hss been doing a little "gum-shoeing"
to catch a supposed law-breaker on

Importing Elk to Forest Re
serve Held Menace.
RANGE REDUCTION FEARED
Wallowa County Growers Oppose
Flnlcj'g Plan to Iiberate Ant-,
mala. Saying Sheep Pas
ture Will Be Cut.
Opposition to the plan of the State
Game Warden to liberate 16 elk from
Wyoming In the Wallowa Forest Re
serve hss developed In the form of a
resolution psssed by the Wallowa
County Wool Growers' Association,
which met at Enterprise. Or, last
week. This Information wss contained
In a letter received by State Game
Warden Flnley yesterday.
The reason for their objection to
the plan is based on the belief that
the sheep range should not be reduced
and that the 2.500 acres to be used for
the elk preserve should be devoted to
sheep pssture.
Herds Growl a a saller.
In replying- to their letter State
Game Warden Flnley pointed out that
the elk herds In thla atate are gradu
ally diminishing and that unless some
means Is adopted of protecting those
remaining and the Importation of new
herds from tlfe Jackson Hole Country
of Wyoming, the species would become
extinct In Oregon. He also declared
thst ths area to be used for the elk
would not seriously affect the sheep
pasturage in the Wallowa country.
Notwithstanding the disfavor with
which the Wallowa cattle and sheep
growers regsrd the plan, arrangements
for the transportation of the 15 elk
which Mr. Flnley secured from the
Government several months ago are
going forward. Eaoh animal Is to be
crated and transported by wagon over
the Teton Pass In the Jackson Hole
country to St. Anthony. Idaho, a dls
tsnce of 10 miles. The work of crating
tha elk Is now going on and they
should reach St. Anthony about
February 2.
Enterprise Sabaerrbea Fwad.
That the opposition to the placing
of tha elk on the Wallowa Reserve
does not extend to the citizens of En
terprise Is shown by tha. fact that a
subscription of $250 haa been received
from them toward a fund for
carina; for tha elk after they
have arrived In this state The
Elks Lodge of Portland haa also
subscribed 1100 towards the main
tenance of the herd until there Is
sufficient pasturage for them. It Is
estimated by Mr. Flnley that It will
require $1,000 to provide the animals
with hay for that period and to pay tha
coat of their transportation.
The area which Is to be used for the
elk la a tract of S.500 acres known as
Billy Meadows Pasture In the Wallowa
National Forest. It Is fenced with
coyote-proof fence and was used for
a time by the Forestry Department.

PORTLAND AUDIENCES
ENJOY TWO RECITALS
t
Musically Inclined Folk Given Rare Treat on Sunday Afternoon in Piano
Selection Renditions.
UP TO now we in Portland have only
.Known Miss Augusta Cottlow,
American pianist, by what we have
read of her or from what our friends
who have heard her play In recital
work In other cities of this country or
In Europe have told us. Yesterday aft
ernoon. In the big. downstalra parlors
of the Portland Hotel. Miss Cottlow
gave her first piano recital here, under
the auspices of the Monday Musical
Club, and was so much of a success
that It Is safe to predict when she
next plays In recital In this city, she
will be welcomed by enthusiastic
friends.
The scene of the recital had a sug
gestion' of the artistic atmosphere of
a aalon In Paris or London. It was
utterly different from the usual setting
of the ordinary theater stage, with ex
its, and the physiological atmosphere
that marks the stage. The scene rather
resembled the large music-room of a
private home, after the salon effect.
Women, especially women who are rec
ognised aa serious musicians; were much
in evidence, and the entire recital met
with enthusiastic approval. At this re
cital, also, speculation waa Indulged In
among the audience, between pauses,
ss to the exact artistic position held by
Miss cottlow among great pianists.
"Is Mlse Cottlow tho greatest woman
pianist In America?" waa asked. Ajraln
the personal element enters, with per
sonal preferences for Individual pian
ists. We must also estimate Miss
Cottlow'e recital by the worth of it. by
her Individual artistry stamped on her
renditions of selections of gems from
Bach. Chopin, MacDowell. Debussy.
Rachmaninoff and Lisst. Her MacDow
ell had tha most musical value, and
was given with sincerity and charming
finish. Miss CottloWs art has matur
ity and confidence. She Is sure, and
her Interpretations are stamped with
authority. In her tone painting we
gladly follow her. She la easily very
great pianist among the world's best.
She was applauded again and again
and waa ahowered with compliments,
her encore numbera being "Mazurka.
B flat Minor" (Chopin) and "Rlgau
don" Raff.
The Policy holder a' Company
Is Best for
dlrcgonlifc
produced an affidavit by Morrla
Herschkovitx, who affirms that itess
lefs restaurant Is a disreputable re
sort. Mr. Coffey said last night that
tha statements of Strasberg are rank
perjury, and denied absolutely ever
having been In Kessler's restaurant at
any time.
, "This man Strasberg and Kessler
went before the December grand Jury
and Bought to have me Indicted for In
timidating Kessler to discharge Stras
berg," said Mr. Coffey last night. "In
this, of course, they falled.V That tha
people may know what kind of a place
Keasler's restaurant la and the type
and character of men Kesler and Stras
berg are. I have an affidavit from
Morris Herschkovltz, whose wife has
been employed at Kessler's Kosher
Restaurant. 149 Yamhll street, and sub
mit It for their consideration."
The Herschkovltz affidavit was made
February (. 1912. and contains sensa
tional charges against both Kessler and
Strasberg. It alleges that Herschkovltz'
wife. Ida Herschkovitx, has been em
ployed ss ssslstant cook In Kessler's res
taurant, and that In that length of
time she has been induced by Stras
berg to enter a dissolute life, including
the abandonment of her husband and
two young children. Herschkovltz de
clares In his sworn statement that his
wife, prior to entering the employ of
Kessler, wss a well-behaved and good
woman and wife, but that she has
since deserted her husband and family.
Herschkovltz alleges that he repeat
edly sought to have his wife leave her
place of employment, and frequently
advised her to disregard the evil In
fluences and bad advice with which
she was surrounded, but to all this she
turned a deaf ear, avers Herschkovltz,
and persisted In leading; an evil life, re
maining away from home several
nights and always refusing to account
for her absence. Herschkovltz further
affirms that when he applied to Kessler
for Information concerning the where
abouts of his wife a few days ago, he
was ordered away from tha restaurant
by Kessler.

