ductlon Wins AppUue.
A theater seems to be eomethlng like
an elevator or a. streetcar no matter
how many are packed In, there always
appears to be room for one more. For
Instance, when "The Old Homestead"
was at the Baker a few weeks ago It
looked as if business was running to
capacity, but now that "The Girl of the
Golden West" has come along thle
week, somehow the houses have broken
all former records this season and peo

Ruth Gates, Who Appears In "The
Girl of the Golden West" at the
Baker.
The picturesque old drama apparently
has lost none of its former ability to
draw and to please, as is evidenced by
the applause night after night as the
different scenes reach their climax. It
Is artistically produced, with all the
familiar effects of lighting and scenery,
from the opening, with Its solemn musi
cal effect and elowly revolving pano
rama curtain showing the Sierras, to
the Polka saloon, kept by the girL

mountain, the "schoolroom" and the
final cyclorama showing the typical
California hills at Sunrise.
It Is action, realism and melodrama.
such as combine to make it one of the
giants of the speaking stage. The ell
max of the second act, in which Ruth
Gates, ae "the girl," cheats the Sheriff
at poker in order to save her lover's
life and her own honor, is one of the
most fetching scenes ever woven Into a
plot. She throws his attention, plucks
an ace from her stocking and nearly
faints with Joy and excitement as she
screams she has won. And it Is one
cheat for which the audience forgives
her every time.

TOYS TO BE MADE
Portland-Factory With Capital
of $30,000 to Start Soon.
OTHER PLANTS PROMISED
Arrangements Perfected by Realty
Board Committee for Utilizing
Oregon Raw Material, With J.
J. Valentine In Charge.
Staple wooden toys, art gifts, nursery,
lawn and garden furniture and vari
ous wooden specialties will be manu
factured on an extensive scale by the
Valentine Manufacturing Company, a
new Portland industry which will
start operations In about 10 days.
The new company is capitalized at
1 30,000. and all available stock has been
Bold among 31 prominent and respon
sible Portland business men, who will
own and control the company. Ar
ticles of Incorporation definitely
launching the Industry will be filed in
a day or two.
After giving two years to a study
of how to bring new industries to
Portland, L. W. Cronan, who organized
the Valentine Manufacturing Company,
is convinced that the best bay to build
Portland up Industrially is to place
local capital behind the utilization of
local raw products by making articles
for which there Is a heavy demand all
over the country, as well as at home.
Other Industries Promised.
The toy and wooden specialty fao
tory Is to be but a forerunner of other
industries which Mr. Cronan proposes
to develop one at a time. Each time
he will choose carefully some Oregon
raw product, such as lumber, grain or
wool, which he Is certain can be mar
keted after being brought to a manu
factured state. During the past two
years Mr. Cronan has been serving as
chairman of the factory site commit
tee of the Portland Realty Board and
he has given the subject of new indus
tries much thought and study.
John J. Valentine, of Portland, who
has had 11 years' experience in sell
ing to Pacific Coast buyers, will be
general manager of the manufacturing
concern bearing his name. He will be
surrounded by a force of men who
have had broad experience In building
toys and like products which are to
enter the competittive - trade of the
country.
Business la Expanding.
"At the present time the Eastern
toy factories, most of which are lo
cated In Vermont, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts, are sending West for
our lumber and later send the same
materials back In the form of toys.
etc.," Bald Mr. Cronan yesterday. "The
demand for this class of goods far
exceeds the supply and we are go
ing to see to it that Oregon gets a
goodly share of this business. A tre
mendous number of toys are sold on
the Pacific Coast every yeaV, yet
hardly any more than 3 per cent are
built In the West. The manufacture
of toys has been expanding by leaps
and bounds, but thus far the industry
is in its infancy merely."
Arrangements have already been
made to acquire a factory building
that will be ideal for the location of
the Valentine industry and machinery
is already on the ground to handle
a large output.

laughter.
During: the evening: armfuls of cut

tributed among: the entertainers at the
meeting- of the British Red Cross. The
florist's boy had orders to leave the
flowers with Mr. West. When the
flowers arrived Mr. West was not in
the lobby, so the boy banked Mr. West's
desk with the choice flowers. When he
finished delivering the flowers all that
could be seen of the desk were the
less and the name plate surmounting
the flowers, with these words written
thereon: "William G. West. Chief
Clerk."
One of Mr. West's aides seized the
opportunity, engraved on another card
the words "Here lies" and placed It
above the name plate.
"Billy" soon strolled Into the lobby
and found his desk surrounded y
mourners.
After the laughs had subsided
"Billy" was assured from a number of
