etreet, or the superintendent in the build
ing: A Crxmzxai. "With a Record. Charles
Landraws. the man in custody for snatching-
a purse containing $60 from Mrs. D. P.
Thompson, Wednesday afternoon, is one
of the notorious criminals of the Coast.
He was discharged from the Oregon peni
tentiary less than one tveek ago, and "when
arrested protested, because, "when dis
charged, the state did not ffive him. more
than a suit of clothes and $5. He wanted
enough to go to San Francisco. Land
rews has spent about half of his 50 years
of life in prisons. He has served time in
San Quentin, and years ago was consid
ered an expert crarl:sman. He was also
on the road at one time, and held up
more than one stagecoach. He was
prompted to snatch the purse of Mrs.
Thompson by overhearing a remark the
lady made to her companion, while walk
ing behind them. lirs. Thompson had
been out to pay a bill, and was telling
Airs. Gilliland that she did not find the
party in. The tblef came to the conclusion
that, if the party was not in, Mrs. Thomp
son must have some stuff in her purse,
and, rushing forward, grabbed It. A state
ment made that the men who were instru
mental in capturing the thief demanded
pay for their services Is false. Mrs.
Thompson proffered them some money,
but they refused to "accept it, and only did
so when Mrs. Thompson insisted that they
yhould. Yesterday Landrews waived ex
amination in the municipal court, and will
probably plead guilty when brought be
fore Judge Stephens. When he returns to
Salem1 it will be for a term long enough to
keep him in seclusion for a number of
years.
Elks axd Valentines. The Valentine
party given last night by the Portland
Elks, at their handsome hall in the Mar
quam building, wa3 one of the successful
social affairs of the season. The attend
ance was unusually large and the hun
dreds of invited guests who availed them
selves of the 'hospitality of the Elks were
profuse in their praise of the effort to
entertain them. Exalted Ruler D. Soils
Cohen made a few introductory remarks,
followed by Mr. C. H. Hunt, lecturer of
the lodge and chairman for the evening.
Mr. Charles Mathews gave a reading,
Thomas Getz appeared in a character
sketch, and Miss Mamie Gill, the Ladies'
Mandolin Club and Mr. Ralph Hoyt fur
nished the musical portion of the pro
gramme. The opening of the postoffice,
appointment of a postmistress and letter
carriers, prepared the way for a carnival
of fun. There was a valentine for every
one, and a dozen for some, and the car
riers did not forget to collect postage on
every missive delivered. The office would
close on the arrival of every mail, and in
a few minutes a fresh batch of valentines
would be In the hands of the fair carriers,
who seemed vossessed with a wonderful
faculty of finding out the parties to -whom
the envelopes were addressed. At 10:30
o'clock the floor was cleared and dancing
begun, most of the guests remaining to in
dulge in the recreation until after the mid
night hour. The ladies' committee, which
so successfully arranged " the valentine
party, were Mesdames Upson, Ockerman,
81iter, Mays, Keeley, Misses Cornelius,
Clute, Sllter and Gradon.
Donnelly Again in Trouble. John
Donnelly, a Portland-raised boy, who en
tered upon a criminal career here years
agowisninder-arrcsfc injSan E,rancisco,ior
ldbbery, and Is booked for a long term
of servitude In a California prison. Dur
ing the time he was in Portland he was ia
trouble most of the time, and twice put
in charge of the Boys' and Girls' Aid So
ciety. In 1833 he was arrested, with a
man named Lewis, for robbing the resi
dence of Mr. Louis Chemin, and sent over
the road for four years. Governor Pen
r.oyer commuted his sentence to a term
in the reform school, from which he soon
escaped, and has now three years due at
the penitentiary. While in Seattle, Don
nelly wis caught In the act of robbing a
man, and, resisting arrest, was shot in the
stomach. He and his partner, named Ken
ard, were sent, to the Walla Walla prison,
and, when his time expired, he went to
San Francisco. In that city he joined a
gang of thieves, whose bold operations
gave the police a great deal of trouble.
The officers of that city sent here for in
formation concerning him, and Detectives
Holsapplo and Griffin furnished a record
of "Kid" Donnelly that will win him a
life sentence in San Quentin.
Tub Right to Labor. Mr. J. G. Day,
the contractor for construction of the
locks at the Cascades, was among the
visitors to Portland yesterday. Mr. Day
does not seem to be much worried by the
effort of Teesdale, Shreffler and others to
secure the enforcement of the eight-hour
law through the arrest and prosecution of
his son, I. X. Day. He says that in the
contract between him and the war depart
ment the usuil eight-hour requirement
was stricken out before it was signed.
