos ; and
the machine has all the latent improve
ments. The driver Iibb nothing to do
but watch the wheel and press buttons.
It hag an electric starter and electric
lights
The button that blows the horn is
conveniently attached to the wheel.
The seat does not have to be removed,
in order to get into the gasoline tank.
An opening j'let under the wind shield
on the right hand aide of the car makes
filling tho tank very convenient.
The front seat of the car Is adjust
able. It is so arranged that the back
can be taken olF and the body of the
car be turned into a bed.

Echo Mads to Order.
Are you aware that it is possible to
make echoes? It Is. Indeed, easier to
make than to destroy tbem.
In the past men built their great tem
ples and cathedrals with no thought of
acoustics. Hence, when the preacher
preached echoes rolled freely amid the
groining of the roof, down the rows of
sculptured columns and round and
round tbe nave.
With wires strung her and with
tapestries spread there many of the
echoes of the old world buildings bare
been obliterated. Tber are echo ex
ports builders acquainted with the sci
ence of acoustics, whose specialty is
echoes' destruction. Sometimes their
tasks are bard.
Today an architect take thought of
the echo. Ills building is constructed
ao as to exclude this Intruder. And,
knowing bow to exclude it, be know
bow to welcome It also.
Architects are frequently called upon
In landscape work to put up summer
bouse and arrange rocks around them
so as to create an echo there. And tbla
tbey can satisfactorily do. London Tit

A light American automobile was
sold to a tea planter of upper Assam, a
region In tbe Himalayan foothills with
scarcely any good roads and a rainfall
of from 300 to 600 inches a year. Six
months after it was purchased th
planter ii native chauffeur drove it into
a washout on the CberapunJI road dur
ing a freshet, and it went rolling 600
feet into the rain swollen river. A
week's search fulled to reveal any
trace of machine or driver. At tbe end
of tbe rainy season tbe remains of the
machine were found several mile be
low tbe point where tbe accident bad
occurred. The wheels were gone and
the body battered almost beyond rec
ognition, and It was only on the score
of sentiment that the planter bud the
pieces gathered up and taken home by
coolies. A month later while on a tour
of Assam 1 saw tbe salvaged englno

up over a well and actually pumping
water to the planter's bungalow on th

Aecordirg to a report just issued by
tha stste asm warden 450 cam li
censes were issued in Hood Kiver coun
ty Isat year; fishing licenses numbered
!69, and 72 combinations licenses were
issued. The total receipts from the
amounted to f 1.4b3.
Bounties wer paid in Hood River
county on 33 bobcats snd three cougsrs
last veir. the total sum amounting to
S78. In some of the counties tbe boun
ties on predatory animals amounted to
more than a thousand dollars.
In Hood River county &M00 game
fish were distributed last year.
It is just two weeks now until that
Hood Rixer County Game Protective
Association fish fry will be beld. If
the plans of the contestants in the
trout tournev do not ifane a-gley there
will be no fatting on account of lack of
fish. J. B. Hunt, rred Hand and Bert
Stranahan, the members of the promo
tion committee, are whispering fifrh
stories for the purpose of arousing la
tent talent. Joe G. Vogt, it is said,
mav attain cast a hook, and E. A.
Baker, known as tennis champion but
whose exnenence in flv casting has
been limited, is contemplating joining
the creel laden contestants. Judge
Derby, who already has a reputation
fur landing fine trout and lots of them
but who has recently received a spring
call of nature, may leave his lily ponds
and rose bushes and mix it some with
the boys.
Local veterans say there is now a de
mand for G. A. R. buttons. In June
the bill recently passed by the legisla
ture permitting old soldiers to fitth
without a license will go into effect.
Mr. L. J. Drake, who recently re
moved to the Hood River Heights from
Indiana, waa accompanied on the
journey to the Pacific coast by three
o'possums. The marsupials are still
with him, and they seem to be thriving
on the atmosphere of the mid-Columbia.
Mr. Drake exhibited them at the
Consolidated Mercantile Co. store in
tne Sproat building Saturday, and the
"Exchange Day" crowd waa much in
terested in the peculiar beasts. Many
people in Hood Kiver had.never seen
an o'possum before.
Vain attempts were made by a num
ber of former residents of the polk
berry and persimmon districts otthe
lower Mississippi valley to secure the
beaBts by barter or direct purchase.
Tbe sight of a possum to a man who
has sniffed the aroma of one of the an
imals, properly dressed, that is, being
baked with sweet potatoes, acts like
the vision of a dram to a drunkard.
There floats through his mind portions
of that old song, ol which darkies have
made a lullaby to rock their babies to
sleep:
''Possum meat am good and sweet,
Carve him to de heart."
However, the force of the Consoli
dated company refused to part with the
rstlike, edible animals for any price.
Their owner, former Hoosierite that he
is, thinks that the western appetite for
possum will be easy to cultivate, lie
contemplates starting an o'possum
farm here in the Valley of Apples, the
animals are fond of fruit, and they can
be fed on cull apples very economically.
Mrs. a. T. Boynton, who removed
several weeks ago from near Tillamook
to the Mosier district, posssses a Rhode
Island Bed hen that is the pride of her
family and the wonder of two commun
ities. When Mrs. Boynton and her
family pulled up their stakes in Tilla
mook and decided to remove to Wasco
county, the old hen had been setting for
about two weeks on la eggs, she was
favorite, however, and they did not
desire her to pine away behind.
I took those eggs, says Mrs.
Boynton, and put tbem in a cotton bat
ting nest made in a hamper basket.
Then I put the old hen in on them. 1
took the basket on the train from Till
amook to Portland, as though it had
been a lunch for us. We spent one
night in Portland, and the old hen and
the eggs stayed in the room with me.
I hat old hen would cluck at intervals
just as contentedly as though she were
buck down under the back porch at
home in Tillamook. We took a bout
from Portland to Mosier."
A few days later the hen hatched out
14 of the 18 eggs. The brood of chicks
is doing fine and the old hen is scratch
ing for bugs just as vigorously as she
ever did in tho Bands by the Pucitic.
Down at GreBham tha folks have
been fond of cock fighting. On Sunday
the officers raided an old vacant barn
and caught 31 men enjoying the sport
of seeing the animals kill each other.
Eighteen game fowls were captured.
The raid was made at the instance of
the Humane Society.
E. J. Middleswart holds the record
for the first large steelheud of the sea
son. He landed a 34-inch fish above
the Mount Hood railroad bridge Mon
day afternoon. Other fishermen viewed
his catch with envy.
Trout season will open next Thurs
day. Ru bber Stamps, guaranteed to print
