St. Johns Is Improving Streets. Rog
ers &. "Wlndle have started on the Im
provement of Jersey street In St. Johns.
It Is the beginning of extensive work
along this line. This Improvement will
cost S7500. The other streets to be Im
proved at once are Burlington and Phila
delphia, which will cost probably $10,000
more. This year the property owners of
St. Johns will pay out about $25,000 for
Improvement of streets In the main por
tion of the city. So far there Is no op
position to the improvement -of these
streets on the part of property owners,
who realize that to have a city they must
have woll-paved streets, no matter what
the cost. St. Johns' new charter contains
the bonding act for streets, the same as
the Portland charter.

Was it a hit? Was it? Well, all
the people who could crowd into the
Marquam seemed to, agTee that It cer
tainly was. "It" was the opening per
formance of Kolb and DHL the logical
successors of Weber and Field, and
their merry company In a tumultuous
musical skit called "L O. U.M
Southern California and San Fran
cisco have been laughing at the humor
of these two Dutch comedians for sev
eral years, but never heretofore nave
they appeared here. Now that they
have come, however, they can stay Just
as long; as they like and then come
again. They are iar and away the best
exponents of their particular brand of
comedy now doing the joint star act.
barring- possibly the Itodgers Brothers
and even there one might find generous
room for an arjruroent.
They come here with a big company,
equal in size and ability to most of
the musical comedy organizations we
have bad this year. The chorus is es
pecially attractive, being- In the mass
young; good-looking and graceful. The
girls, alsp, sing up to tho musical show
average and wear pretty, fresh-looking
costumes.
The first curtain had barely risen on
the stage full of them until the audi
ence was completely won and the way
paved for the principals, who Justified
all the hope Inspired by the dandy
chorus.
Along with a group of Interesting
comedians the plans and specifications
for a musical burlesque call for a prima
donna who can warble soprano, and a
tenor who Is at least passing fair with
his top register notes.
Both these participated in last night's
performance to everybody's satisfac
tion. Edith M3son, who has the role
of "Ann." foster daughter to a circus
proprietor, possesses a very sweet and
sympathetic volco which argues for J
self careful cultivation and intelligent
handling. Thomas H. Persse, as the
circus man. strangely enough, does the
sentimental Btunt with Miss Mason.
A. decided novelty, when one always
anticipates a young; naval lieutenant,
lie's gotten up as 5S and engrossed in
his daughter. They make a splendid
go of it, however, and their duets.
"Dreaming" and "Iove a la Mode."
Miss Mason's "Kate Carey," and Mr.
Persse's "Ringmaster's Song" contribute
real music to the nonsense show.
You know, of course, we never ex
pect anything which savors of plot or
purpose In a burlesque; 'Twere impos-.
stble. When we go to see it we want
something light, frothy, more or less
idiotic but funny, with music as a
garnish.
We got just that kind of a show in "L
O. U." The Marquam management could
not have selected a better Summertime
attraction than Kolb and Dill for a four
weeks' engagement.
But to get back to our mutton. There
are othr rattling good people In the com
pany besides those named. There is Ben
Dillon, who plays O'Rourke. the buffer,
between the attenuated and the obese
stars. He Is a comedian of excellent abil
ity, who spares us the Infliction of making
his Irishman a monkey. Will Cross, as
the walking delegate, makes an effec
tively humorous character out of his labor
agitator. Two original numbers which
add much to the success of the piece arc
the New Zealand Pol Dance and "My
Maori Maid." as done by Charlotte VIdot,
with the assistance of the chorus.
Miss VIdot was suffering with tonsi
litls last night and hoc singing suffered
slightly in consequence.
About Kolb and Dill, again, they are
funny enough singly or as a team to
break up a drunkard campmceting. No
use asking why you laugh at them or
trying to repeat tholr jokes. No; for the
sake of your friends don't undertake to
tell the jokes you hear in "I. O. U." They
are sorrowful things without "Ony" and
"Iny."
The skit as nearly as it can be analyzed
is a travesty on labor unions and trusts.
It Is full of Ideas that are clever and
pertinent.
It Is in three acts, begins at S:55 and
Is over by 1L The best popular price at
traction the Marquam ever offered.
EmpivOTment Blanks for Children.
The new employment Wanks and certifi
cates required by the child labor law may
be obtained from the secretary at the
Juvenile courtroom In Judge Fraxer's
chambers at the Courthouse entrance on
Fifth street, from 12 to 1 P. M. Under the
new law children under 14 and over 12
years of age may obtain permits for em
ployment during vacation, but children
over 11 and under 16 years of age re
quire an age and schooling certificate. In
cither case the child making application
must be accompanied by a parent or
guardian, who can certify as to the child's
age. and must bring with him the em
ployment ticket signed by the employer.
