Reservoir Htstert Solved. The cross cat connecting the two tunnels run in from the west side of reservoir Xo. 3, in the city park, to ascertain if possible -what caused the damage to the linings of the reservoir, has been completed, and the mystery in regard to the trouble has had some light shed upon it. If it has not been satisfac torily explained. In running this cross cut, at a point west of the place where the first movement of the lining of the reservoir was obsered. and where the buttress was built to retain It, a pooket of water was tapped, which has been run ning about 10,000 gallons per day for five or slz: days. The subterranean reservoir has been filled by water which penetrated the seamy rock and accumulated in the stratum of clay which retained it. The weight of all this water has doubtless been sufficient to cause the cracking of the reservoir lining, and when arrange ments are made for draining this pocket there probably will be an end of the trouble. Maps have been made, showing the various strata through which the tun nels have passed, and these show that a in past ages there has been a deep gulch there which has been filled by deposits brought down by flocks. A piece of the limb of a tree was found among the ma terial taken out. which consists of clays of different color. A small pocket of water was tapped shortly after the tun nel was commenced, but it did not contain enough to amount to anything serious. Tho tunnel is being continued across the upper end of the reservoir, and drain pipes wi'l be put in to carry oft any ac cumulations of water, and prevent further trouble. Lixnd Seekers Fnoir Omaha Here. 'An excursion parly, which left Omaha on the 14th, consisting of persons who are Intent on examining lands and ascertain ing the prospects for locating colonies in the Northwest, arrived here last evening. The party has been reduced in numbers flnce it started, as members dropped off nt various points along the road. Those who came on here will go up the Willam ette valley, and some probably as far as ltoseburg. Oregon is not at her best Just now. but any part of Western Oregon will compare rather favorably with any part oi iseorasKa, and the visitors cah hardly help being favorably impressed with the climate, and by seeing farmers at work in the fields as they pass through the country. The visitors are on much the same errand as those Moses sent over into Canaan to spy out the land. No Oregonian would be willing to acknowledge for a moment that this state was In any way inferior in fertility or productions to the land of Canaan, but it Is very doubtful if these Fples find any bunches of grapes here so large that It will be necessary to hang them on a pole to be carried on the bhoulders of two men, and, if the fact that suh clusters of grapes were found in Canaan were not authenticated by a pic turc in the bible, showing the two men carrying the grapes, any Oregon grape grower would express unbelief in regard to the story. Captain Louhahd' ArroiNTMENT. Gov ernor Lord on Saturc'ay Inst appointed Captain John E. Lombard port warden for the port of Portland. Captain Lom bard's knowledge of all matters pertaining to ships and shipping and his experience as marine surveyor particularly qualify him for this olHec. whloh Is a, very neces sary one in a port where there is so much thlppmg. The principal duties of a port warden are to make examination In case the cargo of any ship is damaged, and to decide whether the damage has been caused by the rnsklllful stowing of the cargo or through causes for which the , captain or owners of the vessel are not to blame. Should he decide that the dam age was caused by bad stowing or any thing of the kind, no insurance would be paid on the goods damaged. The odice has been filled for several years by Mr. 2'rank T. Dodge, whose other duties will rot longer alliw him to hold it. The or Jlec is not a salaried one, the warden re ceiving only fees for his work. Chinese SociKTr Banquet. The mem bers of the Hip Song Tong, a Chinese benevolent society, pave one of their peri odical feasts Ust night at the Kim Sum 2-ow restaurant. From a Chinese stand point it was a great function, four large circular tables being surrounded by the K -ests. The women were seated Imme diately behind those of their choosing and itemed to enjay the dinner as much as those nearer the food. The society is in n flourishing condition, and, after provld irg for the necessities of their poorer trothers, "blew In" the contents of the treasury In a big dinner. A Chinese string band and the appearance of Miss Ah Choy, p. Celestial songstress, were among the expensive auxiliaries of the feast that j roved a gret attraction to the partakers jf the Hip Song hospitalities. H.jd Sbason kor SrORTf-MEN. This is the tluil reason for sportsmen, as the game Is mne, and the fish have not come in sea pin jet. On a bilmy spring day like yes tcrlay. the sportsman feels the blood rulslng through his veins with renewed ourgy, and says to his chum. "This Is a fine da : let's go out and kill some thing." Just vhat to kill is the conun drum which was solved yesterday by two yports by going over to sit on tho bank of the mighty Columbia and fish for trout. They thought this better than bobbing for suokers oft the wharves; that is, it appeared more sportsmanlike. If they did r.Jt tatoh so many fish. PrVlJ-lAR INFRINQBMBNT OP MARINE 1 aws. John S. Coke, collector of the port at "oos Bay, has repcrted to the United S'ates district attorney that he fined W. 11. Lockwood. master of the steamer An telope, $3$ for carrying on other business and employment with his steamboat than that which she was especially licensed for. According to the United States maritime laws, a steamboat licensed to da one class of freight bulsness may not engage ia another, without committing an 1". fraction of laws. For Instance, a steam boat licensed to curry articles of produce would violate the law it loaded up with p'g 'ron, machinery, etc. UK. A. J.

