In addition to the usual extensive variety of berries and fruits with which the Port land markets have been lavishly supplied this season, large quantities of huckle berries have been shipped in, some from Yaquina Bay and other points along the coast, and some from Fuget Sound, which have found a ready sale at 10 cents per pound, or three pounds for 25 cents. They have been coming for about six weeks, and are still pouring' In. They are of the variety known as the mountain low bush huckleberry, and have found favorwith many, but in point of excellence and fla vor they cannot compare with the old "low-bush huckleberry" which used to be so plentiful in parts of the Willamette Valley in early days, but which disap pears before civilization, or rather, be fore agriculturists and the grazing of flocks and herds, This berry was the smallest of the huckleberry tribe, and grew on the lowest shrub, only about a foot in height, but it was in as great de mand and as eagerly sought after as the wild blackberry is today, and those who once tasted it never forgot the enchant ing taste and flavor. Some who buy the huckleberries now so plentiful imagine they are getting the little old low-bush huckleberry, but they are quickly unde ceived when they taste them, In sauce, pie or pudding. A few years ago a farm er named Case, up in Marlon County, who had a patch of these low-bush huckleber ries inclosed and preserved, used to bring a wagonload to this city every season, but nothing has been seen of him or the berries of late, and It is probable that his patch has followed the other patches and flisappeared. It would probably be as im possible to grow these berries under cul tivation as it is to grow wild strawber ries or wild blackberries, the delicious flavor of which disappears under cultiva tion. Progress on Fourth-Street Improve meot. The Improvement 'to the Southern Pacific Railroad on Fourth street is rap idly being completed, by paving the open spaces along the outside of the rails with wood blocks. Thi3 work Is completed to a little south of Stark, and several car loads of the treated blocks are placed ready to continue It, and in a short time Fourth street will be free for traffic to eouth of Morrison. Many people gather to watch th,e process of laying the blocks, and to Examine the artificially formed groove in the rails, and to express opin ions as to how it Is going to affect the wheels of vehicles. They also worry themselves because tho wood blocks be ing laid do not exactly All the space up to the rail, and a 'piece an Inch or so In thickness has to be inserted in more than half the rows, to All them out They are afraid that these thin pieces will not last as long as whole blocks. This, how- ever, is a matter which concerns the railroad company principally. Dice Loaded With Celluloid. A per son whose knowledge of cards, dice, craps and such like Implements Is not extensive was looking through a showcase full of them a day or two ago, with considerable curiosity. Among the numerous things strange to him he. saw a small coll of what appeared to be white cord, about the size of the bass string of a violoncello. He asked the dealer what it was, and was told that it was celluloid, and that it was used for marking dice for the purpose of making them unfair. The holes being bored in the Ivory dice, the celluloid could be Inserted to make the spots to mark It, The celluloid being light, the side on which it was used would have a tendency to fall upward when the-dice ;was thrown, and thus be unfair and dishonest When asked if he made such unlawful and swin dling dice, the dealer Indignantly denied that he did anything of the sort; he only sold the materials, and the crap fiends, dice experts, who desired to rob suckers, did the changing. Reckless Drivers Run Over OCd Man. Two young fellows in a buggy ran over an old man named John Hogemeler last evening on the Canyon road, near the Poor Farm. In their anxiety to avoid any consequences of their act they whipped up their horse and disappeared. A mem ber of the Volunteers of America wit nessed the accident and brought word to the Poor Farm. Superintendent Court ney immediately went out with a stretch er, and the Injured man was given surg' leal attention. It was found that he hjd Buffered a fracture of one ankle and sev eral severe bruises. He could give little account of himself. He was made as comfortable as possible last night and this morning inquiry will bo made as to his circumstances. He gave his residence as 2SS First street To Use Oil as Fuel. The Western Clay Manufacturing Company, which has been getting things in readiness to use crude oil as fuel in the operation of their fur naces, will start two furnaces, with oil this week. Under permission of the Coun cil they have constructed a tank for stor ing 800 barrels, or five carloads of the oil. It is of concrete, 30 feet long, 20 feet wide and 12 feet high, the walls being two feet thick, with an arched roof, supported on steel T beams, the whole four feet under ground. The oil to fill this tank is on the way, and some of the cars are due at once, and as soon as the oil is In the tanks two furnaces will be started. In order that the employes may by degrees become accustomed to the use of oil as fuel. : Loo Falls on Sawmill Employe. H. W. McKeown, who works In a sawmill near Troutdale, was brought to the St Vincent's Hospital last night with his leg fractured and his back badly sprained. He does not seem to know exactly how It happened, but says that In some way a log was rolled on top of him. It was a large log. and he thinks that he is for tunate that he did not have the life crushed out of him. He will probably be confined to his bed for several months. Bazaar fob Soldiers' Monument. The committee which Is arranging "a bazaar to raise funds for the erection of a mon ument to soldiers of four wars in Lone Fir cemetery, decided yesterday to hold It In Portland December 1 to 13, and to push it with vigor, so as to insure a great success. The subcommittee on location reported progress In Its search, but de cision on this point was deferred till the next meeting, which will be held next Sunday, October 26, at 3:30 P. M at 64 Grand avenue. Hens Form a Trust. The hens have formed a, trust lately, and fresh-laid eggs have risen, and only about half enough are being produced to supply the demand, at 85 cents per dozen. Purchasers who complain at being charged 35 cents per dozen for fresh Oregon eggs are told that fresh eggs are 40 cents a dozen In Seattle and 45 cents in San Francisco, and are expected to feel consoled by this.

