nuisance. The mother of an actress
does not belong on the stage except as
sort of a maternal policeman. If a
woman is not old enough to leave her
mother as a general thing, she ought
to leave the stage.
II know Evelyn Nesbit. George Le-
derer introduced me. He said he had
new beauty. She certainly was a
beautiful girl, but not now. Her
mother was and still is a beautiful
woman. 1t is too bad she did not
bring her up better. She probably did
the best she could as she was poor. She
ought to have given the girl some sort
of a religion to carry her through. Re-
ligion does not cost money. Whenever
see pretty young woman going into
the Great White Way of New York,
always hope in my heart that she has
come from some convent or has been
brought up with some strong religious
influence to which she will cling in
time of temptation"

in the Furnish warehouse ready to be
disposed of on Wednesday and Thurs
day at the annual wool sale should the
prices offered seem favorable to the

Many of the sheepmen have not yet
delivered all of their wool to the ware

to offer his clip has a number of sam
pies on hand SO that a sale can be
made.
The J. E. Smith Livestock COM
pany will have about 100000 pounds
when it is all delivered. Seven cars
of their wool were on the siding this
morning, having been shipped in from

Lillian Russell is a clever woman
with a good brain. All she has
learned or seen on the Great White
Way she has put away for future use
and reference. Here is the cold philos-
ophy of a typical New Yorker on the
need of a chorus girl for a religion
and the lessons of the Thaw case:
No girl of 16 ought to be allowed to
come to New York and fend for her
self on the stage, who has not a
strong religious influence to carry her
through temptation. Especially if she
is beautiful. 1t may be convent educa-

may be Mohammedism. Oh, anything,

Prior. aged "a, veteran of the civil
war, who lived alone in shack on the
edge of town, was burned to death at
midnight last night. The origin of the
fire, which consumed his house, is un-
known, but was probably due to the
careless use of matches or the acct
dental overturning of lamp.
Prior had served in the First Con-

OPEN THE COAL FIELDS.

Portland business men who visited
through Oregon and Idaho, expressed
genuine surprise at the quality and
extent of the Heppner coal fields, says
the East Oregonian. .-
After they return home and cast ur
the needs of the state, from their OBJ
servations, will they demand that a
railroad be built into that coal field?
Really, is it not a crime upon the
part of the railroads to refuse to
build to the Heppner coal fields, when
tbs need of fuel is SO urgent in Oregon
No matter who owns the fields, nc
matter if the railroads cannot secure
a controlling interest in the mines. nc
matter if the output cannot be con-
trolled by the railroads. a branch line
should be built into those mines.
If, under the railroad commission
act, the state can force the construc-
ton of branch line into that part OF
Oregon. steps toward this end should
be taken at once.
This is only another illustration OF
the Inconsistency of private ownership
of public utilities. Think of Oregon
suffering from a fuel famine, with
hundreds of acres of excellent Goa
lying under the surface. only needing
a short branch line of railroad tC
open up an extensive field to market.
Will Portland seriously consider
the needs of the state and endeavol
to bring about the logical and practi-
cal development of her resources? i
