"The Merry Grafters"
at the Oaks
WITHOUT DANGER of becoming ef
fusive' it may safely be said that
'The Merrv Grafters." which constitutes
the nresent week's offering of the Allen
Curtis Company at The Oaks, is the
moat attractive bill which that capaoie
organlz&.lon has put on since It openeo
its season several weeks ago..
The show is a hilarious potpourri oi
song and dance numbers, comedy nd
vaudeville stunts. There isn t a thougnt
in tt from beginning to end and an
audience can sit through Its performance
without once being remainded that it Is
warm, that there are worries in the
world and that the gas bills are due. A
better Summer show it would be difficult
to find in a day's Journey.
The cast has been strengthened by the
addition of a new comedian, Dave Cas
ton. who comes here with a well-established
New York reputation. Caston is
very funny and is unique In his methods.
He proves to be a decided addition to
the already large staff of fun-makers
which Manager Curtis has got together.
Perhaps the feature of the show which
the crowds like best is the imitations of
George M. Cohan, presented by Albert
Leonard. In singing "Good-Bye, Dear
Old Manhattan Isle." he received a large
number of recalls and made the biggest
hit of th evening. In the number the
chorus works with more than Its usual
vim and splendidly sustains Mr. Leon
ard. Caston's feature song, "That' Old
Time Rag." also impressed the audience
and crowded close for first honors. Wini
fred Green, the petite soubrette of the
company, added to her already large
host of admirers by her fascinating slng
i.r nt "Vunitv Fair." She is a decided
ly clever little girl. Charles Flgg. al
ways a reliable comedian, sang n-iss,
Jfiaw Ktsa" in his aDDroved manner and
got a number of rounds of applause.
A spectacular novelty called "The Cir
cus" is introduced to conclude the per
formance, which proves very pieaains
and amuaing. Every one of the princi
pals, as well as the chorus, participates.
It is a rattling burlesque of the modern
circus. Introducing all the familiar types,
the effect being enhanced by elaborate
scenic and electrical effects. Commenc
ing Saturday afternoon the free outdoor
attraction at The Oaks will be the Don
Carlos Dog, Monkey and Pony Circus,
which comes here highly recommended.

WILL RENEW FIGHT
Women May Yet Be Excluded
.From Saloons.
NEW LIFE FOR ORDINANCE
Measure That Was Defeated by
Amendments Will Be Presented
by Its Friends as Origin
ally Drafted.
There will be another skirmish In the
City Council in the near future over
the matter of enacting an ordinance
that will keep women out of saloons.
While those opposing the measure,
which was fathered by Councilman
Drlscoll, hoped the first defeat would
end the agitation, it is now certain that
it has not, and that a more determined
effort will be made to pass such a law.
The defeat of the proposed ordinance
in the Council two weeks ago brought
forth such a storm of protests from
the public that some of those who sup
ported the proposed law when the bat
tle was on, are making plans to renew
the attack, and they are predicting
success. That some such ordinance
must be given the police to work upon
seems to be the consensus of opinion.
It is doubtfiil, however, whether the ef
forts to put through such a measure
will be sufficiently strong to attempt
it at the next Council session, sched
uled for Wednesday, August 12.
Those who are Intending to bring the
matter up again in the Council appar
ently believe that the best thlng-to do
Is to place the ordinance, as originally
drafted by" City Attorney Kavanaugh
and his staff, before the members and
to have It passed as it stood when first
Introduced. It was "amended to death."
some of Its friends say, when it was up
for consideration at the last Council
session. The amendments were so dras
tic as literally to make its enforcement
impossible, it is said.
Mr. Kavanaugh'i Judgment is that
the ordinance, as drafted. Is constitu
tional, and that the police can enforce
It, Against his advice and counsel,
however, those opposing the measure
declared the law would be unconstitu
tional, in that, they said, it discrim
inated against women. On that ground
it was fought. Several drastic amend
ments were added, making it so rad
ical that even its chief supporters re
fused to vote for it.
' Since the uproar arose over the de
feat of the measure, however, and since
the recall was threatened, the effort to
put in the original ordinance and to se
cure its passage was begun. The move
ment is now being directed more par
ticularly towards securing enough
votes to Insure the passage of the ordi
nance. If these are pledged. It will
soon be Introduced again.
iL . h oitv. The Chief
mill -bcluuu . -
explained, ss best ho could, that there
are no hydrants at hand to distribute,
and that those recently ordered by the
Council are now being advertised for.
