Gadski.

One of the most interesting features
of New Yorks operate history has
been the development of Nine. johanna
Gadski, who is to be ehard here Mon
day, February 1, under the direction OF
London Charlton. The famous prima
donna was a very young singer in
deed when she made her American
debut with the Damrosch Opera COM
pany. and the greater portion of her
subsequent career has been spent In
this country In sense, then, she
belongs to America, despite her Eu-
ropean successes and German home,
and now that she has returned to the
Metropolitan Opera company and has
again scored heavily in the famous
Wagnerian roles, there is still further
reason for Americans to feel pc
culiar pride in her success. Nine.
Gadski's local appearance will be one
of the most important musical events
of the season.

THE WHEAT PREMIERSHIP.

IT is. of some value to PortlanderS to
note the star prices manifest in the
local wheat market. The Portland
price yesterday overtopped the Chi
cago quotations for May wheat by
cents The Portland price was
s1O9 and that of Chicago $1.O7 IA.
Along with the condition there is
dawning realization that Portland is
the actual wheat center Of the coast. 1t
has become so through the evolution
Of natural order. The standards fixed in
Portland for wheat weights are ac-
cepted as final by London importers.
The Portland market is virtually the
basis by which prices are fixed in all
the markets of the coast. California
has practically reached the point where
she consumes all the wheat she grows.
At times she even buys from Portland
for home consumption. She also buys
large quantities in this market for
trading purposes, reshipping it to ex-
port purchasers. By this token, what
ever the market may be in San
Francisco is largely a reflection of
the basic Portland market. The
known fact that Portland is the
largest wheat exporter on the coast
and the second in the country, is
further factor in a situation reflect
ing the supremacy of the Rose City.
With all this in evidence and the
real development only begun, what is
the future to be? The North Bank rail
road puts another pillar in this great
structure of commercial premiership.
The upper Columbia river c'eared of
distractions will add another pillar
and another strategic asset. The out
look thus takes on an aspect reassur-
ing to Portland and all Oregon. 1t in
evitably recalls the one factor that
must be kept steadily in mind, and
that is the necessity of maintaining
wide and deep river channel from
Portland to the sea. 1t is the key
stone in the arch of final and triumph
ant supremacy. 1t is an enterprise that
Portland cannot afford to lose sight of,
but must plan for and strive for by
day and by night.-Oregon Journal.

Changes in Martin and Emery Players.
Several changes have been made in
the roster of the Martin and Emery
players who are to be seen in the
cycle of plays by Henry Knott, the
newly discovered dramatist and play
wright. One of the most important is
the securing Of Ralph Stuart as gen.
eral stage director. Mr.. Stuart is an
actor of ability himself, and has gained
an enviable place on the stage by rea-
son of his excellent judgment and his
ability as a stage director. Mr.. Stu

ing the rehearsals Of "The Revolution

on any stage Nov. 81. Walter Horton,
who won distinction by reason of his
work in the original cast of "The Three
Of Us" has been secured to play the
role that was formerly assigned to J..
Gordon Edwards. Mr.. Horton is
careful and painstaking young actor.
whose characterizations are vivid and
whose methods are stable Lillian
Rhodes is another player secured for
tho Knott cycle and is an actress of
experience and Of ability. She was
formerly with Max Figman in "The
Man on the Box and also played the
leading female role in "Raffles." Mary
Shaw will. of course, have the most
important female role. that of Vera,
whila the young poet-dreamer will be
portrayed by Wilfred Roger. who is
loaned to Messrs. Martin and Emery

TAXING THE BACHELORS.

1t has happened at last. Everybody
knew that it was coming.
Senator Kline, of WhatcOm, has
drawn bill providing for tax or
bachelors His bill provides a tax Of
$40 per annum on all normal men be-
tween the ages OF 80 and 20 v no re-
main in a state of single blessedness,
tax to BE- paid into the state treasury.
1t will thus be seen that bachelors,
while classed with other animals. oc-
cupy rather higher plane in the scale
of values than that of COW, although
lower than that of a fast race horse.
figuring taxes on the basis of twenty
mills the assessment roll would prob
ably list a bachelor at $500, which on
the forty per cent of actual cash value,
followed by some assessors in the
state, would make the market price of
a bachelor about $4,000.
Senator Kline frankly admits that he
does not expect to reform the universe
by taxing bachelors. He juStifieS his
bill on the unassailable theory that the
state needs the money He figures
that with 10000 bachelors in the state
his bill will yield a revenue of $780,
900, which would come in handy. Of
you don't believe this ask the appro-
priations committee of the house)
You can't meet the argument ad-
vanced by the Whatcom senator If the
state needs the money. it is up to the
legislature to get it, and if there is a
hundred thousand per year to be
SQUEEZED from the bachelors Senator
Klne's plan sounds like a feasible
method of extracting the coin.
But before the bill is up for final
passage. would it not be fair to amend
it. so as to provide some way whereby
the poor bachelor might be given an
opportunity to "show cause" before a
competent authority? Isn't it just bare
ly possible that there are some bach
elors running around loose and staying
out late at night who are not bach
elors from choice? Isn't the girl who
said mo" sometimes responsible fol
the singular state" of some waywar6
bachelor. and if said Maynard bache-
lor was able to prove this contention
wouldn't it be fair to shift the tax from
his shoulders to her shoulders or bet
ter yet to the shoulders of said bache-
lor's successful rival?
OF coure for the brutes for whom
some or many fair ones are longing
there would be no need of the amend
ment suggested. A bachelor of tbs
class evidently knows what he wants
and it is just possible if it came to g
choice of paying the ten to the state Oh
of leading a blushing one to the altar
he would pay the ten and go away
feeling that he was still winner in the
game of life.

DOWN IN CUBA.

The morning papers tell us that the
relations between the president and
the vice-president of Cuba became Sc
verely strained yesterday over the ap-
pointment of a man to fill the post of
chief of the secret service. and those
who have watched affairs in Cuba say
that it is not a far cry between
Cuban officialdom and intervention by
Uncle Sam. who pulled stakes in the
island few hours before the strained
relations became apparent

trouble with Cuba was the trouble

"Ben Hur."

Every now and then as the years go
by, there is born a big drama-a drama
that everyone speaks about in feeling
words. Such was the impression made
by the dramatization of General Lew
Wallace's "Ben-H ur" when it was pre-
scented at the Broadway theater New
York city, in the autumn of 1900 The
universal chorus of praise from critics
and public alike was without one dis
cordant note, and even the clergy, re-

A gigantic demonstration by the children

ence legions of Nebraska and Iowa, as well
as the little folks from the immediate
vicinity of Omaha.
A street parade and a demonstration in
costume, Df the temperance work being
done by the children of various nations of
the world. the latter probably at the
Auditorium, are being talked of as open
ing features for the convention.
A diamond Demorest medal contest with
contestants from all parts of the United
States is another feature being considered
for the opening.
The local committee on arrangements for
entertaining the convention, of which Rev,
F. L. LOveland is chairman, met Friday
evening for conference with Mrs. L. NJ.
N. Stevens and Miss Anna Gordon, presi-
dent and vice president of the National
Women's Christian Temperance union, who
came here from headquarters at Evanston,
ILL.,, to make preliminary arrangements. The
Auditorium and First Methodist church arc
being considered as meeting places. Mrs.
Stevens and Miss Gordon will spend Sun

ing at First Congregational church, at
