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."

Hayes, of the Hasty Messenger Service,
complains that of late some mischievous
fellow, who has a knowledge of the work
ings of call boxes and electric wires, has
been going about town and, either in a
spirit of wanton deviltry- or malicious
mischief, has been causing him a great
deal of trouble by deftly connecting his
system of wires with the telephone wlre3
by which the telephone people have also
been much annoyed. 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 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

department The fire occurred In the
room In which a shoddy mm is run. ana
it is supposed a button was fed into the

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.

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

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.
