McKay a- ted as toastmaster COMKS TO IXTKHKST SOCIETY IX MADAM MITTEHFLY. - -1 f ii , 1 " " ill, 5$ ? r IT llrnrl GreMltt. Mr. Henri Gressitt was a guest in Portland several days last week and had many interesting facts to relate about the Savage production of Madam Butterfly, with which he is connected. He has the distinction of being what might be termed an advance so ciety representative, keeping sev eral weeks ahead of the company and interesting society In the novel forms of "Butterfly" enter tainments w h i c h are now so much iu vogue in the East. and the first speaker vas Governor Chamberlain. In a brief address he condemned the Government policy In withdrawing vast areas of timber land in Oregon. "Forest reserves for the protection of water and timber are all right." said the Governor, "but should all timber lands that are now proposed be withdrawn it will work a great in jury to the lumber industry in Oregon and seriously affect the commercial in terests of the entire Northwest." Governor Chamberlain was followed by Mayor Lane, who spoke in a humor ous vein and had the large audience In an uproar during bis speech. The theme of Mayor Lane's address was the benefit to be derived by the association of men of different professions. "Chamberlain Is a good Governor, but could he run a sawmill?" asked the Mayor? "However, tho association of hodles of men gives an' opportunity for the exchange of ideas and perhaps the Governor's address will be of benefit to this association. Even the humblest man is superior to the most brilliant in some things, and often imparts knowledge of great value. There is nothing that tho efforts of combined minds cannot accomplish and in the future we may be doing business with Mara and other planets. The best in struction I ever received in my life was from an insane patient and his training fitted ine for the position I now hold.' .Mayor Makes 'Km Laugh. A roar of laughter greeted this re mark and the Mayor was unable to continue for several minutes. He gave as an illustration of what coriibined and concentrated effort will do the rise of the Japanese Empire to one of the strongest powers in the world. Port land he declared to be the greatest lumber-producing citv in the world. Franklin H. Cole wss the next speak er, and he put the crowd in good humor by a number of stories. He said in piirt: "Your Governor said the Mich igan and Minnesota lumbermen who have visited Oregon tiave taken away witli them nothing but pleasant mem ories. There is no reason why they should take anything else, as the city seems will guarded by an efficient police force." Mr. Cole touched on tho car shortage and sta.ted that he con sidered this the greatest handicap to the lumbering Interests of the North west. Mr. Cole is well known on the Coast as publisher of the West Coast Lumberman. IJcckmarTs Strong Speech. Victor P.eckman, or Seattle, was called on next, and lie gave a strong address and some startling statistics concerning the present congestion of traffic, caused by the car shortage. He said: "The condition in Oregon is nothing compared to what it is in Washington. In one place the grass has grown en tirely over a loaded freight car. An other Instance might be given where a car was nine . days in going four miles. . "The average rate of freight cars on the Northern Pacific is only 36 miles In 24 hours, so it Is easy to see the causes of the present congestion. Ore gon Is to be congratulated on her de termination to have a railroad commis sion, and in a few years I feel assured that great benefits to the state will result." A. C Dixon, who has been at the Legislature on behalf of the railroad commission, made a brief address, praising the work of the Oregon Leg islature in enacting railroad legisla tion. The closing address was given by George P. Cornwall. He told of his experience at the Legislature, and ex pressed himself as well pleased at the passage of the railroad commission bill. He said further: "Oregon is a vast, undeveloped empire, and what we need to develop it is box-cars." After the banquet the members ad journed to the club rooms. LIFE HANGING IN BALANCE BRIDGE ACCIDENT VICTIM CRITICAL CONDITION. IN TEN CHINESE IN DRAGNET Kirs-t Kaid for Several Weeks Made Last Night. Ten Chinese were arrested at 10:30 o'clock last night in a raid at 145 Sec ond street, led by Detective Sergeant Baty, and assisted by Patrolman James Anderson. Police Electrician Gif ford and Acting Detective Kienlen. Charges of gambling and of frequenting a gambling-house were placed against them and they were released on bail. This is the first raid made for some time in the Chinese district, although reliable information is to the effect that more than 20 fantan games' and several lotteries are running constantly. Flormer raids have been made by officers other than those regularly assigned to China town, and last night Acting Detectives Hill and Mallett. comprising the China town detail, were not in on this raid. They have been singularly inactive for many weeks, making no important ar rests of Chinese. A Chinese merchant on Second street is authority for the statement that the poliee are being paid $10 a week for each fantan game, but he says he docs not know which officers get the money. Rapid Progress on C'ulebra Cnt. WASHINGTON. Feb. IS. Secretary Taft received the following dispatch today from Chief Engineer Stevens at Culebra: "February, with S5 working days, will probably see 600,000 cubic yards of exca vation in Culebra, and March will show SOO.000 cubic yards excavation."

