T
IS 10 BE BRACED
Decision Made After Confer
ence With Engineers.
SPECIAL TRAIN LEAVES
Supplies and Equipment Are Sent
by O.-W. R. & N. ; Responsi
bility I'ut on County.
A special O.-W. R. & N. train left
for Multnomah Falls at 2 o'clock
yesterday with supplies and equip
ment to brace the viaduct on the
Columbia highway immediately east
of that point. The viaduct was held
by enfrlneers to be In danger of giv
ing way beneath the pressure of an
Ice flow left by the recent storm.
The decision was reached yester
day morning at a conference, with
Samuel C. Lancaster, engineer who
designed the highway, Rufus Hol
in.. n. county commissioner, and offi
cials and engineers of the O.-W. R.
& N. company In attendance. Com
missioner Holman, with the consent
nf Commissioner Hoyt, authorized Mr.
Lancaster to take charge of the work
and do whatever seems necessary to
save the viaduct and remove the ice
rondltions which menace It.
Lateral I'reanure Feared.
The situation, as presented by Mr.
Lancaster, was not one of excessive
weight upon the span, but rather the
lateral pressure of an Ice sheet ex
tending from the highway up the
mountainside. The Ice, formed from
the "shot snow" and sleet of the
storm, has begun to creep down the
mountainside like a small glacier.
The weight of the mass Is pressing
against the viaduct with a force that
will shove it off the highway and
down upon the railroad tracks below
If something is not done to stop it,
according to Mr. Laneaster.
A. K. Grondahl of the county road
department and engineers of the rail
road accompanied Mr. Lancaster on
the train yesterday. The work has
been placed entirely in Mr. Lancas
ter's hands by Commissioner Holman
with instructions to take whatever
steps seem necessary when he ar
rives on the ground.
RrMponolbillty la Dodged.
The railroad has placed the respon
sibility on the county for removing
the hazard. Tlulr material and men
will be at the disposal of the county,
but the railroad engineers are accom
panying the party to see that no steps
are undertaken which in their opinion
will endanger the railroad trackage.
The viaduct east of Multnomah
Falls, as well as the one to the west,
required a peculiar type of construc
tion, according to Commissioner Hol
man, because they were built on a
loose rock or Talus slope along the
base of the mountain. The work
which had at first been enjoined by
the railroad company as endangering
the tracks, was accomplished by
means of V-shaped supports to the
viaduct In place of the usual pillar
type of construction.
Brace to Be Placed.
Mr. Lancaster, the engineer who
overcame the problem in the first
place, intends to brace the structure
from the lower side with timbers
reaching diagonally from the slope to
the outer edge. At the. same time he
will attempt to clear the snow and
ice above' so that it can no longer
run down upon the viaduct and
freeze.
A contract exists at present where
by the county would be held respon
sible for any damage resulting to
railroad property from the building
of the viaduct at that point. It was
entered into at the time the railroad
company withdrew its Injunction.
Mr. Lancaster has made two In-
snection trips up the highway since
the storm. On his return from the
first one, he called attention of the
commissioners to the condition of the
viaduct east of Multnomah Falls, but
was not backed by Commissioners
Hoyt and Rudeen In his recommenda
tions for relieving the danger. He
returned from a second inspection
late Saturday, declaring that condi
tions were becoming more serious.
His report led to Mr. Holman's au
thorization to take the matter in
hand.

any help you are able to give me. Sincerely,
MRS. E. S. O.
Any good, delicately made green
salad (with either plain dressing or
cheeaae dTessing, or Thousand Island
drejwtng) would be best, from the
point of view of "correctness" as well
a-s wholesomeness. If you preferred,
however, you could serve an apple
and celery salad, unless you have al
ready served apple sauce or apple
dressing or apple fritter or small
baked apples as an adjunct to your
goose. If nothing "appley" was
served with the goose, then an apple
salad would be a good choice.
Or you could serve some very sim
ple jellied "half-sweet" salad (but
not & sweet fruit salad) with French
dressing. Or a plain orange and cel
ery and lettuce heart salad with
French dressing.
For vegetables you would serve po
tatoes (either mashed or "Duchesse"
or browned in the oven or "au gra
tin," according to personal taste and
convenience). For the second vege
table you could use creamed or glazed
or stuffed onions (unless you have a
mutt and onion dressing, or onion
gravy) or peas, or cauliflower, or
brusnels sprouts, or squash, again ac
cording to your personal preferences
and convenience.
