TRIO OF YOUTHFUL MAGICIANS ARE

Tbe magicians are his son, Lynn
F.oeebrook. aged 1. Jack ttolph. aged
1. and.Adolph Blooh. aird 16. The
how begins every Saturday night at T
o'clock, and for an hoar and a half
neighbors and their children, who pay
an admission fee of S and IS cents,
enjoy and are mystified by the clever
ruses. Illusions and tricks performed
by the three boys.
The boys have an object other than
to amuse or even gain remuneration
for their efforts they are hoarding; the
proceeds of their performances to
build an aeroplane that will fly and
carry passengers. Toon Koscbrook
has already demonstrated his Ingenuity
la the construction of aertsj craft and
hla models have carried off first prlie
la local contests of flying machine
models.
. Toung Dolph Is the head genll of the.
trio, but the other two follow closely
and are aa much Interested In culti
vating a dexterity and cunning- that be
wilders spectators as the youthful
ma-lclan. who might properly be
classed alone with some of the profes
sionals see on the vaudeville stags
and In special perforcnancea.
. Although the performers are boys
and their theater Is In a basement,
their show, from the first performance
five weeks ago. forged ahead of all
that might be termed amateurish. A
miniature stage has been constructed,
with curtains and footlights, and an
Improvised auditorium gives sea tin
capacity and standing room to 60
youngsters and their parents, older
brothers and sisters, uncles, cousins
and aunts. The first show was such a
success that the "company" has been
greeted with' a "packed house" every
Saturday night since, and the only
complaint heard from spectators Is
lack of room.
"o Ea.rv Tricks Shown.
. The youngsters do not palm off easy
tricks, foolishness and -chestnuls"
they give the spectators their money's
worth In "heavy work." creations and
Inventions of Herman. Keller and Hin
du magicians. More than that, the
spectators are critical, they try to c4ch
the young magicians In eir tricks,
and young and old do not hesitate to
-bawl out" a performer If he doesn't
make good a thing nonu would think
of doing In a real theater. But It Is
seldom the boys have been caught and
theatergoers climb the stairs out of
the basement as much mystified and
pleased as If leaving the parquet of a
downtown playhouse where magic had
bewildered their minds and deceived
their eyes at so much per.
The "trunk mystery" Is easy for
Pol ph. Spectators would not allow
him to use a stage trunk. They hauled
In father's trunk, aunt's trunk and
grandfather's ancient tool chest with a
queer spring lock, but Dolph. hand
cuffed, leg-ironed and chained, van
ished In fire seconds, leaving nothing
but a heap of tangled manacles in an
empty receptacle. Even Patrolman
Wylle. on the first night relief beat In
that district, who thinks he can "hog
tie" mo.it anything with his handcuffs,
tried to fasten young Dolph securely,
but the officer's expert knowledge and
steel brncelets no more hampered the
young ttlckster than a yard of rubber
tied In bow knpts by a milliner.
The performance Includes everything
In ancient, and modern magic. An
abundance of card tricks are hown
and "explnlned" In truly professional

these parlous times of dynamiting
and dynamiter arrests and law talk.
' wo'man's suffrage comes aa a relief to
the man on tbe street and when the suf
fragettes are thrown out of court for
attempting a demonstration it Is pos

on the street something to talk about
besides labor unions, explosives, kid
naping and "murder will out."
All this has happened this week In
' Ins Angeles and the suffragette propo
sition has created the most talk. It is
, amusing to see how quickly conversa

