Boose, of 314 Salmon street, was1 severely peppered with bird shot about the arms, chest and face, his right eye being dangerouaJy injured, yes terday afternoon while duck hunting near Scappoose. on the Swede Johnson lake. The name of the man whose shot ac cidentally struck the Portland man Is unknown. Boose was brought to the city and taken to St. Vincent s Hospital, where an effort is being made to save his wounded eye.

A. workers spoke in the various churches in the morning and at a mass meeting in the Methodist Church last night. Secretary Stone delivered the main talk last night, setting forth what a branch in that suburb would mean He said it would be a part of the city asso ciation, but controlled by the local com mittee. Mr. Stone pointed out that T. M. C. A. work had extended all over the country and that $K.0o,0u0 had been expended th past year in buildings. The great rail roads, he said, had established Y. M. C.

Smoke was discovered issuing from the basement of Lennon's glove store at 309 Morrison street about 3 o'clock yester day afternoon. A fire alarm was turned In and by the time the department had arrived the entire basement was a mass of flames surrounding a lot of rubbish and a little stock. The firemen managed to put the lire out with chemicals and by quelling the dames without water kept the loss down to a minimum. Save for smudging the stock, the fire did little damage. Charles F. Berg, man ager of the store, was unable to esti mate the loss, but said if the smoke had stained the large stock of gloves on hand it would be valueless and the loss would be heavy. The loss is fully covered by insurance. WHEREJTO DINE. After the fire The Portland Restau rant, 305 Washington street, being cloied for a few days on account ol fire, lias reopened for business.

Girl From Alaska" at the Portland AT THE Portland Theater this week the Charles Taylor Stock Company is producing "The Girl From Alaska," a play emanating from the pen of Charles F. Taylor. The plot possesses the dis tinctive quality of being unusual, but dif fers little from the average run of near problem plays. Bill -Martin, an artist, - marries his model. After a few years the wife harkens to the call of the calcium and leaves her babies and husband for a stage career. Her husband goes to Alaska, but the death of one of the children brings them together again, only to find that many things have drifted into their lives and that reconciliation is impossible. Martin brings home with him "Alaska Lou," a sweet little maid, whom he has made his protege. The wife is having a love affair with an ol( college 'friend of hr husband's. This strained condition of affairs forms the nucleus of the story. Klizabeth Hale, in the role of May lis ter, the wife, is given opportunity to show her excellent dramatic ability and emotional powers. As "Alaska Lou," the girl from the far northland, Helen Bar ham is delightful. Besides personal at traction. Miss Brham possesses youth, charm and power to hold her hearers. William Thome is most convincing as the clubman and college friend of the husband, and Grenville Goddard contrib utes to the humor of the situation with his lifelike delineation of Malamute Mil ler, from Charley Horse Camp. Slangy, but straight from the shoulder, and always dealing square, is Kate Daw son in the hands of Nellie Jones. She makes the character one of the best In the play. Commendable, too, is the work of Gittus Lonsdale, as the artist and husband, who is torn between love for his protege and duty to his baby's mother. Verne Layton wins much praise in his in terpretation of the peacemaker, the brother of the artist. One thing, however, is assured. They will have to engage another canine than the Irish setter which plays the part of "Curly, the Alaskan dog. In the last act. or the show will be broken up. Curly's antics last night almost resulted in a riot.

THE success of "The Spoilers," which opened yesterday at the Baker with well-known local talent in the cast, was not due so much to the exertions of any particular one of theectors, but rather to the boldness of the story it has to tell and the wonderfully human characteris tics shown. The play, as one would nat urally suppose, is an adaptation from the novel of the same name by Rex Beach. The story is simple enough andpara mount is the Ingenuity with which it is told. Two miners. Roy Glenister and Joe D&xton, who own the Midas, a rich Alas kan mine, book passage on a steamer bound for the diggings. .On board they meet. Helen Chester, carrying secret letter of much importance from the East ern swindlers who have created a dove tailed plot to rob the miners of their hard-earned diggings. When Glenister arrives in Dawson he meets McXamara, the arch conspirator, who also is in love with Helen About this simple plot the story levolves with moving-picture-like rapidity. The lynching scene, the light between Glenister and McXamara, the dancehall scene, are all interesting, show ing the unconquerable spirit of the typi cal American man. and what Ihe ral Amer:can woman can do when die :s rut to the test. The settings are appropriate an,; the rrcKi.iction pleased a packed house yes terday. Allen Holuber as Glenister, the owner of the Midas, gave convincing work, as did also Herbert Ashton. who played the role of Alexander McXamara, the Czar of Dakota and receiver of the Midas and other mines at Nome. Kdward Law rence contributed much humor with his portrayal of Slapjack Simms, the foreman of the Midas. Ralph Bell was a favorite with his audience in his particularly faithful rendering of Drury Chester, the brother of Helen, known as the "Broncho Kid," and owner of the Northern dance hail. Miss Grace Kern is easily the best feminine actor, and her delineation of the dancehall girl. Cherry Malotte, was good. Lily Branscombe lends humor with her role of the Duchess. Margaret Oswald is seen aa Helen Chester. There will be ttI N Innocent Sinner" is the title of a AY melodrama with which the Athon Stock Company began another success ful week's engagement at tne wnc Theater with matinee and night perform ances yesterday. The scene of the play is laid In tne mountains of Tennessee, and the plot deals? with the mesmeric influence of the village miser, a doctor, who contrives, by means of his influence over a girl, to have her murder her sweetheart while she is in a hv"pnotic state, and afterwards plots to marry her himself through knowledge of her deed. The girl is ar rested and after spending 13 months in prison, is freed by a jury, and is claimed by the brother of the man she is said to have murdered. This brings the schem ing doctor again on the scene and imme diately after the girl is married, he ex erts his influence over her and forces her to go through the performance of the murder before her husband. A separa tion Is in order when the villain is stricken with an attack of paralysis. The last act presents a strong scene m which the stricken doctor confesses his influence over the girl, partly by means of signs, and by a strong effort regains his. voice slightly. The villain's role is handled most capably Tjy Sidney Paine. It is the strongest character in the play, and Mr. Paine's interpretation is deserv ing of considerable praise. Will D. How ard, as Tom Bridges, and Priscilla Knowles. as riinaa uecjuimn, tne unu and heroine, display a deep appreciation of their art. Both win their audience from the start. Dorothy Davis, as Laughing Jane, an adventuress bent on reforming, and who is the only witness to the murder, has a rather unwelcome role, but proves her self an excellent actress by her clever work. Minnie Gerschell, as Mrs. Smiley, and Alice Condon, as Dora Smiley, to gether with Mr. Athon, as James Pad gett, contribute the comedy vein. in which they are also assisted by G. L. Walling and Percy Kilbride. Dainty little Effle Johnson is cast as Peggy Baker. The other characters are good Booth Company Transferred. ASTORIA, Or., Oct. 31. (Special.)
