TIMBER WEALTH IS VAST Valuable Copper and Gold Mining Properties, Grave!, Soft Woods and Hard Woods Are Chief Supplies to Be Obtained. Natural resources of inestimable vol- ' and value are contained in the ter Xry to be served by the new Oregon A California railroad to be built by Twohy Brothers of Portland, between Grants Pass and Crescent City. Some of this virgin wealth has been prospected, but no real developme t has taken place. ut. """""TV." " , cilities prevented it. A partial Idea of the possibilities posae ---ritory Is contained in the wort on the proposed raUroad recently made by C. A Coolidge. of Portland, who made an cipert examination of it for the people of Grants Pass who have been largely instrumental In prosecuting the new enterprise. Pine Lumber Abounds The district around Grants Pass Is noted lor its quality of pine lumber. ?!Unois and some of the lT leys in this district make up about 60 000 acres of almost level land most of which, however, is heavily timbered wKh the very best quality of sugar pine. ?: "L"d rcfive. when cleared, and In open places there is now consmeraDie ui""6 - 1 Kerby would be the receiving point for a large portion oi m tributary to the Illinois Valley.

This entire territory is heavily timbered. Here are the most extensively developed copper properties along the route. Two miles from Wal do is the Takilma Smelter, and mines which have been In operation for sev eral years. The famous Josephine Caves are near the route and are expected to attract an enormous passenger traffic. Copper and Timber Promising. The California boundary Is about six miles from Waldo, and for most of this distance the route of the railway Is along Elk Creek and through a copper district possessing an unusually promis ing outlook. At no point along the line from Grants Pass to the California boundary is there a better showing of timber. The route of the railway from the California line is along the middle fork of the Smith River, and traverses the same extensive timber belt as that from Waldo to the line. All this ter ritory Is rich, promising copper prop erties, development of which will be Immediately commenced upon comple tion of this road. On the west is the great Preston Peak, which is honey combed with rich copper prospects, and at this point a large tonnage of copper ore Is awaiting rail transpor tation. The route for the succeeding 30 miles to Gasquet station is along the pmith River, and all heavily timbered. Smith River and Its tributaries drain the entire country north and south. Timber Wealth Continues. This same timbered territory con tinues to within about 15 miles from Crescent City, at which point the lamous redwood belt is entered. Conservative estimates of the red wood timber tributary to the proposed road show 15.000.000.000 feet. In Del Torte County there are 151.875 acres of redwood timber averaging over 75.000 feet per acre.

While Miss Humphry has never posed before the camera, her long stage ex perience has given her the confidence and poise of the most talented screen artist. She has much of her dignity of a Princess, to say nothing of the beauty of one. Her clothes, too. are many and wonderful. Some of the gowns she wore while the Crown Princess to the Egyptian throne will be worn in the pictures. Apropos of the present Oriental dis .J u .,nBotlnf of the Khedive and the placing of the British choice upon the Egyptian tnrone, cuupieu the fact that Prince Hassan Is next in line it is surmised that there is a bare possibility, by some trick of fate, that an American girl yet may sit upon the throne of Cleopatra. Miss Humphry has some snapshots which she secretly took while the Crown Princess, and these, too, will be used in the films. POSTAL PETITION READY EAST SIDE CIX'B ENDS CAMPAIGN FOR.

