Father Gregory, of the Sacred Heart Parish, made a strong pla for opening more streets In that portion of the city. He asked that action be taken to open East Sixteenth street from Powell to Holgate. and also that the fences that now obstruct East Seventeenth street on the railroad's laniJ be taken down. He said that the travel on Milwaukie street has become very heaw, and other avenues to the city are necessary- Councilman Rushlight agreed to take up any proposition that the property-owners want to accomplish, but in the matter of opening new streets It is always better, he said, for the people to take the initiative. He said that some times the opening of streets was done by resolution, but when the city goes to the expense of surveys and estimating the cost and then the property-owners defeat the opening by remonstrance, the money paid out is wasted. For that reason Councilman Rushlight wants the prop-ertv-owners interested to bring in peti tions from at least one-third of the property-owners, when he will push the open ing asked for. Will Perfect Organization-. The East Side Club will meet this evening at the office of the Brown Hotel on Haw thorne and Grand avenues at 8 o'clock to complete the organization by the adop. tlon or by-laws and laying plans for fit ting up apartments on the top floor of the building. The club has filed its articles of incorporation and is now prepared to proceed with business At the start it is understood that only part of the top floor will be used for club purposes, but that finally the whole of the floor will be oc cupied. Partitions will be taken out for billiard, reading, smoking and club rooms. The question has been asked why the club selected quarters at Hawthorne ave nue, and the answer the promoters give is that the Brown is the only building on the East Side where suitable quarters can he obtained at present. From the enthu siasm with which the movement has been received, its success Is considered assured. It Is mainly social and is in no way in tended to conflict with the Commercial Club of Portland. Union-Avenue Bridge- Repairs Re pairs to the Union-avenue bridge across Sullivan's Gulch are nearly completed. It is hoped to extend the life of this old structure until the steel structure on Grand avenue is finished. Many new timbers were placed under the surface between the O. R. & N. tracks and the north bank, binding the bents together more securely. South of the embankment rotten ends of timbers were cut out and replaced with solid sticks. Just when the contractors for the Grand-avenue bridge will start work is not known. They have eight months in which to complete the structure from the time the contract was let. More than a month has passed, and there is no indications on the grounds that work is to start on the foundation. It is said the people of the East Side are not Inclined to tolerate delays on this bridge, and expect the contractors to start construction in time to complete at ac cording to their contract. Officers Raid Poker Game Acting Detectives Howell and Leisy raided a poker game yesterday afternoon in a saloon at the corner of Twenty-third and Savler streets, where four players and the proprietor were, arrested. The men gave their names as George Brown, J Johnson. B. McFadden and E. M. Brat tain. Their bail was fixed at $50, while the proprietor, jr. Liberty, was held for JW0. The arresting officers are the two men who were recently appointed to the police force and their work in effecting the arrest is considered excellent. Ser geant Baty has been watching the place for the past month, but every time he would go near the saloon all games would be stopped. Fifty cents in money, a deck of cards and a number of poker chips were taken from the table when the place was raided. "Will Take Up Bicycle Paths. The "bicycle paths on Milwaukie and East Twenty-third streets are to be taken out entirely. Part of the work has already been done on Milwaukie street, but con siderable remains to be done. It is neces sary to take tip the path on this street to make room for the growing traffic which is occupied by double tracks of tne Oregon Water Power. What remains of the paths will come out as soon as some body will take the contract. On East Twenty-first street, south from Division, the people want the path taken out for the reason that it obstructs the side of the street it occupies. These paths were built by the county at much expense when nearly everybody used a bicycle, but It has ceased to be a fad. Funeral of Hannah E. Helgeeen. The funeral of Miss Hannah E. Helgeseii was held yesterday from the Swedish Lutheran Church, corner of East Grant and Tenth streets. Rev. O. Hagoes. the pastor, conducted the services. Interment was in Lone Fir Cemetery- itfiss Helge sen was 23 years old and She died at the Good 9.amaritan Hospital November 13. There was a large attendance of the friends of the family.

