CORDRAY'S THEATER (Washington St)
"In Paradise."
Vert Amateur Theatricals. A num
ber of small boys in South Portland got
up a dramatic entertainment Saturday,
using a vacant room In a brick building:
at 665 Haod street for a halL Fred Smith,
a young dramatist, 12 years of age, put a
play of bis own conception on the boards.
This was entitled "The Stolen Wife," but
as no girl could be induced to play the
female part, one of the boys had to as
sume the role. The heavy villain of the
drama, who stole the wife, was hanged
in the last act, the stolen wife helping
In the execution. The admission price
was 1 cent, and the audience numbered
16. At the close of the play some Hood
street children, who thought the show
bad not lasted long enough, demanded
their money back, but the treasurer, an
ticipating the movement, had decamped.
The reason the entertainment only lusted
en hour was that Fred Smith could not
remember the song he had composed for
the occasion, and so he excused himself,
after several vain attempts, by eaylng
"Oh. I forgot it."
Looger's Painful Ikjdrt. Rufus Pugh,
a man employed in Benson's logging
camp near Oak Point, met with a painful
accident a day or two ago. He was em
ployed in sawing a tree Into lengths for
logs. The saw became pinched or bound
so that it could not be drawn through
the cut, Pugh, who is a powerful man.
was exerting all his strength to puU the
aw through and finally succeeded. The
saw, coming with great force, struck him
.across the leg just above the knee, cut
ting a ragged gash clear to the bone. The
mangling of the muBcles caused the most
intense agony, and it took four of Pugh's
fellow-workmen to hold him while the
wound was being attended" to. So great
was his suffering that the perspiration
poured down his face In streams. He was
brought to Portland for medical attend
ance, and his physician says the wound
will leave no lasting effects, as it Is far
enough above the knee not to affect the
Joint.
To Resume Worjc on Locks. Messrs.
INormile. Fastabend & McGregor, con
tractors for the construction of the dam
and locks on the Yamhill River, expect
to resume work on that Job today. The
plledriver to be used in the construction
of the cofferdam which is to divert the
rivor through the locks while the perma
nent dam Is being built was taken up the
Yamhill by the steamer Elmore last week
and landed where it is to be used. The
completion of the permanent dam and re
vetments to protect the banks will finish
their contract, and it is quite certain that
the locks will be ready for operation by
the time the present harvest is ready for
ohipment. But for the sudden rises to
which the Yamhill is liable and the uncon
trollable nature of the current when the
river is in flood, the locks would have been
ready for operatJon last Fall.
FAVons Primary Reform. George T.
flyers, who returned from Seattle last
evening, said that he was decidedly in
favor of the principle Involved In direct
primary nominations, and If the Bing
ham bill is defective it can be made a
nucleus for a bill that can be made as sat
isfactory as the Australian ballot and the
registry law. "There may be," said he,
"improvements that can be made on both.
I am glad the direct primary nominating
is being agitated, as it will result In a
Bood law being mad. While In the Leg
islature I have voted for Australian, reg
istry and direct primary laws." Mr.
Myers, who Is a prominent business man,
is a candidate for Representative from
Multnomah County on the Republican
ticket.
More Registrations Come In. Nearly
300 registrations have come in since the
office closed last Tuesday. These are -all
from the country precincts, and were
made out on or before May 15, but were
sent in late. Just what the total regis
tration In Multnomah County is cannot
toe definitely determined, as there are sev
eral cancellations to be deducted. The
books are now rapidly being straightened
up, and the exact number will be an
nounced probably on Wednesday. There
is much work in getting these books in the
desired condition, but two shifts of men
are now engaged on them, and both shifts
work seven days a week.
Electric Sprinkler Out. The elect jic
sprinkler, for the use of which on streets
where car lines are operated the Board
of Public Works has contracted for the
season, was out Saturday for a trial trip.
It has been undergoing a thorough over
hauling In preparation for the season's
work, and was found to be in complete
order and ready for business as soon as
the board ordered it out. which will doubt
less be forthwith, as there Is already
plenty of dust to be laid. The sprinkler
wagons will probably be placed In com
mission at the same time, and the reg
ular Summer conflict between dust and
water will be on.
Albatross for Citt. Museum. A mag
nificent specimen of the cape nlbatrofs.
the largest of all sea birds, has been pre
sented to the City Museum by Frank
Botefuhr. It was captured off Cape Horn
and mounted on board ship as well as pos
sible with the appliances at hand, oiUcum
being used for stuffing the skin, which has
preserved It perfectly. William Wascher,
an experienced taxidermist, has kindly
volunteered to remount the specimen, and
Jt will make a valuable addition to the
Museum, as such specimens and especially
auch a fine one as this are very difficult
to obtain.
FLORisrs Business Good. Sweet peas
of all colors, grown In hefpnenralr, were
received by the florists Saturday for the
first time this 6eason. Magnificent car
nations by the thousand were also re
ceived and "fine specimens of the American
Beauty rose, on stems five feet long of this
season's growth. Flowers have been plen
tiful this season, and florists say that the1r
business Is increasing all the time and has
doubled within the past three years. As
flowers are an article of luxury purely,
this shows that times are growing better
and people have more money to spend for
luxuries.
Mr. Bingham's Nomination Filed. The
application of E. W. Bingham for a place

