When asked -what had amused him, he said It was the rea son the -woman of the house had given lor leaving Oregon. The family In the house, a man and -wife and four healthy children, had come here from Iowa about four months ago, and now they had everything packed up, and were go ing back. He had asked the man If he did not like Oregon. Ho said he liked Portland very much. He had had plenty of work and good pay here, the climate suited him, his children were more healthy than ever before and enjoyed going to school; in fact, he was never so well situated or suited anywhere as here. When asked why he was leaving under such conditions, he said: "Oh, my wife Insists upon going back, and I can't per- suade her to stay." Just then the woman came down stairs with a bandbox in her hand. When she was asked why she 'wished to leave Oregon, she looked dls- gusted and said: 'Because there are no catfish here, and I want to so back to uowa, where there are plenty." The (amazed carrier remarked that there were half a dozen kinds of salmon here and plenty of trout, carp, shad and salt water fish of all kinds, but she said she liked Igood catfish better than anything else. as ehe had been brought up on them. I one was evidently the head of the fam ilythe gray mare was the better horse I of the pair and for some reason she wanted to go back to Iowa, and her (hankering for catfish was a good eonugh treason 'for her.

They would harmonize fth the sturgeon, now becoming plenti ful, and both could live on the carp, for rhlch no one cares. J T. M. C. A. Bots Encampment The annual encampment of the Young Men's Christian Association this year will be Iheld at Caecade Locks, about 300 yards from the Columbia River. The party, consisting of nearly 40 boys, will leave for the camping grounds on the steamer Bailey Oatzert tomorrow morning, and will return July 17. The camp will be in charge of Professor M. M.

The camp will be E called "Camp Cascadla," and will bo es tablished on the Washington side of the Columbia, where all the pleasures of camp life will be available.

Others A strange bird of a dingy, yellowish white ilor attracted considerable attention in le upper part of Fifth street by Its jrowess in fighting and whipping a whole lock of "bloomln British sparrows," rhlch had attacked it. The sparrow ia considered the most pugnacious of birds, id is often taken as a type of Brit isher. Those who saw this strange bird ("hipping the sparrows called out an Eng lishman who lives In the block to show ilm the American bird which could out jht his sparrows. They were a little jet back when he told them that the 3trange bird was nothing but a white Bparrow, an "albino," and that there was 10 other bird of Its size that could beat the British sparrow. He said he had seen two of these white sparrows in the "old juntry." He had also seen white black- fo"ds and a white crow, but such "sports" rxese not common. mfa in Willamette Valley Al falfa has been considered by manv an mcertaln crop in the Willamette Valley ma is supposed to be better adapted to the semi-arid regions in Eastern Oregon, ivnere irom tne great depth to which its ots penetrate.it is able to flourish and kvhere, when Irrigation is available, it jroauces tremendous crops.

