It Is not safe to leave farmhouses unprotected these days, as Dr. O. P. S. Pluramer has found out. About a week ago he went out to his ranch near Bertha, as he fre quently does, to spend a quiet night. When hf -went to unlock the door he found that some one had unlocked it for him. Nothing appearing disturbed, he made a good fire and read until bedtime. On going to his bedroom upstairs he found his crosscut saw and auger lying on the floor tied up in sheets. He said several things not to be repeated, but in the morning he discovered that the best buggy harness, which he had left hanging in his tenant-house, which he also found un locked, was missing with several other articles and he began to mistrust that something wae wrong. On returning to town he told his story to Policeman Snow and gave him a description of the lost harness. Snow had seen such a harness on Front street and took Dr. Plummcr down and showed him his harness and ateo a side-saddle which the thief had sold because he had, as he said, leased his farm and should not want them any more. The dealer described the man who sold him the harness and the doctor at once recognized him as Fred A. Mullln, who had onco been in charge of chicken ranch near his farm. A move was made for his capture, but he had been stealing other things and wan wanted for lifting a lot of meerschaum pipes and the doctor found him in the City Jail and expressed his joy at the meeting and remarked that "'the right man was in the right place for once, sure." "Say. Mullln, where is my clock, the wrench and other little things you took?" asked the doctor, but Mullln, having been already committed, was strictly noncommittal and the Interview came to an end. Moffit's Escape ii. Portland. Robert Percy Moflit, lately of Hong Kong, China, had a narrow escape from being arrested Wednesday afternoon, at the Union Terminal Depot, as he and his wife passed through here on a train en Toute for Seattle. He Is wanted to answer a charge of having embezzled $2075 from the Dairy Farm Company, of Hong Kong, where he was employed as secretary of the company. He and Mrs. Moffit, trav eling under the name of Mr. and Mrs. J. Perry, arrived In a steamer from the Orient, at San Francisco, at the early part of this week, and he was promptly arrested there on receipt of telegraphic Instruction from the Orient by the Brit ish Consul at San Francisco, but obtained his release through a writ of habeas cor pus, on the ground that he had been illeg ally arrested. Then he and his wife dis appeared for the time being, and boarded a drawing-room car attached to a train going to thlg city. The train had hardly reached Portland, when James Laldlaw, the British Consul at this port, got a dispatch from the British Consul at San Francisco asking him to take means to have Moffit arrested. Mr. Laldlaw se cured the services of Detectives Day and Wciner, and the latter ran to the depot. but the train had pulled out a few min utes before. However, the Seattle police were communicated with over the long distance telephone, and when Moffit ar rived In Seattle Wednesday night, he was arrested on a fugitive warrant, under the extradition treaty between this country and Great Britain. Hard to Get Iron Rails. Several per sons standing looking at the heavy grooved rails lately laid in Third street were trying to make out why' these rails had to be procured In Belgium. One said it must be because of the Iron trust, as there was no Iron ore In Belgium. An other said that while the United States was making more iron goods and iron of all kinds than any other country, there was not enough made for home consump tion. The purchasing agent of a. large corporation said he had a great deal of trouble In procuring many articles of hardware. Many things he used to be able to ibiiy at the hardware stores he has now to got made at the blacksmith shops. The hardware man ordered them, but could not get them, all the factories be ing overcrowded with work. A builder said the same state of affairs prevailed here In the lumber business. While the mills are making millions of feet of lum ber for the Government to send to the Philippines, builders here have great dif ficulty In getting orders filled. For a special order for timbers for a large roof he had to wait three months, and all builders have to wait to get orders for lumber filled. As there is to be a large number of business blocks built In this city next season it is to be hoped that manufacturers of all kinds may be able to catch up with their orders soon and be able to supply things on time.