A well-! known citizen of 77 years, who had been out In the country, and had a large paper sack of mushrooms In his hand, which he had gathered himself, was standing at the corner of Fifth and Morrison streets, Saturday afternoon, waiting for a car. Another old-time citizen, who will bo 80 In a few months, came to the same cor ner to wait for the same car. The man with the mushrooms exhibited them proudly, and said that they were to be put up in glass, adding that he had bought about 100 pounds In the market, which were already put up, but It was difficult to find really fresh ones. He then asked nls friend of 7: "Where have you been lately? I haven't seen you for a week or so." "I have been busy for a week," was the answer. "I had 12 cords of wood to be put In, and it was so hard to find any one to do It that I concluded to put it in myself." "Did you wheel It In in a wheel barrow?" asked 77. "No, Indeed; I had to carry It up a flight of 11 steps, two or three sticks at a time. Two cords re quired 500 trips. The 12 cords required 3000 trlps.'of course, and the 11 steps must be gone up and down at each trip. I walked up 33,000 steps and down the same number, besides carrying the wood to the steps and from the head of the steps into the storeroom to pile It up. I gbt in six cords In three days, and finished the other six this forenoon, and so had the after noon to come down town." As they boarded the car which came up, a strang er who had overheard their conversation remarked: "By Jingo! they raise pretty husky old men here In Oregon." Favors Sprinkling Streets With Oil. Robert Alexander, who has lately re turned from a visit to San Francisco, Is very enthusiastic In regard to the use of crude oil, both for fuel and for sprinkling streets. He says he was strolling through Golden Gate Park after arain, when he ran across Robert Wakefield, who has Just finished a $350,000 contract for wharves and ferry slips In San Francisco, and they strolled along the, main thor oughfare through the park, which was clean and free from mud. owintr to hav ing been sprinkled with crude oil, while the cross streets, not improved in the same way, were over shoe in mud. The Southern Pacific has built tanks for crude oil at every station between San Francisco and Oregon, and will soon be using It to fire all their engines on that line. Mr. Alexander, who Is a dealer in railroad ties, piles, etc., says it Is an act of vandalism and a robbery of the state to cut trees into a cord of wood, worth on the ground only $2 50, when the same tree If cut Into railroad ties would be worth $7 50. On this scale he figures a vast loss on the number of trees cut Into cord wood. As to sprinkling roads and streets with oil, If It makes them look like asphalt and does away with dust and mud. Oregon is Just the place where it is needed. Junkmen Try to Loot a Safe. A large amount of iron from the ruins of build ings destroyed by the late fire at Grant's Pass was bought up by Junk dealers of this city and was recently shipped to tho rolling mills here. At the same time the safe of the Sugar Pine Lumber Company, which had been through the fire, was shipped to Agent Davis, of the DIebold Safe & Lock Company, to be repaired, if possible, and if not, that a valuable burglar-proof chest in It might be saved. In some way the safe got among the Junk, and the Junk-dealers' men, It seems, de cided to make Junk of It The consequence was that when it came to the hands of Agent Davis, a day or two ago, It was' in bad condition, the hinges having been broken off, the door removed and the moldings and ornamental work on the front broken and mostly removed, and the general appearance of the safe most dis reputable. The only thing to be done was to house it and try and get the burglar proof chest, which Is valuable, out of it This Job Mr. Davis now has in hand, and his opinion of the fellows who got the door off the safe is that they are vandals and that they were trying to get into the safe In hope of finding valuables there. Saloonkeeper Refused a License. Some time ago the license of Messrs. Love & Cavanaugh, proprietors- of a saloon at 95 Fifth street, was revoked, the authori ties having found out that the place was a rendezvous for criminals and disrepu table people. Soon after, the saloon was purchased by William Polltz. He expend ed considerable money in fitting and fur nishing the place, and recently applied for a license. In the meantime the license committee received information which has convinced them that Polltz was working in the interests of the former proprietors and his disreputable patrons In purchas ing and fitting up the saloon. On this ac count the committee refused Mr. Politz a license. Just how he is to recoup him self for his expense In fitting up the place, and who will be the next to en deavor to run that saloon, remains to be seen. Grand Jury to Resume Work. The grand Jury has scarcely completed half of its work. Owing to the sickness of Clerk J. R. GilBtrap, the body has not been in session since Thursday. Tho murder case of Lem Gouw has not yet been decided upon, and much time has been occupied in inquiry as to grafting. Nearly 30 wit nesses have been brought before the Jury, but both sides have not been heard as yet T,he deliberations of the Jury may be resumed today, or they may be post poned for several days. Arrested for Riding on Sidewalk. R. Maida, a Jap, was arrested yesterday near the Terminal Depot, by Policeman Welch, charged with riding his bicycle on the sidewalk, and very much to his astonishment he was taken to the pblice station, where he left his bicycle as secur ity that he will appear to day in the Mu nicipal Court tot a hearing.

