buildings and ground and $377,000 for
operating expenses. Mount Tabor,
North Alhina and Third and Glisan

for new station-houses: a new brick
house for Williams avenue and Russell
street and 750 feet of hse each for
Richmond. Woodiamn and Portsmouth Is
recommended, as well as a new engine
for both the Fulton and Scllwood com
panies. No funds are available for engine-houses
at Fourteenth and Mont
gomery: in the vicinity of the hospitals,
or at F.ot Twenty-second and Thomp
son streets, where the city owns tne
necessary ground.
Delesutions were present from Mount
Tabor and Montavilla. all uniting in
petition for at least one engine com
pany, and a committee from North Al
blna. reinforced by Councilman Vaughn,
a member of the ways and moans roirr-
mlttee. also appeared. That It pays to
have representation at meetings where
appropriations are made. Is borne out
by the fact that both Mount Tabor and
North Alhina got what was asked, as
did also the vicinity in which is located
engine No. 8. represented by Councilman
Menefee. while the districts unrepre
sented got little or nothing.
Protect Wholesale District.
t hler l ampbeil Insisted upon an ap
propriation for an engine-house at Third
and Cllsan. saying that It Is absolutely
rteressary to protect the great wholesale
districts. The committee therefore ap
propriated J;5.000 for that project.
Mount Tabor and North Albina each get
IJ.00 and engine No. 8. for Its new
house, gets JfM.noo. This Is the hulk of
the extra funds, and. although there is a
prying need for fire protection near the
two largest hospitals, and although the
necessary ground has been bought for
the purpose, the committee made no ap
propriation for house or equipment.
Councilman Rushlight, chairman of the
committee, was out of sympathy with
the other members, and believes that a
mistake has been made in the apportion
ments for new stations. He declared that
the committee should hve allowed
money to purchase property and to build
houses at Mount Tabor and North Al
bina. but that no funds should have been
allowed this year for apparatus or men.
for he declared the houses will not b3
ready for occupancy earlier than next
January, and the money should have
been used to build a house near the
hospitals and to equip it.
Form Volunteer Companies.
Volunteer companies will be organized
t Richmond. Woodlawn and Ports
mouth, and will use the 750 feet of hose
the committee recommended for each
place. Chief Campbell will furnish a
reel for each company, and in this man
ner the property, in these places will
have at least some protection.

pain In his shoulder awakened him
About 1 o'clock he called out in pain
Mrs. Neale arose as quickly as possi
ble, only to find her huoband had died
the cause of death being; neuralgia of
the heart.
Mr. Neale was 71 years of age. and
was Dorn In Kentucky. W hen a boy
he entered the Regular Army and
served for many years before the
breaking out of the Rebellion, visiting
almost every locality of the Pacific
Coast. In the war he served first as a
member of Company D. Kentucky
Cavalry, and afterwards was First Ser
geant in the First United States Cav
alry. Mr. Neale was in nearly all the
great battles of the Civil War, and at
Gettysburg received several severe
wounds. In the Battle of Five Forks
his snoulder was- fearfully shattered
by a musket ball and for months his
life was despaired of. He pulled
through, but was never afterwards able
to raise his. arm, altnough his right
arm remained sound and he continued
In the Service. He was married In
California in 1S65 and came to Port
land in 1SG9. being stationed for a
short time at Vancouver.
Few soldiers have had as long and
eventful life as he. He had a remark
able record and ' waa trusted with great
responsibility by his superior officers
many times. His comrades say of
Felix Neale that he was a true soldier
of the type that made the Union Army
Invincible, never questioning an order
or evading a duty. In the G. A. R..
Department of uregon, he will be
missed. He was a member of Baker
Post, the first post organized on the
Pacific Coast- Afterwards he Joined
George Wright Post as a charter mem
ber, and then Sumner Post, of which
he was a member at his death, being;
past commander. He waa a member of

