MISS EDYTHE CHAPMAN'S GOWNS SEVENTEEN TRUNKS CARRY HER COSTUMES jT A DRESS .FOR EVERY SEPARATE PART jr ONE OF HER DEAREST TREASURES "With a simplicity of manner born of "frank Interest In the things that go on about her. Miss Edythe Chapman (Mrs. Nelll, as she is known In domestic life), spoke yesterday of some of the many phases- of life as she "sees it both from the street and the stage. She likes Port land, and her affection for it cannot he concealed. "I suppose one reason I like Portland so well Is that everybody is bo nice to us," said Mrs. Nelll. "We should like to be able to spend more time here, and Mr. Nelll has often spoken of buying a ranch. I think he will some day if we ever have money enough. I really think there are more pretty girls in Portland than any where else," Mrs. Nelll sold. "They all have such glorious complexions. It must be the clfcnate." It may be said that no amount of stage, make-up or dusty travel seems to have' had any bad effect upon -Edythe Chap man's own complexion, for It Is as clearly and rosily fresh as any .woman could de sire. "We have -found Portland to be. very much more metropolitan and iip to date than a great many other places we visit," she continued. "Our audiences here al ways take to the best in our repertoire. They are very metropolitan In their judg ment of a play, as If "they were accus tomed to large travel." Mrs. Nelll has a great wardrobe of beau tiful gowna, many of them from her own design, and is very fond of dress, as a normal and sensible woman should be. It requires 17 trunks to carry Edythe Chapman's wardrobe, and greatly to her consternation her maid is threatening her with another. She says it makes her 111 If she cannot have .gowns to suit every part, and as the plays are usually society plays, it re quires a great many elaborate ones. Among her treasures Is a white shawl of llama lace, worn by Alice Nellson in "Romeo and Juliet," and valued at $1000. Mrs. Nelll cares very, little for jewelry, and says that her mother's beautiful set of cameos, which she wears in "Barbara Frletchle," are about all she possesses. "One of my dearest treasures." she said, "is the costume I wore as Cinders, in 'Iost Paradise.' You know you can take clothes and tear them to strings, but they won't have the genuine worn-out look; so we hunted all over Cincinnati before We found what we wanted. The dress was ragged and worn enough; hut It had to look as if it had really come off an ash heap; so my maid cleaned out the inside of a stove with It I had some ragged and grimy old shoes and. stockings, too, and the whole make-up wa3 fine." Mrs. Nelll has the volco and manner of a Southern woman, but says it is only because she has lived with a Southerner so long. to. Nelll himself being a true son of the South. A part she Is very fond of playing la Gertrude Ellingham, the Vir ginia girl. In "Shenandoah," and she re calls with much tender pride the "love of a riding hat" she wore in that play, a hat as different from the stiff, modern derby as day from night It was of brown ONE OF THE STAGE'S BEST-GOWNED WOMEN )(H ' MISS EDYTHE CHAP3IA?r. This sown of white nun's veiling Miss Chapman wears in "The Lottery of Lore." velvet a big, shadowy, softly-plumed af fair, with a sort of romantic cavalier ex pression, one of the kind that will make a lovely face lovler and even a plain face bewitching. VPortland women certainly know how to dress," said, Mrs. Nelll. "The clothes they wear on the street arc all well made and have such a well-bred look. In some places you see people shopping in things that would be entirely suitable for a re ception, but here everybody wears neat tailor gowns on the street Simplicity Is swelldom," said Mrs. Nelll with convl tlon., ''I 'have watched the girls coming out of the "matinee here times when I came away before the end of the play, and could see them from my room window and it looked just like Broadway." Like every other visitor to Portland, Mrs. Nelll earnestly Inquired the way to an Indian basket emporium, but in the midst of an enthusiastic description of at tractions In this line she had to go to rehearsal. PHILOSOPHER DOOLEY'S LETTpR HE AIRS HIS VIEWS ON EXPLORATION OF THE ARCTIC AND FINDING THE NORTH POLE -r-HIS here business lv Artie explor 1 ation's th' gran' pursoot" said A Mr. Dooley. "A gran', comfort able, flghtln', quarrelln' business." "What's It all about?" asked Mr. Hen nessy. "Why shud anhywan want to go to th' North Pole? Ain't It cold enough here?" "I nlver cud quite make it out" said Mr. Dooley. "I've heerd tell that years ' ago, befura th Are or th war, -some wan had an idee In his foolish head that they was a gran sea up there with blue wather dlmplln' In th' moonlight an' cocynut threes growln' on th' shore, an' if a man cud on'y get In with his boat he cud sail around th' wurruld an' fetch up In Chiny. That Idee blew up, an' thin somo wan said 'twud be a fine thing fr science if a white man cud get to th' North Pole. What he'd do if he got there' no wan has anny thought Accordln to what I hear th' North Pole ain't like a tillygraft pole, a barber pole, a flshin pole, a clothes pole, a polecat a poll tax, a Maypole, a Russhyan Pole, or anny thlng that ye can see, smell or ate.

