tt Seventh and Taylor street, la tho
dciarel belief of A. B.' Kldndpa, vice
president of 'tha United, Engineering
&( Conetruction Mimpanjv the. contract
ing firm which built the ' new play
houso. . Mr. EldrldR has Imd extensive
experience In theatre construction and
may ba considered an expert along such
l!ns.
Th general design Of the Helljg Is ol
' Jtytical, . with heavy iron truascs sup
oortlng tha Toot ' Steel and concrete
unite, to forjn th frame of thi struc
ture. '. It" Is" of tha cantilever type of
construction,, which means that the bal
cony -and the ' gallery ; are supported
without the use of a slrtsle post to .ob
struct tha view of i the stage, from any
ronton of the Interior of the bulldlr.'
The enormous .-, elliptical ; dome of - the
roof !s. supported with, huge, iron truss
es extending . from wall to wall, and
t;les tha Interior fh effect of a huge
megaphone, being modeled after tho
Salt Iake tabernacle. '.'
This steel as furnished' and' erected
by the United Engineering & Construc
tion company, the general contractors
for the building, and it is considered one
(if . the most f-difficult pieces of , sjecl
erection that has ever been put up In
the northwest. The floors. Inclines,
stairs and. roof 'are' of reinforced con
crete: a'J doors and "windows-are of met
al construction, making the; building-as
nearlyabsolutely fireproof as Is possl
ble, considering the fact that the ele-l
. ment.rof decoration, which necessarily'
requires, some wood,''.. Is'., an ' Important:
feature of a first class theatre.-' Mr:
Eldrldge, In going over the building
with a Journal reporter, said that thore
was hardly 'enough wood In the -whole
structure to make a good f'lrf tn an or
dinary fireplace. ' " -'
The main entrance Is on- Seventh
street leading to the large and commod
ious marble lobby, from which the bal
cony la reached by the most approved
method of entering and departing from
a theatre, that is, the Inclined plane
Concrete ; la -In evidence everywhere.
The floors are all of .reinforced con
crete; the Incline plane, ' the steps lead
ing to the gallery, the rises in, the bal
cony by means of ; which 'the tiers of
teats are reached, the jails, at the front
of the balcony and aY the front of the
gallery, the proscenium boxes are even
of concrete, while on the stage back;of
the rurtain there is literally nojL; par
ticle Of wood. '.''.. '
A feature of ;the building that challen
ges -the -admiration bf all who are. fa
miliar ' with theatre construction Is the
fact that -every Inch of the.Sft fbot stage
U In plaiw view from every seat In the
house. Not only, this but from tho last
row In the balcony the orchestra is
plainly risible.5.' This, fact atan stamp"
the plan of the , llolllg as &. Veritable
triumph in .theatre building designing.

IT WAS a small beginning. 'Portland
was a very green city. Horned sad
dles and big silver bits with rough
and ready Indian -ponies were; the
order of the day. Vaqueros from the
plains of eastern Oregon, and from the
huge farms of the upper valley rattled
with easy, going assurance over-. the
busiest streets, accoutered - in goatskin
shaps, telapdaah clothes in general and
dust brown sombreros. : ; v
But a change was fermenting." From
Sootland , had come a . horseman, and
though he . kept his consternation i to
himself, he was bewildered Dy tne sights
he saw . and ' the western riding that
shot past him Ik his walks. ; Quietly
and ery i diplomatically ' he-" went ' to
work. This man was James Nlcol, and
there are few riders in Portland who
have- not - beenehooled at- his hands,
for from that day to this he has con
stantly had the Interest' of , the saddle
horse at : heart, "and r the well fare , of
his rider as well. i ! .
Not long after this a plan began to
grow. In the minds of a few enthusiastic
spirits. ;At first, this was' little more
than an ! impulse, ' but it ' drew half a
score of riders together one nights-each
and all good friends of a type of horse

were no loud acclaims nor hurrahs, but

more cheers and shouts have arisen to

been proved, it is , said,,; through the
British Columbia " chain of i radlo-tele-graph
stations. ;: The . difficulties of
transmitting the current : in . certain di
rections experienced , by the., different
stations' is due to the presence of large
bodies of ore, which apparently haye a
disturbing effect on the Hertzian waves,
according to a well known mining man
here. i. ,--.;T ; r?;.
' A notable Instance of this disturbance
Is to be-found in communication between
Gonzales Hill and Pachena,,the nearest
west coast station to Victoria. The
transmission of messages' between these
two points is very difficult - Frequently
transmission falls, and the 'scientific
reason. It is said, is that the air waves
pass over land in .which is located a
large ore body. .