Portland's largest theater party anr the
most enthusiastic In the city's history
was given last nigljt by The Morning
Oregonlan for the Initial production of
Ben Hur" at the Heilig Theater. Three
hundred seats were occupied by boys and
girls of the public schools, and they
got the full measure of enjoyment out
of the presentation, for they were guests
through the capabilities of their pens.
To them it was an appreciable cx
perience; a vivid and wonderfully drawn
picture- put before them of times and
deeds and people of whom they had writ
ten In The Oregonian's big competition of
historical essays by public school pupils.
"hese X) young guests at the big the
ater party occupied seats on the lower
floor the best seats in the theater, they
had. And a most orderly and sym
pathetic and appreciative audience they
made. Dress suits and fine silks and
laces were as inconspicuous as were an
noying whisperings and inattention to
the play. This first-night audience was
on handi merely to see tiie play; to profit
toy the elaborate stage expression of the
most vital period in the history of the
world. v
As special guests there were present
members of the Board of Hducation, of
ficials of the schools and the 48 edu
cators who passed upon the more meri
torious competitions entered In the con
test of essays. The theater party oc
cupied, with parents and cliaperones,
practically the whole floor. It enjoyed
every minute of the production, from the
mystic prelude, in which tho Three v ise
Men saw the Star of Bethlehem, to the
last act. when the power of the Master
remoyedi from the household of Hur the
last awful taint of a barbarous tyranny.
Tickets to the winners In the essay
series were given out by The Oregonlan
Just after school hours and the winning
competitors, doubly happy In the pros
poets of a splendid recreation which they
had won In a historical contest, were on
hand promptly. They displayed great
promptness in rotting seated at the the
ater and there were few belated arrivals
to interrupt the first act. To these young
people It was an event. Not merely be

Bourne's Nominee for Postmaster Is
Declared Unfit for Office.
At the meeting yesterday of the Bap

that body declared their opposition to
the appointment of John C. Toung. Sen
ator Bourne's candidate for Postmaster
of Portland, on the ground that his po
litical record renders him unfit to. hold
that office. His activity among" the
Mormons of Eastern Oregon In behalf of
Henator Bourne was also considered an
element in his disfavor.
After a general discussion regarding
Mr. Toung s character and career, a res
olution offered by Rev. E. A. Smith, of
Arleta, was passed appointing a com
mittee to investigate Mr. Young's char
acter. Rev. Mr. Smith said he bad ex-

J. w. OgrUbee, adjutant of Sumner
Post, said yesterday of Mr. Neale,
"Comrade Felix Neale's death will be
a great loss to the Department of
Oregon. G. A R-. and will leave a va
cant space In Sumner Post which can
not be filled. He was a typical soldier
and a man of sound principles devoted
to duty. Although the highest office
he held in the Army during the long
term he served was only that of First
Sergeant, yet he left a remarkable
record of which we. his comrades, feel
proud. In danger he never faltered
and, although often placed In responsi
ble places, never shrank from the full
performance of every duty in the face of
death and .lancer.
that Mr. Toung was not the proper per
son for Postmaster. Said Mr. Smith:
"I have been watching this affair about
Toung with interest, and I find that he
has only recently moved to Portland, and
the people in general don't take kindly
to his appointment. For myself. I don't
care whether lie is a Bourne or a Fulton
man. In fact. I haven't any use tor either
of these politicians, and don't believe In
taking part In the Republican scrap. It
seems that this Toung is a trimmer, or
nan who has been sucking tlie political
cow, and I am averse to such a person."

