BOATS RESUME THEIR RUNS 3ov Water on Snake River No Longer Interferes. The O. R. & N. operating department has received word that the boat service on the Snake River, which had been aban doned for some few days on account of the low water, has been resumed, and freight Is again being handled between Lewiston and Riparia. The boats have been experiencing some difficulty for some time in handling the business caused by the wheat shipments, owing "to the low stage of the river, but the wet weather of the past few days lias caused the water to rise until it Is now possible to run the boats with tolerable ease. This season will in all probability be the last in which the farmers of the Lew-iston-Rlparia district will . have to look to the river for the transportation of their crops. The railroad extension now being constructed will have been completed bv the time the next crop Is ready to haul, and the great bulk or the grain will be diverted to the rail lines. The river busi ness will be confined practically to the ferriage business in transporting wheat from one side of the river to the railroad stations and warehouses on the other. Arrested for Beating Landlord. Because an angry husband caught him in the act of playing "Peeping Tom" on bis wife, and administered a well-deserved beating, It Is alleged Mike Rltj.cr swore out a warrant charging A. W. Stober with assault and battery, and the young man was arrested by Patrolman Murphy last evening. According to Stober and a man who formerly occupied the house at Delay and SellwocT!?' streets. Rltter, who Js the landlord, has made a practice of annoy ing the wives of his tenants during the ansence of their husbands, and on Sat urday evening, as he was returning from work. Stober saw the form of a man peeping through the window of his home, and promptly delivered a good beating to the intruder. After finishing the Job he recognized the man as his'landlord. A former tenant of the house occupied by Stober stated that he would be on hand to testify when the case comes to trial, and intends to explain the reasons for his leaving the place, which are much the same as the cause of Stober's assault on the landlord. SELL THE BELASGO SEVERAL OFFERS RECEIVED FOR THE PROPERTY. Building Can Be Utilized for Stores and for Offices or Room ing Purposes. ' According to David Stenrn. who represents Bclnsco & Mayer, the own ers of the Belasco Theater, that build ing: may never be reopened as a play house. One of the most flattering offers which the company has received for the property comes from a firm which wishes to acquire it for store purposes. Nothing definite has been done in the matter as yet, and it, like the other offers. f are being held up for further consideration. If the theater is sold to the business firm it will be entirely remodeled. Be cause of the steep grade of the street Just at the spot where the Belasco is located. It possesses an advantage for store purposes which is unique among the properties on the principal streets of Portland. This grade will permit of two floors on the street level for use as stores. The lower floor would have Its entrance upon Burnsldc street, and the upper floor would front on Wash ington. In this way a double revenue would be derived, and the prospective buyers will follow the plan outlined if they receive the property. Four floors would be fitted up above for office or rooming purposes. Although Belasco & Mayer have lost on their theater business In this city, it is probable that they will clear enough from the sale of the building to more than make up the deficit. They purchased the theater from H. A. Blazler April 30. 1905. for 590,000. Since that time they have spent about $5000 on Improvements. It is understood that if they accepted any of the several offers which have been made they would clear more than $6000 on the transaction. It is stated that some disposal will probably be made of the prpperty with in the next few days. Whether it will go to the business firm or be secured by show people has not been decided. Several theatrical men are anxious to make a. venture thore, and the theater may be either sold or leased to some one of them YOUNG MAN DISAPPEARS JUarion Coppin Is Missing and Rela tives Arc Alarmed.

