Just how much land will be appropriated
for the proposed: -widening of the street,
and what houses and fences will have to
be moved to 'conform to the new street

the street, there are few buildings that

of buildings affected on the north side
of the avenue Is In Montavilla. and these
buildings are mostly two-story iframe
structures. The Oddfellows' hall on

have to be moved back. Few dwellings
will have to be moved, as these are usual

street line. In Center Addition there are
several buildings. The proposition to

then jump to Kant Davis street at Kast
Twenty-second street and make it SO feet
wide to Grand avenue has been aban
doned. There are too many buildings on
Kast Davis street to make the movement
feasible, so all efforts will be coniined to
widening ICast Gllsan street.

ERNEST HASTINGS made his debut
with the Baker company yeBterday
under most favorable conditions, and
proved himself to be one of the most
finished actors who have ever played
leads in Portland stock.
The part of Courtice Jaffrey, gentle
man thief, forerunner of "Raffles," and
"Captain Swift" Is calculated to severe
ly test the ability of a leading; man,
and the fact that Mr. Hastings meas
ured up to it in every particular serves
to establish him in a most satisfactory
manner.
The story told by the play is that of
a man who wins high social position
through his brilliancy, charm of man
ner and lavish entertaining, but who
preys upon the social set, which looks
upon him as an arbiter, to the extent
of stealing jewels from women. His
vocation is that of the common thief,
and it is inevitable that he be finally
found out, 3o at last he confesses at
the cost of losing the woman whom
he loves, and ending his career In a
cell. A fatal accident saves him the
humiliation of going to jail, and so he
dies and the last curtain falls.
Mr. Hastings plays the role with
splendid repression and dignity. His
voice is sonorous and under complete
control, he Is distinguished looking
and wears his clothes well. I have no
hesitancy in pronouncing his Initial
performance an unqualified success.
In the capacity of society adventur
ess, Lillian Lawrence appears advan
tageously, much better than she usual
ly does in similar parts, for usually
she is not happy as the wicked vil
lalncss. Donald Bowles, Howard Russell,
James Gleason and 'William Dills, as a
quartet of young cotillion leaders,
nave about equal opportunities and
share honors' about equally.
"Woman," has her first big part this
week, and as Elinor Burnham, made a
very favorable impression, while Will
lam Gleason pleased his large follow
ing of friends, although he did not ap
pear entirely at his ease. He Is more
at home In comedy. Mina Gleason made
much of the small part of Mrs. Deane,
spiritualistic medium.
Lucile Webster, Eva Van Cleve and
Ethel Terry gave a satisfactory ac
count of themselves.
In the part of Hanby, the thief, valet
to the master rogue, John Sainpolis
added another to his long list of fine
character portrayals.
There have never before been such
beautiful settings or gowns on view
at tho Baker as this week. All the
acts transpire in interiors, and a small
fortune has been spent in making them
rich and tasteful. They are triumphs
of stage dressing. And the gowns of
the ladies! 'Really, girls, you mustn't
spend all your salaries on duds. The
preparation of those sartorial dreams
must have made business pick up at
local dressmaking shops, but the fem
inine contingent of the company will
be shy on Christmas money If they
aren't less extravagant.
Ernest Hastings and "The Social
Highwayman" are all right. Go and
see If I'm not correct.
Tonight's performance will be given
as a benefit for the Woman's Exchange,
which will make it a society event of
much local importance. The women
of the Exchange have been very active
in promoting the benefit, and a large
and fashionable audience Is already as
sured. "Quiney Adams Sawyer" at Empire.
It has been many a day since Port
land has enjoyed as entertaining and
wholesome a rural comedy drama as
"Quiney Adams Sawyer," which opened
at the Empire yesterday for a week's
engagement. While the scenes are fa
miliar New England settings and the
characters are nearly all of the rural
type, there Is something distinctly dif
ferent about the whole production and
it pleased the two big audiences of
yesterday right from the first line.
The company is far above the average
in the first plaee, and the setting of
the rural scenes is all that could poss
ibly be desired to make it realistic and
satisfying. Just to make things seem
like the real thing, a couple of demure
and well-trained sheep strolled about
the barnyard during the famous hns-kin'-bee
scene, contentedly chewing
corn-husks, while the lively action of
the scene went on. An immense maple
tree, aglow with rich, autumn-colored
leaves, in the middle of the stage, set
the house to applauding as soon as
the curtain went up.
There are 17 character parts in
"Quiney Adams Sawyer," and each one
is good and necessary. There may be
said to be two distinct stories running
through it, one the life of a beautiful
blind girl who finally recovers her
sight and marries the man, Quiney
Adams Sawyer, who furnished the spe
cialist and made her recovery possible;
the other that of a young girl who
has been raised in ignorance of her
noble birth and taught to believe that
she was a fledgling without an honor
able name. Hepslbah Putnam, the old
woman who has reared this young
girl, and who seeks to keep the secret
of her birth from her, is a hard and
heavy character, which is most admir
ably done by Margaret Gallagher.
William A. Williams, the Quiney
Adams Sawyer, is a splendid young
actor, handsome and much at ease in
his role. In Jane Tyrell, who enacts
the part of Alice Pettinglll, the beau
tiful blind girl, he has a clever foil,
for Miss Tyrell is not only a beautiful
young woman, but is possessed of much
histrionic ability. Alberta Keen is also
fine as Lindy Putnam, and Clara Cole
man does a Sis Hopkins character to
perfection, keeping the house in an
uproar of laughter. There are any
number of funny specialties, and the
other characters furnish all sorts of
fun. Horseplay Is happily eliminated
and thore Is no villain or adventuress
to cast dark clouds across the sun of
haplness.
The Empire Theater patrons have
not been so thoroughly pleased with
any production this season, and every
one went home with a good-natured
smile. There should be more plays of the
"Quiney Adams Sawyer" kind on the
road, for they are elevating and sat
isfying, two important features with
the theatrical public There will be a
special Wednesday matinee and the
regular Saturday matinee.

