THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, MONDAY, JANUARY 1, 1900. n WILL KICK THE PIGSKIN OLDS KING EIER & OX TH33 GHXDZB.OK; A Good Chance for Oarfllaals to Fol low Is, the Wale oC tlio Olympics. w M FRANK COMPANY'S' Our22d Annua! Clearance Sale gV 1 Stanford and Multnomaa Trill play ball on. Multnomah field today. Tne gamo "will bo called at 2:30 o'clock, and promises to be a cood one. It Is really the star loot ball game of the season. Manager Berry and lfi players of tbo Stanfords arrived yesterday morning, and Burr Chamber lain, the coach, and Traeger, the tackle, came on the evening train. The visitors called at the clubhouse in the afternoon and took some exercise in the gymna sium. The Stanfords are not so large as the Olympics, and give the impression of being able to play a swift, dashing game. The composition of the team, is different from the one -which played Thanksgiving day. Four men "were un able to make this trip, and their places bad to be filled by the regular substitutes. "Pap" Bentley tvill play right tackle in "Babe" Burnett's place; the place of Cairns, the right guard, trill be taken by Huston, an old -university of Oregon man; Boren's position as full back will be taken by Rodolpb. and "Billy" Erb trill play left half in place of Smith. Each team is strong in the tackle posi itlons, and the fight between the men in these places will be interesting to see. Each team has a light quarter. Ralph Eisher, Stanford's right half, is an un msual line backer, and Meyer, the left half, is a hard man to tackle generally. Erb, the Stanford left half, used to play at Tacoma, and is quick and absolutely Searless. McMillan, at right half, is the Strongest man on either team. His line Jbucking is unsurpassed, and his defensive work is Just as good. Eodolph, at full. Is a strong punter. Either Davey or Charlie McDoneli will play full for Mult nomah. Notwithstanding the recent rain, the field will be in fair condition. "While the surface Js rather slippery, the underfoot ing vrill be firm. The teams being so even ly snatched, it "srill be especially interest ing to spectators. Jm especial feature of the game, aside from the actual playing, will be the en thusiastlo rooters. Multnomah's rooters vrill be superior in numbers, and will cheer their loudest to spur on the home team. The old Stanford students have gathered their forces together, and will meet at the Multnomah clubhouse an hour before the game and march out to the grounds in a body, prepared to spend their last whisper in support of the cardi aal team. In the evening after the game both teams will attend the company H hop at the Armory. The line-up of the teams and the com parative weights of the men follow: Stanford. M. A. A. C.

F B Darling GARDENS STILL BLOOMING. Many FloTrers to Be Seen In the Dooryards. Hoses are not so numerous in the gar dens around the city today as they -vrere on Christmas day, still it would be easy in many places to gather a bouquet of these flowers which would pass for first class in Kew England in the height of the season there. Pansles and violets con tinue to come up .smiling, but chrysanthe mums begin to look as if tired of living. Geraniums and fuchsias are still blooming in many places, but air. Eobert Foulkes deemed it advisable to remove from his garden to his cellar several days ago his pet fuchsia, which is five years old, has a stem three inches in diameter, is 5 feet in height, and measured over 20 feet around before it was housed. To say that thousands of beautiful blos soms adorned this wonderful fuchsia only faintly expresses it. Mr. Foulkes was obliged to call in the members of the fire company in his neighborhood to aid him in getting his fuchsia housed. It was a question whether to enlarge the cellar door so as to admit the plant, or cut It down to the capacity of he cellar door. The problem was decided by dragging it In through the door root first, the same as one would a Christians tree, and the limbs which were torn off will be re placed by nature, aided by the genial cli mate and fertile soil of Oregon, next sea son. Mrs. "Waddel, of 6SB East Morrison street, lias sweet peas out doors which have been blooming constantly all summer, and are still in flower, some elegant boquets having been picked for New Tear's day, an indication of the mild winter which Orcgonians enjoy.

States. Artists are employed to atslst and advise customers how to secure the best and most artistic blending in color. They assist in matching carpets and ar ranging draperies so that the best possible effect is always secured. This feature alone is of inestimable value to the cus tomer, as the d'sinterested advice of an experienced person, who has made this business a life study, is of the greatest value. A skilled corps t)f upholsterers and cab inet-makers are given steady employment, and the slightest whim of the customer can be anticipated. If a certam color is desired or a change deemed necessary ln any piece of furniture, the work is prompt ly attended to on the premises, and no delay Is experienced. Orders are constant ly receiied by the H. C. Breeden Co. from Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma and other cities, and the business from outside points almost equals in volume the Immense trade enjoyed by this firm in the local field. About 40 people are given steady em ployment, so that the weekly pay roll in this great retail establishment is larger than the pay roll of most factories in Portland. The cut of the building shown with this article will convey an idea of the Immensity of the stock It contains, but, large as It is, another warehouse of almost equal size is used in which to store goods. To persons at a distance who have never visited this establishment, a rare treat is still in store, and when such persons visit Portland it will always be a pleasure for the proprietor to show them through the buildmg, whether in quest of goods or on a sightseeing tour. Mr. H. C. Breeden, the head of the firm, has for the past 20 years been prominent ly Identified with every movement tending In any way to upbuild or promote the commercial prosperity of Portland. He has acted as president of the Oregon In dustrial Exposition during the past two years, and the success of the last-named enterprise is due in a large measure to the energy aria thorough business meth ods alwajs shown by this public-spirited citizen.

The general expenses of the city of Port land for the year 1S9D have been reduced over $100,000, as compared with the pre irtnnq vear. The exact figures are: Ex- I penses for 1S98, $464,277; for 1899, $301,537 reaucuon, xuo,ov. This saving is to be attributed to the provisions of the new charter, and to the fact that the common council and the board of public works kept down expend!--tures In accordance with Its provisions, which they could not very well avoid before the end of the 20th century we may all have monov to throw at the birds. a FINE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Easterner Surprised by Portland's Educational Facilities. "The public school system of Portland is a credit to the city," said W. B. Ingram, of Boston, to a reporter yesterday. Mr. Ingram has been spending a fortnight In Portland, and though not an educator, takes a great Interest in public schools. Reading from notes he had made, Mr. Ingram continued: "I find that Portland has 30 scnool build ings, including the finest high school building I have seen west of the Rockies, and employs a corps of 31S teachers, whose monthly payioll amounts to $21,850, and who have in their charge something over 10,000 pupils in actual attendance. This is a very good showing for a city of from 90,000 to 100,000 Inhabitants, especially for a Western city. "The school bulldlrgs, with the exception of three or four ln the outlying parts or the city, have from 12 to 20 rooms each, and are well arranged, and the lighting, heating and lavatory arrangements are very good. The several school buildings erected this year, notably the Thompson and Holladay buildings, are fully up to tho most modern style In every respect, and in the way of ventilation, lighting, heating, etc., are as nearly perfect as possible. "I have also noticed," continued Mr. In cram, "that the pupils as a whole are better clad and appear better nourished and more robust and healthy than in many cities of the size of Portland which I have visited, and I find that there Is less sickness among the pupils from contagious or other diseases than is usual among 10,000 pupils Taken- all In all, and saying nothing about the corps of teachers, 1 think Portland may well bo proud of her public schools. "As to private schools, which I find numerous and well patronized, I have only j learned that they are of a high charac I ter and verv efficiently managed " jir. Ingram left for the East last even- ing. and promises to astonish some of his friends at the Hub with his statements in regard to the public schools of Portland, a o Reduction Snle Fancy Dry Goo da.