It had everything in readiness to begin using the oil Just be fore the rains began, but the rain has prevented operations being started. The company built a large tank and had many barrels of oil stored in it. The rain was so plentiful and heavy that It forced itself through the tank four feet under the ground, and sank to the bottom. The pump used In feeding the furnaces reaches to the bottom of the tank, of course, so as to get oil when there might be only a little In the tank, and when there was water at the bottom, it just pumped out water and notwithstanding that this had beep In close contact with the oil It would not burn. It took a lot of time and trouble to find and stop the weak place In the tank through which the water found its way. The tank was not of boilerplate but of cement and two feet In thickness, but Oregon rainwater is very penetrating. The pump now draws oil and the furnaces of the company will be fed with it in future. Crawfish Need Protection. A large box of crawfish was displayed for sale at a market yesterday, many of them with eggs fastened under their bodies. A fish erman, who catches crawfish all summer, said it should not be allowed to catch them at this time of the year, or they will soon be exterminated, as they should now be stowed away In their Winter quarters under stono? or In the mud at the bottom of streams. The crawfish have been in great demand in this city for several years past and all the streams within many miles have been fished for them till they are exhausted. Tons and tons of them have been brought In from the Tualatin River, and many thousand dol lars have been paid for these "Insects." The edible contents of a crawfish will hardly pay one for the trouble of extract ing them, but when highly spiced and seasoned many pay a liberal price for a plate of them. What is needed now is a law to protect crawfish. First Heavy Frost. The first heavy frost of the season made the sidewalks slippery Wednesday night. The mercury slid aown the tube to the 34-degree mark and late travelers of the streets turned up the collars of their overcoats and said it felt like Winter. The rains which have fallen over the Northwest during the past few days have now reached Southern California, where their rare presence has been heartily welcomed. The Willamette Is already receding from the high stage reached Wednesday, for the water stood at the 10-foot mark yesterday morning, showing a fall of six Inches. The river has been dotted for the past few days with drift of all kinds brought down by the high water. Frost may come almost any night, for It is their open season now. The one Wednesday extended to the coast and North Head reported the same tem perature as this city. Came From Island, of Jersey. Mention was made In these columns a short time ago of a bough loaded with remarkably fine, long-keeping pears from an old orchard in Washington County, and It was added that It has been Impossible to ascertain the name of the pear. A cor respondent writes from Kerby, Or., sug gesting that the pear may be the Char montelle,. crown on the Island of Jersey, In the English Channel. These pears do not begin -to ripen until Christmas or later, and at that season, 25 years ago, a shilling each (25 cents) was the price for them in Covent Garden Market, London. It is to be hoped that many grafts from the trees bearing the pear will be used next Spring, so that the species may be kept from dying out hero. Whatever the name may be the pear Is a remarkably fine one, and an extraordinary keeper. Loggers Resume Work. The owners of Benson's logging camp, who have been 'laying off waiting, for weather it Is pos sible to work In. started back to camp Tuesday and Wednesday, and Mr. Benson said he supposed they were at work yes terday, probably a little short-handed The log supply Is beginning to look scanty and the millmen have been urging the. loggers, to ?ltart work again as the sup ply of logs has not been keeping up with the consumption. "If I had a hundred million feet of logs in the river now." said Mr. Benson yesterday, "they would all be grabbed up within 24 hours." The men from all the logging camps closed down by the storm are getting back -to camp and. If the weather Is at all favor able, they will all be at work In a day or two. Children Sent to Poor Farm. Three bright children brought by their mother from Clackamas County were sent to the poor farm yesterday. The woman. In re latlng her troubles at the Courthouse, said she came to Portland and secured work and Intended placing the children In some of the Children's Homes, a'hd paying for their support, but because of con tagious diseases in these Institutions was unable to do so. She stated that she had two more children who are with her parents, and that her husband deserted them all. The poor farm report for Oc tober showed 130 Inmates, and about 30 persons have been sent there since. Society Elects Officers. The To. Logeion S6clety, at the High School,"yes terday (November 20) elected the follow ing officers for the ensuing term: Coulson Soule, president; Harry Raffety, vice- president; Thomas Langford, secretary: Oliver Walker, assistant secretary; Albert Toung, treasurer; Albert Newsom, editor, and v lctor Wllhelm, sergeant-at-arms, The society Is now in a flourishing con dition and Is preparing an entertainment to be held in the assembly hall of the school, December 12, commemorating its fourth anniversary. Recommends Higher Standard for Milk. Food and Dairy Commissioner Bailey is making out his biennial report, He will recommend that the standard of milk be raised from 3 to 3 per cent of butter fat. "In justice to the consumer I believe that the standard required by law snouia be raised." said Mr. Bailey yesterday. "I have made many tests of miiK and I have raTely found the con tents of butter fat less than 4 per cent.' Mr. Bailey will ask also that butter squares, or rolls, be required to contain 16 and 32 ounces. Charged With Larceny. The owner ship of horse blankets and saddle led to the arrest, yesterday, of Charles Ward, 17 years old, at Fourth and Yamhill streets by Detectives Day and Welner. chareed with larceny, on the complaint of the Sheriff of Alturas County, Idaho. Ward Is accused of shipping the articles to this city, and trying to dispose of them. Charged With Destroying Property.

