production of Alabama by the Frawleya
last night The . shifting plays .of the
lores and hates': of '-the. figures of the
drama moving among all the sensuous
glories of the land of the palmetto gave
the players- an opportunity to appeal to
their -audience in a way which was taken
advantage of to the fullest extent and
was most satisfying.
The work of Benjamin Howard as the
Southern . boy r metamorphosed by the
strenuous life Of the, North was a fine
piece or work and pn different occasions
received the commendation It so well
merited. His work lit the third act where
the fireflies flit among the . lush foliage
was one of the prettiest things seen In
Portland for many a day and was greet
edwith an outburst of generous ap
plause which' showed that the hearts as
well ai the senses of the house were
touched.
While the work of- the company as. a
Whole was excellent, the way In which
Mlnnette Barrett bandied the part of tha
"Alabama blossom" is worthy of special
mention. She waa natural and simple
and lost no opportunity the part afford
ed. When all is said the teat of the suc
cess of a play Is Us appeal to the hearts
of the audience and there was not only
many a hearty laugh but also many a
teardimmed eye at Alabama last night

OUR
MONMOUTH NORMAL
Portrait of Its Founder Being
Painted Here. :
A life-size portrait of the late T. F.
Campbell, founder and first president of
the . Christian College, now" the ' Mon
mouth Normal School, Is being painted
in this city by Artist Moore. It is to
be presented .to the school by the Me
morial Association just formed .by the
alumna of the Christian College, the
Columbia College, the Normal School and
the State Normal School, all now being
Included in the latter establishment.
The aaaociatlon has now about 650 mem
bers, and its purpose is to subscribe
each year to a fund, to be used in se
curing a painting of some person con
nected with the early history of the in
stitution, or its most important later,
events. ' '- . . . ,
The portrait now being produced Is a
$600 painting. The later portraits will
be smaller. Thla will be unveiled in
the chapel during the commencement ex
ercises, which, will begin June 18 and con
tinue several day.
As token of the-especial esteem In
which Mr. Campbell Is held on account
of his being the founder of the college,
this portrait will be placed at the end
of the chapel, being given the most prom
inent position. The chapel Is 80 feet long
and 40 feet wide, with the -celling An cone.
shape. With this hung at the end. and
the smaller paintings that are yet to ae
made around the sides of the room, the
chapel will soon have the, effect Intend
ed "by the association that of a memo
rial hall.
The alumnae are assessed $1 each tor
the painting, and hereater will pay dues
of 60 cents per year. They will havs
the choice of the cptation. In order of
their services to the Institution will prob
ably come Hon, Ira R. fi. Butler, now
residing In Monmouth, who was president
of the corporations of the Christian Col
lege and of Columbia College.
Mr. Butler has resided at Monmouth
many years, and has been connected with
the college since Its foundation In 1870.
He will celebrate his 90th birthday on
May 22, and Is still strong and hearty
for one greatly younger in years..
Next In the roll of honor will proba
bly come Mr. Lucas, father of Receiver
Lucas of The Dalles land office. He was
secretary of the corporation of which
Mr. Butler was president.
On account of the great esteem In which
President Prince Lucien Campbell was
held by all connected with the school, he
will doubtless precede many of thoae con
nected w'th the earlier history of Mon
mouth educational establishments.
The Columbia College was changed by
act of Legislature to a normal school In
1892 and to a state normal school In 1900.
WHY DO WE ALLOW IT?
Shippers from Portland are sending
flour to the Orient by way of Tacom
and San Francisco, although, several of
the vessels have been obliged to leave
this port with light cargoes. The Oeorge
W. Elder carried 34,000 sacks to San
Francisco to be reshipped from there to
the Orient. Yesterday a heavy shipment
of flour was made by rail to Tacoma
where it will be loaded on a steamer
bound for China and Japan. Shortly af
ter the Strathgyle sailed from! here about
23,000 barrels of flour were shipped to
Tacoma and thence to the Orient. In
this way the ports north and south of
here Increase' their volume of export
trade at the expense of Portland. ...
TRAINMEN'S EXCURSIONS
The big pleasure event of the season
will be the excursion to be given by th
Railroad Trainmen to The Dalles on Bun
day, May 23. Every possible arrange
ment has been made to make the trip
one of unalloyed pleasure, and the fact
that the Portland, McMlnnville and Al
bany bands will accompany the excur
sion will Insure an abundance of good
music. It will be a winner. You can't
afford to stay away.

RALLY
At Upchurch Hall on
Monday Evening.
Citizens' Candidates Cheered as
They March dn Their Way.
