THE SQUAWMAN' PROVED
ENJOYABLE PERFORMANCE

With Lee Willard in the leading
role the "Squawman" was presented
at the oregon last evening and it is
very safe to say that practically all
who saw the performance were highly
pleased, In the "Squawman." as
dramatized, there is a play of much
force and interest. 1t appeals espe-
cially to westerners. Though in real
ity "A squawman is no object of hero
worship, the particular squawman de-
picted in the play is a specimen of
manhood that leaves little to be de-
sired. The cast is also good. Lee
Fillard is not a star of great magni-
tude, but he is very fair actor and
he has good support Especially is
this true of the bucllaroo boys in the
cast. AS Big Bill, Frederick Monley
would be hard to beat. Wayne Ross
as "Cash Hawkins" the bad man,
is nifty william. Others in the cast
also do creditable work.
Paul Gilmore in "The Mummy and
the Humming Bird" will be the next
attraction at the oregon, April %.

SPOK ANE WILL HAVE
WOMEN POLICE OFFICERS

Spokane, Wash, April 15.-Spokane
will have women police officers in its
public parks this summer if the rec
concentrations of Colonel w. ]. c.
Wakefield, acting president and men,
bers of the park commission are car
ried out. The commission has pre-
pared rules and regulations, which
vii be submitted to the city commits
sioners for approval, and it is expect
ed that the appointment of women
police will be made early next month.
Colonel Wakefield says that while the
primary purpose is to have women as
police officers on the grounds where
many children assemble, he believes
the plan can be carried out success
fully in other public parks. The COM
missioners will not say that the wo-
men to be appointed are to wear spe
cial uniforms but it is learned from
another source that distinctive dress
will be worn by the officers. Spokane
has IA parks in various parts of the
city, the total acreage being 712, most
Of which was acquired through gifts
by residents of the city. The COM
mission will soon have a fund of ST.
100000, voted at a recent. election
to extend and improve the park sys-

45O0 COLON|STS IN
CLOSING DAY RUSH

The colonist season closed Friday
with a grand flourish, says the Port
land journal. over one road, the
O.-W. r. & n, total of 1895 peo-
pie were brought into the state on
three trains, one of which, No Il,
with Az passengers, will not arrive
until tonight. Although not so defi-
niteiy compiled figures from the
Northern Pacific and Great North
ern offices show that the arrivals of
the last two days in Portland have ap-
preached 5000.
on No. 3 over the O.-W. r.. & n. S5S
colonists arrived today and on No. Il,
with 2 cars, 31S people arrived at 8
o'clock this morning, the train hav-
ing been delayed more than seven
hours.
All the trains of yesterday and to-
day were made up in two sections.
Most of the colonists are coming with
the determination of staying in Ore
gon. Like the thousands who have
preceded~them during the coloonist
rush just closing they intend making
homes in the Willamette valley, the
coast counties, central or southern
oregon. The commercial organiza-
tions in every oregon town have been
receiving the newcomers and are go
ing to no small expense to see that
they are located as satisfactorily as
possible.
81 want the privilege OF saying one
last word about these colonists," said
William McMurray, general passen-
ger agent of the O.-W. II. x n. and
Southern Pacific companies, yester-
day. "These people are in Oregon,
brought here at the expense of a great
amount of advertising of our resour-
Ces and the inducement that they can
make better homes here and be more
prosperous than they have been in the
places when they came. Having ad-
vertised that oregon has the goods,
we must deliver them. otherwise our
advertising is a loss and not an in
vestment 1t will be well worth the
effort of every commercial organiza-
tion in Oregon to cooperate in MAX
ing the colonists at home. If this Is
done, the next summer will see thou-
sands of new homes, not so much in
the cities as in the country-on the
land that has been needing people"

NEW WHEEL FOR AUTOMOBILES

pose pneumatic tires are at present
used on automobiles. Or in case
pneumatic tires are used with it, much
of the wear and tear on the costly
rubber castings will be relieved AL
though the wheel is designed especial
ly for automobiles, Mr.. Jay states 1t
can be used on any vehicle.
AS stated before, Mr.. Jay has been
working on his device for fifteen
years, but not until last February
did he succeed in perfecting it so that
he thought 1t would be practicable.
He will try his model out on a Max
we'll car in the near future and is
confident 1t will prove a success. AS
he stated this morning. "If 1t doesn't
work, I'll be mighty surprised
man." Certainly, the principle upon
which it is based is right and to all
appearances the wheel should prove
all that its inventor claims. Mr..
Jay has protected himself in all pos
sible ways so that If his invention
meets with the success he anticipates
none can rob him of his just reward.

themselves without the assistance of
the buyers who in the past have been
cooperating in the matter. The buy

arranging the sales days this year on
the plea that the sales were not sue
cessful last season. However, it ap-
pears at this time that the majority
of the woolmen will hold their clips
for the sales days, Thus far the
buyers are not in the field and there
has been no contracting of clips in

According to Secretary Smythe ii
is possible some changes may be made
in the schedule of days. 1t may be
determined later to hold a sales at

OF cipher message from Douglas
the president conferred long with the
heads of state, war and justice de-

to chiefs of both the revolutionists
and federals warning near the line,
This action was partly caused by the
attitude of Europe as the condition
Is such that the Monroe doctrine is
virtually on trial, as under 1t Europe
looks to the United States to safe
guard her property and lives of Euro
pean subjects in Mexico and the fail
ure to do so might result in Europe
taking invading action themselves.
Invasion Considered Near.
American invasion in Mexico Is de-
clared by many officials here today
to be nearer than ever before. 1t is
learned that explicit orders have been
sent Captain Guajot at Douglas to
notify Mexican warriors that any
shooting into the American territory
means that Americans will cross the
line and make an affective stand to
end the dangers to Americans.

took up The work of saving the house
hold goods of the Wolf family. Prac-
tically all the household effects were
saved but it was impossible to do any
thing to stay the flames. At 2:S0 the
structure had burned to the ground.
As the state carries no insurance
upon its property the fire will involve
loss to the extent of the value of
the building. 1t was the intention Of
the state board to use the Roberts
building as quarters for workmen on
the branch asylum buildings.
The burned building was erected
along about 1898 by Jake Platter who
owned the place at that time. The
house cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000. 1t was purchased by Mr.. Rob-
erts some years ago and passed to the
state when the board bought the Rob-
orts tract for asylum purposes.
