FABRIC FROM OREGON FLAX
Fine Xnpliin Sent to the Association
From BclBum.
A handsome linen napkin of large sze,
woven from Oregon flax, has Just been
received by Mrs O. N. Denny, president
of the Oregon "Women's Flax Fiber Asso
ciation, from Belgium. About two years
ago, Monsieur Lopens, of Neerpelt, Belgium,
visited this State and super ntended the
erection of some tanks at Salem for the
Oregon Women's Flax Fiber Association
for retting flax, by what Is known as the
Lopana process, which Is a great Improve
ment over the old process of retting.
When he was going away he atked that
the women send him a sample of Oregon
flax for him to experiment with.
Last eprlng a parcel of flax grown on
Judge Denny's place was sent to him, and
be prepared the fiber and sent It to a
mill and had several napkins of large s ze
woven from It. One of these, unbleached,
he has sent to Mrs. Denny, and several
others, bleached and unbleached, will ar
rive later. The piece received has been
examired by linen experts and pronounced
a firM-oiass article. It is heavy and well
woven, the threads being very even In
size. After It has been presented for in
apectkra at the meeting of the stockholders
of the Flax Fiber Association, which
takes place tomorrow, it will be placed
on exhibition in a window at Olds &
King's, where all can have an opportunity
to view it. Any Oregonlan would he
proud to have a chest of this linen to hand
down to posterity as an heirloom.
ENTHUSIASM AT CORDRAY'S
Snndny's Welcome to the Frairlcjs
Is Repented.
That the Frawley company has a place
in the hearts of Portland theater-goers
which is ocsupled by no other dramatic
organization that ever played here was
abundantly evidenced by the record-breaking
house Sunday night, but fresh proof
whs at hand last evening, when an audi
ence that taxed the capacity of the the
ater went over all ordinary bounds of
enthusiasm in demonstrating their ap
proval of "The Sportinn Duchess." Not
a scene passed without tumultuous ap
plause, and each Individual member of the
company was made to feel that his or her
share in the artistic performance was
fully appreciated. The race scene, which
Is the most realistic that has been seen
on a Portland stage, is the crowning cli
max of the play, and it set the audience
farily wild. Mr. Frawley was busy yes
terday, receiving congratulations on the
excellent company he has brought to
Portland, and the lavishness with which
he has staged his opening plaj. He prom
ised that he would endeavor to retain tho
esteem that has been accorded him, for
he says -that he regards the theater-oers
of Portland as his best friends, and will
never fall to give them the very best that
a good company and a magnificent set of
scenery can furnish.

The Slangliter ot Deer.
BROWNSVILLE, Or., Feb. 22. (To the
Editor.) The communication In your paper
of the th, from W. H. Wheeler, of
Greenleaf, commenting on the game laws
of the State, calls to the front those who
are in favor of game protection. We ad
mit It 1s a burning shame to have one's
hay crop destroyed by an old suckling doe.
They are such line eating, too, that the
wife and children must live fat on such
meat. What will they subsist on In the
future If the pot-hunters, as he calls
them, keep killing suckling does? How
long will the deer last? Remember how
the buffalo lasted after the slaughter commencedpot-hunters,
too, hunting for their
wtves and children, like the forked-toed
coyote-hunters. I have no doubt but what
the deer in that vicinity suck the cows
and deprive the women and children of
that part of life's sustenance. And the
nek, perhaps, eat up all tho watermelons.
Too bad that we have any game law at
att. ,
I would suggest that the Oregon Game
& Ftea Association buy and fence the
Wheeler ranch for a private hunting re
sort. Again, it might be well for them
to hire a good xaan with ho wife and
chUurea to herd the deer off from the
hay and garden patches of Greenleaf. Let's
hear from ethers on the subject

House nt the Mnratwm-Mac-

Blanche Walsh and Melbourne Mac-
Dowell constitute a team that will ever
have constant friends In Portland. Their
fidelity to the legitimate is rewarded, if
one may judge by signs, by a steadily
Increasing appreciation on the part of the
public
A big house gave them greeting at the
Marquam in "Cleopatra" last night. It
was a sumptuous production, and the
principals seem to have Improved since
their last appsarance. Of course, the chief
Interest in the play made so familiar ana
staged so magnificently by Fanny Daven
port centered In Blanche Walsh. It la
easy to conceive she will win greater
distinction than Miss Davenport did, be
cause she is better equipped by nature
for tho fight. She is more lithe, like
Bernhardt; has more expression, and Is
more effective in scenes of greater pas
sion. Of her Cleopatra much might be
said. It was presented in a way which
admits of nothing but the most cordial
comment. It was Sardou, tho playwright,
who first made Cleopatra a possible char
acter to the stage. In doing this he de
parted widely from the lines of Shakes
peare and gave to the play a human in
terest which Inspires It.
Blanche Walsh has accepted Sardou's
Intentions, and has built upon them a
great part. The scope offered is much
wider than In the play of Shakespeare.
