14 TTTE JTOKNIXG OREGOXTA7T. TTTESDAT. NOVEMBER 18, 1913. COUNTY ROAD LEVY FIXED AT .7 MILL Committee's Estimate to Make $388,000 Available for . 1914. LAST MEETING IS HELD Highway Patrol and Contract Plan on New "Work Are Features Rec , ommended Keport Is to Bo Ready Thursday. At its final meeting for the consid eration of the 1914 county budget, the advisory committee last night de termined on .7 mill as the road levy for next year. This levy would raise $238,000, estimating on a J340.000.000 valuation. W ith a balance on hand January 1. 1914, of 1130.000, and $20,000 which the county will receive as its ehare of the automobile licenses, the total new road fund for 1914 would be lirought to $388,000. In addition to this there Is a balance of about $70,000 or $75,000 already set aside for the Co Jumbia River Highway. The advisory road committee, at a meeting1 held last week with the County Commissioners, adopted reso lutions calling on the Commissioners to make the road levy 1.2. A levy of this size would raise $408,000 from tax ation, which, with the $220,000 now available, would have raised the total 1914 road fund to $608,000, more than the budget committee thought was needed. fund la Apportioned. The 4388,000, which the commit tee thinks is all that can be profitably spent next year, is apportioned as fol lows: Road District No. 1 Falarles Supervisor 1,800 foremen 6.573 Maintenance small bridges 12,000 Patrol system 6,000 Contract work, standard roads 160,000 3q.ulpment 6,50o Total $100,873 Road District No. 2 Salaries and labor ............$ 26,000 Material and supplies 2,300 Total J 28.000 Columbia River highway. .......... llM.Ouo Kelly Butte Quarry ................ 26,900 JMnnton Quarry 15,000 prlngdale Quarry ................. 8,180 I Grand total $388,253 Two new features are embodied In this estimate. One Is the new road patrol, for which $5000 has been pro vided. This feature, it is believed, will more than save itself in the matter of timely repairs, especially when road way has been damaged by hard rains and washouts. It is believed, too, that a systematlo patrol will enable the road forces to make repairs before the damages to the roads have become so serious as to necessitate general re construction. Contract Plan Feature. Another new feature is the plan to fio all the new road construction on the contract plan, according to a fixed standard. This is provided for by a law passed at the Legislature last Win ter. The only other change made in the budget as previously fixed by the com mittee Is in the Janitor service at the Courthouse. A new schedule of wages, providing for the expenditure of $20, 2G0 for the care of the building was passed. The new schedule follows: Superintendent s 1 020 Head janitor 'eoo Assistant janitors, 18...., 14 040 NlKht watchman 'it60 Telephone girls, 2 1,500 Contingency 780 Total $20,280 Final determination of all recommen dations have been made, and the com mittee will hold a meeting later this week to sign the report and the budget when they are put in the form in which they wil be presented to the Commis sioner. The committee said last night that the final report would be . ready for the Commissioners by Thursday morning. New Bills Open at the Vaudeville Houses Lyric. AN AFTERNOON or evening spent at the Lyrlo this week is time quickly passed, for the turn of the bill serves up another of the whirlwind comedies for which the musical stock liouse is famed. There is' an addition to the family this week in Lllyan Mason whose char acterization made a big hit yesterday. In the week's play she i3 an impostor In the colored lady who claims a mar riage with Captain George Medway, the man around whom the plot thickens. Captain Medway is supposed to have perished In a ship wreck. However, lie is not wrecked, but is taken to a hospital where Cleopatra, the colored mammy, la a nurse. Some one gets her to believe that she is married to the captain and she follows him on his return to the heart broken wife, portrayed by that very Interesting Miss Dorothy Kaymond. However, Cleopatra is convinced of her !rror and. agrees to return to Honolulu In company with Carraway Bones, played by Gus Leonard, who is, of course, a Bcream, as usual. The offering makes a place for sev eral new songs in which the chorus takes a lea-dins part in some brand new costumes. Madge Carreg and Dorothy Raymond are given a chance to entertain the well-fllled houses with a.