To Rbpair" GnAXD Avenue. H. H.
Xewhall, W. B. Hall ana J. H. Baylor, a
committee appointed at the mass meeting
Tuesday evening to devise a plan or the
repairs of Grand avenue between East
Stark and Oak, have begun Investigating
the conditions. It is proposed to get all
the property-owners directly Interested to
sign an agreement to pay one-half the
cost of repairs, provided the city pays the
remainder. W. L. Boise, of the Executive
Board, gave assurance at the meeting
Tuesday that the city nould pay half. The
nrnnltt.ee will get an estimate of the
cost of e new elevated roadway from
City Engineer Wanzer and a list of the
property-owners from City Auditor Dev
lin. It will be the only chance the property-owners
will have to get the roadway
i-pbuilt for a nominal sum. City Engineer
TVanzer says the roadway must be en
tirely rebuilt, as the present one Is de
cayed and dangerous. All must sign an
agreement to pay half the cost, or the
movement will fall through. If one prop-city-owner
does not sign up it will be
enough to prevent the repairs being made
under the arrangement proposed.
"Parsifal" in Pictures. At a private
exhibition given at the ilarquam last
night "Parsifal" was produced In moving
pictures under the direction of J. Alex
Hanna, using an especially constructed
Edison projectoscope. So much has been
said of Wagner's great musical drama
that its presentation here, even through
the medium of pictures, was extremely In
teresting, and the Invited few who wit
nessed last night's exhibition enjoyed It to
the fullest extent. Arrangements are be
in perfected through which Mr. Hanna
will shortly give a public exhibition and
lectures demonstrating the remarkable
iwwer of the latest and most talked about
religious opera.

LACROSSE PLAYERS IN FORM
Team Wili Show Big Improvement
Over That of Last Year.
Portland lncrosse players are now get
ting down to hard work and are rapidly
getting themselves into "shape for the
year's play. The team this year will
show a vast improvement over that of
lsst season, since It will be strengthened
by the addition of several of the best
players in the country. No schedule has
as yet been made up, but the first game
will probably be played in May either
with Seattle or Tacoma as an opponent
The Portland men are looking forward
to the big tournament to be held here
under the auspices ot the Exposition on
September 22, 23 and 24. This meet will
be open to all comers and the best teams
in the United States and Canada are ex
pected to be in attendance. July 10 will
also be another big day, when the North
west championship will be played for at
the Fair.
California is going into lacrosse strong
ly this year and the papers are talking
of a tri-state league, including Oregon.
California and Washington. Speaking
of this the Chronicle Bays:
H. E. Kennedy, manager of the Seattle
Lacrosse Club, ono of the greatest en
thusiasts of Canada's national game on
this side of the line, sees in the near fu
ture a chance for a tri-state league, in
cluding Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia. Up North the game has taken
hold this year as never before, and, after
a season of play in the British Colum
bia Leaguo with the Canadians, Kennedy
thinks there should be no trouble next
year in arranging tri-state contests.
This would be the very thing, but it
would have to be, as has been suggested
in the Chronicle, not a league with the
idea of weekly or ovon monthly matches,
but one in which three Interstate matches
will be brought off each season in Cali
fornia, Washington and Oregon, the win
ner to challenge the winner of the Brit
ish Columbia League."
While Washington and California are
in favor of a. league, Oregon as repre
sented by the Portland Club stands aloof
and prefers to be Independent. In the
minds of the local men there Is nothing
to be gained by a league at this time,
since the game is still too new to attract
people. The main argument against a
league seems to be that of expense, since
It is thought that not enough can be
made to pay the visiting team's expenses.
Portland had this experience last year,
and it is extremely doubtful if she can
be Induced to eater into any league this
season.

