Wt live and learn," quavers the very old, very tired voice of the very stooped, wornout little old man who nods beside the fireplace and beams fondly through love-dimmed eyes at the very old, very sweet little old lady who sits half-hidden In an armchair across from him. The curtain is just descending on the last act of "Milestones," and to en hance the perfect beauty of the scene the hauntingly lovely strains of "Juanita" played by withered fingers gliding over the keys of a spinnet and a sweet, quavering voice singing the old refrain, steal out across to us from an inner chamber where lives the ghost of a beautiful soul. Youth and Old Axe Depicted. An exquisite epic of Youth and Old Age Is "Milestones." It sunk deep into the hearts of the audience that at tended its opening here at the Heilig last night, an audience that responded quickly to the tender charm of the story "Milestones" had to tell and lin gered captive to its kindly humor, genial satire and touching pathos. Its story is summed up in the clos ing words of its oldest character, John Rhead. It is a fragrant and brilliant "living and learning." a glorious, courageous, intensely interesting read ing from the book of life. Quaint Humor Pleases. A splendid piece of literature is "Milestones," brilliant in conception and artistically flawless. The play Is an historical gem and holds interest in this feature quite as much as in Its artistic and dramatic values. All of the three scenes take place In the same room, a drawing room in the old home of the Rheads in Kensington Gore. The first scene is In I860, the second In 1885 and the third in 1912. Three of tha characters are carried along by the same players through buoyant youth, reflective maturity and old age. Three Generations Included. The story tells of the life of two families, the Rheads and the SIbleys, through three generations. John Rhead, a shipbuilder, who will go in for build ing ships of Iron instead of wood, de fies his own family, dissolves partner ship with the generation-old firm of Rhead & Sibley, and risks losing even his fiancee, Rose Sibley, for the cour age of his business convictions. Because of the quarrel his sister, Gertrude, breaks her betrothal to Sam Bibley. Twenty-five years pass and the same John Rhead, married to Rose, prosper ous and on the eve of realizing his dream of becoming a Baronet, opposes a proposition to build n ships of steel rather than of iron, a project put forth by his daughter Emily's fiance, a bril liant young engineer. Rhead steps be tween Emily and her choice and forces her to marry a peer old enough to be her father. In this generation it is the beautiful material devotion of Gertrude, the unmarried aunt of the girl that stands out In gem-like radiance. An other generation passes and the ship builder, now a Baronet and in his 77th year, observes his golden wedding day with Rose, his sweet little- lavender and lace old wife. Another Engagement Broken. Again an engagement is to be broken, that of Emily's young daughter and tier distant cousin Richard. This time the old man's efforts are frustrated by his wife who later pleads submis sively and sweetly to "be forgiven for defying his wishes for the first time in 50 years." Emily, now a widow, meets again her old suitor, now a labor leader in Parliament, and the affairs ' of the home are wound up in the words of the old man: "We live and learn.' A cast of noteworthy merit has been sent to us with this Arnold Bennett Edward Knoblauch play. It is splen didly enacted throughout. The actors bring to the roles all dignity and sin cerity. "Milestones" will remain at the Heilig all week, with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday, IDAHO REPUBLICANS AHEAD Late Returns Give Party Control of Xeact Legislature. BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 7. The Re publicans will control the next Legis latude of this state, according to re turns complete from the 83 counties, having elected 19 Senators and S3 Rep resentatives. To control the Senate 17 Senators are needed and to control the House 81 Representatives. The Republicans have both. The Democrats elected 11 (Senators and 26 Representatives, the Progressives 2 Senators and 1 Repre sentative and the Socialists 1 Senator. On strictly party issues the Repub tlcans will have no trouble in the Leg islature. Their main worry will be with the new, Governor, who is a Demo erat. Likewise he will be handicapped In putting through his policies with a Republican Legislature. Senator John Hart, now of Jeffer son County, formerly of Fremont County, president protem and "whip" or the benate, was re-elected. Other Senators sent back include E. II. Pug- mire. or Jtsear Lake County; Nathan Kicks, of Madison County; Ravenel Macbeth, of Custer County and B. S. Sweet, of Idaho County. Ex-Represen tatives elected to the Senate include E. E.

