HITS ACTORS CONTRACTS
Closing Of Theaters on Sunda.
Affects Actors.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Tne theat-
rical profession is greatly worried
over a judicial decision just handed
down, which holds that a vaudeville
performer may not recover damages
for breach of contract when the agree
ment called for Sunday performances.
since all Sunday exhibitions are con-
trary to the law. Any contract en-
tered into for a Sunday performance
must be considered null and void.
The case in which this decision was
rendered is that Of Fred Hallen, an
actor, against Thompson & Dundy,
proprietors of the Colonial Music hall,
for the recovery Of $500 damages for
alleged breach of contract. The evil
dence showed that Mr.. Hallen agreed
to appear at the Colonial Music nall.
He asserted that Thompson & Dundy
before the completion of his contract
called for his resignation, and upon his
refusal discharged him, asserting that
under the Sunday law his contract
was void.

rurpEIs VERY LITTLE DEMAND
AT THE PRESENT TIME FOX
GRAIN.
Mills Are Proceeding Cautiously About
Maxine Purchases Beyond Re-
quirement for Immediate ose'

The past week has witnessed con-
4inuation of the period of decided quiet
:, tho wheat market. There has been
barely enough doing to maintain quo
+ations at other than a nominal level.
The slump in interest in this STAPLE
cereal is traceable almost entirely 10
the fact that Europe has taken on all
the wheat which the markets seem To
reo,,ire for the immediate future, ana
the recent conservatism among buy-
ing interests, says the West Coast
Trade printed at Tacoma. There Is
very little present demand from any
quarter. The mills are proceeding eau
tiously about making purchases beyond
the requirements for immediate future,
because of the fact that the export call
for -four has shown rather uncertain
tendencies of late. California is still
taking a lot Of wheat, but is not buy
ing much at present, because lmme-
diate demands are provided for, and as
before stated, there is a decided lull
in the way of trade from Europe. One
or two cargoes have been placed dur
ing the week, but the range of prices
was not indicative of any strengthen
ing from the recent decline, and ex-
porters are offering 74c for bluestem
and 72c for club. Some interests are
maintaining that the market will stand
75c and 73c respectively, but in the alb
sence Of other sources of demand, there
is little doing at the latter figure. Hold
ers. however. are fairly we'll entrenched
in their position, and there is not mucn
wheat offering, the bulk of stocks be-
ing in strong hands, with owners still

future
While there has been a stacking Off

Oldest Woman in America Hale
and Hearty.

HILLSBORO, Ore. Dec. S.-To be
older than the United States govern
ment, to have been a toddling infant
when Washington was inaugurated
! president in the eighteenth century
and to walk erect in full possession of
her faculties under Roosevelt's admin

have witnessed all the stirring events
of woodworking century, to have
| survived out of the old time into ours,
has been the good fortune of Mrs.
Mary Ramsay Woods of Hillsboro,
Oregon, who is probably the oldest
woman in the world.
In ner one hundred and nineteenth
year Mrs. Woods is still quite active.
Daily she walks about the garden of
her daughters home, with whom she
lives, and sits upon the porch in sun
ny weather to converse with visitors.
She keeps we'll posted on the events
of the day and maintains lively in
terest in politics.
Mrs Woods was born on May 20,
1887, at Knoxville. Tenn, the year the
northwest territory was organized
and two years before the United
constitution went into effect. Her
maiden name was Ramsay and her
father burned the brick and built

She was years old when Tennessee
was admitted as a state and IS years
old when Lewis and Clark made their
famous journey to the coast.
A Widow 70 Years Ago.
At an early age Mary Ramsey mar
ried Jacob Lemons and was left a
widow 70 years ago, and the time An
drew Jackson was nearing the end
of his first term as president. AS
young matron she distinctly remem-
bers the war of 1912, when her faith
err strapped his blankets across his
shoulders, took down his old rifle
and fought the British until the
close of the struggle.
After the death of her husband she
accompanied her daughter, Mrs. c.. B.
Southworth, and ner husband, across
the plains to Oregon, arriving in
Hillsboro in 1853 She was then SO
years old, but rode a bay mare the
entire distance from Tennessee, her
daughter and her husband driving an
OK team.
Soon after arriving in HillsbOrO Mrs.
Lemons married John Woods, with
whom she lived happily for many
years. At Hillsboro she built the
first hotel, which occupied the site Of
the opera house now being construct
ed The couple ran the hotel until 40
years ago, when ner daughter, Mrs.
c. B. Reynolds, formerly Mrs. South
worth, and her only surviving child,
succeeded her in it's management.
Daughter Of rs Cares for Her.
Mrs. Woods had four children by her
first husband-Mary J. Lemons, who
died in Tennessee two years ago at
the age of 90; Isaac Lemons, VINO
died in Kansas City, Mo-, 40 years
ago, and Mrs. c. B. Ramsey, who is
now living in Hillsboro, and while rs

to the care Of her aged parent.
Mrs. Woods weighs $50 pounds,
dresses and cares for herself and
walks about the yard and the house.
She is nard of hearing and blind in

WAY.
Reaffirms Statement, However, That
Road Will be Into WaIIa WaIIa
in 18 Months.

Robert E. Strahorn, financial repre-
sentative Of the North Coast railway,
which was granted a franchise to
operate a line of railway in Walla
Walla, few weeks ago, refused to
divulge the big financial interests
he represents at meeting of the
council committee on corporations at
Seattle Wednesday afternoon. The
theory that the North Coast was a
branch of the Chicago and Milwau-
kee road was exploded when Presi-
dent H. r. Williams Of the Pacific
railway announced that the Milwau-
kee was the 'transcontinental road
behind the Pacific and that already
$1,25o,0O0 had been invested in Seat
tie tide lands.
Mr.. Strahorn declined to make pub
lie the names of his principals. At
torney Kerr, legal representative OF
the North Coast, also declined to state
VINO was behind the new road. Both
gentlemen reaffirmed however, their
declaration that they would have con-
structed and in operation 100 miles
Of road within a years time, and
it would be built to Walla WaHa
within a year and a half
Kerr Stopped Short.
Mr. Kerr declared his road was de-
signed as a part Of a transcontinenta
system, but stopped short.
City officials demanded more ex-
plicit explanations from the North
Coast railroad, but could not secure
them. Chairman Bowen of the coun-
Gil committee on corporations ques-
toned Mr.. Kerr at length, but got nc
satisfaction.
B. S. Grosscup, counsel, and Engineer
Cook of the Northern Pacific were
present at the committee meeting from
Tacoma. Other railroads were repre-
scented by L. C. Gilman, counsel an(
Alex Stewart, engineer for the Grea
Northern; James B. Howe, counsel
and James Anderson, engineer, for thu
