Several of the employes In The Oregonlan's '"composing-room," or more properly, since setting- type has gone out of date, "machine" room, have lately returned from an ex pedition to Lost Lake, or somewhere In that vicinity, as they never found the lake. Most such parties have stories of more or less doubtful veracity to tell on returning home, In regard to their exploits in hunting and fishing, but printers, proof readers and such seldom know anything about fishing or about hunting or any thing except a "fat take," and that art has been forgotten. The party mentioned devoted themselves to.the study of nat ural science, and espetHally to the study of snakes, with which some of them had had experience, and a variety of which, small garters, were numerous about their camp. One of them has furnished a very interesting tale in regard to observations on one of these reptile's efforts to swal low a toad, which, from its size, seemed better adapted to swallow the snake. When discovered the head and shoulders only of the toad protruded from the mouth of the snake, which was making violent muscular exertions to get it entirely out of sight. It was at first thought that the snake had "bit off more than it could chew," but this idea was abandoned, and after watching its efforts awhile It was picked up by the tail and shaken gently till the toad was released. "When It started to hop away the snake was released and at once ran after it and seized it by its hind legs. It required some skillful maneuvering to get hold of the other leg, and the party watched intently the slow process of reswallowing. Seeing the diffi culties the snake labored under from hav ing no hands or feet, nor any way of cut ting the toad into pieces, they felt so sorry for it that they allowed it to finish its meal In peace. After It had picked its teeth with the point of its tail It colled up to take a siesta, and the crowd of ob servers started for camp. The one In the rear picked up the snake and slyly dropped it Into the pocket of the one ahead of him. When they reached camp this man In pulling out his handker chief discovered the snake, and after sat isfying himself that It was genuine and not a delirious vision, stowed it away for further Investigation. The result of their investigation convinced the party that the snake Is a guileless and much abused animal and Is to be pitied 'for its lack of limbs and being obliged to crawl on Its belly all Its days and have Its head crushed by the heels of the cruel and prejudiced, which Is about what might be expected of a lot of printers anyhow. Vinegar Was Too Thin. A. complaint was filed yesterday in Justice Reld's Court by J. W. Bailey, State Dairy and Food Commissioner, charging A. F. Storp, an East Side grocer, with selling cider vinegar which did not come up to the requirements of the food law. This law provides that cider vinegar shall contain V& per cent of cider vinegar solids, and shall not be colored. The vinegar In ques tion upon being analyzed was found to be colored and to contain only .36 of 1 per cent of solids, which is rather too thin. The case Is set for hearing on Wednesday, September 16, at 2 P. M. Mr. Bailey Is determined to rid the market of this stuff, as there Is no need for selling it, there be ing now several factories In the state which can supply the trade with the genuine article. Dealers who have cider vinegar on hand which they are not cer tain compiles with the food law will do well to have it analyzed and If it is not good get rid of it and so save themselves trouble, as Commislsoner Bailey, being now provided with a good laboratory, will surely detect them. He Is collecting samples daily, and In a few hours can tell just what their quality is. There are plenty of cider apples in Oregon, and there should be plenty of good cider vine gar. No Pat, No Water. If purveyors of other household supplies 'had the power the city has in regard to the payment of wafer rates there would be but few un paid bills lying around. Thursday hav ing been the last day of grace for payings water rates, those who had failed to pungle were obliged to go to a neighbor's yesterday to borrow water till such time as they could run down town to pay their water bill and half a dollar, to pay for having their water supply turned on again. Some had forgotten to pay, some had put it off until the'last day of grace and found such a long string at the pay desk that they could not wait to get their receipt and so the next morning they found that as far as they were concerned Bull Rjun had gone dry. Water consum ers can find a chance to pay their rates without having to wait any time during the first five or six days of the month, and if they like they can send a check for their rate by mall and so dispense with going to the office at all, but pay in some way they must by the evening of the 10th or have no water to dilute their whisky with. Thet Didn't Turn Black. A little chap of 5 or 6 years a few evenings ago accompanied his parents to the house In South Portland to witness the mar riage of his elder brother to a daughter of that house. He watched the ceremony with a critical eye, and from his looks it apparently did not come up" to his expec tations. Next morning he remarked to his mother that Charley and Mary did not turn black when being married. His mother could not understand what he meant till he brought to her one of his books In which was a picture of the wed ding of a pair pf negroes. He had from looking at this conceived the Idea that people turned black In the face when be ing married. His mother told him that usually getting married made people turn pale, and that the black looks came after ward: He is now puzzling over this conundrum, but Is not likely to compre hend it until he has been through the mill himself. New Members Chamber of Commerce. The following persons and firms were elected to membership In the Chamber of Commerce yesterday: HIrschberger & Sweeney, City Messenger & Delivery Com pany. Frank V. Drake. Tull & GIbbs, F, B. Gobbi, Marshall Wells Hardware Com pany, C. C. Bobbins, Hotel Belvedere, Waterhouse & Lester and F. A, Bancroft. Delegate to Irrigation Congress. Major Philip G.