Friends of the Cltlxsns ticket assem
bled in foroe last Bight at Upchurch ball
to emphasise their Interest In th gen
eral movement among all classes of cltl
ten to purge Multnomah County of th
bane of ring rule. The meeting was held
Under the auspices of th Second Ward
CiUxens' Club, composed of residents, of
precinct No. , and when Chairman Mai
ley called the assembly to order every
eat ' In the hall waa occupied and
tapdlng room Was at a premium. Th
Speakers were numerous, but they played
no favorites, each and every one talking
In behalf of the entire Cltlsens ticket
and urging its , election.
" A Civil War Veteran.
Colonel Shaw, a veteran of the Civil
War, waa th first Of the speaker in
troduced. H announced that he was
not a candidate' for any office, but had a
lively Interest in the success of the Citi
zens' ticket. H spok, he said, a an
old-soldier wanted to, can to mind how
the. veterans of the Civil War have been
treated by th . so-caned Republican
party of Multnomah County. He had
worn th uniform of a Union soldier
from the first rail to arms until the en
emy sued for peace, 'and claimed it waa
the Union' soldiers Who had made the Re
publican party and the few still living
now found their only reward In klcka
and cuffs. ""
Pays Some Compliments.
"Th greatest enemy of the old soldier
today Is the man who pose In th tall
tower," aald Colonel Shaw; "th man
who edlta th Oregonlan, who 1 the
most malicious and damnabl enemy of
th soldiers, north or south.
"I was among the- first to bring about
this CltlsMis' movement ,and have been
working hard In its interest ever sine
it waa started. We have 2000 veterans of
the Civil War here, 7J pr cent of whom
will vot th straight Citizens' ticket.
When th Republican convention met
and representation was asked for th old
soldier on the ticket, w were told there
was no need of recognising old soldier.
a th Republican party had their vote,
anyway." . '.
Dr. 6. J. Barber, candidate on the
Citizens' ticket for th Legislature and
a member of the Grand Army of th Re
public, alao poke In behalf of the entlr
ticket and the ill treatment meted out
to thoae who filled the ranks of,the Union
army during the7 period of our Civil
War. He claimed that when Jack Mat
thews attempted to control th Republi
can party in Oregon It was time for ev
ery decent Republican to protest, and
that Is why so many Republican are
Identified with the Cltlsen' movement
He asked how long since Judge Williams
represented all factlona on the Republi
can ticket, and. If the venerable gentle
man waa so opposed to fusions, why It
was he took the stump a few years ago
and advocated . th election of a fusion
candidate for Mayor aa against the regu
lar Republican nomine. Mr. Barber
then referred to th statement mad by
H. W. Scott of th Oregonlan, in his
presence, that It was not light to hang
Wade and Dalton, the cowardly murder
ers of young Morrow, but that Instead
they should have been put In the United
State army. Dr. Barber protested
against any such disposition of convicted
murders,' when Mr. Scott said that at th
close of the Civil War one-half of the
Union army waa made up of criminal
tike Wade and Dalton. , "That." aald Dr.
Barber,, "is the man who wants to go
to th United States 8enat. If you
want me to go to the Legislature, vot
for me; but if you want H. W, Scott to
go to the United State Senate, you had
better not support me, for he will never
get my vote."
Represents the Laborers.
M. C. Davis, a member of th Station
ary Engineers' Union and candidate for
the Legislature, as a representative or
the laboring men mad a short but con
vincing address, setting forth that labor
does not ask or demand impossibilities,
but simply Justice, and in order to se
cure it the working classes want th
opportunity to have a vole in framing
laws for their benefit and protection. He
urged every one to vote for th initiative
and referendum, a measure stolen from
the Populist party, which the Oregonlan
but a few yeara ago bitterly denounced,
and aald Its advocates were only long
haired Populists and wlldeyed anarch
ist. Lane in Good Form.
Dr. Harry Lane, candidate for State
Senator, was in good form last night and
Was warmly received when he took th
niatfnrm to make one of his short talks.
He said: "W don't hear a word from
th other side. They seem to b on a
still hunt, working on a lay-low and
keep-dark plan. They hare, only put out
one man. Judge Williams, to represent
their cause, an honorable gentleman and
an able logician- man who can talk as
well for one sld a th other. Th only
claim Judge Williams makes is that he
don't want office but accepted a nomina
tion juat to harmonise the Republican
party and had failed to do so. He urged
alt present to. vote the Citizens ticket
straight, not only for himself and Bob
Inman, but the whole ticket and, when
It was elected next June, he would as
sure the people of Portland that th
Philippine Islands would be retained.
