Experience of a Hood River Citizen
in His Orra Tovrn.
The Dalles Times-Mountaineer.
Last Saturday night a resident of Hood
River was coming to The Dalles on the
train, but went to sleep, and forgot to
awake until after the train had pulled
out of the yards. He got the conductor
to stop and put him off, and as he wan
dered back toward the depot, was encoun
tered by a footpad, who ordered him to
throw up his hands and deliver his money.
He complied with the demand, and gave
up a few dollars Irt silver. Scarcely had
he got started! toward the depot until an
other knight of the road demanded a di
vision of his. worldly possessions. This
fellow dldn'tjget anything, nor did the
third robber, who held him up Just before
he reached te depot When ordered the
third time lo throw up his hands, the
Hood RIveijte began to get used to the
performance, and told his assailant that
he had Just been robbed twice, and had
not even eneugh left to get a meal. This
touched the heart of the robber, and.
handing the yictlm 35 cents, said: "There,
pard, I'm bother oft than you, and I'll dl-

day evenings, 'at the Marquam ".rand the
ater. It Is hardly ne essary to
more than announce Its appearance. The
play has been such a phenomenal success
that it has become a household word. It
Is remarkable the large number of people
who keep In touch with matters theatri
cal. If a play meets with great success
It Is not long before the fact is generally
known. There was so much talk here re
garding "The Little Minister" that Man
ager Helllg, after Its long run of 300 nights
in New York, Immediately took steps to
secure it for his theater, and after a great
deal of difficulty he has finally been able
to do so. The great pride he takes In
announcing "The Little Minister" Is cer
tainly pardonable. The play has done
phenomenal business, and it will be many
years before another play Is produced
that will equal it as a drawing attraction.
The sale of seats will begin tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock:
"Mrs. Quinn's Trrliw" and "Arrnn-Kn-Pogac."
After a successful engagement in the
principal cities of Pugef Sound the Moore
Roberts company will return to Portland
next week and will open at Cordray's
Sunday night in "Mrs. Quinn's Twins"

which will run the remainder
of the week. Miss Moore is at her best
in Irish comedy, and having recovered her
voice, which she was unable to use with
good effect during her recent appearance
here owing to a severe cold, will be heard
in several of her delightful Irish songs.
The company is knoWn as a strong one,

EVER YOUNG AND EVER FAIR.
From the DaVenport Democrat
The preservation of female beauty and
its enchantments by the use of harmless
cosmetics, are duties the ladies owe to
themselves, and to those who value their
personal charms as they appreciate their
moral qualities. Unfortunately unprinci
pled parties too frequently take advantage
of the natural desire to be ever young and
ever fair, and palm upon the market delete
rious acid and mineral poisons which make
a momentary luster at the risk of future
sallowness and ruined health. In the Ori
ental Cream, prepared by Dr. T. Felix
Gouraud, of New York city, the ladies
have a harmless preparation for preserv
ing the delicacy of the complexion, and
obliterating blemishes, which has become
the favorite toilet article of the leading
professional artists, who owe so much of
the leading professional artists, who owe
so much of their popularity to their per

