Want a Concrete Bridge. The East
Side Improvement Association will dis
cuss tho matter of erecting a reinforced
concrete bridge across Sullivan's Gulch
on Grand avenue at its meeting Tuesday
evening, and will invite experts to telle
on the BUbject. Dr. C. H. Raffety, who
has looked into the question to some ex
tent, is very strongly in favor of the con
crete plan. He insists that while a steel
bridge will not cost as much as a con
crete structure, it will cost a great deal
more to maintain, while a concrete bridge
will last for all time and will cause no
expense for maintenance. Councilman
Sharkey has always maintained that con
crete is better than steel. All the in
formation possible on the subject will be
brought out at this meeting. The bids
which the City Engineer is asking for
will be opened September 7. Bidders for
the concrete structure are asked to sub
mit plans of the structure In addition, but
bids for a steel structure are according
to the plans already prepared by the City
Engineer. ,
Captain Ward Out Aoain. Fraternal
spirit is not wanting among tne members
of the Grand Army of the Republic, which
has been strongly exemplified in the case
of Captain C. J. Ward, a veteran of the
Civil War, who has a brilliant war record.
Captain Ward is a member of Sumner
Post, No. 12, of the East Side. He has
been very 111 for the past three months,
and there were many times when only
the faintest hopes were entertained for
his recovery. But not a day passed that
one or more members of the post did no'
call on him. Saturday Captain Ward was
able to be at his place of business on
Union avenue, and many of hfs old
friends, who never expected td see him
again, called on the veteran.
Off for Lono Huntixo Trip. Ed Schil
ler, Representative Lou Adams, Frank
Benedict and William Puffer left yester
day morning for an extensive hunting
trip through the state. A cook wagon,
four horses and three animals to ride
made up the hunting party. The trip
which the hunters will take will be one
of the longest ever attempted by a hunt
ing party leaving Portland, and In all
before they return home, the party will
have traveled over 1000 miles. The first
stop will be Salem, and then Albany.
From Albany they will go to Prinevllle.
The route mapped out by the popular
maker of "ropes" will take the party to
the best fishing and hunting grounds In
Oregon.
Effects of Electrolysis. At the East
Portland Water Collector's office on East
Washington Btreet, near Grand avenue, is
a section of lead water pipe, pitted with
holes, which seems to confirm the declara
tion of Dr. C. H. Raffety, of the Water
Committee; that something will have f
be done to prevent the destruction of
water mains of all descriptions in Port
land by electrolysis. "This piece of lead
pipe is a sample of the work of electricity
on all kinds of water pipe, and shows a
condition existing in Portland that must
be faced at once," says Dr. Raffety, who
has long been studying the effects of elec
tricity on metals.
Work on Fill Goes Ahead. The em
bankment on Union avenue has been
cleared of the wreckage of the East Side
Hotel building, which fell Friday eve
ning, and the fill Is going forward. Much
of the same difficulty Is being encoun
tered in this fill as was met on Grand
avenue. Every night the embankment
settles down into the mud and it Is sim
ply a matter of more matjTal.

FRIENDS PAY LAST RITES
Funeral of C. H. JJeadbetter, Sr.,
Held From Son's Home.
The funeral of Charles H. Leadbetter,
Sr.. was held yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock from the residence of his son. F.
W. Leadbetter, on Cedar Hill. The serv
ice was read by Rev. E. P. Hill, of the
First Presbyterian Church, and was con
ducted in a very impressive manner. The
Boyer Quartet sang several touching
songs. Interment was at Rivervlew.
The floral offerings by friends of the
deceased were beautiful and profuse.
Members of the Portland Commercial
Club, of which he was a member, attend
ed the funeral in a body. A beautiful
floral piece was presented by the Com
mercial Club. The pallbearers were all
prominent men of Portland, who had
known Mr. Leadbetter well during his
lifetime.
Mr. Leadbetter, up to within the past
five or six years, when he was afflicted
with ui health, was an important factor
in the development of irrigation and other
business enterprises on the Pacific Coast
He was equally well known throughout
California, Oregon and Washington. Ho
is survived by his wife, two daughters,
Mrs. F. F. Beck and Miss Sallie Leadbet
ter, and three sons, Charles H., Jr., Fred
W. and L. L. Leadbetter, all of whom
reside in Portland.
The Leadbetters are an old New Eng
land family. Horace, father of the de
ceased, and Lorenzo, his uncle, were en
gaged in the lumbering business on the
Penobscot many years ago.
