The Laurelhurst Club came Into ex istence in January, 1913. On January 1, 1914, there were 190 members in the club. The seven charter members are J. D. Fenton, S. B. Cooke. L. H. Max well, H. S. McCutchan, T. S. Townsend, Charles Ringwood and Owen Summers. The club was incorporated last Oc tober. The $20,000 required to build the clubhouse has been subscribed and the site has been selected. It is a com. man-ding site, consisting of nine lots, and the handsome new clubhouse will overlook Laurelhurst Park. The park Itself is planned to be one of the beauty epots of the city of Portland. In lay ing it out care has been taken to pre serve the trees so as to enhance the scenic effects. The' plans of the architect, Lee A. Thomas, show a clubhouse with three wings. Apart from its social advan tages, members will have the use of five tennis courts, a large ball and so cial room, billiard rooms, shower baths and many other benefits. The goal for which the club is striving is to make the clubhouse a big social center. The membership will by no means be con fined to Laurelhurst. On the contrary, desirable members of society from any part of the city will be welcomed. More than 100 life memberships have been sold at J100. Each life member ship Includes man and wife, but after the number reaches 200, men and their .Wives will be charged $100 each. The Laurelhurst Club not only touches on the social side, but has ac complished much for the district One of Its achievements was convincing the School Board that a school was needed In Laurelhurst, and recently the board purchased a block of 16 lots near the center of the tract on which the club has requested the board to build at least one unit of the cottage style of achools this Summer. Last Fall the club secured the com plete lighting of the tract by the oty, and through the efforts of Dr. E. H. 'Anthony, chairman of the committee on streetcar service, the district; has re ceived special attention from the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company. The club has been -urging on the city authorities the beautlf icatlon of Lau relhurst Park and the need of keeping Its natural beauties intact and preserv ing Its- topography. The social activities of the club have been directed by a committee of women and parties have been given at many of their homes. The year's social ac tivities were closed with a grand ball at the Hotel Multnomah, which was at tended by more than 300 persons. NEWPORT".

PACIFIC YARDS USE WOOD Large Volume of Smaller Tonnage Is Xotable Feature of Situation. f '.' Transportation Companies ; Prepare for Canal. ; Ship and boatbuilding is an indus try that is a minor consumer of lum ber, says the American Lumberman Authoritative estimates are that it uses a little less than 200,000,000 feet a year. which is approximately one-half of 1 per cent of the total product. Yet just now activity in that line of business Is appreciated by lumber producers and merchants and is of especial Interest because of what it signifies as to prep arations for the Panama Canal opening. The shipyards on the Pacific Coast are understood to be only moderately active. This is accounted for by the fact - that there is little genuine all steel construction on the Coast, costs for steel ships being materially higher there than on the Atlantic seaboard. On the Atlantic, however, there is marked activity. Not all the authori ties are entirely agreed, but a repre sentative of one of the largest ship building concerns states that his com pany has orders In hand or In sight to keep it busy for two years, and that all the other big companies are in sub stantially the same condition. New Frelarht Boats I.nnnrbcd. The new freight boats for Grace & Co. said to be 10 In all have been launched and will be ready for the canal as soon as it Is opened. These are miscellaneous freight carriers, but the owners have the lumber trade espe cially in mind in ordering them. The Cramp Ship Building Company, of Phil adelphia, has orders for two big pas senger boats, six-deckers. The Hamburg-American line is about to open bids, it is said, for several vessels to be built in American shipyards. Ad vices are that two vessels are now be ing built at Boston designed to carry 6,000,000 or 7,000,000 feet each. There are rumors of other vessels to be con structed' for various interests, among them the American-Hawaiian line. The most marked effect of the Pana ma Canal, and of special interest to lumbermen because involving a large consumption of their commodity,- is the remarkable activity in the smaller kinds of construction. The big ship yards build practically only of steel. The Cramp yards, for example, are said to consume only 6,000,000 feet of lumber annually, which is ' used for linings, cabin finish and decking. Many of the freight carriers use no decking, though for the tropics lining and deck ing are both highly desirable. Atlantic Yards Bust. Those who are In a position to know say that every little shipyard and ma rine railway along the Atlantic coast is overloaded with work. These estab lishments are building the smaller classes of .vessels, especially tugs, scows, lighters and all manner of har bor craft. The Atlantic and Gulf ports are busy getting ready for the Panama trade by increasing dock, wharf and terminal facilities. This building of harbor craft is in line with the gen- II Mllinill riiMITMrnnnttMBMIMBlHrri-i fim-, irnffr r . v .-c...

