working in the effete east. That Is,
when she concludes her atage en

platform as a featured performer for
the first time in her life. In her
previous stage experience sha was a
very humble player of minor roles,
her then-husband, Lew Cody, being
the shining light of the pair.

PORTLAND ASKS HOW
. Portland will have a definite plan
for overcoming the effects of blis
' sards snow storms, and similar dis
turbances in the future if the plans
of City Comruissioner Bigelow. in
, charge of the street-cleaning bureau,
;are worked out. Yesterday Coramis-
sioner Bigelow sent questionnaires to
the principal eastern cities seeking
J information on the methods in vogue
for the fighting of snow storms and
'. blizzards.
The city council yesterday agreed
to an additional appropriation of
110,000 for the clearance of streets,
' the original appropriation of $15,000,
'made last Wednesday, having been
exhausted. The appropriation can--not
be made until Wednesday, but
; the council instructed Commissioner
Bigelow to . continue his work with
the same force now operating and
promised that the money would be
forthcoming.
In the disbursement of the original
appropriation, $12,310.91 was spent on
clearing the downtown streets of
snow and the remainder of the
$15,000 was spent on clearing main
arteries on the east side leading to
the business district. Sunday the
street-cleaning bureau, according to
Superintendent Alex Donaldson,
:cleared 22 blocks at an approxi
mate cost of $100 per block.
When the city forces first began
;work on Wednesday, the total cost
of clearing a block of snow was $200,
but through a general system devised
by Superintendent Donaldson and
.other bureau chiefs co-operating with
him, this cost has been cut in twain.
. - The work will be continued with
:out abatement, with the best provi--gions
possible made for the handling
'.of of the water resulting from a sud
den thaw. In this connection. Super-
intendent Donaldson urged all prop
. erty owners in both the business and
residential sections of the city to keep
.' the gutters clear so that the water
may have free passage to the sewers.
' Unless this is done, the water is likely
! to back into basements, flood streets
- and make a general disagreeable as
! well as dangerous situation, should a
sudden thaw develop. v

WATER JNALYSES VARY
FURTHER PROBE AT PACKING
PLANT ORDERED.
Recent Investigation at Local Con
cern Held by Some to Show
Menace to Health.
Discrepancy in analysis of water
; used by Schlesser Bros., operating a
packing house on Columbia boule
.. vard. by the city and state health
; offices has resulted in the collection
' of another sample of water by the
; state board of health for further ln-
vestigation.
; . On August 12, 191i Dr. E. E. Chase,
- chief meat Inspector of the municipal
: health bureau, collected a sample of
; water at the packing house, which,
when examined by former City Bac
teriologist Pernot, was found to be
' contaminated with colon bacillus. On
August 18 a second sample was taken
by Dr. Chase and it, too, was found
. to be contaminated.
On August 28 County Health Offi-
Roberg that an investigation bad cor
roborated the reports made by Drs.
' parrish and Chase and that boiling
."water was being used in the plant..
; ; On September 17 Assistant County
Health Officer Hess collected a sam
,' vle of the water used aX the plant.
which was submitted to the. state
. health bureau, examined and declared
' to be fit for human consumption.
State Health Officer Roberg an-
' nounced yesterday that he had asked
' for another sample of the water used
. 'at the plant and as soon aa this sam-
, pie is examined proper action will
be taken.
ALASKANS WILL BANQUET
Annual Event Scheduled for Satur
day, January 24.
I'lans for an annual banquet and
lor other gatherings' were perfected
UNUSUAL. In Its wholesome -fun
and vigor of plot and situations
is "Jinx," the' newest and big
gest Mabel Normand picture which Is
showing this week at the Strand the
ater. v
"Jinx" is a circus story but it Is
vastly different from any circus
story ever before shown on the
screen. In the first place It is a
comedy from start to finish. It deals
with the members of a bankrupt
circus comedy and while the hard
ness of the life of the circus folk is
shown it is overshadowed by the
merry heart of the "Jinx." The Jinx,
played by Miss Normand, is a well
meaning, neglected child who in some
way or other is apparently the cause
of all hard luck which came to those
she would befriend. After a terrible
calamity In which she ruined all
prospects, of a recoup for her man
ager and chances of back salary for
her friend, she runs away into more
trouble.
Silvery haired, dainty and kindly is
the matron of a small county orphan
asylum to which the Jinx goes in her
efforts to escape the circud life. The
little orphans are seen in the prover
bial checked ginghams but they are
happy, contented and well cared for.
To the neglected "Jinx" who had
known only the sordid life back of
the circus curtains, the orphan home
was heaven. To its kiddies the
"Jinx" was heaven also for she
showed them how to play circus.
Properties for presenting this cir
cus were most unusual. Bossy's hay
furnished the costume for a wee
Hula-Hula dancer. A pair of "Teddy
Bear" pajamas and a cast off corset
decorated with freshly gathered wild
flowers were converted into a das"..
!ng attire for a tight rope walker.
And there was a wild man, too. Spon
taneous fun representing a score of
such situations make the picture un
usually worth while.

