CORDHATS THEATER (Waahlnston 6tret
Hatlnee and evening. "At Cay Coney Island."
Beginning or New Teoubixs. A peti
tion numerously signed by citizens of the
tenth ward has been presented to the
3xaxd of public -works, the object of
which is to have an. arc light removed
Irom Eugene street to Tillamook street
It is staled that there is no arc light on
Tillamook street between Williams avenue
and East Eleventh street, hut there are
two incandescent lamps, about 1000 feet
apart. The board is informed that on
Eugene street, the next street north of
TLlamook, there are arc lights at Williams
aexwie Kodney avenue. Union avenue, and
a fourth just across Union avenue on a
cul d sac in which Eugene street ends.
"While the people on Eugene street have
three arc lamps on two long hlocks, and
another only a short distance away, the
people on Tillamook street have no arc
light in a very much longer pace. The
petition, of course, does not state this
condition of affairs, but the board is
aware of it, and also of the iact mat me
people on Eugene street have been asked
to allow one of their arc lights to he
anoved to Tillamook street, but the propo
sition has been received with a howl of
dissent. There is always trouble when
a street lamp is moved, of which the board
is fully aware, but it looks as if they
would have to take action in the case.
The only way in which the dark places of
the city can be lighted these days is by
remov ng a lamp from, some place where
it is not seriously needed. It is very prob
able that the board of public works will
decide that one of the four lamps on
Eugene street which have been mentioned
must be Temoved to Tillamook street, to
Sight the long stretch between Williams
avenue and East Eleventh street.
Tough Problem. The council license
committee at their meeting yesterday had
under cons-deration the ordinance "creat
ing a fund out of which to pay the ex
penses of the city Jail." by setting apart
50 per cent of all fines collected in the
municipal court for this purpose. Some
time was spent in considering the ordi
nance, which was referred to the com
mittee at the last meeting of the council.
One member of the committee said if the
city had the money and it was absolutely
accessary for the preservation of the effi
ciency of the police force, he would be
willing to give it. Another was not willing
to grant any money to any department
which had not a legal title to It. In the
end It was decided to recommend to the
,,n Via frrtViiT ormsideration of the
ordinance be indefinitely postponed. The
committee consists only of three members,
Beutgen, Jameson and Martin, and their
recommendation Is not likely to carry so
much weight as If there were five of them.
Beutgen is a member of the license com
mittee which is to consider the other ordi
nance for the relief of the police depart
ment, which is intended to create a fund
for paying salaries of license officers by
getting aside for this purpose 1 per cent
of all licenses collected, and he will have
to oppose this in order to be consistent.
Some are of opinion that the police board
would have done better to struggle along
lor a while, until they were actually in
distress, before applying to the council for
relet.
Public Charities Meeting. All of the
preparations for the public -charities meet
ing at the Marquam Grand theater to
morrow afternoon are now complete, .nr.
Strong, president of the university of Ore
gon, who is to address the meeting upon
the subject, "Some Problems Whose Solu
tion the 19th Century Must Demand of
the 20th," has written that he will be
down today. At its urgent request he Is
to remain as the guest of the committee
at the Eotel Portland until Tuesday morn
ing. Mrs. Walter Heed, Dom Zan and the
Treble Clef Club will provide the musical
programme, which will be of an unusually
high order. At the conclusion of the meet
ing they will all sing, "The Star-Spangled
Banner" and the audience will join in.
Its fitness for a national hymn will have
a fair test. The -entire theater, under
charge of William T. Gardner, will he
thrown open to the public No attempt
Rill be made to raise money, and every
body will be made welcome, and as far as
possible be comfprtably seated.
To Reform Liquor Ordinance. The re
sult of the liquor Dealers' Association
tnkenng with the license ordinance has
proved so unsatisfactory that there is a
strong probability that the ordinance in
troduced at the last meeting of the coun
cil providing a flat $400 license for all par
sons selling liquor, will be passed. As the
law now stands, druggists have much the
best of it, being able to sell any amount
of 1 quors without paying any license, and
wholesale dealers are practically compelled
to take out both wholesale and retail li
censes. This does not please them, and
they say it is unjust and ridiculous. There
is a probability that Cameron's ordinance
may be amended so as to allow druggists
to sell liquors for medicinal purposes
only, under a prescription from a reput
able physician, free of license, and that
thus amended the ordinance will stand
a very good chance of being passed. It
is brief, and to the point, and places all
dcaiers in liquors on a level, and would
probably prove satisfactory.
Corruption op Youth. Peter Meaner, a
cripple was arraigned yesterday in the
municipal court for vagrancy. People liv
ing in the neighborhood of First and
Caruthers streets have been annoyed by
Moaner's keeping a headquarters for
uuns lads, who, to the number of 15 or
hf, assemble in his hovel, and after taking
up a collection send out for beer, which
they drnk on the premises, and have a
riotous time generally. Parents who ob
ject to their sons being in such a gang
have determined that Meaher's den shall
he broken up. Mealier, who is respectably
connected, was warned that the police
w ould pounce -upon the whole gang of boys
if they were found around the place in
future, and was told that 60 days in the
county jail would be his portion. He was
then allowed to go.
Cared For by the Countt. William
Brady, who has evidently been trying to
break into the county jail for some time,
was yesterday accommodated by Judge
Hennessy, who gave him a year in that
institution for stealing a bundle of bedding
from a North End store. Brady was up
last wee for stealing butter from the
Merchants hotel, where be had been em
plojed to carry in wood, but as he prom
ised to leave town, prosecution was not
pushed.
" Unprovoked Assault. Jack Hale was
fined 510 in the municipal court yesterday
for assaulting one J. Brazee, in a saloon.
Hale pleaded guilty, and, when Brazee,
who is a taxidermist, made a statement,
it became plain that the assault was un
provoked. Both men stood at the bar,
and when Brazee asked Hale to take
something Hale proceeded to ""put a head
on him" for his kindness. Both men had
been drinking.

