Grocers Paid Xiqitor Ucense. Tfcere
was a general rusa to pay city licenses
yesterday, and the list was very nearly
Paid in full, only a few expressmen ana
other payers of small licenses falllnc to
come to time. Much to the surprise of
the license officer, every sroceryman who
had a license to sell liquors last quarter
appeared and took out a license for this
quarter, paying $100 therefor. This settles
the question of the grocers contesting tne
law for the present; hut no one expecjea
that all the grocers would take out license.
The reason was explained by one of the
Chinese grocers, who stated that all of
them had a stock of liquors on hand,
which they could not legally dispose of
unless they had a license. Probably most
of them will drop off the list next quar
ter It had not been expected that mora
than two or three restaurant men would
take out license, but seven of them put up
5100 each. Some of them said their busi
ness had been greatly Increased by taking
out a liquor license. Several members op
the council expressed themselves as in
favor of the flat 5400 license ordinance in
troduced by Cameron yesterday, and if
the wholesalers favor it, it will probably
pass.

was going along Fourth street, near the
corner of "Washington, when he stumbled
into an open cellarway, opposite Blasen s

statute making it amlsdemeanor for a man
to ask to be placed on the jury list, but
nevertheless the commissioners have been
dally Importuned by a number of people
for this purpose. The commissioners are
becoming tired of it, and threaten to make
an example of somebody. These persona

77 years of age, and his Illness was brief.

on account of his service under Colonel
"William Crooks, of Portland, Or. John
and his wife were detained among the

Mr.- Stevens thinks the timber lands of
Oregon are now practically taken up.
There are vacant quarters here and there
in all the coast counties and along the
western slopes of the Cascades, but these
were mostly entered some 10 years ago,
when a rush was made for timber lands,
for speculative purposes. Quite a number
of homestead entries were made at that
time, but many of these have since lapsed
and are now open to entry. Under the
homestead law the homesteader has seven
years in which to make first proof, and,
failing In this, his entry Is cancelled at
the "United States land office, so the land
can be entered again and title secured
without trouble, by the second entryman.
even though the first homesteader still
resides on the land. The Northern Pacific
railroad, he says, Is now laying forest re
serve scrip on many of these cancelled
quarters In Oregon and "Washington. "When
the government established the Rainier
forest reserve, the Northern Pacific was
knocked out of several million acres, and
forest reserve scrip was issued to the
company in lieu of these reserved lands.
Settlers who have held on to their quar
ter section of timber for several years,
Mr. Stevens thinks, are now about to re
ceive the reward for their constancy, as
the claims will now be worth from. $700
to $3000 each, according to location and
amount of timber. The demand for timber
lands Is no longer the result of specula
tion, but exists as a result of the world's
market, which Is now directly open for
Oregon ana wasmngton timoer.

Athletics, Bovrllnsr, Entertainment
and Social Tomorrow Nitrnt.
Tomorrow evening promises to be a live
ly one at the Young Men's Christian As
sociation. The young people of the F'rst
Methodist church are booked for an enter
tainment and social, The Dalles bowlers
will meet the home team on the association
alleys, match games will be played in the
gymnasium, and refreshments will be
6erved in the main lobby.
The diversity of the evening's pro
gramme Is made necessary by the large
attendance. It is easy to see that while
these socials are membership affairs, pro
visions has to be made for a large num
ber, as the annual report of the associa
tion shows slightly over 1000 members.
This social entertainment is one of a
series which Is being given during the
winter by the leading churches of the city.
Some four of these have passed with the
greatest success In each case. The First
Methodist young people believe that they
can not only attain the pace set by their
predecessors, but even hope to go them one
better. To this end they are making lively
preparation. They promise that their stock
of games will be complete, and that their
literary programme shall be second to
none.
The literary programme will be rendered
during the early evening, in the gymna
sium, and later in the large parlors, so as
to give this room to the match games.
The bowling alleys will also be a busy
place. The Dalles team will arrive on the
morning train to try for Portland honors.
The outcome of the event is looked for
ward to with much Interest, as it is prac
tically the first appearance The Dalles
men have made In the city this winter.
The Y. M C. A team feels quite comfort
able as to the outcome of the game. Its
success so far this year has been such
that the boys figure a victory for Friday

PORTLAND GIVES WARM GREETING
TO THE DISTINGUISHED AOTOR.