It must be a college man who gets the fullest enjoyment out of this delightful comedy from George Ade's pen; and like wise It must be one whose sense of appre ciation is blunted who can fail to feel keen enjoyment in the delightful atmos phere of the piece. In his, "College Widow." Ade has penned well of a sub ject that is near to heart and home. In his character work he has made every stroke tell, and the whole Is so skillfully woven and blended as to form an epitome of an entire football season at school. One of the largest and most fashionable audiences of the season saw last night's first performance at the Marquam. There has not been. In some months past, a play dependent upon Its own merits and that of a company devoid of favorite star, which has been so well received, tac curtain had been up not five minutes when reserve was laid aside before an Infec tious, escntlally American humor, em bodying an Irresistible appeal to animal spirits. When the curtain went down upon the football victory after the third act the gallery proceeded to tender the players an ovation. Each of the eight times the curtain was drawn at this time there were loud calls for a speech from Bolton, the halfback, but Mr. Truesdell paid homage to the fact that the applause was occasioned by tho vigorous sentiment of a situation rather than by any personal effort, and maintained a becoming silence. The story of the piece is based upon a football game. Atwater and Bingham Col leges are close rivals, "each determined to win the Thanksgiving game. Ohc Billy Bolton, son of a railroad magnate, starts for Bingham in accordance with his fa ther's wishes. The young man happens to be a famous Western halfback, and Atwater's players arc anxious to get him. They use the College Widow to effect his capture, which she succeeds In doing. Conventional complications ensue, and are finally unraveled, as usual. But the "plot" Is of no great importance no more than the frame of a picture. We find ourselves vastly more interested in how "Bub" Hicks, the freshman. Is go ing to come out at the faculty ball than in the final denouement. When the coun try gawk undergoes a transformation and comes out a finished social product, the effect Is second in exhilaration only to the outcome of the game. Miss Dorothy Tennant, In the title role, proved satisfactory. Mr. Truesdell made a fine-appearing football hero and acted his part wclL The best character work la that of Katherine Nugent. In the part of Flora Wiggins, "a prominent waitress." There are many Floras such as Miss Nu gent reveals, and there are few who failed to recognize an old acquaintance, even though they had not "met her sociably." to borrow one of Flora's pet phrases. Messrs. Dcmerset, Klnslow and Torring ton were a lifelike and convincing trio of student's: Miss Tanner was well cast as the athletic girl: Daniel TIbbcts made a good town marshal, and the other parts were In good hands. "The College Wid ow" will be repeated tonight, with two concluding performances Wednesday. NEW VAUDEVILLE BILLS The Grand. The Grand put on another good vaude ville show yesterday for this week. The features are 'varied and meritorious and won continual rounds of applause from a big house yesterday afternoon at the first performance. The Four Leondorc, who head the programme, give a good acro batic exhibition In evening dress, doing several original feats requiring great skill. Marshall & Lorraine in a little burlesque act "Ragtlme-LIz" are one of the best parts of the show, introducing a running fire of good Jokes and funny antics. The LaMonts- give an entertaining musical act; Miss Elaine, soprano, sings several numbers effectively; Figaro gives a clever exhibition of club swinging; Master Har old Hoff sings "The Rabbi's Daughter" and the blograph concludes the perform ance. Same bill all week. Pnntages. Pantages theater has an all-comedy bill this week wherejn there In a laugh for every minute. The attendance was good at the opening performances yester day and the bill fulfilled its purpose of making people laugh to the fullest ex tent. Biff and Bang is the suggestive name of the feature comedians who pro ceed to pass outrcomedy with plenty of ginger In it. Both have to be skilful acro bats to produce the act. Flood & Hayes combine acrobatic feats and comedy into an enjoyable blend; the Hazlitt Trio serve up a laughable specialty act which was enjoyed by all yesterday: Bobby Boyle and the three Georges are a good quar tette who kept ripples and waves of laughter running through the audience all the time they were at work; James Mark did a good monologue act; Leo White sang a new illustrated song and the blo graph pictured the Russian horrors to gether with several comedy scenes. Same bill all week. The Star. The Star put on one of the best shows It has had In some weeks yesterday and those who saw the new bill enjoyed an especially good lot of vaudeville acts. The new bill is headed by Seaman. Adams and Rogers, who proved to be three of the best singers who 'have been inside a local vaudeville house In some time. Tho Aldeans give a pleasing exhibition on the horizontal bar, performing all manner of difficult feats with amazing ease. Billy Mines fully sub stantiated his claim to hcing a monologu ict; Fred Haydn presented a good musical act which won him several encores; Yard man, the female impersonator, showed a close acquaintance with the mannerisms of the gentler sex; W. E. Hartford sang an illustrated song "Down Where the Sil very Mohawk Flows" and the blograph pictured a drama of army "life "The De serter." Examined by Medical Board.

