ALL JOLLY CITY SCRIP
Must Be Sold in Order
That Streets May
Be Paved

The board of directors Of the Com
mercial club has retained the firm Of
Riddle & Clapham to assist the city
attorney IN drawing up valid ordi-
nances for the paving of Illinois avenue
and South Wilson street and to help
also in disposing Of the scrip that
must be issued to pay for the i'm
provement. 1t is the latter part OF
the task that is the difficult part.
The law passed at the last session
of congress, authorizing the issuance
of scrip, is not very good one, and
it is difficult to draw the or
dinances in such a way that firm
can be found to take the scrip at
par, which the law provides must be
done. The lawyers are hopeful, how
ever, of finding someone to take the
scrip soon, so that the work of paw
ing may be commenced by spring.

Within Minute After COIIiding
With Steamer Jennie

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 19.-The
steamer Dix Captain H. H. Mason,
bound from Seattle to Portland, and
loaded with many passengers, sank
two miles north Of Alkal Point at 7
last night after having collided with
the steamship Jennie of the Alaska
Coast company.
Forty-one passengers and members
Of the crew OF the Dix are missing,
and 30 we're saved The Dix was
totally wrecked, and almost all the
crew were lost. The master of the
Dix, however, was saved.
The collision occurred while the
sound was smooth. The Jennie was
backing when she collided with the
Dix. Altho the impact was slight,
the Dix listed heavily. righted herself
a moment afterwards, and then sank
stern first. There was hardly time to
launch the life boats or rafts before
the doomed vessel was almost totally
submerged.
The passengers, in panic, jumped
from the decks into the water. Wo-
men screamed, while officers and men
called orders that could hardly be
heard above the din. The passengers
of the Dix who could swim made their
way to the sides of the Jennie and
were dragged aboard. The Jennie

sousa's Concert.

sousaL and his band attract crowds eV- erywhere and the audience at the JeHer- son theatre last night was no exception to the rule The capacity of the house was tested. And not only was the audi enee large. but it was both enthusiastic and discriminating.
 sousa's band. as brass and reed oahos go, is above criticism, for each player is an artist and the ensemble work IS wen nigh perfect. Such being true, only the matter of programme and the merit or solo performers remain for comment
 The programme for the band was made up of music that could but catch the crowd-a tuneful, standard overture Weber's "Oberon," Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries," and a variety of lighter peces-folk music and Sousa marches; and the encores brought out ragtime' coon songs, and more Sousa music. The soloists were Miss Elizabeth Schiller so- prano: Herbert l.. Clarke, cornet, and Miss Jeanette Powers, violin. The vocal ist made a good hit, and the cornet solo was brilliant, but it was left for Mss Powers to carry off the honors Of the evening. She played two movements or the Mendelssohn concerto, the andante and the allegro vivace. and for eneores Sehubert's serenade and little piece by Sarasate Her interpretation revealed in- sight and study her tone was broad ana rich, and her execution was faclie ana clear cut In playing the serenade Miss Powers was accompanied only by the harp. Few artists have received so great an ovation as did this young vlolinlst

William Il. Crane.

MT. Crane will greet his friends at the Jefferson theatre tonight when he VIII step forward in one of the best parts that he has had in years, that of John Breus- ter in ''The American Lord Through out it's tour of the middle and far west the comedy has had the most emphatic success and left in it's wake laughter and jollity.
 The play Is in four acts and opens in Breuster's hotel, In Elkhorn, Dakota. The succeeding acts take place on an ola estate in England The comedy is not an attack on Anglo-mania. Breuster Is sturdy American who has not the slight est use for anything that did not have it's beginning in the United States. One of the prominent English characters in the play is Lord Wycherly and he has no use for anything that Is not British. Both men are honest and sincere, but both have their prejudices and different points of view.
 The complications are many and are not all cleared up until almost the fall of the final curtain. Miss Hilda Spong, the leading woman of the company, has a delightful part as young Irish woman

 The hotels have been crowded more than ever before this winter, and espe- cially during the past month has the sit nation been of serious nature. There have been three or four nights in the month just closed when strangers arriv- ing on very late trains have been com pelled to take room costing 8 or more for the night, or remain outdoors.
 It Is not that the hotels are raising their rates, but that the demand for hotel accommodations has grown to be greater than the supply of rooms. The situation is acute, and the hotel men say they
