ASSEMBLY JOINS IN SONG Grand Array Quartet Brings Diners to Feet With "Marching Through Georgia" Son of Confederate Officer Is Speaker. In a spirit of reverence as deep as that when people gather to do honor to a loved personal friend, men and women of Portland gathered last night at the Portland Commercial Club and paid tribute to the name of Abraham Lincoln. This banquet and meeting of the Lincoln Club brought to a close a day given over to the most complete pro gramme In commemoration of the an niversary of Lincoln, that has ever been held in Portland. One of the striking features was the Veterans' Quartet, of the Grand Army. Gray haired men. still bearing them selves with the pride that military training always gives, they sang songs of the times of Lincoln and the War of the Rebellion. In the swinging chorus of "Marching Through Georgia," they brought the assembly to its feet ar.d hands were waved aloft and a hundr-3d voices Joined them In the song. Miss Baker Sings. When Mrs. Nina Larowe read Lin coln's favorite poem, "Why Should the Spirit of Mortal Be Proud" the Grand Army of the Republic quartet followed her by singing it. At the opening of the programme, Toastmaster C. A. Johns introduced Miss Mabel Baker, the only daughter of Councilman Baker, who sang with spirit and expression In her beautiful soprano, "The Star-Spangled Banner." Toasts of the evening dealt with the character of Abraham Lincoln, the great part he played In the struggle to main tain the Union, and the early Influ ence by which his character was formed until it was ripe for the des tiny which he was called upon to ful fil. "There Is something heroic in the era of the pioneers," said J. D. Lee, in responding to the toast. "Lincoln, the Pioneer. "Akin was their heroism and sympathy to Lincoln's of the best and highest type. "Great in thought, superlative in pur pose, transcendent In achievement In a few brief years from a lowly pioneer. Lincoln won a place among the Im mortals. But his victories stopped not with the close of his earthly career, for his life is still an inspiration to noble endeavor to all the world." Mrs. Hidden Is Speaker. Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden, In her address on the "Character of Lincoln," referred to the talks that had been given in the public schools in the forenoon of the day. declaring that the life f IJncoln formed one of the highest and best in spirations that children might receive. "Lincoln and the Volunteers" was the subject of L. B. Mahone. "The Blue and the Gray" was responded to by H. H. Northup, and Samuel White spoke on "Lincoln and the South. "I. as the son of a Confederate of fleer," said Samuel White, "Joyfully de clare that the South Is proud to be able to loin vou in reverence of Ameri ca's greatest man and the South's truest friend." C. W. Fulton spoke upon "Lincoln and the Constitution," nrid Rev. Beniamin Young upon "Lin coln and the People." Statesmanship Is Extolled. Mr. Fulton said that Lincoln's im pulse and his act was found ever on the side of the right, as it was given lilm to see the right, and that he wrought mightily for human liberty. Dr. Young referred to Lincoln s iowij origin. "He was the great commoner, because he loved the plain people." said Dr. Young. Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway was un able to attend, but her response to the toast, "Lincoln and His Mother," was rtad by C. B. Moores. Hamilton Johnstone, as the repre tentative of the Illinois Club, respond ed to the toast, "Lincoln and Illinois. He asked the question. "Has not Ore con, in our time, caught his spirit bet tcr than his own state of Ilinots?" Dr. J. M. Louden responded to the toast. "Lincoln In Purpose and Achieve meat" "In the election of Lincoln a new chapter began In our National life," he said, "as in the birth of Abram ,f old a new chapter was opened in the life of the race. Poem Is Read. .Tune McMillan Ordway read her poem on "Lincoln." which was a touching tribute to his worth as a man and statesman. "The Moral Influence of IJncoln" was the toast to which Mrs. Kmma B. Carroll responded. Mrs Carroll referred to the possession of the ballot by the women of Oregon and made an earnest plea for its intelli gent, conscientious use. K. K. Kubli referred to the scene on the battlefield of Gettysburg, when Lincoln delivered his famous address, and to the principles therein enun ciated as being the very soul of mod ern democracy. Lewis H. Pawley, a colored man. In responding to the toast, "Lincoln and the Negro," appealed for the eradica tion of public prejudice against his race. He paid an eloquent tribute of gratitude, on behalf of 1S.000.000 of his race in America, to the great emanci pator. Flan Are Deeorattons.