- well-sung song apiece. This bill lasts all week and tonight und Friday night the Rosebuds of the chorus will have a time all their own at the end of each performance. Orphenm. MARIE M'FARLAND, billed as the American Melba, and verifying it, John Hazzard, monologist, and Billy Gould with Belle Ashlyn, are the three biggest numbers on the new Orpheum bill. According to Martin Beck, Mr. Gould and Miss Ashlyn are the top liners, but they divide popularity with the two other offerings. Mr. Gould is the nimble-toed dancer who comes an . nually with new songs and stories. Miss Ashlyn Is the hit In the act, her "Imitations," and clever bits of "busi ness" are apparently spontaneous. Her gowns are extremely smart. Miss Mc Karland has a glorious voice, clear and flute-like. She uses it with musicianly understanding. Madame Question Mark assists in the act and resembles Miss McF&rland In physique and features. She hides a pair of lively eyes under a little black mask, and It gives a note of the mysterious to the offering. To gether, and singly, they sing. Miss Mc Farlanu's two solo numbers were the "Berceuse" of Jocelyn and "My .Hero," Madame, 'Whose voice is somewhat fuller and richer though not so fluto Uka as Mlsa ilcFarland'o, sans "X Gar- den of Love." Storms of applause brought them back to sing "The Bar carolle" from "Tales of Hoffman." John E. Hazzard has. absolutely not one old story. And not one you've read in the funny man's corner of the paper. He has a way of telling them that catches. Also he tells just exactly the right number to make, the act linger pleasantly In the memory. Hymen Meyer is a smiling, happy individual who plays .the piano and warbles. Grand opera interpretation as Meyer sees it is humorous, but his best bet Is of the hen hidden in the piano. He hypnotizes Biddie and teaches her to sing. It's a scream! Austin Webb, a former Baker leading man, appears In a dramatic patriotic sketch written by Wlllard Mack, also a former Baker leading man. Its title, "Your Flag and Mine," suggests its nature. Mr. Webb has a role that fits him and plays It well. Dupree and Dupree. a man and a maid, open the act with a sensational bicycle act that is "way above the aver age In display of skill and daring. The two Carltons close the entertain ment. They are "phlegmatic gymnasts" SOX OF" PORTLAD COTTPL.E WEDS PHIL.AUBL.PinA 51 U- SICIAA IN CHICAGO. t . Harold Germanus. Mr. and Mrs. David Germanus, of 667 Hoyt street, announce the marriage of their son, Harold, to Miss Violet Anna Bernstein, a music teacher of Philadelphia, which took place October 22 at the residence of Rabbi Emanuel Hirsh In Chicago. Mr. Geripanus is well known in Portland, and formerly was a high school student of .this city and later attended the University of Oregon. He left here several months ago on the Orpheum cir cuit, and is. traveling under the name of liarrv J. Parker. Thn f company is known as the "Five I Melody Girls With Harry J. Parker." a........................ and go through a series of marvelous feats while sauntering idly about. Their act made an Instantaneous hit. . Empress. SO MANY good; things are contained in the Empress bill this week that It is impossible to tell just which is the best. Never before have so many superb attractions been presented at one time at the popular Broadway the ater. There Is Inspiration and patriotism. and some pathos, too, in the act of the Old Veteran Boys in Blue." The men who fiddle and dance "the turkey trot as they did 50 years ago" and sing the good old melodies are: William A. Ry der, One Hundred and Forty-third New York Infantry; S. S. Grant, One Hun dred and Ninth New York Infantry; Captain F. E. Turner, First Connecticut Cavalry, and Charles Barret, Ninety seventh New York Infantry. Captain Turner plays "Listen to the Mocking Bird" effectively and the others all have clever specialties. "Dixie" is not forgotten, and the tunes of 50 years ago are concluded by the showing of "Old Glory," while the Star-Spangled banner Is given with the entire audi ence standing. "Behind the Footlights Is a sketch well acted and with lots of laugh and a rattling good plot. Pauline Emerson taaes tne part oi tne woman ana is clever In her interpretation. The mys teries of the theater behind the scenes are interestingly depicted. Beautifully staged, "The Idyll of Ven. ice" is a gem that will appeal to the lovers of art and music. The Fran conia Opera Company's soloists are heard in operatic selections. All of the troupe are exceptionally good singers. Orville and Frank, father and son. do some aerial and balancing feats that are new and startling. 