'Wsiz, Catc Salmon on Puget Souni. Astorlans complain that the salmon com bine has driven a. number of outside can .nerymen and their capital to the Sound. From the fact that J. W. Cook, tvho Is a member of the combine, and some of the men who have been In his employ for 3nany years, are about to start a cannery .t Port Townsend, It would appear that there are others who are leaving the Co lumbia. Mr. Cook and his associates have Incorporated the Port Townfiend Packing Company, with a capital stock of S100.OD0, all paid up, and have purchased the de serted nail works at Port Townsend, which la 100x240 feet, for a cannery, to which they will make such addition as may be necessary. The directors of the new com pany are J. W. Cook, J. i. Spencer, J. T. 2kIcCabe, Robert Stangland and Bartholo mew Wall. Some of these .men have been In Mr. Cook's employ from 11 to 25 years, and If he has any failings have had time to find out what they are. The officers of the company are: J. W. Cook, presi dent; J. T. McCabe, vice-president; J. X. Sper-cer, secretary and manager. The lo cation of the company at Port Townsend g.ves them command of the entrance to Puget sound, and they will probably string nets clear across it and catch the salmon "'a comin' and a gwine," and so get about ell of them. If any other cannerymea wants to go Into business on the Sound there is another large deserted nail mill to be had cheap, and the buddings of the defunct company which was to have stocked the waters of the Northwest with wLaleback steamers are also yawning for a tenant George T. Myers, when he gets a lot of Columbia river cannerymen around him on the Sound, will be like the boy whose father married agiun, -"not so lonely as he was' Collection or Birds' Eggs. L. I. Hawkins, who is untiring In his efforts to procure desirable additions to the city's tree museum, has just secured a very fine collection of eggs of Oregon birds. There are aboat 700 eggs in the collection, all arranged in trays and properly labeled with their scientific and popular names. The collection is a joint one, the result of nine years' collecting on the part of two Oregon boys, 'William L. Flnley and H. T. Bohlman, who have kindly loaned them xo the museum, where it is to be hoped they may remain permanently. There Is scarcely a stream in this state that is navigable for a canoe that Messrs. Finley and Bohlman have not been up during their summer outings in search of natural history specimens. They expect to add to the collection frequently. Among other things recently presented to the museum are a copper pheasant and specimens of beavers' teeth, presented by D. M. Aver i.L A. Bartholemew has presented a buga boo, or gigantic "vegetable" mosquito, made from the seed pods of the Martynla I .ar.t, which are used for pickling. Joseph Paquet presents an old-fashioned Russian coffee mill, and a stick of wood cut by beavers, and H. T. Hudson has -loaned a niasslve hipbone of a mastodon. Petrified Log. Andrew Allen, of Port land, has a 75-pound section of petrified cedar log, which he is going to present to Colcnel Hawkins, for the Portland free museum. The chunk was discovered in the Columbia river last summer, when Mr. AJen was raising the steamer Regulator, which had sunk near Cascade Locks. The prehistoric log has .some well-denned ax marks on its surface, probably made with an Implement belonging to the stone age. What the ax was made of, or what man ner of man wielded it, Mr. Allen does not hazard an opinion about, but is willing to leave the question to Colonel Hawkins and the other scientists. He says, however, that It doesn't take so very long to turn wood into stone if the conditions are just rlg3t, and cites the telegraph poles set in some parts of Arizona during the civil war as an example. Many of these poles have turned to stone at the butts, though in the ground but 37 years. To a casual observer, the turning of a post into stone wuld seem to be an advantage, -as most of them are inclined xo rot instead of solidfy. Stone is brittle, and the wind breaks the poles off, so that becoming solid below the surface of the ground is not an advantage, after alL To Szaet Pennoter's Mill. O. A. Rtan, who lately purchased a controlling lrterest in the Pennoyer sawmill, has bought the G. W. Allen residence. In Hoi loday's addition, and his family will arrive here early in February to take up their abode there. Mr. Ritan is hard at'TVork gett.ng the Pennoyer mill in order for operation, and wll probably have it ready to start up In live or six weeks. After lying Idle for four or five yearsjfthe ma chinery Is a little stiff in the joints, and it wJl require considerable oil and elbow grease to get everything working smoothly. When the whistle of that mill blows to call the crew from refreshment to labor for the first time. It will sound like a voice : fr,m the dead past, and will cause Mr. Pennoyer to turn over in his bed and curse that terrible gold standard. Retitkning Regulars. A number of discharged regulars of the Fourth, Thir teenth and Seventeenth regiments passed through Portland yesterday, bound east ward on their return iron Manila, They haJ recently arrived in Sac Francisco hy the transport City of Pekin, and they all expressed themselves as being very glad to get back to "the States" again. M-st