Natives and former residents of Pennsylvania are to meet In the lobby of the Council Chamber at S o'clock this evening to con sider the advisability of organizing a Pennsylvania Society to welcome and in terest as iar as possible. Pennsylvanlans who may visit Portland during the Lewis end Clark Exposition. It may be remem bered toy a few that In March, 4836, a Pennsylvania Association was organized which lasted about three years. That or ganization had a membership of fully 200, at which .121 were residents of Portland. As this city has quadrupled in population el nee then it is likely that enough Penn sylvanlans can be found to form a strong organization, which can do their adopted '.state a great deal of good. If there are (those in sympathy with this call who cannot attend the meeting tonight they 'are requested to call up George H. Hlmes, Oregon Historical Society rooms. City Hall, and he will record their names and report them at the meeting this evening. An Lmpudekt Agent. It would not be cafe for any more agents to visit the houses In Hawthorne Park addition, on East Twelfth street, and Hawthorne av .enue, for a month or more. Nearly every woman In that addition is prepared to tgive all agents a warm reception. The cause of this open warfare on agents is on account of the impudent actions and methods of a picture agent who under took to work that addition during the week. This particular person forced his way Into houses when he found there Fwere no stalwart men around and in each instance compelled the lady of the house to listen to his tale, even in cases where he had toeen told she did not want to waste time. He would take no rebuff and usually placed his foot inside the door to prevent Its being closed In his face. There was general iridignatjon among the husbands when they learned of his visits, and Mr. Agent might not afterward rec ognize himself if any of them could get 'their hands on him. To Revise the Property Law. The jcommlttee appointed at the meeting or (Evening Star Grange, No. 27, Patrons of iHusbandry, Saturday, to draft resolutions (relative to revising the present laws gov "crning the property rights of husband and wife will meet tomorrow afternoon at Tthe office of J. J. Johnson. The commit tee Is composed of J. J. Johnson, A- F. filler, W. S. White and C. H. Welch. This Is pursuant to a resolution intro duced by W". S. White. The committee will present the matter to the legislative committee of the State Grange. The ob ject Is to get laws passed making It pos sible for the husband to. dispose of his wife's property at her death and also for the wife to dispose of her husband's es Itate at his death, without the present method of appointment administrators, with attendant expenses. Prize Wagon Causes Dilemma. The wagon given by Studebaker Brothers to Clackamas County for making the best agricultural display while the National Grange was In session in Portland is proving an elephant on the hands of the granges of that county. Several plans Iieve been suggertetl lor disposing of the wagon, but none so far has met with the approval of the several granges. One proposition was to raffle the wagon oft and turn pver the money to the fund to be used In making an exhibit for the Fair, but this has not been agreed upon.. The disposition of the wagon will come up at the meeting of Pomona Grange, which will be held the third Wednesday tof the present month at Logan. To Raise Funds for LiiJrart. A mass meeting of "the people of Sellwood will be held Wednesday evening of this week In Firemen's Hall, to complete the funds to maintain a reading-room and circulating library In thai portion of the city. A ehort literary programme will be ren dered. Also several short addresses will "be delivered bearing on the project and Its 'purposes. One-third of the money re quired has been subscribed to maintain rthe reading-room, and it is hoped to com. jplcte the subscription at this meeting. On establishment of the reading-room for Jone year a movement will follow to estab lish a branch Y. M. C A., with a gym 'xiaslum in connection with It Philippine Veteran Bcried.