Charles Leadbetter, Sr., served In the
Twenty-third Regiment of Maine-Volunteers
during the Civil War. He was mar
ried to Miss Annie Comings, of Brooklyn,
N. Y., daughter of Dr. I. M. Comings,
and went to Saginaw, Mich., where his
uncle owned vast tracts of timber. A
few years later he removed to Clinton,
la., where he was elected Superintendent
of Schools. It was there that his two
eldest sons, Charles, Jr., and Frederick,
were born.
In 1SS1, he came to the Pacific Coast
and became interested in irrigation, being
instrumental in the construction of Irriga
tion ditches at Yakima, Wash., and In
the San Joaquin Valjey, California.
During the first year of the Klondike
excitement he went to Alaska, but re
turned to Portland after a year of ex
posure and disappointment. His health
was wrecked and he has since been an
invalid, although confined to his bed for
only about a week before his death. He
was 66 years old August 11.
PRAISES PORTO RICO LEAF
Lee Gunst Says Tobacco of Best
Quality Is Grown There.
Porto Rico this year will produce some
of the finest tobacco in the world. Lee
Gunst, a brother of M. A. Gunst, of San
Francisco, Is a guest at the Portland, and
Is Interested in the tobacco business of
Porto Rico. He Is connected with Matia
Rucabado, who was the original exporter
of Porto Rlcan tobacco to the United
States.
"The evolution of the tobacco Industry
In Porto Rico is phenomenal," Mr. Gunst
said last night. "A few years ago only
the cheaper grades of leaf were raised,
but of late the planters have discovered
that the best grades can be cultivated
there to good advantage. The tobacco
trust owns thousands of acres of land In
the Island. This year these people bought
4400 additional acres.
"Porto Rico is one of the great tobacco
countries of the near future. It has the
soil, climate and everything. In fact, in
Its favor. . The United States Government
has an experimental station in the posses
sions, and with this assistance the tobacco
industry is simply being revolutionized.
Until a few years ago only the cheaper
tobaccos and cigars were manufactured in
Porto Rico. Now cigars are being made
which sell for $110 a thousand. These re
tail three for 60 cents.''

WHEN the curtain slid up on the
first act of "The Crisis" yesterday
afternoon the ' house was packed
to its doors. George Baker was glad, the
company was glad and even the public
strange wonder to relate was glad that
the actor folks were home again, and the
new stock season was oft with a whoop-la.
For two months the Baker has been a
cave of gloom. Inhabited at intervals by
theater mice, who are not so poor as
church mice, because they may find scraps
of property viands to gnaw at, with the
Chance always before' them that a forgot
ten ham may be discovered In one of the
dressing-rooms. Two months of "nothin'
doin' " has made theshowgoing popula
tion hungry for the sweets of the playful
play; consequently, as I said before, the
hosts came down on Lee Pearl at the box
office and Don Bowen at the door with
the same sound of crunching toes and
rustling skirts that accompanies an hour
ly sale of lingerie at the bargain plants.
And filled the house. And every pros
pect was exceedingly pleasant.
"The Crisis" was a happy selection for
an opening bill. It Is a good play, with
the blood-red threads of patriotism run
ning through its woof. The love story Is
probable. Its purposes honest. Its heroes
are brave, and its women fair and its
morals as clean ag a new moon on a
cloudless night. Perhaps it is more to
the point that Its costumes and settings
are picturesque and that every member
of the company has & chance to look In
and say "howdy."
The ovation started with the appearance
of the irrepressible Howard. Russell, when,
the curtain rose, the audience fairly out
doing itself in the fervor of Its greeting,
and continued at intervals until the last
act, when Mina Gleason was noisily wel
comed back to Portland after a long ab
sence. The most tumultuous applause was giv
en Lillian Lawrence, newly returned from
her Boston triumphs, and Donald Bowles,
now more than ever the idol of Baker
patrons.
"Jack" Sainpolis, "Billy" Harris and
the other old-timers each received gen
erous applause and the reception accord
ed the newcomers was so cordial as to
put them immediately at their ease.
Miss Lawrence has seldom pleased her
audience better than she did as Virginia
Carvel true daughter of the Lost Cause
who loved her South well but who loved
the knightly Northerner surpassing well.
The popular leading woman goes to work
again with an enthusiasm which presages
brilliant achievements for the coming
season. She is a marvel of Industry and
ambition, and although she has had no
vacation during the Summer, appears as
fresh and sprightly as though she had
been holidaying the whole Summer
through. Her interpretation of Virginia
Carvel Is delightful. It is not a great part,
but she plays it to the full extent of its
opportunities.
Much Interest was naturally felt in the
local debut of Richard Thornton, the new
leading man, successor to Edgar Baume,
George Alison. Guy Standing, Howard
Gould and other idols of other stock sea
sons. When the play was ended yester
day afternoon, the concrete judgment of
those who studied his first performance
was that he will prove a decided favorite.