FOR MORE CAR LINES
Traction Company Asks Fran
chise to South Portland.
ROUTE WILL DtSTURB OLD LINES
Rlgrht Asked Over FiftliFrom Jef
ferson South Walls for Standard
Oil Company's Plant. ""
At the meeting of the common council
yesterday, the Portland Traction Company
(old cable road) applied for a franchise
to extend their line from Jefferson and
Fifth streets, by way of Fifth, Sherman,
Second and Sheridan, to First, along First
to Whlttaker, and down Whittaker to
Hood street The building of such an ex
tension will necessitate using First street,
from Sheridan to Porter, over which a
franchise was granted a short time ago
to Messrs. Glass and Smith, and which
has been by them assigned to the City &
Suburban Railway Company. The ordi
nance also asks that the franchise of the
City & Suburban Company (formerly
Transcontinental), from Porter to Whit
taker street, be forfeited and canceled,
because of failure of the company to op
erate cars on that part of First street.
This Is something new In the way of pro
curing street-railway franchises, and
shows how eager the companies are to
extend their lines.
Within a short time the Portland Street
Railway Company has built an extension
In the North End, the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company has secured a franchise
for an extension of about two miles In
the South End, a franchise has been grant
ed for a line from the Union depot over
First and other streets away out to near
the old Potter's field, which has been
transferred to the City & Suburban Com
pany, and now the Portland Traction Com
pany want a franchise to Whittaker and
Hood streets, Involving doubling up on a
part of First street with the City & Sub
urban, and foreltlng the City & Sub
urban Company's franchise on fjve blocks
of First street, where the track lias been
laid for years and operated to within a
year or so. There is likely to be trouble
In securing this franchise, but the Traction
Company think they will get It
A resolution was adopted requiring the
Standard OH Company to Inclose the block
on which their warehouses, tanks, etc., arc
situated with a substantial wall, as pro
tection against fire spreading In case of
accident to their plant.
An ordinance was passed allowing the
premium on Improvement bonds, recently
sold, to be U6ed for the payment of Inter
est warrants for the Improvements on ac
count of which the bonds were issued.
New Franchise Asked.
An ordinance granting the Portland
Traction Company the right to construct
and operate on certain streets was read
twice and referred to the committee on
streets. The route of the proposed exten
sion is from a connection with the present
line of said company, at Fifth and Jef
ferson, along Fifth tv Sherman, down
Sherman to Second, south on Second to
Sheridan, east on Sheridan to First, south
on First to Whittaker, and east on Whit
taker to Hood street. The ordinance fur
ther asks that the franchise authorizing
the Transcontinental Street Railway Com
pany to construct and operate a railway
on First street from Porter to Whit
taker, be forfeited, annulled and can
celed because of the failure of the Trans
continental Railway Company to operate
cars on said part of First street. The
Traction Company agrees, If the franchise
is granted, to begin work within six
months from the time the ordinance is
approved, and to complete the line within
one year. ,
Premiums to Pay Interest.
An ordinance authorizing the distribution
of certain funds realized from the sale
of Improvement bonds was passed. The
city attorney has decided that the holder's
of warrants for the Improvements on
which the bonds were Issued are entitled
to Interest on the same, ante as there ar6
no funds available to pay such interest,
this ordinance meets the situation by au
thorizing the city treasurer to credit the
face value of said bonds to the several
street-Improvement bonds on account of
which they were Issued; to credit the pre
mium to the street and sewer Interest
fund for the payment of Interest on the
warrants, and to credit the accrued In
terest on the bonds sold to the Improvement-bond
interest fund. This Ingenious
method of distributing funds goes to prove
that necessity is the mother of Invention.
Street "Work.
An ordinance was passed authorizing V.
A. Billion to construct a team scale on
Union avenue, which is to be satisfactory
to the city engineer, and to be removed
whenever the council shall so direct
Ordinances authorizing appropriations
out of the attenuated general fund, to
enable the board of public works to re
pair Grand avenue, from East Clay to
the Southern Pacific railroad track at East
Grant street, at a cost of 5500, and to
repair NIcolal street, between Front and
the Northern Pacific railway track, at an
expense of $150, were read twice and re
ferred to the street committee. The gen
eral fund has been tapped several times of
late for such jobs.
Ordinances declaring the proportional
share of the cost of constructing a sewer
In Water street, and establishing tho
grade of East Eighteenth street, were
passed. .
Neighborhood Accommodation.
An ordinance authorizing the street com
mittee to enter into a contract with tho
O. R. & N. Co. for a right of way from
the west end of Wood street to the county
road above, and to construct a sidewalk
and stairway thereon, at an expense of $120,
was read twice and referred to the com
mittee on streets. The sidewalk and stair
way are for the convenience of the people
on Marquam Heights, and to allow their
children to attend the Falling school.
Walls for Standard Oil Plant.
A resolution was adopted requiring the
Standard OH Company to surround their
block on which their warehouses and tanks
stand, on the East Side, with a substantial
wall of brick or stone, not less than 18
inches in, thickness at the top, to be laid
to a line flush with the street grading,
said walls to be outbanked on the outside
with clean earth to the height of at least
five feet.
New Sewers "Wanted.
Resolutions were adopted directing pub
lication of notice for the construction of
a sewer in Twenty-fourth street, from
125 feet north of Thurman street to the
sewor on Vaughn street, and for the con
struction of a sewer in East Twenty
ninth street, from East Yamhill to Bel
mont. The petition of Jennie C. Crosier for a
sewer on East Alder street, and of Lavlnla
Staver, for a sewer In East Ninth street,
were referred to the sewer committee.
A communication from Mrs. M. L. Sut
ton, of Roseburg, In regard to a souvenir,
entitled, "Oregon in a Nutshell," which
she Is preparing for the Paris exposition,
was referred to the committee on ways
and means. The souvenir is a book of
photographs, interspersed with advertising
matter, etc.
A bill1 from A. Caswell, for $147, which
he Imagines Is due h.lm for balance of
salary as poundmaster, was referred to
the committee on health and police.
The petitions of F. Botefuhr, E. Hoch
and D. Germanus, wholesale liquor dealers,
who paid wholesale and retail licenses,
asking that the former be refunded, were
referred to the liquor license committee.
Several petitions for permits for private
grading and other street work were
granted.
Petition to lie Corrected.
A petition for Jho Improvement ot Front
street, from the boneyard south to good
pavement, had been handed to the city
attorney for hl3 opinion on It He fur
nished the auditor with an opinion to tho
effect that the petition was defective, in
that It leaves too much to the judgment
of the city engineer, and that It was very
doubtful If property-owners Interested, who
had not signed the petition, could be made
to pay their assessments for work done
under such a petition. The petition will
bo corrected.
On motion of Baker, 60 days further
leave of absence was granted Councilman
Meyer, who Is detained In New York by
business.
On motion, council adjourned till 2 P.
M., Friday. February 9.
GAME LAW DISREGARDED.
Doc Snot "Wlille Suckllns a Fawn
Bnt No Conviction.
GREENLEAF, Or., Feb. 1. (To the Edi
tor.) It seems funny to read, in the dis
patch from Medford In The Oregonlan re
counting the third failure to convict UUIch
of violating the game law, though "the
defense Introduced no rebutting proof that
(deer) hides were Illegally in posession
of defendant," that "local sentiment here
Is in favor of the enforcement of the
game law." -
I suspect that local sentiment Is about
the same in Medford that it is here In
Lane county. Deer are killed here every
week, and no secret Is made of the fact
A doe was shot some time ago 'While
suckling her fawn within s.ght of my door.
I ate a portion of the carcass. The fawn
waa captured and Is now a mischievous
pet. The game warden can no more en
force the deer law here than a prohibitory
liquor law could be enforced in Portland.'
None of the settlers, if drawn on a jury,
would vote for conviction, and when a
case was taken to Eugene, in the hopo
of getting fr.endsi of the law on the jury,
.the result was the same, with the excep
tion that a lot ot settlers got fees and
mileage for attendance as witnesses, and
they are ready to enjoy another such Jun
ket whenever the warden shall say the
word. The men of this community are
pot-hunters, either. They are not noble
minded sportsmen, who hunt for the pleas
ure of killing and wounding deer, but are
moved by the base motive of procuring
food for their wives and children.
I am not opposed to enforcing the game
laws on personal grounds, as one of these
pot-hunters might be, for I keep no gun,
and never fired a shot at game In Oregon,
but I have a grievance. Ten per cent of
my hay was ruined by deer, who made
trails all over It before It was ready to
cut, to say nothing of the large amount
of clover they ate. A bear wallowed In
one field, but the harm he did was not a
circumstance to the work of the deer.
They also ate the tops off my little patch
of 'beets, ate a good many English turnips,
several cabbages, and a large number of
the little apple twigs which would have
borne fruit next year. They serve my
neighbors no better.
Now, I submit that If the noble race of
sportsmen want game preserved for them
to come into the country and shoot for
sport when their vacation and the open
season come around, it ia not fair to
compel Ua clodhoppers to feed and fatten
that game for them without remuneration,
and I hereby give notice that if such
game attacks my cabbage patch and is
shot by my pot-hunting neighbor, I shall
neither refuse to accept a slice of the
meat nor lodge a complaint against the
violator of the law.
A fence that will stpp deer Is expensive.
If the sportsmen will fence in their game
on their own premises, pot-hunters will
not poach, probably, but It's against hu
man natuie to be insulted by deer in one's
own dooryard and not protestor shpot.

