City Phy sician Wheeler is on the lookout for any casus of smallpox which may arrive here irom Spokane or other Infected towns. A lew days ago he hoard of three children en the East Side being sick with some dis ease -which might be smallpox. He hunted the family up and was much puzzled to decide the nature of the trouble. They "were broken out all dvot, and very much swollen. The disease had the aymptoma of .ten, but the swollen condition of the patients indicated something more serious. Ho finally ascertained that they had been treated with an ointment composed of car boac acid, sulphur and lard, and in addi tion to the itch they were suffering from carbolic acid poisoning. One of the chil dren died, and the others have recovered. It Will probably surprise many to learn that cases of itch are occasionally met "With by doctors. It is easily communi cated, but Is eo easily cured that it might be .supposed to have been exterminated by this time. Uke microbes and disease germs, the animal which causes the Itch is small, but manages to remain on earth. It is frequently found among the crews of vessels coming from China, and, like every other pe&t, appears to have its permanent abiding place in the Orient. vVil.1, Pat bt thb Hour. The board of directors of the City & Suburban Hallway Company has Instructed the manager iereaxter to pay motormen and conductors at Jie rate of 20 cents per hour, Instead ot by the -day. The new rule will go into effect F&bruary 1, and It is estimated win increase the expenses of the company abuut 512,000 per annum. This eystem of paying street-railway employes has never been tried in Portland, but has been in vogue in many other cities for some time, and is, by many, considered the Ideal sys tem. The old hands will lave the day runs, up to, say 3 P, M., giving them 10 hours per day, and the new hands will take the afternoon and evening runs. Cara vrA be run up to 11:30, and on some lines to 12 o clock at night, thus affording later serlce, which will be satisfactory to pat rons of the company. The new system will render necessary the employment of 25 to SO more men. The same men will have the same cars and the same runs dally, and thus w-.ll be enabled to take their meals and rest at regular hours, and will have some leisure hours daily. Rewards Being Paid. The standing reward of 510 offered by the Oregon Ph and Game Association for the conviction of persons guilty of violating the game laws is now being claimed and paid. In several Instances It has recently been paid, and in other cases payment is pend ing. The association pays the reward to the person who swears to the complaint ipon which the final conviction and pun ishment are based. In claiming the re ward the claimant must make affidavit to the facts, and send It to the secretary, accompanied by an affidavit of the Judge who considered the case. The secretary finds that people to whom he sends the cash rewards are very negligent about acknowledging: receipt of the money. In fact. In every case they have failed to make such acknowledgement. At the Camera Cltjb. The rooma of the Camera Club, in The Oregonlan build ing, were comfortably filled last evening for the lantern-slide exhibition given by Charles Basey, of Portland. Columbia rver scenery was shown in the views, and many points of Interest that are familiar and dear to Oregonlans, such as the Pil lars of Hercules, early morning fishing scenes at Astoria, Castle rock, Cape Horn, Oneonta gorge, Multnomah falls, the gla ciers on Mount Hood, beach views, some fine cloud effects, and many an odd char acter from the Chinese Quarter of Port land. Mr. Basey had an entertaining story to go writh each picture, and the club members passed a very enjoyable evening. Danoerous Theft. Some dishonest per son took his life in nls hands Thursday night by stealing a. piece of heavy coppol Wire from the power station of the City & Suburban Railway Company. The wire ehould have been loaded, but by accident was left dead, and the thief had no trouble In filing it In two in two places and carry ing off some 40 feet. He Is probably one of the kind who rob vacant houses of water faucets, lead pipe, eta If he tackles a live wire be will find that he has no lead pipe cinch on it, and instead of getting away with it. It will probably get away with bim. Only a dope fiend out of cash would be likely to attempt to steal live electric wires. Fined for Vandaxisll Moses Conn, a newsboy, appeared in the municipal court yesterday, charged with destruction of property in tearing up a number of Tele grams. The boy pleaded guilty, and coun sel for prosecution explained that they did not desire the lad punished, but did desire protection for carriers who deliver papera about the city, and for newsboys engagea In selling papers. Mose was then fined $10, and the fine remitted. Judge Hennessy tak ing occasion to warn the boy against of fending in future. Ida McCune, a woman, who tore up papers on the same day, pleaded guilty to the same charge and vras let off with a stiff reprimand. Bids for Oats Invited. Circulars sent out by Major Jacobs, quartermaster, U. S. A., were received by commission men and others yesterday, inviting them to submit proposals for furnishing 560,000 pounds of oats for the government to be delivered at the dock of the transport Lennox, pro posals to be opened January 27. Bids are also requested for supplying 1000 tons of coal and a miscellaneous assortment of baskets, buckets, brooms, shovels, forks ani rakes, from which it would