But few people in Portland appreciate the wide distribu tion which the Annual Number of The Oreeronlan regularly enjoys. Not only are m- thousands of extra copies read in Port land and the Immediate tribute but additional thousands are mailed by the home people to friends and business associates In all parts of the world. On top of all this even, orders for thousands of copies are received by The Oregonian from residents of the Middle West and far East, who want to avail themselves of the opportunity the Annual Number affords these people of becoming thor oughly Informed of the resources and de velopment of the Pacific Northwestern States. Every statement made in the c,umns of e Annual Number has c -uinonty or The Oregonian itself be hind it. The subject matter i carefully prepared by The Oregonlan's editorial writers, and the paper commends 10 me oest attention everywhere In recognition of the intrinsic merits of Its leading articles. The Annnm t,. , The Oregonian .for 1903 will be published wie nrst day of the new year. The paper will be mailed to any address in the United States or Canada, for 8 cents a L"Py. postage prepaid. tS d HEr Up.-The case In which nrXT - Fahe5'. ex-boxers, are ------ WJ. urunKenness and disorderly conduct and assaulting an elderly man Nuckols, was again called In t ifpai UOUrt yesterday. Patrol Driver Johnson justified: "I was called to the Cactus saloon, as It was stated that somebody was beating Nuckols. The lat ter was bleeding from cuts on his head, and he said that Hill had done it. Hill had blood on his hands, and said at the time that he had had nothing to do in the matter." The defendants lawyers argued that Municipal Judge Hogue had no Juris diction in the case, as the complainant had not been subponaed to appear at the trial, according to legal usage. The Judge differed from counsel, and stated that the very opposite had occurred, and that the complainant had promised to appear at the .adjourned hearing, but had not done so. The case was continued until tomor row, when the lawyers will resume their argument on legal technicalities. After Strat Doos.-Poundmaster Reed started out a gang of dog-catchers yester day to round up such canines as are un fortunate enough to be owned by persons who uo not take out licenses for them The late long spell of rainy weather has caused such dogs to seek shelter and stay In It when found. So It has not been pos sible to catch many, and the city Is out several hundred dollars for licenses not taken out The last lot of captured dogs some 14. which were dispatched by as phyxiation a few days ago, were mostly a good class of animals, such as collies Gordon setters, and they were held several days longer than required, as it was con sidered certain that the owners would pay the license and redeemed them, but there appears to be many now who are not eager to pay dog licenses, and the outlook for the dogs of such people is gloomy, as the man with the lasso and the cage wagon Is after them. Ten Special. Mail. Clerks at Work. The 10 special clerks allowed Postmaster Croasman for the holiday season assumed their duties yesterday and relieved the pressure of overwork on the regular clerks to some degree, but, being new to the work, were not able to accomplish as much as they will be in a few days. The lobbies in the Postoffice are crowded all day long, and the clerks in every depart ment are kept "on the Jump" all the time. In the registry department packages come pouring in by the wagon load, and In the money order department orders come in as fast as they can be paid. Yesterday 1012 orders were paid, but the number will De sun larger in a few days, as business is greater than ever," and one day last year 1013 orders Were paid. The holiday season is no holiday for postoffice em ployes. Ready to Lax Asphalt on Seventh Street. The Trinidad Asphalt Company has been waiting Impatiently for a chance to lay the asphalt pavement on Seventh :street as far as the concrete foundation is completed, from Taylor to Alder streets, but the weather has. delayed the work till they were almost sorry that it had been started. Yesterday the brick gutters between Taylor and Yamhill were as phalted and completed, and Superintend ent D. W. Taylor, of the Trinidad Asphalt Company, was on hand, and said that if the fine weather continued, he should at once commence putting down the pave ment, and would complete the street down to Alder, if possible. It is to be hoped that the fine weather may last till