OPEII AIR SHOW
Ofl EAST SIDE
Novel Theatre Planned hy
Business Men Locations
Under Discussion.
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.

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.

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

it had taken a new lease of life Instead
of entering upon the home stretch as it
really haa done. Today begins the sec

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

so those coming in late will receive as
much benefit In proportion to the time
spent.

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

Dr. Heppe Tells How Truth

Rev. W. H. Heppe. D. 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

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

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. Common

Just beginning to dawn upon us that

Is so difficult to get away from the
old Idea that Ood Is. In the miraculous

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

With the adanre of civilisation the

and more be crowded out of our world
and the familiar, the common, take its
place An age or specialism, of ma
chinery, of world-wide travel, and of
printing presses, la faat effacing the
sense of mystery, and already a French
writer declares: 'We have not any
mysteries today.'
iueuon rorces itseir In unon

more be crowded out of the world and

Dr. Dyott Not a Believer in the Eter

"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. Dyott nt the First Congre
gational church. The speaker chose his
text rrom neorews ii:40, "uod naving

us tnat apart irom us iney snouia not
De perrect.
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

I cannot reconcile the thought that

who could possibly be satisfied to see
half of hla children suffering In tor

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

follow our predatory instincts, or In
other ways to go contrary to God's
wishes, but I do mean that you shall
