Fourth Ward Cluh Addressed hy Good Speakers. The Fouth Ward Registered Republican Club held its third regular meeting last night at the headquarters, on Fourth street. The hall was crowded to over flowing, many being unable to get in the building, and the audience was Intensely enthusiastic, Interrupting the speakers with applause .after nearly every sen tence. Sixty names were added to the roll, making a total of over 400 members. The talks were all interesting, and the music and vaudeville numbers the kind that would please the most fastidious. The first speaker introduced was City Attorney J. M. Long, who confined his re marks to the subject of expansion. He took up all the phases of the question, however, and spoke of them in an ex haustive manner. He extolled the glori ous work of the Second Oregon Regiment, and declared that the Stars and Stripes would never be pulled down in the Phil ippine Islands while the American people had their senses. Wallace McCamant was the next speak er on the programme. All seemed to know him. and sat back in their chairs as if to hear something to their liking. Nor were they disappointed, for Mr. McCam anfs talk, was richly Illustrated with amusing incidents, and his points were well put. He took up in turn expansion, silver and .the trusts. The speaker con demned the Democratic party for taking up the latter subject as a National Issue, saying their reason for abusing the trusts was because they knew trusts had no friends. Mayor Storey was called on, and deliv ered a strong address on the nocesslty of registering before May 15. He reminded his hearers that if one does not put-his name down in the books on or before that Early Plums Are Ripe In our Domestic Department Here are a few ot them: Unbleached Sheets Heavy, soft quality 2X2 yards, for 47c each. 2x2 yards, for 53c each.

In order to vote, to have six freeholders at the polls to swear that he Is a voter. The Major cpoke of the trouble that this will occa sion, and asked, for their own good, that they register Immediately. During the programme Judge Hennessy sang "The Blue and the Gray," and re sponded to an encore with a comic song entitled "Charity Began at Home." A second encore was called for, and the Judge sang "All Alone." Robinson and Vaujrhn. the champion ragtime team of the Coast, appeared at their best in a I coon song entitled "I Thought Tou Was a Friend of Mine," and for an encore caused everybody to laugh with a ragtime hymn. "Throw Out the Lifeline." A third song of theirs was called "I'm the Luckiest Coon in Town." r TO REACH CYCLE PATHS. Colonel Hawking Makes Some Timely Practical SHCprestlonH. Colonel L. L. Hawkins, to whoso efforts the wheelmen owe many of the privileges that have been granted them, makes the following suggestions, whose adoption, he thinks, would do much to settle the long atandlng feud between those who ride and those who walk: "First The city should deslgnate"by or dinance an area In the heart of the city most thickly settled, where cyclers should not be allowed to use the sidewalks, Sum mer or Winter. This ordinance should also embrace the sidewalks on paved streets. I would suggest Fourteenth, Jef ferson, and GUsan as extreme limits. "Second The Council should at once ded icate one-half of the sidewalks leading from this area to the termini of the vari ous paths to the use of wheelmen the year round. "Most people do not seem to understand that the County Commissioners have no right to make paths in the city till the Council has dedicated the right of way. The main arteries must be established first, and then the aid of the Council should be invoked to secure right-of-way for the connecting links.

Pride of Portlanders, in their beautiful city and the grand mountain ought to furnish an Incentive for complet ing this path, which is already half done, I would suggest that of the 51 25 tax, all of the, 25 cents not needed for costs of collection might be dooted to this path. If this Is not practicable, perhaps an ar rangement could be made for the pur chase of a limited number of Clackamas County tags under a special arrangement as to how the money so collected is to be applied The Clackamas County Commis sioners have assured me that they would do their utmost to assist in the building' of this path, and would keep their part of it in repair after It was built. Our Commissioners have kindly offered to lend Clackamas County all the machinery they have on hand, and Commissioner Steel has offered to give some time to acting as su perintendent of construction. "By all means, let us have a path to Mount Hood, and let Multnomah County be the banner county In the Northwest for fine cycle paths. Let us have eome system about It, too, eo that we shall not be always bumping into each other. It can be done by co-operation." Found the Stolen Horse. HILLSBORO, March 29. James T.

Comedy was rift and ran rampant at Cordray's Theater last night, when the Boston Lyric Opera Company sang the catchy numbers of "La Mascotte," and the comedians cracked jokes new and old, and perpetrated puns that were ex cusable because they were execrable and uttcrad at the same time with impunity. Josephine Stanton, as Bettlna, the turkey girl, was charming even In her rags of the first act, and sang the pretty songs and duets in her usual brilliant style. Her "Gobble" duet with Plppo was the best work of the evening, and well deserved the spontaneous recall. Maude Leekley. as. Flametto, filled her ro'e to parfectlon. All she had to do was to look pretty Henry Hallam, as Plppo, the shepherd, sang In his most cheery mood, and sang well, and Frank Maslln and Alex Joel sang acceptably. The funmakers John Henderson as the grotesque old Prince Lorenzo, and George Kunkel as Rocco, his lord chamberlain, made the most of the ludicrous sltuatlors in the opera. The dialogue hits were brought down to date, puns atrocious, and the make-up most ri diculous. These two fellows are a whirl wind of fun. The chorus attracted attention not only for their usual good singing, but the spec tacular portion lent an added charm.

