If OPERA HOUSE Star Uaudevitlec j I will also depart rroni th usuul by expressing gratitude to those win i furnish this intelligent free amusement, i and on the part of our audience, I will j say it is appreciated. The country dads, especially J. C. Socage and George li. finney, deserve great prni.;e for the management und wisdom of tin community entertainment, meanwhile ! thej- are chaperoning and instructing HT Dance at Moose Hall after show muz and f urnisliing pleasure for their own children, a duty few parents reali.e. There is no greater accomplishment tliun elocution. It is not tne words, but the expression, it takes years to overcome the sing song method taug by some teachers, perhaps forming the wrong in'i lection, as far back as the primer. George Finney, a ytudent of earlier days uniler the elocutionary training of W. C. F.gan, and his sister, Eileen, lat er of Willamette university, and an Oaklnnd, Cal., college, stages the Wa conda players. Those taking part, arc mostly country Salem high school pu pils, our little burg is up to date and deserves an extensive patronage, amor the performers were opera singers, and piano selections and duets, quartettes, and an orchestra, culled talent from Brooks and Concomly assisted. The plays had a good morar, I hope no one will consider that they wero less able if I speak specialty of Lawrence Brooks, who represented the farmer. He had but little to say, but h s. that little well. His ease watt perfect, of the mirsie, if I speak of Eileen Nav ajo and her two little brothers, Walter and Glenn. It is not so much of tl music, but the vivacity and dash whilo singing and playing it was uo study but for the audience the brothers whistling sweet as a birds, tbey went so swiftly as the movies, called back came the same way, acknowledged courtesy shortly and were gone leaving a pleasing effect. The society meets every two weeks. On March 4 thern will be a program and contest debute be tween Buena Crest and Waconda schools, professors and others wiil take part on the embargo question. Salem should ride out on the Oregon Electric, it will meet it intellectual match, in suburban Waconda. Oat prices on commercial printing at Tie Capital Journal office. 1 8:10 p. m.

In the mid-st of their 30 day armistice which followed two weeks of bloodshed, the rival tongs yesterday afternoon signed a peace pact. Members of the Ileng Wo Woi, of Chinese Peace society, were directly re sponsible for the arrangement of peace. Peaceitcs from Pan Francisco and Se attle attended the meeting, which end ed at 5 p. m. yesterday. No money changed hands, as is the usual custom in framing peace between warring Chinese factions. With four dead, two on each side, in the Pacific northwest as a re sult of the last flare of the tong war. bloodshed was about equal. In the pres ence of the Heng Wo Woi, neither side had the audacity to ask fur a cash in demnity. The peace bulletin was posted on prominent corners in Chinatown early today.
