DrcK-Ht'xnxc Seaeok At Ax Ekd. Sa-jvle's island -was not overrun by duck hunters yesterday, as usual on Sundays, lor the reason that there -were very few ducks to shoot. Captain AV. J. Riley re ceived a letter Saturday from the man In charge of his premises, stating that all the birds had left on Friday for some more genial clime. He had kept the lake open by breaking away the Ice, and about a. thousand ducks had been using them. 1-ut at last they became disgusted, and having wings and no business to detain them, and no luggage to hamper them, they "lit out." Several large lots of ddcks have been received here since the cold -weather sot in, and the lakes freez ing over caused the birds to collect in the open places, where they vere "potted" and sla-jghtered ly the score. There is not likely to be many more ducks here till spring, as those which have flown south riil stay there until they know winter Is past. Some canvasbacks may come In by an J by, as they are now scattered around the bays along the coast. They will have a fishy taste when they first arrive, but if they can find a patch of wapatoes to feed en for a week or two, they will become fat and free from the fishy taste. Some people prefer such a flavor in ducks, and relish fat fixhducks just as well as a jil imp mallard or canvas, but most peo ple prefer to take their fish and duck on Feparate plates. There are some swan ard wild geese still remaining here, but they keep to the rivers, and it is difficult to get a shot at them. Scavenger Newsome Is Blooded. Enoch Newsome, who has been 21 years in the 'avenger business in this city, is the Tloneer in that line, and since Peter Sjkes departed at the ripe age of about 3W) years, is the oldest scavenger in the c.ty. He has attended strictly to business and never made populist speeches on the plaza, nor associated with the Coxeyltes, and as a result Is comfortably fixed, hav ing a rather valuable quarter block on v.hich he lives, as well as considerable other property. He is fond of a good liorse, and his greatest pleasure during pa3t years has been to go out driving on Sunday in a good buggy behind a high-stepping horse. On such occasions Tc wears a fashionable suit and an irre proachable silk hat. He called at the au ditor's office Saturday to attend to some business, and another visitor remarked to him that he did not go out pleasuring bo much as he used to. "No," said he, "the old man is getting along in years, and can't get around like he used to, but when a fine day comes, and I do go out, 1 come out like a man. I'm blooded to the backbone, and believe in making folks think you have coin whether you have it or not." There are many who believe in the came thing, who do not attend to business like Mr. Newtome, and although they put on more style, have not so much coin as he has. "Vht Oranges Are Hicn Priced. The cold snap which destroyed the orange crop In Florida, and entailed a loss of several millions on the fruitgrowers of that state, Is likely tc benefit the orange growers of California to the extent of r.,000,000. Captain T. N. Belcher, who owns an orange grove at Rlvcrdale, Cal., has within the past few days received several letters from persons desirous of buying his crop. Testerday morning he noticed in the dispatches to The Orego rilan that oranges had jumped to a very high priccin New York, and then he un derstood why buyers were so anxious. As his crop Is not yet picked, he is in no hur ry to sell, and will wait to see how high the price goes. California oranges suf fered rather severely from a frost a year or two ago, but while it Is possible. It Is very improbable that there will be any mishaps of that kind this year. Captain Belcher's grove Is In a good location, and 1 e has no fear for his crop now. and hopes to realize something handsome from it. The Blessings or Bull Run "Water. It was fortunate that Bull Run water ias turned on New Year's, for If it had not been, it would probably not have been turned on yet, and citizens .voi Id have beer, drinking muddy Wlllam ttte water, which, since the late storm caused the river to rise several feet, looks like paint, and is about as thick. The storm disabled the Bull Run telephone, and If there had been any delay In turn ing on the water, the order could not have been sent to the headworks for sev eral days. On Thursday It was necessary to send a messenger out to Mount Tabor. He was five hours getting there and back, his horse- having given out when about half way out, and he being compelled to walk the remainder of the way. To have sent a messenger to the headworks would have been practically Impossible. Now, when the Willamette is as muddy as it i possible to make It, the people of Port