Sasamorl, the dean of the Meth odist College at Nagasaki Japan, ad dressed a crowded roomful of men at the Young Men's Christian Association yesterday afternoon. Miss Jean Shupp, the musical director of the Grace Methodist Church, rendered a beautiful solo, ac companied by Professor W. M. Wilder on the organ. Dr. Sasamorl proved to be a decidedly fluent and interesting speaker. The audience included many of his coun trymen, who, though they had possibly never heard of their distinguished com patriot yet came in numbers to listen. "The first cause of the religious awak ening in Japan is the revision of the old treaties," said the speaker. "These treaties were in effect for many years, and under them foreigners were allowed to live only in the concessions. "Another cause is the successful career of many Japanese statesmen, the ma jority of whom are Christians. The per centage of Christians to those as yet unconverted is 1 to every 1000 of the population, yet the Speaker of the House of Commons is a Christian, and the laws are founded on Christian principles. For Instance, a law has been passed prohibit ing any boy under 18 from smoking; an other has been passed forbidding him to drink. If he should do either of these things, his parents would be reprimanded and the dealer fined. These new laws are also great elements In the religious awak ening.

Miss Wolfo, of the Metropolitan Op era Elspeth Graham McNeill Miss Hartman, of the Metropolitan Opera Mina Oleason Henry ..: Robert Slddlt The story of the play now running at the Baker Is that .of "the other man." Two aspiring young men, one devoted to music, the second to poetry, are starving in an attempt to make their way. With a humorous acceptance of the dreary make shifts of material existence they unite a reverence for the Ideal that makes friend ship a religion. Both love the same girl, an opera singer, but also the daughter of a nobleman and the adopted daughter of a rich man. Fate in the form of Harold Hunting, the director of the ojera-house, steps between her and the man she loves, the pianist, Adrian Karje. Through vari ous stages her love for him is changed Into hatred (as she thinks), and the lovers are united only through the unselfish agency of the other man. Jack Peyton, who loves her, too. The drama is almost too familiar to need being recalled to memory, but in it the Nelll Stock Company have done such ex cellent work that it is all new once more. It is a good play. While not pretentious nor densely tragic, -the atmosphere is so closely that of ordinary life that the pathos is very touchlhg, and the Jokes they are the gay, happy, beautiful Jokes loved by the denizens of the careless coun try of Bohemia. Special praise Is due Mr. Mower as the erring father and Mr. Dills as Mr. Peyton, Sr. Both characterizations are most ex cellently well done. In fact, it may be doubted whether finer work than that of Mr. Fred Mower In the third act is pos sible. And it was such a surprise, for in the earlv nart nf tho iVInv his nnrinf vnn disappointing, and one felt that he was I ut oi iiunie in nia pari. .nr. uuis is a comedian with a personal element in his work that adds interest, and few hesi tated yesterday to give him almost their entire attention when he was on the stage. Mr. Wyngate carries the real burden on his shoulders, and It Is not too much to say that he was very good throughout. In some scenes he was superb, and with another performance he will have the rough places smoothed out. If theater-goers doubted Mr. Russell's ability on the piano, they were converted by his