Deputy Shbkikks as Pathfinders. The
next time the Government wants path
finders to bla2c a trail through some wild
and unknown land. Deputy Sheriffs
Nathan Bird and Frank Beatty are go
lug to apply for the jobs. They are prac
ticing for tho positions now by seeking
Jn all the nooks and corners of the city
fur unheard of streets and house numbers
not on the map. The last hunt these
deputies made was for No. 173 Page
Firret. They were sent out to find a
lrs. Hicks, who was said to live at that
number, but after searching nearly all
yesterday afternoon they returned to the
i'ourthouse and declared that the number
was not Unliable. Page street runs for
several blocks through an unimproved
iruUii. Into this-wilderness dove the offi
cers, thinking that they misht find some
little shack bearing this number hid be
hind the underbrush. But th-;ir efforts
were In vain. Then they tramped all
Along the thoroughfare where houses
have been erected, looking at each num
ber, but 173 was not discovered. Mrs.
) licks was found, nevertheless, and
brought to the County Jail. She was
charged with being insane. Another re
cent journey made by Bird which places
him in the pathfinder list was a still
hunt for Hasswell street. For two days
and nights the Deputy Sheriff tramped
around looking for the avenue. He asked
no less than 10.0(i0 people if they could
direct him to where he had to go. They
could not. At last Hasswell street was
found hid away down near .the flouring
mills. This street is only one' block long.
Rends Trophy op Hunt. Tom Honey
man, who with his brother Jim, Dr. De
wit t CorineU, Mose Winters and several
ot hers, is hunting deer, bear and other
wild game in the mountains near Rose
burg, has sent back to Portland the first
trophy of the hunt, the pelt and skull
of a huge mountain lion. The Portland
hunters report having plenty of sport
killing deer, but so far they have not
succeeded in getting a bear. The moun
tain Jion that Tom Honeyman killed Is
one of the finest specimens seen for a
long time. The fur is In splendid con
dition and the skin measures over eight
feet from the tip of the nose to the tip
of the tail. Mr. Honeyman met the big
cat the other day while he was hunting
fop deer. As the lion came out of a
brush he caught sight of the hunter and
turned towards him. Mr. Honeyman fired,
the bullet entering the right eye, killing
the lion instantly. Mr. Honeyman will
have the hide tanned and made into a
rug.

CHINATOWN WILL CELEBRATE
FEAST OF SPIRITS TONIGHT
Three High Priests Brought Prom San Francisco, and Second-Street
Shrine Prepared for the Ceremonies.
ALL CHINATOWN is putting on hol
iday attire and preparing for the
annual Feast of the Spirits, which
will commence tonight. Three Chinese
high priests, especially brought to Port
land from" San Francisco for the occasion,
with the help of several of Portland's
priests, will conduct the ceremonies at
the public josshouse, at 64H Second street,
tonight.
Tho only activity yesterday was noticed
around the public josshouse, where a
score of coolies, with the help of the
priests, were decorating the shrines and
altars where all faithful Confucians to
night will reverently pray for the spirits
of their departed ancestors. Immense
pictures of the Chinese gods, life-size
carvings of the spirits, scrolls with Chi
nese writing and two immense paper
statues of Sa Nai Lo, the evil spirit, are
already installed. Numerous cases filled
with different requisites of the josshouse,
sent expressly for the occasion from
China, are still on the floor, ready to be
unpacked. When the decorations of the'
public Josshouse are ended it will present
a most gorgeous scene of loud colors and
Oriental art.
On the sides of the large altar are two
Immense carvings, both representing bat
tle scenes from Chinese history. Numer
ous smaller carvings adorn the walls,
decorated with festoons of tissue paper.
Scores of loyal subjects of the Flowery
Kingdom paid a visit to the josshouse to

IT ISN'T necessary to have been at col
lege to enjoy "The College Widow,"
but it helps a lot. No difference if it
was Yale or Harvard or merely a fresh-.
Water institution of football and higher
education, the man or woman who has
been so blessed in his day and generation
as to have been sometime an undergrad
uate will fairly revel in the delight of
seeing the old boys and the old girls
brought back again through the rare art
and good humor of George Ade, of In
diana. "
The play has been seen here before, so
its visit at the Heilig last night was not
its premiere to Portland. However, those
who saw it last year and again last night
laughed just as heartily as if it were
brand-new. and left the theater with the
same feeling that they had seen a mirror
held up to nature.
"The College Widow" is the epic of
football as played at college. The types,
but very little exaggerated, are all on
show, and the spirit is preserved. It is
so essentially American, so essentially
faithful to the facts that it leaves noth
ing to be added that it may be accepted
as a vital comedy.
