' An Affair of Honor."
Former Portland Postmaeters. Post
mas :er Croasman. is making an effort to se
cure photographs or other portraits of all
the postmasters o Portland from, the time
a postoffice was established here. He In
tends to place them on the -walls of the
postmaster's private office, to remain per
manently. Some of the former postmas
ters are dead, and others have removed to
other places, and 2Ir. Croasman hopes that
moras or suea will xaKe me iroumc to
supply portraits of them. It is deelred that
each be framed separately, and anything
from an ordinary photograph to an oil
pa-ntmg will be accepted. Once the gal
lery Is started each outgoing postmaster
lit the future will see that his portrait is
added. During the Incumbency of Postmas

souvenir, of the Portland postoffice, con
tair ng a hi6tory of the office from its es
tablishment up to that time, with pictures
of .he first and succeeding postofllces, sta
tlst.o, etc. The postoffice has no copy of
this work, and Postmaster Croasman would
bo obliged to any one who will furnish
him with a copy of it, and he -Rill endeavor
to bring it up to date, and get In a picture
of the postoffice with the annex now be

Had a Good Voyage. The Oregonian
tau received an Interesting letter from Y7.
I R.iey, chief bugler of company C,
Th.rt -ninth regiment, now stationed at
ilanUa. Mr. BHey is the son of Captain
"V.. J. Riley, of Portland. He writes that
hts company, with two companies of the
1 ry-huh, left Portland November 3, ar
r. i d at Astoria November 5, and crossed
out tne same day. In 10 days they reached
Hoiiiuuiu, remained there two days and
arrcu at Manila December 7 and landed
the n.xt day. The Tegiment was sent to
Ij-uate, and then went to San Pedro. They
.ae put up breastworks and are waiting
lr the enemy to attack them. Mr. Riley
u.js the boys had splendid health on the
ocan trip, and were well fed. Besides
Hr. Ruey, the other Portland boys in the
I 0.n.ent are Sam Waller, chief teamster;
P...! Dempaey, company clerk of K; Harry
Tlumpson and Harry Franklin.
Fighting for Salmon Sources. The ef
forts of the cannerymen-s combine to se
cure fish wheels at the cascades are cie
ang quite a flutter of excitement among
persons owning wheels there. F. XL "War
ren owns a considerable number of the
wheels, including some of the most profit
aL.e ones, and has taken the fish from a
number of others, but there are a number
which the combine can buy if they will
pay enough, and the owners are inclined
to ask prices which will insure that they
do. The struggle to secure the salmon
crop of the Columbia this season will be
more lively than it was last, and, as the
combine is going to go into the eold-1
storage business, which is supposed to
yk-d immense profits, there is no telling
w hat price will be paid for the fish. Port
land people will be in luck if they get any
Chinook salmon at all this season.
Water Mains Will Bd Ready. The
water committee is prepared to begin lay
ing a main down Twenty-first street, from
the end of the present main, as soon as
the contract for improving the street la
really let. They can easily keep ahead
of the improvement work, and have no
intention to lay the main until assured
that the street will be improved. They
n ere urged to commence laying pipe when
the first bids for the improvement were
opened, but concluded to wait till the work
was begun. Now bids have been opened a
second time, and the work is to be let to
the lowest bidder, and there is little prob
ability of anything occurring to interfere
wi-h the improvement being carried out.
cut there is no hurry about beginning to
lay pipe till the Improvement Is com
menced. Critically III. Timothy Ford, for sev
eral years past janitor at the custom
house, is at the St. Vincent's hospital,
and In a very critical condition. He has
been ailing for the past year, but has
been able to attend to his duties up till
within the past week or so. He was taken
to the hospital a few days ago and, on
Saturday, an operation was performed
which disclosed the fact that he is suffer
ing from cancer of the stomach. He is so
weak that it Is uncertain whether he will
recover from the shock of the operation,
and the end may come at any time. The
jycicians say that if he recovers from
tie shock he may live for some time.
New Surveys. Surveyor-General R. A.
Habersham has asked permission of the
commissioner of the general land office
to advertise lor proposals for xecutins
surveys of quite a number of townships
in .' fferent parts of the state. This per
m ss.on will probably be granted, and if
so bids will be called for this work with
in the next two weeks. A great many
applications for the &arvey of mining
c.a.ms for the purpose of securing patents
to the same are being received by the
surv eycr-general from the southern and
eastern portions of the state, showing a
wenderful Increase in mining industry in
O?gon.
SprciAL Council Meeting. There will
be an adjourned meeting of the common
co jrc.il tomorrow afternoon to approve the
sa e of $25,003 of Improvement bonds to
August G. Klosterman. The $13,000 of
b ms lately issued and those which have
been held back while litigation was going
en ad which are now ready for delivers',
v .11 make up nearly the ?25,000 worth pur-
ie J by Mr. Klosterman. A bid for the
1 nis was received by Auditor Gambell
5.sarday from Wilcox & Co., of Chicago,
w 10 offered par and a premium of 545 for
a 1 , ek of $25,099. The bid was too late
c-3 well as too low.
Ab Othbrs Food. Five hobos, all in
a riw, stood up before Judge Hennessy
5rstrday afternoon, and were sentenced
to I0 days each in the county jail for
trespass. In stealing a ride on the O. R.
SL N. railroad from The Dalles, they had
fo nJ it convenient to break the seal from
lvo door of a box car, containing eggs and
cheese, when they began filling up on other
p pc s property in true hobo style. The
ej-autor passed by the car as the train
ws stopping at Troutdai, and so locked
V carou&ers In until the train roached

