RIG SHOW PLEASES
Large Crowds Witness Open
ing Day's Performances
of the Circus.
SMALL BOY. IN HIS GLOflY
Tarent Who Goes "to Please the
Children" Also on Hand In Sum-ber-Freaks,
Menagerie and
Big Show All Vp to Mark.
BY NANCY LEE.
Elbowing through a tytlcl circus
crowd, comprising all types and nation,
alltles, we listened In admiration to
the nasal twanged "spellera" urging
the merits of the various side show at
tractions. "Right this way. the big
doore wilt not open until 2:30. Come
see the India rubber man, or human
telescope, feet 2 Inches In height, who
can elevate himself to 8 feet 2 Inches at
a stretch. Come, see SIgnor Slsapaclilo,
the only four-legged boy in the world,
lie Is now dancing on his fourth leg.
Right this way. The big doors will
not open until 2:30." No longer do we
watch our "ten cents, only. one dime,'
but cheerfully place it In the receptive
hand of the niau with taking ways.
Circus day Is and ever has been a
day of glory to the small boy, who has
gazed in ecstasy upon the posters for
weeks before Its coming, and who has
merely bided his time until the all
important arrival of the trains which
bear the myriad wonders of "the
world's greatest tented exhibition." The
coming of Norrla & Rowe is more than
usually important, as a circus event,
for has not that particular enterprise
been a Pacific Coast Institution since
the memory of man has run? Time was
when it was a diminutive dog and pony
affair, without great pretensions. Now
that it has grown Into the proportions
of one of "the world's greatest," Its
arrival at the big lot out Ralelgh-street
way, is one of the year's events. It is
more a harbinger of Summer, and an
. evidence that the balmy days are at
hand.
The weather man who has Industriously
posted his proclamations concerning the
future state" of the weather, might well
say: "Along about this time expect
Norris & Rowe and coincidental there
with fair weather and the smiles of na
ture." This particular circus has come to
Portland as regularly as the processions
of th.e equinox. It came again yesterday
and a crowd was present to give It wel
come. Krom year to year it has advanced
by surprising strides until its boast that
it is one of the "big ones' is no longer
hollow or a figment of the press agent's
imagination.
The tents were duly pitched and all the
preliminary arrangements were com
pleted when the crowd arrived yesterday
afternoon.
Boys of the golden age, when the com
ing of the cir?us seems large with im
portance, the family man and his wife,
who made the ancient excuse of going to
"take the children," and those who have
no children of their own borrowed them
or as a last resort admitted that they
went for the sake of the circus; they were
all there, and enjoyed the well-worn spec
tacle In the wonted way. It was un
usually good, as circusus go, and none
was disappointed. -
While we munched peanuts and drank
dizzy colored lemonade, the handsome
Arabian steeds assisted their fair riders
to what seemed certain death, the tiny
Japanese children evolved themselves Into
human windmills, the quintet of peerless
acrobats twisted themselves Into 14
languages, the band in glittering ac
coutrements played. "I'm Afraid to Go
Home In the Dark" and Mademoiselles
Tutti Fruttl and Pommedetcrre swung
gracefully and - gaily through midair
balancing themselves on the right and
left ears respectively.
The usual quota of clowns brought
smiles to both young and old and shrieks
of laughter from the tiny tots. Inter
spersed were daring aerial stunts, clever
equestrienne turns, trick bicyclists, tum
blers, jugglers, Roman chariot races,
Japanese acrobats and dancing acta to
keep good humored' for a week the
most confirmed dyspeptic. A unique
feature was the Introduction of four
geese, pulling a cart driven by a full
sized man.
Prior to the big show, or going back
to Blbical times, came the beasts of the
field and birds of the air, the menagerie
calling forth much admiration, with a
two score of Shetland ponies and ta. tiny
little watch charm of this same variety of
pony, just seven days old; fierce Bengal
tigers, lions, lionesses, elephants, hyenas,
splendid percherons and Arabaian steeds,
a llama, cameln with all manner of
humps, deer with new Spring horns of
velvet, leopards, a sacred ox and two
cages of sacrilegious monkeys. '
Of the many-billed freaks in the side
shows none attracted more attention than
a dark-skinned creature never known to
display an iota of Intelligence, whose
head recedes into a symmetrical point
and terminates into one square inch of
artistic hirsute adornment. As a sug
gestion for some of the matrimonial
bureaus, why not have the forementioncd
freak, who calls himself "The Original
What Is It?" (which is infinitely more
difficult to answer than the age of Anne)
correspond with "Dirty Dora" who eats
mud? The combination undoubtedly
would be the perfection of connubial
bliss.
Among the new acquisitions none has a
larger following than the old favorite, the
lusty Spaniard who throws stilletos and
sharp, piercing knives, about the bead
and face of the pretty young girl (who,
I am told Is not only courageous but
kindly supporting a large family of her
healthy but tired grandsons).
Both evening and day performances
called forth much praise, every one being
seemingly happy, with the exception of
the laughing hyena who fqr once was
nursing a peevish grouch.
The circus will be repeated this after
noon and tonight.
TOLD TO VOTE FOR TAFT
Allegation That S. V. Kline, of Cor
vallis, Was So Instructed.
CORVAL.I.J9, Or., May 11. (To the Edi
tor.) I wish to rely to statements ap
pearing in The Oregonlan recently, pur
porting to give certain interviews In Wash
ington. D. C, papers with S. L. Kline, of
this city, the gist Of these interviews be
ing that he (Mr. Kline) had been the
means of blocking the voting of Taft
resolutions at a meeting of the Republican
State Central Committee, held in Portland,
and further representing that he (Mr.
Kline) was committeeman from Benton
County at the said meeting. These inter
views being ,used to blo'k the forward
movement to nominate Mr. Taft at the
coming Chicago convention, and further
more to give the Impression that Oregon
to not favorable to Mr. Taft, I desire to
mention a few facts relative to this mat
ter which directly concern me.
I read the news reports referred to with
much surprise, and at the same time with
considerable disappointment. Mr. Kline
being a prominent man politically in
Oregon, and being a business man in this
city, he would naturaly lead the average
man to believe that any confidence or
trust imposed In him- would be sacredly
kept. Since reading this article, which I
take to be a true report of the facts
therein stated, I must say that the confi
dence with which I regarded hlra concern
ing the following matter waa very poorly
placed.
Mr. Kline asserts credit for two things.
First, that he was committeeman from
Benton County at the aforesaid meeting
of the Republican State Central Commit
tee, and, second, that he was Instrumental
In blocking the resolutions referred to, or
rather that no resolutions favorable to
Mr. Ta-f-t were voted at" the said meeting.
The truth is, Mr. Kline was not the com
mitteeman from this county at that meet
ing. He aimply held my proxy as state
committeeman. Not only this, but the
proxy sent him by me contained certain
instructions to "vote for Taft resolutions."
Having been informed that certain resolu
tions were likely to come up at this meet
ing, and being a Taft supporter, I natur
ally desired the passing of such resolu
tions. With this knowledge of the facts and
my personal feeling toward Mr. Taft, 1
took particular trouble to specify in my
proxy to "vote for Taft resolutions."
Knowing as I did that Mr. Kline was
LIMIT ON SALOONS
Brewers Offer to Abandon Cer
tain Districts.
COUNCIL IS ASKED TO ACT
Ordinance Is Recommended Provid
ing That No More Licenses Shall
Be Granted for Residence
Sections of the City.
The liquor-license committee of the
City Council, at !t meeting yesterday
afternoon, voted to recommend to the
Council the adoption of a saloon dis
trict for Portland. The Brewers' Asso
ciation, through Paul Wessinger, pre
sented a communication, accompanied
"i '
MAP SHOWING BOUNDARIES WITHIN WHICH IT IS PROPOSED
TO LIMIT SALOONS.