Resolution Passed by Attendant
Residents Approving Purchase
of Proerty for Park.
At a well-attended meeting of the
citizens of the suburb of Sellwood
last night, under the auspices of the
Sellwood Board of Trade, A. N. Wills,
presiding, the purchase of the tract for
park purposes was discussed. It was
reported that the Mayor had withheld
his signature to the ordinance because
of misrepresentation as to the location
and the value of the 12 and a fraction
acres. There was an extended discus
sion of the park situation by W. Adams,
chairman of the local park committee.
Councilman Wills, J. C. Adams and Mr.
Baker all denouncing; In strong terms
what they declared to be the misrepre
sentations that have aaused the Mayor
to hold up his signature to the ordi
nance.
The purchase price is $4000 an acre,
and Councilman Wills said that the
price was fair and reasonable and that
every acre of the land Is well located
for park purposes, about 40 per cent
only being covered with trees. Lots
n the locality were reported to be sell-
ng from 650'to $1000.
It was the unanimous opinion of the
meeting that the tract was entirely
satisfactory to the people of Sellwood
for a park and It was declared to be
the sentiment of the meeting that the
statements published In an evening pa
per that the tract was worthless as a
park, that there was a $10,000 graft
in the purchase, and that the jprice was
too high, were false. The following
resolution was adopted, and will be
presented to Mayor Lane:
Resolved. That It is the unanimous senti
ment of the Sellwood Board of Trade that
It favors the purchase of the said tract,
as provided by ordinance recently adopted
by the City Council on the recommendation
oi the Park Commission, and we do hereby
urge his honor, the Mayor, to sign the
ordinance.
Sinned. J. C. Adams, J. T. Kertchem,
J. W. Coldwell.
The Mayor has until today to sign
the ordinance making the appropria
tion for purchasing the tract- A few
days ago Dr. J. R- Wilson, a member
of the Park Board, City Engineer Tay
lor and some others, went over the
tract, finding It located on solid ground
and not in the slough as reported . Dr.
Wilson also made Inquiry as to the
value of the land in the vicinity of the
tract.

Convicted Murderer Gives That as

asked if he had anything to say why sen

upon him. C. T. Timmons. wife murderer,
handed Judge Burnett a letter from Hen
shaw & Zeigler, of Portland, stating that
"Timmons had been prompt In his deal
ings with the firm and No. 1 pay." Tim
mons planned to r.iake a long statement,
but his nerve evidently failed him at the
last moment. As lie was leaving court he
threatened to kill himself by butting his
head against a stone wall before the
date set for his execution, February 'Ji.
News that will tie of utmost welcome
to thousands of people of Portland, not
only those who grow roses In a small
way, but all who take pride In herald
ing Portland as the great "rose city" of
America, comes from Frederick V. Hoi
man. one of the foremost rosarians of the
Northwest, and the father of the "Rose
City" Idea. He declares that the recent
rigorous weather has not Injured In the
slightest the tenderest of plants.
Much concern had been felt by the
members of the Portland! Rose Society
and the Rose Festival, as to whether
the tens of thousands of bushes which
have been set out since the Rose Festival
Idea took hold would survive such
wintry blast as Portland has passed
through for the first time in more than
M years.
Somewhat dubious about It himself, Mr.
Holman, who has in his own rosa gar-
t"" a greater variety of the'"nnt?en of
flowers than any other man perhaps In
the West, set about to investigate. He
looked over the hardier varieties and
found them sturdy and strong, as if
nothing had happened. Next he inspected
the more dejlcate classes and found, con
siderably to his own astonishment, that
the shock of the storm and the bite of
frost had left them all unscathed.
As Indicative of the extremely fa
vorable conditions under which roses may
be developed, Mr. Holman said that he
had set out 100 bushes within the last
month or so and that he had planted
ten of what might be classed as the
more delicate varieties on Christmas day
and they had not suffered!.
'The sap has not begun to run and
this fact has served to save the roses
from the blight of extreme cold," said
Mr. Holman, last night. "Take -tlie
Cochet. which ordinarily would be killed
t a temperature of 20 degrees above
zero. I find that they have stood the or
deal very well. Of course, some of the
shoots have been smitten by the cold;
but a new growth will set in, and so
far as I have been able to observe, there
to every indication that no material
damage has been done to rose bushes
which have been properly cared for. I
believe that we shall see the greatest
burst of blooms next June that Portland
has ever known. There Is no reason why
we should not, as gauged by what I have
learned from looking over my own gar
den.
Mr. Holman has more than 500 varieties
of the choicest classes of roses and lias
done little or nothing to protect them
from the colJ weather further than to
spread manure around. them to give them
proper sustenance.
The experience which Mr. Holman has
had will no doubt be duplicated oy every
citizen who has set out roses in the
last few years. It will be remembered
that during the easly weeks of the Lewis
and Clark Exposition a sort of a census
was taken of the roses in bloom In Port- i
land at that time and it was stated that
fully 18,000,000 blooms gracedi the gardens
of this city then. Since that time more
roses have been planted each year tnan
In any five years before, so that if this
estimate Is any basis of comparison
there should be at least 100,000.000 rose
blooms In full flower during the next
Rose Festival.
T IS a vast Journey of the lmaglna-
I tlon back through the centuries to
the days when tyranny had its supreme
hours; to the time when life, justice
and the rights of individuals were most
uncertain quantities. But, withal, it is
a most profitable one, for it affords an
unequaled opportunity for contrast
with the present, such as quickens the
mind to appreciation of the boons of
20th century existence.
And in the portrayal of the life and
environment of the ancient Jewish
Prince. Ben Hur, as presented at the
Heilig Theater last night by the Klaw
& Erlanger players, little Is left to
the imagination. The picture Is given
with, every accessory of modern stage
craft to afford a keen and sympathetic
understanding of the conditions out of
which the Christian era took root and
blossomed. The production, as It Is
presented, sums up a whole library of
history; but while :t is essentially In
structive, yet the compelling story of
Ben Hur keeps awake the most slug
gish Interest. No one can see "Ben
Hur," even though he may have seen
It many times before, without again
discrediting the carping critics of the
present day, and again feeling what
infinite good befell the world with the
coming of the Master, Christ.
Some ten years ago the dramatiza
tion of General Wallace's masterpiece
started, and Portland has had the good
fortune to see it before, although not
In several years. But the story does
not get old. And in the present pro
duction the same stupendous achieve
ment In stage mechanism is noted as
heretofore, and with a veracity as to
Bettings and costuming as must needs
amaze the most profound student of
those ancient times.
There has been no cutting down In
the army of people required to carry
the production, while the staging has
undergone marked Improvement and
elaboration. The principals are gener
ally satisfactory and they carry the
great story through with a fine appre
ciation and sympathetic understanding
of those people of a shadowy past.
Conway Tcarle, as Ben Hur, Is, per
haps, lacking In physique, but his por
trayal of the long-suffering Prince of
old Jerusalem Is convincing and quick
ly wins the full approval and sympathy
of his audience. Charles M. Harris, as
Messala, is well cast as the ambitious.
treacherous and barbarously cruel
young soldier of Rome. Anthony An
dre as Simonldes, Miss Loyola O'Con
nor as the mother of Hur, Miss Alice
Haynes as Esther, daughter of Simon
ldes, and Arrlus, the Tribune, are fully
capable to sustain parts of which
the requirements are many. The oth
ers are satisfactory.
There was a capacity house and the
S. R. O. sign went out early for the ini
tial performance. "Ben Hur will be
at the Heilig all this week, with mati
nees Wednesday and Saturday. No one
can wen afford to pass it by.

