Be tween Portland and Sandy the time was 45 minutes and the distance IS miles. But th.e time made between Rhododendron Tavern and Government Camp is con s:dered most remarkable, owing to the sand and steep grades that must be over come, and the distance Is ten miles. Mr. Menxlfj drove the car and had as pas sengers Joe H. Lambert. George H. Stewart' and Donald Meyers, and the time was carefully noted so t lie re could be no mistake.

Montgomery, paator of the Third Presbyterian Church, has ac cepted the call to the Rf-cond Presby terian Church, or Oak Park Church, of Chicago, he carefully concealed his in tentions last Tuesday when an Orego nlan reporter held an interview with him at his" camp at the foot of Mount Hood. Mr. Montgomery Is an enthusi astic botanist and student of the moun tains, and the talk was confined entirely to those subjects, and he said nothing about accepting the second call to the Chicago church. His vacation, however. Is drawing to a close. He .will break camp today and with his family will re turn to Portland by Thursday or Fri day. Rev. Henry Marcotte. of Westmin ister Presbyterian Church, and Mrs. Marcotte. arrived at Government Camp from Crater Lake last week and - have been the guests of Mr. Montgomery for several days. Rev. H. H. Pratt, . of the Forbes Church, and family are camped within a stone's throw. Brick Bl-ilxixo Planned. C. K.

At pres ent this half-block site, which adjoins the building of the Lutke Manufacturing ComDany is unimproved, buildings wnicn were formerly upon It having been buried down about a year ago.

