Xo lonrer will the facetiously In
clined punster remark casually to his
friend that Foster & Klelser don't
Fpeak, and -when the friend Incautious
ly ask why not. be told that Foster
and Kleispr don't have to talk, they
make signs.
It's i nice old Joke and has done
service for years. The reason the
.1oke is no longer good form is that
Koster and Kle.iser have enlarged their
manufacturing propensities. They
make theaters. At least they've made
one, the new Columbian, and every
body knows that one good theater de
serves another.
They had a house warming last
night, an invitational affair.
The theater seats JjOOO persons 'and
every seat was taken.
The opening went off'wlth the regu
larity of clockwork and a spontaneity
that was due partly to the partici
pants In the programme, and quite as
much to the great big- cheering audi
ence. Theater and pragranmenwre and are
fSl acme of perfection.
Interior Is Garden of Blossoms. -
Outlined with 2500 electric, lights (I
counted 'em), the outside of the the
. ater of white brick and terra cotta
! commanded attention and brought de
flighted praise from the hundreds who
passed, or paused to admire-before en
tering the portals.
As if to lend additional metropoli
tan atmosphere. Sixth street and Stark
were lined with automobiles of folk
who sat inside the Columbia enjoying
the entertainment.
Only a society reporter could de
scribe the inside.- It was like a ver
itable garden of blossoms. Masses of
roses, great fragrant blossoms flung
their perfume on the air, great arms
fuls were carried up the aisles, to the
various speakers, soloists and the vio
: linist, and folk in the audience carried
bouquets. It was on orgy of perfumes
and colors an exquisite blending of
centa and sounds and sights.
The programme was of itself ex
cellent entertainment. George I
Baker, master of ceremonies, made a
irreat many apt and cheerful witti
cisms during Jiis service as introducing
medium for the various entertainers.
Colonel C. S. Jackson, speaker fol
lowing Mr. Baker, made the dedicator
lal address, dwelling on the education
al value of the theater.
Mn. Arthur Cunningham Brush, who
has a beautiful lyric soprano, was
heard in a trio of songs, and H. Den
nis, of the Clemmer Theater, Seattle,
delightfully gave two solos. Profes
sor Karp, director of the orchestra,
played two violin selections. Four
reels, licensed films of the General
Film Company, two fine dramas and
two roaring comedies, alternated with
the musical offerings. Following the
' programme; the entire staff, from own
ers to ushers, formed a reception com
mittee and the guests were shown all
over the beautiful building.
Decorative Scheme .Beautiful.
The decorative scheme of old gold
and a cool, -rare gray i3 picked out
heautifujly by the use of relief work.
On the -walls are decorative pastoral
paintings, faithful copies of Raphael
"Hours," ten of the 15 being produced.
The procenlum arch bears a splendid
copy of the Muses, the fine old blue
and red tones of the masters being
marvelouuly reproduced. Rich silk
hangings at all the windows and doors
and a gorgeous Oriental vari-colored
full-hanging- velvet stage curtain add
to the splendor of the equipment. The
i-arpets are of the sort that envelope
your leet, covering all the theater
save under the seats. The seats are
great wide, roomy, comfy leather chairs.
with plenty of room to stretch one's
legs or let people past without getting
up and spilling your lap full or hat
onto the floor.
The ladles' reception-room is hand
some. A warm, rich red carpet covers
tha floor, huge mirrors line the walls,
which are covered with fine crinkly
gray silk. Great easy chairs of wicker.
lounges, plenty of tapestry, cushions,
tables and a duck of a writing desk,
enlivened by the tapestry mountings of
blue and gold, make the room of really
dreamlike quality. The lighting Is of
the most modern for moving-picture
theaters. No lamps ox globes are vis
ible from the seats. There's enough
exits to satisfy the most squeamish.
And the ventilation is a joy. Today at
11 o'clock it will open to the public.
i:30 A. M. ' to 12?56' P. "4t." waamafked
by reports from various counties of
the state and the passasre of several
resolutions. Of 'these that one of
greatest importance was the decision
to co-operate very definitely in the
work of the State Development League.
State Immigration Commission and or
ganizations interested in the back-to-the-land
movement.
The resolution decried the inflation
of land values and placed the associa
tion on record as desiring to co-operate
in the effort to secure large
tracts of low-priced land and bring
the colonist into contact with the
owner rather than an array of middle
men. It stated that several colo
nies can be located In Oregon at an
early date if. ground in large tracts
can be secured at its actual worth.
The convention just ended, was at
tended by the largest number of bank
ers ever at an association's meeting in
this state and was especially marked
by the presence of banking men from