New Pilot in Town. A fine, lusty, 10
pour.d boy was yesterday born to the
wife of Captain W. H. Patterson, of the
O. R. & N. Company. Captain Patterton
has rot yet applied for a "branch" for
the young man, as he lsot quite sure
the youth will elect to learn the sinuous
channel of the Columbia, but he is proud
of the youngster. Just the same, and h's
many friends will be glad to learn that
both mother and child are doing well,
Tori-edoes Won. The baseball game
played at Sllverton yesterday afternoon
between the Torpedo nine, of Portland,
and the Sllverton club was won by the
Wolff & Zwicker men. their score being

Mant "Armies" ok the March. The
fine weather has had the effect of greatly
Increasing the number of "armies," reg
ular and volunteer, engaged in warfare
against evil of all kinds. The ranks of
the Salvation Army and Its coadjutors or
rivals, as the case may be, have re
ceived a number of recruits, and all
march and countermarch with their worn
battle flags, faded by the storms of Win
ter, playing music more or less sweet,
and all secure listeners. These "armies"
differ in magnitude from one lone woman,
with a voice like a trumpet, up to a scora
of men and women, with drumE, trumpets,
double bass horns, etc., and, as a rule,
a paucity of numbers, but little effects
the general results. The most pitiable
of all the war-like arrays seen on the
streets yesterday was composed of three
elderly women, decently but poorly clad,
who stood for a l&ng time before a down
town haunt, frequented by large num
bers of working men and men who do
not work, while the oldest of the trio sans
in a cracked, quavering voice a vary
lengthy hymn or song with a refrain of
"That's the news; that's the news." un
heeded by the crowds which poured Into
and out of the place unceasingly.
Last Run of Potatoes. There are only
a few straggling teams bringing potatoes
to market now. in the place of the long
strings of such teams which used to block
Front street a few days ago. This indi
cates that last season's crop of potatoes
has about all been marketed, but large
quantities are stored here for shipment to
Cape Nome and other places In Alaska.
The new crop presses close on the heels
of the old, as a farmer who has a place
out on Columbia Slough says he will have
new potatoes in the market this week. It
will, however, be some time before new
potatoes come into general use. as many
peoplo prefer the old ones as long as they
remain good, and many will continue to
ubo them on account of the high price of
new ones.
Cannert Laborers Go to Puoet Sound.
A large gang of Chinese laborers left
on the train for Puget Sound last night
to work in a cannery at Falrhaven. A
large number of such laborers, many of
them from Astoria, have gone over to the
Sound during the past week, which indi
cates that the combination of canneries
on the Columbia, and the Increase In the
amount of salmon placed In cold storage
or pickled for shipment abroad has re
duced the number of men needed to op
erate the cannorles on the Columbia.
The fact that the fishing season on the
Sound lasts longer than on the Columbia
also tends to attract the Chinese, who
are as much In favor of a "long haul" as
railroad companies are.
Vandals Rob a Garden. A garden in
the southern part of the city, to the care
of which 'the mistress of the place devotes
much time and attention and which re
wards her care with a fine showing of
flowers of many kinds, was robbed Satur
day night by some unscrupulous person.
As only white rosea and white peonies
were taken, the thief was probably mak
ing provision for a wedding or a funeral.
He could have secured the flowers by
simply having asked for them, but he
probably preferred committing a theft to
putting himself under an obligation or
having to return thanks for a favor.
There are too many such parsons running
at large to make gardening a pleasure for
women.
Enjoyable Excursion. The excursion
of the Oregon Camera Club to Hood
River by rail yesterday was attended by
about 400 persons, and a fine time is re
