3KT. The dry -weather has enaoled the
isphalt company to begin repairing the
3aement on "Washington street again, and
several holes were filled up near the cor-
ler of Sixth street yesterday. The as
phalt -workers say they cannot make their
:ompoEition mix -with -water yet, and so
re obllced to have the edges or tne oia
lavement drv before laying the hot compo
sition down. Considerable difficulty is
found on account of the moisture being
retained under the planks between the
street-car tracks, as the water has no place
run off after getting down unaer tne
aank roadway. New strips of wood are
id next the rails, in place of tne oia
anes, which have suffered more or less
xom wear ana tear, ana oamjjaus. -

the Manufacturers' Association, has car
ried out the instructions given at the re
cent meeting and sent advertisements to
Eastern papers inviting any practical man
of means who is informed on woolen mills
to come to Portland and join people here
in starting one. Charles Coopey and
others say that they know where they
can place several small blocks of stock, on
condition that there is to be absolute se
curity for all stockholders, especially those
in the minority. They advocate making the
enterprise a popular affair, with stock
scattered among as many people as pos
slble, and say that such a plan will great
ly help home Industry that people will
naturally buy clothing made from cloth
woven here in their home mill. Mr.
Coopey thinks that If the plan of selling
stock in small lots is carried out, $100,000
worth of stock can be sold here.
Big Locomotive. In the window of the

do not come up to the footboard, and if
they are six feet tall the engine must be

"Utilizing the Heat of the Snn.
Washington Letter Chicago Record.
Dr. William Calver, a scientist of Wash
ington, claims to have solved a problem
that has been puzzling the wise men of the
earth for 2000 years, and says that he has
devised a method to utilize the heat of the
sun as a substitute for fuel and power.
His discovery is based upon the simple
principle of the burning glass, and by an
arrangement of mirrors he can gather to a
focus of a few inches all of the rays of
the sun that fall upon an acre of ground.
He can melt iron and steel as If it were
Ice, and obtain a heat of several thousand
degrees Fahrenheit Hft also has devised a
method by which the natural heat of the
sun, gathered In that way, may be stored
In reservoirs and applied both to station
ary and locomotive engines. Dr. Calver
has a laboratory on 'the outskirts of this
city, and has a number of Inventions to
his credit in the patent office.

ARRESTED IN KANSAS CITY
JAMBS E. MUSE IS CHARGED "WITBT
BMBEZZIiBMETVy.
He Formerly "Worked for Portland
Guarantee & Trust Company,
"Who Caused His Arrest.
After a year of absence, James E. Muse,
formerly of Portland, has been arrested,
and will be returned to Portland to stand
trial on a charge of larceny. Muse was
assistant cashier of the Title Guarantee
& Trust Company for several years, and
about one year ago is alleged to have
embezzled $620 from the firm. He was at
the time, it is stated, starting upon his
annual vacation, and so carefully did ha
arrange his plans that under ordinary
circumstances no suspicion would have
been aroused until at least the expiration
of the period allotted for that purpose.
J. Thorburn Ross, manager of the con
cern, had been drawn to watch Muse, and,
not being satisfied with tho situation, im
mediately after his departure caused an
investigation that soon revealed what Is
charged as an embezzlement.
Muse's history in Portland is a peculiar
one. His capacity for his office was often
remarked by business men. A member of
the First Congregational church, sober,
Industrious and intelligent his career
seemed promising. During his service
with tho Title Guarantee & Trust Com
pany he was wedded to an excellent wo
man, who came of a good and well-known
Portland family. His disappearance was
a shock to almost 'every csjie who knew
him. He was arrested in Kansas City,
Mo., by the agency, which is announced in
the following telegram:
Kansas City, Mo , Jan 26. James E. Muee,
charged with having embezzled $620 from tho
Title Guarantee & Trust Company, of Portland,
Or., nearly a year ago, was arrested here today.
He had been In. Kansas City se eral weeks, and
had secured employment as a bookkeeper. Mrs.
Muse, who -was with her husband, started back
to Portland today, and Muse had expressed a
willingness to return with the officers without
requisition papers.
For a long time after Muse first became
connected with the Title Guarantee &
Trust Company there was not a single
thing found in his work to excite suspic
ion. Observing his attention to duty, good
habits and seeming fair ambtion, Mr.
Ross afforded him numerous opportunities
for advancement This, however, did not
preclude Muse being kept -under due
bonds, as all prudent banking managers
do employes entrusted with funds. Noth
ing ever appeared on his books giving rise
to suspicion. Even after he started on
that vacation his books were perfectly
straight
He departed immediately after the bal
ance for the month was struck, when,
according to custom, there was no reason
to detect any default for quite a period.
Leaving his accents perfect, ho Is said
to have gone to the safe and pocketed
the money in one Jump, Muse's annual
vacation had barely begun before an in
quiry was instituted by the manager, and
the officers were placed on his track.
Where he has wandered before arriving
at Kansas City Is not known now.
HIGHLY-PLEASED AUDIENCE.
"SowInB: the Wind" Makes Heyv
Friends at the Murquam.
Sydney Grundy's "Sowing the Wind,"
preachy, but popular, has been seen in
Portland before, but a more thoroughly
pleased audience never gave Maude Edna
Hall and her fellow-players curtain-call3
at the Marquam.
The company presenting the "sex
against sex" drama has been greatly
strengthened since last season, and, with
two exceptions, is excellent However,
the play seems to have lost none of Its
drawing power. A dozen curtaln-call3
and prolonged applause at the conclusion
of the third act became a sort of ova
tion in recognition of Miss Hall's histri
onic Intensity.
They were not all strangers to the
piece who filled the Marquam Jast night,
but many old-timers who had seen it be
fore. . ' ' ,r ' '
"Sowing the Wind," by the way, seems
to belong to that class of drama which
attracts many of the only occasional
playgoers. The author has put forth a
striking argument for truth .and justice
as between the sexes and their indiscre
tions. It really does not require that
scenes and costumes of CO years ago
should be reproduced as accompaniment
to the theme, for the question just as
it is treated in "Shall We Forgive Her?"
is as troublesome and vfal to society
as it was ere plays we're made. There
are many tear-coaching sentiments in
this drama; it has much to tell, and the
long speeches are trying. Therefore, one
of the hardest things Is not to cant
Wherefore, as before noted, with two
exceptions, the emotional whirlwind Is
well presented and is well worth seeing.
Miss Hall's work is impassioned and
earnest in Rosamond. She achieved a
distinction in the third act last evening,
and the house capitulated to ber with
all hands moving.
W. H. Turner still continues as the
delightful old curmudgeon Bob Watkln,
a bit of character acting that is as natu
ral to him as his intelligent discrimination
can make it.
As Mr. Brabazon, Charles M. Collins
is Indifferently good. Only for a mo
ment did Mr. Collins, and Franklin
Ritchie, an offending Ned Annesly, break
through their Icy reserve and parlor-like
propriety and stiffness to make their
speeches.
S. Lee Daniel tries Beau Brummelism
with fair success, and makes of Lord
Petworth, the played-out roue, all that
tho part requires.
A. D. Richardson is unhampered and
perfectly happy in the comedy lines
given to Sir Richard Cursito, the jock
eying, jollying Londoner, who "smashes
his toppers" in true-blooded style and

