CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Parties desiring offices In The Oregon xan building, may Inquire of Portland Trust Company of Oregon, No. 123 First street, or the superintendent In the build- Rteelheads Deft Ice. A few steelhead salmon are now coming to market. These hard-headed Rah are the only ones which come along- on their wayto the spawning- ground when there is Ice and snow. That Is probably why they have steel heads, to enable them to pick their way through the ice. Occasionally a fat Chinook la found In a lot of steelheads, and is quickly snapped up by those fond of fine fish. Notwithstanding the rough weather, the market Is fairly well sup plied with salt-water fish smelt, soles, bass, flounders, etc. as well as with all sorts of clams, crabs and oysters. Trouble for Mr. Robb. Lately a num ber of letters addressed to one Robb, In care of City Treasurer Hacheney, were received at his office. As Mr. Hacheney Is acquainted with Professor Robb, who has a son and also a brother, who Is a surveyor, he thought the letters might be for one of them, and so held them for some time; but, finally, when no one called for them, they were given back to the carrier. Yesterday Mr. Hacheney was somewhat astonished at receiving a call from a person who claimed to be a Tacoma detective, and was looking for the Robb letters. He declined to explain how he knew of the letters, or what he wanted of them, but, as he was accom panied by a lady, who remained In the hall during the detectl-e,s visit, it was in ferred that there was "a woman in the case," and that here was trouble ahead for Mr. Robb or the man who wrote the letters. This world Is full of trouble for some people. The House and the "Wihe. The horse "which was killed Thursday night by a live electric wire at East Burnside and Vnlon avenue, had grown to four horses Yesterday afternoon, and streams of elec tricity were pouring from each calk on each shoe of each horse as high as the jet of water at No. 2 reservoir. At the street superintendent's office application has been made for the removal of only one dead horse from the East Side and one from the West Side, which had died a natural death. The railway company claims that the wire which killed the horse at East Burnside and Union avenue was not a live wire, but merely a tele phone wire in which the horse entangled lis feet, and his struggles caused his death. It is claimed the horse had been working for 14 hours and was nearly tired to death, anyhow. If it is a fact that thq harness was burned off the backs of both horses attached to the hack. It Is to be presumed that there was some electricity around, and "hot stuff" at that, A gen tleman states that, a few days since, a feed-wire of one of the railways on the East Side broke and the end was hanging down in the street, and a. lot of boys were gathered around, having fun with it. They were pushing it with sticks to bring the end in contact with a rail, and when they succeeded in doing this, there was a flash and a report like the dis charge of a four-pounder gun. Just what might have happened If the wire had struck one of the boys can be imagined. A Trip to Europe. Mr. G. P. Rum melin, the furrier, will leave In a short time for Europe, to visit his old home, which he has not seen foi about 40 years. Ho will spend a few days in New York and some time in London, and will attend the great auction sale of furs, which be gins March 18 and lasts-about a week, and at which the price of furs for a largd part f the wos4d is fixed for the year. At these sales all American furs, seal skins, etc., and the Hudson Bay Com pany's furs, aro sold, and they are visited by fur dealers from all parts of the world. Mr. Rummelln will then go to Leipsic, Germany, to attend the great Easter fur sale there, at which European furs, Rus sian sables, abtrachans and Persian furs lire sold. The ootintries of Europe still offtr a large variety of furs, the most valuable being the Russian sable, but the black fox and sea otter of America are also very valuable, and in amount the Alaska sealskins exceed them all. Mr. Rummelln will be gone about three months'. On a Sound-Monet Platform. Dr. C. U. Smith, one of the representatives of Clackamas county, was in Portland yes terday. To a reporter of The Oregonian he talked politics btiefiy. but with em phasis. "I am a republican," said Dr. Smith; "I was elected as a republican, on a sound-money platform, and to that plat form I shall adhore. It Is my intention to vote for re-election of Senator Dolph. I regard the fight that is made against him In favor of free coinage of silver, which the republican party not only has never declared for. but, on the contrary, has positively condemned, as an attempt ed departure from republican principles. In our county, during the campaign, no one doubted that if the republican ticket Bhould be elected the members of the legislature