Fifteen hundred pounds of garlic braided In strings in the conventional manner, was the load of produce which a Tualatin plains farmer was disposing of on Front street yesterday. Their fragrance per meated to the ends of the street, custom ers came from all directions, and he had no trouble in disposing of his load at 5 to 6 cents a pound. This is more than twice what onions bring, but then garlic is much more than twice as loud smelling as onions. The farmer Is one of the four on Tualatin Plains who cultivate garlic on a large scale, and he said they were a troublesome crop to raise. As garlic Is used chiefly by the people of Southern Europe and the French, he was asked If he were not a Frenchman. He said he was a German, but his father came' from France, and carried the liking for garlic along. The garlic is akin to the onion and leek, a member of the lily family, the bulbs being divided Into 10 or 32 little ones called cloves. It has a very strong odor and pungent taste, but is greatly esteemed by those who like it and are not particular about their breath smelling sweet. The majority of Americans are particular on this point and so shun gar lic and use tobacco. "Every one to his taste," as the woman said who kissed her cow. It Is said that onions cannot be grown successfully on land which has borne garlic, as it takes all the strength out of the soil. Employing Plumbers at Work. The strike of the Journeymen plumbers is making busy times for the employers, who havcturned up their sleeves and gone to work with a will and say they are making more money than for a long time. As there are about 40 of the employers and only about SO journeymen, and a number of these are not so good work men as the others, the employers, by put ting In their best licks and Joining forces when necessary, are able to keep the work offering pretty well In hand. Plumb ing Inspector Hulme when asked if he were not relieved of many of the cares of office on account of the employers turning workmen said he had to keep a sharp eye on them, as they were very careful' about using any more expensive material than was necessary, while the Journeymen used it lavishly. Some of the employers say that they expect Journey men, plumbers enough to keep them out to arrive here soon, but others say that is only a bluff, but that they expect their workmen to come back when they get ready. When they do they will accept the rules of the employers, which are $4.50 per day for eight hours' work, and those who are worth more will be paid more. Soldier Bots Turn Farmers. Many members of Company H, Second Ore gon, will be surprised to learn that their comrades, Martin Pratt and Don Rae, who went all through the Philippine War with them, have turned farmers. They have taken up homesteads in Crook Coun ty, about 20 miles from PrlnevllleAnot far from the center of the state, and are lo cated there and preparing to sit under their own vines and fig trees. They have had a blacksmith turn the Spanish bay onets they brought home from the Philip pines into pruning hooks, and will buy plows with plowshares on them, and some where in the world there Is a iriaiden thinking of each of them and singing: "I'll be mistress of my dairy and a milking of my cow, while my jolly, brisk young farmer boy goes whistling to his plow." This programme is subject to change, as it is not quite certain whether they will engage in wheatgrowing or stockraislng or timber culture. In any event all their old comrades will wish them success. Matqr Will Receive Contributions. Contributions to the fund for the purchase of a silver service for Sir Thomas Lipton as a token of the esteem in which that disciple of yacht racing is held by the American people will be received by Mayor Williams. British Consul James Laldlaw, to whom the circular letter from the general fund committee in New York was referred by Mayor Williams, the orig inal recipient, felt constrained to decline an active part in the work -of fund rais ing, because he is a fellow countryman of Sir Thomas, while the Idea of the comr mlttee is to have the token come from the American people. The sum required Is small and could readily be raised In New York In a very short time were it not that conributions from all the states of the Union will give an" added sentiment to the token. Conventions Invited to