Dairymen Fail in Commission Busi ness. a dairyman -was yesterday asking a commission man what went wrong with another dairyman, who opened a place In town for the purpose of selling his own butter, and so saving the commission. "His butter was all right." said the com mlsslonman, "as good as any on the mar ket, but. in order to push his business, he lowered the price 5 cents, and so his product was rated as second class at once, and the demand fell off, and he had to go out of business. Buyers are not used to seeing the, price of first-class goods cut below the market rate, and Imagined there must be something wrong with his butter. The commission man said that he handled a great deal of -cheese for a mak er, and first-class cheese, too. A few days ago this maker came in Just as he was taking an order from a shipper for a large lot. He said to the shipper: "I have tried to deal with you -direct several times, and would have been willing to divide the commission saved with you, tout, could never make a sale to you, how Is this?" "Well," said the shipper, "your business is to make cheese, and you don't know how to pack it. When I buy a big lot of cheese to be shipped abroad, I want It packed in a peculiar way and properly marked. The commission man knows how to do this, and you do not; therefore, I prefer to deal with him. He has to make i a living as well as you. and every one to I his own business, as the man said who peddled mouse traps." Farmers who. In addition to running their farms or dairies, undertake to do a commission business seldom make a success of It. Their own business requires all their time and at tention to produce the best results, and they cannot carry on successfully two classes of business, one in the country and one In town. Built Factory jn Spitb or Strike. Operations of the American Tin Can Com pany, which is building a factory at the lower end of town on the river front, which is to cover a space about 300 feet square, are not .interfered with in any way by the strike. A large part of the lower story Is up, and work on the second story is going right ahead. The company has no troubfj in getting all the lumber it wants or all the men needed . It has a good superintendent and a good class of men employed, both bridge and house car penters, and there are dozens of men ready to go to work when wanted. The unions have nothing against the comp pany. The men who constructed the foundation, which is on piling, were bridge carpenters, and they are entitled to go ahead and complete the upper struc ture, and can take In as many house car penters on this work as they want. They have men belonging to" both unions on the work. Such Is the statement of one of the men employed on the work, from which it appears that there are ways of securing lumber and workmen if one only knows how. Freak Robin Returns. The superin tendent of Lone Fir cemetery reports that a robin peculiarly marked or spotted with white feathers, which nested In the cemotery last year, has returned and has built a nest near where it had one last year. It is the general opinion that many robins return to their old haunts year aft- er year to nest, but, as no one knows how long robins live, and all robins, llko all coons, look alike to most people, there is no way of telling whether the robins nesting on one's grounds year after year are the same ones or not. From the ac tions of some of them, which appear to have no fear of children or dogs who have been kind to them or other robins, many are certain that the same birds re turn to the same place year after year. As the bird at the cemetery Is peculiarly marked, the superintendent proposes to keep a tab on It and see how many years It comes back. Many who have pet robins on their places will be glad to learn the result. To Clean Up Slabwood Rubbish. And now the Civic Improvement Association Is looking after the men who deliver slab wood and leave piles of bark and splint ers all over town. It is a wonder that they have not been attended to before, for. although slabwood may be one of the necessaries of life. It Is not necessary for those who deliver it to leave a pile of rubbish behind each load. Special Officer Caswell Is now attending to this matter, and has given orders that drivers of slabwood wagons to throw rubbish down Into basements after their wood. All the Blabwood does not go Into basements, however, but It always leaves a lot of rubbish after It. so it will probably be necessary when Summer comes to make the drivers clean up the rubbish and sweep up the sawdust from their wagons and carry It back to the mills In their wagons. Will 1ot Start Sash and Door Fac tory. It was rumored on the street yes terday that, on account of the mlllmen refusing to sell doors and sashes to deal ers In glass, W. P. Fuller & Co. had pur chased a piece of property on the river front, at the lower end of town, and were going to build a sash and- door factory thereon. A representative of Fuller & Co., on being asked for Information on this matter, said that they were thinking of buying the property mentioned, which is owned by Pierce Mays, but they had not bought it yet. They did not want it for a site for a sash and door factory, he said, and he was not prepared to say what they did want It for. He added. "The firm have a sash and door factory' at Rainier, down the Columbia, but the output Is not for city trade." Baseball. Baseball Today. 8:30. Professional Baseball Today, 3:30.

