Her word Is law and bhe is as much feared by Indians as she is by the white nien under her com mand. In course of time the abandoned daugh ter appears as a Western girl, and, dur . lng an impressive scene, the queen of the highway discovers their relationship. The mother then endeavors to save the girl from the Indians and robbers and tries to give information which will prevent the stage coach holdup which she has planned. The advi ntures of the daughter are thrilling, and among: other things she is bound to a chair while a drunken In dian tries to kill her. and In his efforts breaks a lighted lamp. The end is as dramatic as any other part of the play, the interest being main tained to the end. The Queen of the Highway meets a violent death; the daughter falls into safe hands, and the band of outlaws Is wiped out. There will be matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Manager French will give a spectacular production, as unlimited scen ery. Is needed. There will be a stage coach, horses and all the "atmosphere" of the wild West. Seats are now selling for all perform ances. - "A STKAXGEK IX NEW YORK" Baker Company in the First of Hoyt Plays Next Week. Who has not heard of Hoyfs "A Stranger in New York?" Baker Company patrons have been asking when they are going to get a Hoyt show, and the announcement Is now made for the first time, that this, one of the very best of all this comedy playwright's famous creations, will follow "The Love Route" and open next Sunday matinee. Septem ber 22. "A Milk White Flag." "Black Sheep" and others packed the Baker to the doors at every performance last year, and theatergoers' appetites are now whetted to the keenest edge for these great musical laughing shows. Several new ones are promised for the coming Winter season. "For Mother's Sake" at Empire. Following "The Little Prospeotor" at the Empire and opening Sunday matinee, September 22. a play new to Portland, "For Mother's Sake,'' Is announced as the bill. Wherever this popular drama has been presented It has met with un mistakable proofs of appreciation. It is strong in action, effective and enjoyable on account of Its situations and the bril liancy and crlspness of its dialogue. i& rich and artistic scenic display in con nection with a well-balanced company, completes one of the most finished per formances In the shape of melodrama that will visit Portland this season. HEADLINERS AT THE GRAVD Big Eastern Vaudeville Acts Are on This Week's Bill. Still they come, the best of Eastern vaudeville headllners. The Grand has them, for they are booked by Sullivan & Consldlne in their New York and Chicago offices. "Bllnkey, the Jail bird," is the title of the act which tops the new programme beginning tomorrow. It will be played by Budd Rose and company, his associates being Eugene Weber and Madeline Win throp. This comedy skit was written especially for Mr. Ross, and has been received with favor in all the best of the Eastern vaudeville theaters. An other act of importance will be Sing Fong Lee, the world's greatest Chinese virtuoso. Chinese Tn vaudeville are scarce, but Sing Fong Lee Is not an experiment. He la genuine, and has established himself as a novel enter tainer. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. O'Brien have ' one of those singing and talking play lettes which the public enjoys so much. Their songs are new, their costumes modish and their dialogue Is filled with ginger and there is a laugh In each line they speak. The O'Briens have had many nice notices and if they are half so good as the managers along the circuit say they are, the act will be worth walking a mile to witness. Eddy Sawyer will be a sensation. He is an aerial artist, spectacular and en tertaining. The act of Mr. Sawyer ranks high In the profession, and when professionals say a good word about another act It is extra good. The Pryors, Billy and Alma, have prepared a sketch for the smart set. In which they introduce "Lazy Liz," the girl who can dance. There is nothing sleepy about the act of the Pryors. Blackface comedians are Invariably popular. Tralnor and Mohler are two funsters who wear burnt cork, and their jokes are right from the fac tory. Joe Thompson, of course, will be heard in another of those sentimental ballads which he knows so well how to sing, and the Orandiscope has se cured another new film from France. This evening closes the bill which has been running the past week, and it will be the last appearance of Al Jolson, the Immensely popular comedian. NOTED SINGERS AT PANTAGES Famous Bell Trio Signed on New Week's Bill. Did you see the moving pictures of the Burns-Squires championship fight at Pantages this week? This Is your last chance to see the only original pictures of that brief but lively struggle. The Pantages film is remarkably lifelike and clear. You see every blow that was 6truck, including the final knockout. This is but one of numerous big fea tures which have gone to make the show of the week Just closing a phenomenal success. The five renowned jugglers, the novelty musicians, the Ingenious acrobats and all the others cannot fail to enter tain you. For the new bill which opens Monday, the bookings are exceptionally good. By way of a headltner, the management has signed up the Bell Trio, known as the best vocalists In vaudeville. They sing comic and popular airs. All have voices ot rare quality which blend remarkably well in trio work. These clever song sters will prove a surprise to you. Second on the list comes Stewart and resmond, two clever character comed ians In an original and highly-amusing production entitled, "The Hebrew Detec tive." It is a roar from beginning to end. Wells and Sells have long since made good in their acrobatic novelty, the trick cottage act. This Is not only unusually clever but is productive of a constant round of laughter while these two star performers are on the stage. Moss, the equillbrlstlc juggler, does original feats that approach very near to the impossible. He is followed by the Wallace sisters, captivating singers and dancers. Jean Wilson, the favorite baritone whose popularity is ever on the increase, will sing a new Illustrated song and the biograph will present a new comedy film. THE OAKS TO KEEP OPEN. Manager Freeman Will Inaugurate Winter Amusements at Park. The Oaks Is the prettiest spot in all the Northwest these Autumn days. The big oak trees are clad In magnificent foliage of russet and the flowers are displaying their rarest beauty.

