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. e DAILY CITY STATISTICS.

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 R- E.

Hor Performance Delighted a Big House nt the Mnratwm-Mac- Dovrell's Fine "Worlc 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. ' a PERSONAL MENTION.
