Duffumc Pend efon SMITH ON NEEDS Of the Commonwealth of Oregon - IS A STATE SENATOR Who Believes in Working for the Interests of the Public Dr. C. J. 8mlth. Stats Senator-elect from Umatilla County, is a young man wide-awake and energetic, a firm believ er in Democratic principles, and an all round representative man. In reply to a Journal, reporter' ques tion as to the probable Una of action of the Democratic party In the next Legis lature, he said: "I, of course,' do not pretend to speak for the party, but as a general proposi tion, I should say that first and all the time, will be the enactment of such laws, and the curtailing of special pay for work as members of boards, etc., as will place all state officers on a flat salary. The Democrats are in the minority, but we want to point out to the majority, something It has for some time forgot ten, and this is, that the Legislature has other business to attend to, than elect ing a United States Senator. "One thing which 'i think the party will advocate, und which Eastern Ore gon cer-tulnly wants, is a grain commis sioner, and the keeping of grain up to grade." "How will the commission be paid?" - "Oh, that is easy, probably by a small tax on each carload of wheat to be col lected by the railroads, at i terminals, the sanfe as freight money. "The Democrats will also favor the taxing of franchises on all quasi-public corporations, such as railroads, tele graph, telephone and express companies, and others, the money to be used for general state expenses. "In addition there will be an effort to Increase Indirect taxation on insurance companies. This money would go to the school fund, which Is sadly deficient in this stfite, owing to the careless, I might cay, criminal manner In which... Oregon's school lands have been squundered Washington took care of her school lands and has nearly $8 per pupil, while we have only about $2. This would be of great assistance to small country dis tricts, where the special school tax Is either a burden, or the school term cliort. "Among minor things the .Democratic contingent will ask for the revision of the road laws, so they are, at lcast In telligible; the providing of an inheri tance tax; the creating of a state board of health and other matters perhaps of less importance."

TONIGHT Begins Regular Theatre Season at the Marqoam Grand. Fashion will be out, for fair this even ing when Portlands leading theater throw open jts doors to begin the regu lar theatrical season with James Neill andtti' famous Neill Company Jn Geo K.' Broadhurst's latest romantic comedy, "The Red Knight." The play wa es pecially written for this company and the rehearsal were under the special direction of -the celebrated author, who made the trip from New York to San Francisco especially to conduct them. The comedy 1 lit the high social atmos phere of kings and quens and royal peo ple of cour, Mr. Js'elll will be seen aa Robert, Prince of Morantea, and MUs Chapman as the charming Queen of Rodeland. The atage setting will doubt-, less surpass In .elaborateness anything ever seen in this city In a dramatic en tertainment. Ashton Stevens, the famous, dramatic critic of the S.m Francisco Ex aminer, said in his critique of this per- JAMES formance: "Even after the first night, 1 would give six months' salary for & half interest In "The Red Knight.'' v Wednesday evening- ;"A Bachelor's Ro mance will be tbe play; Thursday, "Prince Karl," Richard, Mansfield's earli er comedy success, and for the remaind er of the week. "The Starbucks," Ople Read's latest comedy success. An extra stage crew was at work all day yester day getting the elaborate scenic and oth er effects In readiness for this cvening'3 performance. MANAGERS' ANNOUNCEMENTS. "A BACHELOR'S ROMANCE." "A Bachelors Romance," Miss Mar tha Morton's delightful comedy which the present Neill Company will present at the Marouam 3rand Theater on next Wednesday evening, was originally produced by Sol Sjnlth Russell. The Neill Company has the exclusive risht to present this -famous success In America, paying the author for such privilege the sum of Pino per week. In It. Mr. James Neill will assume the role- of David Holmes, the part originally played by Mr. Russell. The atmosphere of 'A Bachelor's Romance" Is distinctly rural. The -scenes are laid In New Pork and New England. :ind the characters are thoroughly American. The literary flavor of "A Bachelor's Romance" is contributed by David Holmes the bachelor, the literary critic on the Review; Mr. Mulberry, an an tique literary man, who Is unable to turn his college education Into money, bemoans the superficiality of the time !n matters of iterature; Archibald STrv ascva modern and thoroughly up-to-date journalist and the antithesis of Mulber ry and Hnrry Reynolds, a reporter. riTiatever dash of wickedness and wnrldllness there is in the play is fur nished by Gerald Holmes, a pleasure loving man of the world, and Helen La Grande, who. on the other hand. Is r. fascinating widow of the world of socie ty. The first and the third acts occur tn David's study: the second In He!i LaGrande's fashionable Murray Hill home, and the fourth In a typ'eal New England home, where one catches at the peculiarly delightful atmosphere so char acteristic of Sol Smith Russell's plays. Each stage setting 'will be true to