2 THIS LKDFORD JSLUL TRIBUNE, M.EDITQM), OREGON, THURSDAY. JANUARY 27, 1910. FRENZIED FUN OF FINANCE SEEN A Novel and Artistic Dwelling. Design 840. by Glenn L. Snxton. Architect. Jhe Mcdford Is Packed by Apprccla-J tlvc Audience Yacht Scene a j Winner Royal Tracy Good. i Thero wns not n vacant seat at the Mcdford lasi! mrM at 0 Irew-j Iter's! MlillonB show. The audience svns well pleased, for the tun In the play Is the 60-laughs-nn-hour brand. The play deals with the new nrt ' of turning up money and It proves that spending coin U hard work at times. The hero In this case has a .confirmed habit ot winning money on what other people lose a sort of proverbial good luck that to him Is anything but Joy. Under the terms of a will which makes him legatee to n big fortune i he must spend all of his grandfath-l cr's Inheritance before he can come! into possession of a larger fortune. The grandfather w.as despised hy the richer relative and did not want the young man to have a cent of the ac cursed money, so he provided that every cent of it must bo dissipated "Young Brewster is entirely willing to burn up the old wretch's coin when he finds out that "he had abus ed his deceased mother. There is a clause, too, in the will that receipts must be shown for ev ery cent spent and' that the young iiian must be Involved In no entan glng alliances with women at a cer tain date, on that date he gets pos CBSsn of the riches. Young Brewster appoints a corps of his friends as high salaried as sistants, lieeps carriages and autos waiting for hours for passengers merely to run up bills, puts money ito collapsing banks, buys the worst :ocks, tries to get himself fined for peodlng, sends all his letters and otes by telegraph, loads up all his rlend rrith flowers", candles and luxars, backs actresses and writers asd still finds it hard to get rid of the money accumulated. Finally he plans a costly cruise In a. yacht that is guaranteed to burn op more coal than any other craft afloat. He discovers that one ot his ancestors lived In Italy, and gets up a carnival In that town. PERSPECTIVE VIEW-FUOM A I'HOTOQltAPIl. f hgj-""! o o H ThMRti Mart A I I fl OIATTKK V pi r n i i ' lef 8 o FIRST FLOOR PLAN. SECOND FLOOR PLAN. This house, from the exterior, would naturally lmprras one as a cottage, owing to the way In which the broad side of the roof In front Is treated, but upon careful examination it will be seen that the rooms in the second story are all full height In carrying out thU idea of treatment of the roof the architect gets away from -the stereotype style of a hip or the gable roof, and the design not only looks better, but is symmetrical and harmonious in outline. The slie of the house is thirty-two feet six Inches wide and twenty-eight feet deep over the main part. There Is a full basement. The first story Is nine feet and the second eight feet in the cleAr. Birch doors arc used throughout, with Washington flr or red oak finish In the first story and pine to paint in the second. As a practical plan for a home this design can be recommended. A feature Is the living room, which Is twenty -seven feet long. Another feature Is the nrraugement of the stairs. There Is an open stulmise from the recep tlon ball, also back stalra from the kitchen to the landing of the main stair. Underneath this one can go Into the baHement either from the kitchen or from The yacht trln and scene Is a fine 'he rear entry. The refrigerator Is in the rear entry Cost to build, exclusive example of the scene painters' and ' ot plumbing and heating. $3,225. mechanics' arts. It smacks ot the sea j by Its fidelity, and when tho etorm breaks ilia electric effects are re FiirKable. On this yacht, too, senti ment runs riot, and matches are tnade right and left. All through the four acts humor and wit abound, and laughter is the rule. Mr. Andrctvs' View. .Ed M. Andrews takes the following Tlw ot tho play: Brewster's Mil lion, ino book, -was written to en tertain rather than to Instruct, and tho play was dramatized for tho same roason, and it is certainly fulfilling Its mission. Brewster's Millions at tho opera house last night was a com edy well worth seeing. It gives op portunity for scenic effects that are hove tbc usual. The storm scene, i .Ktrtlcular, was very effective. The cast Is a large ono and In last Ight's performance every part was iorouglily well sustained. Tho char acters como and go with such fre quency that thore Is no opportunity lor any ono actor to make a very deep Impression, aside from Mont Eomery Brewster, who is tho central flgur- of tho play, and tho character of Peggy, played by Miss Lytton, who has somo very good scenes with BrewBter. Of course, tho dramatist Intention-1 ally wrote a one-part play, ami the success of last night's performance I rested entirely with Royal Tracy, who i played tho part of Montgomery Brow- j By special arrangement with me the editor of this paper will furnish one omplete set of plans and specifications of design No. SAU for $25. GLENN L. SAXTON. I wish to convey Is that tho man who pleases you In either comedy or trag edy, tho man who makes you laugh or beguiles you of your tears, must be a man ot education, reflnemonts, a thinker and close student of human nature. Tho writer had tho pleasure of an hour's chat with Mr. Tracy, and found him to bo a very Interesting gentleman, one who would be first and foremost at any literary gather Ing. Ho has a home in tho east, wife and little boy, and Is much Interest ed in horticulture, with which bo busies himself on his little farm dur ing his months of vacation, but Mr Tracy Is Imbued with the spirit of the west. He says our hills, valleys and snow-capped mountains and rivers that run like crystal to the sea, have gono Into his blood, and will draw him to tho west. Ho says that Med ford is the best town ot its size that ho has ever seen In his travels. Tomorrow night we will see Miss Melville as Sis Hopkins. She Is an Indiana girl and has long slnco made her reputation. Selah!