Dr. George Soltau, London evangelist,
told the Evangelical United Brethren
Ministerial Association yesterday morn
ing at Its meeting that the reason the
church of the present century has failed
to reach the people Is because of its
abandonment of primitive religion and the
substitution of modern methods. He de
clared that the pulpit represents mainly
Christian Socialism, and not the re
ligion of Jesus.
"The old-fashioned methods." he said
"the old-styled hymns and simple gos
pel have given way to the modern meth
ods that are more popular, and cheap
music has given place to the old hymns
that were so full of spiritual meaning.
Lack of belief in the supernatural,
change of views of the Bible, new views,
modem methods and t6tal lack of ac
countability, which have been substitut
ed In response to popular demand have
taken out the vitality, of the Christian,
religion.
llie modern pulpit Is devoted to
'Christian Socialism,' and there has been
elimination of such subjects as the fu
ture, heaven or hell. Jesus Christ was
not a socialist, not a reformer or a
teacher, according to the modern theory,
but simply the Savior."
Dr. Soltau spoke for over an hour and
held close attention of the ministers, re
ceiving the thanks of the association for
his address.
At this meeting Rev. C. C. Poling,
chairman of the committee on securing
Hawfhorne Park, reported that It was
too late to secure that tract for a park,
as the trees are now being cut down.
Mr. Poling declared that there is no use
to undertake to ask the Park Commission
to secure land for public parks close In
for the use of,the people, for the reason
that the transportation company, "which
seems to control the selection of parks,
don't want them when the people can
reach them without iaking a car." He
cited the selection of the tract at Sell
wood. adjoining The Oakc resort, which
belongs to the electric railway company,
as an example of the work of the Park
Commission.

