Her audiences show that she draws from the stagcly reverent, the earnest Thespian learners, the unregenerate strcot rapscallions who always have ideals, and the uncontamlnatcd toilers of a city who do not realize yet that everything in life is false and profitless. Last evening at the Marquajn Grand Madame Modjeska and her company pro duced the prickling and bubbling and wisely witty comedy that Shakespeare once wrote, saying in effect, "Now, here's a comedy you can take it or leave it," after he had put forth tragedies, farces ani other things according to his and the public's own sweet will. Everybody ever since has taken it, for the most part, and with excessive satis faction and avidity. The star prettily glided into the anima tion and esprit of bewitching and tan talizing Beatrice. Her welcome was pro gressively -enthusiastic as the play ad vanced. She holds her hearers In a spell that old friends fathom, although those who see her now for the first time prob ably note simply the finish of her work and mildly feel the glow of a wondrous personality. Curtain calls for Modjeska,. and a pleased reception of the scintillat ing piece as a whole, marked the event. This afternoon Modjeska's final appear ance in Portland will be in Schiller's "Mary Stuart." perhaps the role she likes the best of all she has ever assumed. She has played it more than any other part, and it was the most famous of her 'repertoire when she was starring with Edwin Booth. A. H. BALLARD. PURCHASE FOUR MORE LOTS The Misses Failing Add to the Site for Tlieir Residence. Four more lots were bought yesterday by the Misses Henrietta and Mary F. Failing to add to the beautiful residence site which they purchased in Ardmore last week. These lots, like the oihers. were ac quired from the Maclcay estate. The price paid was $20,000. The tract which the Misses Failing now own. and upon which they will erect one of the most handsome residences in Port land, comprises 16 lots in the most at tractive part of the city. For the 12 lots which they bought last week they paid $42,000 making the entire price $62,000. This is undoubtedly the largest amount ever paid for a dwelling site in Portland. The four lots bought yesterday adjoin the tract previously purchased, upon the south. Grindstaff & Schalk made the sale. It is understood that the natural beau ty of this site will be enhanced in cverv way by skilled landscape gardeners. The Misses Failing expect to feegin building early in the Spring. It is believed that the cost of their dwelling will exceed that of the grounds. Fred Stanton has Just purchased a lot in the Cedar Hill tract, opposite Ard more. TICKETS JF0R CALVE.

THOSE WHO SEEK PLACES Everybody Is Confident and AH Ex tend Glad Hands to .the Voters "Whom They Chance to Encounter. Republican aspirants for state offices were thick as Summer flics In Portland yesterday, among them being: T. T. Ger. of Salem, candidate for Gov ernor; Dr. James Withycombe, of Corval Hs. for Governor; W. R. Ellis, of Pendle ton, for Congress; E. L. Smith, of Hood River, for Congress; "W. J. Lachncr, of Baker City, for Congress; Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton, boomed for United States Senator: Jonathan Bourne, of Port land, also boomed for that office; F. W. Mulkey, of Portland, candidate for the short-term Scnatorshlp: Walter Toore, of "VVoodburn. for Congress; "V. J. Clark, of Gervais, for State Printer; J. R. Whitney, of Albany, for Stato Printer; Willis S. Dunlway. of Portland, for State Printer; Paul Custer, of Portland, for State Print er: W. T. Wright, of Union, for State Treasurer. Out Making Friends. All the foregoing gentlemen kept the glad hand busy the livelong day. nor paused in the gloaming, from making friends. Hither and yon they trotted, though not all held their lightning' rods on high. Inasmuch as not all had come out of the tall grass and " 'fessed up," chief of the shy ones being Hood River (E. L.) Smith, who was said to bp boomed by the Moody people, in opposition to W. R. Ellis for Congress In the Second District; Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton, aspirant for the United States Senator ship, who is evidently waiting for devel opments in Multnomah County before de ciding whether to "run for that office; Tom Wright, of Union, who, like J. H. Aitkin, of Huntington, and R, Alexander, of Pendleton, has an eye on the office of State Treasurer. Lowell's Mind Not Made Up. Mr. Lowell said last night that, while he desired to be United States Senator, and hoped to win the office some day. he had not made up his mind whether to be a candidate at this time. He was not ire that affairs in Multnomah County would allow the way open for an outside man. "While I feel rather confident," said he, "that I could carry all of the state out side Multnomah, still this county will con trol the election." Mr. Lowell did not explain in detail what he meant by this remark, but left the plain Inference that his own candi dacy would depend on whether strong candidates should appear in Multnomah. He remarked that, if he should enter the race and win the office, he would hold it above such petty struggles as those for patronage and local appropriations, and thought he would attend to those matters as details of the office and endeavor both to secure appointment of able men and appropriations for Oregon's needs, at the same time he would regard his seat In the United States Senate as belonging to the National Legislature, which ought to deal with all questions from the viewpoint of the National good. Favors Direct Primary Law. Mr. Lowell declared himself for faith ful application of the direct primary law lor popular election of United States Sen ators in Oregon, saying that the Legis lature should elect only the candidate who should be the people's choice. In the thick of the throng moved Jona than Bourne, also candidate for United States Senator. And did the braves rec ognize him? Tea, Indeed, even though Jonathan had lost the side whiskers by which many persons