I ask space to correct an error which appeared in The Orcgonlan last Novem ber, concerning the conduct of the Thirty fifth United States Volunteers during their sojourn in Honolulu. The depredations committed by the soldiers were not by the Thirty-fifth, but by soldiers of other regiments, whom I will not mention. The writer witnessed such acts as were de scribed by your paper, nnd committed by these other soldiers. One of the Hono lulu papers was loud In praise of the Thirty-fifth, and the citizens accorded with them In praise. When we slowly steamed out the harbor," it was to tha strains of music furnished by the famous Honolulu band, an honor rarely ever oc curring to any Teglment on Its way to these Islands. E. M.

"Wentworth, a prominent lumber man, of Duluth, Minn., who has been In Oregon for the past m,onth, looking over the timber resources of the state, returned from Klamath County yesterday. He 13 much Impressed with the magnitude of the timber belt lying along the line of the proposed railroad between Klamathon, Cal., and Klamath Falls, Or., but consid ers it too remote from market for con venient shipping, ae there are. he says, doubts about the railroad being built very soon. "I find large quantities of timber for Balo In Oregon," he said, at the St. Charles yesterday, "and much of It Is of fered at very reasonable prices; butpur chases must be made slowly, as It takes timo personally to inspect each quarter offered for sale, especially where the land Is remote from railroads or navigable streams. "There Is a world of fine timber In Ore gon, and quarter-sectlona carrying S.CO0.0C0 feet are by no means uncommon. Just think of the timber on a whole township, each quarter-section of which carries 8.000.000 feet. This would make 32 00O.000 feet to the section, and 1,152 000.000 feet on a township. These figures are enough to stagger a man used to the sparse for ests and smaller trees of the East. "There will be a market for It all. how ever, as the timber of Michigan and Wis consin Is nearly all gone, and even now the cities of Duluth and Superior are be ing built largely of your Oregon fir." Mr. "Wentworth thinks the extreme East must shortly look to the Pacific Coast for Its lumber, as the Atlantic forests have about given out, as well as those of the Mississippi Valley states, and New York and Boston, which have been getting lum ber by the Iake route, will shortly be shipping Oregon lumber all the way by rail. The long haul of the heavy fir, he realizes. Is a problem, to be solved by the railroad companies, but the Increasing demand will find a way to overcome this. "If we have the Nicaragua Canal, the cities of the Atalantlc seaboard would be our best customers, as lumber could be loaded on deep-water vessels right here In Portland, and the cost of transporta tion via the canal would not be great. "r expect to see a large number of East ern lumbermen Interested In Oregon fir within a short time, and this -condition will be followed by the erection of modern sawmills In many portions of the yet un broken forest Mr. Wentworth will irc maln out here for several weeks yet.

A party of 20 newcomers from Pennsyl vania registered at the St. Charles last evening. The members are mostly youns men, and some of them hae considerabla means, while others are open for the firet work that offers. They are out here under the auspices of A. C. Mowrey, a timber dealer, of Stella, Wash., who is from tha samo portion of Pennsylvania (Schuylkill County) himself. The newcomers pride themselves on being of Pennsylvania Ger- man stock, and although their ancestors for the past four generations have been American born, the Teutonic accent la strong enough In their language to enablo them to pass for recent arrivals from Ger many. In fact, most or them speak very poor English, giving as an excuse for this that their schools In Schuylkill County aro very poor and taught by young people who have grown up in their own locality. They propose to scatter oin In Oregon and Washington, however, and expect to Im prove their English andvpass for the native-born Americans they are In the near future. If they like It out here they will be the means of bringing many more of their neighbors to the Coast. They ay wages are poor In Pennsylvania and they find that the 12-year-old boy of, their number can earn more money out here than a grown man can back on tha farms of Pennsylvania. t o Opposed to Puerto Itlcnn Tariff. The Straight Republican Club, of tho Ninth Ward, held a largely attended meet ing last evening at the Justice Courtroom on East Morrteon street. For most of tho evening there was standing room on'y. A. W. Lambert presided at this meeting. Lively music was supplied by the Usona quartet, made up of local singers, ard they were heartily encored. W. Stapleton, formerly of "Vancouver, delivered the open ing address of the evening, and spoke with much force for nearly an hour, main ly on expansion and the commercial prog ress Of the Northwest. Mr. Stapleton also referred to the Puerto Rlcar tariff as pro posed, and said that It was wrong in prin ciple and should not be enacted. He con sidered that this island has become a part of tho United States, and that as such Its people are entitled to "free Intercourso with this couritry. The speaker intimated that the enactment of a tariff would oper ate as a death blow to real expansion, and that It were better at once to declare tho island Independent than to undertake to enact this tariff. The closing portion of Mr. Stapleton's address was devoted to a discussion of trusts. After music by the TJsona quar tet, Robert Bell was Introduced, and he made a vigorous talk. In the course of the evening there were other addresses interspersed with music K o I K i I 1 2 ' J W p VA i I IxH i J M
