George Clark, who lives on the cross road near Multnomah Cemotery, his house being In the pathway of the forest fire last Friday, says that the residents In districts threatened, as was this section, should organize to fight fires. "It was through the hardest kind of work and by the wind subsiding." said Mr. Clark, "that we were able to prevent the fire from rushing through the timber north of my place and through my stubble Hold, and sweeping through the dense dry undergrowth to ward Arleta. We were not prepared for anything of the sort. We had little water, only what I had In my cistern. In these ex posed points there should be some organ ization. It would cost little to have bar rels Ailed with water around the ex posed place of the farms, so that fires might be fought to good advantage. If the fire had gone on eastward I can't see how a single house In the territory for a mile oast could have escaped destruction, a all are surrounded with dry brush, and ferns that burn with a flash." Bbtacada Council Holds Bust Session Chtof Engineer G. I. Brown, of the Ore ram Water Power & Railway Company, w&e before the Estacada Council last evening with a proposition to sell out the water plant to the city. All the property of the plant was offered Estacada for ?700, which Mr. Brown said was about what the system had cost to build. After con sMering the offer it was decided that the city could not handle the proposition at the present time, as It 1p about to Issue la bonds with which to build a Mewer system. Both propositions would, Jt was thought, cause too much debt. On application of Manager Belnap, of the lCstaeada Brick Ec Tile Company, for a M-year franchise for a tramway on Ninth and Wade streets, the Council gave him pernitouion to build the tramway, but the granting of the franchise was continued over until the next meeting of the Coun cil. W. A. Cunningham applied for license to sell liquor which was continued until the next meeting. Not Opposbd to a Market Place. The farmers, represented by the Grange. amy that they are not opposed to a pub lic market in Portland, and have been its strongest advocate, but declare that they do not want to be compelled to drive acroas the city and then beck to unload hay, or other articles to a customer. J. J. Johnson, who is chairman of the con ference committee from Evening Star Qranee. thinks that the matter may be adjusted between the farmors and the People's Market Association and an ordi nance drawn up, through concerted action, that will be satisfactory to both. "We favor a market," said Mr. Johnson, "but It is out of the question to compel the farmers to. pay a peddler's license or drive to it. An ordinance may be drawn that wiM limit the territory in which teams with garden truck may stand." All the Granges of Multnomah County are asked to appoint their conference as soon as pos sible so the matter may be settled. St. Johns Population. The taking of the census of St. Johns has progressed so welt that M. Tufts, who has the work in hand, may complete It this week. Es timates from what has been done places the population at about 2400. The last census a little over two years ago gave the place 316. The comparison with the later figure shows that a big jump has been made inpopulation. In the matter of taxable property the Assessor has fixed the amount for St. Johns at Jl. 2M.0M. As the charter allows an assess ment of J mills for city purposes the municipality will have plenty of money after taxes come in from the next assess ment. If the deadlock In the Council can be broken St. Johns should be on the road to great prosperity. From the Old Kbntdckt Home. Maxell and Richard Newell, descendants of the Kellys of Kentucky from the same stock as the Oregon Kelly clan sprang from, are visiting with the Multnomah County Kellys. The progenitors of the Kelly dan came to Portland in 1S17, and these scions of the Kentucky branch had sever met the descendants, and hence they are meeting all the family during their visit in Portland.