While the owners of property on East Stark street are nearly unanimous In fa vor of having It improved to East Twen tieth, where It connects with the Base Line road, there Is a wide difference of opinion as to how the cost of the fill be tween Tenth and Twelfth streets should be met. Most of the property-owners on the part where the fill will be made, if made at all, think that there should be a district assessment, and that owners on the high ground should help pay the cost. It is pointed out that at some points the cost will almost confiscate the property. On the other hand, owners of the solid ground lots object, and say that the own ers of lots abutting on the gulch bought them at very cheap prices, and that a fill will only add to the value of the lots abutting on the AIL When the question as to how the fill shall be paid for is settled, the improve ment will be made. The present agita tion Is to have the Improvement made from Ninth street to Twentieth. There is already a contract out for redressing the street between Seventh and Ninth, and these two blocks drop out of considera tion entirely, but the elevated roadway between Seventh street and Grand ave nue looms up In large proportions. It must be redecked before the entire street can be reopened, no matter what improve ments may be made beyond. G. R. Mat thews reports that some of the property owners on the elevated, roadway agree to furnish material if the1 city will do the work. If this Is done It will Insure the reopening of the street to East Twen tieth. East Stark is really the moef. important street leading from the river, as it con nects with the Base Line road at East Twentieth, and with all the bridges. "It is a street that extends clear to the Sandy River," says one property-owner. At the meeting which will be held Tues day evening the cost of Improving the street, with a fill between Tenth and Twelfth, will be submitted by Council man Sharkey, and W. L. Boise, of the Executive Board, will be present to say what the city will do to help out In re decking the roadway between Grand ave nue and Seventh street. W. E. Splcer, representing the property on East Stark between Union avenue and East Water street, says that it is the intention to have that part filled, an$ hopes to see the street east to Twentieth Improved. DEFENDS FEEDING GROUNDS. Duck-Hunter Says That Preserves Are Necessary. PORTLAND, Jan. S. (To the Editor.) There appeared In your columns today an article on the much-talked -of game question. In regard to the feeding In lakes for duck shooting or "slaughter. as the author terms it. He claims that the ducks are lured Into the lakes and then killed with all manner of patent automatic firearms and by other unsports manlike methods. Now there was a time. some ten or fifteen years ago. that this gentleman's argument would hold good. but since sqpie square-headed Dutchman conceived the Idea of inflicting upon the good people of this country a pest In the aXirm of a fish known as carp it is dlf ferent. In the good old days before Any such nuisance was Introduced the islands and lakes along the river afforded the fjnest kind of bunting, since the carp nave be- FROMISING CHILD ACTRESS THIS WEEK AT THE COLUMBIA THEATER. Mamie Ha&lam, IS Tears Old. Mamie Has am. 12 years old. Is a young; actress who shows considerable merit, and who Is the young-eft mem-, ber of the Columbia Theater Stock ' Company. Born at Bdlnburg, Ind., the little girl Is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Hat-lam, and came here several years ago with her parents, her home being at 91 First street. She received her education vat the Atkinson School, and "manifests creditable dra matic Instinct. She has been "on the road" already, bavins trawled last sea eon with Prank Bacon In his "Hills of California" Company. She has played child parts at the Marquam, Cordrays and the Columbia Theaters, and this week at the latter theater will play Miriam In 'The Holy City." come so numerous public duck hunting has become a thing of the past, and the old stands and sloughs, once the favorite haunts of the old-time river hunter, are seldom ir ever hunted now. A few years after the advent of the carp ducks began to grow scarcer each year until one day. to the dismay of all those interested, it was discovered that the carp had exter minated the wapato and other native veg etation from which the ducks were ac customed to feed. There didn't seem to be any way of getting rid of the evil, so the Idea of feeding lakes was -hit upon and carried out by those who could afford It. If it were not for those who feed their preserves, ducks would be;omi a scarcity indeed, and if the limit for a day's shoot Is brought down much lower than it is how there will be very few who can afford to keep their preserves, for duck hunting today Is a luxury that Is not to be enjoyed by every one.- and while it seems a little cruel to lure the poor, unsuspecting birds to a lake by feeding them all week and then to go down on Sunday and shoot them, it costs the hunters quite a neat sum for the privilege and they are entitled to all the pleasure they derive from It F.

