Oregon Climate Does Him Good. City
Auditor Devlin, who on his return from
St. Louis brought his parents with him to
remain here a year at least, in hope that
the change of climate might benefit them,
Is much pleased with the results. His
father, who Is 82, but of fine physique,
and as erect and active as many men of
CO, has been troubled with some disease
of the heart for the past year or two, and
of late his conditions has at times been
considered critical. Although he has been
here only a short time, he has much Im
proved, and has not had a symptom of
heart trouble, and when he goes out walk
ing with his son, can set the pace for half
a mile and back at a rate which makes
the Auditor hustle to keep up. If this
continues, the visitor will soon be added
to the large list who believe there is no
climate like that of Oregon, and may
conclude to remain here permanently,

THE TROUBLES
OF OTHER PEOPLE
Yesterday's Police Record.
FRED DANKE, a farmer living on the
Macadam road, drove Into town for
provisions yesterday. He tied his team
on Tamhlll street, and, after an absence
of 20 minutes, returned to find he had no
rig. A search of the -city failed to reveal
any trace of it and the police had no
better success. Danke had to -walk back
to his farm.
Ah Ling, a one-eyed Chinaman, who
sells vegetables for a living, had such
good luck In selling his wares yesterday
that he replenished his supply from a
store near Third and Main streets yes
terday morning. He took four dozen tur
nips and was selling them at reduced rates
when the owner missed them and got a
budding Sherlock from the police depart
ment on Ah Ling's trail. The thieving
chink landed In jail, where he bids fair
to remain for the next sir months.
A lumber wagon attached to a pair of
scrubby-looking cayuses belonging to Ban
field & Co. indulged In a runaway .on
Main street yesterday morning. The ani
mals ran -two blocks, when they became
tired and slowed down Into the embrace
of a policeman, who held them for their
driver.
Arthur Gardner, an enterprising lad of 9
years, returned to his home at 91G Mllwau
kle street iate Monday evening with a
thrilling story of adventure. The boy was
several hours late from school, and he
explained that a huge ruffian had kid
naped him and he had only escaped af
ter being taken several miles. Believing"
the story, the parents of the boy notified
the police. Officer Isakson investigated
and reached the well-founded conclusion
that the lad concocted the wild tale In
order to avoid a switching for being out
iate.
Two boys of 17 years, who recently set
out irom Seattle to see the world, havine
found school too tame for their adventur
ous natures, have arrived In the city. Thev
registered In a dry goods box in the North
End Monday night but early yesterday
morning Officers Burke and Baty discov
ered them and prevailed upon them to ex
change their apartment for quarters In
the city Jail. The foolhardy vounesters
say they are ready to go back home as
soon as they are through serving five
aays apiece in jail for being common
vagrants.
Peter Hobart, a laborer, was fined $20
lor using lurid adjectives yesterday. Mrs.
Hobart spent the day trying to raise the
money necessary for his release. The
most she could scrape together was $11.
but the police refused to be beaten down
and the unhappy woman was forced to go
home without her husband. His sentence
will expire at the rate of $2 per day, and
Mrs. Hobart will be able to buy her hus
band back Tor 511 next Saturday at noon.

