rortland Ciirl Selected to Break
Bottle or Water at Big Jiddy
Is Descendant or Tong Line
of Distinguished Kivermen.
Mips Wilberta Babbidge. of 5U5 last
Sixty-first street, daughter of Captain
AVilber W. Babbidge, was selected yes
terday as the representative of the
M'illamette Kiver, to break a bottle of
"Willamette water, into the Columbia
Tiivor at the dedicatory exercises at
Big Kddy.May 5, when the Celilo Canal
la formally opened.
Jliss Babbidge Is the tentli girl ap
pointed on tho list of sponsors for
tributary rivers to the Columbia, and
tho entires list, when completed, will
include more than a score of names.
It is probable that .Miss ISabbidge
taold.s a more distinctive title to the
honor that has been conferred upon
lier than any other young woman who
has been a candidate for such an ap
pointment in any of the numerous dis
tricts that are to be represeted at the
ceremony.
For three generations back in fact,
since the navigation of the Columbia
Kiver and tho Willamette began her
forebears have been identified with the
history of transportation on these
streams.
She is a great-granddaughter of Cap
tain Bart C. Kindred, who came to Ore
gon in 1844, and who was the pioneer
captain on the Columbia and Willam
ette Kivers. He operated batteaux
between Clatsop and Oregon City from
1S45 to !&). Her grandfather, Cap
tain Henry Kindred, was on the rivers
until for a period of about 42
years.
Captain John W. Babbidge, also her
grandfather, commanded a steamer for
the Oregon Steam Navigation Company
on the Astoria route for about -0 years.
He wj married to the daughter of
Captain B. C. Kindred. Captain Steven
A. Babbidge, brother of J. W. Bab
bidsc, was also a sailor, and after
many years on the high seas served
also as a captain on some of the his
toric craft on the Upper Columbia.
Cup tain Wilber W. Babbidge, lather
of Sites Babbidge. was born in Astoria
in 1S70, and was master of several ves
sels on the river before 1894, when he
went into business himself with the
steamers Electric and Electro, which
lie commanded for seven years in the
Oovernment service. He came to Port
land in 1!I0j and in 1906 owned and
operated the steamers Colwell and Leo
na on the Willamette and Yamhill
rivers.
Captain Alfred Babbidse, maeter and
.owner of the Julia B-. Captain K. L. Bab
bidge, master and owner of the Elfin,
wnd Captain James W. Babbidge. master
of the steamer Electro, brothers of
Tifiss Babbidge, are all in active service
on the Willamette and Columbia rivers.
Jliss Babbidge's appointment to rep
resent the Willamette River at the
ceremonies at Big Eddy was in recogni
tion of the remarkable part played, by
her family from the pioneer days to
the. present in the river transportation
on the Willamette and Columbia.
The sponsors for other rivers ap
pointed thus far are: Miss Leila Zoe
llershnor. of Hood River. Hood River

PROBLEMS ON RESOURCES PLAN
Chamber Asked to Send State Data
for Novel Arithmetic.
Instead of abstract problems about
the transactions of "A" and "B," or
how much linoleum some indeterminate
'C" purchased to carpet an imaginary
floor, school children of the future will
figure out concrete problems in which
the statistics about the resources of
Oregon and her standing timber and
the output of her factories will be em
ployed, if L. K. Wolfe, of San Antonio,
Tex:., has his way and the text-book
in arithmetic which he is compiling
ever gets into general use.
The Portland Chamber or commerce
yesterday received a letter from Mr.
Wolfe asking for a supply of informa
tion on the material resources of the
state. He announced that these facts
and figures are to be used in the prep
aration of an arithmetic, which he is
trying to make different from all other
text-books on this subject which are
now on the market.
In ordinary text-books on this sub
ject abstract problems are put to the
pupils. Mr. woire proposes to present
concrete problems to the students, such
as confront loggers, miners or manu
facturers. The 1913 Oregon Almanac
has been sent him, which, it is be
lieved, will provide enough problems
to keep all the school children in
America busy for some time,

ing Drama at Columbia With.
Militant Clergyman in Role.
Admirers of J. Warren Kerrigan will
find him more than likable as a down-and-out
ehap looking for a job. Kerri
gan runs across a crook who uses the
cleverness of the former to further fcis
own blackguardly schemes. This is
the character Kerrigan assumes in
"The Stool Pigeon," the latest feature
at the Star Theater, and which will
hold the top of the bill until Satur
day night.
Added spice is given to one of the
best photo plays the Star has ever
had by some fine acting done by Vera
Sisson, who carries out a double roie
of a society girl and a girl crook.
Kerrigan falls in love with one of the
Sissona and rescues the society Sisson
from the gang of whieh the crook
Sisson is a member.

'ANNA KAKEXIS.V AT MAJESTIC
Bill long but Is Declared Unusually
Attractive.
A laugh and a cry are in the bill
at the Majestic Theater for the rest of
the week. "Anna. Karenina" is a
tragedy ef a woman who dared. Betty
Nansen, the celebrated European
actress appears in the leading role. It
is, a pathetic, terrible story, but it is
magnificently done Miss Nansen's
work is not unfamiliar to Portland
people who have seen her in "The
Celebrated Scandal."
"Officer 666" is the biggest laugh
imaginable. From the funny little
Japanese butler who wasn't allowed to
speak a word for fear of being "skinned
alive to pretty, blonde Delia Conner,
the babyish little cousin of the girl
who would elope, th farce is a ecream.
The complications are immense. "Officer
666" divides his identity between three
persons.
