Simmons, mem ber of this committee, who recently made an examination of the ' building, reports that he does not consider the rooms safe, that plastering is falling from the walls and that at any time a large quantity of the plaster may come down on the children, maiming or injuring them. "I feel very grateful when my child comes home safe every night, that no accident has happened during the day at this building." said Mr. Simmons. Mr. Sim mons thinks that provisions ought to be made as soon as possible to abandon this building, and that to wait until the ground can be sold for $75,000, the price tixed by the Board of Education, Is to postpone erection of a building for an indefinite time.

Samuel, -General Manager, -Oregon Life Insurance Company, Portland, Oregon. , Dear Sir: Under date of April 16th, Mr. Paui.L. Woolston, Con sulting Actuary, was engaged by me to make an 'official examination of the books, papers, affairs and property of the Oregon Life. Insurance Company, in order to determine the financial condition and ability, of the company to fulfil its engagements and to ascertain whether it has complied with all the requirements of the laws of Oregon relating to the transaction of life insurance business, and under date of April 23, 1908,. he transmitted to me his report covering his investigations j a copy of which is inclosed for your information. : From an examination of the report submitted, set ting forth in detail the examination made by Mr. Woolston, the company appears to have complied with all the -statutes of the State regulating the business of li'fe insurance ; that its capital stock is unimpaired ; that its loans are amply secured by real estate of more than the value provided by statute; that the required legal-reserve for all its policies has been provided for : that its policy forms are equitable and liberal and that the. right's of its policy holders have been equitably preserved. Very respectfully, The examination of Oregon Life and the report above referrecf to covers every transaction and the valuation of every policy from the organization of the company. The, report, now a public doeument, is open for inspection at the State Department at Salem. The copy transmitted by Secretary Benson is on file at the office of Oregon Life, Corbett Building, Portland, Oregon. The public Is respectfully invited to examine it. We feel proud of it.

WHEN Clyde Fitch has been dead 60 years, students of dramatic lit erature will probably have forgotten the purport and text of all his numerous contributions save one. "The Climbers" will then survive because it has been the fittest. . Fitch is the most industrious writer for the stage of our time. Much of his work has been mediocre, some of it beneath contempt, but "The Climbers" is a vital document that reflects certain phases of our complex -civilization so sin cerely that it forces recognition and fixes Its permanence as a drama.. The play is now generally familiar everywhere in this country. It has been seen here on several occasions, most re cently at the Baker yesterday afternoon and night. It is a large order for a com pany of stock players, the most difficult the Baker Company has undertaken to fill this,'season. and tauthe everlasting credit of all concerned it can be truthfully said to be one of the most acceptably performed. It requires some technical knowledge of the stage to appreciate the difficulty of the Job both from the side of those concerned with the pro duction alone, and the actors. Appre ciating every one of tha difficulties a spectator would agree that it is nothing short of an achievement. Izetta Jewel could have asked nothing better in the shape of occasions for her return to Portland than the auspicious one of yesterday. Given a part which she plays excellently well, even remem bering Amelia Bingham, an audience which elbowed for standing-room, a suf ficient quantity of flowers passed over the footlights to stock a florists shop, and a Veritable salvo of applause on her first entrance, the vivacious young lead ing woman had no righj. to be anything else than happy. ' 'v. I'm inclined to the opinion that al though not so conspicuous as some, .George Alison's performance of Stirling is the most artistic thing he has done during bis present engagement. It may be charged against him that in that typically Fltchian situation, when the stage becomes a black confessional and he tells of his sins, the story Is a bit too glib. There should have been more hesitation, more uncertainty in his read ing of the lines. Barring this, however, he was always In the picture, always probable. . That decidedly difficult role of Warden was admirably handled by Donald Bowles, James Gleason played Mason exception ally, 'Howard Russell illuminated Trotter without making him quite too broadly impossible. The Miss Godesby of the author's ideal was one of the big factors in the piece. She is one of the repi :: sentative types and no part for a com- STATE'OF'OREGON OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY. OFSTATEJ.

At all events it is just a little the finest dis-' play sartorial that has been pulled oft in a theatrical way here In a blue moon. This applies, particularly to the things worn by Mfss Jewel and Miss Kent, thqugh all of them came within the list of awards. You may go to "The Climb ers'" with confidence. "THE BATHING GIRLS" AT THE STAR THE second week of the Armstrong Company's Summer engagement at the Star opened yesterday afternoon, the offering being a combinatiort of vaude ville and' musical skit which proved high ly to the liking of the large audience which saw it. Thevaudeville turns were the "Mysterlpus .Musical Benefits," some thing of a novelty In that it is a black art musical number, and the "Musical Bellboys," a singing and dancing act. The musical comedy is "The Bathing Girls." In which are the entire Armstrong Company, including a sprightly chorus. The scene of-the comedy is' naturally at a seashore placet and the principal fun makers are the Armstrong brothers. One appears as a fresh bellboy and the other as a humorous Irish porer. Barney Wil liams get a good many laughs as the German landlord, Magdaline Holly plays Sarah Heartburn, an actress, and Ethel Davis is seen as the soubrette. Among the song-numbers were: "They Say He Went to College," "So Long, Mary," "The Bathing Girls" and "Let Me Go Back." The same bill will be continued through the week, with the difference that new vaudeville acts will be put on tomorrow afternoon. " Grease paints and professionals' supplies at Woodard. Clarke Co.