RAGE FOR DIVORCE
Edgar
E, Sutro Would Cut Wife
Off From Big Fortune.
SUIT IN COLUMBIA .COUNTY
Son of Dead Millionaire, Who Was
Formerly Mayor of San Fran
cisco, Thinks His Spouse
Has Had Her Share.
That he may be separated from his wife
before the estate of Adolph Sutro, ex
Mayor of San Francisco, is divided, so
that she will not share In the. $230,000
which will be his probable portion, Edgar
E. Sutro, of Portland, yesterday filed a
suit for divorce in the Circuit Court of
Columbia County.
It will be a race between lawyers and
legal processes. His wife, Henrietta L.
Sutro, Is expected to immediately bring
suit against him In the California courts.
Her home Is In San Francisco. The time
for advertising such a suit is GO days in
California, and but six weeks in Oregon.
If the estate Is apportioned before the
divorce decree Is granted, Mrs. Sutro will
have a right to claim a portion of her
husband s legacy. If, on the other hand.
Sutro is separated from her at that time.
her claim will be invalid.
The Sutro estate Is valued at 52,000.000.
Edgar E. Sutro, the youngest son of the
late Adolph Sutro, says that his wife has
already received enough from him; that
she has the deed to valuable property on
Battery street, San Francisco, which
brings her a good Income, and that he
does not believe her entitled to any fur
ther share in his patrimony.
The suit was filed In Columbia County
because, under the Oregon law, if the de
fendant is not a resident of the state.
such a case may be begun In any county.
John F. Logan and Martin L. Pipes, the
attorneys for The plaintiff, filed the case
at St Helens yesterday, because the
Multnomah County courts are filled with
similar suits, and rapid action was de
sired. It was while Edgar Sutro was on a
trip around the world In 1S90 that he met
his wife in Cape Town, South Africa.
She was a chance acquaintance, but mar
riage soon resulted. Since then the pair,
aged 40 and 35 years, have spent most of
their time In San Francisco. One child,
Gilbert Adolph Sutro, is now 13 years old.
Four years ago trouble developed between
Sutro and his wife, and she sued him for
maintenance. The case was finally tried
before Superior Judge Belcher. Sutro
had also put In a suit for divorce, al
leging desertion, the allegation in 'the
present instance. Both cases were thrown
out by the courts. In the suit filed yes
terday, however, Sutro alleges that his
wife deserted him In March, 1S96.
Sutro has lived In Portland for the past
three years, and has been engaged in the
confectionery business.
AT THE THEATERS
What the Press Agents Say.
POPULAR MATINEE TODAY.
Ralph Stuart, In "By Right of Sword,"
at the Marquam Grand.
This afternoon at 2:15 the clever roman
tic actor, Ralph Stuart, in whom Portland
theater-goers take especial pride, will pre
sent his highly successful romantic drama.
"By Right of Sword," as the matinee at
traction at the Marquam Grand Theater.
Mr. Stuart is not only a handsome, manly
young fellow of exactly the type that he
Impersonates, but in addition, a sterling
actor who knows how to handle heroic
situations with the lightest comedy touch
Consequently. "By Right of Sword," while
at the basis a Russian melodrama of the
most strenuous type, Is fairly punctuated
with laughs by this light-hearted young
American hero, who decline's to take any
thing too seriously,
Seal of Approval on Columbia.
Portland's theater-going public has af
fixed a great big glittering seal of ap
proval upon the Columbia Theater's mag
nificent Interpretation of Lucette ityieys
"An American Citizen." "Wherever the
atricals are discussed, this week's bill at

plimentary terms.
'And how is It done for the moneT
they ask.
It could not be done, perhaps. If crowd
ed houses were not the rule. The Colum
bia was affected little by the storm Mon
day nlKht The reason Is clear. The
stock company Is "delivering the goods"
and the auditorium . Is one In which the
patron may sit back In an easy plush
chair, surrounded by the most lavish dec
orations money can buy, and hear, when
the play Is not going on, an excellent
orchestra. These are Indisputable, Import
ant and engaging facts.
"An American Citizen" has proved by
long odds the best vehicle for the com
nany to date. Each individual member
of the cast seems to have made a new
and stronger Impression. The admirers
of Miss Countiss, and they are legion.
have found her more delightful as Be
atrice, the true-hearted English girl, than
In any of her previous roles, and the
costumes worn by her send the women
out In front Into adjectival frenzies. Max-
lne Elliott rich as was her husband's
(Goodwin) production, exhibited no richer
wardrobe.
The talent which Miss Louise Brandt
Is exhibiting is a source of gratification
to her many local friends. This is her
best part, and she is fully equal to its
requirements. It will not be more than
two years, Stage Director Bernard pre
dicts, before she Is playing "leading bus!
nessr" Miss Brandt's reading is genu
inely Impressive, so good, In fact, that
she has been selected to read the pro
logue lines of "Romeo and Juliet" which
will follow "Sowing the "Wind," next
week's bill.
Last Call at Cordray's.
The phenomenal run of "Buried at
Sea" which has been crowding Cord-ray's-

play which throbs with human inter

ment and sends the audience home with
a feeling of complete satisfaction
toward the drama and the actors. Ova