the cast includes 12 capable people prima
donna, comedian, the omnipresent tenor
hero, an attractive, well-trained chorus.
a splendid book, appropriate lyrics and a
sprightly score. This concentrated or vau-
devllled opera surpasses anything of the
kind we have seen here on the vaudeville
stage, because It has a plot. The author
f the piece is evidently an exponent of
the theory that "beauty unadorned," etc..
Is to be most desired, for the plot hinges
on the nude statue of Truth, which Is
placed in a convenient well and causes
wearing apparel mysteriously to disap
pear if a false statement be uttered within
certain radius. As a consequence, the
expose of lingerie, a regular June white
sale of pretty corphyee models. Is bewil
dering. George W. Leslie, the star and
comedian, appears as Johnny Mcintosh,
sergeant in the King's Scotch Highballs,
Ith a beautiful b-r-r-r. Miss Lillian
Lawson. the co-star, has a voice of pleas
ing quality and in addition is exception
vally attractive In appearance, being a chic
pocket edition of -the handsome Maxine
Elliot.
Peter Donald and Meta Carson give a
sketch called "Alex McLean's Dream,'
which is punctuated with singing and
dancing. Both appear in shiver-producing
clothes and find ready favor with the
audience. A sketch full of brisk humor
Is "The Dude Detective," In which Louise
Langdon appears in conjunction with
Frank Byron, the latter impersonating a
sappy youth with dizzy cerise socks, a
contra-tenor singing and a "perfect lady"
sneeze.
Charles Wayne, assisted by Gertrude
Des Roche and company, present "The
Morning After," a new comedy playlet
with interpolated music. The sketch Is
replete with fun, fast and furious.
"The Hebrew and His Friend" is devoid
of plot, but is an excuse for some fairish
dancing. ,

