Captain 8. B. Jones has started con struction o an extensive dock on the outride of his present dock at the foot of Belmont s tret. on which he -will place large coal bunkers for handling Coos Bay and Cold Creek coal. Joseph Supple and F. W. Leadbetter are making ar rangements to erect a dock S50 feet long and 60 feet wide to extend up the river from Morrison brldgp. The river will be dredged to a sufficient depth for large ship. Mr. Supple Is having plans drawn up for a five-story brick to be erected on East Water street, between Belmont and East Taylor, with a. 100-foot frontage on East Water and SO feet deep toward the river. The frame building now taking up this ground will be moved further west to make room for this brick.

Riley is erecting a two-story frame structure, and the O. W. P. south of Hawthorne avenue is building a trestle lor additional car barn. Easter at the T. W. a A. The Easter celebration of the Young Women's Chris tian Association was qne of the most successful at homes given by this popu lar organization during the season, and. was attended by an unusual number of young women guests. The fact that the Lakme Quartet furnished the musical programme was in itself an attraction, and this well-known group of vocalists pleased as it always does. The several numbers were enthusiastically encored, and every appreciation shown of the per formance. Mrs. W. A. T. Bushong and Mrs. May Dearborn Schwab ot the quartet sang solos, and there were splendid readings by Mrs. J. P. Morgan and Miss Eugenie Craig. Miss Mac Corkl made "her usual address and In stilled much timely advice and common sense In her talk on "Thirst for God." The association announces that the Wed nesday evening English classes for for eign girls arc becoming unusually Inter esting and la a class of about 20 girls, five nationalities being represented. The night for these classes was originally Friday, but it was changed to Wednes day to suit the majority of girls. Opposes Purchase op Plant. A re monstrance has been filed at Estacada against the purchase of the watfr plant of that place and will come up before the Council April 17. This matter has at tracted considerable interest. The Coun cil had nearly completed the purchase of the- plant, and the contract was ready for the signatures of the Officers for X70W. which includes the pumping station. It was expected to change to a gravity system as soon as popsible, and save the cost of pumping. Tho remonstrance sets, forth that the price is too high, that the plant is not worth 57000. and that J4000 would install as good a plant as the one it is proposed to purchase. As it was threatened to .shut down the plant, the Council seemed to think It was compelled to accept tho terms, and Issue ?10.WW bonds to pay for it and make extensions. Easter at Receiving Home. Easter Bunday was observed at the Receiving Home of the "Boys' and Girls AJd Society yesterday, the children all attending services at tho Central Baptist Church, Twentieth and Ankeny streets.

Eater Sunshine Bring Out Xetr Hats and Gowns. - When the sun shone out in all his glory yesterday morning many hearts were made glad In Portland, for Easter is pre eminently a holiday which demands bright skies to make It a complete success. Nev er has Portland been more beautiful at Easter tide than this year, and never has such a concourse of beautifully-gowned women and well-groomed men turned out to attend church and join in society's street parade for the day. It was a parade all day long, from early morning until dark. A holiday on which every one enjoyed himself and Joy was the keynote As early as 7 o'clock citizens were out en joying quiet strolls in the bright spring sunshine, and little children wended thelr way to the Sunday schools. Later family parties appeared on the streets and the churches were soon filled to overflowing. It has been freely remarked that there has never been such a season for color as the present one, and the bright hues of the Easter finery which appeared on the streets yesterday bore out this slate- CAS INQUIRY rOSTPOXED. Til trn Inoulrv Yin Thn rtnstnoneil until a week from tomorrow night by tbe special committee of the Council which Is making the investigation. ment in every particular. A few seasons ago tailored street gowns of light or deli cately-colored materials were not dreamed of, but the spring suit of today is of rose pink, various shades of light blue, pale green, lavender or heliotrope, and every shade of gray. Dashing gray, or black and white plaids, attracted the eye here and there in the crowds, and these. Inter mingled with the bright colors, made the passing show kaleidoscopic. The millinery was not to be overlooked In the pageant on Portland's streets yes terday. How many thousands of dollars were represented in the new hats no mere man can guess. The price of a bat cannot bo gauged by its me, and the fact that a perky little bunch of flowers resting over my ladys eyebrow looks small Is no indication that the price was In line The hats of the season are decidedly pert and the garden of flowers which grew on each "creation" added to the dazzling color schemes. Washington street wa the Mecca of the paraders yesterday, and It was uncom fortably crowded for a few hours. When matinee time arrived, however, many dropped Into the theaters to spend an hour or so. while others wended their way to the parks or took car rides Into the suburbs. Nature looked almost as gay as the Easter crowds, with the fruit trees in full bloom, and the fresh new green of the grass ana shrubbery. The decorations of the various churches were most favorably commented on by congregations attending. Easter and St. Joseph lilies were used In most Instances, the pure white. of these beautiful flow ers being offset by foliage of various kinds. In the Cathedral an Immense cross fashioned of lilies and electric lights hung over the altar. At Trinity. the Cathedral and many of the Protestant churches, the congregations could not be accommodated. Portland is always In the front when it comes to flowers, and yesterday she outdid herself in this respect. The stroll ers on the streets and tbe patrons of the theaters wore bouquets of fragrant flow ers, and people lingered to admire the tulips, hyacinths and flowering shrubs in yards and lawns. Festivities which always follow Lent "begin today, and the coming weeks prom ise to be very gay In Portland. This afternoon society will go to the annual Easter tea given at the Hobart Curtis by the Old Ladles Home Society, and there 1r some hie event scheduled for every day. the Veck ending with a ball at the Irvlngton Club Friday night. FOR BENEFIT OF FIREMEN Crowded House for Performance of "Monsieur Beaucaire' Assured. A capacity house Is assured for the evenings performance or the comedy drama. "Monsieur Beaucaire." which is to be given at the Hellig this evening by Creston Clarke and his excellent com pany for the benefit of the Portland fire department hospital fund. The Musicians Union will turn out from IJb to 100 strong at noon today to parade for the purpose of advertising the benefit. In the parade the musicians will prob ably be Joined by Truck Company No. 1 of the fire department, which did auch splendid service at the Chamber of Com merce Are. In the matler of selling tickets for this performance both the policemen and fire men, who handled them, found a ready demand, and had no trouble In disposing of all tbe tickets allotted them. Those who would secure good eats should ex change their tickets at the box office of the theater as soon as possible, for the house has been nearly disposed of. and those who come" late may not have an opportunity of getting seats tonight. In order that none shall .miss this show, the management of the theater has ar ranged to accommodate thote w-ho fail to secure seats for tonight at tomorrow evening's performance HOLDS ORDINATION SERVICE Three Elders and Four Deacons Or dained at St. Johns Church.

