HOW EVERYBODY HELPS. 48J1 Classes Turn In to Relieve Xccdy 1 Fire Sufferers, PORTLAND, Sept 22. (To the Editor.) w-In acting as a member of a committee jof the Second Church of Christ, Scien Jtist, of Portland, to receive and distrib ute contributions for the fire sufferers ohe writer has had an opportunity to see hvith what ardor all classes respond to .the call, and with what willingness all jengage in the work of relief. At the last Wednesday evening 'testi monial meeting of the organization men tioned it was announced that money, glothing and other supplies contributed Jlor the purpose would be forwarded by a committee to points where needed; and, Bn response to the call great quantities of clothing and supplies of every descrip tion poured in upon the committee until tit was a question how It should all be Eotten to the needy ones. The problem, (however, was not difficult of solution, as lit was found that expressmen were ready Jto contribute their time and labor In con rveylng them to the wharves and depots, nd the various transportation lines were equally as ready to convey them free of ichargo to the various ravaged districts. iThis committee sent money, clothing and iother supplies to "Woodland, Wash., and quite a quantity to Bridal Veil, these jjpolnts being fhe places of greatest need a "was learned through R. L. Sabln and (by direct communication with various districts, as well as through the com Unendable efforts of the newspapers of our jcity in gathering and giving out informa jtion for the guidance of those who were endeavoring to aid the sufferers. All classes and callings have joined in this (noble work, and our community Is to be icommended for its prompt and efficient action in the work of relief.

CHINAMEN ARE SET FREE Jnry Falls to Agree en Charge of Visit in ft Gambling House. A charge qf going Into and visiting a gambling house at 91 Second street, August 30, was made in the Municipal Court before a Jury yesterday, against four Chinamen, Fong Fat, Chang Yung, Le Chung and Tong Hing, but after tho Jury had wrestled with the problem In the jury-room for 40 minutes it was an nounced that It failed to agree, and it was discharged. They stood three for con viction, and three for acquittal. The jury was: W. F. Watson, E. S. Jackson. L. C. Hendrlckson. I. "Vanduyn. Samuel Schwab, and Blaise Labbe. From a re mark dropped by Ane of the Jurymen, it is understood that the three Jurymen who stood for acquittal did not think the evidence convincing enough. The prosecution was conducted by Dep uty City Attorney Fitzgerald, and the defense by Lawyers Dan J. Malarky and George C. Stout. At the outset Mr. Fitz gerald pointed out that a man visiting a gambling-house could not be declared guilty of a violation of the law, if It could be shown that he visited the place for a lawful purpose. "In company with Policeman Hellyer, I went in the long passage leading to the gambling-house, behind two Chinamen," testified Policeman Wilkinson. "The look out man did not see us until we were close to him. There were four China men in the room, which was fitted up with a gambling table in the center a table similar to that used for playing fan tan. A dealer's chair stood on the inside, and on the table was Chinese money, resembling brass checks. Near these was a black wand used for sepa rating the checks after they had been scooped under a brass cup. The door leading to the gaming room was about four inches thick, and was strengthened by a thick, wooden bar, the ends of which were in iron sockets. After the raid, some o'f the Chinese went upstairs and hid under beds." Policeman Hellyer corroborated. Evidence was" also given by another wit ness that one of the defendants stated that the value of one of the checks used In play was one cent, and that several Chinese found In the lower part of the house escaped by getting out of a door located In the west wall. The door re ferred to was concealed from view by a Chinese picture placed over it. Was also testified.' Le Chung was sworn and a Chinese in terpreter stated that the witness gave this evidence: "The place is a lodging-house, and I am one of the proprietors. I rent from Chlng Tay Yung. The lookout man said he would not allow policemen in. Why? Don't know. His name? Don't know. The brass checks were to be used to make a Chinese sword. The brass cup? Oh, that is for the children to play with. The table? I don't know what It is used for, maybe it is used to eat food." Three other Chinese witnesses were ex amined, each one wearing expressions usually asociated with childlike Inno cence. They all swore that they had ar rived at the Second-street house a day or two before the raid, and that they had not gambled there or ever seen any gamb ling there. One witness swore that ho was in the cigar business in San Fran cisco, and was here on a visit. A Chinese sword was taken into court. It was made of brass checks tied to gether with strings and supported with a stout rod. It was of such a ludicrous ap pearance that one Civil War veteran who was In court remarked: "Little wonder that Japan licked China in the .recent war between them." TO BUY PORTABLE SCHOOLS Board .Provides for Overflow of Pu pils and Buys Supplies. Every member of the Board of Educa tion was in his seat last evening. The board transacted considerable routine business connected with the supplying of the various schools, and ordered four portable schoolhouscs, which will be placed where most urgently needed. A new clause was Inserted In the disciplin ary code, allowing the teacher of an iso lated annex to apply corporal punlsn ment without securing permission from her principal. The question of placing school property on the market came up for discussion, but nothing was deter mined. After the reading of a number of au dited bills by the school clerk. H. S. Al len, the matter of heating the Fulton Park School was tiken up, and the ques tion whether the worn-out stoves could not be more economically replaced by a furnace was finally referred to the sup ply committee. Superintendent Frank Rlgler brought up the matter of moving desks from one room to another, and wished to act In the matter. It was' allowed. In some grades there Is slight crowding, the pri maries especially reporting very full rooms. In the lowest grade of the Harrison-street School there are 75 pupils, while in that of the Couch there are C7. The Chapman was not quite so badly crowded, but Henry Wlttenburg re marked: "That'll be a school yet; Just wait un til tho Fair comes." An attempt will be made to secure a room to use as annex to the Highland School, as that Is too full for comfort. Four portable schoolhouses were ordered at an aggregate cost of $1500. The sites for these have not yet been determined. A half-pay teacher was allowed to tho Ockley Green School, and Miss Mary Bird and Miss Sadie Brown were ap pointed to fill the places of two resigned teachers In the Falling School. Superintendent Rlgler told of the ad vantage of water-color drawing over the "work now being done In that line by the seventh and eighth grades, and will dem onstrate It by showing specimens of work done by pupils to a committee. A dingy old building on Powell street Is now used for the overflow of the Clin ton Kelly and Brooklyn schools, and re joices in tb name of the Lee Chapel Annex. It is the ruie that principals may inflict corporal punishment, and Miss Elsa Ohle, the teacher in the annex, has found that her principal was too distant to use the rod at the proper time. The board Inserted a new clause in the code, and hereafter Miss Ohle may apply the slipper when she deems It necessary. The bid of the J. K. Gill Company for the school library of .the Stephens School was accepted, for the board considered that, though this bid was higher than that of another firm, the. quality of bind ings gave it the preference. The propriety of selling school prop erty was discussed. Two thousand five hundred dollars has been offered for sev eral lots on North Eighteenth street, and the matter was referred to the proper committee. The Sunnyslde School ap parently needs more than one coat of paint on some parts, and the work can be done for $150, in addition to the $1400 contract for outside and Inside painting. The building committee will look Into the matter. Mrs.' L. W. Sltton said that she had been asked to order pencil-sharpeners for a number of schools. These cost $5, and Mrs. Sltton wished to know If the board deemed them necessary. JSevoral mem bers examined the sharpener in the school clerk's office, and decided tnat they were great time-savers. Many of the schools have petitioned for new window shades, and this was referred to the sup ply committee. Chairman Williams an nounced that he had rented a room for the use of the Sellwood School for $10 per month. DAMAGE SALE. Have bought shorts and middlings damaged by sinking of Lurline.