McLoughlln's cabin is in a very flourishing
condition, and is taking a profound inter
est In the objects and purposes of the or
der, which are common with those of the
Native Daughters and Pioneers.
Gaining Ground. The movement to es
tablish a permanent exhibit of the prod
ucts of the state has been given a new
start Various circumstances have tended
to retard it during the past few weeks,
hut most of the obstacles "have now been
overcome. Yesterday the subcommittees
started In afresh, and accomplished con
siderable. Mr. Dosch and Mr. Grlndstaff
called on the owners of Portland real es
tate, all of whom, with one exception,
contributed cheerfully. They gave what
they had to give without argument, and
were very pleasant about It, and said that
the exhibit would certainly be a good thing.
All the subcommittees report progress, and
say that almost all the people they have
called on have subscribed a little. Mr.
Dosch says that he has every reason to
believe that the list will be completed by
the end of the week.
Tired of Wheat Diet. Sportsmen had
poor luck duck-shooting Sunday, and the
company who have been shooting at Jew
ett's lake this winter picked up their de
coys, etc., and brought them home, and
will give up duck-shooting for the season.
The waters being out all over the coun
try and the weather being so mild, the
ducks have scattered out all over the
valley and Eastern Oregon. They are evi
dently tired of a straight wheat diet, and
prefer what natural food they can dibble
up In swales and swamps all over the
country. Hunters who visited Deer Island
Sunday report ducks very numerous
there, but they did not secure many ow
ing to lack of time.
For a Mining Exchange. A number
of mining men now in Portland from Baker
City, Sumpter, Bohemia and Southern
Oregon have concluded that the way to
start a mining exchange in Portland Is to
start it, and the preliminaries now being
arranged will crystallize Into something
tangible within the next three days, ac
cording to P. J. Jennings, a well-known
mine operator of Lane county. Mr. Jen
nings says the exchange will have 15 prac
tical mine operators at Its back as a
starter, and as these men all stand well
with the mining community, there Is no
question as to its speedy success.
Looking for a Fight. Fred Ross, of
Denver, heralded as the champion light
weight pugilist of the Northwest, is In
Portland, and is desirous of meeting the
winner of the Evans-Jest contest, which
is soon to be pulled off. He is only a light
weight, he says, but he is perfectly will
ing to meet any of these middle-weights,
and will give any man with whom he
boxes five points. He is prepared to put
up a satisfactory side bet, if a match can
be arranged.
Pension Examining Board. A new
board of examining surgeons, for pen
sions, was appointed yesterday in Portland.
It consists of Dr. William Boys, presi
dent; Dr. O. P. S. Plummer, secretary,

