Tom kid" Burke, who recently
returned from the Northwest, talks
of Cove in his own peculiar way.
This fellow Cove" says Tom, sis
a bear. He's the fastest two-handed
fighter in the country today. He
looks like human whip in the
ring. What he did to those boys
up north was a disgrace. l saw
him fight Bobby Johnson, and it
was all over so quickly that I
didn't know whether it was a biz
zard or cyclone striking the
town.
"a side view of Cove looks like
a knife blade. He has to be care
full about humping the ropes be-
cause he cuts them any time he
touches. He lost a fight over in
Montana in peculiar way. In the
second round he slipped to the
floor His sharp elbow struck first,
and after 10 seconds were counted
it was found that he had tackled
himself TO the canvas"

THE SPOKANE.

Whether "The Strength of the
Weak" presented last night by
Florence Roberts and her COM
pany is Of any real value de-
ponds upon the age, experience
and temperament of the spectator,
The scheme of the play is not the
sort that sends the audience home
happy. In plain English it COM
mences in the betrayal of a young
girl by an elderly married man
and ends in the suicide Of the girl
when the plot develops her de-
ceiver and the man who is deter
mined to wed her in spite of her
confessed past as father and SON
Between the first and last act a
great deal of emotional acting falls
to the part of Miss Roberts in he's
encounters with the faithfuless
and the faithful in turn. The oh
ject of the play is the portrayal o.
the injustice done woman by
social custom who has fallen into
early error and makes an attempt
to atone for the past. Strong en-
phasis is laid on the comparison
between such woman and the
man who has violated the moral
law, but finds no barrier erected
against him because of that fact.
t., Dnhnrtc in
tains her reputation for emotional
acting. The two prominent male
characters, the father and son, are
average, but not entirely equal to
the demands of their parts. The
balance of the company merely
supplies filler incidental to the
play.
The effect of the production is
one of the elements Of the prob
lem 1t depicts deplorable
phase of humanity with which the
public is already familiar and
teaches nothing except that a
woman who goes wrong is certain
to get the worst of it in the end
no matter what her efforts may de-
serve. The denoument of father
and son adds a complicated piece
! of machinery to the plot, and this
conveys nothing edifying or in
structive to the auditor. Such 4
thing might happen in this Pc
culiar world, bubt there is no good
reason in that why Florence Rob
erts should portray the possibility
on the stage.
That the plot, such as it is, is
ingeniously worked out, and that
the star performs the work she has
to do in capable manner, is the
best that can be said of the play.
That there is any excuse for it's
presentation is insupportable from
the standpoint of sane morality. 1t
digs in the mire and brings moth
ing better than suicide to the
sufferer.

BUILDING
ROAD In
THE CITY
Construction Gangs Making
Road Bed Along High
Street

Construction gangs are at work
today making road bed along High
street, preparatory to laying the
track of the Willamette Valley Trac-
tion Company's road from this city
to Chemawa. A big traction engine
is employed to drag a plow and this
very materially assists the progress
of the work.
Nearly all the grading has been
completed between Salem and the
Indian School and the bridge over
Mill creek is practically finished.
The road bed all the way to Chema-
wa is now about ready for the plac-
ing of the ties and rails and this has
been done on a part of the distance.
Unless something entirely unfore-
seen occurs to prevent it, that part
of the line from Division street in
Salem to Chemawa will be done and
the cars will be running over 1t be-
fore September 10, the time stipulat-
ed by the city council when the fran
chise was granted.
II is the present intention of the
to keep at work on the line
after Chemawa is reached and dur
ing the fall much of the road bed
between that point and Portland will
be constructed.
1t is also probable that at the |
same time work will begin on the |
road south of Salem, extending
L towards Roseburg. 1t is the ex-
'ectation of the company to ulti-
nately have the road in operation
rom Portland to Roseburg.
