Montgomeht Slough Fill. Better prog
ress is being made on the nil across
Montgomery Siough, in Lower Albina,
now that the- Pacific Bridge Company is
bringing in regular dirt trains from the
Mount Tabor gravel pit. However, only
a fraction of the embankment has been
completed. . A considerable portion of
this work has been sublet to Schnell &
Company, who are using ordinary dirt
wagons. The high bank on the Foster
grounds is being dumped into this ravine.
The high bank on Mississippi avenue and
Goldsmith street also is being cut away
and the material dumped into the slough.
Work with dump wagons is very slow,
compared to that with trains of six cars.
Last week, near the center of the em
bankment, the new dirt settled about ten
feet, carrying down the temporary cause
way used by pedestrians, and it may be
soon that even pedestrians will not be
able to cross the embankment. The peo
ple of Albina are growing impatient over
the long time taken to complete this
work.
Work on Grand Avente Bridge. A
pileririver will be put to work on the cen
ter foundations for the Grand avenue
bridge, on Grand avenue, this week. Piles
averaging nearly 100 feet long have been
secured for the.se center piers, owing to
the marshy nature of the ground. Wheth
er these piles will be long enough to
reach a solid footing remains to be as
certained, but it ts thought that they will
fill the bill. On the concrete abutment
at the south side of the gulch work
Is progressing rapidly and the main
abutment is being completed. A large
quantity of cement Is being used
In this abutment. On the north side of
the gulch excavations for the abutment
are going forward rapidly. There is bet
ter footing here than at the south end,
as the ground, is solid. Iron for the
bridge will probably begin to arrive dur
ing April. The structure will be finished
In June.
Sellwood Volunteers Move. The fire
hall at Sellwood is being changed pre
paratory to installing the paid fire com
pany, and the Sellwood Volunteer Fire
Company has moved out its furniture.
The volunteers have been the sole pro
tection against fire in that suburb for
the past 12 years, and they retire from
active service with the best wishes and
appreciation of the community. Fire
Chief Campbell has expressed high ap
preciation of the services the company
lias rendered at Sellwood, composed as it
lias been of some of the leading men
there. The volunteers own a lot. and may
build a hall of their own and preserve
their organization. It is expected that
the paid hose company will be Installed
some time next month. The lower room
is nearly ready for the horses, and work
will start on the -upper floor this week.
Want Permanent Library Building.
The record for last month at the Monta
Vftlla reading-room was better than for
the month before. Kvery evening the
room has been crowded with young peo
ple, and the books are out constantly.
Mrs. T. K. Mitchell is the librarian. At
the lrtst meeting of the Montavilla Home
Training Circle the question of a perma
nent library was considered. N. W.
Bowland, principal of the public school,
suggested that a joint stock company be
formed and the shares sold in the suburb.
If this can be done and a lot bought and
a small building put up, the Portland
Ubrary will establish immediately a per
manent branch library. The circle fa
vored the idea,
Milwaukie Principal Resigns. Pro
fessor Seymour, principal of the Milwau
kie School, has resigned to accept a bet
ter position in Douglas County. His res
ignation will take effect April 1. From
the fact that he could greatly better h Im
pel f by the change, the directors released
him from his contract to teach through
the year. Mrs. K. Eisert, formerly Miss
Mildred Ruegg, who was principal prior
to Mr. Seymour, has been engaged as
principal for the remainder of the year.
Mr. Seymour has made many friends
during his short stay with the Milwaukie
School.

TH EY call it a problem play, but It
could hardly be classed as such. To
be sure in "As a Man Sows there is
the "eternal triangle" in which the rule
is varied by making two women and a
man at the points rather than the re
verse which has come to be the estab
lished procedure. A better designation Is
the old-fashioned one of "domestic
drama," for the "pasts of the two per
sons chiefly involved are not really bad
enough under the law to be positively
scandalous. In the long run the man gets
the worst of it through 20 years of mental
torture and the visitation of his sins upon
the heads of his children. The author
Is merciful, however, and finally brings
the jarring elements together into har
mony. The play is in a prologue and three
acts, the prologue occurring 20 years be-,
fore the play proper.
An irresponsible younger son forms an
attachment with a middle-class girl and
lives with her in a Welsh village as com
mon law man and wife. They have a
son, a bright, precocious lad, but even
the child is not sufficient of a tie to hold
the man after he concludes that his fu
ture prospects will demand that he desert
the woman. He does so and she vows
vengeance upon him.
Twenty years pass and find him a rich
but unhappy widower, a Baronet of mid
dle age with a stepdaughter, the woman
whom he subsequently married having
left to his care a daughter by her former
marriage. Sir Noel has suffered the
pangs of conscience and has found reap
ing the whirlwind a sorry business.
In the first act the wronged woman
and their son, now grown to be a hand
some fellow and an artist of reputation,
re-enter the Baronet's life. The son falls
in love with the stepdaughter, but his
mother, intent upon her revenge, con
trives to keep them apart until affection
for her son and a reawakened love for
the man who injured her in the long
ago overcome her desire for vengeance.
She finally accepts Sir Noel's offer of a
tardy marriage and gives the young people
her blessing. There are four other char
acters in the play which supply much
of the interest in an incidental way.
Lillian Lawrence proves quite equal to
the trying role of Brenda, the unhappy
woman in the case. Her work Is well
shaded to fit the conflicting attitudes of
mind which the character assumes and
she elicits all the sympathy it seems
possible to gain. Miss Lawrence looks
unusually stunning in a gray wig and
wears some handsome gowns.
Edgar Baume as Sir Noel has one of
those parts in which a leading man
cordially hates himself. It cannot be a
pleasant thing even to assume to be
such a consummate cad and coward as
this particular wife and child-deserter is.
