BIG PRUNE CROP IS DUE Iiate Spring Makes Conditions Fa Torable Near Forest Grove. FOREST GROVE, Or., May IS. (Spe cial.) The outlook In this locality for a bumper prune crop is excellent. The late cold Spring weather has delayed the blooming of the trees until the chance for frost is slight, and the trees are heavily laden with , bloom. "Other fruits also promise well, such as cher ries, pears, apples and small fruits. Every farmer in this section- of -the country Is putting forth every effort to Increase production this year. Spring oats that were seeded a week ago are looking fine, and the Winter grain Is quite promising. In the gar dening line In town every space avail able is being utilized. Livery teams and fancy driving horses are being used to plow and harrow the small tracts about the city. Parkings and flower gardens are being turned into bean and potato patches. WAGONS TO HAVE LIGHTS All Vehicles Under Rule of New Washington Law. VANCOUVER, Wash., May 12. (Spe cial.) Every vehicle that travels the streets and highways after dark will soon be compelled to display lights. The new law, passed by the recent Leg islature, makes this requirement. The automobile owners welcome this, as It Is a great protection to them tor keep from striking rigs In the dark. A number of accidents have occurred in the state In the past two or three years that would undoubtedly have been avoided had the rig a light of some kind. An automobile traveling along at a pretty good rate Is on top of a horse drawn vehicle in the dark before either driver realizes It, so the light will pro tect both the automobile driver and the horse driver. This law takes effect In June. - Cannons to Decorate Postofflce. THE DALLES, Or., May 12. (Spe cial.) Two brass cannons, which were manufactured In 1861 and saw actual service in the Civil War, are being In stalled on the lawn In front of the Fed eral, building by Postmaster Williams. The" cannons will be arranged upon each side of the entrance and mounted upon concrete bases. About 20 cast iron balls will b stacked, alongside. JOHN DREW TO BE AT HEILIG IN "MAJOR PENDENNIS" SOON More Than 100 Roles Created by Distinguished Actor, Who Will Be in Portland on May 28. - ' . f. . f V - v , V . - - i -my J - & I r 1 - - r - 7 S i ' V 3 ' -i r I J A THEATRICAL season minus a visit from John Drew would be even more barren than a Hamletless Hamlet. Just as surely as Mr. Drew of ficially opens the dramatic season In New Tork wth his appearance each September, so surely does he add eclat to the season during his stays of a week or so In the cities out-of-town. Mr. Drew, who is to be seen at the Heilig Theater for four performances beginning Monday. May 28, in "Major Pendennis," the Langdon Mitchell adap tation of the Thackeray novel In which for many weeks past he has been ap pearing at the Criterion Theater in New York, and more recently at the Blackstone Theater. Chicago, is prob ably the most conservative player on the American stage. An aristocrat of the theater, he has always held aloof from the less polite methods of exploitation adapted by many of his colleagues, and as the lat ter arose to temporary fame and dis appeared, Mr. Drew has .gone on his way. His, perhaps, has been one of the most distinguished careers of which historians of contemporary stage af fairs will ever have to write. Mr. Drew has created more than 100 roles. Born in Philadelphia, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Drew, who for many years managed the old Arch street Theater, John Drew made his first appearance on the stage at that old playhouse In a comedy called "Cool as a Cucumber." His success convinced his parents and himself that he was to maintain the family traditions, and two years after his first appearance he was engaged by Augustin Daly and started actively his career outside of Philadelphia. His first New Tork en gagement was made at Mr. Daly's Fifth Avenue Theater on February 17, 1876, as Bob Ruggles In "The Big Bonanza." He remained with Mr. Daly until 1892 excepting a short period during the season of 1878-1879, when he went on tour In "Diplomacy." During his term with Augustin Daly he was seen in a widely varying range of characters. His Shakespeare lnterpretaatlons in cluded "Hamlet," "Richelieu," "Othello," "Richard III," "King Lear," "The Mer chant of Venice," "The Taming of the Shrew," and "As You Like It." He was seen also In Bronson Howard's "Sara toga." then in "The Apostate," "The Lady of Lyons," "The New