PANTAGES BILL PLEASES
TRUTH "COMPELLING PLAY" OF
. ALL-STAR ENTERTAINMENT.
Other Act With Sense and Nonsense
Declared to Complete One of Best
Offerings of Present Season.
Whoever planned the Rose Festival
entertainment at Pantages chose wisely
and well. There's not a number that
doesn't strike 12. "Truth," which is a
demonstration of social economics and
a splendid argument for every side of
the big subject, headlines the bill.
"Truth" is based on Pope's lines
Vice is a monster of such frightful mien.
That to be hated needs but to be seen;
But seen too oft' familiar with her face
we xirst endure, then pity then embrace.
Its story is based on news accounts
of the vice commission in the State of
Illinois. A long array of exceptional
talent is displayed in the actors who
have the roles. The scene shows, first,
the corridor leading to the commission
chamber, where a half dozen women
who had been arrested in a raid on a
dive had come to testify before the
commission concerning their lives and
the whys and wherefores. A represen
tative of organized labor is on the com
mittee and gives excellent argument for
his side of the case as laid in contrast
with the side of the employer, which
side, too, is represented in able speech.
The girls tell sordid stories and into
each one creeps the longing for a
reformation.
An act that almost stopped the show
yesterday was Bob Finlay's nonsensi
cal songs and stories with the two
slim, dainty Tates girls helping out.
They have a ballad about a kiss that
touches everyone's funny bone. The
two girls are graceful dancers and wear
smart toggery.
Clayton and Lennle are a couple of
merry nuts. Clayton Just wears a
Sunny Jim smile, dispenses personality
and beats the pie out of Lennie, who
makes up as an unusually stupid Eng
lish chap. Their rendition of the "Green
Grass Growing All "Round" brought
down the house.
A truly wonderful acrobatic act is
offered by the Five Gargonis. two
pretty, lithe little girls, a wee lad who
handsprings like a pinwheel and two
big Gargonis. They make human
ladders four people high out of them
selves and amaze by their fearlessness.
Opening the bill is the best cycling
turn of years. The two brunettes offer
It, Brunette being the name, not the
color.

"VACATION TRIP," HE SAYS
Understanding Is That Proposed Lec

Xow Does Not Say This.
SALEM, Or, June 8. (Special.)
Announcing that he had promised, to
make several addresses in Eastern and
Middle Western states on prison re
form, and deliver a Fourth of .July
oration in West Virginia, Governor
West said tonight that he would leave
here next Monday to fill the engage
ments. He said further that he would
visit numerous penal and other elee
mosynary institutions while away,
with a view to improving conditions at
the Oregon State Institutions.
While admitting that he would spend
several days in Washington, D. C the
Governor denied - that he would go
there seeking an appointment under
the Democratic ' Administration. He
declared his mission there would be
solely In the Interest of state matters
pending before state departments.
There are rumors, however, that the
Governor would like to be chairman of
the Alaskan Railway Commission,
which will carry with it a salary of
about $10,000. When asked today if
he expected that appointment. Mr.
West replied: "There is nothing in
that." In telling of his proposed trip
he said:
Vacation, Says Governor.
"1 am simply going to take a vaca
tion. I have not had one for a long
time, and when I have been away
from Salem I have been Just as busy
as one could be. Other officials around
here take a month off for a vacation
and it is about time I was taking a
rest. I have .promised to make several
speeches on prison reform, and I shall
make a Fourth of July address in West
Virginia. My object in visiting the
penal and other eleemosynary institu
tions Is to obtain ideas for adoption
here. For Instance, we have had plenty of
work for the prisoners at the peniten
tiary on the roads and state farms and
making Improvements at the institu
tions. However, with the exception of
the roads everything has been pretty
well taken care of, and it is now nec
essary to think of some indoor work
for-the convicts. We have a variety
of industries in which products may
be manufactured for state use and at
the same time not have the prisoners
compete with free labor. It is my inten
tion to see what work Is being done by
the- prisoners- where I visit for the
benefit of the Board of Control in ex
tending the work at the penitentiary."
Chantanqnana to Hear Governor.
While Governor West did not say so.
it is understood that a number of his
addresses will be made at various East
ern Chautauquas. Announcement was
made some time ago that be Intended
to make Chautauqua speeches during
his vacation this Summer, but he has
never admitted that he had bookings
made for a Chautauqua circuit. He also
has not said whether he would be 'paid
for the speeches, but it is presumed
that he will receive sufficient financial
return at least to pay the expenses of
his trip, as was the case several months
ago when he delivered an address in
New Tork City on prison reform.

Europe, he states, will be half what it
is at present. Apples can be shipped
to Germany for 60 cents a box and be
sold there as cheaply as in New York.
Mr. Sampson bases these statements
upon a series of conferences with the
managers of principal Eastern steam
ship companies. He states that he has
been working 18 months and has trav