used to know him. Many of the patriots had received the printed pamphlet, sent out by Mr. Bourne, asking them to pledge themselves to sup port of the plan of popular election of Senators and of taking away the choice from the Legislature. County Judge Webster, Too. Another conspicuous aspirant for the Senatorshlp was I R. Webster, County Judge of Multnomah, who was said, how ever, practically to have decided to run for the Counts' Judgeship instead. But the Judge would neither deny nor affirm last night that this was true, saying that he would make up his mind in a few days, All the foregonig Senatorial candidates wanted the long term of six years, and not the short term of six weeks, but F. W. Mulkey. of Portland, was In the race for the. short term. T. T. Gecr and Dr. Withycombe. candi dates for Governor, brushed up against each other several times, but all was love ly between them. Each said that he was confident of winning the nomination In the primaries April 20. "Things couldn't look better:" exclaimed Dr. Withycombe. "That's true," effervesced Mr. Gecr. The Congressional Fight. Meanwhile W.'R. Ellis and W. J. Lach ner were pluming themselves for the nom ination for Congress. Did they intend to make a stump fight for the nomination? Nay; at least that was the word from Judge Ellis. Had either heard that Mal colm A. Moody, the man who wrested the Congressional seat from Ellis In 183S. was going to run? Nay again, nor had they heard that he wasn't going to run; In fact, they hadn't heard anything about Mr. Moody. But there were whisperings In the corridors that a political ally of Mr. Moody's was going to make the race, in opposition to Judge Ellis, by name EL L. Smith, of Hood River, big chief of the Oregon Development League. Conspicuously active was J. R. Whitney, State Printer, who desires re-election to the Job which has been his during the last three years. His chief worker was Jim Finch, who has been working in his interest in many counties. W. J. Clarke was not slow, either, nor was W. S. Dunl way. Talks to South Portland Boys. Judge A. L. Fraxer addressed the Boys Club of South Portland at the Fourth Presbyterian Church last night on the oc casion of their regular meeting. He adopted rather a serious vein in his ad dress, giving the boys much kindly and sound advice about leading the proper kinds of lives now. that they may develop Into a desirable manhood. "I have never had closer or more marked attention from any audience than I had from those little fellows," said the Judge after the meet ing was over. "There was every Indica tion that they were Impressed with the truth aqd logic of tho facts I put before them, and I hope it wiil result In some permanent good." This club is run on the sasac general plans that several other boys organiza tions in the city are conducted, and the members are vers enthusiastic. Thev gather once a week- and generally some programme Is given. Will Abolish Orient Postofflce. GRESHAM. Or., Jan. 12. SpcIal.)-0 rift- Pestofllce, sitiwlei six artles east f here, will probably be discontinued within the next six months. It is one of the old postoffices of East Multnomah and has a rural free-delivery route In operation, but Rural Agent Clement Inspected the route last Wednesday and came to the conclu sion that a change would not only be eco nomical to the Postofflce Department but would be generally beneficial to the patrons of the route and postofflce. The rural route will be taken bv the Boring office, which is on the O. W. P. Railway, and the star route now supplying Orient and all the other postoffices beyond. In cluding Sandy, will also be changed from Gresham to Boring. WHAT ARE THE ISSUES? Congressional Candidates Are Asked 3forc Clearly to Define Themselves. FOREST GROVE. Or.. Jan. 11. To Mcun. Huston. Tooxe and Itawley) The voters of the First Congressional District are waiting wltR tome degree of patience the second Install ment of your declaration of principles ax can didate for nomination for Congrn on the Republican ticket. As the matter now stand It Is Impossible to determine which of the three should be mpported at the primaries, as there Is no perceptible difference In your plat forms. Tou each declare that you are not going to be backward about aasing appropri ations. In this we consider that our Wash ington County candidate.

But It could not be expected to apply to us Inland voters, vrhoce Interests are more equally di vided among the harbora. We must there fore seek a more potent reason. for making a selection of one among the three. We therefore ask that you express your oplnlocfi upon issues pending In Congress and lhoe which are being dlscuMed by the metro politan press throughout the country, to-wlt. The Philippine tariff reform bill iwhlch has become an Issue since your letter of the 34 Inst), also the status of the Flllpfno as to citlxenshlp. (This we guarantee will be an beue by the time you are Qualified to act.) The asset currency bill has also, accord ing to your own definition, now become an issue since the convention of bankers In New York appointed a committee to formulate a bill to that end. differing from the one recom mended by Secretary Shaw In asking that 50 per cent be allowed to Usue Instead of 25 per cent. Alto please give us the benefit of your opinions on revision of tariff for fear this might become an Issue before your term of office expire. We have reason to believe that ship subsidy has also become an Issue since yours of recent date, a bill to that end having been Introduced. Gentlemen, if you hare a formulated opin ion upon these ubjcu and refuse to ex pre the same, your would-be supporters have a right to suspect that your vlewa are not In conformity with their Interests. You therefore could not expect their support and should sot solicit 1U On the other hand. If ou have not sufficient knowledge or Information to form a belief on these subjects it would seem that you were a little premature In announcing your iclvta as candidates for so Important an office.