Portland. President Livingstone, of the Chamber of Commerce, has made a showing of Port land's efforts In convention work during the past month. The Chamber of Cpm merce has extended invitations to the Na tional Letter-Carriers' Association, Amer ican Mining Congress, World's Evangel ical Conference, Hoo Hoo and National Educational Association. Financial asr slstance was given the letter-carriers and delegates to the Mining Congress and the former voted to come to Portland. A re quest that an Invitation be extended to the National Convention of the Chris tian Church to come to Portland In either 3S04 or 1905 was acted upon favorably by the trustees of the Chamber of Com merce yesterday. Will G. Steel's Project Indorsed. s The project of Will G. Steel to bring a delegation of Eastern newspapermen to Portland In 1905 has been approved by the Chamber of Commerce, as well as by the Board of Trade. The plan was first sub mitted to the Board of Trade and the in dorsement of that body secured. Yester day the matter was brought to the at tention of the Chamber of Commerce, and afer the trustees had approved the plan President Livingstone was authorized to name a committee of three to co-operate with the other commercial bodies Inter ested in the project and the Lewis and Clark corporation. It Is expected these committees will take up the matter and if possible put It through. Saloon-Keepers Forfeit Bail J. and E. Blazier and G. M.

"Whlttaker Bellows "Willis Archer Green Woodheadi Frank Cooper Crab J. Thomas Mink Harry "Weston Lowe Dodge Joseph Keene Sam Rowe E. D. Cotbell Mrs. Brander Josephine Fox Mrs. Major Campbell Mae Duclos Dixie Style Ada Freemont Bossy Mae Bretonne That rugged, delightful American classic, the late Charles H. Host's "A Texas Steer," which was firtit played in Jersey City, N." J., In 1S89, was the attraction at the Marquam las night, and there was a large attendance. Harry B. Emery is the present proprietor of the show, and he was on hand, looking as prosperous and hearty as ever. The play was exceedingly well received, the audience was quick to catch the flashes of wit dished up In the old familiar Hoyt style, and there Is not a weak member In the company. They have evidently been carefully selected for the special work required of them, and the action flows with a smoothness that speaks of long practice In the various roles. People would have been exceed ingly difficult to please had they sat through that most delightful play without entering, heartily into the story and laughing at Its many Jokes. It is Inter esting to recall that "A Texas Steer" is probably Hoyt's favorite play and is the one production written by that genial humorist that has never been taken off the boards since It was first played in public It has proved to be a gold mine. Many actors and actresses have risen to fame from its ranks. Flora Walsh, after ward Mrs. Hoyt, was the original Bossy, Brander's pet; Tim Murphy became known to fame as Maverick Brander, and Milt G. Barlow, the present Christiopher Co lumbus, Jr., Flshback, a colored polltl-. cian, was one of the famous minstrel firm of Barlow, Wilson, Primrose & West that flourished about 20 years ago. It is safe to say that many people in last night's audience had previously seen "A Texas Steer," yet they laughed at the jdkes and ready wit with keen zest. The colored male quartet sang well, and re ceived five encores. Thc could have sung for the greater part of the evening, so far as the gallery was concerned, for they completely captured the critics 'way up aloft. The second bass in the quar tet has a good voice of excellent volume and quality. It would be an Improve ment, however. If the quartet would' sing some of the humorous songs off the darky Southland. One of the rcngers warbled: "Sa-a-ay, my father is the strongest man In the world. He pulled up the Missis sippi River, In a rowboat." There was a joyful 'burst of applause when Maverick Brander, the newly-elected Congressman from Texas, was carried from his buggy and lifted shoulder-high to receive the cheers of his constituents, many of whom had sold their votes to him at J5 per vote. "Gentlemen," plaintively remarked Brander, "what do I want In Congress? I'm an honest man." Bossy was as en joyable as ever, portrayed by Mae Bret onne, and It was interesting" to watch the evolution