land are being served with the clear, pure water of Bull Run and they appreciate it. Schools Will Resume Todat. Studies will be resumed In the public schools this morn'ng. Children should be prepared for wading through slush in going to school, for even if the sidewalks are ileared of snow, the crossings and gutters will be in bad condition; and many chil dren have a liablt of getting Into the trow or slus-h If it is possible to do so. and It Is very unwholesome for them to sa in school with damp feet. The children. haUng had a good long holiday, should bo prepared to pitch in" for the remain der of the term, which is only about a month. Tj:e Damaging Sleet. The damage by Fleet on the West Side was nothing com pare 1 to that on the East Side. A strong n:'J told wind blew across the open, level country between Piedmont and Wood stock, causing a heavy coating of sleet, which did great damage to shade and fruit trees, especially peach trees. Rows cf poplars were stripped of limbs and Lrokcii oft, and a patch of 10 acres of joung firs near Kenllworth looks as if a header had been run across it, every tree being broken off about 18 feet from Vie top. AVFURS OF THE L..OJRBRT ESTATE. Ex- e.uOr T. T. Struble. of the Noah Lam bert estate, was Saturday authorized by th county court to loan Jie.008, money of the estate, which he has on hand, to Ladd & T'Hon, for one year. Mr. Struble states that he has the money and does not now recju.r U to pay expenses of the estate, or claims against It, and it might as woll be earning something. The court stipu lated that the loan be made conditional en it? repayment in event of an unfore seen emergency calling for its use. Cost of the Coroner's OFFfcE. Coro ner Cornelius, during the month of De cember, conducted four examinations where he decided no inquests necessary. He also held four inquests. The causes of death in the inquest cases were apo plexy, poisoning, killed in railroad acci dent, and fell from & building. The total expense of the coroner's office was only Sl'AZZ. Broke- His Ankle. William Nelson, a butcher employed at the Franklin mar ket, while carrying a quarter of beef In frcra a wagon Saturday, slipped on the ilushy sidewalk and broke his left leg I ear the ankle. He was placed in a hack an 1 taken to his residence, and will now have something to remember the storm by. Evening Classes in German, bookkeep ing a .d penmanship: second term opens tonight in Y. M.

A big bear recently raided the camp of some Chinese miners on Snake river, while they were all out washing gold on a bar in the river. He made a general average of the stock of provisions, ate up all their pork, preserved ducks, a box of apples, etc, and scattered rice and Cour all over the cabin. Finally he discovered an opium layout, by some means got the cover off a can of opium and, fancying the taste or smell of it, ate enough to put him to sleep. When the Chinese came home to dinner they found the bear still unconscious and snoring like a volcano, and with a rifle blew his brains out. There was a scene of feasting and revelry by night in that camp for a week, and the skin, claws and gall bladder of the bear were hung up as trophies. As one of the Chinese explained to a white neighbor who called: "Bear he heap eat pork, heap eat duck, but opium too muchee for him, and Chinaman heap catee bear you sabee?" Hunter Could Not Give Bonds. A. L. Hunter, under arrest, and confined In the central police station, on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, did not furnish ball as he expected to yesterday. Judge Smith came over from Albina for the purpose of approving his bond, if found satisfactory, but on reach ing the station, found that Hunter had changed his mind. The prisoner proposes to waive examination in the municipal court today, and then furnish ball if he can. His son, Harry, who was expected to surrender himself yesterday afternoon, failed to do so. He is wanted on a simi lar charge, but is out on 52000 bail, await ing examination for perjury. The arrest of both grew out of them being witnesses to establish the death of Richard Banker, thereby enabling his wife to defraud the A. O. U. W. out of $2000 insurance money. Banker will arrive here today from Iowa, in custody of Detective Joe Day. Opening op Y. M. C. A. Night ScnooL. Among the most practical and beneficial features of the Young Men's Christian Association is the evening college, where young men otherwise engaged during the day find an opportunity to increase their efficiency and fitness for positions and larger responsibility, by evening study The classes conducted in the central de partment of the Portland association, 212" First street, this season have been very successful.

