SORRY DAY ARRIVES FOR LIBERTY LOVER AT Old-Time Patrons Renew Habit of Flocking to Opening Play of Season. Army of 30,000 Young Ameri cans Due to Respond to School Bells Today. IcilwsiushcivG a DctckaoG olong-it makes a migtitij pleasemt and refreshing PRIMA DONNA IS FAVORITE SESSIONS WON'T BE HELD WINNER BAKER ma - mt Able Comedians, Pretty Chorus of Dancers, Quartet, Orchestra of Girls and Motion Pic tures Are Features. BT LEONE CASS BAER. This time of year always finds 'the Baker stock patrons renewing- with commendable loyalty their habit of flocking- to their favorite playhouse to get acquainted with the leading woman, leading man, juvenile actor, character woman and tne various oth ers. Time cannot alter nor custom stale the Infinite variety of stock companies and the new season, which opened with a bis matinee yesterday. Is not to be an exception. This year the leading- man and the leading woman, the juvenile and the second woman are all in the party, but they sing most of their lines, punctu ate the situations with dance and "spe cialties" and there Is a large, beauteous band of coryphees to aid and abet the entertainment. In other words, a musical stock com pany has come to have, its being In the cosy Baker Theater, and I predict that it is going to be popular and well attended. Much Given for Little. The management gives one much of value for little money. There are plot, music, a quartet that does this soft-close-harmony-get-under-your-skin melody; there are 18 dancing damsels In more or less dress, and two dandy comedians of the In evitable and, in this Instance, funny German and Hebrew type. Best of all. there Is Kena Vlvlenne, a prima donna who first came to us as one of the three prima donnas In "Madame Butterfly," later visiting us in "The Chocolate Soldier." Since then she has entered musical stock in the Bast and in California. Miss Vlvienne's voice Is a dramatic soprano of excellent quality, and musi cal. She has dramatic fervor and en ters keenly into the spirit of the comedy. Then there is Myrtle De Loy, who will prove to be an Institution all by her pretty, vivacious, peppery self. Comedians Create Hilarity. The two comedians are Al Franks and Charles Byrnes, who omelette their dialect and occasion great hilarity with their "reverse English." Added to this list there Is Frank Harrington, a leading man with soul ful orbs; Billy Dodge, a joyous juvenile, and four debonair singers. The orchestra Is made up of girl musicians, a saxaphonlst, banjoist, vio linist, pianist, cornetlst and flutist. The usherettes feminine for usher wear smart white frocks and there are nice little girls in charge of the box office. So it's what one might safely call a glrly-glrly show. . This week the bill Is "The Flirting Princess," full of gay tunes, bright lines and delightful trifles of fun. The bill is. continuous Sundays and holi days, which, of course, includes today. They start at 2:30 and in between every presentation motion pictures of the "calculated - to - please" sort are shown. This week there Is a Cathrlne Countlss film which should Interest all Baker devotees. Next week the bill will be "The Follies' of Pleasure."

A family of 11 was awarded the prize of a barrel of flour offered here by the Sperry company for the largest family which attended the jubilee. The rivalry was between two prominent men of Marshfield, who, in the present soaring prices of flour thought it only safeguarding the family larder to en ter the competition. Postmaster Hugh McLaln lined up his family of eight, but Councilman Duncan Ferguson left him at the post when he presented his Itooseveltian family of 11. Mr. McLain said he had twice before exhibited in a similar contest, and lost each time, and now would devote his attention to his duties as president of the Chamber of Commerce, and let others compete for prizes.

MAGNATE DUE TODAY Thomas Fortune Ryan to Be in Portland Five Hours. HIGHWAY DRIVE PLANNED Financier Thought to Be Feeling Political Pulse of Nation on Trip Which Is Billed as Being for Business. One of New York's business men of the first magnitude will be in Port land today. He is Thomas Fortune Ryan, a Virginian by birth and a finan cier by fancy. He will arrive in his' private car Oakridge, attached to theJ bnasta Limited, at 1:60 o'clock and he will be in Portland until 7:10 tonight, when he will start for. Seattle. This is the second visit of the street railway magnate within the last few months, but the brevity of his former visit Is responsible for his plans to give Portland and the Columbia High way additional time today. Mr. Ryan has had a difficult time to arrive on schedule, owing to the attractions up through Oregon. He had originally planned to be in Portland yesterday, but he kept stopping off at the scenic places after leaving the California line so frequently that the last stop pre- : ' S - A WvV.-1-:' 7 , o V i V " ' - - A p i ' ' f4 1 1 ' Myrtle DeLoy With New Mnaleal Stack Company at Baker Theater. ItTAPf. eluded his getting Into Portland Sun day. Mr. Ryan's trip is ostensibly one of business, but among his local associates it is supposed it is primarily to sense business conditions in the West and to study the political situation. At one time Mr. Ryan was one of the most active business men of the Nation, holding seats on the board of directors of more than 30 corporations simultaneously, but relinquished the interlocking directorates in 1908. He began his business career almost 60 years ago as a dry goods merchant. Two years later he bumped up against Wall street with success and two years later was admitted to membership in the New York Stock Exchange. His career since then hats been of public interest, activities standing out in his busy life being his work in consolidat ing the street railway and lighting systems of New York, Chicago and other large cities. Mr. Ryan by some is known as the "father" of the street railway extension service, and while the average suburbanite is not aware of it, It was Mr. Ryan's suggestion that brought about the practice now quite general of extending street ran ways to cheap residence tracts. Mr. Ryan became prominently iden tified with the Equitable Life Assur ance Society in 1905. In politics he is a Democrat and was a delegate to the National Convention in 1904. The press of business in New York deprived Portland of another dis tinguished visitor today. Lewis Tlirany, of the famous house of Tiffany, Jewel ers, of New York, was booked to be in Portland this morning, but business called him East yesterday and he left Tacoma for New York direct. Mr. Tiffany, with a party of 20 guests, was traveling in the private car Ideal. Tj. T. TIFFANY BUYS TOTEM Millionaire Jeweler to Have Pole Placed in New York Home. TACOMA. Wash.. Sept. 8. Lewis T.