There were a few days a couple of
weeks ago when it rained hard in the
valleys and snowed as hard in all the
mountains of Oregon. Here it meant
a little disagreeable weather, but it
was blood and life to Eastern Oregon.
Now, with the mountains full of snow,
the people there see prosperity ahead.
"The Blue Mountains were almost
bare of snow before this March storm,"
said Dr. J. R. N. Boll, of Baker City,
yesterday. "But now In places there Is
as high as five feet of snow and good
crops and plenty of water for mining
and irrigation are assured. It is sel
dom that a Winter passes leaving so
little snow in the mountains as this
year, and for a. time it looked as if
we would be decidedly short, but those
few days of storm saved us.
"Baker City," continued the doctor,
"Is going to have the finest educational
exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Fair.
We believe there that wo have one of
the best school systems in the coun--try,
and the display of the "work dono
will be a thing to go and see. There
is nothing behind the times about Ba
ker City, and our particular pride is
the public school system."
A traveling agent for an asbestos
house registered at the Portland yes
terday and N. K. Clarke, the clerk,
in designating -his room and sample
room, asked him which house he was
traveling for. Learning it, Clarke told
him of a man who came to a California
hotel in which he "was clerk several
years ago and presented a draft on
the same house for a goodly amount,
which the hotel cheerfully paid. He
had a full set of samples and took in
the whole town soiling them. There
was not a plumber in the town who
did not malte more or less extensive
orders and were Induced by one means
or another to part with some money.
After the man' had worked the town
he packed his samples and left. By
and by the checks came back from the
East dishonored, and then they learned
that the man was a fraud, although
his equipment was all right. He was
heard of again in several towns, and
the house drafts he presented in each
case were such, businesslike looking
pieces of paper that the hotels were
regularly stuck.
The asbestos drummer at the Port
land may have intended to present a
house draft himself, but he did not do
it after that.
Dutch Harbor, Alaska, Is generally con
ceded to be one of the jumplng-off places
of the earth. It is only 800 miles from
Nome, and It might seem that it would be
frozen tight all Winter. But according to
B. Nethotrland, the agent of the North
American Commercial Company there, 20
above zero is ordinary Winter weather,
and even the inland lakes are not always
covered with Ice.
"Steamers bound for Japan very often
stop in and coal up," he remarked in con
versation at the Imperial last night. "It
is directly In the course of such steamers
taking the Northern route, and all the
big liners pass in sight of the southern
portion of tho little Island upon which It
Is situated. Theso do not ordinarily stop,
but it would -not be out of their way to
do so. It is almost due west of Sitka and
lies In the belt warmed by the Japan
current. Many places hundreds of miles
nearer the equator have a far worse cli
mate, though few can equal it for nasty
weather, when It once turns that way."

AT FEET OF SMITH
He (s Implored to Become a
Candidate,
GIVES HIS ANSWER TODAY
Republican Club and Young Men's
Organization Beseech- Him to
Step Into Political Arena and
Lead Them to Victory.
Yearning for some new candidate for
Mayor, big chiefs of the Republican Club
and the Young Men's Republican Club
have cast at the feet of Dr. Andrew C.
Smith offerings from their tribes and
have called on him to lead them to battle.
This they did last Saturday and yester
day, and the doctor promised to make
response today, so that at the meeting of
the Republican Cliib tonight a leader may
be chosen, either himself or some one
else.
According to the prophecy of Dr.
Smith's closest friends his answer In all
probability will be "no." but the captains
of the two clubs are hopeful that he will
accept their offer. They admit that the
doctor has been averse to entering the
battle and that he has said he would not,
but insists that they have detected a wil
lingness on his part to yield to their
petition.
Each club has a committee of ten mem
bers in the field in search of a candidate.
The two committees put thoir gray mat
ter together last Friday night and unani
mously agreed that Dr. Smith was their
man, and appointed a subcommittee to
gq unto him for audience. The audience
was secured, and the doctor promised to
take the matter under advisement until
this afternoon.
Tho committees are not wholly satisfied
with any of the candidates who have thus
far sallied into the arena, and fear that
the one of them who should bo nominated
would be slaughtered on election day;
therefore they -wish to nominato some
one not yet proclaimed.
The subcommittee named by them last
Friday Is made up of Thomas Hislop, F.
E. Beach, D. J. Qulmby, N. R. Bird and
H. L. Nevelle. The two committees of
ten are as follows:
Republican Club Dr. N. R. Cor, G. W.
Hoyt, D. J." Qulmby. W. S. Dunlway, F.
E. Beach. N. R. Bird, W. P. Keadr,
Thomas HIslop, H. L. Nevcllo and W. J.