Miss Walsh follows Fanny Davenport
closely In all her rich coloring. Her con
quests are royal ones. When Caesar died,
no less royal lover could win her. She
was progresshe in her loves. When
Caesar, the great, lay captive in her arms,
he was unwilling to believe there was a
world outside. Sardou makes her not the
common woman history has Indicated, be
cause she is shown to have mental quali
ties that well balanced her animal pas
sions. This Is a poetic view to accept of
Cleopatra, and It is more pleasing to
Imagine that her vices were never coarse
and that her sins were fascinations. In
seeking for a lover to supply Caesar's
place. She demanded equal affin
ity. She found it perfectly developed
In Marc Antony, who was admirably
adapted to continue the story of Cleo
patra's amours. It is fitting that he
should' be the last, because he was the
best qf Egypt's lovers. Caesar's death
was the stepping-stone to Antony's fame.
His entrance to the triumvirate was nat
ural. He was bold and energetic, and he
was a royal lover, ready to swap king
doms for kisses, and would barter lives
for a jest. He passed under the domin
ion of Egypt's queen as quietly as a pris
oner goes to the cell. Shakespeare made
Cleopatra a virago and a heroine, when
perhaps she was neither. She was only a
woman. Sardou makes her consistent,
even In her love for Antony. She make
this "her woman's shame, but her wom
an's glory."
Shakespeare's conception of Cleopatra
was formed In the dawn of English liter
ature, with nothing but Latin precedent
"to draw upon; Sardou worked out his part
with the aid of modern resources. The
performance last night at the Marquam
was a revelation. In many respects it
was the most sumptuous presentation seen
in this City In years. The utmost care
has been bestowed upon every detail,
with tho commendable result of historic
accuracy, as far as possible. Miss Walsh
and Mr. MacDowell aro to be congratu
lated on this score.
Miss Walsh need never fear compara
tive criticism with Fanny Davenport, fot
her work shows more genius than Miss
Davenport ever displayed In the part
Miss Walsh's tones- are silvery, never
harsh; her tenderness is feline, not bois
terous; she letsi the story flow along, re
flecting as it goes, with quickened or
slackened pace, the nicest shades of feel
ing. Miss Walsh's Cleopatra Is intense in
her passion and a creature of real fire.
Mr. MacDowell divided with Miss Walsh
the applause. He is an actor of splendid
powers and varied accomplishments. He
is a player of sympathetic quality, of
keen sensitiveness, and of fine vehemence,
tempered by sound judgment. In his work
last night he fully met the demands of
the character.
Arthur Elliot, as Kephren, the slave,
was successful In the scene where he is
about to drink the fatal potion at his
queen's hands. Katherlne Power accept
ably gave Octavia.
The minor roles were supplied "by an
amply qualified company. A total of 23
curtain calls was the record for last night.
The tempest tableau was prqlonged as
long as possible, and the house would not
be content until Miss Walsh and Mr.
MacDowell had come before the curtain
to bow their thanks and greetings at
shorter range.
The curt'aln will rise tonight promptly
at 8 o'clock. Those who come In after
ward will not be seated until the conclu
sion of the first act This plan was fol
lowed last night, and It met with the en
tire approbation of the audience.
"Cleopatra" will be presented tonight
Wednesday night Sardou's tragic story
of love and jealousy and passion, "La
Tosca."
FOR AN ELASTIC CURRENCY
Amendment Proposed to the Plan
Suggested by Mr. Corbctt.
EUGENE, Or., Feb. 23. (To the Editor.)
The plan for an elastic paper currency,
favored by ex-Senator Corbett and ob
jected to in a recent communication in
your paper, Is certainly an interesting one
In brief, proposing the issue of 2 per cent
United States bonds, and banks holding
them to be permitted to deposit them with
tho United States Treasurer and take out
currency at their par value In exchange
for them, the bonds not to draw Interest
while on deposit In the Treasury; this lust
clause, in effect, by withdrawal of the
interest, being a tax on the issue of cur
rency in order to prevent overissue, and
to make a self-working elastic system.
When there was a scarcity of money "or
tightness at any time, as, for Instance,
in the fall during crop-moving, the bonds
would go into the Treasury for currency.
When the stringency was over or there
was eai easy money market, the currency
would naturally be returned In exchange
for the bonds. In order to get the Interest
on them.
This plan would be practicable, except
for the fact that It would not now be
possible, save by paying high premium,
to fund the present bonds Into 2 per cents.
Additional bonds the people would not
stand until absolutely necessary, which
they are not now; and it Is bad policy, as
well as bad principle, to create additional
debt unless It Is strictly necessary.
But why not permit any one, whether
an individual or a bank, holding United
States bonds, whether the present bonds
are refunded or not, to deposit them at
the Treasury and take out currency for
them, but with this provision, that the In
terest on the bonds should be 2 per cent
less, while so held in the Treasury this
operating as the first proposed tax? This
would produce an elastic and automatic
currency Whenever It was needed $1,000,
009 000 could be added to the country's cur
rency supply, and by allowing any person
to take advantage of It there would be
no favoritism to banks, and this ground
of complaint would be removed.
