Charles Froham will present the favorite actress, Blanche Bates and an
excellent company of players in her latest dramatic triumph, "The
Witness for the Defense," at the Heilig Theatre, 11th and Morrison
streets for 3 nights, beginning Thursday, June 19. Matinee Saturday.
Rain which Saturday struck Port
land like a cloudburst, and which is
reported to have filled the streets of
the metropolis from curb to curb, ow
ing to the flooded condition of the
sewers, came as a welcome relief I
to Clackamas county, where it was
less violent in form, and probably
more generally desired. Berry grow
ers may have suffered somewhat
from the heavy showers, though most
of them declared it would be fine for
the second crop fruit. It was also
said that it would benefit the later
berries and small fruits, which are
now beginning to develop, and which
the hot and dry spell was threaten
ing. The greatest joy in the showery
weather was expressed by ranchers,
however, who have been looking i
askance at the former early summer
sunshine and heat. The rain, they
say, will prove a great benefit, loos
ening up the soil, and giving an im
petus to grains and other crops that
was badly needed. Out in the coun
try Saturday everybody seemed pleas
ed at the weather, even if it 'did inter
fere somewhat with picnics and out
door amusements.
The rain also laid the dust on the
county roads, and put them in fine
shape for hauling and general travel.
The showers were not long enough
to produce much mud, but helped ma
terially in packing the highways.
BERLIN, June 14. The stage has
been sat and every detail of the ar
rangements completed for the cele
bration of the Kaiser's jubilee the
coming week. Thousands of visitors
from all parts of the empire are ar
riving in Berlin to witness the festivities.

A strong, impressive play, faultless
ly acted, may be anticipated from the
stimulating announcement that
Blanche Bates will appear here tit
the Heilig for three nights and Sat
urday matinee, opening Thursday,
June 19, in a new drama, "The Wit
ness for the Defense." This play,
which comes from the pen of A. E.
W. Mason, the English novelist, had
a long run in London at the St. James
Theatre, where it was declared to be
a work of exceptional dramatic in
terest. The story is novel and full of sus
tained interest The opening scene
takes place at night in a red-draped
tent in India where the heavy humid
mystery of the Oreient is all-prevad-ing.
A young English woman, wed
ded to a drunken brute, is forced to
kill him in self-defense. It is a bit of
tense, compressed tragedy such as is
seldom seen but it is a human epis
ode, poignant with truth and reality.
Aftar a lapse of two years, the scene
changes to a village in Sussex, Eng
land. Here the woman, who has won
the love of a gallant young British
officer, is confronted by the problem
as the whether or not she shall con
fess the truth and reveal the secret of
her past to the man she loves before
he marries her. She dares not take
the risk of a revulsion of feeling on
his part until her fine instincts make
iier realize that this is the only safe
course toward ultimate happiness.
Blanche Bates, whose name is in
separably linked with some of the
finest stage creations of modern time,
will, of course, give a notable char
acterization of the -heroine in "The
Witness for the Defense." She will
have the support of as fine a company
of players as Charles Froham could
bring together for the interpretation
of the work.

cock and his big supporting company of 80 people, at The Heilig the
atre,' 11th. and Morrison streets, for 4 nights, beginning Sunday, June
15th, in the brilliant musical comedy success, "The Red Widow." Spe
cial price matinee Wednesday. '
At the Heilig theatre, corner 11th
and Morrison streets, for four nights
beginning Sunday, Sune loth, and a
special price Wednesday matinee.
Cohan & Harris will present the fam
ouse comedian Raymond Hitchcock,
in the'mucl talked of musical play,
"The Red Widow." A work by Chan
nfng Pollock, Renold Wolf and Chas.
J. Gobest. It is claimed to be a work
of clever characterization, which af
fords Mr. Hitchcock ample scope for
him quaint fun making. The Red
Widow, bounded into instant popular
ity when first presented in New York
a year and a half ago.- Word has al
ready reached us that San Francisco
has fallen for the charms of this al
luring lady in red.
Mr. Hitchock appears in the play as
Cicero Hannibal Butts, a retired mil
lionaire corset manufacturer of Yonk
ers N. Y. He is making the grand
tour of Europe accompanied by Mrs.
Butts. On the eve of his departure
from London he learns that Mrs.
Butts has become a convert to the
cause of woman's suffrage, and de
cides to remain in London and work
for the rights of women, thus leaving
her husband to journey on the con
tinent alone.
Mr. Butts strays into the Alacazar
Music hall, London, and meets a. very
beautiful young woman, who by the
way is gowned in red. During the lit
tle flirtation which ensues, she learns
from the susceptible American that
he is about to leave for Russia.
She induces him to permit her to
cross the Russian frontier on his pass
port, which by the way is made out
to Mr. and Mrs. Butts. Butts -ioes
not realize that there is any harm in
permitting such a pretty girl to ac
company him. The second act finds
the couple at a fashionable hotel in
St. Petersburg. The charmer in-
forms.Mr. Butts that she is a nihilist,
and known to the secret police as
"The Red Widow" and her reason for
returning to Russia was for the pur
pose of killing the Czar. Stunned by
such a revelation Butts tries to make
his escape but finds that he is already
suspected by the police who pay him
a little visit. He convinces them that
he is an inoffensive American citizsn
and that his only crime is spending
money and having a good time.
The widow forces him to attend a
"a white fete" in the gardens of the
czar's winter place. He. again tries
to escape from her. But finds that
he is surrounded by the widow's band
of nihilist's. It is around these many
merry entanglements that the authors
have written their story which at a
glance may be seen the fun that is
created. With police, nihilists, bombs
and pistols.
STRAWBERRIES MAY
RISE, SAY GROWERS
Strawberries are still selling at one
dollar a crate in this locality, and un
biased reports from Portland are to
the effect that in Bpite of the efforts
to boom the market in certain quar
ters, no difference in price prevails
there. The heavy rain of Saturday,
however, may bring about a slight
rise in the fruit next week, as early
reports from some of the growers in
dicate that the present crop may have
been damaged. The rain is regared
as favorable, for second-crop fruit.
Raspberries are soon to make their
appearance in local markets, accord
ing to reports from growers.-
Scarcity of new potatoes has given
a little relief to ranchers who have
been holding old spuds for a rise, and
values are beginning to pick up.
There is no real money in old pota
toes as yet, however.
Reported advance in flour, noticed
in these columns Saturday, has not
been, heard of outside of Oregon Citv,
and particularly in -Gladstone. Burns'
store in the latter town has a plenti
ful supply of excellent sacked and
bulk flour on hand, and will continue
to sell it at present quotations." -Asparagus