playing yesterday. Most took the whole performance as a huge Joke until they heard the music keeping on and swelling Into genuine and unmistakable strength. And then came the marvel and the beauty of the act. Marguerite has been convinced that she and Adrian Karje must part. In the presence-of all the com pany she has to sing, and for her song she chooses "Good-bye." It Is Miss Catherine Countlss that plays this part, and as she stood as Marguerite before the lights in womanly simplicity while her lover struck the opening chords of the farewell song, the house was hushed In wonder. Slowly but surely the vibrant voice rose and the words rang out clearly, distinctly and sadly. Heartache, passion, longing then the notes choked, and with a sob the singer swayed and fell senseless to the floor. There was a mo ment's hush, and then the house weflt wild. The rest of the cast did very well. Mr. Bernard acted with his usual skill and poise, and Miss Gleason and Miss McNeill were better than their lines. To Mr. Rus sell Is due the credit of sustaining through out a very difficult role. His work was of a high order. Tho last scene in "Friends" is the old """j i A-utjiii. xiiui ruuuu wicn I the wrong ending. But it is dramatically tsausiying.

The Buddhists are now trying to make converts by the same methods, but their efforts are unsuccessful, for the Christian machine without Christian fire cannot be a success." In closing, Dr. Sasamorl asked that the prayers of the association here might be given for the success of the Japanese as sociations. C. V. HIbberd. of the University of Wis consin, who will accompany Dr. Sasa morl to Japan, spoke a few words of farewell to the assembly, and told of tho needs of tho associations there. General Secretary H. W. Stone and Reno Hutchinson, tho leader of the re ligious services, .then presented the need of a Y. M. C. A. auditorium In Naga saki, and stated that the Portland' asso ciation had pledged Itself for 1600, and that Seattle had promised $400 for this purpose. The audience responded to the call for a generous donation, and in the collection baskets passed around nearly every coin was of a large denomination. TRIED TO RUN A MEETING Nels Sager Is Arrested, and Then Starts Flsht In City Jail. Under the Influence of liquor, Nels Eager, about 30 years old, attempted to run tho meeting conducted by the Vol unteers of America at Second and Burn sido streets last night Policemen Grif fith Roberts and Patton were passing Just then, and, attracted by Sager's shouts, they went into the meeting and placed him under arrest, as he threatened to do harm to all and sundry. On being con veyed to the police station a Jack-stick with a leather thong attached was found In one of his pockets, but Sager was too much under the influence of liquor to give an Intelligent explanation as to why he carried such a weapon. He refused to go to his cell, and the officers were compelled to nearly carry him there. Left to his own reflections, Eager sat up, looked around him and said to another prisoner: "I don't like your face; take It away.'' "You need not look at it," retorted the prisoner whose face was under criticism. Sager answered by slapping the man in the face, and before the other prisoners could interfere for the affair happened in what is known as the big cell Sager was knocked out in less time than it takes to tell it, and he sat up and asked, "Who threw a brick at me?" Blood was flowing from his face. By this time the police had heard the noise of the affray, and they separated Sager from his antagonist Just In time.

