Jirane's Manager on Her "DHorna" Tour. Some three weeks" ago the unoffend ing city of Portland was, for the second time, crossed by the orbit of Wallace Munro. theatrical, manager, dry goods clerk, Irtthario and prince of borrowers. As manager of Mrs. Minnie Brune, the pe tite brunette, who played 'Unorna" at the Marquam Grand ore -April 2 Oand 21 last, il a number of acquaint- in th rftv. and Induced some of them. Walter Reed and Calvin Helllg, for Instance, to give him iuu apiece. ew tht mnnpv Mr. Munro gave his fvipnris drafts drawn on his Tr rhnrlotte Tlttell Munro, who Is well known la Portland and who Is now In New Yorlc But the drafts have " r . . 1 a ,i 1 w,n rattirnMl to ifOTUBXlU. uuyttiu. o."vi 1 protested, and Mr. Reed, Mr. iieiiig ana or- mnph nained. In fact, the ffliv rnnRolation that the local lenders have is that they are in good company, if Tr.fht hnve been worse." said Mr. "Nnw look at John Cort, the sntti Theatrical manaser. I understand that he cashed a little draft for $300 for And from the vicinity of the Baker theater there come sounds of great re-l.nf- Ronnre L. Baker is responsible for the sounds, and he congratulates him self hourly on his narrow escape.

Giddy Dry GoodK ClerU. -vfr- Mimro's first appearance In Port land was made about XS90. At that time his name was James Munro, "Pretty Jim." the girls called him. and his oc .imttnn was a dry coods clerk. He had just married the young daughter o? Dennis Kearney, the sand-lot orator of San Francisco, and after arriving in TT-fiond obtained a position selling In "T.lnman & Wolf's 8tore.

