Curious Fatal Poisoning. 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.

Ginseng for Chinese. 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.

very pretty, jet black hair; one girl babe,
3 months, blue eyes; one boy babe, 4

Punished for Stealing. Judge Hen
nessy yesterday sentenced Woo Wah to
25 days in the county jail for stealing a
basket from the Portland cash grocery,
not the Oregon cash grocery as stated

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. In ad-

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

Charles Kern, employed in Supple's chin

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.