Ogden There was not a single seat vacant when the curtain was raised at Cordray's last night Standing room was at a pre mium, and, although the "S. R. O.'V sign had been hung early, there were hun dreds who had applied for permission to stand In the aisles, and who were turned away. The bill on the boards was "The Con vict's Daughter." Briefly told, the story was one of a father who had become a convict, and who, as an escape, had in his subsequent wayfaring been thrown into contact with his daughter. In the person of Blackadder, he finds an ir reconcilable enemy, and In Warburton a friend. Through the threats of Black adder, ho claims that the heroine is his daughter, as she is in fact but not ow ing to hi3 wandering life, to his knowl edge. Through many vicissitudes -the convict and daughter pass, until In the end the young lady is handed to her best beloved, and "the father comes from the penitentiary with a full acquittal, and in time to witness the ceremony. "The Convict's Daughter" has many fascinating situations. Colonel and Mrs. Gould are lovable characters, and Jack Warburton would not be a bad type of the new South if he would interpret the new South as it Is understood in the Northwest. James Blackadder proved to be a good character, and he was dujy recognized as the villain of the play, for there were very few scenes in which he escaped a hissing. To all of which Mr. Daniel bowed his acknowledgments. Mr. Ogden, in his triple character, was not as good as he might have been. Several ly, he showed his adaptability to char acter, and in Instances he portrayed those characters to a limit that exhausted the plaudits of the audience. With the as sistance of Susan and Blackadder, he en tertained the audience to a great extent during the evening, but there were not a few who wished that Mr. Ogden had con fined himself to a slighter compass and entertained on a smaller scale. ' J. H. Stoddnrt Tonight. Mr. J. H. Stoddart in "The Bonnie Brier Bush" is the attraction at the Mar quam Grand Theater for three nights, be ginning this evening. All of those who havo heard of the favorite old actor's suc cess In New York in this his new piece, as well as those who remember him in previous plays, will look forward with great anticipation to his appearance here. There was always an indescribable charm about the kailyard stories of Ian Mac Laren, and it is said that in correlating these into a play the dramatist, James MacArthur, has even intensified the Scotch dialect It is a well-known fact that even the humblest Highlander is grounded in the rudiments of education. The patois, therefore, is always suffi ciently pure to be easily comprehended. Mr. Stoddart brings with him the same excellent supporting company which so ably supplemented hlk efforts in New York and helped to make "The Bonnie Brier Bush" one of the biggest successes of the season.

STEPPED IN FRONT OF TRAIN Switchman Woerndle Is Frightfully Injured at Fnlrvlew. A careless step may mean the death of J. Woerndle, who was brought .to the St. Vincent's Hospital Saturday night with his skull fractured and his right leg broken. He has been unconscious since the accident, and but little can be learned as to how it happened. He was a switch man for the O. R. &. N. at Fairview, and was waiting to flag a train Saturday evening. He was standing by the switch, as near as can be learned, waiting for the train to come from one direction, not knowing of train No. 1. which was ap proaching from the opposite direction. He had apparently made soma mistake In his time, and thought he was waiting too long. .The engineer could have seen him standing by the track, but must have thought that he heard the train and that there was no need to sound the whistle. The switchman, however, seemed to have known nothing of train No. 1, and. won dering why the one he was waiting for did not come, etepped onto the track to see if it was in sight. This action was entirely unlooked for by the engineer and It was too late for the engine to be stopped, and too late for the unfortunate man to get off the track. It was thought that he must have been killed instantly, but. In some miraculous way, he escaped immediate death. From his condition, however, there seems to be but little hope of his recovery. His body is mangled by the grinding or tho great wheels, and there is a fracture In his skull which alone would In most cases prove fatal Besides this, there Is a, fracture of his leg, and the shock was so great that ho is still unconscious. Jle was taken at once to the St. Vin cent's Hospital. At a late hour last night he still showed signs of being alive but BOOK SEASON Our line of books Is readv for your inspection.

Nothing can be learned of him other than that he was in the employ of the company there as a switchman. He seems to be a man of about 40 years, and If he has a family here they cannot yet have found out his misfortune, for there has been no one to see him at the hos pital except a man who knew him while at work, but who apparently knows noth ing of his history.

E. P. Hill on "Home Missions." It is noteworthy that one of Dr. Hill's elders, R. K. Warren, 334 Montgomery street, was ordained as elder' In the old Clatsop Plains church during the period of the Civil War. Mr. Warren was an ardent sympathizer with the North, and in a prayer he gave in the old church at that time he prayed for the success of the Northern armies. At the conclusion of the service, a friend said to him: "I am a Northern man myself, v and I am heartily with you in the .views you ex pressed in that prayer. But, all tho same, you are probably the only elder who thinks the way you do about the war. The others are mostly for the Con federacy." Admired by Mrs. General Otis. It is seldom that the Portland people are afforded an opportunity to carefully study one of the great world paintings, the masterpieces from the brush of the leading foreign artists.

Mrs. General Otis and the leading Judges of art in Los Angeles recently pronounced this the greatest painting ever exhibited on the Pacific Coast. Bridge Collapsed at Walla AVnlln. WALLA WALLA.
