JAMES NELL AND
HIS COMPANIES
HE Is INTERESTED IN FOUR EN-
TERPRIsEs-NEILL STOCK COM
PANY AT PORTLAND A SUCCESS.

Actor James Neill has several irons
in the fire. He Is interested in several
theatrical ventures all of which have
proved satisfactory to date. Principal
of these is the tour of the Orient Oy
the Neill-F rawley organization, which
opened in Manila, Philippines. This Is
an amalgamation of the Frawley and
NELL interests, although the personnel
of the company is virtually the same
as the old Frawley troupe. 1t is head
ed by 7. Daniel Frawley, and Mary
Van Buren, Is the leading lady. Other
members of the company are Mr.. Am
DRY, and Wallace Shaw, the inimitable
Fouche in Madame Sans Gene" The
company Is playing Secret Service"
Sans Gene" "Trilby," shenandoah"
in fact the entire Frawley repertoire.
Mr.. Neil states that altogether sew
en- thousand dollars worth of tickets
had been purchased for the voyage
both ways. According to an Oriental
exchange received the company played
to crowded houses in Japan. They
have finished their itinerary there and
are now at Manila, for Mr. Neill receiv-
ed a cable stating that they had sue
cessful opening at Manila.
Another enterprise in which Mr.. Neill
is concerned is the Neill Stock Com
pany in Portland, Oregon, which is
now in it's seventh week, 1t is incor-
porated under the laws of tho state,
one-third of the stock being held by
Mr.. Neill, the remainder being controll-
ed by Messrs. Heilig and George Bak-
err the latter being the proprietor of
the theatre in which the company is
playing. Robert Morris, who has been
Mr.. Neills stage manager for seven
years, is his personal representative
there So far the company has been
gratifyingly successful
But there is one venture in which
Mr., Neill is probably more deeply in
terested than in any of those mention
ed. 1t is not a financial interest but
the sOlicitude which a teacher has for
a clever pupil who has graduated from
his instruction. This is the present tour
of his niece. Miss Mary e. Forbes, who
is now starring Independently in Bar
bara Freitchie." She has displayed no
little courage in taking to the road her
self, and Judging by comments of the
Sound cities press, where she is now
playing her venture, has been attend
ed with success.

CANALS.
The Nicaraguan and Panama Routes
Compared.


The Isthmian canal measure, which
has finally been adopted, provides for
a special Government loan of $3.50, O00,
900 at two per cent, and authorizes the
President to purchase the property of
the present Panama Canal Company,
provided it is able to convey a good
title and will sell for no more than for
ty million dollars. Otherwise, and if
satisfactory terms cannot be made by
the government of Colombia, he is to
Nicaraguan route. Aside from the con-
tinuous threat of destruction by vol
canoes which would hover over a canal
through Nicaragua, the advantages of
the Panama route are extensive. It's
length will be but forty-nine miles as
against one hundred and eighty-three
via Lake Nicaragua, and there is a
satisfactory natural harbor at each
end. The estimated cost of construction
is lower by some $45, 100000, and the es-
timated annual cost of maintenance is
placed at two million dollars or but
siXty-five per cent of that of the rival
route. There is also less elevation to
be overcome by locks and a favorable
difference of more than twenty-siX
miles in the entire length of curvature.
Thus a canal via Panama will be both
cheaper and more serviceable, and, if
any must be built, the choice of routes
has undoubtedly been made with wis
dom. 1t is safe to say however, that
by either route the final cost will be
much greater than any of the official
estimates and that either there will be
much less tonnage than has been urg-
ed as probable by the advocates of the
canal or that the chief result of the
canal when in use will be to create dis
ordinations in transportation charges
that will work seriously to the disad-
vantage of the interior portion of the
United States. Possibly this disadvan-
tage may accrue, without the canal
ever receiving any very heavy traffic,
on account of the influence upon the
adjustment of the rates charged for
transportation via other routes.
