SAN FORD KAN GAS LEADER fiupport of Business Men for Or ganization of 60 Pieces Is to Be Sought. - The Oregon Marine band, incorpo rated, is the name of the new musical organization with which Brie V. Hau ler and his business associates are actively interested, and it had a large ly attended rehearsal in the Arcadian Garden, Multnomah hotel, yesterday morning', under its newly-appointed leader, Sanford Kansas. It is proposed to enlarge the band to 60 musicians, and to make it the leading band in the Pacific northwest, riot onlv to Dlay at concerts in this city but other portions of Oregon. The name "Oregon Marine band" is probably taken from the famous Washington, D. C, band, once direct ed by Sousa. called the U. S. Marine bend, and also because of the fact That many men in the new band be Img or did recently belong to the Shipbuilding trade. Leader Native of Klnland. ' The band leader, Sanford Kansas, is a native of Finland and for 12 years he was a band leader at Aber deen. Wash., where he came under Mr. Hauser's notice. Mr. Kangas was leader of the Grant Smith-Porter company's band, in their shipbuilding yard in Aberdeen, Wash. Mr. Kangas is a natural band leader and possesses marked talent in that direction. He Is a cornet player. Mr; Hauser was absent from this oity yesterday on business and left this letter to be read by the musi cians: ty purpose In inviting you hre today Is to form the basis of a his?h-e!ass mili tary band organization in Portland that will eventually comprise a membership of from 40 to J0 musicians, and produce a eriea of military band concerts of popular character. Many of our local people fail to realize that Portland is favored -with u larger percentage of able and sifted musicians than any similar city in the IJnited States, and hence they are blind to the possibilities of making our city a Tnusical center second to none in the coun try. Business Men's Snpport Bought. After we have had one or two re hearsals and mapped out -a concert pro gramme. 1 will undertake to interest some of tha business men of "Portland in the matter of supporting a military band or ganization of tills character, which I feel ill be a source of pleasure and (gratifica tion to tho members of tile band as well as to the citizens who interest themselves in the projeot.

Keen Interest Shown in Coining of Artistic Interpreter of Liszt and Chopin. The soloist chosen for the concert of the Portland Symphony orchestra, November 12, in the Heilig theater, is Rudolph Ganz, who is acclaimed as one of the greatest of big concert pianists of international fame. In deed, there are some Ganz enthusiasts who insist that Ganz is the most rtistic living internreter of the works of Liszt and Cbopin. Ganz was born in Switzerland, and served his term of army service in that country where he was a ser geant. November 12, Mr. Ganz will play with the orchestra a Greig con certo.

Keen interest is being shown in the season of the musical organiza tion, and favorable comment has fol lowed the announcement that Ru dolph Ganz, Sophie Breslau, and Albert Spaulding, noted concert stars, are to appear at the first three con certs. CIVILIAN RESERVE GROWS NEARLY 1800 MEN ALREADY' ON ROLL IN PORTLAND. Enrollment of 15,000 to 20,000 in City Is Expected Crusade Now Well Under Way. With recruiting work just getting under way, approximately 1800 men already have signed up in the Civilian Reserve now being organized by the American Legion in Portland, it was announced at Liberty temple head quarters Saturday. As this is but the commencement of the campaign, those in charge are pleased with the results and predict that 15,000 to 20.000 will be enrolled without difficulty. In one business house, that of Olds, Wortman & King, it was announced that 150 recruits had been secured. Plans for carrying the campaign to other business houses of the city have been outlined and the work will be taken up in earnest this week. A. F. Roth, legion representative, is in charge of. this work and he reported the big firms of the city co-operating freely. Recruits secured at Liberty temple headquarters have doubled within the past two days. This, with the large number secured in the outside cam paign, shows that the crusade is well under way. LUMBER ORDERS ADVANCE MILLS SHOW NEW BUSINESS OF 63,009,000 FEET. Car Shortage Prevents Mills From Taking on Heavier Trade Building Operations Gain. A distinct advance in the volume of orders is reported by lumber manu facturers in western Oregon and western Washington in the last week, according to the report of the West Coast Lumbermen's association. . To tal new business at 123 mills con tributing to the report of the asso elation last week was-63,609,000 feet, a gain of more than 3,500,000 feet over the previous week. The mills are getting a steady run of inquiries, tne report states, indi eating that buying for the spring trade will start much earlier this year than usual. The prevailing car shortage is preventing the manufac turers from taking on a heavier run of orders. It is expected that it will be 30 days at least before the mills will be getting their normal run of cars, and meanwhile some plants may nA inrrea to close, it is rpnreii nu ' they are stocked to the limit. 