CORDRAT'S THEATER-This evening at 8:15. A Little Outcast." THE BAKER THEATER This evenlnc at 8:15. Nelll Stock Company In "Shall "We Forgive Her?" Send Off Tour Christmas Presents. Persons who are preparing Christmas gifts to send to friends abroad, if they desire that they should reach the friends they are intended for by Christmas day, should not delay getting them started. At this season mall and express routes are sure to bo overcrowded, and the transit and delivery of such articles delayed, and packages not sent oft at once are not likely to be delivered till a week or more after Christmas. The postofflce authori ties and express companies have this mat ter in mind. The halls at the postofflce are crowded every day now, and the clerks and carriers are overwhelmed with masses of advertising circulars and other trash, which is never started late. Postmaster Croasman has been allowed 10 extra clerks from December 17 to January 1. and extra carrier service amounting to 90 dayp for the same time. A foreign win dow has also been opened in the money order department, which is well patron ized, over 100 orders being Issued dally for all parts of the world, from Sweden and Norway to China and Japan. At the of- nce or wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express, a schedule of the dates on which Christ mas packages for different parts of the country should be sent oft is displayed for the benefit of patrons. It states that packages for the Atlantic Coast should be sent off by December 15. Patrons are also advised not to put money or jewelry In packages of merchandise to bo sent by express, and to put glassware or other fragile matter in strong wooden boxes. Those who have not sent off their Christ mas presents have little time to lose, and will do well to call at the postofflce or express office at once, or the pleasure the receipt of their presents Is expected to give will be Issued by their too late ar rival. Two Ttfos Meet. An elderly man, who in the years before he had arrived at dis cretion was a typesticker in a newspaper office and has never been able to forget it, was coming down Fifth street, past the County Courthouse, yesterday morning, when one of several prisoners In the jail who were out in the yard getting In wood came to the fence and addressed him. The man was a wild-looking specimen of humanity, who might have been the model for Gaston or Alphonse, and he wanted a nickel to buy tobacco. "I beg your par don," said the old typo, "but I have not the honor of your acquaintance; what might your name be?" "It might have been Roberts, as that is the name I have been going by, but It Is Reynolds. I am a printer." He probably meant that he used to be a printer. "I was a printer once," replied the passer, "and I have some of the traits of the profession yet; I haven't a nickel in my pocket." The unfortunate went on to explain that he had not had a chew of tobacco for 24 hpurs, but while his tale of woe aroused sympathy in the breast of the listener, it did no good, for "no hab got, how can give?" and lie had no nickel, and It would have been a willful waste of money to give the supplicant more than he asked for. Old-time printers are scarce in these days of linotypes, and it is well, but when one has once been a typesticker he never gets entirely rid of the stain of printer's ink. Roadway Needs Repairs. A lot of tim ber for the repair of the elevated roadway on East Morrison street between East Seventh and East Ninth was ordered by City Engineer Elliott yesterday, and the work will be taken In hand at once, as there is great need for the repairs. This trouble and expense has all been brought on the city by the action of Engineer El liott, who made an examination Into the condition of the roadway "Wednesday. His experience with old bridges might have taught him better by this time, but noth ing would do him except to rip up the flooring and use an auger on the timbers sustaining it. He found over a dozen caps as rotten as pears, and a lot of de cayed stringers, and there was nothing to do but go to work and make repairs. As the cars of the City & Suburban Company run across this bridge, and one of them jumped off It at the point mentioned some time ago, Mr. Elliott believes that the company will take a hand In making the repairs and will share the expense. Visits His Old Home. J. H. Penn, who used to be in business on the corner where the Perkins Hotel now stands, 20 years ago, but who for the last 16 years has been carrying the United States mail across tHe Coast Range to Yaqulna, is in the city. Carrying mail across the rugged Coast Range is evidently healthy work, as Mr. Penn, after 14 years of it, looks as young as he did 20 years ago, and although he Is now 65 years of age, he has not a