THE MORNING- OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MAROH 21, 1905. Friend of Wild ERNEST THOMPSON SETON. the In timate friend of the wild, delivered bis illustrated lecture, "Wild Animals 1 Have Met' before two large audiences at the Ma.rq.uarn yesterday. The afternoon lecture was eEpecIally well attended. It was set for o'clock, which save the school children an op portunity to hear the famous animal stories, through which they know the lecturer and author, at first hand. Mr. Seton uses a large number of stereopticon views, made from his own photographs of big game and forest fastnesses. It appears from the lecture, that Mr. Seton'g experience has been largely confined to the Canadian prov inces, where he is at home. His stories, as told from the platform, are similar in kind to those in his books, -and he tells them quite wclL Some are highly amusing and others pathetic to .the point of tears. He recounted tales of daring adventure in the trackless wilderness where the big game lives, the incident of the killing of his last moose being positively thrilling. It also carried a strong moral on the wanton ness of killing the magnificent rnon archs of the forest Mr. Seton's imitations of bird and animal calls were novel and extremely interesting.' As an entertainer Thomp son Seton has had long experience and knows what his public desires. He goes in for simplicity and all of the children who heard him were able to understand. It was a decided treat for those Inter ested in natural history and the char acter of the audiences was the very best. ABOLISH THE BILLBOARDS. W. C. T. U. Will Promote Sentiment for General Civic Improvement. Members of the County "Women's Chris tian Temperance Union honored the mem ory of Ncal Dow, the famous temperance advocate and prohibition leader, at the all-day institute held yesterday in the First Evangelical Church. East Sixth and Market streets, Mrs. Edith Whltesldes, county president, presiding. The fore-, noon was devoted to considering plans of work and listening to tributes to the tem perance apostle. The principal topic of the afternoon was civic improvement in the community and in the home. State President Addlton de livered a lecture on the subject. "In all forward movements, HV- that for civic improvement." saldihe state president, "the "W. C. T. U.'"has usually taken the Initiative, and to its credit be longs the campaign against the hideous billboards that desecrate our streets and the natural scenery of the country. We first recognized the evil suggestions of the flaming pictures. Public sentiment is be ing aroused to such a point that these billboards must go." In speaking of art, Mrs. Addlton said It was within reach of all classes, and should be uplifting, and declared that the oldest and best examples of art were not the nude. "I would also purify the drama," said the speaker, "so that It would be educa tional. We must come to recognize it as a mighty force for good. Pictures may be uplifting. Parlor meetings for consider ing civic improvement are helpful. The school children arc to be encouraged to develop a love for the beautiful, which after all is the basis of civic improvement. It is better to provide them with play grounds than to look after them when locked up in jail. Let us cultivate a love for the beautiful, and do our part in developing public sentiment in this direc tion." Mrs. H. J. Shane suggested that vacant lots in the city might bo used for gardens and cultivation of flowers Instead of be ing jumping places for rubbish. It was also suggested that the school children should be educated in the cultivation ot flowers, and attention was called to the free distribution of flpwer seeds. As an illustration of what school chil dren can do, Montavilla and Highland were cited. Several speakers said that children generally would gladly cultivate flowers if given the opportunity to do so. Attention was called to the practice of scavengers dumping piles of tin cans and rubbish along the Base Line and Section Line roads, and especially on Mount Ta bor, near Montavilla, where tons and tons of rubbish have been hauled and dumped. It was decided to start a vigorous cam plgn for community and homo civic im provement. The institute placed itself on rocord as favoring the providing of places in Port land where worklngmen and others may get a drink of water. A member said she had heard that it was the intention to charge 5 cents for a drink of Bull Run water at the Fair, and remarked that ine W. C. T. TJ. should oppose such a charge being made. SELLS WITH A GUARANTY. Joseph Paquet Gets Out of (Paying for the Fill. Joseph Paquet has sold to Nels Olscn two lots fronting on the south side of East Washington street, between Second and Third, but does not know what he will receive for the property until the fill under way on this street Is completed. It Is stated that the purchase price for the two lots was 12100, and Mr. Olsen says he has a guaranty from Mr. Paquet that the fill in front of the two lots shall not exceed 32000. and that If the cost run above 52000, Mr. Paquet Is to pay the ex cess. Under this contract Mr. Paquet Is not sure how much he will get for the lots, or whether he has made a present of tho property to Olscn. Whatever tho outcome will be. Mr. Paquet says he prefers that Mr. Olscn should get the lots than they should go to the city for the coat of the embank ment on East Washington street. Mr. Oleen, the new owner, will remove the old building standing on the ground and yut up a structure 103x100. With the removal of this building will pass one of the pioneer landmarks on the East Side. By the time the embankment on East Washington street is completed nearly all the unsightly structures on either side will have disappeared. MOSTLY REPUBLICANS REGISTER Few Democrats Have Appeared at County Clerk's Office. About 13W electors have registered at the County Clerk's office in the five days that the registration books have been open. Four-fifths of them are Repub licans, thus showing that Democrats are taking little interest thus far in their conlng primaries, compared with their Republican brethren. A few electors have refused to declare tnelr party affinity and therefore will be barred from participation in the primar ies. Some have refused because they imagined that if they registered as Dem- j ocrats they would be precluded from vot ing for Republicans in the election June C, jor If they registered as Republicans they would be precluded from voting for Democrats. This is not the case, for a person need not register his party affinity to vote in the election any more than iMiforehe direct primary law became ef fective. To urge registration of voters, a com mittee was appointed last night at a joint meetlngof the executive board of the Republican and the Young Men's Repub lican Clubs and precinct committeemen of tho two -organizations. .