HE GRAND this week
Is like
slonally on the bill of fare a bit of
what you like, some of what you don't
like, and medium seasoning. But, all
in alL It'a a good bill, and seems to
please the patrons.
Halllday and Curley are the leading
features and are far and away ahead
of any act of their kind that has been
here. They are polite, gentle, com
edians, of the Chesterfleldlan school,
and their act, a military travesty, "The
Battle of Too-Soon," Is a salad of roars
and fun.
A trio of busy folk the two Con
nollys and Wenrlch are seen in a
melange of mirth, melody and song.
with some dancing thrown In for extra
measure. Wenrlch Is the composer of
several song hits, his latest perpetra
tions being "Rainbow," and "Naughty
Eyes," both of which are sung during
this act by the girl Connolly, who, by
the way, dances very much better than
she sings.
Caron and Herbert,, who are Dined
as premier acrobatic comedians, are a
pair that always make good. Caron
in a walking advertisement ror any
laundry, so Immaculate and starched is
he. and Herbert Is a tumbler worth
going blocks to see. It may be Caron
who Is the human windmill ana Her
bert who wears the starched lingerie.
but these sister teams always worry
me to know which Is which.
One of the hits of the bill Is Glrdel-
ler and his troupe of trained dogs.
These are four in number, a curb-stone
setter, of mongrel derivation, who an
swers (when he chooses) to the appro
priate name of Swift, and a Pomeran
ian, who has all these wnite canine
muffs who parade Portland's streets
skinned a city block for looks and
manners. The others are Just as clev
er; one, a lox terrier, lanes tne nouse
bv its ears, and the other one is a
ragged little Skye terrier who has more
sense than some people. The act Is so
full of life and fun that grown-ups as
well as the kiddies enjoy It.
A clever little farce Is presented by
Margaret Severance and company. In
which Miss Severance plays the role
of three women, in a particularly capa
ble way. The action is decidedly swift,
and there's something doing every
minute.
"The Doctor's Busy Day" Is the man
ner In which C. W. Williams, ventrilo
quist, styles his sketch. This act is
novel, with its mechanical actors, a
Mr. Hogan, who is spiffed, a Fluffy
Ruffles, whpse pains are many, a nig
ger messenger and a bad, bad office
boy, with propensities common to of
fice boys In general, 1. e., a disinclina
tion to work and a gift of gab. These
dummy people talk and sing at the
ventriloquist's command, and his imi
tations are Interesting and more than
worth the price.
Fred Bauer Is this week heard to ad
vantage in one of the old songs that
never grow aught but sweeter "Love's
Old, Sweet Song," with effetclve slides.
Pantages.
TUB best thing on the bill this week
at this popular playhouse Is, of
course, the feature act, Thalero's ponies
and dogs. There are three handsome,
well-trained Shetland ponies, five clever
little fox terriers and one lonely stub
born jassack in this contribution, under
the seemingly sufficient guidance of the
bespangled Thalero.
McCune, a clownish horizontal bar ar
tist, aided and abetted by a slender dam
sel who dances gracefully, gives a very
good act. His work on the bar is espe
cially worthy of note.
A team who call themselves prattling
pals, Kresko and Fox, present a rapid
fire paroxysm of English, Interspersed
with a few jokes, some of which are new,
and a great many of which are In the
last stages of senile' debility.
Hedges and Launchmere are a colored
couple who give burlesque opera selec
tions, followed by Imitations of two peo
ple on board- an ocean liner.
A one-act comedietta entitled "Twins"
Is presented by the Hickman-Miller Com
pany. The plot, which is not noticeably
heavy, le all about two brothers, Louis
and Llewellyn Barrlngton, who have not
seen each other for t-w-e-l-v-e long
y-e-a-r-s.
James and Kitty Brady present an act
that has several new features, one song
particularly, "Men and Women," being
new and possesses the distinction of be
ing humorous and clean. Kitty is a lady
of society, with a giddy hat and evening
dress, and James, who does some clever
steps, is dressed as a tout.
Jean vv Ilson is this week singing True
Blue," which Is being presented with ar
tistic new slides.
$200 in Prizes Awarded
Some time ago we offered to give
$200 in prizes for the best advertise
ments for Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
and in response received so many sam
ple advertisements that it has taken
our Committee several weeks to read
them and make the selections.
The prizes have been awarded as
follows:
First Prize, $100,
to J. R. Blake, of 1141 Myrtle Ave.,
Baltimore.
Second Prize, $50,
to E. C. Countryman, of 414 Dillaye
Bldg., Syracuse.
Third Prize, $25,
to W. S. Curdy of 73 Journal Bldg,
.Boston.
Fourth Prize, $10,
to W. J. Austin, of 6 Berwick Tark,
Boston.
Fifth Prize, $10,
to J. M. Planket, of 7 Doane St.,
Boston.
Sixth Prize, $5,
to W. W. Westerly, of 668V2 Fulton
St., Brooklyn.
Fo far as we know each one of the
prizewinners is an amateur artist and
this goes to show wnac lateni aDiuiy
we may have stored away in our
makeup, unknown to ourselves.
The great secret in writing an ad
vertisement is in knowing what you
are writing about, then make a plain
statement of facts, the same as if you
were telling a friend of some event.
To wnle a good advertisement
about Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey a
person should know the effect it has
on nervous and run-down cases, and
in cases of cold, bronchitis and lung
trouble.
One can then realize the strength
ening effect it has on body, brain and
nerve, and the aid it gives to the
vital forces, thus enabling a person to
write with a clear mind a concise,
forceful argument.
W e are always ready to purchase
at what itis worth any good idea or
advertisement that is sent us by any
readers of this paper. Duffy Malt

OLD AT TWENTY
Return of Youth With Proper Foe'd.
Many persons who eat plenty never
seem to be properly nourished.
That's because the food is not digest
ed and absorbed. Much that is eaten is
never taken up by the system as real
food, and so the tissues simply starve
and the individual may, as In a recent
case, look nnd feel old in what should
be the bloom of life, youfh.

Five Years
of Heart Trouble Cured by
Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy
"Before I began taking Dr.
Miles' Heart Remedy I had been
suffering from heart trouble for
over five years. I had pains in
my left side, and under my
shoulder blade, could not sleep
on the left side, and was so short
of breath the least exertion
would bring on the most distress
ing palpitation. I had scarcely
taken a half bottle of the Heart
Remedy before I could see a
marked change in my condition.
When I had taken six bottles I
was cured."
