The Canadian Society of Portland will prob ably be organized at a meeting' to be held In he small hall, second floor. Young Men's Christian Association building, Tuesday evening, at 8:15 o'clock. For ome time past Canadians resident in thla city have talked over the proposal to es tablish a Canadian society here, at least to last during the continuance of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Some think that a permanent organization without clubrooms ought to be formed, an hold meetings about once every year. There are supposed to be aboujt 2000 Canadians and their descendants living In Portland, and many of them hold responsible busi ness positions. It has been suggested that membership shBll be as follows: All men and women born in Canada: men and women who have married Canadians, and those who have resided two years in Can ada. There will be a Canadian day at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and it is considered that a Canadian organiza tion ought to be formed to take care of social features on that occasion, and at other times as shall be deemed proper. There will not be any benevolent features in the proposed society. The society will have neither political nor religious sig nificance. All men and women interested are cordially invited to attend the meet ing. Was a Califounia Pioneer.

During the past month 309 Japanese have left Portland for Kobe IHlh the In tention of enlisting in the Japanese army. In the last -week eight have secured tick ets for the next sailing date of the Min nesota, and will leave for the defense of their Fatherland. Each ticket coststhe passenger $45, which amount comes from his own pocket. aB the government allows nothing for transportation. As far as can be learned, there is noth ing compulsory about the return of those Japanese who are now In the United States, but there seems to be a growing loyalty on the part of the transplanted subjects of the Mikado, which draws them to the front even when they have to pay their own expenses in getting there. Inquiries being received dally at the of fices of the transportation companies lead to the belief that the next few months will sec a large exodus of the Japanese now in Portland and the state. Requests are being sent in asking for information as to the sailing dates, cost of trans portation and length of voyage. Most of the tickets already sold were the results of former Inquiries which tends to show that many more warriors will cross tho Pacific during the next few weeks or months. No tickets have as yet been sold to any subjects of the Russian Empire who are desirous of seeking the battlefield and the support of the flag under which tbey for merly lived. "IL TE0YAT0BE" COMING.

A repetition of triumphs aqd pro gramme was the recital of Madams Jo hanna Gadski last night in the White Temple, under the direction of Miss Lois Steors. Nearly a month ago, or to be exact, December 19. Madame Gadskl sang at the! Marquam Grand Theater and was a pronounced success, making so many friends on that occasion that a return en gagement was asked for. As a result the White Temple was comfortably filled last night by an audience decidedly friendly to the visiting prima donna. Madame Gadskl was suffering from a slight cold, and this was all the more noticeable when one critically listened to her head notes. But she is too true and consum mate an artiste to falter, and she came out of the ordeal with flying colors. Her repetitions were: Franz' "Au Melnen Grossen Schmerzen." Schubert's "Erlkonlg." Taubert's "Two Kinder Lleder." Strauss "Caclle." Wagner's "IWch Theure," 'HaIle" and 'Brunhilde's AMUSEMENTS "The Second la Command." .