Rrcston, A. W. Allen. C. E. Lockwood, C'
M. Idleman. W. M. Cake, B. F Jones, H.
C. Smith, F. S. Bennett, J. P. Kavanaugh
and N. D. Beutgen.
The confreres did not make a second
choice after Dr. A. C. Smith, but ellgl
bles spoken of in their discussions were
W. M. Cake and Tyler Woodward.
New Deatists Buck.
The New Deal executive committee last
week refused to make affinity with the
two clubs cither for appointment of a
conference committee or for indorsement
of any candidates for nomination. A mo
tion to refrain- from any Indorsements
carried with a big whoop In the New Deal
quarters. Leaders of the New Deal after
ward explained that the executive com
mittee had no power to make any in
dorsements, because such functions had
not been conferred on tho committee by
the "parent body." But sachems of tho
two clubs say that the executive commit
tee and the "parent" are much one and
the same; therefore, that the distinction
is one without a difference.
And the open-town element is restive,
too. Yesterday more than 100 of Its mem
bers assembled at Second and Yamhill
streets and bolted the door behind them.
When the door opened they confessed that
they had appointed a committee of five to
wait on Dr. Harry Lane, In order to make
terms 'for the election. The session lasted
two hours, and the dangers of the situa
tion as threatened by the closed town
were discussed thoroughly. The gentle
men were all satisfied with the policies of
Mayor Williams, and, if he should can
tinue them, were in favor of his re-election.
They doubted not that he would win
the Republican nomination, and do so eas
ily, but they feared such a wide scatter
ing of the Republican vote in the elec
tion, between Williams and the closed
town independent candidate, either Albee
or Howell and Merrill, that Lane, whom
they believed would be the Democratic
nominee, would be elected. Therefore
they thought it wise to see Dr. Lane and
ascertain if they could make arrange
ments with him.
WORK TOR AID TO SHIPPING
New League Aims at Subsidy op Any
Favorable Legislation
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, April 9. Convinced that Congress,
as at present constituted, has no inten
tion of passing a ship subsidy bill, or any
other measure of similar purport, certain
shipping and business Interests have un
dertaken the organization of an "Ameri
can Maritime League" for the purpose of
bringing pressure to bear on Congress in
behalf of some sort of "legislation that will
"aid in rehabilitating the American mer
chant marine." This league, with head
quarters in Washington, will be In tho
hands of ex-Senator John M. Thurston,
its president. It is a nonpartisan body.
numbering prominent men of both parties
among its members.
The league is not organized to urge the
passage of any particular bill or type of
bill; it merely wants legislation that will
tend to upbuild American shipping. It
will take a straight subsidy bill; It will
take tho Gallinger "subvention" bill; it
will be content with a system of dlscrlmi
nating duties, or in fact any other kind
of legislation that Congress will pass.
President Roosevelt has accepted hono
rary membership; ex-Secretary Root, Sec
retary Paul Morton, Attornoy-General
Moody, Secretary Taft and other proml
nent men are members.
The prime object of the league is to
create sufficient public sentiment In favor
of shipping legislation to compel Congress
to act. It Is believed that but for the
fear of suffering personal defeat, many
members of Congress now opposed to a
subsidy bill would support such a meas
ure. The league hopes to assure timid
members that a subsidy scheme Is popu
lar, and It Is preparing to resort to ex
travagant means to accomplish this end

The reorganized Columbia company
opened a supplementary season yesterday
afternoon, presenting a typical English
melodrama.
Donald Bowles, who succeeds Howard
Gould as leading man. Is cast as a plain
young mechanic, at whom everybody else
in the niece takes a trv at victimizing.
The sight of him in working clothes rock
ing a cradle ana singing a lullaby is a
distinct shock to his matinee girl admir
ers, but he bears up under the require
ments very successfully and his singing
Is one of the features of the performance.
Miss Countlra Is een onnnsltn Mr.
Bowles as the unfortunate young wife.
fane adjusts herself to the role with that
case -which Ionar a so marked hnr . a. re
markably versatile actress, and the
strong emouonai work done by her and
Mr. Bowles at tho close of the second
act has seldom been excelled by either
of them.
William Dills is particularly at home in
the eccentric comedy part of tho dissolute
old father, William Bernard and George
Sloomqucst wear frock coats and the
man-about-town air in the most approved
fashion. Blanche Dousrlas has n. most Im
portant part In the character of a wicked
lemaie villain. The othor members of
the cast have rather unimportant as
signments In which they givo good ac
count of themselves.
It Is melodrama undisguised, but the
finesse of the players lifts It above the
ordinary "thriller" and it becomes at
their hands a rfupldprtlv hltrh-clnw nr-
talnment of Its kind. The stage is well
set and realism is carried to the point ot
frying bacon and eggs on the stage.
Both performances yesterday were well
attended and the company starts Its sea
son under favorable surroundings.
"Woman Against Woman" will continue
through the week. A. A. G.

edy written by Charles Edward Stuart
Coemo Gordon Lennox, London club and
society man, and husband of Marie Tem
pest, who played Kitty in London and
New York. Subjoined is a contemporary's
criticism of the play:
"It was an entirely enjoyable perform
ance of a clever play. Notably strong was
tho scene where Max Figman brought out
the delicacy and subtlety of the author's
witty epigrammatic lines when he visited
Kitty in her villa at Lake Geneva. It
was- an artistic and humorous perform
ance." Seats are now selling.
At the Columbia.
The Columbia was dark all last week,
but tonight and- all this week, with Sat
urday matinee, the new Columbia Stock
Company will give a strong production of

frisky Mr. Jones," who is no relation

Can a jailbird reform and should he

question asked and answered in the fa
vorite, wholesome English melodrama,
"The Ticket of Leave Man," with which
the new Empire Stock Company made its
opening bow yesterday afternoon and
evening at that place of amusement. The
attendance was large.
The performance, excellent staging and
attention to detail were admirable, and
the offering Js worth more than the price
charged, 10 cents. The company la a ca
pable one and will no doubt have its share
of public patronage. The venture Is am
bitious, but Manager George L. Baker
