creston Clarke.

No book play has ever achieved such
success as has fallen to the lot of Beau
calre," the comedy romance in which
Creston Clarke will make his re-appear-
ance in this city next Saturday, matinee
and night at the Jefferson theatre. 1t
will be recalled that In this play Creston
Clarke offered local play-goers an unusual
dramatic treat last season. That he has
even improved In the difficult role of
"Beaucaire" is evidenced by the following
review that appeared recently in the Sa-
vannah (Ga) Morning News.
The extremely bad weather no doubt
prevented very many people from going
to the Academy of Music last night to
see Creston Clarke in his great play of
Monsieur "Beaucaire," who otherwise
would have been present but those who
were there were richly repaid for bray-
ing the storm.
Mr.. Clarke never acted better and the
reception he received was generous to a
fault
He clothed the part with exquisite taste
and characterized 1t with grace and dig
nifty to a marked degree. At the end of
each act he received a curtain call.
The play was handsomely costumed and
the supporting company exceedingly

E. Finn, the manager of the show. last
night. I'VE are now making all the plans
and preparations for the installation of
the necessaries, and within the next few
days will have started to decorate the
hall
I'VE should have liked larger hall,
and only leased the store because 1t was
the largest place we could find in the
business section of the city. 1 feel sure
it will answer the purpose. however, af-
ter we have arranged everything
'within the next few days Mr.. Arthur
Favorite of Chicago, who oversees all

BARGAINS IN
MEDICINE.

A woman once wrote us
that she was not going to
buy SCOTS Emulsion any
more because it cost too
much. Said she could get
some other emulsion for less
money. Penny wise and
pound foolish. SCOTS Emul-
sion costs more because it is
worth more-costs more to
make. We could make
SCOTS Emulsion cost less by
using less oil. Could take
less care in making it, too.
If we did, however, SCOTS
Emulsion wouldn't be the
standard preparation Of cod
liver oil as it is to-day.

WALLS FALL BUT
NO ONE Is HURT
THREEsToRY BUILDING occU-
PIED BY WOOD & cRAB5E,
WHOLESALE GRAIN DEALERS,
COLLAPSE.

The side and rear walls and a part of
the front wall of the three-story brick
building at 2213-15 Morris avenue, occupied
as a store house by Wood & Crabbe,
wholesale dealers in feed and grain, col
lapsed yesterday afternoon about p. m.
and completely demolished the one-story
building at 2217 Morris avenue, occupied
by ]. F. Baldwin, dealer in building ma
terial
Part of the rear will of the building oc-
cupied by Wood & Crabbe fell out Satur-
day night and the debris blocked the
trains on the Louisville and Nashville
railroad for some time. Traffic was re-
sumed by switching the trains.
About two years ago, the building oc-
cupied by Wood & crabbe was damaged
by fire and it is supposed that the sup
ports were left in such a weakened con-
dition that they were unable to stand the
strain, thus causing the accident. 1t was
filled at the time of the accident with
feed and grain, and while it is thought
the building will be a total loss, there
was little damage to the contents.
The building occupied by ]. F. Baldwin
as we'll as the contents, are said to be
a total loss and is estimated by Mr.. Bold
win to be close to two thousand dallars-
That no one was hurt is due to the fact
that the accident happened on Sunday
Had It been on any other day 1t is proba'
BILE that no less than eight men, employ
ed in the Baldwin building would have
been fatally injured.

Night at Athletic Club.

There is unusual interest attached to the
basketball game between Tulane of New
Orleans and the Birmingham Athletic
club arranged for Tuesday night. The
Louisiana boys have been winning right
along since they started on the tour,
and there is every indication that the
game will be holly contested from be-
girnng to end.

CLEARWATER RIVER IS NOT NAV|CABLE

mainly rifles, more or less shallow
and obstructed at low water.
During certain seasons of the year
there is more or less logging from
the several forks of the river to the
mills at Lewiston and points on the
Snake river, but 1 am told that fire.
quently these log RATS, which are
manned and steered with sweeps, sad
dlebag and break upon the rapids and
have to be reconstructed.
1t is believed that barge navigation
upon the Clearwater would not be
practicable even with large expendi-
lures in the removal of present OBJ
structions. Barges for grain ship
ment from the upper river points
would of necessity be in the nature of
temporary affairs for the reason that
they would have to be constructed at
the point of shipment and be disposed
of for little or nothing as part of the
cargo because of the inability to re-
turn upstream.
1t is believed that the transportation
of logs or timber RATS and possibly
cord wood in rough scows is feasible,
and would justify a moderate expen-
diture for the removal of prominen,
distractions, but it is believed that
attempts to make the river suscepti-
BILE of general barge navigation at the
present time is unwarranted as well
as impracticable, and therefore un-
worthy of consideration by the gen.
eral government.

