The support includes a little jewel of a | tenor, a pocket Guille, who matches Miss en’s canary note with a little vocal siiver of his own that might have been made for the business. His name is Sig- nor Pratti, and his volce is pure tenor, Iyric in the fullest sense. And Signor | Pratti {s as good a singer.as he is a tenor. It s not a powerful voice, but so delicately shaded, so nicely used, that | all the effect of volume is given. smiles as prettlly as he sings, ‘which makes up for acting that is somewhat naive.

The Amur passed the Portland on her trip north, The passengers on the Portland left Ketchikan on Sunday on board the Alki. The Portland, which ran ashore on December 21, is full of holes from her contact with the rocks of Spire Island, twenty-one miles from Ketch- ikan, and is leaking badly. The tug Pioneer is getting ready to go north | for her. Captain Lindquest and two men are still on the doomed vessel, The Portland has among-its cargo 600 tons of ore, Which prevents the ves- | sel trom slipping off the rocks. At the | time of the accldent the vessel was running from Valdez and Seward to | Seattle! The Portland brought out the first treasure from the Klondike to n- Q Seattle.

This church was the first to be constructed In Northern Sonoma County. It was erected in 1857 and had long been one of Healdsburg's landmarks. The church has not been used for several months.

COURT STOPS WORK ON OREGON RAILROAD Injunction First Step in Bat-| tle Between Hill and Harriman. PORTLAND, Dec. 26.—The granting of an injunction by the State Circuit Court directing the Portland and Seattle Rall- road and Simms & Shields, contractors, to discontinue the work of raiiroad con- struction in the vicinity of a proposed crossing with the new line of the Oregon \ 2 Railroad and Navigation Company. be- tween here and the Columbia River, marks the first legal clash actually to occur between the principals themselves, in the alleged fight between the Hill and Harriman interests, Both companles have for some time been striving to gain the vantage at the point of crossing in order to establish a grade to which the other company would haye to conform. Condemnation proceedings were started by the Oregon Rallroad and Navigation and the Portland and Seattle Railroad purchased a right of way over the dis- puted lapd. Saturday the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Compan; learning that ac- tive construction was in progress in the neighvorhood of the disputed point, se-| cured a temporary injunction. which was served on the Portland and Seattle Rail- road and the contractors, directing them to cease work until the court could de- | termine the rights of the Oregon Rail- road and Navigation Company. This document, it is ‘asserted. was served on President Flanders and the contractors Saturday. It is sald that lnl violation of the court’s order the Port- land and Seattle Railroad continued its work day and night, Sunday and Monday, and has built 300 feet of track across the land and established a grade. H On the other hand, it is stated, no suit was filed or pending under which the Cir- cuit Court could issue the restraining or- der, and therefore the injunction is of no effect. There is no record in court of the issuance of the injunction and it is not known when the citation is made return- able. —ee————— Arrested for Opening Mail. SEATTLE, Dec. 26.—H. H.
