MARQUAM GRAND THEATER Tonight at 8:15 o'clock, Mr. Robert Downing In "The Gladiator." THE BAKER THEATER Nelll Stock Com pany In "Charity Ball." CORDRAT'S THEATER This evening at 8:15. Mr. Wlllard Slmms in "Pickings From Puck." No Shortage op Logs. On account of Inman, Poulsen & Co. being obliged to shut down their mill for a day or two lately, some imagined that there was a. scarcity of logs. The trouble was caused by the freshet in the Willamette. The current was terrific for a while, and ren dered it impossible to get rafts of logs above the bridges. Loggers are working away as usual, and the supply of logs is going to hold out better than some imag ine, as the price now paid for logs in duces loggers to put more in the water than they otherwise would, so that, while logs are not so plentiful as usual, there is nothing like a famine yet. It Is prob able that some of the mill3 will have to give up running at nights after a while, but there is talk of new logging camps being opened in three or four different places, both in green and burnt timber. How many of these camps will . be really opened it is impossible to say, but the prospects are that within IS months logs will be plentifuL It will take a whole year and a lot of money to open some of the camps spoken of. The small streams havo all had good freshets and good drives, and there is a whole lot of fresh water logs now available, which Is help ing out the mills now wonderfully. Gloomy Dat Grows Pleasant. The morning of yesterday dawned as one of the gloomiest imaginable, if it can be said to have dawned at all. when lamps were necessary in business offices until 10 o'clock. It was dark from a dense fog, through which one could not see further than a block, and the rain came down in a steady pour. There was a chilly breath of air, which seemed to portend snow, which was due to the fact that it was snowing fast at the lower Cascades. Few people were on the streets, and very few at work outdoors, and the faces of shop keepers looked as gloomy as the weather. By .noon the condition was much Im proved, and tho afternoon was quite pleasant, and the streets and stores were crowded with shoppers, completing their Christmas purchases, and all was busy, bustling and gay, as befits the holiday season. Fine Poultry in Market. The poultry-growers "rose to the occasion and yes terday sent in large supplies of the finest and fattest turkeys seen here this year, and many of the largest, some weighing about 40 pounds. There was also plenty of geese, ducks and chickens of very fine quality, and as splendid turkeys were being sold at 22 cents per pound, and orders for Seattle were being filled; it was apparent that there was to be no scarcity of poultry for Christmas, and that there was no necessity for any cold storage stock from the East. The most prominent Eastern delicacies displayed in the markets were lake whitefish, pickerel and lobsters. The person who cannot find good things enough In the market to make up a Christmas menu must be diffi cult to suit. More Planks Needed for Hood Street. The 350 planks ' contributed by the property-owners on Hood street to re pair the planking In that thoroughfare have all been laid, and it -Is now found that, "with 350 more, a very dod Job could be done, which would make Hood prac tically a new street. The question Is, wly is to contribute the additional planks. As the street is much used by teams hauling lumber from the sawmills along the river above town, it is supposed that the pro prietors of these mills will be liberal in the matter. It is a pity that the number of planks required had not been ascer tained in the start and the whole of them subscribed before the repair was begun. Duck-Hunters Have Fair Sport. Duck-hunters generally met with fair success Sunday, the day being favorable for shooting and ducks numerous. The shooting, however, was spotted, some do ing very well, while on some of the best grounds the luck was very poor, the ducks going away when the first shots were fired and not coming back. Several parties secured a number of canvasbacks, and many teal and widgeon were shot, but the wary old mallards made them selves scarce. Several fishermen went out to try their luck, as the day promised to be favorable. So.mo went down to Scap poose by rail, but none, so far as heard from, caught even a bite. Large Poplars Cut Down. Five large poplar trees, averaging about 120 feet in height, were cut down on the East Side a day or two ago. The contractor for the Job had to employ regular stringers of electric wires to climb up and saw off the lops of the trees in 25-foot sections, as they were so high, above the electric light wires. He was congratulating himself yesterday on' the slight amount of dam age done, saying that he' got oft with one broken wire, a few bricks off one chimney and a few shingles off the roof of a house. The trees stood too close to the houses to be easily removed. Mounted Pheasants Come High. A city official, who was desirous of present ing a friend in San Francisco with a pair of mounted Mongolian pheasants, had to pay $10 for the pair, a cock and a hen. They were very fine specimens, but he found that there were fancy specimens for which the price was $7 each. He says it would be a good thing if the birds could be shot already stuffed, as the skins with the birds in them are only worth $1 50 per pair. The question is whether it is more work to skin and stuff the birds than to hunt them up and shoot them. Chinese Accuses Fred Love. Lee Gltt, who conducts a restaurant on Davis street, near Third, says that, while he was engaged cooking a meal early yester day morning at his place of business, Fred Love, formerly a saloonkeeper at Fifth and Stark streets, sneaked up to the cash drawer and stole about $5 in small change and" left. The police were notified, and Love was arrested last night at Third and Couch streets by Detective "Welner and Policeman Koberts. Football! Football!