wherein It is proposed to confine the saloon business in future.
Saloons now existing outside the boundaries shown are not to be dis
turbed by the Council, but no new ones are to be allowed beyond
the prescribed lines.
one of the original Fairbanks men of
Oregon, having promised his support to
Mr. Fairbanks at the last National Re
publican convention, I did not desire him
to vote my proxy for a man whom I
was not supporting, therefore the above
Instructions were sent to block any auch
movement. Not only did I so instruct
Mr. Kline, but two telegrams were sent
to him from me. The first telegram con
tained my proxy and Instructions. Mr.
Kline, on receipt of this message, In
structed the operator at Corvallls to say
that he, Mr. Kline, did not understand
the context of the same. I therewith
sent him another telegram, containing
the same subject-matter, to-wit, the
proxy and Instructions, to enlighten him
on the subject.
It surely Is Impossible that Mr. Kline
Is atill pleading Ignorance as to the con
text of these two telegrams. This to be
yond all reason, because: First, my
proxy to him contained certain Instruc
tions as to voting for certain resolu
tions. Second, he knowing that these
resolutions were coming up, and he try
ing to head them off would enlighten
the ordinary man on the matter.
Such a condition of facts would be suf
ficient to explain away any difficulty in
the wording of the telegrams. I cannot
believe that Mr. Kline would have the
people of Oregon and his constituents
In Benton County draw the inference
that his mentality was so opaque and his
Intelligence so narrow that under the
circumstances connected with this mat
ter he still Is in the dark.

