April Is (Special.) This is not a large place, but it is one of the busiest and ap parently most prosperous little towns that I have seen in a coon's ase. Really, Cosmopolls is a part of Ab erdeen or else Aberdeen is a part of Cosmopolis, for you no sooner get out side of the city limits of the one until you are within the city limits of the other provided yon are on the south side of the Chehalis River opposite Aberdeen. When I was last here Cosmopolis had about as choice a specimen of mud streets as I ever ran across rather into, for it was difficult to cross them. Now there is no small city in Western Washington better paved. At the time of that visit there were also a lot of vacant houses and vacant store buildings there are none now. There is not even a hovel or a dog house for rent. Town Has Several Industries. The chief asset of Cosmopolis is the sawmill and other industries of the Grays Harbor Commercial Company. In a wav this is a foreie-n pnrtinratlnn That is, its stock is principally owned by Californians, A. W. Jackson, of San Francisco, being president. But the people here know but little of the per sonnel of the owners or executive of ficers of the concern except what they know of J. H. Cooney, the man who runs the business here on the Erround. Mr. Cooney is to all intents and pur poses me tiraya Harbor Commercia Company, so far as' this community concerned. He has under him about J ,200 employes, about half of them work here in town in the sawmill shingle mill, box factory, planing mill and other kindred industries of the company. And the plant was kept run ning all through the lumber slump of a few years ago. Many of the mills on the harbor closed down for short or long periods, one or two never to do business again, but Mr. Cooney kepi tnis plant going without a stop. There you have in succinct form the reason for the prosperity mentioned The great payroll of the Grays Har bor Commercial Club came through regularly in cosmopolis while so many otner plants were shut down or run ning half or quarter time. Amusements Are Plentiful. On my arrival here I did not find jur. i ooney at once: neither could meet Mr. Stanhope, the man who runs the Cosmopolis Times, a sprightly little weekly issued here. So I fore gathered with George O'Rourke, the agent here for The Oregonian. George nas a large drugstore on one of the best corners in town and right next door to it he has a place called the Brunswick Resort, where soft drinks (mighty soft) are served and where the people gather to play billiards and pocket billiards. I suggested pool to George, but he says the very word suggests a differ ent sort of resort from his, where only the best people are catered to. George is kept mighty busy running from one place to the other. He has a good manager in each place, and if there is any money in the drug or resort bus! ness. then George is getting more than nis snare. George told me all of the good things of the town. He pointed out to me the Bay City mill, which is close to nis places and yet in South Aberdeen. la all intents and purposes this mill is a belonging of the town, for many of the employes live in Cosmopolis. But the things that George dwelt upon the strongest and bore down upon the hardest were the expected new bank and the Cosmopolis schools. Building Work Active. jubi across on me OODOSlte corner from his drugstore George says a new Danx Duuamg is to go up soon. And surely a small bank would do well here. You will find in many towns or less resources two. or even more banks. Perhaps some person looking Jor a Dan King location will read this article. Let him write to George. It will be found that the people of Cos mopolis will put up their share of the capital to start such an enterprise, and will then give it loyal support. Professor W. A King is superin tendent of the city schools, and he is eaid to be one of the best officials of the kind in this section. There are two buildings, one for the high school and one for the grammar school. Here the students can take the full high school course, including all of the sidelines, such as domestic economy and manual training. The Cosmopolis schools take a back seat to none other in the state. Deepwatermen In River. All three of the railroads the North ern Pacific, O.-W. R. & N. and Milwau kee touch Cosmopolis, and the street cars from, Hoquiam and Aberdeen also run here. And then there are a few jitneys, so that a person need not walk if he has two minutes to await a jit ney or streetcar and a dime to pay his fare. The city has a good public library "FAGGED OUT" WOMEN Will Find a Helpful Suggestion in This Letter. Overworked, run down "fagged out" women who feel as though they could hardly drag about, -hould profit by Mrs. Carter's experience. She says: "I am the mother of six children and I got so weak and run-down that I couldn't eat anything and it seemed al most impossible for me to get around and do my work. I tried different doc tors' remedies without benefit. I saw Vinol advertised and decided to try it, and received bo much benefit from the first bottle that I continued to take it, and it has built up my strength and made me strong and welL I consider Vinol the best medicine I have ever taken, and advise all weak, run-down women to try It." Mrs. Bessie Carter, State Road, N. C If all the tired, overworked, run down women in Portland could only realize how our delicious Vinol. which contains beef and cod liver peptones. Iron and manganese peptonates and glycerophosphates, supplies the vital elements necessary to build up blood and strength, we wouldn't be abl to supply the demand.