Site Is Donated and Building; Com pleted Without Debt Superinten dent Tells of County Schools. The handsome new schoolhouse in dis trict 27, at Rockwood, was opened yes terday forenoon by Professor R. F. Rob inson, County School Superintendent, in the presence of the school, the directors and a considerable number of the patrons. The building Is a one-room structure on the cross road between the Base and Section Line roads, and stands on an acre donated by the owners of the Buckman tract. The cost of the build ing, with the new bell and flag, was near ly $1200. There are no debts. On a prop erty valuation of $39,550 a tax of 25 mills was levied. The district was cut off from No. 7 about one year ago and in that time the new district has levied the tax, completed the schoolhouse and started the school without debt. Thomas McManus, Richard Taggert and Mr. Love lace are the directors. L. P. Smith was the architect, and John Brown, who built the Gresham building, was the builder. Sixty pupils may be accommodated. Miss Clara Love is the teacher. The bell and flag were bought by subscription. The pupils and patrons assembled in the front of the schoolhouse, and after the group and building had been photo graphed, the flag was raised and the bell rang for the first time. Professor Rob inson partly raised the flag and then per mitted a schoolboy to finish the work as an object lesson. An hour was then spent Inside the schoolroom. After a few words of welcome from the teacher, Miss Love, Professor Robinson was In troduced and he made a thoroughly prac tical talk, first to the school children and then to the patrons. He congratulated tho patrons of the school on the com pletion of the new building, and said a schoolhouse was an expression of the peo ple of a district. The schoolhouse al ways showed whether the people were progressive or not. In speaking of the schools of Multnomah County, the Super intendent said in this county there were 1C596 pupils,- of which number 3000 were In the country. For last year $175,000 had been spent on the schools of Multnomah County, and of this amount $100,000 had gone Into the country schools. He closed his talk by urging the patrons to sup port the school and always to be har monious. . Following came brief remarks by Di rectors McManus. Taggert, Architect S. P. Smith and Contractor Brown. Mr. Smith said he had recently been in dif ferent portions of the state, but found that none of the counties ho visited had better schoolhouses than Multnomah. He closed his remarks by presenting Miss Love, the teacher, with the key o, the building. . The audience was then dis missed and the regular work of the school commenced. The people of the district are proud of the new building. This district has broken the record In the organization of a new district, erect ing a building and starting school without debt, in less than a year. , WILL SOOX BE DEDICATED. Mixpah Church Building:, "Yearly Fin ished, In Credit to City. The dedication of the new MIzpah Presbyterian Church, on Powell and East Thirteenth streets, will take place about the mlddlaaf October. Practically the building will be completed a little be--fore that time. It Is built a little on the same lines of the Third Presbyterian Church, the plans having been prepared by the same architect, only .on a smaller scale. It Is a beautiful church, and will cost, when completed, about $0000. The building is now so far along that the art glass windows 'have been put in throughout the main portion, and the largo one for the front window will soon be placed In position. On the Inside the auditorium will face south, and the Sun day school room north. The platform and altar separate the two apartments, and these are so arranged they can be quickly changed Into one apartment. Tho combined auditorium will easily accom modate 600 people. Since work was started on this hand some church the entire membership has supported the efforts of the pastor, Rev. Jerome McGlade, In keeping up the finan cial end. Mr. McGlade is pleased at the progress of the work, arid the members at the prospect of soon getting into the new building. The church is a credit to the neighborhood and to the members. TO COMMENCE DRYING PRUNES. Orchnrulsts Begin Gathering Fruit end One Drier Has Started. Fred Smith came In from his fruit farm east of the Sandy River yesterday. Prune drying has not yet commenced, but Mr. Smith thinks by next Monday his crop will be ready for the drier. Those who have seen the trees on-Mr. Smith's orch ard are amazed at the yield on the young trees. There 13 no other orchard in Mult nomah County in which the trees are so heavily, loaded with prunes, with excep tion of the orchard of Thomas Evans, which Is in the same district. At the Alden orchard on the Section road, the drier was started yesterday. On the large orchard on the Powell Valley road the crop Is being gathered. The crop seems to mature earlier this side of the Sandy. There seems a consider able shortage on the lowlands, however. The experience of Mr. Smith and Mrs. Evans is that prunes are -a sure crop on the uplands. Will Install Pastor. - Rev. Andrew J. Montgomery will be In stalled as pastor of the Third Presbyter ian Church Thursday evening. Rev. H. S. Templeton. of Westminster Church, will moderate the meeting: Rev. Edgar P. Hill, D.