The manner in which the work is artfully concealed shows that this mischief-maker thorough ly understands his business and renders it very difficult to locate the little piece of wire which causes the trouble Mr. Hayes Is willing to reward any one who will give him a clew to the lll-advlsed person who Is causing him so much an-, noyancc If all decent people will make a note of any one they see tampering with call boiea or wires and report to him the rascal will soon be detected and properly punished, which will be a benefit to the entire community. Depraved Chinaman at Work. The wretched wreck of a depraved Chinaman was at work most of the day yesterday, dllllgently cutting grass along the curb of the sidewalk at the south end of the County Court-House. He Is an Inmate of the County Jail the greater part of the time. As he Is always In for stealing an ax he never steals anything else he Is known to the jail force as "Axle," and can sit on his heels and pull at a cigarette snipe and cut grass all day long, and say nothing to any one. He Is about on a par with the white morphine fiends who make their home in the Jail most of the time, and are useful only to lead dogs around in a leash for exercise for the dogs. Strawberry Season Late. A citizen who arrived home from the East yester day Is of opinion that the season is very late here, a month behind, at least. He says that at St Paul strawberries were brought on board the train to sell at 10 cents a basket and very fine ones, while here he finds them 23 cents a basket and green vegetables of all kinds very scarce. He had an idea that the starwberries he saw at St Paul were raised in the neigh borhood of that city, but this is probably a mistake, as they doubtless came from far down South. When Oregon strawber ries are a month later than In the country around St Paul, the season here must be a late one. Mascot for Fire Department. Yes terday Fire Chief Campbell presented t silver badge of the Portland Fire Depart ment to Edward S. Sawyer, the son of a well-known newspaper man. The badge Is a fine piece of the silversmith's handi work, the front being inscribed" with the letters "P. P. F. D." and the word "Mas cot" On the reverse side Is the lad's name, Edward Stewart Sawyer. The young man is very, proud of his new dis tinction, and announces that when he reaches the requisite age he will be candidate for a sure-enough place In the department The occasion of the present' ation was young Sawyer's birthday. W. A. Thompson Under Bonds. W. A. Thompson was arraigned In the Municipal Court yesterday morning, charged with threatening to kill his sweetheart Myrtle Smalley, because she was the recipient of attentions from other young men. On several occasions Thompson has threat ened to kill himself, but this proving in effectual, he decided to kill Miss Smalley instead. The young woman was not ready to die as yet and made complaint to the authorities of Thompson's actions. He was bound over In ?1000 bonds to keep tho peace, and will have to answer to a high er court for his words. Landslide Kills Four Horses. At UfSO Wednesday night a bam belonging to James Fralney, located one mile west of the Gambrlnus brewery, "was precipi tated a distance of 150 feet down a steep embankment by a landslide and four val uable horses were killed. William Miller, a hostler, who was asleep In the barn at the time, was burled in a mass of debris at the bottom of the slide, but miracu lously escaped injury. Recent rains had softened the earth under the barn and permitted its supports to slip out irom under it The total loss will reach $1800. Delivering Pipe on East Side. The Oregon Iron & Steel Company has com menced delivering 16-lnch pipe at Holla day and East Sixteenths streets for fur ther extension of the main running down Division street which supplies the East Side with water. This extension will In crease the water supply of Alblna very materially. Three carloads of the pipe are on the ground, and the work of lay ing it will be commenced at once. Tho extension will reach the Junction of Union avenue and Hancock street where it will connect with mains already laid. Small Fire in Furniture Factory. A small blaze occurred Just before noon yes terday in the upholstery department of the Peters & Roberts furniture factory. at 55 Front street North. No alarm was turned In, the employes succeeding In get ting the fire out without calling upon the department The fire occurred In the room In which a shoddy mm is run. ana it is supposed a button was fed into the machine with a mass of rags and that sparks caused by the friction set the in flammable material on fire. The loss- was under $100. To Pay Teachers Today.

