As far as heard from,- the clubs have been appointing their representatives to the federation, and there promises to be a large attendance. The idea of federa tion came from the suburban push clubs mainly, as they desired to get into closer touch with the larger organizations. According to the plan adopted at the preliminary meeting, every club will be on the same level so far as representation is concerned. No matter how large or small the membership1 a club may have, it will be entitled to five votes on all questions. This plan was adopted to guard against any possible attempt to "pack" a meeting in favor of any measure. The real object of the federation is to get concert of ac tion on matters that pertain to the whole of the East Side. The local organizations will remain as at present and look after neighborhood affairs. Through its five delegates to the federation the cluM will handle the larger questions ot puuuu interest.

Rival Candidates for Mayor of St. Johns Declare Themselves. Between Councilman S. C. Norton and TC. C. Couch, candidates for Mayor of St. Johns, the voters will have difficulty to make a choice at tne pon. -uu-cllman Norton has been a member of the Council for two years, and the storm center of that body on most all questions that have come up. Mr. Couch is a well-known and successful business man. who has been a resident for the past three years. In speaking of his candidacy. Mr. Couch said: "My platform Is very short: Econo my," the honest administration of the city government, and the enforcement of the laws, are my principles." Councilman Norton s platlorm is very much the same as ttat of his opponent, only, as he has been m the Council for the past year, he will be somewhat on the defensive. He said: "T nm n firm believer in the present high license, and the enforcement of the ordinances or the city, as long a the saloonman obeys the ordinances of the citv. as thev have been passed by the Council, or embodied in the charter, he need have no fear of Interference from me. If elected, I shall take ac tion to have the City Hall, which has been dragging, completed at the least expense to the city. I have been at tacked on account of the tax levy. Well. as chairman of the finance committee. had that matter In my hands, and with the committee, fixed the levy at 7 mills. After a most careful study of the financial situation, we made the levy as low as possible. I considered It better to pay off our city debts now than to carry them to a time wnen the city might not be so prosperous as now." C. W.

Russell f . .............. PORTLAND again enters the limelight as a producing center through the pre sentation by the Baker Theater Company of a piece absolutely new to the Pacific Coast and, in fact, to all the country, ex cepting the Atlantic seaboard, where it was seen for a brief season last Summer. It is "Shannon of the Sixth," a British military drama, dealing with Incidents of the Sepoy mutiny of 1857, when Britain's native Indian troops revolted and raised merry Hades with the remote army sta tions In the Far East. The central figure Is an Irishman, who, through his personal courage and devotion to duty, rises to a place of honor in the army, much to the dissatisfaction of his brother officers, who resent the idea of a man coming up from the ranks. The young Irishman is accused by a Jealous rival in love of robbing a native temple of a diamond of fabulous value and vast religious signifi cance. Crcumstantial evidence is all against Shannon and for a time he Is a refugee in the hills, a thing despised of men. Eventually, as is so often the case on the stage, but so seldom in fact, the truth comes out and the young officer is placed right with the army and the woman he Is foolish over. "Shannon of the Sixth" is not a great play. The Baker players have appeared In many better, but it somehow appeals very strongly to the average theater goer. It has the dramatic quality to a marked degree and Is just melodramatic enough to fix and hold the attention. If asked to pin myself down to absolute truth, I should say that the best work of the performance is done by Louise Kent, is the Sepoy woman, and Arthcr Mack ley, as the villainous Captain Arlington. Both these parts are splendidly played and stand out from all the rest as features of the play that one will remember, Fjdgar Baume, as Shannon, works hard, but has little opportunity to distinguish himself, and the same may also be said of Lillian Lawrence. Among the others, William Gleason Is technically and temperamentally correct as the old colonel. Maribel Seymour gets all the laughs that she's entitled to as the Eng lish debutante, and Donald Bowles does bravely a part entirely unsulted to him. As for the rest, nobody is positively bad, and nobody so good that tho fireworks need be set off. The stage settings are first-class. "Shannon of the Sixth" will run all week. WHERE JO DINE. AH the delicacies of the season at the Portland Restaurant; fine private apart ments for parties, 305 Wash., near ith. Preacher "Will Tonr Europe. FOREST GROVE, Or., March 17. (Spe cial.) The Congregational Church of this city has granted a four months' Jeave of absence, beginning the first week in June, to Its pastor. Rev. Herbert W. Boyd. He expects to Join his brother and other friends in New York and spend the Summer in Europe. His family will visit at their old home in Massachusetts. "The King or Tramps" at Empire- Just why the genus hobo should prove such an unfailing source of ecstatic delight to a certain important element of the great American public I've never been able to determine; but notwithstanding, and also nevertheless, he Is. The tramp play has had an unmistakable vogue among the lovers of melodrama for many years, and yesterday afternoon when I looked in on "The King of Tramps" at the Empire I was forced to concede that that tramp hero Is neither rheumatic with age nor yet gone into senile decay. Patrons of low-priced theatrical enter tainment like the drama, save the mark, seTvcd up to them blood rare. They want It quivering with crude elemental emo tion whether it be leaning toward the grave or gay. If there is a killing com ing off they aren't satisfied to have the actors tell about It in more or less dls passionate narrative form, they insist on seeing the shot fired or the big knife siuck in snugly between the upper ribs They don't .cafe so much about the milliner's or the haberdasher's but they pay the butcher's bill without asking em barrassing questions. On the other hand, they dote on the aesthetic delights of swift kicks by way of comedy and go sound asleep over epi grams which the misguided high brows find highly amusing. In view of this attitude of the masses "The King of Tramps" is a success. What it lacks in novelty and literary avoirdu pois It more than makes up in slam bang activity and primitive fun. Yester day's audiences were convinced that the show is a feast of pulse-quickening thrills and side-splitting merriment. And since that was the Impression "The King of Tramps" made we must concede its suc cess in serving the purpose for which it is Intended. The company and scenery are all that the play requires.

