DELIVERS ADDRESS
NATIONAL FORESTS

I. II. Sherrard, supervisor of the
national forests Of Oregon, delivered
an address before The members of the
Upper Hood River Valley Progressive
Association Monday night, Janaury 80.
The subject of the address was, "The
Relation Of the Upper Hood River
Valley to the National Forests. /"
Throughout the discussion of his sub
Ject Mr., Sherrard laid great stress
upon the necessity pf a iudicous con-
servation. While forests seem plenti-
tul, he said, men are thoughtIess and
imprOvident However, he continued.
when dealing with the iCountry's for
ests, the present demands should not
be so extraVagant as TO borrow from
the resources OF generations to come,
that is, that the forests should not be
ruthlessly devastated The value Of
covered watershed over a denuded one,
he remarked, it is almost impossible to
estimate. While this phase of the
matter IS not problem in the Hood
River Valley because of the glacial
water derived from Mt. Hood still as
he pointed out, its Inhabitants will
face the scarcity Of a wood supply.
ne reserves OF the national forest Will
be Of immense benefit in a compara-
lively short time.
Mr.. Sherrard discussed the proposed
road from Portland to Mt. Hood, and
return through the Valley and by the
Columbia River route Resides the
extraordinarily beautiful scenery that
it will bring within easy reach Of the
public, he pointed out the benefits il
would bestow economically upon the
through which it would
pass. In closing the address mention
was made of letters received from
United States Senator Bourne and See
'etary of Agriculture, James Wilson,
n which they stated that they were
n favor of the bill, at present before
.he state legislature, regarding the
starting Of forest fires and the penal
les attached thereto.

 It is an institution which not only prepares men for death, but more i'm portant still, it teaches them how to live. Unfortunately. some workingmen have thought of it as something which has tO do only with sickness. death and cemeteries, and that the preacher was a handy man tO have around in case of q funeral It is interesting to note. by the way, that the average preacher us- ually responds to such call.
 Christianity believes in brighter homes. better schools. more beautiful cities and cleaner governments. IT Christian men were in the majority in our great -i-i-s, most of the evils found there would be wiped out They are not in the majority, however. and never have been. This is sometimes forgotten when the church is snae-ed at by its enemies, who ask why it is that, after so long n trial. it has not succeeded in christianizing the cities. While much has been done through it's influence. christianity has really never been tried.

THE RED ROSE

What promises to be the sensation of the current theatrical season is John C. Fishers production of the Globe Theatre, New York success, The Red Rose" a musical comedy in three acts by Harry E. and Robert B. Smith. with music by Robert Hood Bowers, which comes to the Elks Theatre on Saturday evening only, Dec. 16. In the past three years probably no musical production has received the praise from both press and public as has The Red Rose .' It has been pronounced the prettiest, smartest, cleverest, most tuneful musical comedy produced since -F'lorodora". which was unquestion- ably the greatest musical success in the history of the theatre in America The story correctly depicts the art students night life in Paris: how ever. contrary to most productions with Parisian atmosphere. The Red Rose" is said to he clean and whole some and a show you can take your mother. wife or sister to see with perfect safety. The locale of the story affords excellent opportunities for sumptous stage settings. magnifi cent costumes and electrical effects for which MT. Fisher is famous. The presenting company is unusually large and includes many notable people A feature of the performance is The Students Glide" which caused sen satiOn in New York city. The ad- vance sale opens Dec.

many of them are. for concert courses and cooking classes. boys clubs and libraries. music and women's clubs and everything else that is helpful and inspiring-as far as their means will permit and the communities de- mand-these all indicate that the church has a vital interest in the here and now" as well as in the thereafter"
 Sometimes worlingmen have said that the church is not doing enough for the needs of certain commu- nity They forget that, as rule. the particular church which they are criticizing is composed of their neigh bOrs. who are no better off than themselves, but who are striving to supply church privileges for the peo- pie living in the district If the aver age workingman believes in this work of the church. he can render his fel- lowmen a great service by helping it through his personal efforts. For the question of helping the people in the neighbOrhoOd is not so much a question of money as 1t is a prob lem of flesh and blood. viz, the will ingness of men to give themselves to the work of helping others. The high thinking workingman best under stands the needs of those with whom he associates. and he can. suggest many things to the minister who. with his cooperation, can carry out his practical plans for the betterment of the whole community. Almost any minister will gladly talk over with a workingman any plan that he may have for helping his fellowmen.
 Anyway. try it and see how he will respond.-Rev. Charles StelZle.

