Pays Off Bonds. Directors of the
Montavllla School District, as their last
official act, paid off 3000 bonds that were
bearing 7 per cent Interest. These bonds
run for 10 years, and were paid off a
little in advance of their maturity, but
at the rate of interest they carried for
10 years, the total Interest charge was
J-'lOO, over two-thirds of the amount of the
principal. The total amount of bonds is
sued by this school district was $11,500,
and the average Interest was 64 per
""cent, part being .7 per cent and part 6
per cent. During the life of the district
it paid out In interest alone nearly J7000
This covered a period of about
fourteen years, or since the schoolhouse
was built. South Mount Tabor carried J
eww in uuuua duuui live ycaia hi u j m-l
cent, then paid it off in two levies and
saved the big Interest charge.
Georoe C. Brownell to Speak.
George C. Brownell has been selected as
the orator for the Fourth of July celebra
tion at Estacada. Brown's Band, of
Portland, has been engaged to furnish
music. The school children will take
part. Arrangements have been made for
one railroad fare on the electric railway,
and the last car for Portland will leave
Estacada at 12 o'clock midnight. The
following young women are candidates
for goddess of liberty: Rstacada Ava
Lovelace, Linda Womer and Nelva Green;
Currlnsville Freda Duus; Sprlngwater
Walvo Luellen; Oregon City Nora Hani
fin and Ethel Green. A spirited contest
Is under way, and many votes are being
cast.
Raises White Strawberries. S. L.
Ellis, who lives at St. Johns, has raised
a large patch of what he calls the White
Elephant strawberry, a large, white va
riety. The color is a creamy white and
the flavor is superior to that of the or
dinary red berry. Mr. Ellis has 5000
bearing plants and the plants give evi
dence of being proline. This berry is
similar to the white strawberry W. H.
Magoon was developing on his Gravel Hill
y farm. He died before he had fully de
veloped the variety. Mr. Magoon had
made good progress In producing this new
white strawberry, and it is probable that
this variety Mr. Ellis Is raising is the
same.
New Principal Elected. The direct
ors of the Estacada School District
elected J. E. Stubb principal and Miss
Mae Stephens, of Brownsville, as teach
er of the intermediate and primary room.

clerk. A 5-mlll tax was levied on the
assessed valuation of the district. J100,

be ready for the opening of school this
Fall.

MAY GET CITY RATES.
Committees From Xew Territory to
Ask Bull Run Water.
Joint committees from the Mount Tabor
and the Montavllla push clubs will petl
tlon the city water board to furnish that
portion of the city with Bull Run water
through the mains of the Mount Tabor
water works, and to take over that plant
as soon as It can be done. Mount Tabor
Improvement Association has already ap
pointed Us committee, and it remains for
Montavllla Improvement League to name
its committee. J. M. Arthur, owner of the
Mount Tabor water plant, will join these
two sections in its request for Bull Run
water, and these committees are ex
pected to go a step further and esk the
"Water Company to acquire the local
plant.
Mr. Arthur at the meeting of the Mount
Tabor Improvement Association offered
to sell his plant to the city at once and
on easy conditions. That is, he would let
the water committee take his plant and
collect money from the consummers to
pay for It. The value of the plant Is to
be estimated from the income. This prop
osition wjll doubtless be submitted when
these Joint committees confer with the
City Water Committee.
If Bull Run water Is given the people
of Mount Tabor and Montavllla. and the
local plant Is not taken over at once. It
will cut the water rates for that com
pany In half, for city rates will then have
to be charged the people. C. H. Raffety,
member of the water board, made that
plain in his talk before the Mount Tabor
Improvement Association Friday even
ing. He said that the charter would
not allow the city to furnish the water
Into any portion of the city at higher
rates than are charged in other portions
of the city, and as Mount Tabor and
Montavllla are now part of Portland they
were entitled to the same water rates as
other sections.
It is thought that amicable arrange
ments will be the outcome of the pro
posed conference by which this new sec
tion of Portland, may get Bull Run water
and city rates.
POISON IN PRESCRIPTION
Woman Patronizes Department Store
and Has Narrow Escape.
MILWAUKEE. Wis., June 24. (Spe
cial.) Mrs. Kate Burton, of 1313 Chestnut
street, went to a department store today
to get a prescription for Epsom salts
filled and received what the Health De
partment has analyzed as carbonate of
potash. She narrowly escaped death by
misreading the prescription and taking a
smaller quantity than ordered by her
physician.
Now the Health Department has begun
a crusade against the handling of drugs
by grocery and department stores. This
may eventually assume National propor
tions, according to Commissioner Bading.
He declares he will go to the Legislature
If necessary to gain his point.
CARD OF THANKS.
I wish to extend many thanks to the
Book-Binders' Union, Portland Fire De
partment and Knights of the Maccabees
for their assistance during the sickness
and death of my husband, Ralph A,