Judged from the "-number of people employed, the conscientious handling of the various parts, elegance as to costum ing and settings, and the Importance of the play Itself, the undertaking is a great and splendid success. The story of the drama is the familiar Biblical one of the redemption of Mary Magdalene, the raising of Lazarus, the be trayal of the Nazarene and his death upon the cross. , The plot suggests, at times, "Ben Hur," and at others "Mary of Magdala," tooth of which have been seen here recentlrTl but tne story Is treated differently for the greater part. when one considers the seriousness of the motif and the delicacy with which it must be handled, the tremendous scenic requirements and tho great demands upon tne acting ability of any company, he must marvel at the wonderful results ob tained. It must have required weeks of rehearsal and an immense amount of study and labor in preparing the scenery and effects, and the outlay of a large amount of money. Manager Ballard must assuredly have the courage which scales battlements and takes cities to offer the present production at Columbia prices. The play adheres as closely to the Scrip tural account as seems wise for stage purposes. As in Mrs. Flske's "Mary." lib erties are taken In the introduction of attachment between the Magdalene and a favored lover. In the latter play it is Judas who seeks to tempt ' he erring wom an from her devotion to the Messiah, but In "The Holy City" It Is Barabbas who would come between. Otherwise the characters and incidents are true to the accepted version. After, seeing this newest and greatest play which the Columbia players have submitted for our approval, we must raise our already high estimate of that organi zation's acting strength. One of the sur est tests of the actor's art is the ability to sink personality in the character en acted. The individual players whom we have seen in a varied round of parts at the Columbia have never done this so effectively as in the present Instance. Mary Is, of course, all Important to "The Holy City," and Miss Countlss thor oughly understands - this. Her undertak ing is so great that the very best of ac tresses might quail before the thought of It. With complete understanding of this responsibility she studied the part until she has gotten completely into the spirit of it, and her acting Is of the highest order, from the opening act, when she appears as the petted wanton of Jerusa lem, holding revels in her debauched court, until the final moment, "when she stands, purified and redeemed, transfixed with spiritual adoration in the glory of the cross. Miss Countlss was daringly ambitious to attempt Mary, and her fine achievement In the role establishes her as an actress of great power and possi bilities. The Barabbas of Mr. Baume is splen didly conceived and effectively acted. In no part which he has dope here has he displayed better capabilities. As Mary's lover he Is repressed but stalwart and commanding. The capacity for good that is in the man Is evident from the begin ning, and when. In the end, ho accepts the way of the Man of Sorrows and Joins hands with Mary and the Disciples as a follower you feel that It was inevitable from the first and that it Is logically so. The popular Idea of Judas Is well real ized in the work of William Bernard, who appears as the betrayer. It is ques tionable if he would not be more convinc ing if he adopted a more virile voice and manner In certain passages, but In his scene before Pilate he is very impress ive. Donald Bowles and George Bloomquest as Peter and John, respectively, are hard ly recognizable In their new dignity. Both Kmay credit themselves with giving fin ished performances. William Dills also gets far away from his accustomed work In Caiaphas, the high priest. It Is a far cry from charac ter comedy to the assuming of the big otry and arrogance of the chief perse cutor of the Nazarene, but Mr. Dills ac quits himself splendidly. George Berrell Is good as Pilate, and Scott Seaton in the part of Zacharias is admirable to the last degree. Herbert Ashton makes an ideal Centurion, Walter Johnlgen is sat isfactory as Lazarus, and Charles Tork snows a decided advance in an impor tant assignment. In the man's habit of a dissipated young Jew, Louise Brandt appears to remark ably fine advantage, and reads her lines beautifully. Laurettc Allen makes the part of Martha sympathetic and natural. Blanche Douglas and Dot Bernard are seen as Greek dancing girls, the latter's dancing being rarely graceful and unique. Roy Bernard Is delightfully cast as a co quettish Roman maiden, while Marion Barhyte as Hagar and Mamie Haslam In a child's role get all that is possible out of their parts. The action of the play occurs at Mag dala and in and around Jerusalem. There are five acts, each one being lavishly mounted. The light effects are very Im pressively bandied, and In every detail the play is splendidly produced. The larg est audiences in the history of the thea ter saw the two performances yesterday. "The Holy City" will run all week. A. A. G. UEBE CAN'T RETAIN OFFICE Werleln Explains Position of Tem porary Deputy In Treasurer's Office. In explanation of the statement of City Treasurer Werleln that there were other violations of the civil service provisions in addition to the one credited to him in the Copland case, the following state ment was given out yesterday; "Mr. Llebe is merely employed. In the City Auditor's office as a temporary deputy. His position is given him from month to month and he is not a certified deputy. He failed in the examinations for clerk and also those for deputies. At present there are no ellglbles. An exam ination will be held for Auditor's deputies In a few days, and as soon as possible a man will be certified to succeed Mr. Llebe. He will not only, have to go. but is ex cluded from taking any more civil service examinations." WTTrTRE TO DENE.

Har ry West and Harry M. Price, even If they are billed as horse doctor and ladles' tailor, arc a pair of happy comedians that are well worth spending a couple of hours with. If they have ever known anything about the knockabout Englleh- slaughtering. low German-comedy busi ness, they have "cut it out." and while they still retain the German dialect, it is not so thick that it cannot be digested. The play Is Just what Is claimed for It a farce-comedy. There are three acts, and all are bristling with good, clean fun. While the two '"Dolphs" are the show, the entire company is a clever one. The songb are new, and the specialties, and the good folks who do the "stunts" are pleasing. Naturally, when a horse doctor lays aside his cure for bots and ringbone to become an assistant ladies' tailor, he wants to go "r-r-r-round." It was this and a few other family mix-ups that brought round after round of laugh-ar-sfmJthe Sunday theatergoers who were at theBnapirtr'yesterday. Coming on the heels of the "Show Girl," which delighted thousands of Mr. Baker's pat rons, "Rudolph and Adolph" had a high water mark In the line of entertainment to meet, yet their splendid company filled the bllL The mlrh and the mix-ups came with the twinlike appearance of the two Dinkensplels.

