Thomas Hlslop, from the Bast Side Improvement Association, laid the matter of opening East Washington street to full width, be tween Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, be fore the Board of Education. The north SO-foot strip Is opened, and the movement Is on foot to open the south half, now owned and occupied by private residents, whose houses are set back on the street line. Mr. Hlslop sugcests that the school district apree with the property-owners on the south side to Improve the block with a hard pavement and cement side walks In consideration of the dedication of the 36-foot strip, which would relieve them for all time of the expense of main taining the street. The object is to Bain a larger entrance to the school grounds, which will be occupied by two school houses. The matter depends very much on how the owners of the strip feel about the proposition. Favor Upper Deck for Bridok. Resi dents of Milwaukie and Oak Grove will ftrongly favor placing an upper deck for general traffic on the proposed Southern Pacilic bridge across the "Willamette River above Milwaukie. The new railway will pass directly through the pioneer town of Milwaukie, according to surveys that have been made, but no rights of way have been negotiated for. Much prl. vate property will have to be appropri ated. It Is intended to ask for a regular depot when a franchise is asked for. It is thought that the proposed bridge, if pro vided with an upper deck, will be a great benefit to both sides of the river, as there Is now no way to cross the river between Oregon City and Portland. Milwaukie ex. pects to get considerable 'benefit out of the new route and the bridge If the upper deck Is added. Home From New York. J. A. Newell, formerly secretary to Mayor Iane, who went Kast to attend the session of the National Encampment of the G. A. R. at Minneapolis, returned last evening, after an absence of two months. After attend ing the encampment Mr. Newell proceed ed to New York on business with his brother, and, finding that he could not re turn inside the limit. Informed Mayor Lane to get another secretary. Mr. Newell was at Saratoga when the Repub lican convention was held there. He says that Hearst will get a great many more votes than the public, thinks he will, and that his opponents are afraid of him and his vote-getting capacity. He does not pay that Hearst will beat Hughes for Governor, but thinks he will give the lat ter a close race, If he does not win the election. Annual "Home Gathering."

KIser, a local horticulturist and gardener, resid ing at 546 East Eighteenth street, has suc ceeded in getting some remarkable re sults from experiments In potato-growing. Mr. Kisser planted some seedlings from the new Burbank potato last Spring. From one of these seedlings he has se cured S6 potatoes of fair size, and from another 16 that are large enough for the table. The product from a dozen of these seedlings fills out nearly a peck. Mr. Kiser secured theso results in the yard back of his home. Farewell to Old Hall. Sumner Post, No. 12. G. A.

The Union-avenue hall Is on the third floor, and to climb the stairs is a hardship for many of the vet erans. They are pleased that a hall on the ground floor lias been secured. The rew quarters will probably be occupied within a month. Notice to Waoe-Earnehs. The steve doring firm of Brown & McCabe is adver tising for men to work on the grain docks.

During the shower .07 of an inch of rain fell during the first five minutes of its duration, and during the ten minutes that the shower lasted .13 of an inch fell. This is not a record shower, according to Lnl ted States District Forecaster EL A. Beals. for the precipitation has often exceeded this.

The vacation period will be the key to the programme, and five-minute papers will be read on suli jects pertinent thereto. Cottage Destroyed by Fire. A cottage occupied by E. T. Kuntz, and owned by the Hawthorne estate, at 694 Belmont street, was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. A defective flue was the cause. The loss was $1000, partly covered by In surance. The Kuntz family were in the house at the time, and were driven out Into the rain, but found temporary shel ter at the home of a neighbor. The fire gained some headway because of three breaks In the hose. hat furniture friends carried from the house was ruined by the heavy downpour of rain. Ladies' Night at Elks' Club. To night will be ladles' night at the Elks' Club. It will be the first evening of the season given over to the entertainment of the women friends of the members.

The soloists will be Mrs. Rose Coursen-Reed and Arthur Alexander. The elegant quartern have been beautifully decorated for the occasion. Scarcity op Material. Lack of build ing material is seriously delaying build ings under construction In 9t. Johns. The Holbrook blocks, on Burlington and Jer sey streets, have dragged along all Sum mer, although tenants have had options on leases for months, and are anxious to open for business. The Stein structure, as well as the C. Gee Wo brick, both on Jersey street, have met with similar de lays. Labor is also very scarce, making the situation worse. Condition op Judge Caples. Judge John F. Caples, who has been seriously ill for the past week, showed some signs of Improvement last night. He was able to help himself much better than he had been, and even managed to stand for a short time. He Is still suffering consid erably, however, and complains of his throat, the upper portion of which seems to be paralyzed. Condition Is Serious. The condition of ex-Recorder J. AV. Hanks is very serious, a complication of diseases rendering his recovery exceedingly doubtful. An effort will be made to take Mr. Hanks to a Portland hospital for a surgical opera tion, in the hope that it will effect a cure. Creates Board of Health.

Horn f Trlxle Evergreen Elizabeth Spencer I Flo Dobbins Florence Coolman I Astoria Dobbins Ann Pelham i Muggsy .. . Eelma Harris BY ARTHUR A. GREBNH ANOTHER Chicago musical comedy came to the Heilig last night on a once-and-only pilgrimage. "The Maid and the Mummy" it was, and from the point of view of the audience It was good; so It doesn't make any other difference if the audience liked it. Fred Warren, a heavy-weight, who apparently makes no effort to come down to weight, was the principal comedian and he worked harder than a farm hand in a hayfield. Sometimes he was funny the audience laughed at him all evening. A good-looking youngster, Earle Dewey, who looks like Paul Gilmore. possessed the com pany voice at least he and an excep tionally good chorus baritone supplied the vocal efforts that were musical. The most taking number was "The Little Village Cut-Up." sung by Selma Harris, a cute soubrette. assisted by the chorus. Some of the Jokes were good. Ches ter Murphy and I agreed that this was the best: The leadin' loidy asks of the fat comedy lead: "Do you shave all the time?" "No." he answers, "I stop for meals." Some of us appre ciated that one. Elizabeth Spencer, a Portland girl, had the principal feminine part, which she handled very well, considering the fact that until a week ago she was an understudy. I almost forgot to extend a hand to Edward Groh, who plays the Bra zilian nobleman. He's not half bad. The chorus 'is quite a pretty aggre gation and is certainly not lacking in willingness, although its singing capa city is limited. The piece is a frothy, disconnected affair: the book and lyrics being by Richard Carle are consequently stupid but Robert Hood Bowers, whose name always suggest"! the "Bostonlans," al though it shouldn't, has written k few very pretty numbers. The prettiest thing in the two acts was' the or- Secrets Secure In our Safe Deposit Vault, which is absolutely fire and burglar-proof. Boxes $4 and up per year, ac cording to size and loca tion.

People who are not discriminating will agree that "The Maid and the Mummy" Is a good show. It Is said to have been a scream in Walla Walla. PARSIFAL COMING. Wagner's Beautiful Drama at Heilig Theater Next Week. A fact that speaks volumes for the moral tone and Christian teachings of Wagner's beautiful spectacle of "Par sifal," which comes to the Heilig The ater October 19, 20 and 21, is the uni versal Indorsement given it by all churches and congregations. Irrespec tive of nationality or creed. Lectures and sermons have been delivered on the subject In nearly all of the churches of the country. The Y. M. C. A. and the T. W. C. A. as well as all the leading debating clubs and literary societies throughout the land, have had "Parsifal" elucidat ed to them in some form or other. The Presbyterian Synod had the matter brought before it for action. After thoroughly discussing the question, the unanimous decision was In its favor, with consequent permission to witness It.
