CITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Pahttes dcslrinsr offices in The Oregon

Trust Company o Oregon. Ko. 123 First
etreet. or the Buperinteadent in the build
ing'. 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.

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

boat licensed to curry articles of produce
would violate the law it loaded up with

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.

EAST SIDE AFFAIRS.
The PnnsitRc or the IlrldKc. Dili Gives
General Satisfaction.
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.

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.
