There nta the added charm that the pIhv Ik entirely the product of Portland hniliiK and capital, and alao that many of the playera look upon this i .ty n their home. In every way Mr. Hjiker'f Muring of "The Chrtntlaii" Is fully equal l the original Llebler & V New York pro duction.

It ron oerna the life of C.lory Quuyle. grand daughter of nn Island clergyman, and John Storm, the con of Ionl Storm Finally lilory deciilea to no to London ax a nurse, and Storm etitera the service of the church, finding his field of work In the slums of the metropolis. Glory leaves the hospital and achieves a tri umph as a mnalc-hall alnger. John Storm falls to induce hor to give up the life, and finally, after many trials, goea to her apartmenta to kill her. She then tella him how her love haa withstood all the tests, and In the closing scene she defends him from a mob and pleads for and receives the love which liu had once rejected. In her portrayal of Glory Quayle Inst ' night Miss Count! has a part that shows her to splendid advantage. In the prologue she made A lasting Impres sion aa the light-hearted, unconventional country girl, and finally, aa the woman tried and tested, who turns to the man she loves In hi adversity, and gives up the world for him. Arm Lee Wlllard was unuaunlly strong and convincing In his Impersonation of John Rtorm. Roth the principals re ceived numerous curtain calls after every act, and the stage resembled the Interior of a hothouse from the profusion of the floral offerings. The support of the principals was thoroughly good. John II. Sullivan waa particularly clever as Horatio Puke, and waa a revelation to hla friends. Miss Etheylene Palmer (Mrs. Carlyle Moore of this elty) gave a beautiful portraiture of Polly Love. The three graces were Haael Kllday. Efellna Blair and Edna St. Clair. This is Miss Blair's first season on the stage, and aa Portland la her home she received an enthualastlc greet ing. Frank Fanning was the quiet and reserved Brother Paul.

An entirely new and Startling pro gram of magic Is offered for th.t amuse ment of local thentre-goera.

Two of the new Illusions a llkelv to create a sensation on their first presentation this season.

However, there Is little of he farcical In t lie sad experience of Drusilla Ives, who leaves her home end kindred to go out and live the life she has dreamed of In the great world. "The Dancing Girl" was selected as the opening ply for the Baker Theatro company for several reasons. It was the last week's bill at Ixs Angeles, and the company were thoroughly up in all the parts, and It also proved a very strong attraction in the southern city. The Saturday matinee will be a great reunion of all the last season regulnrs and Saturday evening will be the last performance. THE FBXBOHEB 07 BUBS A."

"Ten nessee's Pardner" will rank with "Arl ona" and kindred plays, and a better perf6rmance Is seldom seen than that the patrons of Cordray'a are enjoying this week.

A FEW DAYS Will see the end of the most successful and greatest bargain sale In Iegitimatevmerchandislng ever known in the city of Portland. Staples such as Blankets, Quilts, Table Linens, are subject to cut rates, COME IN TODAY the council shall not authorlie any ex peiulitures during any fiscal year, nor shall any liability or liabilities be In curred by or on account of the city of Portland to be paid In any particular fiscal year. which singly or In the aggregate shall be In excess of the reve nues received during uch year appll cable or made applicable by transfer to the payment of such liability or liabili ties, and It further provide that no debt, contract or liability shall be en forced In excess of this limitation upon the power of the council. 'Taking all these provision together. It Is evident that unless the city of Portland can collect taxes for 1H04. 1he city government will be practically di solved, unless some effort Is made to inrry on the city government In viola tion ot the provisions of the city charter. "Portland pays a large proportion of the taxes of the state, and it does seem to me that its Interests ought to be taken Into consideration by the gov ernor. He is reported as saying thnt he has been Jn the different parts of the state and that the people are Indifferent, if not opposed to an extra session of the legislature; but these people know noth ing about tho condition of afTuir In the city of Portland, and as the gov ernor resides in this city. It seems to me that the Interests of Portland ought to have aa much consideration with him as the Interests of the other portion of the state. Couldn't at Beady for lair. "This 1 not a question of salaries of officials, but It 1 a question which concern the existence of the city gov ernment and It ability to proceed with Its contemplated improvements. We are straining every nerve to put our city In a proper condition for the fair of 1906. If we are deprived of any revenue front taxes in 1904, our city will be left in a disgraceful condition when the fair Is organized In 1905. "I agree with the governor In the de sire that the extra session should sim ply meet and rectify the mistake In the legislation of the last session about taxes, but I am In favor of the repeal or the present law and the re-enactment of the old law. and opposed to any other legislation during the session. But It occur to me that the governor ought not. In view of the public necessities, to make this session depend upon whether or not the members will make pledges to him that they will do no other busi ness except ratifying the mistake in the tax law. Most of the members of the legislature, so far aa I have noticed any expression from them, and there Is no doubt that a great majority of the peo ple, are In favor of a short session and legislation exclusively with reference to taxation. It seem to me that when member of the legislature expresses hi opinion as to what ought to bo done, that ought to be satisfactory to the governor. Many of the member of the legislature are large taxpayers, and are Just a much Interested In preventing a waste of the people' money a the governor, and It Is not to be presumed that they would engage In any scheme of recklesa legls lation. No doubt there are a great many men who are talking about different schemes of legislation, but this Is no evidence that any of these schemes will be adopted by the legislative assembly, Why Bot U tli Veto? 'People may feel Indifferent at this time about an extra session of the leg islature, but when the pinch comes and the school districts, the cltiea and the counties find out that they me without money, then there will be an outburst of public indignation toward whoever may be responsible for such a condition of things. 'Moreover, the governor lias the veto power, and no doubt he could defeat any legislation that might be attempted by the legislative assembly contrary to his wishes, though there can be little doubt that at least one-third of the legislative assembly Is opposed to any legislation except that relating to taxes. I do beg of the governor to take these matters Into consideration and give them their proper weight in making up IiIb decision as to whether or not there should be an extra session."