BEAUTIFUL, dainty little Maude
Fealy in a beautiful, dainty little
comedy won the hearts of everybody in
the audience at the Hellig last night.
"The Illusion of Beatrice" was plainly
written for Miss Fealy, and Martha Mor
ton, its author, did her work well. It is
a fairy tale for grown-ups and it suits
every characteristic of the sweet, girlish
star.
The inexperience of youth bars Miss
Fealy from the great heights Qf dramatic
art, and wisely the dramatist has not
called upon her to mount the heights.
It is a pure, simple story of a young
girl's idealism, the delicate pathos of her
disillusionment and tho happy finding of
her womanhood.
Maude Fealy is a rare white flower, re
freshing as a breath of cool, sweet air
in an overheated room. Her very pres
ence on the stage has a purifying influ
ence. Her's is the Innocence that art
cannot assume and after watching her
through the three acts of her play it
must be a sorry person who does not
feel a sympathetic goodness and that life
is not all sordid and hard and barren.
One Is- almost sorry that the little Prin
cess doesn't come into her own, but is
reconciled because she finds a greater
happiness.
The girl star is delightfully natural in
her methods. She safely avoids every
thing that is threatened and at times
displays unquestionable genius. Given
five years more of experience and she
will take her place among the foremost
women stars. As yet she, has not felt
deeply enough to play the great roles I
believe one must have known deep sorrow
and high Joy to play them, and Miss
Fealy hasn't learned those things yet.
The boast that she is the most beauti
ful woman on the stage seems well found
ed and in such a piece as "The Illusion
of Beatrice" she is not only a creature
of surpassing beauty, but an actress
whose work is ideal within limitations.
The supporting organization is evenly
balanced and uniformly good. It is a
short-cast play, there being but nine char
acters, all of them being well accounted
for.
It is a pleasure to welcome Blanche
Douglas back to Portland, for there are
most kindly memories here of her work
with the old Columbia company. She is
even more stunning In appearance than
formerly and her acting is noticeably im
proved. She has an important part and
makes it a particular feature of the per
formance. Her husband. Harrington Rey
nolds, plays opposite her and impresses
me as being an excellent actor. Jack
Webster, the juvenile lead, although care
less in his enunciation at times, fills all
the requirements. Joseph Coughlin as the
precocious elevator boy was a favorite
with the audience.
It will make you happy to see Maude
Fealy In "The Illusion of Beatrice.
There will be performances tonight and
tomorrow night.
Baker's Xew Ingenue Arrives.
Dot Seymour, the brillliant New York
ingenue recently engaged for the