Evidently dissatisfied with the state
ments made by Chief Campbell, the
delegates went upstairs to oonsult
with Mayor Lane. They told him
their troubles, and he summoned Chief
Campbell, when a general discussion
ensued. The Chief was only able to
promise that, with the arrival of the
hydrants, he will locate a due portion
of them in North Alblna. As there
are none on the ground now. he said,
it can well be understood that he Is
powerless. The delegation seemed dis
satisfied, but withdrew, and will make
a report to the organization at Its
next meeting. '
The members of the delegation while
discussing the subjects of hydrants,
asked why there are none here; why
it has taken so long to secure any. The
real cause of the delay was the conten
tion between the. Water Board and the
City Council, each body holding that
the other should make the purchases.
In the meantime, many sections of the
city are going unprotected, although
there was money appropriated to buy
the hydrants.
PATIENTS WELL GARED H
GARDNER INSPECTS COXDI-
TIOXS AT STATE ASYLUM.
NEGOTIATIONS STILL OPEN
COUNTY IS BARGAINING FOR
ROCK QUARRY.
Commissioner Would Like to Secure
Tract on West Side 'of Willam
ette River Near Linnton.
The negotiations for the purchase of
a rock quarry on the west bank of the
Willamette, between Portland and
Claremont Tavern, opposite St. John,
have not yet been closed. The property
which the County Commissioners are
seeking to obtain is owned by several
people, including the P. J. Mann estate,
Swlgert & Campbell and Rev. T. L.
Eliot.
Although the county has expended
$65,000 in road work during the last
six months, $179,0(10 remains to be ex
pended In improvements during the re
maining portion of the year.
Road Supervisor Chapman is plan
ning to macadamize Latourelle Hill
road, which runs from'the mountain to
Latourelle Falls Station. Work on the
Corbett Hill road, which runs into Cor
bett Station, has Just been finished,
and the rock-crusher is now being
moved. It is expected that work on
the Latourelle road will begin within
two weeks.
The Pleasant Home road is to be
graveled. Four carloads of gravel a
day are being shipped from Sycamore
Station to Anderson, on the line of the
O. W. P. electric line. Pleasant Home
is four miles from Anderson.
The rock quarry on the Taylor's
Ferry road, south of Portland, on the
West side of the river. Is now in op
eration, new machinery having recent
ly been Installed. This is in charge of
Road Supervisor Hoffman.
Supervisor Chapman is now employ
ing 15 men and seven teams in grading
the extension to the Cornell road, or

FEAR FOR GIRL'S SAFETY
Officers Searching for 13-Year-Old
Matilda Vanderpool.
A little girl named Matilda Vanderpool,
agerd 13 years, ran away from her home
at Myrtle Creek, Or., on Sunday after
noon. She was seen starting north and
said she was going to Portland. She
succeeded in evading the authorities at
both Rose burg and Oakland, and it Is
feared she has been picked up by hoboes.
This gtrl was committed by the Juvenile
Court of Yamhill County to the Boys'
and Girls' Aid Society last November
and placed in an excellent home at Myr
tle Creek last- May. The Superintendent
received a letter from her written Sun
day in which she said she liked her home
and spoke of having visited Newport this
season. Her description is as .follows:
Brown hair, gray eyes, large crooked
teeth. She wore a blue dress and white
straw hat. Any information leading to
her return will be thankfully received by
Superintendent Gardner of the Boys' and
Girls' Aid Society.
INSIST ON MORE HYDRANTS
North Alblna Citizens Complain of
Unnecessary Delay,
Fire Chief Campbell's office, at .the
City Hall, was the scene of a lively
meeting yesterday morning between
the head of the fire department and a
delegation from the North Albina Push
Club. The delegation made a demand
for fire hydrants for the district repre
sented by them, and also asked for the
establishment of aa enginehousa la
Superintendent of Boys' and Girls'
Aid Society Also Visits Marion
County's Juvenile Court.
