IMPROVE DAWSON AVENUE
University Board of Trade AV1H Start
the Preliminaries.
The University Board of Trade will
take up Uiis evening the matter of mak
ing a first-class improvement of Dawson
avenue between St. Johns and Portland
boulevard. M. L. Holbrook. a property
owner of SL Johns, is urging that Daw
son avenue be improved. Between SL
Johns to Northern Hill, the city limits
of Portland, the avenue is 60 feet wide,
but may be widened to SO feet to con
form to the rest of the street. Dawson
Is SO feet wide from Northern Hill to
Peninsular station, near which it merges
into and becomes part of Pippin street.
W. J. Pcddicord. president of the Uni
versity Board of Trade. Is very enthusias
tic over the Improvement of Dawson
avenue, for the reason it cuts through
the central portion of that section and
will connect with all the other boule
vards and other Important streets.
There will have to bo two separate im
provementsone in St. Johns to the Port
land city boundaries, and also from that
point to Peninsular and then beyond,
which is under the jurisdiction of the
Portland Council. A special committee
will be appointed by the Board of Trade
to set In motion this extensive improve
ment, both in SL Johns and in Portland.

GIM SENG MEETS MASTER
CHINATOWN'S STRONG MAN VAN
QUISHED BY LIGHTWEIGHT.
Wah Sam HcMs Celestial Sandow In
Wclclu-Carrylnp Contest Wins
Banquet for His -i-'rlcnds.
Glm Seng, the strong man of China
town, who weighs 200 "pounds in his
brocaded silk dressing- gown and has a
muscular development that Sandow
might envy, will boast no more. His
banner has been dragged in the dust
and his glory has departed. And to
to make matters worse, his title as
champion all-around athlete of Second
street was ignominiously wrested from
him by little Wah Sam. who tips the
scales at less than 1.1 r pounds and
who until yesterday was unknown to
fame In the Celestial athletic world.
Gim Seng's downfall, like that of
many a strong man before him, was
due to the gradual enlargement of his
cranium consequent upon n series of
easy victories over aspirants for the
title he enjoyed. He had become over
confident and through overindulgence
in chop suey and other Oriental deli
cacies had allowed himself to grow
stale. And then his finish rang- the
door bell.
Yesterday afternoon, while a num
ber of his countrymcnt were sunning
themselves on the bright side of Sec
ond avenue it struck Gem Seng- that
the time was propitious to win a Ilttlo
easy money, and accordingly he shoul
dered two 100-pound bags of rice and
pranced lightly into the circle of sun
bathers, offering to bet a swell dinner
for the crowd that he could carry the
two bags of grain further, without
topping to rest, than any son of
heaven In Portland", catch-as-catch-can,
no holds barred, and the winner to
take the rice.
"You're on." or Its Cantonese equiva
lent, was the prompt response of Wah
Sam, who It may be, had been laying
for just such a challenge, and without
stopping even to spit in his hands, ho
threw one of the bags of rice on each
shoulder and trotted away down the
stroct with a grace and case that made
Glm Seng- gasp for breath.
At the end of two blocks Wah Sam
was staggering under his load and was
forced to drop it. Then came the
champion's turn. He swunc the bags
lightly to his broad shoulders and set
out bravely toward the jcoal. but it
soon oecamc apparent that he was
doomed to defeat. The perspiratleto
rolled down his yellow forehead and
he tolled on till his almond eyes wersij
fairly standing out of his head with
unaccustomed exertion. But he couM
not make it. Nearly a blo'ck short $f
the .mark set by his opponent he drop
ped the bags and confessed himself
vanquished.
Last night in Gim Seng's bachelor
apartnfents there were the lights of
many lanterns and a smell of baking,
boiling and stewing: such as the rooms
hadn't known since Chinese New Year.
And in the seat of' honor at Gim Seng's
bountiful table sat Wah Sam. the new-
champion weight-carrier of the Chin
cse quarter.

ROLE In which there Is Impressive
character typical, fundamental
traits that reach our understanding.
quickly rccognlzablo and skillfully de
lineated by the actor is always destined
for a long popularity.
Such Is "Ole Olson." the title part of
the play with which Ben Hendricks re
turned last night to the Empire Theater
for a week s run. Since the days when
Joe Emmctt yodclcd and smiled and won
his way to every heart with the pathos
and sweetness and honesty of "Fritz"
there has been no one better in the line
of the Swede than Hendricks. For 12
years he has bcn coming- to Portland
with Swedish plays, and In each we meet
him again with a never-faiHBg gladsome'
welcome. He brings the pathetic and
the neble. the touching and the true, the
comedy aid t.U&jc afr gts of. knre, the
sincerity oX-jtauich hearts, all close to
gether.'' ilia laugh Is enticing, hi voice
aad'his falsetto wing- his songs melod
iously to our cars. Every one of his ad
mirers goes back, again and again, to
feel the mellowing influence of his really
fine impersonations. He has a. few new
songs this year, and the Empire was
packed with the Olson following.
I suppose there is not an intelligent
dog in town but knows the story of the
play, to say nothing of the general popu
lace. The play is for the masses, and
must appeal to the experienced as well
as to the unlettered and primitive, so the
farcical clement must be strong and raw
when It Is introduced, the contrasts must
be vivid; the villains hlsslngly villain
ous, the members of the supporting com
pany a trifle coarse In their work. That
Is the result produced by the people who
weave the group of events around Ole;
and the laughs, the tears, the enthusiasm
elicited would stir the stoutest worldling.
It struck me that Miss Bertie Conway
was a particularly wholesome soubrcttc,
by the way.
Next year Mr. Hendricks Is to make
his entry Into another line that of the
German comedian character work. A
new play Is being written for him bv
Margaret Merrington. the author of that
lovely play. "Captain Lcttcrblalr." Mr.
Hendricks Is a German by birth and this
should be the beginning of a fresh scries
of successes. Even Jaded commercial
travelers have been known to go and
see "Ole Olson" a dozen times, and desire
to go once mow. But that only means
that human nature stands the test of
time. "Ole Olson" Is a genuine man and
is true to himself. We never grow tired
of that kind of a man.

