Portland, hungry for opera and long ing passionately for both lyric and tcrpsichorean art. has feasted full and bountifully on both in the three per- jormvicea 01 its Drier season nere. For t W tt niffVit(X a nH Jin nftarnnnn Vi f Heilig has taken a new lease on bril liancy, and it was a brilliancy that has not been equalled in many years.

A 11 VI 1 II VI 1 us who are lyrically inclined have had ppera of highest artistic merit, while the large non-musical element has had its ardor fired by scenic splendor, beautiful costuming and the exquisite grace of Pavlowa and her dancers. How well Portland took to the opera season was shown by the packed houses on the occasion of each per formance. From the opening opera, Montemezzi's "L'Araors del Tre Rei," a work widely discussed in great music centers but unknown to the generality of local music lovers until its presen tation here, to the always popular "Madame Butterfly" of yesterday's .matinee and the dearly beloved "La Boheme." last night's offering, the .audiences have been noted for their splendid enthusiasm and joyous appre ciation. Many-Star Cast Appreciated. In the series of three operas the changes of cast have permitted the pub lic to see the full wealth of the organi zation in singers of stellar rank. Possibly rio presentation of Puccini's charming, if tragic, "Madame Butter fly" has ever offered so vivid quali ties of realism as the presentation by Rhe Grand Opera Company yesterday afternoon. The composer always wished for this opera a Japanese prima ,-lonna in the role of Cho-Cho-San. and in Tamaki Mlura. the only Japanese Kinger who has gained a foremost place on the grand opera stage, the dream is realized. Her interpretation ot me role adds a realism that redoubles its beauty and pathos. The enthusiasm of the audience for Madame Miura's artistry was absolutely ustifed, for not only was her dramatic iortrayal authentative. but 3he fits (hysically into the role. Suite aside i'rom the individual novelty of a Jap- nese prima donna soprano singing a ipanese role in an Italian opera, there s a compelling personality, araniawv esources and an unueually lovely voice o be reckoned with. Voice Tune as a Bell. Madame Miura is diminutive, but her oiue has power and fervor. It soars '.rue as a bell with apparently no ef fort and a warmth that delights. The role suits her perfectly, but it would e interesting to see her in some Oc idental role. As the littleb utterfly oy of the faithless American, Lleu enant Pinkerton. Madame Mlura eemed the gay child she is supposed to e. She was as full of happy laughter nd innocent moods as any tiny Jap nese girl should be, but withal there as a tremendous dignity and a fine Iramatic sense in her big scenes. Ricardo Martin sang Pinkerton. and e 16 a splendid actor as well as ocalist. There is a suaveness about " his hrasing, and an intensely dramatic uality in his interpretation aside from is splendid big tenor, agreeable man or and fine physique that makes his 'inkerton memorable. The ' role of Sharpless. the United tates Consul, was sung by Graham larr. He made- the part distinguished or its manly bearing and sincerity, s for his voice, it is a full, sympa letic baritone, pleasing to hear and itted to the role. j Dramatic Opportnnitles Not IiOKt. Elvira Leveroni is an excellent ar st. Her Suzuki gave every evidence tc her delightful artistry. Her voice h a superb contralto and when dis posed her understanding of the dra- thatic requirements of the role she anvinced and charmed. Scenically ke presentation was delightful and istorically faithful. Portland loves and admires Pavlowa ' id her ballet and has set the seal oft 13 highest approval on her art since .e first visited us with Mordkin a .tlf dozen years agone.

