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.

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.

They assist in matching carpets and ar

alone is of inestimable value to the cus

business a life study, is of the greatest
value.
A skilled corps t)f upholsterers and cab

About 40 people are given steady em

this great retail establishment is larger
than the pay roll of most factories in
Portland. The cut of the building shown

of goods or on a sightseeing tour.

In any way to upbuild or promote the

EXPENSES CUT DOWN.
City Government Costs Much, Iiess
Than Formerly.
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.

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,