Mr. Tiffany and a party of 20 persons were return ing from Alaska on the steamer frin cess Alice, which put in at Alert Bay. He saw a totem, quaintly carved and weirdly colored, which struck his fancy and immediately dickered with a chief for its purchase. He sought it with the same avidity that social leaders buy gems in his metropolitan shop. When he reacned xacoma ne naa it transferred to his private car, in which the party started East today. They can. celed arrangements to go south to Cali fornia with a stop in Portland because of business which called the host East. LINN FAIR THIS WEEK GOVERNOR WITHYCOMBE TO MAKB OPENING ADDRESS.

In spite of the fact that there was no Revenue -from saloon li censes last year, the City Commission ers lopped off nearly $50,000 from the city indebtedness.

All Houses Are Renovated. FRANKLIN HIGH REGISTRA TION IN NEW BUILDIXO, All students of the Franklin High School will register today at the new school bulldinsr. East Fifty-second and Division streets. A report that registra tion would be at the old building is erroneous. School opens today in the 88 build ings of the Portland district. As a consequence once more the the persuasive call of the swimming hole and the joys of vacation days must give way to the sterner duties of school life. The call to books and studies will mean that Portland's school boy and girl population of ap proximately 34,000 must, for another term, let their lives be governed by the study and recitation periods of the school day schedule. Today will be registration day at tha schools of the city. The day will be devoted to enrolling of pupils and each will be given a registration card and book list. Real school work will begin tomorrow. The work tomorrow may be handi capped slightly by the fact that book stores will bo closed today. This, how ever, is not expected to be a serious drawback as probably 80 to 5 per cent of the pupils will use books that were In service last year. It is expected that the registration today will be light owing to the fact that the Labor-day celebration will keep many away. A heavy registration Is looked for in the six high schools this year. Charles A. Rice, Assistant City Superintendent, predicted yesterday that the high school registration would reach 7000 by the end of the first week." This would be an increase of approximately 1000 over last year. Mr. Rice expressed the belief that the elementary school registration would do well If it was as large as last year. The total registration last year In tne schools of the city was approxi mately 34.000. Of this number between 27,000 and 28,000 were in the elementary scnoois. ine registration In the ele mentary schools on the opening day last year was between 25.000 and 26,- 000. Last years registration showed an Increase of 700 over that of the preceding ' year the increase being mainly in tne high schools. The new Franklin High, East Fifty second and Division streets, will be opened this morning. There will be ample accommodations for all students it is ald. All the buildings have been cleaned and renovated in preparation for the new school year. A feature of the openlnir of Lincoln High School will be the opening of the students' book exchange there. It Is managed by Ralph Holzman, student manager, under the direction of Pro fessor E. E. Schwarztrauber, faculty advisor, for the benefit of the scholar ship fund.

GOOD WORK FOR SICK WOM The Woman's Medicine Haa Proved Its Worth. When Lydia E- Pintham's remedies , were first introduced, their curative powers were doubted and had to be proved.

Now that hundreds of thousands of women have experienced the most beneficial effects from the use of these medicines, their value has be come generally recognized, and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Is the standard medicine for women. The following letter is only one of the thousands on file in the Pinkham office, at Lynn, Mass., proving that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is an article of great merit as . ahown by the results it produces. Anamosa,Iowa. "When I began tak ing Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound I suffered with a displacement, and my system was in a general run down condition. I would have the head ache for a week and my back would ache so bad when 1 would bend down I could hardly straighten up. My sister was sick in bed for two months and doctored, but did not get any relief. She saw an advertisement of your med cine and tried it and got better. She told me what it had done for her, and when I had taken only two bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound my head began to feel better. I continued its use and now I don't have any of those troubles." Mrs. L. J. Hannan, R.F.D. 1, Anamosa, Iowa.
