C.W. RORIVSO A HEV. CECIL GREY, ASD Ml EMMA WOOTES AS
Wsl.bll.I AII. KHOWX IX THE I'OIHJK OK IMIOOl CTIOX AT AS
TOHI1 CETEXjIAL OK "TUB BRIDGE OF THE GODS."
IN THE hands of C. W. 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.

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.
Built in all types to fit any standard rim.

BIBLE CLASS WILL START
Y. M. C. A. Students Will Pledge
Hour Daily to Study.
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

Picnic and Band

SALESMEN WILL BE ON THE
GROUND
Not to grab and hound you to buy
property in Bridgeton, but mere
ly to answer questions for
those who are inter
ested. ARE YOU TRYING
FOR THE $205.00
IN CASH PRIZES
For the five best groups of five an
swers to the question, "Why is
the Purchase of a Well-Located
Lot in Bridgeton
the First Step to Fi
nancial Inde
pendence?" OPEN TO ALL WHO ARE
WORKING
On wages of $150 or less; all to
have an equal chance.
For further particulars about thi
contest for the cash prizes phone, write
or call for our "Facts About Bridge
ton." Bring or send all letters to the
Spanton Company. Lewis building, 29
Oak street, Portland, Or.
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'