IS QUAKES ATTRIBUTED TO ACTIVITY OF VESUVIUS. Rock Slide In Quarry Near San Fru clsco, Laid to Temblor, Said to Bave Burled Two Men. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8. A week of exceptionally warm, clear weather was followed here tonight by an almost imperceptible earthquake. Open doors in downtown buildings swung slightly. The disturbance was felt by the trans-bay region, including Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley, and at San Jose, 50 miles down the peninsula. No dam age was reported. According to Professor Charles Burckhaller, In charge of the Chapot Observatory of the University of Cali fornia, at Berkeley, the disturbance was local in character and was what is known as a "number four" earthquake, which is a minor one. An unconfirmed report from Rock away Beach, about ten miles southwest from San Francisco, says that two Greek laborers in a stone quarry there were buried by a rock slide caused by the disturbance and killed. It was re ported also that the adjacent rock crushing plant toppled over. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 8. A slow, trembling earthquake shock rattled houses and windows here at about 3:40 P. M. today. It caused several persons to telephone the police that their safes had been blown. Many persons living in lightly-constructed bungalows described the vi bration as rolling and of sufficient force to cause closed doors to spring open and nicely balanced objects to topple over. N SAN JOSE, Cal., Nov. 8. Splendid records of tonight's temblor were ob tained on both double horizontal and vertical seismographs at the University of Santa Clara observatory, beginning at 6:31:09 and continuing nine minutes, diminishing gradually. The maximum amplitude was nearly ten centimeters and the period eight-tenths of a sec ond. The undulations, however, were not severe. The opicenter was local, as there were no primary tremors found on any of the records. Rev. J. S. Rick ard, director of the observatory, said. tonight: "It is almost a general rule that when volcanoes are in erupton earth quakes are felt at points on the earth'i surface diametrically opposite the cen ter of disturbance. It is quite possible that the recent activity of Vesuvius was responsible for the temblor here tonight." GERMAN LOSSES 57,800 Hospital Records Show Wounded Go Back to Firing Line. BERLIN, via The Hague and London, Nov. 8. The German casualty list is sued yesterday brought the total num ber of names contained In last week's report up to about 67,800. Hospital records show that a large proportion of the wounded have returned to duty. The last casualty list records the killing of three German aviators and the wounding of six others by hostile airmen. Those who lost their lives were Aviator Bowles, who was killed at St. Erne, France, on October 12, and Lieutenants Von Kleyst and Menzel, who had been listed as missing since their flight to Amiens on October S. r-i'f iff. f , & m KITCHENER COUNTS ON THREE-YEAR WAR Uneasy Nation Nags Con stantly at Mr. Churchill as Struggle Waxes. ALIEN RESIDENTS HARRIED Even Conan . Doyle's Appeal for Those Former Aliens Who Are Fathers of English Boys at Front Fails to Soften. Views. (Continued From Flrat Page.) will eventually and effectively meet the emergency. Kitchener's army is tens of thousands nearer the desired million mark than It was a week ago. Old soldiers up to 48 are now taken the limit used to be 45 and recruits for the ranks, fine. strapping fellows most of them, are enlisting in throngs daily. Ireland Is turning up its full quota. thanks to John Redmond's untiring ef forts on the stump. An Irish brigade. consisting of four or five regiments of native-born sons of Erin, will soon be in the field. Lloyd George's constitu ents In Wales, if it can be arranged, are to be formed into a Welsh con tingent. The Scotch, with their famous High lander commands, have long been units of their own. The Camerons and the Gordons and the Seaforths have already covered themselves with glory In France and Belgium. London Pessimists More Cheerful. Darkest London I speak advisedly In these days and nights of Zeppellnopho bia is cheerier than it was a week ago, following the fall of Antwerp, the torpedoing of another cruiser by one of the Kaiser's pestiferous submarines and the Germans' seemingly irresistible advances along the channel coast of Belgium. Since tnen four German de stroyers, in a gallant action off the Dutch coast, have been sent to Davy Jones' locker and the German march toward Kunkirk and Calais has been checked. But over against this eminently sat isfactory news is the amazing activity of the cruiser-privateer Emden In the Indian Ocean and of Its dauntless sis ter raider, the Karlsruhe, in the Atlan tic. Between them these two German vessels have accounted, since the war began, for nearly 200,000 tons of Brit ish merchant shipping. That is a to tal designed to cause the mistress of the seas to gasp and then think. Britons Demand Kaval Action. Englishmen are beginning to ask. in accents of some impatience, if Britan nia's rule