would vote for Dolph." Good men arc not needed in congress wore than good food is in the household. The best food Is made with Dr. Price's Baking Powder. No Bidders There.' At the courthouse estcrday a vain effort was made to sell u number of pieces of property, for de linquent assehsments on "Wood-street gulch sewer. Although well advertised, there were no bidders. Formerly specu lators made purchases of property for de linquent assessments, and made good In terest on their investment. During the rresent hard times they do better with their money. Five and 10 per cent a month, with brokerage included, is much better than peculators can do with de linquent assessment and tax sales. Examinations Ahead. The schools will reopen on Monday, and from that time to tl" end of the term and the examinations wi'l be only five weeks. Superintendent Vratt is already at work preparing the programme for the examination, and the pupils who had a good, long holiday va cation and several days added on account of the storm, will hae to exert them selves for the remainder of the term to conplete the eourse of studies and rc .ew their work in preparation for the examination. Few- Chinese Coming. As showing what a falling off there has been In the number of Chinese coming into this eoun li. it may be stated that during the past six months, from July 1 to December 31, the ni-iber admitted by Collector Black was onl 4. Considering the large num ber of Chinese doing business here, as shown by the fact that they pay from cre-quarter to one-third of all the duties collected at this port, this Is a small r umber. An Cast-Sider Dead. Philip Frieu lar.vier, who died at St. Vincent's hos p'tal January J, was a member of Fi cl!!ty lodge No. 4. A. O. U. W. He had res! led in Katt Portland for the past 12 ; cars, and during this time was engaged li conducting a cigar and notion store. He leaves a widow, but no children.

This loan was secured by 95 different promissory notes, held by the bank. These notes were placed in the hands of W. F. Burrell and Frank Dekum to indemnify John Green, and payments of .$10,000 on the loan were provided to be at any time allowed. Ac cording to the account of receiver O. N. Denny, the amount due John Green is now $70,000. Besides the county warrants deposited with Wells.

Lich, a German woman residing at Sixteenth and Jefferson streets, was arrested by officer Coffin yesterday afternoon on a warrant charging her with petty larceny. As she was apparently too sick to leave home she was permitted to give bail in the sum of 515, all the money she could raie. The information which led to Mrs. Lich's ar rest was furnished the police by her 1-year-old stepson, Ernest, who was taken into custody earlier in the day on a simi lar charge. The little fellow told a sad story, how his stepmother beat him, and forced him out Into the cold to steal milk and fuel, and did not even give him suf ficient clothing to protect his frail body. He was turned over to the custody of the Boys' V Girls' Aid Society, to be held to appear against his stepmother. Other charges of larceny, and probably a charge of assault and battery, will be brought against Mrs. Lich. A New Mining Concern. Articles of incorporation of the Pacific Bureau of Mines Association have been filed with the county clerk. The capital stock Is $100,000, divided into 1005 shares. Incorporators are W. T. Mendenhall. W. J. Lehigh, E. S. McComas, Robert Glen. It is the pur pose of the new company to invite invest ment of capital In the mines of Oregon. It has already elected the following board of directors: F. A. E. Starr, W. W. Baker, Robert Glen, W. J. Lehigh, E. D. TimmB, E. S. McComas and W. T. Men denhall. The entire capital stock Is sub scribed, and the following officers elected: F. A. E. Starr, president; W. W. Baker, first vice-president; W. J. Lehigh, second vice-president; E. S. McComas, secretary; J. P. Marshall, treasurer; W. T. Men denhall, general manager; E. D. Tlmms, attorney for the company. Municipal Court Cases. In the muni cipal court yesterday, William Daly, a notorious morphine fiend and vagrant, was sent up for CO days on a charge of trespass. G. H. Hamilton, a wagon maker residing on the East Side, was tried on a charge of attempting to brain W. M. Nye with a hammer, in a quarrel in his own shop on New Year's day. Hamil ton showed that he had expressed to Nye due repentance for his crime, but that the latter had threatened him with arrest un less Hamilton gave him $20. Judge Smith thought that Hamilton was guilty only of assault and battery, and fined him $15. H. Goodman was fined $10 for purchasing 40 cents worth of second-hand goods without registering the purchase, as required by law. William Wallace and James Fergu son was given 10 days each for roaming the streets after hours. A Few More Copies Left. The Ore gonian has on sale a few more copies of Its great New Year's edition. The sale