SOMETHING extraordinary is going
on at the Helllg Theater.
There is no doubt about It, and I am
going to try and tell you what it is.
The surprisingly superb character of the
musical entertainment there this week,
and the moderate size of the audience last
night constitute the astounding facts to
which I allude. Of course It was an ex
tremely hot evening at the opening of
"The Telephone Girl," and the allure
ments of the hills, the river, the glades,
even airy verandas, drew people away
from the theater. But this did not ac
count for all the lack of patrons. It
would be an adequate reason for a cur
tailed "house," but It is not sufficient to
reasonably account for a thin "heuse."
Either the people are not aware of the
splendid performance that is being given
there, or it is too good and fine in qual
ity for the present mood and sense of
appreciation of the Portland public.-
I was almost on the point of saying
that I would advise you to stay away;
that you are doing Just right in not attending-
the performances of the Kendall
Musical Company; that they are too good
for the temporarily unreasonable (not to
say Inane) state of the public mental
sense. It Isn't a mile from a lemon, and
it Is not an inconvenient distance from
any urban domicile. But it will not walk
up to your front lawn, and it requires a
street-car ride to reach It from the aver
age citizen's home. But that matter, the
subject of the accessibility. Is usually
overcome without turning a hair by near
ly every one when he really wishes to
attend a show.
I believe the reason why some lethargy
is displayed in crowding these perform
ances of the Kendall Company as they
deserve to be crowded is the fact that
the price of seats Is not up to the usual
altitude exacted by the ordinary road
touring musical comedy companies.
Take last night, for example. There
were present a goodly number of wise
ones a fair-sized assemblage of inhabi
tants who know and like meritorious light
opera and a satisfying company. But the
large multitude of music-lovers, the In
numerable horde of people who enjoy mu
sic and fun, and who can better afford to
attend small-priced amusements were not
there. And of course the majority of that
strange element who go only where they
feel instinctively that there will be a
dressy or fashionable throng were also
absent, as the latter did not recognize
last night's performance as one of the big
musical comedy "attractions" that come
and go and simply furnish an excuse for
a gathering of well-dressed idlers.
Yet here are the facts:
"The Telephone Girl," as everybody
knows. Is a pleasing, sprightly musical
comedy, with enough catchy airs, an ex
ceptionally taking entourage, filled with
pretty numbers, Just the sort that has
always been popular. The stage settings
are amply attractive; the principals as
good as the best of the road companies
who demand (and get) more money from
the public than this company asks; Bes
sie Tannehall, a far better soprano than
any woman who has appeared in musical
comedy here, or any light opera. In years,
a woman perfectly fit for grand opera: a
scene In the second act which has not
been duplicated as to gorgeous gowns and
beautiful women since Anna Held was
here, and this same Bessie TannehiU to
lead them in song.
Again, an octet of men's voices sang
the "Old Oaken Bucket" and "Old Heidel
berg" in a way that reminded me of the
night when the men sang In Mansfield's
production, and the time when Stoddart
had the Scotch fellows sing in "The Bon
nie Briar Bush."
Lottie Kendall made hit after hit. Mil
lar Bacon and Myrtle Vane gave the best
burlesque on operatic productions that
we have had here for a month of Sundays.
The whole length and breadth and snb
stance of the opera and Its fetching inter
polations, together with the strikingly ar
tistic efforts of the chorus thrown in,
was more than good. ' It would make the
people enthusiastic m Broadway. It is
not a perfect singing of opera bouffe, but
it is a positive treat to any one who likes
music and really competent light-opera
artists.
The biggest joke on the public is that
some people who stayed away from last
night's opening thought that the theater
would be too warm. The Heilig was as
cool as one could desire. "The Telephone
Girl" -runs all this week, witn matinees
Wednesday and Saturday.