suffragette Invasion of the English or
militant type and proceedings were de
layed for several minutes, and the dig
nity that Is supposed to surround the
trial of cases waa hopelessly upset all
by one lovely woman. Unaware that
court was being held behind closed
doors and that only attorneys and those
Interested In the case were allowed In
the room. Mrs. L Rhode, an ardent suf
fragette and a member of the Votes
for Women Club. Insisted on taking a
seat In the courtroom. . She was ejected
five times by Bailiff Adams.
Mrs. Rhode was on a tour of Inspec
tion of the Justice courts. She carried
an armful of literature proclaiming the
rights of women and- the sometimes
tyranny of man. As a means of pro
claiming her mission she wore a yellow
ribbon across . her bosom with "Votes
for Women" inscribed on It in black
TO ATTEND MEETING OF THE
type. She entered the court, at first,
unobserved. Adams stepped politely to
her side and asked her to leave. Mrs.
Rhode did not understand this request
and pointed with Indignation to the
several attorneys and witnesses present.
All of them were men. ,It was patently
a conspiracy against women, and she
was there to uphold women's rights In
any public place where men -were al
lowed. These men!" exclaimed Mrs. Rhode.
"What are these men doing here? I
am a woman, born in America. I pay
taxes with these- men. I Insist on my
rights." '
Ier voice was raised above the tone
of ordinary conversation and startled
the Judge. He looked up. surprised, and
the atuneys stopped their argument.
Mrs. Rhode took courage from this fact
and spoke still louder. She let it be un
derstood that she was there as the rep
resentative of outraged and down trod
den American womanhood. She had a
right wherever men were allowed and
she proposed to gain her rights. -
Bailiff Adams, fearful of his Honor's
displeasure, hurried - the - suffragette,
still protesting about her "rights." out
of the room. He closed the door on her
and returned to his post In the court
room. Ho had no sooner taken his seat
than back she came. He again put her
out of the courtroom
Mrs. Rhode returned, and Adams,
with the assistance of a deputy Con
stable, ejected- her agaliT. After her
fifth consecutive visit and the continued
disturbance of the court proceedings
the bailiff and deputy Constable car
ried her In their arms, struggling and
kicking In the most approved suffra
gette style learned from the antics of
the'r sisters in England, into the street
and deposited her on the curbstone.
Returning, they locked the door of
the courtroom and breathed more easily.
Mrs. Rhode got to her feet In a some
what daxed and disordered condition
snd stood for several minutes as If re
flecting upon the Indignities heaped up
on her. Then she took the ribbon from
her breast and wrote upon its bank: "A
woman denied admittance to a court in
the land of the free."
This." she said, with an air of final
determination. "Is too much. It will
be the subject of an address before
an audience of women. I will tell my
woman ro-oworkers of this Incident, of
this lndlarnltv placed upon suffering
womanhood of America, sparing none
of the details."
And with this she went her way,
evidently satisfied' with having accom
plished something for the great cause
of equal sunrage.
Keaur-Tragedy of Smugglers S
One of the near tragedies of the
smuggling game as carried on between
Mexico and the United States was re
corded by the finding of some of the
victims 10 Chinamen In a pitiful con
dition, marooned on one of the groups
of Coronado islands 0 miles off the
coast, where they had been left 10 days
before by smugglers, without food or
water, to die of starvation and thirst
when the craft of the smugglers was
wrecked off the coast of the Islands.
Harry 8. Harkness. the New York
multi-millionaire; Frank M. Plxley, the
world-famous librettist, and P. J, Chap
in, local agent of the North Pacific
Steamship Company, who visited the
Island on a fishing excursion, discov
ered' the famished men.
Harkness, Plxley and Chapln Immedi
ately reported their find to the Immi
gration officers, and . the Immigration
launch Orient, under command of Cap
tain Chadney. left for the Island to
bring the Chinese to this city.
The finding of the Chinese explains
a 10-day mystery. On .April 21 the
fast launch Pauline, Captain Haas
Peters, became disabled off the
islands. The predicament of the craft
was noticed by Captain W. S. Jackson
of the launch Comrade, who went to the
rescue.
On board were found two men, who
gave their names ts L R Klelndranst
and L. A. KlelndTanst, of Los Angeles.
They said they were writers for mag
azines and had gone to the Islands -to
obtain "local color" for a series of
articles. They asserted that Captain
Peters had left the launch in a small
boat to seek a landing place for his
disabled craft. Captain Peters has not
been seen since.
The Klelndranst brothers' story was
so plausible that when the launch was
towed Into the harbor and searched for
Chinese and opium, none being found,
they were released and left for the
north. "
Several days later the Island was
searched for Chinese, but none were
found.
The launch Pauline is an almost un
known launch in the harbor, having
put in here only several times, accord
ing to waterfront authorities. Captain
Peters Is well known here, and won
derment has been expressed at his dis
appearance. - Plxley, in discussing the experience
of his party, said:
"We started out fishing and finally
sailed out to the Islands, Intending to
take pictures of sea Hons. As we ap
proached one of the small Islands we
were surprlned to see a flag flying and

Open Letter
by D. E. Keasey
to Homeseekers
and Investors
When tho matter of Lylo Town
site was first brought up we were
reluctant to consider It. In view ot
the many other large undertakings
we were already committed to. At
the urgent request of the owners of
Lyle, we visited the Townsite, thor
oughly investigated its resources,
and had our experts report upon
the lands adjacent and directly
tributary to Lyle.
The result of our Investigation,
and the reports of our experts posi
tively astounded us": here in the
midst of the remarkable develop
ment of this Northwest Empire,
within 85 miles of Portland, we
found a small kingdom in itself
which the march of progress and
exploitation had passed unnoticed.
This condition was due to the faot
that Lyle, the gateway to this im
mense and only partly developed
area had been held back, its progress
stilled and in abeyance, through the
terms of an agreement which pro
hibited the sale of any lots In Lyle
Townsite. (Almost all the present
buildings are on leased ground.)
Now that all restriction prohibit'.
Ing the sale of lots have been re
leased, Lyle w U 1 rapidly forge
ahead, and with giant strides assume
Its logical position as the chief In
dustrial and commercial center on
the North Bank of the Columbia
River.
We have never seen a more desir
able and suitable location for a
Townsite. Lyle has every advan
tage to make It a most important
city. It is splendidly located on a
beautiful plateau overlooking the
scenio part of the Columbia River.
It has both rail and water transpor
tation, and is an Important Junction
point, downhill grade to Portland.
Its products can be shipped by rail
and water to the markets of the
world. (
Tremendous power will be devel
oped on the Klickitat River within a
few miles of the city. The back
country Is capable of supporting a
city of many thousands. 'Its climate
is equable, Its fruit and grains are
grown without Irrigation, in fact
Lyle possesses every desirable at
tribute for a large, prosperous and
wealthy center of population.
We advise every contemplating
Eurchaser of lots in Lyle to visit
yle and see personally its advan
tages. To those who cannot go at
present we will give our personal at
tention to making selection for them
from the plat,
Lyle Is a real estate opportunity
such as Is seldom offered, and soon

same class as the hesitating, vacil