Since' 1802.
The Item In a certain Sunday sheet con

we do most emphatically stigmatize as a

GILBERT CAMP SMOKER.
Volunteers Visited by General Sum
mers and Chaplain Gilbert.
At the hall of Gilbert camp, Second
Oregon, In the Ross building, on Union
avenue, last night, there was a large gath
ering of members and their comrades from
the other camps of the city, it being the
first smoker given by the camp. Captain
Telfer called the camp to order for the
transaction of business, on conclusion of
which a recess was declared. During the
recess the camp was greatly del ghted
by the arrival of General Summers and
Chaplain Gilbert, who were most heartily
welcomed. It was hard to determine tvho
was greeted with the .most enthusiasm, as
they both seemed equally popular. Under
the oiders of the captain of the camp,
the chairs in the hall were ranged around
the hall, the members and visiting mem
bers forming an unbroken circle, with
Captain Telfer at the head. Then fol
lowed the social part of the evening.
General Summers was called on first.
General Summers spoke as the clouds
of smoke were floating about the hall.
He expressed his pleasure on being pres
ent, .and said that the success of the or
ganization was assured. He gave his
ideas of the main purpose of the organi
zation of the Second Oregon, which vaa
to help the sick and distressed comrade
and for social purposes, and along this
line he made a forcible plea for effective
work. No one can tell, he said, who
might be taken down with a deadly mala
dy, and It is the duty of the camps to see
that all such receive prompt aid. The
relief committees, he said, should be es
pecially active in looking after the sick.
Among the Second Oregon camps there
should be a spirit of co-operation for
mutual Interest and aid.
The speaker referred to the return of
the bodies of comrades who had fallen in
the Philippine islands, and said that the
60 would be returned. He had that day
made Inquiry for a plot In Riverview cem
etery with the view to having them burled
together, and had practically secured a
plot 45x45 feet, which would be ample
for the purpose. General Summers ex
pressed the hope that when the bodies of
their fallen comrades had all been re
turned and laid to rest side by side
the organization would be able to build
a suitable monument in the plot. In
speaking of the work of the camps, he
said that the legislature would be asked
to reimburse the volunteers for their out
lay for clothes purchased, and he had no
doubt at all the appropriation would
be made without hesitation. General
Summers said that the cannon which had
just been received would be taken to the
Wolff & Zwlcker Iron works, where It
would be bored out and the metal used
In the making of the medals for the Sec
ond Oregon and the other veterans. As
the general concluded his remarks, he
was greeted with applause.
Chaplain Gilbert then responded to a
call in a pleasant way, thanking the camp
for using his name as the name of the
camp. He said, among other things, that
he was proud of the Second Oregon. It
was a regiment which had an honorable
part In a remarkable war, and had not
faltered at any time. It had even taken
the place of the terrible fighting Kansas
regiment at Malabon and accomplished
what that regiment could not. He had
come home, he said, and found the regi
ment famous, not only for bravery, but for
manliness. He had found that Its services
were appreciated in the state of Ore
gon and throughout the nation.
Following the two addresses, short talks
were called for from every one In the
circle, and all responded. Lenionaae was
served while the addresses were in prog
ress. The first smoker of the camp was
a great success, and others are to follow.
DENZELL VENVILLE WELL.
Sellwood Marine Still in Hands of
Philippine Insurgents.
The following letter, which was not dat
ed, was received by The Oregonian yes
terday. The young man referred to Is
Denzell G. A. Venvllle, who was an ap
prentice, second class, on the United
States cruiser Baltimore. He was born in
Dudley, England, andjs the son of Mrs.
H. D. Mash, of Sellwood:

