QUITS UNDER FIRE
Southern Pacific to Abandon
Fourth Street.
FIRST STEP IS TAKEN
Harrlman Officials Incorporate Bea
verton & Willsburg Kail road Co.
to Build East of River Elec
tricity a West Side.
With the Incorporation of the Beaverton
& "Willsburg Railroad Company, tho flrst
definite step has been taken by the South
ern Pacific to remove its trains from
Fourth street. The plan of the incorpo
rators of the new company Is to build
o line of railway from Beaverton. on the
West Side division, to the Willamette
River at Oswego, where a bridge will be
built to carry the traffic to the East Side,
and a Junction with the main line of the
Southern Pacific at WillsburK.
Passenger and freight traffic will then
be routed over the new line from Bea
verton. Entrance to the city will be over
the Southern Pacific tracks on the East
Side,
This detour will Increase the length of
the Journey from Beaverton to Portland
by perhaps ten miles, but it will eliminate
the heavy Fourth street grade, and the
new route will also settle the controversy
between the railroad company and the
city council over the Fourth-street tracks.
The operation of trains on Fourth street
has long been a question of dispute be
tween the Southern Pacific and the Coun
cil, and the solution of the matter by the
detour will be satisfactory to all parties.
The franchise of the Southern Pacific
on Fourth street is perpetual, and the
council has been advised by the City At
torney that it has no right to dispossess
the company. It can, however, regulate
the use of the franchise, and in view of
the agitation against the further opera
tion of v trains on that thoroughfare, it
was thought the council might refuse to
permit the railroad to longer use Fourth
trreet for steam locomotives.
The Southern Pacific has, however,
hown a disposition to remove trains from
the street, and has been busy making
surveys and searching out routes for the
detour to Willsburg that has at last been
secured. While the company leaves the
street under fire. It is voluntarily seek
ing another outlet to the city. Because
of the heavy Fourth-treet grade. It is a
v'Poatter of economy for the railroad to
6&rure a route of easier grades.
The Southern Pacific plans to still bring
most of its West Side passenger business
Into the city on Fourth street by means
of electric cars, which it will operate be
tweet Portland and Beaverton, or possibly
to Hillshoro and Forest Grove. The elec
trification of the Fourth street line has
been decided upon, and will be realized
as soon as the cut-off to Willsburg is In
operation.
It is planned to commence construction
of the line to Willsburg from Beaverton
within a short rime. A high bridge across
the Willamette that will not interfere with
the operation of steamers and will not
delay trains by the swinging of a draw,
will probably be built.
Incorporators of the new company are
William Crooks, assistant to General
Manager O Brien, of the Harrlman lines,
and H. F. Connor and W. R. Litzenberg,
attorneys in the offices of W. W. Cotton,
general counsel for the Harrlman lines
in this territory. The capital stock Is
placed at $75,000.
HE BLAMES THE COXSIGVEES
Harriman Freight Agent Discusses
San Francisco Congestion.
After a trip to San Francisco, where he
saw for himself the railroad situation. W.
I. Skinner, assistant general freight agent
for the Harriman lines in this territory,
says the outlook Is very bad and that
the prospects for an early raising of the
emhargo on lumber and other commodities
from Oregon that has been enforced by
the Southern Pacific are not bright. Mr.
Skinner found the congestion In the yards
at San Francisco such that It will re
quire a long time to remove It.
"The conditions are not encouraging, as
regards the lumber business, and Indica
tions are that it will be some time before
the embargo on other freight will be lifted
and shipments be resumed," said he yes
terday. "Cars of freight brought Into the
city are kept standing on sidings for 30,
40 and even 60 days, awaiting release.
More business la being poured Into San
Francisco than can possibly be handled
by the available men. teams or the rail
roads. The whole city Is simply over
whelmed by the enormous traffic.
"As to lifting the embargo on commodi
ties which cannot now be shipped into San
Francisco, this is a matter for the con
signees to determine largely. Until the
stuff can be gotten out of the cars now
crowded on the San Francisco tracks, and
the cars released, there will be no oppor
tunity for new business to come into the
city. The delay on the part of the con
signees is largely responsible for the un
fortunate condition that now exists."
O. & W". Directors Hold Meeting.
An adjourned meeting of the directors
of the Oregon. & Washington was held
yesterday afternoon in the offices of W.