SEATTLE, Wash., June 18. (Spe

showed there were 4732 votes in favor
and 11,449 votes opposed to the plan
of increasing the membership of the
Port Commission from three to five.
Forty-eight country precincts and all

It Is Improbable that the missing pre

Issue and the election returns indicate
that no further questioning of that
policy is desired.
Throughout the entire county the
election proceeded quietly and compara
tively no electioneering was done. The
vote cast is double that represented In
the last election of a Port Commission.
There was no fight on the other
propositions, as & result of which the
port is to improve the south end of
the east waterway instead of Harbor
Island; issue ?S, 000, 000 of bonds for
this; cancel the $5,000,000 Harbor Island
bonds, and to adopt the general policy
of public. Instead of private, operation
of tho port improvements.
R. F. Ayres, of the Pacific Terminal
Company, appeared before the Port
Commission today to appeal for a re
consideration by the Commission of its
action in rescinding his contract for
the leasing of Harbor Island property
for the construction of docks and ware
houses to be operated by his company.
Ayers had failed to raise the money in
the time specified in the contract. No
action was taken today and Ayers may
take the matter into court. In the
meantime the Port Commission is pre
paring to undertake its own project,
the east waterway improvement.

Tour Starting From Hot Springs
Will Have Covered 80O0 Miles
When Madison, Wis., Reached..
C. T. Russell, an independent minis
ter, addressed a large publia gathering
at tho Gipsy Smith tabernacle last
night, taking for his subject "Beyond
the Grave," In which he-endeavored to
show the fallacy of belief in eternal
hell.
He arrived here yesterday at the In
vitation of the local class of the Inter
national Bible Students and is on a
trip which, when completed, will have
covered 8000 miles. Starting with a
National convention at Hot Springs,
the party, which travels in 11 Pullman
coaches, held one-day meetings in
Dallas, San Antonio, EI Paso, Pasa
dena, San Diego, Los Ang-eles, where
another convention was held, and San
Francisco and will leave today for
Tacoma, Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria,
Winnipeg-, ending- the tour with an
eight-day convention at Madison, "Wis.
The heaviest traffic on the trip, said
Pastor Russell yesterday, has been be
tween San. Francisco and Portland, no
less than 230 people epming on the
train to this city. He expects that at
least 260 will leave Portland for Se
attle, even allowing for a number
which will Teturn from here to San
Francisco and California points.
The Venerable Bible student in hia
address last night said in part:
"The grave marks the dividing line
between the known and the unknown.
All beyond sthe grave is held by faith,
not by knowledge. How important,
then, that we accept only Divine testi
mony on a subject regarding which
none but the Almighty could enlighten
us.
"I know that Spiritism professes to
have communications from the dead
and that thus it has proofs. I admit
that some learned men have become
psychlsts and corroborate Spiritists. I
prefer, however, to follow the Bible's
teaching and to believe those men de
ceived. The Bible tells us that the in
telligences which communicate through
mediums are not dead humans, but the
fallen angels. The Bible tells us. that
these evil spirits purposely strive to
deceive humanity and to misrepresent
God's plans; and that God will not fully
restrain them until an appointed time,
but meantime permits them to test our
loyalty and faith Godward."

Mr. E. Swens
Mr. E. Swenson, who resides at 470
GOth-Harrison avenue, Astoria, is an
other Plant Juice convert here. Mr.
Swenson. who is a fireman on the S. P,
& S. R. R., says:
"I have been afflicted with a bad
case of stomach trouble for the past
three years, and also suffered greatly
from constipation. My stomach was in
such a bad condition that I felt miser
able all the time. Everything I ate
disagreed with me, and there was
feeling of fullness in my stomach
that caused me great distress, so much
so that often I could not sleep. I fre
quently suffered from headaches and
dizzy spells. I heard so many other
people talking about Plant Juice I
thought I would try It, too. I have
now used three bottles, and It has been
of great benefit to me. My stomach Is
much improved. I am now eating most
everything I want, and the food Beems
to agree with me so I do not suffer
afterwards. In fact my whole system
is much improved. My mother has
been taking Plant Juice, too.. She suf
fered from bladder trouble and is very
much better since she began taking it:
she has only used one bottle, and we
are both very enthusiastic about Plant
Juice and glad to recommend It to
others."
Those who suffer from ailments of
the digestive organs, such as indiges
tion, sour stomach, bloating, gas. etc..
with poor appetite, impoverished blood,
biliousness and constipation, who are
run down generally and feel in bad
shape all over, should try Plant Juice
at once, the results are quick and sure.
