R. N. J Co. will be possible before June 1, ac cording to estimates prepared by George W. Bosch ke. chief engineer. Grading on a section six mile west of Troutdale, over which the right of way waa but recently obtained, ha been completed and tracklayer are busy on that piece of road. They have about two miles to cover with rail and expect to have their task completed by the end of this month. Th road will be ballasted thoroughly. the rest played off the boards. Played by W. H.

A rehearsal la called, and it is thla part of the act that 1 a riot of fun. One woman doubles in the roles of little Eva and Simon Legree; Miss Nichols plays Eliza and the blood hounds; Murphy is stage director and "Propa" aids and abets. Every feature or the old tale lends Itself admirably to travesty, and thes actors take advan tage of the fact with line and business that bristle with activity and meaning. Uncle Tom is, by th axlgencies of necessity, disposed of before the first act, and the two big scenes are of Eliza and her ch-e-l-ld. crossing the ice, and later Eva en route to Heaven.

The new road from Portland to Troutdal Is 19.6 mile In length. It 1 no saving in distance, but it eliminate the bill on the Sullivan's Guloh route. Actual construction work was neces sary from the east end of the new Pen insula tunnel to Troutdale. a distance of 17 miles. In this work It was neces sary to cross Sandy road boulevard twice, and In so doing th company constructed two overhead crossings one at Kenton and th other at th junction of the Sandy and Slough roads, at a cost In excess of $90,000. Th on at Kenton ha been completed, but th contractor are still working on the other. They expect to have It finished In a few weeks. With th completion of this line all grade crossings between Portland and Troutdal will have been eliminated, as by operating through th new tunnel th run around St. Johns also will ba avoided. Th company co-operated with th County Commissioners In th con struction of th two overhead crossings, obtaining the consent of the local offi cials to change the road slightly In thes two places, that th tracks would not need to be on th same level with Sandy road, which 1 a much-traveled thoroughfare. Automoblllst frequent thl road at all seasons and accidents woufd have been difficult to avoid with th old-fashioned grade crossings. This new cut-off virtually gives th O.-W. R. A N. Co. th use of two tracks between this city and Troutdale. and while th operating department has not yet worked out a schedule. It Is likely that they will be used as a double-track system, with the east bound traffic oper. ating through th tunnel and over th new line. While this may not reduce th run ning time of trains, it will avoid fre quent confusion and congestion of trade In Sullivan's Gulch. It Is often necessary, under present conditions, to hold westbound trains between Port land and Troutdal to allow eastbound train to pass. Th general course or th new line follow th course of Sandy boulevard. Most of th right of way was obtained through farm lands and good prices were paid for property. Work was held up last winter while right-of-way agents finished their task. The last property to be obtained was Ave acre from B. P. Reynolds, for which 120.000 was paid. This is said to be a record price on the Peninsula. Twohy Bros or this city, nave aon most of th grading, but th company Itself 1 doing the tracklaylng.

Fantages. 1 TXE of th best Impersonator on I J th American vaudeville stag to day 1 th Great Wilhelml, now ap pearlng in Portland at the Pantage howhousa. This is hi first tour of th United States, all his previous work having been done in Europe, particu larly In Paris. Original In the idea of choosing great musical artists as mod els for Imitation, he executes their facial expressions, their poise and mode of leading their orcheatraa to a per fection that 1 marvelous. He Is as sisted by an elght-plec orchestra of his own. which appear with him on the platform. Both th music and his ability as an impersonator would give tins act a topllce merit on any vaude vllle bill. A more petite, perfect little woman than Alice Berry, who stand about four feet and perhaps two Inches, can't be Imagined. A doll comedienne she certainly is and a tip-top one at that. Her Impersonation, or rather burlesque, of Tetrazzlnl singing grand opera is a "scream," while "Red-head" and "Oh. What I Know About Ton" exactly suit her chlld-lik vole and appearance. Not In the least Inferior to Alice Berry, though of a very different char acter. 1 the act of Bessie Benton and Charles Tyler, who skat on roller. performing a number of extremely dif ficult stunts, none of which, however, are burlesque or awkward. Their grace of movement and skillful response to time make their skating act one of the few beautiful ones on th stage Kimball Brother and Segal turn out a rattling good line of silly talk with song and dance of equal cleverness, while preceding them on th pro gramme are Henry B. Toomer and Nan Hewln in a skit entitled. "It Hap pened in Loneyvllle." in which they make a big hit by introducing a real live baby about seven months old, which coo delightfully at th audience and. at the final of th country hotel farce, wave "by-by" at the apprecia tive house.

The New York Journal says of his ' record-breaking triumph at Carnegie nan: "Mr. Elman played better than he lias at any time sine his first appear ance In New York. Never before has he shown such assurance, has be ob tained such beauty, such sensuousnes of ton from bis Instrument.

And this week at the Grand the pro gramme Is no exception. Though Trovello holds the topllne position the distinction tf first-class quality must be divided between his ex ceptional work with dummies Intro ducing several distinct ventriloquist acts, and the Imitations of Harry Lau der, Eddy Foy. and David Warfleld by Carl McCullough, lately leading Juve nile with "Mclntyre and Heath la Hartl" In a skit which he calls "Just Doro thy" S. Miller Kent, who recently starred in "Raffles' and ' "Th Cow boy and th Lady," makes a big Im pression on hi audience. Th stag setting for his act Is attractive, show ing a bachelor's apartment in New York on Christmas eve. Kent, or rather Jack Martin, th name be assumes. Is in New York after three years passed in th West making good for th sake of th girl ba loves. However, an evening paper tells him that she has married a duke and Is returning from Europe a bride Instead of returning to keep her promise to him that she would meet him there on tho- night before Christ mas. He swears to give up girls and the follies of civilization, and take his Chinese valet and go back to the ranch. The valet, by the way, does some mighty good acting himself. Th whole act Is full of life and action and ends, of course, as It should, that the newspaper story was all a mistake and that Doro thy was still true. Norton and Russell have a perform ance which Is remarkable -for the lightening change of costume which they execute. With only two persons In the act It appears almost Impossible that any man or woman can Changs from on queer grotesque sort of char acter representation In so few seconds. The second feature on the bill Is com posed of excellent clogging as well as a set of up-to-date songs sung in good voice by the Imperial Sextet.- These men clatter and sing about the stage with only the utter relaxation and per fect time of which the professional dancer Is capable. Others on the bill this week are Walker and Sturm, who Juggle racquets, balls and hats with th agility of long practice. They are in no way Inferior to the rest of the show and fill a large part in the entertain ment. Sixth Ward Promoters Organize.