Having in it as-much of Chicago as the packing-houses and the wheat-pit are of Chicago, and since Chicago Is the one great original, typical hlng which Amer ica has produced, so The Pit," as drama tized from the lamented Erank Norris masterly epic novel, seems to me to be, down to this moment, "the great Ameri can drama." It was performed here at the Marquam last night for the first time, there being a large attending. When Norris died, all too soon, he was doing for these United States what Zola did for France. He arose responding to a crying need, and after doing woll he made "The' Pit," which told the tragedy of commercialism as It was never told be fore, a masterwork and died at 29. Some time when this Nation Is old enough to understand, It will give Frank Norris a tablot In the Hall of Fame. Channlng Pollock, a young press agent, dramatized "The Pit" not long ago and put enough of his own and Norris genius Into it to make a groat play not so great as the book, but enough to make it, perhaps, the most seriously and thor oughly American of anything actors have yet attempted. Then Wilton Lackaye, perhaps the best man who could have been chosen, was selected to create the pivot upon which the play turns. In their own spheres, Norris, Pollock and Lackaye have done as much to paint a moral as "Frenzied" Lawson Is doing In his, only more seriously. In the State of Denmark something was rotten, no more than in our own state, which is of 45 states and In like ratio the rottener. We breathe it In the air. We touch It every day. We meet it on the street In our routine of business. We haggle with Its sordldness eternally. We sit down to dine with it in our hurried fashion. We meet It socially, we sit with It at the theater and cheek-by-jowl we are boslde it in the church. They call It variously, but It "is the same old rotton netu that was in the State of Denmark, only multiplied two-score and more fold. We boast of the "American spirit" when we should blush and be ashamed, for the spirit of Americanism Is that of the dicer. "Equitable Hyde" and the Rocke feller brood are logically our most typ ical Americans. They are the natural products of, "the system," and by another name, "the system" Is Americanism. The ether characteristic vices and virtues which we have, have survived long enough to permit our borrowing them from other civilizations. Our one groat distinctive and original institution is "the system," the cumulated craft of all the gamblers since the world bogan. The heart and sole of It is the stock market, "the pit." if you please; and into It we put manhood and all that goes with it Courage, honor, virtue, love, happiness, religion. Out of it in return get graft, dishonor, vice, vulgarity, coolielsm, mis ers', cowardice, skepticism. Insanity, sui cide. Not many In last night's audience saw in the play called "The Pit," any more than "a good show" because people have not learned to go to the theater for an other purpose than entertainment we are too busy watching the Pit. Sometimes, after we are all dead and the theatrical and other trusts are dead, there may come a wisdom that will go baok to first principles and learn of the drama. When that time comes it will be a fine day. It may not. but it seems to me that all this rigmarole has to do in a way with the theatrical performance which Wilton Lackaye and his associates gave us at the Marquam last night. Lackaye plays the Chicago wheat gam bler, Curtis Jadwin. as if he understood, like a realist. When a player does that, there's no need for him to act. His is a great portrayal, but It Js not the star nor his excellent company which makes the play great, neither Is it the playwright, but the thinking that was behind the actor, the playwright and the lines In the brain of a man now dead who understood how to make us understand. Wilton Lackaye Js a masterly actor. The few who are In his class In this country can be counted on the fingers of one hand. To those who see him as Jad win, he will always remain as a type. In the first act his comedy and sentimental ity and sentiment is as true and natural as is his tragedy and pathos in the last, It Is something of an education in acting to see his work. Opposite him there Is Jane Oaker. an actress who Is fairly hypnotic In her charm. She Is yoUng, but learned Jn her business. The part of the winsome girl who marries the speculator Is not drawn upon heroic lines. She Is not an unusual woman. She represents many who are living In Chicago and Portland and every where. Just as all the other characters In the piece stand for many and make no demand upon the imagination. Miss Oakor plays conscientiously and Intelligently, finding the whole meaning of her role As an aside, she has beauty, the voice of music and fine temperament in plenty. Frank Dekum, who lives In this town sometimes, this being his home, is seen quite advantageously, and justifies the confidence his friends here have In his ability. Incidentally he has enough friends here to be elected to office If he would quit strolling, come home and behave. XThe theater was full of them last night, and their ovation threatened to obstruct the performance. Hale Hamilton, whom I remember as an amateur at a certain" old school mean to give him away, but ho played Othello In a college "opry" once plays most accept ably the rival who breaks Jadwin, much better than he played Othello that time. The remaining members of the large company are high class, and the playing of the play proceeds smootnly. without the hindrance of walking gentlemen and ladles who limp. The scenery Is elegant, where elegance is demanded, and suffi cient where only sufficiency Is called for. "The Pit" is' a powerful, honest play, worth seeing more than once. In every detail it is excellent, and the story be hind it is Titanic It will run until Thursday night, when the famous revival of "Trilby" will go on for the remainder of the week.