It is the play that Booth Tarklngton and Miss Sutherland prepared for Richard Maafleld, and Mr. Clarke played it here at the Marquara Theater last year. It Is laid In the time of Louis XV. The Due d'Orleans goes orer to- England and fools around as Monsieur Beaucairc. and later on as a nobleman: plays cards, flgbtn- duels, baits the nabobs, etc.. and all of thin In the siege for the heart of beautiful Lady Mary Carlisle, of George It's court. Sil ver buckles, silk stockings, powdered hair. patches, picturesque costumes, attractive stage settings, excellent acting, crisp and telling lines in a well-built play, nicely flavored with comedy, make up an ex tremely pleasing two hours for anyone who has a heart capable of being touched and an artistic eye There Is nothing overstrenuous about the situations, but they are dramatic enough to hold the interest, and the adventurous and com pletely courageous spirit of the hero com pels one s sympathy and enthusiasm. Mr. Clarke has increased In finish since he was last here. His flawless assump tion of the Gallic twist to the pronoun ela tion of English, maintained with abso lutely uninterrupted perfection through every phrase of his ISO-sldcd part, was a noteworthy exploit of masterly tech nique. The fact that he is a nephew ot Edwin Booth renders us little surprised to find that he Is a remarkably intelligent and painstaking artist wth truest . In stincts and fine accomplishments. His finesse comes naturally to him. Ha voice rings true. He never exaggerates. He holds you, and his whole conception or ma mimic task Is graceful and charm ing. He hasn't the strength of Sothern. for Illustration: but he has more of the genuinely Inspirational spark about him. So far as he goes, and he goes a good ways, ne is spontaneous, and not im! tatlvc He Is unquestionably one of our Dett young romantic actors. The approach to richness of the pro duction, and the above-averace standard of Mr. Clarke's support (notably the icaaing woman, aiiss Nell McEwen. whose voice Is exactly like Lucia Moore's) was an agreeable eyeopener to me. Mr. Murry is not noted for his generosity in the matter of accessories or the al lowance of sufficient salaries to tempt actors of superior ability. He? must hv had an attack of good Judgment and lib erality when be organized Mr. Clarke's company. "Monaleur Beaucaire" will be given tonight at the Firemen's benefit rpcclal performance and tomorrow. A. H. BALLARD, GIVEN A FIRE DIPLOMA Fred V. Warner Is Honored by Chief Campbell.

Some features deserve more than pass ing comment of a favorable kind, even where the whole was resonably good. The Fcrrell brothers, in their cycle tricks. were exceptionally clever, and some of the old-fashioned ballads of Miss Agnes Mahar, officially designated as the "Irish Nightingale" evidently touched a popular chord.

It may be the Interest in Southern life that is grounded In tradition, song and fiction. or It may be tbe beauty ot the soft South ern accent, or the suggestion ef balmy breezes and bright skies. Whatever it Is, It is possessed in no little degree by "Roanoke." which opened to crowded bouses at the Empire yesterday. "Roanoke always draws well, and Ik is the kind of play that people will go more than once to see No doubt many who attended the Empire yesterday had seen It before, but they enjoyed every line of It again. There Is Just enough crime and Intrigue to fascinate without repelling, and there are lines of real .humor, with out a' word to offend the most sensitive. It's the good old story where honor, vir tue and self-sacrifice triumph over craft and greed, but It Is told in & wa7 that brings out a lesson. While the plot Is Interwoven with the life of Roanoke Peyton, the daughter of a Southern Colonel, who Is stricken with temporary blindness, the leading charac ter of the cast In the presentation at the Empire Is Ezeklel More, the cause ot all he? misfortunes, as well as. those of her brother. This part Is taken by Richard Scott, who brings out all there is In It. His love for gold, which is the cause of his disregard for the lives or happiness of all around him. stamp him as a villain who gets the thorough hatred of the. audi ence.