'James ICelso and Blanche Lelghton in "Here and There in Vaudeville," are mirth-makers, introducing original novelties. Ross and Ashton,- "The Surveyors," have some good songs ("The River Shan non," for instance) and some funny stunts. Added to all these are wonderfully attractive movies and splendid music. Could one imagine a better vaudeville show? Pantages. ARE words of any use?" "None whatever," Is the answer, hav ing seen a certain three-act pantomime playlet at the Pantages. Just why the piece should be called "The Apple of Paris" is hard to conceive, and from the rise to the fall of the curtain no one speaks a word of enlightenment. In stead of words, there is expressive music and swift, vivid action. Pierrot and Pierrette Columbine, some call her traditional figures of French comedy, with Odette, an adven turess who flirts with Pierrot, are the principal figures. Pierrette objects The two women fight a duel. Pierrot rushes between them and receives a mortal wound. Mile. Mini Amato 13 Odette, the madcap beauty, who makes the trouble. Mile. P. Ines is Pierette, and Pierrot Is played by Slgnor Aurelio uoccia, the author. Marion Munson, in her sketch with Hal Forrest, "The Kidnaping of Bianca," gives an exhibition of quick costume changes that is bewildering to the verge of uncannlness. A ruddy-cheeked San Francisco kid named Baker pleases the audience with his imitation of a "movie" pianist and the music made thereby, and his part ner, a lad- named Belzac, does things clever and melodious on his violin. Frances LeMaire furnishes some thing new and dazzling with her elec trical unicycle skates, and Josephine Barda, as an anoient Irish harper,- plays the melodies of the old sod very pleas ingly. Laurie Ordray, the English Come dienne, is one of the hits of a bill that is encored from top to bottom. Her merriment is as irresistible as a Sneeze. Baltimore Xames Directors. BALTIMORE, Nov. IT.

FEBRUARY CHARTER MADE Portland, Recently Converted Into Tank Steamer for Coast Trade, Leaves for Colombia River to Take On Grain In Balk. Dodwell & Company are to send the British steamer Messina, now at San Diego, here to load 4500 tons of wheat for Oriental ports. The Messina is under charter to the Dodwell interests and arrived at San Diego November 10 from Kusblro. She is of 2757 tons net register. Itwas in tended to dispatch the vessel from Puget Sound with a full load,, but after loading wheat here she will go north to finish. ' Another feature of the charter mar ket yesterday was the report of a sail ing vessel being fixed for February loading at 30 shillings, which is the lowest figure quoted for windjammers since early last season. Vessels head ing In this direction may be taken at lower figures then, exporters say. The cargo of the German bark Schurbek, which left the Columbia November 8, was reported sold. A move that provides for increase! wheat shipments coastwise was the de parture from Los Angeles for this city yesterday of the steamer Portland, owned by the Globe Milling & Elevator Company, which has been converted at a cost of over $40,000 into a tank steamer for carrying cereals. The new elevator of the Globe interests has been finished on the East Side, where the approach of the old Harrlman bridge rested, and in the future grain will be shipped from there to Califor nia in bulk. The Portland was sent to the yard of the Craig Shipbuilding Company in August to have alterations made. Part of - the plan was to shift her bridge from the forescastle, aft. like other coasters used on the Pacific ANDALUSIA CpMES DEC. 13 Weekly Report on Royal Mall Liners Is Issued. Most recent advices covering the movements of the Hamburg-American liner Andalusia are that she will reach Portland December 13, though she has been scheduled to appear three- days later.

