Beatrice. ..Madame Helena Modjeska
Modjeska's present farewell tour
throughout the country partakes of the
character of a dramatic ostentation to the
theatrically devout.
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.

ARE THICK AS FLIES
Candidates for Office Throng
Portland's Streets.
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?

It could not be expected to apply to us Inland
voters, vrhoce Interests are more equally di

selection of one among the three.
We therefore ask that you express your

The asset currency bill has also, accord

issue since the convention of bankers In New

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

Gentlemen, if you hare a formulated opin

31. Ii. Kline ItctJrcs.
M. L. 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.

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.
