Home Talent Does Well. A furniture manufacturer, while looking through the new city hall yesterday, noticed some fur niture which was made at the East, being the black walnut desks purchased for the old council chamber. He said manufactur ers here could make oak or ash furniture of any kind as cheaply as it could be made East. Business, however, was at a low ebb, only a few men being employed. There are plenty of men. good mechanics at that, anxious to get work at $1 per day. The manufacturers here, he says, had much to learn when they started in business, and now they are posted in regard to seasoning lumber, and get it Into such condition be fore making it up that it will not shrink. It has to be dried in piles for two or three years, and then placed In a dryhouse and submitted to gentle heat for a long time. It used to be supposed that, by putting the lumber into a kiln and subjecting it to great heat, it would be thoroughly sea soned, but now they know that it takes time, and so they think they get their lum ber In as good condition as the Eastern manufacturers. To Instill Patriotism. As a part of their celebration of Washington's birthday the Oregon and Washington Society of the Sons of the- American Revolution will send a number of its members out to address different public schools this afternoon at 1 o'clock. Mr. F. K. Arnold will speak at the high school: Reginald W. Thompson, esq., at the Park; Mr. E. W. Allen at the Harrison; and Charles N. Wait, esq., at the Couch building. Colonel Thomas M. Anderson. preslJent of the society, will ad dress the schools of Vancouver at the same time. All of the addresses will be patri otic in character, the purpose of the speak ing being to keep alive the patriotic mem ories of the days of "76. The annual meet ing of the society will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock in Grand Army hall, on the corner of First and Taylor streets, and in the evening a banquet will be held at the Portland hotel. The society now has nearly 150 .members scattered through the sig.tes.of Oregon andJWaSnlngton. "". Bids for a laaiiT Station. Proposals for the construction of the necessary build (Lngs for the light station at the mouth of the Coquille river were opened at the office of Major Post, 1. S. engineers, yesterday. In all, 3S proposals were submitted, 12 for the metal work, and 26 for the buildings. The lowest bidders for the metal work were the Russell Wheel & Foundry Co., of Detroit. Mich., their bid being 51SD3. The lowest bid for the construction of the build ings was $13,757. by F. H. Goss, of Tacoma. This Is so much lower than the other bidd that some of the bidders think Mr. Goss, who has not visited the site of the light station, will probably back out. The next lowest bids were by Bays & Jeffrey, of this city, for $17,939. and William Jacob son, of this city, for $1S,013. The other 23 bids averaged about $20,000, except one submitted by Walker & Welman, of this city, for $43,0-00. Relatives Not. Heard From. No addi tional information was learned yesterday regarding Anna Petersen, the young wo man whose death was caused by an abor tion. Although the woman said her home was in Salem, an effort made yesterday by Coroner Cornelius to find the parents of the girl failed. It is now supposed that Khe lived In the country a few miles from that city. No inquest will be held on the remains today unless information of a defi nite character regarding the dead woman Is obtained. While it is probable that the operation resulting in the death of the woman was performed In Portland, it will be difficult to ascertain who the guilty party is, and the chances are that the crime will go unpunished. One-Hali" Were Successful. Twenty two of the forty-four applicants for coun ty school certificates are found to have been successful in the examination held last week. The examination was conduct ed by the county superintendent. Follow ing Is the result: First grade certificate Mrs. Nellie J. Drlscoll. Second grade cer tificates Miss Alma Davidson, Lucy J. Mann.

Assessor Greenleaf has ordered books from the sec retary of state for the purpose of taking the census of Multnomah county, and will begin work on the census as soon as the books are received. Blanks for this pur pose were furnished by the secretary of state, several weeks ago. to the various county clerks, for delivery to the asses sors, but those received here Mr. Green leaf did not consider adequate for the work required by law to be performed; so he has ordered a new supply, the order In cluding information of such changes in style as will be necessary to make the books suitable for use for this county. In the MrNicirAL Court. William Far r s and Gus LeClaire. arrested Monday n ght for burglarizing a bakery at Second and Main streets, were hehl in $5W. in the municipal court, yesterday, to appear be fore the grand jury. The motion to dis miss the proceedings against Mrs. A. Kro ilell. found guilty of larceny, was denied by Judge Smith. The woman was remanded to serve out her unexpired sentence, and habeas corpus proceedings will probably follow today. Dr. Wallace's Church.

