Not Particular About the Honestt.
7-An old-time citizen .who arrived home
a few daye ago after several years' ab
sence from Portland, met at the depot
an acquaintance whom he remembered
as always having been "willing to make
an honest dollar." "Well, John," he
asked, "are you still rustling after that
honest dollar?" "Yes," was the reply,
"but, confidentially, between you and
me, my principal object these days Is to
'get hold of the dollar. I am not so par
ticular as I used to be and If I can get
the dollar I am satisfied to take the
chances as to whether the man I got It
from came by It honestly or not."

Shall Freight Cars Operate on Ore

OREGON CITyT" Oct. 5. (Special.)
The people of this city are In the midst
of a red hot discussion as towhether or
not a franchise granting permislon to the
Oregon Water Power & Railway Com
pany to operate freight and express
trains on Main street should be "given by
the council, which holds an adjourned reg
ular session tomorrow night to consider
tne matter. At prseent the situation has
resolve'd Itself Into one where the ma
jority of the uroDertv owners of the
improved portion of Main street object
to tne granting of a franchise and the
merchants"' and large manufacturing In
dustries are with the railway company.
When the proposed ordinance was first
presented to the council last month It
was referred to a committee of the whole
headed by Mayor Dlmick and their report
will be given to the council tomorrow
night. The ordinance as amended gives
the company the right to operate a single
or double track railway on Main street,
and upon Third street from the right of
way of the Oregon & California Ballroad
Company to the Willamette River, with
the privilege of operating freight and ex
press cars over these streets. No freight
or express matter shall be discharged on
Main street except at a depot which must
be provided by the company, but it may
be discharged On Third street west of
Main street. The company is limited as
to its running time -of freight cars, the
ordinance providing that only one round
trip of not exceeding three attached cars
shall be run between 7 A. M. and 12 M of
each day; only one round trip of not ex
ceeding three attached cars between 12
M. and 7 P. M. Eetween 9 P. M. and
7 A. M. cars may be run as often as the
business of the company may require.
The license Is fixed as follows: First five
years, $300 per 3earj second five years,
$400? thlrH flv vnmrKm. tny Vio .Amrt.
Ing ten years of the life of the franchise.
$600 per, year. This IS a brief summary
of the Important provisions of the ordin
ance which Is creating so much discus
sion. It Is Interesting at. this time to pub
lish the names of the property owners
who object to the- granting of the fran
chise and who have signed a remon
strance which states that the railway
company now Iras a- freight franchise
and it Is abusing Its privilege to the detri
ment of tthe property owners. The re
monstrance Is couched In strong language
land goes on to say:
The roost of us have been property-owners
on Main street for many, years, and have paid
our taxes and have been assessed for street
improvements so that we might have one 6treet
In the city on which business might be done, j
We feel lhat some consideration is due us In !
the matter, and the bne business street which
has cost us so much to build should not be
given to any railway company to run freight
trains over, to the damage and destruction of
our business interests. We have no hesitancy
in saying that the granting of a franchise by
wnicn ireignt trains will be allowed to run
over Main street will seriously Injure busi
ness on the street. We further feel that we
who have invested our money la property on
Main street and have tried to build up the
business interests of the city are entitled to
more consideration han any railway company.
whose only Interest in the matter is to get what
it can out or the city, regardless of any in
Jury it may cause to property-owners or busi
ness.

In addition to the objections stilted In
the remonstrance its signers are of the
opinion tnat the amount fixed for com
pensation after five years Is lnadeauntR.
They argue that If the amount of license
is iert undetermined the rallwav com
pany will be more likely to comply with
tne requirements of the ordinance. Each
saioon in Oregon City pays $100 per year
aiiu me piupeny owners tninK tnat a
large corporation should pay more for
such a privilege as this franchise bestows
tnan a saloon.
The Oregon Water Power & Railway
Company now has two suits pending In
the courts. A temporary injunction re
straining the city officials from Interfer
ing wiui tne road In any way was ob
tained in the county court and this was
modified by the Circuit Court but not
dissolved. The Adams case, upon which
rests the question whether the franchise
heretofore granted to the company Is
valid, is in. the stages of appeal. Thla
franchise is held void by Judge McBrlde
on the ground that It was passed at an
adjourned meeting of the regular meeting
at which it was Introduced, contrary to
the provisions of the charter. It is said
that Fred S. Morris, who controls the
Oregon Water Power & Railway Com
pany, will readily agree to a dismissal
of these cases if the council will give his
road a new franchise. The remonstrators
take the position that he should have the
case dismissed before asking for addi
tional privileges.
The petition to the council askin gfor
the passage of the franchise ordinance
Is brief and In substance states that the
petitioners be'Jeve that It would be bene
ficial to the Interests ojt the city for the
company to be given a franchise under
which freight and express matter may be

