"The Cat and the FidJle," the
merry musical extravasxinza of tho
present season, will be presi-nt-ed at
the new Oregon theater Frid.iy, Oc
tober 9.
As the title Indicates, the play tells
of the wonderful doings of the peo
ple cf another world In connection
with some of those of our own flesh
flesh and blood. The motif of the
tory is this: In a far-away island
the Island of Eye, the great Eye
rules over the destinies of the peo
ple. The nominal kinjr. Great Gobs,
and his consort. Queen Circe, are the
rulers so long as the Eye Is kept
open, but every 100 years a sacrifice,
in the guise of a young girl with a
strawberry mark on her left arm,
has to be offered ns a token for the
continuance of the reign of the Eye.
Unless the sacrifice Is offered, the
Eye closes and Great Gobs and Queen
Circe loose their rower and the Ge
nii, with the Cat and the Fiddle, who
have been Imprisoned In a jar in .the
bowels of the Catskill mountains for
600 years, are restored to the throne.
The play opens with Great Gobs
and Circe finding the girl Polly, In
the vicinity of Kokomo, Ind. While
Polly, her lover (Wilfred) and their
friends are on a cruise the ship drifts
towards the Island of Eye. The wish
ing ray from the eye beams on the
ship the villain wishes the vessel to
sink end all are washed ashore, or
rather into the sea.
The second acx opens with every
one saved and on the Isle of Eye.
Great Gobs and Circe relentlessly
keep up their search for Polly, but
are foiled by her friends. In the
meantime, Happy, a tramp, finds the
Jar of the Genii, breaks it open and
releases the Genii and the Cat and
the Fiddle; whereupon the Genii be
comes his slave forever and any wish
Happy may ask is granted, providing
the Cat and the Fiddle are present.
The last act finds Polly in the pow
er of 3reat Gobs, who is to offer her
as a sacrifice to the Eye, which Is al
most closed. He is about to triumph
notwithstanding the efforts of her
friends to release her, when the Cat
Rrid the Fiddle, Happy and the Genii
appear on the scene. The Eye closes
forever, Gobs and Circe are dethron
ed, and the Genii and the Cat and
the Fiddle come Into power again.
Happy wishes that he, Polly Wilfred,!
Mike. H.ms and the rest or the mor
tals be transported back to America,
whereupon they all sail skyward,
homeward bound, leaving the Cat
and the Fiddle and the beautiful
Genii in full power as absolute rulers
of the Island of Eye.

I.ONGWOBTII TELLS OF
ROOSEVELT'S DESIRE
Son Nick' ruornncc of Tlnn to Bring
Teildy Pnck to White House for
Eight Years After Taft Has Had
His Term Considered Grcntcst Tnc-I
Ileal Illumlrr of Present Campaign
ITelicc,! He Will P.c Remenv
txrel With Duchnrd.
Chicago, Oct. 5. The utterance of!
Congressman Longworth, son-in-law
of President Roosevelt, that Taft!
should be kept eight years in the
White house and then Roosevelt;
should be elected in 1916, to remain
president two terms, supplied the sen-I
satlon for today. His speech at Ster-:
ling. 111., has caused Longworth to
be dubbed generally by politicians
"the Furchard of the Taft campaign."!
Opinions naturally have varied as'
to the significance of the statement;!
Pome say Xlck has let out a state se-'
cret which will enrage many repub
lican politicians and cause the aliena
tion of a large support, and that he
has merely let the cat out of the bag.
John E. Lamb, in Charge of Demo
cratic headquarters, said:
"There is evidence that Longworth
has let slip an Intimation of plans
actually laid. It explains the presi
dent's anxiety to get Taft nominated,
and the present fight he is making,
by using the machinery of the feder
al government, to force his election.
The president is talked off for United
States senator from Xew Tork. If
chosen his term would end almost ex
actly In eight years. Such an out
come would give Roosevelt and Taft
between them practically 24 years, or
a quarter of a century, in control of
the government.
IfT. I .. . L . 1. n t T AH U 1
hecome the Rureharrt of thl cnmJ
paign for the republicans'
Chroniclers have recalled that once
before "Nick" revealed state secrets
for which he was roundly scolded by
the president, When at Manila he'
gave out an Interview saying the pres
ident might accept renomlnatlon. La
ter it developed that the president had
used that threat to force Taft's nomi
nation, really meaning It, serving no
tice on certain opponents of Taft to
that effect.
The most noliceable feature of the
discussion Is that Taft's partisans re
sent Longuorth's utterance, as tielng
them up too closely with Roosevelt.
In connection with the preparation
of a report for the conservation com
mission recently appointed by the
president, the United States geologl
cal survey has undertaken to make a
complete census of the water powers
of the country, including data as to
the amount of power that Is now de
veloped on the various streams and
the prominent streams and the
amount available for future utiliza
tion. A somewhat similar work was un
dertaken In 1SS0 in connection with
the tenth census of the United States
as a result of which two volumes on
the subject, one relating to streams
east of the Mississippi nnd the other
to western streams were published.
Since the preparation of that report
an Immense amount of formation In
regard to surface water resources in
various parts of tho country has beeri
collected by the United States geologi
cal survey, and this Information, em
bldied In the survey records, serves as
a basis for the present census.
The work of preparing the census
is divided among nine hydrographie
districts, each under the charge of a
district engineer, who, with a corps
of trained assistants, devotes his en
tire time to studying the conditions
affecting stream flow In the group of
states assigned to him.

says: "I have used Doan's Kidney
Pills off and on for three or four
years and the best possible results
have always been obtained. An
overexertion or the contraction of a
cold often served to bring on back
ache and at such times my kidney
would be weak and I would be great
ly annoyed by dizzy spells. I would
be restless and nervous and as a re
sult of the loss of sleep, would arise
In the morning feeling tired and worn
out. Learning of the merits of
Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a I
box, took them according to direc
tions and they relieved me at once. I
have kept them in the house since as
I have the greatest confidence In
them. When I feel any of the attacks
coming on I immediately resort to