In the various stages of her development until she reached the heights of a society young lady. The audience waited breathlessly until Brander and Brassy Gall did their duet, especially the part where Gall protested that the region of Red Dog, Texas, was a paradise, and that the only things it lacked were so ciety and a little 'more rain. The audi ence smiled, for they knew the bon mot that was coming. "Society and a little more rain?" echoed Brander; "that's all h l needs!" Milt G. Barlow gave a positive treat in his clever and amusing portraiture of the pdrt of Flshback. the colored politician who wishes to be appointed United States Minister to Dahomey. At first he was the self-important, conceited darky who thinks he is going to rule creation be cause he has been promised a foreign mission, and he slowly sank down the scale of life until, ragged and dejected, he was glad to accept a Job as Superin tendent of the Waste Basket Department at the Capitol. The three Texans who came to Washington, D. C, to Investi gate charges against their Congressmen, as usual made the prlnclpa) hit in the piece. "A Texas Steer" will be played for the last time during the present en gagement, this afternoon at 2:15 o'clock. There Is no evening performance. 3IATIXEES TODAY. Mntlnee at Empire Today. If Raymond and Caverly, the German comedians at the Empire Theater this week, could make a million Jokes a min ute the "audience would 'laugh at every one. The vaudeville world holds no mer rier act than theirs. This Is the last week of Loa Durbyelle, tho woman shad ographlst, whose clever turn is exception ally Interesting. Mounts and Delmar, tho operatic duo, also close their engagement with tomorrow night's performance. Mat lneo this afternoon. Prices only 20 and 10 cents. Last Day of "Tlie Legion of Honor." "The Legion of Honor" will be given by the Mordant-Humphreys Company at the matlneo today at Cordray's Theater and again for the last time, tonight. The play is as well deserving of patronage as a great many high-priced shows that have appeared In Portland during the past yeur and Is of much higher class than those ordinarily seen at popular-priced theaters. "A Texas Steer" Mntlnee. This afternoon at 2:15 o'clock Hoyt's "A Texas Steer" Company, which opened to a crowded house at the Marquam Grand Theater Fast night, will give their last performance. The company Is, the best one we have had in years In a Hoyt farce and is well worth seeing. No performance this evening. COMIIVG ATTRACTIONS. Baker Theater Ready for Opening. One of the scenes of greatest activity today in the city is the Baker Theater, where an army of workmen arc busy put ting on the finishing touches and cleaning up for the opening Sunday afternoon of this, most popular playhouse, which has been so sadly missed In the life of theat rical movements the last few weeks. But with the first glance at the Interior the most critical of all the old patrons will feel fully repaid for the delay In opening, as every slightest detail pf comfort, beauty arid convenience has received the most thorough attention from that progressive manager, George L. Baker. The sale for the opening performance has been very heavy, but there are still good scats left, and no one should miss the opportunity of seeing the Nelll-Mo-rosco Company In "The Palace of- the giving," which Is tho first production of the season. "Burled at Sea" Tomorrow. The first Sunday matinee of the season will bo given' at Cordray's Theater to morrow, when "Buried at Sea" will be presented for the first time in Portland. The play is from the pen of Theodore Kremer, New York's most prolific play wright, who Is without doubt one of the most successful writers of today. His first great success was "The Nihilist," which was followed by "The Fatal Wed- " It takes a long time to bring excellence to maturity" Publius Syrus It has taken at least three generations in the case of Gorham Silver but today its excel lence has reached its fullmaturity. Inbeauty of design, in perfec- tion of workmanship, in purity of material, it is unsurpassed. The trade-mark guarantees all these qualities in every piece of Gorham silver. All retponsibla jeweler keep it ding," and many more too numerous to mention. "Burled at Sea" Is his very latest effort and is considered by the critics everywhere to be his