W. Cotton. No business of special inter
est was transacted. W. R. Litzenberg,
an attorney for the company, will go to
Centralia today to appear in a condem
nation suit the company is pressing in
that vicinity in order to secure rights of
way for the road.
An adjourned meeting- of the O. R. &
N. directors was also held yesterday in
the same offices, but owing to the fact
that there was not a quorum present, the
meeting was postponed an til next Mon
day. Co-Operates With Fruitgrowers.
The Harriman lines are already pre
paring to co-operate with the manage
ment of the Oregon Horticultural So
ciety In arousing widespread Interest
in the meeting of the society to be
held in Portland January i, 9 and 10.
For the session a rate of one and one
third fare for the round trip will be
offered from all points on the Oregon
lines. It Is expected to arouse con
siderable enthusiasm for the annual
meeting and. efforts will be made to
secure a place to make a suitable ex
hibit of Oregon fruits.
Returning From the Orient.
The Los Angeles Times excursion to
the Orient is aue In Portland on its re
turn at 6 A. M. November 14. The special
train will leave over the Southern Pacific
for home at 8 o'clock the same morning.
The party is returning to Seattle on the
Hill steamship Dakota, which Is due
there on the evening- of November 13.
Grading JTearly Finished.
All but nine miles have been graded
on the Riparia-Lewiston extension,
which is being built Jointly by the O.
R. & N. and Northern Pacific It Is
hoped to have the lineun operation by
January L The whole road Is to be
78 miles in length. Track h- -en
laid for a distance of 20 miles out of
Riparia. During the Summer the work
was much delayed on account of the
labor shortage, but this has been over
come and track is now being laid at
the rate of a mile a day.
SMOKING AND CARE OF FOOD
Mrs. Evans Only Suggests and De
nies She Has Begun Crusade.
PORTLAND, Nov. 6. (To the Editor.)
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I
should like to thank The Oregonian for
the kind and generous editorial of a few
days ago, regarding smoking and expecto
rating in our food supply shops, and
also for the universal support the paper
has given me In my efforts for cleaner
and better conditions.
What measure of success I have at
tained, is due to the support I have re
ceived from the best element of the com
munity, which includes a large percent
age of our food dealers and merchants.
For this reason I am going to ask The
Oregonian to correct an Impression that
seems to have gone abroad, that I am
about to begin a "crusade" against smok
ing In our meat markets and grocery
stores a move that I would consider very
Ill-advised.
In the list of requirements for a clean
shop which was approved by the Board
of Health, Is this: "Smoking and expec
torating In the shop must be prohibited,
and signs to that effect exposed." Not
one of the "requirements" is covered by
ordinance, or , was It ever the Intention
to enforce them by law. They were 6imply
rules thought necessary for cleanliness,
and got out as a suggestive help to mer
chants who really wanted to be clean,
and as something of a basis upon which
to work in fixing the standard for a clean
shop.
In my monthly report to the Health
Board, November 1. I said: "Many mer
chants object to the requirement regard
ing smoking, as they think It will injure
their business". It was intended neither
as a complaint or a threat, though It
seems to have been construed to mean
both.
I would very seriously object to even
an ordinance prohibiting smoking in the
shops, as It would be an infringement
upon personal rights, and no law can
be enforced that does this. It would be
as abortive as the ordinance prohibiting
expectorating on the sidewalks. At the
some time, I consider the habit of smok
ing in the shops dangerous, and a menace
to the community, and I could not con
scientiously put a 6hop on the clean list
where the custom was permitted. I fre
quently see men whom I have every rea
son to believe are afflicted with tubercu
losis, smoking and spitting in the saw
dust on the shop floors. When this de
posit arises in dust, can anyone tell who
may swallow the germ in their food. Or
who measure its contaminating results?
The first suggestion for this requirement
came from a baker who told me he
would not be able to get bakers if he
prohibited their smoking, and ' that he
frequently saw the ashes from their ci
gars or cigarettes fall Into the bre.ad
troughs, but added that if he was oTdered
by the market inspector to prohibit tne
same, the orders would be an excuse tor
him to enforce it,
I have made this a matter of frequent
conversation with the merchants, point
ing out the danger and asking their co
operation, but never once making it an
issue, much less a crusade. Many of the
merchants recognize the danger, and
the matter, I believe, is rapidly settling
itself by education, and I feel confident
that the time is near at hand when the
merchants of Portland will wonder how
they endured this unhealthy habit, as they
are now wondering how they did without
sanitary counters: kept their foods on
the sidewalks, and the many other things
that are speaking far louder for the good
sense and intelligence of the merchants
than it does for my humble efforts in that
direction.