An event of unusual interest to Con gregatlonallsts and the Christian pub lic will be the welcome given to Rev. Cornelius 1L Patton, D. IX, at the First Congregational Church, of this lty, this afternoon and evening. Dr. Patton is the home secretary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions.

KEEP CELLAR DOORS CLOSED Civic Improvement Board' Will Have Clear Sidewalks. The next steps to be taken by the Cham ber of Commerce civic Improvement board will be after the merchants and wholesal ers who allow the cellar doors, which open on the sidewalk In front" of their places oT business, to remain open when not necessary- They say that oftentimes the doors are kept open all day, much to the annoyance of pedestrians, when the passages arc not used more than two or three hours. It is claimed that in most cases when goods are moved into the cellar In the morning through the opening in the side walk and more goods are expected in the afternoon, the doors are left. open. The members of the board nav thev ham no objection to the doors remaining open as t long as at is necessary. When you feel all tired out and broken up generally, take Hood's Sarsapaxllla. Interesting Talk ENGAGE IN A GENERAL FIGHT Sailors and Longshoremen Have Trouble on Front. The sailors who are loading the barkentine T. P. Emign became in volved in another quarrel with the longshoremen yesterday with the re suit that one member of tho Sailors' Union and two of the Longshoremen's Union were put under arrest. The trouble satrtcd at Front and Burnsido streets, near the headquarters of the two unions and seems to have been a sort of running fight up Burnside as far as Third street. The sailors say they were on their way from their hall to the Portland mill when several longshoremen attacked them. The lat ter assert that the sailors were the aggressors. No blood was spilled, tnought the mix-up was a general one. The combatants were soon separated. On complaint of the longshoremen, S. Nelson, a sailor, was arrested on a chargo of disorderly conduct. Agent D. W. Paul furnished the bail on which he was released. The sailors then turned the tables on their opponents and Charles Buck swore to a warrant accusing Andy Madsen, secretary of the Longshoremen's Union, and John Murphy, another longshoremen, with assault and battory. These men were also released on cash bail. All of them will have a hearing in the Municipal Court this morning. Buck was arrested last Friday for drawing a revolver on a party of longshoremen at the Port land mill and his case will also be heard this morning. WILL TAKE UP LAND FRAUDS Federal Grand Jury Will Reassemble In April. The long lull that has been hanging over the Federal building is about to be broken and In a short time the corridors will echo to the tread of land fraud wit nesses and hear again the edicts of the Federal grand jury. Francis J. Heney, United States Dis trlct Attorney, has reached San Fran' cisco from Washington and will remain there for a few days attending to- the accumulation of private business that has piled up since he was appointed to take charge of the investigation into the Ore gon land frauds. The grand Jury will reassemble on Sat urday April 1 for the land fraud invest! gallons. During the time the Jury has been adjourned T. B. Neuhausen has been delving into the evidence being gathered by the Government and now has on hand a mass of material which must be sifted and arranged before it is ready to present to the jury. For this reason it will be necessary for Mr. Heney to be in Portland three or four days prior to the assembling of the jury In order that he may get a line on the work done in his absence. He Is therefore expected to reach Portland either March 27 or the day following, to take up the last end of the work to be done by the Govern ment, as far as the investigations are concerned. IS OPPOSED 'TO ANNEXATION. Mount Tabor Objects to Part of Dis trict Being Taken. Since the residents of that portion of Mount Tabor, affected by the annexation bill, which only takes in part of the school district, learned that they had no vote one way or the other, sentiment against annexation to Portland has been growing to a considerable extent. Another objectionable feature Is that while a large portion of the district is taken Into the city the district itself remains indepen dent and outside, the same as it now stands. In the Mount Tabor District No. 5 are -now three school buildings, and 550 papilsattend. Two classes graduate each year, and a percentage of the grammar- grade graduates attend the Portland High School, and the Portland Board of Edu cation may charge all outside pupils tui l "f Mojint Tahor should ha n"W under the present bill the tuition to the High School would remain the same as It is at present. However, whether part of the district Is annexed to Portland depends on how the people of Portland vote on the subject. C. H. Welch, who lives In part of the district left out, said yesterday that the present plan of annexation was not satisfactory to a great many with whom he has talked. 'We should all come In, or none, says Mr. Welch. TOR "WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY Corporation Formed to Raise. One Hundred Thousand Dollars.

Sheriff Word says he will sue Multno mah County to recover J SCO with which to pay Jasper Fuller, the guard In the War wick Club; George Wise, who acted as guard in the Portland Club In January last, and several other bills in connection with gambling raids. Tho County Court recently declined to pay the bill on the ground that there was no law authorizing the payment of guards, in gambling- houses. Judge Webster says if the Sher iff finds it necessary to close gambling houses he can do so by locking the doors. Sheriff Word says he has instructed his attorney, Henry E. McGinn, to prepare a complaint against the county for the amount due. He states that he has caused tho gam blers to pay fines aggregating over 53000. and the county can therefore well afford to pay this bill. Judge Webster's answer simply is that there is no law for It Big Rush of Colonists.