Aside 'from discussion of the Auiorloar hu nnd her products, tho fonttir of yes ! tet'dny's Inquiry Into high foo l prices hy u house commlttuo waa tK atato moutsr of Pr. It. W. Wiley, chief of tho bureau of chemistry of tho de partment of agriculture, that sinister Influence had accomplished tho ro j ponl 6t the provision law relating to enforcing efficiency In tho cold ator- ngo ot food products. j Dr. Wiley said tho elimination of 'the appropriation for this work hud greatly hampered his department In protecting tho public from delete rlous food products. In reply to questions, Dr, Wlloy stated ho was suro tho cold-storage peoplo themselves had had nothing to do with it. nnd, ot course, tho con sumer was Innocent. The appropria tion wns omitted 'Inst year. "What Is tho most certain mothod ot assuring onosolt that an egg Is absolutely fresh?" asked Represen tative Pearro. "Watch tho hen." replied Dr. Wl loy. "I want to know when nn ogg seems to bo fresh and starts verging on tho passe," explnlned Mr. Penrre. "11 answer It," replied Dr. Wi ley, "It you will tell mo when a pig ceases to be a pig and begins to be come a hog." Seriously, Dr. Wlloy said cold stor age could not bo blamed tor nil bad oggs. He added that they should not bo kept In cold storage as long nB a year. Nino months should bo the longest period, he thought. TO MAKE IT LAWFUL TO WRITE ON PACKAGE WASHINGTON. Jan. 27. All tho Christmas voto would bo cast, it tho opportunity wero presented, In favor ot a bill Just Introduced by Senator Knuto Nolson ot Minnesota to correct an ovll that was the sourco of much complaint last month. , It has to do with tho "not-to-bo-oponed-untll-Chrlstmas" packages. Congress tried to pass a law provid ing that those words might bo In scribed on a packngo without raising tho cost for postage Nelson's hill provides In lnngungo that cannot bo subject to misconstruc tion that peoplo mny write the "don't open" notice on a packngo without changing tho rate of postage. NEVER KNEW BEFORE THAT PERKINS HAD A BACKBONE WASHINGTON, Jan. i!7.- Nuwh-, paper men ut 1 ho imtimml enpilul lire n hardened lot of tmregiMiorutoH. So thinks Senator lloyhimi of Idaho, i who, yiueo his speech of Inm hoIci I in tho Hcnate, advocating nliolWi mont of tho prcstf gallery unit do nouncing tho correspondents for their frivolous handling of momen tous events, hasn't been receiving very much attention ,in tho public prints. So, ulo, thinks Senator Perkins of California, now that the latest example of their irreverence hns been lmnmht to his attention. A few weeks ago the California Holon hIIdihmI on an icy pavement and bruised hi spine. The i socedilv readied the headquarter of the California newspaper corre spondents. One of them lieeninc wildlv excited. "Oh, it's only n trivial injury." ono of his colleagues expostulated. "Trivial injury hell I" the per turbed one snorted. "My paper wiP want to cet out an extra. Just think how he's hurt! Why, his backbone's injured. Do yon hear that 7 And out our way thoy never knew Ito lini' a Imokbone!" Senator Perkins is laying for the joker. "PUPPY LOVE" CAUSES YOUTHS TO RUN SOUTH nhiNU, Nov., Jan. tenroli is being mndo in this city for n well known young couple, Alfred Moss, 17 venrs old, son of Alvin Moss, nnd Zelln Lowis, aged '20. who quietly slipped out or J'ntsloy, ur near Lokoviow, Monday, and nro thought to have boon married in Reno.

Sho said sho would remain in Lnkeview for n whilo, visiting friends before lenving for Portlnnd. Nothing further has been hoard of them. The parents objected to tho tnnrriage on the ground that they wero too voting. Their disappear ance is said to hnvo preatnd a sen sation in the stnnll town.