gray hair in his raven locks or mustache. He lives In Yaqulna, and is a chicken fancier in his leisure moments, and has already taken three prizes on chickens ho has on exhibition at the poultry snow here, and has several coops yet to hear from. The ozone in the air at Yaqulna is healthy for chickens as well as for men. and if it would only make them produce plenty of eggs at this season they would soon make their owners wealthy. Snow Beautiful When Distant. The news from Eastern Oregon In regard to the snow being four, five and several feet In depth In various places there Is sub stantiated by the sight of the snow which is running over the Cascade Range and whitening the high levels along the Col umbia. The old Indians and stockmen, who are looking for severe weather there. must be hard to please. From Portland the appearance of the snow is beautiful. and would be still more so If the snow were farther away. In this case distance lends encnantment to the view. New "Water Main for Albina. The Water Committee is laying the new main on Commercial street, between Morris and Shaver, which is to aid in enlarging the water supply of Upper Albina, and as soon as the pipe is delivered for the main on Morris street it will be laid. The resi dents of that region have not been com plaining of any scarcity of water lately, but the committee is anxious to get things arranged for furnishing an adequate sup ply, before there Is any more reason for complaint. Seeks New Route to Old Place. A rather wicked-looking man, who was pe rusing the morning -paper yesterday, was much interested In a paragraph entitled, "To Hell in a Pullman." He said he had not known that Pullmans had been put on the Downward line of railroad, but he was glad of it, and was anxious to get a folder, with the name of the stations on the road, times of arrival and departure of trains, etc. Ho would like to meet a man who has been over the road both ways. Saloonkeeper Fined. Ed Hunter, sa loonkeeper, pleaded guilty yesterday in the Municipal Court to a charge of keep ing open his saloon after 1 o'clock A. M. Evidence was furnished by Policeman Barter, and Hunter was fined $25. Fined for Breaking Game Law. L. Li. Schumann was fined $50 yesterday by Mu nicipal Judge Hogue, charged with violat ing the game law by shipping China pheasants as fruit, to California. The fine was paid. Auction of remainder of fancy goods to night at St Lawrence Hall, Third and Sherman. At Y. M. C. A. Tonight, star-course number. The four remaining numbers, ?L Picture Men Charged With Larceny. Simon Schlpp and Nathan Schipp, rep resenting the Waldorf Art Company, 405 Morrison, street, who were recently1 ar rested charged with the larceny by bailee of a picture, the property of Lawyer Peter 1L Ward, had a hearing yesterday In the Municipal Court, and after evi dence had been heard they were allowed to go on their promising to leave town, as the complainant did not wish to prose cute. It was shown that one of the de fendants called at Lawyer Ward's house In his absence and ecelved a photograph of the late Mrs. Ward. They promised to enlarge the photograph, but when It be came apparent that the enlargement would not be satisfactory, a demand was made for the return of the original pho tograph, by Lawyer Ward and his son. This was refused by the defendants, and their arrest followed. The photograph was then given to the Chief of Police, who turned it over to its owner. Munici pal Judge Hogue warned the defendants that they must not become embroiled In similar trouble. "Three or four people have called at our office, making com plaints against the defendants, because the latter refused to return original pho tographs which they had received on loan from the owners," remarked Deputy Dis trict Attorney. Gatens. As the defendants passed out, one of them said that the headquarters of the art concern Is at Seattle. Street-Cars Collide. A collision be tween two cars at the Intersection of Third and Washington streets yesterday morning attracted a great crowd, though no one was hurt nor any damage pf con sequence done. A car of the Portland Street Railway Company coming clown Washington street and a car of the City & Suburban Railway Company going down Third street approached the Inter section at the same time. A woman wait ing to get aboard the City & Suburban car, fearing It would not stop, endeavored to climb on the front platform while the car was In motion. The motorman was so scared for fear that she would fall off and get under the wheels that he failed to put down his brakes In time, and his car. ran against the side of the Washington street car and pushed It off the track. The fact that a woman was in danger created a great excitement, but the worst outcome of the accident was the