NEW BILLS AT THE THEATERS
Alcazar.
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
IN the performance of "A Stubborn
Cinderella" Mabel Wilber returned
to the Alcazar musical stock last
night and sang her numbers, and par
ticularly one big solo with intricate
runs and climacteric top notes, quite
as if she hadn't been fighting an at
tack of laryngitis all last week. Miss
Wilber is in excellent voice and
makes a gay and charming Cinderella.
The plot in "A Stubborn Cinderella"
takes care of itself and shuffles off
into nothingness quite early, as all
musical comedy plots are supposed
to do, but the Alcazar management
allows the plot to take care of itself
by . introducing pleasing interpola
tions. As an Instance, Henry Coote,
in the role of a college rah-rah boy,
sings "Dear Old Pal of Mine" in a
voice and spirit fresher than has
marked some of his earlier work this
season. . He was recalled three times
to sing the chorus.
In this play the prince Is a college
boy who poses as a sculptor so that
he may sculp the princess. Lee Daly
plays this role and gives a fine ac
counting of its many clever lines. It
Is the most likable and biggest
role Mr. Daly has had since the season
opened and he sings it, dances It and
plays it neatly and with the charm
of naturalness.
Miss Wilber is the Scotch lady of
nobility and her sprightly graces and
admirable freshness of voice were ap
preciatively remarked upon.
One of the bis hits in tne produc
tion is the "harmonizing" specialty
put on by Messrs. Coote, Daly, Sedan,
Katanson and Poppen. They sing
Roll Dent Bones," "Rosie O'Grady"
and other melodies calculated to
show the blending of male voices.
The harmony, unaccompanied by the
orchestra, is truly delightful and the
singers were encored over and over.
Katanson is the sad, pessimistic en
gineer, Poppen is the Quaker Oatish
uncle and Edward Sedan dances and
sings his way Into much popularity
as a college rounder.
None Was more happily contribu
tory to the success of the production
than brlpht-eyed, happyi-voiced Eva

Pantages.
FULLY two dozen Ma-y Fairbanks
and as many Dustin Chaplins
made their bow in the motion pictures
taken at Pantages yesterday and pro
vided no end of fun for the audience.
Rehearsals and enaction for the film
both took place In full view of the
audience and the audience on one oc-
TVTY, how it makes your lips smack with sheer de-1VJ-
light. The real stuff. Wine! All the good old
luscious flavor. All the rare fragrance. Vinted and
fermented just as always. Nothing missing but the
alcohol and you won't miss that.
The alcohol is extracted from VIRGINIA DARE
WINE after ageing. It's simply a marvel of science
which leaves the pure wine better than ever a
drink for the gods. The wine for all occasions.