appear that the government is going into the gar dening business. The Iiennox Is expected to arrive here about the last of this month. Securing Bight of Wat. J. S. Howard, chief engineer of the High Line Ditch Company, of Gold Hill, is in Portland, re porting progress to the board of directors. The "Rork of acquiring right of way through lands of the Southern Pacific raJroad, he says, is progressing favorably, the rauroad company manifesting a very fnendly attitude toward the ditch enter prise The line runs through the ra-lroad lards a distance of 31 miles, the right of way being 50 feet wide. Through govern ment lands the width Is to be 114 feet. A gang of men Is now busy clearing right of way in the -vicinity of Gold H11L Going Attbr Delinquents. There are eL 1 quite a number of licenses delinquent, snof ty of small amounts, aa vehicles, second-hand dealers, and some restaurants which continue to serve liquors to pat rons without license. The license officers have been looking pretty sharply after de linquents of late, but as they, having failed to pay by the 10th, know they must pay the penalty of 15 per cent, they do not care hew long they keep the city out of the license. Next week the license officers will beg.n having delinquents arrested, and they will have to pay costs as well as the penalty. Hoodlums Warned. A crowd of hood lums have been gathering at the corner of Mississippi avenue and Beach streets, Alblna, of evenings, for the past few weeks, and insulting -women, using bad language, etc Patrolman Ewing brought one of them in to the station yesterday, and Judge Hennessy read the riot act to him. If the people of that neighborhood arc troubled hereafter, the whole gang of 5 -ihs will be run In and sent up fci tcrce months, the judge said. Rocais Open Todat.

The Corean gin seng merchants who have been in Port land for some time yesterday enleied their stock of ginseng at the custom-house. They have nearly 300 pounds of the stuff, valued at 51203, Mexican. The duty on it is 1H cents per pound, and 10 per cent ad valorem. Just what they will be able to sell their ginseng for, or how much they will be able to dispose of here, is uncertain. The root is highly esteemed as a medi cine by the Chinese, Coreans and other Asiatics, but civilized nations have never discovered any remarkable properties in It. Fine pieces of ginseng have 6old In tho East for fabulous prices, fJOO to 5200 per ounce, and a customary price Is the weight of the roots in gold. It Is probable thai the only customers the Coreans will find here will be Chinese. Entertainment Was Novel. Mrs. Rule D. Meeke, dialect artist, impersonator and ventriloquist, gave a somewhat novel and very interesting entertainment at the Y. M. C. A. last night Mrs. Meeko reads dialect well, and steers clear of the pitfall in which so many entertainers come to grief that of overdoing the' matter. She Is a clever impersonator, and handles the illusion of ventriloquism with skill. The enjoyment of the entertainment was ma terially added to by Miss Annie Stuart, who was down for two vocal solos. In her charming manner, well known to Port land people, she sang, "Dreams," by Bart lett, and "Good Day, Marie," by Pesard. As encores, she gave "You and I," by Chamlnade, and 'Tve Something Sweet to Tell You." The accompanist was Miss George. Moved to Willsburg. J. M. NIckum, who for the past 11 years has resided on his property at 2G7 Hamilton avenue, has recently purchased the old Wills place, of 11 acres, at Willsburg, and has removed his family there. He has also been ap pointed postmaster at Willsbursr. He will come into town every day to attend to hl3 business as usual, and on Sundays and holidays will amuse himself looking after his farm. Although his new residence Is just across the city line, he still considers himself a resident of the city, as he pays taxes and does business in Portland. Mr. Uickum says the winter, 11 years ago, when he moved Into his home on Hamilton avenue, was just such another as the present winter, plenty of rain, but no snow or freezing weather. Drift AccoituLATiNa. Fully an acre of solid drift has accumulated on the upper side of the Madison-street bridge again, and as the logs and branches reach clear to the bottom of the river, a dam has been formed which throws the current to the draw on the west side, and Into the open space 400 feet wide on the east. Aa the river has been falling since Thursday, however, the bridge builders have no un easiness as to the safety of the structure. The third span from the east end Is now being dismantled to make way for the new supports, and new sidewalks are being con structed on the spans just completed. Car passengers and wheelmen are at present obliged to dismount and walk for a few hundred feet. Arrested for Selling "Jelly." Three more arrests were made yesterday under the provisions of the pure-food law, the defendants being D. F. Dunbar, John Doe Hammer and T. S. FInnegan. Commis sioner J. W. Bailey, in his complaint, sets forth that each of the parties sold "a bucket of adulterated jelly, said, adulter ated Jelly not belnjr then and there marked so as to establish its true character, and distinguish it from a pure article of food." It Is Intimated that quite a number of ar rests "will soon be made in connection with the sale of jelly, which has been rather general. These three defendants have been given until this morning to plead, in Justice Kraemer's court. Runaway Accident. W.B. Steele, coun ty commissioner, met with a mishap last