- "Why are They 8ilntf"
- O. E. Moser aroused the "enthusiasm of
the audience in his remarks when be
akd why It was that the candidate .on.
th machine ticket did not come before
th people and present thlr claim for
support The reason why was simply " the
fact that these same men had been
fighting the Republican, party w Mult-
nomah .County for years and nowthat
way sad been mustered into tnr service
of Jaek Matthews. Imagined themselves
Republicans but had no . erdatia4 to
show for It, Speaking of pulling down
the flag In the Philippines the speaker
pertinently asked who-was going to do
It? Waa Captain McDonell or Robert
p'NeU. who had helped to pat th Sag
there, going to pull it down, or would
thos who had refused to put a single
candidate on their ticket who had fought
for th Stars and Stripes T
Mr. Moser stated that not a Legislative
candidal on the Citizens' ticket had been
pledged to anything save the platform
on which they stood and they met, with
the support of all elements in the com-'
munlty. The purpose of the Citizens
movement was to give to the people an
honest, conomical administration of af
fairs and to smash all machines. ,
, Belongs to Carpenters' Union. -A,
F. Velguth, ,of the i Carpenters
Union, candidate for th Legislature, said
the time had come when representatives
of th laboring classes were going to
tak an active part in politic. The bal
lot was more far-reaching and effective
than argument and brought out better
results than either strikes or boycotts, as
had been recently hown In the settle
ment of the carJ rivers' strike in San
Francisco through the firm stand tak A
by th citizen Mayor.
W want just th same kind of a man
In Portland and we will,. . have him In
"Sawmill Bob." We must do mors than
lect him, stand by th whole ticket from
top to bottom.
Tho Painters' Uniorn
E. A. Austin, of th Painters' Union,
candidate for th Legislature; Frank
Heltkemper, member of the present Leg
islature and a candidate for re-election,
hnd H. B. Nicholas followed In succes
sion, all speaking In defense, of the Citi
zens' ticket and inviting voters to support
It without regard to party. J. E. War
leln, R. J. O'Nell, R. W. Thompson, Lou
Wagner and Nat Foelles each made short
but effective speeches, presenting their
claims for recognition and advocating
the election of the Cltlsens' ticket as a
whole. .
Bob Inman, People's Man.
R. Dr Inman, the people's candidate for
Mayor, ' made one of his characteristic
speeches and waa given an oration when
he aroae .and advanced to the front of
the platform. He spoke of the good ser
vice performed by some of the present
countf an J city officials and the un just
ness shown them by1 th Republican
machine managers in falling to reward
efficient performance of duty by renom
fnatlon. Referring to himself he said he
had no special promises to make. He
would do all in bis power, as Mayor, that,
would be for -the best Interest of the
people of Portland. It waa time, he
thought, for the people to get th moss
off' their backs as well as their house
roofs, and be prepared to show the
crowds of visitors in 1906, during the great
fair, that .Portland waa a model city.
CrowtJ was Interested.
Owing to the number of apeakers the
meeting was not concluded until a late
hour, but tha crowd showed Its great In
terest by remaining until the close. It
was a most successful meeting, viewed
from a political standpoint and showed
that the people' of "the Second ward are
taking a lively Intereat in the success of
the Citizen' ticket

THE MARKETS.
Much better Condition prevailed in the
wholesale district on Front street today.
Business was quite a bit livelier than
yesterday and several changes in quota
tions attracted the attention of the
merchants.
The grain market It rather firm with
a slight advance on bluestem and valley,
the acarclty of which was noticed In th
markets today. Walla Walla is quoted
at 66 rents, bluestem 6TV4 cents and val
ley 66 cents. - Th market. Is moving
very slowly. Reports from throughout
the state show that the growing crop Is
in an excellent condition and the pros
pects are that 4 larger crop will be pro
duced than -last season.
Butter, eggs and cheese are quiet at
published quotations. Poultry Is coming
In in large ' receipt but th demand Is
quite good and there Is no surplus stock
on the market Quotation are the same.
The California steamer will arrive from
San Francisco late thia evening and a
fresh supply of greens will be on sale
In the markets tomorrow morning. There
waa a slight slump in the quotations of
the best Burbank potatoes yesterday af
ternoon, the price going down to JL60
and 31.63. Large receipts from the farm
ers in the neighborhood has glutted th
market, as the dealers thought that the
farmers had disposed of all of their pro
duce and the large receipts yesterday
was so unexpected that quotations drop
ped with a dull thud.
All other quotations remain the same
as yesterday.