A. G. From tho grandiloquent historical ro mance, the rattle of musketry and waving of flags, the Belasco players return from "Vincennes" to a dainty society comedy of Continental Eutope of current date. "Harriet's Honeymoon," which began its run at th matln&ft vMtcrdav Is the sort of play which scatters sunshine through I its entire length. The atmosphere Is dear as day as a rare September day in Ore gon, when the forest fires have been doused. True, "Jack" Sainpolls is work ing this week, and his appearance Is usually a cue for trouble to begin, but In this Instance he's not such a bad villain the play won't let him be. The tribula tions of the young Americans abroad for their wedding Journey are never sorrow ful to the audience, for It Is In on the secret; that's a courtesy light comedy has. to lot everybody Into the secret, so that we may laugh at the actors who are mixed up In a blue funk. "Harriet's Honeymoon" Is decidedly clever. It was written by that sort of a man for that sort of people. Perhaps It is not the sort of thing one will remem ber long, but It is bright and entertain ing. To see it so well acted as It is at the Belasco this week is an unalloyed pleas ure. There are no great, overtowcring parts in the cast, but enough good ones, to go round. It was written as a starring vehicle for Mary Mannerlng, who played it with con siderable success all over the country. With all due respect to Miss Mannerlng, It is difficult for an ordinary duffer critic whose liver is working, to see much su periority in her performance of the ca pricious heroine over that given yesterday by Lillian Lawrence. There is a good deal In the piece for the loading woman. She must look her prettiest, wear her handsomest gowns, but more than that, she must run the scale of emotions. Per haps it were better to say that the part Is a confetti battle between smiles and sighs, laughter and tears. It's the .very form and substance of femininity, so those who are studying Miss Lawrence as an artist may learn muoh concerning her versatility from seeing her Harriet One of the things for which I like Will Walling most is his modesty. He doesn't strut, nor does he conceive that he is the whole show. I watched him In the cur tain calls yesterday and found him tak ing any old kind of a place except the center of the stage. True, this week he is rather in the background of things, but it is always the same, no matter what the bill may be. He's so decently modest and natural that one must reach the con clusion that he's either a very good actor indeed or olse no actoFat alL I could hardly believe it of Christie Mae Lean. Really thought she had outgrown the very small soubrctte notiod, but I'm glad she hasn't, for she does a more or loss probable youngster this week, to the Interested delight of the appreciative audience. Fred Sumner I refuse to give the new juvenile man his duly administered front name. The programme calls him Fred erick, but that won't do. Not for a juvenile. Sounds too robusto-furloso, so until he goes in for Sardou. please. Mr. Programme Man. print It Fred. Well, to get back to Sumner as an actor. He comes here direct from New York to suc ceed Morgan Wallace. Little enough chance he has to shine this week, but wc think he will eventually do very nicely. At any rate. Portland will give him time. Of course Clarence Montalne is playing Bock, the funny inspector of police, and playing him well. Montalne was made for such parts. Eleanor Haher Is back In the cast this week, and with the rest of the company whose names do not ap pear here, was "among those present" The stage force has built splendid frames for the three acts. "Harriet's Honeymoon" will continue all the week. New Vaudeville Bills At the Grand. The new bill presented at the Grand Theater yesterday was replete with attractive numbers, and was well re ceived. Lottie Gilson, the popular sou brctte. sang- several very catchy songs, and was assisted in her act by Slgnor Duprec Larplot. Frank Clayton, a clever musical monologuist. told some good stories and kept the audience in a merry mood all the time he occupied the stage. Vlrdln and Dunlap pre sented a taking comedy sketch en titled "The News Girl," and Bennett and Sterling- also proved to be humor ous .entertainers. Frank Purlnton sang- a new illustrated song-. T11 Be Waiting in the Gloaming-, Sweet Gen evieve." which is destined to make a hit In musical circles. The Grandl scope has a sensation called "The Steeple Chase" Today the show will be augmented by TJryden's Canine Cir cus, said to be among the best of Its kind. At tho "Star. Every seat Was filled at all of the performances given at the Star The ater yesterday, and the programme presented was a most attractive one." The Mexican Quintette of instrument alists played "Poet and Peasant,' "Moonlight," "Carnival of Venice," and other selections, and brought down the house at the close' of each num ber. Searles and Rockwell, in a com edy sketch called "The Cheeky Mes senger." which, is full of good songs and mirth-provoking gags, scored a hit. Earl and Hampton presented a screaming act which brought forth round after round of applause, and cre ated no end of laughter. Roy McBraln sang "When the Fields Are White With Daisies," a new illustrated song, and many new and Interesting mov ing pictures were shown. The bill is a good one and there is not a dull moment. It will be repeated during the week, and deserves patronage. WHERE JO DINE. All the delicacies of the season at tho Portland Restaurant, fine, private apartments for parties.