has been unprecedented, and It has been necessary twice to start the presses to, ishue' extra editions. The general expres sion has been that it is the most com plete edition of any newspaper ever is sued In the Northwest. Great numbers have been sent East to Inform intending immigrants and other persons Interested In Oregon of its resources and industries, all of which are admirably set forth. No important Industry in the entire state was neglected, and all were adequately dis cussed. It Is expected that the present supply will soon be exhausted; so those who wish extra numbers should secure them at once. Stopped bt the Snow. The storm has put a stop to nearly all kinds of work and Improvements, but has made wire-stiing-ing and snow-shoveling prominent in dustries. Work ou the locks at the Cas cades Is at a stand, and is likely to be for some time, everything about the tvorlzs being buried in snow. The delivery of stone at the jetty at the mouth of the Columbia was suspended at the time of the great Northwest storm, and, owing to continued unfavorable weather, has not been resumed. The Portland cordage works are closed down temporarily, be cause most of the employes live at a dis tance and it Is too hard work for them to come to work. For Fruit Visitors. Systematic ef fort Is being made to have the members of the American Pomologlcal Society, which soon meets in Sacramento, come to Portland after the adjournment of the meeting there. It Is hoped that about 400 of the visitors may be Induced to return to their Eastern homes by way of this city. The Oregon Horticultural Society and the Northwest Fruitgrowers' Asso ciation will hold their annual meeting in this city January 21, and local horti culturists will try to have the Eastern people here on that date. A local com mittee has made application to the rail road companies for reduced rates. The clever housewife never complains of Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. It answers her purpose perfectly. Death ok a Pioneer. Mrs. Kirk Shel don has just returned from Pioneer. Clarke county. Wash., where she went to attend the funeral of her father, Joseph Charlton, who died Wednesday. Janu ary 2. Mr. Charlton was 71 years old a; the time of his death, and himself and his wife, who survives him, were pioneers of lS4i. They took up a piece of land on Sarnie's island, containing 660 acres, which they still own. Mrs. Charlton is a sister of John F. Miller, of Salem. Mr. and Mrs. Charlton are well-known pioneers.

Co.'a during their clearance sale. a Snow Shovels, at Going-- & Co., ,14E 1 Third stfceU ' ' Rasiset's Death Accidental. Mr. Charles Oliver, specially deputized by Sheriff Sears, and County Treasurer Lam bert, went to Gilllhan's landing yesterday to further investigate the death of F. H. Ramsey, the; wealthy pioneer who per ished In the burning of his own dwelling Wednesday night. In rummaging around In the ruins of the burnt dwelling, Mr. Oliver found a fine gold watch belonging to the deceased, and a purse containing several gold coins, also keys and other trinkets. A careful Investigation of the surroundings developed the fact that the old man was undoubtedly asleep in his bedroom when the fire started in the sitting-room. He probably never awakened, and his dog, which was very faithful to him, perished with him. Ramsey was a rather eccentric old bachelor, and very fond of whisky. About two months ago, while on a quiet spree, he fell Into an open fireplace, and his fathful dog saved his life by dragging him from the flames. He told the story himself to Mr. Lambert, who acted as his agent In some land deals. Mr. Lambert, while on the scene of the fire, rnado arrangements to have several head of horses on the place taken care of. The inquest will be held at the morgue this morning. Coroner Cornelius Is quite convinced that it was a case of acci dental death. Constable Connor Makes Arrests. On warrants Issued from Justice Geisler's court. Constable Connor last evening ar rested E M. Richardson, cook in a Yam-hill-street restaurant, on a charge of threatening to kill his wife, and C. Romer, charged with the larceny of an over coat, valued at $11, from Con Condon, a scow-dweller. Both men will be sum moned for examination this morning. Erastus G. Smith, professor of chemis try In Beloit college, Wisconsin, writes: I find on examination that Dr. Price s Baking Powder Is as pure as represented, and I do not hesitate to recommend it for household use." Charged Wrrn Larceny. G. Bower, aged 21, was arrested by Detectives Welch and Simmons last evening on a warrant charging him with the larceny of $90 in coin from J. Miller. In default of bail, he was locked up at the central station, to await a preliminary hearing before Municipal Judge Smith this morning. Fire in an Awning. An alarm of fire from box 13, about 7:J0 o'clock last even ing, summoned the department to Barnes fish market, on Third