This is the way we like to hear a man

in Portland today. Mr. Gates owns
electric light and water plants at Hcj-

and Dallas, and his business keeps him
on the move throughout the suiie an

should judge the smaller cities of the
late had grown fully one-third in popu
lation within the past year. Kven a
little tow n like Dallas, in Polk county,
has a hundred new houses. This means
a housing capacity of 400 persons added
to Pallas, which had a population ayea
agoof 1,500. The new houses are filled
with occupants as fast as they are fin

Mr. Gate might have added that two

with their household effects, wishing to
make this city their home, but they
could not find an empty house in tow n
and were forced to inov on to some

That he has required hi mother to do

ly, to milk the cows and do the menial
ork beyond her strength. That he ha
not provided her with proper or suitable

would abuse her with harsh Insulting

The onera house w as parked to the
doors last evening with Hillsboro's let
people. It was an appreciative audience
and a painstaking, deserving cast, and
the rendition of the sacred opera,
"Oueen Father." lHtsseil off as smooth
as a professional attraction.
Esther, the liettiitiful queen, is in fa
vor at the court of Ahasuerus. Her
subjects ask that she intercedes for them
with the king and save their laud.
Though unbidden, she asks the king for
mercy, and her prayers are granted.
Haman, prime mininter to the king,
is accused of couspiring to do injustice
to the Jews, and upon au order of the
king, is executed.
The oiera last evening was under the
direction of Martin K. Robinson, and to
him, in a great measure, is due the ex
cellent presentation of this well known
and U-autiful story.
Miss I. lira Wuggener upi'cari'il in the
title role of F.sther, aud she was the re
cipient of deserving tribute ut every ap
pearance. She is a sweet singer and her
splendid voice reached the highest note.
Charles Ijtuikin, as king, curried his
part out to M-rfectiou. Though tirm as
rock, his heart melted to the plead
ings of Is'uutiful Fsther, and promised
to grant her every request, "even to
the half of his kingdom." lie wus eqnul
to every task, und his singing brought
many rounds of justly earned appluuse.
Probably the most dillicult role to por
tray is the part of Zeiesh, Human s
wife, hut Miss Stella Boscow wus equal
to the demand and sang ami acted the
part splendidly. Her duetts w ith lis
man were musically the gems of the
evening. The fuiewell scene, introduc
ing little Bessie Conii'dl us Hainan's
chilil, was particularly eflective.
As "The Prophete-s," Miss F.ulu lloyt
carried the lines splendidly. The parts
of Mordccui's sister, by Jennie Greer
Monlecoi, the Jew, by W. J. Wall; Ha
inan, by Fred Yroomaii; the High
Priest, by John Brown ; llegal, by Gil
bert Tilbury; Median l'rincefs, by Lucy
Humphreys, and Captain of the King's
Guards, by Laurel M. Hoyt, were most
excellently rendered, while the four
pages to the king, the Misses (trace Bal
lard, Grace Bath, Byrtlu Sabin and Ma
bel Gilbert won any amount of appluuse
and many compliments, especially In
the cymbal drill.
The chorus consisted of about fifty
voices, and was inspiring. The cos
t umes were rich and beautiful and the
scenes vivid aud realistic;.
A very pleasing feature of the evening
was the scurf drill introduced at the
(Queen's banquet, w hich was beautifully
executed by the King's maidens, Anna
Chalmers, Crace Robinson, Faye Cor
win, Maude Wilson, Jennie Tilbury,
Bertha Patterson, and f 'va Wcathcrred,
The King's guards. Messrs. Clarence
Hoy t, Claude Cute, Howard Buird and
Lloyd Tilbury, lis iked the part of a king's
guardsmen and added dignity to the
scenes by their formidable weapons and
military bearing. '
Miss Jennie Thome, as accompanist,
had a most dillicult part, but performed
it admirably. .
The opera will l related tonight,
and those who fuil to attend will certain
ly regret it.
TIIK STORY.
F.sther, meaning "Slur," is the Per
sian name of Hadassalw which means
Myrtle, F.sther becumu queen of Persia,
consort of Xerxes, King of the Medes
and Persians, and lived alsiut 4HH to 405
B. C. She was the niece (or some au
thorities say cousin) of Mordecui, the
Benjaminite, w ho liecame prime minister
to Persia, on the death of Hainan, the
Amelekite.
The story is that Vashti, who was
Ahasuerus or Xerxes, queen, and a very
beautiful woman, was ordered to apM?ar
U'fore the multitude that they might
see how beautiful she was, which she
refused to ols-y. The king was induced
to divorce her, or put her away from
him, as a punishment, becuuse to per
mit such a refusal, the advisers to the
King declared, would weaken men'
power over their wives. The order then
went forth for the presentation at the
Persian court of the most beautiful vir
gin from all the provinces of the king
dom from whom the King Ahuscras
should select another queen. Mordecal
caused Fsther, the Jew ish maiden, to
present herself to the King, and she
meeting with his fuvor, was accepted.
This was done without F.sther havinu
Uncovered her rsce or cople to the
King.
When sometime later Hainan, through
subterfuge, had secured the fuvor of the
King, and an order hud gone forth that
all should how down to Hainan, Morde
cal, who knew Hainan was untrust
worthy, refusal to do him honor. Hu
man, in order to destroy Mordecai, then
secured from the King an order for the
extermination of all the Jews within
the realm, claiming that their presence
there was inimical to the interest of
the King, Mordecai then plead with
Esther that she interecdo for her race.
This she could do only by forcing her
self into the King's presence against his
piwitive instructions that no one should
appear before him without his having
first given iermission, or having so or-
lereil.
She declared her nationality to the
King, the entire story was develoNs,
Itaman's duplicity and unworthiness
was discovered and he was hanged. By
this Mordecai was promoted to the post
of prime minister.
F.sther Is-canie queen in the seventh
year of Ahaseuras' reign as King of the
Medes and Persians. Ahaseuras, of bi-
bical history, and Xerxes of profane his