Lumbermen Want Legislation. Lum bermen complain of the difficulty of secur ing any legislation for their beaeSt in this state. They did get a law passed for the improvement of rivers which allowed any one improving a stream so that logs could be rafted down it, to recoup him self by charging "toll" on logs other per sons might raft down the improved stream, but they say the law is no good, because it attempts to Include tidal waters, which cannot be done. They say, further, that a law passed to enable persons own ing timber land back from a stream to condemn a right-of-way so that they could get their log3 into the water, was declared unconstitutional, and consequent ly the ownars of such land are at the mercy of those who own the land along the stream, r.nd this greatly depreciate the value of land a short distance from a stream. Now they have a bill before the legislature providing for an official scaler of logs, and they begin to fear that this will not be passed. Most of tho saw mill men here are desirous of having such an officer appointed, and lumbermen claim that for want of sucn an official some of them have suffered gieat Injustice anl loss. They say that over in Washington there Is no difficulty in securing proper and needed legislation, and in consequence the lumber business Is more prosperous there. MR. HARRlNOTON'fi PROSPECTIVE STOCK Range. Among the crowd of cannery-men and fishermen collected at the Portland hotel yesterday to learn the result of the deliberations of the Joint and standing fish committees of Oregon and Washing ton was Mr. Harrington, of Pillar Rock, better known among his associates as Lord Dunmore. He was inclined to take a gloomy view of the future of the salmon fishery business and the effects of con current legislation, and intimated that he bhould dispose of his fishing Interests and go Into the grazing business. A friend re marked that he could have cattle on a thousand hills on his Pillar Rock domain. He replied that from the highest point on his ranch he had seen a thousand hills with one steer on- them, and that this steer could olimb one hill and eat the grass on throe or four surrounding ones. When the steer wished to descend he had to go down stern first, like a bear down a tree. Mr. Harrington thinks he can feed his cattle In winter on dried dog salmon, as he has seen this done on the Faro islands. It Is to be hoped ie will not conclude to have a dairy annex to his cattle ranch, for butter from cows fed on dried dog salmon would tlen be put on the market in competition with oleomargarine, and the results would be awful to contemplate. Movements or Ocean Steamers. The steamer Signal arrived from British Co lumbia yestjrday with a cargo of coal and merchandise. She brings no Chinese passengers this trip, to the great relief of the customs officials, and the disappoint ment of some of the legal fraternity. The ship British General arrived up In tow of the Hayward, and was anchored oft abreast the elevator; at all events, when last seen the Hayward was wriggling hr around there as If searching for a soft spot for her to drop her anchor in. The Columbia railed for San Francisco last night. Purser Beamis says he is able to accommodate the travel now without making up beds on the floor, but he gen erally puts a few on the floor to remind them of old times. A Ttpicaii Chinese Market. The Chi nese market on the Alder-street sidewalk, between Second and Third, is about the liveliest place around town on a Sunday. The liveliest things there are the big pike and suckers, which, while kicking out their lives In big tin pans, keep up a joy ous clatter on the sidewalk. The Chinese prefer to buy their fish alive and kicking, but when they buy them dead they want them very dead, as can be seen by the phosphorescent porgles and smelt display ed In their stalls, which have an ancient and very fish-like smell. They would, however, be preferred by most peoplto odd and unknown portions of the viscera of pigs, which are considered delicacies by the heathen. A Chance for the Better. "A change Is good once in a while, even if It Is for the worse, but it Is better when It Is for the better." This remark was made by a man yesterday on seeing a banner hung out on the outer walls of the old council chamber on Ash street. After the room being so long cccupled by the council, the meetings of the Gospel Union will act as a sort of fumigation of the place, but the beneficial effect will hardly reach the council. It might be well for the Union to be given quarters for a time In the new city hall. For Urr-ER Coixjiwa River Naviga tion. Captain J. T. Troup, who Is spend ing a few days In the city, is on business connected with the building of a steamboat for business on the Upper Columbia, be tween ltovelstoke and NorthporL Some of the boats are now running In that region, and Captain Troup says people who have not been up there have but little idea of tho magnitude of the river there, which for 100 mile"! is broader than any part of the Columbia between Oak Point and the mouth of the Willamette.

