LARGE AUDIENCE SEES END
AH Join in Singing "Auld Lang
Syne" as Curtain Falls for the
Close of What May Be ''
'the Lasti Show. .
An audience that Ailed the Marquam
Grand Theater to the doors bid fare
well .to the popular playhouse last
night. It was grand opera that saw
the opening of the house and minstrel
sy that saw its end a fine effect In
anti-climax.- Intervening between these
two performances lay ihe whole gamut
of theatrical productions."
Merry as was the programme, last
night was a solemn occasion. The audi
ence made it- such. After all, more ro
mance and sentiment arc associated
with the old theater than any other in
stitution of Portland. Most Interesting
would bo the statistics that could
show how many courtships have, been
fostered under the magic speil of some
fine old production and how Important
a place it has been In the affections of
many a Portlandcr. For as a place
whore we go when the day's cares are
done away with there cannot help but
be a whole lot of happy recollections
of evenings spent under the frescoed
roof.
Sing Auld Lnng Syne.
Possibly never before has the clos
ing of a theater been marked by a
similar incident as marked the end
of ant night's performance. As Mr.
Primrose, the minstrel, put It in a
neat little speech, the closing of a the
ater is generally brought on by ex
treme old nge or condemnation or non
support by the public or by financial
complications. But proHpority has marked
the Marquam's course throughout and
the last audience joined with a min
strel quartet in singing the touching
words of "Auld Lang Syne." There
was but one person left the theater
before this mark of regard. That one
person was an oxtremely young man
with a five-inch collar who bolted from
a seat in the front row.
The audience was not what could be
termed a typical minstrek audience.
There were many present who prob
ably never saw such a show before
Many of the fuccs wore the same com
monly seen at grand opera' and dra
matic productions of the highest order.
They came to see the place ushered out
of use. Probably hcy had never real
ized how deep tlie place had rooted
Itself in their affections.
Every Seal Filled,
Long before curtain Ixlme every seat
in the house . was occupied with at
least a hundred people standing. Few
came in late, and this showed the
change of public habit in theater going
since opening night for according to
the accounts published of that event
of 16 years ago .the rendition of
"Faust" was greatly' detracted from by
the late arrival of society. And speak
ing of that first performance there
wefe several persons present last
night who saw the -Marquam ushered
into Borvlce. Among this number were
J. C- Klngsley. Ney Churchman. E. W.
Wright, B. B. Beekman. Mrs. Catherine
Maxwell. Mr. and Mrs. L- IL MaxwclL
S. H. Frlendlander. P. H. Nlcoll. W. C
Holman and I. "W. Balrd.
The minstrel show wan good and th
audience seemed to enjoy it. It waa
good enough so that the regrets that
the Marquam could not havo a higher
order of farewell soon passed away.
While there was plenty of good lively
fun in the thing yet there were manr
solemn moments such as fitted in with
the mood of the audience. The finale
with the singing of good old darkey
songs of the more serious type, was
most effective
Mr. Primrose Speaks.
Following this Mr. Primrose stepped
to the stage and spoke briefly. H
paid it was tbcHrst time he had ever
seen a theater close In a halo of glory
and that while he always felt picture
at christening a theater here was a
great deal of sorrow in ushering it out
of use. In closing he compared the
occasion to New Year's, to "the" usher
ing out of the old Marquam and the
ushering in .of the new Bclasco."
The fate of the old Marquam seems
1.0 he in some doubt at this time.
Whether It will be converted Into a
department store or put to some other
theatrical use i6 undetermined. A
great deal of changing will be neces
sary to make it meet the fine-ordinance
requirements as regards ' J. exits asd
this, too, shows the advancement In the
fdea" of preserving life from an ele--iHt
et danger. Sixteen years age
I
the old theater tras hailed a a perfect
structure, the finest in the JJorthwest.
If not on the Coast.
First Performance
A Great Success
Tr; AUDIENCE that was described as
rthe most fashionable gathering ever
seen in Portland attended the opening of
the Marquam theater on the evening of
February 10. "Faust" was presented
by an English- Opera Company, led by
Emma Juch. The theater was pack'cd
from pit to foyer and from foyer to cell
ing, and the event was made the occasion
of much enthusiasm. The management
of the theater at that time was in the
hands of Al Hayman. of New York. The