All the district schools in this part of the county have begun their Fall terms with encouraging prospects. Most - of them began this morning, although a few were opened last Monday. In nearly all of them the attendance has not come up to the en rollment of lat year by fully 25 per cent. but It will increase in a few weeks, as soon as the older boys who are yet en gaged in closing up the. Reason's work on the farms can attend. Rockwood's new schoolhouse was ready for occupancy this morning, and the opening of school was attended by County School Superintendent R. F. Rob inson, who made a formal presentation to the school of a beautiful American flag, donated by John Brown, the con tractor. The new bell, weighing 400 pounds, purchased from the proceeds ot a dance given last Wednesday evening, was placed In the tower yesterday, and was first used this looming.

There is loud walling among those poker-players who haunt the rear parts of cigar stores and saloons, eager after their favorite game. The police have Issued orders that all poker games In cigar stores and saloons must cease, or that arrests will follow. Men around town calculate that the order will stop upward of 50 poker games, which form erly were played nearly , every night. The order against, poker playing came to the police from Mayor Williams, and the policemen who served the instruc tions to the poker "talent" say that the saloon and cigar people were not very much surprised. They have been ex pecting some such order for the past month.. Excepting certain Whitechapel saloons, where poker games ran every night, except Sunday, there were few games running at uptown saloons of the better class. Games for table stakes are said to have been played at certain attractive-looking rooms at the back of well-known cigar stores on Sixth, Fifth and Washington streets, but no bitter complaints are known to have come from the losers. Dealers who presided at the green tables were generally the proprietors of cigar stores, or men specially engaged for the evening, and play generally lasted until 11 o'clock or later. Then more cigars were bought by both winners and losers, and the soul of the cigar dealer re joiced accordingly. No young boys were noticed among the poker players, and there was always an- absence of disord erly conduct "What are you going to do now?" was asked a poker player last night. "Play In my room or at a clubhouse," he re plied prompty. "My room is my castle, and the clubhouse will not be raided if it Is swell enough. Now, I cannot for the life of me see why those cigar-store games were Interfered with. The players were nearly all business men who could afford to lose If they played in hard luck. The play was 10-cent ante with a blind costing two-bits to play, bringing the pots up to an average of $2. Often the hands were good, and I've seen pots all the way from $10 to $100. The rake-off was small, "generally speaking." EPOCH IN OREGON HISTORY Historical Society Will Discuss Con stitutional Convention.

BUOY LIGHTED BY GAS. Manzanlta Attempts to Anchor the First on Columbia Bar. An attempt was made -last Saturday and Sunday by the lighthouse tender Man zanlta to anchor a Plntsch gas buoy on the Columbia River bar. This buoy was once anchored off the Umatilla Reef for four months, during the Summer, and was not injured, but it remains to be seen whether it will withstand the Winter storms and the effect of the tides. The gas is of the same quality that Is- used on passenger cars, and- sufficient gas is" stored in the. partially" submerged welded Iron cylinder' under the lamp . to keep the beacon burning continuously for six months, the light being so powerful that on a clear night it may be seen for eight miles.