There was also the gasman, the express man, the janitor and the cook, and the soubrette (Anne Gilbert), looking for ex perience, which efie. found. One of the clever things done by Messrs. West and Price was the shaving scene. The pair bad made up their minds that they looked too much allko, so, to avoid further confusion, they decided to shave. Both thought of the same scheme and both shaved, so the confusion and entanglements went on just as merrily. The specialties done by Bessie Phillips, Gertrude Taylor, Ada Henry and Messrs. West and Price, Albert C Wahle and Robert B. Mack Is a'show by Itself. "Ru dolph and Adolph" will be on. the boards at the .Empire tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. SAYS BARTENDERS BEAT HDC Police Pick Up Man Who Will Cause Arrest of Assailants. Beaten to a pulp and claiming to have been kicked out of Fred Fritz saloon. Second and Burnslde streets, Rudolph Groeger at 3:30 o'clock yesterday morn ing limped about until found hy Police men Courtney and Jones, who escorted him to headquarters. There he told to Captain of Police Bailey and the station staff his story. Captain Bailey Instructed Groeger to appear before the District Attorney today and repeat his story, requesting for war rants of arrest for three bartenders, said to have been on duty at the time of the trouble In Fritz' saloonv As a result of Groeger's case, warrants will also be asked for the arrest of Fred Fritz, the proprietor, charging him with a violation of the 1 o'clock closing ordi nance, now being enforced as strictly as possible by Captain Bailey and the patrol men of the second relief of police. This Is the second complaint to be lodged against Fritz, he having recently been fined $23 for violating the ordinance. "I went into Fritz' saloon and spent more than $10," said Groeger, in detail ing his Btory to the police. "I was with a woman, who precipitated the trouble. that led to my being beaten, by ordering a fifth bottle of beer, without my consent. I had drunk and spent enough with her, and I refused, when she ordered, to pay for another bottle Then the three bar tenders, who were working at 3 o'clock, attacked me. You can see what they did. I was struck In the face and' on the head by all three men, each of whom was larger than L After beating me unmer cifully, they kicked me out of the place and Into the street." "This Is an outrage." said Captain Bai ley. "I shall make a vigorous effort to have Fritz prosecuted for keeping his establishment open after the hour for closing. It has been but three weeks since he was fined J25 for a like viola tlon." Groeger Is a. baker. Is a member of the local union and Is quite well known. He Is at present In the employ of the Loir- Cabin Bakery, in Alblna, and lives at 10 East Tenth street. He promised Captain Bailey he will swear to complaints against tne three bartenders he says were on dutv when the establishment should have been closed, charging assault and battery. The cnarge oi violating the early-closing or dinance will rest with Chief Hunt, who does not permit his captains or any sub ordinate to swear to any kind of com plaints without his consent. All the facta were laid before him In a written report ay i-np tain uaiiey. GAYEE EMBODIES ROMANCE. Present to State Horticultural Society Has Strange Story. A gavel to be presented to tha State Horticultural Society by Dr. James Card well Is of great historic Interest, in that It Is made of the wood of an apple tree grown from the first seed ever brought Into the Northwest country. The seed was planted by James Bruce, gardener of the Hudson's Bay Company at Vancou ver, In the Spring of 1S25. and the tree at the age of SO years, still bears good sound fruit. The gavel In question was made from a branch which had to be trimmed from the main tree, and on the smooth end, whose Innumerable rings show Its advanced age. Dr. Cardwell has written something of the history of the tree. In 1S25 a number of young men in Lon don, who were about to embark for America to enter tho employ of the Hud son's Ray Company, were given a fare well dinner by some young women. Dur ing the course of the meal one of tho hostesses carefully picked the seeds from an apple she was eating, wrapped them in a paper and put them In a friend's vest pocket, bidding him to plant them In the far-away country to which he was start ing, and to raise trees and fruit In mem ory of her and of1 home. Others about the table followed her example In Jest, and the result was that the young men In question started to the New World with seeds of apples, pears, peaches and grapes in their pockets. Arriving at Vancouver In the Spring of 1S5. they gave the seed to pr. McLourh lln's head gardener, James Bruce, bidding hJm carefully plant them. This was done, and