the scene intended to portray artistic to a degree, as the Neill Company uses no lo cal theater scenery whatever in any,jilay give by it. "A THOROUGHBRED TRAMP." Among other interesting situations "A Thoroughbred Tramp" contains a thrill ing race between a woman on horseback and a fast-flying- express train, the sound of the on-coming train Is accompanied by the hoof beats of Its speedy rival of flesh and blood. As this race -was progressing in a nearby town a well known gentlo raan was wen to gradually rise as the scene progressed. Just-ethlr?ht was flashing along the track and the noise of the on-rushing train was. drowning the the hoof beats of the horse, tbe old gentleman pprang to his feet and wav ing his arms yelled: "Come one here, gal come on here or dern you you'll be too late." The girl came on in time, but she didn't make half a big a bit as thi old gentleman. : Subscriptions received for The Journal at any of B. B. Rich' cigar store. - v.' PROFITABLE OR Superintendent Robinson on the Late Institute. HAD COMPETENT INSTRUCTORS Those Who , Teach the Lads -to Shoot Wcre'Much Benefited. "How were you Impressed with the county institute which closed Friday?" was a Journal reporter's greeting to County School Superintendent Robinson this morning. "It was a very profitable one all the way through," was the reply. "The pres ent institute marks a new era In Insti tute work In this country: I have long NEILL. felt the want of a graded Institute but have been prevented carrying out my Ideas by a lack of funds for the necessary expenses. This year I wa enabled to put my plans Into operation and give the teachers the benefit of sectional work. The teachers' Institute as well as all other institutions Is a matter of growth. EXPERIENCE MEETINGS. "Years ago I can remember'that teach ers came together for What they termed 'experience meetlrfgs.' The many experi ences Which came up often led up to dis cussions and much time was consumed without arrived at any conclusions of value. This was for the simple reason that no one had given the questions to be discussed any technical study. "Today the Institute is planned on a different basis. Instructors are employed who are not only student in education but who have had broad practical ex periences In the school room. They bring to the institute the results of mqst care-' ful study, on specially selected topics, and intensify their study by' the actual school room experiences. Teachers are Instructed upon these technical points, shown -how to overcame difficulties and are led to a higher apnrsclatlon of their profession generally. The present Insti tute has carried out tbise points In A PECULIAR. WAY. "Professor Ileatrtn, of the University of California, based his work upon long years of special peuagoglcal study. His Instructions showed evidences of his per sonal observations and were ripe In sug gestion and, inspiration. " "Superintendent Hartranft, of King, County, Wash., brought Into the Institute the lessons of a keen observer In dairy contact with actual conditions. In close sympathy wi(,h the work In hand he was enabled to instruct the teachers In such a way as to secure their most hearty ap proval and commendation. LOCAL CONDITIONS. "City Superintendent Frank Rigler, of the city schools, was very peculiarly val uable in his Instructions from his keen knowledge of local needs. He fitted his Instruction to the work directly In hand. The teachers of each section will go to the,'school rooms greatly strengthened in method Utid lesson plans because of their .opportunity to receive , instruction from him. ""Superintendent Cooper, of Seattle, while present only one day, proved a most valuable addition to the corps of Instructors. Ills' lectures upon the 'Ques tion of Equality' was replete with sug gestions toward a higher and nobler Ideal In tbe school room. MRS. "JOSEPHINE LISHER. primary teacher oftlie Failing school, was very successful In organizing and carrying put her Instructions, In the pri mary numbers. She secured the coopera tion and assistance of manyoJJ.th .best leacliMPTn"lne" city and under her lead ership the large primary section (which was at all times the largest of the Insti tute) was given the best that the pri mary, teachers bf Portlaiid had to sug gest ' , ' :.''-.

Other events of great Interest are being arranged and the Poranders who attend the Fair will be given their worth In an Industrial and interesting program. CHANGE OF TIME. The Chicago-Northwestern Railroad an nounces a change In the time of depart ure of the personally conducted excur sions between Chicago and Portland from Thursday to Tuesday. By this arrange ment the time of run between the two points Is greatly reduced. There is also a change in the hour of departure, where formerly It was 11:30 p. m., which necessitated laying over 12 hours at North Platte, the train now leaves at 10 a. m., making a through trip in 70 hours, thus beating the fast mail. The train now arrives in Portland at 8:10 In tho morning of the third day after leaylng the place of departure. . RETURNED FROM INSPECTION. Manager Koehler and Superintendent Fields, of the Southern Pacific returned Saturday night from an Inspection of tbe road from Dunsmelr to Eugene where they went onto the Woodburn-Sprlngfleld branch and came to- Portland over that line.
