An east side open air theatre, which will nrbve one of tha strongest drawing features for that side of the river yet proposed, has been determined upon by the business men who will discuss the mattter this evening at a special meet ing to be held at the East Side Alhletlo club's parlors. Grand avenue and East Morrison street, at 8 o'clock tonight. . Two well-known theatrical men, whose names will be disclosed at the business session this evening, are head ing the movement to open the new the atre and their efforts are being actively furthered by the business men them selves. Two or three locations are under con sideration, definite decision upon which will be made at tonight's meeting. Business men of the east side feel that the establishment of a good the atre for the summer with the best at tractions which can be secured, will be a gooa Dooster ror tnat section of the city and draw large crowds to the east aide nightly. On the other hand, if the summer theatre proves a success, there Is little doubt that with the approach " of winter the long talked of east side theatre will become a reality. TT , Data omplled by the Texas railroad commission Indicates a loss by the rail roads of the state during the laat nine months of f4.000.000, aa against twice that amount reported by the companies. The commission asserts that 60 per cent of the losses claimed by the railroads la fictitious, due to the new system of bookkeeping. lng that belongs to a pant age. The depressing effect of Its weather-worn exterior is deepened when one goes In side and Its dlnglness and Inadequate lie Is more fullv revealed. Built when the city was comparatively small, it has been more and more crowded each year, and It long , ago passed Into the disgraceful class. Along with the Jail are Included quarters for the municipal court and police headquarters, all outgrown and utterly unequal to present needs. Mod ern arrangement of tnese quarters would greatly facilitate the work of the police and be a time-saver la emergencies. Another extremely bad feature Is the lack of properly located detention cells for prisoners above the grade of hob'j. Men of respectable bearing who nre un fortunate enough to be charged with crime are entitled to be separated from the drunks, yegg men and petty thieves who crowd the lowef floor cells. It Is now necessary to put such men upstairs In the portion of the Jail supposed to be reserved for women prisoners. Cities- In the class of Portland In slss and wealth rarely attempt to use such relics as the present city Jail. An tiquities of this kind are usually saved for the city- museum, and It Is consid ered a waste of time to try to patch them up-. Until the city wakes Up and provides a new building the conditions cannot but go from bad to worse, which Is not a cheerful prospect for the men who have to work there. CROWDS COMING SECOND WEEK FOR IN PARK Naphtha Soaps Are Not "All AliKe". They resemble one another in only one respect they contain naphtha. But naphtha is not the "whole thing", even in naph tha soaps. The quality of the soap with which the naph tha is combined is just as im portant more so, in fact, be cause it is soap, not naphtha , . that CLEANS. Naphtha loosens the dirt. Soap cleans. Now, the naphtha in P. & G. Naphtha Soap is identical ith that used in other naptha soaps. But the soap is not the same. It is better. It is harder. It lasts longer. It does more work. It does better work does it easier. QUICKER. P. & G. Naphtha Soap is white -because of the cocoa nut oil in it. Other naphtha soaps are yellow too much rosin in them. "The color tells the story". P. & G. Naphtha Soap at all tfrocertv Chautauqua looked this morning as If it had taken a new lease of life Instead of entering upon the home stretch as it really haa done. Today begins the sec ond week, and from early morning till well on in the day groups of campers were arriving and setting up their tents. The second week of the assembly has always been the most largely attended, and this week promises no exception. A week is as long as many people feel they can leave home, and then taking me last nair oi tne session means but half the expense, which Is an Item where there Is a large family. Many of the best features and attractive speak ers are also booked for this last week, so those coming in late will receive as much benefit In proportion to the time spent. This morning found every class much Increased In attendance, and In splto or tne intense heat or yesterday every one reels iresn and ready to go to work. At the Forom. "Health Problems Before the Amer lean People" Is being ably handled by ttev. wuiiam u. Knot or Portland, and Dr. W. T. Williamson of Mountain View sanatorium will discuss "The Ef fects of Quackery. Manv of the classes close at this hour. and the Forum gets most of those who have been doing study work during the eariy nuurs or tne morning. Afternoon Program. Professor W. Kugene Knox, the elo cutionist, will open the afternoon with several readings. This will be a suffi cient announcement to bring everybody on the grounds into the auditorium, as well an attract many to the park, for Professor Knox Is one of the great drawing cards. Miss Colony of Salem will be the soloist. Dr. B. L. Whitman will lecture on "Message of Youth to the Present Age." Dr. Whitman was president of Colby University, and later of Columbian uni versity. Washington. P. C. H Is at present the pastor of the First Baptist church of Seattle. His sermon In the auditorium last night fully Justified what has been said of him that he la "eloquent, persuasive, magnetic and pop ular. ' Great Evening- Expected. The proverbial saying about the pro phet and his own countrv looks very much as If It was going to get a Jolt tonight, for special cars have been re quested to carry the people who are ex pected to be present to hear Walter Thomas Mills. His topic Is "Public Ownership of Monopolized Iudustrtes " Although Mr. Mills has not been a resident of Portland -a great while, his fame has spread abroad, and he la known to be -one of the deepest students, most profound thinkers and forceful speakers on economic questions In -the country. He represents the leading thought of the day, and while a few may consider htm radical. It Is his kind that bring about reform bv setting the world a-thlnking. Tl Is safe to predict that no stronger address will he heard from the rostrum of Charutauqua thla season than mill be presented tonight by Mr. MUla Ttrtlays Heat Intense. Weather conditions yesterday were Just about as bad. In the wav of heat, as they could be, y-t people arriving rrom town compares cnauiauqua favor ably with city conditions, and expressed relief to be in the park and protected from the rays of the sun by tbe dense shade of the oaks. The heat, however, did not militate against the services that had been ar ranged for the day. ad even to the last service In the evening the auditorium was well filled. The Sunday school i service was particularly strong, there ' being- assembled STS persona to take ' part when the Sunday school gong sounded j President Steele cf the State Sundav I School association presided and divHed tne assemDiy into five grouns adult.