ported. The train of six cars left Port
land at 8:30 A. M. and arrived at Hood
River three nouns later. Nearly all the
members of the club carried cameras, and
many beautiful views were taken. The
weather was delightful, and the visit to
the strawberry fields was enjoyed very
much. Tho excursion party reached home
again at 7 P. M.
L. E. Juston has purchased the New
Java, 150 Fifth street, and will be pleased
to meet his friends and former patrons.
LIVELY FRENCH COMEDY.
Stocltvrell Company MnlceH
With "In Parnrtliie."
Hit
L. R. Stockwell Inaugurated his third
and last week at Cordray's last evening
with the well-known farce, "In Paradlsa,"
and scored a bigger hit than in either of
tho two preceding plays. There Is noth
ing dull or quiet in the play, as theater
goers will remember from Its recent pro
duction by the Frawleys. It is filled with
ludicrous scenes, some of which bear the
j'plrlt and dash of their French origin.
What Mr. Stockwell does as Pontblchot,
the wayward and ever-compromising
father, cannot be told without a portrait
of his naturally rich style of comedy.
He colors the role with the humor one of
his peculiar type only can command. In
the tempestuous climax of the second act,
where an Innocent ruse and the easily
tempted nature of Pontblchot leads to a
bewilderment of conditions at once se
verely ridiculous and uncontrollably
laughable, Mr. Stockwell does good com
edy work, without any "horse-play." And
an; wife who will listen to his suave ex
planations and witness the practical Joke
perpetrated on his wife could never be
lieve a man again.
Mr. Stockwell's production compares
most favorably with others seen in Port
land. Hi3 support shows up well, espe
cially H. Glttus Lonsdale as Raphael De
lacroix, and Lawrence Griffith as Ges
sl'.llon. Stewart Allen makes a droll, com
ical and effective Baron Flechard. Mary
Scott, the dashing Claire Taupln, does
excellent work in the second act. where
she unwittingly lends herself to a ruse. In
which she becomes quickly and surely In
volved in laughable difficulties. Her scene
with the Jealous lion-tamer. Pico (Nelson
Leavitt). affords a dash of the weird that
Is fascinating, and would be more so If
Pico threw some life Into his work.
"In Paradise" Is from the French, and
those who admire the spirit of the gay
mirror of fashion should see the play.
There is an immense lot of fun crowded
into three acts. The play will run Mon
day and Tuesday nlghta, when another
will be staged for the remainder of the
week.
THE FASTEST TIME.
The fastest time from the Pacific Coast
to Chicago is 70Vi hours. This time is made
only by the O. R. & N. Co.'s trains, the.
"Chicago-Portland Special" and the "At
lantic Express." These two trains, one
leaving In the morning and the other in
the evening, are equipped with all the
new safety devices, and are steam-heated
and gas-lighted throughout. Another
train, the "Spokane Flyer," leaving Port
land at C P. M., carries through equip
ment for the East via Spokane and the
Great Northern. This train will land you
in St. Paul in G6 hours, or hours ahead
of any other train.

PORTLAND, Or., May 20. (To the Edi
tor.) After an enjoyable laugh over the
"leader" in The Oregonlan of this morn
ing. In which a gallant friend of tho Equal
Suffrage amendment was Inadvertently
chronicled as "Mrs." by our typewriter,
who says, "If he isn't married he deserves
to be," the undersigned begs leave to
offer an apology, not to the gallant gen
tleman, for he needs none, but to the
good wife wno awaits him somewhere.
His name was offered In a committee by
a prominent suffragist, an admirer of his,
and Indorsed without a dissenting vote.
His opponents are welcome to all the capi
tal they may think they can make out o
a clerical oversight. They laugh best who
laugh last. As ours Is an equal rights
movement. In the Interest of both men
and women, and wholly non-partisan, wo
do not by any means exclude men from
our committees, any more than we would
have them exclude us from the- ballot box.

