Building Boom at Gbesham GreshaVn is experiencing 4 building boom In fine residences. Archie Meyers, cashier of the First State Bank, i6 erecting a new home on a 20-acre tract which he recent ly bought. It will cost about S4000. Arthur Dowtett has Just moved Into a new house costing about J2500. Al Hart will soon have a new home at a cost of nearly $3000. and several more fine residences are in contemplation. The new Methodist Church will be completed be fore Winter at a cost of $4000. and the school district will undoubtedly author ise an addition to the present school house, which will double ita capacity, at a. cost of about $5000. Numerous other smaller dwelling-houses are being built, and it is a safe estimate to say that the new buildings of Gresham for the year will approximate $50,000. Last Dat tor Patixo Taxes This is the last day on which taxes may be paid. After the Sheriff's office closes this after noon a penalty of 10 per cent will be added, together with Interest from the first Monday in April last. Last week was a busy one In the Sher.ff's office, as all the second-half payments were com ing in. and this being the last day, there will be the usual rush of belated tax payers who wish to escape the added penalty and interest. It is anticipated that the delinquent roll will be very Email this year, as only about $50,000 was due at the close of business Satur day night. It Is asserted by officials in the Tax Collector's office that there has been less complaint relative to paying taxes than ever before, which is taken as strong evidence of the increased pros perity of the country. Improve Troutdalb Plaxt. The Union Meat Company's plant at Trout dale, which is now said to be under the management of Swift & Co, is being operated to a greater capacity than ever before. Many new improvements have been made lately, despite the rumors that the plant will be closed down when the new establishment on the peninsula is put in operation. The people of Trout dale are In hopes that the old plant will be continued, as it means the life of the town, with its big payroll. Sanitary measures are being enforced, among which is a laundry operated by the com pany for washing the clothing of all em ployes who handle the dressed meat. Trainloads of stock are arriving from The East almost every day and the out put is the largest in the history of Trout dale. Apply for Naturalization. Hans Hansen Ifeide, a native of Denmark, and Carl Eric Nystrom. a native of Sweden, were the first petitioners for naturaliza tion under the new law which went into effect last Thursday. Both filed petitions with the County Clerk Saturday, and un der the provisions of the new naturaliza tion laws their applications for final citi zenship papers will have to remain on file 90 days. This will bring consideration of the matter on January 5 next. There after it is the intention of the County Clerk's naturalization bureau to obsig nate the first and third Saturdays in each month as the dates for taking evi dence relative to final citizenship papers. Complete Fill This Week The Union avenue fill, between East Stark street and East Oak street, will be completed this week. The fill has already been finished on the east side and the cars are now dumping dirt toward the center. It will be filled about a foot above the true grade to allow for settling. The ruins of the old East Side Hotel, which was crowded into the slough by the pressure of the fill, are being rapidly taken away and will all be gone in a few days. Seven other wrecked store buildings are till standing, but will all have to come down, as repairs seem Impossible. Woman's TJstjon Meets Todat. The business meeting of the Portland Wo man's Union will be held this afternoon at 2:30 at 610 Flanders street, where, in addition to the routine, several social features will be introduced. All mem. "hers of the union are cordially invited to be present and learn more of its ac tivities. Reports will be heard from all 6tanding committees, including the Wo man's Exchange. The regular social meeting will be held the first Monday in November, at 3:30 F. M., at the same place False Alarm or FIRE. Every Sunday for the last five weeks some practical joker has been turning in false fire alarms from different places on WasH ington street, and yesterday was no ex ception to the general rule. About 8 o'clock last night someone telephoned to the Are department that a big fire was raging at Tenth and Washington streets In the new Fliedner building, and several engine and hose companies promptly re sponded only to find that again they were the victims of a joke. Fixes Gold Mine in Orchard X. B. Crane, at one time Mayor of East Port land, arrived here on Saturday from Oroville, Cal., where he Is now engaged In gold dredging. Mr. Crane was former ly interested in orange groves at Oro ville. but sold out when gold was dis covered on his land and is rapidly be coming a millionaire through his profits on gold mining.

