MARQUAM GRAND THEATER - TotJcht at
S:15 o'clock. Florence Roberta In Jlasda.
THE BAKER THEATER Tonight at 8:13,
The Starbucks."
Missed toe Ttphook- P. F. Morey and
his son Fred, who sailed from San Fran
cisco January 11, for a trip to the Society
Islands for tho heneflt of Mr. Moray's
health, returned to Portland yesterday.
They were 13 days on the tray front San
Francisco to Tahiti, one of the most
.....t..i.. Via Rndetv Islands. They
Duuwi; 1 -
spent flvo flays there, and were 12 days on
the return. Tho typhoon whlcrTdevRstat
cd the Tuaraotu Archipelago, the northern
of the Society Islands, occurred nix days
before they reached Tahiti, eo they es
caped any danger from It, hut the ship
labored in a very heavy swell for three
days, which made most of the passengers
seasick. The weather was delightfully
cool and pleasant during the entire trip.
The time passed on the Island was spent
principally In driving along tho beach and
Into the Interior of tho Island, which Is
about 35 miles long and contains about
12,000 Inhabitants, principally natives. The
horses are very small, and as there Is no
grass or hay or oats, they live on cocoa-'
nuts, bananas and bread fruit, all of
which, as well as other tropical fruits, are
plentiful and cheap. The cost of living
on the Islands Is not high, especially In
regard to clothing, as the men, who arc
tali, fine-looking and muscular follows,
wear only a singlet nnd loin cloth,
and the women a "Mother Hub
bard." They are all Indolent and lazy, but
cheerful, happy and very hospitable. They
have esthetic tastes, las they wear
wreaths around their heads and flowers
behind their left earn.
When a Man Should Br Killed. Five
of a party of six friends while taking
lunch at their club yesterday were slight
ly amused at a dilemma of the other. He
Is obliged to wear glasses, and what Is
worse, has to carry two pairs, one for
seeing things near by, and another for
seeing things at a distance. He picked up
a paper to glance over while flipping his
i.ttflftVM in nr-MfntnlK-' lpt hlq neflT-
edcht classes fall on tho carpet. lie
pushed his chair back and endeavored to
see where they had landed. Not being
able to discern them he got down on his
knees and commenced feeling around for
them. At last he put on bis long-distance
glasses and looked all about under the
table. Still ho could not discover the
miming glasses. The rest of the party
paid no attention and presently he began
to say things: short and epigrammatic but
not exactly "correct." Perspiration began
to ooze from his brow and In a moment
the glasses, on his nose slid off and fell
on top of the ralsalng ones, which had been
literally "under his nose" all the time. He
recovered both pairs and his seat with as
much composure as possible, but aa he
drained the last drop of his coffee he re
marked that It was his opinion that when
a man's eyesight failed him his friends
should kill him off. He says he Intends
to wear both his glasses on chains In the
future.
Earthworms Are Scarce. The grounds
around a cottage In Hawthorne Park were
crowded "Wednesday by scores of robins,
which, owing to the ground being frozen,
were unable to "draw" their usual ration
of earthworms. A bountiful supply of
bread crumbs was thrown out to them
and every crumb of It was picked up. Yes
terday morning another supply of crumbs
and eeeds was provided and the birds were,
on hand early to fill their little craws. So
long as the ground Is not frozen the
robins can always find a worm for dinner,
but when the ground is hard the worms
cannot be got hold of and the robins go
hungry unless some kind-hearted persons
throw out crumbs for them. There is an
old. old song one verse of which is as
follows, which It might be well it many
knew at this time, which runs thus:
"When poor robin redbreast approaches
the cot, and the Icicles hang at the door;
when the bowl smokes with something re
viving and hot, that's the time to remem
ber the poor." All who have a crumb to
share should remember the robin and the
poor, now that the days and nights are
frosty and chilly.
