Light & Power Company, who left the service of that corporation on a strike last December, have Joined hands with the local option voters of Sellwood and will labor to carry that precinct for local option In the June election. Petitions have been filed directing that the question of prohibiting saloons In Sellwood be sub. mltted to a vote again this year and in order to make reasonably sure of carry ing their cause, the local option workers have Joined four dry precincts with Sell wood. The combined vote in the five pre cincts will determine the question of whether saloons can be longer retained In Sellwood or not. In his enthusiasm, a member of. the Carmen's Union declared last night before the Federated Trades Council that 37 members of this union are working to have the combination of precincts go "dry." The effect of such a result would be to put out of business the saloon that is now conducted at the Oaks, the prop erty of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. The Oaks Is located In Sellwood- precinct. Iast year Sellwood precinct proper was linked with but one other precinct, which was "dry," and the .vote in the two precincts gave only a small margin against local option. Con' slderlng the new combination of pre. cincts and the attitude of nearly two-score of men looking for revenge, the prospects for the saloons in Sellwood precinct are said to be rather dubious.

Francis Richter Bids Good-by to Friends Portland's Blind Pianist Tenders m Complimentary Reeltal Will Leave Sunday for Three Tears' Study In Europe. BY ARTHUR A. GREENE. TV SMALL company of musically in t clined . people aasembled In Eilers Hall last night for the invitation recital tendered the . subscribers to the Richter fund by Francis Richter on the eve of his departure for Europe, where he will spend three years in study. It was Portland's wonderful young pian ist and composer's way of expressing his gratitude to the patrons who have made it possible for him to develop his talents under the best masters and In an atmos phere surcharged with the music of the immortals. ' Until last night I had been one of those who shared fully the enthusiasm of some of Francis Rlchter's friends regarding his present superiority or bis potential great ness as a musician. Being skeptical, I was prone to believe that his admirers, I had almost said devotees, were Influenced by heart goodness. But as I sat under the spell of his playing at this last recital all cynicism fell away. The marvelous blind boy is possessed of the little gods of genius. His sightless eyes have beheld the Glory. He has caught the inspiration that the old arch angels of music felt, and, now that he is to be given his chance. It is not sheer enthusiasm that prompts the belief that his Is a future full of high achievements. He played a varied programme last night Haydn, Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Chopin and Liszt an exacting test of his versatil ity, and only in Inconsequential details g" Wi.?U1tfVT'M.Jl' Said of Soda Crackers "They are one of the most eco nomical, digestible and nutritious of human foods and well worthy of the high estimation in which they are generally held.

It was In his own compo sition, a fantasle, that his splendid qual ity was fully manifested. As a performer Francis Richter seems certain to become famous, but it is as a composer that w may hope for the coming of a new master. Barring untoward circumstances. Port land may soon be boasting that it gave to the world blind Francis Richter. and many of us will relate with gusto how we re member him when he played the piano in cheap theater orchestras while his soul was becoming attuned to the infinite soul of melody. Those of us who have faith in the young man may appear fulsome In praise, but 1t is difficult to be conservative in speaking of him. The recital was a most graceful compliment to those who have taken an interest in his future, and Francis Rich ter may well feel that the circumstances of his farewell could not be more propi tious. Accompanied by his father, he will leave for New York tomorrow, from whence they will sail very shortly for Europe. The elder Mr. Richter will re main abroad with his son for a short time, and will then leave him in the charge of Mrs. Alma R. Rodgers, who will remain with htm during the three years of his stay. Last night's concert was arranged by Mrs. Warren E. Thomas, who has been one of the most active in the young mu sician's interests. Anderson's Trial Postponed.