Osborne Clemson Admiral Noble Joseph Rtcard Holdo Rupert Chldlow Princess Teto Gertrude Hutcheaon Kitty O'Reilly.. Elle Frazoe Mabel Noble Margaret Felch 7T MUSICAL comedy, new to these r shores, was uncorked at the Heilig last night and its reception left no doubt that it looked and sounded good to Portland. "The Royal Chef" is tardy in reaching here, this being its fourth season. It's musical numbers were fa miliar to the majority of those in the audience last night, for the orchestras have been regaling us with "The Tale less Frog" and other selections for many months. This same music is of the typical Chicago variety. Gus Luders put the Windy City on the map so far as mu sical comedy music is concerned when he wrote "The Burgomaster" and all the Chicago vintage 6inca has been reminiscent of him and his first work. The score of "The Royal Chef" is by Bee Jerome, who sat at the feet of Luders and learned. It is tuneful pat ter. Catchy is the only way to describe it, and it keeps the audience tingling all evening. A more pleasing helping of light and airy 6inging is seldom of fered. The book is not up to the text. It lacks originality, particularly in its Jokes, which have all done long time in vaudeville. The most serious offense is the brazen theft of an entire situation from "A Texas Steer," the incident of Brander's kissing of the girl whose mother was kissed by Daniel Web ster. Charley Hoyt is long since dead and it really isn't fair to rob the dead. It is the first musical comedy of the season, which was in its favor, for it went with a hurrah from beginning to end The company presenting it is fully up to the Savage standard, which I consider a compliment. The ensemble singing is rarely stood and there are a number of splendid individual voices. We have reason to be grateful for the squad of chorus men which distin guishes the chorus. They are a fine looking lot of fellows, whose singing is exceptional. The girls are stunning, their voices and their feet thoroughly trained; they will haunt the memory of the show fans for a long time to come. The principal comedian. Harry Herm sen. is new to me. but he makes a very good first impression. He sings really better than most musical funny men and his efforts at laughter-making are well directed. His facial make-up suggests Hans Nix, and I'd like to place a bet that he's served in "The Telephone Girl.'" Hermsen. as the Chicago Alderman who became chef extraordinary to the Rajah of Olong. has the big song hit of the piece. "Let Me Go Back," which in variably sets everybody's feet moving. It's a corking tune and more than makes amends for any shortcomings which the show may have. A topical song that is musical is a rara avis, but "Let Me Go Back" Is one. Oscar Ragland has an exceptionally good baritone voice and a magnificent physique. There are few men in the business with his stage presence. When he let himself out in "A Rajah Bold Am I" the house went wild and recalled him over and over again. The tenor. Osborne Clemson, sings delightfully, his principal number being "When Old Glory Floats From Everywhere." Stanley Felch and Joseph Ricard. as the Prime Minister and Ar1miral. respectively, both sung well and are good supporting comedians. The women principals are unusually young and pretty, but not overburdened with vocal ability. Miss Felch has the best voice of the three. Her sin;ng is sweet, but of the "soft and low" variety. Miss Hutcheson is a most attractive girl with abundant magnetism, while Elsie Frazoe is a chic little person who dances delightfully and fairly scintillates en thusiasm. Scenically the show is good and the costumes in the number one class. Those who like a gingery musical comedy and one without ginger is like a cocktail without a cherry will find "The Royal Chef" very much to their liking. It is well worth the time and money. There will be three more performances. MASTERS SCORES VAUGHN Latest Contribution to Literature of Fourth-Street Franchise. PORTLAND. Sept- 30. (To the Editor.) I notice that in Councilman Vaughn's letter to Mr. Fenton in today's Oregonlan In the questions he propounds to Mr. Fenton, among other things he asks him if he does not further know that at a meeting of the ju diciary committee Mr. Masters Insisted that no report could be made at that time, and that he (Vaughn-) at the same time had in structed the Auditor to prepare a report rec ommending the passage of said ordinance for him to sign; that I did, after consid erable quibbling, instruct the Auditor that the majority report of the Judiciary com mittee, which consisted of Masters and him self (Mr. Shepherd being disqualified to take any part in the consideration of said ordi nance, on account of his employment by the Harriman system!, should recommend that the ordinance do not pass, and that I. as chairman, would sign such majority report While on a question of veracity between Mr. Fenton and Mr. Vaughn. Mr. Fenton needs no champion in this community, and I have no desire to appear as such. I do desire to correct the gross misstatement of fact concerning myself contained in the statement referred to. The statement is ab solutely false. The claim that no report could be made at that time was not made by me or any one else. The Council had directed that a report should be made. Councilman Vaughn and I could not agree on the report, and I told him that he could make his report and I would make mine. The quostion then arose as to which Ehould be the majority report. Some one I think Mr. Fenton suggested that the chairman's should be the majority report, and Councilman Vaughn stated that that was satisfactory to him, and it was made that way. The attempted suppression of the report and quibbling are purely creations of Councilman Vaughn s vivid Imagination. W. Y. MASTERS. VESSEL FOUNDERS IN. LAKE Crew of Steamer City of Mackinaw Unable to Give Aid. PORT HURON, Mich., Sept. 30 An unknown steamer foundered with its entire crew in Lake Huron, off Sanilac, at 3 o'clock this morning, during the northwest gale. The tragedy was wit nessed by the crew of the passenger steamer City of Mackinaw, which ar rived at Harbor Beach today. The Mackinaw was some distance away . when the unknown steamer foundered and cruised about in the vi cinity for some time in the hoDe of rescuing some of the crew, but in the darkness and storm no trace of them could be found, nor any clue to the identity of the vessel.

