CORDRAY'S THEATER This afternoon at 2: evening, 7:30. Edward Shields "Contin uous Vaudeville." Pioneers and Barlow Knives. Over 200 pioneers who have not heretofore at tended the annual reunions have been lo cated by George H. Hlnes during the past year and he hopes that the greater num ber of them will be present at the coming reunion. One of them is a pioneer of. 1842. He expects a very large attendance at the meeting on June 17, as he Is re ceiving from five to ten letters daily mak ing inquiries in regard to the affair. Half a dozen old timers who visited the collec tion of relics collected by Mr. Hlmes for the Oregon Historical Society a few days ago were much interested In a genuine "Barlow knife" lately added to the col lection. They had all owned one of these famous knives in their .boyhood and all agreed that it was the best kind of a knife ever made, and the best one to play "mumbleteepeg" with, because it was so evenly balanced. The old boys -would all have liked to have that knife out on n good grass plpt to play just one more game of "mumbleteepeg" for old time's sake. The game appears to have been forgotten, as none of the boys are seen playing it now. It was played by tossing or throwing the, knife In many ways, and If it stuck Into the ground a point was made. The poorest player was obliged to pull with his teeth a peg driven into the ground, and when the peg was long and driven well home, it was often necessary to mumble It considerably In order to get hold with the teeth, and then It was a hard job to pull it. The boy with large, strong, projecting front teeth, found them very convenient when he lost the game and bad to pull the peg. Lager Beer Supplants "Wine. A per Bon who attended a few evenings ago a banquet given by German residents to a party of their countrymen visiting Port land, was surprised to notice that there was no wine or liquor of any kind except a light lager beer served. Mentioning this to one of the hosts, he was told to ob serve the quiet, and good order and the 'entire absence of any sign of Inebriety which prevailed during the whole evening, and which was In marked contrast to the noisy hilarity which is so often seen when wines and liquors are served at a banquet. "You Americans," said the host, "have yet to learn to discard wines and liquors at your banquets. A glass or two or even three of mild beer makes smok ing a cigar more enjoyable and disturbs the dignity and good sense of no one. In Northern Germany," he continued, "when I was a boy rum was a common drink. It came from the West Indies and was very cheap and very productive of Intoxication. After a time It was discarded almost en tirely and lager beer took its place, and is much better. At first beer used to be made at home by most families. It was whole some and did not intoxicate. Then lager beer was Introduced. It was brewed in a different way, and, if used to excess, will produce intoxication, but ueed In reason it Is a mild and wholesome drink, and much better than wines or liquors. The Americans are now beginning to under stand and appreciate this fact, and there Is more lager beer drunk by Americans than by Germans in America." Repairs to J. W. Swank's Scalp. After six weeks in the hospital waiting for his roasted scalp to jrrow on again, J. W. Swank has been out a few days to enjoy the sunshine and fee the roses in bloom. but now he is to go back again and sub mit to the tedious process of skin or rather scalp grafting. A section of his skull, which Is still as big and as bare as the palm of his hand, will thus be haired over again. Mr. Swank was partially scalped while tending a derrick at Nlckum fe Kelly's sand dock six weeks ago, not with a tomahawk and scalping knife, but In a more modern style. The cable run ning around the hoisting drum became" disarranged and ho leaned over the drum to put it to rlghtjj. He was caught and dragged across the drum till his head I came In contact with a steam boiler and gently but firmly held there until his brains began to Dimmer and a quarter section of his scalp was crisped a beau- I tiful brown. His brain has cooled off dur ing his six weeks In the hospital, but he is still short on scalp, and the doctors are to graft on pieces till his head Is put to rights. Just where the pieces of scalp are to be obtained ;s not known, but prob ably Mr. Swank's friends will each con tribute a piece, in which case his hair will look like a crazy patchwork quilt. Ciobino Exercises or Lents School. The closing exercises of the public school at Lenta (District No. 12) occurred last Friday. The school has been in charge of Mr. Fisher as prlnolpal. and Mrs. Clark as assistant. Five boys and girls com pleted the studies of the eighth grade. passed the examination and received their diplomas. They were: Florence Toon. Percy Newman. Leister Toon, Victor Folk man and Cathie Anderson. Florence Toon vfon the distinction of making the highest percentage In the examination of any I pupil In the county. The closing exercises occurred in Lents Hall In the evening, at which an interesting literary programme was rendered by the pupils under the di rection of Mrs. Clark. The children ac quitted themselves so well that the ex ercises were greatly enjoyed by the large and appreciative audience. The fact that every pupil of the class passed the ex amination reflects greaf. credit upon the teachers as an evidence of the thorough ness of their work. The graduating class was addressed and diplomas presented by J. W. Brooks of Lents. How to Reduce Your Weight.