Supplementing this will be a course
of lectures given on Monday afternoons
beginning November . These lectures
on the history of art will be of Interest
to all art lovers. The antique art period
which . includes Greek and Roman art,
ill be covered by Miss Simmons in the
first lecture, and by members of the art
class,1 Mrs. It. W. Wilbur, Mrs. R. M.
Tuttle, ' Mrs. J. a- King. "Miss Kate
Failing, and Mrs. John Pearson. Miss
Henrietta Falling will give the first lec
ture on tnldaeval art, taking up gothio
art. Mr.- Ellis Lawrence's lecture on
Rennaissance architecture wlll be in
clusive and will be followed by a aeries
of, lectures, on paintings in Flanders,
France, Germany and Spain. Painting in
France and England during the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries will be
discussed by Miss Simmons. The nine
teenth century artists wli be taken up
by Mr. "Wenta, and nineteenth century
art and crafts by Mr. Doyle. : C. E. S.
Wood will conclude the course with a
lecture on "Impressionism."
The exhibition now on at the Art
Museum will be closed October 17 and
will be followed by an oil painting ex

the prints and etchings which have al
ready been secured fop-i exhibit some
very valuable and Interesting things will
be sent from New York. Miss Crocker,

and. wounded feelings have healedthat
has. good cause to be remembered. - It
was in the autumn, ana a tine open
steeplechase course had been selected,
with a careful eye to a spectaoular fin

grandstand. ' L ,.
There wad to be' one Liverpool Jump
across a narrow or Bhallow pool, Just
beyond a thick but low hedge of brush.
But in the silent watches of the night
there "came a quiet but brisk, and heavy
rain, Yet whe the dawn, lightened
with a ' bright, open sky and smiling
sun, 1 who remembered that he r had
dreamed of a shower spattering the roof
above his head? No one remembered,
until ; the' radiant "steeplechaser ahead,
who iiad- a noble lead that made winning
all .but certain,, rose In the air to ; his
hunters Drave jump rose - aDove me
thick hedge and saw a good sized young
lake confronting him, .
Disappear la Water. '
The rest of .the story is hazy. Per
haps that rider in the air wavered in
his enthusiasm for this particular brand
of sport, perhaps he struggled tb draw
rein. But If -he ? wavered, not so "'his
horse. Nobly he sailed through the air
and right nobly, indeed, he splashed Into
the lake and disappeared up to hla neck.
Horse and, rider were engulfed In waves
that rose and swelled and rolled against
the-shore.;'.;-; t '...'.;;
TTfere were riders not far behind, and
carefully they skirted that muddied pool
looking for their comrade. Luckily he
and his hunter rose together to the sur
face, and were towed ashore.' And the
rest of; the race was run In the heat of
so much laughter that no one r among
the judges or the aiidlenoa has any dis
tinct remembrance who won or'who was
distanced... -.; ... -:-. ..

aid, "a glorious run can be ipade clear,
to Oswego. The country is beautiful,
not too open and not too thick. Fine
old mads through the woods and splen
did fields, larjra and rolling to crops'
Then back to the club for supper and
to talk over the-Incidents .of the run and
then a quiet Jog home in the gloamjiia."
That Is the fortunate, part, that the
club has won a home for itself that wd
be reached by many beautiful country
roads, not noisy, motor-infested high
ways. It Is said that no large eastern
city has its club grounds so near and
accessible, and that this Is a constant
regret to riders and Hunt club members
there. ,-..-' , ' . . - '
And after the horse show the hunting
season will begin, and It Is the hope
that in. another year a pack of hounds
will be added to Increase tha sport, and