" HEftT FRANCHISE
(Continued From Pace l.
such a diversity of necessities heat, light,
power and storage the dtv and Its inhab
itants should be guaranteed adequate and
properly regulated service. As the ordi
nance stands, the 64 ty and the public are
guaranteed absolutely nothing. There
should be a provision compelling the
grantee to be ready within two year, or
such reasonable time as mar be fixed
upon, to furnish steam heat, electric light
and power and cold storage to all the in
habitants of the City of Portland, or to
the district specified. There should be an
other provision requiring that maps and
plans for all pipes, wires and conduits
should be filed with the Auditor, and ap
proved by the Executive Board, or City
Engineer, before work thereon shall be
commenced.
What City eeds to Guard.
In this way the city will have an oppor
tunity to guard against unnecessary or
improper interference with Its own sys
tem of water pipes, wire, etc. and also
to prevent any unnecessary ufo of any of
the streets, so as to Interfere with other
similar systems that may seek privileges
in the future. Our streets are narrow,
and the space should be economized under
some definite system, and the city,
through its City Engineer, should main
tain a grip on and control of that system.
There should be another provision re
quiring the grantee to perform these con
ottlons within a specified time, and in dc-
fault thereof, that the franchise be for
feited. A bond of at least should
be required to insure specific performance
on the part of the company, to be filed
when the ordinance is accepted. Referring
to the schedule of r&les and charges con
tained In section 4 of the ordinance there
Is no reservation of power to call the
company to account, nor to regulatp or
fix reasonable rates from time to time.
Reservation of Power.
The ordinance should not only fix the
maximum rates now. -but should contain
reservation of power in the Council, or
Executive Board, to revise and alter the
same in Ihe future In order to prevent
unreasonable charges, should the cot of
production materially decrease. Referring
to ycUon 1 of the ordinance, which re
quires thft grantee to pay annually to the
Citv of Portland 1 per cent-of its gtws
receipts for the preceding year as com
pensation. I regard this amount as too
low for the privilege granted by the ordi
nance As it Is now framed, this ordi
nance grants privileges as sweeping as
any ever granted to a public utility cor
poration in Portland, and gives I lie
gran toe the use of .the busiest and most
Important streets In the city, and It Is
no argument against charging the Ban-fleld-Vcysey
Fuel Company a fair com
pensation to say that the companies now
engaged in similar enterprises have been
granted similar franchlrcs for nothing.
We arc" now controlled by the charter en
acted In iscif, which forbids the granting
of such franchises without exacting fair
compensation for the city. The charter
now provides that In fixing such compen
sation we may take Into consideration the
handicap which it may entail upon the
grantcj as-against cxiftlng franchises.
Says It Is Unfortunate.
It Is indeed unfortunate that ordinances
granting such franchises in former years
did not reserve appropriate powers re
specting the exaction of compensation,
and Other regulations, but the realization
of past neglect, or oversight, makes cau- 1
tion and circumspection In the present '
only t. s more Imperative The laying of ;
pipes wires and conduits will entail perl- i
oub inconveniences and Interfere with ,
street traffic for a long period, and the
necessary repairs and alterations from
time to time will necessitate frequent ex
cavations and digging up of streets. The
schedul of raves and charges provided in
the ordinance la connection with the esti
mate of yearly expenditure for mainte
nance, operating expenses and extension
of plant, justify the conclusion that the
company will be in receipt of large reve
nues made possible by tbo use of the pub
lic streets, and 1 per cent of the cross re
ceipt k is entirely inadequate compensation !
ior mat use. .Moreover, tne proposca or
dinance granting franchises to the Mount
Hood Electric Company and the Cascade
Power Company, to operate electric llsht.
heat and power systems, fix the compen
sation to be paid for these franchises at
2 per cent of the gross receipts.
Objects to Discrimination.
While I disclaim any intention hereby
of expressing any opinion, or even of In
dicating my opinion as to whether or not
S per cent of the gross receipts is suffi
cient compensation for those two fran
chises. I am of tlie opinion that there Is
no occasion for discrimination between
mime iiro iruiciiiscs aiiu uic u;ic unacr
consideration. No franchise should be
parted with by the city which does not
under reasonable and proper provisions
provide for a revocation of all powers,
rights and privileges parted with by the
city. I consider this a consideration of
the greatest Importance of alL Equitable
terms should be granted and every in
ducement offered for the Investment of
capital, yet the key to tb situation, which
It might be of the utmost importance to
unlock, should always be kept In the
hands of the people, from whom all rights
and privileges arc derived. .This fran
chise 1 protected by no such safeguard,
and for that If for no other reason,
should not be granted. Respectfully
your. HARRY LANE. Mayor.
Mayor Offered Suggestions.
When informed of the Mayor's action
relative to his franchise, it- C Ban
fleld. president cf the Banfleld-Vcysey
Fuel Company. ;last night expressed
lKtle surprise on the subject, saying
that His Honor bad earlier In the day
teld him of his Intentions.
He read over portions of the veto
message to me," said Banaeld, "at
the same time oCeriag various sugges
tions embodying his Meaa as to the
Ictat of a fraacaiee we osght te ask
far; but we shall never apply for aay
franchise to miH Dr. Lane, becaaee if
- MA it would-be eCckt character
that we wewleat have it.
He

