Tnent station, delivered an address In
which he touched upon many phases of
an Oregon farmer's life. He congratu
lated the Scholls grange upon the qual
ity of the .exhibits made at their dls
... trlct fair. He said that viewing auch
exhibits was of great value, as it gave
ne new Ideaa of the ability of tho
roll to ' produce when properly cultl
i vated.
. "Scientific farming will double pro
duction," he declared. "Farmera of thla
nation create seven billions of its
- wealth."
Dr. Withycombe. called attention to
the fact that the Willamette valley con
tains about 6,000,000 nrres, and If
farmed as Intensely as Belgium would
support J. 000,000 of people. While the
state is rich in timber, eventually its
wealth must come from the farm. Its
great perpetual basic wealth is agricul
ture. Other Speaker Heard.

THEATRE WOULD
BE FIRST CLASS
Plans Provide for Class A
Structure in Center of
i the City.
Construction of a handsome down
town theatre may be begun soon. The
building will be imilar to the theatre
that Is now under construction for John
Cort In Seattle. The public will. It la
: Mid, be Invited to take stock In the
building', and a considerable portion of
the money will come from this source,
the theatrical firm of Klaw & Erlanger
to furnish any unsubscribed portion of
the necessary amount.
v .If present plans carry the new Tort-
- land theatre will be built on the quar
ter, block owned by the Flelschner es
tate, at the northeast corner of Mor-
rlson and Third streets, now occupied
by the city ticket office of the Northern
Pacific railway. This company'a lease
will, it is said, expire within the next
year. The corner la one of the most de-
elrable in the city, and is an ideal loca
tion for a first-clasa theatre playing
atandard attractions. The difficulty In
locating a theatre suitably on the west
Ida of the river Is to get a site that
will be convenient for east side people.
It Is no longer doubted that a consid
erable majority of the population of
Portland resides on the east aide of the
Willamette river. These neople after
coming In on the streetcara at night to
First, Second or Third streets, do not
relish the Idea of transferring, often in
the rain, to reach a theatre on another
carllne. They want the theatre to be
located so that they can leave the car
and walk directly and quickly to the
door of the playhouse. All the cars In
the city converge within two blocka of
the corner of Third and Morrison
streets, and the vast majority of the
cars pass directly by It.
The proposed theatre would cost ap
proximately $160,000, and would be a
building that would accommodate stores
and offices in addition to the playhouse.
Those who are known to be connected
With the plan are reticent, and decline
to confirm tho reported details.
Ite Is conceded to be the best
The
that
could be found In the city of Portland
for a theatre building.
With the completion of another flrst
claaa .ttkeat.re in Portland the local play
house tenure. would witness some rad
ical changes. There would be new
alignments with the various "circuits.'.'
and a larger and stronger line of theat
rical attractions would be the result.

head of the New York theatrical i n
dicate of Klaw & Erlanger. WtthlCrthe
last four days negotiations have been
concluded In New York that will mean
the extending of Klaw A Erlanger vau
deville from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The project to build a new theatre In
Portland undoubtedly means that one
of the present theatres In thin city will
ultimately house Klaw & Erlanger vau
deville shows. Contracts have been
signed between the United States
Amusement company and the American
Theatrical company, for an. invasion of

backing of a number of wealthy western

Important and powerful factor In the
amusement world. Ixiuls A. Cella Is
president of the company.
It Is said the first operation of the
American Theatrical company, or west
ern wing of the combine, will be to
manage the Shubert theatre at Mil
waukee, the Kansas City Shuhert thea
tre, the Mary Anderson theatre at
Louisville, and the Oarrick and Amer
ican theatres at St. Louis. The Amer

struction. The American Theatrical
company has also purchased the fran

the company only performers who play

circuit will appear.