He is young, handsome, of fine stage
presence, a good reader and an actor of
unusual temperament. His Stephen Brice
was thoroughly satisfactory. His audi
ence responded to his efforts spontaneous
ly, and those who had come to examine
him critically, as a new and strange im
portation of doubtful quantity, remained
to praise. Mr. Baker has made another
good stroke in signing him. In many
ways he suggests Will Walling, one of
the best.
Little Miss Frances Slosson is another
new member who immediately won her
way. She's a dainty, airy-fairy creature,
with spirits enough to arouse the most
Jaded to enthusiasm. She has been seen
here before in traveling combinations, and
was not altogether a stranger. Yes, the
new ingenue is going to be immensely
popular In Portland.
William and Mina Gleason are two old
friends whom all of us who follow theat
rical affairs are glad to see with us. oBth
finished actors, thoroughly artistic, safe,
sane and reliable, they will do much to
ward making for the success of the reor
ganized company.

THERE'S just no use talking, folks
won't stand for seeing a nice girl
get the worst of it from a big
bounder with a black mustache who
talks through his teeth. This was proven
again when the house lights went out
and "The Lights of Frisco" came on the
stage at the commencement of the Em
pire season last night. As a muck-raking
institution the great American melo
drama has the Hearst institution on its
knees begging for quarter. More villainy
has been exposed by the Stair-Havelin
thrillers than would patch Pittsburg a
mile. One forgets how downright ornery
villains can be until he sees something
like "The Lights of Frisco." He also
forgets how noble and pure and alto
gether lovely heroines and heroes can be
until he buys a seat for three hours of
"innocent mirth" where there is a melo
drama. Of course the fact that the for
mer have a trace of Alblna accent and
the latter pull up the knees of their
trousers when they sit down hurts a
little, but the disallusionment Is never
quite complete. That's the reason Bertha
M. Clay and Archibald Clavering Gunter
are still favorites on the news stands,
and by the same token the drama, when
it is melo, is dear to our hearts.
"The Lights of Frisco" is a busy play.
The action never flags and a fellow never
wants to go to sleep. It is one of the
best pieces of its kind I've seen in many
months. It serves to introduce a new
leading woman of more than the average
ability Grace Aylesworth and a number
of actorg who fit into their niches very
well.
Two big audiences saw it yesterday
and pronounced a favorable verdict, so
it wasn't at all necessary for Milt Sea
man, who makes few managerial mis
takes, and Sid Blumenthal, his . chief
lieutenant, to violate the truth when they
assured me their show was good.
How an erstwhile loving father leaves
his infant daughter in a San Francisco
orphan asylum and goes to South Africa
to seek his fortune; how in his absence
his motherless bairn grows to woman
hood before the play begins and becomes
a flower seller; how be returns after
many years, rich but unhappy, as a
prodigal should be, and begins the search
for his daughter. How she is loved by
the honest but poor detective and loves
him in turn; how a poor but humorous
newspaper reporter helps in the wooing,
meanwhile courting the poor but pink
frocked Ingenue, and how a villain in a
brown derby conspires with a number of
chorus men to thwart the search of
father, lover and reporter, is all told
about in "The Lights of Frisco." You
should go to see it if you want action
for your money. It's a bully show of its
kind.
Miss Aylesworth created a favorable
Impression as Rose, the flower girl. Lord
Whitney, as the heroio detective, is very
good at times and just middling . at
others. C. p. Dale was the naughty,
naughty bad man, and he wasnot half
bad, while Dan Williams, as the coon
comedian, kept everybody out of the
slough of despond when things seemed
darkest.
"The Lights of Frisco" is well worth
seeing. It is refreshing, interesting and
instructive. What more could you ask?
FIFTH YEAR OF PASTORATE
First Congregational Church Has
Prospered Under Dr. House.
Dr. E. L. House, of the First Congre
gational Church, began the fifth year
of his ministry yesterday morning un
der auspicious circumstances. The
church is thoroughly united and has
become one of the largest in the city
and one of the largest in the denomi
nation throughout the country. Dur
ing the four years of his pastorate
nearly 500 have united with the
church; a large and cumbersome debt
has . been paid, and one of the most
representative and cultured congrega
tions make up the audience from Sun
day to Sunday. Many of Portland's
representative families are members
here.
Dr. House began his fifth year with
an interesting sermon on: "God Writ
ing His Law on the Heart of Man."
The following is from the sermon:
The laws of God are like street lamps,
which make traveling possible at night; they
are like danger signals placed in the way to
warn travelers of danger. Inscribed upon
them as upon Eddystone lighthouse are the
words: "To give light and save life." This
universe Is God's oration on law. But laws
go further. They wall man around, they
dome him over, they make the ground solid
beneath his feet; he never escapes their rule.
