well-known author and composer.
Knoeboddie Noes d'Ahnsur," read the
outside of the programmes for the first
annual frolic given by the Washington
High School Glee Club last night in
the school auditorium.
From the first number to the last,
the playlet was a scream. The bed
time story of the "Babes In the Woods"
was completely overshadowed by this
burlesque.
Carrol Day and Joseph Kelley were
the "two mamaless and papaless or
phiends," Sally and Tommy Doyle.
They played the parts wonderfully
well and their makeups were immense.
Jamen Teed Cruel "Guardeen."
"Harden Dart, "their cruel guardeen
and uncle," was acted by James Teed,
an ideal character for the part.
The parts of Otto Eeet, Patrick Hog
genheimer and Noah Tall, "three of
their beloved schoolmates." were taken
by Will Bradley, John Clemenson and
I'aul Mortimer. Especially clever of
this trio was Paul Mortimer in the part
of Noah Tall. His height was advan
tageous in the role.
The part of Everett Wrest, "the sol
dier of fortune," was taken by Merle
Moore and that of Knott Wright, "hire
ling of the villyan." by Russell Bal
lard. Ben Titus was great in the role of
Tim D'Artagnan, "sergeant of the
Portland Musketeers."
The feature of the performance was,
trie Dallet danotng of the sprites.

Brook and Leafy Bower. . The nymphs
were Clarence Moulton. Gerald Ryan,
Melville Pugh and Harold Morrow.
Charles Wells, as Professor Lott
O'Nollege, the schoolmaster, madtf a
big hit.
A big surprise was sprung when a
large group of girls in the balcony
arose and sang the policemen's chorus
from the "Pirates of Penzance." Their
chorus received prolonged applause and
added much to the attractiveness and
&prightliness of the cantata.
The 25 men members of the Multno
mah Club who gave the original per
formance in 1893 were there in a body
and encored the young actors time
after time. Will F. Lipman was one
of the rlngleaderar He had taken one
of the leading parts in the play as it
was given 21 years ago.

One Hundred Years Pass
Since McTavish' Death.
Mar 23 In AnLrrrurr of Drowning
of Ftnoa Old Governor of Fort
Oeorgre In Columbia Few Month
After He Taken Office.
ASTORIA. Or., May 22. (Special.)
One hundred years ago today Don
ald McTavish. the first white man of
note to meet death in, the Columbia
River, lost his life. On May 22, 1S14,
McTavish, then Governor of Fort
George, and five boatmen were, drowned
while trying to reach Gray's Bay in
a small boat.
In February, 1814, Donald McTavish
arrived at Fort George, which, was lo
cated at the site of the present City
of Astoria, on 'the British ship Isaac
Todd on business for the Canadian
Northwest Fur Company. He was elect
ed Governor of the colony and re
mained here when the ship sailed1 for
California. In the following May the
Isaac Todd re-entered the Columbia
River, but Jnatead of landing at the
fort went to the north side of the river
and dropped anchor in Gray's Bay.
On Sunday, May 22, McTavish, with
a party of six, started in a small boat
to go to the ship a-nd obtain reports
and supplies. At a point about half
way across the Columbia, the boat was
capsized by the heavy seas and Mc
Tavish and five of his men found a
watery grave. Two days later the
body of McTavish was found on the
beach near North Head. . "
The burial .service in Astoria was
read by Captain Robson, the coffin
lowered into the ground, a, railing
erected around the grave and a stone
placed at its head. This stone, or mon
ument, has been preserved and is now
erected at the corner of -the Astoria
City Hall.
Several years later a contractor, in
clearing for the erection of a house,
came across the McTavish grave and
the matter was brought to public no
tice. The remains-were moved to the
old cemetery on the hillside and the
stone placed there. A little later the
stone appeared on display In Portland.
It was secured by Astorlans and erect
ed in its present location within 20
feet of its original position.
The monument is a flat stone, rudely
carved, and carries the following in
scription: "In Memory of Donald Mc
Tavish, Esq. Aged 42 years. Drown'd
Crossing This River May 22, 1814."