Lamb," Pique," "Weak Women," "Money." "The Prin cess Royal," "The Dark City," "New port," "Divorce." "An Arabian Night," "The Way We Live," "Tiote," "Our First Families," "Needles and Pins," "Odette," "The Squire," "She Would and She Would Not." "Dollars and Sense." "The Country Girl," "Lords and Com mons," "Love on Crutches," "The Magls- trate." "Nancy and Co.," "Love in Har ness," "The Railroad of Love." "An In ternational Match," "New Lamps for Old." "The School for Scandal," "Love in Tandem." and so through a list of characterizations too numerous to enumerate here. In 1892 he came under Charles Froh man's management inaugurating an as sociation which had existed without in terruption until Mr. Frohman's death. His first appearance with Mr. Frohman occurred at Palmer's Theater on Oc tober 3, 1892, when he was seen as Paul Blonder In "The Masked Ball." In the order named, since that engagement, he has been seen in the following plays: "Butterflies." "The Bauble Shop." "The Imprudent Toung Couple," "Christo pher, Jr.," "The Squire of Dames," "Rosemary," "A Marriage of Conveni ence," "One Summer's Day." "The Liars," "The Tyranny of Tears," "Rich ard Carvel," "The Second In Command," "The Mummy and the Humming Bird." "Captain Dieppe," "The Duke of Killi crankie," "DeLancey," "His House in Order," "My Wife," "Jack Straw," "In constant George." "Smith," . "A Single Man" and "The Perplexed Husband." . From his companies there have grad uated such celebrities as Miss Maude Adams. Miss Ethel Barrymore, Miss Billie Burke, Miss Mary Boland, Miss Elsie De Wolfe and others whose names would read like pages from a theatri cal blue book. FIELD SERVICE FILED FCTDS SOUGHT FOR AMERICAN WORK I.V FRANCE. Pictures of Ambulance and Aviator Activities Will Be Shown In Portland May 21 and 22. To raise funds for assisting the work of the American Ambulance Service and aiding the American boys in the European war, arrangements have been made to show animated photo graphs, described as being among the best ever taken on the war front, at the First Presbyterian Church house on Monday, May 21. This event will be strictly Invita tional, but on Tuesday afternoon and evening. May 22, at the Eleventh Street Playhouse the public will be given the opportunity of seeing these wonderful pictures, taken as they are by the French government. Picture No. 1, entitled "Our Ameri can Boys In the European War," is In four reels and takes about an hour to run. The first three reels deal with the American Ambulance Field Serv ice, showing various sections of the service, and the fourth reel deals with the American aviators In France, now known as the Lafayette corps. Picture No. 2, entitled "The Ameri can Ambulance Field Service In France," graphically portrays the work of the American Ambulance Field Serv ice, a great deal of It being taken recently around Verdun.

RING CAUSE OF ARREST DIAMOND PAWNED AND COMPLAINT FOLLOWS. C. C. Clinton Saya Stone Was Given to Him, but Mrs. Knowlea Aaaerta It Waa Loaned. A girl, a man and a diamond ring such a combination usually means fet ters, but to C. C. Clinton, local sales manager for the lntertype Typesetting Machine Company, they conjured up fetters of altogether too real a char acter, for he was arrested on a charge of larceny by bailee yesterday at a Portland hotel by Deputy Sheriffs Beckman and Phillips. The charge against Mr. Clinton was sworn to by Mrs. Mina Knowles, charm ing widow, who declared that he re fused to give up a valuable diamond ring which she had loaned to him. Clinton told District Attorney Evans that he had pawned the ring for $300. The arrest brought to light a near romance which, according to the story told by Clinton, flourished in Portland a couple of years ago. Clinton said that he and Mrs. Knowles were betrothed at that time and that she gave him the ring as a gift. Shortly afterwards Mrs. Knowles went East on a visit and only returned to Portland six months ago. Mrs. Knowles contends that she mere ly loaned the ring to Clinton. She said that Clinton refused even to turn over the pawn ticket which he held for the ring. Clinton put up $500 bail to insure his appearance in court. K. K. KUBLI IS INDORSED Hotel men Appreciate legislative Record for Kconomy. The Oregon State Hotelmen's Asso ciation, at Its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, Indorsed K. K. Kubll for City Commissioner. This action was taken chiefly on appreciation of Mr. Kubll's record In the last Legis lative Assembly.
