CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Parties deslrinc offices la The Oregon laa building, may Inquire of Portland Trust Company of Oregon. No. 123 First street, or the superintendent in the build ing; "W"nj.AMETTE Mill Rraranxo Agakc The repairs lo-the power plant of the "Wil lamette Steam Mill Lumbering & Man ufacturing Company were completed yesterday, and the first sawing done since the fire, on the 4th day of No vember last, -was upon a log 120 feet long -which has remained standing at the saws ever since the mill closed down. The mill gives employment to some 200 hands, many of whom have found It hard to bear the enforced Idle ness during the winter. The Insurance companies, some 15 or 20 in number, that had policies upon the property destroyed by the fire, have combined together, and have appointed a committee of agents at San Francisco to resist payment of the insurance. upon the technical ground that there is some ambiguity in the language In the policies describing the buildings. The delay In adjusting the insurance has prevented an earlier completion of the re pairs, but the company has taken the oc casion to make some Improvements that render the concern one of the most com plete upon the coast. The mill is operated by means of two Vheelock engines of 1500 horsepower, and a rope transmission sys tem, and has a sawing capacity of 230,000 feet of lumber per day. The hlgfr water last June, followed by the strike, and then the fire, seriously interfered "with business during the past year; but, in spite of the hard times, now that the improvements In the plant have added so frreatly to Its effectiveness, the company looks forward to a prosperous year for all concerned. A Natural Ice CRor. Mr. Robert Smith, manager of the Grand Ronde Lumber Company, is in the city. He says a company has been organized, under the name of the Blue Mountain Natural Ice Company, which proposes to take a hand in cooling the lemonades and other mixed drinks of the Portland people this sum mer, and that it is now shipping here from 10 to 15 carloads of ice per day from Perry. It has been stated that there was no ice made in this region during the past winter, but this appears to be an error, as far as the Grand Ronde country is con cerned, for Mr. Smith says the company harvested a first crop 20 to 22 Inches in thickness, and Is now harvesting a second crop u inches thick, and it has 100,000 tons stored. The very idea is enough to send cold chills down the spinal column of any one, and especially one interested in the manufacture of artificial ice. Meacham and Viamela, on the summit of the Blue mountains, are the coldest places In that region, and Perry Is not far from there. Between artificial Ice and natural ice there is likely to be considerable coolness in Portland next summer. Suicide Montgomery's Children. The orphaned children of H. D. Montgomery, who committed suicide by poison on Mon day, are being cared for at the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society home, where their father first placed them two months ago, when he found that he could no longer make a living for them. The bereaved daughter is 11 years old, and her brother two years older. They were grief-stricken when taken to the morgue to view the remains of their father, and the little girl was so anxious to have a photograph of her father that a kind-hearted photog rapher llnally consented to secure a. like ness. The children were provided with a 1 home in Lewis county, Washington, at ona time, but about three weeks ago they were returned to the Boys' and Girls' home, at the request of their father. Now they will be retained at the home until other provision can be made for them. Patrick Murry. to whom the dead father was Indebted, has agreed to forego his claim on the estate. Montgomery's rc n.oins will be decently interred at the ex pense of Council No. 9, J. O. A. M. Poisoned nr Cheese. A supposed case of polboning of a family from eating cheese Is reported from East Portland. Monday evening, Mr. J. F. Compton, who resides at 691 East Alder street, purchased a quantity of cheese from a store on the "West Side. All of the members of his household ate of the cheese, consisting of himself, his wife, two tons, and also a young lady guest. The young lady was the first who evinced signs of poisoning, and became violently ill. She was taken to her home at once, and was waited upon "by a physician. About half an hour after ward Mrs. Compton showed