At Mount Tabor, Including Montavilla, the demand for an ample supply of water from same sobrce la so great that it can not be Ignored much longer. This demand has taken the form of a movement for incorporation on th3 West Side. The Mount Tabor Improvement Association has agitated . the water question for over a year, and has made some progress, as the company has installed a larger pump at Paradise Springs, but the supply will have to be many times greater if the people are to keep the lawns and flower gardens fresh and green. For the past two seasons irrigation of lawns has been forbidden. The same conditions exist In Montavilla. With the large growth at Mount Tabor the coming year, it Is feared that the shortage of water will be greater than heretofore So far the committee of the Push Club has not received much en couragement from the Portland Water Committee, in Its request for Bull Run wator. Tha object sought to be gained by incorporation Is the laying of ample wa ter mains on the west side of the slope, and then making connection with the high service of the Portland water system. It is considered certain that this is the only tource of permanent relief from water fhortage. as Paradise Springs do not sup ply enough to meet the increase. Preparing Circular Letter. The committee appointed by the evangelical Association Information Bureau for the Fair Is gathering material for the circu lar letter it will send out to members of tJie association In the East. Rev. N. Shupp and Rev. P. J. Green are on the committee to prepare the circular. It will contain f raeng other Items information of the re source? of Oregon, and tell how to get there, and on the back of the folder will be printed a map of Oregon, on which will be marked the Evangelical churches and the towns in which the association has churches. This is done so that when members receive the letter they will know just where they can settle and be near a church of their own choice. While giv ing out information of the country, the bureau will keep in mind the strengthen ing of Its held in the state. Many thou sands of the circulars will be printed, and will take the place of private letters in answc to inquiries that are pouring in. Church Officers Elected.

The Portland Gas Company offered to lav mains in a certain district if enough signatures to a promise to take gas were obtained. The petition Is in the hands of a. committee of the Push Clpb, and property-owners are signing up steadily. The gas mains will also likely be extended to Montavilla. Two Statues Consecrated.

Crowds After Christmas Trees. Those who Indulge In a later nap than usual on Sunday morning were surprised when they turned out yesterday morn ing to see the sun peeping through a rift In the clouds and striving to dissipate the mist and fog which lay along the lower levels, and also to see a steady stream of people making their way to ward the hills back of the city, or re turning from them, carrying Christmas trees and other greenery for Christmas decorations. There were scores of people of all ages on foot, in buggies, some in spring wagons, evidently going for a whole wagonload, all armed with axes, hatchets, pruning shears or knives, and all looking happy in the sunshine and hopeful of securing what they wanted. Many of those returning complained of the long distance they had been obliged to travel to find just the size of tree they wanted, as they said the hills were full of people, cutting and slashing right and left, and every tree of the size they want ed had been carried away. As for Oregon grape ferns and pretty cedar boughs, they wero only to be found at long dis tances from the city. One party was met who were bound for the brow of the hill down near St. Johns, where they had been told there was still an abundance of Oregon grape to be found, and a party of little tots of girls, headed by a 6-year-old boy, carrying an ax which he could hardly swing, was on 4ts way toward Robinson's Hill, which, however green It may look at a distance, was denuded of about everything suitable for Christmas decorations years ago. None, however, need despair, as there will be hundreds of farmers and boys peddling Christmas trees and greenery about town all this week, and tired housewives, busied In making preparations for the Christmas dinner, will be driven to distraction by answering the frequent calls to the door made by them and people wanting to sell all sorts of tickets, or asking for all sorts of contributions to all sorts of charities. Such is life in a Christian town at this season. To Honor the Clarkia. Steps are being taken to have added to the floral decorations of the Lewis and Clark Fair grounds, beds of a beautiful native flower which is peculiar to Oregonatid re gion In the same latitude extending east to the Rocky Mountains. It grows In abundance in Eastern Oregon and the foothills along Uhe O. R. & N. Railroad are. In the proper season, covered for miles with a pink or flame-colored glow from the masses of Its flowers. There is nothing majestic or wonderful about It; It is simply a pretty pink wild flower growing to a height of two feet or there abouts, which attracts attention wherever it blooms. The chief Interest connected with it, and what gives it a right to be used in ornamenting the grounds of the Lewis and Clark Fair, is that its name Is Clarkia, and it was named in honor of Captain William Clark, who noticed it on his memorable trip across the conti nent 100 years ago, and called the atten tion of botanists to it. This is a suffi cient reason for giving it a prominent place on the Fair grounds, and will doubt less lead to Its being introduced In many gardens. There are several species of the Clarkia growing to different heights, but all having pretty and attractive flowers, and if It were only larger and more showy, it is not improbable that, In honor to Captain Clark, it might be made the state flower of Oregon, as the Oregon grape, however beautiful it may be in the way of foliage, produces a flower which gives it but little right to the position of state flower In a state having such an abundant and beautiful flora as Oregon. The matter is in competent hands, and will be properly looked after. Bustling Christmas Business. Never before In the history of Portland has there been such a holiday business known as has kept dealers In all sorts of Christ mas goods and their employes busy all day long, and often far into the night, all this month. From the lavish preparations being made by market men to supply" the Christmas tables of their patrons, they evidently expect to do as flourishing a business In their line as the toy men, jewelers, dry goods men and others have been doing. Of turkeys and poultry of all kinds, It is said there will be no lack, although the market was pretty well stripped at Thanksgiving. Dealers who sold 4090 turkeys at that time expect to be called on for more now, and they have been using every endeavor to get their ceding rooms filled chock full, in prep aration, and have been taking orders for a week or more in advance. As to meats of all kinds, there will be a lavish supply, some of the beeves having been specially prepared and fattened. For fruits, vege tables, etc. every region within reach has been levied on, and the displays made by market men astonish strangers who have not been used to such lavish preparations for Christmas. Civil Service Examinations. The "United States Civil Service Commission announces that on January IS, examina tions for the Panama Canal service will be held in this city as follows: Assistant civil engineer, bookkeeper, chain man, clerk, helper, hospital interne.