FER PRODUCE TODAY.
PureUasera Crowd Mart During- Morn
ing, and Everything Brought In Is
Sold Out In Two Hours.
With prices gradually adjusting them
selves and patronage rapidly increas-
ng, both producer and consumer have
come to realize this week the benefit
of the public market on Yamhill street,
between Third and Fifth streets. Both
producers and consumers believe the
market will be permanent and will be
enlarged from time to time.
Every booth in the market was taken
yesterday. The market was crowded
foa several hours with purchasers who
bought all produce before noon. Prices
were noticeably lower than In the ma
jority of regular stores. In great abund
ance on the market were such products
as strawberries, gooseberries, potatoes,
lettuce, radishes, onions. pieplant,'
chickens and farm-made bakery goods,
canned fruits and' jellies and other
products.
O. C. Renne, a farmer of Gresham,
said he brought in 18 crates of straw
berries in the morning and sold them
all between 8:30 and 10:E0.
Mrs. H. E. Hideout, of Tigard, ex
pressed great satisfaction over - her
ability to dispose of home-made pastry.
candy and jellies.
H. H. Johnson, who has a farm near
Montavllla, says the market is getting
Detter every day. v
It Is expected the market will be
crowded with produce today, many
farmers having notified the market
board that they will be in with great
loads of stuff. The booths will be open
from 5 o clock this morning until 9
o'clock, tonight.
The city will start Monday on the
construction of booths on the north
side of the block between Fourth and
Fifth streets, appropriation for which
was made by the Council Wednesday.
This will double the size of the market.
Teachers and pupils of the Lents.
Woodmere and Arleta schools will visit
the market today.
ALBIXA MARKET PERMANENT
Harder to Stop' Than Start It Says
Washington farmer.
'It would, be harder to stop th'e Al-
bina public market now than It was
to open it," said L. T. Smith, master of
a Grange in Clarke County. Washing
ton, to M. IT. Calef, secretary of the
Albina Business Men s Club.
Today the market will open on Knott
street, as usual, it being the third
Saturday. Wednesday. the midweek
market day, proved successful. A. H.
Averill and other prominent men visit
ed the street that morning and ex
pressed themselves as surprised at the
amount of produce sold. Two-thirds
of the produce brought to the Albina
market is brought from Clarke County,
Washington, while the rest comes from
Columbia Slough and Mount Scott dis
tricts. The club will undertake to find
a plaeewhere sheds may be built for

BURNING OF Y. M. C. A. LAUNCH BRINGS GLOOM TO YOUNG
STERS OF" ASSOCIATION.
JO. -mmm
BOAT THAT WAS DESTROYED
HOPE MAY BE REPLACED.
Deep gloom settled over the boys' department of the Toung jfen's
Christian Association yesterday when it was learned that the Y.
M. C A. launch had been destroyed by fire the night before. The
launch had been used exclusively by the boys' department, groups
going out every afternoon and evening during pleasant weather. It
will be a severe loss to the junior division. The association ecre-N
tarles have hopes some friend will donate another boat. The launch
was presented to the Y. M. C. A. several years ago by M. B. Rankin.
Probably no other piece of equipment has been so valuable to the
work. The favorite meeting places of the Bible clubs In the Summer
are at Ross Island and along the river, the launch being used to
carry the boys to and from the city. Several thousand boys have
enjoyed the small vessel during the years it has been in use.
J. C Meehan. boys' secretary, who was burned when the launch was
destroyed Wednesday night. Is not seriously hurt and expects to be
at his desk within a few days. -