"In th' arly days whin an explorer wlnt off to find th pole, he bought hlmsllf a sheepskin coat a couple lv dogs, a pair Iv skates, an a bottle iv pickled onions, an set out bravely an th' people watched th' fam'ly to see what other form th lunacy wud take.

About Christmas time th good woman wakes ye up to look fr th' burglar, an' after ye've paddled around in th ice floe fr a week, ye climb back into bed, grumblln', and so to sleep again. After awhile ye snore, an th wive lv ye'er bosom punches ye. "What time Is it?" says ye.

Tho Portland Art Class resumes its Accuracy of Last Map .Questioned Commissioner Hermann Anxious for Correct Detail. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. D. C, Sept. 22. (Special.) The General Land Qfilce. under the personal direction of Commissioner Hermann, la now engaged In studying very carefully all authorities tending to throw light upon the expedition of Lewis and Clark. This study was occasioned by the recent letter of Captain John Mullan, formerly of the United States Army, in which he questioned the accuracy of the route as marked on the last edition of United States maps prepared by the General Land Ofllce. It Is the desire of Commis sioner Jlermann to have every detail of this map accurate, and to the best of his belief no error was made in the last edi tion Nevertheless, It is proposed to give this question every possible consideration, and If authority is found which would warrant a change, the alteration will be made. In his letter to the Commissioner Cap tain Mullein does not cite authority sus taining his belief that the map is incor rect. The portion of the routo in ques tion, as previously stated In these, dis patches, lies between the summit of the Rocky Mountains in Montana and the ppolnt where Lewis and Clark discovered the Snake River in Idaho. Captain Mul lan also calls attention to tho fact that President Roosevelt, In his "Winning of the West." pays much attention to the trip of Lewis and Clark, and no doubt would want no error made on an official map in portraying the route they tra vorsed. He therefore suggests thjrt two members of the Land Ofllce force "bo de tailed to' investigate more fully and re port upon the true route, and that If an error has been made that it be altered at once. In his letter Captain Mullan says in part: "Having spent tho greater part of the 10 years from 1853 to 1EC3. when an officer of thrt Regular Army of the United States. In official geographical and top ographical explorations of those parts of the Rocky Mountains connected with the expedition of 1853, which was the 'second across the continent whose explorations extended from-tho 45th to the 49th degree of north latitude, for the purpose of as certaining and determining the proper line for the then proposed Northern Pa cific Railroad, and having traveled and traversed In those years many mlle3 of the routes actually traveled by Lewis and Clark in ISte.and ISOSf from tho Missouri River to the Pacific Oce'hn, during which time I acquired a correct, if not an inti mate, knowledge of all the routes actual ly traveled across the Rocky and Bitter Root Mountains by Lewis and Clark, dur ing those years, and being the only officer now living of the expedition of 1853 which explored that particular portion of the American Continent south of the Coeur d'Alenc River In Northern Idaho and south of the. Missoula or Bitter Root River In Western Montana, Is the reason of my desire to see correctly delineated upon any official map of the United States and Territories which may "be issued from your ofllce the exact routes traveled across Western Montana and Northern Idaho by Lewis and Clark, the bold, in trepid, pioneer explorers of the western portion of our continent, the story of whose exploring expedition from tho Mis souri River to the Pacific Ocean in 1803, 1S04 and 1E05 reads like. a romance more return route of Lewis ana Clark, when traveling eastward In 1805, -was from Snake-River at its junction with the main Clearwater River; thence "via. the main Clearwater River (then and now called by the Nez Perce3 Indians, through whose country It flows, tho 'Koos-koos-kee River); thence across the Bitter Root Mountains in Northern Idaho via the Lo Lo Pass and the Lo Lo fork of the Bitter Root River to the main Bitter Root River in Western Montana near and south of the present site of tho town of Missoula, in Montana. "From the Junction of the Lo Lo fork of the Bitter Root Rrver and the main Bitter Root River, one portion of Lewis and Clark's expedition, under Captain Clark, traveled southward up the Bitter Root River (called the Missoula River by tho -Flathead Indians, through whoso Sbuntry it flows) to the Wisdom River (one of the head branches of the Missouri River), through the Big Hola Valley to the Beaver Head River; thence via said, leaver Head River to Its Junction with' the Jefferson fork of the Missouri River; thence via the Jefferson fork of the Mis souri River to the main Missouri River; thence via the Missouri River to tho great falls of that river, near the present site of Fort Benton.
