Fill, on Eabt Stark Street The big fill on East Stark street, between Grand avenue and East Seventh street is pro gressing steadily. It is the most difficult embankment yet undertaken on the East Side, owing to the nature of the ravine which It crosses. The fill is over 450 feet long. Several times it has been up to grade In the center at night, but by morning had settled as much as ten feet. The base of the embankment spreads out at least 150 feet and must extend below the surface of the mud and water be tween 25 and 35 feet. "When completed, this embankment will probably contain more than 100,000 cubic yards of material, the main portion of which comes from the Willamette River. When this em bankment is finished, it. will open East Stark street to a connection with the Base Line road. It is said that the Mount Hood Railroad will enter the city along East Stark street.

Mlna Croliua Gleason Marianne Adair i.Luctle Webster BY ARTHUR A. GREENE. THE Baker Company yesterday after noon tried on a new play by Oliver Morocco and Harry Cottrell, the former well-known as a Los Angeles stock manager, and the latter as a newspaper writer. It was not the premier, for the piece is brought here after a run of seven weeks in the Southern California city. "The Half breed" lacks much of being a great play, but has In it many of the elec ments of a successful one, and the en thusiastic manner in which it was re ceived yesterday pretty well assures its position with Portland audiences. It is unique In .Its locale, for, so far as I am informed, no other playwright has chosen the Indian Territory, recently merged into the State of Oklahoma, as a field. It is melodramatic, but of a higher order of melodrama than the average "out and outer." A number of the characters are skill fully drawn and -with some degree of truth. There are suggestions of "The Squawinan." "The Virginian," while the character from which the play takes its name is much like "Strongheart" gone wrong. It is evi dent that the authors borrowed liber ally, but they made their selections from good sources. The plot concerns the operations of a band of Indian outlaws with a sup posedly white leader who have ter rorized a stockraising community until the whole countryside is thoroughly aroused. The period Is 1S99, during the time the Government commenced allot ting the red brethren their lands In severalty. A certain Delmar Spavinaw, a genteel halfbreed, and Ross Kennion, white, successful in business but un fortunate in love, having been deserted by a faithless wife, are rival leaders in public aftairs and the .eternal "girl proposition" makes them rivals In love also. The object of their conflicting affections is Evelyn Huntington, the amiable and attractive daughter of the Federal Judge. Kennion has a little son. left him by the wife who moved away, and the charming Evelyn is espe cially fond of the lad and tremendous ly in love with the father. It is a mutual affair, but Kennion, unable to secure a divorce, from his recreant spouse, is seriously handicapped. Mean while Spavinaw, the effete aborigine, gets in -his work by persuading the young woman that Kennion is involved with another woman, a flashy lady ol doubtful propriety. Then occurs the most atrocious raid by the outlaws, which Includes mur der, arson and circumstantial evidence, backed up by the word of a drunken Indian, that places Kennion under serious suspicion of being the outlaw leader. He is temporarily unable to clear himself, Spavinaw having plotted well, and it looks decidedly bilious for him. The proletariat desire his gore and a lynching bee Is organized. The heroine, as heroines always do, finds Spavinaw's accusation against the hero to be groundless, and Virtue again triumphs over Vice when it is proved that the "Halfbreed" is the man to blame. Vice then retires to his doom with the mob growling ominously (stage mobs always growl ominously and exactly in unison.) What happens to Virtue I snail leave to the imagina tion. Mr. Alison and Miss Jewel play the leading roles very effectively, better than the authors planned evidently, for they Improve on their work in almost every speech and situation. But that they handle these two parts so well they would certainly not be worth all the row that is made in their behalf. Spavinaw, "The Halfbreed," Is a part of some pith to begin with, and it also is considerably braced up by Robert Homans. Donald Bowles, Edward Larence, Louise Kent, Luclle Webster. Jimmie Gleason, William Wolbert and Earl Dwire distinguish themselves in character roles, while the other parts are without exception well played. Director Dills is to be felicitated on the remarkably fine production he has given the piece. It is one of the most pretentious series of stage pictures seen here during the "season at any theater. T'ie ballroom set is. perhaps, too elaborate for the hill eountry of the Indian Territory, but the play calls for it and Dills delivered it as per de mand. The storm effect off stage In the third act is most realistic. "The Halfbreed" will be given the usual number of performances during the week. A Trip to Coney Island at The Star TT NOTHER week of musical comedy, am vaudeville and burlesque was opened yesterday at the Star by the Armstrong Company, the bill being "A Trip to Coney Island." This snappy musical organiza tion has made many friends during its stay here and is likely to enlarge Its fol lowing through its efforts this week. The show is opened by Wilfred and Lottie, a clever team of novelty equil ibrists, who perform some very creditable stunts. Rachael Acton. Jack Kloville and Walter MacAdams present a skit called "The Nightingale," the scene of which is laid in a London music hall dressing room. A rattling good act is contributed by a hand balancer whose name does not appear on the programme, and his trained dog. Then comes "A Trip to Coney Island," in which the Armstrong brothers. In Irish and "rube" make-ups, assisted by Magdalene Holly, Ethel Davis, the other principals, and the chorus, acquit them selves very well. There are a number of dancing numbers and drills which please, while the song hits are numerous. Among the latter are "Monkeyland," "My Idaho Gal." "Roses Bring Dreams of You," and "Oh. What a Night to Spoon." The show is calculated to please those to whom it caters. Tomorrow afternoon Battling Nelson, the prize-fighter who is to fight Gans at Orcgo The Policyholders Company Is Best for Bill? Colma on July 4, will appear on the pro gramme and will box three rounds with his sparring partner. Wedding and .visiting cards. W. Q. Smith Co., Washington bldg., 4th and Wash. FINE MUSIC AT THE OAKS Unci's Orchestra of White and Gold Makes First Appearance. The first of a series of daily matinee concerts by the newly organized Sym phony Orchestra of white and gold, un der the direction of Herr Waldemar Llnd, occurred yesterday afternoon . at the Oaks. Despite the inclemency of the weather, a large audience was present in the big alrdome to greet Portland's fine new musical organization on the occasion of its first appearance. The verdict was one of universal approval. The consider able representation of musicians in the audience was genuinely enthusiastic in praise of Herr Lind and his associate.. Although the members have had but few rehearsals, their playing of a varied and difficult programme was positively brilliant and reflected especial credit upon Herr Lind's splendid ability as a director. In their beautiful new white and gold uniforms the orchestra presented a hand some and striking appearance. The fol lowing is the programme, which will be repeated every afternoon this week at the Oaks: March. 'Festival" Mendelssohn Overture. "Zampa" Herold Potpourri. "Eln Walzertraum" ; Oscar Strauss (New, first time) Hungarian Rhapsodle No. 2 Liszt Intermission. (a) Reverie. "The Roses' Honeymoon....

Hamil ton, now a candidate for the impor tant office of Railroad Commissioner, as shown by copies of the City Direc tory, was for years that of a bartender. He claims to be a member of the Bar tenders' Union, and a such is asking for the union vote. He is not the type of a man to elevate to such an office.' and all good citizens should n,ote this fact at the polls today. THE PORTLAND MUNICIPAL ASSO CIATION, By Samuel Connell, President.