JUDGE HUNT HERE Comes to Preside at Third Trial of Williamson CHOSEN BY THE PRESIDENT Some Startling Revelations Are Promised in the Case Against the Congressman and Associates. William Henry Hunt, Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Montana, reached the city last night and will this morning take up the conduct of the land fraud cases in the Federal Court. Before him will be called today at 10 o'clock the third trial of the case against Williamson, Gesner und Biggs, who are charged with con spiracy to suborn perjury by inducing a number of neighbors to swear falsely In regard to timber land entries. Judge Hunt comes to take up his task here, as the personal choice of President Roosevelt for the work. Upon the death of the late Judge Bellinger, Judge Hunt was favored by the President as the man to try "the cases. Judge Hunt's Biography. t Judge Hunt was bom In New Orleans on November 5, lo. and comes of a family of jurists, his father being at one time Federal Judge for the District of Louisiana. The Judge was educated at the Hopkins Grammar sshool In New Haven, Conn., and entered Tale with the class of 1S7S- 111 health, however, prevented his graduation. From 1SS1 to 1SS5 he was collector of customs for Idaho and Montana. From 1SS3 until 1SS7 he was Attorney-General of Montana and In 1SS4 was a member of the Constitutional Con vention of the State. The Judge was sent to the Montana Legislature In 1$S9 and was a Judge of the District Court for the Flint Judicial District of Mon tana .from 1SS3 until ISM. In 1S34 he was elected Justice of the Montana Supreme Court which office he held until ISO) when he was appointed Secretary of Porto Rico, being made Governor In August. 1S01. He was appointed to the Federal Judgeship by President Roosevelt. Strange Coincidences Told. Those who know the history of Judge Hunt and his family tell a curious Inci dent which, to the superstitious, would Indicate that fate bad marked, both' fath er and son. William H. Hunt, senior, was a Federal Judge in the District of Louisiana during the administration of President Garfield. He was appointed Secretary of the Navy by President GarelSd with the under standing that he was later to go to the Supreme Bench of the United States. Upon the death of President Garfield and the accession of Vice-President Arthur, all of the Cabinet resigned, and Judge Hunt was sent to Russia an the United State Minister, In which office he died. William HL Hunt, the son, was ap pointed Governor of Porto Rico by Presi dent McKlnley, and, it is said, with the understanding that he was later to be placed upon the Supreme Bench. Presi dent McKlnley was assassinated, before the promise was -fulfilled and Judge Hunt was placed by President Roosevelt upon the Federal Bench. Thus fate twice has robbed first the father and then the son of a Supreme Judgeship. ' New Pacts Promised. The trial of the Wllllamson-Gesner-Blggs case for the third time promises some Incidents not heretofore brought to light, so it Is said. New matter has been unearthed during the Interim between this time and the close of the second trial that will make the Interest In the thrlce-told tale as great as it was In the fresh story. . The t trial will occupy the Aawrtex's ORIGINAL MALT HI SKY Vxthocrt a Rhnd Today MALT greater part of two weeks In Its hearing. The Federal grand Jury will meet this afternoon at 2 o'clock for the considera tion of those cases which Deputy District Attorney Banks has to present to It. Mr Banks will take several days of the Jury's attention before It is again ready to hear land fraud testimony. EXPERT SXW1JTG-.JIA CHINE REPAIRS.