Those who saw "The District Attorney"
at the Baker Theater yesterday witnessed
a first-rate play, competently acted in
every particular.' In some ways the per
formance waa notable. Mr. Bernard's
work In the role of Matthew Bralnard,
the gray-haired villain, was so very clever
as 4o waken admiration, and Mr. Russell
found the ideal of dramatic art for the
space that It took him to pronounce two
short lines.
The story Is of a District Attorney elect
ed by politicians to ao their will. He at
tempts to make good his promises to the
public of a clean administration, and in
that attempt he convicts his wife's father
of fraud and of willfully permitting an In
nocent man to spend 15 years in prison
to shield his own guilty head.
Melodramatic as is the plot, It loses all
the outward marks of the melodrama
from the careful, quiet setUngT Special
pains have evidently been taken to avoid
suggestion of consequences and to em
phasize tho passion of the moment in its
relation to other passions, not to the final
event.
Mr. Wyngate fairly loses himself in a
manful role, and from first to last does
excellently. Miss Countlsa has an ardu
ous part, and, while she stumbles .occa
sionally, she does not miss the road very
much. ' Probably the fourth act showed
her at her best and worst Miss Esmond
Is a very simple and effective Helen
Knight, and her dress Is a marvel of
suggestion of the poor and honest girl.
with a little comedy and a little cari
cature, Mr. Mower did capitally in his
presentation. of General RUggles, the edi
tor of the reform paper. Mr. Dill was
so good in Vernon Holt that his excellent
acting as Corrigan was somewhat of a
disappointment. Mr. Slddle. who also
played two parts, was consistently fair,
though a stiffness natural to him ham
pers the full effect of his lines. As Mc
Grath, Mr. Morris was sufficiently trucu
lent and Nlnth-Ward-like to give him a
share of the hisses accorded the villain.
Madge Bralnard, as depicted by Miss
Rhoads, won more hearts than the one
assigned her in the play. Miss Rhoads
is a fickle person, who Is most charming
when the least Is expected of her.

In spite of some terrific scenes, there Is
little la "Down Mobile," now at Cordray s
theater, to endanger the health of those
suffering from cardiac weakness. " Mr.
Carter, the author. Is to be congratulated
upon the sobriety, calmness and simplic
ity of his plot. The incidents Include
Ehootlngs. perjuries, blasphemies, ravish
lngs, hideous Intrigues and a brilliant case
(fully proven) of arson. Yet the most
delicate individual could find no fault
with the atmosphere of Sabbath stillness
mat Drooas over the whole performance.
The acting is quite up to the standard
set by the lines and situations and the
only possible criticism would turn on the
almost successful attempt ,of Will Wolfe
and Emille Leeslng to create a stir. They
have both been infected with tho Idea of
trying to make their roles distinctive,- al
though Mr. Wolfe In his presentation of
Dick Fox was pretty fair.
The women in the cast were somewhat
superior to the men, probably due to their
undeniable personal charms. Miss Shirley
must ne very young in stage experience,
and some of the things she has not for
gotten add greatly to the attractiveness
pf her work. Mother Gubarre was suf
ficiently horrible as the Voodoo, and
Aunt Sue was sufficiently boisterous as
an old mammy.
The most prominent character In the
play, and one that ought to raise the hair
on the head of Innocence. Is Jim Blackford
alias Harry Edkerly. There Is only ono
way to keep Irredeemable villainy from
Decoming a oore, and that is originality.
But the playwright filled his mouth with
tne ancient cries for blood, gave him
nothing to do but Infamy, endowed him
with the talents of a cigar store loafer,
and Mr. Synds, in a reprehensible endeav
or to compass the author's purpose, outdid
all that Imagination could picture and the
final impression was most nnhannv
Snaggs, the detective, in the hands of
Joseph Mills lost none of his infantile
shrewdness. Colonel Harner. the real tvoa
of the Southern gentleman according to
nis own lines, was as genial and as Jovial
a tippler as fancy might picture. His
son, Charles Harper, nlnyed bv oivde
Hens, was a very good descendant of his
sire.
Scenlcally, ths play is very good in
deed, especially where the mill burns
down. Such realism Is not often to be
seen on the stage, and many drew a long
cream wnen the curtain went down on
tho flaming edifice. But -even the height
of stage effect cannot disturb the gentje
piacuuae of "Down Mobile," and thus
the gore that might be unendurable Is but
a sunset glow, a rainbow tint after an
unseen storm.
Special attention is given by the man
agement to tne orchestra, and the1 music
yesterday was excellent.