The reason was that the provision was
not enforceable by the engineer depart
ment, or any of its officers, but it must
come before the ccurts in the regular
manner. Mr. Day thinks the constitu
tionality of the law is doubtful, because,
he says, it is man's Inalienable right to
labor when and where he pleases, and It
has not been discovered how an employer
can be successfully charged with crime
for allowing his fellcw-citizcns the priv
ilege of exercising their inherent rights.
George Hbintz as an Author. George
W. Helntz, formerly a well-known Port
land boy, and now connected with one of
the largest railroads at Salt Lake City,
has in the Magazine of Travel for Feb
ruary, under the noni de plume of George
"V iller. a pretty little sketch entitled. "At
Cralgellachles," The story Is very pret
tily written, and relates to an old French
man, who, witlf his daughter, kept a
quaint hostelry in Selklrks mountains ere
the iron horse of the Canadian Pacific
penetrated the solitudes of that region.
The delightful surroundings with which
Mr. Helntz clothes his sketch makes Inter
esting to a maiked degree what would
otherwise be a pleasant story, except as
to finale. The story is well written and
displays a fund of well-chosen, though not
overdrawn, sentiment.

Bad Poetry and Worse Pictures. St.
Valentine's day was duly celebrated in
Portland by the usunl number of parties
and by the sending" of many missives, ten
der, sentimental and otherwise most of
them considerably otherwise. Letter-carriers
reported a material increase in the
quantity of the mail, but they shouldered
their added burdens cheerfully, no doubt
thinking that Cupid could not get along
very well in this workl without some kind
of a Mercury. The comic valentines this
year were just as ugly and horrifying as
ever. The alleged poetry was no better
and no worse. It was no worse, because
it couldn't be.
One Week More. The people of Port
land will be pleased to learn that Mr. W.

They Gave Pictures Fitou Lite. A
Valentine party was given at Arlon hall
last e-enlngundertheauspices of the ladles
of the Unitarian church. It was largely
attended, and was a highly enjoyable so
cial event. The hail was very effectively
decorated, large red hearts being partic
ularly conspicuous. After a remarkably
unique and .nteresting programme, the
floor was cleared for dancing, which con
tinued until midnight, dainty refreshments
being served meanwhile at little tables set
in the balcony. The programme consisted
of "Pictures From Life," living charac
ters being introduced en tableaux, cos
tumed and posed in close imitation of
some of the society pictures In "Life,"
by Artists Gibson, Johnson, Wenzel and
others. The witty dialogues accompanying
these pictures were rendered by the char
acters themselves. There were 19 of these
pictures, and they were so novel and amus
ing that most of the guests would have
been glad if there were double the num
ber. Following are the members of the
ladies' reception committee: Mrs. Burrell,
Mrs. Eliot, Mrs. Knowles, Mrs. Card,
Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Ross.
Street-Cars Temporarily Delayed.
Because of a break-down in the machinery

SCHOOL DIRECTORS MEET
Protest by Taxpayer ARnlnst an As
signment of Classes.
A special meeting of the board of school
directors was held last evening. Chair
man Thompson presided and all the mem
bers of the board were present. City Su
perintendent Pratt and District Clerk Al
len were also in attendance. The meet
ing was held for the purpose of rearrang
ing classes on account of the crowded
condition of some of the schools.
A cdmmunication, signed by 47 taxpayers
living in South Portland, was read, re
monstrating against their children, who
attend the Failing school, being deprived
of a school term and forced to take a
higher grade of studies unprepared. They
also objected to the classes being broken
up and disorganized by sending part of
one class to the Harrison-street school.
Still another objection was made to the
crowded condition of the Failing school,
and the fact that there are overtaxed
teachers, while there is one vacant room
in the Failing building. The signers of
the petition asked that a committee be
appointed to investigate the matter. Su
perintendent Pratt explained that there
were 24 pupils in one class, and. knowing
the disposition of the board to economize,
he had thought it best to send one half
of these pupils to the Harrison-street
school, the other to be combined with a
class at the Failing school, thus saving
the expense of one teacher. He had done
this and, as a result, had his hands full
explaining the causes to parents. He
thought Professor Rosseter, perhaps, had
precipitated the matter by saying to the
remaining 12 pupils that they would have
the privilege of taking two classes. The
12 pupils sent to the Harrison-street school
were probably incensed at,not being given
the same privilege, thinking those remain
ing at the Falling school were being bet
ter treated than they.
Director Williams did not understand
what was meant by taking two classes
at once, and Director Miller explained that
it was forcing one year's work on the
pupils In six months.