(To the Editor.) Through the kindness
of The Oregonian, I wish to notify the
mother of D. G. A. Venville, of Portland,
who was captured in the -Yorktown's
party about eight months ago, that one
of the party has been " recaptured by our
land forces, and reports young Venville
well and In good spirits. When first cap- 1
turea no was snot twice In the leg, and
once in the chest, but has fully recovered
from his wounds. Hoping that this may
reach his mother through your columns,
I take this method of notifying her, as 1
do not know her address. Venville is
still in the hands of the Insurgents, but
expects to be recaptured any day.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.
"London Life."
"London Life" will be produced here to
morrow and Thursday evenings, at the
Marquam Grand, with the same specta
cular lavishness that signalized the suc
cessful presentation of the play in New
York last season. Theater-goers have
lately grown more exacting in the demand
for pictorial illusion on the sfage. "Lon
don Life" is said to be remarkable from a
scenic point of view alone. One of the
striking stage pictures shows the famed
fashionable quarter of London called Plc
adllly. The sale of seats is now in prog
ress. "So-wins the Wlntl."
One of the strongest companies ever
eeen in the famous drama, "Sowing the
Wind," will bring that play to the Mar
quam Grand Friday and Saturday even
ings of this week, also at a matinee on
Saturday. The drama, with its great "eex-against-sex"
scene, and its powerful prob
lem and moral lesson, has had, through
out the oountry, one of the most remark
able careers known to the modern stage.
It may seem like exaggeration to say that
everywhere It has been pronounced one of
the most perfect and absorbing play? of
the generation, but such Is the fact. The
sale of seats will begin tomorrow morning.

qulries concerning the engagement of the
Bostonians at the Marquam Grand next
week. The principals of this company are
so well known that little need be added
to what is already known, but from all
accounts, the introduction of several tal
ented and beautiful young singers here
will arouse more than usual curiosity.
Chief among the newcomers Is the beau
tiful young contralto, Marcla van Dresser,
who comes heralded here with the ar
tistic stamp of approval of the Eastern
critics. From all accounts she Is one of the
most beautiful women now on the stage,
and her rich brunette type of loveliness
is said to create a sensation whenever she
appears. Miss van Dresser will appear at
every performance in "The Smugglers,"
"The Serenade" and "Robin Hood." Al
though but 23 years of age, her remark
able success on the lyric and dramatic
stage is chronicled by the successful pro
ductions made by Augustln .Daly last sea
son. Miss van Dresser Is a Memphis girl,
and her musical education was received
from Marchesl. Her voice is of true con
tralto quality, full, melodious and sympa
thetic. The sale of seats for the engage
ment of the Bostonians will begin prompt
ly at the box office, Thursday morning, at
10 o'clock.

SOUVENIRS ARE HERE.
Manager Cordray "Will Begin Dis
tribution Wednesday.
The first consignment of the sterling
silver souvenirs which Manager Cordiay
had manufactured for the women who at
tended the matinee performance of "Hu
man Hearts" Saturday have arrived, and
as soon as they can be prepared for pre
sentation will be given out at the box
office of Cordray's theater. Manager Cor
dray meant what he said when he prom
ised to give out these' souvenirs, and no
one regretted more than he that the Enor
mous press of business In the factory
where they were ordered in the East
made a delay in their arrival unavoidable.
When they are given out every 'woman
who holds a ticket entitling her to one
will feel more than Tepald for waiting,
for they are both artistic and beautiful.
The presentation will begin Wednesday
at the theater, and will last as long as
the first consignment holds out. A second
consignment will be here in a few days,
and a third will be ordered if necessary,
as Mr. Cordray is determined that every
woman who attended the matinee shall
have one.
MADAME NEVADA'S CAREER
Sang in a Mining Camp When Three
Years Old.
Great interest is manifested in the com
ing engagement of Emma Nevada, and
the indications are that the sale of seats
will be enormous the first day it Is opened.
Mme. Nevada is a singer who has been
much written about, although she does
not court notoriety. She has never lost
diamonds, broken contracts or got di
vorces, but has always been as well-behaved
as when her father's chum in Ne
vada, after her mother's death. When
3 years old she was wrapped in an
American flag and sang "The Star-Spangled
Banner" to the miners. In after
years, as her voice developed, Mrs. John
W. Mackay and other rich Nevada peo
ple sent her abroad to study. In London,
In 1SS0, her triumph came in Her Majes
ty's theater in the role of Amina in MLa
Sonnambula."
Mme. Nevada and her company will
appear at the First Baptist church in
Portland Tuesday evening, January 30.