from the seedlings fine fruit trees were grown, which soon produced quantities of perfect fruit There is a letter on record written by Mrs. Whitman as early as 136, telling of a visit to Vancouver and a walk through the well-kept gardens of Mrs. McLough lln and Mrs. Tolise. She mentloas the fruit as belar extraordinary la thte place. and a welcome after the dry, dusty trip across the plains. Grapevines and straw berries are sLsq mentioned by her, and all sorts cf vegetables. WOULD HUJCT "WITH DOGS. Man Shooting Unaided Usually Wounds More Birds. HAMPDEN GRANGE FARM. Wpodburr. Or- Jan. 3. (To the Editor.) I have read with much interest the recommendations of the State Game Warden, as published In The Ore go ni an. There can be no possible doubt as to the soundne'ss-of many of them, notably those relating to the merciless slaughter of ducks. With reference to the hunting of upland birds without dogs, how ever. I beg to say that this would be an In novation that would. In my opinion, not lead to the conservation of the game, and for the following reasons: The man who hunts behind a well-trained dog If he de serves the name of sportsman or hunter, will, when his dog comes to & point on a bird, or a covey of them, hrlng down one or perhaps two of them, the rest get away unharmed. On the other hand, the man who hunts alone and without a dog invariably shoots at top great a distance and conse quently often malms birds which he does not get and which dlo or are devoured by vermin In brush or timber. No one will hare a reasonable objection to a low limit. Farmers rarely kill more than a brace of birds at a time and thousands of Oregon farmers never kill a bird at all. It Is your city hunter of the present day, the one of the "get all you can" persuasion, that plays havoc. In large proportion, he Is a novice with a gun. rigs himself up In a costume more suited to the vaudeville stage than the hunt- In; field, and. blazes away at any and every old thing that carries a feather, a terror to fanners and a destroyer of anchor fence fre quently. There was a time In this old Oregon of ours when a few Portland sportsmen taxed them selves lo protect the magnificent birds the late Judge Denny so generously presented to us, and Incidentally to other sections of the "Union, butfc their ranks are now attenuated, the Sim Relds, Schencks. Monnasteses and others are gone or going fast; the few that are left are too old to climb fences and too honest to carry wire nippers, and the younger generation and recruits who are now denizens of Oregon, have too little Interest in the pro tection of our game, hence drastic measures are necessary. It Is about 30 years since the Denny pheasants were Introduced here. Since that time no new blood has been brought to the state at least. I know of none except a few dozen Japanese quail (German wachtel), which a former Portlander liberated at what is now Macleay Park, on the Cornell road, about ten years ago. and which other Port landers exterminated In one season. The Bob White quail. Introduced by the late D. P. Thompson, has also become almost an extinct species n Oregon, while the rlngneck or Denny pheasant has very much changed Its habit. since It has 6ecome acclimated In Oregon and "Washington. It frequents timber and brush much more now than formerly. It also feeds on different food now than did Its progenitors that came v In a hamper across the Pacific. Now having regard to this change and the exigencies of the case, would It not be a good suggestion to the city hunters to band them selves together Into an improvement associa tion and tax themselves a little? Bring over from China, Manchuria. Corea and Japan a few hundred pair of some original Block and restore to us the white and golden pheasants, the Japanese quail and the beautiful Bob "White. I feel confident that I can find a few farmers who will assist with their mite, and at all events the farming community will not grudge the birds their food, which they con sume largely at Its expense. GEORGE POPE. EEPUES TO CAHTEEBTJEY. Baptist Minister Says the Anglican Church is Aping Romanism. LONDON, Jan. 8. Dr. J. Clifford, a leading Baptist preacher, in a letter written in reply to a response of the archbishop of Canterbury to a communi cation addressed to him by Anglican clergymen of America, of the hardships alleged to be Imported upon non-conformists under the education law of Great Britain, said: "If Americans have learned nothing else from the primate's letters, they would, at least, learn how to graduate in the art of suggesting much and hold lng back very much more." Dr. Clifford accuses the church of Eng land of not caring much for education as Americans understand, but more "for Roman and Anglican atmosphere." Multnomah Billiard Schedule.