Artisans at Banquet. The -Supreme
Assembly of United Artisans banquetted
the subordinate assembly of the same
order at Rath & Sandys' Restaurant. 145
First street, the occasion being one of
general jollification of a membership con.
test between the two branches of the
order. The hall was prettily decorated
with the colors of the order and flowers.

Heavy Galb at Bull Run Headwords.
The gale of last Sunday night played
havoc with the telephone line to the head
works on Bull Run, as the wind was very
severe In the canyon of that river, and
broke off many large limbs and blew down
a number of trees, breaking the wire in
many places. The pipe line Inspector
went out over the line to the headworks
a day or two ago and found the line all
repaired and in working order. The line
Is very Important, as It Is constantly be
ing used to regulate the flow of water for
supplying the city. He found but little
snow in the canyons along Bull Run, but
there Is considerable along the hills on
both sides. During the month of January
there were more freshets and higher ones
in Bull Run than were ever known before
In the same space of time, owing to the
succession of chlnook winds and warm
rains, which melted the snows rapidly.
These freshets brought down great quan
tities of drift, the limbs and tops of trees
broken off by winds, and quite a number
of whole trees, some three to four feet In
diameter and 100 feet in length. Several
months ago a large landslide came down
into the river near the headworks, but
fortunately Just below the Intake of the
city water supply. The earth was washed
down the river, but several huge boulders
as big as street-cars remained, and In
these trees and drift accumulated till they
threatened to block the stream. The pipe
line inspector had the boulders drilled and
the trees sawed into pieces, and by tho
use of a lot of giant powder scattered the
boulders and sent the driftwood down the
stream, removing the whole obstruction.
Had such a landslide occurred above the
Intake, the city water might have been
discolored a little for a time.
To Start Sturoeon FirfuiKO Again.
Since tho Columbia River Is again fairly
well stocked with sturgeon, and many of
them are getting fairly sizeable, old stur
geon fishermen are coming back to live on
the river. H. Balhorn. who used to live
on the bank of tho river near Copies'
Landing about a dozen years ago. where
ho made a pot of money catching stur
geon, and whose house was washed away
by the bis flood. Is said to be coming back
to rebuild his house and re-establish his
business. He had a very soft snap In the
fishing line. He ran out a line nearly a
mile long, with hooks attached even' few
yards, the further end being anchored
fast, and the inshore end attached to a
bell at the head of his bed. Every day he
would go along In his boat, underrunnlng
his line and baiting the hooks as they
passed over the boat. He had a place for
his boat under his bedroom, and a stair
way down to IL When a sturgeon became
caught on one of his hooks during the
night, the bell by his bed rang, and he

got down in ms boat, look noio, oi nis
fishing line and pulled himself along,
hand over hand, till ho found tho stur
geon, or sometimes half a dozen and they
were bltr ones In those days. Of course.
he saw that all the hooks were rebalted.
and then rowed back to his bed. Life
went very well with him in those days,
but when the sturgeon were extermlnat!
cd. he went away down tho coast, and has
not had any easy fishing since. "Ana
that's whv I am cominc back on the Co
lumbia," said he to a reporter yesterday.
Mast Children at School. The num
ber of pupils In attendance nt the public
schools of this city "Wednesday, February
11, was 11.503. the largest number ever
registered. The number at the corre
sponding date last year was H.100, show
ing an increase for tho year of 805. Tho
maximum attendance will be reached next
week, at which time Superintendent
Rlcler has been figuring that the iz,w
mark will bo reached, and he is now con
fident that the number will bo a little be
yond 12,000. This is a considerable num
ber of children, but one who has occasion
go about the city much, and has seen
such numbers of boys chasing and pum
melling each other on the sidewalks or
playing marbles, or practicing baseball on
the streets, acting as messenger boys. etc..
can easily imagine that there might be
several thousand more in the schools to
the advantage of themselves and the
public
Bbiokt Bot tor Citt Messenger.