Under this plan, the person depositing
the bonds could, of course, take them up
any time before they were due by depos
iting the currency issued for them or the
same amount In any other lawful money.
Under this plan there would be no control
or monopoly of currency issue by National
Banks or by any other associations, ex
cept as acting under privileges any ner-
son could use, and there is no reason wby
WALSH
the Issue of money or currency should be
delegated to special persons or assocla-
tlons. H.
FOR BETTER CAR SERVICE.
Woodstoclc Association Has a Con
ference "With Mr. Campbell.
The Woodstock Improvement Associa
tion met Saturday evening at Woodstock
Hall to hear reports of special committees.
The committee on better cor service had
an Interview with Manager Campbell, of
the City & Suburban Railway, in which i
it was stated to Mr. Campbell that, as rep
resentatives of the suburbs of Southeast
Portland, they had not come to discuss
improved street-car service In a spirit of
captious criticism, nor with the Intention
of demanding anything whatever, but
rather to talk over In a friendly way what
rniuht be done In remedying certain im
perfections 'which the citizens of Wood- j
stock and vicinity believe would result
in mutual benefit to the company and Its
patrons.
Mr. Bellinger, chairman of the commit
tee, then presented a list of grievances,
principally of a minor character, and fur
nishing specific instances to Illustrate their
reality. He was ably seconded by Mr.
Havely, and, as both are practical railroad
men, their arguments were such that the
justice of their complaints could not easily
be disputed by a railway official.
It was then up to Mr. Campbell, who
said In reply that the presentation of the
matters at issue In this way was a source
of much gratification to tho management
of the City & Suburban Railway Company;
that the company realized that Its Inter
ests, and the Interests of Its patrons were,
In a large measure. Identical; that a
friendly conference and discussion as to
the wants of Its patrons was exactly what
the company desired to encourage and pro
mote. Taking up the list of grievances
concerning Irregularities, he said that
some of them were new to him, and that
they would all receive immediate atten
tion. In regard to equipment, he said that
better cars would be put on the Woodstock
line In the near future.
As to avoiding delays en route, the com
pany had already put In a switch at Kenll
worth, and would build another at Ivan
hoe soon. The company also had In con
templation an extension of its double track.
Other Improvements of much importance
were under consideration.
The sincerity and frankness of Manager
Campbell's talk to the committee con
vinced the members composing it that the
company was fully determined to do all
In its power to better its service on this
line, and the committee was unanimous
In the opinion that Mr. Campbell was the
right man In the right place.
Mr. Montague presented to the meeting
a plan to open a street producing the line
of Ladd avenue southeastward, with such
changes of direction as deemed necessary
through to Woodstock. He called atten
tion to tho great saving In distance which
would result to all who lived in the south
east suburbs of the City, and pointed out
the well-known fact that diagonal roads
entering Eastern cities are Invariably the
main arteries of travel.
A glance at any City map, he said, would
show that this road would follow the
same general direction as the car lines,
and would, therefore, pass through the
zone of greatest population all the way out
for several miles. He recommended that
a committeo be appointed to report upon
the feasibility of the scheme, and that an
engineer should be a member of the com
mittee, and that Mr. Mitchell, the origin
ator, should be chairman.
Messrs. Mitchell, Bellinger, Havely,
Plympton Kelly and Montague were duly
appointed.
All committees appointed at last meet
ing reported progress, and asked for more
time, which was granted.
A committee, consisting of Messrs. Gil
strap, Jack Kelly ami Bellinger was ap
pointed to confer with the City Board of
Education and to urge the building of a
schoolhouso to accommodate children un
able to attend the Clinton-Kelly school on
account of distance.
Committees were also appointed to look
after repair of Woodstock bridge, and to
secure. If possible, the fencing of the gravel
pit near Mllwaukle road and Woodstock
avenue.
Much enthusiasm was manifested dur
ing the meeting, and a large number of new
members were enrolled. The association
will hold its next meeting Saturday, March
10, at 8 P. M.

An Alien's Questions.
VERNON. B. a, Feb. 21 (To the Ed
itor.) I was born and lived in the United
States until l&d4, but have since become
a British subject. How long would I
have to be In the United States before
I could vote?
In taking a homestead on the Colville
Reservation at the time of its being
thrown open, could I get my first papera
at the time and place I would file on
homestead? GEORGE W. PARKER.
Tou stand upon the same footing as
n.ny alien. In order to vote, you will
have to make declaration of intention to
become a citizen and live the length of
time prescribed by the Constitution of the
State In which you elect to reside.
Tour "first papers" may be had from
any court of record. The Oregonlan does
not know whether you would find such
a court at the place of making a home
stead filing. Possibly the postmaster at
Colville, Wash., could furnish you the
Information.