Director Roby The petition assumes
something that 5s not a fact.
On motion of Director Williams, Chair
man Thompson was appointed as a com
mittee of one to investigate the matters
and report to the board.
Miss Minnie E. Call, teacher of the 5th
grade, Brooklyn school, was transferred
to the charge of a similar class in the
Williams-avenue school.
Chairman Thompson and City Superin
tendent Pratt were appointed to select a
teacher to take charge of the fourth
grade. Portsmouth school, for remainder
of the term, to serve on half pay.
Miss Knte A. Qulgg was appointed as
teacher In the Central and Xorth Central
schools, and Miss Meta, G. Brown in the
Williams-avenue and Holladay schools.
On recommendation of Superintendent
Pratt, a room in the Clinton Kelly school
was ordered furnished with a stove and
benches, and Miss E. Kern, pupil teacher,
was assigned to recitations in such room
WHO IS THE WOMAN.
Ellsworth, Alleged "Wife-Poisoner,
and. Ills Alleged Lady Friend.
"Walter E. Ellsworth, prisoner at the
central police station, charged with poison
ing his wife bj- giving her a dose of
strychnine last Sunday morning, considers
himself a greatly persecuted individual.
He still maintains that he is entirely inno
cent of the terrible charge, and thinks
that his wife must have committed sui
cide by carrying out a threat made by her
that some day, when suffering from an
attack of headache, she would kill herself.
Since the arrest of Ellsworth It has been
more or less rumored that his infatuation
with another woman possibly prompted
him to poison his wife. However true
this may be, it is cei tain that there is no
foundation in the rumor that the woman
In the case was the one employed as pian
ist during the representations of Pha
raoh's Daughter, in which illusion Ells
worth had an interest. The young woman
thus referred to Is Miss Myrtle Hotchkiss,
a prepossessing girl of 19 years, who has
lived with her parents in this city since
they came from Omaha, three years ago.
Miss Hotchkiss is possessed of musical
talent, and, to enable her to secure funds
in order to cultivate her voice, she had ac
cepted such employment as pianist as
she could secure in an honest and re
spectable way. Upon the recommendation
of Mr. Adams, late manager of the Mar
quam Grand, Richard Xorris, a partner of
Ellsworth, employed. Miss Hotchkiss to

Ellsworth had a wife, but had never met
her. The parents of Miss Hotchkiss were
greatly distressed over the rumors con
necting the name of their daughter with
Ellsworth, and her father is particularly
indignant over the half-whispered rumors.
Another woman whose name is also be
ing mentioned in connection with the case
is Miss Maud Everson, of Oakland, Cal.,
who is now one of the chorus girls that
were left in Portland when the Pyke opera
company disbanded. For about 10 days
Miss Emerson was the "Pharaoh's Daugh
ter" of the illjsion exhibited on Washing
ton street. She proved quite an attrac
tion, and her ringing of the "Idol of My
Heart" brought many to see the illusion
over and over again. Miss Everson said
yesterday that she had no business with
Ellsworth whatever while employed at
the exhibition. Mr. Xcrris engaged her,
paid her salary, and. beyond passing the
compliments of the day, she never spoke
to Ellsworth.
The arrest of Ellsworth has caused the
closing up of the exhibition, and the para
phernalia of the show has been stored
until Mr. Xorris determines where he will
next go.
Ellsworth will appear in the municipal
court today for preliminary examination,
but it is probable that the state may not
be ready to proceed and will ask a post
ponement. Acts quicker and goes fruther than any
other Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder.
SNAGS IN THE KOOTENAI
Captain Synions Recommends Im
provement jf the River.
Following is the report of Captain
Thomas Symons. United States engineers,
duly Indorsed and forwarded to General
Casey," chief of 'engineers: ' " "'
"General: I have the honor to submit
the following report in reference to the
Kootenai river, required by your letter
of September 1, 1S9J. The terms of the
law relating to this item are as follows:
" 'The secretary of war is hereby directed
to prepare and submit plans and estimates
for the improvement of the Kootenai
river, Idaho, as recommended by Cap
tain Symons in the preliminary examina
tion submitted, by him under date of Oc
tober 12, 1S92.'
"The substance of my report on the pre
liminary examination was that the Koot
enai river was worthy of improvement, to
the extent of removing the snags in the
river which are dangerous to navigation
or liable to become so.
"Investigation reveals the fact that the
condition of the river is practically the
same as when my former report of Oc
tober 12, 1S92, was written. There is a
large but uncounted number of snags,
which Interfere to a greater or less ex
tent with navigation. There is a number
of trees along the banks, which are being
undermined, and will soon be in the river.