Jan. a To the Editor.) Dr. Wise confounds two distinct tblca: The right of the minister to think, speak and teach freely, and the right of the congregation free ly' to employ him and to discontinue that em ployment when they drift too far apart. The cne be strongly emphasises, the other he Ig nores, for the only meaning of his argument is that be expects and demands the sup port and allegiance of the congregation to which he may be called regardless of whether his vlenrs commend themselves to his congregation or not. Nowadays few will dispute the right of a man to speak and write freely what he please. That right Is conceded. But It la not conceded to everybody regardlem of the porltion occupied. The respective right of pulpit and pew Is a, burning quct!on seldom dls;ussed without considerable feeling cer tainly not often in the dry light so much to be desired. In those self-governing churches which free ly call their own ministers, the relation of church and minister Is ewntlally that of employer and employed. He Is called by those with whom he has rone community of belief or purpose; diherwlee he would not be' called by them. And while the employment lasts he paould be the representative of his congregation in harmony with it. not In con flict with It on what they deem vital ques tions. His position hi a dual one. He repre ikM them as well ax himself, and when he ceases to represent them he should not oc cupy their pulpit or take their pay. Suppose, for example, that Dr. Wise should cease to hold or teach any form of Judaism; that he should espouse the teachings of his great co religionist, the lonely thinker of The Hague, and should finally rest In pure naturalism. Could he with propriety In.Vj5t that he must be allowed perfect liberty of teaching those doctrines despite the protests of his congre gation? And can he rightly argue that If he be not so permitted he Is a muzzled minis ter? Assuredly a roan must speak his sincere conviction If he Is to be a vital and effective teacher: but most preachers preach with per fect sincerity the doctrines of their respective churches. That lt why they are In thos churches. They arc at home la them and there la no friction. That Is why Dr. "Wise is in Temple Beth Israel. If a man wishes to be perfectly free as a thinker, preacher or teacher and without ob llgatlore to any church or body whatever, he must cut himself loose .from any church or employing body and live as an Independent teacher or writer, looking solely to voluntary adherents. But he will then represent no. church, no organization, no tradition, no race, religion or cult, a mlnbner Is not an inde pendent teacher like Socratw. who taught without price and refused to accept pay for fear of Its Influence on his perfect liberty. Xor Is he an Isolated thinker like Spinoza, who refused to accept a professorship of phi losophy for a like reason. Those men deemed any teaching for pay incompatible with a perfectly free search after and teaching of the truth. The minister Is rather the mouthpiece of those who hold to fixed rules, fixed tradi tions and fixed Ideals; and he Is In a large measure the defender of organized and cor porate tradition. Can a man who ceases to voice the general thought and beliefs of his particular con gregation Insist that he is to be retained, actively upheld and richly. paid, by that very people whose beliefs or prejudices he may attack In their own pulpit? if a preacher is free to speak hU purely Individual sentiments Irrespective of the sentiment of his congre gation, what becomes of the right of the congregation? Ia it not' bound and gagged under tho specious pretext of having an un muzzled pulpit? Mr. Marshall's position Is simply this: That If Irreconcilable differences should zxm be tween a rabbi and his congregation, one of them must yield, and that it must (In the nature of things) be the rabbL Certainly, and why not? Theirs in th synagogue, theirs the money and theirs the audience; and they are only doing what they have a perfect right to do employing whomsoever they will, with their own, for themselves. The rabbi Is not muzzled, he Is not suppressed, he Is visited with no punishment, he loses no right he had before, nor any right he can Justly claim. But he does lose that particular pulpit as the vehicle of bis individual views and the right to demand the financial and moral support of the congregation when proclaiming those views. Has not Dr. Wise allowed himself to go astray .a his zeal for "liberty of prophesy ing"? Has he not closed his eyes to the right of a congregation to mlov wtirtm It will, and to part from a teacher who may try to lead them In what they consider danger ous path? This. then, is the conclusion of the whole matter: "I would follow after the old He brew prophet I win be free to teach, and I will not be muzzled." urges Dr. Wise. "Tou may so follow and teach and you shall not be muzzled." answers Mr. Marshall, "but while you eat our" com you must tread out our corn not your own." To an unregenerate lookeron Mr. Marshall appears to have the right end of the argu ment. LORING K. ADAM. Burns Wood Instead of OH. Civic Improvement pride no longer in fluences the members of tho County Com missioners' Court when economy figures as a counter factor. Huge piles of slab wood now adorn the Fifth-street yard of the building. The reason of this is that the county has gone back to burning wood for the purpose of heating the Courthouse. Some time ago the county put in an oil burning plant and discarded the use of slabwood. Recently a local slabwood dealer agreed to furnish slabwood for 52.2S a cord, and also agreed that the bill would be 30 per cent less than the cost of oIL Judge Webster and County Commts- f sioners Barnes and LIghtner agreed to make a contract for wood on these terms. It it does not prove satisfactory the oil plant will be put In use again The old price for slabwood was 52.75 a cord. Banarjee Circle's Work.