"Shade Trees Yield to Houssmovino The house which William Isensee is hav ing removed from Iho corner of Eleventh and Yamhill streets to Fifth and Mont gomery has traveled off Yamhill street and a short distance up Tenth. As this street is wide and the shade trees along it do not spread their boughs to the cen ter, the building can probably be moved up it without serious damage to them, but In many places some severe trimming will have to be done. The injunction to prevent the house being moved down Yamhill from Eleventh to Tenth was not taken out until the house had reached the middle of the block, and one tree had been cut down and one side lopped from another. It was then too late, to stop the house from being moved, as It would not do to leave it blocking the street. The destruction of two broad, spreading trees on the north side of the block and the removal of the large boughs overreach ing the street from the elms on the south side bag opened up a vista, let In tho sunshine and greatly changed the ap pearance 'of the street. It Is well for shade trees that house-moving has gone so much out of style, for not only has the removal of this house affected this block as stated, but. it will change the appear ance of Tenth up to Montgomery. Al ready four large and handsome maple trees have been cut down fn front of Isensee's quarter block at Fifth and Montgomery, on which the building is to be placed. Such haste was there to pre- pare a cellar for- it that the earth was removed by scrapers and piled in a heap at the rear. A new building is to be erected on the corner of the property, but there aro no more shade trees to be re moved. Cat Will Not Come Back Again Men tion was made a few days ago of a feline terror which had escaped from a family moving back to Missouri, and had about exterminated all the other cats in Sunny side. When penned In a narrow passage between two houses by a man with a gun at one end .and his wife at the other, the fiendish brute rushed between the woman's feet and threw her violently down and escaped from under her, after, as was supposed, being flattened out as thin as a pancake. As was predicted, "The cat came back7 and the man with the gun who had heen on the lookout for the brute reports the fact, and adds: "I got him." This means "I shot him," and ho has received as many congratula tions on his good shooting as Thomas Honeyman received when he shot four bears the other day. A post-mortem ex amination of the cat showed that none of its ribs had been broken and Its body was of the usual shape, which goes to show that the cat escaped from under the woman before she struck the ground and her bruises tend to confirm this tbo ory. Now that the cat Is gone, never to come back, the only trouble, the resi dents of the neighborhood have to annoy them Is a man who, when his wife goes to church on Sunday, goes to sleep on a lounge and snores so loudly that none of his neighbors can sleep. A scheme Is be ing devised to cure him of this habit.

New Use for Eoob The people of Ore gon City may not have derived such ex tensive pleasure and amusement from the explosion of bombs, firecrackers, etc., on the Fourth as the residents of Portland did, but they had one kind of sport to Indulge In which Portland did not afford This was firing eggs at the head of a negro. Those who visited Oregon City on the Fourth had the pleasure of seeing a colored man standing with his head poked through a hole in a sheet, and a score or more of men and boys throwing eggs at it. The man was agile and un derstood his buslnes. and comparatively few of the eggs hit him. Many which struck the street were broken, which gave tho idea that they had been hard-boiled and were likely to form part of his din ner. Many may have heard or read of this sport, but few have seen it It is not very Intellectual, but about as much so as exploding firecrackers and does not so much annoy people at a distance. The colored man may have been a pugilist enjoying a soft snap. He was evidently the right man In the right place. He would probably do well If he would open a place of amusement In this city while eggs are cheap.

