12 THE MORNING OREGONIA2T, SATURDAY, AUGUST ,1, 1903. TORTURED BY FIENDS TWO CHILDREN'S FACES BURNED WITH GTOTOWDER. Cansfet la. the "Wood, Tito Bor Are Held Over Fire Injuries May Cause Lobs of Slsat. Boy and Bessley Miller, young: sons of Superintendent Miller, ot the Iald farm, southeast of the city, may loose their eight as the result of a fiendish assault made upon them Thursday afternoon by a pair of unknown hoodlums. The chil dren "were overpowered and their faces held close to heaps of black powder, which were Ignited by their wanton assailants. Having tortured their victims in that manner, the pair made off in great haste and thus far there is ho clew to their Identity, although the police are at work en the case. The children ore now confined to their borne, suffering Intense pain from the se vere burns sustained by them. Their eyes We badly injured and blindness may re sult, although it Is hoped to save their eight. The inhuman attack was made in the -woods near the Ladd farm. Bessley, who is 10 years old, had 'gone into the woods with Boy, who is two years his Junior, and they were but a short distance from home when they met two youths carrying guns and wearing belts. One of them carried a large flask of black powder. They seized the children and proceeded to terrorize them, by dls;ussljg plans of torturing their captlveE. They finally de cided to use the powder and Informed their victims of the fate in store for them. Ignoring the frantic struggles and pleas for mercy of the ladn, the hoodlums placed the powder in two heaps on the ground and forced the faces of their vic tims close over the explosive. Then matches were applied and the children were left screaming with pain and fright. The hoodlums lost no time In getting out of the vicinity. Attracted by the cries of his children, the father hurried into t"ne woods and learned of what had taken place. He made a hurried search of the woods, but could find no trace of the perpetrators of the outrage. YcsterJay the matter was reported to Police Captain Grltzmacher, who at once detailed an ofllcer on the case. However, the description of the youths was but meagre, their victims having been too badly frightened to notice them closely. The officers regard the act as one of pure Jevlltry and wantonness and do not be lieve there was any motive. GOOD LIVESTOCK YEAR. Shipment From Eastern Orejrnn "Will Exceed. Any Precedlnp; Ycar'fi. "The outlook is for a good movement of cattle and sheep from Oregon this Rea Bon," said C. J. Millls. livestock agent of the O. B. & K. lines, yesterday, "but prices re a little easier than last year. The bf si cattle movement has been stron, showing a good, healthy condition of the movement. Oregon growers are furnishing more beer at home than ever before, because they raise hay to feed them, because the home demand Is much stronger, and also because market condi tions are on a permanent basis. But Ore gon cattlemen will never be able to fin ish off all they breed, and there -will be a strong demand for stock for finishing In other sections, where conditions are not so favorable for breeding. "The livestock shipments over the O. K. & N. this year will probably exceed those of any year for some time past; it may be 20 per cent. We have shipped many sheep to San Francisco this year. They have found that Oregon sheep Is the only mutton, and they are atter It. "The Angora goat industry is In Its in fancy, but is assuming respectable pro portions; but the home demand Is enough to take care of all. Oregon mohair is recognized as superior. The holdings are largely in the hands of a few, and the business has not assumed such propor tions as to warrant sealed bid methods of sale, such as obtain in handling wool."