safeguarding the public, but la - r
estimation the best war te protect the
public is to throw epaa the ders and
let everybody cose In d spend their
money, and not adept method best
calculated te keep capital away frem
this city.
Lane's Quaint Theories.
-If every legitimate means Is taken
to attract enterprises here, the public
protection 4da would work out Its
own salvation. In my opinion the
Mayor is endowed with some very
nttalnf IhMrlM nsan fhl stlbieCL. aad
while In the. act of safeguarding the1
public he la no doubt inadvertently
playing Into the tends of the Standard
Oil Company, which everybody knows
controls the Portland General Electric
Company, and which will oppose any
project that threatens opposition. .
"Every obstacle that he or anybody
else places In the way of new concerns
Is a severe handicap on them, and
operates Indirectly as a. serious menace
to the people's Interests. The Mayor
wants us to amend our franchise In
such a manner that it would be to
tally useless for any purpose. The
charter Impose conditions upon us
that we cannot get away from, without
the necessity of our enumerating every
little detail.
Thinks Measure Will Tass.
-
"I have talked with several of the
Councllmen who opposed the franchise
when it came up for adoption, and
feel certain that enough of them hare
reconsidered the matter to pass the
measure over the Mayor's veto. They
did not understand It sufficiently at
the lime they voted against It. but
since thcnithey have studied Its pro
visions more carefully, and I am satls-
fled will be with us next time."
Councllmen Mencfee, Rushlight.
Sharkey and Vaughn, who voted
against the passage of the ordinance
granting the franchise, announced last
night that they could see no reason for
changing their views. Tnder the char
ter 12 votes are required to pass a
franchise over executive disapproval.

councilman ueiaing. the other mem
ber of the hod vnllnr nnlntt f S
measure, could not be reached last
night. Consideration of the Mayor's
veto will be the first order of busi
ness at the meeting of the Council next
Wednesday evening.
TWO MOI1E VETOES GIVEN
People's Market Franchise and East
Side Fire Limits Disapproved.
Th Mayor also vetoed the ordinance
granting a franchise to the People's" Mar
ket Association, for the use of block 132
as a public market. Jn returning the
message to tlie Council His Honor said:
I herewith return ordinance No. li2S3 to
you ror rurther consideration. This ordi
nance anfends an ordinance. Vn n n-
wtalch grants a franchise and the use for
23 years of a block of land lying between
Second and Third streets and Clay ana
Market streets, to be devoted to use as a
public market. Among" the conditions
upon, which the franchise was granted
was one to tlie effect that the said mar-
ki company was to erect a brick build
ing 63 by ?K feet In dimension tinon that
plat of ground within a period of six
months from the date of the final passage
of said ordinance No. 1X2. The ordi
nance was finally passed August 7. ISC.
Inasmuch as no such brick building has
wen errciea oy xne market company, and
over two years nave eiansea since th or
dinance was passed. It seems to me that
tne grant has expired.
It is to be said. too. that the original
grant contemplated and -specifically pro
vided that the property be used for mar
ket purposes, and such Duraose onlv.
whercas the amended ordinance, which I
have here vetoed, allows the grantee to
rent out certain portions of the property
i or any tawiui purposes wnicn ce sees lit.
which is a distinct departure from the in
tention of the original franchise, aad In
relation to which It may be said further
inai it entirely ennnges every feature or
the original agreement relating net ealy
io uic use oi me property out to tne terms
of compensation to be paid as well, and
which will, in my opinion, prove a bed
bargain fot-ibe city. Whereas, rents from
property all over this city are going up.
this ordinance, bv allowing the erection
of a building of one-half the area of that
provided for In the original grant, vir
tually reduces the rental one-half, and
will be a serious reflection upon the meth
ods adopted in the management of the
city's affairs by Its representatives if
passed by your hosorable body.
I have asked the City Attorney to in
vestigate the facta relating to this fran
chise; with a view of ascertaining what
are the cltys rights In respect to a for
feiture of said franchise.
In returning the ordinance without his
approval defining certain East Side fire
limits. Mayor Lane expressed himself
thus:
It has been rcnreMnted to me by a
number of persons that the enactment of
this law would seriously Interfere with
the erection of buddings and consequent
Improvement of property In certain low-
lying lands situated oa the east side of
the river. That in seme instances it
would prohibit the erection of buildings
In what Is a. rapidly- growing district,
whereas an ordinance ciaUar prevision
for the erection of slow-burning struc
tures would answer every useful purpose
of protection.
It has been urged also that the territory
mentioned in this ordinance lacladea lands
lying In districts, notably that lying be
tween Hawthorne -aveaue aad East Clay,
street, west of Grand aveaue. where the
conditions ot business ana. rarroemMag
property are suca as set te require brick
structsre- cither for safety er baateeas
purposes, aad If eaferced would work
great hardship upea the owners of sach
property.
I therefore return Uric ardtoawce te yea
that yea may leek late the matter far
ther.