Mr, Baume "gets by" with it as success
fully as he could expect to.
Maribel Seymour has by all odds the
best assignment in the piece, that of
Norah Fitzgerald, the adorable little Irish
girl. And does Miss Seymour play the
part? Does she? Well. I should say,
emphatically and with three exclamation
points. That dashing little ingenue has
never given a commonplace performance
since she Joined the company, but this
week she gets clear beyond hailing dis
tance of anything she has previously
done. She runs away with the show and
keeps most of it for herself.
Miss Lawrence and Mr. Baume are to
The Harrv Wood
What a Leading' American Magazine Has to Say Anent Inspection of Meats:
(Extracts from "COLLIER'S" of March 16.)
As conditions were described ill Chicago a year ago, so they are today in the slaughter
houses where is killed half the" beef eaten in the United States.
The remedy f State laws just like the Federal law. Every Legislature now in session should
pass them. All the commotion of the Sinclair book, the McNeill-Reynolds report and the Con
gressional debate are exactly as much au argument for State laws as they were for the Federal
law. If all this commotion meant anything, if it had any foundation in fact, then every Legisla
ture now in session should pass a State meat-inspection law.
There will be strenuous objection. The farmer wants to sell his cow, too old to be useful for
milk, to the local butcher. lie wants to retain, also, the privilege which he now enjoys under
the National law of killing and shipping from state to state without inspection merely by certi
fying that he is a farmer. The farmer is a power to be reckoned with at state capitals, but he
can be convinced that inspection -will not hurt him.
"Inspection is costly," say the small packers and butchers. "The regulations would force us
out of business. The blood-soaked ground underneath and around our little killing sheds can't
be drained. Our little rendering plants would not conform to the specifications, and we can't
afford to buy others for the small business we do. Our storage rooms are makeshifts, but are
all we can afford. "We are not equipped to utilize the by-products out of which the big pack
ers make such a large percentage of their profits. "
But all these objections can be cared for, and should be cared for in the State law. The big
packers object to the following suggestion as impracticable; their notion is that the refrigerator
car should supplant the local killing plants. But it is offered as a basis for discussion : ' Combine
in one inspection district a number of small slaughtering - houses and ' apportion the inspector's
time among them. Under this plan Jones could slaughter on Monday morning, Brown on Tues
day afternoon, and Smith on Friday. In the larger towns that at present are ringed round with
numbers of filthy little killing sheds the obvious solution is to build a single abattoir where ex
penses can be shared, where inspection is easy to maintain, where parts can be turned to profit
that have not been used before.
(J And yet it is the boast of some meat dealers that they have and do oppose in
spection of meats. WHY? '
J Shall Portland risk the lives of her people longer by allowing uninspected
meats to go on the family tables?
I When you buy meats at the HARRY WOOD MARKET you know what you're
getting Healthful, wholesome, Government Inspected Meats.
fl Can you better these prices? The meats are Oregon's BEST.

be congratulated on their liberal-minded-ness
in relinquishing the principal honors
of the week to a mere ingenue. Howard
Russell, who plays the comedy role op
posite Miss Seymour, Is doing the most
finished acting he has shown us during
the present season. Mr, Russell has rea
son to feel proud of his work this week.
At all events his friends are.
Donald Bowles and Ethel Terry are seen
as the young lovers who finally surmount
the difficulties which circumstances have
placed in their path. Mr. Bowles in his
proper element is a very fine juvenile,
and as" a matter of course Is excellent
as Roy Marsten. The part of Lettice
Vane is a large order for so young and
inexperienced an actress as Miss Terry,
but the young lady fully justifies the con
fidence reposed in her when asked to
play the role. On the whole she proves
fuliy equal to it.
Mrs. Gleason and William Dills acquit
themselves splendidly considering that
they find themselves in decidedly color
less roles, while William and James Glea
son play the bits for all they are worth,
Little Dell Banks, who appears only in
the prologue, deserves a word of com
mendation. The stage setting showing an Irish land
scape and the oak-paneled drawing-room
in the manor are works of art.
I feel very sure you'll enjoy 'As a
Man Sows."
"The Cowboy's Girl" at tlie Empire.
The cowboy has found a place in Amer
ican drama, and the man of the plains
Is here to stay. Most every playgoer has
witnessed "The Virginian." and a num
ber of other plays in which -the man in
chaps is the hero, and the scenes are laid
on the prairie. The Empire comes for
ward with this class of a production this
week. "A Cowboy's Girl" is one of the
beat productions that Manager Seaman
has put on this year. As the name indi
cates, the play is built up around a man
of the frontier, and the Western girl has
one of the most important parts. The
plat Is simple, and the long-separated
brother and sister and the wicked army
officer hold the center of the stage. The
story opens where the woman pleads with
her faithless lover to save her from dis
grace, and that wicked individual ruth
lessly shoots down an inoffensive old
woman. The rest of the s,tory is simple.
The adopted son of the murdered woman
hunts down the villain and finds in the
wronged woman his long-lost sister.
The staging of the play is satisfactory,
and few of the minor details escape at
tention. Among the players Edgar Barnett, as
Jack Sutton the cowboy, is no doubt the
best. His work is far above ithat of the
rest of the company. He dresses the part
to perfection, and he is as natural a cow
boy as one could expect to see either on
the plains or on the stage.
The rest of the acting is mediocre, and
little dramatic talent is shown by the
other members of the company. Ruby
Lush by, as Nell, a Western girl, does some
good work, but' it is strained at times. Jay
Ray, who plays the part of Captain Frank
Morgan, scoundrel and villain of the deep
est dye, also does good work, but is in
clined to overact. "A Cowboy's Girl"
will hold the boards all week, with mati
nees Wednesday and Saturday.