FROM THE HIGH SCHOOi
CLASS OF' 3 YOUNG "WOMEN AND
MEN GRADUATED.
Exercises In the Assembly Hall Ad
dress to Gradnates and Pre
sentation of Diplomas.
Promptly at 8 o'clock last evening, 25
happy graduates of the Portland high
school marched to the tune of a lively
march Into the gaily decorated halL The
whole stage was a galaxy of American
flags, while among the lights and trim
mings of the stage were entwined Ore
gon grape and evergreens. Directly In
front of the stage were a number of ta
bles, draped with flags, upon which lay
the many-colored flowers of the class, of
which there were great numbers.
The class themselves enlivened the scene
much; the glrla, with their pretty white
dresses, and the boys with their evening
suits, from which hung long streamers
of the school cardlna.1.
The high school orchestra opened the
programme with "The Serenade," ' which
was not up to their usual form, but tlujy
redeemed their reputation In their sec
ond number, "Bohemian Girl." They
played "Smoky Smoke," a rag-time ditty,
for an encore. The Portland Ladles' quar
tet, consisting of Mesdames Albert Shel
don, Edgar Coursen, Harry Miller and
Walter Reed, appeared on the programme
several times, and always responded to
an encore. "Doan' You Cry, Ma Honey,"
a negro lullaby, in which Mrs. Coursen
carried the solo, captured the audience,
and was repeated.
Rev. L. E. Rockwell delivered the ad
dress to the class, and his talk was a very
practical one. He told them the thing
before them Is to choose their right pur
suit in life. Continuing, he said: "The
world Is full of people who have made
mistakes. The world Is full of misfits.
Thousands have begun and never finished.
Thousands have begun business active,
but were soon passive. There are some
ministers who should be farmers. There
are lawyers that ought to be ministers.
There aro doctors that should never have
been born.
"The great object of education Is to de
velop what we have. Education is not the
knowledge of books. Education brings
to the front the powers you have, and the
knowledge of the power of others. It is
not- the moon shining- with a reflected
light It is rather a sun shining with
its own great light" Mr. Rockwell then
gave a talk on patience and character,
showing the power of these two charac
teristics in the great men that have lived
before us.
J. A. Strowbridge, chairman of the
board of school directors, congratulated
the class, and presented them with their
diplomas. The graduates then proceeded
to the second floor, where they received
tho congratulations of their, friends.
There were five first honor pupils, name