Mr. and Mrs. Keth child will make a Southern tour before go ing to Portland to reside." To Build a New Church. A very en- ' thusiastic meeting of property-owners, at Palatine Hill, Abernethy Heights and Rlv erdale, was held at the schoolhouse in that district on Tuesday evening, to provide ways and means for constructing an Epis copal church on the tract lately donated by Hon. George H. Williams for that purpose. The meeting was a phenomenal success, subscriptions to the amount of $1165 having been received. The work of grading and excavating for the foundations was com menced the next morning by a large forca of men, with plows and scrapers. The plans for a very neat wooden church have been prepared, to cost in the neighborhood of $2000. The spiritual wants of the people in that district have been attended to by Rev. Mr. MacEwan, who has preached in the schoolhouse for some time. There will be no trouble in securing the necessary funds to push the church to a speedy com pletlon. Dr. Gaff Still ik Jail. Dr. Gaff has been out with a deputy sheriff for several days, endeavoring to secure bail, but thus far without success. He was asked yester day why he did not put up cash bail, as his bail is only $5000, and it was reported by the police at the time of his arrest that $8000 had been taken from his person. Gaff answered that the police found no such sum. He did not have $5000 in money. About all he had was already tied up as part bail, but he had been unable to make up the balance. A further effort will be made by the doctor today, and, if he puts up a large share or all of his bail in cash, he will probably apply to the court for a reduction of the bail on the grounds that the court can afford to take much less, where cash is given instead of bondsmen. Officers Elected. At a regular meet ing of the Stevedores', Longshoremen's & Riggers' Union, No. 1, of Portland, held yesterday, the following new officers were elected: President, David L. Forbes; vice president, Thomas Germain; financial sec retary. John McLaren; recording secre tary, John Cosgrove; treasurer, Gus Barsch; tylcr, James Duffy; warden, Pat rick Bird. TnE Young Men of St. Lawrence's par ish will commemorate Washington's birth day this evening by anticipation, at St. Lawrence's hall, Third and Sherman. The exercises will consist in the rendition of patriotic songs, and in patriotic addresses by Most Rev. Archbishop Gross and Mr. G. C. Stout. Children will not be admit ted. No admission charged. Died in Salem. Their friends in Port land will regret to learn that Karle Maur ice. infant son of Dr. and Mrs. Mark S. Skiff, died in Salem yesterday afternoon, of pneumonia, aged 3 months and IS days. The child had been ill with pneumonia since last Saturday.

A huge Chinook salmon, displayed on the streets yesterday, and labeled "the largest of , the season; weight 63 pounds," attracted the attention of quite a crowd. Among them was one full-grown man of ordinarily intelligent appearance, who in quired what kind of a fish it was. All eyes were fixed on him. and one of the crowd exclaimed: "Good heavens! man, where do you come from, and where have you lived all your life?" He said he had lived in Connecticut lately. He knew all about wooden nut megs and hams, but had never seen such a fish in his life. His apology was ac cepted, and he was informed that the beautiful fish before him was a Chinook salmon. Then some one proposed to measure the fish, and two carpenters pro duced two two-foot rules, and took its dimensions. It length, measuring from a line across the points of its forked tail to the tip of its nose, was fout feet two inches. Its depth through the widest part, just in front of the dorsal fin, was a foot, good measure, and Its thickness at the same point was six Inches. Then fish yarns were in order. As a balky horse rouses the sleeping devil in man, so does the sight of a big fish arouse the traits of character inherited by all mankind from Ananias and Sapphira or others of the same age and kidney, and the number of lies told in five minutes about salmon was something so shocking that a reporter who had been an interested spectator of the proceedings began to feel uneasy, and apprehend thunderbolts out of a clear Oregon sky. Just then the east wall of the old Cathedral was thrown over v.ith a tremendous crash, which shook the earth, and the man who had been telling about a 90-pound salmon he had caught, and another fellow who had been waiting for him to get through in order to tell about a 100-pound salmon he had seen, started up the street like quar ter horses, while the remainder of the crowd went to look at the fallen wall and inhale brick dust for the benefit of their lungs. EAST SIDE AFFAIRS. rnplls at Xortli Central School In Patriotic Exercises. The North Central school will have ex ercises appropriate to Washington's birth day this afternoon.

The banquet was simul taneous to the grand annual function of the association in San Francisco, being a celebration by 15 members who were un able to be present at the larger affair, but who were determined not to be left entirely out of the annual high jinks. The 15 assembled at 7:30 o'clock in par lors G and H. Covers were laid at a round table for the number mentioned, the decorations being very tastefully ar ranged. The center piece was a hand some palm, while strings of smilax and sprays of heliotrope were placed to good advantage. The parlors were decorated with palms and lilies. Music was fur nished by Parsons' orchestra, which was stationed behind a screen in an adjoining room. An excellent menu of a dozen courses. Including three kinds of wine, was enjoyed, and after many jovial speeches, 'nterspersed with numerous toasts, the insurance men dispersed feel ing that life without an occasional ban quet would be a failure.