There is great rejoicing on the East Side, especlaly in the central district, over the passage of the bridge and ferry bill in Its present form, as published In The Oregonian yesterday. It was read by most every one, ' and comments were generally favorable by those who desire to see the discrimination against the central district done away with. There were some who desired to see a straight proposition to purchase the Morrison street bridge without reference to the Stark-street ferry or question of tolls, and making It absolutely free for cverj thing; but others, more liberal In their views, are satisfied with the prospective destruction of the discrimination agalpst the central section. Those who have ex pressed themselves on the matter of turn ing the management of the bridges over to the county regard it with favor, as they say the entire county is benefited by them equally with the city. The gentlemen who raised the subsidy to operate the Stark-street ferry free for a few mouths, appear to be well pleased over tho situation. They claim it was due laregly to their efforts In demonstrating the needs of free trans portation in the central portion by prac tical experiment that substantial results have been secured. Mr. D. R. Baird, who took an active Interest In raisins the i subsidy, stated yesterday that the first month's subscription was paid promptly and cheerfully by ail the subscribers, and the second month is now due. Several have said they supposed they would not have to pay any more, but Mr. Baird sayw they will be called on to pay the present month, and perhaps the third month. However, the third month subscribed may not be called for. provided the committee on purchase takes action promptly. Want Him to Remain. Although the Portland presbytery has practically dissolved the relations of pas tor and people between Rev. E. A. HoW rWge and the congregation of the Forbes Presbyterian church, of Upper Albina. in order that Mr. Holdridge might enter into evangelistic work, he will remain In charge of the church nearly all through the present year. The congregation is loath to lose him. and still entertain the hope he may yet be induced to reconsider his resignation and remain. The church has greatly prospered under his pastorate, and was recently moved from Lower to Upper Albina. to a more eligible s.: It seems, however, that Mr. Holdridge has entertained a desire to become an evangelist, and seems to think now is the opportune time to engage In that work, but his congregation is under the impression he can do as much good by remaining. Mount Tabor School. The Mount Tabor schools have entered on the second term for the year. In dis trict No. 5. under Professor Sibray, the directors elected another teacher to as sist for the remainder of the year. Miss Burdick being chosen. There was quite an increase in the attendance at the open ing of the present term, and the additional teacher was regarded as indispensable, un der the circumstances. At Mount Tabor district No. IS, under Professor Leather man, there was an Increase in the attend ance of 20 new pupils with the opening of the new term. The lower grades were already overcrowded before tills increase, and another teacher was needed, but the directors did not see their way clear to pay the salary of another teacher, and so did not employ one. The teachers will j do the best they can under the circum stances, although it means hard work for them. "Will Make Flnnl Arrangement. The ministers of the various Methodist churches of thp city, which have formed a union to sustain the revival services of Rev. J. S. Bitler, evangelist, will meet this afternoon In the parlors of the Cen tenary Methodist church and complete the final arrangements for the meetings. Nearly all the Methodist churches of the city will take part in tho proposed meet ings. Miscellaneous Notes. Mr. E. D. Barnes, who has been con fined to his home in Albina by a severe attack of rheumatism, for the past six weeks. Is able to be out. The funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, who died at the home of her son, W. H. Cutler, of Highland, took place yesterda;. from her son's home. A brief service was held at the house. Mr. R. Robertson, of Falrvlew, has taken a contract to supply the O. R. & N. Co. with 60,000 ties. He has already loaded