signs of dis tress, and a few minutes later Mr. Comp ton and the two boys were taken With iolent pains. At midnight Mr. Compton was seized with convulsions, and a doctor was summoned, who upon his arrival suc ceeded In relieving him and the other members of the family and left them rest ing easy. The cheese purchased was In closed in a can. The attending physician has taken a quantity of It and will make an examination to determine the cause of the trouble. Inquiring Into Revd's Case. The ef forts to have Rev. J. C Read adjudged in sane are being continued. Yesterday more testimony was taken, and, as on previous ds, Mrs. Read was a visitor to the courthouse, accompanied by their son, a bright-appearing young man. The report is current that insanity Is hereditary In the Read family, tracing back a couple of generations. The report of the board of medioal examiners is to be made to-Judse Stephens, as it Is under the order of his court that It was vested with authority to investigate Read's case. Several doctors visited Road at the county Jail yesterday Saturday he was given a searching per sonal examination by the physicians, and it was thought this ended it, but it seemed not. Mat Start the Smelter. Mr. "William Selover, who was the principal promoter of the scheme for building the smelting works at Llnnton. arrived here a few days since from Chicago, and has been endeav oring to make arrangements for putting the smelter in operation. He says smelt ers at Omaha, Denver amT other places are doing a good business, and the smelt ing business could be carried on profitably here ,Tlie syndicate which owns the smelter hore. however, got its affairs into such a shape that he fears it will be Im practicable to make such arrangements as he would like. He says, notwithstand ing the low price of silver, the prospects of the smelting business in the West were never btter than at the present time. A Now Row of Buildings. Mr. P. Sell ing, who a few days since purchased the half block on Washington, between West Park and Tenth streets, from J. Loewen berg, for JT6.0Q0. Is preparing to put up at once a row of stores the whole length of the block. The plans and specifications are being prepared, and the buildings will be of brick, three stories In height. Mr. Selling has confidence in the future of the city, and has no Idea of allowing this val uable property to remain unimproved, and is going to take advantage of the present favorable time for building, when mate rial and labor are cheap. SKTLARXS Home Again. The skylarks, which were such an attraction In the Ladd tract last summer, have returned from their winter migration and are filling that section with melody on fine morn ings. A gentleman who went over there a few mornings since to look for them says he heard more than a dosen singing at oace, and the effect was "eavenly." Ary one wishing to hear the larks, at Heaven's gate singing, should take his station about the center of the Ladd tract shortly after sunrise on a fine morning. The perf6rm ance lasts for several hours, and a mat ice is given every day. Rubbish Into the River. In spite of all that has been said and written about people violating the law by dumping ref use into the river, the practice Is almost daily kept up. A most open instance of the kind recently occurred at Victoria dock. The British ship Dunearn on Satur day and Monday discharged, so it is said, 300 tons of rock ballast Into the river. In stead of on the dock where it belonged. "Whoever had the say of the matter prob ably considered It more economical to throw the stuff Into the river than have it carted from the wharf. Major Post was notified of the fact on Monday, and promptly stopped it. It is one of the duties of the harbor master to prevent such vio lations of the law. Captain Fitch's atten tion was called to the matter by a. pilot, and be is said to have replied that he sounded on the spot and found plenty of water where the ballast was being dumped. To most river men, the city's expense of keeping a dredge seems use less, when anybody and everybody is per mitted to choko up the channel by throw ing rubbish Into the river. Mr. OHphant is Investigating the Dunearn case for the Port of Portland commission. Died From Natural Causes. Tester day afternoon Coroner Cornelius held an Inquest on thebody of "W. R. P.

Mr. Mayer is one of the oldest members of the order in Portland, having occupied many places of honor in the order, and passed through all the degrees.

