Sim mons, road supervisor on the peninsula, has 25 teams at work hauling gravel on tho county roads In the vicinity of St. Johns. Some of the roads extending to Lower St. Johns have been graveled, and these connect with roads that extend to Upper St. John?, giving" access to both sections. The Willamette boulevard has been improved to a connection with Bur lington street and then on through St. Johns In front of the City Hall on toward the north. Gravel is being used for the reason crushed rock cannot be had across the river, although there is a crusher across the Willamette. The ferry there is not now large enough to carry heavy trams across. Gravel has to be hauled four miles for these roads at present, but it is hoped that shortly crushed rock can be brought across the river direct, saving the long hauL The plans are to make extensive permanent improvements on the main county roads on the peninsula, including the Wil lamette and Columbia boulevards and connecting cross roads.

HENRY REED IS NAMED PORTLAND MAX MAY BE CALLED FOK, SEATTLE FAIR. Proposed Alaska-Yukon Exposition for 1009 Assumes Definite Shape. Profit by the Portland Fair. SEATTLE, June 10. (Special.) J. E. Chllberg, president, and I. A. Nadeau, director general of the Alaska-Yukon Ex position, will make a, tour of Alaska this Summer, urging co-operation with Seattle and the "outside" in making a success of the proposed fair in 1909. That is to be the real launching of the big enterprise, for it was originally to exploit Alaska that the exposition was proposed, and it is to show Alaska resources that the di rectors are planning to make the expo sition broad enough to include all the countries bordering on the Pacific. There is sufficient in the Alaska-Yukon Exposition to remind one of the early days of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Sl'DDEN DEATH OF POPULAR YOUNG WOMAN OF USIOJf. The late Miss Grace Wilkinson. VNION, -Or.. June 10. (Special.) Miss Grace Wilkinson, the successful contestant in The Orogonlan Yellow stone Park contest, died here at 6 o'clock this afternoon of appendicitis. It had much the same unpretentious in auguration. It had the same Initial lack of interest. It appealed primarily to dreamers and then, of a sudden, it awakened interest among the prominent business men. of the city. Seattle is taking the lesson the Lewis and Clark fair taught;' is drawing much of its inspiration from the big show of last year. Before the Alaska-Yukon en terprise advanced beyond the exploitation period Henry Reed was called here for conference and later came other officials of the Lewis, and Clark Exposition. Seat tle began learning from Portland and the fact that the election of a secretary is deferred until January has more than mere supposition to leave the impression that the promoters of the 1!H)9 fair expect to invite Henry Reed, to take that post. The Alaska-Y'ukon Exposition is going to be held. Whether it assumes the pro portions of a world's show will be devel oped in the future. Primarly it is to be what the name indicates, an exposition of Alaskan resources. Of secondary import is the effort to make it representative at all countries and states bordering upon the Pacific. Possibly It will broaden suf ficiently to invite the attention of other sections. Federal kid may be asked and it is quite likely that .Seattle will urge an appropriation at the next session of Congress. But that plan is not fully ma tured. Seattle wants a chance in the coming exposition to demonstrate its enterprise. The city is planning to raise a fund of a half million dollars in a single day. That weeks of preparation for the showing will go before is frankly conceded, for the finance committee is planning daily to cover the city thoroughly; to accept the laboring man's $10 stock subscription and gain the big contribution at the same time. With one effort It is hoped to finance the enterprise and much the same plan will be followed here that was suc cessfully tried in Portland. The site for the exposition has not been determined. The State University regents and the people in that section of the city want It located on the university grounds, that some of the buildings may be saved for the school and the landscape garden ing may improve the grounds. The fair is wanted in each of the suburbs offering ground enough, that residence-building may be promoted. It is suggested for al most every section of the city, but the fair directors are not certain of the scope the fair will take and will not ac cept a site until It is known how much room will be required. There will be introduced a feature in the coming exposition that will be novel. No intoxicants are to be sold on the ground. The exposition directors have conceived the Idea that the fair can be made successful without liquors of any kind and there has been exDressed a de termination to avoid conceding such a privilege. It is possible, of course, that the viewpoint may be changed within three years, but the initial plan of elim inating even beer concessions is well de fined. HOMELESS BABIES.