day, and is at the Portland. She is a

panies in the country, and should be a
great favorite in Portland. She is

but admits that she feels much taller.

MRS ASSAIL
THE ITER
BOARD
Members Called "Fossils" and
"Back Numbers" in the
People's Forum.
SYSTEM ROBS THE POOR
Opponents of Rate Plan Pour Hot
Shot Into City Officials Domi
nated by Certain .Banks and
Big Landowners.
Members of the city water board were
characterized, as "fossile" and "back
numbers" at the' People's Forum last
night In a discussion of the free water
movement. The present plan of taxing
householders for the water they use,
instead of adding the cost of maintaln
ence of the city system to the tax levy
and making the property owners pay it,
was dubbed old fashioned. Speakers con
tended that the large owners of property,
whose holdings have been vastly In
creased in value by the laying of water
main through t'hera, should bear the cost
of the water service, rather than the
poorer classes who have to bear the
greater part of the burden.
1 he members of our present water
board are simply back numbers," said H.
D. "Wagnon, the principal speaker of the
evening. 'They would have made a
splendid water board for the seventeenth
century. This method, of taxing the peo
ple for .the water they use is one of the
highly improved machines for robbing
men and women. This thing of laying
pipes and mains around and through the
farms and' big tracts of vacant lands
within the city limits, thus greatly in
creasing the value of this property, and
making the poor renters pay for these im
provements must cease.
"The bringing of Bull Run water to
this city has dncreased the value of prop
erty here millions of dollars. Great
mains (have been laid through farms
owned toy rich men and along the busi
ness streets to protect large buildings at
the expense of the users of water, the
renters, many of whom have to eat their
dinners from tin buckets while sitting on
the curbs near their work. Let the peo
ple who own the land pay for the water
systerr. Every man, woman and child
in Portland has an equal right to the
water.
Make Belated Discovery.
"The members of the water board tell
us that they are working under a bad
charter, but not until this free water
movement started did one of their num
ber, Dr. C. H. Raffety, who has been on
that committee for 15 years, tell us that
they were working under a bad charter.
"Now, the occupants of a house must
pay so much water tax for general use,
for the bath tub, for sprinkling, and so
on; the occupants must repair all leaks
and breaks in the water pipes, or if
this is not done the supply is shut off.
The people who will stand for rules such
as these deserve to be robbed. Now, this
board, let us call it the wicked, water
board,, employs what is called inspectors.
These employees are not inspectors, they
are 'sneakers' who slip around to see
that some poor family does not .rent a
few rooms to someone without pouring
more gold dnto the water fund.
"The present system is - simply tax
ing poor people and giving the benefits
to the big landowners. Every renter
has to pay for the laying of water
mains around the large farms owned
within the city limits. And Dr. Raffety
told me that the present rate should
have been 50 cents per house larger
than it is, and this advance would have
been made by the Board beginning
January 1. 1907, had it not 'been for
the movement for free water. Since
its organization, the Water Board has
been dominated by two banks located
on First street.
'The Free Water Association pro
poses that a direct tax of $2.50 shall be
levied against each $1000 worth of real
property. This will pay all the run
ning expenses of the department, pay
the interest on the water bonds and
will put three times as much into the
sinking fund as does the present sys
tem. And the landowner will pay for
the water. An ordinance is being pre
pared, as well as amendments to the