God's Own Out-of-Doors.
Outing. .
But the "North Woods" remain, and he
who loves to see the open sky above his
head, to feel the wind upon his face and
all the pleasures of God's own out-of-doors,
may still find them beside the lakes
and streams of the Adirondacks. Let him
whose soul is racked by the wild turmoil
of metropolitan life or business cares,
whose tired and smoke-smarting eyes
have forgotten to look upward to where
float the clouds by day and blaze the
stars by night, whose mental and physi
cal horizon is enclosed between four walls
or the narrow vista of some musty street,
seek the North Woods. Let him "take up
his tents and go forth into the wilder
ness" and health and peace shall surely
enter into him. There in the golden days
of our Indian Summer the like of which
are not to be found otherwhere upon this
earth he shall tramp the woods be
neath a cloudless sky, lie out under the
stars and marvel at the great infinitudes,
those things which do not pass with the
passing of nations. Let him watch, when
the day's hunt Is over and the sun is de
clining to Its rest, the colors changing on
the distant hills, while to his nostrils
comes the savor of the- evening meal.
And when that meal has passed with talk
and jest and story let him light his pipe,
that greatest solace of the hunter, and
stretching himself before the glowing
campfire, listen to the noises of the night,
and. as the sparks before him, his cares
shall fly upward and be lost in the dark
ness and the night; and when at last he
lies down upon a bed of boughs he shall
sink at once into that sleep which knows
not time nor dreams.

IMPROVE THE PARK
New Roads and Trails Needed
at Crater Lake.
PROTECTION TO VISITORS
Superintendent Wants Safe Trail
Down Crater to Jjake Shore,
Around Victor Bock and Up
Scott and Glacier Peaks.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Nov. 6. In his annual report re
cently submitted to the Secretary of the
Interior. Superintendent W. F. Arant. of
the Crater Lake National Park, reviews
at length the work that has been done
in Improving the park and making more
accessible the numerous points of interest.
He furthermore sets forth the immediate
needs, together with the amounts required
to carry on improvements during the com
ing year. The following extracts are self
explanatory: "There are four roads and three trails
In the reserve. The road from the south
line of the park to the Crater Lake Post-
MAP SHOWING ROUTES TO
office is in fairly good condition for travel,
but much improvement could and should
be fnade upon it. The same condition ex
ists in regard to the road leading from
the Postoffice to the rim of the crater.
'Only what repair work was necessary
to place these roads in reasonably fair
condition for travel has been done this
season, but they should still be widened
In many places, smoothed out, and some
of the bridges should have extensive re
pairs. '
The old road to the crater is not In
good condition, but it is very little travel
ed, and when the new road to White
Horse shall have been completed there
will be no necessity of keeping ft up.
I would not recommend any permanent
improvements on it.
The road from the west line of the
reserve toward the crater is not in good
condition and should have substantial and
permanent improvements made upon it.
Trail Down Crater Dangerous.
Of the principal trails in the park, the
one leading from the rim of the crater
down to the water of the lake is by far
the most used and now is and always has
been in very bad and, in some places,
dangerous condition, and should have sub
stantial and extensive Improvements made
upon It.
The other two trails, the one leading
along the rim of the crater and the one
to Bybee Creek, are not so much used,
but should be improved. There should be
two more trails built in the park, one
to the summit -of Glacier Peak and one
to Scott Peak.
. For improvements Mr. Arant asks
the following appropriations: Barn
and stable, $500; fencing lot around
barn, $150; fencing liayfield and pas
ture. $200; mower and hayrake, $120;
toolhouse, $100; hydraulic ram to raise
water from canyon, $200; visitors' reg
ister and supplies at entrance, $1500.
The report continues:
Should Guard Victor Rock.