HT" HE ROUNDERS," given last I ' night at the Heilig Theater by the Kendall Musical Company, as every body knows, is vaudeville play, cleverly strung together, filled with sprightly music, funny situations, catchy airs, melodious ensembles, colorful panorama, specialties, individual eccentricities, local gags, most anything that the artists may care to introduce to please, the passing fancy. The theater was crammed full of sympathetic and "intelligent people, who were patient -at the long wait before the curtain rose, but enjoyed the perform ance heartily. It is the first week of a musical comedy season, and the opening, although it was too long an affair, and ran with some friction and unevenness, showed clearly to everyone that the material is there for some delightful light operas, some extremely enticing skits of the musical comedy order, some alluring evenings of musical entertainment such as we all desire. The full company as it appeared last evening has not been together long enough to display fine team work. It was a performance of individual excel lence separate hits and even the chorus was up to the mark at one time and below another. Above all it was evident that there are principals there who can take good care of nearly any opera bouffe or musical comedy that is open to stock. Miss Kendall is a dainty creature who has a voice to match her sweet personality. She is chic, a beauty, a perfect dresser, full of a naive archness that wins you instantly. Her best-received efforts were "Philadelphia Amen," which is no doubt excruciatingly funny to a New Yorker, and "Fishing," in the last act. Miss Tannehlll, fit as a fiddle for grand opera, was a host. Her brilliant, soar ing soprano, her confidence, her genial ity, her finish, took tho house like a whirlwind. She is one artist in a thou sand. Myrtle Vane achieved a fetching characterization in a pickaninny song. But the hit of the performance was Robert Pitkin's Duke de Paty du Clam. An accomplished singer with a rich bary tone voice, and a singularly neat actor, with lots of amusing "business," is he. The audience was well disposed and en thusiastic regarding the entire collection of agreeable stage people, yet It particu larly admired and revelled in Mr. Pitkin. His topical song, "Nothing New," was encored more than any other number on the programme. He is a favorite who would be a favorite on Broadway or in London, Millar Bacon let his resounding, mel low baritone touch high notes, and me dium ones, and also notes ot less latitude tn a fine style and added a familiar sort of up-to-dateness that ingratiated him into my good graces very smoothly. Ben Lodge, who came on from Boston, brought his cold with him and it affected his singing last night, but it did not inter fere with his making McGinnis Pasha an excessively comical individual. He isn't up to Thomas Seabrokke in the part, but he makes a trenchant and fun-provoking Irishman. The chorus is one of the prettiest gath erings of girls that has ever been seen in Portland. Some of them are native daugh ters of Oregon, but the majority of them are from the Southland. They sing, and they dance, and their figures are quite as attractive as their faces which is saying a great deal. I presume that there has not been a better lot of voices in any light opera chorus in town in a long time. The succeeding operas will show the chorus to better advantage, after they have had sufficient time for adequate re hearsal. While we are talking about the chorus, it is well to add that the costuming and lighting effects were fine. Harry B. Smith, who propounded "The Rounders," put some sweet melodies and some interesting concerted numbers into it. As you listened to the tuneful strains, followed the ludicrous vicissitudes of "Priscilla," the prim and bewitching wife who wanted to cure her husband of an infatuation for an actress, as you looked upon twinkling tights, as you heard the caressing melodies, as you roused to the salvos of the inspiring finales, as you fell into appreciation of the antics of the comedians, you excused the waits and the delays and the falling short of musical perfection. You knew that the people had arrived here only Thursday and even as it was, the performance was better than some of the hlgh-pricedi musical comedies which come along on the road in the Winter time. In the last act there were some wonder ful dresses among the people on the stage. The chorus, even, appeared in elaborate evening gowns that were a special "find" of the management from a San Francisco firm .the other day. Some predominant personality usually pervades any happening like this. I should say that this performance is predominated by the following triumvirate: Dainty Lot tie Kendall, the "girl with the radiant eyes," whose face is a wonder of abso lute simplicity, with the very devil shining out of her orbs; Bessie Tannehlll, with her geniality and rippling voice; and Rob ert Pitkin, with his inimitably droll "busi ness." They should successfully and satisfac torily mount and sing all the comic, mu sical productions that they have planned to put on... They have a competent com pany, which, with proper rehearsing, will decisively please. In fact, I was pleased last night, and disappointed also. I could plainly see that the principals were there with fine voices and temperament and stage experience, but they were like a football team com posed of experts who have not played to gether long enough. I could notice that the chorus was a stageful of peaches, and that they can sing like birds. All they need is training night and day. Perhaps I was tired and the perform ance tonight will be as smooth as a pol ished slipper. Considering the prices, we should not carp too much at the fact that the opening opera was burdened with loco motor ataxia. The girls whooped it up once in a while and gave us a taste- of their ginger. The chief-role members made fair records for a first night. But I would advise a general dose of tabasco sauce administered three times an hour until the performance tonight. When the Wednesday matinee comes along this week (they are going to have matinees Wednesday, and Saturdays, and not Sundays) I'll warrant that the aggre gation will be .a slick and perky assem blage of fascinating musical comedians.