Made in East and Advertising Declared to Be -of Immense Value to Oregon Next Summer. "William L. Finley, Oregon state biol ogist, who has been lecturing and ex hibiting slide of Oregon game in con nection with a trip East, has received an offer to take up educational work in the East at a salary of $4000 a year. This information was received in Port land yesterday in a letter which Mr. Finley had written from New York City. Mr. Finley said that the offer contemplated his taking up lecturing and field work. - "The idea as it has been put up to me is to follow along the same lines a we have been taking up in the state of Oregon," he said, "treating wild life preservation as an educational and economic problem rather than a legal problem." Mr. Finley dicf not say whether" he was seriously considering the offer. Pictures Make Great Impression. An indication of the impression which the motion pictures shown by Mr. Fin ley is making in the Eat is indicated by a letter written by Gilbert H. Gros venor, head of the National Geographic Society, in which he said: "Your motion pictures of birds are of the greatest educational value. I wish your pictures could be shown to every boy and girl in America. The pictures will arouse among children an interest and affection for birds and nature, and thus greatly enrich the character of every child." Mr. Finley In his letter says that the pictures are attracting wide attention. Among those shown are moving pic tures of angling in Oregon streams and the methods of the - Oregon Fish and Game Commission in keeping the streams stocked. There are also some views of the state game farm and pic tures of outdoor life in Oregon. Views Draw Aiia;lers Here. "It just happened that I was show ing these moving pictures of Angling in Oregon the other day to a lot of sports men," Mr. Finley writes. "Three of these fellows, who have angled in most all of the famous streams in this part of the country and who have plenty of money to travel on, told me that they were thinking, strongly of going to Oregon next Summer to try Rogue River. When they saw the pictures I have of Kelly and Putnam wading the Rogue up to their necks and fight ing to land some of these gamy steel heads they yelled like youngsters and decided forthwith to go to Oregon next Summer." People in the East are muchjnter- r T . .r:i j-y.' - , A l V 17 ' William I- Finley, State Biologist, Who Is Attracting Attention In the East With His Lectures and Moving Pictures of Oregon Game. ested in the Pacifio Coast, according to Mr. Finley. "This condition has undoubtedly grown during the past year on account of conditions in Europe," he says. "A great number of people who formerly went abroad for recreation are turning now to different parts of the United States, especially the Pacific Coast. There is undoubtedly a great period of prosperity in this Eastern part of the country and I look for a very large tourist travel in Oregon next Summer. "The showing of the Berger-Jones pictures in different cities through the East has been a very opportune thing for Oregon. It has called attention to the Columbia Highway and will lead many people to visit Oregon next Sum mer." Mr. Finley said that the principal trouble is that people in Oregon do not realize what it is to get some of the wealthy Eastern people interested in making a trip through this state. Newspapers Mention Views. Of the Interest which sportsmen are showing in Oregon, Mr. Finley says: "I have followed the Berger-Jones pictures in various places and have lectured where they have been shown, such as in Washington, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, New York and other places, and I have heard very favorable -comments. I meet a good many sportsmen in different sections who are planning to go out to Oregon and try fishing in the Rogue River the Mackenzie and the Deschutes. These streams are be coming widely known through the East, and also the Willamette River for salmon fishing at Oregon City." Mr. Finley has been receiving many favorable press notices on his lectures in the East. Among the papers com menting on his lectures are tbe Wash ington Evening Star and the Burling ton (Vt.) Free Press and Times. At Minneapolis Mr. Finley lectured at the University of Minnesota to a large crowd of children, and later to a meeting of the Minnesota Game Pro tective League. He also lectured be fore the National Geograpic Society at Washington, and at a meeting of the Fish and Game League ac Burling ton. Vt. r lilSPECIIOillSIHOPiOUGH CITY A"D STATE .CO-OPERATE IN PROTECTING MEAT SUPPLY. Immature Calves Shipped to Portland Are Traced to Tillamook and No More Are Expected. There is close co-operation between the Oregon Dairy and Food Commis sion and the city meat inspection de partment in safeguarding Portland's fresh meat supply, which is already having good results.- Heretofore, the city officials have often had difficulty in getting at the source of the trouble, but now through the efforts of Commissioner J. D. Mickle it is believed the supply of pcor meats will be effectively shut off. Large numbers of unwholesome dressed calves have been shipped into Portland in the past, -many of them finding their way through Front street and others being shipped to local butch ers direct. Mr. Mickle set his force at work tracing the shipments and a few days ago found that many of them came from H. R. Edmunds, a meat shipper in Tillamook County. Peputies from the commissioner's of fice condemned unfit immature veal at Edmunds' place, and it is thought there will be no more trouble from that quarter. A thorough field inspection is now under way by the Dairy and Food Com missioner, whose inspectors are work ing northward in "the Willamette Val ley. They report the new slaughter house at Albany to be one of the finest in the state, and they have given it a rating of 94.5 per cent. Union to Be Hostess Tuesday. COVE. Or., March 25. (Special.)