The piece was seen nerc last Autumn, when it was presented by the same cast, and the good Impression made then by Mr. Whittlesey and his associates was more forcibly accen tuated last evening. There are all sorts of good things in the play, and If there are any faults, they do not ob trude. The performance of It was even ly good and interest compelling. The star "has a role admirably fitted to him and that he enjoys it is evi denced by ,the finished portrayal he gives. Miss Lawton, who is, by the way, one of the most beautiful women that ever graced the Marquam stage, practically dlvides the honors with Mr. Whittle sey, and John Salnpolls, as the fortu nate brother officer of unlucky "Kit Bingham," acts the part splendidly. The remaining members of the com pany hare little opportunity to shine but improve what occasion they find. The largest audience of the engage ment saw the ploy and was most cor dial. A. A. G. ARGUMENT FROM THE "OUTSKIRTS." PORTLAND, Jan. JS. (To the Editor.) Will The Oregonlan kindly allow me space for a few lines on a subject dlroctly opposed' to Itt tiers The amending of the city charter so as to allow the city to authorize, a 2-tnlIl tax to pay for the construction of a bridge or bridges costing over $30,000 each. I consider the proposition not only absolute ly "fair." but strictlr right and just. Ti true the central parts of the city have raad all their improvements at their own expense, but it must be borne In mind that the central cart of the city was comparatively level, with no deep gulches or expensive bridges to build. "People who bought property beyond -"the gulches" did not bur there because It was cheap, but because the old central part of the city no longer afforded room for them, and tier were obliged to go farther away whore there were deep gulches to And places for homes and business. "When the lota on which the building of The Oregonlan stands were first roid, they brought tar leas per lot than any lot or lots In tha vicinity of the bridges In controversy. po Ibly excepting a very few lots In the bottom cl jctne drp gulch. Besides the people, in these outskirts" havo Improved their streets "at their own expense" as well as the central parts of the city have Improved theirs, excepting perhaps a few streets In the best business part of the city. I know a whole block: in the central part that once sold for S30Q.1 or $37.50 per lot. which is now woitb S-'OO.OOO without the buildings. 1 know corner lot in the business part of the city which a washerwoman had to take In tli payment of a wathblll of $50. It is now a fortune. The Oregonlan says "people who have bought property beyond the gulches because tt was cheap may wish doubtless for the; own convenience and profit to tax others Mho have no share in the benefits." This Is as abeurd as It is unjust. Even day The Oregonlan sends its army of carriers out over all those distant streets with its papers for those people who pay The Ore gonlan a handsome profit therefor. Every day the people from those distant localities have to go to The Oregonlan oOce to in sert and pay for advertisements from which it makes Its living. The central parts of the city have and make marc use of the streets in tho4 dis tant parts of the city than the residents thereof do. Look at the vast army 'of wagens from the central part? of the city that every day Invade thoee distant parts beyond the gulches, laden with goods, wares and merchandise of every description and sort, sold to the people living la those distant parts, on which great profits are made, and from which those merchants make their living. Does Portland expect to be a great city by confining herself to the old flat, on which aha once existed? "Well, then, those great gulches are a misfortune, and cause extraordinary ex rrnse. a part of which should be borne by thote living In the central part, and who mats their living off those distant and surrounding parts. One of the great roads tapping one of tha largest agricultural districts of the country, from which comes a great portion of the food and fuel supply for the central part of the city must use these bridges. Does the rich old central part expect the distant Rafts or outskirts of the city to build tbotc bridges, costing over $00,000 each, over which to bring In food and fuel to fill their stomachs and warm their bodies? New, in all fairness, arc net those brldgts of more advantage to the business part than to any other rortlon of the city? "All roads lead to. Rome." There would have been so Rome without road. Rome had to build them. P. TV. GILLETTE. Tho central part of the city was not a plain. It was seamed everywhere with ravines and ridges, most of which have Cry," and Kevin's "Nightingale Song." Again was in evidence that fervent dra matic art, finesse and purity of tono which always marks her work. Madame Gadskl began her programme very quiet ly, and in the classical lleder she more than pleased by the romance she wove into -Mozart s "Schlafc Meln Prfnzchen.' She used the half voice vory Judiciously in "Lncntcriiebe," and sang it so exquisitely and with such repressed tone that the selection had to be repeated. Fire and decision were Infused Into Schubert's "Erlkonlg," and this was the first of her big numbers. This called forth the Nevin encore, and the next throe succeeding offerings were quiet and polished In effect. Bohn's "Still Wic DIo N'acht" Is known to most vocal students, and an author! tative rendering was looked for. Madame. Gadskl sang at a slower tempo than was anticipated. From a popular point of view the star numbers were Taubcrt's two children's songs. "Slumber Song"' and "Soldier's Song." In tho latter selection the singer gave free rem to her sense of humor. and was rewarded with a tempestuous re call. The closing Wagner numbers, al though heavy, wcro sung with undlmln ished spirit- Only In the last offering of au did uaasKt ascend to supreme nights of vocallsm, in "Erunhilde's Cry." This was given after singing a concert pro gramme, but Gadskl threw her soul into her work and finished with a brilliant high C in alticstmo. For the moment It seemed that she changed the concert plat form Into a stage where the opera was being performed. She gave her fare well bow, tho recipient of every mark of favor a pleased audience could bestow. The accompanist of the evening was H. Selmar Meyrowitx and his work was excellent.