SYNOPSIS. Act I Mathew Lawton's drawing room. Ajt II A garret In New York City. Act III Mathew Lawton's office. Act IV Mathew Lawton's drawing-room. A. ROSE'S play that was produced at the Baker Theater yesterday, now called "The Man From the Golden West," is a clean drama of considerable human interest, some good comedy, a little farce, enough pathos, a touch of heart-interest, and it is not lacking in effective lines. It is tense in spots, and lax at other points. On the. whole, it is a good play. The theater-goer can readily feel himself held by the story, and there are plenty of fairly well-developed situations that kindle the enthusiasm. The only serious fault to be found with the effusion' is that it lacks coherence in the concatena tion of its dialogue. It is a simple tale well told, without the fanfare of trumpets that lead one to expect torrential magnificence or su premely enthralling exhibitions of his trionism. It is more as if some dear friend had sat down by your side and recounted the -pathetic, sorrow-laden, strenuous yet laughable and happy-ending struggle of a fine fellow's life, and you had listened while the accomplished raconteur kept you at close attention throughout the recital. The presentation given by the Baker Stock Company was like such an oc currence. And this is due to the texture and pith of the play, as well as to the caliber of the players. The performance reflected credit alike on the author and the actors. There is very little for woman to do in this play, but what there was to do was done capitally. Miss Lawrence was in a sweet, wholesome part that of a devoted daughter of a New York Wall street man a daughter who is true hearted and spirited, sticking to her father when his fortunes are in jeopardy, threading along through the scenes as the beloved girl of the whole episode, and receiving her reward at last in the person of her lover, "The Man From the Golden West," in a cleverly contrived comedy scene wherein Miss Lawrence prettily proposes to Edgar Baume and is accepted. Miss Lawrence, dressed in white, with her impressive comeliness of feature and her blonde hair and grace of carriage, was winning, and the quiet skill with which she -handled the part made a pleasant streak' of refinement in the dramatic picture. But the backbone of the piece, of course, is James Errol, the man from the West,' impersonated by Mr. Baume. Edgar Baume is so good an actor, and so strong in his accomplishments, that I venture a word as to how his work looks to me "from the front." His per sonality is so genuine and so tempera-, mentally impressive that his audience instantly is ready to thrill with his simu lated emotions and is predisposed in his favor by his generous supply of. good looks. He is a distinctly- handsome man, and has a manly figure which means that every living Soul in his audience is willing to believe him charming. He has won a great hold ori the Portland public, naturally and legitimately, and he de serves the success. He is so good an actor that he subjects himself to the highest expectations. His most valuable asset is his wonderful voice sympathetic, resonant, ringing, thrilling. But, Just as a singer gifted beyond the measure of ordinary mortals must wrestle more than a mediocre vocalist, so must Edgar Baume learn to control and manipulate his splendid voice and his abounding earnestness and energy so as to produce artistically the best effects possible to so gifted a man. He habitually makes the fatal mistake of beginning a speech, or dialogue, or scene, in too high-pitched a key. One can have no difficulty in fol lowing the flow of his mind, as he thinks out the role and develops it before you. You are closely en rapport with him in his impersonation. But he reaches a climax before it should come, and thus his performance is apt. to be marred continually with anti-climaxes. He 'arrives at the very limit of strenuous utterance and there is no place to go beyond that, and still the meaning of his lines has not yet come to an end, and he has more and more to say. In such a predicament the full and proper force of the scene is not exerted, and some times the actor has recourse to flounder ing. The rises and falls of inflection, the