1 Xlie Iaduslry ia western Oregon and WILL APPEAR AT FIRST NOVEMBER 12. western Washington as a whole still is 30 per cent short of stock3 and with a brisk buying movement open ing up it is hardly expected that stocks will get back to normal this winter. While the mills last week cut 87. 491.000 feet, shipments aggregated 67,809.248 feet an excess of cut over shipments of 19,681.752 feet, the re port goes on to say. At this rate it will take the mills a. long time to make up tho existing stock shortage, but with a normal car supply the sur plus production soon will be over come entirely. Rail shipments last week were 1643 cars, leaving an aggregate of 7168 cars of unfilled orders on the books of the mills. Building operations in Seattle and other cities in the north west where strikes had been in prog ress are getting back to normal, the report states, and local orders are in creasing accordingly. The total for the week was 5.611.100 feet. Kxpnrt orders were 5.510,822 feet and domestic cargo orders 7.177,226 feet a total of 12,688,048 feet of water-borne business.

AN Italian John Mccormick is Cic colini, pronounced Chick-o-leeny, and mentioned in this review with a fond prayer that it may reach the eye and understanding of an acutoly-mtif-ical woman who sat near mc at the Orpheum yesterday and merrily hummed alon.? with Clccolir.i, whom she called Monsoor Sickolony. Three of his solos she knew real well, be cause they were tunes, (iPai o' Mine," "Mother Machree" and "Until." but she wasn't even on spelling and pro nouncing acquaintance with his aria from "La Tosca'" and his "Klegie" from Massenet, and so we heard them through as only Ciccolinl can do them, tenderly, sympathetically and exquisite vocally. His is a picturesque personality, warm colored and magnetic and his tenor voice is flexible, sweet and car ries the quality of feeling In a marked degree. Certainly it is a well-trained voice, of operatic caliber. Coccolini further enhances the pictures his voice conjures by his own charm of manner. After a lengthy programme and when he had responded with a dozen bows to as many wistful calls for more, he came out like a young erect lad, smiling: as if he liked to sing for us'and gave a beautiful, tender treat ment of that always popular Mother Machree. Besides the grand opera recruit there are two other headfiners on the Or pheum bill. One of the others is Harry (Jreen. who invented and brought to our attention Mister George Wash ington Cohen. This season G. W. Cohen is a knocker at heaven's gate, not knocking in the generally ac cepted sense, but for admission as a non-paying guest, St. Peter, looking lUte the pictures we used to get on our Sunday school cards, is an ob durate office boy at the portals and Mr. Cohen's overtures and blandish ments are delightfully original and humorous. Cohen is put through an amazing examination in which his sins of omission and sins of commis sion are luridly featured with a huge clock flashing out signals of white or red as he tells the truth or does not tell the truth. It is all highly I diverting and naturally the greater part of its fun is due to the clever artistry of Harry Green, whose He- aic dialect and tendencies were pre sented to him on his birthda3'. His comedy gift is positive and constantly happy. Lillian Shaw is the third headllner. She is a vocal dialectician, original in her methods and carrying out her in terpretations with a fine show of naturalness. Her "to be or not to be" bride is a riot in fun. So is her aftermath number, when she is a be draggled mother, wheeling her child in the park and wailing a matrimo nial plaint. Flo and Ollie Walters are a clever pair a contrast in types, too. One is a dainty, soft-spoken, charming lass, who dances prettily and grace fully." The other is a nparkling hoy den, with a wide-mouthed smile and a dance devil lives in her feet. Their buzzy-buzz bee song is their best. They became great fax-orites yester day with nonsense and carryings-on. Ben and Hazel Mann strike up a flirtation on the stage. Hazel is un used to city ways and Ben appoints himself to teach her. In the process they sing and step and have a great deal of just plain foolishness which provides laughter. The two Eugene brothers are serio