Gleason Colonel Ebeneier Pepper Leo Lindhard BT ARTHUR A. GBESN'E. P'HE LATE Charles H. Hoyt waa a I close student of human nature and he turned his knowledge to close ac count, for his pen was facile and his sense of humor strongly developed. Dur ing the period in which he wrote his many farces, he eatired many of the foibles of the American people. He was .kindly in the main, and most of his travesties are light and designed wholly for laughing purposes, but occasionally he struck a deeper note and held up real abuses and crying wrongs to the extent of pointing a warning. That he knew politics is well estab lished, for he figured in the game himself to the extent of becoming a member of the New Hampshire Legislature. His opportunities for knowing politics and politicians was exceptionally good, there fore his satire called "The Texas Steer." which has to do with politics, is one of the most effective farces which he wrote. It was presented yesterday by the Baker players and received the warmest kind of a reception. Miss Laurence is not in the bill, con sequently the principal feminine role fell to the lot of Frances Slosson, whose charming personality proved particular ly suited to the part of Bossy, vivacious daughter of the Texas Congressman. In every act she was the chief center of interest, and save that her performance might be Improved by adding a trifle more dash and abandon in the earlier scenes, her work could not easily be im proved upon. The part of Maverick Brander, who goes to Congress from a Texas cattle ranch and finds himself in a new and strange element, but eventually learns the ropes, falls to Richard Thornton. The role was created by Tim Murphy and successfully played by him all over the country. It is a big, breezy, sym pathetic character study, requiring the best of a good actor's abilities. Mr. Thornton handled it naturally and for cibly, , giving general satisfaction, al though the part is rather out of his lino. William Gleason gives one of his best characterizations as Colonel Brassy Gall, a professional lobbyist, the Captain Fair leigh Bright of Donald Bowles is played for al! its restrictions will permit, and Howard Russell does excellently well as Knott Innitt, the Congressman's private secretary. The Texas investigating committee. Wil liam Harris. John Steppling and James Gleason. made themselves as enjoyable as could be wished from such an eminent contingent of gunfighters. In the famous dinner scene they responded to Gall's ad mirable stump speech with beautiful fer vency. John Sainpolis is back this week, play ing Flshback. the negro who wants to be Minister to Dahomey, and find that "of-nce-seekin's mighty poor business." Sain polis gives the part the finished perform ance that is always expected of him. Mrs. Gleason doesn't miss anything in the lines or business of Mrs. Brander, while she brings to it that rare charm always in evidence in her work. Ethel Grey Terry is developing very rapidly. She plays the woman lobbyist ingeniously enough to deceive a more hardened vet eran than the Texas Congressman. Frances Arno is highly satisfactory in a part which gives her too little latitude, while Leo Lindhard appears advan tageously as Colonel Pepper. The production is excellent, particularly the first act. in which the reception to Brander is the feature. Tony La Brache makes his stage debut in this scene, and if Mansfield should see him he'd be con sumed with envy. The Baker's "Texas Steer" is one of its best efforts and will no doubt run through the week to crowded houses, as it de serves to do. LIGHT ON NAPPER'S PAST Driven to Drink by loss of Money in Bank Failure. Loss of the savings of many years was indirectly responsible for the death of Philip Napper. the aged hermit who was cremated alive in his shack at Twelfth and Overton streets late Saturday' night. The police remember that about 13 years ago Napper came to Portland from Ka lama, where he owned a large ranch, and while rooming in a hotel on First street was robbed by a man named Christy of nearly J500. The police recovered the money and Christy got a penitentiary sentence. The old man then placed the money in a Portland savings bank. When that in stitution failed a few months later Nap per lost a large part of the money. It is understood that the loss of this money so preyed upon Napper's mind that he took to drink, went from bad to worse and finally lost everything he had. For the last few years Napper had lived from hand to mouth, doing odd chores for people in the neighborhood and living a hermit's life in his tumble down shack. Charles Stern, a ' First-street liquor dealer, who was a friend of Napper, has notified Coroner Fln'.ey that he will pay the old man's funeral expenses. PERS0NALMENTI0N. Rev. M. D.