Engineers of the Portland Railway
Company are-In -the field surveying a
vouie to Council Crest, and It Is safe to
fay that work on the construction of a
line to that place will, begin within a tew
days. F. I. Fuller, president of the com
pany, confirmed the report last night that
the engineers of the company were sur
veying the route and making estimates
as to the probable cost, but rerusea to
state definitely that the line would be
built. But from a reliable source ot In
formation it has been learned that the
company will build the line as soon as
possible.

ways Company, and for this reason win.

Property In the vicinity of Council Crest
to the extent of CSO.OCO Is Involved In the
transactions which have been practically
closed. A deal Is on to purchase 23 acres
of the Smith estate, which Is situated
on Council Crest, and S75.CCO has been
offered for the tract. It Is said that this
deal Is practically closed, and that the
papers, will be signed Monday.
Talk of Fine Hotel. -The
persons who arc negotiating for. the.
purchase of this tract are not known,
but It has been intimated that it is the
United Railways Company. This Is sim
ply a matter of conjecture. Those who
are after the property havo carried on
their negotiations through an agent, who
has refused to state what Interests he
represents. Leland Smith and Van An
derson have leased part ot the tract.
wnich they have announced will be made
Into an amusement park. But there are
negotiations for th purchase of the
lsase. and It Is believed that this deal
will be consummated. Another transac
tion which Involves ioO.000 Is virtually
closed.
The theory has been advanced that a
hotel will bo erected on Council Crest.
Various men have from time to time
figured on building a hotel there. H. C
Bowera had long planned to build a
hostelry there, but now that he has de
cided to accept the position ot manager
of the Fairmount Hotel In San Francisco
he has abandoned the Idea.

IS THIS WHAT AILS V0U?
If "the Symptoms Pit Your Case, Remember "A
- Disease Once Known is Half Cured."
Feel feverish ? Have headache? Back
ache? In fact, "ache all over?" Havo'
occasional chill f sensations? Appetite
gono? Tongue furred ? Bad taste, espe
cially In morning? Bad. foul breath?
PerhaDS nansea. or "sickness at stom-1
ach" occasroT!2!ly? Feel weak, tired,!
Dine and discouraged?
Tho above are symptoms common to
stomach and liver derangements and
often procItf attacks of fever and mal
arious affections, grip, bronchitis, and
"Inmr fever," or pneumonia.
Whichever ailment they point to, vou
may b sure that it is best to $et rid of
them as soon as possible by putting your
system to rights, rc-gulatlng, toning up
and invigorating stomach, liver and
bowels, and thus purifying your blood
and system and enabling it to throw off
the attack.
For the above purpose, medical science
has as yet produced no better agent than
Dr. Pierco'd Golden Medical Discovery.
It Is not a secret, or patent medicine, all
its IngrcdionU being printed on tho bottle
wrapper. It Is tho proscription of a well
known and experienced physician. It
contains no alcohol or other harmful,
habit-forming atrcnts chemically pure.
triple-re fined glycerine being used both
as a solvent and preservative of the med
icinal extracts of which ItMs composed.
It Is made from the following native.
American medicinal roots: Golden Seal
root, Qneen's root, Stone root. Blood root,
Mandrake root and Black Chcrrybark.
The medicinal properties of these are ex
tracted by exact and peculiar processes
with the use of chemically pure, triple
refined glycerine, of proper strength, and
by means of apparatus and appliances
devised for this special purpose, and in
such a way as to produce, a most perfect
pharmaceutical compound.
As to the superior curative properties
of some of the above Ingredients, we can
only give room here for a very few of the
briefest extracts from standard medical
works, but more complote Information
will ba sent you, free of charge. In pam
phlet, form. It you will send your address,
plainly written on postal card or-by let
ter, to Dr. B. V. Pierce, Buffalo, jft. Y.,
with a request for the same.
Of Golden Seal root Prof. Bartholow?
of Jefferson Medical College,says: "Very
useful as a stomachic tonic (stomach
tonic) and in atonic (weak stomach) dys
pepsia. Cures gastric catarrh (catarrh
of stomach) and headaches accompany
ing the same. Chronic catarrh
of the Intestines; even if it has proceeded
to ulceration. Is remarkably benefited by
Hydrastis-(Golden Seal). It may
be. given as a remedy for intermittent,
chronic and malarial poisoning, and en
larged spleen of malarial origin."'
From "Organic Medicines," by Grover
Co. M. D., of New York, we extract tho
following: "Hydrastis (Golden Seal) ex
erclss an especial Influence over mucous
smrfacaa. Upon the liver It acts with
equal certainty and efficacy. A3 a chol
agogne (liver Invlgerator), It has few
equate. In affections of the spleen, and
abdominal viscera generally, it Is an
eftkleat and reliable remedy. Also in
screfala, glandular diseases generally,
cutaneoas eruptions. Indigestteo. debility,
dtarrhfiea and' dysentery, constipation,
piles and all morbid and critical dis
charges." Dr. Coe farther says r "Hydrastis

