Robinson, the young Portland lawyer, who made such a tremendous hit at the Astoria Centennial, will be the part of Rev. Cecil Grey at the gnat production of "The Bridge of tne God" to be aeen at Multnomah Field. Saturday. June i. and Monday. June ID. Mr. Roblnaon portrayed with wonder ful fidelity the character of the young clergyman who. In hi puritan village, saw a vision of the great bridge span ning the Columbia, with Indian and horsemen crossing and re-crosstng the tone span, and wa Impelled thereby to come to Oregon and live among the red men. In "The Brklge of the God" the atrangely fatal character ot the arcli will be shown, aa told In legend by remnant of the tribea that used to Inhabit the Columbia River coast. It waa said that when the bridge fell, then would the tribes be at war, and thle la what happen In the dramati sation. With the volcanic eruption of Mt. Hood, the "Bridge of the God" crashes Into the Columbia River, form ing the rapids at Celilo. whereby Sno qualmle and hi bride. Wallulah. who loved Grey and wtin whom Grey wa in love, perish. Following the disaster to the bridge the hereditary peace fiat ha existed among the red men becomes a thing of t le past and the tribe eet out to exterminate each ether. These battles will be portrayed by fully 600 Indian, engaged from the tribes of the Cay uses, Yakima and Umatilla. Noteworthy also from an Indian point of view will be the presentation of the Indian council which at that time wa situated at Sauvle'a Island In the Columbia, under the name of Wapato. As those who have read "The Bridge of the Gods" in book form will remember, during the council there comes several of the most dramatic moments of the story. Particularly striking will be the linal scene, when the giant body of Multnomah, chief of the Wlllamettee and war chief of the tribes of Wauna (the Columbia), la set afloat In his flaming death canoe. An other remarkable portrayal will be th eruption of Mt. Hood and the conse quent crash of the bridge. A large force i now at work pre paring the scenery and equipment needed for "The Bridge of the Ood." while the balance of the speaking cast Is being eniiaged and will go Into re hearsal In the course of a few days.

Photo by LowelL mm HERE'S a question of bigf im portance to the car owner The Resilience of his tires. True, mileage is of prime importance. But mere mileage without the life and vim of pure rubber, properly compounded, means little. Many a man buys a costly automobile and forgets that the first essential in its protection is tires that will not only bear it up but that will have the proper "give" to absorb the shocks save racking and injury to the machinery. Firestone tires are made to stand the strain. They not only offer the "Most Miles per Dollar of Cost but they have a wonderful, unequalled resilience because of the unique composition of pure Up-River Fine Para rubber. The tread of Firestone tires combines lightness with strength and buoyancy, which means protection for the car under the hardest road conditions, with tires pumped to capacity. We use selected long fibre combed Sea Island cotton for our fabric woven to withstand a strain of 325 pounds to the square inch. 1 But it is in the making the saturation of the fabric the building the curing' and curing again to make the whole tire one inseparable piece that the superior quality of Fire stone construction proves itself most. Careful supervision attends every detail of Firestone manu facture. The tires are inspected over and over again. True, Firestone tires cost a little more than ordinary tires. They are richly worth it and earn their additional cost over and over again in actual mileage and in car protection. Be sure to specify Firestone Smooth Tread or Non-Skid Tires.