Usually apple sauce is served with
goose, or else tiny baked apples or
apple dressing or apple fritters, and
(unless they are disliked) onions
should appear In some form, either
In the Brewing or as a smooth brown
sauce, or as a vegetable.

say. unsuitable for a dinner salad,
unless at simple family dinners,
where it may be served as a combi
nation of salad and dessert. It may
also take the place of salad and des
sert in a simple "two-piece" lunch
eon or may be served most satisfac
torily as "refreshments' when only
one course, or at most two courses,
are served.
If a fruit salad Is served In a more
elaborate "company luncheon," It
should be simpler and smaller than

NEW BILLS AT
Orpheum.
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
i
T is asserted that every woman in
the world has at some moment of
her life 'been stage struck and vis
loned herself as knocking 'em off
their orchestra chairs when she ap
peared. Only a house-to-house can
vass among all us girls could settle
that assertion, but that same house-to-house
canvass would discover that
most of us when we were little maids
cherished a fond dream of growing
into a circus queen. Along about the
time we were reading Louisa M. Al
cott and outgrowing our dolls and
hoping our next pair of shoes would
have high heels, we changed our
plans of becoming a school teacher or
the mother of a hundred children, all
girls, and decided positively to be
a lady rider In a circus.
We visioned the packed circus ten-t
with people howling like mad while
we capered on the back of a creamy
satin-coated steed, pointing our toes,
blowing kisses to the enchanted audi
ence, our tulle skirts billowing and
spangles In our hair. What we did
not know was the long and weary
road to be traveled before the fairy
toes could point and the nimble body
leap through paper hoops. All we
saw was the finished product.
But circuses .have changed, and the
fairy lady in tulle who used to
pirouette on the big, wide back oi
the snowy steed is training her
children or her grandchildren, ac
cording to modern ways of circus
riding. Little girls, however, are
about the same today and yesterday,
and the kind that reads Louise M.
Olcott and wipes the dishes occa
sionally Isn't quite extinct, and so
there was a new crop of dreams and
re-vlsings of plans to grow into
school teachers, among little maids
who saw May Wirth.
May is yoiKh Incarnate, joyous and
bubbling over with fun and laughter
and
every movement of her agile
'body is an expression of vitality,
grace and beauty. She is a circus
queen, or rather a i-lrcus princess of
today, and she dresses quietly and
simply In a soft silk gown.
One of the great disillusions about
the circus woman of earlier days was
that she completely disappolneti one
at close range. Usually she was older
than one s grandmother. May v irth
can be viewed as a close-up. and the
process Is a pleasure. She is an
acrobat and apparently hasn't a bone
In her body, leaping and tumbling
off her horse and reaching his back
at a bound, somersaulting through
space to the tan bark only to somer
sault again onto the rapidly gallop
ing steed. She stands on her head
on Dobbin's back, and she dances and
points her toes as her predecessors
cf the tulle - skirted days never
dreamed could be done. May's brother
Phil is a clown and trick rider who
adds the comedy element in the act.
It's a most pretentious act all through,
sensational and daring in its exhibi
tion of riding and replete with in
terest and novelty. There are four
lovely snowy white horses used, and
besides the charming May Wirth and
Phil, there is mother, who is rlnsr-
mistress, and another Interesting girl i
and another clever man rider.
The act is beautiful in its setting
and has an added charm In its open
ing, when the two girls sing de
lightfully. Thomas Dugan Is a capital come
dian, one of the earnest variety who
doesn't laugh at his own jokes, leav
ing that for the audience to do.
Thomas drops down In an airship into
the backyard of an estate which
boasts an heiress and a butler. Both I
prove food and drink for Thomas
sarcastic thrusts, and the audience
chuckles throughout. Part of the
fun is provided in a tree which drops
an apple on Tommy's head every time
he tells a lie. Babette Raymond is
the gorgeously-gowned heiress.
Gertrude Moody, with a voice of
operatic caliber and tendencies In
that direction, and Mary Duncan with
a ragtime voice and shoulders and
ankles in that direction, are an In
teresting study in contrasts.
