JgT Georgo B. French the new president of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle, arrived In Portland from Chicago last night and this morning began actively to take up the duties of his new office. A stack of correspondence and executive work that was desk high had piled up awaiting Mr. French's arrival and he went at It shortly before noon, leaving an inspection of the properties of the North Bank In Portland until later. Mr. French, made the trip over the line of which he has become the head by daylight, leaving Spokane yesterday morning. . He waa greatly tmpressed not only by the excellence of the road Itself but by the great wealth of the Pacific coast country and the importance of the line to Portland. It struck mo with particular Im portance that the North Bank Is pecu liarly a Portland institution and one built for the benefit of Portland," said Mr. French. "Of course I have Just arrived and have had little time to look about me here, but I am astonished and greatly pleased at' the great future this part tt ' the country "evidently has be fore it." - Mr. French, until be was elected presi dent of the S.

He is a comparatively young man for the important position that he has assumed, is affable, and is regarded as one ef the most intelli gent traffic men the St. Paul road had in Ita general ofricea.

Freeman is held In the military prison at Vancouver to satisfy former sentence against him for de sertion from the army. Meanwhile his deserted wife, who is a consumptive. Is starving amid utmost squalor in a dark basement room of a rooming house at 68 Seventh street south. Although she has petitioned Brigadier . General Maus. commanding the. department of the Columbia, to free her husband, he can do nothing for her until orders come from Washington in regard to the disposal of the case. Two years ago Freeman escaped from Fortress Monroe where he had been sentenced to two years' imprisonment and aoon after met his wife in Denver, where he married her. At the time of the marriage he told, her that be waa the son of a prominent Boston family and that he had , served" the full time of his sentence for desertion. Blnce coming to Portland he has worked as a awimming Instructor at tbe Oaka.

"About Dr. Wullner there has-! been perhaps more discussion than over any other musical celebrity of the day. He showed himself to be a great singer. A perfect storm of applause followed his marvelous presentation of the Strauss Das Lied des Steinklopfersr' which was as near to perfection of dramatic art as It is possible to realize. And the same composer's "Caecille" showed him equal' ly great in the singing of an Intense love song. But of all the splendid numbers by Brahms, Wolf and Schumann, perhaps the "Two Grenadiers" represented him at his greatest. His was not only a colossal interpretation, but it seemed nothing short of Inspiration. Here he certainly rose to the heights, if singer ever reached there." These two songs will be sung by Wull ner at his Portland concert Wednesday night, December 15 at tbe Masonic tem ple, West PTark .and Yamhill, under the direction of Lois Steers-Wynn Coman. Seats are now selling at Ellers Piano House.