Many of the older employes of Lipman x. Wolf still remember the meteoric ca reer of Jim Munro. They- tell laughable nf how this nrodltral clerk was ac customed to procure his clothes and jewelry. One story In particular, told vv. RnmiiPi Davis, one of the department managers, recites how Munro went out one night, Tented a dress suit and then -mndA a tour of all the stores he could roa-h Vipfore eloslntr time. At each he tx-miri nurphase some article he needed or that his friends might need, and on coming to pay for It would discover that, when dressing, he had forgotten to put r.r mnncv in his evening clothes. The rir.-: stilt and his lncenious explanation did the rest. He was urged to take the orHxio ninnrr and the amount was ViflTirf-d to him. Munro went to New York with the Tlttell tKtprs. who had been playing at coro -rnv's Theater here, and -in Gotham mar ried one of the trio, Charlotte, his pres ent wife, on whom the dishonored drafts were drawn. Before long he had secured a position as advance man for L-ewis Morrison at a first-class salary, and this it was that put Munro u aiiace juunro, it was now on his feet. As Theatrical Managrer. T.ntr he arranged to take Mrs. Mln nlR Tlttell Brune. who, by the way, is only an adopted sister of his wife's, out on the road In "Unorna." Mrs. Brune's husband's name Is Brown, but the the atrical hopelessness of this cognomen was clearly seen by Munro, and the more artistic Brune assumed In Its place. Munro'c contract with Mrs. Brune pnv vfdes that she shall not allow her hus?- hand to accompany the show. "As long as I can keep him away I can get along all right," Munro explained to friends In Portland, "but when he is around she won't work," and so the ex iled Mr. Brown has gone to gloomy Eng land. Attorneys before whom the matter of the dishonored drafts has been laid say that no criminal action can be sustained aeainst Munro. and his victims realize tha futility of a civil judgment. It will, however, be necessary for Mr. Munro to liquidate his debts at some luture time, if he intends to remain in the theatrical business in the West. Mr. Heilic- and Mr. Cort both say so, and they ought to know. OREGON'S GREAT FUTURE Irrigation Will 1'nrnish Homes for I Thousands, Says Elivood Mead. An interesting lecture on the subject of irrigation, particularly as It applies to Oregon, was delivered before the Board of Trade at Its chamber last evening by El wood Mead, chief of the Division of Irri gation in the Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C. Mr. Mead Is one of the foremost author ities on the subject in the United States, having made it a life study, and his views carry with them the result of many years of experience and Investigation. There was a large attendance of the members of the Board, who listened to his re marks with great Interest. After explaining that the present was his Urst visit to Oregon, and that he was favorably Impressed with what he had seen of the state, and particularly the City of Portland, he said in part: "The present Is the greatest period of immigration which this country has-ever known. This Is due largely to the unpre-' cedented advance In the values of farm lands in the Mississippi "Valley. Farms are becoming so valuable in that section that the average farmer cannot afford to work them, and finds the greatest profit to be made by selling his land to business men. who are seeking safe investment. These men are displacing the tiller of the soil, who naturally, having sold his farm. seeks a newer and less highly developed section. He has the capital to improve wild land and make the necessary outlay to bring It Into a high state of cultivation. Practically all the remaining wild land in the country which is tillable Is arid or semi-arid, and irrigation Is the first step toward making such land profitable, I believe that Oregon has the largest area of unimproved land, whereon irrigation is possible, of any state in the Union. In consequence of this the state offers the largest and most profitable field for the Immigration In the country. My visit to the state at this time is to investigate the Irrigation possibilities of the state, a ques tion -which. Is claiming much attention from the Department of Agriculture. "The first and most important thing to be considered is the available "prater sup ply. I -wish to cite the Pouere River "Valley, in Colorado, as an. example. This valley Is about 40 miles in length, sup porting a population of 23,009. practically every acre of which"" Is irrigated from the Poudre River, -which at low water sup plies only about 100 cubic feetf of water per second. This "Valley produced last year 7000 carloads of potatoes, and 150,000 head of sheep were shipped from it. The land ranges in price from $50 to $125 per acre. Oregon has vast areas, -which will produce eaually as well under scientific irrigation, and has sufficient water supply 10 "Tigs." uuue ciupeu. mw. aijc Deschutes River alone has a larger flow per second than all the streams which flow from the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, in Colorado. This state is the least developed, according to her re sources, of any In the United States, but I believe that the development is to be very rapid in the next few years. During the coming Summer the department will send a man to the state to investigate conditions In Eastern Oregon and locate stations for carrying out the plans which are being prepared for the systematic ir rigation of the vast area which is now a waste. "You should prepare for the problems which will arise from the vast population which will settle these portions ot the state when the Irrigation plans are com pleted by passing such legislation as will fix water titles as definitely as land titles, and thus avoid the -wexlng litigation which Invariably arises where a large popula tlon depends for its very existence on the available water supply." Professor James withy combe, of Cor-. vallls, director of the Oregon experiment station, was also present and made a few remarks bearing on the work of the sta tlon in irrigation matters. While in the city, Mr. Mead was the Kutat guest of the Bpard of Trade, and he was . .1 .... -i . , .1.. BoanL He leaves this morning for Wash- ington, D. C. MEMORY OF SACAJAWEA "Women Propose to Honor Only "Wo man With Leirl and Claris. At a meeting of the Sacajawea Associa tion yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. C. M. Cartwright, Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunlway was elected honorary president and Mrs. A. C. Glbbs, widow of the late Governor Gibbs, honorary vice- president. It was decided that application for charter membership not be made until after pioneer day, June 17. Ten thousand Sacajawea buttons are to be manufac tured, the proceeds from their sale to go to the statuo fund. Mrs. Gillespie offered the services of her self and of her class In elocution In an en tertainment to be given for the benefit of the association. Mrs. Gillespie's offer was accepted and Mrs. A. H. Breyman was made chairman of an entertainment committee. Mrs. Cartwright Is the head of a committee which will solicit aid from the church societies and has- already en listed the aid of Mrs. Moreland, Mrs Cornell and Mrs. Hoyal of the missionary and aid societies of Grace Methodist Church. Other Important business was the dis cussion of plans for a reception to be given In honor of Colonel William Han cock Clark, who will be here with Presi dent Roosevelt's party and who will re main in Portland several days after the uu'" xuciuucia UL U1C Vl n0rth. Another matter of Interest was the reading of "Ten Reasons Why the Women of the Northwest Should Erect -a Statue to Sacajawea," a logical statement drafted by the secretary, Mrs. Evans, for publication and distribution. Mrs. Evans' ten reasons are as follows: First Sacajawea was the only woman to accompany the Lewis and Clark expedition. Second She was their guide and interpreter. Third She protected them, when threatened. by hostile Indians. Fourth She procured for them food and horses when destltue of both. Fifth She saved their journals and valuable papers at the risk of her own life. Sixth She was the only one of the party who received no pecuniary compensation for her "services. Seventh While enduring: hardships and Buf fering-, she administered to the necessities of others. Eighth She welcomed with intelligent ap preciation the civilization of the white race. Ninth Over a million dollars will be spent in honoring: the memory of the heroes of the Lewis and Clark party and not a cent of it has been appropriated to the only heroine. Tenth She was the first pioneer mother to cross the itocKy .Mountains ana carry her baby Into the OreKon territory. Among the officers of the Sacajawea Association are many who are Identified with early times In Oregon. Mrs. Dye has written those two wonderful stories, "Mc Laughlin and Old Oregon" and "The Con quest," making heretofore unknown Ore gon history a chapter of Intense inter est in the story of American progress, Mrs. Cartwright Is one of the old. plo neers and for ten years has been chair man of "pioneer day." Mrs. E. W. Blng ham is a daughter of Isaac Stevens, Washington's first Governor. Mrs. Mont gomery Is at present serving on the Na tional Board of Lady Managers of the St. Louis Exposition, and Mrs. Farmer Is the grand-daughter of George Shannon, who accompanied Lewis and Clark to the Coast. The association's officers are: President. Mrs. Eva Emery Dye. Oregon City; first vice-president, Mb. C. M. Cartwright, Portland; second vice-president, Mrs. M. A. Dalton, Portland; third vice-president, Mrs. J. B. Montgomery, Portland; secre tary, Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, Oswego; treas urer, Mrs. A. H. Breyman, Portland. Dl rectors, Mrs. E. W. Bingham.