Superintendent Gardner, of the Boys'
and Girls' Aid Society Just arrived from
a trip to Marion county where he was
called to make investigation into sev
eral cases reported to the Juvenile
Court, One girl was committed to this
society and brought to the Home. He
found- In the newly-elected County
Judge, W. M. Bushey, one who Is much
interested in children, having taught
school for several years, and predicts
that the Juvenile Court of Marlon
county will do considerable good for
dependent and delinquent children dur
ing Judge Bushey's term of office.
While in Salem Mr. Gardner visited
the Insane Asylum and was very much
surprised and pleased to see the pro
gress made in the ward where the
feeble-minded, idiotic and epileptic
children are confined. Three women
have charge of this ward and they
have all had long experience in caring
for this class of patients. Dr. Stelner,
superintendent of the Oregon Insane
Asylum, a short time ago employed
these women in pface of four men who
previously conducted this work. To
show that even with the idiotic great
good can be accomplished, under the
old regime there were seven to nine
who never left their beds. Now every
boy in the ward gets up and dresses
and sits on benches provided. Every
patient is cleanly and goes to the din
ing room to eat. The change for the
better in this line is marvelous and
plainly shows that it requires exper
ienced people to handle this class of
CVu Stelner informed Mr. Gardner
that it was his Intention to employ
more women in the Asylum and that
before long it was quite possible that
there would be women employed in
every ward in the institution, as the
experiment has been tried In the East
with the greatest success. Experienced
female nurses, it has -been proved can
handle -and care for both sexes of In
sane patients with much better results
than can men. .
Mr. Gardner saw several patients
whom he recognized among them John
nie Everest, the well-known musician,
who is now in an advanced stage of
paresis. The patient recognized Mr.
Gardner, and although the nurses re
port that he eats very heartily, he said
that he had not eaten anything in ten
years. . , . .
Dr Stelner is taking a great Interest
in the detail work of the institution
and we may look for great improve
ments in the near future in the care
of our insane.
GREET OLD FRIENDS HERE
Mr. and Mrs. M. Suillerston Revisit
Portland After Years of Absence.
. .
Mr and Mrs. M. Shlllerston and son, of
Leonardville. Kan., arrived in this city
last Saturday, and will remain in Port
land and vicinity for a few days. Mr.
Shlllerston came to Oregon from Kansas
m In 187R arriving in this city in
i August of that year. Being a Job printer.
he sought employment in inai imc
first found it in the printing office of
George H. Hlmes at what was then 5
Washington street, where he remained
about four years. He was then engaged
by A. Anderson on Alder street, and soon
afterwards formed a co-partnership wlth
him. which lasted until 1886.
Mr. Shlllerston then sold out and went
back to Kansas. After a short stay he
went to his native land Sweden re
maining two years, after which he re
turned to America and permanently lo
cated in the town where he now live
engaging in the brokerage. Insurance and
land business. Mr. Shlllerston made a
very brief visit to Portland seven years
ago.
In looking over the city he Is greatly
surprised at the extent of its growth.
When he first came to Portland First
street was the principal retail district,
and at that time it did not seem probable
that there would be any change for
many yeers. Mr. Shlllerston went to
Castle Rock, Wash., yesterday afternoon,
and today will go to Spirit Lake and
camp with the Mazamas tonight, in order
to visit hiss old friend. Anderson, and also
to be ready to aacend Mount St. Helens.
WEST MAY HAVE CHANCE
Merchants Want to Bid on Panama
Canal Supplies.
Indications are that the Portland
Chamber of Commerce will be success
ful in its efforts to have delivery of
food stuffs for use of the Government
and railroad employes in Panama made
on the Pacific aide of the Isthmus. , Re
cently the Isthmian Canal Commission
advertised for bids for food stuffs for
use In Panama to be delivered at New
Orleans. This, of course, prevented
any of the Pacific Coast dealers from
bidding. Several Portland firms are In
position to furnish food stuffs at the
lowest possible rates, but could not
compete on account of deliveries being
ordered at New Orleans.
The Portland Chamber of Commerce
took the Initiative in the matter, re
questing that hereafter deliveries be
made at La Boca. To that end it se
cured the support of Senators FuHon
and Bourne and Representatives Haw
ley and Ellis, also that of the Senators
and Representatives from the state of
Washington.
