Defeat Sewer Schehe. The action of property owners east of Bast Fifteenth treet in Sell wood with regard to the plana proposed by the City Engineer will likely result in the defeat of all sewerage i'lhcmea in that suburb for some time to come. Opposition to the proposed sewer between East Fifteenth street and the Willamette River is also very strong and it is the opinion of prominent members of the local Board of Trade that it will have to be postponed for the present. There 1a an Impression among a considerable number of property owners in Sellwood that the Board of Trade has been trying to force the construction of a newer sys tem in that suburb, and some bitter things have been said about the members. However, this impression seems entirely erroneous. a the Board of Trade has not the slightest power to bring about any improvement against the wishes of the people. It has simply been Investigating the cost of a sewer system. It Is now settled that there will be a sewer In the enftern portion of Sellwood and the other district will probably be disposed of next Monday night In the same way. North East Side Clubs. The North Rrust Side Improvement Association will meet tonight in Woodmen Hall, on Rus sell street and Rodney avenue. Petitions asking that the question of a high bridge near the foot of Hancock street be sub mitted to a vote will be collected at this meeting, when it will be known about how many signatures have been secured. It is desired that all who have petitions should bring them to this meeting. M. ft. Munly has been making some Investi gations into the probable cost of the proposed bridge and thinks it may cost over $1.50n.ona. Sneak Thieves At Work. Sneak thieves visited the new building In course of construction at 901 East Eighth street. North, yesterday during the middle of the afternoon, and besides pilfering- a few articles of trifling value, stole a valu able gold watch from the vest of A. M.

"I GUESS there's some class to that show, I overheard one of the "kids" who sees them all and speaks out of a large understanding, say as he left the Heillg last night. It was the sh eerest, if not the. most elegant, com mendation that actors and play could pos sibly have received. I.ter. on the car coming down the street, a middle-aged matron said to the one who sat next, her: "I just can't keep that song about 'Ten thousand Cattle Straying out of my head. It will haunt me for a week." Iast night was the eleventh performance this deponent has seen of the Wister-LaShelle drama. 'The Virginian." Twice before has It visited Portland for five performances and I saw at least part of each of them. After sitting through the entire four acts again, there is at least one man in this town prepared to agree with the boy. that there "is some class to that show.' It is a classic of that vanishing domain known as "Cattleland." Civilization has closed in on "Cattleland' until it is but a speck on the map. In some remote in terior country its retainers are making a last stand against the man with the hoe and his barbed wire fences and alfalfa, but the boundaries are narrowed down until but fettle remains of the realm over which a titanic figure in leather armor, astride a steed of his own mettle, rode and ruled and strove mightily that the wilderness might be preps red for t he coming of the sickle and the plow: for homes and cities and commonwealths. They mere rude knights, but in them were the great virtues and the great vices that moved the elder champions of organized society. Owen Wister caught the color of the psssing order and put it into a novel, as did Scott, when he wrote of the feudal chieftains of long ago. Then Kirk LaShelle, peace to his ashes, made it into a drama, and for four or five years it has been a magnet that has never failed to draw the attention of those who love brave men and brave deeds. Those of us who saw Dunstan Far cum a number of times in the role he created wondered what would happen when he dropped out of the part, and were prepared for a sorry disappoint ment when we knew that another had taken his place as the splendid "Virginian." After thinking the matter over, however, I am prepared to say that W. S. Hart, who succeeds him. Is in every respect worthy to follow Farnum. and that the play loses ndth ing by the substitution. While Mr. Hart lacks some of the picturesque ness of Farnum, he makes the princely cowpuncner a man nearer the eternal verities. Farnum was at all times the handsome ideal of what the cowboy i might have been, but Hart is the 'cow boy as he actually was and still Is at his beet. In a few of the situations he does not quite equal his predecessor In dramatic intensity, but the realism of his por trayal more than compensates. Mr. Hart Is a newcomer to the Pacific Coast, but his place has been quite se cure with Eastern audience for a num ber of years. Ten years or more ago he starred throughout the Middle West In "The Man in the Iron Mask," and then gave great promise. Since then, he has supported severs,! of the princi pal stars of the other sex, and now, in "The Virginian," he comes Into his own. He is a rarely-good actor, and his work last night convinced the most critical that his conception and treat ment of his part were true to condi tions. As In past seasons. Interest was di vided between the title role and that of Trampas, most fascinating of gun fighters, as played by Frank Campeau, who has made the character what it I. Campeau is apparently indispensable to the play, and sorry will be the day when he doffs his black sateen shirt and chaps for stellar honors, as he Is certain to do before long. No one can speak understanding of the present day stage who has not seen Campeau play Trampas. The ranks of the original company have been sadly thinned and only a few of the veterans remain. J. E. Furlong and Harry Holliday continue as Judge Henry and Uncle Hewie, Eleanor Wilton again plays Mrs. Hewie and EHth Lammert still plays Mrs. Henry. Frank Vail s "Honey Wiggan" is still a gem and Craig Muir Is as effective as Nebrasky as of yore. O. H. Robinson wears his clericals as the good Bishop ,Talbot as well as formerly, while Charles R. Gilbert is. If possible, a more artistic Spanish Ed than ever. All the others in the long cast, unless I am mistaken, are new. Perhaps some are not quite up to former years, but the performance is equally enjoyable, for the shortcomings are so slight as to be almost imperceptible. In one respect the changes have been for the better. In the instance of Mollie Wood, the little Vermont schoolteacher and a sympathetic heroine even though a trifle negative in personality, Anne Meredith, who plays the part this year. Is better than any of her predecessors who have appeared here. She is beautiful to behold, possesses a musical voice and no small store of acting ability. She makes Mollie just about the sort of girl a "Vir ginian" might fight for. The production has exactly the same equipment as formerly, which means that it is absolutely complete. No matter if you have seen this glorious melodrama before, you owe it to yourself to see it while the opportunity is offered.. It is such plays that give the theater character.
