The Pacific Bridge Company is dYrving piles for the Ka.st Stark street fill, between Union and Cirand avenue. This action has been un dertaken on account of the erection of the three-story brick on Grand avenue and East Stark street. The embankment on East Stark street is the most extensive street All yet attempted, and will require more than 100,000 cubic yards of material. The first part of the fill is between East AVater and East Sixth street, which will require probably 150.000 cubic yards of material, and the other fill is between Ninth and Twelfth streets, where some work has already been done. Beyond ICast Twelfth street the improvement will be the ordinary graveled roadway. Also between East Twentieth and the city limits the street will be Improved. It is proposed to cut down the thoroughfare from its present elevation so there will be an easy grade from East Twentieth east ward. East Stark is important for the reason the new High School Is located on It and because it joins the Base Line road into the country. Funeral op Chaki.es Ford. The fu neral of Charles Ford was held yesterday from Einley's undertaking chapel, the Interment being at Lone Fir cemetery. The services were attended by members of Fidelity Lodge No. 4 and Fidelity Lodge Degree of Honor No. 14, and also of the Oregon council, Royai Arcanum, of which orders he had been an active member. Mr. Ford was 62 years old. and had been in the employ of the Pacific States Telephone Company for a number of years. He was a pioneer resident of the East Side. He is survived by his v?ife. and four children, Mrs. Walter Kloat, La, Myra, Chad and Mabel Ford, of Portland. He was popular in fraternal circles. Foundation for Bridge. Work on the foundation for abutment piers on the south side of the Grand-avenue bridge over Sullivan Gulch has gone forward steadily since the storm, and some ex cavating has been done on the north side of the gulch. Owing to the soft nature of the dirt much material must be moved to reach a solid foundation. No attempt has yet been made to drive piles beyond the ends, but that will be done after the nbutment piers have been erected. There is much Interest in the progress of the work on this bridge owing to the long delays of the past. It is understood that the structural iron will begin to arrive some time in March. Chinese Celebration Restricted. Cliong Shong. a Chinaman who wished to celebrate properly the New Year, was ar rested yesterday afternoon for shooting tire crackers on Sunday.

INTERRUPTS CAR SERVICE Short Circuit Brings Annoyance to Holiday Crowds Evidence that the light and power fa cilities of Portland have not yet been restored came to light yesterday after noon between 3:30 and 4:15 o'clock, when not a streetcar wheel turned. It was an aggravating situation, because it was Sunday and thousands of people were out enjoying the beautiful weather. Most of them had planned car rides to the Heights or to the suburbs, but grew weary of the long suspension of traffic and retraced their steps homeward. It seems that there was a short cir cuit on the main line between Oregon City and Portland, the exact location of which has not yet been determined, though scores of linemen were cent out to test the wires. In an Instant every car on both sides of the river was stalled and every light went out. The various thea ters giving Sunday matinees were either obliged to resort to the emergency gas lights or to suspend their performances. By switching on the auxiliary power from the city station, the streetcar com pany was able to resume traffic LENTEN LECTURE COURSE Bishop Scatldlng to Make Series of Addresses on Church History.

ESTHER MITCHELL VERY ILL Holy Koller Girl Suffering In Jail From Attack of Grip. SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 17. (Spe cial.) Esther Mitchell, sister to George Mitchell, whose life she took, after his killing of Edmund Creftield, the Holy Roller leader, was stricken with an attack of the prevailing grippe epidemic several days ago and as she tosses in pain on her bed in the county jail her condition is esteemed quite serious by the attending prison physi cian. The young woman, although in comparatively good spirits of late, has shown the result of her close confine ment and lack of companionship of .Maud Creftield. Her health has not been very good, and there are grave fear that the present acute illness may take a serious turn. MRS. MACHETTE IS DEAD Mother Who Was Burned Trying to Save Babe's Life Passes Away. ' Mrs. Daisy Machette. who was fatally burned Saturday in her home on the Fstacada car line, died yesterday after noon at St. Vincent's Hospital. She re covered consciousness shortly before her death and told how her baby had tipped over the lamp, catching its dress on fire, and how she had caught fire herself in trying to save the child. Her death was expected every minute of the day, and the physicians and nurses marveled that she lived so long, considering the terri ble nature of her burns. At the bedside were her two sisters and the husband. Mr. Machette was so overcome by - the death of his wife and child that he was unable to talk, and seemed beside himself. The body was re moved to Finley's undertaking establish ment. No lnqueet will be held, and the date of the funeral has not been set. WHERE JO DINE.