Port of Portland Commission Attain Offer Inane or $275,000. The Port of Portland Commission has advertised for bids for $275,000 in refund ing bonds. Some time ago the oommls elon advertised for proposals on $303,000 In bonds, but only J25.W0 was accepted. The bonds are to bear interest at 4 per cent and are to run from one to ten years, as fallows: J 30.000 to mature June 1. 1004. $33,000 to mature June 1. 1003. 130.000 t- mature June 1. 1000. $23,000 to mature June 1. 1007. $20,000 to mature June 1. 100S. $30,000 to mature June 1. 100U. $23,000 to mature June 1. 1010. $30,000 to mature June 1, 1011. 322.000 to mature June 1. 1912. $30,000 to -mature June 1, 1013. Total $275,000. The bids are to be opened September 7. "For a man who wants a sure invest ment." said C. F. Adams yesterday, one of the Commissioners. "I don't know of a better place where he can put his money than in these bonds. The Supreme Court has passed upon the validity of the act which authorizes the bonds, and there is no doubt whatever about their legality." The $25,000 'worth of bonds recently sold notted the purchasers between 5 and 6 per cent interest a year. The bonds sold la tho iaco of several disadvantages. Money is active and in very great de mand Just now. Furthermore, the bonds are to run short term periods, and in vestors prefer long term securities. The interest rate discourages pools or syndi cates, which are accustomed to buy up bfocks of securities for retailing. The Port of Portland bonds, though Just as safe as Portland bonds, do not have the demand that municipal securities enjoy because the status of the Port of Port land is not understood as it should be by Eastern investors. GIVES UP ATTEMPT. Applicant for -Telephone Franchise Withdraws Prl-vllcKe to Carnival. The petition for a franchise for the Empire Construction Company, of To ledo, O., to construct a telephone system in Portland, has been withdrawn, and the franchise did not come up at the meet ing of the street committee of the Coun cil yesterday afternoon. As a special favor to the carnival of the Multnomah Club, the committee granted the use of several streets. Yam hill street from the clubhouse to Four teenth, Chapman from Morrison to Tay lcr, and 101 feet on the side streets from Morrison to Taylor may be used for this purpose. Rumelln promised to Introduce an or dinance at the next meeting providing for an expenditure of $500. if necessary, to construct a concrete drinking fountain at the corner of Seventh and Ankeny streets. The city owns a triangle 14 by 35 feet and apparently this is the best use it can be put to. Tho petition of a number of property owners of Holladay's Addition to force the O. R. & N. Company to keep in repair the sidewalks leading to the East Port land depot was referred to the City Attor ney after a warm discussion. , "I don't believe much in these peti tions," declared Sharkey. "Why, I could go out and get people to sign a petition for most anything. Why, Merrill, Inside of an hour 1 could get 100 people to sign a petition to hang you," and the commit tee had to laugh.

Boat to Make His Way to His Brothers May Be Sent to Them. Turned adrift by his father. Tillman Hick yesterday admitted that he stole a rowboat from E. L. WIthort, of Linnton. in order to reach his brothers at "Wlnlock. He was bound over in $100 ball by Justice Seton for appearance before the grand Jury. The boy, who Is 14 years old. says that his father is A. B. Hlett, of Monmouth, an old soldier, who carries a bullet In his body. He says the old man gave him hardly enough money to bring him to Portland and set him afloat. He spent a night In Jail at Oregon City and ar rived in Portland without a cent. He started down the river, intending to go to his brothers, Edward and Al Hlett, who work In, a sawmill at Wlnlock. He admits that pn reaching Linnton he took the boat and rowed to Kahuna, where he was arrested and brought back. He told the story without any apparent concep tion that he had committed a crime and smiled good-naturedly at the questions put to him. "How would you like to work at the rockplle " asked the Justice. "Oh. I don't know," replied the Ipd, T wouldn't mind being put In jail if It wouldn't be longer than a year." The boy was well dressed and neat In appearance, and unless he is an adept, gave every one the impression that he is not a criminal. District Attorney Manning will write to the address of his two brothers. Edward and Al. Hlett, at Wlnlock, and see if they will send for him. If they will he will be sent to them. STREET CONTRACTS DELAYED. Nothing- Being- Done to Improve East Oak Street. The patience of the property-owners and the public Is exhausted over the de lay of Contractors Smyth & Howard in starting the Improvement of East Oak street, between Union avenue and East Twelfth street. The contracts; for Im provement of this street between East Water and East Twelfth were let nearly four months ago. J. B. Tlllotson com pleted the elevated roadway between East Water and Second a month ago. That Is all that has been done. There are two blocks of elevated roadway between Union avenue and East Sixth street In cluded In Smyth & Howard's contract, which have been closed for five or six years and are in a dangerous condition. These roadways will have to be torn away and rebuilt. This will take time. Frank Stephens has two blocks of the graveled portion between East Sixth and East Twelfth