Harrison Greene, all done up as an
ebon porter, and Katherlne Parker,
his pretty partner, made up as a
'high jailer ' vampire, offer a capital
comedy adventure staged at the j
depot, where Harrison is pursuing his
vocation and Katherlne is on her way
to Join a troupe of actors. Their rep
artee is as funny as one of Roy Oc
tavus Cohan's darky dialect stories,
and the audience relishes it all.
Ralph Lohse and Nana Sterling
open the bill with a very fine aerial
act In which the physical strength
and beauty of Nana and the comedy
and athletic prowess of Ralph com
bine effectively.
Ed Ford is a physiognomist from
the land of the kangaroo. He tells
stories and recites, illustrating with
his face.
J. Rosamond Johnson Is an excel-
the "refreshment" salad. It could
then be served In the regular salad
course after the main course, and
followed by a light dessert, such as
Ice cream or a fluffy "whippy" sweet
dish.
A fruit cocktail makes a very good
beginning for a meal, but a fruit
salad should never be served as a
first course, for the same reasons
that pie or ice cream are not served
as a first course.

Interested in this deDartment. From
the line pictured on your coat tlvere
c'oes not seem much ot a scope upon
which to work for even with the
delightful combination you mention
there will still remain the seams.
Therefore the most satisfactory
treatment will be to have an under
skirt of the satin, using the broad
cloth in loose panels, two on either
side, trimmed in rat's tail braid, and
choosing a design -which will not be
too heavy for one of your height.
Should you desire a more elaborate
trimming. I would then advise an
outline of design made with the Jet
beads and the fill-ins made of French
knots, using the nufloss or celeste
silk for same. This combination is
being used on the more dressy type
of gowns. A waist having a slight

Hippodrome.
THE last few bills at the Hippo
drome have shown a number of
sketches and short musical farces of
Mghly meritorious character, and to
keep ' igood work going the new
bill opened yesterday is headed by a
syncopated musical treat, put on by
that popular musical comedy star,
Janet Alder, and a company of girls.
The performance is in every way
delightful; well costumed, pleasingly
tuned and spiced with the true vaude
ville flavor. The act Is a series of
popular songs and dances, punctuated
with solos that are enhanced with
chorus singing.
Jack Good and Bert Scott have the
funniest act on the programme. They
appear as a pair of colored comedians
and keep the house laughing until
their full time limit has been reached.
Their Jokes are not at all rusty and
they put them across the footlights
in good effect.
People, tempted to believe In
psychic phenomena, arc tempted still
more after they have seen and lis
tened to "Lore." who Is billed as "the
girl mystic marvel, she'll tell the
world." She almost does; at least she
tells the audience and they believe
her because she does her tricks so
cleverly that they defy detection.
Another clever woman on the new
bill is Maldle de Long, the baseball
bug, and baseball fans and anyone
else who knows anything about the
I great American game, appreciate her
I une of talk. The acrobatic part of
the programme is put on by the Sum
iners pair and is also very good.
Viola Dana stars in a pretty little
film comedy called "There Are No
Villains." Viola plays the part of a
secret service agent and gets in
wrong with her chief when she sym
pathizes and believes in a man she
nas been set to shadow. Her belief
is Justified in the end because the man
happens to be a secret service agent
from Washington. Of course she
marries him then, else it wouldn't
have the necessary happy ending.
She marries him because she believes
he will be arrested and as his wife
she can't be called to testify against
him. The secret service tries to stop
the wedding but after the preacher
has been put out of the apartment
by officers, he stands on the side
walk and marries them at the win
dow. This forms one of the most
pleasant parts of a very pleasant
film.

RAIL SERVICE AWAITED
Seven Cars or Apples Yet to Be
Moved From Parkdale District.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Dec. 4. (Spe
cial.) Frank Stanton, who has been
in charge of the Parkdale warehouse
and receiving station of Dan Wuille
& Co., local apple shippers, says that
about seven cars remain to be re
moved from that vicinity. The com
pany is awaiting resumption of serv
ice on the line of the Mount Hood
Railroad company. Several growers
of the district, who ship through the
distributing agency, still have apples
to be delivered to the company. Mr.
Stanton says. He walked the 20 miles
to Hood River, the rail line having
been tied up by snow and no motor
stages operating.
"The quality of the upper valley
crop has been good this year," gays
Mr. Stanton. "Some of the growers
there report that their apples will
run 75 per cent to extra fancy."

UNITY OF CHURCHES
SEEN BY MINISTER
Christianity Held to Mean
More Than Any Ism.