John Day. Or., Oct. 21 Peter Kuhl.
one of the most highly respected of the
early pioneers of Grant county, died at
his home near here Thursday after a
short illness. He was born at St. Nar
garethen, Germany, In 1847. Leaving
his native country in 1867 he came to
Oregon in 1863. He crossed the plains
with an ox team and settled In Canvon
City a little later. He leaves a wife
and several children.
An overflow congregation assembled
at Centenary Methodist church yester
day morning to witness the' inaugura
tion by tho pastor, Dr. Clarence True
Wilson of services for deaf mutes. Pro
fessor Wentx Interpreted Dr. Wilson's
perrnon for the benefit of a large num
ber of deaf mutes who occupied a por
tion of the gallery set aside for their
use.
Dr. Wilson's sermon was taken from
Proverbs, xxx, 24. "There be four
things which are little upon the earth,
but they are exceedingly wise."
The sermon was especially adapted
to children, who formed a large part of
the congregation, and began with a ref
erence to the ant as a model In the
way of thrift. Industry and foresight.
The locust was used to point the lesson
or unity. The coney, a little fur-bear
ing, rock-dwelling animal of Syria, was I
used to illustrate the value of pru
dence. In that it burrows deep Into the
everlasting rock to make Its home. The
final Illustration was taken from the
life of the fiplder. which seeks to spin
its wen nign and anove danger.

Life on Earth Often Full
Mistakes and " Errors.
'This Way but Once," was the sub-
e?t of the sermon preached at me Tay-
or street Methodist church last night
by Dr. Benjamin Young. He said every
man was a pioneer, every man was
traveling In a new country; he has
never been this way before, and would
give much to go back and correct the
errors of the past.
Dr. Toung said the great and Immor
tal allegory written by John Bunyan
was true to life; dangers beset the
path of the wayfarer wherever he may
choose to go. "L'nless I am alert and
of great courage and true, and moved
upon great hopes, I shall fall, an un
pltled offering to some malignant de
mon of the desert." This was' the
theme of tho doctor's discourse.
" 'This way but once!' are solemn
words. You cannot go over the Journey
to check up mistakes. Any havoc you
have wrought must stand. If we could
go but once more over the Journey
there would come some Joy to most of
us on this account. At some critical
moment we were not as true as we
should have been, and that experience
lt marked with dismal failure. We
would give a good deal if we could ex
punge the ugly thing from the book of
personal history. We uttered a harsh
word when we should have been care
ful and kindly in expression. A wound
ed soul came to us and instead of acting
like the good physician and pouring in
oil ond wine, we were clumsy and
opened up the sore and sent one away
from us in agony."

RELIGIOX IS A LIFE.
Kev. Dyott Discusses Churchianity
and Christianity.
The differences between "Churchian
ity" and Christianity" were discussed in
a sermon ny itev. turner it. uyoii at
First Congregational church last night.
His text was from Acts x, 38: He went
about doing good. He said in part:
"Jesus Christ, was a philanthropist In
the best sense of the word. His was the
benevolence of life, flowing: forth in
I love to all mankind. His life was love.
His deeds translated, illustrated and
commended his creed. Men have been
inclined to magnify the non-essentials
of religious belief at tlte expense of
the essentials of religious life, and
churchianity has sometimes been con
founded with Christianity. But the man
outside knows the difference and is not
willing to substitute churchianity for
Christianity. For the man who merely
pretends to be a Christian, whether he
is In the church or outside It, we have!
little or no use. ,
"For the man who is like Christ, and
who follows Cnrist, all persons, In the
I church and outside the church, ought
to have the profoundest regard, whether
that man can pass some of th.e tests of
the creeds or not. Religion is a life. It
is an .intensely practical thing. It Is
filled' with that benevolence which ac
tuated Christ to go about doing good."
Is the spirit of ruin

the good of all.
The soeaker con-
at all should work together for
personal desires
placing
secondary to the plan for the upbuilding
oi manxina. incn, ne saia, ir all would
embrace this plan it would be but a
short time before man would reach his
highest development.