School Superintendent, Benton County.
LOSS SHOWN IN BUILDING
American Contractor Compiles Sta
1 tlstlcs lor Entire Country.
As was pointed out when the total
record of the cost Of new buildings for
April was made up, Portland showed a
decrease when compared with the
month of April. 1907. The compilation
from official sources made by the
American Contractor, of Chicago, of the
cost of buildings for which permits
were Issued in the month In the prin
cipal cities of the country, and showing
comparison with the previous year,
brings out the result that a loss Is In
dicated of 33 per cent In the country.
Portland's loss In cost of buildings
was about the average for the entire
country, but, as will be recalled, the
number of structures was nearly
double. In April,- 1907, a number of
skyscrapers figured in the record,
which put the total to $1,500,000, and
without these, Portland's total this
April reached nearly $1,000,000, or, to
be exact, footed $980,410.
The Contractor, In commenting on
the month's 'building operations, says:
"Several things combine to reduce
building operations at present. The
enormous amount of construction work
done within recent years, which has
largely supplied the demand for build
ings; the unsettled conditions incident
to the recent currency stringency, and
the approach of the Presidential elec
tion. Only 11 cities show a gain, Chi
cago leading with $6,130,850 total. The
greatest loss is In New York, which
amounts to 40 per cent, or over $10,
000,000." Of the Coast cities, Spokane shows a
gain of 37 per cent; L.os Angeles a loss
of 64 per cent; San Francisco a loss of
14 per cent, which was to have been
expected, and Seattle a loss of 4 per
cent. Salt Lake City reports a gain
of 110 per cent and Denver of 171 per
cent.

by maps of both sides of the Willam
ette Rlvey, the main portions of which
are shown in the accompanying Illus
tration. The boundaries outlined show
the principal territory In which th.e
liquor dealers wish to carry on busi
ness. In the communication, which waa
signed by the managers of the various
breweries of Portland, It was stated
that the saloon interests wished to
show to the public good faith in seek
ing to secure by action of the Council
prescribed districts for saloon location,
on both sides of the river. The plan, it
was stated. Is proposed as a means of
shutting off the workings of "paid agi
tators," and to demonstrate to the peo
ple that the saloon interests do not
wish to encroach further Upon resi
dence sections. Saloons now estab
lished, It Is agreed, shall remain, as far
as the Council and the brewery estab
lishments are concerned; but no more
can be opened outside the sections
shown In the accompanying map.
The members of the liquor-license
committee apparently were not taken
by surprise, when Mr. Wessinger pre
sented the communication and maps,
and It took but a few minutes for them
to decide the matter. If any fight
Is to be made, or changes suggested, it
will probably develop tomorrow after
noon, when the Council meets.
Not all of the saloons now In busi
ness are shown In the accompanying
map, but the others are scattered wide
ly throughout the city. In the terri
tory east of the district Outlined, there
are but six saloons, and on the West
Side there are very few, outside the
boundary line. There are but two in
Caruthers Addition, South Portland,
and seven are scattered along the
Macadam road, from Banoroft street to
Fulton. All of these will be subject
to the existing regulations by the Coun
cil and the police, but. If the ordinance
to be Introduced tomorrow is passed, no
new saloons can be established outside
of the boundaries herewith shown.
"We believe the proposition we have
submitted Is fair, and I wish you gen
tlemen to know that we are acting In
good faith." Bald Mr. Wessinger, after
presenting the communication and
maps to the committee. "We want to
show the public that we do not care
to sell liquor In the residence sec
tions, and that we are willing to make
this agreement of our own free Will."

Pastor Says Ministry Is Again At
tracting Young Men. .
At the meeting yesterday of the Pres
byterian Ministerial Association, William
Horatio Phelps, assistant to the pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church, read a
paper on "The Ministry Perpetuating
Itself," In which he presented reasons for
the decline In the number of students
entering the ministry and suggested rem
edies for such condition. By carefully
prepared statistics. Mr. Phelps showed
that the number of men preparing for
the ministry Is now increasing.
The reasons for the decline a few
years ago were, he said, due to the com
mercialism of the age, the large oppor
tunities offered by other professions, the
length of the preparation required, the
Inadequate financial support offered in
the ministry, and particularly the unset
tled condition caused by the higher criti
cism, and' the lack of the church itself to
present the matter fully to young men.
Mr. Phelps said the remedy lay In the
hands of the mothers and fathers and
the pastors, who should present more
fully the call of the ministry.
Dr. Landon. of the San -Anselmo Theo
logical Seminary, addressed the meeting,
telling of the splendid progress- made by
that institution since the disaster of
two years ago.

