Note and Comment That Reflect the

ODE TO CHICAGO.

You meet Chicago ere you meet it;
You meet Chicago ere you greet 1T
You wonder but to wonder
How life is life and death together
How man and beast and work and
weather
Are laundering without a blunder
You see Chicago, if you see it,
With sphere-bound eyes that wholly
free it
From forceless forces command
You see it's greatness throb in cen
ters;
You see the doom Of him who enters,
A-coining hope for understanding.
Chicago woos times active hour
And turns It's ashes into power
That makes today tomorrow,
Quickened with all life's stress COM
presses,
Lightened with all life's forethought
blesses,
And burdened with sorrows sor-

GENERAL
MEETING
POPULAR
Proposed Convention Upon
County Road Matters Is
Gaining In Favor.

The proposed general road meet
ing which is being propounded by
County Judge William Bushey, is
gaining favor among the taxpayers
and voters in general throughout
the county, according to reports COM
ing in daily, and the matter is being
seriously discussed.
In order not to conflict with any
other assembly or meeting which
may tend to draw the people away
from the general road meeting, the
county court has decided to postpone
the meeting to the 18th and 18th of
this month instead of the 9Th and 7th
as was first announced. Upon the
former date, there will be a meeting
Of the fruit growers in Portland, and
a large amount of Marion County
people will no doubt attend, thus
taking away many people who will
be interested in the road meeting.
Among the matters which will be
brought to issue and dealt with
during the proposed meeting, is the
state road law. Judge Bushey is
desirious of adopting some substan-
tion and practical mode by which the
governing of county roads can be
carried on without a continual con-
flict with the interests of the public.
The Johnson road law, or bill which
was turned down by the last assem-
bly, of the legislature, would have
been of some benefit to the commu-
nifty in Judge Bushey's opinion, and
by failing to adopt this measure, the
state has been practically bereft of
a road law owing to the fact that the
Tuttle law now in effect is being
contested in the supreme court and
taxpayers are in a quandry as to just
what amount of cogniZance can be
adhered to concerning the legal pha-
ses of the Tuttle law.
Another topic will claim the at
tention of the court and the attend
ance at the meeting, is the county
road problem. The development of

king Dodo," that merry mingling
of mirth and melody from the pens
of those gifted writer's, Frank Pixley
and Gustav Luders, will be the at
traction at the Grand tomorrow night
John Cort, the astute and progress
sive theatrical magnate, under whose
direction this excellent comedy opera
is being presented this season, has
gone to unlimited pains and expense
in making this the grandest "Dodo"
OF all. The scenery, properties and
ehects are entirely new and magnifi-
cent and the costumes are gorgeous
Mr. Court has specially engaged
! Charles H. Jones, who staged the
original, to stage this seasons pro-
duction.
While many show-shoppers have
seen King Dodo," there still re-
main many thousands who have new
er enjoyed thej delights of this clever
opera. The story has to do with a
decrepit old monarch, King Dodo |,
of Dodoland, who is possessed of the
idea that he would like to regain his
youth. To this end he does all sorts
of foolish things, such as having the
calendar set back a trifle of 80 years
and keeping his court physician in
constant dread of a violent death If
| he does not discover for him the elk
er of eternal youth. Piola, a young
soldier of fortune, has had the temer-
! ity to fall in love with the kings
ward Angela, and proposes to marry
her. To this King Dodo objects
most strenuously, for she is a great
fayorite with him, and he intends to
regain his youth and marry her him
self, until Piola, in a desperate effort
to gain his own en6s, promises to head
the king to a fountain which will
make him young again.
The second act of the comedy opera
finds all those interested in Spoopiu-
land, which is ruled by a queen of
surprising loveliness, whittier Piola
has guided the king in search of the
fountain of youth. Queen Lii has
announced that she will marry none
but a man of years and experience,
and when Dodo / and his entourge
are taken into her presence she sees
in him the man she has been wait
ing for, and, as she pleases Dodo's
fancy, the wooing speeds merrily
along until the conspirators get busy
and is given a drink from a spring
which is indeed a veritable fountain
of youth. Immediately the old king
is transformed into boy.
Dodo 1 is delighted, but the queen
will have none of him. Again the
conspirators come to the rescue, for,
with the idea of drowning the latest
favorite of the queen, they throw him
into the same spring, and by it's
wonderful power he is again trans
formed into the decrepit old monarch
he was when the queen of the
Spooju people first saw him. Dodo is
of a forgiving disposition, and when
he finds that the queen will be his he
gives his blessing to everyone and
his kingdom to Piola and Angela.
