K. FT. Ubhy, one of the memhera of
thf Irf-wiston-Clarkson committee that
visited Portland in the Interest, of the
excursion that is to leavo this city May
I to celebrate the completion of the
"Rlparla cut-off." In giving reasons why
the business men of Portland ahould be
come In teres tod in this all-rail line to
the henrt of the Inland Bmplro, said:
"Lcwlstnn Is at the traffic; center of
great forests, great deposits of coal. Iron,
limestone and granite, rich bodies of
gold, silver, copper and lead. Thor also
are valuablo products of the. livestock in
dustry. There is a population in Jew1s
ton and Clarkston of some 1J,000 people.
Increasing 20 per cent a year, and in the
terrlt ory p robn hi y 1 ftO.Ono.
"This new railroad from the commer
cial depot of all that wealth to the near
est seaport at Portland, will permit of
full-loaded trains of 40 to firt cars reach
ing the seaport In a dlatane of ,160 miles
wlthtn 24 hours, as ajtatnst the present
necessity of drawing ten-car trattis by
two locomotives over mountnin grades
to a seaport W0 miles distant In 40 to SO
houra time. Ft will enable business men
to go hack and forth in a night, wasting
no working hour, aa against an entire
day miw required for the journey. These
facilities should dounlo Portland's trade
In that territory within a year, and in
crease It tenfold within flv years.
Again, these two new rail lines, for
presently both the Northern Pacific and
the O. R. A N. will uao the Jointly-owned
lino of new road from Rlparla to I,ewts-ton-Clarkston
these new railroads will so
quicken and cheapen transportation by
rail nnd water that our resources of raw
material will call to Portland brain and
capital so alluringly that manufactories
of wool, paper, furniture and other wares
of wood, flour and various breadstuff s.
and canneries,, packing houses and In
dustries will add to the wealth of both
communities and each year bind closer
the ties of commerce and friendship be
tween the people, of Iewlston-Clnrkston,
the workshop, and Portland, the market."

JM OST of us keop cosy corners In our
I " hearts for "Florodora." The book
by the lamented Owen Hall, and the
dainty, seductive music by lsllo
Stewart, have charmed us for nearly
a decade. "Florodora" has the dis
tinction of being- the most successful
musical comedy ever written. Tt fan
something- Ilk three years in Tondort
and has heen presented time and again
In every city of Importance In the
world. The immortal sextet, with Its
eternal query about the members of
the family that remain at home, and,
the eternal assurance that a few re
main, has ,1lna;lod up and down the
world from Calcutta to North Yakima.
How many sentimental young; men
have mawkishly hollowed the pathetic
strains of "Tn the Shade of th Shel
tering? Palm." In the love-sick Mod
moonlight where they hoped their nn
won heart's desire might hear will
never be known, but their number is
larger than the legions of Cyrus.

A Hoosier Daisy," at
the Star
THK Fronch Stock company seems bfnt
on rosrrving: the best performances
for the last of tho present eng-ngnment.
Tho company leaves after two weeks
more for a tay of several weeks at
Tacoma, and the company will evidently
wtnd up tho season In a manner that will
causa the Star's friends In Portland to
awnlt Impatiently for the return engage
ment. Yesterday the company opened the
week's bill of "A Hoosier Daisy" and
grn've one of the cleanest and most evenly
balanced plays presented since the en
gagement began.
Tho story of a poorhouso waif whose
father had been forced f flee from home
under falso accusation of having com
mitted murder. Is swindled out of her
possessions by a skinflint hypocrite, and
when her father returns, disguised as a
tramp, he has some difficulty In straight
ening out the tangle In which he finds his
affairs and in discovering the Identity
of his daughter.
The play Is full of good, wholesome
lessons In morality which are worked out
In an old-fashioned, homely manner, and
tho character work of the company Is by
far superior to the hlood-and-thunrter
stuff they have been frequently called
upon to produce.
Charles Connors. Kathleen Taylor, Mrs.
French, Frank Seaward, Leah La Force
and Charles Burnison aro all called upon
to portray the village characters of an
Indiana town, and D. M. Henderson, the
old hard-fisted hypocrite. They separately
deserve commendation. Miss Davis again
gave a careful and satisfactory "leading"
part.
Next week, for the final appearance of
the company, for a time, "How Baxter
Butted Tn" is to be the bill. This Is
one of Owen Davis' most pronounced suc
cesses. ERIE DEAL jSJHE CENTER
Financial Review of Week Rail
road Earnings on .Decline.
NEW YORK, April 12. Developments
last week were in favor of values of se
curities, and prices responded, but In a
sluggish and Irregular fashion. Great
Interest centered in the Erie financial
settlement and. while opinion was gen
eral that the settlement would be ef
fected, the manner of Its accomplishment
came as a surprise and afforded abun
dant food for wide conjecture over the
motives and plans underlying the action
following. E. H. Harrlman's advance of
funds to the Erie was most interesting,
tn the light of his -far-reaching interests
in the railroad systems of the whole
country and the possible bearing of the
Krie transactions on the relation of those
interests Is canvassed with keen interest.
The fact of the recent completion of a
Harriman link to the Atlantic seaboard
In the South through the Illinois Cen
tral and the Central of Georgia, points
the argument that control of the Erie is
Intended for another such link to the
Northern seaboard.
The publication of the April 1 condi
tion of Winter wheat and rye crops by
the Department of Agriculture was of
marked reassuring effect, owing to the
high percentage of condition reported for
the Winter wheat crop and the large crop
Indicated on the basis of that report. The
years' crop yields are looked upon as a
vital element in the improvement from
the depression into which business has
been thrown, and the course of the
growth and harvest will be followed
closely by the speculative markets
throughout its period.
No marked Influence was' perceptible in
the securities market from the side of
business and traffic advices. Reports of
railroad officials were moderately hope
ful in tone, but they had little actual in
crease of traffic to report and returns
of earnings still show heavy reductions
from the corresponding periods of a year
ago. as well as of several years preced
ing. A eablett-ay being built In Turkestan i