Templeton for free dental serv ice to the society. The trustees were autnonzca to em ploy an expert to audit the books and ac counts of the secretary ana treasurer. Mrs. C. R. Templeton, secretary of the advisory board, read an interesting paper. speaking of the difficulty ot finding desir able homes for the older girls In the care of the society. The work of Mrs. Graham, the matron, was highly com mended, ana tne rseeaieworK uuua was thanked for Its assistance. Mrs. Temple ton spoke very strongly in favor of free kindergartens in every destitute part of I the city, as well as manual training and domestic science schools. Treasurer L. L. Hawkins submitted his annual report, which disclosed a total of $235.31 left over from the current year's receipts, after paying all bills, and the total cash on nana to oe jmi.so. The board of trustees submitted a re port showing the society to be in a healthy and flourishing condition. Superintendent W. T. Gardner also sub mitted a report, which met with the favor of the board.

Some delay was caused when the supply of brick ran out a while ago and the brickmakers would not furnish any more. They soon resumed delivering brick and so the bricklayers got the Job done on time. Superintendent Jones ap prehends no delay In the construction of school buildings on account of the strike, and says work on the superstructure will go ahead at once, as the contractor says he can get lumber and workmen. The work of grading for the foundations of the North Central and Stevens Schools was started yesterday, and it Is expected to get the buildings completed without un necessary delay. WINDFALL FOR ROOSEVELT He Kinds Himself One of Owners of Valaahle Neiv YorI Lands. NEW YORK, May!! Most of the land owners in Harlem are not tne rigntrui possessors of their holdings, according to lawyer of this city. Heirs of Dutch freeholders of 250 years ago, some thou sands in number, on the authority of tills lawyer, are owners of Harlem, of a large part of Central Park and of about all of the- water front property on the Bast River from Seventy-fourth street to Har lem River, along the Harlem River and down the Hudson to One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street. The present day value of the property la conjectured to be $1,000,000,000. Prominent among the descendants of the alleged rightful owners' are President Roosevelt, Governor Odell and Putnam Sradlee Strong, son of the late Mayor Strong. In 1666-67 the Duke of York, through Colonial Governor Nichols, gave grants and charters to 23 men who were created a corporation known as the town of New Harlem, and later further grants and patents were Issued to the 23 and to "their heirs, successors and assigns forever." The plan of the lawyer In charge of the matter Is to gather a majority of the de scendants and. as he says, they are all by Inheritance members of the corpora tion, have them . hold a meeting, elect officers and parcel out the land among themselves. It is argued that quitclaims, leases or deeds executed by any de scendants of the grantees are void be cause no Individual had a right lo dis pose of the property, but only a right to vote at the corporation meeting. President Roosevelt, who traces his an cestry to the Brevoorts of colonial times, will. It Is announced, appear at the meet ing of the descendants. BY RELIGIOUS THEATER.

He came to New York almost directly from Zion City, the headquarters IN CONVENTION. Teachers Learn. Something Not in the Class Books. A number of young women attending a teachers convention at Oklahoma City some time ago learned a valuable les son In hygiene through a sister teacher, who says: "About a year ago I had my first attack of poor health and It seemed a terrible thing to me, for I had always been so well and strong. My stomach distressed me. terribly; it seemed like it was raw, especially after breakfast, and It would burn and hurt me so I could not rest. I was soon convinced that It was caused by coffee drinking and at the request of a friend I gave up coffee and began to use Postum Coffee. '.The change In ray condjtlon'was some thing marvelous. I had actually given up teaching because doctors were unable to help ray stomach trouble, but since I quit coffee and used Postum my troubles have disappeared and I have gone to teaching again. "Some time ago I attended a conven tion at Oklahoma City and determined to have Postum at my boarding house, where there were eight other teachers, four of them suffering from coffee sick ness. My landlady did not make the Postum right, but I showed her how, and we all found It delicious. We all drank It the rest of the time, we were there, and the young ladles In. question felt much better and declared that their beads were much clearer for study and their general health much Improved.