ERROR OF OVER $46,000 Through a typographical error in the account of the transfer of the big East Side department store known as the Em porium to the Shafer-Whittler Company In Sunday's Oregonian and the announce ment of the monster bankrupt sale of Its stock about to be held to close out its stock, it was made to appear that the amount involved was only $10,000. The exact amount of stock really reaches ex actly $56,800. (Fifty-six thousand eight hundred.) The sale opens next Saturday. LOTS OF GOOD COAL.

A Plain Talk to Plain People About Oregon's Best Meats and Their Cost at HARRY WOOD MARKET At First and Alder Streets-ON THE CORNER Excerpts from an address delivered Saturday evening before the 'Academy of Science by City Health Officer Dr. C. H. Wheeler The Doctor Tells Academy of Science What Con fronts the City Health Department Meat Inspection Is Vitally Needed. (From Sunday Journal). Butchers, bakers, milkmen, street-sweepers and the springs in Hawthorne Park all suffered alike last night in an address by City Health Officer C. H. Wheeler, made before the Academy of Science, on the sani tation and public health of the City of Portland. All the problems that confront the Health Board were dis cussed and suggestions made for the improvement of the health service. Many revelations were laid bare by the health officer. He told how DISHONEST tradesmen were striv ing to avoid the health laws, and how the health of the city was thereby greatly endangered. For the inspec tion of meats alone he said one man ought to be continually employed, and it takes all the efforts of the board to secure reports of the breaking out of epidemics. He said that the Health Department, with its present force, was unable to cope with dishonest tradesmen, but that they succeeded in keeping a great majority of them considerably perturbed most of the time. The address was very interesting, and the members present enjoyed every word. Many amusing instances were cited where smallpox patients fought the quarantine and the pesthouse, only to be subdued finally by the authorities, Note, please, the term applied by the doctor to those who oppose and "try to avoid the health laws." Beware of those markets that oppose United States Government inspection of meats, by abuse, threats, cajolerj-, deceit, sophistry and ridiculous plagiarism. Take no chances of ruining your health by eating uninspected meats of unknown parent age! What's the use?