It Is a welcome ehanee to attend such a clean, sparkling comedy of fun as John C. Rice and Thomas A. Wise In "Are iou Mason r' presented last night at the Marauam to a fair audience, after a sea son of highly seasoned emotlonal-ploblem plays wnere one woman is in continual trouble because she has fallen in love with another's woman's husband. Are You a Mason?" is bubbling over with fun. and is adapted from the German of Laufs and Kratz by Leo Dltrlchsteln. the pop ular author of "The Last Appeal' and AH on Account of Eliza." It has played to big business for two seasons, and now visits the Pacific Coast for the first time. Recently It was a winner at San Fran cisco, where It played to $S000 In one week. Strange to say, there is neither a song nor a dance in it The language used is clean as snow. John C. Rice has been seen here before with May Irwin, and his face is familiar as that of the man in the famous kissing scene with May Irwin a scene which has been. Illustrated at blograph shows, and has caused mer riment all over the country. "Are You a Mason?" has a cast of 14 people, and, as no heavy scenery is car ried or expensive speeialtles, the man agers can afford to surround themselves with first-class talent as they have done. The comedy opens with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pern, of New York, a newly mar rled couple, expecting a visit from Mrs. Perry's parents. Perry (John C Rice) is alarmed because, to cover his visits down town to see a man late at night, he told his wife that he had become a member jt the Masonic fraternity, and he has been told that his father-in-law, Amos Blood- good (Thomas A. Wise), Is also a Mason. But it so haonens that Bloodgood is also a bogus Mason, to serve as an excuse for his remaining out nights playing poker. When Perry and Bloodgood meet each is afraid of the other, and the effect is lu dicrous. To add to the complications, George Fisher, excellently played by Edward Abeles, Is persuaded to disguise himself as a cloak model from Madam Jollvet's, and to eay that he really Is Bloodgood's only daughter by his divorced wife, An gellna. Mr. Abeles does his part with consummate skill, especially In tho scene where he poses as an expert on the sub Jeot of women's clothes. Amy Muller, aa Mrs. Perry, and Margaret Evans and Hazel Chappie, as Amos Bloodgood's un married daughters, acted admirably. Of course, Mr. Rice and Mr. Wise were the whole show In the laughter-making de partment and they acted with that na turalness and ability that comes with long years of experience "Are You a Masonr Is certainly worth seeing, and will be the attraction at the Marquam this and tomorrow evening and tomorrow afternoon. Taey Like "Prince Otte." Crowded houses are. the rule at the Baker Theater these days, where Ralph Stuart ahdnls company are producing the charming romantic drama. "Prince Otto." The matinee Saturday promises to be the largest In the history of the theater. SENATOR TO GO ON STUMP C. W. Faltea "Will Speak for Her mann la First District. Senator C. w. Fulton will go on the slump In aid of Hermann, the Republican candidate- for Congress In the First. Dis trict. He gave out this announcement last night -shall take up this work after the President's visit here," said the Senator', "and shall engage in the Cam paign durinff the week preceding the election." The Senator was .asked on what Isewes he would speak, and replied: "On Na tional Issues I shall appeal to the voters of the First District to uphold the Repub lican Administration by sending a Repub lican and not a Democrat to Congress. The Republican party has certainly dem onstrated that it deserves the confidence of the country. It has brought a full measure Of prosperity, and I believe that the people desire to continue that pros perity and to let well enough alone. "I do not think that the country needs tariff revision at this time. I cannot see anything In the business conditions to warrant changes In the tariff right now. I believe that the Industries of the coun try never have been under a fuller sail than they are at present-1 do not see how disturbances in the tariff could bring more prosperity. We may desire at some future time to alter the tariff; in fact If we wero making a tariff now we might have it different In some respects than tho tariff now In force. This does not. however. Invalidate my argument that we should let well enough alone. "As to trusts, I think that the Repub lican policy as to them is defined to the satisfaction of the Nation. President Roosevelt has defined it In his recent speeches. The decision of the Court of Appeals in the case of tho Northern Se curitles Company shows that the Nation has effective legislation for controlling trusts. That legislation was enacted by a Republican Congress. It gives to the government a potent weapon against the trusts. Senator Fulton will return to Astoria tonight ELKS' LODGE TO BUILD.