He has completed arrangements for a large salt water swimming pool. The water will be heated and will be in an enclosure, the Interior of which will always be at a comfort able temperature. There will also be a large bowling alley to be conducted throughout the Winter. The alleys will be of regulation size, and will have every modern Improvement and device. The dancing pavilion and skating rink will also remain open during the Winter months. Important Improvements are to be made at each of these concessions, so that their patrons may be entertained during the unpleasant weather. There are to be many fancy masquerade carni vals during the season. Already a great many new classes in skating have been organized and there will be a big patron age during the Winter. There will be polo, swimming races, skating races, dances and various aquatic Lk 0 . Lillian Bransconibe. with the Lyric Stock; Company. tourneys during the season. Many other improvements for the entertainment of the public during the Winter are being planned. Workmen are busy constructing a device to carry patrons of the chutes to the top of the tall tower. Heretofore they have been compelled to climb the steep Incline, but when the Improvement is completed they-will ride to the top. Beginning last Thursday, womtn and children were admitted free to the park. Since the opening of the park last May the management has made especial efforts to attract women and children to the re sort, and in order to attract many more has thrown open the gates to them. On every day except Sunday they are ad mitted free of charge until 6:30 o'clock In the evening. Many invitations are being sent to the employes of shops and factories for the employes to visit the Oaks in a body. To those who accept these Invitations there Is no admission fee. The Power of King Edward. London Titbits. King Edward vll possesses many ex traordinary powers and privileges which few persons are aware of, and which even His Majesty himself proba bly does not realize. He is the sole p -prietor of the beds of all British tidal rivers, such as the Thames, the Mersey, the Dee, the Tyne and many others. That part of the shore all around the coast which lies between high water and low water mark; also belongs to His Majesty, and ho may- put It to any kind of use which he thinks fit, while theoretically every inch of ground in the kingdom belongs to him and not to the landlords. The King has the sole right to print the Bible, the Book of Common Prayer, and all acts of Parliament in the United Kingdom; and if he liked he could for bid the printing of any or all of them anywhere within the British domains. THE LAMP OF THE FUTURE Light Without Heat The Fuel Prob ably a Gas or Vapor. Cassier's Magazine. Many attempts have been .made to in crease the efficiency of our present elec tric incandescent lamps. Light is only a by-product in all known lllumlnants, for the production of light depends on Incan descence that is, the shining of hot bodies, because they are hot. Such a hot body radiates a variety of waves, but very few of these are useful as light. The useful light rays only ap pear when the temperature Is fairly high; below that only long heat waves appear. By increasing the temperature the per centage of useful light rays Increases. As long as we only know the way to produce electric light by incandescence we can only increase the efficiency by In creasing the working temperature. Naturally there must be a certain tem perature where the percentage of visible radiation reaches the maximum, and this is supposed to be between 4000 and 6000 degrees Centigrade. But even at this tem perature the efficiency only amounts to about 8 per cent, so that there is an ab solute limit In lighting by Incandescence. The familiar electric Incandescent lamp consists of a filament of carbon enclosed In a vacuum. The carbon filament Is heated by the electric current and forms our hot body. Now carbon is apparently the most refractory of all substances. Its boiling point being about 8800 degrees Centigrade. Unfortunately we cannot use ' such a high temperature in the carbon incan descent lamp, for our limit is not the boiling point, but the temperature at which the evaporation becomes so great as to limit the life of our lamps. The temperature at which we work carbon In our lamps is about 1800 degrees. The efficiency of the incandescent lamp can therefore be Increased by using a ma terial which has a lower vapor tension at a higher temperature. Nernst was the first to devote his at tention to the problem and brought out the well-known Nernst lamp. Ttie fila ment consists principally of zlrconla magnesium oxide and a small amount of the oxide of the yttria group. Great hopes were entertained when the Nernst lamp appeared on the market, but these have not been realized, for the lamp had one great disadvantage whioh has never been overcome, namely, the fila ment does not conduct and consequently does not light up at ordinary tempera tures. The success with these experiments led scientists to turn their attention to other rare metals, of which the following have been used with success: tantalum, tung sten, zirconium and iridium. The tantalum lamp has so far been the MARQUAM GRAND :PHONE MAIN SIX: Matinee Today at 2:15 Tonight at 8:15 Last Two Performances THE BOHEMIAN GIRL commencing Monday, Sept. 16 Matinees Wednesday and Saturday THE MUSICAL TRIUMPH OF COMIC OPERA (The Japanese Musical Play) , T 'he Geisha - Happy Japan, Garden of Glitter Flower and Fan, Flutter and Flitter Oriental Costumes English Visitors Beautiful Scenery Correct Costumes (By Arrangement With the Augustin Daly Estate) A Production of Melody and Splendor Evening Prices 25-50-75c.

There Is no doubt that within a very short time we shall have at our command metallic filament lamps which from a practical point of view will equal the present carbon lamp and have an efficiency of one watt per candle. This will be a great achievement, bu it will not be the lamp of the future. For, as shown in the beginning of this article, we are absolutely limited so long as we cling to Incandescent bodies for light production. Heat, although capable of making a liquid, or solid, incandescent, cannot make a gas incandescent, but merely in creases Its pressure. We can, however, set gas molecules in vibration by chemi cal reaction or electric stress, such as is done when an electric current is passed through a vacuum tube. Theoretically, there Is no limit to the efficiency of a luminescent gas. Within the last few years good efficiencies have been obtained with the Moore vacuum tube illumination, and this method of light production has a great future be fore it. The light of the future will be a lamp giving light without heat and the probabilities are that this will be either a luminescent gas or vapor. Memorial to Young Oliver. NEW HAVEN. Conn.. Sept. 14.
