AIAVIST SCHROEDER.
GERXLDINB FARRAR, the grand
opera atar of Berlin and New
York, who is now on her way to
Portland under the management of Lois
Steers-Wynn Coman. has not only the
gift of a wonderful voice, beauty and
wit, but she has also youth. She is
the youngest of all the great prima
donnas, and brilliant as her career has
been already, to bring the nations of
Europe to her feet, she has still more
brilliant promise in the future.
At 19, in all the freshness of girl
hood, she made her debut in Berlin as
Marguerite in Gounod's "Faust," and
was immediately hailed as the ' new
genius of song. This was the more re
markable as it was her first appear
ance on any stage, and before what is
probably the most critical audience in
the world. Her originality came strik ingly
to the fore on this occasion, for
she adventurously departed from the
traditional portrayal - of Marguerite,
both in costume and In action, giving
expression to her own individual con
ception of the character; and the most
cultured and fastidious audience in the
world accepted her characterization
and daring departure from tradition.
Everybody, in fact, went wild over the
captivating young American, who in
addition to her wonderful voice had the
calm and sure poise which only genius
oar, crlva rnmhlnwi with an enchanting
grace of personality and innocence that
won all hearts.

Later, in other roles, she disclosed an
irresistible spontaneity of humor.

HARVARD IS DEFENDED

Mm Who Worked Way Through East

School Retaraa City.
Harvard's reputation for snobbish
ness among its students Is altogether
undeserved, according to Carl Land
erholm, a member of the last gradu
ating class, who has Just returned to
Portland. If snobbishness existed at
the big Eastern university Mr. Land
erholro would be In a good position to
know it, as he took a complete course
there, paying his way as he went by
any kind of employment that came
to hand.
Mr. Landerholm supplied a good ex
ample of how any American .boy who
has health and determination may se
cure an education. His preparatory
work began with the first year in high
school at Brush Prairie. Wash. Then
he came to Portland and entered the
college preparatory department of the
Young Men'a Christian Association.
By carrying newspapers he paid all
his expenses and in the remarkably
short time f one year finished the
preparatory course. That be did this
without sacrificing his work was
shown by the fact that be passed the
entrance examinations to Harvard
without trouble.
At Harvard Mr. Landerholm was
successful in winning a scholarship of
ISO a year and $250 for the final year
of his course. Aside from this he paid
all his expenses by waiting on tables,
delivering ice, doing housecleaning and
similar work.- He declares that the men
who take up employment of this kind
are received on a social equality with
students who spend thousands of dol
lars a year. He completed his course
last Spring with honors.
Mr. Landerholm is an enthusiastic
alumnus of the Y. M. C A. preparatory
school and expects to be present at the
opening of the educational department
tomorrow night.
the prisoner. This action was recom
mended because the District Attorney's
office is of the opinion that- a convic
tion In the case would be impossible,
as the wife of the prisoner declares
she has no knowledge as to who shot
her.
Judge McGinn held that the charge
against Naumad was too serious to per
mlt of such action and said he would
rather leave the matter to a Jury.

PORTS WORK INDORSED

Walter K. Taylor, In Letter To Dr.
Alfred Kinney, Says Oregon's
Future Jnst Awakening.
Letters promising hearty co-operation
In the work of the ports of the Colum
bla committee, which has already ac
compllshed so much to bring about the
early opening of the Columbia. River
bar to the largest deep-water vessels,
continue to be received by Chairman
Dr. Alfred Kinney, of Astoria.
Among those who promised their aid
last week were Walter K. Taylor.
Mayor of Corvallls, Or. Major Taylor
said in part:
"As I look ahead to the opening or
the Panama Canal, I feel that Oregon's
future is Just awakening. Our oppor
tunity, will then knock at the doors or
every industry of our state. Shall we
be prepared to bid ft enter at that
time? This is the question which
should interest evey citizen of Ore
gon. with our aiversiriea iarming, our
Immense timber resources, our unsur
passed dairy industry, our rich fertile
soils, our famous yards, . our rruits,
grains and mills, and our unsurpassed
orchards of every kind, we will enjoy
a trade, farm and other stimulus un
surpassed In the history or Oregon.
Let us then be up and doing so that
when the coming opportunity shall
knock at cur door, we can keep up
with the procession of otner states on
the Pacific Coast
'To me the key to the situation Is
,the deepening of the harbor of the
Columbia River. Let us make this so
any ship can enter. Having the Co
lumbla deepened so that any ship can
enter will place Oregon In the sweep
of the coming progress of the states on
the Pacific Coast Oregon will surely
be the coming 'Empire of the West,' If
the Columbia River is deepened as It
should be. Oregon should move as a
unit In this matter. Every city and
every citizen should be equally in
terested in the work you are under
taking?.
' ""Therefore lefus' all be up and do
ing; let us take time by the forelock
let us pull together; let us all cease
not our efforts until Oregon shall be
the leading state of the Northwest,
and the Columbia River shall be nav
lgable to every ship of trade."