People were not obliged to go away from the central parts of the city because there wasn't room There was room and Is room. Half a million people live in no greater space in Boston, and In more cleanliness and comfort. People went out beyond the gulches because lots were cheap and they wished to escape rents that have to be paid inside, where valuations and taxes arc high. They should now make their own roadways, cut down their ridges, make fills or bridge their gulches. Don't worry about "The Oregonlan's army of carriers." It will send them out and they will "get there." They always did. "The central part of the city will use these bridges more than the outskirts, for the purpose of sand ing out goods." Not so, but if so, for whose convenience? For the con venience chiefly of those who want the goods, we presume. "All roads led to Borne, but there would have been no Rome without roads, so Rome had to build them." Rome had enforced labor. Portland hasn't. Insistence on taxation of the "old dlstrlet" for improvement of property elsewhere Is a grass wrong. Improvements in special locali ties ehould be made by district. It Is the only fair way. Valuo of property In the "old city" is usually much exaggerated, but such value as property has In the old city Is due to Improvements that individual owners in the old city and all of them together have paid for. On many of these Improvements there, has been heavy loss. The Oregonlan building, referred to above, may possibly bo worth one-half what It cost, but hard ly; certainly not more It would not be a "payer," even at one-half that valuation. Rents In the "old city" are too low and taxes are too high to permit profits to owners. Xow It Is proposed to make dis tant improvements at their expense. SNAKE-DANCE TONIGHT.

She MUSIC LESSORS Often Bring on Nervous Troubles if the Food Is Not Right. It is curious how the study of music and piano practice bring3 on so many cases of nervous prostration. One would think that an art so divine would protect its votaries. Sometimes the food is at fault. The daughter of a minister in Albany. Wis., when in the midst of her studies in music, found herself run down and ap proaching nervous prostration. "She lost flesh rapidly, appetite disap peared, and that distressing sign of ap proaching sickness lassitude and weari ness was with her steadily." The minister her father had her put on Grape-Nuts and she began an Im provement Immediately. He says: "Scores of mornings she ate nothing but Grape Nuts and cream for breakfast, and Im proved so rapidly that It was a surpriso to the family. Now she Is in fine condi tion, has continued her studies, walks four times a day to school three-quarters of a mile each way and is a fine speci men of health and strength." The minister 3peaks of another young girl S years old who suffered terribly from chronic Indigestion, and was unable to attend school, a weak, puny little girl who could not cat any sort of food with out distress. Upon the suggestion of tho minister she was put on Grape-Nuts food and a change began to tako place within a day or two. She 13 now a healthy, natural girl. There's a reason. Every little particle of Grape-Nuts, when examined by a mag- iiuuis giazs piio.vs on me outsiae small particles of sugar. This Is not ordinary sugar, but Is a peculiar kind resulting from the change of starch Into sugar, which exudes from the particles during the process of manufacture. This Is called Post Sugar and Is ready for digestion and assimilation without in anv wav tnxlnir L the organs of the body. mar. is one reason wny urape-.Nuts will rebuild a person quickly. There is an other and even more important reason. The food contains certain elements se lected from wheat and barley intended by Nature to ix used In rebuilding the soft gray filling in the nerve centers and brain. These elements arf phosphate of potash and albumen which combine in tho human body to make the soft gray matter referred to. When the brain and nerves axe proper ly fed the whole machinery of the body moves along with strength and precision. Name given by Posrum Co, Battle Creek. Mich.
