S-cndt Mat Get Elbctric Lights. Sandy may get electric lights from the Bull Run station. A. C. McAIicken and Harry Wakefield, representing the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany, visited Sandy last week and in vestigated conditions and declared they were favorably impressed with the prospects. The Council has agreed to take 12 street lights for a year, and many citizens have signified their will ingness to take electric light.' It is estimated that it will cost $3000 to extend a cable from Bull Run to Sandy, three miles in a direct line. Electric power could be supplied also if wanted in Sandy. The Botkins Company has been started to erect a power plant on Cedar Creek near Cherryville for the purpose of developing elctricity and furnishing Sandy with power and light from that source.

An old saying and a wise one is, "Men are known by the company they keep." This proverb applies to grocers. Dealers who carry and recommend an article of quality on which they are sacrificing profits expressly for the purpose of satisfying their customers are the ones who distinguish their establishments and become recognized purveyors of quality goods. The grocer who sells Royal "Table Queen" bread is sacrific ing profit on bread, but regaining it many times over through increased business in other staples because of distinguishing himself as a dependable merchant, Adv.

New Bills Open at the Vaudeville Houses Iyyrlc. ED S. ALLEN, the Hebrew comedian, is again at the Lyric. He is feat ured as Izzy Cohn, later called Baron Cohn, in a one-act musical satire, "In Gay Paree," Izzy is made to believe that he can get the rich and beautiful young widow, Mrs. Vanderslip. if he will pass himself off as a baron, ana give the "syndicate" $1,000,000. which helps him to get the widow. Izzy agrees to this, not knowing wnat tne agreement is or what the "syndicate" s trying to do. After ne loses all nis money, except 27 cents, the widow dis covers what has been going on but forgives the intriguers. The Rosebud chorus does some espe cially good singing and dancing this week. Miss Rena Mack, who plays the part of Mrs. Vanderslip, has a clear lyric-soprano voice and interprets her part well. A feature of the show is the toe dancer. Miss Rae Fox. Her dancing is light and artistic and brings forth a round of applause. Georee F. Henny as "George Swift, one of the "syndicate," has a good voice and is a clever actor. Robert McKim as Cutter Short, another mem ber of the "syndicate," is an ideal po litical boss, thfe part which he inter prets. T. J. Bundy as Mike Brady, the stingy, but fond parent, is the other one of the schemers, whose plan for money comes to grief. An added attraction is the wrestling of L. E. Ireland ("Irish Kid") and Frait Bogan. They give an exhibition of the different varieties of wrestling. Pantagcs. LOR A. a lovely .young slip of a girl, disguises herself as a huge parrot and, between trillings and chuckling "Polly wants a cracker," she reads any card or tells the name of objects that her father and mother colleot in the audience.

Lora never falters In her re plies, and the audience sits in stupe fied amazement at the rapidity of her answers. Then, as a climax, she reads off numbers with lightning-like swift ness, numbers reaching into the mil Ions. Her act is a wonderful example of mental training and mathematical exactitude. Her memory of numbers is little short of phenomenal, and Lora, who writes it on the bill as "Lora ? ? ?" unqualifiedly captures the "goats" of her spectators. Bothwell Brown has written a merrv musical mixture called "Inn Laugh land," featuring Harold Browne as a German comedian. Willa Turner is the dancing prima donna and her imitation of Gertrude Hoffman's "Spring Song" dance is almost as good as that dancer herself gives it. An octet of remarkablv attractive maids revolve to music through the mazes of the story. In a Spanish ballet they are particularly effective and dance with "pep" In their toes. Robert Ryles, as a bellbov with a happy smile, adds hilarity and sings two soio nuitiDers. A note of comedy tragedy is added by the role of "Mc Duff Macbeth Shakespeare," played ca pably by Ed Roberts. Juamta Francesca. the orettiest e-lrl in the lot. completes a cast of all- comedy principals. They have a tango rag mat is new to vaudeville. Llliott and Mullen, two shades of burnt cork, the man black and the srirl a chocolate brown, offer songs and dance, with rare, rich comedy lines to string it an along. This act pleases immensely. Leon Rogee Is a human orchestra, who imitates in faithful manner every sort of instrument. Frank bmith, an exceptionally nervy novelty equilibrist, opens the bill In a clever series of twistings. Empress. AS a celebration of the first anni versary of the Empress in its present magnificent home, the manage ment is offering this week an excep tionally fine, lively show. Every num ber is way above the average, in fact. deserving of the highest praise. Joe Maxwell's Dancing Girls, seven attractive, graceful and pretty maids with Ada Proctor leading, are seen in four specialties, all appropriately and elaborately staged and costumed. The act begins "In Toyland" with the girls in unique dress and clogs, and the last scene finds them merrily sing ing in a real old-fashioned Oregon or California rain storm, The electrical effects in this feature are superb and every detail is delightful. Warren and Blanchard captivate the audience with their songs and jokes. They "kid" each other and spring some comical surprises. Warren is a burnt-cork artist and Blanchard ap pears "all dressed up." Both are singers with excellent voices and a line of good clean comedy that is re freshing. - With the stage arranged as a kitchen "The New Cher' appears and with him are several others who are eccentric acrobats, and jokesters who go through the funniest pantomine acts imaginable. They are rapid-fire tumblers, skillful and entertaining. Fun on the Farm surely is fun. The three men in the act are lively and all have some original feats that are alone worth going to see. The number is staged to represent the old farm with barns and haystacks in evidence. This act calls forth one continuous laugh. A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice and several handsome Parisian costumes is Gladys Wilbur, who sings songs of the Sunny South and gets her share of the applause that greets every one on the splendid bill. Gertrude Clark and Spencer Ward are singers whose voices harmonize perfectly. Movies and music of the best round out the Empress anniversary bill. BANQUET ATTRACTS MANY Big Attendance Assured at Testi monial to Retiring Railroad Man. Reservations for tickets for the testi monial banquet to L. R. Fields, retiring superintendent of the Southern Pacific, are being received in such numbers that the big Commercial Club dining room may not be adequate to hold the crowd next Saturday night. C. W.

"The great beauty of Mr. Kreisler's playing is something better than the emotional inflammation that drives crowds to madness. He illustrates how art begins where technique leaves off. There is always in his playing some thing warmly sympathetic that pro ceeds from the heart. As to his caliber as a musician, it is well understood by the intiate that he stands alone among the living violinists." This was said by the distinguished critic of the Boston Advertiser, Mr. Sidney C. Williams, upon occasion of a recital by Kreisler at Symphony Hall. This distinguished violinist will play at the Heilig Thursday, March 12. Seat sale Tuesday. Prices 75c, $1. $1.50, $2, $2.50 Adv. Woman Is Fined $100.

Can you judge piano values by outside appearance, determine the permanence and quality of tone by one hearing? Do you know piano construction in plate and scale design? Can you pass upon the quality of action, varnish work veneers, and can you trust your own judgment as to durability and dependa bility? The One Sane and Safe Way to buy a good piano is to patronize a house of highest com mercial standing, state your needs, and benefit by the judg ment, the experience and the integrity of that house. You will pay no more, and your after-satisfaction will prove the wisdom of your choice. Selling GOOD PIANOS and giving the best values pos sible for the price has been our particular care for nearly 40 years. That you can buy more piano value for each dollar expended here is our firm belief, and we know that your after-satisfaction, because of quality, service and ap preciation, will be greater than you could expect. Some splendid values in used pianos, at very low prices and on very easy payments, are being shown this week.