If this Trust can raise a slush fund of $6000 every month with which to carry on a campaign against Painless Parker, I am. going to cut off its i source of pply, hich is in the pockets of the people, by cutting in half the price of dentistry, and thereby stop, if possible, the contributions to this slush fund. I can do high-class, painless dentistry at half Trust prices and make money. As long as this Tran raise money by charging two prices for what it sells the public, it can afford to spend part of that money to fight Painless Parker. I propose to protect myself by depriving the Trust of its sinews of war. At the same time I will give every man, woman and child in Oregon the opportunity to get my dentistry at 50 plr cfnt lLs than they have been forced to pay heretofore for old-style, inferior Trust service " Out of every dollar spent by the people of Oregon for Trust Dentistry, a certain pro portion goes to keep up this Trust, so it can control the dental business in this state. One way of controlling dentistry here has been to exterminate professionally any dentist who might give the Trust hard competition. I know how to compete with this Ethical Combine. That way is to give the public better dentistry at less money. . , Hundreds of Oregon people who have bought my dentistry since I opened my Portland office a year ago know my dentistry is superior to any ever obtained of Trust dentists at twice my fees I can buy high-grade dental material, except 22k gold, cheaper than Trust dentists, because I buy it in large quantities for all my offices, including my Portland office. I can give better service because of my painless methods. Every one of my associated dentists in my Portland office are fully the equal of any Trust dentist in the state, because all of them have been licensed to practice here by the Trust's own hand-picked board of dental examiners. If an exammation before the Trust s board is what the Trust claims it to be, then every dentist associated yfo0 land office is fully the equal in skill, training and education of any dentist belonging to the Dental Combine. , . If I can do Painless Parker dentistry at half the prices charged by members of the Trust, and make money, then certainly it is nothing short of highway robbery of the public pocketbook for Trust dentists to charge 100 per cent more for Trust dentistry. I came to Portland to give the public a square deal in dentistry. And I know howto do it I intend to give this Trust a run of competition so that when I get through it wiD not be able to raise $6000 a month, or any other sum, for a slush fund fhwK Painless Parker. If fur rugs are selling at 13 cents a gross the Trust will not be able to buy one hair. PAINLESS PARKER, Dentist . i-v. i- i ! i j n Sixth and Washington Portland, Or. San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego, Bakersfield, Brooklyn, New York GEORGE COHAN LOOMS AS SUCCESSOR TO HOYT Author of "Seven Keys to Baldpate" Covers Violation of Dramatic Tech nique by Sheer Cleverness as Satirical Humorist. I I i : it U THE full enjoyment of George M. Cohan's remarkaale farce, "Seven Keys to Baldpate," which has been making all America laugh. Is pos sible only to those who take It apart end .examine Its works. More than any other of Cohan's output, this play shows his boldness In flying In the face of the most of the canons of the play builders. One has to think hard to remember a piece that deliberate hoaxed Its audience and "got away with If at the box office. It has even been a cardinal rule of successful dramatic writings that the Joke be always on the characters In the play and the audience be let Into the secret of the author's Intent. The reason, of course, is that the Joke itself can be better appreciated If It be anticipated and If those who sit in the seats can be relieved of mysti fication In the full enjoyment of it The German commentator, Freytag, long ago placed strong emphasis upon this technical requirement of good playwrlting and the fate of most plays which have Ignored it has borne out the truth of his contention. But Mr. Cohan, in making the stags verolon oCJIt Biggera' amu'ln Btory, saw fit to discard this old rule, as others before him brushed aside the once Important but now obsolete uni ties of time, place and action. His of fense againBt the accepted law of dramatic technique la flagrant, but sheer cleverness waa sufficient to shield him from his audiences' dis favor. When one considers that Cohan makes- his own laws of technique and Is more successful in cutting new paths than most playwrights are In employing the accumulated wisdom of centuries, the genius of the fellow be comes apparent. More than any other of our native writers of humorous plays he possesses an unfailing sense of the theater. He knows exactly the ef fects he wishes to create and he seems to have an unerring knowledge of th means at his command to accomplish them. His types are generally studies of American character, unfailingly true. -The traits he illustrates are seldom the noblest In human nature, but the tone of his plays improves as one succeeds another. For many years Charles H. Hoyt was unrivaled as a satirical humorist In our theaters. His f aroe comedy, - "A Texs- .Steer." remains the best eatlre at th finensi of American political life in Washington that was ever written. "The Mianigni nen revrm that with all his propensities for fun he also possesed a power of pathos. In the' intervening years since nis death no one has arisen to take nis place. . -.. m,r it hjicinH tn annear that Cohan is destined to become Hoyt' successor. He already nas mown nun self to be a genius of a kind not often encountered among playwrights anA the rapidity of his development pro. phesies that, although he is a jack of all trades In the theater (he Is an ac tor singer, dancer, composer, drama tist, librettist, stage manager, propri etor and skilled advertising agent) he may also be the master of one.