When the steamer Rose City headed through the Broadway bridge draw Monday afternoon her foretruck was 121hi feet above the water. The vessel drew 15.6 feet forward and 18.6 feet aft and Captain Rankin calculated the height according to her trim. The masts of the Rose City, like those of the Kansas City, which ran from Portland with the same fleet at different times, are unusually high as gauged by those of present-day vessels and they serve to show how great will be the clearance for ordinary vessels with tho Broadway draw closed.

Following nearly a month of investi gating, the committee on roafls and bridges of the- Senate of 'the Washing ton Legislature today completed two bills, whicn, if enacted by the House and the Senate and acquiesced in by Governor Lister, will mean the trebling of the road taxes of the state and the beginning at once of the construction of a series of long, costly, arterial high ways. The measures will be sent to the Senate tomorrow, with recommenda tions of four out of six of the commit WASHING ON'S All t VAUDEVILLE NO LONGER LURES DAINTY ALICE LLOYD hiii ayi m -- ! ALICE LLOYD, Alice Lloyd, who is singing the title role in " The Rose Maid," at the Heillg. says she so much prefers musical comedy and light opera to vaudeville that she has no Intention of returning to the field of her earlier endeavors. With Miss Lloyd In "The Rose Maid" are her niece, Alice Lloyd the second, a daughter of Marie Lloyd, and Marie Mc Naughton, a sister of Tom McNaughton. Alice Lloyd says that when she was asked to Join the Rose Maid" she acquiesced on only one condition. It was that she should be sent with the Paclfio Coast organization. "If my managers had sent me with the Middle West company rd Just as soon have gone back Into vaudeville," she said. Naxt season Miss Lloyd Is to have a new operetta. "The Rose Maid," by the way, was originally written for her, but she was sent out for another season in "Little Miss Fix-It," and so only appeared In the role once. tee, members that they pass. Behind them will be the entire delegation of Southwestern Washington, a part of the Eastern Washing-ton delegation and part of the Senators and Representa tives from Pierce and King Counties. The Increased tax levy bill calling for a mill and a half for the state high way fund, Instead of half a mill, as at present, was passed by the House with only a few dissenting votes. It Is be lieved that it will pass the Senate with out a great deal of trouble. Move to Cnt Expected. A move Is to be made, however, to cut it from a mill and a half to a mill. The mill would raise $1,000,000 and the mill jind a half $1,500,000. Reports are being circulated that Governor Lister Intends to veto the Increased levy meas ure. He has refused to make public his stand on the measure, however. By the committee's report provision is made for a series of seven main highways, the principal one of which, will be the Pacific Highway from Blaine to Vancouver, Wash. The second will be the sunset highway, leading from Seattle over Snoqualmie Pass, through Wenatchee County and on to Spokane. The third will be known as Pioneer Highway and is planned to give Seattle and Tacoma direct routes to Rainier National Park. It will strike Pacific Highway at Auburn. The route from Seattle to the park will extend up White River and enter the park from the north. The road as partially de veloped now is known as the Carbon River road. Bear Gap Pass Road Is One. Along with this is an extension road through Bear Gap Pass, Just south of the National Park, connecting with an extension of the state road No. 1, which loses its Identity and becomes Pioneer Highway. Another branch connects with Nlsqually Canyon road at Ashford, where the National Park Highway comes into existence. This highway runs from Tacoma to Ashford and then to Cosmos to the Big Bottom country and from there on to South Bend and the Pacific Ocean. Another of the arterial roads will be the Empire Highway connecting with the Pacific Highway at Olympia and passing through Shelton and Hoodsport, absorbing state road No. 14, on the west shore of Hood's Canal, then run ning through the northwest counties Clallam, Jefferson and Mason and cir cling the entire Olympia Peninsula, connecting state roads Nos. 14 and 9. The sixth highway is the new Cen tral Washington road from Spokane to Pasco, running up the Yakima Valley. The seventh Is the Inland Empire Highway, which runs from Spokane, through Whitman County, across the Snake River bridge into Idaho, coming back through Asotin County and through the southeastern counties, finally connecting with the Central Washington and the Pioneer roads at Pasco. VIOLIN ARTISTE PLEASES Carrie Louise Alton Heard Here for First Time. Choosing selections notable for their marked beauty and lovely tunefulness, rather than offerings bristling with technical difficulties overcome. Miss Carrie Louise Alton, violinist, a reeeflT arrival In this city from Boston and New York, gave her first violin recital in Portland, by appearing in an excellently-rendered programme last night at the Masonic Temple Auditorium, with Edgar E. Coursen as piano ac companlst. The audience was quite demonstra