AMUSEMENTS
"A Lost Baby" at The Oaks.
ON the occasion of Its former pre
sentation, more than a month ago,
the public liked the merry musical me
lange. "A Lost Baby," so much that
there have been numerous requests for
Its repetition. In response to these
the popular Allen Curtis Company Is
putting- It on again In the Alrdome att
the Oaks, and If the opening? perform
ances are to be taken as a criterion It
has lost no favor with the audiences.
A decided Improvement is noticeable in
the swing; and dash with which the
performance goes. A number of new
songs and specialities have been added
and the result Is a most delightful en
tertainment. .
The plot concern" a laughable mixup
over the Identity of a new mother-in-law,
a new baby grand piano and a
genuine new baby. They all come upon
the scene at the same time and the
complications are saved from being
almost humorous by being so. ridicu
lously funny.
The former song hits "Rebecca," by
Allen Curtis; "Jack and Jill." by
Charles Figg and Wlnnlf red Green and
"Poor Unhappy Maid," by Marguerite
LaPonte still hold their wanted charm,
and among the new ones that arouse
the enthusiasm of the audience are.
"Nothing Ever Hardly Troubles Me,"
"Blooming Lire," and a number of new
dances. The company Is much stronger
than on the occasion of the former
production and the costumes are all
new and fresh. It Is altogether a de
lightful show, one of the kind that
one seeks for the passing away of a
pleasant Summer evening, and what
ever little crudities there are do not
appear of any Importance beside the
general excellence of the performance.
The Oaks management and Allen Cur
tis have displayed good managerial
Judgment in repeating this popular of
fering and it seems destined for a very
prosperous week's run. "A Lost Baby"
will be repeated every night this week.

PROFIT OF COUNTY LOWER
SALARIES AND PURCHASE OF
SUPPLIES CUT TOTAIi.
Comparative Record of Business
Transacted in Office of
Clerk.
Because the receipts at the County
Clerk's office were more than .$300 less
last month than during the same month
In 1907, and because County Clerk Fields
was obliged to purchase more supplies
and to employ two more deputies last
month, than during August last year, the
profit to the county was not as large as
last year. During August the county
derived a revenue of $1194.48 from the
County Clerk's office, while during Au
gust, 1907, the profit was 2177.30.
The total receipts last month were
$4190.80, .as against $4702.10 in 1907. The
county department contributed $1145.25 to
this amount, the Circuit Court: depart
ment $669.30, and the recording depart
ment $2376.25.
Tho most notable falling oft has been
in the Circuit Court department, the re
ceipts in August. WOT. being $1125.65. Per
haps this Is due largely to the fact,
realized by attorneys, that even though
they file a suit in the Circuit Court to
day, it could not. In all probability, reach
trial before next February, because of
the congested condition of the docket.
This condition will be made worse when
the grand Jury begins Its sessions next
Tuesday. ,
Last month the expenses of the County
Clerk's office were $2996.31. while in Au
gust, 1907 they were $2524.80. Last month's
salaries amounted to $2531.66. The salaries
paid in August, 1907, were $2344.90. The
balance of the expense money went for
supplies.
During the same month in 1903 the
receipts were $1414.80. and the expenses
$2369.48, the county being put to an ex
pense of $954.68. '
A comparative list of the business trans
acted by the County Clerk's office during
August. 1908. and August, 1907, follows:

RETURNED HERE FOR TRIAL
J. Williams Faces Charge or Smug
gling Opium.
J. Williams, who is wanted here on a
charge of smuggling opium, was returned
to Portland from Seattle yesterday and
will be given a trial at the Fall term of
the United States Court. Williams was
arrested In this city last April with 245
cans of the contraband drug in his pos
session. Being arraigned, he waived a
preliminary examination and was held
to the Federal grand Jury in cash, bail
fixed at J1500, whi-rh he deposited with
the clerk of the court.
The grand Jury returned a true bill
against Williams, who failed to respond
for trial when his case was called, where
upon the bail was forfeited. A few weeks
ago Williams was arrested for a similar
offense at Seattle and the Federal
authorities in this state requested his re
turn to Portland for trial on the charge
for which he already has been ii dieted
and In which the officials believe there
Is sufficient evidence to Insure a con
viction. In addition to having forfeited
his J15O0 cash ball, Williams now finds

FALL DISPLAY
These two eminent makers of
clothing are widely copied; about
the most flattering tribute that can
be paid one is imitation, but the
spirit of an original is hard to re
produce in any imitation, how
ever good.

and Brokaw Brothers present
to the public becomes the style
that all follow a little later, but
the fastidious dresser prefers to
wear the clothes that set the
pace. It costs no more.