Kline, for four years manager for Charles Gauld. and for the past four years manager for the Gauld & Kline Co.. has withdrawn from that corporation. It was largely through Mr. Kline's efforts that the business during the past eight years has been built from nothing until the house has become one of the leading job bing houses In plumbers supplies on the Pacific Coast. Mr. Kline's retirement Is regretted by a large circle of friends and business acquaintances. After a much needed rest Mr. Kline says that he will engage In the same line of business. Prior to associating with the firm from which he now retires, Mr. Kline was for 15 years prominently connected with the firm of Goldsmith & Lowenberg. Several months will be spent by him in travel, before engaging in active business again. Another Phase of It. PORTLAND. Jan. 11. (To the Editor.) Anent your editorial of this date. "One Phase of It," allow me to give you another phase. lYllllam Miller, well known to the old pioneers as "Scotch Miller." died upon November 13. 1004. He left an estate consist ing of a farm In Yamhill County and a few hundred dollars, which he had accumulated by hard work and rlsjoroua self-denial. His only heir was his daughter. Mrs. Jane Kel logg, a widow, who died but a. few days over two months after her father death, that Is. upon January 14. 1006. Two orphan sons survive her. In settling the estate, our great and glorious State of Oregon, organized as are all good and free governments for the- pres ervation of life and property of Its citizens, commands two Inheritance taxes, one tax upon the estate of William Miller and one tax upon the state of Mrs. Kellogg.

PREFERS TO TRADE HERE As Soon as- jRailways Are Built, Klarriatli, Falls AVIH Seek Port land for Business, Says J. Scott Taylor. There Is not the slightest foundation for the newspaper rumor that Klamath County wishes to secede from Oregon and cast its fortunes with California, says J. Scott Taylor, editor of the Klamath Falls Express, who arrived In the city yesterday for the purpose of attending the coming- joint convention of the State Press Association and the Oregon Development League, which is now In session. Mr. Taylor says the people of his county 'are loyal to Portland, and that while they are now compelled to trade j wiiu ban i-ranclsco, owing: to the fact that the California metropolis has an advantage over this city In the matter of freight rates, they will be quick to throw their patronage in this direction as soon as the Southern Pacific builds to Klamath Falls from Natron, and connecting with the California & Northeastern, makes this new road a link In Its main line between Portland and San Francisco. Ncw Route to San Francisco. As the new route to San Francisco w-Ili be no longer than the present one. while the grades will not exceed 2 per cent, it Is predicted that the Southern Pacific will then abandon the road over the Siskiyou for heavy traffic. This change of route, which many be lieve will be made in the near future, will do wonders In building- up Kla math County and the City of Klamath Falls, air. Taylor believes. "Klnmath Falls Is making a rapid and substantial growth." said Mr. Taylor yesterday. "We now have a population of 1500, an electric light and power plant, a city water system and a. telephone exchange. Two street railway companies have been granted franchise, and one of the proposed car lines will be completed this year. A county high school building, of brick, has just been completed at a cost of $30.00',. and a city school building of stone, costing 520,000. is being erected. AVcycrhacuscr Sawmill, Too. 'The Weyerhaeuser Timber Company!- has just purchased a large tract of soft pine timber in Klamath County, together with a railroad running into the belt from Thrall, on the Southern Pacific, and it is reported will soon erect a large sawmill at Klamath Falls. AH these enterprises will help build up our little city." Mr. Taylor added that the contract for the boring of the tunnel and the digging of eight miles of the main canal of the Klamath irrigation pro ject had been let to Mason, Davis & Co., of Portland, at $3S7.K. The con tract has yet to be approved by tho Secretary of the Interior. A telegram was received from Senator Fulton at Washington yesterday afternoon stat ing that the contract would undoubt edly be approved. BIp Tunnel Contract. This Is one of the largest contracts that will be let, as the Government has agreed to furnish all of the steel and cement to be used on the tunnel and the canal. The steel and the cement form one of the biggest Items of ex pense of the construction and it is thought that . the Government is as suming this responsibility to insure the quality of the materials. The tunnel will be 3500 feet in length. 14 feet in width and 15 feet deep. It will be concreted throughout. It is understood that Mason, Davis & Co. will start work on the project as soon as the contract Is approved by the Secretary of. the Interior, as It is provided that the tunnel and canal must be completed a year from the date of the approval of the contract.