Mayor "Williams has appointed Birle Ben
nett as City .Hall messenger, a new po
sition on the force of employes at work In
the building. ' Though the salary of the
messenger Is only J-5 a month there were
nearly 30 applicants for the position, and
tho Mayor bad a hard time to choose
among them, for he says that all appeared
such bright-looking young men and boys
that It was difficult to select the best. The
place is a good training school for a boy,
as he becomes acquainted with prominent
men and soon has a knowledge of munic
ipal affairs as carried on In the City Hall.
Birle Bennett Is a boy about 17 years of
age, and it will be his duty to act as
messenger for all of the officials in the
aty Hall. .

owing to the emotional requirements of
the part. That an actress of tho genius
and power of Miss Roberts should give
the Portland public a gumpse of the play
Is a cause for congratulation. Magda,
driven from a come mae-bound in conven
tionalltles. because she will not marry
the man selected by her father, returns
after many years, a self-reliant woman,
"Who sinned becauso she pleased to, who
holds herself accountable to no one, and
who In the end cannot rise to the unsel
fish height of sacrificing herself In order
that her father might spend his re
maining days In happiness and honor.'
The one bright spot in her home-coming
Is her love for ner younger sister. To
her the others are people who have to be
tolerated.
Fine Scento Production.
The members of the Baker Stock Com.
pany are playing their parts this week
In plain clothes. Each member of the
company, has a character part and it Is
certainly Interesting to see with what
ease they handle the lines, speak the dia
lect and lose their Identity In general.
The story Is from the pen of Opie Read,
the noted novelist and is called "The
Starbucks." The play Is very Interesting
and tho company Is exceptionally good.
Special mention should be made of the
stage settings. Frank King, the scenic
artist for the Baker Theater, deserves
great credit for his meritorious painting.
The panorama seen in the third act Is
truly a work of art The immense stretch
of canvas with the mountains and valley
In tho distance and the river coursing
down the valley witn tne rail fence
around the Starbuck farm, the log house
in which the Starbuck family Hvc3. forms
a stage picture that playgoers will long
remember.
Snlc for Jnmen nnd Wnrde.
The advance sale of seats will begin
this morning at 10 o'clock for the return
engagement of Louis James and Frederick
Warde at the Marquam Grand on Monday
night and Tuesday matinee. Messrs.
Wagenhals-nnd Kemper have decided to
revive "Francesca da Rimini." George H.
Bokcr's version. This step was taken on
account of the great demand to see Mr.
James In his wonderful character crea
tion of Pepe, the Jertcr. Mr. Warde will
be seen to great advantage as I-ancIotto.
and his reading of the noetic lines Is a
continual charm.
The tragedy of "Francesca da Rimini"
is sublime, and this generation cannot
hope for a better rendition of the master
piece than that offered by Louis James
and Frederick Warde.
The supporting company will comprise
Norman Hackett as Paolo, Wadsworth
Harris as Malatesta. MiS3 Aprie James as
RItta and the scenic Investiture of the
production will bo elaborate and appropri
ate. For Tuesday night "The Tempest" will
be the offering, due to the requests of
many patrons who were unable to see It
last October.
To I't eut Comedy Sncrcas.
Commencing with the usual Sunday
matinee. Manager Baker will offer for
one week, to the patrons of his popu
lar playhouse. William Gillette's ccmcdy
success, "All the Comforts of Home."
"All the Comforts of Home" is an un
usually funny play and one wonders how
on earth such things ere ever straightened
out The plot hinges on a young man
who Is left at homo without any money,
while the family goes on a Journey. Ho
bits upon the scheme of renting the
rooms. He places an advertisement In
the dally papers which-results In his rent
ing them all. The eccentricities of his
roomers and the unexpected return of the
family furnishes enough complications to
keep the young man busy during the en
tire action of the comedy to straighten
matters out and well furnishes an even
ing of genuine pleasure for the theater
going public.
"All the Comforts of Home" has never
failed to please the most critical, as It Ls
a well-constructed comedy, full of bright
wit and humor, and It Is predicted that
It will do even a greater business than
"Charley's Aunt" which had a phenome
nal patronage two weeks ago.
