Mr. Business Man of Portland: .
The time is too short between now and Christmas
to write you a personal letter, so we are going to talk
to you through the city papers. "We want you to stop
and try to think if you know of any enterprise which is
doing more to advertise Portland than The Pacific
Monthly. If you are boosting for Portland you are in
terested in whatever is helping to build up our city.
Any enterprise that is increasing j'our business or
making your real estate holdings more valuable should
appeal to your interest. Did you ever stop to think
what The Pacific Monthly means to Portland? Possi
blv you know that The Pacific Monthly is spending
each month over .$15,000 for paper, printing, wages,
rents, postage and a score of other expenses, all of this
money being put in circulation here in Portland. To
get aii idea of the magnitude of The Pacific Monthly,
just ask John Minto what our monthlv postage bill is
Yoii will find that it runs from $1000 to $1200 per
month. The important point of this matter is that more
than 90 per cent of the money which is being spent by
The Pacific Monthly in Portland is secured from Na
tional advertisers in the East and from subscriptions,
a large part of which come from the Middle West, the
Northwest, and the Eastern States. -
Don't you think that we are doing our part to boost
for Portland and Oregon? Now, are you doing your
part? Portland business men are not "quitter" nor
does it take a crowbar to piy them loose from their
money when it comes to boosting for an institution that
is doing, for Portland what The Pacific Monthly is do
ing month by month, and has been doing for the past
10 years. Probably there isn't a business man nor a
citizen of Portland who would not, if asked, say that
The Pacific Monthly is a credit to Portland. Now, are
you willing to back up your conversation with your
cash? "We believe you are. "We want your co-operation
and we want .your coin. In fact, we will have to have
it, if you want to widen the influence of The Pacific
Monthly. Here is a place where we can all pull to
gether for Portland.
You know what we are doing to keep Portland in
the forefront. You know,' too, that she is at the head
of the procession, and naturally, you want her to retain
that position. Now, here is what we want 3rou to do:
Make out a list of your friends in the East and send us
this list, with rour check to have The Pacific Monthly
sent to them for the coming y ear. Mr. Jobber, we want
you to make up a list of your customers and send them
The Pacific Monthly as a token of your appreciation
for their patronage a gift, bjr the by, that is not only
' inexpensive, but will serve to remind them throughout
the whole year of the giver. Mr. Merchant,, we want
you to give each of 3rour employes The Pacific Monthly
for the coming year. Mr. Loyal Citizen, we Avant you
to send The Pacific Monthly to the folks "back home."
Every copy that goes to the East or Middle "West tells,
not only by picture but by graphic description, of the
bounteous "West, where big men are doing big things.
The price of The Pacific Monthly is $1.50 a year, but
we-will send five copies for the price of four. In other
words, if you will send us a list of five names, accom
panied by your check for $6.00, it will pay the bill. We
,will send, without extra charge, the Christmas number,
and also send a beautiful Christmas card, notifying
your friends that it is being sent at your request. AVe
appreciate your letters of commendation and your kind
words. We will appreciate them still more if accom
panied by your check for from five to one hundred sub
scriptions. It's up to you. What are you going to do
about it?
Yours for the upbuilding of Portland and Oregon.

Some Reminiscenses of
John Wilkes Booth
BY I-OflS JAMES.
THEJItt: is a time in every man's life
whn recollection becomes one of the
most ijsrlnatinsr of pastimes: the suc
cesses or Tailurcs in life, the conquests
or defeats, the joys and sorrows, and
above all the lasting Impression made
by one act. courtesy or event that has
beejme bo Indelibly Imprinted upon your
mind thift "Time cannot efface nor
custom stale.'"
It was my fortune once to witness a
lamJjm.iorliia technical Ptifumiai cUuuuALin pgi taxmancs Uuit bo. Impressed.
me. that to this day the picture is as Im
pressive as upon the day of the enact
ment. It was while tn Baltimore, and having
a night off went to see John Wilkes
i Booth play "Richard III."
Booth was a handsome fellow, raven
I black curly hair, flashing" eyes of a
1 piercing black that in anger fairly turned
i blood red, a most magnificently rounded
voice that uttered lines In a manner that
made the other members of the Booth
family jealous. Wilkes was the actor of
the three brothers. Junius Bmtus was
the poorest actor of the trio, Edwin was
the student player, great reader of blank
verse, profound thinker and naturally of
a morbid disposition. John Wilkes was
the romantic actor. Impulsive, erratic,
daring, a delightful companion, generous,
charitable and a perfect "man'a man."
Knowing the man thus much my Interest
In his performance, of what was his
greatest character, naturally served to
Induce me to view his performance with
a critical eye. and as such I did.
Never In my life have I seen a perform
ance that depicted so much of the real
Richard as I taw that night by Booth's
portrayal. He seemed to live the char
acter for the time being, and while I
personally do not believe In such methods,
in his characterization, it seemed to fit
the man. If I mistake not Bd Tiiton was
his Richmond (and the night prior to
my visit). In the combat. Booth backed
Tllton clean over the footlights, so ag
gressive and realistic did he play that
night; Booth was an excellent swordsman
and a thoroughly-trained all-round
athlete.
If the histrionic art was ever handed
down from aire to son then John Wilkes
Booth Inherited every attribute embodied
In his great and gifted father, who was
in his day the greatest actor in this
country.
I have known many of the old-time
players who have been in the same com
panies with John Wilkes Booth. Ed
Tiiton, Sam Chester, Harry Langdon.
Owen Fawcett. and man" others, and
they all had a good word for this poor
misguided genius, for such he was; and
nothing but an erratic Impulse or an over
zealous desire to gain fame (if only for
a moment's duration) would have caused
him to plunge his family and Nation into
the calamity that he did, for deep, at
heart in a normal frame of mind, he
did not possess one vicious trait.