evening which cost him a buggy. As he was driving out home, when near Bel mont and East Twentieth streets, one of the bolts connecting the shafts with tho buggy, fell out, and the horse, finding that he had lost control of the buggy, lost his self-control and ran away. The buggy was smashed to kindlings, but Mr. Steele luck ily escaped unhurt. The horse ran up the street-car line to the top of Mount Tabor, where he was caught. Mr. Steele followed on a car and secured his horse, which was nothing the worse for the accident, ex cept a little blown by his long run. Reading Matter for Seamen. An ap peal is made herewith for donations of books and magazines to be placed by the missions on the revenue-cutter Perry, at present In the river. The crew of the cut ter are away In the Northern waters for long periods at a spell, and time must hang very heavily on their hands when off duty. The use of a library Is always a great solace to the sailor, and Dr. Hay, super intendent of the Missions to Seamen, 100 North Front street, wlll.be very pleased to receive reading matter or to send for it. Telephone, Grant 77L Kindly mark packages, "Perry." Now for Trout. From the large num ber of orders which fish dealers are re ceiving for salmon eggs, it is evident that a number of sportsmen intend to go trout fishing tomorrow. The late freshets are supposed to have brought a run of trout up the rivers, and as the "waters have sub sided and the weather is warm, the pros pects are that the trout will bite now. Duck shooting is about played out for the season, especially If the weather con tinues clear, so sportsmen may hang up their guns and take down their rods. There is always sport of some kind to be had In Oregon. Children for Homes.

MISTAKEN FOR A MINISTER LAWYER MACMAHON ASTONISHES A LOGGING CAMP. Woodmen Maile Game of Him Until He Bent Tliem at Tltelr Ovra ' Trade. Lawyer MacMahon, of Portland, knows how to cut wood, and he demonstrated it the other day to a crowd of astonished loggers down Kalama way. The story of his visit Is thus told to The Oregonian by a correspondent: "Kalama, Jan. 18. Lawyer MacMahon, of Portland, came down the. river last week on some mysterious mission, and, after visiting the logging camps on the Oregon side at St. Helens, Goble and Rainier, came across the river to visit the great camp here. His visit will long be remembered. It was a wet day, and the hour was noon. The men were grind ing axes and filing saws. The lawyer wore patent leather shoes, checked Eng lish trousers, a white tie, and an over coat covering his person from head to foot. He wore black burnsides, a devout and ministerial air, and a pair of thin kid gloves. The woodmen 'at once put him down for a Methodist minister whose mis sion was to convert or collect. "All commenced guying the dude min ister, and there were many suggestions as to what had better be done with him. A big Canadian suggested to send him down the river on a jog. A big Swede Intimated that he should be made cut off a. log- with saw or nx. "WTille examining a pile of newly ground axes, the foreman Inquired If the 'minister' knew what that instrument was. His reply caused a roar" of laughter. " "Yes, and there is not a man In this camp I cannot butt off a log with that ax, said the soft-looking attorney. The whole camp gathered around and sug gested a wager, which was at once ac cepted by the dude, but, from the fact that he bet a keg of Weinhard's beer, they became suspicious of his profession. "A log 60 feet in length and two feet In diameter at the butt was near, and every man In the camp wanted to mount this log with the dude; but finally eight men were chosen to cut the log, and were given their axes. The lawyer took off his overcoat, his under coat, his vest, his white tie, his white shirt, his kid gloves, laid them carefully aside, and took a roll in his .English trousers. He then carefully ran his finger over the edge of the ax he had chosen, stepped on the butt of the log, and nodded to the referee, "Ready, sir." Nine axes hit that log at the same moment, and, say! how the chips did fly; but it became evident to the crowd at the first swing of Mac Mahon's ax that they had struck an ath lete, a chopper and a Tartar, instead of a minister and a dude. The big Swede on the top struck a knot, which broke his heart, and he soon quit. The Maine man next went for a better ax, and was soon out of it Old Swansen fell off the log in the middle, and did not go back. The remaining six cut wood in Silence. The lawyer's ax struck the heart of the tree first, and when he turned to cut the other side there was consternation in the gang. The butt of that log dropped first, and all quit, and the log remains with one cut completed. While the stranger was putting on his clothes he was heard to remark: 'They are all a set of d d landlubbers.' "The camp at once concluded that a minister would not bet; that he would not bet a keg of beer; that he would not use such forcible language; that he "would not cut wood. A swamper whom Mac Mahon had defended in the Portland po lice court recognized him and told who he was. "When MacMahon visits this logging camp again he can wear what he pleases and there will be no remarks- He is a chopper from Choppertown, and can own this camp whenever he comes down again." BUDDING YOUNG BURGLERS. Bast Side Robberies Thought to Be Committed by Uo. According to the statements of residents In the vicinity of East Thirteenth, between East Stark and East Pine streets, they have been made to suffer great