"A short distance inside the crater.
eight or ten rods below the rim, there
is a high promontory of rock, called
Victor Rock, where nearly all visitors
go for a good view of the lake and sur
rounding country. At the summit of
this rock and where many people con
gregate it is rough and craggy and
some parts of it slope or Incline toward
the lake. Below this summit and
toward the lake walls are vertical in
fact, it hangs over for almost 1000 feet
above the water. This is one of the
most prominent and probably most fre
quented points on the crater rim, and
owing to the character of this rock, or
promontory of rock, there is more or
less danger of accident or even less of
life, and as a protection against danger
to those who congregate at this point
there should be a strong iron railing
placed along the outer edge of this
rock; this could be done for $150.
"For a road plow, a hillside scraper,
and other tools for road and bridge
work, which it is necessary to have, it
would require an outlay of $100.
Improvement of Roads.
"In regard to the matter of improve
ments and extension of roads in the
park It is proper to state-that in the
Spring of each year the roads are
found to o washed out In many places,
and deep ruts are cut by the heavy
rains and waters of the melting snows
and obstructed by fallen trees, logs,
stones and brush, and the repairing
alone requires a considerable amount
of labor. In many places the roads are
in bad condition by being partially
overgrown by brush, which should be
cut away and the roads otherwise im
proved. It would cost $400 to put the
road from the south line of the park
to Crater Lake, the Postoffice, in proper
condition.
'There should be an expenditure of

$400 In making necessary Improvements
on the road from Crater Lake Postoffice
to the rim of the crater.
"The road from the west line of the
park to Whitehorse has never had any
improvement work done upon it; it is
washed out, is sidling, crooked and
rough. It should have $300 expended
upon it in making the necessary repairs
and improvements.
"The necessary improvements at
Whitehorse would cost $150. The
grading up and cutting drains and
building culverts in the swampy piece
of road west of Whitehorse would cost
$300.
"The necessary expenditure for com
pletion of the road from Crater Lake to
Whitehorse will be J800.
"As has been previously . stated and
described in my last annual report of
October 1. 1905, the banks inside the
crater are very precipitous, and the
vertical elevation above the lake is
1000 feet.
Trail to Lake Shore.
"There is but one route by which the
water of the lake can be reached; it
leads from the summit to the water's
edge, and is very steep, crooked, and
In many places dangerous so much so
that only the stronger individuals are
able to make the descent and ascent,
and many are thus deprived of the
pleasures of the trip to the water. A
trip down into the crater to the lake
1s one of the chief attractions of a
visit to the park, and it is urgently
necessary that better facilities for mak
ing this trip be provided.
"A climb down and up ver this trail
when it is at its best is as hard a climb
as people are able to make, but nearly
all visitors and tourists In the park are
disappointed if they do not make this
trip; and it will require a considerable
amount of work and expense to put it

in only fairly good and safe condition.
It should be widened out and straight
ened, and in many places steps should
be cut in the stone and hard earth, and
a small, strong cable should be stretch
ed along the trail on the lower side to
make it safe and to asist in climbing
down and up the crater wall. Six hun
dred dollars would be required to make
this much-needed improvement
"Mount Scott, or Scott Peak, on the
rim of the crater in the southeastern
portion of the park, is the loftiest peak
in the reserve, being 9122 feet above
sea level and 2883 feet above the sur
face of the lake. It is a point of grand
scenic beauty; it is also very subject
to forest fires, but there being no road
or trail from any other point in the
park, it is almost inaccesible. There
should be a good horse trail opened
from the wagon road to the rim of the
crater to this interesting point. It
would require an expenditure of $250
to open and build this trail.
"Also the opening and building of a
good trail from the 'Camp Ground' on
the rim to the summit of Glacier Peak,
8227 feet above sea level and 19S8 feet
immediately above the waters of the
lake on the westr im of Glacier Peak,
mighty cauldron, is an improvement to
the facilities for traveling about in the
reserve that should be made. Two
hundred dollars represents the amount
required for this purpose.
"For repairs on bridges on the roads
now existing in the park and on new
roads to be opened, 15,000 feet of bridge
lumber will be required during the next
fiscal year, which will cost at the saw
mill $150, and the hauling of the same
will cost $150, making a necessary ex
penditure on this account of $300.
"For use in the repairing of bridges
on the roads now existing and in the
construction of new bridges on roads to
be opened, there will be needed nails,
spikes, bolts, and other hardware to the
amount of $100.