tive In its enthusiasm and gave every evidence of its approval of Miss Alton, artist. Her violin playing is so artis tic, so apparently easy and quietly nat ural that she must be recognized as one of the most talentel violinists of the Pacific Northwest. The Tartlnl Kreisker, "Le Trille du Diable," and the Lalo, "Symphonic Espagnole," are favorite selections with concert violin ists of International fame and it was interesting to watch how Miss Alton stamped each number with the impress of her impressive interpretation. The Lalo number took nearly half an hour for its rendition, and made a hit. The Bach, Mozart, Gossec and other numbers also pleased. Miss Alton received many recalls. She leaves for Europe this Fall for a further course on the violin. Mr. Coursen presided at the piano with fine ability. Law Deprives Woman of 2 Husbands at One Stroke. "Dead Spouse, Returning After Second Marriage, Divorced Wed ding to No. 2 Illegal for Six Months. MiNTESANO. Wash., Feb. 12. (Spe cial.) A newspaper story and the peculiar marriage and divorce laws of the State of Washington played an im portant part in a modern Enoch Arden drama here, when Mrs. Clara Thornton was granted a divorce from her hus band, Lee Thornton, who returned after she had thought him dead. By her side In the courtroom sat her second hus band, Charles Wilson, and their three 'hildren. Several years ago Clara Sanford was married to Lee Thornton, who later deserted her and left for parts un known. Several months afterwards Mrs. Thornton read in a newspaper a story of the death of one Lee Thorn ton, and thinking this to be her hus band, she later married Charles Wil son. Three children were born to them. Suddenly Thornton, the first husband, returned to his home and found his wife married to another. Mrs. Thorn ton started suit for divorce, and today in court told Superior Judge Ben Sheeks the story, as tears streamed down her face. To prove her conten tion that she believed her husband dead a ragged little newspaper clipping, telling of the death of Lee Thornton in a Skagit County logging camp, was produced as evidence. She was grant ed the divorce. Owing to the fact that the laws make it a misdemeanor to marrv within six months after a di vorce is granted, Mr. Wilson cannot legally marry his wife until after the time passes. Speaking of the law. Judge Ben Sheeks said: "This is the result of an inflexible law, that does not take cer tain conditions into consideration, but Is made to adhere to one set plan." Sberidan Loses Methodist Minister. SHERIDAN, Or.. Feb. 12. (Special.) Rev. s. J. Kester, Methodist minister in this city, has tendered his resigna tion, and preached his farewell sermon. Mr. Kester has accepted the pastorate of the Methodist Church at Springfield. Or. It is understood that Rev. Mr. Anthony from Washington will be Rev. Mr. Hester's successor at this place. NEWPORT LIKENED TO ATLANTIC CITY Climate of West Coast Resort Wins Praise From Addi son Bennett. ATTRACTIONS ARE VARIED Good Fishing, Beautiful Scenerv, Agate Picking and Prosperity of Residents Attract Atten- ' Hon of Visitor. BY ADDISON BENNETT. NEWPORT, Lincoln County, Oregon, Feb. 12. (Special Correspondence.) Passing down Yaquina Bay going from Toledo to Newport one gets a good view of the tide lands surrounding. There are a good many thousand acres of these overflow lands, and when once reclaimed they are probably as productive as any soil possibly can be. Their reclamation is a simple and inexpensive matter as the tide does not cover them, save in abnormal cases, to more than two feet. In going from Toledo to Slletz the road leads up Depoe Slough, which Is an estuary of the bay and the outlet of Dcpoe Creek. On this slough and creek there are some fine farms, the bottom lands of which have been reclaimed by dykes. All around the bay tracts have been reclaimed. When all of these tracts are brought into cultivation it will make a mighty big difference in tho agricul tural output of Lincoln. It might be well before saying any thing about Newport to mention the fruit possibilities of the county. I am not one of those who believe that Ore gon's future Is to be made great and glorious exclusively through her ap ples and pears. These and many other fruits can be grown in Lincoln as per fect and at as small an expense as in any other portion of the state, and are to a small extent. It may be said that for cane fruits and strawberries Lincoln can hold her own and then some. Dairying Is Popular Industry. Lincoln landowners are leaning to the dairy cow and the hog more than to fruit. In other words general agricul ture in the support of dairying and Its attendant branches is, and perhaps always will be, the main ambition of the farm owners, with fruit as a side line. Newport lies on Yaquina Bay just In side the bar. The railroad is three miles away, Yaquina being the termi nus. In many ways the place reminds one of Atlantic City, which is now as much, or almost as much, of a Winter as a Summer resort, and I can aver from observations that the Newport Winter climate is superior in all ways except wetness to the climate at Atlantic City. And let us have this I "wet" bugaboo over with at once.