It is believed that the best and most
economical method of removing these
snags and overhanging trees will be by
hiring one of the steamboats on the river,
provided with a steam "capstan and with
an ample supply of lines and blocks, to
de the work. Such a boat, in connection
with a liberal supply of giant powder
for breaking up such snags as are be
yond the power of the boats to handle
otherwise, will enable the work of clear
ing out the river to be done expeditiously
and cheaply.
"It is estimated that a boat properly
rigged up will require about three months
to remove all the snags and overhanging
trees between Bonner's Ferry and the
boundary line. Such a boat, with a full
crew, will cost about 31200 per month.

FRUITS OF THE NORTHWEST
An Attractive Bulletin fcy tke Great
Northern. Railroad.
The Great Northern railroaH has just
Issued, in connection with the O. R. &. X.
lines, an elaborate special fruit number of
the bulletin which it has been customary
to publish monthly during the past sev
eral years. It is devoted to the fruit in
terests of the Pacific Xorthwest, and com
prises 32 clearly-printed pages, magazine,
size. It is puolished on fine book paper
and embellished with a greatonany en
gravings and other illustrations. In
make-up and general appearance the bul
letin is unexceptionable; in matjter it pre
sents a great variety of Interesting and
useful information about te frujt inter
ests of Oregon, Washington ahd -Idaho.
Among the Illustrations are a; frontispiece
of immense Hood River apnles, half nat
ural size (the weight of the apples, being
three pounds); a heavily-laden pear tree,
seven years old, on the Snake river; a pip
pin apple tree at Snake- river; a, three-year-old
peach tree In Wenatchee valley,
Wash., and lrany others otnhe kind,
which are designed to show the best de
velopment of the fruits of the various
sections.
The subject matter of the "bulletin covers
every branch of the fruit Industry. All
the important fruits prunes, peaches,
pears, apples, cherries, grapes, berries,
etc. are discussed at length. Instances
of average growth and of exceptional pro
duction are given. Tnere are useful hints
in several articles as to the most ap

Is overlooked. The whole makes a most
complete and attractive compendium of
the horticultural industry of the West.
The general article on this country, un
der the title, "An Orchard Land," is in
part as follows:
"The Pacific Xorthwest, treated solely
as a region for the growth of fruits, is a
stretch of country equal in area and in im
portance and variety of natural resources
to some of the great kingdoms of Eu
rope. The mighty Columbia and its many
tributaries drain this vast territory, and
the tiles of earth's largest ocean lave
1500 miles of frontage. Xo such salt and
fresh-water privileges exist elsewhere on
our planet. It seems but yester
day that the vast Inland Empire was a
mere stock range, and all the country west
of the Cascades but scantily inhabited,
and its trade only of a local nature. What
progress has been wrought in 10 years. Is
It not possible that the next decade may
also show remarkable improvements? Ten
years ago the fruit industry was practi
cally unknown. Xow experience has
proven that the fruit lands of Oregon and
Washington equal any on earth in variety
and quality of production. Enough is
known to show that there must be a splen
did future for the business, and the man
who fears over-production does not realize
the situation. There can never be too
much of the best. Elsewhere we give the
opinions of prominent horticulturists upon
this most important and much-discussed
subject.
"Each of the coming years on the Pa
cific coast will unfold new industries and
enlarge old ones. Great cities must grow
up in the midst of such varied resources,
and employ human labor. There will not
only be home demand, but the mountain
states and the East, the islands of the
Pacific and the Orient will call for its
staples. Those who have studied the ques
tion believe that Washington and Oregon
will ship each year from now on millions
of dollars' worth of choice cfrults to dis
tant markets, and "thtSij introduction will
show the world au excellence and super
iority sure to create a constant and relia
ble demand.
"Apples grow in size, color, flavor, aroma
and shape unknown in most states. There
is no competition on the continent in the
production of prunes and plums. The ex
cellence of cherries grown in .the Pacific
Xorthwest is a surprise to every visitor.
They grow In clusters like grapes. All
trees are given to fruitfulness, and need
regular pruning to prevent the excess of
fruit from breaking down the limbs. Bet
ter pears are not grown anywhere. Ber
ries can be made to yield in such quanti
ties as to meet not only the demands of
commerce with Pacific ocean countries,
but also to fill the cal! of Eastern and
European markets. Peaches and grapes
succeed well in localities sufficient to sup
ply an immense demand. The world's
markets are open to fruits fresh, dried,
preserved, canned, jammed and jellied."