of the waves is a fact or merely a stanza in a patriotic song. They are commencing to inquire quer ulously what "naval supremacy means. They want to know how It Is that Ger many possesses cruisers so fast that there is nothing flying the white en sign which can nab them. If Admiral Jellicoe has no ships speedy enough to track the Emden and the Karlsruhe down. Englishmen da mand to be informed of the reason. It is not a comforting thought that Ger many seems able to continue her dep redations against British commerce without let or hindrance. There is abiding confidence in the capacity of Jellicoe to "bash Van In genohl if the German ever ventures out of the Kiel Canal or from behind the sheltering walls of Helgoland with the real fighting force of the Kaiser's fleet. Respect Felt for German Raiders. Meantime there is a growing and un questionably fearsome respect here abouts for the achievements of German ships which are at large. German mer chantment, of course, have been driven from all the seas by the English navy Englishmen anticipated that would happen. They say it was the least they could expect from' their vastly superior fleet. But they say they are) without convincing and satisfactory explana tions why the "inferior" and "bottled up' 'enemy should find it possible to in flict damage at will upon any British merchantmen abroad. Nobody doubts Winston Churchill's patriotism, zeal and cleverness. But un til the Emden and the Karlsruhe are sunk, captured or put out ot action. he will have a disappointed and somewhat uneasy England nagging at him. Hunting down Germans and Aus trians, potential spies, has become the national sport of England, now that golf is taboo for all genuine patriots. The crusade against the "alien enemy In our midst" became universal this week. All-embracing raids have been carried out everywhere. The east and south coasts have been declared prohibited areas for Germans and Austrians and any of them who venture into those regions will Incur the risk of summary punishment. "Alien Enemies" Pursued. In London Itself the Germans have been driven relentlessly from the! long-time habitats, by which is meant hotels, restaurants, cafes and barber shops. Thousands have been gumma rily dismissed from places they occu pied. In some cases for many years It is admitted that hardships are lm posed on many really innocent per- sons; but the government feels It 1 far better these should suffer than that England should be imperiled. Hundreds of Germans and Austrians have been arrested and distributed among the various concentration camps, there to remain as prisoners of war as long as hostilities last. Th "city" of London has long been full of German business men Importers, stock brokers, bank clerks and th like. Scores of them are among those rounded up by Scotland Yard since th crusade against alien enemies set in. Most ot one s old-time favorites a popular places like the Savoy grill room are gone. They were all Gar man. Herr Helm, who will be remem bered by American patrons as' the man ager of the Piccadilly Hotel, was dls charged this week and is now probably a prisoner of war. "Beefy." the old German who has served thousands of cocktails to American customers at the Savoy's "American bar," "sacked today. no exceptions are being made. Conan Doyle Urges Leniency. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has made a public appeal for leniency in case of German waiters who have lived Ion enough In England to marry Englls wives and raise families of Englls boys some of the latter now servin at the front but public opinion against the "alien enemy" has become so intense that it is doubtful if there will be Bentlment for anything but clean sweep. The German must go. That is the cry of the hour. I have been telling my English friends that German reprisals are in evitable. There are a good many Eng llshmen in the fatherland, and I think It quite likely they will suffer when Germany hears of the far-flung rami fications of the "alien enemy" busines over here. The theatrical business is grievousl affected by the war. Half a doze leading houses are closed down and few, if any, of those still open are playing to satisfactory receipts. Lau retta Taylor in "Peg o' My Heart" Is doing one of the best businesses in town, but the war threatens to stop things at the Comedy, where sha Is acting, as well as everywhere else. Two or three of the music halls are full every night, but audiences even there are indifferent, do not smile, laugh or applaud cheerfully, and wear generally funereal aspect. War, ob viously, does not produce an atmos phere in which people feel like seek ing amusement. It is coming home. In the shape of bereavement, to too many British homes. Society Ceases to Exist. Society, of course, has ceased to ex ist. Formal affairs have almost com pletely disappeared and a good many people are even forswearing evening dress on private occasions as one means of recognizing the terrible seri ousness of the national problem. The golf links are unprecedentedly deserted. Men, especially of military age, are