COREY ' JUST GRAND" Pearl and Eunice, Aged 18 and 12 Years, Arrive in Portland to Play Engagement at Local Vaudeville Theater. TWO sisters of Mabelle Gilman, the actress, who is to become the bride of W. J3. Corey, the steel king, ar rived in Portland last night for a week's engagement at one of the vaudeville theaters. Pearl and Eunice, aged 18 and 12 respectively, are attended by their father and mother, and are to appear in a playlet entitled "Christmas Tree." They are making all the capital possible out of the notoriety which has befallen their family through the well-advertised alliance between Mabelle and the "Smoky town" captain of industry, but at one same time they are girls of winsome beadty. Both have gloriously big and beautiful eyes, limpid and languid, and they are painfully refined, but at the same time vivacious and entertaining. As to affability, that is entirely dependent upon the whims of the maternal parent who watches over them as a hawk would its offspring. Pearl and Eunice Gilman reached Port land yesterday afternoon, and were .not a bit averse to discussing the coming wedding of "Mabelle." Neither were they a bit backward about expressing their opinions of Wlliam E. - Corey, Mabelle's future husband, for they "simply adore him," although they have never set eyes upon this interesting personage. Eunice is really the more Interesting of the two, and one could hardly help falling In love with her, principally be cause of her' childish simplicity, which has by no means been blighted or spoiled by five years' experience on the stage. She Is an extremely bright and dainty miss, who apparently has learned much more In the school of experience than she has from books. While one rarely looks for ingenuous ness among people of the stage, no mat ter what their age or experience, the Gilman girls are the apotheosis of it. They seem really at a loss to understand, the furore they have created and the attention the public has given them, and insist the only reason they appear behind the footlights is because they like it. "It runs in the family," remarked Eu nice with a naive smile. At the same time they surely enjoy being made much of, even If they are doing nothing but AT THE THEATERS "Brother Officers" at the Baker. Lieutenant Calverly. .Jas. A.

Ethel Terry The Baroness Roydon : Lillian Lawrence Lieutenant Launcelot Pleydell Donald Bowles Lieutenant John Hinds. Edgar Baume Jarvis Leo Ltndhard Robert Hutton John Sainpolis AFTER a two weeks' run of medieval romantic drama the Baker players returned to the present period yesterday and appeared in a creditable performance of the modern English comedy of man ners, "Brother Officers." The play has a military setting, although it Is far from being a war play. A certain regiment of lancers stationed in the home barracks is called upon to receive a Lieutenant who has won his commission and the Victoria cross be cause of valient deeds in the neld. He is a man of the people, genuine, honest and unsophisticated in the ways of "smart" society. His fellow officers, "swells," all of them, resent the promotion of a mere sergeant to be one of them, and he finds himself in an unfriendly atmosphere. However his innate nobility and his bril liant army record serve to overcome the prejudice and he is accepted on his merits. This is the character of John Hinds, played splendidly by Edgar Baume. It has previously happened that Hinds has saved the life of young Lieutenant Pleydell, who out of gratitude stands sponsor for the new officer among the devotees of fashion. Pleydell has been gambling and has lost a large sum to Robert Hilton, a newly made Australian millionaire whom Hinds identifies as a card-sharper and race track tout of 25 years before. Hutton urges the payment of the amount which he has fleeced the young Lieutenant out of, but agrees to compromise provided Pleydell will Intro duce him into society. The latter, is in love with his beautiful cousin. Baroness Honor, whose suitor Hinds also becomes. Pleydell is faced by the alternative of dishonor and the loss of his lady love or paying Hutton 9000 out of hand. Hinds comes to the rescue, threatens to expose Hutton, forces him to forego his claim against Pleydell, saves the young Lieutenant, sacrifices his love for the Baroness, brings the young lovers-together and departs for a remote army station, to the end that happiness is the lot of all the deserving excepting him self when the play ends. Miss Lawrence plays the much beloved gentlewoman with splendid technique and feeling, making the character consistent and sympathetic. Donald Bowles as the wayward young officer returns to his most congenial line of -work in which he has few equals. The interview between Miss Lawrence and him in the third act is acting of the highest order, and Mr. Bowles in particular distinguishes him self. As the vulgar financier and former crook, John Sainpolis is again seen in one of those difficult character roles Jn which his ability finds most brilliant dis play. As has been intimated, Mr. Baume is splendidly natural and effective as the hero. Howard Russell has never done better work this season than he does as the likable young Lord. Mr. Russell makes the character perfectly rational, carefully avoiding the temptation to caricature. It is a fine piece of acting. As the matronly Lady Margaret, it has been some weeks since Mina Gleason has appeared to such good advantage. It is a part which few actresses could essay so well. Other members of the company give a good account of themselves in the lesser roles. As usual the stage settings are beauti ful. Both performances yesterday were largely patronized, the audiences attesting their approval in the warmest manner. "Brother Officers" will be repeated all week. Rock Quarry at Milwaukle. The Portland Quarry Company, which had a plant in South Portland, has leased a 10-acre tract on the Willamette River and adjoining Milwaukie on the south and has men at work making preparation for the erection of an extensive plant. It is said the tract contains first-class rock for all purposes. A rock-crushing plant to supply material for road and street work will be put up and the rock will be shipped to Portland by barge. Located as it is there will be no objec tions from the residents of the vicinity. A large force of men will be employed in this plant, and Milwaukle people re gard it as an important acquisition. shine in the reflected glory of their big sister. "How does it feel to be a prospective sister-in-law of a multi-millionaire?" they were asked. "My children (meaning Pearl and Eu nice) have never seen Mr. Corey," inter rupted the ubiquitous Mrs. Gilman with emphasis. "But we like him," exclaimed Eunice innocently. "He is Just grand," she con tinued. That was as far as she got that time. It was explained that Mr. Corey had never visited Mabelle at the family home In California, but had become acquainted with her some years ago after she be came famous as a chorus girl of "exqui site charm and perfect figure." As the result of a composite interview with the mother and the two girls, it was gathered tjiat Mr. Corey was held in almost sublime veneration because of the attentions he had bestowed on Mabelle's family. It seems from what the family said that Corey has provided father, mother and the two children with a luxu riously appointed private car to convey them to New York as soon as their pres ent round of the Coast circuit is complet ed, and that it is not to cost them one cent, and that thereafter, they had .been provided with reservations of the most palatial character on a trans-Atlantio steamer, which is to carry them to the other side in time to get acquainted with "gay Paree" before the wedding is to take place in the Spring. Both Pearl and Eunice seem to be as deeply impressed with Mabelle's rise to fame as they are with her success in enmeshing the heart of,a king of finance.' Pearl related with enthusiasm how Ma belle has risen step by step on the lad der of fame from a struggling chorus girl and had reached the dizzy heights of stellar grandeur on the stage, and how finally she has now begun studying to go into grand opera. "I think my children have talked enough." remarked Mrs. Gilman, as she gathered the interesting young brood un der her wing and bore them away. (Ma terfamillas, it is very clear, has but one thought in mind in traveling with her daughters, and that is to shield them from men. By Arthur A. Greene "Buster Brown" at the Hjellig.

