I'm Wyoming" one of the finest
productions of the present day, will
be seen here at the opera house De-
cember 81. Perhaps not since "The
Virginian" has the stage been Offer
ed hero at once so human, so man
ly and so irrestible as Mr.. Mack's
Bob Richards" The glorified cow
boy has appeared in fiction and stage
again and again with his sombrero
and his wild antics with six

cowboy, that has appealed so force
fully, is that he Is real. He is a
man. He does some things that So
ciety does not sanction as proper;
but his instincts are sound, his heart
is big, he is generous and honorable,
and man to be trusted with a wo-
man. He has lived the wild, ele-
mental life of his kind, but he
knows and loves the better way when
he sees 1t.

Portland Planting Roses.

Everyone in Portland seems to be
planting roses and to a greater or
less extent the same is probably true
of other cities Of the state where the
rose attains perfection. Never be-
fore has there been such preva.
lent idea Of beautifying cities as now
and the support lent the movement
by the people in all walks of life
shows this feeling Is genuine and
widespread Nurserymen estimate
that Portland people will have plant
ed 100000 roses by the end of the
l9O9-l910 season. This includes the
fall and spring planting. This stunt
is believed to be unparalleled in the
history of American cities Estimat-
Ing that each new rOsebush will bear
ten blooms during the coming sea-
son, II means that Portland will have
added 10000 roses to its wealth of
bloom during the coming summer.
People of the city are determined TO
make Portland the Rose City" in
fact as well as in name and to show
festival visitors next June that this
city has no equal in rose culture.

DANES REJECT
COOKS DATA
Preliminary Announcement Has
Been Confirmed by Copen-
hagen Savants.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 21.-The
University of Copenhagen, the first
institution of learning to recognize
DR.. Frederick A. Cook as the dis
coverer of the North Pole, today
solemnly declared that the explorer
had failed to establish the claim on
which his high honors had been
based.
The committee appointed by the
university to examine DR., Cook s
records recently presented its re-
port to the Consistory of the unlvers-
ity which reviewed the deductions
of the experts with the greatest care
and discussed the findings from every
standpoint. That both the commit
tee and Consistory were disappointed
was soon known.
The Consistory met today and
adopted written report to the eff
feet that the alleged records. sub
mitted for examination by DR.. Cook,
failed to prove his claim.

JPAN CURRENTS
COURSE IS UNCHANGED
Senator Bourne Learns From Navy
That Earthquake Had No
Such Effect.

Senator Bourne, who has been
making inquiries concerning the re-
ported change in the Japan current
on account of earthquake disturb
ances, has received the following let
ter from the photographic office OF
the Navy department, showing that
there has been no change in the cur
rent:
"Your letter to the United States
weather bureau in regard to any
change which may have occurred in
the Japan current due to the seismic
disturbance which in part destroyed
San Francisco has been referred to
this office.
1.-The Japan current, like the Gulf
Stream of our own coast, Is due
primarily to the influence OF the
trade winds of the equatorial belt.
These blowing steadily drive the
water against the continents forming
the western boundaries of the ocean,
where it is turned northward by the
conformation of the land and under
the combined influence Of the land
and the prevailing winds is swept
across the North Pacific ocean and
southwark along the American coast.
"The current is neither so strong
nor so we'll defined as the Gulf
Stream. and is much more liable to
temporary alterations Being caused
by the wind, it may suffer temporary
change or interruption by the wind.
The monsoons of the China sea al
feet its strength to some extent, and
there is no doubt that typhoons or
other Interruptions to the trade
winds do likewise.
Under these conditions it must be
evident that no seismic disturbance
of purely local nature, such as that
which caused the destruction of San
Francisco, would have any effect up
on the Japan current. Soundings
taken since that disturbance fail to
show any appreciable change in the
ocean depths and there are no in
dications of any other than the usual
temporary variations in the Japan
current"

CLEE AND MANDOLIN
CLUBS ANNUAL CONCERT
University of Oregon Students En-
tertain a Full House on Tues
day Evening.

The opera house on Tuesday even
ing took on the air of college frat
ernity and the college spirit prevail
ed; the stage, decorated with pen
nants OF many universities and frat
erpities and the rollicking college
songs adding much to the fraternal
feeling. The University Glee Club of
this year, 1t is declared by many, out
classes the clubs of previous years
as a musical organization and certain
1t is their entertainment was much
enjoyed by all who took advantage
to hear them. Features OF the pro-
gram were the solo parts Of Geo. NAL
let, Kenneth Frazier, Raphael Geisler
and Francis Curtis. Choosing an
Accompanist" gave Burns Powell an
opportunity to render trombone
solo which was perhaps the most
pleasing number Of the program. The
rounds of applause which greeted
him were deserved The grand opera
burlesque, "A Fire in the Frat" In
which the whole club took part, Burk
and Frazier in the solo parts, was
much enjoyed.
There were also college songs and
selection by the mandolin club.
I. M. Glenn, who in past years has
won a place in the hearts Of music
lovers of this city, also rendered a
solo, in which the whole club Joined
as accompaniment.
AT the close Of the entertainment
the boys were rendered a reception
by the members of the Grants Pass
High school at the guild hall. A
large number of High school pupils
and invited guests were present and
a pleasant time was enjoyed with the
members Of the glee club and in So
cial converse. Refreshments were
served and the young men went
home with grateful feeling toward
their entertainers and high opinion
OF Grants Pass hospitality.

Nothing conduces so much to

throws a depressing gloom over
everything and destroys the cheer

Moving Day at the North Pole.

Confusion reigns In Polarland,
Where Santa Claus holds sway;
A hundred thousand million toys
Are boxed to send away,
And Mrs. Claus and Santa, too
Are worried half to death
And have no time to eat or sleep
And scarce to draw their breath,
While all the children cry and squall
And fiji the air with woe,
For mortal men have reached the
Pole,
And Santa has to go.
The factory Is miles around,
And made OF hardened snow,
And all of Santas helpers there
Are little Esquimaux.
Who paste and cut and saw
To make hobbyhorse, a sled,
A book, a game. n Teddybear,
A little dolly's bed.
They see to work so skillfully
Throughout the Arctic nights
Because the place Is all equipped
with patent Northern Lights"
Now, strange as IL may seem to YOU
Poor Santa Claus is shy
And so is Mrs. Santa Claus
Pm sure can't tell why.
SO, though they love the children
well
And like to see them play,
When grown-ups come to near them
The Clauses move away,
And as there Is no spot on earth
Where men can never go,
The planet Mars will he the future
home
OF Santa Claus 4 Co."
But though he soon will live on Mars
Up In the sky SO blue,
To children whom he loves on earth
Old Santa will he true;
And when next Christmas comes
around
He surely will appear
Though in an airship he will ride,
Instead OF sledge and deer.
He'll leave his presents and he gone
Before the peep OF light,
TO bring good cheer to little ones
Aud make their Christmas bright