trouble of getting' the derailed car back on the track again. Motormen often get blamed for accidents for which "the other party" Is responsible, but they should never lose their nerve. Mistletoe And Holly in Demand. The carload of mistletoe boughs sent in from Southern Oregon has all disappeared be fore the home demand has been supplied. Orders have been received from all parts of the Northwest for the enchanted para sitic plant, and there was trouble to fill the last ones. Another carload of the mistletoe will arrive here In a day or two, so no young woman in Portland need de spair of being able to get caught under a spray of It, nor of being properly kissed when she is so caught, for Portland men, young and old, are well Informed of the privileges conferred by the proximity of the bewitched mistletoe. The supply of holly, with glassy, prickly leaves and plenty of red berries, Is far behind the demand, and fine sprays will command a good price. As the holly is a tree of slow growth, some young man might do well by planting a long hedge of it now to furnish sprays to the people of 20 years hence, who will have to pay large prices for It Transients at Poor Farm. The County Poor Farm has been Well patronized bj transient guests of late. During the month of November there were 47 arrivals and 31 departures, so that the number of inmates was increased 1G( and at last report ag gregated 147, which comes within 13 of the highest number of boarders on record. A large proportion of these are not resi dents of this county nor men of families and settled habits, but belong to the class known as floaters, who roam about the country year after year, and usually at the beginning of Winter manage to be taken sick, and so have -to be taken care j of at the public expense. The best traits these fellows have are that they are eas ily satisfied with their accommodations, and their habit of moving on as soon as their health and the weather will permit them to travel. Smelt Become More Plentiful. Col umbia River smelt are beginning to be more plentiful in the market, the dally re ceipts now being about 150 pounds. This is better than when the first three pounds arrived, as the result of two nights' work, but the demand for the delicious little fish Is so great that they still bring 20 cents per pound, or at best three pounds for 50 cents. There is no other fish which comes to this market which can hold the price so high for so long, and none of which such vast quantities are sent in per day when the run Is at its best. The smelt, the salmon and the shad of the Columbia have no equals elsewhere. Oregon City Swells the Fund. Ore gon City, the factory town, pauses long enough from Its busy turning of spindles andfwhlr of machinery to raise its patriot ic voice above the roar of the falls of the Willamette and contribute $37 50 to the Admiral Clark testimonial fund. Secre tary Mitchell says that small favors, and others In proportion, still count as much as when the fund was not In sudh flour ishing condition as at present, and are re ceived with due thanks. Only two or three towns in the state yet remain in the back groundAstoria and Baker City. The Dalles comes forward with encouraging promises. Death of Henry Buchner. Henry Buchner, a German, 56 years old, who lived at the St. Paul House, on North Third street, died while sitting In a chair In Jacob Kober's saloon at 60 North Third street, Wednesday night. He had suffered from consumption for some time, and re turned recently from St. Martin's Springs, where he had gone for -his health. Buch ner had lived In Portland for four years, and some time ago received an Inheritance of $S00 from Germany, which he spent freely around the saloons. As the de ceased had been under the care of a phy sician, no Inquest was necessary. East Portland water consumers are hereby notified that, In order to connect the mile of new 20-Inch water pipe on Marguerite avenue and East Thirty-fifth street, the water will be shut off In East Portland tonight at 7 o'clock and turned on again as soon as possible, probably by midnight. West Portland and Albina will not be affected. Frank T. Dodge, Super intendent City Waterworks. To Try Fred Lyon. Fred Lyon, charged with having opium In his possession, and Si Guay, charged with conducting an opium joint, will be tried this morning at 10 o'clock, before a Jury, In the Municipal Court. An effort was made to impanel a Jury of six yesterday, but several of the jurors were excused, and others pleaded exemption. News of Henry Yost. Henry Yost, the Doy wno nas oen missing from his home In Portland since last Saturday, Is in Oregon City. The boy went directly from his home to that town and got work on a scow hauling wood to the paper mills. - Charged .With Breaking Windows.

