Skylarks Seen in Their Ovd Haunts.
Mention waa made a few daya ago of the
skylarks having returned to one of their
favorite haunts near the eastern boundary
of tiie city- Their arrival was reported
Tjy a resident near Judge H. llallory's
place, who had been watching all the
Spring for them and was rejoiced to hear
their sweet notes from high in the air.
The notice attracted the attention of
many friends of birds, who had begun to
fear that the larks had deserted their
haunts in this city. As showing how diffi
cult It Is to get things right it may be
noted that Rev. C EL Cllne called atten
tion to the notice and said he thought It
must be Incorrect, as he had been watch
ing for larks in the L-add. tract on Haw
thorne avenue and had not seen any. The
next to be heard from was E. S. L-add,
who lives near the Ladd tract, who stated
that skylarks had been singing there for
some time, and that he and his wife had
been making observations of these im
ported birds for several years, and had
come to the conclusion that they are not
migratory, as he Is certain he has seen
them about the Ladd tract all Winter
long. Difference of opinion In regard to
these birds and their habits doubtless
aroee from the fact that they are not con
spicuous when on the ground, and as they
Blng only when soaring high In the air,
almost out of sight, they are noticed by
few except when singing and then appear
only as a speck in the sky. The larks do
not elng In the "Winter and so might be
about the Ladd tract or other haunts
without being noticed except by the few
who were able to recognize them. Whether
- the larks are migratory or not Is a matter
of no particular Importance, but It Is very"
desirable that they be protected from bad
boys who by harrying their nests might
drive them away from their haunts.

Rose Season Backward. The display
of roses in the floral decorations today
"will fall far short of what. Is usual on
Memorial day owing to the backward sea
son, as Winter has been lingering in the
lap of Spring till both must desire to be
widely separated. While there are a good
many roses about town, the greater num
ber of them are climbers and in the
gardens of some of the most extensive
rose growers but few are to be seen, and
among them very few of the large and
fine, hybrids which will not be In bloom for
ten days or so. People who two weeks
hence would furnish a wagon load of roses
for decorations now will have to strip
their gardens of the few blooms they have
bo long and patiently waited for. Even
then the few roses obtained will add but
little to the display.
Medcal Society Meeting. The County
and City Medical Society, of Portland,
held an enthusiastic meeting Wednesday
evening at the PorUand Hotel and elected
officers for the ensuing year. Steps were
also taken for the maintenance of a med
ical library. The officers chosen are as
follows: President, R. L. Gillespie; vice
president, R. C. Coffee; secretary. A. D.
Mackenzie and treasurer, A. E. Mackay.
The society has about 120 members and
these hav from time to time collected
a. good llb-ary. and, with this as a
nucleus, a forger one will be collected. In
time the society hopes to have a large
working library that will be of real use
to every merober.

To Return to Their Mike. Members of
the Fort Stevens Mining Company, Includ
ing E. W. Paget and three sons of C A.
Reed, who have been spending the Winter
In Portland, are getting ready to go. back
to their mines as soon as the road Into
the mountains where It is situated is clear
of snow. They have spent four Winters
at the mine, and last Winter decided to
enjoy the pleasures of life In a civilized
community for a season. Their, mine Is
situated some ten miles from Resort Post
office. Warm Springs. Idaho. The lode Is
of great extent and contains galena as
saying from $16 to JS00 per ton. as well as
copper and Iron ore. They have a tunnel
running lengthwise of the lode 120 feet
and will extend it to 200 feet, and then
crosscut to find the walls. Then they will
begin to stope out ore as there will be
enough overhead to furnish all the galena
they want, and they will leave It to their
successors to find how far toward the
center of the earth the lode runs. C. A.
Reed has painted two views of the camp
at the mine from photos brought down by
his toons. One shows the mouth of the
tunnel and the great War Eagle Mountain
behind the range In which It Is situated
with a view of the rude clapboard house
where his boys have made their home so
long. The other presents another view
of the house and the rushing mountain
torrent of Willbw Creek, which brawls by
the door. The slght'of this stream makes
one deslro to flee to the mountains, for It
looks like a fine trout stream and Mr.
Paget says they caughttrout there when
ever they wanted any, that Is, of -course,
In the proper season, for In the Winter the
snow was 15 feet deep around their house
and thej had to climb up the chimney to
see out doors. These pictures Mr. Reed
will keep to look at until the boys have
made their fortunes out of their mine,
when they will have them framed hand
somely and hung in the art galleries of
their palatial residences.
Progress on Seventh Street. All will
be pleased to learn that the work of lay
ing the binder course for the asphalt
pavement on Seventh street, which was
completed from Stark to Alder a few. days
ago, was yesterday completed from Stark
to Burnslde and that Job is now done with.
The asphalt (as usual) Is to be laid as
soon as possible, and will probably be
started up again today if It does not rain.
As 2000 square yards are laid per day it
will not take long to finish the section
between Burnslde and Alder to connect
with the already completed section be
tween Alder and Taylor. The first-class
stone-block pavement from Burnslde to
Gllsan Included in the Improvement of
Seventh street is completed from Burn
slde to Flanders. The additional block has
been delayed on account of difficulty In
procuring the stone blocks, 'but they are
now at hand and the bfock from Flanders
to Gllsan will be completed in a week or
ten days, and then Seventh street from
Gllsan to Taylor will be the best paved
street In the city.
Press Cub Election Today. The an
nual election of the City Press Club will
be held this afternoon in the rooms In
the Marquam building. There are a large
number of candidates, and the election
promises to be very spirited. The club
has been in existence for just one year,
and the officers who will go out of office
this evening have succeeded in building
up a club of newspaper boys that would
be hard to duplicate. The new officers
will take charge this evening at the an
nual meeting. The election will be held
during the afternoon between the hours
of 3 and 5, so that all will get a chance
to drop in a ballot.

Photograph Taken Before Sunrise.
H. A. French, an amateur photographer
of the city, has a remarkable photograph
taken from the City Park before sunrise.
Mount Hood is the central subject, every
portion of the mountain showing up In
relief against the light sky. The photo
graph was made on the morning of March
G, when the sun rose directly behind the
peak. The city is seen covered with the
morning haze, through which may bo dis
cerned the tops of the Oregonlan, High
School and Chamber of Commerce build
ings. The time exposure was seven sec
onds. The picture was made with a
telephoto lens- on a 5x7 isochromatlc plate.
Death Ends His Suffering. After 11
years of patient suffering, Charles Strahm.
an old Mexican War veteran, died at St.
Vincent's Hospital last night. During his
tedious confinement at the hospital, not
once In the entire 11 years has Mr.
Strahm left his bed. He was a patient
sufferer and was loved by every one in
the hospital, who knew him as "Pappy,"
a name In which he took much delight in
calling himself. Death was due to paraly
sis. Mr. Strahm has a son In Pendleton,
and a brother In Dixie, Wash., who will
arrive here tonight.
Fighters Help Out City Treasury.
Tax Collector McEachern smiled as he
placed to the credit of the city yesterday
the $100 received as a license for the
pugilistic exhibition made by the Myster
ious and colored fighters Thursday even
ing. When he had figured up how many
hundred dollars the pugilists had received
for their display and how much of thTe $100
he had received had been contributed by
employes about the City Hall, and that
citizens had been obliged to contribute the
total receipts, the smile faded off his
countenance.