Laylns Brlclc at Car-shop.
About 35 men have been at work the
past week on the Southern Pacific ma
chine shops, laying brick for the walls.
The first brick was laid Monday, and
during the week considerable work was
accomplished on the south wall. On tho
ground floor the excavations for the en
gine stalls on the north side of the build
ing have been made; also a deep excava
tion for the transfer table for engine
drive wheels at the cast end of the floor.
The shops are so designed as to admit
eight engines from the north s'de, while
the machinery will all be placed on the
south half. The work on the walls and
the excavations go forward at the same
time. A large quantity of railway ties
has been unloaded at the north end of the
ground, so that the temporary switch
through the ground will be made perma
nent very soon.
The Two Canncrlei.
The Oregon Packing Company Is having
their big building on East Eighth and
East Yamhill streets completed. Already
the main portion has been finished and
the Interior Is being made ready for the

tlon. In the basement the main boiler and
two engines have been set up. An eleva
tor will connect all the floors. By the
end of the coming week both sections of the
old cannery building will rest on the
foundation In the rear of the new por
tion on East Ninth street, so that from
now on the work will be In fitting up the
plant preparatory to commencing opera

ready the building Is undergoing the
changes necessary and some of the ma
chlnery required has been "received. An
engine has been received and installed.
Some of the shafting for transmitting
power to the various portions of the build

BIG CROP OF WHEAT.
Washing-ton Farmers Loolc
for
Prosperous Season.
J. F. Martin, a substantial farmer of
Dayton, Wash., is spending a few days
at the Imperial. He reports a big crop
of wheat coming on in the farms tribu
tary to the Touchet, and says this will
add largely to the contents of the gran
aries, which have not been emptied since
1S37. on account of the low price. At
present wheatbuyers are placing their fig
ures at 35 cents, but wheat cannot be
raised at a profit for that price, and so
few sales are being made. The wheat
that has been kept over since 1SJ7 is still
in excellent condition, and free from
weevil, and compares favorably with that
raided last year.
The farmers had several chances to sell
for 50 cents a bushel, but preferred to
hold, and now they are sorry they did
not let go. He sold his last year's crop at
40 cents, and has no cause to regret it
He believes In disposing of his wheat on
the first good offer after threshing, as
there is always more or loss risk in keep
ing it, and the expenses of storage) and
insurance, added to loss In weight, makes
quite a considerable advance necessary
in order to Justify the delay.
Mr. Martin does not cultivate his farms
himself, but resides in Dayton, and leases
his lands out on shares. Even at the low
price prevailing for wheat during the past
three years, he realizes 10 per cent net on
the value of his property, and, as th$ soil
does not deteriorate, he considers this
showing a very good one. The value of
farm lands in Columbia County, Yfasb
Ington, he pays, is Increasing steadily,
year after year
FOND OF SOCIETY.
Story of a Drake Which Needed a
Companion.
A householder on Gllson street, who
has a beautiful flower garden, has been
greatly troubled by a pest of slugs which
destroy his pansies, etc., as fast as he
can raise them. Having learned that
ducks were death on slugs, he purchased
a fine large drake, a counterpart of tho
fowl which has rendered Nell Flaherty's
name famous In story and In song. This
fowl he turned loose In his garden, and
for several days he devoted himself inces
santly to finding and eating slugs.
Then he appeared to weary in well-do-ing,
or his digestive organs got out of or
der, and he seemed dejected and lone
some. He gave up searching for 3lugs
and endeavored to make himself sociable
and Insisted In Joining the family circle
In the evening, forcing his way Into the
house, and occasionally adding his me
lodious quack to the conversation or help
ing out the piano music when anything
was played which particularly pleased
him.
Finally he became monotonous, and as
the garden would pot furnish slugn for
two ducks, a stuffed canvasback wns pro
cured and placed In it to divert th at
tention of the living duck. He took kind
ly to this effigy, and at once undertook
to show It how to find slugs and dispose
of them; but on discovering that the taste
of the canvasback did not run to slugs,
he would take an hour or two off several
times a day and spend the time talking
to the effigy.
Like some men. nothing appeared to
please him so well as the sound oi his
own voice, and as long as he was not In
terrupted In his flow of conversation, he
did not 'seem to notice that he was doing
all the talking.
When his ideas ran out or his throat
got sore, he would gallop off and grub
slugs for a while, and then return to
chin the effigy. This has been going on
foe several days, to the great satisfac
tion of all concerned, and life Is just one
long summers day to the drake, and the
fact that the other Is only an effigy pre
vents him from talking It to death, and
thus rendering himself liable to arrest and
conviction for cruelty to animals.