UNIFORMITY NOT GOAL
We Have Come to Realize We Can
not Live Apart," Declares
Rev. Edward Constant.
"Christianity means more than Pro
testantism or any other ism, so we
are learning to work together," de
clared Rev. Edward Constant, pastor
of Highland Congregational church,
yesterday morning. His subject was
"The Colleagues of God."
"The world has become alive to the
fact," said Rev. Mr. Constant, "that
humanity has a common life. We
realize that we are social beings. We
cannot live apart from the rest. The
individualism of a former time is
dying. Society looks with suspicion
upon one who isolates himself. Man
Is called to be a fellow to his broth
ers. He must take his place in the
team and play the game.
Vnlty. Not Uniformity, Goal.
"A drab and dreary uniformity
dulls the senses, so we are for unity,
but not uniformity. We seek for
unity in variety, for the harmony of
blended activities. As the soul of
creation Is one, so the life of the
church Is one, even though the voices
are myriad.
"The agencies for human better
ment are practically limitless. The,
spirit of God. however, broods over
all in spite of diversity In operation
This truth we are slowly apprehend
ing. The forces of righteousness are
perceiving the value of co-operation.
The spirit of love makes them divine
colleagues. What we term secular or
humanistic may be Just as much In
spired as what we call spiritual. Who
shall say where one leaves off and
the other begins? Any agency min
istering for the good of men may be
called sacred. The disciple of Jesus
will be ready to acknowledge the
good accomplished by others.
Minor Differences Forgotten.
"It Is no small gain that Christian
people are forgetting their minor dif
ferences and learning to co-operate.
From toleration we have moved Into
liberty and are now desiring unity.
Christianity means more than Pro
testantism or any other ism. so we
are learning to work together. We
find a readiness to recognize the
good done by all churches, from the
great historic bodies down to the
smallest communion. All have con
tributed in the work of advancement.
"The world has small use for sec
tarian propaganda, which is selfish
and belligerent, but it gives warm
approval to any undertaking which
makes for community welfare and
human uplift."
VALX-E OF MUSIC IS HIGH
"Good Song Is Infinite," Says Rev.
M. A. Christensen.
Rev. M. A. Christensen, pastor of
Our Savior's Lutheran church, spoke
yesterday on the value of music.
"Who can estimate the importance
of a song?" he said. "John Howard
Payne was not a success as an actor
and very commonplace as consul at
Algiers, but he won for himself Im
mortal fame by 'Home, Sweet Home.'
A good song is infinite. The sailor
carries It to foreign shores a song
knows no bounds It was Fletcher
who said, 'Let me write the ballads
of a country and I care not who
writes Its laws.'
"It la not generally known that
sbme of our dearest and most beau
tiful American songs were composed
by a tramp. He used to compose a
song In the morning, sell it by noon,
and be dead drunk before evening. In
the last years of his life he would
walk the streets of New York, shab
bily dressed and sad at heart. He
would often hear the newsboys whist
ling his tunes, but seldom was there
a face that smiled to him. His name
well. Stephen Collins Foster, born
in Pittsburg, died In New York, was
a contemporary of Abraham Lincoln.
He composed words and music to
about 160 songs. Here are some of
them: 'My O'd Kentucky Home.' 'Old
Black Joe,' 'Old Uncle Ned,' 'Come
u-v,.,. v,.'r. t.i. i.!,min'r' -w.v
Down Upon the Suwanee River," Oh
" " " 3 . "
Susanna," 'Old Dog Tray,' 'Nellie Was
a Lady,' 'Massa's in the Cold, Cold
Ground,' etc.
How could we observe music week
without these fine old American
songs? They are interwoven witn
some of the happiest memories of our
lives.
"Let us sing and forget care and sorrow.
Let us sine thlnktnK not of desnatr.
Let us sing thinking not of tomorrow.
For tomorrow perhaps may be lair.
VALUE OF RELIGION IS TOLI)
Strength of Character, Fortitude,
Love Developed, Says Pastor.
"Religion develops strength of
of chiracter, fortitude, hope and love
and all the gentle graces," said Rev.
George H. Bennett yesterday In
speaking on "Is Religion Worth
While?" at the Patton Methodist Epis
copal church.