Captain Bruin, who has taken a per

on several other occasions when sus

with a revolver and robbed his cash
register. After looking at Williams
carefully he saw that two of his front
teeth were mlsslngr. He then declared
that there was no doubt but that Wil

Glutsch asked Captain Bruin to con
verse with the suspect. When he heard
Williams' peculiar voice he had no hes

stood before him.
Scwtll. it is declared positively, was
with Williams when the register was
broken open. Williams, however, it is
said, covered the bartender with a re

the city at the timo of the holdup. Pa

BUST GASTLE ROCK
Owners Are Determined
Continue Work-
to
USE ROCK COMMERCIALLY
H. J. BIddIc Says Ho Is Doinp "o
More Than Hallway and Tim
ber Men Arc, In Furthering
Their Interests.
Notwithstanding the many expressions
of disapproval of the work of blasting
Castle Rock to piece, the work of de
molition 19 steadily going on. Injunctions
that are reported to have issued in the
Washington courts have not yet been
served upon the owners, nor have they
delayed in the least the. preparation for
the explosion of 120 tons of powder In
tended to spilt oft a shoulder of the
mountain. Portland men who own the
rpek have heard nothing of the injunc
tions issued except what they have read
in the newapapens and they doubt If any
court can prevent them from doing as
they like with their own property, so
long as their action? do not harm or In
jure another.
The principal owners of Castle Rock ,
arc Henry J. BIddle, who lives nenr the
Rock; John Kiernan, Dan Kerns and
Chnrlcs Ladd, ail of Portland. The for
mer three own the controlling Interest In
the Columbia Contract Company, while
Sir. Ladd owns one-third of the rock.
What H. J. BIddIc Says.
In a statement giving his side of the
case. Mr. Biddlc said:
"Castle Rock Is MO feet high by 600 feet
wide on the river side, and ICO) feet
deep. There arc 20.O30.CO) cubic yards of
material in it. or 40.C0O.0CO tons of rock.
It Is proposed to break off from one side
a small portion of the whole mountain
that will probably measure l.C0O.O cubic
yards, or 2.000.CCO tons. This Is only 3
per cent of the whole rock and will not
detract from the scenic attractions of the
crag, for the. part to be broken off Is now
concealed from the river side by cotton
wood trees situated on an Island in front.
The change to be made by this blast will
bc hardly noticeable.
"The Portland & Seattle Railroad Is
now blowing down the cliffs along the
north bank of the Columbia with dyna
mite and the beauty of Cape Horn has
already been much defaced. The timber
along tho river is being cut down and
burned. We realize this- work is unavoid
able and will benefit the City of Port
land, and the property-owners of the city
ar glad the work is being done, being
willing to sacrifice sentiment as long as
the work helps them financially. A great
deal of the wealth of Portland Is due to
the destruction of the primeval forests
around Portland, and no cry has been
raised, although if a stranger now expects
to see an Oregon forest In Its primeval
beauty he must take a packhors-2 and go
backj Into the mountains. We consider
our work Is of Just as much Importance
as that of the tlmberman or railroad
builder, and wc do not see why we are
picked out for attack and wc.do not sec
why our work should be misrepresented
and exaggerated. The O. R. & N. Com
pany. In straightening Its track from
Troutdale to Bonneville, will blow up the
cliffs .along It? route and demolish many
of the beauty spots on the river, but wc
realize them things are nccessar.t. The
amount of rock to be blasted down In this
blast will be so great that four or five
years will be necessary to rqmove 1L"
Cliarlcs Lndd's Statement.
Charles Ladd, who owns one-third of
the rock, made the following statement
of his connection with the work:
"From my first connection with the
rock, I have had a desire to keep It In
tact, but whether this can be done. I do
not know. I went Into the. proposition
with the Idea of preserving the rock, but
I have learned since that the stone will
probably actually be needed for Jetty pur
poses. Since 1 acquired an interest in it.
Castit Rock has become valuable as
quarry.
"Attention was first called to its use for
jetty materials by the United States en
gineers, who asked to have it put to that
use. I refused to accede to their propo
sition and they then asked to have the
loose rock at the base taken for the Jetty,
i and I again refused. What will be done
by the other owners, I do not know, as I
am acting as trusteo for them and have
only one-third interest in tho rock and
have not tho control.
"Tho other owners acquired two-thirds
of the property at the time I secured one
third of It and my principal purpose in
getting an interest was to keep it irom
being ouarricd at that time. I did not
suppose at that time it would be needed,
but I have been Informed by Major Lang-
fltt. of the United States engineers, that
rock suitable for Jetty purposes Is scarce
along the Columbia River and he was
anxious to secure Castle Rock to put Into
the Jetty. I think It Is odd that with all
the rock along the Columbia, so little of
it Is first-class material, but It seems to
bo the case. Tho Government engineers
were quite anxious to have .that rock for
Jetty building.
"I realize .these things have to yield to
the exigencies of the situation. I per
sonally would like to see the rock re
main where it Is. but If the progress of
the Northwest demands it. it must be
taken down."