MODERN piano playing is a fine, cultivated art that is not alone a mastery of piano performance and technique, but it calls for discretion and ability in the make-up of piano pro grammes selected for public rendition, to which is added an estimate of the physical powers of the performer. Mrs. Maurice William Seitz mad" her first appearance as piano soloist in this city in a recital at which she was the sole performer yesterday afternoon at the Little Theater, and the occasion was much of a personal success. At the conclusion of each number there were nine numbers, with several subdivi sions Mrs. Seitz was greeted with en thusiastic applause from the large audience in attendr.nce, an audience that included many professional musi cians of this city. Among them were leading pianists. The programme was skilfully select ed 'to show the quality and delicacy of Mrs. Seitz' pianism. She played so well, so impressively and all from memory as a serious, thoughtful pianist that niie has won a place among pian ists in this region. Her piano shad ings, her nuances, her fine sentiment in execution, were beautiful to hear. Her programme was selected from three groups: first, moderns: second, classiques, and, third, moderns. The whole presentation gave one the in ner, spiritual thought as noted in the analysis of a painting. Yet, in the arrangement of that programme, its composition is one in which programme makers will prob ably have varyi-g opinions. For in stance, in tne middle of the pro gramme two heavy numbers, one by tseetnoven and the other by Bach, fol lowed each other. Some authorities might have separated the two selec tlons and placed between them lighter number to give greater rest, at tne time, to tne pianist. Other au thorities, again, will probably prefer tne oraer oi tne programme as 1 stands. The Beethoven sonata was quite im presslvely presented, the chant motif being finely accentuated. The lighte btaub, Sscott and MacDowell numbers were splendid, and will live pleas antly In remembrance. Mrs. Seitz was recalled many times, but she playet oniy two extras, the MacDowell "Hax entanz" and the Schubert-Liszt "Sere naae." RIOT ENDS PEACE MEETING (Concluded on Page 18. Column 2.) the large United States Hag. With on omcer noiding each arm, the third played a tattoo on his head, continu ing even after he had been carried to the pavement. In other groups the same scene was being repeated, and in two minutes the street was cleared, leaving the police in possession or the Meld. , -nnsiian Koldlers, was sung prior to the advance on the meet ing, and Jacob France, Jr., mounted the edge of the City College wall and re nted a patriotic poem. The temper of the crowd became dangerous, but the peaceiui element was still in the as cendency. Crowd Follows Colors. At tnis juncture some one. speaking ul purpose or tne meeting inside, aK.ea n tnose around him would fol low tne nag over the police into the hall and put an end to the meeting. The crowd roared assent and off they la I Leu. They reached the doors of the acad emy, wnicn open outward, nnrt fnr,a them closed with ten patrolmen in front of them.

Nearly 1000 men were howlinp ing and shaking their fists at the no. lice who stood at the ton of the stenx determined not to allow an entrance to oe iorcea. A few tentative rushes were mrio but there was no concerted action be hind them and the police succeeded in npui.ing mem. Apparently the police were firmlv cuurencnea against all assaults nd probably would have held firm against the attackers had it not been for a dramatic incident in which the sight of the United States flag being seized, swept the crowd forward in an im petuous rush which overcame all ob stacles. Osbourne had the flair at th hear nt the crowd at the bottom of the steps. He was pushed halfway up.