The law places the power to issue the
age and schooling certificates in the bands
of the City Superintendent of Schools,
but during vacation this authority has
been delegated to the secretary of . the
commission. Millie R, Trumbull. The pen
alty for violation of any of the provisions
of the law applies to both parent and
employer. The law forbids all work for
children under 16 years of age after 6
o'clock at night.

No. "Nerves" isn't a melodrama; it Isn't '
a dramatization of the Dare and Do
series; it's a comedy of the-short-times- ,
between-laughs type. The rain last night !
didn't keep the friends of the stock com
pany at the Belaseo from seeing the per
formance. True, the fundamentals of the Intricate
plot have been seen before, but in
"Nerves'" there are new complications and
some good lines. It Is another wife whose
half-whispered suspicion of an Innocent
husband is magnified Into a falnting-spell
shriek by the suggestion of her mother,
who "wouldn't interfere for worlds." Of
course, at the end of the third act it all
comes right. Lucia Moore is the foolish
young wife the author was thinking of.
Eleanor Gordon as Madame Zephyr is a
coquettish young widow with a rapid-fire
tongue and extraordinary facial muscles.
Virginia Brissac was recognized despite
her grotesque make-up as the maid. Like
the others, she also had "nerves," twitch
ing ones.
Clarence Montalne as the French con
fectioner who has to stand for most of
the abuse of the Injured husbands, real
and imaginary, seems to fit Into the char
acter part. The "candy march" of his j
four rosy-cheeked candysellers had to be
repoatod. Eugene Ormonde, the real hus
band who comes close to having real trou
ble. Is certainly a most purblind young
Britisher, big voice and all. The scene
showlLg-the shop of the erratic French
man Is well worked up.
"Serves" will hold the stage for the
fifth week of the" stock company.
: PENNY GIVES GJTY NAME
i
i
COIX FLIPPED TO DECIDE FOR
PORTLAND OX EXHIBITION.
Original Piece or Money Which De
termined Agninst Boston Is
Here In Town.
The penny that named the City of Port
land Is in town and en exhibition at the
cigar counter In the Oregon Hotel. It Is
the property of Frank W. Pettygrove, of
Seattle, district manager for the J. A.
Folgcr Company, and the story of how
it named Portland follows:
In 1M, Mr. Pettygroves father took
unto himself a wife, and started on a
honeymoon Journey to Oregon, going In a
sailing vessel around Cape Horn. He
brought a cargo of goods with him, in
tending to open up a store upon his ar
rival. One Interesting feature, and one
that shows how little Eastern people
knew of the West at that time, la that
Mr. Pettygrove. Sr., brought with him a
large quantity of red paint, expeoting to
sell It to the Indians to paint their faces.
The bark Teuton, upon which the Jour
ney was made, was a slow craft, and put
in at Honolulu, a part of her cargo being
for that DOrt. This maHo th Imirnv n.
roost a year and a half In longth, and be-
iviv me ucsunHiton was reaenca, tne first
child was born to the Pettygroves.
When Pettygrove reached the mouth
of the Columbia River there was no pilot.
The ship was sailed over the bar, after
soundings had been made, and continued
on up the river to where Portland now
stands, the original destination of the
party being Oregon City. Opposite what
Is now Portland the skipper lound It Im
possible to proceed further, owing to low
water. Pettygrove conceived the Idea of
building a city at the head of navigation.
He broached the subject to A. L. Lovejoy,
a member of the party from Massachu
setts. From John Overton they purchased
a claim where the business section of
Portland now stands. The claim was
purchased for f&J. It Is now worth
thousands of times that sum.
Here a city was laid out. In the woods.
The time for naming it arrived. Lovejoy
desired to name It Boston, after the most
Important city In his state. Pettygrove
wanted to name it Portland, after the
most important city in Maine, his native
state. They agreed to toss a penny, heads
to mean Boston, talis to mean Portland,
the best two la three to be the choice.
Pettygrove won the first toss; Lovejoy
won the second, and the third proved to
be tails, and Portland It was.
The younger Pettygrove still has the
Identical penny, and would not take any
amount of money for IL His father kept
It for a pocket-piece, and It has been
handed down to the son. who bears his
father's name. It Is dated If, and Is one
of those large, colas in vogue at that time,
about the size of the quarter of the pres
ent day.

GOES TO LA FAYETTE.
A Fine Chlckcrlng Concert Grand
Piano for the Opcra-llousc.
