Injuries received by the wires during the

Telegraph Co.'s line near the military

sesph Buchtel dragged an aged woman
from the front end of an approaching
express-car at the intersection of Union
avenue and East Burnslde street, so
quickly that she thought she was being
kidnaped. The act of necessity was not
gently performed, and at first the woman
was inclined to resent what she consid
ered uncalled-for rough treatment, but she
was finally made to understand that Mr.
Buchtel had only saved her from possible
serious Injury.

neral of Leslie Reynolds, who died at St.

George Ade, deservlngly lucky dog, wrote
'The County Chairman" from first-hand
Information. He was born and lived his
youth In an Indiana hamlet called Kent-
land, and there, among the folk he knows
best, he laid his play. The home of Jim
Hackler. Lucy Rlgby and Sassafras, was
Antloch. but It might just as well have
been Lecompton or Sllverton, for It Is the
typical country town of the North and
West as It was in the early '80s.
The types are real, not burlesques as In
the case of almost all our rural dramas,
and when they walk upon the stage they
step out of the cherished past of all of us
who are country-bred. They awaken such
memories that, while we laugh with them
and at them, there is almost a heartache
In the recollection wh'ich comes to us of
the old days when we were 20-odd years
nearer Lincoln than we arc now and all
things were so much better.
Jim Hackler, bless his old slouch hat.
was setting up the pins In the county con
vention when Blaine and Conkling and
Tllden were the popular Idols and Gro
ver Cleveland was still Sheriff of Buffalo.
He was not altogether good and lovely,
but if any one dares call him bad he can
get a fight in front -of Vance JImmlson's
store at Antloch or Lecompton or Sll
verton any old time, to this day. Then
there was Miss Watklns, the flirtatious
little milliner whose weakness was "trav
eling gentlemen," and Uncle Eck, the
oldest Inhabitant. There was Briscoe, who
was too lazy to split wood, but could talk
politics from a drygoods box all day.
There was also his strong-minded wife,
who had to "keep boarders" because her
husband was a politician. There was the
fly drummer and the colored person called
Sassafras. There was Lucy and the young
aspirant for her heart and the county
office. How all the world must have loved
fthcm. There was her mother and alas,
uisu uer luiiier.
These people and all the others In the
play came backto us through the vista
of years as from a long journey, last
night at the Marquam, when George
Ade's play, which deserves to become a
classic, was given Its first Portland pre
sentation. Sift the plays of the past two
decades, and you will find among the
chaff that "The County Chairman" Is
one of the few grains of real wheat. It
Is so good, so true and so helpful with Its
clear atmosphere. Its gentle, kindly satire
and Its deft touches of pathos, so sweet
with the lavender Incense of the chest
6T memories that the pity Is all of Port
land could not have seen it last night.
The company is as fine a one as you
could wish for. Theodore Roberts, whose
Canby in "Arizona" will never be for
gotten. Is playing Hackler with this
company and his audiences must want
to climb upon the stage en masse to
grasp his hand and tell him they're for
hlnv 'The part simply cannot be done
more nearly to the life. One of the best
of modern minstrels. George Thatcher, Is
cast as Sassafras, the negro with a vote
to sell, and hts selection was an Inspira
tion. The darky of his would pass mus
ter for the genuine article In any country
community. Lenaide Williams convinced
everybody that she was not "assuming"
the role of the milliner. She was the lit
tie milliner In every particular, and Will
Phillips made a most excellent fresh
drummer. Florence Smythe was a charm
ingly natural Lucy, and William Lamp
was happily at home In the part of the
ambitious young lawyer. Mr. Lamp will.
be remembered as a former Portland stock
favorite for his work as the Baker juve
nile two seasons ago: There Is scarcely
a weak spot In the cast, even to the least
of the supers, of whom there were many
If you will hunt up a copy of the "De
lineator' for January, 1S82, you will see
that the ladles' dresses were stylish for
the period, as styjes go In Antloch. The
stage settings arc on an ample scale and
the old-fashioned incidental music, the
"martial band," the campaign paraders.
and in fact every detail was exact.
I must repeat that it's a pity all the peo
ple of this town can't see the play, which
will be repeated tomorrow night and at
a Saturday matinee. It s a pity you can't
all go back to Grlgsby's Station or Antl
och, or wherever it may be and see "The
County Chairman" and our other old-time
friends. Those of you who can, should
visit with them awhile and when they
all go down tc the 11:15 train to see you
off you will feel glad and grateful to
George Ade and the splendid actors In
the company for having carried you back
to days and scenes which you loved but
which like the old, best things are gone
save in the lavender-scented memory-box
which "The County Chairman" opens for
a little while. A. A. G.

W. J. Furnish Doesn't Doubt Roose
velt's Majority In Umatilla.
W. J. Furnish,, of Pendleton, one" of the
leading Republicans and business men of
Umatilla County, is at the Imperial for a
short visit in the city.
Mr. Furnish, while he will not attempt
to quote ngures, is confident that his
county will cast an overwhelming vote
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks on Tuesday
next.
"It is so quiet in Umatilla County," said
Mr. Furnish, "that It Is hard to tell what
vote will be brought out, but I think I am
safe in saying that Roosevelt's majority
will he a large one. Many of the old
time Democrats of the county are going
tb support the Republican ticket, rather
than vote for Parker, whose policy they
do not like.
"The prohibition question will be close.
Pendleton will vote against closing the
saloons, but many of the little towns will
give snug majorities for the Prohibition
ists. The result is in doubt, however, as
the whole county will have a say In Its
settlement, the election being called for
the countv and not for a nart of It."
Mr. Furnish will return to 'his home In
time to register his vote for the Republi
can ticket.

OREGONIAN BUILDING
ASSESS AT FULL VALUE
NEW LAW PROPOSED BY BOARD
OF TRADE FOR OREGON.
Assessment for State Tax to Be Made
by State Independent of Counties,
and Levy, to Be Reduced.
The Portland Board of Trade believes
in divorce in so far as the question ap
plies to the separation of the state from
the county "revenue.
At a meeting of the executive committee
of the board held last night It was de
cided that the legislative committee draft
a bill for submission at the coming ses
sion of the Legislature which should pro
vide for the equal and uniform valuation
of the land and property of the state
by a state and not a county official.
The board takes exception to the pres
ent high rates of levy In Multnomah
County and would like to see it lower.
It considers that the present system of
County Assessors and individual assess
ment, as well as the method of levying
the state tax, not conducive to the best
Interests of the state at large.
The bill to be drawn up will provide
for a State Assessor, whose duty It shall
be to oversee the assessment of all the
property In the state. This official will
place the valuation as near the market
quotations as possible,, and upon his as
sessment the state will base the state
levy, each county to pay In proportion to
Its share of -the total property of the
state. In this manner the state tax
would be levied entirely separate from
the county tax and there would be no
reason or chance for the different As
sessors to put down the assessment and
thus raise the levy, to the detriment of
the' county.
The county assessment would be In the
hands of the county officers, who could
adopt the state assessment or not, at
their option.
The legislative committee' ot the board
will take the measure up at once and will
have a draft completed and" revised for
the opening of the January session.

gation Convention In El Paso, November
