A large number of the citizens of Portland ex pect to feast on Mongolian pheasants to day "who have not so far this season tasted the flesh of this chief of the up land came birds of Oregon. That they are expecting this treat Is owing to the -forethought and Kindness ottne lezis lature of Oregon, which. In making pro "vision for protecting game, decided that Mongolian pheasants might be sold in the market during the last 15 days of the open season, a record to be kept of each -sale. This gives, the people of Portland who liave neither fowling pieces nor tne skill to shoot" pheasants, nor leisure to devote to such sport, an opportunity to secure a taste of pheasant after every Knortsman. farmer. pothunter and. poacher in the state has gorged himself. Owlnsr to this condescension, market men have been busy for some time endeavor ing to make arrangements for securing as large a number of pheasants as posslt ble to supply their patrons durine the 15-day period mentioned, which begins to day and ends December 1. The patrons of all market men have for the last day or two been flooding them with orders for pheasants by the dozen and the score, and if 'the hoped-for supplies come to hand there will be a rushing business done in pheasants In every form today. and this is likely to continue till De cember 1. or as long as the supply holds out. It is understood that the pheasant crop -has been a good one this season and that many owners of farms and shooting grounds have been keeping hunters off their places as much as pos sible In order to have a battue during the time they are allowed to sell the birds they shoot, so it Is confidently ex pected that the supply the dealers are likely to receive will be extensive enough to "go 'round." To Consider Schooi-Bond Issue. Dl rectors of the St. Johns School District will meet with the Commercial Club, of that place, this evening to discuss the question of issuing about $G000 in bonds. with which to build another four-room scboolhouse at the north end of Jersey street. At the last election the voters pronounced against issuing $10,000 to build an addition to the present building, by vote of 55 to 4fc It Is thought that the bond Issue was defeated because It was proposed to build an addition to the present building, whereas a considerable number want a schoolhouse further north and that the votes of the people In the northern part of the district defeated the $10,000 bond issue. This being the case, the directors and Commercial Club have to consider whether the people in the south end of the district may not vote against issuing bonds for a school house In the north end. That more schoolrooms is absolutely necessary is not denied, but whether to build an addi tion or put up a new schoolhouse Is the problem. To Build Lewis and Clare Observa tory. A company to be known as the L. & C O. Co." Is being organized "by A. Duchamp, an engineer, of New Orleans, La., to construct an observatory 100 feet high upon a slto near the car line upon Portland Heights. The top of this tower will have an elevation of about 800 feet above the city and will toe equipped with an electric passenger elevator of large capacity. There will also be installed a powerful telescope and searchlight. A cafe for serving light refreshments at an elevation of 50 feet above, the ground will also be a feature of the observatory. Several representative business men of this city are Identified with this enter prise, which promises to prove a valu able attraction to the thousands of visit ors who will attetnd the Fair next year. It Is the intention to construct this ob servatory jn the near future to accommo date the city people who go to the Heights for the view. Tea at Patton Hoke.

Joseph Buchtel, who has "been agitating preservation of the hone of Dr. McLoaghlln, in Oregon City, for some time, was very greatly disappointed yes terday to learn from Attorney M. X Mac Mahon that the building was belng changed for the purpose of making It a business-house of some sort. "I can scarcely believe that the people of this state will allow this historic building to be desecrated for commercial or any other purpose," declared "Mr. Buchtel, "and yet if the reports be correct, ft is being done. I am convinced that & well directed effort would save the old build ing and ground for historical purposes. We have too few of uch relics of the men who made the states of the North west, ana now to lose wis most, impor tant one is to my mind a disgrace to the State of Oregon and to Oregon City espe cially. I am aware that the ground on which the old structure stands Is valua ble, but there Is something Infinitely more valuable to the present generation to retain this relic of one of the greatest historical characters of this country."

He won his right to be listed as a Port land favorite last night in the presence of as cordial an audience as the Marquam has ever gathered to receive a new star. Mr. Whittlesey is an Alcazar graduate, who has a strong following in San Fran cisco and other California cltlea. In his time he has done all sorts of things In a theatrical way and has done some of them very well Indeed. He has trouped it through, the "black belt" In Mlasiaslnnl and he has appeared In some good metro politan pieces. He told me last night he had once played 185 one-night stands In a season, mostly In the South. Be cause he had heart enough In him to do the drudgery without whining, and be cause he stuck to It he has. at last, mounted to stellar honors and last night for the first time in this city he made his bow. The play was "Heartsease," a very sweet and artificial play which made Henry Miller famous. Mr. Whittlesey es sayed the role of Eric Temple, the com poser, and his acting of It was so fine that the audience tendered him a regular ratification. After the third act It re quired a curtain speech from the young actor to quiet the applause. The people In the support are. In most instances, equal to the requirements. Henry Lew cllyn, who has been here before, in melo drama, supplies the low comedy element as Padbury. the money-lender. In a man ner which delighted hler friends. He Is an actor of distinct merit, and Is, per haps, the best of the supporting company. Mies Lawton, the leading woman, read her lines very well and was especially ef fective in the highly emotional third act John Sampolls, Virginia Brissac and Harry Byers deserve special mention. The play Is beautifully staged, and the vocal music was well rendered. The audience was not so large as -the production de served. The engagement closes tonight with "The Second In Command." A. A. G.

It is something out of the ordinary to find ono pianlste playing so brilliantly that an entire orchestra Is suggested. This Is what happened last night at the first piano recital of the season given at Parsons' hall by Mrs. Beatrice Dierke. It Is about one year since the present writer he"ard Mrs. Dierke play In public, and during that time a transformation has taken place in Mrs. Dierke's playing. Her art has grown, her horizon has wid ened, and her touch is more authorita tive. She got a glad welcome from the large audience present, and was almost smothered with bouquets of chrysanthe mums and carnations. Edward Grieg's concerto in A minor was the opening offering-, being excellent ly playe.d on two pianos by Mr. and Mrs. DIerke. The .succeeding nine numbers were played by Mrs. DIerke and her treatment of them all was worthy of the mature and gifted artiste that she- un deniably is.

So vivid is her Interpretation that In the "Tannhauser" number. It seemed that hidden music awoke at her touch. Mrs. DIerke can be congratulated on the artistic success of her concert.