street, between Stark and Washington, where a broken live wire had set fire to an awning. The blaze was trifling, and was extinguished without much difficulty. $10 45 Will But any ready-made suit on the counters of the Brownsville cloth ing house for a few days. W. R. Bishop, agent, i44 and 146 Third street. Intending purchasers of hats or fur nishing goods will do well by visiting Steinbach's clearance sale. AMUSEMENTS. The Tavary grand opera company yes terday closed an engagement In this city that, considering the circumstances, has been attended by remarkable success. The severe weather has been instrumental in keeping a very large number of peo ple away from the theater, but neverthe less every night performance has been witnessed by large crowds, and the two matinees have been fairly well patronized. As a whole, the engagement has been a conspicuous artistic success. The produc tions have been complete In every par ticular. Grand opera has never been pre sented In Portland more adequately or more satisfactorily. The Marquam was fairly filled yester day afternoon at the production of "Car men," the last of the six performances of the company in Portland. The title role was assumed by Thea Dorre. It is not too much to say that Mme. Dorre's inter pretation of this very difficult character was in many respects more artistic than that of any other during the entire en gagement. It has been widely advertised that Carmen is Mme. Dorre's special char acter, and that she has attained fame elseAThcre In its presentation. Those who saw her yesterday are prepared to say that she more than exceeded expectation. She sings excellently, and, more than that, she has unusual dramatic power. Her delineation of the light-heartedness, the fickle gaiety, the passion, and the changing moods of the faithless Carmen were brilliant. Though she retained the words of the Italian libretto, and all other parts were rendered In English, the inconsistency was wholly lost sight of by the electric manner in which Car men gave expression to her passions, feel ings, and desires. It is little enough to say that it was the best Carmen ever seen in Portland. Without disparagement of others, it may be said that Mme. Torre's Carmen was the best and most impressive individual performance during the entire Tavary engagement. It is to be regretted that opportunity was not given for Torre to appear before a larger audience. The Don Jose of Martin Pache was not ably good. His leavetaklng of Carmen, at the end of the third act, was most excellently done; and in the last act, where he kills the faithless flirt, he showed no little dramatic activity. Mr. Pache sings very well, indeed, and he is withal most conscientious in all he does. The "Escamlllo" of Wm. Shuster was very good. The Toreador song In the sec ond act of course brought an encore; and it was deserved, too. Mlchela, the so prano, assumed by Miss Bertini Hum phreys, has small chance in Carmen. Her single solo In the third act was beau tifully sung. The other parts were sat isfactory. As a whole. Carmen compared favorably with any other production of the week. The Tavary company left last night for San Francisco, to open its engagement at the Baldwin. "That Prcclons Bnby" and "TheCIem eneeun Case." The Charles RIggs company, which pre sented "The Galley Slave" and other plays at Cordray's theater last week and created quite a favorable impression, will play a return engagement, opening Mon day, January 7. for the week, presenting Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the sparkling old English comedy, "That Precious Baby"; Thursday, Friday, Satur day (matinee and evening) and Sundav, the famous Parisian romance, "The Clemenceau Case." The Rlggs company has demonstrated that it is an exceed ingly clever company In presenting melo drama, comedy and domestic drama, and it is equally as good In pure comedy. "That Precious Baby" Is one continual howl of laughter from the rise to the fall of the curtain, and "The Clemenceau Case" needs no Introduction to theater goers. Miss Rose Stillman, who appears as Iza, the model. Is said to be a very beautiful and magnificently formed woman, and her performance of the dif ficult role Is generally admitted to be equal to the celebrated Sibyl Johnson. The same efficient cast of players will be seen. PERSONAL MENTION. Mr. W. D. Coolidge. a prominent citi zen of Eugene, is in town. Mr. Sol Abrams, a prominent business man of Roseburg, and ex-postmaster, is in the city. Mr. D. B. Worthington, editor of the Klamath Falls Express, is among visitors to the city. Messrs. Thomas H.

They have just come from Se? atfle, where they closed a hlg deal with shingle manufacturers for, the entire pro duct of their mills for a year. They ex pect to tour the Southwest for pleasure "before returning home. THE COUNTY'S GAIN. The Salary Syntem Makes a Good Showing- for Six Months. County Accountant W. H.
