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.

two of the forty-four applicants for coun
ty school certificates are found to have

Getting Readt for Census. 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.

r s and Gus LeClaire. arrested Monday
n ght for burglarizing a bakery at Second

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.

Married in California. A dispatch
from San Francisco to The Oregonian was
as follows: "Mr. Edward S. RothchHd. of
Portland, and Miss Stella B. Meyersteln.
of this cty, were married at the Palace
hotel this evening. 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

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.

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.

since last Saturday. The bereavement
falls very heavily on the parents, as it was
their only child.

FISH LIES IN ORDER.
Deplorable Iffnornncc About Salmon
of a Connecticut Man.
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.

The Northwestern contingent of the
Fire Underwriters' Association of the Pa
cific Coast banquetted at the Portland
hotel last night. 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.
Following were present: Bernard Fay
monvllle, chairman: George F. Ashton,
R. P. Fabj, E. T. Neibllng, W. F. Chal
mers, Sam B. Stoy, M. J. Green, Ed. Hall,
H. Smith, J. L. Fuller. A. F. Gartner, H.
E. Parkhurst, A. Hermann, James, H. de
Veuve, J. D. Coleman.
The banquet which was celebrated in
San Francisco last night, was held at
Delmonico's restaurant, President Rolla
V. Watt presiding. It was attended by
a large number of the special fire insur
ance agents of the coast.
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."
Receiving no reply to this telegram, at
11 o'clock another dispatch was sent, as
follows:
"Portland, Feb. 20. Rolla B. Watt, Pres
ident: We are still able to write telegrams.
What's the matter with you fellows?

was drunk to the health of the Northwest
contingent. ROLLA B. WATT.

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.

A CARD.
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. We employ
white labor at both factory and mill, and
the money paid us for clothing remains
on the coast.
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. For the same reason we
offer in our custom-tailoring department
to make suits to order in cheviots, tweeds
and casslmeres for $18. and pants for $4 60.

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.