inconve nience on account of a lot of boys, whom they say live not far off. It would seem that they have graduated from the barn on East Ash, between East Eleventh and East Twelfth, from the cigarette habit into promising burglars. A woman living in the neighbornood referred to said yesterday that fhe and some of her neighbors had been t-ojected to constant annoyance from these promising youngsters. Until recent ly they confined their operations to com mitting depredations, but now they have reason to believe that they have been en tering the houses that have been robbed. She said that the other morning she was aroused at 1 o'clock by a noise at the kitchen door. Getting up quickly and go ing to the front window, she .saw a boy about 15 years old running. He had come from the rear of ine house, and, running to the street in front, disappeared In the darkness. She did not get a very close look at him, but could see that he was a boy. The two houses which were robbed of the plumbing fixtures were evidently entered by two boys, and they were seen leaving the houses with sacks containing something. They attracted no attention until it was learned that the houses had been robbed of the fixtures. The woman, who was interviewed yesterday, mentioned others living near her home who had had the same experience. Whether the boys who have been gathering at the old barn on East Ash street and roaming about in the neighborhood at night are implicated in the recent burglaries, cannot be stated. There is a lot of good boys who have been influenced to join In the crowa1. A prom inent minister said yesterday that the situ ation Is serious, and that the parents should take hold of the matter before it is too late. He said that he had noticed these boys, many of them from good fami lies, and is anxious to get them out of their environments. Five Hundred Miles In tC "WngTon. W. F. Allen, son of the late Washing ton F. Allen, and wife, have just returned from their .trip rb Spokane, whloh they made overland by wagon. They left Port land In October, and proceeded leisurely across the Cascades. They traveled by easy day's drives, stopping In the after noons whenever it suited their pleasure. Sometimes they camped at 2 o'clock, that depending on the opportunity to piocuro feed for their horses, which could not al ways be had at points desired. They had a fine trip, and saw the country through Tvhich they passed as they could see It in no other way. There was some rain and occasionally the weather was disagree able, but, being well prepared, they suf fered no Inconvenience. They traveled 500 miles In all. Thero were two families In the party. Woodstock School District. The taxpayers of Woodstock school dis trict will meet this evening at the school house for the purpose of levying a special tax for carrying on the school for the ensuing- year. In this district the' taxable property Is figured at ?118,000, "which is a reduction of nearly J50.000 from what it was last year, The number of children of the school age Is 140, and the enrollment on the school roster is over 100. One of the directors stated yesterday that financially the district Is In fine condition and far In advance of what It was at this time last year. At the opening of the year there was about $400 floating debt. This has been paid off, and the district has cash sufficient to meet current expenses until thte year's taxes begin to come in.

It Is made perfect in every detail, and the price must only be an after con sideration. The Chickerlng is the best pos sible Piano you can have. WE SELL IT 107 Firit Street Bet Washington and Stark. wvwypmsm dltlon to this, the district has expended $300 In putting in a new heater, which has worked finely. With the valuation of prop erty as given this year, the district has the largest school on the lowest valuation of any district in the state, and but for tho reduction in property valuation, a very small levy would have sufficed this year. East Side Notes. The graduating exercises of the St. John school will take place February 8, when It is expected that State Superintendent J. H. Ackerman will be present to deliver tho diplomas and address the class that will be promoted. Tuesday evening there will be a meeting of the taxpayers of the district for the purpose of levying a tax. For the past week the school has been closed, owing to a scarlet fever scare, but will reopen Monday. The entertainment given by the Mount Tabor military band, at Orient hall, Thurs day night, proved a pleasing success to the large audience. The programme was most excellent, and was under the general direction of J. H. Everest Among the special teatures were a vionn auet Dy J. H. Everest and Charles Slmonsen; musical sketch by Messrs. Fowler, Fendt and Fowler; soprano solo, by Miss Delia Bur banks; cornet solo, Harry McGowan; baton drill, Jean Thomson. Charles Kern, employed in Supple's chin yard, while at work yesterday morning near the engine, narrowly escaped serious accident by his clothes being caught in the revolving machinery. His sleeve waa caught in a screw, and in spite of his ef forts to get away he was slowly but sure ly being drawn Into the machinery, when, fortunately, his predicament was noticed and the engine was stopped. He had been drawn so close that a portion of his clothes had to be cut to liberate him. A large delegation from Portland at tended the funeral of John Myers, which took place from St. Paul's Episcopal church, Oregon City, his former home, yesterday, at 12 o'clock.