Several old ma ple shade trees, two feet or more in diam eter, which have long stood on Fifth, street opposite the Courthouse, were cut down yesterday. The gnarled and contort ed roots made a huge block to grub out and contained more wood ihan the trunk of the tree. Many passers stopped to look at the old trees and at four large locusts on a lot on the corner near, which gavo an Idea oT how much shade trees were valued In early days. The locusts are about 15 Inches In diameter, and are set back In the lot some 10 or 12 feet crowd ing the house over so near against the lot line that the ends of the roof of a little L project over the next lot, while there is a strip of vacant land around the outer edges of the lot The fun of It all Is that the large locusts are no good to the house and never gave it or ;Its Inmates any shade, but they are shade trees, all the same. They will probably disappear very soon, and will make a lot of good stove wood. Ahead of Chicago in One Respect. Portland Is not as large a city as Chicago, but cement sidewalk contractors here are evidently ahead of those In Chicago, judg ing from the following, "wiilch Is from the Chicago Tribune: "Now, if the contrac tors who lay concrete walks would only stamp the names of the streets Into the cement (as they stamp their firm name and the date of the laying) at the street intersections, what a remarkably conveni ent, Inexpensive and durable way It would be of naming the streets, so that people could see where they were without an ef fort" Contractors here have been doing this for some time, and in cases of old residence property, also stamp the name of the owner on the walk. Fault Is oc casionally found because there Is nothing stampedon the sidewalk of one street to give an Idea where other streets are to be found, and It may be that before long a street directory will be necessary at every street corner. Newell Wants Recommendations. Writing to President Devers. of the Ore gon Irrigation Association, F. H. Newell, chief hydrographer of the Geological Sur vey, says: "From the copies of The Ore gonian recently received I have learned many of the details concerning the recent Irrigation meeting In Portland. I have also talked with Mr. Charles H. Fitch, who has just returned from the Pacific Coast I am very glad to know that the meeting passed off so well and that the people of Oregon have had an opportunity to discuss the irrigation situation. We will do all In our power to meet their wishes, and hope to begin active work In Oregon In the Spring, presumably taking up first the projects which are recommended by your people."

The Portland Lodge of Elks tendered Norman Howard Bartlett a reception at the reg ular lodge meeting In the Elks' Hall last night Many of the Elks who heard Mr. Bartlett deliver his address at the memorial-services last Sunday did not have the chance of meeting him personally, and the reception was consequently arranged. No Initiations took place, and the evening was given up .to a general good time. Mr. Bartlett made a short talk to the assem bled lodgemen on the work of the order, and all present enjoyed the presence of the lecturer. Two Missing People. Letters were re ceived by the police yesterday concerning two missing people William McGInlty, of Denver, Colo., whose aged mother wishes to find his address, and who thinks he works In this city; also Lou Fairchlld, of Duluth, Minn., supposed to be working ior an electric concern or street-car com pany, in mis city, racoma, Seattle or Everett Falrchlld's mother Is worried over his continued silence.

John Fahey and John Hill started on the warpath yesterday morning, shortly after 6 o clock, and after beating several per sons over the head with their umbrellas. as they made a sort of triumphal march from whitechapel to the Cactus saloon. they were arrested by Policeman Hoge boom and Patrol Driver Johnson. Hpge- Doom saw tne men s conduct as they in terierea wun innocent passers-by on Washington street and hurried after them, but in the interval they got Into the Cactus saloon, where, it Is charged. one or the other of them assaulted an elderly man, who would not give his name, and struck him until the blood came. It was then that their arrest fol lowed. Fahey said at first that Johnson could not arrest him, but after he had had a sample of the policeman's muscle he walked very willingly to the police station. The defendants were nftrwnrr" released on depositing $23 ball each for their appearance before Municipal Judge Hogue tomorrow. The charge against them is "drunk and disorderly," as their victim will probably be afraid to appear against them. Arrested for Theft in Sacramento. George H.

After the robbery was reported to the police, circulars were sent to the Port land police authorities giving a descrip tion of Starr, and when he arrived In this city about two weeks ago he was seen by the detectives, but managed to disappear for the time being. He ventured on Sec ond street last night, however, but was recognized and arrested. At first he in sisted that the detectives had made a mis take, and stated that his name is Gordon. I showing a. card belonging to. the Order of Eagles and made out In that name. At the police station he broke down, and said to an Oregonian man: "I'm up against it, and I may as well admit that I robbed me eaie in mo reaiuuram. at oacramento. where I was employed. I knew the day combination. The money didn't last long, as I traveled nearly all the time. I've been East." TODAY OR TOMORROW. Here' Hot Talk.
