BRIGHT AND CLEVER.
Beach & Bowers Minstrcls Please Big
Crowd in Portland
Oregonian of Inst Monday.

Oregonian of last Monday.
Manager Cordray seems to he par
ticularly fortunate this season in bill
ing attractions that are house-tillerS,
and not only that, but the class of
shows is decidedly above the average,
and last nights bill was no exception.
Old-time minstrelsy held the boards
and Beach & Bowers bright company
afforded lots of fun and entertain
ment. There is not dull moment
and not wait between acts from the
Introductory overture with its Elks
coloring and setting, until that smart
little terrier, Fox" does his wonder
full back somersault in the last act Of
the olio. The minstrel boys are
young, active and up to date, and
seem untiring in their efforts to
please. There is the orthodox club
juggler, and the musical team, with
their specialties upon numerous in
struments, but in Beach & Bowers
show the latter is not only musical,
but replete with laughter-provoking
absurditics. The remainder of the
olio is strongly acrobatc, the two
teams of tumblers and knockabout
acrobats being worthy of more than
passing mention. The attractive fca-
ture of the show is certainly the olio.
In the first part the audience is not
tired by lengthy minstrel end-men
stories, rs the joke part is all short
and pithy. The singing is looked
after by Eddie Nixon, in his opening
song, "My Georgia Rose" Lou
Ware, with n pleasing baritone voice
sang "Pd Like to Hear That Song
Again" and Joe Williams strange
quality of falsetto tenor voice was
heard in "The Camps Sweet Singer"
The coon gambling joint, upon the
appearance of the police by stage
trickery turned into a prayer meeting,
led without break into the vaudeville
part of the show. Lou Knetzger
opens with an Indian club-juggling
act. Harry Freeman and the Smith
brothers do turn in tumbling and
balancing that has not been duplicat-
ed in this city. Woody Van varies
the programme by monologue. Dan
Gordon's trick.riding act showed
Portland riders several new and intri-
cate features, while his act on one

Tacoma in a Ferment.


for determined fight against the
proposition OF Land Commissioner
Bridges for leasing school section 1G.
which lies mainly within the limits of
the city under that mushroom growth
that was once deemed to be possible
under the Notwithstanding Star of Dcs-
tiny
The Ne"s says that people who con-
templatcd leasing from the State are
becoming uneasy under the prospect
OF litigation which may disturb their
tenancy and impair the use of any ac-
quired right from the State. This is
doubtless the object of the contest
more than any hope of permanently
dopriving the State of the benefits
to be derived from peaceable possession
and absolute control of the tract.
The protests filed with the Commits
sioner allege grave errors in the plat,
and the report of the Tacoma Health
officer is exhibited in which the pre-
tense is set up that the proposed set
Element of the tract without having
first provided an adequate sewer sys-
tenn Is a menace to Il portion OF the
city's water supply. a defect in not
providing for the construction of
streets and water pipes is alleged as
another matter for serious considera-
ton.
Commissioner Bridges has been in
formed that the City Council will seek
restraint OF the courts of any attempt
to lease the property, and as an earn
est of that disposition has, by resolu-
ton, instructed the City Attorney to
take such steps as he may deem ad-
visable in the courts or otherwise to
prevent if possible the threatened leas-
ing OF school section 16 until the State
shall have provided for the construc-
ton of streets, sewers and water pipes
at its own expense within the section,
and has also provided for fair con-
tribution to the expense of maintain
ing the fire and police departments
street lighting and other expense of
the local municipal government of the
city of Tacoma.
AS the State has no fund applicable
to this purpose, it is hoped that the
peoples representative-the Commits
sioner-will be literally "held up" by
that condition.
Judge Pritchard, who has the matter
in charge for the city, expresses the
opinion that while the Constitution
gives the right to lease for a period of
five years, the proposal of the Land
Commissioner to dedicate streets is
open to question and may be reversed
by the next commissioner, so the lessee
of a lot or two may find himself effec-
tually shut in with no way to get off
the section. 1t is likewise quite clear
to him that the provision of the Con.
stitution which says the public lands
cannot be given away, will block the
proposed gift to the city OF the streets
and render the plat void.
So it appears that the City of Des-
tiny, if one felt inclined to form an
opinion from its statement of facts
and conclusions of law, has splendid
ground for its contention. but it must
be borne in mind that the whole OBJ.
ject is to brighten people against secur-
ing leases from the State, and for that
purpose sophistry and falsehood may
serve as we'll as fair presentation of
facts and a well-grounded legal opin-
ion upon constitutional law. We
shall see.