of them had served in the island cf Luzon for nearly a year, and their com plex Dn told of battles with tropical fevers, as well as with Fillpmos. They were unanimous in their Tesolve never to go back to the Philippines, saying they "had enough." About 100 in all passed through 3 est rday and last evening. They were nearly all young men, some evidently scarcely cut of their teens. New Lighthouse Tender Wanted. The lighthouse department has sent out plans and specifications fora new tender for this lighthouse district, to be called tbe "Heather," and sealed proposals for the construction of this vessel will be received at the office of the lighthouse board, in Washington, D. C, up to Feb ruary 2), 1900. The Heather-is to be built cf s'eel, and will be a little larger than the Manzanlta. The proposals are to state a f xed sum for which the Heather will be delivered at the b.uoy depot, near As toria, within 12 months from the signing of the contract The plans and specifi cations have been sent to shipbuilders gen erally all over the country, and can be seen at the office of Lighthouse Inspector Taussig In this city. In the Lumber Business. Messrs. Hale and Kern, who have made lumber schooners out of three of their large barges used during the summer in carrying rock fcr the Gray's harbor jetty, may now be cersldrred as fairly in the lumber freight irg business. One of their schooners is cischarg ng a cargo of lumber In San Fran cisco. Their tug Samson is on the way ta San Francisco with another, carrying a cargo of 750.000 feet of lumber from Gray's harbor, and the third schooner is loaded with lumber at Inman & Poulsen's mills. As soon as the Samson returns with the schooner now being unloaded, she will take away the one at Inman & Poulsen's mills, and so on Indefinitely. Arrested the Blind Beggar. J. H. Ffer, the blind beggar Tho has been pos ing on the street oorpers with a flaming placard, bearing the legend, "I am blind," and with a tin cup extended, was ar retted by the police yesterday on the tech nical charge of obstructing the sidewalk. He has been repeatedly warned to desist from begging, and ample provision has been made for his support He was xe cently arrested for begging, but was not punished, leniency being shown him on account of his affliction. Dr. Rand has returned from San Fran cisco. In office Dekum building, at usual hours. . ? John L. Vestal, druggist is now located 129 First between Alder and Washington. Knox hats, 1903 block, just put on sale. Buffum & Pendleton. f ; Interesting Relics. Among a number of interesting things recently added to the collection of the Oregon Historical Society is a handsome fish platter, which Is one of a set of 48 pieces which came here around the Horn In 1850. It belonged to Mrs. David Weston, who settled near Champoeg. The painting on this platter compares favorably with the best work In that line of today. In the center is a landscape, with a court gentleman and lady In the foreground, the long train of the latter being carried by a page. On the rim, in ovals, are clusters of flowers of many kinds, beautifully painted. It puzzles one to make out what many of them are, but it must be remembered that there have been great changes In flowers during the past 50 years. Another addi tion to the collection is a venerable brass warming-pan, used in Connecticut away back in 1689. Such things are not in use now, but appear to have been common in olden times, not because the people were efflmlnate, but because their .houses were not tight and the wind blew where it listed, and it was desirable to have the chill taken off a bed before one turned in. New Railwat Crossing. A massive and substantial railway crossing was placed in position at the intersection of Fourth and Washington streets, Saturday night There is always trouble where the street-car tracks cross the Southern Pa cific tracks on Fourth street, on account of the constant and heavy traffic jarring everything and loosening all bolts and fast enings. The new crossing "was designed by Superintendent Thlelsen, of the Port lnnd strpct liailwav Company, and is made as strong as possible. There are three heavy rails on each side of the railroad, one being a guard rail, and the cross tracks of the street-railway are braced by heavy angle Irons, and the whole is firmly bolted by numerous and large bolts. A gang of men has been at work making a founda tion for the new crossing by excavating and filling in gravel to a depth of two feet which will make a solid roadbed, and this, with the extra heavy and strong rails used, will, it is expected, enable cars to pass the Intersection without any of tha disagreeable jolting usually experienced at such crossings. Steam Up in New Mill. Portland is the greatest lumber-proaucing point in the Northwest and is constantly Increasing her facilities in the line. The fine new mill of the Eastern Lumber Company is only awaiting the arrival of a portion of the machinery to be ready for operation. Steam Is kept up in the boilers much of the time, and the engines are used In operating pumps and other machinery, so that they will be all ready for work as soon as the machinery is all In. The North Pacific Lumber Company have just placed two new long .band vesaws in their mill, and contempla'te other additions to their already large plant In a month or two there will be two or three new sawmills ready for operation on the river bank In the South End, beside the Pennoyer milt which is being overhauled and put in order for operation; the new owners are planning to surmount the absence of railroad facili ties for shipping their lumber by arrang ing to barge it down to the O. R. & N. incline. Honor tor Major Eastwick. The many friends of Major P.