' Captain Ahlin, of the steamer Ca ino, who is a warm-hearted Elk and has strong friends in other orders, puz zled his head to locate two new lodges the other day leaving San Francisco, because on the list of passengers were high signs" he was not familiar with. one being "R. N." and the' other "N. F." Having seen men aitix tneir signa tures on hotel registers and the like followed by the number and name of their lodges, he felt sure the Initials designated a new fraternity. . But he was compelled to discard that theory because he knew all names were en tered oh the list by the agent, and the passengers had no knowledge of his compilation. He since learned that "R. N." stands for "rough neck" and -Is the agent's method of indicating how he had sized up a traveler, while "N. F." means "nice fellow," one who can safe ly be paired off with others of like ap pearance and demeanor. Portland ticket men declare they have not found it necessary to adopt the new code. SAX FRANCISCO GETS TRADE Shipments Sent Here for Rail Points In Oregon and Washington. Arriving on the steamer Camlno from San Francisco yesterday morning were 500 tons of cargo, mostly consigned to rail points reached via Portland, and virtually all of it was merchandise. Wholesalers of the Golden Gate district are said to ship large amounts of goods here by water that are destined for Columbia River basin territory, and thereby cut into trade that could be accommodated from Portland houses. The Camlno sails at 2:30 o'clock Fri day afternoon from Albers dock, in stead of at 4 o'clock. Captain Ahlin says there is a demand from passen gers to see Columbia River scenery and while that Is one reason for advancing the sailing hour, it also will facilitate the navigation of the ship in daylight toward Astoria. NEW WAITING-ROOM PLANNED San Francisco & Portland Line Pre pares for Winter Guests. Ainsworth dock is to have a new waiting-room and plans are under way to .begin work soon, so that passen gers waiting for steamers. may be com fortably housed this Winter. Travel has increased to such an extent and so many passengers reach the dock in ad vance of the hour for permitting them aboard that the present facilities are Inadequate. The waiting-room is to be located in the southeast corner of the upper dock. Separate ticket booths already have been provided tor iirst-ciass and steer age passengers on the dock and soon double gangplanks will be in service, as the single ones hamper the loading and landing of passengers. LAST JAP LEAVES OROTAVA Ship Loses 11 Men Since Arriving Here From Yokohama. One lone little brown man who re mained aboard the German bark Oro tava at Linnton. when 10 other Japan ese sailors took French leave Saturday morning, decamped yesterday morning. fooling the watchman and ship's offl oers. The crowd was signed at Yoko hama, The 11th subject of the Mikado had assured the skipper that his allegiance for the ship could be depended on, and smlrkinarly told of how little trouble he would elvo on that score. Aa he. and one European slept in the fore castle, it was not deemed necessary to lock them in nor for the watchman to station himself at the door. So when noses were counted yesterday the Nip ponese was reported absent.- Aa with the others, a reward of $25 is promised for the return of each runaway. ASPLUSD ' S PENALTY REDUCED Captain Bulger Rules to Suspend Merced's Master Nine Months. Captain Bulger, supervising inspector of steam vessels of the First District, has reduced the sentence of Captain A. F. Asplund, master of the steam schooner Merced, imposed as a result of the vessel being wrecked on the rocks at Point Gorda, October 15. Cap tain Asplund's license under the new ruling will be suspended for nine months, instead of one year, as the San Francisco Inspectors fixed the penalty. Captain Bulger gave as his reason for lessening the punishment that Cap tain Asplund has been a master for 25 years and had never been in trouble before and that he pleaded guilty to negligence in not casting the lead, when his vessel was bound up the Coast in a fog. The supervising in spector says in his decision that ves sels are not lost on Point Gorda through lack of aids to navigation, but be cause masters often hug the land too close In fair weather and fail to use the lead or haul off shore when fog closes down. The Merced belonged to the McCor mlck fleet, operating from here, and was built less than a year ago at a cost of $154,000.