"As has been stated in- previous re
ports on this subject, there exists great
necessity for assistance in patrolling
the park. During the Summer months
the duties of the superintendent are
multitudinous, and a great deal of time
is required in properly superintending
the Improvement work and other affairs
of the park.
Park Rangers Needed.
"As a precautionary measure against
the trespassing of loose stock upon the
park lands, for the prevention of the
cutting of any of the green and grow
ing timber at the camping places or
other portions of the reserve, and for
the prevention of the violation of any
of the rules and regulations of the
park, and for the extinguishing and
suppression of forest fires In the re
serve, it is of the utmost Importance
that provision be made for the employ
ing of at least two patrolmen or park
rangers, whose duty it would be to act
in a similar capacity to that of forest
rangers in the forest reserves, and to
maintain a constant patrol in the park
from July 1 to October 31.
"Sixty dollars per month would be
reasonable compensation for this serv
ice, and I therefore place in this list of
estimates as a necessary expenditure
on this account, the item of $480 as the
amount required to pay for the services
of these greatly needed asistaats for
the four months during the dry season
of the year.
"The salary of the superintendent of
the park is $1000 per annum, and the
allowance for keeping one additional
horse for use In the park at $1 per day
amounts to C365 a year; total, $1365,
which, together with the several
amounts in the foregoing list of esti
mates of the cost of necessary improve
ments during the fiscal year 1908
amounts in the. aggregate to $7315.
KQOD RIVER MM FAMOUS
ORCHARDISTS RAISED APPLES,
COXSOIERS DID THE REST,
Let Every Other Section Grow Best
Possible Fruit, and Everybody
Will Be Happy.
HOOD RIVER. Or.. Nov. 6. (To the
Editor.) Since the biennial fruit fair at
Hood River several comments have been
made and comparisons drawn about the
real value of Hood River apples. Most, of
these remarks have been prompted by
Jealousy of sections where apples are
grown, while others have been made
with the full and honest conviction that
they can produce a better article than
Hood River. In regard to The Oregonian
having been "industriously worked for
several years by the Hood River adver
tising bureau," I wish to say that one
of the missions of such great daily news
papers as The Oregonian is to acquaint,
the outside world with the resources of
its own state, and by doing so bring in
new settlers. Invite eastern capital to in
vest here and take advantage of the
many opportunities offered. That is what
The Oregonian has done in a creditable
manner, not only for Hood River, but
for the entire Empire State of the Pa
cific. But why did The Oregonian do it for
Hood River? Because we had something
to back up our assertions and statements.
We could deliver the goods and did de
liver the goods, and are delivering them
today. Hood River is a credit to the
state of Oregon, and deserves all the
publicity she gets. She has earned it
honestly, and by hard work; not through
the agency of an advertising bureau in
inducing newspapers to make false state
ments about her, but by the hard work
of its industrious growers, packers and
shippers of fruit.
All that may be a thorn in the side of
some of the other fruit growing sections
of Oregon. But they can soon get rid
of it if they will only wake up. plant
varieties that are suitable to their. local
conditions, and then work in their
orchards early, late, and at all times, use
brains as well as muscle in their work,
and, when they have accomplished some
thing, show it to the world, and, if it
is of merit, no one will feel any happier
over it than Hood River. ,
Hood River has never used any methods
to gain publicity that were not honor
able and strictly above board. All we
have ever done is to give information to
those seeking it, and to show our product
at every opportunity that presented it
self, and that is what every loyal citizen
should do that has the interest and fu
ture of his town, county or state at
heart. Rogue River and Hood River val
leys are spoken of as the apple growing
centers of Oregon because they have
shown to the world that they are produc
ers of fine apples and lots of them. The
Oregonian and other newspapers, and in
fact, every public spirited citizen of
Oregon, would be only too glad to add
other septions of this great state to this
roll of honor.