" Take my yoke upon you,' said
Jesus, 'and ye shall find rest unto
your souls.' The great mission of
religion Is to comfort the broken
hearted, the souls undone by sin or
misfortune. 'To them that love God
shall all things work together for
good,' is God's promise. Love is the
price God demands for turning the
dross of your life into heavenly treas
ures. "The godly life is the life actuated
by clean thoug-tits and pure motives:
by reverence for things sacred and
divine. The consolation of such a
life is sure In spite of evils and mis
fortunes which sweep over It. Godli
ness turns temporal adversity into
spiritual and eternal riches and pros
perity. This is a law of the moral
kingdom. When God pronounced the
laws of labor, disappointment, pain
and death upon mankind, he also
promised a savior who would bruise
the serpent's head and who would
say: 'To them that love God shall all
things work together for good.' Re
ligion thus makes life in a world of
sin and woe endurable and worth
while.
"Godliness makes many an Invalid
an apostle of fortitude and gentle
ness, to show the haughty and selfish
the way to true riches. Godliness is
a civilising and reforming power. It
tends constantly In personal and com
munity life to reduce evil and Injus
tice to a minimum. It promotes Jus
tice, temperance, prudence and mercy;
and these in turn promote knowledge,
peace, industry and prosperity.
"The practical value of godliness is
seen In a comparison of the average
Christian, with the average heathen
in a savage land. The Christian Is
more abundantly fed, and has better
fcod; he la better clothed and better
housed: he Is better able to provide
fort his family; he has more comforts
and luxuries; he is better protected
against famine and disease and acci
dent: has greater knowledge and a
broader field of thought and has a
more hopeful and peaceful life. God
liness tends to reduce the evils of
famine, poverty, pestilence and war
to a minimum. Godlessness tends to
Increase those evils to a maximum.

owe every dollar of their prosperity
and every principle of righteousness
they ever advocated to the Bible
which they defamed."
PROPHECY IS SERMON' TOPIC
"Aaronltic Benediction" Discussed
by Rev. C. J. Lectin.
"The Aaronltic Benediction in Pro
phetic Light" was the subject on
which Rev. C. J. Ledin of the Swedish
tabernacle spoke last night.
"When God speaks, he speaks for
centuries." said Rev. Mr. Ledin. "In
this well-known benediction there Is
a dispensation. 'The Lord bless thee
and keep thee' applies to Israel In
Old Testament times. 'The Lord make
his face to shine upon thee and be
gracious unto thee' applies to the dis
pensation of grace in the New Testa
ment times. Christ came to manifest
God and the glory of God shone in
Christ, the son of God.
"When Israel rejected Christ and
crucified him, God et his face shine
upon the whole world and today we
are llvlnig In the dispensation of
grace, when the light of heaven
shines in Christ and God is gracious
to the world. The world, however,
rejects Christ, and the church of
Christ, which should be separated
from the world, is Joining hands with
the world.
"Christ is by many rejected as the
son of God. the light of heaven, and
the time is drawing nigh when the
fullness of the gentiles will come in.
Then shall the remnant of Israel, who
hae been faithful to Jehova and have
been as a people kept and preserved
during the dispensation of grace, be
purged in the great tribulation, until
the time when God shall lift his
countenence upon them and give them
peace. That will occur when the
prince of0peace shall come, when
Israel shall be saved and Christ shall
reign in glory on earth.
"Thus we see that the benediction
so often used Is a prophetic predic
tion of the dispensation of law, the
dispensation of grace and the dis
pensation of peace during the mil
lenlum." SOUTHARD IS REFUTED
LETTER SHOWS INTENTION TO
SEEK DIVORCE.
Officer's Denial Contradicted by
Epistle Written by Him to
Prosecuting Attorney.
BOISE. Idaho. Dec. 4. (Special.)
Although Paul Southard, petty officer
in the United States navy, denied the
report that he is seeking a divorce
from his wife, who is now serving an
indeterminate term in the state peni
tentiary for the murder of her fourth
husband, Edward Meyers, there is on
record at Twin Falls a letter from
Southard which is taken as clear
evidence of his intention. The letter
was addressed to Frank L. Stephan,
prosecuting attorney of Twin Falls,
the man who was more largely In
fluential in sending Southard's wife
to prison than any other, for he di
rected the prosecution. The letter
was as follows:
"Submarine Base, San Pedro, Cal.
Mr. Frayvk L. Stephan. Prosecuting