several cars. The ties are being sawed out at Hoyt's saw mill, near Gresham. Edgar Compo, the little boy who ws nearly drowned Saturday evening In the river near tho Morrison-street bridge, remained quite ill during the night, but yesterday was about as well as ever. He had a very close call. Dr. J. W. Bushong conducted an Inter esting "Pentacost" meeting at University Park yesterday, at 10 o'clock, before reg ular services. The big chapel of the university was filled with students and people from the neighborhood. In the evening another big meeting was held, and the attendance was very large. The intersection of East Oak street and Grand avenue was completed Satur day, with an Incline extending from the avenue about 25 feet west on East Oak. This is an excellent piece of work, and there will not be the slightest trouble ocasloncd by the grade of Grand avenue being higher than that of East Oak street. Conntry Notes. Mr. Charles Clagget, whose house was burned at Pleasant Home several weeks ago, is rebuilding. The Troutdale public school will have exercises next Friday afternoon appropri ate to Washington's birthday. The Falrvlew Christian Endeavor So ciety gave a pleasing social and enter tainment in the Methodist church. A pro gramme was rendered, after which coffee and cake were served. Cone Bros, have commenced work on their new saw mill, on tho Sandy, and will have It In operation In the spring. Their logs will be rafted down the Sandy from the timber country. The mumps have been having a .great run all through, the eastern part of the county. For a time at Pleasant Home the school was closed on acount of it. It then broke out at Gresham, and scarce ly any one, young or old, escaped. It visited all the little settlements, until it became a common expression when one friend met another, "How's your mumps?" COL. MITCHELL TALKS. The Adjutnnt-Gcnernl 3Inlccs Reply to Senator A'aadcrburg's Attacks. Adjutant-General Mitchell makes reply to Senator Vanderburg's attack on the state militia so far as it relates to his own office. In the following statement: "The apparent increase in the expenses of the adjutant-general's department, as shown by the document, exhibits the fact that he had nothing to cover up; It also shows that the party who yanked the fig ures out for the broadening of the author's mind did not have access to the books of the aujutant-general, for reas ons of which many of these senators and representatives are aware. If you fool me once, that's your fault: if you fool me the second time, that's my fault. Every public officer has a perfect right, with the permission of the military in vestigating committee, to examine my books, now in the hands of that commit tee, save the person who juggled the fig ures from my report. Of course, I have an idea who it was, and the proofs are coming in. The seeming Increase is ac counted for by the fact that the adjutant general has been under increased ex penses, and has not assumed or attempt ed to assume any increased compensa tion. The work of this office has grown steadily, and the expenses referred to em brace not only those belonging to that office, but also those of the quarter-master-general, the paymaster-general, and, until lately, the chief of ordnance. This office has managed all the details of the purchase of $10,000 worth of uniforms and 'equipment during the past two years. The shipment of the articles to the vari ous points In the state has been attended to by him personally; not only this, but the vast number of Invoices, receipts and j transfers, all In duplicate, have passed throught his office. This office contains lire ioooan, me loru nign cnunceuor, me chief executioner, and various other not ables, all of whom have had to do some work. "The reference In the paper referred to. section 13 of the law, shows duplicity and intent to deceive and ignorance of other requirements of the law to be found by any one who cares to examine It. The manipulation of the figures of mileage and per diem. Intimating that the per diem have been exceeded, shows to what ex tremes an ill-grained person, intent upon hoodwinking the public, can descend. The whole statement is false, and I challenge the proof to the contrary. Fur thermore, at this stage of the proceedings It is proper to state that my report con tains the figures In gross only, showing the accounts sworn to by the party In interest, and allowed by the board after prope1- proof. The details of all tliet-c accounts are contained In the books of the adjutant-general's office, now under examination by the joint military com mittee. "As to meetings held by the board at other places than Salem, the fact is that they were all adjourned meetings