Evidence Beautiful Production.
oi "The Lion's Montfc."
Frederick "Warde had an unmistakably
cordial greeting, a hearty, old-fashioned
reception, an enthusiastic "Webfoot wel
come, at the Marquam last night His
friends and admirers packed the theater
from celling to orchestra rail. Minnie Tit
tell Brune's friends were likewise In evi
dence; so it was a double opening night
event, and everybody was pleased. As
usual, the audience Insisted on a speech,
and Warde took occasion to say pleasant
things about Portland he really Is very
fond of Portland and praised Mrs. Brune.
It Is not necessary to recall the
story of the beautiful romantic
drama, "The Lion's Mouth." It has
been seen several times in Port
land; but It is so full of poetry and
romance, and deathless love, and all that
keeps tne heart or xne worm young mm
sweet, that no number of repetitions can
dull Its charm or Interest, or make It less
worth seeing. The scene is laid in the
noonday of Venetian splendor and power,
when Venice was called the "bride of the
sea," and Mr. "Warde has taken advan
tage of the time and place to present a
beautiful series of stage pictures, full of
warmth and color of gay streets full of
riotous maskers, and moonlit gardens,
statue-haunted that make a fit setting
for the romantic action of the play.
Every one of the four acts of "The Lion's
Mouth" Is replete with poetic ideas and
nvsrflnwlnir -with lust SUCh situations as
best suit the talents of Mr. "Warde and
the people with whom he has surrounded
himself.
As Paul of Navarro, an exile and the
rightful doge of Venice, Mr. "Warde Is at
his best. The beautiful- lines which be
long to the role are strongly read by him.
He Is the possessor of all the fire the part
should be Invested with, and his splendid
stage presence and manly, sympathetic
voice realize what must have been the
playwright's dream when he gave his
creation to the world. Few actors could
more fittingly portray the tenderness
which he breathed In the love scenes with
Llnora, and fewer could with equal suc
cess sustain the heroic strength which the
part calls for. Nothing more need he said
of Mr. "Warde "than that he plays with
the old-time touch that has lost none of
its grace and persuasiveness. He looks
just as young and handsome, In the love
passages he thrills with the same fire ana
passion, and his voice has still the golden
notes that make him an ideal lover.
Mr. "Warde Is supported by Mrs. Clar
ence M. Brune, known In Portland as
Minnie Tittell. Mrs. Brune Is In every
way worthy of 'Mr. "Warde. Her Llnora
could hardly be too highly commended.
Sweet" and girlish in her every word and
movement; graceful and modest, she wins
her way rapidly to the hearts of her audi
ence, and when she is fighting for the life
of the man to whom she has given her
love she Is the very embodiment of abne
gation and grief. Mrs. Brune is a splrlt
uelle little woman with a sweet face, a
most graceful carriage, a good voice and
excellent training. She is possessed of
that melody of voice and charm of action
that at once establishes her in the sym
pathy and favor of her audience, and this
popularity follows her throughout the
play, and her sorrows and happy moments
are a reality, shared by her audience.
Mr. "Warde has never had a better com
pany than he has this year. Charle3 D.
Herman, as "the chief Inquisitor," is
remarkably effective, and Is so natural In
his wickedness that he gains the Intense
hatred of the audience from the begin
ning. Mr. Herman is a consummate art

daughter, assumed the coquettish role of
Marcella, and greatly pleased the audi

were In good hands.
Tonight Mr. "Warde and company will

ner. This society is one of the few charita
ble organizations which spend a larger
amount in aid of the poor than the total
sum of membership dues collected. Since
its organization it has paid out for purely,
charitable purposes the sum of $17,881 76,
and It fully deserves the support of all
the charitable-Inclined German citizens
of the state, as it extends its benevolent
work all over Oregon.

COMINS ATTRACTIONS.
The Neill Company.
For an actor of his years there has prob
ably been no greater enterprise or strength
of purpose shown during the present gen
eration than in the person of James Neill,
of the Incomparable Neill company, that
Is to make Its first appearance In Portland
next Monday evening, beginning a week's
engagement. Moat of us in this country
are patriotic enough to be exceedingly
eager for the triumph of American artists
and enterprise, whether it be upon the
stage or In the workshop, and to that end
are extremely anxious that genius should
have the largest freedom and the fewest
possible Impediments In Its development.
In the case of the remarkable success of
James Neill and the Neill company, the
most conservative critics have run into an
almost extravagance of loyalty and ex
pressions of delight in describing the ben
efits and advantages derived by the Ameri
can stage through the thorough high-class
productions of wholesome plays, such as
are given by the Neill company.
The present Is the first tour that the
Neill company has ever made. Its man
agement was at first doubtful as to wheth
er the people of other cities than where
the organization had bean appearing foi
the past five years would know of the com
pany's merits and welcome it as It might
a better-known organization, but Its suc

headed by the popular favorite, Miss Stella
Bonar, who Is held in high esteem not
only In tnls country but In London and
Paris. Frank de Camp and Max Steinle,
a duo of clever comedians, will assume
the principal roles in "A Cheerful Liar,"
the latter having recently closed a long
and prosperous season with L. B. Stock
well in "A Midnight Bell," while the
former Is known throughout the entire
coast. John Howard, Bernard Jaxon, Syd

the famous originator of ragtime mus'o,

Hiffb. Prices for Flour.
Harney County News.
Flour Is now worth $10 a barrel In Burns.
This Is the highest price ever obtained for

on such an article. We trust to see the
price reduced to something near the actual
cost of delivery here.