-G. Eastwick, jr., Second Oregon volunteers, will be pleased to learn that on account of hla faithful and meretorlous services In the San Isldrq, or northern campaign, he was recommended by General Lawton, in his final report of September 26, 1S99, for brevet as lieutenant-colonel of volunteers. Following la an extract from the general's report: "I have the nonor to respectfully request and recommend for promotion fox meretorlous and faithful services during the campaign, the following officers: . . . Major Philip G. Eastwick, jr.. Second Oregon volunteers. In recommending this officer for promotion, I desire to call at tention to his untiring efforts and faithful performance of every duty assigned to him, and, furthermore, the, successful accom plishment of same, as "well as his consid eration of the officers and men under him." Chinese New Year's Coming. The Chi nese New Year begins on Wednesday, and the Chinese are now placing their tubs, pans and pots of lilies out in the sunshine as much as possible, to get them to ex pand their blossoms. The prosperity of the new year depends to a large extent, so the Chinese Imagine, on the blooming of these lilies. If these make a luxuriant growth, and there are plenty of blossoms at New Year's, the coming year will be prosperous, but if the plants make a poor growth and blossoms are few, times will be hard. The Chinese quarter is gay now with ornaments for the New Year celebra tion, and huge shaddocks, sugar cane and many other delicacies are displayed in every windoWr and every place Is loaded for bear with firecrackers, which the coun cil has granted the Chinese permission to explode during the holidays. Marking SoLDrEns' Graves. Every year it costs the Grand Army of the Re public here 510 or more to have soldiers' graves in the various cemeteries marked so that it can be told where decorations shall be placed on Memorial day. In order to avoid this expense for the future, the officials of the G. A. B. here ordered 300 iron marks, which will be placed by sol diers' graves to remain there permanently. The markers consist of an Iron rod, about three feet in length, at the top of which is a circular plate, bearing a representation of a Grand Army badge, and the letters G. A R. raised. There are now about 250 soldiers burled in the cemeteries in this section, and before long one of these per manent marks will be placed by each of their graves. Charitt Work. Secretary Walpole, of the city board of charities, bas been busy of late soliciting subscriptions to the fund for defraying the expenses of the board for the current year. He has met with very good success, having already secured a little over $3000. Last year the expenses of the board were something over $6000. The scheme on which the board is run Is to collect sufficient funds at the beginning of the year to run through the year, and never" go in debt The work being done by the board now is nearly all for families. There have not been so many transients applying for assistance as usual, owing partly to the mild winter and partly to the -fact that the police have been looking sharply after hobos and tramps. Demand for Houses. Notwithstanding that over 500 houses were built In this city last year, desirable houses for rent are still scarce, and there are a large num ber of people coming in who find it difficult to secure any place to locate. There are some large houses vacant, for which a rent of $45 per month Is demanded, but this Is more than the majority of newcom ers care to pay. A number of houses, cost ing from $1200 to $2000, are now under way, and scarce a day passes without permits for the erection of such buildings being is sued, and the prospect is that there will be many more houses built this year than last. Agents say the demand for houses of moderate rent in large, and that the number of new arrivals is constantly in creasing. Force to Be Increased. The street cleaning department is to be temporarily increased to 50 men, probably today, in order that the streets of the city may have one more thorough cleaning before the end of the rainy season. The 10 ad ditional men to be put on will not expect to make' full time or to be employed per manently, as the board of public works, which has charge of the street-cleaning department, has arranged for Superin tendent W. A. Hart to increase his force for a time, and when warm weather comes it will be reduced to 30 men. There Is only so much money for street-cleaning pur poses, and the expenditures must be kept within that amount Superintendent Hart says that with his increased force he will be able tp clean up the streets thoroughly in five or six weeks. Critically III. William Elliott, a pioneer of 1846, who lives near Clackamas station, had a very severe attack of heart disease about noon yesterday, and his con dition is such as to cause fear that the end is not far off.