KOSEBURG. Or.. May 22. (Special.)
Among the important visitors in
Roseburg today, the representative of
the Portland Commercial Club, Kalph
Hoyt, has proved most welcome; He
came with a message of greeting and
good TvUi rrom his home city and an
Invitation for the Roseburgers to come
to the Rose Festival in Portland next
month. Mr. Hoyt was cordially received
by the managers of the Strawberry Car
nival, as well as by the leading citi
zens, for Mr. Hoyt Is well known and
has a host of friends here.
R. L. Strahorn and Mrs. Strahorn. of
Portland, also arrived this morning,
and it can be said without any fear
of contradiction that they are about
the "welcomest" visitors the city has
entertained for a decade. Mr. Stra
horn's connection with the Southern
Pacific's electric roads and his well
known record as a master man of si
lence and accomplishment, are well
known here, -and. Just now. when there
are railway rumblings in the air, and
he comes here to remain several days
to look sver the surrounding country
well, he must have had an object in
coming. The Roseburg people believe
that object has something, to do with
connecting Roseburg with the present
Southern Pacific electrical system.
Mrs. Strahorn Recalls Past.
Mrs. Strahorn related how she and
her husband had not visited Roseburs
since December, 1880. This was then
the southern terminus of the Oregon &
California, now under lease by the
Southern Pacific- They came here at
that time expecting to take the stage
for Redding. C&l., and then to proceed
to California. Redding is distant about
250 miles. Learning that the roads
were practically impassable, they re
turned to Portland.
"And that." smilingly continued Mrs.
Strahorn, "wis the only time, before or
since, that we ever turned back, after
starting to do anything of importance."
Those who know the record o. Mr.
Strahorn and are acquainted with Mrs.
Strahorn will believe, that her state
ment is true.
It is raining this afternoon, has
rained more or less since noon, and last
evening there was a regular downpour.
but how welcome comes this wetness
to the whole country hereabouts, which
needed moisture. Indeed. It can be said
safely that all of the farmers and many
of the citizens are perfectly willing to
put up with any inconvenience caused
by the dampness, knowing the great
good it will do this entire section.
Children In Parade Delight.
During the parade hour this morn-
ing the sun shone brightly and the air
was delightful. And the panade! It
was worth going more than a day's
journey to see the long line of school
children. One will go a long way to
see such a display of promising boys
and girls, sweet girls and manly boys.
as marched through the Roseburg
streets today.
Mrs. Strahorn was the guest of honor
at an elaborate reception given by the
ladies' auxiliary at the Roseburg Com
mercial Club today.
Air. Strahorn passed the day In an
automobile In the country districts. He
said no significance could be attached
to his present visit here, it being
purely of a social nature.

VETERAN OF LATE WAR
GIVES AN INTERVIEW
Soldier . of the Philippines Tells in
Pew Words What He Thinks
of Plant Juice.
The following interview with Mr. I".
H. Greenia, who lives at 313 Four
teenth street. In this city, will bo of
interest to many. Sir. Greenia saw
service in the Philippine Islands In the
Spanish-American War as a soldier In
both the Volunteer and Regular Army,
and was later a Lieutenant in the
Philippine Constabulary. Our soldiers
suffered greatly from the climatic con
ditions on the island, many of them
being entirely broken down In health.
Mr. Greenia said:
"After spending nearly nine years in
the Philippines I returned to God's
country a physical and almost a mental
wreck as a result of malarial fever,
rheumatism and habitual constipation
contracted while in. the Government
service. I have been taking Plant Juice
some time now and it has cured my
constipation, driven the malaria from
my system, and seems to have en
riched and strengthened my blood. I
feel sure a few more bottles will rid
me entirely of the little rheumatism
left. Plant Juice has toned up my en
tire system until I feel like a -different
person."
If you suffer from Indigestion, ga?.
bloating, a feeling of weight after eat
ing, no appetite, sour stomach, coated
tongue, a sluggish liver, constipation,
malaria, impoverished blood, pains
across the back or in the joints, if you

mornings with a soreness of the mus
cles, you will find that Plant Juice
will do you more good than anything
you have ever tried. For sale at The
