INTO THE FAR WEST.
Rock Island May Extend Its
Line to Portland,
Ore.
l,4oO MILES OF NEW TRACK
Officers of Company Anxious tc
Build Into That Terri
tory.

1t is reported that the Chicago.
Rock Island X Pacific has contracted
the building fever and will extend its
line TO Portland. Ore. Denver is now
the western terminus of this road and
its officers have long been anxious to
push farther west. more particularly
into the fertile northwest coast terri
tory. An officer of the Rock Island.
while in Portland recently, said that
his road intended to make that city
it's western terminus. He said the
final survey had been finished betwee n
Denver aud Ogden and that track lay
ing on that part of the extension
would begin this summer. A pre-
liminary survey has been m ide BE-
tween Ogden and Portland, the dis
tance being 1000 miles.
The distance of the proposed exter =
sion from Denver to Ogden would be
,bout l 400 miles and the route that
is said 20 have been selected will prt =
sent few serious engineering prot
lens.
VIII Better Western system.
There is little room Tor DOUBT that
extensions by this company and by
the Burlington will be made west from
Denver, bat just where the Rock Isl
and will end IS still matter of con-
lecture. These roads, as we'll as all
others that go no further west than
eastern Colorado, are handicapped for
connections to the coast, and these
connections, the Rio Grande roads and
the Southern Pacific, have been very
arbitrary in their ira affic arrangements
to the far western districts over
which they have had absolute mouop-
olies. The entrance OF the Santa Fe
into San Francisco has also been g big
factor in influencing its competitors
out Of Chicago TO get their lines to the
coast. The Santa Fe Is now entirely
independent of other lines on business
between Chicago and the east and San
Francisco and other California points.
Officers of competing roads, plrtjcu
arly the Rock Island and Burlington.
realize the impregnable position of
the Santa Fe and they are anxious to
have their lines obtain similar geo
graphical grips.

STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS

Attorney j. M. Vivas suffered Sc
we're stroke of paralysis on Friday and
he Is now at the Honolulu Sanitarium
in very serious condition.
Some time ago Mr.. Vivas had slight
attack of paralysis, from which he
thought he had entirely recovered. II
affected the right side only the muscles
of the face being particularly trouble
some. But on Friday Mr.. Vivas suf-
fered another stroke while on the
streets and so serious did his condition
seem at the outset that his recovery
was despaired of. He was taken TO his
house first and later to the sanitarium,
where he has since been. Under the
care Of the physicians there Mr.. Vivas
improved somewhat and his condition
yesterday was much more favorable
although his right side is almost en-
tirely paralyzed.
Mr.. Vivas is one of the best known
Portuguese in the city. He Is an old
resident having come to the Islands
with the first of the Portuguese colony.
He has been prominent among his peo-
pie always. He was member of the
Constitutional Convention of 1884. was
for some time Portuguese interpreter
for the courts and has held other pub
lie positions.

house. Beginning with the matinee to-
morrow 1.-THE Katzenjammer Kids" will
give a continuous supply of farce-comedy
of the most hilarious variety for three
days, terminating Wednesday night. Read
ers of the illustrated papers are familiar
with the eccentric cartoons showing the
funny pranks and iudicrous situations OF
these kids and many quiet laughs have
been provoked by the Enthusiastically colored
pictures. Invested with life and action
upon the stage, the Katzenjammers are
thousand times funnier than they could
ever be upon a printed page. A large and
carefully chosen company of laugh makers
has been gathered together under this
unique title, and these people have met
with success everywhere they have pre-
sented their bright, fresh farcical enter
tainment, filed with clever specialties OF
the highest class. At the head of the or
ganiZation are the BlondellS, Edward and
Libbie, who need no Introduction to Park

where, to be among the foremost opponents
of broad comedy in this country. The sup
porting company includes Leonora Wilson,

Sam Il. Jack Company.

Manager Zimmerman, OF the Empire
Theater, offers his patrons another week Of
burlesque and vaudeville in Sam 7. Jacks
own burlesque company. which opens to-
morrow afternoon. 1t is claimed there are
forty people in the company and two big
burlesques will be presented. One of the
principal dancers Is Mabel Hazleton, who
is said to be woman of unusual grace and
beauty. "a Warm Reception" is the eye
opener" 1t is a happily conceived satire
on the eccentricities of the four hundred.
The concluding burlesque is a humorous
satire on the Klondike craze and forms
new framework for the costuming of a
score of shapely girls. That unctuous old
timer, Ed Morris, and the witty Jennie La
mont, lead the comedy in both burlesques.
In the olio Griffin and Cunningham appear
In challenge buck and wing dancing. There
are also the French quadrille dancers; Miss
Sarah Morris, operate songster; Mabel
Hazeton and Addie Fell, star soubrettes;
the Oriental pas-ma-la by twelve young
women; Mile. Beatrice, novelty contortion
dancer; Maddox and Wayne, the messen-
ger boy and the Thespian, and the sensa-
tween the vaudeville turns series of gor-
claimed for this company that it is
equipped with more novel and original
points of merriment than any organization
now in the burlesque field. The tableaux
are of such size, ii is said that the entire
stage is taken up in presenting them.
There will be performances every after
noon and evening
