"Naughty Marietta" is in two acts, with scenes laid in New Orleans in 17S0. The story revolves round a little French Countess, who ran away from her Eiironean convent o join a shipload of maids beinr sent ut to America to become wives for the soldiers. In New Orleans Marietta attracts the ttention of the son of the Lieutenant- over nor, who secretly is none other than a famous pirate chief. His atten- ions are unwelcome, especially as Marietta has become fond of an Amer ican a Captain of the Forest Rangers. ut, unfortunately, he is a woman- iter, so Marietta Is confronted with ie situation of endeavoring to escape he attentions of one while trying to t tract the love of another. And as he American soldier is attempting to apture the pirate, whose real identity s unknown to him and is friendly with im when he is at home and devoid f ills pi-atical ambitions, it can readily realized that a series nf unusual tuatlons must result. Kventually. Marietta is able to aid her American capture the pirate and to attract love. Miss Webber is one of the finds" of Oscar Hammerstein. is thrown against episodes fully as dramatic and intense as those that en compassed "The Music Master," and through all the stirring scenes in the play a similar nobility of nature is shown. I'eter Grimm is a Dutch florist, whose good, simple life has been lived among the flowers, but when calamity falls upon his little girl ward because of him, the deeper dramatic notes of the story are asserted. Mr. Belasco for the present withholds the real story of the play as a surprise for our thea tergoers. It is known, however, in ad vance that "The Return of Peter Grimm" contains one of the most novel ideas seen in recent years on the stage and the evolving of the story built upon this startling novelty is said to be the most inspired offering that David Belasco has yet given to the drama. It is generally acknowledged that in 'The Return of Peter Grimm" Mr. Be lasco has achieved perhaps the crown ing triumph of his career by accom plishing what hitherto has been thought impossible, the creation of an other character fully as lovable as the gentle old music master in a play no less full of true human nature, dra matic situations and heart interest. "The Return of Peter Grimm," it is said, has given David Warfield another opportunity for picturesque, whole some, golden-hearted characterization for the portrayal of which he stands pre-eminent upon the American stage. The entire original Belasco Theater cast and production will be seen here.: including Marie Bates, Janet Dunbar. Marie Heichai'dt, Joseph Brennan, John Sainpolis, Thomas Meighan, William Boag.

Manager Baker has evidently select ed a sequence of extra strong attrac tions with which to reopen his popular company at its new home, for it is an nounced that "Salvation Nell," Mrs. Fiske's wonderful play of slum life. will follow "The Virginian," opening next Sunday matinee for a week. This is one of the greatest of all stock productions as regards cast and scenery and at times the stage is fair ly packed with cosmopolitan crowds, representing life in the lower strata of society in New York. No expense will be spared to excel all former produc tions of the play in tnis city, it deals with the work of the Salvation Army Iji its daily rounds of love and mercy amongst the poor and the outcast and has a peculiar appeal for this great missionary body and the cause it rep resents. Alice Fleming' will play the star role of Nell and Robert Conness that of Big Jim Piatt. Dozens of supernu meraries of different nationalities will be employed to give the true atmoT sphere and the realistic saloon and street scenes will be vividly portrayed, with every attention to detail. "Salva tion Nell" at the Baker should be one of the really big things of the the atrical year in this city. Address letters, make checks and money orders payable to W. T. Pangle, Mgr. Heilig Theater.

Josselyn, president of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, yesterday, it was agreed that the city shall proceed with the adver tisement of the proposed franchises for the company. The company will waive the rights sought by it in Prescott street, and any others to which the members of the City Council object, and In this manner will obviate delays. Mr. Josselyn would not, however, agree to lay on Seventh street standard-gauge ties, so that, should another company get a franchise there, it would be unnecessary to tear up the street again. He held that it would be unfair to expect his company to go to the ex pense of putting in foundation work for someone else, although he said he was not averse to having the proper ties put in If someone would pay for the extra cost. The situation on Seventh street is that a standard-gauge road may be laid if the people vote the Heusner franchise, which proposes a line from the Peninsula, across the Broadway bridge, and along Seventh street. Pe titions for a vote on this are being circulated now. Mr. Josselyn was accompanied by J. E. Werlein, special agent for the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company, who is familiar with the franchises and the routine of the proposals at the City Hall. The question of city lighting was touched upon but briefly during the interview, nothing definite being done on this subject. Deal for Farm Brings $14,4 00. BROWNSVILLE. Or., Jan. 11. (Spe cial.)