FOR THE MONUMENT FUND.
Successful Entertainment by Sell
vrood Young People.
The entertainment given last night in
the Firemen's hall, at Sellwood. for the
! Second Oregon monument fund, by the
young people of that place, was a com
plete success in every way. To Miss
Lavene Madden and Miss Rita, Bell be
longs the credit of starting the movement
for the entertainment, and also for its
successful management. The hall was
packed to its utmost capacity with an ap
preciative audience. About the stage the
decorations were patriotic and effective.
A programme of unusual merit was ren
dered. It was opened by an Instrumental duet
by Mrs. Walter White and Mrs. Seth
Wills, which was followed by an excel
lent solo by Miss Alice Schuyler. John
Tyron delighted the audience with a
humorous recitation, well given. The
banjo and guitar solo by Messrs. Jones
and Held was excellent George E. Dug
dale sang, in fine voice, "Good Night,
Farewell." Then followed a living pic
ture, "Dewey at Manila," which was well
managed. Dr. Sellwood gave a fine solo,
and Miss F. L. Montgomery sang with
fine effect, "The Star-Spangled Banner."
"The Volunteer's Farewell," with s6vg
accompaniment by Miss Jessie McCuhlln,
was very effective, and given with the
lights turned low.
This was followed with a selection on
mandolin and guitar by Mr. and Mrs.
zirnglebel and Miss Lavene Madden.
Professor Jones then convulsed the audi
ence with his character songs, and was
repeatedly recalled. Professor Lance's
admirable recitation, "The Soldier's
Dream of Home," as a living picture, was
a very fine number on tho programme.
The cake-walk by Sellwood juveniles
closed the exercises. Then followed a so
cial. The young ladies in charge were
warmly congratulated for the success of
their patriotic effort A handsome sum
was realized, which in due time will be
turned over to the monumentfund..

CATTLE ARE SCARCE.
Hard to Buy Beef in Southern Ore
son. F. B. Waite, a well-known cattleman of
Douglas county, who was at the Perkins
yesterday, says the scarcity of cattle in
Southern Oregon makes It difficult for
Joca). butchers to obtain beef enough for
home supply. Buyers from abroad visited
that section of the state last year, and
bought up all the available cattle at good
prices, thus leaving the ranges bare of
everything but young stock. Even milch
cows are scarce and high, though Mr.
Watte was one of the wise stockmen who
hung on to their breeding cattle. Buyers
have recently been visiting the Umpqua
and Cow creek ranges, and offering op
tions 'on calves which will not be year
lings until the ensuing spring. The price
offered was ?20 a head, but found few tak
ers, not because the offer was considered
low, but on account of the scarcity of
yearlings, stockmen not wishing to sell
themselves clean out of the business.
Cattle have wintered well thus far on
the Umpqua ranges, and very little hay
has been fed out. Grass Is good, and
steers are fat enough for beef, but are
considered too precious tosacrlfice in that
manner. Cattle-buyers, Mr. Walfe thinks.,
need not visit Douglas county this year
in the hope of making purchases, as the
stockmen of that locality have the choice
of three good markets their home butch
ers, Portland and San Francisco.