Mr. R. Brlgham, a prominent capital
ist of Yamhill County, who has been
"doing the Fair" the past week, took
advantage of ' his opportunity to can
vass the piano field Irr Portland with the
object of securing a piano for the La.
Fayette Opera-House. The result was
the selection of a very handsome Chicker
Ing Concert Grand piano at' Eilers Piano
House. The handsome Instrument Is
cased In rosewood and beautifully carved.
Possessing this instrument, the La
Fayette Opera-House can now accom
modate the most celebrated and exact
ing musical artists. For over eighty
three years Chickering pianos have fig
ured conspicuously In the leading musical
events of the world. It Is the ptano of
which the great composer Liszt said. "It
Is perfect, superlatively perfect." Dur
ing the past Winter, on the numerous
occasions that tho most famous mu
sicians of the present day appeared be
fore Portland audiences, the Chickering
was almost without exception the piano
chosen to be used. It is also the piano
which Mrs. Beatrice Dierke. Oregon's
greatest and favorite pianist, uses and
enthusiastically Indorses.
Mr. Brlgham's selection of this lovely
instrument will doubtless be applauded
by the many patrons of the La Fayette
Theater.
Gumption Versus Gambling.
PORTLAND. Or.. June 28. ITo the Bilter.)
In rour editorial et the Stnh Ibsl. regardtsr
the Fries, report, you express a doubt of
whether the annual dividend ytem la the
only correct method under which laauraaee
should be written. I bee te quete A. J.
FlltcrafC editor of the Life Insurance Cos
rant, who eaya: "Looking backward ever SO
years of American life Insurance record, the
fact stands out prominently that the m pan
ics which hare distributed anneal shares of
surplus (or divWendi) te their peHeyheMere.
have furnished the cheapest life Insurance."
I also quote from Hen. W. A. Frteke. ex
Life Iittur&are Cemmlssiener et Wiaceasin.
as follows: "AH that is vicious In the con
duct of the buslnese et life Insurance, ex
travagant competition, exeesoive expense,
etc. 1 chargeable te the deferred dividend
contracts. All that Is seed equity, eeenemy.
actual cost Is due te the annual dividend ac
counting te peMcyhelders." -
It la well known that MasAachuietts has the
most perfect Ineurance laws of any of the
slates, an all cempanlee chartered In that
state must dlfCrtbute their surplus annually.
The Boston Commercial et June 16 says that
the Equitable trouble would be lrapesvible Is
Massachusetts, and the late Jacob Green c&2
others have long and earnestly condemned
the qeestlonabie practice of accurautatlosf of
unnecessary surplus. The kingdom ef Prui
tta years are rsfused te Heense the three
"iclanta te do business In that kingjem un
der this system, and aHewed ese ef them te
re-enter under many etrtcjrent coadltiens, ene
of them being that "only annual dividend
policies can be Issued In Prussia."
As it Is Impossible te tell at the begtnatng
of the year the amount ef death asd expense
funds necesrary to safely conduct the busi
ness through the year, a maximum is charged
under the legal reserve tables, but at the
end of the year the amount that has brva
used Is known exactly, and in a ceiMerva
tlve company there Is a eurpte left which Is
credited te each polfey. thus giving back aay
portion of the premium net aetuaMy needed.
On the other hand, the deferred dividend eya
tem withholds this surplus for a term ef
years (usually 30) and unless the Insured sur
vives the full period and the policy la in
force at that time, all ef the surplus earn
ings are forfeited te the company. What per
son would purchase stock In a bank agreelag
that no dividend shall be paid upon hi steek
for a period ef 20 years, conditioned upon Ms
living that length ef time.? His frtecda would
have bis head examined, and- yet many et
them wilt and have made theftame agreement
with a Hfe insurance company.' Just becaoee It
was popular. I have known dexess ef tnea In
this state te ray premiums for years and for
feit their surplus earnings by death prier te
the maturity ef their coo tracts, which, had
they been insured under the annual dividend
plan, their estate would have received a moea
larzer amount.
according to the "Gain end Less Exhibit" ef
leccartu for 1S04. the companies paying an
neal dividends spent much leu ef taclr load
legs than the companies writing deferred dtrf
kud plans, proving, conclusively the fact that
the latter system is merely a scheme en the
part of the company to compel the policy
holder to gamble with his pro flu m that tho
company could have ntere money to use Is
manipulation.
It is ludicrous and absurd to see prominent
men swallow '"special board, contracts" Kni
tted to "ICO sapervisors." and reeetaaead
them to their friends, cr see- them agree to