Five perfect days, five such days one after another as the Jersey resort never has never! And these were not phenomenal periods, the rains and sunshine are Intermittent during the Winter. To go on and compare Newport with Atlantic City it may be mentioned that the cosmopolitan aspect of that place has made It popular, the same as it has Coney Island. You may go to eitheT place and rub elbows with mil lionaire and beggar, with the learned and the illiterate. Hence the prices vary somewhat, just a trifle! You can pay J15 a day for a room at Atlantic City if you like, and then buy your "eats" besides, or you can stop at a comfortable hotel, where you will get the MULTNOMAH u fOTEL OREGON PORTLAND, OR.

Attractive rates for permanents fur nished upon request. Unexcelled cuisine. good treatment and fairly good meals for $6 a week. Again, Atlantic City has grown into a business place of great importance, having now a population of something like 60.000. Newport is relatively larger than that, for it must be remembered that the Jersey resort has something like 20,000,000 people within 10 hours' reach; Newport has about 500,000. Railroad Compared Favorably. Atlantic City has the best transpor tation facilities of any resort in the United States. Newport has but one road, but that road relatively does more for Newport than the six roads do for Atlantic City. The fare over it at all times is relatively lower. Newport and the environs have a Summer population of about 10,000 peo ple, and by environs I mean simply the territory which is reached only through Newport, say up as far as Agate Beach. There is nothing south of the Yaquina until you get down to Beaver Creek, about nine miles. There is the little settlement called Seal Rock, with about 12 or IB Summer cottages and a hotel. Just how many Summer cottages there are around Newport I could not find out the figures varied from 750 to 1500. Then the tents that are put up as the season opens perhaps furnish an abode for 1000 people. And the hotels they are legion, and some pretty big ones. The attractions here are the splendid beach and the fine climate. That is, primarily speaking. In addition to this there is the splendid surrounding country, the boating and fishing, the hunting and exploring, and finally the agates to be found on the beach. Agates have an Intrinsic value of from 3 cents to $300 each. Agate Searchers Numerous. One day during my visit I saw nearly 40 people on Nye beach, which is the Newport bathing beach. In the Summer it Is said Nye and Agate beaches are literally covered with searchers. And no one goes away entirely disappointed. There are beautifully colored stones enough to give each visitor a few samples, and they get them, carry them away, have them mounted and brag that they picked them. That fact makes them worth far more than their In trinsic value. How about the expenses of a Summer outing at Newport? Just about as you choose as to that, similar to Atlantic City, only you can take a tent to New port and set It up In the woods, at a nominal cost. Vegetables and groceries there do not differ much from Portland prices, and there are the fish, clams and crabs to catch, or buy at ridiculous ly low prices. Did you note the mention of crabs? And clams? How strange that I left out oysters, when it is well known that Yaquina Bay Is the great oyster field of the Oregon coast. The taking and shipping of these bivalves is a big Industry all. along the bay. particular ly at Oysterville, just above Yaquina. And crabs! Without levity this Is the real home of the crab. Most of the Oregon markets are supplied from here. ESSAY CONTESTS TO START All Pupils Above Fourth Grade Eli gible to Competition.