K R Perkln. religious work di rector of the Portland Young Men's Christian Association, yesterday an nounced the formation of a Bible class, each member of which will give at least one hour a day throughout the week to Bible study. The class is the outgrowth of the systematic Bible courses that have been conducted at the Y. M. C A., a demand being mad for a class that would require mora time to study than th present classes which meet but once weekly. "Th new class will be organized June 1." ald Mr. Perkins. "It may not be large at first, but eventually we hone to enroll 60 men. We are plan ning to form second class along the same lines about October 1. These classes will be open to all men who are Interested. W shall arrange lor addresses by prominent Portland speaker, and by distinguished clergy men and other who may be visiting the city." WOMEN DISCUSS ROADS WASHIXGTOX VISITOR TELLS OF ACTIVITIES THERE. Speakers Take Opposite Sides on Proposed Legislation Critics of Women Severely Scored. Workers for equal suffrage turned their attention to the question of good roads yesterday afternoon when the weekly meeting of the Woman's Poli tical Equality League was in progress In the auditorium of the Olds, Wort man & King bulldng. Mrs. Edyth Tozler Weatherred. of Tacoma, president of the good roads committee of the Washington Council of Women Voters, told of the work the Washington organization was doing toward promoting good roads, and C. T. Prall, president of the State High way Improvement Association, dis cussed the subject with reference to the state. William Morfitt. a granger, spoke In opposition to the six pro posed good roads bills. The applause accorded to the pro. road speakers Indicated that ths wo men were heartily In sympathy with these views. Mrs. Weatherred said good roads were the solution of the country life problem, and illustrated the point with Incidents of her earlier residence in Washington. She told of the system of trunk highways with lateral lines, that was being built In the state, and held up to her hearers the work of the wo men citizens in assisting the move ment. The Washington Council of Women Voters, she explained, was organized shortly after the women had been enfranchised, and the good roads de partment of the council was one of prime importance. This council had organized committees in each county. One proposition that Mrs. Weatherred laid stress upon was that tho antago nistic elements should come together instead of continually widening their differences. A mutual understanding and a modification of their principal differences, she said. Is necessary be fore good roads can be obtained. In this connection she remarked that it was a woman, Sacajawea, the In dian maiden, that first pointed out to the white man the way to the Pacific Coast. William Morfitt. answering Mr. Prall's argument for the good roads bills, said that the farmers were al ready overburdened with taxes. What they want principally, he said, is roads to the railways, that they may haul their products to market. Then, he argued, the farmers would be willing to turn their attention to trunk high ways for automobillsts. Mrs. A. E. Clark read .a paper on "The Woman Militant," and Mrs. Helen Miller Senn read a poem. The meet ing was presided over by the league's president, Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden. Mrs. Hidden scored those opponents who she said, continued, "in the face of facts," to represent the influence of women In states where they may vote as being of little or no consequence in the cause of righteousness and order. Heitshu Funeral Held. The funeral services of Mrs. Samuel Heitshu were held yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the residence of her daughter. Twenty-first and Everett streets. Rev. A. A. Morrison officiated. After the services the body was con veyed to the crematorium. The pall bearers were W. H. Dunckly, B. M. Lombard Morton H. Insley. George Taylor, Frank A. Knapp and Russell Pewall. NEW FIREPROOF NOW OPEN HOTEL HOYT SIXTH AND HOYT STREETS 200 Rooms, Newly Furnished With or Without Bath Rates 75c and Up ONE BLOCK FROM DEPOT H. JENNING & SONS, Prop. F. C.

This new subdivision called Bridge ton appeals first to the speculator and investor because of its assured position as the favorite factory and residence district of the Peninsula in the very near future. It is absolutely un restricted. Tbu can buy a lot arid build a home to suit your purse. Some are already putting up a tent as a temporary shelter for tho family, to save rent while earning the money to build a home. If you are paying $15 a month rent, it amounts in ten years, with Interest at 6 per cent, to $2372.52. Isn't this worth mak ing an effort to save $5 a month for a lot In Bridgeton? As a result of the water mains and sidewalks soon to be constructed, the home-bulldlng that wtll start immedi ately and the two new packing plants to be located nearby, prices are bound to go steadily upward, making this proposition appeal especially to the speculator. A small cash investment, as the initial payment, puts you in a position to share in the profits sure to come as a result of this rapid develop ment. We offer you this opportunity to in vest where your money will make sure returns. We make the terms so favor able that it Is possible for any one to share In these profits. All lots are 25x100 feet. Sidewalks are to be put in, water mains laid in front of every lot and free water guaranteed until May 1, 1S12. The terms are $10 down and $5 a month for one lot; $20 down and $7.60 a month for two lots. As a speculation you can't lose and you stand to win big'