POLICYHOLDERS MUTUAL RESERVE IN NORTHWEST
WILL ORGANIZE LOCAL COMPANY
Many of the prominent professional and business men in Portland and in all sections of the Pacific Northwest have subscribed to the Capi
tal Stock of the new Company. . ' '
The following are from among the many testimonials that have been received regarding the new Company: -'
Prof. W. I. Staley, proprietor of the Capital Business College at Salem, Or., writes as follows: " 'Western money for Western institu
tions' should be the motto of every man in the Pacific Northwest. This is one of the many reasons -why I have become interested in the new
Company. I see no reason why life insurance companies cannot be conducted just as successfully in the West as they are in the East; and I
believe in patronizing home industry'in the matter of life insurance as well as everything else, when possible to do so. Let us make it possible
and practicable."
Mr. J. H. Niekum, of Nickum & Kelly, of Portland, writes: "It is about time we began to keep this great sum of money at home that we
have been sending 3000 miles east. It does riot apply to principal only, but to interest as well; and would indnee expensive enterprises develop
ing in our midst, that cannot be true when we are not in shape to take care of them in a financial way. I am favorable to the plan of having the
Legal Reserve Policyholders separating themselves from the Assessment Members and insure in a new company of our own in the Pacific North
tvest. I have accordingly subscribed for'ten shares of the Capital Stock of the new Company."
Mr. A. N. Wills, President of the City .Council of Portland, writes: "I am an Oregonian from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.
I rejoice in the growth of Oregon institutions and I am in favor of seeing Oregon Insurance Companies expand and keep our insurance money
at home. There is no good reason why Western business and professional men should not patronize Western insurance companies. They are
safe, strong and solvent, and will give satisfactory results. My motto is: 'Let us keep our money at home.' As I feel satisfied the Company
will be a success I subscribed for ten shares of its Capital Stock."
Mr. A. C. Mowrey, president of the East Side Mill & Lumber Company, of Portland, writes: "There is no doubt whatever but that we can
conduct the life insurance business on the Pacific Coast as well as is done in the East. If we must trust somebody to manage the life insurance
company for us, we have just as honest and capable men in the West as they have in the East. Our mortality is lower, our interest rates are
higher, and our securities are safer, on account of the rapid growth in real estate values. I subscribed for ten shares of the Capital Stock of
the new Company."
Mr. Albert S. Roberts, president of The Dalles Dressed Meat Company, writes: "First, I am a firm believer in life insurance; second, I
am a firm believer in the West, and especially in Oregon and her institutions. Third, there is no reason why we should pay tribute to the East
when we can get the same goods at home without so much risk of high finance and graft, with which the Eastern companies are proven to be
honeycombed. Fourth, a dollar saved is a dollar earned, and a dollar kept in the West is more apt to find its way into my pocket than one sent
to the East; and further, I prefer to build up Oregon and her institutions, and help develop her latent infant enterprises and industries. Fifth,
I believe that stock in a life insurance company is a- good investment, and recommend it to my friends. Believing as I do, I subscribed for
twenty shares of the Capital Stock of the new Company." ,
Mr. F. H. Wiencken. proprietor of the Sunset Creamery, of Portland, writes: "The plan of organizing a new company from among the
Legal Reserve Policyholders of the Mutual Reserve in the Pacific Northwest met my approval, and I have subscribed for ten shares of the Capi
tal Stock. My motto is: 'Keep Western money in the West; Western men should patronize Western institutions.' "
Mr. Chas. F. Wagcner, president of the Pacific Laundry, of Portland, writes: "The plan of the company in scattering its stock all over the
States of Oregon and Washington, among the policyholders, insured upon the Legal Reserve plan in the Mutual Reserve of New York, should be
productive of a much larger volume of business than where the stock is owned by just a few parties. After investigation and being convinced
that the new company will be safe and sound, I have subscribed for eight shares of the Capital Stock."
Mr. Theo. Serin, proprietor of Plumbing Co., of Portland, writes: "Realizing that the time is opportune for the landing of a large Western
life insurance company in the Pacific Northwest, with headquarters in Portland, and after carefully investigating the plans of the new company
and the character and ability of its Stockholders, I have decided to Subscribe for a block of its Capital Stock, because I believe with proper
management this company will in a short time bfc among the 'top notchers' in the insurance world. The strength and co-operation of so many
good business men all over the Pacific Northwest States is bound to tell and give it an advantage over all other life insurance companies in the
Northwest."
There have been received at least twenty more testimonials similar to the above letters from prominent professional and business men in
the Northwest who have already subscribed for Capital Stock in the new company. .
The official sworn reports of the Insurance Department of the States of Oregon and Washington for March, 1907, shows that the Mutual
Reserve Life Insurance Company of New York had nearly 1000 policyholders in these two states whose policies were in force,, and upon which
the annual premium was over $60,000.00, and covering a little over $2,000,000.00 insurance. There was not less than two million insurance that
had lapsed for no other reason but that the policyholders did hot have confidence in the stability of the company. Nearly all of this business
can be gotten together into a new home eompany with a very small expense, and go on and expand indefinitely. .
The assessment business of the old company is not invited into the new company, thereby eliminating any weakness from that source.
More than one-fourth of the Capital Stock has been subscribed already, and is rapidly being taken up by those to whom it is offered, namely,
the policyholders that were insured upon the legal reserve plan in the x
Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Company of New iork.
Investments in the original capital stock of a life insurance com
pany have been known to sell for from 1000 to 5000 per cent above
par after the company has become well established, like the Pruden
tial of N. J., and the Metropolitan of N. Y., both of whose stock now
sells for $5000 per share (par $100).
. Investments in the capital stock of life insurance companies are
among the safest and at the sariie time pay the largest returns of
any of the high-grade securities.
The new company has offices in rooms 604 and 605
Oregonian Building ,
Policyholders of the Mutual Reserve insured upon the legal re
serve plan who wish to subscribe to the capital stock of the new com
pany can fill out the blank below:
I of