best. "Burled at Sea" Is written In a most entertaining manner and fortunately Is presented by an exceptionally good company organized especially for this one production. The play Is In the nature of a scenic produc tion and all scenery and effects are car ried by the company. Judging from the newspapers of the cities in which the company has played on its way to Port land, the play Is one written for the masses, who greet it most enthusiastically. Empire Theater Ifcw Bill. On Monday next, September 14, the Em pire Theater opens Its new programme, and for head-liners has re-engaged those meteoric merry-makers, Raymond and Caverly. Of all the multitude of German comedians who are making people laugh today, this duo Is the head. They will appear In an entirely new act and the laughter they create will be limited only by the lung capacity of the audience. Many new features have also been en gaged for the coming week. Among them are tho Yerkes, a team of clever contor tionists, a man aid a woman. The bag punching act of Walter H. Oakes is also something of a jiovelty, as he Introduces many new effects of light and music. Bandy and Wilson, a quick-footed team of dancers, will present a laughable act in which Bandy will give an imitation of a man who does not know what to do with his feet. "The Chaperons" Open Monday. Coming fresh from Its noteworthy East ern triumphs, "The Chaperons" Is an nounced for "presentation in this city at the Marquam Grand Theater for four nights, beginning next Monday, Septem ber 14, with a special Wednesday matinee at 2:15 o'clock, with tho complete original production and with slight changes the original cast. This merry comedy opera has been quite generally accepted as the forerunner of a more modern and elabor ate style of musical comedy, for It Is said to combine opera, burlesque and extrava ganza in a most agreeable manner, and the music of Isadore Wltmark is declared to be the most tuneful and attractive to be heard in any of the rival presentments of the same class. Seats are now selling for the entire engagement. , At Shield' Tonight. With the prospects of fine weather Shields' Park should be crowded tonight, for it is the last night of the present show. The park closes the season tomor row nlsht with a new bill. This week's bill Is an excellent one, and has, been largely patronized all w,eek. Grace Walton Haynle has been a big drawing card. Many people have gone out of curiosity to see her and left aston ished at the finished recitals she gave. Her pronounced success has been a happy surprise. All of the laurels should not be bestowed upon Mrs. Haynle? for there are nine more acts on the programme that aro good and can be classed as top-liners. Shields Parle Closes Tomorrow. Tomorrow night marks the closing per formance of Shields' Park for this sea son. A big special programme has been arranged, headed by Grace Walton Haynle, who appears in a new specialty. Several acts are in the city, and they have all- asked the privilege of helping close Shields' Park for 1903 in a blaze of red fire and glory. Some very largo crowds have gathered at Thirteenth and Washington streets this Summer, but to morrow night should break all records. The programme will be entirely changed from the one presented last Sunday. ALTERATION SALE. Tho mother can secure big bargains for herself and children in warm underwear and hosiery. Store open till 9:30. McAl len &' McDonnell, the wrecked store. Dividends of Labor Day. The proceeds of the Labor day enter tainment and celebration held under the auspices of the committee from the Fed erated Trades Council at Hawthorne Park last Monday will more than counterbal ance "the expenses Incurred. No exact figures can be obtained as yet, for the committee will meet tomorrow and make a final balance, but It is assured that something over $100 has been cleared. The committee reported to the meeting of the Federated Trades Council last evening and was commended. RnnaTray Boy in Tacoma. Oliver Scott, a 14-year-old boy who ran away from his parents "here a short time ago, was picked up on the streets of Ta coma early yesterday morning. He was arrested on the notice sent by the local authorities, and is now being held pend ing the arrival of a Portland officer. CARD OF TirAXKS. I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to Mr. S. H.