The Christmas number !of the Evening Telegram was issued . yesterday afternoon and distributed to city- sub scribers. In many ways it Is a marvel of the printer art The color section has an emblematic design in red and black covering the entire first page. The red is particularly noticeable as being brilliant in an extraordinary degree. There follow excellent halftones of raining camps and interesting scenes all over Oregon. Among the pictures especially noticeable are those of Indian celebrities. The reading matter in the 48 pages of this Issue in cludes everything that one anxious to know about Oregon could wish. Shipping, of course, has a prominent place. The wholesale and retail business of the city is carefully described, and Oregon's mines are covered in detail. Statistics are giv en, showing the immense resources of the state in fish and game, and no little space is given to the Lwis and Clark "Fair of 1S05. The transportation facilities are thoroughly discussed, and the discovery of oil and gas in the Columbia River basin is written up for Investors. Jailed fob Having Opium. John Ryan and Chester Mason, charged with Illegal ly having opium in their possession, were before Municipal Judge Hogue yesterday, and, on the evidence of an expert It was shown that the queer-looking black pills found In their possession contained opium. Ryan was sentenced to 60 days in Jail. Mason was sentenced to 40 days. "Forty days in Jail?" echoed Mason. "Judge, call it 30 days, and it's a go. I'll plead guilty. If you'll make it 30 days." "Forty days," repeated the Judge, smil ing. "All right," said Mason. "Ten more days in Jail suits me." Easterner Pleased With Oregon. C. H. McClure, who came here from Brown County, Nebraska, about a year ago, and purchased a farm near Sher wood, is so much pleased with tho place that he has brought specimens of his first crop of potatoes and turnips to tho Per manent Exhibit on Washington street. These specimens are very fine, and must have been raised on good ground, so Mr. McClure is Justified in thinking well of his farm. He wants others to see what can be done the first year In Oregon, in hope that more settlers will be attracted. Fined for Riding Without Lamp. "I've only had a bicycle three months," pleaded Peter Miller, at the Municipal Court yesterday, when asked what he had to say with reference to a charge that he had failed to display a lighted lamp on his wheel. "I didn't know tho law in this city," he went on. He was fined $4, and, as he did not have the mon ey, the police are holding the wheel until the money is paid. Licenses Due. Statements of the li censes due from people under the occu pation tax ordinance have" been served by the City Auditor, and must be returned by January 10.

The body of Andrew White, the convicted murderer of Peter Beauchene, and who died at the State Penitentiary Saturday, was cremated at the Portland Cremator ium yesterday afternoon.

Downing Hermla Miss Undine Grlgsby Portia Miss Rachel McClcllan Ziygla Miss Ethel Barnett Faustina Miss Elsa. Van Braham Mr. Robert .DownIngs production of "The Gladiator." at the Marquam last evening, was picturesque and beautiful. Every one of the scenes of the five acts of the play is worth .seeing. They are pictures flawless in composition, color and attention to detail. Some of the scenes are reproductions of famous masterpieces, and all show careful study of the cos tumes and architecture of ancient Rome. Mr. Downing acquired years ago the ex clusive right to play Saumet's splendid tragedy, and has appeared in the charac ter of Nero the Gladiator more than 3000 times. It will be remembered that the unfortu nate McCulIough was the first to produce the piece, and starred in it for years, and up to the time he was compelled to quit the Btage, a maniac Mr. Downing has visited Portland sev eral times, and his qualities as a trage dian are well known. In the arena scene especially last evening he was excellent and was repeatedly called to the curtain. His voice and his, magnificent physique well adapt him to the part In setae slight respects his company Is not quite up to that of previous years, but the audience last evening undoubtedly was well satis fled, applause being frequent and hearty, Mr. Louis Benlson as the Christian ex porter handles his strong lines with, a fine" feeling for their dramac quality. Miss Minnie Downing, as Neodomla, .and Miss Elsa Van Braham, as Faustina, have the two Important woman parts. Both do some pralaeworfhy work, but the enuncia tion of each is somewnat at fault, mak ing "them at times difficult to follow. Mr. Slevln, as Flavian, was not very impres sive. The play will be given again tonight only. "IAGARA" WEIRD TALE. An Indian Legend of Niagara Falls. The celebrated American artist, Charles A. de Lisle Holland, has displayed a re markable knowledge of Indian folk lore in his treatment of a tragedy which in our forefathers' time was annually enacted at Niagara Falls. In "lagara" Do Lisle Holland has given to the art world a priceless painting, an everlasting monu ment to American genius, a nude study that rivals the Old World masters. This remarkable painting, covering a canvas 9x12 feet, now on exhibition at 144 Sixth street represents a beautiful nude Indian maiden going over Niagara Falls, a sac rifice to the Great Spirit of. the red man. According to the tradition, lagara was the last maiden so sacrificed, as her heart broken father, an aged chief, immediately after the sacrifice, destroyed himself also by plunging over the falls, and from that day the custom was abandoned.
