1917.
GOOD
START MADE
ON LIBRARY FUND
First Night's Total for State,
Portland Not Figuring in
Count, Is $1691.
CITY WILL REPORT TODAY
Outside Places Are Making Gener
ous Contributions and Suc
cess of the Campaign
Is Assured.
With not a single report received
from the city of Portland, the first
teams In which will report today, and
with but fragmentary reports from the
state at large, the first night's total of
Oregon's $45,000 of the $1,000,000 war
library fund was 91691.
Conspicuous In the total is the sum
of $116 reported from The ralles and
$100 from Salem, the first day's total
In both cities.
Indications of the success of the fund
was given State IMrector Brewster
when Moro telegraphed that It had
reached Its quota in the first hours of
Monday and had begun the task of
doubling it, while further Indications
came with telegraphed requests from
Roaeburg and Goble for additional sub
scription blanks, despite their liberal
allotment.
East Portlandera Warklas.
A similar request came from Miss
Loa e. Bailey, campaign manager of
the East Portland Library section, un
der M. B. McFaul, chairman, who re
ported that she had organized com
pletely the entire 44 precincts In her
section, and an energetic one-day cam
paign is planned in that district today.
Miss Bailey is librarian of the East
Portland Library.
Another library district to report
very precinct organized was Sellwood,
under Miss Mabel t). McWllliams, li
brarian. The East Portland district manage
ment held a lively campaign meeting
last night of all workers at the library,
which, in addition to being addressed
by Chairman McFaul. Miss Bailey and
Miss Isom, Portland librarian, was fea
tured by a talk from Sergeant Fergu
son, of the British recruiting station.
Sergeant Ferguson told of the real
need for libraries among the troops at
the front. Sergeant Ferguson was a.
member of the first Canadian contin
gent, and told his experiences "over
there."
Among the committees which began
energetic work yesterday was one
headed by Mrs. G. T. Gerlinger. Port
land member of Governor Withycombe's
State Council. Mrs. Gerlinger has
charge of a large Twenty-third street
and King's Heights section, and her
associates are Mrs. John Newton, Mrs.
C. M. Barbee. Mrs. Louis Gerlinger, Jr.,
Mrs. Ralph Wilbur. Miss Gertrude Tal
bot. Mrs. r. M. Spencer, Mrs. F. A.
Klehle, Miss Isabelle Clark, Mrs. Hugh
McGuire. Miss Bickel, Miss Irene Daly
and others.
Other Committees Busy.
The Ad Club committee, under E.
R. Strong, and the Rotarian, under
J. C. Moore. began work, while
a, large realty board committee,
each member of which will work
Independently, begins this morning.
The realtors include W. B. Allen,
A. K. Hill, S. S. Battin. Ms E. Lee, L. K.
Moore, W. A. Barnes. J. D. Nellan. J. D.
CDonnell. George C. Howard. T. J.
Baldwin and R. H. Blossom.
No reports have yet been received
from Washington, and it Is believed
the first will be compiled there today.
"With the personal help and the do
nations of every person in the state,
Oregon will raise her quota," said Mr.
Brewster.

PANTAGES BILL ALL FUN
FOUR ROSES, WIMBLE ACROBATIC
LASSES. PRESENT BALLET.
"Little Bliss TTp-to-Date" la Musical
Comedy of Zielld Order Pretty
Maids. Gorareons Costumes.
There's not one dull or uneventful
moment on Pant ages' new bill. It's one
blgr. roaring lot of fun from beginning
to end, from the moment the Four
Roses open It until the big- spectacular
featured act, a musical comedy, brings
the fun to a close. Harry Breen re
turns with a brand new act. He still
retains the flavor of his famous "kid
Impersonations," and he does his well
known impromptu, songs made up about
the audience. Harry is billed as the
"nut without a grain of sense," and
capably and cheerily lives up to his
reputation In a corking act.
Octavla Hand worth is an interesting
artist who stars with her own com
pany in a clever sketch of the North
woods entitled "Salvation Sue." It is
suggestive of "Salvation Nell," and has
a card game played with a man's life
at stake similar to the scene in "The
Girl of the Golden West." Miss Hand
worth is charming1 and wholly feminine
and artistic in the big role, and has
excellent support in Gordon de Maine
as a gambler and Jack Owens, a bar
tender, both of whom she reforms.
An Eva Tanguay-Hke cyclonic per
sonality has Maxine Darish, who dances
and prances about on a pair of mar
velously good-looking limbs and who
sings and laughs delightfully.
A pair of dusky demons of fun are
Adams and Guhl in a chat exchange.
It's all about a misfit insurance pol
icy and convulses the audience. They
have one song, about candidates for
heaven, that proves a riot.
The Four Hoses, four nimble lasses
of acrobatic tendencies, present a beau
tiful opening act with ballet atmos
phere and of artistic value. "Little
Miss Up-to-Date" Is the title of the
musical comedy featured on the bill.
It Is pretentious as to costuming, being
of the Florenx Zelgfeld order, with
pretty maids in gorgeous costume. It
it a sort of song-and-dance revue,
minus the two inevitable comedians,
with one clever chap, Leon Leonard,
and a dainty maid. Faye O'Neill, in the
principal singing and dancing roles.
Lottie Merrit, who has a lotta merit,
too, offers a saxaphone and an ac
cordeon specialty. The act Is sensa
tional, and its closing number, with
the girls as soldiers in a rousing
martial melody, arouses enthusiasm.
The third episode in "The Fatal
King" proves diverting and replete
with thrills.
FIANCEE ASKS FOR DATA
Woman Inquires as to Financial
Status of Prospective Husband.
Before actually contracting matri
mony. Alma L. Anderson, of San Fran
cisco, evidently decided to obtain re
liable information as to the financial
resources of her prospective husband.
At any rate. In a letter received by
Probate Judge Tazwell yesterday, the
woman says she is the promised wife
of William Francis Nash and requested
that official to notify her by return
mail the amount of money her fiance
will receive from the estate of his de
ceased father, Joseph Nash.
A. W. Orton. clerk of the ' Probate
Court, ascertained from an examination
of the papers in the' estate that the
son was bequeathed $5000 in cash and
will share in the further distribution
of the estate if anything- remains after
a number of similar bequests have been
made. This information was forwarded
by letter to the prospective bride.