The assertion that Hood River apples
are the best keepers was made in the
first place by buyers of our fruit. If the
man that planks down $2.50 to $3.25 a box
for 25.000 boxes of Hood River apples says
so. and furthermore says that one of the
reasons Is that he pays us those prices
because our apples do keep after others
are all gone, then I think we can readily
believe it. That we have offered prime
apples at 85 cents per box is quite true,
and they went like hot cakes. We did
not have enough to go around. That is
easily explained. Hood River farmers
made .the same mistake that was made
In other apple-growing sections 10 or 15
years ago by planting every variety that
the nurseryman had in his catalogue, so
as to have early, midwinter, late, green,
red, in fact all the varieties of the apple
kingdom in their orchards. We have
found in the last four or five years that
all of them were not $3 varieties, so we
grafted over some of them, some we dug
up, and some we Just let grow and bear.
Those are the S5-cent varieties, and even
they must be a little better than they
are in some local! ies, because these same
varieties have been bought in the Wil
lamette valley this season by the carload
at 65 cents a box, and J know of sections
where they are offered at 50 cents a box.
Hood River people least of all say much
about their apples being better than they
are in other sections. We feel so happy
over our good fortune, we are so full of
joy it makes some of us almost speech
less. But it is the press which is pleased
to show off the resources of its own state
that is drawing its conclusions from the
prices we are receiving for our goods.
There is no man, woman or child in
Hood River that is not willing, yes, glad
to tell the fruit growers of this or any
other state how we achieved our success,
so they can improve their own methods.
Every fruitgrower In Hood River valley
knows and admits that some varieties of
apples grow better in other localities, but
we admit it cheerfully, and not with the
least thought of Jealousy. It is to be
hoped that every fruit grower of this
state will make exhibits', of their fancy
apples at every opportunity, one of which
is at the annual meeting of the State
Horticultural Society held in January.
This so-called notoriety that Hood
River apples have enjoyed In the past
has accomplished two great things: it is
bringing thousands of dollars of outside
money, mostly from Europe, to a com
munity of industrious. Intelligent fruit
growers, and made the name of this great
state of Oregon resound all over the
civilized world, second only to the Lewis
and Clark fair. E. A. FRANZ.
"Human Ads." in Store Windows.
New York Sun-
"I never saw anything like the human
'ads' you have In your New York win
dows." remarked a gin up for a few
weeks from the South. "What I dislike
most about it is that most of them are
women. There's the Oriental-eyed girl,
who sits in Turkish costume puffing some
new brand of cigarette, emitting Ara

That shower bath was worse than any

Fearful
SUGGESTIONS HOW WOMEN MAY FIND
RELIEF. '
gtyee tfoimes0&0$ AtrxTillie Hart g&A
While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. This is a
severe strain on a woman's vitality.
When pain exists something is wrong1
which should be 6et right or it will
lead to a serious derangement of the
whole female organism.
Thousands of women have testified
in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham
that Lydia. E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound overcomes woman's special
pains and irregularities.
It provides a safe and sure way of
escape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con
vincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes, of 540 N. Division
Street, Buffalo, N. Y., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
" Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine
for women . 1 suffered misery for years with
painful periods, headaches, and bearing-down
pains. I consulted two different physicians
out failed to get any relief. A friend from the
east advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. I did so, and no longer
suffer as I did before. My periods are natural;
every ache and pain is gone, and my general
health is much improved. I advise all women
who suffer to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound ."
Mrs. TUlie Hart, of Larlmore, N. D.,
writes: .
Dear Mrs- Pinkham:

of suffering and pain bad I only known of the
efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

request of Hamilton's counsel.
Again the Endowed Theater.
fW. T. Stead in The World Today.)
Is It to be believed that out of our
rich, refined, play-loving population there
are not to be found those with sufficient
enthusiasm or self-sacrifice to raise
whatever money Is necessary to establish
at least one Ideal experimental theater,
with a sixpenny gallery and a shilling
pit, all places to be reserved, and with
free performances at least once a week,
where the best works of the best dram
atists of the world could be played by
a company whose primary object was not
to serve as advertisements for the dress
maker, or be mere incidents in the scen
ic splendors of the carpenter's art? What
is wanted Is faith, and after faith organ
ization. Even in this day of doubt and
unbelief the churches can find faith
enough to create organizations which
raise any amount of cash. I am loth to
believe that the theatergoing public is
such a godless, reckless, worthless set of
selfish loons that it is impossible to raise
out of their midst a fellowship of stal
wart workers and liberal givers who will
begin the democratic regeneration of the
theater.

have taken Hood's Sarsaparllla and found