It took six years to make up the 1000 perform ances in Chicago, but the record is vouched for by every dramatic critic in that city.

THE COLISEUM.

IntoXication by pretense is a feature of the change introduced by Attaway X Greene at the Coliseum this week. While it lacks nothing of realism save the odOr of mingled decoctions. it is none the less laughable Taken as a whole the act is clever and while just little removed from real art is es- pecially good as the artist originates his own copy. Altogether devoid of offensive suggestion the act is good simply because it earns the applause those in the audience who have evil dently been in touch with the game
 The Devine Dojson, interpreter of feminine character-now listen. ladies. was once a milliner. and while cater ing to the feminine taste for frivoli- ties in his line acquired the familiar ity with the subject. that makes his act so truly feminine The disting- uiShirg feature of DOdson's act lies in the fact that the ladies of his audi ence have no criticisms to offer on his interpretations. Elaborate costumes. expensive headwear and scientific ap- plication of greese paint goes far to- ward the perfection of feminine inter pretatiOn, but Dodson supplies the other on great esSential,-the charac- ter. No suggestion of cOarseness. no vulgar display and no shoddy show of tawdry apparel enters into the act II is clean and truly womanly.
 The Lubins give a very creditable performance, necessarily abbreviated through the illness of one of their number but nevertheless no small part of an excellent bill.

SKETCH OF THE CLANSMAN"
Here IS the Famous Story Whose Per formance Draws Such Crowds

Here is in brief the story of "The Clansman", the celebrated White Su- premacy play, d revival of which will appear at the Elks' Theatre on We'd nesday, Dec. 13.
 The first act is laid in front of the home Of Dr. Cameron, a white aris- tOcrat. in Piedmont, $. c, in 1867. The scene is alive with picturesque | crowds of typical southern town, ! among which two parties are strongly i defined. i. t., the carpetbaggers and their negro tools who have set up a l reconstruction government, and the | southern whites who are deprived of 1 the right to vote and are at the mercy | of their former serfs Dr. Cameron's son. Ben, has been nursed to health ! by northern girl, Elsie Stoneman, and has fallen in love with her Aus l tin Stoneman, stern old radical, agrees to allow Ben to marry Elsie. 1 if the young man will take sides against his friends and neighbors; Ben Cameron refuses: Instead, he tears down the proclamation of the federal general commanding social equality and permitting the inter-mar- riage of blacks and whites.
 In the second act the Cameron homestead is auctioned off for unpaid taxes and Elsie Stoneman buys it in. The Camerons consult with General Nathan Bedford Forrest, the great Confederate cavalry commander. who advises the organization of the secret Ku Klux Klan. The weakling white
 
 scene and starts high h-handed proceed ings, arresting both the doctor and Ben.
 The first scene of the third act shows the garden of the Cameron place near sunset. Elsie learns that Ben is the leader of the Ku KluX, the organization denounced by her father, and the lovers part sorrowfully. The scene ends with the alarm over the absence of Little Flora, Ben's sister, who has been having d birthday party, and the finding of her drowned body in the river The Clansmen" mount ed and armed. dash across the scene at full gallop to help the Camerons and if possible discover and punish Little Flora's murderer. In the next scene these ghostly horsemen assemble at midnight in their mountain cave. where they perform their weird rites and after extortng a hypnotic con- fessiOn from the murderer sentence him to death.
 The last act of The Clansman" takes place in the library of Silas Lynch. the mulatto lieutenant gover- nor of the state. Lynch has forced the governor William Pitt Shrimp, to delegate his authority to him, and with Austin Stoneman out of the way he causes Ben Cameron to be con demned to be shot by drumhead court martial. Then Elsie Stoneman who has refused to testify against Ben. begs Lynch to save the boy. With ingenuity he says he will do so only on condition that she will marry him Gynch).

the only ones eligible to the organiza-
ton. The undergrades can only come
in as recruits or volunteers"
Every Friday the members of the

plan of the days campaign is then
outlined. The general draws his
maps, and the ~lieutenants are assigned
their duties. The army, girls; and all,
then marches down to the school
arsenal in the basement. where the
artillery Of rakeS and brooms and hoes
is stored. There is a final command
and the battle begins.
The league has been organized fol
two years and Is declared TO be n OF
the most effective organizations of its
kind in the STATE. In fact. there is
not known to be any similar organiza
ton in the country.