Some curiosity has been expressed re garding the passage of a resolution by the Committee of One Hundred, on Satur day, regarding the canvas of votes for the selection of school books. The resolution requests that Governor Pennoyer be asked to postpone the execution of any contract until time be given for a care ful examination of such ballots, and of legal questions arising in the canvas thereof. Governor Pennoyer received a copy of the resolution on Saturday night, and when seen yesterday by a press repre sentative, said: "I will exercise due diligence to see that the law Is fully carried out, and that n. correct tabulation of the votes is made. I do not think that any officer of the board would jeopardize his reputation by being in any way connected with the making of a false return. The ballots by the superintendents and board of ex aminers are public property, and are placed on file, where they can be seen by any one." In regard to the vote of Miss Stevens, superintendent of instruction for Union county. Governor Pennoyer said that her vote will be counted, as she is superin tendent of Union county, de facto and de jure, and the vote of J. L. Carter has been thrown out. The question was sub mitted to judges of the supreme court. and the authority shown was sufficient to warrant her recognition as the rightful superintendent. Tilman Ford, of Salem, also made an argument in her favor be fore the board. Mr. McElroy was not at first satisfied, but he afterward admitted that the vote of Miss Stevens was proper. It was suggested that the attorney-general be asked to give an opinion in the matter, but now that will hardly be necessary, f-s it has been agreed that the vote of Miss Stevens shall be counted. The return of Secretary of State Mc Brlde from the East will result in a full board being present at the adjourned ses sion today in Salem. The votes were all opened on last Wednesday, and while no information has been officially given out. there are well-defined rumors that the American Book Company has been suc cessful in most, if not all of the books submitted for selection. State Superin tendent McElroy has been engaged In making a tabulation of the -votes, and it Is expected that this work will be com pleted today and the result furnished the public. A good deal of interest is manifested as to just what the vote will really show. There have been a number of charges made concerning the manipulation ot voters, and the resort of peculiar methods to secure votes which a detailed state ment of the 41 votes east is expected to reveal, and interested parties are anxious ly waiting a chance to study the returns. Some of the representatives of publishing-houses, who spent some time in Portland, urging the claims of their re spective books, have geee away In dis gust, but others silll remain, tatendhig, to stay until an official announcement of. the vote is made. What they will do after that has not yet been determined- It is claimed that a prominent citizen and taxpayer of Oregon will possibly take a hand In the matter, and apply for an in junction, enjoining the board of education from closing any contract if it is shown that through any undue influence or cor rupt means, inferior books have been se lected, or that through the manipulation of interested parties, the parents in the state are to be made to pay out thou sands of dollars for books, when others equally as good could have been secured' at a far less cost. EAST SIDE AFFAIRS. Householders Moat Keep Their Walks Clear of Snow and Debris. The edict has gone forth and must be obeyed that the sidewalks and streets must be cleared from the numerous ob structions caused by the breaking down of shade trees by the late storm. Captain of Police James is fully determined that all the obstructions must be removed at once. Very little has been done in that direction, although in some portions of the East Side for whole blocks the side walk Is obstructed by broken limbs and trees bent over. It Is not an easy matter for the new officers to notify everybody to clear the debris away, but the work will be pushed until the obstructions are removed. The ordinance specifies that the work must be done by the owner, oc cupant or agent. Free Ferry Running Again. After about half a day's delay the free ferry on Stark street resumed operation yesterday morning at 8 o'clock. The im mediate cause of the suspension was an accident at the East Side approach. An immense tree lodged against the cable and swung hard against the pontoon, pre venting safe landings being made with either the large or small boat, and trips had to be stopped to give time to make repairs. It required considerable time and the service of a large river steamer to pull the log from its lodgment, but it was finally accomplished. It was also necessary to pull up the pontoons, on ac count of the rise of the river. The snow fall prevented this being done quickly. It is hoped there will be no further interrup tion of the free ferry, and that it may be given a full opportunity to demonstrate what advantage it will bring to Central Portland. A Ride In the Country. Dr. D. Raffety was called out to Lent's the terminus of the Mount Scott & Port land railroad, Saturday, and took occa sion to observe the effects of the storm while on the way. It appears evident the storm was far more serious to the east ward than in the city, and that the de struction of fruit trees will prove very great, especially where the trees are nearly matured. Dr. Raffety said that on either side of the road the tall fir trees were blasted from top to bottom, as if struck by a tornado. Large branches were broken from their sides like pipe stems. The further into the country Dr. Raffety penetrated the greater the de struction appeared to be. Fruit trees, he said, were a pitiable sight, fine, thrifty trees being nearly denuded of their limbs from top to bottom. Home Killed. A horse driven by Clarence Lawrence was killed on Union avenue at Sacra mento