Original Site Is Favored.
A resolution favoring- tha originally
proposed location of the South Portlaad
bridge, extending from Woodward ave
nue, on the East Side, to Meade street on
the West Side, was sdopted at a meeting
of the Greater South Portland bridge
committee, held In the Council cham
ber of the City Hall Saturday night.
A committee, consisting of John Perry,
K. I. Mills and A. It. Keenan, was ap
pointed by President Raffety, of the
committee, to confer with Mayor Rush
light next Thursday. This was done
because the original estimate of the
cost of the bridge was reduced from
$1,400,000 to $900,000. The Kast Side
TIIE name of Olga Steeb has become
a houshold word, musically speak
ing, since her arrival In this city last
Summer to become a resident. She has
given three or four big recitals here,
but none of these has been so signifi
cant, so sterling In artistic values as
that of yesterdsy afternoon at the
Helllg Theater.
Miss Steeb is so young, so far as
years are concerned. In that branch of
the artistic profession relating; to the
fine, educated rendition of piano music,
that her recital work, sincerity and
undoubted planlstlc genius command
our cordial sympathy and enthusiasm.
She Is great. It la idle to reckon on
one's fingers who is "the greatest liv
ing woman pianist." It were better to
remember, after all, that comparisons
are personal opinions or preferences,
and, if favorable. please the star
praised, white the friends of other mu
sic stars whet their knives. The dis
putants In the end please nobody
How much better Is It to use the
time in valuing; the Individual pianist
for the personal worth of her offering
and the pleasure her work gives. Meas
ured by thla atandard. Miss Steeb Is
among the great artistes of a lifetime,
and she will yet reach greater heights
of merit. Yesterday afternoon she was
the only person on the big Helllg stage,
and for one hour and a half gave the
greatest pleasure to the audience as
sembled to do her honor, pleased to
come under the spell of her genius.
Miss Steeb had all the technique of
the occasion at her fingers' ends, and
her art triumphed over bristling diffi
culties from selections hy Usst, Bach
IJszL. Brahms. Chopin and Strauss. She
played with beautiful finish,' and was
ever a g-uide like a shining- star In
interpretation. Of course, the selections
given are well known here and are
recognised as classlques. but Miss
Steeb's personal touch will live In
grateful remembrance. She was most
cordlallv received, her extra numbers
being "Walts In O flat" (Chopin). "Ca
price In E" (Pagannlnl-Llsst).

LAST week I advertised
for 10 salesmen to
make this organization
large enough to handle
the business.
From the numerous applica
tions received I havo just picked
bis good men.
I want four more rifrht away,
because we must get fully organ
ized to handle the Eastmore
land campaign, which I am going
to open in a few days after
which we will not have time to
hire and break in new salesmen.
' If you are a salesman and de
sire to better your condition I'd
be glad to have you come in and
talk the matter over with my
sales manager, Mr. J. F. Kinder.