HELD UP AND BOBBED. Visitor From Polk County Relieved of His Money. E. Hill, from Pork Counts, was held up and robbed of 550 on the corner of Sev enth and Ankeny streets at 8:45 last even ing. The money was In currency, two $20 bills and one $10 bill. The corner was not dark, and Hill had a good chance to see his assailant. He would -have no trouble recognizing him, however, as he had seen him a number of times before during the day, and gave the police a very accurate description. The man Hill describes is about 23 years old. weighs ISO pounds and stands five feet ten inches. He wore on the occasion of the robbery a soft hat, a light over coat and a dark suit of clothes. He is of fair complexion, and is smooth-shaven. The police believe that Hill was seen flashing considerable money about In the North End, and was followed. NEW YEARS' EVE BALL.

Olympe ..Marlon Barhjtc Nlchette Louise Brandt Nanlne Roy Bernard Camille Cathrine Countiss The Columbia Company playing "Ca mllle," yesterday opened another week most auspiciously. Both matinee and night performances w,ere largely at tended, the audiences evidencing their approval of the production In unstint ed applause. Probably every actress who essays serious roles has an ambi tion to Impersonate the Lady of the Cam el las. "Camille" is a woman's play in more senses than one and Miss Countiss, being distinctly feminine, is fortunately well qualified to gratify her aspiration. She played the heart breaking role with positive genius last night. It Is one of the most diffi cult of the many emotional heroines and none but a superior actress can hope to make the play Impressive. Upon the shoulders of the leading woman rests the whole wolght of the drama. While Armartd Is a person of Importance to the plot, Camille has the largest part in all the many great sit uations. Miss Countiss rose to the occasion splendidly. Her conception of the part appeals especially to an Intellectual audience. Her Camille is a woman of refinement which, in spite of what she really was. Is not IncompatabLe. From the very beginning, also. Miss Coun tiss makes the ultimate fate of Camille Inevitable. Even when she is happiest the minor chord of sorrow Is never missing and she had half the women in the audience in tears during the entire performance. There are only two people In "Ca mille" who matter much. The other one, of course, is Armand, and at the hands of Mr. Baume, the man In the case fares well. In the great scenes he rises to the full height of his splen did power. As the Count, who is first and last a very bad lot, William Bernard dis plays his best ability in the handling of heavy parts. His repressed force Is carried throughout in an admirable manner. Laurette Allen gives Madame Prudence an excellent reading. Her de lightful comedy relieves the almost universal woe of the play according to the best acting traditions of the part. Donald Bowles, William Dills, Scott Seaton, Louise Brandt, Marion Barhyte and Roy Bernard are each de serving of great praise for their work in the lesser parts. "Camille" seems to be on at the Co lumbia for a successful week's run from both the artistic and financial standpoint. A. A. G. HCTTTRES FOR 1905.

Little 'Minnie Cano There was a genuine theatrical ba gain at the Empire yesterday in "Sho Acres" at popular prices. Some plays are so close to the ground, they appeal so strongly to the heart and are so faithful to the best Instincts that they never grow old. "Shore Acres" Is one such and the lamented James A. Heme did a great thing for the American stage when he wrote It. He Increased the debt of gratitude we owe him by acting dear old Uncle Nathaniel for a number of the latter years of his life. While his peculiar place has not been filled, his widow is doing her best to see that his memory and his play shall be kept green. The company which Mrs. Herne sent to Portland yesterday is a fine one. It is seldom, indeed, that we see a better one In rural drama. She has adhered carefully to the equipment used In the original ppcjiuctioiK forSRhJch. she de serves additlonltFTnanks. The real tur key Christmas dinner looks just as ap petizing as only a bountiful country meal can and the lightnouse scene re tains all its effectiveness. James T. Galloway, who appears In Mr. Heme's old part, follows the former closely In his treatment of It. He is not a mere imitator, however; he has a personality that is lovable and I know of no one "better fitted to succeed the author as Nathaniel Berry. Atkins Lawrence plays the hard old Martin to the life and In point of make up and Interpretation of the character he is as good as any man who has ever undertaken it. James Burrows, who plays Blake, the money-lender, this year is also a fine actor of old men characters.

All society, as well as the local musi cal world. Is on the qui vive to hear the greatest soprano of the age, who Is booked to appear tonight at the Marquam. under the direction of Lois Steers. Excitement runs high concerning the question wheth er Gadskl really outrivals Nordlca In her special field of Wagnerian opera. Some of the big arias that have made both Gadskl and Nordlca famous will be heard by Portland concert-goers tonight, so that everybody will be able to settle this vexed question for himself. Comment Is rife as to the personal charm of this great prima donna, for those who are fa miliar with her stage presence, maintain that this alone has great drawing power. To the great majority, however, the wonderful volume, richness of tone, and sweetness of her remarkable voice, will be the chief attraction. Fire In a Bad Place. CHICAGO. Dec 18.
