The ecwnrags question Is a problem for the people, of Sellwood. and the more the Sellwood Board of Trade wrestles with It the further It seems from a solution. The plans prepared by Engineer. Gilbert provided for sewerage for the district be tween Bast Fifteenth street and the river, but this was considered too small a ter ritory, as it left out half of the suburb, and the engineer was Instructed to ex tend the district to East Nineteenth street. This will still leave out all the suburb east of Nineteenth street: besides t it does not provide for flood wa'ter. On motion, at the meeting of the Board, Monday night, the engineer was asked to submit figures of sewerage for carrying on heavy rainfall.' Walter Adams, F. H. Gehlke and J. W. Camp boll were appointed to ascertain whether all the streets of Sellwood can be im proved at the same time. This committee was authorized to appoint any number of subcommittees that may be needed to in terview the property-owners on the dif ferent streets. It will be necessary to have separate petitions for each street Improvement now that the charter amend ment providing for Improvement by dis trict Is In doubt. Campaign of Treb Planting. Under the auspices of a committee from the Sellwood Board of Trade, the planting of trots in front of homes in that suburb bepan yesterday. Blank cards were dis tributed to the school children and the patrons of the Sellwood Branch Library. On the cards blank spaces are left in which may be written the names of the trees wanted, whether ornamental, nut of fruit. These cards also show the wholesale! prices of the trees. It is desired to have two trees planted for every 50-foot lot in Sellwood. It is advised that if these trees are planted deep enough the roots will not injure concrete sidewalks. The cards filled out will tie returned to Rev. D. A. Thomp son, J. W. Caldwell and C. T. Price, or l'rofessor Strong of the Sellwood school. The committee hopes that every lot owner will secure at least two trees and plant them. Bridge Committee Organizes. Dele pntes from the civic clubs of the Bast Bide, appointed for the purpose, met last night at the Sargent Hotel and organized to Inaugurate a movement to regulate the draws of the bridges across the Willam ette River.

A LINE THE PHOTOGRAPHER Columbia Bldg-. West Park and Wash. RISER CALENDARS lOe UP. Halfprlce while last. 248 Alder. f'Mr. Barnes o! New York," at the Lyric IT is a most fteresting and capable interpretation of Archibald Claver lng Gunter's well-known play, "Mr. Barnes of New York," that Is presented by the Allen Stook Company at the Lyric Theater this Week. The play is billed as a comedy-drama, and while there are Indeed laughs enough, the tragic vein running through seems enough to warrant it being classed as a melodrama. The story of the play deals with the efforts of an American to prevent the consummation of a vendetta sworn by a Corsican maiden who seeks to avenge the death of her brother, who has been killed in a duel with an English naval officer. The story has been so gen erally read and the play enacted here with a sufficient frequency to make it unnecessary to dwell at length on the plot. As Marina Paoll, the Corsican maiden seeking her brother's murderer and who later falls in love with an English officer, Miss Verna Felton essays the hotblooded, emotional girl of the Mediterranean Isle In a manner that would do credit to a tragedienne of much greater note. Truly the work of this clever young star grows more in teresting at every new role she essays. Those who witnessed her splendid per formance, "The Transgressors," two weeks ago, should not miss seeing her work this week. The comedy vein running through the piece is furnished principally by Bprightly little Ella Houghton, who cleverly enacts the role of a young girl of 14 compelled by her aspiring mother to dress and act as a child of 11. " Mr. Burton H. Barnes, of New Tork, the versatile Gothamite traveling In Europe where he falls madly in love. Is played most capably by Forrest Sea bury, who gives a most pleasing per formance. Irving Kennedy makes a capital lover in' the part of Edwin Arnstruther, who Is In love with the impetuous Marina, and as .his sister. Miss Marie Thompson, is doing the best work since she has been a member of the popular stock company. Rupert Drum gives a highly creditable inter pretation of the pa of Count Donello, guardian of Marina, and as Tomasso Monaldo, the aged Corsican anxious to take up the vendetta in the event that Marina falls, G. L. Walling is worthy of special mention. The other roles are well portrayed, and those who miss "Mr. Barnes of New Tork" will regret it The play is billed for the entire week with the usual matinees. At the Vaudeville Theaters Grand. THE patrons of the Grand Theater have a treat in store this week, for the enlarged bill contains eight special ties, each of which is an attraction by It self. Singing, dancing, trained animals, both from the jungle and the city, pretty girls and excellent voices, round out an entertainment that has been seldom sur passed in the Portland vaudeville show houses. Pre-eminently the star attraction on the programme are Adgie and her lions. Ad gie has been seen here 'before, and so have Madame Panda and Madame Schell, but the diminutive, but nervy woman now appearing here is without any ques tion the premier in the art of taming the "king of beasts." The morbidly curious are always on the alert for a lion taming act, or some feat whereby the human is seen evincing superiority over the brute, whether the latter be of the jungle or the farmyard. ; Adgie and her Hons perform in the most thrilling manner. The little woman compels xne apparently vicious but thoroughly cowed animals to leap and cavort around the big cage In seem ingly as easy a manner as Bob Stlckney puts his Shetland pony and dog through their parts earlier on the programme. This contrast Is unique if not striking, for It displays the extraordinary possl bilities of animal subservience to the will of the human. The three Keltons in a musical act are worthy of being classed as the most ver satile trio to appear here In that specialty for some time. Little Gladys Kelton, a very pretty little maid, plays a solo on the xylophone while blindfolded and the instrument covered with a sheet. She also distinguishes herself as a member of the family orchestra wherein she plays the snare drum, the base drum, cymbals, chimes and small xylophone in a manner that astonishes the male virtuoso in that line in the theater orchestra. Her pa rents play the cornet and trombone. Miss Kelton also amuses the patrons with a trick buck dancing specialty that elicits considerable applause. Mrs. Ciss Kelton contributes a solo on the cornet that Is a remarkable feat. " Madame Anna Plum, who is surrounded by a trio of peaches, renders some highly pleasing songs of the latest as well as of ancient vintage. At the opening perform ances the quartet were encored repeated ly. Ned Nye is really a funny fellow. His monologue and dancing act are well worth while, a comedy skit by Charles B. .Nelson and Marie Milledge Is amusing. Joe Thompson sings "School Days," ac companied by the Illustrations, in the usual Thompsonesque manner, while the moving pictures depict scenes from ""Ben Hur" including the famous chariot-race scene. Don't miss the Grand this week for it presents one of the best bills of the season. Pantages. ONE ACT at Pantages Theater this week stands out prominently as the best In the line that has been seen in Portland for months, and probably out side of some of the big circus acts has never been equaled here. On the pro gramme It is billed as the Luigi Piccaro trio, and as hand balancers and acrobats of the sensational order they surely are entitled to the palm. To explain their act would be futile, as the only manner in which to appreciate it Is t . witness their startling- feats. While not billed as the top-line attraction, they are neverthe less the feature of a very good bill. The act that Is featured is the operatic singing trio known on the stage as the Delaur troubadours. Two women and a man, all with splendid voices and wear ing elegant costumes, sing selections from both English and Italian grand opera in a most pleasing manner. In addition to the two main attractions there Is a unique act essayed by Marcello, who pulls down the curtains of his studio and twists them into busts startlingly true to life. The attraction of this act is that it is out of the ordinary.