afraid to be seen publicly SHERIFF CREDITS WOMEJf FOR HIS BIG VOTE. YV. A. Gallatly. CORVALLIS, Or., Nov. 8. (Spe cial.) W. A. Gallatly. re-elected Sheriff of Benton County last Tuesday, has held that office for the past three terms. This time he was re-elected by a majority larger than that received by any other candidate for county office. To the women he gives much credit for his big vote. with a bagr. of sticks slnng over their shoulders. A couple of them so capar isoned recently were insulted by women in the street, who demanded to know why they "were not at the front." It appears that the official language of the British navy is in danger of be- ng contaminated by the fact that Vice-Admiral Sir David Beatty, com manding off Heligoland, is married to the daughter of the late Marshall Field. This Is from yesterday's Dally Express, commenting on Admiral Beat ty'a latest dispatches: "GOT 'EM BEAT!" In Vlce-Admiral Sir David Beat- ty's admirable report of the naval ac tion, printed today, he makes use of the sentence: ' 'They appeared to have her beat.' "Sir David Beatty's wife comes from Chicago.' MRS. H. E. WHITNEY BURIED Early Resident of Monmouth Is Vic tim of Long Illness. MONMOUTH, Or., Nov. 8. (Special.) ' Mrs. Hattle E. Whitney died at her home November s, after long illness. She was the daughter of William H. and Margaret McFadden, and spent her early childhood eight miles southeast of Albany. She received her education at the Blind School of Salem. In 1879 she was married to William Whitney. After Mr. Whitney's death In 1888 she moved to Monmouth where she has lived for 26 years. She leaves two sisters, Mrs. M. J. Stout, of Monmouth, Mrs. Flora Uright, of Seattle, Wash., and two brothers, William H. and Samuel S. McFadden, of Portland.

WHAT do people read.' Miss Margaret MacLachlan, head of the circulation depart ment of the Central Library, knows better perhaps than anyone in Port land. And, she knows, too, that so far as she has been able to hold records, no one in Portland had ever read Dr. Charles Eliot's five-foot shelf of books from end to end. In these strenuous times of war the i reading public's fancy has turned and in October this year approximately 200 fewer fiction books were read than in October last year. On the other hand, poetry grew and prospered at the ex pense of prose romance, some 700 more books or verse going irom ine iiorary shelves last month than In the corre sponding month of 1913. Travel and history, as well as fine arts, were in favor but alas and alack! there were only 933 books on religion taken out in October this year, zo volumes less than In October. 1913. "First, the influence brought to bear on our borrowers must be considered,", said Miss MacLachlan. "All classes frequent the library from the humble reader who does not own a volume to the residents whose private libraries are almost complete. Foreigners call for books In their native tongue, and are supplied. Lectures Influence Demand. "When Dr. Chapman or Mrs. Parsons gives a lecture we are flooded with requests on the following day for books pertaining to tne suDject oi tne lecture. Motion pictures Interest peo ple in various books. If Henry Es mond is portrayed in pictures we are sure to nave a run on mai popular novel by Thackeray for the next few weeks. "Such classics as "Vanity Fair, "Da vid Copperfleld and 'Ivanhoe' are so much In demand that we nave an cop ies of them and still often run short. "If a person requests a book which is not on the shelf, we ask him to write out the request and then it is presented to the librarian and the book committee, consisting of Dr. Thomas L. Eliot, Miss Henrietta Fall ing, R. L. Sabln and Richard W. Mon tague. They make purchases with re gard to the book's popularity and per manent value to the library. "We do not reserve fiction, but if we are out of a literary book we take the name of the person who wants it and then notify them by mall when the book comes In, reserving the volume a reasonable amount of time. , Meetings Are Numerous. "There were 380,000 volumes circu lated from this one room last year. The library has a school department, reference, circulating, technical, peri 2 WET ORGIES LEFT This New Year's Eve and An other to Be Celebrated. RESERVATIONS ARE MADE Hotelmen Look Forward to Most Hi larious Times In History Before Prohibition Rules City Oust ing of Rum Hard Blow. Those who have no scruples against liauor. seeiner a dry Oregon staring them in the face, express considerable consolation In the fact that there will be two wet New Year's eves In Portland before the curtain is rung down on demon rum. An inkling of the hilarity to be un corked in Portland on the two prospec tive occasions is given in the fact that Portland's leading hotels are being flooded with grill reservations for the night of December 31, 1914, and many inquiries are even being made for reser vations for the night of December 31. 