comic gymnasts, who whirl and leap along new aerial paths. The Pickfords not Mary nor Lottie nor Jack, but maybe some kin to 'em are a pair of good comedy jugglers with comedy acrobatic additions, who open the bill. P. S. There is no show on Wednes day night. Hippodrome. FIRST you hear an airy, fairy voice singing in the distance and, as it approaches the wings, and the spot light Is turned on the stage you antic ipate a dainty little singer. Then the voice is upon you and you discover that it belongs to a burly "rube." This is just one of the stunts that makes the Halley and Howard act at the Hippodrome the first half of the week, so popular. The pair of singers have a clever encore, one of the youths coming down into the audi ence to finish up his farewell with the proper effect. Esmeralda and her xylophone fur nish some good music. The audience is rather inclined to regret that the artist mixes singing in with her act, as the two vocalists who make up ter company split the act and Es mcralda plays but two selections on nor instrument. "Th6 New Boarder" is the title of a rural comedy playlet in which Richelieu Childs, Hal Barber and Isa belle Miller appear. Miss Miller is an excellent comedian and while she re models the boerding house keeper si-.t draws any number of good iaughs ror ter repartee Singing acts predominate on the bill Beity Babb, who Is the posses.j-r of a oeep contralto voice, entertains with topical tunes, one of them tracing the history of prohibition from the time' of Cleopatra. Miss Babb sings in Jazz while the orchestra is grinding out grand opera. Alice Nelson, who styles herself "the advertiser," furnishes song selections. She has a modest partner, apparently plucked from the audience, who creates a sensation with an alarm clock. The Jupiter trio in a bar and ring act and a feature photoplay, Louis Bennison in "The Road Called Straight" wind up the bilL Y. M. C. A. AFTER MEMBERS Campaign In Portland to Be Com menced Wednesday Night. A campaign to increase the mem bership of the Portland Y. M. C. A. to 5000 will be inaugurated at a com plimentary dinner to "boosters" to be given at 6:15 o'clock Wednesday night in the auditorium of the "Y," when the plans of the special committee in charge will be unfolded. The as sociation here Is now one of the larg est in the country, but H. W. Stone, general secretary, his staff of assist ants and the active members are de termined to make it even larger. Leslie Cranbourne, secretary in charge of the membership work, an nounces that complimentary tickets to the dinner may be had by "boost ers" who desire to be present and get into the game early, if they will but make themselves known to him at once. The campaign, he declared, will last six weeks and its slogan will be "Watch the Portland Y. M. C. A. mem bership go to 5000." The service de partment is to have special direction of the work to be undertaken. Newspaper Writer Speaks. Alfred JJ. Griage, a newspaper writer of the city, was the speaker last night at the regular Sunday evening gathering at Everyman's club, maintained at 243 Couch street, under auspices of the National Cath olic War council.

IF YOU have a liking for English comedy you will like "Hobson's Choice," which is an English treat ment of the idea expressed in the Scotch play "Bunty Pulls the Strings." Bunty, in this instance, is not the Scotch lass who so cleverly pulled her strings that she brought chaos out of confusion, a husband for her eelf and peace to the household, but Maggie, an English spinster, is quite as resourceful and pulls some strings herself, arriving at matrimonial con tentment, with peace and prosperity in her wake. "Hobson's Choice" has long come to mean that all choice has been made and Hobson can take what is left. Hobson has no choice. He has only the alternative of doing as he is bid. Hobson in the instance of the Baker play does Just that. He is an old Lancashire boot shop keeper, with three daughters and a thirst. His favorite indoor amusement is arguing with his progeny and- rush ing out In a tantrum to look upon the ale when it foameth, at a nearby tavern. His oldest daughter is a spinster, and she has managed the shop ably for years. Hobson in a temper at the vanities and idleness of his two younger daughters, threat ens to find husbands for them. Mag gie wants to be in on the husband apportioning. Her father disposes of her case by telling her he needs her in the shop and that no man wants her for a wife. i Maggie casts about in self-justif i-' cation and proposes to Willie Mossop, head shoemaker in her father's estab lishment, a lout whose only claim to attention is that he can make excel lent boots. Against his will. Maggie drags him to the altar and then sets him up as