this is done, as It will not take long, and the street has been closed to travel a long time. Will Not Interfere With Business. As might be expected, business men on Morrison street, especially those between Third and Fifth, were pleading yesterday to have the commencement of work on the sewer to be built in that part of the street -mt off till after Christmas at least. When the matter was mentioned to City Engineer Elliott, he said there was urgent necessity for the new sewer, but the business man at Third and Mor rison need not be alarmed, as the work would be commenced at the river, and it would be after New Year's before it reached Third street. Work on the sewer would have been begun before now, but the high stage of water in the river has prevented this. Big Traveling Crane in Place. The 10-ton traveling crane provided for the new station of the Portland General Elec tric Company, which house-movers have "1been trying to boost into place for several days, was safely landed on the huge tracks running along the sides of the sta tion, some 17 feet above the floor. The trolleys at each end are in place, and the crane ready to be run from one end of the building to the other. A lot of heavy transformers stand in a row on the floor, waiting for the crane to move them into the positions they are to occupy, but the crane cannot be fully tested till the huge 20-ton machine It will have to handle has arrived. Charged With Robbing Cash-Drawer. Lr. W. Deleahey, colored, will have a hearing before Municipal Judge Hogue to day, charged with larpeny in stealing $35 from the cash-drawer of Edward Byrne's saloon, 353 Glisan street, when the propri etor was temporarily in the cellar. The act complained of took place last Monday. Deleahey was placed under 51500 bail.

Marguerlta Otto, of the Metropolitan Opera-House Mrs. Roylo Hans Otto, her father Mr. Emhiett Shackelford Harold Hunting, director Metropoli tan Opera -House John Padden, Sr., a business man.. Mr. H. B. Bradley John Padden, Jr., with literary as pirations and business instincts.. Mr. E. Milton Boyle Adrian Karje, a pianist ..... -. Mr. Wright Kramer Jennie Mcrryweather, the boys' Commissary-General ..Miss Mabel Dlxey Mrs. Strauss," friend of Marguorlta. Miss Irene Grey Henry, a servant John Goodwin Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Milton Royle de lighted the audience at the Marquam with their presentation of Mr. Royle's line comedy-drama, "Friends." Any one who mayhave stayed away because ,of hav ing seen recently the clever production of the same play by the NeiU Stock Company missed a treat, for many Im portant modifications have' been made by the author in the original play, vastly improving and giving it, with this com pany's Interpretation, all the advantages of a novelty. During the nine perform ances by the Nelll company, most Port land theater-goers who were not already familiar with the play became, so, but all who saw last evening's performance must have been gratified at the good Judgment displayed by Mr. Royle In the liberties he has taken with the original text, elim inating, as he has, everything fhat de tracted from Its artistic perfection. The three acts of the old play have been converted to four, the music feature which was unnecessary, and therefore Jarring has been taken out entirely. What Is. especially satisfying is that Jack Padden, the loyal friend, gets the woman he loves after all, while Adrian, the mu sician, wins the charming little Jennie Mcrryweather. The latter is lifted to a much more Important position than in the original play. The company Is balanced excellently. Mr. Royle's. characterization of Jack Pad den is perfection. Mrs. Rovle. as Mar guerlta Otto, demonstrates her high artis tic .talent The musical quality of her voice Is extraordinary. It is regrettable that the play so subordinates th nnrt nf the leading lady, really giving five men more Important work than fliers. Emmett Shackelford, as Hans Otto, the old Her man; H. B. Bradley, as John Padden, Sr., and Harold Hunting are all good. Mr. Shackelford's high-bred German ac cent Is exquisite. Miss Mabel Dlxey, as "Jennie," is charming. The Royles were here with "Friends" eight years ago. For the past three or four 'years the temntinsr salaries n.iiH good vaudeville artists has kept them in tnat line, but they announce that they are back to stay with straight drama They expect to visit Portland next Win ter with Mr. Royle's new comedy, "My Wife's Husband," and they will be wel comed.