there are thousand of beautiful and
awe inspiring pictures on both side of
the line. Multnomah and Bridal Veil
falls alone are worth a trip of many
miles to see, and these are but two of
hundreds and thousands to be seen from
the car windows. No where in the
world can more beautiful scenery t

GLASSES SCIENTIFICALLY
TESTED.
By Dr. C. W. Roberta.
The eye is the only organ of the body
that is completely coutrollisl by the
brain, therefore, if there Is any kind of
imperfection in the refraction of the eyo
the brain must necessarily Iks on con
stunt strain to compel perfect vision
through an luicrfcct eye. This may
effect the bruin, causing what is called
asthenopia or chronic sick headache.
This constant effort on the purl of the
bruin, uses brain strength und in or
der to renew its strength the brain
draws on the nerve system for new ma
terial with which to replace the lost
Mwer necessarily useil to compel perfect
vision. Now if the nervous system it
Hrfcctly balanced it will suffer as a
whole and the htsoii with such a strain
is liable to nervous prostration, but if
there is a weak point in the nervous sys
tem, that point, Itccuuso of lack of pow
er to protect itself, will lie roblstl more
than any other part, and the (ar
son w ill have trouble ut that stint. If
it is the bronchial nerves ami muscles it
will be bronchial disease; if it is the
nerve linings of the stomach it w ill lie
stomach trouble; or it may beany other
disease that comes fiom a luck of
strength in uny of tho nerve center.
This is no longer u matter of conjecture
for thousands of cures aro lwing made
through wearing scientifically fitted
glasses, thereby stopping the loss to the
nervous system.
Dr. Rols rts is ut the Tualatin Hotel

examinations of the eyes, and refer you
to great nuiiils-rs of resMnsible eople
in the Willamette Valley, whom he has
successfully fitted with glusses during
tho past t hree years. He cuts the lenses