street, in Upper Albina, Saturday evening. Lawrence was driving along the avenue with a double team, when one of the horses suddenly fell like a log. He had stepped on a live electric wire, and the full force of the current from the street-car trolley quickly extinguished the last spark of life in his body. The other horse escaped without injury. Law rence received a heavy shock, but it was not sufficient to do him any harm. The wire could not be seen, as it was buried in the snow for some distance. As soon as the horse's shoe struck the wire a com plete circuit was made. The body of the animal had not been removed yesterday. Miscellaneous JTote. The officers of Winona tribe. Improved Order of Red Men, will be invested this evening publicly by Fred Kennedy, dep uty great sachem. The tribe closes a very prosperous year, and after rendering a great amount of financial help to its members, the wampum belt shows a bal ance of over $200, which speaks well for the work of the tribe. No worthy mem ber of this tribe has ever been permitted to suffer during there hard times. Charles Hayes, a boy who carries The Oregonian, was attacked by a bulldog yesteroay morning at East Twenty-first and East Gllsan streets, and was severely bitten on the right arm. The animal belongs to Mr. Burns, a railroad man, and has attacked others in a similar manner. The boy was passing the house when the fe rocious juiiinal attacked him, and held on until called off by some member of the family. Captain of Police James is not having a very easy time at present. The tele phone will not work, and there is no con nection with the West Side central sta tion, nor with Albina. He spent a con siderable portion of yesterday in Albina, inspecting that portion of his district. Two officers are sick Hudson and Thom son. The latter, who is a mounted officer, tried to do duty yesterday, but was com pelled to desist after being out for awhile. He was threatened with pneumonia, and the doctor advised him to go home at once. CHINESE UNDER ARREST Travelers by Steamship "Who Fall to Show Their; Ccrtlllcntcs.. On the arrival of the ocean steamship Columbia, at her wharf last evening. Customs Inspector Frank Logan took in custody two Chinese passengers, who failed to show their certificates of regis tration. The arrests were made under the provisions of the federal law deporting all Chinese who have not provided them selves with proper certificates of Identifi cation. Both Chinese were lodged In the central station for safe keeping, and Col lector Black will make their arrest a test case. Once before he caused the arrest of a Chinese, but the federal authorities refused to proceed against him, and he was liberated. The two prisoners now held for deporta tion will be taken before Judge Bellinger, and If they have any right to be in this country they must establish It- Both claim to have the required f ertlficates, but were not able to produce em when de manded by the customs of .clal. They re tained Cecil Holcomb to attend to their case, and today they will likely have a hearing in the United States court. PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. F. R. Coffman, of Roseburg, is in town. Captain W. P. Goodwin. U. S. A., is at the Portland. Mrs. Nelson Bennett, of Tacoma, wife of the well-known capitalist of that city, was among last night's arrivals at the Portland. Mr. G. W. Dickenson, of Tacoma, as sistant general superintendent of the Northern Pacific, is a guest at the Port land, accompanied by his wife. Mr. Dion Keefe, of Walla Walla, passed through the city yesterday, en route for Astoria, where he will assume the super intendency of the city water works in the very near future. Mr. B. Campbell, general freight agent of the O. R. & N., arrived in this city yesterday morning from Spokane. He has been looking after the buslne-s of late on the Washington division of the system. Mr. John J. Valentine, president of Welte. Fargo & Co., and Mr. Homer King, manager, arrived here on the San Fran cisco express at 1 o'clock yesterday morn ing. They came to attend the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Com mercial National bank, which takes place tomorrow. Mr. Valentine Is accompanied by his wife, and after he has completed bis business fccrc. they will go to ihe Sound to visit friends there. Mr. Xing is accompanied by Hs daughter. Miss Gene vieve, who is visiting friends here. Mr. W. H. Hurlburt, general passenger agent of the Oregon Railway & Naviga tion Company, returned yesterday from a trip over the line in Eastern Oregon and Washington. He says there is but five or six Inches of snow on the ground in the wheat belt, just enough to be of most value to the next crop, and growers are correspondingly happy. Mr. G. B. Kennision, judge of the pro bate court at Augusta, Me., was at the Perkins yesterday, and left on his jour ney homeward last night. He has just been up to Victoria to look after the es tate of a wealthy citizen who died there recently. Intestate, leaving unincumbered property valued at 5100,000. Deceased was a native of Augusta, and left there CO years ago to seek his fortune. He was never heard of afterward, until a few months ago, when some of his relatives chanced to sec an account of his death in Victoria. Judge Kenniston was sent here to look after it by the heirs, who are poor people, and he succeeded in settling up the estate very quickly. DAVENPORT IN JAIL. The Linn County Counterfeiter Cap tured by Deputy Humphrey. Deputy United States Marshal George Humphrey arrived here at 1 o'clock yes terday morning on the delayed California express with "Doc" Davenport, charged with counterfeiting, who was arrested eight miles from Lebanon. The roads be ing in a terrible condition when Mr. Humphrey reached Lebanon, Friday evening, and it being impossible to ob tain a conveyance, he employed Joseph Smith and D. D. Shaw, whom, from his experience when sheriff of Linn county, he knew to be the right kind of men, to go out and bring in