XpOts or Litigation Promised. City At
torney Long is ready to commence pro-
focHlmrc iinHor fhft OIlratlYl? act DOSSed by
the last legislature to recover money paid
by the city 'for the street Improvements
of a number of patriotic citizens, who
managed to evade payment, on account of
some error in the proceedings of the coun
cil in connection witn saio. unprovuueuw.
Cases of this kind are to be found In

back to the earliest efforts in this com
mendable line of business. On some strests
the evasions amount to only a few hun
dred dollars, while on others they run
up to thousands. Mr. Long has bis i first
oomplaint prepared and ready for fil.ng.
It is in connection with the improvement
of North Front street, and 42 persons are
mads defendants. It can easily be Imag ned
that a large amount of labor Is involvea
i ,..!., 'v.o. t!tioc tn nroDerty in-
volved when it is necessary to make so
many persons parties defendant. By tne
time Mr. Long is through with this Busi
ness be expects to have recovered a snug
aum for the city, as he Is confident there
is no way for the property-owners to get
out of paying their assessments, and he
expects that many of them will pay with
out contesting in order to save costs, or
i- , n.v.cTv. thft city has not
paid the assessments, and the warrants are
still outstanding, the money will go to pay
these warrants. The contractors "Who did
the work have In most cases Decome mi
of waiting for their pay and have sold
.-i ivrnTrpT-! at a discount.
One of the effects of the curative act will
be to turn a flood of litigation loose in luo
city, for there will be 15 or 20 suits brought
in connection with every street on which
assessments were not paid, and no one can
tell how many defendants will be in
cluded in each suit.
Open for Today. In response to re
quests from a number of sources, the
rooms of the Oregon Historical Society,
top floor of the City Hall, northwest cor
ner will be open today from 10 to 12, 1 to
5 and 7 to 9. A number of valuable and
Interesting additions have been made dur
ing the ps?st week, among them a double

a flint lock belonging to a gun of the 16th
century, and stone pestle and mortar,

found in Eastern Oregon in 1891 by F. A.
Glynn. In an excavation made by a steam
shovel at a depth of 27 feet below the sur

- Woodchoppers 'at St. Helens. Bt.
Helens is now the center of quite a wood
chopping industry, according to Harry
Cline. a resident, wno was in rurumu
yesterday. William Slaughter has between
SO and 100 men in the woods, and there
is work for all who otter tnemseivea.
Choppers cannot be obtained in the sum
mer time, as men prefer to follow other
occuDations. so firewood must now be
piled up for next winter's use. Men are
paid 80 cents to 51 ' per com, accurmuB
to the kind of land the wood growa on.
If level and convenient, the smaller price
is paid, while if hilly and difficult of ac
cess, choppers are obliged to have the top
price in order to make wages. The late
wet weather has Interfered with the work,
and it is during these damp speiis tne
men like to make flying trips to town.
Chopping and splitting is not considered
desirable employment while the rain is
falling, but the crosscut saws can as run

The matinee attraction at Cordray's this

farce comedy, "At Gay Coney Island,"
which has been delighting crowded houses
all the week at th'at popular theater. Fun
abounds In this successful skit; It begins
at the rise of the first curtain and lasts all
the way through. Bright specialties, new
jokes and clever sonjrs help to carry it
through, and the audience Is always sent
away with an appeitite for more. There
has been a large advance sale, and the
Indications are that the house will bb
crowded. The last performance will be