"The "Wizard of Oz," which has scored
so complete a success in New York the
past season, has been praised with un
stinted encomiums for Its spectacular
beauty. The costumes and scenery are
said to be more beautifully harmonized in
color and tone, better designed and richer
in material than any spectacular produc
tion that has ever graced the American
stage. Each succeeding scene brings out
new glories of confection, the chorus
sharing with the principals In the glory
of their raiment There are eight superb
stage pictures In "The Wizard of Oz,"
and each rivals Its predecessor In splendor
and glitter. From the first scene, showing
the Kansas farm, where there Is panto
mime alone, to the last scene showing the
palace of the sorceress In dreamland,
there is a succession of transformations
that have never been surpassed in pro
ductions of this nature. "The "Wizard of
Oz" will be presented at the Marquam

AT THE VAUDEVILLE THEATERS
Women ScrCam at the Star.
Women scream when Leora makes his
giant swing at the Star Theater. It is a
heart-jumper of an act if ever there was
one, and it makes good. In fact, the en
tire programme this week Is excellent It
is a happy combination of wit, music and
skill. Dutch "Walton Imitates a dozen
different things on the concertina, and he
does not have to explain his imitations.
Sanford and Darlington supply most of
the fun. It's good fun, too, and their act
Is exceptionally clever.
Welch at the Lyric.
One of the brightest farces seen In
Portland In many a day Is the "Flip

ager of the Columbia, and his talented
company is presenting at the Lyric this
week. You should not fail to hear
."Welch sing his original song, "The

plains the secret history ot his fight
against the theatrical syndicate. It is
proving immensely popular and Mr.
"Welch Is tendered an ovation at each
performance. Gurnsey, "Wilson and
Ryan In their original musical act, "The
College Trio In Spain," have a delight
ful turn. They sing and play their man

dash and spirit of a college glee club,

many other strong acts on this week's

BUI of All-Round Goodness.
There is a vaudeville bill of all-round
excellence at the Arcade Theater this
week, a full 10 cents' worth, a generous
measure of mirth for a dime. Huegel

Is thrilling In acrobatic work and little

OREGON WATER POWER & RAIL
WAVTO BUILD NEW SHOPS.
Will Spend $50,000 In Erecting Plant
. Which Will Be Equal to Any
In the West. x
The Oregon "Water Power & Railway
Company will spend more than $50,000
In building- new and improved" car-
shops and barns shortly after the first
of the year. The companyhas not as
yet decided where the shops will be lo
cated, but either the site of the pres
ent barns at Mllwaukle or the prop
erty owned by the company at Sell
wood will be used In making" the Im
provements. Since the Oregon water- Power &
Railway Company has built so much
new track and has extended its line? in
many directions the need for new cars
has arisen almost faster than the de
mand could be supplied. In addition to
this, much repair work I3 now neces
sary to bo done to the rolling stock of
the road.
The new shops will be built In the
most modern style and 'will be large
enough to handle all of the work of
the company with the possible excep
tion of passenger-car building, it be
ing tho policy of the company to have
its passenger cars built In the iasc
where they can be constructed more
cheaply than here.
A large freight traffic is being built
up on the Estacada line, and the com
pany has other plans In view for- the
future winch will open still other ter
ritory and make It tributary to Port
land. For this trade a large number
of freight cars will be needed and one
of the chief objects of the new shops
will be to provide for this want The

Plans have not as yet been adopted
by the management of the company but
arc being considered. Definite arrange
ments will not be made until after the
first of the year, when the business of
1904 will have been concluded, and the
plans for the coming year ready to
take up. It is decided, however, that
the shops will have to bo built and that
$50,000 or more will be expended upon
them. Future developments will also
decide whether Sellwood or Mllwaukle
will be chosen as the place for the con
struction of the new buildings. The de
cision will mean much for the locality
chosen, for tho enlarged works will
employ at least 100 more men In the
various departments.

of the use of our INHIBITORY SERUM.
This serum is harmless and non-lrritatlng.