M
ADAMB SANS-GENE" is
pieasing ana ornate comedy. It
was produced yesterday for the
current stock week at the Baker theater
by a hard-working leading woman and a
company sweltering in elaborate costumes
before an audience clothed In the gauzy
whiteness of midsummer. Electric fans
kept the zephyrs moving and cooled the
brows of onlookers, as the rather re
splendent comedy went through its course.
There are several elements of appealing
interest in the play that attract the
casual theater-goer. The scene is laid
for the most part In an hour, or a day, of
the great Napoleon's life, when he by a
word, could make, or break, or kill, or
advance anybody aiound him. It sets
forth the strength, the subtlety, the In
genuity, the truth of soul, the vulgarity,
the natural vigor, the Innate womanhood,
the burning animalism of Catherine Hub
scher (nicknamed Madame Sans-Gene by
her Intimates who knew that she cared
not a rap for anything this side of Pan
darus) who afterwards, by marrying a
sergeant, goes down, or up, which ever
way a moralist or student of ethical his
tory may deem it, into the intriguing and
bad-ordored court circles of France at the
beginning of the nineteenth centry.
The play is the picture of what Bhe does
with those' silk-lined and Empire-gowned
termagants, scandal-mongers, syco
phants, parvenues, berlbboned man-milliners,
mondatnes, soldiers, diplomats, pre
tenders, spit, the gariegated concatena
tion of assorted monstrosities that sur
rounded Napoleon.
Sardou made Madame Sans-Gene
enough for the entire batch, and in Miss
Lawrence s hands the woman never
leaves us in doubt of her abundant ability
to cope with the devil, the liars, the she-
devils and the male schemers that beset
her. It is an instructive- study on the
doings and the undertow as. well as the
surface, of that warlike and unsettled
time.
The gradations of character, the meta
morphosis of bourgeois to noblesse, to
royalty, to who-knows-what, is artistical
ly drawn by the master-hand of the great
French dramatist, and the play Is in
adequate surety of execution when It is
presented by the Baker Company.
We can always Bee most clearly the
tragic quality that underlies a situation
when the comic side is thrust forward.
Thus may we gain, without realizing it.
the serious and tremendous straits of the
empire, from this humorous study of the
life of a washerwoman who cleaned Na
poleon's linen, marched with his army as
a vlvandiere, became a duchess and was
always a true and enthusiastically loving
woman.
Miss Lawrence reached the feelings of
her audience with commendable celerity
yesterday when breezily she delineated
the role of Sans-Gene. when even at the
outset she showed her leadership in her
own wash-house among the short-skirted
and quite fascinating coterie of blan
cheuses, -when she braved her sweet
heart's wrath In concealing the wounded
De Nelpperg, when she routed all her
catty enemies by her wit, when she
bowled Napoleon over by her frankness.
Inimitable honesty and vivacious drollery.
The part Is crammed with effective lines
which Miss Lawrence reads with brilliant
irradiation. Even her piercing voice, when
raised In stress. Is absolutely appropriate
to the character. Her fondness for Le
febvre. her husband, and his faith In her
in such a mess, are' sweet factors in a
fabric that one could well imagine not
to possess a single worthy strain
The listeners to the fast-flow of the
action are in a state Jo laugh and cry
bravo when Sans-Gene gives everybody
tit for tat, and a lot of kicks and smart
ing repartee to boot. This means that the
actress scored heavily and distinctly In
the part.
Mr. Baume made Napoleon the dominat
ing man that he was, and his performance
displayed the actor In an impressively
reserved spirit that was effective to the
last degree. When he unbends slightly
under the power of Sans-Gene's coquetry
and Irresistible fooling, he is ten times
as strong an actor for the splendid con
trast. Mr. Bowles Is painstaking and
finished as De Nelpperg. Salnpolls Is out
doors and finely strong as Lefebvre. Dills
makes a consistent Fouche. Byers fills in
the picture with Savary. Miss Neville
easily carries off .the best of it among
the women (other than the title role) with
her rangy and vituperative handling of
Queen Caroline. The approach to a hair
pulling match between Queen Caroline
and Eliza (Miss power), the two precious
protegees of the emperor, brought out
extra perspiration on my forehead, and I
wanted to take the pair but side the city
limits and let them have it out.
The scenic embellishments were popu
lated with a generous number of gorge
ously apparelled ladles, gentlemen, ser
vants, etc., etc., etc. It is a large produc
tion, a good show, an entertaining play,
not quite so carefully drilled In the tech
nicalities as some that have preceded it.
Defenda Christian Science.
PORTLAND, Or.. June 23. (To the
Editor.) In a London letter to the Ore
gonian, published In last Sunday's Issue,
the Rev. George Croswell Cressey com
ments on the growth of Christian Science
In England, and would make it appear
that the death or Major Whyte, of Lon
don, which occurred some two months
ago, is a serious reflection on the efficacy
of Christian Science treatment, notwith
standing the fact that the English court
record shows Dr. Adcock, who stands
charged with mansalughter In the case. Is
not now nor has ever Deen a Christian
Science practitioner. I have had oc
casion to investigate the facts of this
case, and know them to be as follows:
In 1903 Major Whyte fractured his spine
by being thrown from a horse. For two
years surgeons and physictans worked
on this case without benefit to him and
in a vain endeavor to relieve the patient
from excruciating pain, for which his
only help was in the use of narcotics. In
this extremity, and with no hope of re
covery, be gave up medicine and turned
to Christian Science. From the beginning
of his treatment he suffered no pain, and
gradually gained, so as to be able to sit
up, and finally to walk with the aid of his
servant, a thing he had not done since
the accident. Under Christian Science
treatment the man was healed' in less
than six weeks from bed sores, from
which he had suffered for months while
under medical care. The progress was
such that Major Whyte withdrew his
resignation from the Army handed in
under the depressing- effect of the hope
less diagnosis made of his case.
Early in January, 1906, while - -Major
"W'hye was at Southsea, another bed sore
developed and grew rapidly worse, and
bjpod poisoning set in, resulting In death.
Although attended by a Christian Scien
tist during a part of this time, he also
had in attendance a regular surgeon'
and latterly, at the instance of his
mother, a doctor.
Inasmuch as frequent and distressing
cases of blood poisoning which result in
death are known to take place under the
best of medical care, and since nothing
was accomplished in two years in this
case before Christian Science was em
ployed, it seems only proper that Chris
tian Science should receive credit for
helping the man where medicine had
Tailed to give relief after a trial of 13
months, and when, according to that
standard, he was expected to die any
day. DAVID B. OGDEN.