Take Regulator Una tt earners from Alder-atreet wharf, dally Trouble for Rose Growers. The life of a rosegrower, amateur or professional. Is not altogether a happy one. For weeks the amateurs have been watching and nursing their pets, at times putting wrap pings around them to protect them from the stormy blasts of early Spring and later pinching and pruning, and still later spraying and praying for warm weather to develop the buds. The hot weather of the past few days has brought the flowers out by thousands and yesterday they hung drooping on the sprays, while the growers waited for the cool of evening tb refresh them and make them pleasing to look at. The roses do not like the weather either, as it makes them feel as if they were born to bloom unseen and waste their sweetness on the desert air. These are the days too when the profes sional rosegrower sees trouble. All the bushes from which he has been gathering the long-stemmed American Beauty and other fancy brands of roses to sell at many dollars a dozen, have to be cleared out of his hothouses. On Saturday one grower was seen making away with 3000 rose plants, by piling them on a fire. Not only have all the bushes to be destroyed but the earth has to be cleared trom the benches and "thrown away" and the benches thoroughly washed and disinfect ed, and then fresh, clean earth can be put In and plants started last Winter set out to supply hothouse roses next "Winter. So it goes, year In and year out, showing that the lives of rosegrowers, like those of most other people, are made up prin cipally of labor and trouble. Mabonio Meeting This "Week.

Elmore, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, of Chatta nooga, Tenh., delivered the sermon at the regular Sunday morning service at the Calvary Presbyterian Church yesterday morning. Dr.' Elmore, accompanied by his wife, came West to attend the Gen eral Assembly, which convened at Los Angeles last Month. They have spent the past week in Portland and will return to Chattanooga tomorrow morning. Dr. Elmore's text was Acts, xxvill:15: "Whom, when Paul saw, he thanked God and took courage." The sermon pointed out hat only the man with cour age could successfully battle with the numerous temptations that are thrown in our way. He told how Paul took cour age when he was journeying to Rome to appeal to the Emperor, and described the effect of courage when a man has to face difficulties. He then said: "This Is what God exacts from us. We must face new experiences. It Is the only way to God, the only way we can go forward. Nothing Is better to carry us Into new experiences than a stout heart Changes distress us, upset us. But Paul was Jn the midst .of changes. He had to go to new places and mingle in different surroundings. He was a prisoner away from his churches, which he loved so much. He associated with few he had ever seen before. So we live amid changes. There is so much about us that changes our lives, our health, our friends, our business, our earthly affairs. Each year brings changes in our families, our churches and our Nation. God carries on his great purposes by changes. He says to us: 'Arise and depart, for this Is not your rest We have to adopt ourselves to new conditions. Old truths have to be adopted to new needs. The old has to give way to the .new. The now crowds the old presses it aside. There Is no place where courage is not needed in the tran sitive periods of life in church or na tion." CONCESSIONS IN PARKS. Provision of Refreshment and Amusements Before Park Board. The Park Board will convene in regular monthly meeting this morning to take up the matter of concessions in the City Parks. This meeting was to have been held Friday, but it was necessary to post pone it. More than ever this year there seems to be a demand for some sort of refresh ment stands in the parks and other forms of amusements. A number of people have asked that the miniature railway be al lowed to operate at the City Park for the special benefit of the little tots, who grow tired of wandering among the trees all day. Up to this time there has been an ab sence of any sort of concession in the parks, and the introduction will be a novelty. It Is true that at the City Park a candy and confectionery store has been operated just outside the boundary, but this is not running this year, and the little ones and their tired guardians have to seek elsewhere for their candy and soda water. The meeting this morning will be held In the Mayor's office, on the third floor of the City Hall, and It Is "understood that the matter will be discussed thor oughly. r WHERE TO DINE.

