George Knott and Edward Hocklns, who returned last evening from the head waters of the Clackamas River, brought back the substantial proof of the exlstenpe of an extended blanket coal deposit. They traveled well back into the Cascade Range, where they began their prospect ing and found the outcropping of this coal mine at the bottom of a mountain on the lower edge of a drift, or slide, and readily broke off a considerable chunk. Having found the outcropping, they then pros pected the character of the deposit. They traced coal for five miles, two miles wide, ver and through the wildest and rough est country Imaginable, and satisfied themselvcs that they had made what seemed a very Important and valuable discovery. The deposit was, so they report, a blan ket mine, spreading over a wide extent of country, and not very far below the surface. With their implements, Knott and Hocklns were unable to prospect the deposit as thoroughly as they desired, but they brought enough ot the coal to make a fair lest of its quality. The mine Is located within four miles of the route sur veyed out for the xtcnslon of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company, which is now under construction. If the coal proves good, as located. It -would be an easy matter to open the mine and get the coal to Portland by the electric line. Knott and Hocklns also found copper and gold quartz while on their trip. The coal specimen they brought In la pronounced of excellent quality. s USE OFFERS SUBSTITUTE FOR PRO POSED BOX ORDINANCE. License Committee Seemed Divided on the Two Measures Submitted for Its Consideration. Peace rumors are afloat concerning the box ordinance situation, and, if ap pearances are any criterion, there are prospects of a compromise between tho better .element of the liquor Interests and the Municipal Association. At the meeting of the liquor license committee of the City Council yester day afternoon, called specially to con sider the Bennett and Masters ordi nances, there were also present Presi dent Jameson and Secretary Bain, of the Municipal Association, besides Sec retary Stone, of tho Y. M. C. A., and President Paul Wesslnger and Secre tary Al Crofton, of the Liquor Dealers' Association, together with Adam Mil ler, general manager of the Star brew ery, and Baron Schlenk, of the Quelle cafe. A significant feature of the situ ation exists In the fact that they all appeared to be on pretty good terms. The committee threshed over the features of the two rival box ordi nances for some time without reaching any definite conclusion, the committee being equally divided on the proposi tion, Chairman Gray and President An nand favoring the Bennett measure, which it was claimed was the result of the united effortB of ten members bf the Council, while Masters and Vaughn leaned towards the Masters ordinance. Councilmen Wallace. Wills and Shep herd, the other members of the com mittee, were absent. After considerable maneuvering on both sides without any definite results. Auditor Devlin came to the rescue by offering the following substitute for the obnoxious sections of the Bennett ordinance, and it seemed to meet with popular favor, although the oommittee adjourned until next Tuesday after noon in order to further consider the matter: "No person engaged in selling spirit uous, malt or fermented liquors or wines in quantities less than one quart in any saloon, barroom or restaurant in the city of Portland, shall sell any such liquor to be delivered or used, or that shall be delivered or used, in any side room, back room or upper room, or other apartment In the same or an adjoining building-, and shall not main tain therein or connect therewith any alcove, booth or box, except such al cove, both or box shall have a floor space of more than 160 sauare feet. and which shall have an opening' im- meamieiy upon tne main floor of said saloon, barroom or restaurant not less than three feet in width by seven feet in height, said opening to be free from any and all obstructions to the view fcom the main floor of the said saloon, barroom or restaurant." Dexiln's action in introducing the foregoing measure aroused consider able comment, as he is not a member of the committee, and no more entitled to take part in Its deliberations than any outsider, hence it is thought by some that it was a sort of prearranged, peace-offering on his part, and that it marks the beginning- of the end of the warfare between the two factions. --POMPEII'S" NEW PRICES Scale of Admission to the Great Spec tacle and The Oaks Is a Popular One. The managers of the big Pain spec tacle, "Last Days of Pompeii," and of the Oaks, announce a radical change In the scale of prices for that splendid attrac tion, the same going into effect tonight.