Parlors, 127 6th, adjoining Oregonlan Bldg. Vigor and vitality ere quickly given to the whole lystera by Hood's SarsaparlUfc, Amateur Stagre "Esmeralda," The quaint old play of "Esmeralda," written by Mrs. Frances Hodgson Bur nett tvas played at Arion Hall last night by a clever company of amateurs, the young people of St Stephens' choir. The scenes of the play are laid in the cabin home of the Rogers family, in the Isorth Carolina mountains, and in Paris, A valuable mine is discovered on the farm of old man Rogers, or, rather, on the land of Esmeralda's lover, Dave Hardy, as it afterwards turns out, and the Rogers family goes to Europe, where It Is fol lowed by Dave. Esmeralda's mother strangely objects to Dave's suit, on ac count of his poverty, but the kind old father Is In sympathy with the young people, for, as ho says, ''Esmeraldy and me, we re alike; mother, she am t alike." In the last act the fact develops that the wealth In North Carolina Is Dave's, and mother's objections are, of course. happily overruled. J. P. Inglls, as old man Rogers, did an excellent character sketch of a mountain farmer, and his shrewlah wife, Lydla Ann, was well played by Miss Paulina Turner. Miss Cornelia Wilson was a very sweet Esmeralda, and looked qulto as pretty in a gingham apron and sun- bonnet as she did in tho white and blue embroidered gown worn in the ballroom scene. Miss Kate Ramsdell and Miss Prudence Hageny were the two charming sisters- of Jack Desmond, a young Amer ican artist In Paris, whose part was played in an attractive manner by Bernard Turner. Miss Muriel Weathertion had the part of Celeste, the maid, and looked ex tremely chic In her cap and frilled white apron. Herman Grimes, as Dave Hardy, read his lines admirably. The Marquis de Montessln, a French adventurer, was the picturesque villain of the play, and was well represented by Leland Smith. Estabrook, a man of leisure, and George Drew, an American speculator, were played satisfactorily by Alan Weatherdon and Herman Thompson. Six-Storr Structure to Be Erected at Coat of 9100,000. The Elks' Lodge, at an enthusiastic meeting last night decided to erect a slx- atory building on Its 100x100 lot at Seventh and Stark streets. The cost will be 5100.000. and plana will bo drawn up immediately for one of tho handsomest structures In the city. The building will be the .home of the lodge, with a hall ahd anterooms suf ficiently largo to accommodate the present membership of 950 and the future acces sions for years to come. At last night s meeting over -WO members were present and the building project was received with enthusiasm. The Elks expressed their confidence that such a building would be not only a credit to the city. but would also be a good Investment as the floors not used for lodgerooms will be rented for business purposes. Several prominent members made speeches In which was set forth the need of a modern home for the juks in iso, when thousands of -visitors would pour into the city, and also commenting upon the great demand that exists in Portland at the present time for modern and well constructed business blocks. The finances of tho lodge were found to be In a flour lshlng condition. The site, which cost about $25,000, has been fully paid for, and the treasury is comfortably off for funds. Much of the money that was put Into the site was realized from two Elks' Carnl vals successfully conducted by the lodge, and It was the consensus of opinion that the funds could be expended In no bet ter way than to erect a structure that would reflect credit upon the public spirit of the members. After a thorough discussion the follow ing building committee was appointed to have charge of the project: George H. Chamberlain. D. Soils Cohen, John La mont Ralph W. Hoyt, Alex Sweek, E. W. Rowe, M. J. Malley and W. J. Rlloy. MAY DAY FLOWER SALE. The Larsrcst Collection of BIoTomlnic Plants Ever SnoiTa on Front St. Mann, The Seedman, is always enter prising.