About 10 o'clock last night an old barn on the Hazel Fern Farm on the Base Line road, was destroyed, with Its con tents. The farm belongs to the Xadd estate. Tho structuro Is an old one, and was used only for storage of hay and machinery. Tho loss is estimated at ?800. I AT THE THEATERS r t "The Cat and the CherHfe." Dr. Wins Shea Ralph Stuart Wing- Sun Loer .... ...Priestly Morrison Chlra Fans Frank Camp Hoo King William Harris Hoo Chee Ernest Van Felt Hwah Kwee Mary Horns Ah Tol .Virginia 3rluao Opium fiends, highbinders, etc "The Pcaceraalcer." Archibald Dott .....Frank Camp Dorothy Dott Helen MacGregor Sylvester Sprague Ralph Stuart One of the strongest novelties presented at Baker's Theater this season is Chester Bailey Fernald's San Francisco character play In three tableaux. "The Cat and the Cherub," twice given yesterday at Ba ker's. This play has been a great success In tho Eastern States, and also In Great Britain, and at one time was the subject of a big lawsuit which happily has now been settled. Ralph Stuart's company cer tainly gave an artistic and clever presen tation, but last evening, at least although the audience gave every evidence of ap preciation, they plainly showed that they didn't know how to take the play. Three or four people in the audience .laughed in the wrong place when Dr. Wing Shee, a learned physician (Ralph Stuart), stran gles Chlm Fang, the keeper of an opium den (Frank Camp), because the latter pre viously killed the physician's son. These silly laughs spoiled an artistic stage scene. New scenery was painted for the occasion and has been splendidly worked up by Alta Tlschbauer. Chinese music at intervals is played behind the scenes on Chinese In struments by the theater orchestra. The Oriental costumes seen in Chinatown are of "punk" denote the character of the play before the curtain is lifted, and the action starts with Chlm Fang stealing Hoo Chee (Bertha Holmes) from his father. Hoo King (William Harris). Chlm Fang, the villain of the play, loves pretty Ah Yol, niece of Hoo King. Ah Yol is attractively played by Virginia Brlssac, and she loves the physician's eon. Wing Sun Luey (Priestly Morrison), and he de votedly loves her. Little Hoo Chee, with his black kitten. Two-Eyes. Is hidden by Chlm Fang, and the latter, for revenge, fatally stabs the physician's son. Mr. Stu art's acting when he discovers his son is dead is pathetic Then he finds the lost boy, restores "him to his father. In defense attacks Chlm Fang and strangles the mur derer with his own queue while a foghorn Is blowing outside to warn ships of their danger in the harbor. The climax is thrill ing in Its Intensity. "The Peacemaker," by Mr. Stuart and Dudley A. Bragdon, is a pretty little com edy, with a humor about It that Is de lightful. These two attractions will hold the boards at Baker's all week. HE PINED FOR HIS HOME Yonng Japanese Commits Suicide In Despair. After foolishly spending the money with which he was to return to his home In Japan. Shin Saslsryonebiyechl, who has been working on the Astoria & Columbia River Railway at Clatskanie, yesterday ended his life by cutting his carotid ar tery with a crudely-devised digger. The deed was committed In a Japanese lodging-house at 53& Fourth street, run by K. Inome. The young Japanese left his work Saturday and came to Portland. It was his Intention to stay here for a day or two, and then take a ship for his native country- Saturday night be went out with a number of other Japanese, and upon awakening yesterday morning found that he had no money. He was greatly discouraged, but none of his associates feared he would resort to the means he did to end his misery. . Four other Japanese slept In the same room with him during the night and, when they arose to dress, the disappoint ed member arose also, and they went to breakfast together. After breakfast he Eald that he would leave them for a while, and went back to his room. At 11:15 S. Nobukunl, an employe of the house, en tered the room and found the man lying lifeless upon the bed. The bed clothing was saturated with blood, and a pool of blood had trickled through onto the floor. The knife he used had been prepared by him especially for the purpose. He evi dently feared his pocket knife might close upon him If he used It, so by tearing