"My Wife's Family" at the Empire. "My Wife's Family," which opened at the Empire yesterday to "standing room only," proved one of the snap piest, brightest and most pleasing pro ductions offered by that theater this season. It is a timely change from the heavier melodramatic productions which have been In vogue, and. in keeping with the sunshine and warm weather, is most exhilarating in its general effect. The fun-lovers were in their element, and the whole audience laughed from start to finish at the wit ticisms of the comedians, the funny sit uations and the comic songs. The most noticeable thing about "My Wife's Family" is that it is excruciat ingly funny and full of action, but is lacking entirely in so-called horse play. The many cheap characteristics of the ordinary popular-priced plays are conspicuously absent, and the com edy is legitimate in every detail. It is well costumed, the scenery is strictly up to date, and the specialties are both novel and new to the Coast. The title Is a good key to the amal gamated plot, which concerns a young married man with too much mother-in-law. In fact the large family of his better half continually mix up in his affairs, to his great discomfort and humillaiton, and frequently to his sor row. He buys his wife a piano as a surprise gift, and in some inexplicable way it gets confused with the infant of his wife's brother Willie, who has married secretly. Ambiguous notes and the prying, sharp-tongbed, trouble making motlTer-in-law brings matters to a trying climax, but they are finally straightened out and peace restored. A character of much interest in the cast is Ed Perry, who takes the comedy part of Doc. Knott, my wife's physi cian. One would not guess, to see the frisky antics of this comedian on the. stage, that he is away past the three score mark end had seen many years of experience before other members of the company were born. He was a clown in the old Poggie O'Brien cir cus of antedeluvlan days and used to travel up and down the Mississippi River in the halcyon steamboat age with various shows. He is juat as springy as ever and the way he reads his lines shows a better training than actors of today exhibit. Marie del Vecohio is another member of the old school, and, although in her sixties, does the scolding mother-in-law with a vim, working harder than any other woman on the stage. Frank Appleton makes an admirable leading man as Jack Gay, the husband, and has the audience with him every min ute. He and Perry make a splendid team, and their songs made a decided hit. Maude Moson is a winsome little soubrette who dances nimbly and brings some late Brodaway vocal suc cesses to Portland. Dorothy Vaughn, the lead, is also a fine soloist and was recalled many times to repeat her spe cialties, and several other members also contribute to the many' musical numbers which go to make the pro duction unusually attractive. The Introduction of an automobile which works in most approved fashion pleased the audience Immensely. . "My Wife's Family" will appear at the Em pire every night this week, with spe cial popular-priced matinees Wednes day and Saturday. And it is well worth going to see.