Since Halloween a light spring wagon has reposed gracefully on the roof of the waiting station at Woodstock, and it still stands there. It cost the boys much labor to get the ve hicle on the station, and so far nobody is Inclined to take It down. It Is eaid that It was brought from Tremont by boys.

Fu neral arrangements will be completed to day, pending the arrival of Dr. . Caryll Smith, brother of the deceased, from Aberdeen, Wash.

Petitions for a bitulithie pavement on Grand avenue between East Oak street and Sullivan's Gulch and between Sulli van's Gulch and Holladay avenue have been prepared for circulation. The im provement will be divided up into two parts at Sullivan s Gulch, where connec tion will be made by the steel bridge which is under contract. E. H. Virgil has the petition for the improvement be tween East Oak "street and fcullivan s Gulch, but it will not be circulated until it is known just what the cost will be per front foot, so the property-owners will know just what they have to pay. Mr. Virgil said last evening that it was not now expected to start on the im provement before April, as pavement of the sort asked for cannot be laid in wet weather; besides, it will take that much time to get through the proceedings. He said that he expected to get two thirds of the property-owners to sign for the pavement. It is calculated to have the pavement down before the completion of the bridge over Sullivan's Gulch. South to Hawthorne avenue, or East Clay, the same action will probably be soon taken, so that Grand avenue will be improved with hard pavement in the early part of next year. The reason Grand avenue north to Sul livan's Gulch was not improved at the same time East Burnside street and Union avenue were was because the street committee divided up the contract on Grand avenue by giving the property owners bituminous pavement north to Sullivan's Gulch and bitulithie south to Belmont, with the result that the property-owners north remonstrated against the improvement. They felt they were not getting what they asked for. but there will be no remonstrance against the kind of improvement the next petition will call for. according to the property owners interested.

S. Willard as Cyrus Blenkarn In Henry Arthur Jones' en grossing play, "The Middleman." and filled them. John Sainpolis never did a better day's work than that of yesterday. From my point of view it was a very Im portant event in local theatrical history, the first performance of "The Middle man," for the performance given by Mr. Sainpolis has not been equaled by any stock actor who has appeared here within my ken, bar none. He made the lovable old potter of Tet low fairly live through the varying shades of emotion, which one of the Teally strong roles In English drama demands of the man who essays it. The heart of his audience went out to the simple, child like old dreamer of the first act. bled with him for his awful grief in the sec ond, stood still with the intensity of his triumph in the third and rejoiced with him in the blessed joy of him In the fourth. , Take the John Sainpolis performance, big and large, and compare It with any standard you choose and the student of acting must accredit him with an achieve ment of which only an artist of first im portance is capable. It is my pleasure to metaphorically take oft my hat to the man who scored a triumph yesterday and hail John Sainpolis as- a really great actor. No mediocrity could so hold an audience in his hand and sway it at his will as he does in "The Middleman." The like of his work is not to be seen in any other stock organization in the coun try. The jaded critics of Broadway would be compelled in all honesty to render him unqualified praise. It is the biggest thing we are likely to see in stock through many seasons. It will satisfy the most exacting taste in theatrical matters. The part of Blenkarn overshadows all the others, and Sainpolis leaves but small share in the honors for the remaining members of the company. William Glea son is easily second in importance as Chandler, the narrow-souled master of the pottery. Mr. Gleason brings all the detestable qualities of the character out in clear profile and his long experience and finished technique show to the very best advantage. He is unqualifiedly good. There is a comparatively small part in the first act that makes the stage for the time being the sole and undisputed vantage ground of William Harris. As Danks. the patriarch of an English back country village. Mr. Harris gives a fine bit of character delineation. Howard Russell, as the potter's apprentice, won his audience, but he plays the part too broadly, making it dangerously near gro tesque burlesque. Lillian Lawrence, Wil liam Dills and Frances Slosson have the other important assignments. The third-act setting, showing practical pottery ovens in actual operation, is the most realistic ever seen on the Baker stage. Take a friend's advice. No matter how difficult you are to please, you should see John Sainpolis in "The Middleman." You will thank me for telling you. "Peck's Bad Boy" at the Empire.