up the towel in his room he had made an effective dagger of It Strips had been torn and wrapped around the handle and onto the blade, making the knife stiff, so that it would answer the purpose of a dagger. A close search of the man's belongings failed to reveal anything of especial value, but In one pocket was a note from a friend,' which read as follows: "I am sorry you are determined to go back. I hoped you would wait for mo. Inclosed find money enough to buy your ticket and buy meals on the road. May God bless you." The note was written in Japanese char acters, and was translated by one pf the acquaintances of the dead man. A care ful search failed to reveal the money spoken of, and the friends concluded that the suicide must have resulted from de spondency, after spending the money. The name of the friend sending the money was not given, and the Japanese In the lodging-house said they had not seen the man before he came to the house Satur day night A man giving his name as Sin Nobyuo was seen later in the day, and said he had known the suicide as a boy in Japan. "We grew up together," said this man. "We had often heard tales of America, and resolved that some time we would go there. In 1S99 we decided to make the trip. It took all the money we had, but we felt we could soon save up that amount after we were In America. We have both done well here, but he has never saved his money. We wrote to friends and later several members of his family came out I think that the roan who sent him the money is his brother, who works on the same road that be does. "I can think of no motive for his sui cide. Ho was very anxious to go back to his home. While here he spent all of the money he made, and often used to say that he could lead a better life If he was back In Japan. I saw him the next day after his brother sent the money, and he was In very high spirits. He copld talk of nothing but Japan and how he would enjoy getting back. I warned him against spending the money, but he scorned the notion. I think that be cither spent the money or was robbed, and that he was so despondent over not being- able to go back that he killed himself." Soon after the deed was committed Deputy Coroner A. L. Flnley arrived on tho scene. He took testimony from several of the Japanese In the house, but found no evidence of foul play. "I do not think It necessary for me to hold an inquest over the death," said he. "I am convinced that the man killed himself. If there was any foul play, some of tho people around here would know of it" WRAPPER SALE. S3c-llne cut to 50c Wrappers worth $1.25. $1.50 cut to S5c Special values in linen, duck and pique skirts.

Yesterday, at both performances, the theater was de lightfully cool by tho aid of a number of electric fans, and it was a relief to get Indoors away from the blazing sun. Only one-half of the pictures taken when President Roosevelt recently visited this city are shown this week the fea tures representing the parade of tho school children and the band with local musicians will be shown next week. Pic tures of the cavalry in the parade are now shown, also the President in his car riage, and afterward dedicating the Lewis and Clark monument A wonderfully good likeness has been secured, and tho President stands up and bows and smiles toward the audience. In the scene at the City Park the audience Is treated to a good view of Oregon umbrellas, which Is certain to bp a standing Joke as long as the pictures are shown. Then tho Presi dent begins to make his speech, and his characteristic gestures are immediately recognized and applauded. Stanley and Scanlon are well worth hearing In their musical comedy, and they live up to the high reputation that has proceeded them from the East Their musical portieres are a decided novelty. Mae and Albert Pleau are an attractive combination. Mae has a tall, command ing figure, and she dresses with fine taste. Yesterday she wore two handsome gowns and a beautiful picture hat etc She has a good contralto voice, almost baritone, and was encored for her pathetic ballad. "There's Somebody Waiting for Me." Cad Franks got a flattering reception for her song. "When Rueben Comes to Town"; also her partner, Horace Mann, for his patriotic ballad. "I'll Sing 'My Country, 'Tis of Thee,' When They Play 'God.

