Reaolntlona to become extinct, to
pass out of existence, were adopted at a
meeting last night of the Oaks Amuse
ment company.' a corporation that was
formed a year or so ago by Sam Fried
lander known throughout the 'Country
aa a successful theatrical manager.
Interesting . In connection with the
dissolution, of tbe company Is the pro
longed absence of Mr. Friedlander, who
has taken charge of a theatre In Ta
eoma. Members of the company that
uu decided to become defunct declare
a he abandoned them completely.
while hta friends aasert that he has-a
more- flattering proposition aa manager
of the Tacoma playhouse. He , lert

numeroua promises of ' return were
made, he still remalna In the city by

After weary waiting for hta return a
meeting of the Oake Amusement - com
pany was held last night A committee
was appointed to wind up the affaire
of the company preparatory to Ita
demlee. The committee constats of W.
J. Van Schuyver, Paul .Wesslnger. Her
man Wittenberg and Mr. Cook. . Work
of dissolution will begin immediately.
The Oaks Amusement company was
organised in 10I by Mr. Frledlanrler,
who. while tn the service of the O. W.
P. Co., conducted a - successful season
at the Oaka. After organising the com
pany the grounds were leased from the
railway company for-the sum -of 13 S,
000 a year. The lease Included prac
tically everything on the arrounda. The
railway company, however, employed
the leading bend at the place and aleo
collected entrance fees Into the grounds.
Concessions and everything else were
controlled by the Oaka Amusement com
peny.

to state. However, they freely- a limit

ture business, r
While the Oake la the property of the
Oregon" Water "Power at Railway com
pany, a number of the structures and

grounds last year are owned by private
Interests. Notable among these are the
Keyetone Amusement company, the In
gereoll Construction company, the Crys
tal . Palace Amusement compear. . the
Apollo Skating rink concern and other
smaller concession establishments.
The withdrawal of the Oaka Amuse
ment company, together with the ree-
lenatloa of Mr. Friedlander aa manager
for the local amuaement concern, pre
sents an embarrassing situation for the
railway company which owna It . It la
made . especially embarraaalnr because
of the near approach of the time for
opening. - Very little preparation, it la
aid. haa been made for the opening
except by coneesslonalrea who ' are
somewhat at sea aa a reeult of eonai-
tlODS. .
The railway company, however, it la
said, had been arranging for the sea
son under the belief that the Amuse
ment company would continue. It la
said the management haa arranaed for
musical concerto by some of the leading
too ring bands in the country, the book
ing of a number of free attractiona and
the erection of a new band ehelL It
has alsoi erected a stage, where It la
Intended to produce) open-air opera, bur

Officials of the railway company dis
claim all knowledge of the action of
the .Amusement company. F. L Fuller,
vice-president and general manager, de
clared today that he had not been In
formed If any action had been taken.
Vl.know nothing about what the
Amueement company haa done." he said,
"and waa not aware that they held a

taken. There la no atatement of . thla