'Now. there are two ways that God mani
fests his law to man. First, ie reveals it
In outward things. All we have cornea pri
marily from the earth. We avail ourselves
of the products of life by obeying nature's
laws. It is not a matter of indifference
whether we plant In December or May. We
must ebey to reap life and strength. When
we come to the spiritual realm, we find God
speaking to us In outward law. The law of
duty is written in the Old Testament and in
the civil codes of our state and Nation. This
law of duty is God's desires unveiled to us.
It was given that it might be a friend to the
friendless, strength to the weak. Illumina
tion to the darkened. Its mission la to In
struct, to guide, to conserve, and to define
conduct.
Tou may put truth upon paper, but the
paper will molder; you may. put it Into in
stitutions, but these will dissolve as a cloud;
you mar put It on marble or brass, but
these are corruptible; but put It into- an
immortal soul and it shall live forever and
be seen always.

LAST SEEN AUGUST 12
Comes to Portland to Purchase Kiln

. and Drops From Sight.
Partners Trust Him.
John Schrelner, of Orovllle, cal., ar
rived in Portland Saturday noon and
placed before the police the details, so
far aa known, of the disappearance of
James S. Mallory, who was last heard
from in Portland August 13. Mallory
came to Portland on July 28 to purchase
a mill tor the Good Hope Mining & Mill
ing Company, of Oroville, Cal., from J.
R. Gardner, who was stopping at the
Hotel Portland. When last seen Mal
lory paid his bill at the Merchants Hotel
and started for the depot. Since then
no trace of him has been found, and as
he had more than $600 at the time, it is
feared he met with foul play.
Mallory, who is a member of the Unit
ed States Mining Congress, and a well
known civil engineer, lost everything in
the earthquake at San Francisco, and
went to Oroville, where the Good Hope
Mining & Milling Company was formed
and he was elected general manager.
Acting under orders from John Schrelner,
who is chairman of the board of direc
tors of the company, Mallory came to
Portland to arrange for the purchase of
a mill from J. R. Gardner, who was stay
ing at the Portland Hotel, and was sup
posed to be the manufacturer of the
Tremain mining mill. He arrived in this
city July 28, and on August 1 wired
Schrelner that he had bought the mill,
all complete, for $604, and asked for
teams to haul It to the mines the follow
ing Tuesday. Under the same date he
wrote Schrelner from the Merchants Ho
tel that he had just finished the purchase
of mill, chemicals and canvas for $604.
The next day Mallory drew a draft at
the United States National Bank on
Schreiner at Oroville for $604, payable to
himself. August 6 he wired Schrelner
that he had been compelled to borrow
the money and pay for the mill, as
Gardner refused to wait longer, that the
draft had been gone five days and was
not yet honored, and that he would ship
the mill the following day. Schrelner
wired a reply asking if he should pay
the draft when it arrived. Mallory re
plied on the 7th; : "Pay draft as soon as
it reaches you. If it does not arrive
tocJay, wire the money to me at the
United States ' National Bank, Portland.
I am ready to return."
On the 8th of August the draft reached
Orovllle and was honored by Schrelner.
on the 11th, Mallory wired that the
money had just arrived, and he would
start back that night. The next day
he wrote that he could not get away the
previous evening, and asked permission
to stop off at Keswick. Cal., on his re
turn, to inspect at copper mine for Port
land parties. He could do the work in
three or four days, he stated, and could
reach Oroville toy the time the mill
arrived. By doing so he could clear up
$1000. '.
On the same day Mallory drew the
money at the bank, paid his board bill
at the hotel, and departed for the depot.
Since then no trace has been found of
him.
" As he did not reach Oroville at the ap
pointed time, Schrelner wired the United
States National Bank for Gardner's ad
dress. The bank replied:
"Cannot understand telegram. Draft
honored by you wag drawn by James S
Mallory." Schreiner was also unable to locate
Gardner at the Hotel Portland.
Schreiner came to Portland Saturday
and laid the matter before the police. No
trace of Mallory or Gardner can be
found, no shipment of mill machinery
was made, and the maker of the can
vas for the tables has not yet been
located.
The members of the Good Hope Min
ing & Milling Company have explicit
confidence in Mallory's honesty, and will
spare no - trouble or expense to locate
'him. They fear that he has met with
foul play. The police are now working
on the case.
Mallory is an old railroad construction
ist, and has helped to build ' thousands
of miles of track in the United States.
He was foreman of the crew that built
the first terminal into Seattle, and has
been division engineer and construction
engineer for the Southern Pacific, Oregon
Short Line and other roads.
Schreiner is general foreman of the
first construction camp of the Western
Pacific Railroad east of Oroville.