Brown and John Holdsworth. who were but slightly in jured, are rapidly recovering. A jury impaneled by Acting Coroner Arthur L. Flnlcy brought in the fol lowing verdict yesterday .noon: "That the deceased, Hugh B. Purdin, came to his death at the Good Samari tan Hospital on the 15th day of Febru ary, 1907, about 2 o'clock P. M. from the effects of injuries received about 11 A. M. of the same day by falling from the flume bridge under course of construction across Balch's Gulch, about 200 feet south of Willamette Heights Bridge. From the evidence submitted to the jury, we find that the accident was caused by the slipping of tho sling which was improperly ad justed around a 15-foot bent, while same was being raised to a position, said sling being fastened to a hook and tackle, which allowed the bent to fall across the stringers upon which the workmen were standing, causing same to break, precipitating the men 40 feet to the ground below." Purdin's body was shipped to Hills boro 'last night, where the funeral ser vices will be held tomorrow under the auspices of the Woodmen of the World, of which order he was a member.

Lined along the center of the table from one end to the other were dozens of the trophies of the club such as silver cups won in hard-fouzht con tests on the amateur field.

ViN HORN FILES ANSWER SAYS HE DID NOT ELOPE WITH NEW YORK MAN'S WIFE. Hectares He Married Her After She Had Secured Divorce and That Her Children Now Have Home. In an answer tiled in the local United Stales Circuit Court Friday afternoon. Willis Van Horn denies almost every thing Edward E- Philpolt of Niagarn Falls, N. says about him, partic-Uf larlv regarding Van Horn's elopement with the New Yorker's wife as set forth in a J26.0W damage suit filed here last October. According to Phllpott. Van Horn, who formerly resided at Niagara Falls, not only eloped rvith the complainant's wife Mary B. Philpott, but took the two children. Edward W. Phllpott, aged 1-. and Marion Philpott, aged 10. with him when the couple came to Oregon In the Summer of 1S05. Van Horn, in his answer, admits that he accompanied Mrs. Philpott from Buffalo, New York, on or about the 26th day of July, 1!05. and came with her to the State of Oregon, and that nhe had with her her two children. De fendant further admits that ever since the --th day of February, 1906. he has lived with Mrs. Philpott and her chil dren, and has held himself and her to be husband and wife. That, f-xcept as above expressly ad mitted, the clefenJant denies each and every allegation contained In Phllpott's complaint. The defendant, a separate answer, says that Phllpott. about a year ago. procured a final decree divorcing him from his wife. Van Horn also alleges that Mrs. Philpott never had any love or affection for plaintiff, but. on the contrary, hud alwajB disliked him: that plaintiff did not properlj- support and care for her and the children; that he was cruel, and mistreated her. and in flicted upon her personal Indignities: that hi depraved and selfish disposi tion anu dissolute habits and degraded course of life caused her great humili ation and suffering-, in consequence of which she and plaintiff lived together unhappily: that such unhappiness was not caused by any undue intimacy with defendant. Van Horn; that she came to the Coast of her own free will, and was not enticed by defendant. That in February. 1906. after she had been divorced from Phllpott, she was married to Van Horn, and 'that her two children have a good home and are contented and happy. ! .'.'' - I ''..si' Cres. ,' i ts : IV .'I 1 7,1;- p ll,v THINK PIANOS THINK REED-FRENCH Adagio The Sohraer-Cecilian Becomes a Part o! the Reed -French Piano Co.

The makers of the Ceciiian say it is the only piano player that does not play mechanically, and were you to near a Ceciiian you would say so, too. It sounds just like one of the artists of the Old World had come to live with you. We bought out the piano store on Alder street necansn we wanted to handle tho Ceciiian line of piano players.