AT THE THEATERS "The Belle of Xevr York." Ichabod Bronson Ned Dye Harry Bronson.. ....Harry A. Truax Karl von Pumpernlck Ma Bloom "Bllnky Bill" Joe Natus "Doc" Snlffkins Howard Crampton Kenneth Mugg James Darling Violet Gray Floye Redledge Fill Frlcot Marie Delia Rosa Cora Angcllque Charlotte TJart Mamie Clancy Toble Cralge The old favorite, "The Belle of New York," now at the Marquam, seems as fresh as of old. It always appealed to certain widely separated tastes, and the old frank call to enjoyment is still heard gladly. Scenlcally and musically, this comic opera is of the best There is nothing distinctly imperative about any of it. But he Is a sober soul who cannot get out of every scene a pleasant moment And so far as the singers go, there can be little complaint Miss Delia Rosa, the viva cious and delicate FIfl, Is a singer of no mean ability. Her voice is thin, clear and sparkling, and her management of it good. Miss Redledge has a voico with far more sweetness, more tenderness, and her work in the final scene is almost robbed of its tricky lightness by her splendid and powerful acting. The men in the cast are, for a wonder. mostly men of musical taste. Mr. Nye was especially fine, and his very con sistent playing aided throughout in help ing the audience to cling to the thread of the plot. For, as everybody knows, this opera has a plot. It is a good one, too, and the climaxes were well brought out. The chorus was trained and effectlvo; its ensembles, perhaps, might bear a restraining hand, especially In the Mar quam. However, there can be little com plaint. But few have not seen "The Belle of New York," and those few will have a treat ahead of them. Those who return to an ancient love will not be dis appointed. It "will be here tonight tomorrow after noon and tomorrow night "Hunting for Hawkins." The amusing farce-comedy, "Hunting for Hawkins," entertained the audience at Cordray's last evening. In this play no other effect is sought than to raise a laugh, and no imaginable effort is spared to secure that result. The action is rapid, and the audience laughed or grinned, according to Individual tempera ment, throughout the evening. A feature of the occasion was the attendance of a large number of the delegates to the Irri gation Convention, by Invitation of Man ager Cordray. They were marshaled to the theater by Colonel Hawkins. All persons who like "phun of tho phast and phurlous" variety may find a perennial spring of it in "Hunting for Hawkins," as produced by Gray and Heckert. Although the play has ap peared here before, it Is new to many. The plot is simple a rock on which to hang a lot of laugh-provoking situations. John E. Cain, as Owen Touchem, the pro fessional relative who "can use $5" at every period ih every act, skipped blithe ly through all complications. He is a clever comedian. Miss Blanche Newcomb was Bertha Ashley, In love with the art ist She made a hit in a couple of song specialties. Laurence M. Weaver, as Hawkins, the obliging friend who gets Into so much trouble, had no difficulty In keeping the audience wide-awake. Eugene Topping, as Dick Singleton; Seth C. Halsey, as Dr. von Winklesteln; Miss Kate Griffith, as Mrs. Ashley: Miss Min nie Carroll, as the old maid, and Miss Bertha Conway, as Mrs. Hawkins, all contributed successfully. The company will conclude here Satur day night, with the usual Saturday after noon matinee. Hoyt's Comedy MakcN a Hit. Catherine Countlss as Grace Holmes in Hoyt's clever cdmedy, "A Contented Woman," has a part to which she is well oulted and is making a host of friends this week at the Baker Theater. The rest of the company are exceptionally well cast, and the comedy goes with a dash. There will be three more .performances tonight, Saturday matinee and evening, and crowd ed houses will certainly mark the close of this very successful Hoyt Dlay. COMIXG ATTRACTIONS. Robson in "Comedy of Errors." Stuart Robson, who has revived "The Comedy of Errors" on a most elaborate scale for the present season, and who will be seen in his famous part as the Dromio of Syracuse at the Marquam Grand Theater next Wednesday night and Thanksgiving Day matinee, Novem ber 26 and 27, plans to make the present season his last in Shakespearean com edy, or in any of the other plays with which his name has been closely asso ciated during his 40-odd years on the stage. Mr. Robson has become a rich man through his profession, is now re puted to be worth more than $1,000,000, and, according to Daniel V. Arthur, his manager, intends to devote the rest of his years on the stage to the creation of absolutely new parts. TlinnkMKivinf? "Wcelc Scats on Sale. At the Baker Theater next week, in ad dition to the regular performances there will be a special Thanksgiving matinee of "A Gold Mine" on Thursday, November 27, on which occasion the Neill stock com pany will no doubt play to the largest house that has ever witnessed a theatrical performance In this theater. The ieats go on sale this morning. "A Gold Mine" was written for Mr. Nat C. Goodwin by Henry Guy Carleton, and Is one of the beat com edies ever produced by that eminent come dian, and the one in which he made his first great success. Commencing with Sunday matinee, this splendid comedy will run all next week at the Baker, and the business will surely be most gratifying to the management The Neill stock com pany will add another triumph in its pre sentation of this play, and once more prove its great popularity with the Port land public. "Lost River," at Cordray's. "One never knows" and "You can't be too careful" are two English aphorisms which are applicable to almost every con tingency, as' Josenh Arthur cnnrt-hn- moredly quoted when the relative merits and money-making powers of "Lost River" were being compared with his earlier success, "Blue Jeans." JEvents have proven that "Lost River" is even more attractive in Its exquisite rural slm- CASTOR I A Por Infants and Children.