It received a pow erful, thrilling portrayal yesterday at two performances at Baker's Theater, and the house on each occasion was crowded. many people being turned away for lack of seats. The play 1b beautifully staged, and the applause was liberal and insist ent. Cathrine Countlss is the central figure In the drama, in her dual character of Lady Isabel, daughter of Lord Mount Severn, and Lady Isabel Carlyle, wife" of Archibald Carlyle. an English country lawyer. The part is one which has been played for many years by such stars as Clara Morris, Ada Grey, Ada Cavendish, Agnes Booth, Madamo Chanfrau, and others. Tho original dramatization was by Charles Talyeure, for Madame Chan frau, and in It she achieved an interna tional reputation. On one occasion Will lam Jennings Bryan, under an assumed name, played Sir Francis Levison, when Ada Grey was Lady Isabel, and W. M. Russell, the well-known theatrical man-' ager of this city, was Lord Mount Sev ern. Miss Countlss can stand very favor able comparison with those distinguished actresses who have preceded her. Yester day, at the opening of the play, she was the innocent, confiding, aristocratic girl, who married Mr. Carlyle, not because she devotedly loved him, but because she liked him well enough to marry him, and so escape the persecution of her aunt. She showed a lingering spark of affection for wicked Sir Francis (William Bernard), and she was the very picture of an angry. maddened, jealous wife when the tempter persuaded her that Archibald Carlyle (George AlLson) secretly loved Barbara Hare (Ethelyn Palmer). In the scene where she arrives as a divorced wife at the Carlyle home, finds another Mrs. Carlyle in her place, and her son dying, she was magnetic and artistic When her son died she -was the picture of dumb desnalr. stricken to the heart, and she well deserved the rousing curtain recall she received. George Alison gave a finished portrayal of Archibald Carlyle, a respectable, kind, but unemotional man. not given to the trick of wearing his heart on his sleeve as seen In his treatment of his second wife. William Bernard gave a wonderful. strong reading to the part of sir rancis Levison, and was as black a villain as the lines called for. He also excelled In the finer comedy parts. Mrs. Bernard and Miss "Dot" Bernard acted well. Miss Gleason never did better, more artistic work as crabbed, sour-tempered but kind- hearted Cornelia Carlyle. Bennett South ard had a clever make-up as Dill, tha 60-year-old butler. Miss Palmer made an Interesting Barbara Hare, and little aer tha Holmes deserves praise for her work as Willie Carlyle. "East Lynne" Is well worth a visit, and will be the attraction at the Baker for this the closing week of the' season, v COMING ATTRACTIONS. New Bill at the Empire. Monday Is opening night at tho Empire Theater, tho night when the programme for the week is first presented, ane pop ularlty of this new playhouse grows apace and the bill presented for the first time tonight will certainly add to it." The fantastic musicians. Delphino and Del mora, introduce many new electrical ef fects and other novelties during their act, and are a most effective feature. Devaney and Allen, a team of black-face comedians, havo a stock of foolertes that will make everybody happy and Wood ford and Marlboro will aid 'and abet them in this praiseworthy work. The other acts on the bill are also ex cellent. An audience could see some of them a dozen times and still find new points to laugh at. For all lovers of high class music, Arthur Hahn, the deep voiced Australian, will be a strong at traction. , He will sing a trio of great bass songs, famoub all over the world. Budd Bros., whose comical contortions amused the large audiences of last week so well, have been retained for another seven days, as have Raymond and Clark, the titillating tattlers. Mexiaa and Mex las are a new team. As a whole the new programme will provide an excellent entertainment and should draw a bumper house tonight. Daly Company at the Marqnam. The advance sale of seats will open Wednesctay morning at 10 o'clock for the return engagement next Friday Saturday afternoon and night at tho Marquam Grand Theater, of the Augustln Daly Musical Comedy Company, which made such a decided hit last Saturday nirht at the' above theater. KILLED BY HIS SPREE. Shingle-Worker, Whose Heart Could Not Stand the Celebration. A Fourth of July spree killed John Lunstrum, aged 45 years, who for some time past has been employed at the shlnglo mills at Scholl's Ferry. While re turning to his place of employment on a hay-wagon yesterday, he fell dead from the effects of heart disease accelerated by drink. With W. W. Fletcher, who was em ployed at the same mill, Lunstrum came to Portland last Friday to enjoy the Fourth. Ho put up at the Columbia Ho tel, and his partner left him there. Yes terday morning Fletcher called at the ho tel to take him back to the mill and found him apparently well, but slightly dazed from the effects of a holiday spree. He was strong enough to climb into the wagon by himself, however, and they started for the mllL At Seventeenth and Columbia he fell unconscious In tho bot tom of the hayrack. At first Fletcher thought his passenger had fallen asleep, but on trying to awaken him ho found that he was very sick. Word was tele phoned to the police station, and the patrol wagon hurried to the scene, but the man was dead before the police ar rived. Coroner Finley was summoned at once and took charge of tnot body. He looked Into the circumstances 'carefully, and de cided that