The adults remained In the auditorium, while the other grouns of Chautauqua will be preUent and par ticipate in the huge basket picnic planned for that day. Preceding; the lecture there will be a flower drill by the MInthorn Flower club. This Is an organization of young misses who have banded together for the purpose of carrying flowers to the sick. During three months last' sum mer they took over 700 bouquets to tha hospitals of Portland, and during the balance of the year did much philan thropic and charitable work. They will be under the leadership of Mrs. Martha Roberts of Mllwaukle. . This club.

'Bhe lecture of the afternoon will be delivered by Miss Anna Lewis Clark, of Boonsvllle, Mo.. She is of the Iewls-Clark family and is one of the foremost women of her state la club and social ch-cles. Her subject will be "Praotipal Patriotism." Although she will be a most Interesting lecturer to men, her talk will be particularly di rected to women. Music will be furnished by Mrs. May Dearborn Schwab and Mrs. W. A. T. Bushong of Portland under the direc tion of Mrs. Warren E. Thomas. &ellgloaa Headquarters. In a modest little tent near the audi torium Is the headquarters of Pacific university one of the oldest Institu tions of learning in the state. Nearby is the park home of the ( hrlstian Scientists, where each dav some members receive visitors and dis tribute literature.

D., pastor of the Grace Methodist church, spoke yes terday on "Revelations Through Lowly Doors." He said in part: "Man's tendency la to limit God's revelations to the sphere of the un usual. We look for a divine manifes tation In the direction of the extraor dinary. We listen for a voice to come out or tne neignts. Spirit forms, spirit voices, and spirit scenes are antici pated. It is upon the platform of the uncommon, the miraculous, the super natural that we expect God to make himself known. All Jeweled doors. In scribed with mystic characters and Il luminated with mystic light, are the doors through which we think God looks in upon the world and humanity. "Lowly doors! These surely cannot be openings through which God reveals himself. We know these doors, we can read their inscriptions, we can taka their measurements, and have often walked under their archways.

It Is Just beginning to dawn upon us that uoa aoes not reveal himself In the mi raculous and unusual only, nor that his greatest manuestations come through mysterious and unfamiliar channels. It Is so difficult to get away from the old Idea that Ood Is. In the miraculous and supernatural, but not In the com mon and familiar. John Burroughs, the naturalist and poet, in a recent number of Everybody's magazine savs: 'One of the hardest lessons to learn, and some never learn It, Is to see the divine, the celestial, the pure. In the common, In things that are near.' As long as objects, events and experiences are upon a level far above our reach and beyond our comprehension, we sre ready to discern God's revelations. In a spirit of humility we Bay that God must always, in a real sense, be un known to us. and we expect to find him In the inexplicable.

"The Destiny of the Human Kace in the Light of God's Character," was the subject of the third in a series of dis courses delivered last night by Rev, Luther R.

In part the speaker said: "When we find a Christ whose com passion goes out to the uttermost, whose utterances of the trinity of nar- ables, The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin and the parable of the Prodigal Son, we can In no way reconcile that Christ with an eternal punishment such as the world Is pleased to describe as eternal torment, a punishment of fire and brim stone in other words, hell. "What argument can the world ad vance in support or this awful fate In store as they claim for all those who. through one cause or another, are not Christians? Are we to attribute to an all merciful God, feelings which in our own better natures we are unable to har bor towards our fellow beings? Could we wish that any of those loved ones wno nave gone oeiore mignt De con signed to such a fate? Then how much less possible would it be for an Infinite ly merciful God to entertain such feel ings.

I believe that somehow, some way. God Intends that each and everv one of his flock, which means the whole human family, shall enjoy the fruits of Christ's safering, and it is but log ical to suppose that this Is God's will also. I do not wish by my remarks to con vey the Impression that we are free to follow our predatory instincts, or In other ways to go contrary to God's wishes, but I do mean that you shall understand that when the s-reat 1udr- ment day comes God will hav. found way for all of us to enter Into the king dom and glory of his presence, which Ii tne Pleasing I wish you all. large heartedness and Juslce. How can he forgive sin and help men In the tolls, whoso lives are 'blasted, to better things? It la at Calvary that Ood can, without violating precedent, forgive transgression.
