Want Fire Protection. The destruc
tion ol the nne home of J. II. Brown, at
Mount Tabor, has shown Mount Tabor
lcoplc that they need nrc protection.
The Brown house was JuBt across the
Base Line road and outside the city lim
its but a chemical engine, or plenty of.
hose, located near the Base L.lne road,
might have avcd the property. It has
hocn the experience at Mount Tabor that
when a flr breaks out In any building it
bums to the ground with the adjoining
building. Nearly 12 buildings have
burned in the past few years at Mount
Tabor, beginning with Oriental Masonic
Hall, the I-aldlaw residence and ending
with the Brown dwelling destroying over
Jion.OX) worth of property. The comple
tion of the high service water main from
the upper reservoir will enable that sec
tion to get fire protection provided Mount
Tabor is allowed to have the use of the
water from that main. The residents
will asH that the section which is Inside
the city be provided with Are protection
in return for the taxes they will have to
the city. However, It seems to hinge
on th question whether they can get
water from this main. The present sup
ply is not sufficient for more than do
mestic purposes.
Street Improvements Delated. Sev
eral important street improvements on
the Kast Side have been delayed for va
rious reasons, and the property owners
want them expedited. East Burnslde im
provement between Union avenue and
Kast lenth street is held up because the
street railway company does not want to
put down the pavement for which the pe
tition calls bltullthlc owing to the cost,
but the property owners want this Im
provement expedited, and not held up. It
lake at least two months to get the im
provements tinder way. Also the Im
provement of Grand avenue between Bel
mont to East Stark and East BurnBlde
streets, skipping the fill under way be
tween East Stark and Oak streets, is not
colng forward for some reason. This im
provement also is to be bltuuthlc and it
is noccssary 11 tinder way as soon
ay possible. Now that the City Engineer
lias been given more assistarts the prop
erty owners expect these Improvements to
be hastened.
Mock Propertt Sold. Every available
plr-ee of property between Belmont and
Kat Stark streets on Grand avenue has
.hanged hands within the past two
months at advanced figures. Because tho
closing of Grand avenue north of East
Stark street property nortnward has not
t moved as further south, but with the
tmpMlon of the embankment there will
be a jvely movement and a number of
iHilllngs will be put up north of this
Th property sold between Belmont and
Kast Starke streets this season runs up
to $S).orv). which is considered a good
lowing for thows few blocks. Shortly a
three-story brick will b" built on East
Morrison and Grand avenue, and a two
flory brick on Grand avenue and East
T ahington street. The former Is for J.
M. Healer and the later for IL H. New

St. Johns Bond Issue. It te tfcosght j
that the question of 1 sowing ben4s to the '
amount of $18,000 for erection of a City
Hall in SL Johns will get a majority at
the election April 2. It will be necessary
by reason of the recent fire limits ordi
nance, to put up a brick building at the
intersection of Philadelphia and Burling
ton streets, where the city bought prop
erty. The city will be among the first to
submit to the new requirements of that
fire limit ordinance. It is the judgment
of City Attorney Greene that the bonds
are legal and will readily sell. The bid
ders for the other bond issue turned them
down because of certain vague provisions
of the charter. Mayor King Is anxious
that the bonds should be aoted. He calls
attention to the Increasing volume of
business the city is not handling. Street
improvements are being made every
where and sewers are to be built. There
Is no safe place for the city records, and
no place for the Are apparatus. The
bonds are 6 per cents and will run for
10 years.

SCOTTY MAKES A SIG HIT
CURIOUS SEATTLEITES JFIGHT
TO GET INTO 'THEATER.
Death Valley Miner Docs Not Stick
to Lines, but Is Vocifer
ously Applauded.
SEATTLE, March 11. At the Third
Avenue Theater, this afternoon, there
took place the premier performance of
Charles A. Taylor's latest Western play.
"Scotty. King of the Desert Mine." The
play was written around Incidents In the
recent life of Walter Scott, the Death
Valley miner, and Interest was enlivened
by the appearance In a leading role of
Scotty himself, this being his flrst appear
ance on any stage.
Although Scotty chose to add a few
lines to the play on his own account, and
did not at all times follow the dictates
of the stage manager, he proved a sur
prisingly good actor, and was received
witn vociferous applause from all parts
of tho house.
Even with Scott out of the cast, the play
would have caught on with Its audience,
judging from the favor with which Its 11
highly sensational scenes were received.
Scott's wild ride from Los Angeles to
Chicago was faithfully depleted, and his
mule Slim, a pack of Alaskan dogs and
other animals were other features of In
terest. People fought for admission to the the
ater, and all attendance records will be
broken on the week.

T Is not pleasant to speak frigidly of

ity of It. And I cannot recommend
where I do not think It Is deserved. Tne

many, and are booked In a bunch, so the

The "Avenue Girls arc at tne uakcr
this week. Let me tell you the merito
rious features. Olga Orloff sings "-Moonlight,"
that quaint, sad Spanish work of
genius that haunts everybody these days;
and while she sings, if you are expe
rienced, you may see again tne wjmi
ing Carmenclta. the night-orbed Otero,
and dreamily lull your senses In memo
ries of passion-steeped Castillan beauties.
A most liberal display of wcll-chlselcd
female form is there, but don t iook at
the faces. They are hard. Miss DeMar
gives us two or three acceptable familiar
selections, and her voice and manner will
pass muster. A steal of part of the Chi
nese ensemble number from Cohan's
Little Johnny Jones' Is neatly cos
tumed and stunning. The Gregory broth
ers present their excellent hoop-rolllnc
acL Some moving pictures portray In
teresting the kidnaping and subsequent
rescue of a sweet, young- child. Augnst
Murphy and three others. Including one
wholesome-looking woman, sing a new
and taking German specialty, written on
the principle of "the house that Jack
built." Sorao spot light effects, a police
man's and a fireman's marching song
were pleasing. That Is all there Is that
is good. To get these I had to sit through
wilderness of forced fun. stale rough
house, absolute inanity prolonged and
heartrending from the -alleged comedians.
But the audience clapped throughout and
perhaps It knew what It wanted better
than my taste would prescribe. I think
Mr. Baker himself feels like saying to
Mr. Murphy and his stupid attempts at
comic work: "Twenty-three."

XT VERSION of Tolstoi's "Resurrection"

had the blues for a month after the flrst
time I saw Blanche Walsh in It. Now
the version at the Empire is relieved (per
haps not with artistic elan of the highest
sort) by deliberate applications of broad
humor In the character parts, and I must
say that the Innovation is welcome. Miss
Rujacro is a strong actress, with a volco
of potential timbre, and she has that nat
ural strength of manner that almost
amounts to magnetism. Her impersona
tion- of Katusha is Impressive, and Its
greatest fault is Its monotony, a defect
which she can easily remedy by beginning
more reservedly and working up to her
climaxes with a better-arranged predeter
mination. Charles Caulklns, the leading
man, who. of course, took the part of
Prince DImitri. I thought was very good
at times. Mls3 Rujacro bears out her
name In that her hair Is black and her
eyes arc like burning coals, but she falls
short of being beautiful. That Is a com
pliment to her art; for. you know, talent
and beauty seldom are bestowed togethor
In any extraordinary degree.
