First-Street Property-Owners and Tenants are requested to meet at the Chamber of Commerce hall this evening at 7:30 o'clock to take steps to have First street properly paved, and have the street railway company put down the new re quired heavy rails, and to fence up 1U portion of the street, and to maintain the streetcars on the street as called for. It is very Important that every property owner or tenant Interested along First street should attend this meeting, and it may be necessary to take some steps to prevent the Chinese from coming- in on First street. This can readily be done as there is a constitutional provision pro hibiting the Chinese from owning real properly in this state. It may be necessary for concerted efforts to prevent such oc cupation. You should attend this meeting because -other sections of the city are being improved and First street must keep up its prestige. A. N. Gambell, sec retary; Charles K. Henry, president. Huge PileT Driver. A huge pile driver has -been built for use In driving 100-foot piles for the center piers of the Grand avenue bridge over Sullivan's Gulch, where the solid bottom is many feet down. When the first trestle for the O. R. & N.- railway was built through the gulch one pile was driven on top of another before solid footing was obtained for the piles, but as the gulch has since been partly filled in, no such difficulty Is expected even in the central portion. A powerful crane also has been rigged to handle the steel sections of the bridge. The iron now fills up Grand avenue south of the bridge site and when the central piers are ready the steel sections will be quickly swung into place. Hood River Dentist Married. Dr. H. Dudley V.

The Inter state Commerce Commission has ren dered Its first opinion in a case In volving the reasonableness of an ex press rate. The case was brought by the Society of American Florists, who claimed that the rate charged by the United States Express Company on cut flowers from New Jersey points to New York City, was unreasonable, exces sive and unjust. This rate until July 1906, was fifty cents per hundred pounds, and at that time was raised to $1. Commissioner Lane, who delivered the opinion, holds that the rate could be reduced to 60 cents. The express company defended its increase in Its rate by claiming that the delivery service given cut flowers In New York was more expensive than that given other articles and that it could not increase Its rate to a sufficient amount to meet the expense of this special service without largely increasing the total rate, because of its contracts with the railroads, under which It is required to pay 45 per cent of its gross receipts to the railroad companies for their service.

Ed ward Wilcox 4 YESTERDAY afternoon marked . the debut of Miss Louise Kent as a leading -woman. It was an auspicious occasion, ana justified enthusiastic felici tation for Miss Kent, the management, and all the members of the company. "The Cowboy and the Lady Vas -thS fering. and a better all 'round perform ance has never been given by the Baker Company. For a first performance, yesterday's matinee was exceptionally smooth. Every member of the cast seemed letter perfect, and each worked with such con fidence that it might have been a bill which they had been playing an entire season. If Miss Kent was nervous the audience had no inkling of It. She was self-contained at all times, and acted with ad mirable restraint and reserve. Never once did she betray the fact that the occasion was In any way critical. It is no small undertaking for this young actress to assume the place occupied so long and creditably by Lillian Lawrence, who has left to accept an important Eastern engagement. The part of Mrs. Weston, in which Maxine Elliott won an early triumph, is a difficult one, and is a severe test. That Miss Kent arose to the occasion so well is greatly to her credit. She was very favorably received, and the frequent and spontaneous applause of the audience testified their warm approval. It has fallen to the lot of Edgar Baume to play a number of roles lately In which the most famous stars have appeared. He followed Willie Collier's lead in "The Dictator" last . week, and now he Is placed in a simllor situation concerning Nat Goodwin. In both Instances he comes out with flying colors, having done so well that he has not suffered in the least by comparison with the creators of these roles. His Teddy North Is satisfy ing to the most severely critical patrons of the Baker. The decided novelty of seeing Mrs. Mina Crollus Gleason playing an ec centric comedy part, and the beautifully artistic manner In which she did it. makes her Miss Prissims. the dance hall pianist, as one of the features of the per formance which Is certain to be longest remembered. If she is not a thing of beauty she is certainly a Joy forever, as the vulgar, gum chewing near-musician of the hurdy-gurdy. The part is so en tirely foreign to Mrs. Gleason's natural refinement and gentleness that those in the audience rubbed their eyes and re fused to believe at first. Her superiority as an artist has seldom been so effectively demonstrated. William Harris as Joe, the lovable, sentimental cow-puncher, made one of the hits of the piece. Mr. Harris has given us a number of similar character izations which have been capital In every respect. As a portrayer of frontier types his work convinces me that he would be highly successful in such a part as Steve in "The Virginian," for in stance. Donald Bowles has another character part, that of Jim, the mur derous half-breed, which he plays splen didly. Maribel Seymour is a very natural and sympathetic Midge, the pet of the ranchmen. Week after week Lucile Webster is showing distinct advancement as a very capable and versatile actress. She plays Molly Larkins, who runs the dance hall, after Clyde Fitch's own heart. It is doubtful If the author himself could sug gest an Improvement in her Interpreta tion. I've seen the kind of woman Mollie was on her native heath, the Colorado mining camps. Miss Webster Is the character to the life. Arthur Mackley as the sleek. Insinu ating "genteel heavy," gives a fine in dividual performance, and William Dills, wiinom Rleason. Howard Russell, Lyn- inr Athev and James Gleason deserve much commendation for tneir excellence in the less Important parts. Tho nlv is well staged and costumed Yesterday's audiences tested the capacity of the theater and were unreserved in their approval. "The Cowboy and the Lady" will run all the Tseek. GOOD MELODRAMA AT EMPIRE "She Dared Do Right" Pleases Two Big Sunday Audiences. "She Dared Do Right," a rattling good melodrama, is the bill by the Seaman Stock Company at the Empire this week. There was but one verdict given by those who witnessed the first production yester day afternoon, all agreeing that it is the best performance tnuj popular com pany has given since It opened at the Morrison-street playhouse. One thing Is certain, and that is that the company gives a better entertainment than more pretentious companies that charge double prices and do not have enough "nerve" to give more than one performance in a city. When you go to the Empire you are assured of an enjoyable entertain ment by a company of more than average ability, every member of which does his best. Raymond Whltaker, Herbert Ashto-C. Kehoe and Leo Lindhard. thsr"' latter formerly of the Baker Stock Company, Margaret Pitt and Ethel Jones are as signed the principal roles this week. Kehoe, as Henry Bennett, the Coffee King, seeks to force the marriage of his divorced daughter, Grace, who Is faithful ly Impersonated toy Ethel Jones, to Paul Harding, played by Raymond Whltaker, a rich and thoughtless young man. Ben nett sought to bring about tnls alliance to perpetuate the business relations that existed between himself and Harding, Sr. The yoiJng people do not favor the match (ID ram THE POLICYHOLDERS' COMPANY BEST FOR AN 0REG0NIAN Home Office Cor.

In a final effort to carry out his game, Bennett employs Emma Potts (Jessie Stewart), a dealer in secrets, to deliver in the apartments of the Hope woman the dead body of an Infant child, with the murder of which the innocent girl is afterwards charged. In the trial which follows, the villian Is foiled by the ad missions of his confederate and it de velops through a photograph that he is the father of the seamstress, against whose life and happiness he had plotted. The story ends with a general reunion, the daughter being restored to her estranged husband, Robert Hyde, a young lawyer, who Is impersonated by Mr. Lindhard. , Miss Hope, who dared do the right, be comes the wife of Harding and happy conditions are restored from a sadly com plicated situation.