streets. The contractors still have till the early part of September to complete this Im provement, but It Is doubtful If the work can now be done within that time, even If It were started at once. Ennt Side Note. Evening Star Grange, No. 27, Patrons of Husbandry, will hold an Important ses sion today In Multnomah hall. John Glascp and wife, colored evangel ists, have opened their annual mission on Division and East Eleventh streets, to continue three weeks. Rev. H. B. Elworthy, late pastor of the M. E. Church at Sunnyslde, now at Gold endale, will arrive, today and will occupy the pulpit of Trinity M. E. Church, East Tenth and East Grant streets, tomorrow morning. DID NOT WANT OSBORNE Former Independence Mlnliitcr De nied Orders In Episcopal Chnrch. Admission to the Episcopal church in this city has been denied to Rev. Howard Osborne, for whom a warrant of arrest on a charge of selling mortgaged property In Independence was recently Issued. For several months Rev. Mr. Osborne studied at the Episcopal College at San Mateo, CaL, at the advice of Bishop B. Wlster Morris, of the .Oregon diocese, to whom Osborne applied six months ago for orders in the Episcopal ministry. Osborne's efforts to secure the orders were looked upon with suspicion by Rev. George B. Van Waters, of this city, who Is chairman of the stand ing committee of the diocese. Investiga tion of Osborne's record was commenced by Dr. Van Waters, with the result that ho was rejected. According to reports from Vancouver, B. C. the erstwhile clergyman has had previous experience In being expelled from the ministry. It Is said that while a Methodist minister In British Columbia he became so enthusi astic over politics as to necessitate a church trial, which resulted in the rejec tion of the creed by Rev. Mr. Osborne, who was Incensed at the penalty inflicted by the church authorities. TOM MOUNTAIN IN JAIL. Took a Shot at a Canine and Beat the Owner. Captain Tcm Mountain, a veteran spe cial ofllcer and wharfinger at the O. R. & N. dock, was before Judge Hogue In the Municipal Court, yesterday forenoon, on a charge of assault and battery on S. Goldman. leeper of a Couch-street second hand store. Goldman appeared In court in company with a Jag of uncomfortable propori-ons. and as he was unable to tes tify the Judge ordered him behind the bars to collect his scattered thoughts. The case was continued until today. Captain Mountain, who Is more than ?0 years of age, declares that he is not guilty of having struck Goldman. He says Goldman Is the owner of a vicious dog, and that he exchanged words with Goldman after having taken a shot at the canine, which had formed a habit of bit ing him. The case will possibly be heard this morning. SENT TO COUNTY JAIL. Charles Shantley Is Chnrfced "With Grand Larceny, and Has No BalL Charles Shantley. charged with grand larceny, was held to answer to the grand Jury on- that charge when taken before Municipal Judge Hogue yesterday. He was unable to furnish $la00 ball and was sent to a cell In the county Jail, after waiving preliminary examination. The most Incriminating evidence against the prisoner lay In the fact that stolen goods to the value of $U0 were found In his room in the California House, at Third and Davis streets. Detective Hart- man, -who captured Shantley, located the room and found the stolen goods, which. It has been learned, belong to A. Wil liams, who Is said also to have lost $45 in cash through Shantley"s presence In the city. The loot secured from Williams In cluded a part of his clothing. Among other things found in the suspect's room was a grip belonging to J. Green. She Want a. Good Deal for Her ?150. Chicago Record-Herald. A London paper recently published the following advertisement: "Required by delicate lady living In London, a young lady by birth and edu cation, as housekeeper and to control the sen-ants and act as lady's maid. Must be thorough English Catholic, accustomed to Illness, good tempered, sympathetic, gentle, unselfish and kind; not over SO and younger preferred; good at accounts; good needle-woman; able to work treadle sewing machine; good traveler and pack er, and good reader aloud; private sit ting room, but must be companionable when required; Inclose -photo. Must have excellent references. Salary, 30i No widow need apply." Thirty .pounds a year would, be about $150, or somewhat less than $3 a week. It Is difficult to estimate what such a lady as the advertiser calls for would be worth over here, but at a rough guess, and -using the wages paid to ordinary help as a basis for -calculation, we should say about $20 a minute. If she happens In addition to her other good points to be beautiful, the price would of course be higher. Evidently, If the advertiser had any substantial reason to hope that her an nouncement would bring replies, there are vast differences in the conditions of do mestic service In England and America. Such a paragon as is wanted by the Eng lish woman .would only have to give a reasonable assurance of her ability to cook if she cared to avail herself of the millions of Mr. John Farson or almost any other American captain of industry. NEW GEOLOGIC BRANCH. Division to Have Charge of Work In Alaska. Is Formed. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, July 2S. A new division has been established in the United States Geologi cal Survey, entitled the "Division of Alas ka Mineral Resources," which will em brace all of the Investigations and sur veys being carried on in Alaska. This division Is co-ordinate with the others of the geological branch ot the survey and Its chief will report- to the Director. For some years past extensive surveys and investigations have been systemati cally carried on in Alaska, the results of which have appeared In more than 20 publications of the Geological Survey, ac companied by extensive maps. These re ports have been for the roost part devot ed to the discussion of the mineral re sources of Alaska, and have proved of great practical benefit to. prospectors and miners. This work Is being pushed as rapidly as the appropriation will allow. The Alaskan division has now seven par ties In the field, of which two are map ping and Investigating the placers of the Nome region, two the gold deposits of the Yukon, another the coal-bearing rocks of the Yukon, the sixth Is making a reconnaissance of the "petroleum fields of Controller Bay and Cook Inlet, and the seventh Is making a reconnaissance of the vein deposits of the Juneau and adjacent districts. Alfred H. Brooks has been made chief of the-new division, with the official des ignation of Geologlst-In-Charge, Division of Alaskan Mineral Resources. Mr. Brooks has been engaged in Alaskan In vestigations for the last six years, during whlph time he has made many exten sive journeys in the Territory- He has had administrative control of the geolog ical work in Alaska for the last two years, and will now combine with this the charge of the topographic work. He leaves Washington In a day or two for an extended tour In Alaska, and will visit a number of the important mining dis tricts In which Investigations are being carried on. A. H. Brooks will continue the. super vision of all geologic work In Alaska. Under his direction A. J. Collier, assist ed by Frank L. Hess, will make a careful investigation of the gold placers of Sew ard Peninsula, with the view of sunDle- mentlng the hasty reconnaissance woVk of previous years; he will also undertake some areal mapping and stratlgraphlc studies of that region. Dr. A. C Spencer, assisted by Charles W. Wright, will In vestigate the areal and economic geology of the Juneau mining district, and later will make a. reconnaissance of the eco nomic geology of Berner Bay and somo of the other mining districts of South eastern Alaska.

TELLS OF SHEEP SCAB. Department of Agriculture Prepares a Paper for Distribution. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. July 2S. "Scab In Sheep." is the title of a recent farmers' bulletin Issued by the Department of Aggriculture. In this publication the whole subject of sheep scab, so prevalent ahd so disas trous among sheep flocks In Western States. Is comprehensively discussed, and valuable suggestions are made for the eradication ot the scourge. The disease is said to be the most prevalent and most Injurious malady which affects sheep. It Is a contagious skin disease caused by a parasite mite. Investigation has shown that the disease is not heredi tary, as the parasites which cause It live on the external surface of the body. It Is possible, however, for a lamb to become Infected 'from a scabby mother at the moment of birth or Immediately after. The treatment must consist of external applications for tho destruction of the parasites and not internal remedies to "purify the blood." The disease is one of the most serious drawbacks to the sheep Industry and re sults In enormous financial losses. The losses are due to the shedding of the wool, failure of condition and the death of the sheep. Yet, despite itst insidious nature. Its ease of transmission. Its se- CHANGE Quit Coffee ant. Got Well. A woman's coffee, experience is inter esting. "For two weeks at a time I have taken no food but skim milk, for solid food would ferment and cause such a pressure of gas and such distress that I could hardly breathe at times, also ex cruciating pain and heart palpitation, and all the time I was so nervous and rest less. "From childhood up I had been a cof fee and teadrinker, and for the past 20 years I have been trying different physl clans, but could get only temporary re lief. Then I read an article telling how some one had been cured by leaving oft coffee and drinking Postum, and It seemed so pleasant just to read about good health, I decided to try Postum in place of coffee. "I made the change from coffee to Pos tum, and such a change there Is In me that I don't feel like the same person. We all found Postum delicious and like it better than coffee. My health now is wonderfully good. "As soon as I made the shift from cof fee to Postum. I got better, and now all of my troubles are gone. I am fleshy, my food assimilates, the pressure In the chest and palpitation are all gone, my bowels are regular, have no more stomach trou ble, and my headaches are gone.

It all the sheep owners of tho country would dip sheep regularly and thoroughly, there Is no reason why this scourge should not be totally eradicated from the United States. In many cases, particularly among owners of small flocks, there are erroneous ideas prevalent regarding the exact nature of the disease, and 'the methods by which it may be eradicated. It is to meet the demand for information on the subject that the bulletin has been prepared for general distribution. TO BUILD NEW HOTEL. Four-Story Balldlns Will Be Erected at Seventh, and Barnslde.