City Charter, and these are to be sub
mitted to the vote of the people."
Stop Greed for Land.
Attorney W. R. McGarry also spoke
in favor of the proposition to make the
property-owners pay for the water
system. This plan may put a stop to
the gluttony of land," said Mr. Mc
Garry, "and if a man thinks he must
own all the land around him, let him
pay for it. A property-owner should
pay if he wants to hoid farms that lie
within the city limits in dimpled inno
cence, basking in the sun and increas
ing In value each year.
Dr. C. H. Raffety was to have ap
peared at the Forum to present the
Water Board's side, but he was not
Jjjresent, Mrs. Nellie Trumbull read Dr.
Raffety'8 plan of compromise, and H.
Denlinger spoke against some of the
proposed plans of the free water soci
ety. He was the only one present at
the meeting who took that attitude.
The proposition to change the meet
ing night of the Forum was discussed,
and a committee, consisting of Mrs.
Nellie Trumbull, Mrs. H. D. Wagnon
and Thomas Crow, was appointed to
confer with pastors and church work
ers regarding holding the meetings of
the Forum on some weekday night.
Next Sunday evening D. Soils Cohen
will speak on "Economic Justice."
OPERA-HOUSE DECORATED
The Dalles Elks Hear Eloquent Ad
dresses at Lodge of Sorrow.
THE DALLES, Or., Dec 2. (Special.)
With affectionate eulogy and tender
remembrances, the members of Cas
cade Lodge, B. -P. O. E.. held its an
nual lodge of sorrow here today in
commemoration of departed brothers.
In the elaborately trimmed Opera
House, glittering with purple and white
electric lights, and made beautiful
with evergreens and flowers grouped
about light-tipped elk-heads, the
Elks and their friends gathered
to pay their tribute. After the
exercises of the lodge. Rev. A.
A, Luce was called upon for the
opening prayer. Several musical se
lections followed the eulogy delivered
by F. W. Wilson, of this city.
The eulogy was an eloquent tribute
to the deceased members of the lodge.
With the affection of brotherhood, Mr.
Wilson referred to the three members
who have died during the past year,
each of whom had been a leading spirit
in the lodge Charles Frank, H. A.
Leavens and R. H. Lonsdale.
Seldom have the peopie of The Dalles
listened to a -more scholarly, polished
address than that of Hon. Stephen A.
Lowell, of Pendjeton, who was the ora
tor of the exercises. Judge Lowelt
dwelt particularly upon the transitory
glories of the ancient cities which are
no more, their wonders of architec
ture, a barbaric splendor which has
passed as the years have run, and drew
a beautiful comparison of the immor
tality of benevolence and charity, the
outcome of civilization, of the inde
structible establishment of the Church
of God. He cited Arnold, the English
scholar of Rugby, Cecil Rhodes, In his
struggle to carry enlightenment into
Africa, and Mirabeau as great exam
ples of the men who had been able
to carry the work of civilization to
wonderful ends.
The soloists of the occasion were
Mrs. Carlton Williams, Miss Myrtle
Michell and G. F. Buck. The benedic
tion was pronounced by Rev. D. y
Poling.
In Memory of Absent Brothers.
ALBANY, Or., Dec. 2. (Special.)
The annual memorial services of the
Albany lodge of B. P. O. Elks, in mem
ory of "absent" brethren, were held at
the Opera House in this city this af
ternoon. Special trains brought mem
bers of the order from towns along the
line of the Corvallls & Eastern Rail
road, on both its Eastern and Western
divisions, and the occasion was one
of the notable ones of its kind in the
city. '
The orator of the day was Hon. J. M.
Long, of Portland, who delivered an
eloquent eulogy. An elaborate pro
gramme was carried out, the musical
numbers being especially good. Rev.
J. "W. McDougall, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church of Albany, delivered
the general eulogy, preceding, the ad
dress of Mr. Long.
Aberdeen Theater Is Filled.