WOULD TAKE LIFE
OF LEAGUE WORKER.
MCliDEKOUS ATTACK ON
REV. PAUL RAIDER.
Thug Attempts to Stab to Death the
President of the Anti-SalOOn League
OF Oregon - Temperance Worker
Was Attacked In Dark Alley I'm Sa-
lem by Supposed Hired Cutthroat
From Portland.

The Salem Statesman gives the fol-
lowing account of an attack made up
on the vida of Rev. Paul RAIDER, pres
ident OF the Anti-Saloon league of Or
egon, while in Salem, Tuesday night.
The attack is believed to be part of
a program of intimidation launched
by the liquor interests to check the
organization of anti-saloou ;eagues
throughout the state.
Rev. RAIDER recognized the assail-
ant as man who followed him from
Portland to Salem on Tuesday morn
ing The Statesman says:
At an early hour after dark last
evening, Rev. Paul RAIDER, of Port
land, who is said to have come to Sa-
lem to organize an anti-saloon league,
reported TO the sheriff's office that a
vicious attempt had been made upon
his life and he had a narrow escape
from serious injuries.
II appears that Mr.. RAIDER came
from Portland yesterday and is stop
ping at 374 Summer street. In the
evening he was walking down Chem
Governor Moody's barn, between
Summer and Winter streets, he was
met by two men, ore of whom asked
him the way to the depot, and as Mr..
struck at him, saying: you d
stool pigeon, I'll fix you" Mr.. RAIDER
threw up his left arm to ward off the
blow and received severe cut nearly
innhaQ ha
At the same time the murderous
knife which the fellow used struck
RAIDER In the breast, piercing his coat
and vest, but lodging in some books
and papers which he carried in his
vest pocket thus probably saving his
life, for the blow was aimed at the
heart.
Mr.. RAIDER, who is brother OF
Ralph the sturdy football player. and
is himself a splendidly built athlete
grappled with his assailant, whose
| companion ran away. and the two
rolled in the mud in a lively struggle
the thug finally escaping from his
grasp and running away. Mr.. RAIDER
at once repaired to Sheriff Culvers
office and reported the assault, pre-
senting n sorry sight covered with
mud and blood, though thankful that
,, his experience was no worse.
In short time there was intense
excitement. AS soon as the fellow
students Of Mr.. RAIDERS brother at
Willamette university heard of the
murdereus attack, they were wild
with desire for revenge, and If the
culprit could have been discovered
Just then it would have been all day
with him. They would have torn him
into shoestrings.

WOOL BUYERS ARE GATHERING.
Prospects for Hot Competition at
Yakima Soon.

The Yakima Daily Republic dag
noses and prognosticates the wool sit
uation at that point as follows:
The sheepmen are making prepara-
tions to shear their sheep this week.
and wool buyers are beginning to
drop into the city, in order to keep in
touch with the situation. The indi-
cations are that the price of wool will
keep pace with present high market
price of sheep themselves. Local
sheepmen are confident that wool will
bring % cents this year.
Henry Harris, of The Dalles, Ore,
arrived here Monday and is stopping
at the Yakima hotel. He is a wool
buyer and came over to get acquaint-
ed with some of the dealers in this
section and may make a few deals for
his firm. He scouts the idea of wool
bringing 25 cents. He says that all
contracted this year for that figure.
Oregon wool is considered of higher
quality than the Washington product.
At the present time the wool mar
ket is in an uncertain condition. No
deals are being closed and few offers
are made except a very few in low fig
ures, to which the woolgrowers will
not listen. James Wright, one of the
largest sheep dealers in the state, is
confident that the price of wool this
year will be higher than in the last
two years. He is going to hold for
the two bit mark. Ernest Berg, an
other local sheepraiser, who is shear
ing this week at Sunnyside, is conf
dent that wool will bring 25 cents
w. II. Vessey thinks the situation
looks encouraging, as in fact do all of
these men who are keeping in touch
with the market.
Other buyers from the sound and
different points are expected to arrive
here this week, and competition will
no doubt assume state of sharpness.