This class of construction requires a large amount of lumber. Many of the vessels are almost en tirely of wood, so the prospect Is that there will be during 1913 and 1914 a larger consumption of lumber in ship and, boatbuilding than since the days of wooden building on the New Eng land coast. One good-sized clipper ship or cargo schooner turned out by the Maine yards used as much lumber as now goes into 10 times the tonnage built In the big yards, but the enor mous amount of small work now going on will largely make amends for the substitution of steel for wood in larger class. of vessels. the Visits and Sermons Alike.

MANTELL HERE IX 'KING JOH3T Difficult Shakespearean Tragedy AY1II Be Acted at the Ileilig. "King John" has been added this sea son by Robert B. Mantell to a reper toire that was already the most ex tensive and formidable undertaken by any American tragedian since Edwin Booth, and will be the feature of the week at the Heillg Theater, starting tomorrow (Monday) evening, Janu ary 12. "King John" will be the opening bill, and will be repeated Friday night. The other plays of the week are Sir Ed ward Bulwer Lytton's "Richelieu," Tuesday night; "The Merchant of Ven ice," "Wednesday afternoon; "Macbeth," Wednesday night; "King Lear," Thurs day night: "Hamlet." Saturday after noon; "Richard III." Saturday night. Until this season Mr. Mantell played "King John" only in New York and Chicago. The production is a massive one, said to be the largest ever built for this tragedy, eclipsing even that featured by Sir Herbert Tree in London about a dozen years ago. Mr. Mantell and his manager, William A. Brady, held it in reserve until the time was rlpo for a coast-to-coast tour of only the largest cities where theaters could be found with stages big enough to ac commodate the entire production. Miss Genevieve Hamper,- Mr. Man- telTs new leading woman, will play the part of Arthur. Others of note in his support-are Miss Theis Lawton, Fritz Leiber, Guy Lindsley. Miss Genevieve Reynolds and Miss Ethel Manteil, Mr. Mantell's 17-year-old daughter. Cur Sale Going Fast mi rscAi. Your check for $365 will PRICK.

HOOSIElt COMEDY JS COMING Baker Players to Put on "The Trav eling Salesman" Next Week. With its leading rc-le that of a typi cal, big, good-natured traveling sales man, James Forbes' well-known com edy, which The Bake.- Players will of fer for the week starting next Sunday matinee-, could hardly help but be a success. Written around such a char acter and by a man' who could give to the stage such another as "The Chorus Lady," needs no further recom mendation. The action of "The Traveling Sales man" takes place in a little town in In diana at Christmas time, and Jim Blake, the festive drummer who hap pens In bumps into a lot of adventure, saves a young girl from falling victim to a bunch of grafters, plays a famous game of poker in his sample rooms at the hotel and later falls in love, real love this time, with the girl and mar ries her. It is all told in a bright, breezy man ner, mingling broad comedy and fool ishness with a touch of pathos and tenderness that cannot fail to score. This noted play has never- been seen in stock in Portland before and should prove a big winner. Louis Leon Hall will play the role of Blake, the fat drummer for ladies' gar ments, who stirs up all the excitement in the little Hoosler village and Dor othy Shoemaker that of the little tele graph operator at the station. BOY BOXERS NEED PERMITS Judge Gatens Rules Law Relating to Performers Applies to Them. - Special permits must be obtained in the future from the Juvenile Court be fore boys less than 16 years old will be permitted to engage in boxing con tests to which an admission fee is charged. Judge Gatens ruled yester day in the case of Abe Gordon, a news boy, who has taken part, it is sni1, in several fights this Winter. The state law which prohibits children working as performers without a per mit from the Juvenile Court of the county in which the entertainment is to be held applies to boxing contests. Judge Gatens held. Gordon, who Is under parole to Dorr E. Keasey, was before the court on a charge of disorderly conduct In selling his papers at the corner of First and Alder streets. In addition to ruling that the boys must have permits before they will be allowed to take part In the fights. Judge Gatens announced that in the future promoters will pot be allowed to sell tickets to boys less than 15 years old, unless accompanied by a parent or guardian, when. If the boys " should stay to see the full performance, they will violate the curfew law. The law prohibits boys less than 15 years old being out alone after 8 o'clock during the Winter months. Judge Gat ens said officers of the court would be present at bouts in the future to see that the law is not violated. Snle I'rito