Trunks, suitcases and bags. Largest variety at Harris Trunk Cu. New Bills Open at the Vaudeville Houses Orpheum. BY ARTHUR A. GFEENE. THE fact that the best playwrlting talent Is turning its attention to ward the writing of vaudeville Bketches Is well demonstrated in the remarkable little melodrama called Circumstantial Evidence," which serves as the piece de resistance on tho Orpheum stage this week. It is Interpreted by 12 men, the absence of women being a somewhat re freshing novelty. The scene is a jury .room with the 12 men on whom the fate of a man charged with murder depends. They have been out a day and a night and the vote stands 11 for conviction and one for acquittal. The Juryman who Is holding out for acquittal refuses to agree In spite of the taunts and brow beating of his associates. An element of comedy is Introduced In the efforts mada by the 11 to pass the time, the member who Is hanging the verdict re maining moodily by himself. It de velops that his wife Is lying at the point of death, but. In spite of his anxiety to be at her bedside, he refuses to make the vote unanimous. Finally word Is brought him that she has died during his absence and the dissenter confesses that he com mitted the crime but had allowed another to be placed In Jeopardy for fear of the effect of his disgrace on the Invalid wife. Although somewhat- improbable, the sketch is intense with human interest and sounds an entirely new note. Fred erick Webber, who plays the guilty Juror, handles the role capably, in spite of a tendency toward etaginess. It develops that some Of the men have first-class singing voices through rendition of old ballads and three or four comedians of parts relieve the grewsomeness of the piece. Ed Wynn and his partner, Al Lee. in their unique comedy turn. "The Billlken Freshman," are enthusiastically received and their diverting nonsense is sufficient ly funny to merit the many recalls re ceived. Mr. Wynn Is one of the few fun makers of the Cohan type who are calculated to interest intelligent people and he has the "Yankee Doodle Boy" beaten to an attenuated whisper. The musical Johnsons do a stereo typed xylophone turn and please every body, as is the custom of xylophone acts. The public seems never to grow tired of that particular form of music and these people are artists in spite of the fact that they will insist on giving us "Poet and Peasant." However, no xylophone act would be legal Vithout that or "W 11 liam Tell." Crouch and "Welch do a busy few min utes of dancing and knockabout humor satisfactorily. Charles Montrell, the Jug gler, owes a lot to the blackface actor who' assists him and so his act is one of the favorites. Harry Richards and his company appear in a piece called "Love a la Mode." why, no one knows, and Beth Stone also dances along. Grand. 7V T the Grand this week the headline i act, a "dramalette" called "Pals, is a genuine thrill producer. The play letfe begins in a comedy vein and ter minates in a rough and tumble fight of a virulent form. The sketch deals with two chums enamored of the same .girl, the Jealousy bee being the excuse for the rough-house finale. During the ab-" sence of one. the marriage of the other is consummated, and in all good faith the rejected sulfor la invited to dine with the happily wedded pair. The husband, be ing called away on business, the "villun" Insults the woman. At this Juncture the hero returns and in a remarkably realis tic stage fight leaves his adversary beaten to an attenuated murmur. Tom and Stacie Moore made a large sized hit yesterday in tneir potpourri oj stories and songs which they call "The Act Beautiful." The feminine end of the duo is a handsome woman who wears a full wardrobe of stunning creations. From a sartorial standpoint alone this act is a winner, the piece do resistance being a peach basket hat two feet in height and adorned with- genuine . fruit. Tom Moors also wears clothes down to the minute, and what is more to the point, can really "comede." Billy Court, a Scotch comedian tells "hoot mon" stories, sings heather songs and has an oily brogue. Mort' Sharp and his six dancing belles have an act that Is out of the ordinary. In the guise of Creoles a quartet of pretty colored girls sing and dance in pleasing -unison. Sharp, assisted by a lithe and graceful belle, does several specialties showing capable team work. The two Ahlbergs, New Zea land acrobats, are original and show clev erness and skill in a number of eccentric stunts. Pantages. WHIL73 local vaudeville patrons have seen a number of well done globe tricks it is doubtful if anything quite so astonishing in that line as is offered by Hanson and Jcrnie at Pantages this week. They submit a number of Innova tions. The rolling spheres are manipu lated by these adepts In a marvellous manner, the culminatlon'of the act being when Hanson is locked into a large globe and by sheer muscular effort ex ercised from the Inside manages to roll the globe up a staircase. This is a feat that makes the most blase spectator sit up and notice. Another novelty on the present card of events Is the turn of Martlnettl and Gross!, another Imported act. It is a musical offering the man making his entrance on a bicycle which falls to pieces on the stage disclosing the fact that each of its parts is a musical In strument of some sort, some of them wonderful to behold. The team then proceeds to render a number of pleasing selections which malte a strong appeal to the audience. A contortion act of more than usual interest :s that of the Shelvey brothers who do a number of surprising stunts, most of them out of the ordinary. Hamil ton and Konca are musical artists worth, hearing. Miss Ronca playing the violin acceptably and Hamilton singing in a passable voice. A female monologlst, Nada Moret, Tegge and DanieJ, dutch comedians; Leo White with an Illustrated ballad and the moving pictures complete the show. THIEVES STRIP SAILBOAT Even the 500-Pound Centerboard of the Feek-a-P.oo Is Stolen. Captain Verne Porter, of the sailboat Peek-a-Boo, one of the largest chaft of its type on the river, reported to the PO l'ce yesterday morning the loss of almost everything detachable on the boat. In chiding a frW-pound centerboard, used to control the boat. With a party of friends. Captain Porter startd for a sail Sunday afternoon and found the craft could not be controlled, a capsize almost resulting. SEWER WILL BE ACCEPTED Executive Board Pays Xo Heed to Protest About Brooklyn Conduit. Paying absolutely no heed to an affi davit and forma! p'Otest against the workmanship of the Brooklyn sewer, filed recently by one J. B. 1 Ziegler, the City Executive Board I will meet In special! session next Fri day and accept the big conduit. As numerous persons, among them the en- gineers, have passed through tne sewer and have pronounced it a first-class Job, this remonstrance by one known at the City Hall as a specialist on com plaints, will have no weight, according to Mayor Simon. - v "We will accept the Brooklyn sewer," said Mayor Simon, and will re quire of the contractors a good and sufficient bond to protect the city, in the event anything defective develops in the works. However, there seems to be no doubt that the tube is a flrst class one, and that it will last for more than a generation; in fact, it will last many .times that long, we confidently expect." , City Engineer Morris and the mem bers of the Sewer Committee ,of the Executive Board express them selves as highly pleased with the Brooklyn sewer, and are perfectly willing to sign the acceptance any time. Therefore the Board will meet in special session next Friday, when the chief business will be the final taking over of the sewer, which cost 250.000. and was built by Paquet. Glebisch & Joplln. The Executive Board wjll also meet today, as is customary, to pass on payrolls and to transact any Lusiness which may be necessary. MARS WILL HIDE FADE PLAXET AND MOOX IX OCCXLTA TIOX TOMORROW. Eclipse of Interesting Sphere Will Be Visible In Washington, but Xot In Portland. That most interesting of celestial bodies from the standpoint of earth mortals, the planet Mars, will enter into occultation with the moon tomorrow eve ning. Occultation, be it said, is Just an astronomical way of saying eclipse; Mars will be eclipsed by the moon. At 8:42 P. M. Washington time, or 5:42 o'clock in Portland, the moon will begin to pass In front of Mars, and 57 minutes later, at 9:39 o'clock Washington time or 6:29 here, the planet will emerge from the occultation. As the difference be tween Washington, D. C, time and that of Portland, however. Is thre hours and the eclipse lasts only 57 minutes, it will not be visible here at all. and nome- goers in poorly lighted suburban districts need have no worry that the brightness of the planet will be dimmed. On September 23, Mars and its satellites will be in opposition to the earth, and at that time the star will be at its brightest in several years. Mars shines with a brilliant red color wnicn nas gained It the name among scientific men of "the red planet." Sometime in the very near future Mars will be in closer Juxtaposition to the earth than It has been in 15 years, and astronome.-s are making great prepara tlons to study it with telescope and camera. It is hoped that some of the mooted Questions as to whether Mars inhabited and whether the network of lines which powerful glasses snow upon lts'surface are really a great system of canals made by Martian engineers can then be settled. Ordinarily iMars is something like 4S. 000,000 miles from the earth. When It reaches Its point of closest Juxtaposition however, it will be about 15.000,000 miles closer. But at that it will still be quite a bit more than a good day's walk for a grown man to step off the intervening snace between Mars and us. John McNulty, nautical expert in charge of the United States branch hydrograDhiCiOfflce In the custom-House gave some interesting figures about the planet yesterday. Mr. McNulty found that the average distance between Mars and the sun Is 141,000.000 miles. Its year Is 322 days longer than ours, for it takes it 6S7 days to complete its swing around the sun. The Martian day is also 37 minutes longer than one on earth. Mars is 4200 miles in diameter as compared to a little more than S000 miles for our own globe. A man from the earth, would be likely to have quite an exciting time of it on Mars until he got used to the difference In gravity. This Is so great that a 200 pound man here would weigh only 75 pounds there. It a baseball player on Mars got a good swat at the ball, he would send it so far it never could be found again.