Walla should Have a team in the North
west Baseball League. It was decided this
,rnorninj- to abandon the scheme. It was
aeciaca mat not suincicnt Time remained

hold a prominent place in the league.
Wife Asks for Divorce.
Florence Gcnaberg has sned Ben Gens
berff for a, divorce in the State Circuit
Court because of infidelity, "and she also
asks that her maiden name. Marks, bo
restored to her. The litigants were mar
ried on November 23, 1S05.
Prof. John 3T. Scudder,. D., of Cin
cinnati, says of Golden Sealj. "It stimu
lates the digestive processes and Increases
tho assimilation of food. By these means
tho blood Is .enTiched. "In rela
tion to Its "general effects on the sys
tem, there Is no medicine in use about
which there is such general unanimity
of opinion. It is universally regarded
as the tonic useful In all debilitated
ststcs"
As to Stone root, the American Dip
fen'satorv says : "In diseases of stom
ach and Intestines Improves appetite,
promotes flow of gastric juice; tonic
effect upon organs Involved. A good
remedy in indigestion, dyspepsia, chronic
gastritis. Increasing the secretion from
kidneys and skin."
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., of
Bennett Medical College, Chicago, says
of Stone root: "In catarrhal gastrltic
(Inflammation of stomach) where the
circulation is defective, It, either alon
or combined with hydrastls. Is of first
importance. They Increase the appetite
and greatly Improve the digestion and
assimilation of food. Is a heart
tonic sit direct and permanent influence.
Excellent In the bicycle heart. In rheu
matic inflammation and clergyman's sort
throat,"
All the other ingredients entering into
the composition of "Golden. Medical Dis
covery" are equally' praised for their
curative effects in all stomach, liver and
bowel affections and five of them for
bronchial, throat and lung affections
attended with severer cough, expectora
tion and kindred symptoms.
But yon had best read for yourself the
"words of praise" written concerning
each and every Ingredient of this marvel
ously efficacious medicine by leading
medical practitioners, and writers. This
you can do by writing for the booklet
mentioned in the preceding column. No
other medicine for like purposes, has any
such professional endorsement aswGoIdon
Medical Discovery," which should have
more weight than all the ordinary testi
monials so lavishly flaunted before the
public by those who are afraid to publish
their formulas that the search light of
Investigation may be turned upon them.
It Is well to know what one takes into
the stomach whether In the form of food,
drink or medicine.
From the same little book of extracts
mentioned above It will readily be seen
why Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
works such marvelous cure3 In those
chronic and distressing diseases peculiar
to women. In all cases of pelvic catarrh
with weakening drains, bearing or "drag-glng-down"
pains or distress, aad in all
monthly or periodical derangements and
irregularities, the "Favorite Prescrip
tion' will be found to be made of just
the right ingredients to meet and euro
the trouble.
Your druggist sells the "Favorite
Prescription " and also the "GoiiDen
Medicai. Disco vxry." Write to Dr.
Pierce about your case. He Is an experi
enced physician and will treat your caso
as confidential and without charge for
correspondence. Address bin as directed