There was once a time when the Oregonlan was regarded as a fower In party politics and when It at Itude wa considered decisive in fac tional struggles. But that time Is past, and both Mitchell (men and Simon men now say that the paper's support is no longer essential to success. The Oregonlan's unfriendly attitude toward Senator Simon last spring, at the time of his rupture with President Roosevelt, is too recent to be easllyfoj' gotten. A the professed upholffer of the president. Mr. Scott cannot now readilv enter Into an alliance with Sena tdr Simon, desirable though it might be tjrom the editor's standpoint. Senator Simon Is understood to have definitely abandoned all Idea of returning to the senate, and he would therefore be In a postflon. If successful In the coming pri maries, to lend powerful aid to Mr. Scott. But Simon realizes that his own pros pects of success next spring may be ma terially brighter If he is unhampered by any such alliance. There are other political factor which may prove much more potent than the "unwilling candi date" who failed to become L'nltod States senator last February. There are other senatorial possibilities, also, who might prove more valuable allies. Senator Simon would have to be very forgiving, and Mr. Scott very forgetful, if a coalition were to be effected between them. Bourn Too Ambition. Jonathan Bourne might Join forces with Scott, were It not that both of them are after the senatorshlp. This ambi tion of Bourne's has been the obstacle In the way of an alliance between him self and Senator Simon. Bourne has been willing, but Simon has been coy. Bourne offers to throw all his strength to Simon on condition that he is allowed to name the legislative candidates, so as to aid his own fight for senator. But Simon .wants to know what strength Bourne ha to contribute. Bourne's pres tflge suffered considerably in the last senatorial struggle, and the "man of mystery" proved at the finish to be but a small factor. It Is true that he was not responsible for 8cott' defeat, for be strongly advised against hi candidacy. Hut the votes which Bourne was sup posed to hold In his hand slipped through his fingers when he was called upon to deliver them. In politics, the man who can't deliver the good Is commonly relegated to a back seat. Simon regards the price of Bourne's adherence a quite out of proportion to Its value. The control of the legisla tive ticket is too Important to be sur rendered without a quid pro quo, and it will not be given over to Bourne unless he can show much more clearly than he has yet been able to do that he can give substantial assistance at the coming pri maries. If Harvey W. Bcott had any talent as a political organizer, he might put a ticket of his own in the field next spring. But he has neither the generalship nor the following to do this successfully. Apparently the only course open to him Is either to abandon finally the dream of representing Oregon In the I'nlted States senate, or to make a campaign of guer rina warrare, seexing vengeance upon all who have stood In his way to office. The Oregonlan served notice upon sev eral members of the last legislature that they had "something coming to them" and these portentous threats have yet to be fulfilled. But perhaps Mr. Scott will decide, af ter all, to enter the cabinet.