Change in Clialn ot Institutions of Learning; on Pacific Coast This Year Is Declared to Bo Noteworthy. "The change that has taken place this year in the chain of colleges on the Pacific Coast is noteworthy and should bring forth some Important develop ments in the next few years," said Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, the new president of Leland Stanford University, yester day, referring to the advent of new presidents in three colleges and the fact that the past few years have brought a younger type of men to the heads of many of the Western colleges. "What the developments may be we cannot predict fully, but it would seem that this condition ought to bring out something characteristic that will give to the Western college a quality that will be distinctive." Dr. Wilbur is returning from a visit to the University of Washington and Washington State College, where he at tended the installation of President Suzzallo and' President Holland. His own installation at Stanford was held in January. - Reed College Lauded. Yesterday morning he visited Reed College and addressed the student body there. "Portland people hardly realize what a valuable institution they have in Reed College, I imagine," he said yes terday afternoon. "I believe it is'des tined to become one of the strong links in the chain of colleges on the West ern Coast. The atmosphere there is delightful and the facilities for effec tive work are superior in many ways to those of larger institutions. "The students at Reed have the ad vantage that is always found in edu cational institutions handling compara tively small groups of students the personal touch with Instructors and with the various activities of the In stitution, which tends toward the greatest breadth of culture. Larger Institutions Retarded. "In the larger institutions we are finding that we cannot handle students In large groups except in advanced work, where we are dealing with more mature and developed minds. In the earlier instruction in college the groups must be broken up and trie student brought in closer touch with the in structor. "The college, as preparatory to the university, and the junior high school will take care of this work more and more in the future, leaving the uni versities to devote their energy more to the advanced work." Dr. Wilbur went to HUlsboro at noon yesterday to visit Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Tongue, Mrs. Tongue being his cousin, and last night he was the guest of the alumni of Stanford University at an informal dinner at the University Club.

DRV Vermont Defeat Blamed to truck of Proper Organization and Apathy in Ranks of Dry Workers. R. P. Hutton, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, returned yester day from a seven weeks' tour of the Eastern and Southern states, stopping meanwhile in Vermont to participate in the prohibition contest there. r "The election was allowed to go by default," said Mr. Hutton, in comment ing on the dry defeat in that state. "There seemed to be an overwhelm ing underlying sentiment in favor of prohibition, but the voters of this per suasion failed to go to the polls. The trouble is that there was not sufficient organization among the dry workers to conduct an effective campaign." Mr. Hutton reports that the people of Vermont probably will submit the prohibition question again at tne eiec tion next Fall. "The East Is watching the effects of Drohibition in Oregon with much in terest." he said. "They declare that we are securing better results than In anv other dry state.

WHAT THEY SAY "Had rheumatism in knees and shoulder.- Your Fi o r e treatment stopped t in a few days. I think it is wonderful. THE new treatment relieves aches and soreness wherever applied. Pleurisy, neuralgia and rheumatism are all simul taneously benefited and relieved by simply applying it over the affected parts and over the bottoms of the feet. Old-fashioned porous plasters are of little value in the relief of deep-seated pain. They seal the pores, directly opposing the result they seek to accomplish. The bodily poisons must be elimirfated before a lasting cure is pos sible. Free pore action is just as essential to good health as free blood action. The New Pore Treatment is simply mag ical in its effect upon the underlying tissues. It penetrates the inflamed parts, keeps the pores lubricated and active and the trouble gradually clears up and disappears. In the mora chronic cases of neuralgia or rheuma tism rub it plentifully around the aching Joints and o'ver the nerve centers along the spine and let absorb. These spine treatments also bring quick relief in all nerve and kid ney troubles. Don't fail to try the New Pore Treatment for the complexion. It takes every particle of foreign matter out of the skin and greatly improves its color and texture. Ask for Know-Doe Pore Treatment at any drug store. They now have it in both small and large sizes. TRUSSES Ours are the cheapest because the best, fitted by experts and guaranteed to hold.