J. Brorrn. The crowded appearance of the Taylor street M. E. church last evening demon strated the poularity of Rev. Arthur J. Brown. D. D., as a lecturer, and the doc tor did not disappoint his audience- For more than an hour he held them in the closest attention while in eloquent words he told the story of Marcus Whitman, the pioneer missionary of Oregon, and how much he did to open up the vast and fertile territory west of the Rocky moun tains to settlers. The lecture was the fourth In the Y. M. C. A. star course, and Its subject "Marcus Whitman and the Story of Pioneer Oregon," promised something of unusual interest, and so it proved. The audience was made up of cultured people, and was very appre ciative, frequently Interrupting the speak er with applause. The lecture was pre ceded by a short but most enjoyable organ recital by Mrs. E. M. Bergen. Dr. Brown's subject proved intensely Interesting, in spite of its historical tone. Dr. Marcus Whitman, a Presbyterian missionary, characterized by the speaker as the "Livingstone of the Far West," was among the first settlers in Oregon. He opened up a settlement about six miles from the present site of Walla Walla, and there established a church. It was at a time when even the greatest statesmen of the country believed the vast wilderness west of the Rockies to be impenetrable and unfit for human habitation, and raised their voices In warning to emigrants who contemplated crossing the mountains. Dr. Whitman discovered what a grand stretch of fertile country it was, and he also discovered that the employes of the Hudson Bay Company were spying it out with a view of securing it to England. Realizing that If American colonists were not Immediately brought to take posses sion, this vast domain would be lost to the United States, Dr. Whitman, In the dead of winter, with but a single com panion, made the perilous trip over the mountains, and, after almost miracu lously overcoming innumerable dangers, arrived In Washington, and by lectures, newspaper irticles and pamphlets, suc ceeded In arousing the government to action. Then the first great wagon train, with 113 settlers, followed the Intrepid pioneer and minister back over the mountains, In time to save the great Northwest for the United States, thus starting a tide of immigration that has never since ceased to flow. Dr. Whit man's famous journey was made in 1S42-43, and four years later he lost his life 1n the historical Indian massacre that bears his name. The lecturer told the thrilling story of Dr. Whitman's life and patriotism in vivid pen pictures that were both forcible and eloquent After all he told the story sim ply, but it was so embellished with in cidents of frontier life, anecdotes and stories as to make It read like a novel, in which the Livingstone of the Far West was the hero. But Dr. Brown has gone deeper into the subject It has often been alleged that Dr. Whitman's famous midwinted trip was a myth, and that he himself was but an ordinary individual. In a series of quotations from the most authentic historians of the day, authors, statesmen, orators, editors and pam phleteers, the speaker proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that Dr. Whitman was every inch the pioneer, missionary and patriot that Oregonians and Wash ingtonians are proud to consider him. Dr. Brown's researches along this line must have cost him a great deal of labor and effort, for he has taken pains to search all the records within reach, and they are well nigh innumerable. In closing Dr. Brown paid a glowing tribute to the early pioneers who fol lowed Dr. Whitman into Oregon, naming many of them and speaking of their In dividual efforts for the welfare of the state. He also uttered an eloquent perora tion on-the resources of the grand North west, its future and great possibilities. Dr. Brown was warmly applauded when he had concluded. NEEDLE AND ITS CHANGES Captain Gilbert Comes to Make Mns nctio Observation. Captain J. J. Gilbert, of the coast and geodetic survey, arrived in Portland yes terday to take the regular observations connected with the magnetic stations estab lished several years ago. Many will re member when an officer of the coast and geodetic survey had a tent pitched on the southeast corner of the postoflice block, and, after making his observations and calculations, "planted" a stone monu ment a foot or two deep. In placing this monument under the ground. It was not Intended that it should sprout and grow into a Bunker Hill monument, or anything of the kind. The stone was put there so it would not be disturbed. The object of the work done and to be done Is to keep track of the changes of the magnetic pole, or, rather, the changes in the variation of the magnetic needle from the true north. Everybody knows that the compass needle does not point to the true north, but varies here something over 20 deg., but everybody does not know that this variation varies, and is constantly changing. The object of the magnetic stations es tablished at various points by the coast and geodetic survey is to keep track of the variation, as well as the Intensity of the magnetic force and the dip of the magnetic needle; to see how far the variation ex tends east, and then how far west, and fhow long it takes for It to travel between the outside limits. The design is to find out the law which governs it so that the variation for any time In the future, the same as the phases of the moon or the tides, can be predicted years in advance. Captain Gilbert is somewhat afraid that the station here has