"Buy the beer the night before." sue

that their business waa such that they
worked until an early hour in tho morning,
and thut they had been accustomed to get
c lunch, washed down with beer, on their
way home. On the other hand, many men
admitted that they were, glad that the law
closing all-night saloons was to- be en
forced, as they can get all the beer they
want by midnight. Women generally
were glad that the all-night saloons were
closed,, as they can now expect their male
relatives home earlier in the evening.
xOne saloon-keeper said: "A liquor man
I know was arrested by the police Sun

ho was serving meals to . customers in
his restaurant, adjoining his saloon."
"But was not beer served with these
meals?"
"No, sir. No liquor of any kind. The
people who were eating were respectable
people, and they were much embarrassed
when the police came In. The order tp
close the all-night saloons Is going to
hurt trade."
"I will lose money If the order to close
my all-night saloon Is made permanent,"
said a Whltechapel saloon boss. "I did a

What Is the City of Portland to do for

ATTACKS OLD CHURCHES.
Teacher of Dovrlelsm Holds Forth
In Portland.
The Christian Catholic Church In ZIon,
better known as the Dowleltes, held serv
iqes yesterday afternoon In their hall,
at Grand and Hawthorne avenues. The
church has no ordained' pastor, but the
leader of the meeting, C. H. Merryman,
delivered a sermon attacking the ortho
dox denominations and explaining the
workings of Dowleisra.
"Too little credit Is glyen to the Bible,"
he said, "In the newspapers and else
where. I often eee quotations In our pa
pers from the Bible, but the writer almost
invariably falls to give credit to the
source of his thought." In speaking of
the Roman Catholic Church, he said that
that church was the mother of all the
denominations, and that It had a far more
effectual hold on the hearts of the people
than any of the Protestant churches.
"We are too apt to speak of everything
and everybody as being 'all right.' It ia
an expression which we hear constantly.
The people to whom this Is applied are
more likely to be all wrong than 'all
right.' In the same way many doctrines
are said to be 'all right.' When we were
'kids' we were always told that when we
died we should go to hell. God Is every
where, watching over both the Just and
the unjust, and He will not allow His
people to suffer In siich a way.
"That miserable denomination to which
I once belonged, the United Brethren, is
trying to Induce other struRgllnsr church-
es to Join It, but they have not yet be
come united Jhemselvea "
In speaking of the crusade against vice
now going on In the city, he said:
"Thla fight agalnsfgambllng is .nothing
but blow and bluster; In fact, it is nothing
but a little preachers' row. Chaplain
Gilbert, who went with the soldiers to
the Philippines and actually fought
against the natives, now pretends to be
teaching the people the Word of God."
The speaker told of the seriousness of
taking the oath of Dcrwielsm. "Whon
you take the oath." he said, "the church
henceforth becomes the main nronosltlon
in your life. Family ties must be subor
dinated. You must remeniber that the
Christian Catholic Church In Zion is a.
very different proposition from that little
ousnwnacKing mission, the t. John'3
holiness outfit, and, once taken up, it be
comes the leader of one's life."
NATIONAL G. A. R. CAMP.
Washington Is Rendy to Entertain
Throngr Bigger Than Ever.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 5.-,Th scfh "Mo
tional encampment of the o a t? win

ings or tne various organizations- affi
liated with the main bodv will rnntinno
until next Sunday. Preparations for the
gathering are complete and Washington
Is ready to entertain the throng, which

izoa. ureat crowds of visitors have been

said that the number of persons eomlntr
to the encampment is greater than ever
Deiore was brought to the city. Early
last night It began to rain and this fore
noon it poured in torrents, later giving
way to a slow drizzle. Probably fair
weamer is preaictea by the weather bur
eau for tomorrow. The business hottsM
and private residences along Pennsylvan
ia avenue and other main thoroughfares
of the city have been appropriately dec
orated for the encampment season. The
display of flags and bunting la very
generous.

ing a number of receptions will be held.
un rnursday, Friday and- Saturday will
occur the meetings of the National en
campment and the various auxlliarv

A fitting preliminary to the gatherings
of the veterans at Camp Roosevelt during
encampment week was the holding of a
religious service this afternoon and to
night In Grant tent The rain interfered
with the attendance, yet many veterans
were present. Tonight the exercises were
under direction of tho Young Men's
Christian Association.

President Can't Review Parade.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. President
Roosevelt will not review the parade of
tne li. A. K., 'for which it was exoected
he would occupy the reviewing stand in
front of the White House. The official
statement Issued last nijrht that he would
have to exercise extreme care indicated
tnat It would be impossiblo for him to
review the vpterans, and the direct state
ment that he will not do so was made
on official authority today. The President
has not yet been able to rest his foot on
tne lloor. and his nnvslcians have forhH-
den him overtaxing his strength a3 he has
done in the past.
GAMBLER'S VIEW OF CASE
Has Family to Snnnnrf nr,,i lino
Keep Up Business.
"I have a wife and two children to
support," said a well-known gambler
who has been in business here many
years yesterday, "and I have got to do
something as long as ,1 stay here." He
went on to'say that the authorlUes coa
plalned that suppression of. irambllncr dio
not suppress it, which was true, as there
were more gamblers who, like hlmeeir,
had families to suDoort and' thev wer
obliged to keep doing business.
He was surprised, he said, to think that
the scheme of fining gamblers has been

rejected by the authorities, as It had been
tried here and found to be tne only practi
cable method of regulating gambling, and
one that yielded a revenue for the public
benefit.
This gambler apparently knows of
no way of supporting his family except
by gambling, and therefore tninks it nec
essary that he should continue to ao
business, instead of allowing his business
to be suppressed.