master of his own boot shop in a cellar. At nights Maggie teaches her husbnd and soon she out wits her faWier and makes it possible for her sisters to marry. Finally when her father is ill and needs her, Mag gie and her husband return home and Willie Mossop. now a man of affairs, takes old man Hobson in as his partner. Not a heavyweight play by any means, and all of it in Cockney Eng lish. But it is amusing and the por trayal of the various types is good. Verna Felton in a typically small town English girl outward semblance, goes even deeper and makes the very bouI of the matter-of-fact business like Maggie slay in Jthe role. Miss Felton's costuming of Maggie is a joy. I adored her earrings and bangs and her flat, toneless voice, and the way she folded her arms and looked into space when everybody talked at her. Her wedding dress was a riot, and, mind you, it wasn't a caricature. It was exactly the white embroidery monstrosity that Maggie would have worn. David Herblin's Willie Mossop was Maggie's companion piece in comedy. His air of complete detachment at times and his shrinking attitude when suddenly spoken to. his acute stu pidity about everything but shoes and his very real 'alarm tempered with fear of giving Maggie offense when Maggie insisted on marrying him, were so splendidly simulated as to set everybody laughing at his every word or bit of business. Willie's costum ing, too, was a thing of beauty, al ways with a hat too small and a coat too large, quite as Willie Mossop him self would have purchased. Those two unusually lovely young actresses. Geraldlne Dare and Mayo Met hot, were Maggie's spoiled, chat tering sisteru. George R. Taylor gave a quaint, whimsical flavor to old Hobson's role, keeping always in the part even to fine moments of pan tomime. A good comedy bit was Irving Ken nedy's old shoe cobbler, and a half dozen other odds and ends of types were contributed nicely. The cast follows: Alice Hobson Goraldine Dare Mavste Hobson Verna Kelton Vickey Hobson Mayo Methot Albert F'rosser William l. Henry Homtlo Hobson ... .Georpe K.

A WAR that languishing that- in stopped by the g glances of the senor- itas rather than by bullets holds the boards at the Lyric this week. In "Sherman Was Right" the Lyric cast not only proves the famous saying of the famous general, but goes fur ther and proves the superior bene fits of peace. Manuel Garcia (Will Rader) has just about established himself as die tator of an island republic when two American gun-runners (Ben T. Dillon and Al Franks) disturb his calm by smuggling arms into the country The Americans are due for an execu tion when the commander or an American warship (Carlton Chase) and an American drummer (Clarence Wurdig) save the day. The attrac lions of the American consul's daugh ter (Bille Bingham) and Juanita Gar cia (Olive Finney) play a big part in the excitement. Virginia Kennedy, revealed in rose-wreathed phonograph, sings surprising song in duet with Carlton Chase in his number "My Gramo phone Girl." T Love You Just the Same, Sweet Adeline," is sung by Olive Finney in her usual fine voice, and Billie Bingham sings "Every body's Happy Now," a timely cheer ful ditty. Will Rader has an ex cellent song. "Lily of Laguna," and Clarence Wurdig sings "I've Got My Captain Working for Me Now." New costumes enhance the charms of the chorus in "Sherman Was Right." In the opening song, "By the Rio Grande," their splendid chora work makes a decided hit. Two mem bers of the chorus, Joan Maidment and Lillie Lytell, have comedy bits which they handle wen. Some of the best comedy of the season is to be found in the scene which greets the entrance of the prisoners. The contrasting charac ters of the belligerent Irishman and the pacific Jew are alike strange to the nature of the revolutionist gen eral.

TWO LAND ATTHE DALLES Aviators on Way From Canada to Mexico Eorced Down. THE DALLES. Or., Nov. 2. (Spe cial.) On their way from Canada to Mexico, two aviators in a Curtiss machine late today landed without in jury on the local flying field. The aviators. R. r. Clampett and F. D. Hoyt of San Francisco, came from W enatchee. Wash., today. They landed with a dry gasoline tank. To morrow morning the young men, both former army fliers, will begin an other leg of the Journey of the "slide slip" along the Pacific coast, when they will endeavor to reach Salem. The aviators pointed out the need of a permanent aviation ground for this city, declaring that this is a logical location for a landing and starting field for future air routes. They said in the next few years air maps would be gotten out on which would be represented the locations of up-to-date fields and that those places getting in the harness early would gain the first recognition.