George Ade is most justly accredited
with being first among our younger hu
morists. He has gone back to the old
campus and led the good old "Prexy,"
his fascinating daughter, the pedantic
tutor, the football squad, the town po
liceman and the crack halfback to the
iront of the stage and introduced us
anew. He has preserved the atmosphere
and given his characters the dialogue
which befits the time and place.
It Is as futile to attempt a re-telling of
George Ade's jokes as to undertake rep
etition of Lincoln's stories, so I can only
urge those who have not been so fortu
nate heretofore, to go this week and have
a good time at college. The tuition is
small enough, goodness knows! and the
pleasure is great.
The company this year is not the same
as presented the piece here with but
one or two exceptions, but it is a good
one and fully up to the requirements.
The name part is assigned to Louise Rut
ter, who is as pretty, as winsome and as
good an actress as one could wish for a
"widow." Patty Allison, as the waitress
with the big pompadour, is excruciatingly
funny, as is Alan Brooks, who plays Bub
Hicks, the jay freshman.
An excellent actor, George S. Trimble,
is the Hiram Bolton, the railway pres
ident, this year, and does wonders with
the part, while Robert Kelly, as Billy Bol
ton, his son and winning halfback. Is
splendid.
Bessie Toner, as the athletic girl, gives
a good performance, and the Stub of
Donald Meek is a gem. Estelle Dale, as
the school chaperone, is charming, while
Wilson Deal deserves a bouquet for his
characterization of Elam Hicks, the coun
try politician.
But it's really no use to enumerate.
The whole cast is good, the settings are
accurate, the big third act is worked up
admirably to a high pitch, and the, w,hole
performance is most enjoyable.
Don't miss "The College Widow"!
Tou'll regret it if you do. It will be re
peated tonight, tomorrow matinee and
tomorrow night.
At the Stock Theaters
"Man From Mexico" at Star.
PORREST SEABURX made his initial
bow in leading roles to the theater
gotng public last night in the "Man From
Mexico," at the Star Theater, and. from
the ovation he received, it may be con
cluded that his performance was well ap
preciated. William Collier, the famous
star who created this role, might well
have been proud of the ovation rendered
Seabury,, but the young man at the
Star well deserved the applause. The
role is well adapted to Seabury, and his
execution is almost faultless. In the
prison scene Mr. Seabury especially
scores, as his lines were difficult and the
whole interest centered on him.
Mr. Seabury has been at the Star for
the past five weeks, and his parts were
principally in minor roles. He has been
on the stage for the past six years, and
for three years was at the Alcazar, in
San Francisco. Mr. MacRae played the
part .of the good-natured major, and,
while his role was not as important as
Seabury's, yet he deserved the encore he
received. Miss Felton, as the wife of
Seabury. played her part with 'remark
able vivacity, and showed to the audience
inspect the decorations yesterday, and
loud were the comments of approval on
the beautiful attire of the Chinese house
of worship.
The two large images of the Evil
Spirit, made of bamboo and paper, will
be publicly burned Friday night. Al
though the police authorities have pro
hibited the old-time bonfire, the Chinese
will have a blaze where the two im
mense statues will find their last rest
ing place. During the worship at the
josshouse tonight long tables will Be
spreadwith choice delicacies of the
Chinese, and all visitors will be wel
come to help themselves.
The observation of this year's feast
will not Le as elaborate as in former
years, when Portland had a larger
Chinese population and the Chinese
were less Americanized. Wrhen of yore
$4000 was easily collected yearly for
the observat.on of the festival, this
year the collection amounted to le'ss
than J2000.
The public is at liberty to visit the
Josshouse during the festivities, and a
large notice bearing the signature of
Actinr Chief of Police Gritxmacher,
posted on the door, informs the heath
en whites that they must not help
themselves to any of the Chinese prop
erty or abuse the Chinamen. This was
issued by tne police authorities in view
of a number of disturbances which took
place during the festivals in former
years, when the public helped itself
freely to the Chinese decorations for
mementoes.
that she was not to be snowed under by
the triumphs of the leading man.
Arthur Ashley's part was more of a
minor role. He acted the part of the ec
centric German who, through unfortunate
circumstances, was thrown in jail, and
did it well.
.
Lyric.
THE labor problem is the motive ad
vanced in "The New Partner," a
four-act comedy-drama which the Lyric
Stock Company presented for the first
time yesterday afternoon. It is a piece
that is certain to make a strong appeal
to the popular taste, scarcely a point
that is deemed necessary to the making
of a "thriller" being overlooked.
The leading figure, played by Frank
Fanning, is a fine, stalwart young work
ingman who rises to the management of
an extensive factory in spite of the hand
icaps that are placed in his way, inci
dentally winning the hand of the pres
ident's ward, a dashing young heiress,
Warda Howard. Both Mr. Fanning and
Miss Howard distinguish themselves by
their handling of difficult and important
roles.
