Plans for Sellwood Sewer. Sewer
plans lor Sellwood, as prepared by the
City Engineer, were submitted for con
sideration at the meeting of the Sell
wood Board of Trade Monday night. Ac
cording: to these plans the City Engineer
has made two districts of that suburb.
The district between East Fifteenth and
the Willamette Kiver will be provided
with the combined eystem that will carry
off the sewage and storm water. This
system will cost on an averase of $70 a
lot. As there are 1-160 lots In this district
the entire cost will be $102,:i00. For the
district east of Kast Fifteenth street a
sanitary system Is provided, the sewage
to flow Into a septic tank near Johnson
freek. The cost of a lot in this dis
trict Is estimated at J70 or a total of
12,000 on 600 lots. This would make the
total cost of the sewerage for Sellwood
fobt up to 1144.000, which Includes the
laterals to the curb as well as the main
conduits. The Sellwood Board of Trade

The committee appointed to raise funds
with which to pay for the present East
Side library building on East Eleventh

Hotel Monday night, O. M. Scott, the
chairman, presiding. From reports on
subscriptions it appeared that over $1000
had been secured, leaving $1500 yet to be
raised to complete the sum needed. The
matter of raising the balance of the
money was discussed at length, but no

it was decided to hold another meeting.
Owing to the fact that the men on the

is probable that canvassers will be em

settled so that the question of raising the

Miss Edith C. Noyes In
Dramatic Recital
By Nancy Lee.
mM IS3 EDITH COBURN NOTES, of
f the Emerson School of Oratory, of
" Boston, appeared last night before
an audience at St. Helen's Hall in the de
lightful comedy, "She Stoops to Conquer."
Miss Noyes' initial appearance before a
Portland audience was on Saturday last
at the reception given by the local chap
ter of the Daughters of the American
Revolution at the residence of Mrs. A.
E. Rockey, on Flanders street. On. that
occasion she was received with great en
thusiasm when she presented the spark
ling comedy of Colonial times, 'Veg
W'offington."
Miss Noyes has the art of self-effacement
to a marked degree and the ability
to portray to her listeners the Individ
uality of the various characters,, having
each role as full of vitality as If the act
ors were present In material form. Her
keen perception of humor, her remark
able facial expression and her Intellect
ual perception of the various tempera
ments enacted were charming. The serv
ant's scene served to show Miss Noyes'
great versatility, and she omitted no op
portunity in delineating the rich humor of
this act.
It is to be regretted that the presenta
tion of "She Stoops to Conquer" was the
last opportunity to be given Portlanders
to view Miss Noyes' brilliant work. This
is her first appearance West, and she is
now en route to Boston, going via Cali
fornia, Texas and Georgia. Miss Noyes
was also most favorably received last
Monday afternoon at an Informal recep
tion given by Mrs. Wallace- McCamant,
regent of the local chapter of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution.
FAVOR. FINE STEEL BRIDGE
I'nlted Push Clubs Distuss Proposed
Madison-Street Structure.
At the meeting of the United East Side
Push Clubs last night at the Sargent
Hotel, County Commissioner Lightner, -a
guest of the clubs, declared his belief'
that the Madison bridge should be re
placed as soon as possible with a new
and modern steel structure. He said it
should be built along better lines than
had been contemplated and of heavier
steel, so it could carry a permanent pave
ment. Mr. Lightner also Intimated that
the County Court was uneasy about the
safety of the Madison bridge and de
clared that it would be a great calamity
if an accident should happen. Acting on
these suggestions the cluhs passed a res
olution declaring that active steps -should
be taken to rebuild it and that a bond
issue to provide the money should be
voted on at the June election.
W. L. Boise, A. G. Rushlight, Ben
Riesland, G. - C. Sutherland and J. F.
Kertchem were appointed a special bridge
committee to co-operate with a like com
mittee from the Brooklyn Republican and
Improvement Club to secure the new

cil this afternoon at 2 o'clock, and all
members were asked to be present to
urge appropriation for this project.

addressed, the meeting on fire protec
tion. He said that not only 600 fire
hydrants, but many more, could be placed
on the East Side, and still leave room
for more.. Dr. C. H. Raftety made reply
to some of the criticisms that had been
made of the water committee. In this
connection the question of a second pipe
line to . Bull Run was discussed, and it
was the sense of the meeting that no de
lay should be tolerated in setting in mo
tion proceedings,
C. L. Daggett, A. B. Manley, A. G.
Rushlight, Joseph Buchtel and O. W.
Taylor were appointed to consider and
report on fire protection and the second
Bull Run pipe line at the next meeting.

Y. W. C. A. AIDS MRS. GLASS
Will Raise Fund to Send Her Home
to Paris.
A movement has been .naugurated by
the Y. W. C. A. for the purpose of aid
ing Mrs. Mary Glass, who was recently
discharged from St. Vincent's Hospital
after a long illness and who is now in a
destitute condition. Her husband, Minon
Glass, met death by a pistol shot last
November, and his wife was at the time
suspected of having killed him. After
a careful investigation, however, the
case against the woman was dismissed.
Since the shooting, Mrs. 'Glass has been
an inmate of St. Vincent's Hospital, and
was only a week ago discharged from that
institution. An effort has been made by
the Y. W. C. A. to sectire employment
for her, but so far witrftut success. It
is now proposed to 'raise a fund to en
able her to rejoin her family in Paris.
The woman's strength of character, as
revealed by the pathetic story she told
of her married life, so convinced the offl-,
cials of the Y. W. C. A. of her worthiness
to receive aid, .that the movement in
question was decided upon.
All who desire to contribute to the
commendable charity may forward? money
to the Y. W. C. A., care of Miss Constance
McCorkle.

resented on the bill. "On Board the Nancy
Lee" is a nautical burletta and Ramza &
Arno have an eccentrique specialty. "At
