Matt, which ha3 taken rank among
stage classics and of which much is
expected, and that the renowned come
dienne makes good goes without say
ing, for her characterization will no
doubt be most delightful.
Of course, the art of Miss Robson,
mellowed by years of experience, is at Saturday.
Its best now. Picturesqueness, feeling
and charm being her chief virtues in
the rendition of her role. It can only
be said that Miss Robson promises
delightful comedy that will be found
a refreshing treat both to her auditors
and her critics. She. herself, asserts
that there will be continued waves of
laughter and storms of mirth surging
from Its beholders, for the entire play
is said fairly to scintillate with witti
cism, and Miss Robson's mannerisms
and conceptions of true comedy will
add much to the amusement of ber
auditors.

eon is the only person to whom she
may look for support in her old age.

tity's trairic ordinance so as to pre
vent parking of cars In Morrison and
Washington streets and to permit

subject of a special meeting of the
Council a week from Tuesday. The
meeting will be held at 10 o'clock on
that date.
Study of Roofs Under Way. A study
of roofs to determine the best means
of preventing roof fires has been
etarted by Fire Marshal Stevens. He
says he plans a campaign of roof
painting which he says greatly will
decrease the number of fires in the
city. It is said preliminary investga
tion has shown that but comparatively
lew roofs are painted. By reason of
this moss accumulates and increases
lire hazard.

petty offenses concluded Judge Lang-
guth s patience yesterday forenoon,

drunkenness, with a suspension of
judgment if he left town before night
fall. Pariseau protested, but agreed to
go. Bessie Olson, convicted of being

been appointed in each of the four
battalion districts of the Fire Bureau.
The supervisors will hold weekly con
ferences with Fire Marshal Stevens
and frame work to be done by the
men under them. .The four appointed
are Lieutenant S. E.- Moeser, Captain
James Willane, Caain C. F. .Neale
and Captain Edward Grenfell.' The ap

tion of the deputy marshals expressed

Uniform Test Ststem Sought. An
effort is to be made by Building In
spector Plummer to devise a uniform
system of testing of building materials
in all the cities of the Pacific Coast
so that a test in one of the cities can
be used as the official test of the
others. As the plan now is each city
has a different test. For that reason
when new materials come onto the
market the producer has to submit to
tests of a different nature in each city
he enters. The test of one city does
not measure p in all particulars to
the tests In others.
Viaduct Question Up Next Week.

cost as recommended by Commissioner
Dieck.

before the City Couneil yesterday, when
he reproached Mr. Dieck for having I

"Hold on, now, Mr. Richardson," In-1
terposed Mr. Dieck. "Don't make a lot

Mr. Richardson continued to assail
Commissioner Dieck, alleging that he I
had insulted not only him (Richardson)

things, that Mr. Dieck had whispered
to fellow Commissioners while the pro-

BAKER THEATER
Without the protection of proper long-term restrictions, it is im
possible to build up a high-class residential district that will maintain
Its character as time passes.
Business houses, industrial plants, apartment-houses, garages and
moving picture theaters have invaded the most exclusive sections of the
city, hurting values and destroying the harmonious beauty necessary to
. the ideal residence tract.
With the growing demand, business houses must encroach upon our
residential area: they have no other place to go and in many sections of
the city there is nothing to keep them out.
Proper long-term restrictions such as LAURELHURST enjoys, could
have prevented all this. Buyers should insist that assurances be fur
nished that the values of their homes will not deteriorate in the future.
LAURELHIKST restrictions run for nearly twenty years to come
and cover a tract one mile long and three-quarters of a mile wide, af
fording great protection.
LAURELHURST has the room, the location and the restrictions
necessary to take care of the city's best residential development. Its
magnificent thirty-one-acre city park, artistic artificial lake, children's
playground and 26 miles of serpentine boulevards lined with prnamental
shade trees, offer a natural charm, a privacy, a picturesque appeal and
challenges comparison with any similar property In the world.