John Chesterfield Brown (Ezra Ken dall), known a "Comical Brown. & strolling player. In point of fact a "Barnstormer, who arrives at a little village in Nw Tork Bute, where he encounters. In front of the schoolhouse Zeb Uroper (John D. Garrlek). the schoolmaster, postmaster. tc, a man of great local Importance, who is the father ot Hetty (Elisabeth Kins), an Impulsive young sir!, known as the Villa; Gossip. Tho village school Is kept by Geoffrey (Thurlow Berren), a youn man, only known as "The School -master." whose family name, for good reasons, is not revealed for some time. On the trail of the aforementioned Brown comes Ode Carpers (Philip Bishop), a sheriff, with an insistent claim that con fronts Brown at various and in opportune times during his career. Brown also encounters among; other rustic specimens Hiram (Clem Langdpn), a village yokel. When things look darkest for the Barnstormer a, new road in his life leads him to a common wealth colony under the leadership or John Xesbltt (Frederick Malcolm), the founder of the Xesbltt Colony, where each works for the other and the "happiness of one Is the happiness -of alL" Brown Is con ducted to the colony by Ruth (Katbryne Browne), a sweet sympathetic girl, whose benign In fluence brings comfort Into the lives of all who surround her. She has found a home in this colony, where she divides the responsibility of the household with Farmer Xesbttt's sister, Caroline Netbltt (Rita O'Neill), a spinster with .many grievances. Among these grievances Is a very precocious child. Umbrla (Edith Taliaferro), aged 18, who becomes the dally companion of Brown. Into this colony there comes Herbert Ashforth (Harold Russell), once betrothed to Ruth. Among other members of the colony Is ene called Father William (H. T.. Kennedy), the auxiliary, deaf as a post. BY A. A. G. The .combination of Sydney Rosen fold, who wrote It and was present to see Its premiere, and Ezra Kendall produced a play at the Marquam last night that bears all the earmarks of lasting success. It was the first performance of "Tho Barnstormer" ever given anywhere, and Portland was fortunate in being in at tendance at the "bornln." It runs in three acts, a homely comedy constructed mainly away from conven tionality. Last night being in a manner experimental, some things developed that might wisely be pruned, but the struc ture of the play will stand. It is the best vehicle Kendall has ever had, and its possibilities are large and fine. Mr. Bosenfeld has studied his man with profit and has conceived a splendid char acter. He has used material which hith erto has been overlooked, strangely, too, for it is a pay streak. Two things new under the stage-writers' sun are brought Into most effective use, the elderly barnstorming actor, who was and still is a picturesque figure in our National life, and the co-operative farm colony. "Comical Brown" is a splendidly lik able sort of person, and the eccentric Kendall makes him the idealized vaga bond that the author wrote into his play. Last night there seemed to be a slight tendency on Kendall's part to underrate him, and a few of the best situations were sacrificed. For Instance, the bell ringing incident in the first act would have been more effective had Brown's momentary breakdown been in greater contrast with his former attitude toward the village public Mr. Kendall evident ly strove so hard to get away from the "burlesque" idea of a broken-down actor that be sinned on the other side. Assurance is the barnstormer's stock in trade, and while Brown appears in that capacity he should have Just a trace, at least of the pose which must have become his second nature. The first and second acts are decided innovations, particularly the first. They disclose a positive genius for original ity. The "entertainment" In the vil lage schoolhouse, "Brown's' failure to amuse the natives with drolleries, the method of securing the footlights and the loss of them one by one as the au ditors in disgust take their lanterns and leave the "show" are great sltua- i Hons. i The second act which takes place In j a colony Is almost startling In the ug- ' gestlon of Elbert Hubbard and his I Boycrofters. Even the "pastor of his flook" Is reproduced with considerable fldollty. The third and last act is j more nearly in the beaten path and will need considerable trimming. It is too long- and "talky." It is a pastoral comedy without a enow storm, a husking bee or & quar tet. It is for this reason a great relief after the many imitations of "Snore Acres" and "Way Down East." While ' it is obviously a star's play, yet there are several secondary parts that will live. The first performance was decidedly a triumph both for Mr. Bosenfeld and Mr. Kendall, and after repeated de mands they acknowledged the cordial reception accorded their efforts: The members of the company were happily cast, excepting in the Instance of John Garrlek, as Limper. Mr. Gar rick has evidently done "rube" turns in the vaudevilles. Miss Browne atoned for her offending In some past in stances and save a splendid perform ance as Ruth. Philip Bishop, as the Sheriff, Miss O'Neill as the crabbed spinster. Edith Taliaferro in the child role.' Thcrlow Bergen as the under graduate and Frederick Malcolm as the counterfeit presentment of "Fra Elbertus" were severally and collect ively effective. The stage settings for the first two acts were excellent but the scenic painters are backward In their work and It was necessary to use "house" scenery in the last act. I almost omitted recording- that the pure lofty tone of the piece is one of its greatest charms. It is a delightful, helpful play and deserves the success which it promises. It will be repeated tonight, tomor row night and at a. Saturday matinee. FIGURED IN DISPATCHES Mrs. Samuel Smith and Miss Allrn Aro in Portland.

Russian ship Lena, now Interned at Mare Island, near San Francisco. Mr?, Smith denied absolutely last night having any knowledge of anything upon which such a story coilld have been built by the press of California. She stated that she and her friend had been enter tained upon the Lena by the officers ot the ship, as she had been entertained by many other friends while In San Fran cisco. Upon the time of her visit to the ship Jhe bad returned to her hotel at 11 o'clock and there had been no trouble of any character.

"I did not at first make it a practice to see them, but found out that the more I talked to them the less they printed, so now I esc them when they call. And they have all been very nice to me, only you know I cannot talk about Russia. I love Russia and think It Is a great, glorious country, but I can't say any more than that. Only I thank God that we have peace." The two will remain In Portland today, provided no word is heard to the contrary from Mr. Smith, who has been very 111 at his home 'in Moscow, according to a cable message received Wednesday by his wife. If his condition has Improved, they will visit Chicago and St, Paul on their Journoy to New Tork, from which city Mrs. Smith will sail on September 16 for her home in Russia.