been ruined by the number of electric wires strung about in all directions, the Induction from which is Inable to affect the delicate instruments used in his observations. What may hap pen when the new power station at Oregon City is completed and several thousand horse-power in the shape of electricity un der "high pressure" Is being pumped into this city daily, it is difficult to conjecture. But it may be that It will knock the com pass silly, and cause the needle to point straight up and down like a Hibernian hurricane. Captain Gilbert is a brother of United States Circuit Judge Gilbert He has been connected with the coast and geodetic sur vey for about 2Q years, and is quite well known here, having been for some time employed on the survey of the Columbia. For several years past he has been sta tioned on Puget sound. A HOME FOR MARINERS. Good "Wc-L- Bclnp; Done by Seaman's Friend Society. There Is a work being carried on in Portland, under the auspices of the Sea man's Friend Society, that is deserving the utmost success and the support of all classes of people who are Interested in well doing. Some three months ago, Rev. W. .O. Forbes, assisted by the younger members of the Seaman's Friend Society, organized what is know as the Seamen's Institute, and comfortable quarters were provided in the Mariners Home building, corner of Third and Davis streets. The rooms are open every evening until 10:30 o'clock, where reading matter Is supplied and sailors of all nationalities are made welcome. The growing popu larity of the institute is best shown from the fact that during the month of Jan uary there were nearly 2$60 visitors, mostly represented by sailors belonging to ships in this harbor. Some of these sailors and apprentices are at the In stitute every day and evening, and their daily registration accounts for the large number shown by the visitors' record. On even' Tuesday a concert is given by the young men and women workers of the society, and every Sunday afternoon a free lunch is served to those present. Dur- j ing the "week days, cocoa and cakes are sold to the sailors at a price just.sufiiclent to pay expenses. The object of the institute Is to provide some place of resort where sailors can congregate and feel at home, instead of be ing compelled to pass their time in cheer less boarding-houses, saloons or worse places. The sailors are great readers of papers, particularly English journals, and pictor ial illustrations, and those who have these are requested to send them to the Institute, when through -with them. All such donations will be thankfully received. An Institute such as this, in successful operation, will prove one of the best ad vertisements of Portland, as a port where some little attention Is shown to the wel fare of mariners. EAST SIDE AFFAIRS. Remonstrance Agminst Rcmornl Trnclt No. 4. of A remonstrance is being circulated In the central district addressed to the board of fire commissioners, against the removal of truck company No 4, which has quar ters in the engine-house on East Third and Oak. to Holladay avenue. It is re cited In the petition that the company is greatly needed v.'here-it now is, and its re moval will add to the liability of loss by lire. The action is brought about by the determination of the board of fire com missioners to consolidate in one company the two East Side truck companies, one being in Upper Albina, and placing the consolidated company in the building on Holladay avenue, now being prepared for Its reception. University Park Revival. A revival of religion is now in progress in the chapel of the Portland university, conducted by Dr. Bushcng, of. Astoria, as sisted by the pastor and professors of the university. These meetings have now been in progress only four nights, and more than 1C0 persons, most of them adults, have lther been converted or led into a Christian experience, while scores of others have bowed at the altar and are still seeking for the "pearl of great price." The meetings are still in progress, with no sign of abatement. Miscellaneous Notes. Those who wish to see Dr. W. A. Wise will please keep in mind that he will leave in a short time for Tillamook, to be ab sent a month, or longer. A new court of the Order of Foresters was Instituted at Hermann hall.

TO SUBDUE AN ELK. VrotaHsor Glcnson Will Try to Ac complish, an Unlieard-Of Feat. A most remarkable exhibition of wild animal taming will be given at the Ex positon building- next Friday evening, when Professor Oscar R. Gleason will un dertake to break to docility a big bull elk that was lately captured in its native wilds. The magnificent animal is both A. Fine Specimen. wild and fierce, and refuses to submit to man, but Gleason has a method by which he is certain to prove himself the brute's master and it his most obedient servant. No cruelty will be employed. By suasion and gentle force the mountain monarch will be gradually brought to recognize Gleason as a power that cannot be re sisted. The work of subduing the elk and two wild and vicious horses from Salem Is to be accomplished in 150 minutes, else Gleason loses a big lump of money and a whole lot of priceless reputation. He is confident that he can carry out his con tract, however, with time to spare. The elk and horses will be in the ring at S:13 o'clock, and there will be no intermission during the performance. Since his last appearance here Profes sor Gleason has toured the Sound cities and subdued every horse brought to him, and some of them were what he calls "holy terrors." A New Frascr River Stnmpcdc.