Numerous matters of importance, not
only to the Grange but to the people at
large, will come up(for discussion. The
various grange measures to be considered
on election day. notably the university
appropriation bill and the Armory bill
will be discussed at length, and probably

The terms of all officers of the State

CANCEL TAX ON DRUGGISTS
Ordinance Provides for Free Sale of
Medicinal Liquors.
An ordinance granting to druggists the
right to sell liquors for medicinal and
sacramental purposes without paying any
license was recommended to the City
Council yesterday afternoon by the
liquor-license committee, of which Dr!
Cottel, a druggist. Is chairman. Under
this measure a druggist who wishes to
sell liquor by the bottle must pay the
$800 a year license exacted of saloons.
Councilman Vaughn, a member of the
license committee, created a decided
sensation among the druggists present
when he declared to them that, In many
Instances, druggists prescribe for per
sons when knowing that the prescrip
tion is absolutely worthless to the pa
tient. He said that it Is a well-known
fact that often men and women appear
at drugstores and ask for relief, and
that they are given something that does
them no good, and that the druggist at
the time knows full well will do no good.
The statement was resented by the
druggists present, and Dr. Laue. of the
Laue-Davia Company, branded it aa
false, aa did others who were present.
Mr. Vaughn said. In explanation, that
he did not blame the druggists, as, he
said, they merely filled whatever pre
scription was presented, which, of course,
was furnished' by some physician. This
seemed to adjust the matter satisfactorily.

Cuts Loose From Sulking Wife.
OREGON CITY, Or., May U. (Special.)
P. J. Lutz, a well-known Oregon City
resident, was today granted a decree of
divorce from Mrs. Augusta Lutz, , to
whom he was married in 1SS4 in Wiscon
sin. He charges that his wife became
cold and indifferent toward him andi
lost her love and affection for him, treat

did not like the treatment he received
he could leave.
What Terrace Park Lots
at the revised prices
mean
We wish we could drive the importance of this proposition
into the understanding of every man and woman. You particu
larly whose means are limited, represent self -sacrifice, hard, hard
work and who must necessarily put your money to the most ex
cellent use to ver achieve that enviable position where you need
work no more. To you and every one, Terrace Park lots at
this moment are
Like paying $320 for $4QO in Gold
Like receiving $75 to $100 an abso
lute Gift.
Terrace Park is the cleanest cut, prettiest and most promis
ing addition in Portland today. The owners, the M. R. & I., Co.,
order us to sell the remainder of it and give us till June 6 to
do this. Now,
Do you want a lot worth $400 for $320?
Do you want two of them at $312 each and practically your
own time to pay?
Do you want a discount of 25 per cent by starting your home
by the 6th of June? or will you wait and pay out these fat mar
gins later which might be saved now?
The gain is all on your side, the loss the owner's. People
who have investigated, and compared, and bought, tell us that
our claims for Terrace Park are even more conservative than
the facts warrant.
Do you want lo put $75 in your pocket by buying a lot while
the chance is open? If so, or no, dear reader, it's up to you
accept or turn it down.