TELLS HOW TO BE SAVED
Rev. E. S. Muckley Preaches Last
of Popular Series of Sermons.
Rev. E. S. Muckley, pastor of the First
Christian Church, preached last night the
last of the "How Series" of sermons
which he has been giving Sunday evenings
during the past two months. The ser
mons have been received with much
flavor, the attenda'nee at the church hav
ing srreatly Increased during their pro
gress. Speaking last night on the sub
ject, "How to Be Saved," he said:
"The Bible has been looked upon by
many as a book of arbitrary rules which
man has to rigidly follow in order to be
saved. But this Is n6t the case. Instead,
it is a book of fundamental principles so
philosophically and psychologically true
that thev cannot be ignored without great
harm following to man s whole nature.
Under Old Testament dispensations these
principles had to be formulated Into rules
for man's guidance, because he was not
capable of applying them without rules.
But in the fullness of time Christ came
to emphasize great guiding principles,
which true men would see to be true, and
by appropriating which they could be
saved.
"The great principle underlying- man's
salvation is stated In the text. Peter
had just made his great confession of
faith in the divine lordship of Jesus.
After charging his disciples to tell no
man that he was the Christ he began

to show them that he must suffer and be
killed and be raised again the third day.
Peter rebuked him for this, saying, 'Be
it far from thee. Lord: this shall never
be unto thee.' Peter was seltish and did
not want his Lord to ignominously suffer
and leave him. In rebuke of this spirit
of one of his chief disciples the master
said unto Peter: 'Get thee behind me.
Satan: thou art a stumbling block unto
me: for thou mlndest not the things of
God. but the things of men.' Then ad
dressing all the disciples he said: 'If any
man would come after me. let him deny
himself, and take up thy cross, and fol
low me.'
"How is this principle of selt-denial.
In the exercise of which one finds his true
self, discovered and applied? There are
four principles that must be worked to
that end. Jesus emphasised them.
"The principle of faith that calls for
the natural exercise of a power that you
already possess. Thy faith hath saved
thee, thy faith hath made thee whole. Is
the constant declaration of Christ. The
emphasis is changed from ourselves to
Christ and his Father by the exercise of
faith and we cease to look alone upon
the things of time and reach out into the
things pf the future. Thus we do not
overemphasize this life.
"By the principle of repentence we re
nounce the selfish me for the unselfish.
To get us to do that was why Christ told
us that except we report we should
perish. He asked us to confess to him
not because he selfishly wanted praise,
but because when we have once openly
acknowledged him our native sense of
honor will make us stand by what we
have taken upon ourselves. The prin
ciple of obedience brings us to the recog
nition of an authority. In the recognition
of which we own our need of help which
we cannot supply. And, besides, we thus
develop the power of self-control. In all
this we change the emphasis from our
selves and this partial life to God and the
whole life which includes the eternal."
Modern Servants of the Rich.
Minneapolis Tribune.
The high-class domestic service of the
excessive rich Is not confined to the cure
of souls. Cases are not uncommon where
a lawyer or physician practices his pro
fession .for the sole benefit of a wealthy
man. In the case of lawyers the personal
service is more often disguised under em
ployment by a corporation in which the
rich man is the chief owner. For the fam
ily doctor of English tradition we have
the general counsel of a great corpora
tion taking his orders from ita president.
Often the legitimate legal service of a
general counsel runs Into every kind of
obscure personal service to great stock
holders. When Chauncey Depew was gen
eral counsel of the New York Central he
served and touted for the rich Vanderbilt
family everywhere, from the dinner table
to the Legislature at Albany. The humil
iations of ancient domestic chaplaine are
recalled by the refusal of one of the Van
