Never Carries Umbrella. "Where is
your umbrella, Jeff?" inquired a guest
at the Commercial Club yesterday after
noon when Jefferson Myers, exposition
promoter and general all-around booster
for the Beaver state, with his coat liber
ally sprinkled with Oregon mist, entered
tlie office of Manager Richardson. "Nev
er carried an umbrella In my life." re
torted the genial Jen. " consider such
an article a useless burden to be carried
in a state that has such a delightful cli
mate as Oregon. It's no way to adver
tise Oregon by carrying an umbrella."
With this explanation, the man that was
largely instrumental in making the Lewis
and Clark Exposition the success that it
proved, engaged Manager Richardson In
a discussion,, reminiscent in its vein, in
which the gentle downpour outside was
soon forgotten.

chairs and a phonograph. The loss Is
about $10i. A telephone message was

tisement for Oregon. Dr. Brougher
lunched with Manager Tom Richardson,
President Hodson and George W. Boos,

Reposition. Mr. Boos has visited the
states of Montana. Idaho and Utah, for

TT DELICIOUS little satire on the so
r called problem play is "Allte-Sit-By-tbe-Fire,"
ot which Portland play
goers have heard much. An opportun
ity was given them to see it at the Hei
lig last night, and those who took advan
tage of that opportunity were well re
paid. While the -Alice in the case was not
Ethel Barrymore. we enjoyed the next
best privilege, that of seeing Roselle
Knott, a finished actress and one who has
never yet failed her public. She has
starred here in a varied round of plays
and is something of a Portland favorite.
The Barrie comedy in which she ap
peared last night is in the nature ot a
new departure for her. but it Is no lees
a successful one. for she's a dear, de
lightful heroine Of a dear, delightful play.
Barrle's delicate humor.-by its very na
ture, appeals to those who understand
and appreciate comedy refined to its very
essence. Last night's audience was a
cordial one and thoroughly approved both
the star and the play.
The little Scotch dramatist did not put
his very best efforts into "Alice-Sit-By-the-Fire"
such a lot of name but it is
a piece which he need not be ashamed
of anywhere. Its theme is novel and the
working out of the story beautiful in its
simplicity.. The idea of satirizing the
modern problem play was a brilliant one
in itself, but when one stops to consider
he wonders why no one thought of doing
it before. Barrie has succeeded In turn
ing the happy Inspiration to good pur
pose. I don't believe in spoiling a good
story by a bad tilling ot It. so you'll
have to see for yourselves or ask a
friend. Of this I'm sure, however, if you
like delicacies you will enjoy "AIice-SitT
By-the-Fire."
Miss Knott is supported by a capable
cast. There are only nine people in the
play and naturally each one must con
tribute a measureable portion.
The father. Colonel Grey, is splendidly
played by Eric Blind, an English leading
man of that excellent type which makes
us cease to wonder why we import so
many of them. It is an interesting co
incidence that the part of Amy Grey, the
16-year-old daughter of the hyphenated
Alice, is, in fact, played by Viola Knott,
the young daughter of the star. The
younger MisS Knott is a sweet, unaffect
ed girl, in every way better suited to play
that sort than a more experienced and
technically correct actress.
Robinson Newbold is a juvenile leading
man of good ability and makes a desir
able Stephen. The settings are equal to
the reautrements. which are not large.
Tonight and tomorrow matinee and
night, "Alice" will "Sit-By-the-Fire."
PLAN A REORGANIZATION
Creditors of Oregon Securities Cora
pally to Be Satisfied.
The mining properties of the Oregon
Securities Company, which went on' the
shoals a short time ago. will he sold
under forced sale to satisfy the claims
against the corporation, which wilt then
be reorganized, the officials say. and a
new company formed to take over the
properties and continue development work.
The company is said to have been bank
rupted through its mistaken policy of
working out the free milling ore bodies
and neglecting the base ores. The dis
trict is said to be essentially a base ore
district and in the future the -management
will develop those ore bodies.
G. B. Hengen. of New York, secretary
and treasurer of the Oregon Securities,
was in Portland yesterday and explained
the plan of reorganization. He says a
new corporation will be formed to take
up the properties of the old company,
which will be bid in at the foreclosure
sale April 22.
A name for the new organization has
not yet been chosen, hut its capital stock
will be tl.30D.0iM. This will consist of 400.
000 shares of preferred stock, which will
be preferred only as to dividends, and
1,100.000 shares of common stock. The
preferred stock has been sold to Eastern
bondholders of the old company at 60
cents, together with 400,000 shares of com
mon stock at 20 cents. This money will
be used to liquidate the present indebted
ness of the old company, amounting to
SW30.000, affording the new company pos
session of 'the properties clear of debt.
There will be some changes in the offi
cials of the reorganized company and
Mr. Hengen expects to have at least two
Portland directors. A few of the officials
of the old organization will remain.
The difficulty in keeping the old com
pany afl6at is said to have been its heavy
capitalization and the difficulty in meet
ing the interest and fixed charges. The
debt will be wiped out and the stock cut
down so that the new company will have
only about 25 per cent as much stock as
the Oregon Securities. This, It is be
lieved, will be the means of putting the
company on a good business basis.