Flower Girls, Travelers, etc. BT FAR the best attraction offered by the Empire Theater this season is "A Millionaire Tramp." which opened a week's engagement at . yesterday's mat inee. This seems to be about the only tramp who has ever been given a genuine welcome in Portland, and his fame reached the town in advance, for it was a record house that greeted his appear ance. The' oozy little Morrison-street playhouse was crowded to the doors, "standing room only" being the slogan some minutes before ringing-up time. "The Tramp" as a show more than lived up to its enviable reputation, and the production is a high-class one in every sense of the word. It is difficult to place laurels on any one head, for the cast is strong and well-rounded. The comedy features are splendid and kept the big house in a constant uproar, while the pathos was sufficient to give it a very desirable balance. The story itself is plausible and well portrayed, and it kept the interest and sympathies of the audience enlisted until the last curtain-fall. There is a strong temperance moral running throughout it which kept everyone anxiously ex pectant, and the efforts of the villain to induce the tramp to give in to his arch enemy, drink, set the audience to hissing more than once, so real did it all seem. It is said that a villain that can bring a storm of hisses from his audi ence is a fine actor, and John Hall, in the roll of Dr. John Saiey. the scheming village physician, certainly succeeded in making every spectator thoroughly hate him and his machinations. He does a piece of work in the final act, where he suddenly goes insane, which is as good as one ever sees by the leading actors of the country. Mr. Hall should make such work his specialty, as he excels in it. Harry Toll, as "The Tramp," is more than passing good. His work has decided merit, and he tactfully keeps away from coarse horseplay and does not overdo his makeup, as the majority of tramp characters are prone to do. After seeing his performance it is easy to tell why the production has become so popular. Another fine character in this piece is Ezra Trumbull, the City Marshall, hotel keeper and manager of the opera-housei W. J. Mack does this role with a natural ness that appeals to his audience in tensely, and his marked characteristics are the secret of a great success. Louise Willis as Cynthia Trumbull, his wife. Is also splendidly cast and does fine character work. Alice Wentworth makes a pleasing soubrette. and Robert M. Jackson a good enough coon to fool the real article. E. J. Black and Alice Went worth are good in their specialty work, their singing and dancing proving im mensely popular. The other members of the company were all well cast. "A Mil lionaire Tramp" will be at the Empire all this week, with Saturday matinee. FfiEsn ouce i we OREGON' T7N1 VER SITY SOPHO MORES HAZE NEWCOMERS. Feature Is Wrestling of Two Young Giants From La Grande, Who Are Both Soused as Reward. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE. Or., Sept. 30 (Special.) Members of the sophomore class entertained the freshmen at a hazing party last night on Kincaid Field and later on the banks of the mill race. At the command of the dominant "sophs," the freshies responded with songs, jigs and speeches. Several of the new students proved re calcitrant and special exercises were in troduced. The feature of the evening was a wrestling match between Kilpatrick and Richardson, two giant freshmen from La Grande. Since a plunge in the race was to reward the loser of this contest, the two big fellows wrestled desperately, surging against each other like two bears until the master of ceremonies termi nated their efforts by ordering both to the cool waters of the race. In the 440-yard run the freshies proved that they have material for the track next spring, both in the sprints and the distance runs. The main programme for the evening was marked by the best of good fellow ship in both classes and after promis ing to tip their hats to the sophomores the young classmen were honorably dis missed. Later in the evening a kind of "third degree" was administered to three or four conspicuous freshmen, and though the pranks of the hazers were well taken by their victims, it is understood today that the University authorities will con duct a vigorous investigation with a view to stamping out the practice completely. The sympathy of the faculty and upper classmen is strongly against the prac tice and of late years their efforts have done much to bring hazing into dis favor. CAUGHT ODER TP SET STAGE Captain Winters Is Black in the Face When He Is Released. BOISE. Idaho. Sept. 30. (Special.) Captain Rupert Winters, manager of the New England Dredge Company at Idaho City, was severely hurt, and had a very narrow escape from death, in an accident to the Idaho City stage this morning. The stage was on the way to the latter place. When it was going down the hill Just this side of the Half Way House the brake bolt broke. The driver turned the horses into the bank to prevent a disaster and the stage was turned over. The captain was caught under the top of the vehicle, a portion of it resting across his neck. Physicians from the Half Way House rushed up the hill and released him, but he was black in the THE POLICY-HOLDERS ' COMPANY. Economically Managed Life Insurance.

Seven to one in favor of the, city team was the score in the first association football match of the Fall season, played between the Portland Association Foot ball Club and a team of sailors from the British, ships Galgate, Elaine and Visigoth at the league baseball grounds Saturday afternoon. Practically none of the Portland players are in any kind of condition yet, and the game on that ac count was not particularly showy, al though the nucleus of a fine combina tion system was shown by the light for ward line of the Portland eleven. The sailors were badly handicapped by lack of practice, their only opportunity for "soccer" being once or twice In a decade when they chance to land at some port where a team exists. A second game will probably be played next Satur day. There is plenty of first-class as sociation football material for a Portland team, and it is simply a question of getting it out and Insisting on some kind of regular training and practice. Meiklejohn was the sailors' best man. The Portland goals were scored by Mat thews (3), A. Mills (2) and McKenzie (2). and two of the seven were put through on centers from Kilpack. on outside right.