The entertain ment consisted of addresses, recitations and songs, followed by dancing and a splendid supper, prepared by the Native Daughters. It is evident that both cabins in the City by the Sea are prospering. Exceptional Beggar; A very interest ing piece of human character is to be been in a Chinese beggar on Second street, The poor fellow Is blind, and is supported by regular contributions from a few white jfuP v-EWIJlAighlJEVADA HERE - -- fe'r Wlk ' - Enjoying-a Brief Rest B.efore ji J NSsg Her Appearance Tonight. iC JIJ Mme. Emma Nevada, the great prima donna, arrived In Portland Jast evening, and Is comfortably quartered at the Portland. She la accompanied by Loula Bloomberg and Seldon Pratt, who assist In the performance, and by (her husband, Dr. Palmer, and her manager, Charles L. Young, her loely little daughter, Mlgnon Palmer, five servants, a governesa and 62 trunks, most of them filled with madame'o Parisian wardrobe. Besides these, there, are hatboxca and shawl cases galore. But for a lew affectations, which are artificial and were no doubt acquired by a long- residence abroad, Mine. Nevada la thoroughly cordial and democratic In. her manner; as mucho so as the average American woman of "Western birth. Mme. Nevada was asked about her experience Jn Seville, Spain, where she was singing In the opera, "Lucia," the night war wna declared with Spain. She replied that the etory was too old to talk about, but ehe nevertheless related how the audience turned their backs on her until she had sung some time, when their artistic natures came to the rescue, and her art was applauded, while her nationality was hissed. Mme. Nevada said. In reply to a direct question, that she believed America has a great future In grand opera. In fact, she has already signed contracts with Mr. Young to begin an American tour next October In an opera that is being written for her by Massenet. During the Bummer months she will produce this opera in Paris. She will not consent to give grand opera. In English. Nevada's daughter. Miss Mlgnon Palmer, besides being a very beautiful child, la said to havo a voice as lovely as that of her mother. As 19 well known, the great diva was born at Alpha, Nevada county, Cal., and was reared at Austin, Nev. Since her advent on the the Pacific coa3t, she has met hundreds of people who claim Austin aa their home. Several were at the hotel last evening. Her manager usually carries a stock of pug dogs and canary birds to present to the prima donna's compatriots. men as well as from his own countrymen. The peculiar thing about him Is that he never asks for anything until questlpned in regard to how he eupports himself. He is never seen out of the Chinese quarters, but he hobbles along from one section to another, guided by a tall stick. JDn ques tioning him in regard to his affliction, he answers In a voice pitiful enough to turn the hardest heart. He only asks f6r a nickel, and few are those who refuse it to him. Approach op St. Valentine's Dat. The near approach of St. Valentine's day is being heralded by the wmuow aispiay of several stores In town. The tawdry chromos styled "comic valentines" are out as usual, but dealers say the sale of these is decreasing every year, while' the demand for the more costly ones Is Increasing in a corresponding manner. Last year the girls took the liberty to send these love missiles to the friends In the Philippine Islands, but now that the boys have returned, a different turn of affairs is to be expected. New Line Nearly Completed. The Portland Street Railway. Company have the switch on their Nineteenth-street ex tension, between Upshur and Vaughan streets, almost completed, and expect to begin operating cars over the new line on February 1. Two additional cars will be ' put on the line, and trips will be, made as at present, every 10 minutes. The ex tension is from Sixteenth and Thurman to and along Nineteenth street and Sher lock avenue to the St. Helens Toad. i ENGLAND NOT REPRESENTED Sent No One to Attend Pro-Boer Meet ing:.

