A Ico company, who have not only met ..all competition, but today are selling corn a i s teas per ton man tna cheap est coal on the market The Rock Springs coal that they are . handling Is by far superior to all for eign coals, and is being sold at a price , that Is making the importers of foreign coals alt up and take notice. Mr. A. G.

It lasts longer, burns better and Is cleaner to handle. But If tha pub lie Insists on cheap coal, we will sup ply them at a price that we challenge any dealer In Portland to meet.

If Madame Bernhardt plays It at the Helllg, Portland Heights and Nob Hill are emptied of the female part j of their population. If Verna Felton I plays it at the Lyric their sisters under ! ine skin nock rrom other parts of the city. Of the two performances per- haps the latter Is the more desirable, because Mr. Allen has thoughtfully pro vided some very lively and cheering moving pictures between acts. One c,an . Bee the curtain go down on the pros trate Dame aux Camel las, leaving her to sob her heart out, and Immediately be refreshed by the sight of some of 1 the most lively and, it must be admit- ted, entertaining moving pictures we've ' seen for a long time. It Is said that Miss Felton Is the youngest actress who has ever played 1 Camllle professionally. And she Is far from being the worst Her verv voiith 1 makes her natural at times. Miss Fel- f ton has imagination and orobablv can conceive that Camllle was wretchedly 1 unhappy at times. Therefore she too ! wretchedly unhartDV and does srood work in suoh moments. Durlnir and immediately after her final scene of anger with Ormonde she was auite fine. But so far as comprehending the subtler parts ol the unpleasant character Is concerned. Miss Felton can no more do it than could any other girl of 17. It was with a right lusty voice ITiat the young woman talked away the last hour of her life In the old garret cham ber. It was the voice of youth and neai(ti in spite or that cough which made one woman exclaim : "My, but sne s got a bad cold, hasn t she!" But youth and health are not to be scorned by any means they are a very good foundation for Miss Felton's abil ity and ambition to build upon. And then, seeing as you must go and see (jamllle and have a good sentimental time of it, by all means see It at the Lyrlc, where the moving pictures, as we have said, will remind you that there is me ana action in tne world. km mm rm JLm What interest arc you getting now 3 Per Cent?