Herbert Ashton is very satisfactory as
the hard-working, somber father of the
wronged girl, while George W. Lowe as
the head of the machine shops, and Car
roll McFarland, as his dissolute son, are
each effective in their work. Ofle of the
best features is tho performance of the
blind girl given by Lily Branscombe.
"The New Partner" is a play that is
worth seeing. It will run through the
week.
At the Vaudeville Theaters
Grand.
HEADING the list at the Grand this
week is the Tidbeaux Troupe of
Zouaves, a company of ten shapely and
good-looking girls who do a series of
very pretty drills. Their evolutions, gun
spinning and wall-scaling stunts are cal
culated to arouse the audience to en
thusiasm, and the act is wildly cheered.
The girls offer a refreshing and novel
departure from the stereotyped vaudeville
act.
The show opens with the Tuscano
Brothers, who do some wonderful manip
ulating of Roman battle-axes: Harold
Hoff, who grows more popular each week,
sings "Walt Till the Sun Shines. Nellie,"
followed by James Casey and Maggie
Leclair in a sketch showing Irish tene-
Nment life on the East Side of New York.
As a German dialect comedian, Charles
A. Loder ranks with the best and keeps
his hearers in a continual good humor.
Cliff Dean andhis company do a clever
sketch called "Married Life," while the
Grandiscope closes the show with a series
of pictures showing how the office boy
saw the baseball game.
...
Pantages.
THE unbleached American quartet are"
"away up in G" among . blackface
singers and comedians and they are mak
ing a decided hit at Pantages this week,
where they are topping the bill. They
have one of- the best musical acts seen
at the Pantages for many weeks.
Kippy, the tramp cartoonist, has some
thing new to offer. Kiypy was formerly
a newspaper cartoonist, but evidently
finds vaudeville more lucrative and has
signed for the Pantages circuit. His
sketches are clever and amusing.
Beatrice Lome, who calls herself "the
Scottish Nightingale," is charming in. her
rendition of the old ballads. Stroud and
Thatcher, a brace of comedians of more
than average merit, succeed in making
a lot of fun. Olcott and Doan, Irish
humorists, have a character sketch that
makes good. Leo White is singing "Col
leen Bawn," with pictures on the side.
Fred Merrill gives a fairly good mono
logue, and the moving pictures do their
share of the entertaining with a film
called "My Friend the Dummy."
WATER LAW IS A PUZZLF
COMMITTEE IS STUCK AT INTRO
DUCTORY DECLARATION.
Intent Is to Give the State an
Interest That Will Entitle It
to Bring Suits.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 22. (Special.)
After working all afternoon - and half
the night on a draft of a proposed new ,
water law, the committee appointed for ;
that purpose is still undecided as to ;
the language of the first section. Much
of the proposed law has been covered ;
and completed, but the introductory '
declaration", which is intended to give
the state an interest that will entitle it '
to bring suits, is a perplexing problem.
The draft of a water law as prepared
by Morris Bien, of the United States i
Reclamation Service, has been used as I
a general basis for a bill to be recom
mended by the committee to the Legis
lature, and this draft Is being amended
to suit the ideas of the committee. The
first section of the Bien code declares
that "all waters within the limits of
the state, from all sources of water
supply, belong to the public, and ex
cept as to navigable waters, are subject
to appropriation for beneficial use."
Several objections were made to this
section upon the ground that it is not a
correct statement of law. At the sug- !
gestion of Stephen A. Lowell, the word j
"unappropriated" was inserted after
the word "all" and the "public" was
changed to "state." The phrase, "ex
cept as to navigable waters," was
stricken out. The section as it stands
amended declares that all unappropri
ated waters belong to the state, and
are subject to appropriation for bene
ficial use. But this is not final, and
the section will form the subject of fur
ther discussion tomorrow.
It is asserted by some that the wa
ters belong to the United States and
not to the state, hence the declara
tion as it stands is not true. The in
sertion of the word, "unappropriated"
leaves the inference that the appropri
ated waters belong to the appropriator,
whereas, it is contended, the appropria
tor does not own the water, but merely
has a right to the use of it.
The declaration that the unappropri
ated water belongs to the state is made
for the purpose of showing that the
state has an interest in all water liti
gation thereby enabling it to become
a party to suits and secure a decree
determining how much idle water is
available for intending users. It is
urged that the declaration is unnec
sary as well as untrue, and that the
state can interfere in the exercise of
its police power though the Govern
ment may be the owner of the water.
To make this section conform to the
facts and yet give the state the right
to litigate is the chief remaining task.