gauge of the tempo, the suiting the tone and the amount of wind to the pur port of the passage, the knowledge of the voyage of words that you are under taking at the moment, and the harbor you are bound to land in, is the essential thing that the highest-class actor, like Mr. Baume, must be mindful of in order to accomplish the best that he is capable of. This is worked out by Mr. Baume in his role of James Errol. with signal merit in some acts, and he errs in the 'way I have indicated at other mountain peaks of the play. If he would, begin light, remember the magic importance of preserving the idea of reserve power, and reach his climaxes with a surer in genuity, he would be on his way to Mansfleldian heights. The directness and simplicity of the play are among its most conspicuous and meritorious characteristics. Errol comes back to New York from life in tike West, finds the girl playmate of his youth, be friends her brother in poverty, backs up the old father when stocks are about to ruin him, traps the villain, and then wants to go back to the free air of the plains. But he Is intercepted by the superior- courage of the woman who loves. Baume carries out the role with fine aptitude and breeziness you feel the large atmosphere of the mesa, the bald sincerity of the frontier. In the life' of the people of the play in the metropoli tan center we have plenty of fun.

It is all reasonable comedy and attractive characterization, in which all the play ers named acquit themselves with credit and unction. I liked the play and wanted the performance to be somewhat less ragged. Mr. Byers makes me nervous. He is a genial, competent actor who does not seem to have confidence in his mem ory. I should study harder at my lines if I did not "feel certain. Mr. Harris blew in; as the wild Westerner who saves the day by bringing news that the San Diablo mine was a winner after all. He was Errors pard. and he gave a shade too much of the out-doors ring and roughness. Mr. Dills' make-up as a sporty down-East church warden who goes to the races in full panoply of scarlet waistcoat, "white hat, checkered suit and field-glasses made the pictorial hit. Mr. Sainpolls received a -high com pliment as the villain. He tangled up the audience in a race of applause versus hisses. That means that he made the villain a man with whom many sympa thized, and the audience divided: up to see who could get the best of the contest of opinions. SCOTTISH RITE REUNION.

Foiled in an attempt to rob Mrs. Emma Dudley, who keeps a fruitstand at 1S8 Burnside street, a robber last night turned upon the woman and attempted to choke her into insensibility, but was frightened by her screams and managed to escape before Policeman Wanless arrived. Mrs. Dudley, who was alone in her shop, heard the prowler behind her living-rooms in the rear, and upon investigation dis covered that he was trying the door to gain entrance. Mrs. Dudley opened the door, and upon seeing the man screamed. He grabbed her by the throat and at tempted to throttle her. Then becoming frightened he desisted and made his es cape through a cellar-way. Policeman Wanless searched the, base ment and the docks for the robber, but failed to discover him. PERSONALMENTION.

Nelson Allen, pastor of the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church, East Side, spoke last night on the recent elec tion. He gave a review of the work of the church member working alongside of the politician. Dr. Allen contended in his sermon last night that it was the duty of every Christian man to enter politics as one way to promote civic purity and civic righteousness. His contention was that if left to the politicians who make politics as business to run the government there is no hope of reform or for better condi tions. Dr. Allen said he did not think ft proper for the church as an organization to enter politics or indorse candidates, but he de clared it the duty of the church member and the Christian man, to do his part for civic righteousness. He pointed out what was accomplished in the recent election by the defeat of the local option amendment, which he declared was due because Chris tian men and women went into politics for civic reform and accomplished their ends.