LOt'ISE KENT has a rare oppor
tunity to demonstrate her superi
ority as nn actress of emotional
roles this week In "The Eternal City."
Tho part of itoma Is by far tho
most important and trying one of
the play, m to Miss Kent's everlast
ing credit he It said that she has given
us a most probable and sympathetic In
terpretation. Hhc took the part on short
notice, owing to the departure of Miss
Htoddard for the Kast, and after such a
hrlof preparation, her work seems re
markably finished. Hhe deserves com
mendation also on her dressing of tho
part, tho real lace gown which she wears
In the second scene of thn first art being
the nandsomest. thing In the sartorial line
seen on the Bnker stagn this year.
Homethlng Is slightly amiss with
fleorge Alison's performance of David
ftossl. he agitator. True, It hna a cer
tain distinction which Mr, Alison brings
to ail his work, hut somehow it Is arti
ficial. The actor does not begin to sound
the depths of Rossi. The patriot ho seems
to irs. according to Mr. Alison's Inter
pretation. Is a superficial sort of reformer,
a psrlor socialist, as It were. It Is too
much .to demnnd that a leading man be
at his best all the time, but Mr. Alison
Is ordinarily so sincere and genuine that
his David Rossi fails to measure up to his
standard.
A very well-played part Is that of Bon
elll. the dictator. In the hands of Robert
Homans. Tho latter has conceived the
character well and apparently fnr him
self, for he does not copy Frederick Do
Belville. Whom everybody should remem
ber In the part, except In mnkc-np. Don
ald Bowles gives on artistic performance
as Rocco, Mlna Crollus Gleason Is delight
ful ss the wlcked-tongued old Princess,
Lucille Webster gives a satisfactory ren
dition of Elena, Roeco'g wife, and Karl
Dwlre gives a good account of himself
In double roles. William Oleason plnys
the Pope with, fine dignity, and Howard
Russell Is sufficiently sinister as tho
secret service agent. The production Is
firsts-class.

RETl'RNED .MISSIONARY SEES A
GREAT FUTURE.
Believer Awakonlnff of Bcnlchtcd
Nation Will Have Far-Reaching
Influence.
Within a few years China will rule the
world, bellrves Miss Kate OgTmrri. aj
returned missionary who has been labor
ing at Nan Chang, under the auspices of
the Women's Foreign Missionary So
ciety, and who spoke yesterday morning
at the Grace Methodist Church, rthe
spoke, of the all but fruitless missionary
efforts of Robert Morrison, who had
three converts after he had labored 20
year. Before the Boxer uprising there
were about 50, wo Chinese Christiana,
but 10.000 of these were slain for their
faith at that time. That was 90 years
after Mr. Morrison's death. During- the
last ten yean the' 40.000 native Christians,
she aid, have .grown to 175,000, these
latter statistic having been taken at the
missionary conference of all denomina
tions, which was held in Shanghai last
year. At that time, said Miss Ogborn,
several viceroys, delegated from tho
government, spoke at the gathering,
bringing the message that what China
needs more than all else la the Bible,
and ChrLstianlty. Miss Ogborn continued:
In recent months foreign missionary work
ha com to be, not almply a part of tho
church, but th iroal of the church. It has
ben our belief that th object of missionary
work Is to gather souls into the kingdom of
God. but I thtnk this view is too narrow.
I don't thtnk I want to ever again use th
expression "soul saving." I mean this, that
Christ cams Into the world to av u from

at the point of the sword delayed; ths pro

The war between Japan and China, and the
boxer uprising, nava done much to awaken
the grca t nat Ion . It was the young Em
peror, who, though a boy, proposed radical
changes In the empire.
I waa in Central China during tha boxer
uprising, but together with another high
official, .Tohn IMtto refused to obey tha edict
of the ro-wager Bmpresa that all foreigners
be exterminated, for he saw that It would
bring about the disruption of the empire.
Perhaps he did not tee that it would mean
the greatest upheaval among the nation that
the world has ever witnessed.
It 1 now arafnst the law to bind the feet
of women' or girls In China. Thn opium dens
in the old part of the city of Shanghai have
been closed. But I am ashamed to ay that
when the request was made of the fore ten
portion of the etty, tn which there are lftOO
d'Tre. to assist the officials hy closing theiw?