1915. when things are bound to close up with a bang. Noisy Times Expected. Offers of J100 already have been made for reservations. New Tear's eve never is a Quaker-like time in Port land, but celebrations of the past, hotel- men say, will be mild compared witn what may be expected this year-end and next. "There will be no stopping the bunch December 31. 1914, and December 81, 1915," said a prominent hotelman yes terday. "Should the - police start to make arrests they will not have Jails in town large enough to hold them. The devil will be out on those two final tears, and there is no telling yet how badly our furniture will suffer." Although the final closing hour Is nearly 14 months distant, hotelmen al ready are figuring on how to prepare for the radical change in management that prohibition will mean. How to make the hotel pay without "booze" is a problem, say hotelmen, considering that one hotel bar last year took In 26.000, two-thirds of which was profit. Perhaps the nrst enect will do me cutting down of lobby space and a strict enforcement of a rule to exclude loungers and "divan warmers," now so prevalent In the leading hotels. At present hotel lobbies are almost public institutions or social clearing-houses for the residents of the city. Lobby Spaces May Go. No hotel has been forced to place a ban on the entrance of non-patrons, even if they did give them worries. probably for the reason that transients spend money once In a while at tne hotel bar. But now the chance of making any returns on the "floaters" through that avenue is about to be re moved, the ax is apt to fall. Many of the large rooms now reserved by hotels as restrooms, writing-rooms and lob bies could be rented as stores at hand some rates, and this probably will be the outcome In at least some instances. Profits in the hotel restaurants will be practically nil without the sale of liqours, and it is predicted that many of the bouses win nave to ciose snop as a result or else charge higher tariffs for room rent. As a result of the closing of saloons one hotelman has said that he will adopt the nlckel-in-the-slot plan pro Dosed by Commissioner Brewster in connection with the administration of the public comfort stations. Many hotel lavatories are now almost monopolised by non-patrons at a considerable ex pense to the hotel owners, but after the enforcement of the prohibition law this nuisance will be all the more pro nounced. hotelmen predict, and the nlckel-in-the-slot arrangement will be their only protection unless numerous public comfort stations are erected. Cowlitz Teachers Gathering. CENTRAL! A, Wash.. Nov. 8. (Spe cial.) The annual Cowlitz County teachers' institute will open a three days' session at Castle Rock tomorrow. Every teacher In the county will be in attendance and schools will be closed during the progress of the institute. Lucia Jenkins, county superintendent. has prepared the programme. odical and children's rooms; and in ad altlon art and map reference rooms, and various public rooms free of charge for any kind of a meeting where no admission is charged. Sometimes there are eight different meetings in a day. "In October, 1913, there were 2782 books on history and travel circulated, while this year the number is 3025. Poetry and essays amounted to 3051 volumes in October, 1913, and 3717 in 1914. Fine arts was 2685 volumes in 1913 and 3026. in 1914. Fiction Is not classified. In October, 1913, the cir culation amounted to 16,415 and In 1914 the number was slightly de creased to 16,234. Owing to the fine libraries in various publio educational Institutions the school use is falling off. Religious books to the amount of 953 were circulated in 1913 and 933 in 1914. "Books on subjects pertaining to the war in Europe are kept out longer for careful reading, discussion and lending them to friends, and this means that numerically this year's records would not show an increase over last year, when such books were called for more frequently and not kept out so long. War Indices n Demand. "Of the most popular books at pres ent is Usher's 'Pan-Germanism." This book has more calls than any other, On the opposite side is 'The War and America,' by Hugo Munsterberg. "Ger many and the Next War,' by General Bernhardt, and Germany and England, by Cramb. are all popular. Price Col, Iter's essays on the English and Ger mans are also In demand. "We bave 12 requests for Suderman's Joy of Living.' Emerson, Carlyle and Thackeray are equally popular. 'The Post Office,' by Tagore, the Hindu poet who won the Nobel prize, is much In demand. We have a set of Roosevelt's books and several copies of his most popular stories." When asked If she agreed with Charles Eliot's five-foot shelf of vol umes. Miss MacLachlan said that she had never known anybody to read all the books Dr. Eliot had suggested. commencing with the first volume and continuing to the end- She did say. however, that she agreed with the springneia librarian who chose the 25 best books of the past 20 years. A few o these are, "Up From Slavery," by Bjoker T. Washington "A History of the American Peoples, by Woodrow Wilson; letters by Robert Louis Stevenson, "Collected Verse" and "Kim," by Rudyard Kipling; "Japan, by Lafcadio Hearn; "Life of the Bee, by M.