It appears to me that the people of the
Northwest do not realize the richness of
the region called the Philippine islands.
What 1 saw of the country makes me de
sire to return there, though not as a
soldier. My patriotic spirit for the present
is satisfied.
When peace Is restored in the islands,
which will probably be soon, a surpris
ingly large trade will be opened up with
the coast. .That Is a country of vast re
sources. The average American would like Ma
nila. To stand on the Bridge of Spain
(Manila) and look around, first down the
river at the immense shipping, then over
to the right, the busy Escolta, with Its
surging mass of people, the streets
jammed with vehicles; over to the left tne
historical "walled city" and the gay Lu
neta, and then about to the beautiful and
rich tropical country, always makes an
American feel proud, indeed, to know
his country owns and rules this Oriental
paradise, although It cost many lives.
Sichtness Caused by Hardship.
Manila itself is-not an unhealthy place.
So much sickness among the soldiers is
caused by their hardships, which, of
course, to do good work cannot be avow
ed. The principal causes oi biciuitroa
are sleeping on the ground and drinking
bad water. Old inhabitants or natives,
111c the Instinctive rooster, always spend
the night several feet from the ground.
The houses there are invanaDiy duhi up
at least six or seven, feet from terra
firma. Before hostilities started, while
quartered In Paco, I never felt better in
my life, and even after enduring many
long marches of from 20 to 30 miles a"
day and sleeping when we could, usually
in swamps, I felt very well. From Feb
ruary 4 till March 10.. we had no change'
of clothing (what little we wore), contin
ually sleeping on our guns, and if a sol
dier secured permission to go to tho
river for a bath it was at his peril, for
Filipino sharpshooters were always lying
in wait, and when he plunged into the re
freshing waters a shower of Mauser bul
lets, would spatter around him. Only,
mudhens and water lizards could tolerate
that very long.
My sickness, which almost pulled me
under the baked sod of Malate cemetery,
came from drinking bad water green
water. One day about the middle of April
we covered 35 miles, chasing and fighting
lnsurredtos, and, incidentally, Durning
their houses and destroying everything In
sight. Having lost my canteen, I was soon
spitting cotton. Finally, when almost
choked for water, I came upon a pool of
green stuff, alive with wigglers. But It
was we't, and I drank deep, not knowing
when I would get any more. Well, l
used my stomach for a sort of incubator
for snakes.
Shortly after that I was compelled to
go to the hospital with a severe case of
so-called dysentery. The doctors laughed
at me when I Intimated my suspicions of
being devoured internally by reptiles. I
suffered all the tortures of hades, I sup
pose, and In the meantime drifted down
from 190 to 110 pounds. My misery in the
hospital was an experience not soon to
be forgotten.
Raisins: Snakes In tlte Stomach.
After the regiment's return to San Fran
cisco, unknown, to the surgeon, I pro
cured and took some medicine that was
guaranteed to kill anything that crawls.
After a few days the medicine seemed
to have the desired effect, for It brought
from me a dead snake 14 Inches long. It
had no eyes, but there was no qoudi
about It. No worm, but a proper snake.
Ever since then I have giown better, and
now weigh 160 pounds.
Many more of the soldier boys have
drunk from the same pool or similar poola
in Luzon, and are dying from the same
cause, after being treated for months for
dysentery.
Chances for Americans.
Surely when business is resumed in the
Philippines there will be grand chances
for Americans and American money in
almost all lines of business. You hear
much about the "pobre" Filipino, down
trodden by Spain, but they all seemed to
have money.
The Filipinos in and about the towns,
generally, speak Spanish, besides their
native tongue, and are very bright. They
are natural musicians, and show talent,
especially on the violin, playing- classical
European music They should not be
classed with Indians nor Chinese; they
are far superior.
One 'evening a Filipino, former mayor
of Paco, Senor Qultarlo del Prado, and
myself were enjoying a dinner at the Ho
tel de Espana (Escolta), when a drunken
American soldier came staggering in and
commenced abusing our entertaining hos
tess in all the vocabulary of American
cusswords. I was declaiming to my Fili
pino "amigo" of what a grand nation was
America and in what a high state of civ
ilization were her people. He interrupted
me, calling my attention to the boisteroub
soldier, who was acting most disgrace
fully, and giving me a dig in the ribs,
the senor asked, "Do you mean to say
that fellow came over here to civlliza
us?"
Of -Course, out In the interior they ara
'ignorant, and their clothing Is "nlt,!' but
they are quick to learn, easily led, but
hard to drive.
By the way, some of their officers gave
our commanders some good pointers on
how to flank the enemy. But the Fili
pinos can't stand the American yell. Some
times they show wonderful nerve, tiut
when they once get on the run, they are
"easy." But In a few days they return
for another "go."
Home-Made Artillery.
The United States soldiers who were in
the Philippines all thanked their stars
that the Insurrectos had very little ar
tillery and did not know how to handle
even that. They would mako cannon out
of bamboo and Iron bands, sneak around
our old camping grounds ana gatner up
the corned beef and tomato cans, flit
them with chunks of iron and rock and
shoot them at us. These missiles never
did any damage, but sounded like freight
trains coming through the air.
Gold, in Luzon,
I believe there will be a gold excite
ment over there In a few years that will
eclipse the Klondike. Along creeks where
we were camped, far from the moun
tains, I found many colors, using old
Filipino rice pots for panning out.
Natives from the mountains all say thers
Is "mucho oro," and frequently bring
in nuggets, but they do not understand
mining of any kind. The gold is Inferior
to American gold, going about $16 to the
ounce. CHARLES R. WTLAND.