Davenport. He gave them his pistol and handcuffs, and they tramped out the eight miles, arrested Davenport, searched his house, secured a lot of counterfeit dollars, plaster moulds, solder, scraps of lead and pieces of a bell, and some brass; also a ladle used for melting the mixture for the coins. They then marched Davenport back Into Lebanon, and turned him over to Mr. Humphrey. The only coins Davenport has been making are dollars, of which a dozen or so were .secured. They are rather poor Imitations of the genuine coin. There were no signs of the other parties who, it is said, have been making coun terfeit 510 pieces. Mr. Humphrey and Davenport are old acquaintances. Some ten years since, when Mr. Humphrey was sheriff of Linn county, he arrested Davenport for mak ing counterfeit dollars, and he was sen tenced to ten years in the penitentiary. After he had served out his term, he came back io Linn county, and Mr. Humphrey, as justice of the peace, married him to Mrs. Mills, a widow, who owned a farm. He says Davenport bears him no grudge on this account, but he is not certain how Mrs. Davenport feels about It, and it may be that this is why he sent Smith and Shaw out to arrest her husband. Daven port is a man of some education. He served a term in the army, and wa3 as sistant surgeon at Fort Klamath during the Modoc war. After marrying Mrs. Mills, he started a drug store at Tangent, but did not make a financial success of the business. Lately he has been living on his wife's farm, which Is a very good one, but somewhat incumbered. Just why he again went into the counterfeiting business is not known, but perhaps he had an idea that he could make money to pay off the mortgage. "" STURGEON STEELHEADS. Finn. That Mny be Taken During: the Winter The Prices They Brlmr- The sturgeon fishery Is not amounting to much at present, not more than two tons a week being caught.Tind 'the price has gone- up to C or' 7 'cciiunper"pound, at which there is nothing to be made in shipping them East. The business of shipping sturgeon East commenced six years ago, and has been carried on so actively that the rivers haye been about cleaned of these fish. One year 15,000 tons of dressed sturgeon were shipped, and now there are practically no grown fish left. The rivers have been filled with lines strung with thousands of hooks, and near ly half the sturgeon caught now are scarred all over, showing that they have previously been entangled and hooked, but succeeded in making their escape. If there had been a law allowing stur geon to be caught only during three or four months in the year, there might have been plenty left yet. There are still many young sturgeon to be found, and If they were protected, the rivers might be populated with them again, but it must take a long time for sturgeon to grow to full size. At present the fishermen are turning their attention to capturing steelhead sal mon. There are probably some 75 boats altogether employed irregularly in this fishery, and from two to four tons are caught dally, and shipped East Many fishermen living In scows along the Co lumbia employ themselves in bad weath er in knitting nets, and, when the weath er is favorable, go out drifting for steel heads. Some also have set nets in cover and favorable places, as the snow or ice does not stop these fish from running. The steelheads bring about three cents per pound, and some of the fishermen make fair wages, for this season at least. Derangement of the Liver, with consti pation, injures the complexion.

A controversy exists between Sheriff Sears and County Judge Northup, con cerning the right of the sheriff to collect mileage for serving long-distance papers, and the judge has declined to order the payment of Mr. Sears salary for Decem ber, amounting to 5373, until the matter is settled between them. In criminal cases, where papers, such as warrants, summons and subpenas, have to be served at a distance, the sher iff has no recourse but to serve the documents, and pay expenses, when any are entailed, out of his own pocket. The county judge will not pay mileage, be cause he says the law does not provide for It, and that ends the question. But in civil cases. Sheriff Sears has, he states, been collecting from the liti gants: that is, when a lawyer files a complaint and summons that have to be taken eight miles for service, he collects SO cents mileage for the work. If papers have to be carried to distances like Linn ton, or Latourelle Falls, a little more mileage is charged. The .sheriff states that deputies who are receiving 590 a month could sometimes pay out all they earn, in their own expenses on this long distance service. As for himself he has paid out of his salary a great deal, be sides killing one horse, and he says he does not propose killing another. Mr. Sears says this mileage collected does not interfere with the fees of the county. The county gets all coming to it. The fees due the county for filing papers are col lected, and the money is all turned In. But the county judge, he says, objects to his receiving the mileage, and desires him to bring asuit to determine his right to mileage. "Why does not Judge Northup bring the suit?" remarked the sheriff, yesterday. "He has as much right to as I have. Let him bring the action. As for keeping my salary from me, let him keep it, if he wants to." There appears to be two objections on the part of the county judge, in the dis pute betwpen himself and the sheriff. The county judge declines to pay the sher iff mileage out of the county treasury, by a monthly bill, in either civil or criminal cases, or both. He alleges there Is no law investing him with authority to make such payment. The county judge also re fuses to concede the right of the sheriff to collect mileage from lawyers in civil cases. A suit would doubtless determine both questions. a BUSINESS ITEMS. It Bahr Is Cattlnc: Teeth, Be ear to uss that old and well-tried remedy, airs. TVlnsIow's Soothing Syrup, for children teething-.