and saved to the state a large amount of mileage, to which the officers composing i the board were entitled, under the law. regardless of the limitation placed upon per diem, which limitation was alwavs observed and followed by the office of the secretary of state, and in no case, to my knowledge, shown by the books of the board, exceeded. Further, it is added that the legality of the board meeting as an adjourned board or for some special purpose was presented to the attorney general, and all doubts as to the legality of the proceedings were removed. "So intent Is the person who wants to get even with the adjutant-general, that he refers to him the 3ccond time, but again I haie to fall back on my books. J Rhlch will show thit at the time the state treasury was low In funds, war rants were drawn in my name; these warrants were transferred Into drafts, and Were used to pay some of the East ern and California contractors for equip ping and uniforming the National Guard, and are not legitimate expenses, charge able against that office. "Referring to the last quarter of 1SH, the assertion that no accounts for that quarter are included in the report Is ab solutely false, as sbown.by the two meet ings of the board held December 22 and 27. "As to the state printer's account, it is fair to say that when I took charge there were but 11 or 12 blank forms in use in the K commands, aside from regimental and other headquarters. It was found necess&ry to prepare others, and today we have In use every one necessary and required 52. At that time there were three books in use. The brigade, the regi ment and the companies were compelled to get up their own books or go without them. The number of books now in use and necessary will probably be disclosed by the report of the joint military com mittee. A complete inventory and exam ination as to their necessity will explain the increase ip the printing. Several hundred manuals are included in this ac count. "The closing reference made to the amounts in the general fund and In the general account shows a set desire to again deceive. The segregation of the accounts made by the adjutant-general, leaving the two sums mentioned In the document referred to. simply shows the amount of goods which he receipted for and did not immediately distribute to the different commands, for various reasons perfectly satisfactory to an officer claim ing some common sense. "The last paragraph or his document is wholly gratuitous, and the assertion is made that It is purposely and recklessly Inaccurate. The cost per capita In this state Is in the neighborhood of ?17, while in our sister states North and South It Is in one Instance $17, and in the other ?G3. W. R. MITCHELL. SOUTHERN SONG BIRDS. A Large Nnmber Turned Loose In This City Recently. The mocking birds received some time since by the association for the Importa tion of song birds, and housed in the aviary on the premises of the late Frank Dekum, have all been turned loose. It was intended to keep them housed until the season was further advanced, but their life In the Sunny South has led them to expect spring about this time, and so they began to pair, and likewise to fight, and were so pugnacious that It would have been a Kilkenny cat case If they had not been released. The birds having all been newly caught, and not accus tomed to confinement, were not used to the food provided, and were very anxious to get out and shift for themselves. When the door of their prison was opened they did not march out In order, a3 the animals did out of the ark, but digged out In pairs and by squads of half a dozen, and at once began looking for the early worm on the lawn, and they found him, too. Some of the pairs soon scattered off, but others remained about the place and apparently hankered after the flesh pots which had been furnished them, for they flitted back into the aviary and helped themselves. Some of them still linger round the place: others have been seen about town, and some have gone afield and have been seen at Fulton, and on the East Side as far south as Milwaukle. As they are active, daring and aggressive, there need be no fear that they will find enough to eat, for they can rustle as well as the robins, blue birds and meadow larks, which are to be seen In all directions, around town now. If they get a squint, at The Oregonian they will probably be surprised to learn that their sunny Southern home, even away down where one roasts in Ala bama's sultry clime. If he-, goes there In the summer time, has been covered with a blanket of snow, and like all emigrants from anywhere they will be thankful that they are In Oregon, where the crops never fall, and all the rest of It.