A few minutes before 10 o'clock the fol lowing telegram was sent by the North west contingent to the San Francisco banqueters: "Portland, Or., Feb. 20. Rolla B. Watt, President, Delmonico Restaurant, San Francisco: The Northwest contingent at precisely 10 o'clock will drink a bumper to the health of the San Francisco brothers."

What's the matter with you fellows? NORTHWEST CONTINGENT." A few minutes later the following tele gram was received: "San Francisco, Feb. 20. Portland Con tingent: At 10 o'clock sharp a bumper was drunk to the health of the Northwest contingent. ROLLA B. WATT. "President." This telegram was followed by the re ceipt of a second, in answer to the 11 o'clock dispatch wired from Portland. It read: "San Francisco, Feb. 20. Northwest Con tingent, Hotel Portland: They are no longer able; that's what's the matter with them. PROPRIETOR DELMONICO." THE DUNREGGAN SIGHTED She Is Still.CruIsInjr Off the Mouth, of the River.

GOOD WINTER FOR SHEEP Tho Loss Will Average a Very Small Per Cent. Sheep on the Eastern Oregon ranges wintered well, owing " to the favorable season, and the loss over that entire re gion will not average more than of 1 per cent. This is very satisfactory, espec ially in view of the fact that they came out of the mountains last fall in poorer condition than usual, having been afflict ed to some extent with a complaint known as wild-fire. Some fed their sheep from December 1, while others have only fed for three weeks. All had large sup plies of hay, and have plenty left- Prices for sheep are a little better, $2 50 being of fered for good mutton sheep. A few woolbuyers have put In an ap pearance at The Dalles already, although shearing will not begin until May 1. They say that the unusually cold winter in the East has caused the stocks of woolen goods to be decreased, and manufacturers will be obliged to buy wool this season, from which it is hoped that there may ba an improvement in prices. But wool growers are not very enthusiastic over this prospect. The loss among horses in the ranges has been much larger than among sheep, as horses are practically of no value, and no one cared to waste hay on them. There has also been a disease among them, known as Texas fever, A gentleman late ly passing through Wasco county counted 11 dead horses on one- ridge. Bunches of horses have been sold as low as $2 per head, but big-team horses are worth as much, or more, in that section as they are in this city. Snow still lies in patches on the ranges, and along the north side of the county roads there are large snow banks in many places. Traveling is bad, and, should warm weather set in suddenly, the roads from the melting of the snow would be impassable for loaded teams. STORES TO CLOSE. - Petitions Circulated for Observance of Holiday.

We have completed our inventory and closed our books for 1S94. We wish to thank our friends for their kind patronage, and take pride in stating that our trade, since removing to our new store, corner Third and Oak streets, has been far ahead of our most sanguine expectations. It proves that the public appreciates honest values and fair dealing. Our aim has been and will be to give good, reliable clothing at reasonable prices. We are making at our mill in Albany lines of neat, desirable patterns In cheviots, cassl meres and tweeds for spring and summer trade. We have also placed our advance orders for the latest effects in imported fabrics. These, as well as our own make of goods, will be made in regular, short and stout, long and slim, and extra sizes, enabling us to fit any one. Our country order trade by samples has Increased so that we were obliged to open a separata department for same, and we send sam ples and cuts of all IIr.es, with plain rule3 for measurement, free to any address. This coming season we intend to devote more attention to our boys' and children's department, and shall carry full lines of novelties and staples. Our uniform de partment has been a great success. We equipped the Oregon National Guard, Port land military band, Oregon Soldiers' Home, American District Telegraph Com pany, Pacific Postal Telegraph Company, reform school. United States Hfesavlng service and many others. We are pre pared to submit bids for uniforms for any organization, as our electric factory Is complete in every respect.

To make room for cur spring stock, we have decided to allow a discount of 10 per cent on every article in our stock. Includ ing four lines of Steln-Bloch Co.'s blue and black extra-long kersey overcoats, which were delayed In transit. As our prices were reasonable before the cut. an extraordinary opportunity Is offered for a short time.

Yes: they're talking about it, and about our clothing, too. Well they may be, for there is nothing in Portland better worth talking about. To have the weather suit you, you must be suited for it from our stock. Two points about our clothing stand out blazingly visible, like Mount Hood the style and value. There's no mis taking the fashionableness of our suits any more than there is the economy of buying a good article at our figures. In buying a suit get something that won't need to be duplicated to get you through the season without looking seedy. A. B. CROASMAN, 165 THIRDST.