an inquest was not necessary. Condon There First. Condon Globe. The Dalles, through the Portland Jour nal, claims to have been the-first town In Oregon to reach Heppner tho day after the flood. Condon disputes this distinc tion with the town on the Columbia, and lays claim to being the first town outside of Willow Creek Valley to reach the stricken city with a, relief corps. News of the flood reached here about 8:30 A. M. and within an. hour relief parties were on the way. More than 60 Condon people reached Heppner before dark Monday over tha longest and hardest 40-mllo stretch of "road In" this part of Oregon and wefe ready for work, at 4 o'clock the nextmorn lng. Condon has no desire to detract from the good work done by any other town, but declines to yield the palm of The Dalles. In being first on the ceao of desolation and ruin. OREGONIAK, MONDAY, Shields' VaadeTllIe. Marie Less I rig 'Arkansas Rube." Jessie Orr Dancing comedienne . Three Mlllards Comedy novejty. Charles Gardner Colored comedian. Hugh Bmnfatt Musical imitations. ' Athon-Wilson-Clarke Co. "The. Furni ture Man." The Palomas Singing duo. Illustrated songs Clark Roberts. The polyscope. Rain again interfered last night vwith the presentation of vaudeville at Shields' Park, and the show was held at Cordray's Theater, which was crowded. The bill is attractive and contains many good novel ties. Mario Lesslng, in her act as the Arkan sas "Rube," Is an amusing girl of the Sis Perkins "type, and she kept the audience In roars of laughter with her rural cos tume, songs, sayings and dances. Jessie Orr, a pretty girl who" dances in a grace ful manner, was first on tho list, and she arrived from San Francisco just In time to dress for the show, but without 'any thing to eat after having been on the train all day. She wore a red dress and artistic picture hat, and her high kicking and dancing arc first class. Charles Gard ner, a colored comedian, is an excellent cornet-player, but In the act preceding his. cornet-player he used one objectionable expression, and he ought to leave it out in future. Otherwise his lecture on the topics of the dny was funny. The three Mlllards a little girl, a man and woman are decidedly worth hearing, as they are clever performers, well up In their work. The little girl does a song and cakewalk, and the man does the fun niest "Rube" act seen in Shields' vaude ville this season. He has a most Judicrous makeup of a kind that would make a mule laugh, and ho plays excellently on the vio lin while his partner gracefully extem porizes on tho mandolin. Clark- Roberts, tho new tenor, is very effective in two Illustrated songs. "She Is Sleeping by tho Silvery Rio Grande" and "It's the Man In the Soldier Suit." He has a fetching and expressive voice. The two Palomas are again heard In a difficult and well-sung operatic selection, and they were forced to respond to two encores. The Athon-WH-son-Clark combination Is seen in a new act; "The Furniture Man," in which Athon gains now honors. Hugh Emmett Is still top-liner in his musical Imitations, and the clever way he Imitated on his violin sounds mado by animals made people think they were really in a farmyard. He got three deafening encores. New views are flashed by the polyscope. The same entertaining bill for the rest of the week. BROKE THE RECORD. Jlore Stearacm Pans Draiva of Barn. Slue auu sicci,iiriugca auhu a v -- More steamers passed through the draws of the steel, and Burnslde bridges during the month of June than for any month since those bridges, were built. For the steel bridge the record was 1690 steamers and for the BurnBlde bridee 1502. Tho average number of steamers passing through the Burnaide bridge draw is now 50 per day. Tho number of steamers pass ing through the Morrison bridge draw also has Increased. When the effort was made to get the War Department to permit the draws of all the bridges to be closed at certain hours out of the 24 only Joseph Buchtel was present to submit the matter to Cap tain Langfitt. who remarked at the time that the people of the East Side did not seem to be much interested. All the trans portation companies had representatives present to protest. The City & Suburban .Railway Company has asked tho County Commissioners to regulate the opening of the draw oh Morrison bridge. However, this will be a difficult matter to do as the law holds the operators of the draws re sponsible for the prompt opening and I they are liable to heavy fine If they do not do this. Mr. Buchtel was chairman of a commit tee from the East Side Improvement As sociatlon to ask that the draws be closed at short intervals when the 'traffic was particularly heavy. The movement failed then, but it is considered almost certain that the time will come when the opening and closing of the draws will be regulated to accommodate ho traffic over the bridges.