Lyndon and Wrenn shone in their duet "Out Among the Clover." Ernie and Honegger, both one-legged men, per formed remarkable acrobatic feats, and Joseph Thompson sang "When the Lilacs Bloom Again" and "You Aren't Changed a Bit" The same bill for all this week. TO CAMP WITH REGULARS Fnnston'a Plans for Guard of Three States. Unless tho War Department disapproves of the plans of General Frederick Funston,' the encampment of the National Guard organizations of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, together with sbveral companies of United States regulars, will be held at American Lake, near Tacoma, Waoh., be ginning September 15. An earlier date had originally been planned by General Funston, but he had found that his pro posed Alaska trip will require more time than he expected. The change is unim portant There Is little or no doubt that the War Department will approve the plans sub mitted by General Funston. It Is under stood that he has already "recommended that the encampment be held at the site suggested and that nothing save formal announcement of the department's ap proval Is awaited before final arrange ments are completed. The encampment will bring together about SO0O members of the National Guard. It will serve as' an alluring bait and all tho National Guard companies in the three states will be- recruited to their full strength before September 15. Between four and six companies of In fantry and four troops of cavalry from the United States Army will probably be sent to the camp. The strength of the regular Army is a matter of speculation, entirely, for a number of changes In the assignment of troops is to be made dur ing the Summer and some of the new companies will not reach the Department of the Columbia until October. The Federal Government Is to defray all costs of the encampment This Is the an nouncement of Army officials, and, while It Is true in the main. It Is slightly mis leading. The Federal Government under the Dick bill, defrays the cost of trans portation and subsistence. In addition the rate of pay allowed In the regular Army Is provided for the members of the Na tional Guard. So far as the officers are concerned, this is satisfactory, but the enlisted men will probably object They are allowed $1.50 a day In Oregon when ordered out on duty or for parade, and tho same pay is given In Washington. The different states will probably be called upon to make up this deficiency, a matter of $L02 per day for the enlleted men. While Army men are not entirely satis fied that this will be so, the success of the encampment this year will probably go a long way toward establishing the gather ing as an annual event The Government Is eager to gain possession of a large tract of land near the Coast where troops can be mobilized and the American Lake site will be given a thorough test In the maneuvers this Fall. Should the Govern ment take over the property, more fre quent encampments of National Guard and regular Army are expected. The coming encampment will be the second of its kind. A year ago a success was made of an encampment at Fort -Riley. In the East during the present year there will be a number of similar encampments at which state and Federal troops will be brought together. There is apparently no limit to the land the Goverment Is seeking for the en campment An area of four or five square miles is easily available, but regular Army men are speaking of the chances to secure four times that amount of ground. Upon the area obtained depends, in part, the success of the .maneuvers. The land near American Lake is of a rolling character, with occasional woods. It la not productive, the soil being very gravelly, but this feature is an advantage. There will be neither dust nor mud and the site of the camps will be easily drained. Good water can be had in abundance and railroad facilities are at hand. General Funston has declared that no sham battles will be attempted. He refers to sham battles as a country fair attrac tion and not sult'ed to the drilling of troops. There will bo plenty of maneuv ering, long marchea and hasty dashes across country to cut off imaginary sup plies. The occasional hills and the woods about the camp site will aid In carrying out this work, for it gives the variety of land that is had during actual warfare. Oregon National Guardsmen have been following the preparations with a great deal of interest and the announcement that the details are practically, settled has been received with enthusiasm. Contact with the men of the regular Army will be of great benefit to the Guardsmen In their drills and in perfecting their organization. Oregon Guardsmen will prepare to make a favorable showing 'against the .troops of other states. Salem Graves Are Marked. SALEM, Or., Juno 7. (Special.)

Brisk showers, which began in the small hours of the morning and continued throughout the day, cleared away the dense pall of smoke-laden fog that overhung the city for two days and permitted the fog-bound fleet of incoming Atlantic liners that lay off the bar all last night to pass in Sandy Hook. Among them were the Cunard's Lucania and Carpathia, which lay at an chor outside for CO hours; the St Paul, of tho .American Line, and La Bretagne, of the French: Lino, reached port just as the fog lifted, Tonight the rain here ceased, the clouds cleared away, and all Indications were for fine weather' for tho flrst of. the ocean races of the cup-defender 'yachts, which takes place off Saa'dy Hook tomorrow.

Many hair preparations are "fake" be cause they are merely scalp irritants. They often cause a dryness, making the hair brittle, and. Anally, lifeless. Dan druff Is the cause of all trouble with hair. It Is a germ disease. The germ makes cuticle scales as it digs to the root of the hair, where it destroys the hair's vitality, causing the hair to fall out. To cure Dandruff, the germ must be killed. "De stroy the cause, you remove the effect." Newbro's Herpiclde Is the only hair prep aration that kills the dandruff germ, thereby leaving the hair to grow luxuri antly. For sale by all druggists.