NEW STATE MILITIA BILL RECOMMBJfDEfi BY GUARD CON VENTIOUT AT iXDIANAPOLIS. It tIrovIde for a Second Line of - Defense Will Be Introduced ' In Congress. ' A new form of state militia- Is? proposed by the national' guard associations tha't met In Indianapolis last week. A bill has been drafted, which will be presented In both houses of congress by Its advo cates The term "National Guard," as ap plied to the active militia force of the respective .states, is changed to "Reserve," and Its object is said to be a second line of defense for the United States in time of war. Specifying the Reserve more particularly, the bill says: "The forces herein authorized shall be organized and established by law in the several states, and shall constitute a com ponent part of the militia thereof; but shall not exceed In any state 2 per cent of its enrolled militia, as determined by the United States census next preceding their establishment and organization. ' "The forces so organized shajl be com manded by officers selected by the respec tive governors or other proper state au thority, who shall exercise and train the Reserve with such system of discipline and instruction as" may be prescribed by the president or congress. State laws shall define the period, form and manner of enlistment, and In addition to the usual oath for guard service, all persons join ing the Reserve shall take as an addi tional oath that taken by persons now joining the regular army. The organiza tion of ad branches of the reserve shall correspond to the organization of the army. Drill and instruction shall be given In the first instance by states, at armories, on drill grounds, at target practice or marches, and, In the second, by the war department, for which purpose the troops of several states shall be collected each year in large camps, for a period not ex ceeding three weeks, when they shall be commanded by a general officer of the regular army, and receive instruction in tactical maneuvers and mobilization. "Uniform, arms and equ pment, as well as ordnance and quartermaster stores, shall be the same as with the army, the small arms and ammunition being of the same caliber and the field pieces of the same type as used by the army artillery. During camp' Instruction the reserve shall receive the same pay, subsistence, etc., .furnished regulars, and the blanks used in military reports and business generally shall be the same as those of the army. While in camp, troops shall, so far as possible, conform to the articles of war, and be governed by other regulations pre scribed by the president for the gorern ment of the army. The reserve shall be inspected at least twice a year, wherever possible, by an army officer. By way of compensation, each officer and enlisted man of the reserve shall receive $1 5($ a quarter, or $5 a year. As to the reserve's duties, the bill provides that: "In time of peace no other service shall be required of the troops herein provided for, at the camps of inspection and mamie ver, than the instruction in mobilization an.d tactics hereinbefore prescribed. The forces so provided for, bowever. may in the discretion of the president be called upon for any escort service, or other duty of honor or ceremony, in such bodies and at sucb. tlmea and pfaces, ana" on such oc casion of ceremony as the president may prescribe; and the troops so caned" fdrth I shall be entitled to receive, while, so em- ployed, and while en route and returning I to said place of rendezvous, the pay and travel allowances authorized for the troops' of "the United States while engaged on similar duty ' f'The secretary of war is hereby autho rized to convene a board, to be composed or, oincers or tne army ana or tne mniuu of the several states, and the said board shall 'be engaged with the duty of prepar I lng a code of regulations for the govern j ment and administration of the troops of I the United States reserve, while estab lished in .the camps of Instruction, or while performing escort duty under the di rection .of the president Sucb regulations. If approved by the secretary of war, shall be printed and distributed to the said re serve for the information and government of all concerned." The text of the bill' proposed by the -t '. iiTv ; f. national guard associations is not suffi ciently familiar to local guard officers for Intelligent discussion. It Is evident that a more compulsory, or, rather rigid, form of militia is intended than the present national guard, and the closer relationship with army officers and conformity In every respect with army organization and meth ods Is to enable each of the states to send forth, without reorganization, bodies of men In thorough harmony with and skilled in the method of work required of troop3 when they take the field. Some guard officers expected a stronger measure than the above, but believe the national guard associations concluded that It was the best that could be enacted Into law. When the bill is presented in congress a concerted effort will be made by guards men all over the country to Influence the representatives of the various states to favor it, and get it to the point of a vote. In the appeal sent by the committee to Adjutant-General Gantenbeln this action is outlined.. The association Is going to make a desperate effort to havo this congress enact some law Improving present condi tions. MARRIED IN MANILA. "Veddingr of Former lieutenant George N. Wolfe. George N. Wolfe and Elizabeth M. Raab were married in Manila December 6. Both are former residents of Portland, and are well known here. The groom went to the Philippines as second lieutenant of com pany G, of the Second Oregon volun teers.
