In every way Mr. Hjiker'f Muring of
"The Chrtntlaii" Is fully equal l the
original Llebler & V New York pro

all the tests, and In the closing scene
she defends him from a mob and pleads
for and receives the love which liu had

In her portrayal of Glory Quayle Inst

shows her to splendid advantage. In
the prologue she made A lasting Impres

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

"THE SAWOXBO OIBX "
"The Dancing Girl" Is a rather pe
culiar title of a strong, emotional drama,
for one's first thought upon rending it
naturally turns toward the ljght ami
frivolous. 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.

large cast, numbers of extra people In

most expensive production of the ea

Mr. Alston's company hns Increased
their number of admirers by the excel

regretted that more plays of this char
acter are not offered In the West. "Ten

we sincerely thank them one and all.

Will see the end of the most successful and greatest

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."

lude to the manner In which Mr. Scott
has played fust and loose, first with one
faction and then with the other, and
they evince no particular enthusiasm
over the possibility of his adherence to
their cause. 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.
