OLDS & KING SEEKING EASTERN MONEY FORTbAXlVS EFFORT TO GET A "WOOLEN MILL. " Orest'i Inducements Advertised in Xjcadlagr Textile Journals Inter est In tlie Enterprise. If Portland does .not get a woolen mill it will be through, no fault of the Manu facturers' Association of the Northwest. TJa association is advertising in Eastern textile journals that it would like to corre spond with a competent and experienced woolen mill man concern'ng the establish ment of a three-set woolen mill at Port Had. The person sought must be a thor oughly qualified business man, as well as a. practical wool man, and be must have some capital. In addition, Secretary Mc lsaac has furnished the newspapers data on wool and woolen manufacture. The following has been published in Bennett's "Weekly, of New York, and the Textile Manufacturers' Journal: Orepon 1b a wool-produelBg- state, the clip lor JSS9 halnr been afcout 22.000.000 pounds, ot whteh only a small proportion 3 000,000 cr 4,600,090 pounds Is used by local mills of this state. The balance l shipped to the East, to be retained later made up into cloth, blankets ani clothing, to the great lorn of this state. We are eotns to make an effort to make Portland the wool market of Oregon, as San Francisco fcs oC California, and bj the erection of a -woolen milt here, and the cheap transportation from Kaetem Oregon and the "Willamette alley, this, we think, can be accomplished Portland's shipping facilities for the p-oducts of a woolri mill here are as good as can be found on the ooaet, but the great feature is the unsurpassed climate of this section of the etate for wool manufactures Our climate has no superior Bvewvwe of temperature and absence of clec tricltv from the atmosphere, and freedom ot the water from alkali, are ery rarely so fa-vorably united as they are here. "We can make here goods equal to the famous Scotch chev lots from ur Valtey tiool and kersejs and fine meltons frwn the Eastern Oregon fleeces. This, of eowrse, implies that ne ante the machinery fot the work, and are operating oa such a scale as to secure skilled labor. It has been proponed by this association to form a corporation with a capital stock of $MM,iJ0Q, 1000 shares at a par Aalue of $100 eaefe. "What we want to do in this connection Is t secure a practical, experienced woolen-mill man. with some capital, to take hold of the matter, aad Portland will subscribe the balance of the money to build and equip the mill Secretary Mclsaac believes that many letters will be received by the association as soon as the information about the wool Industry of Oregon is thoroughly dis seminated in the East. A few hae al ready been received, including some from persons seeking employment In the mill. A West Virginia man of large experience writes: "I have put up four mills in this coun try , and have seen their weak points after getting thorn started. A mill put up right is half the success of the enter prise. When i took hold of a mill in West Virginia about 18 months ago it had been scat down half the time, and losng money the other half. I set the machinery to work on a new class of goods, and we have had orders enough to keep us running night and day for over a j ear. I expect .to make the firm over $12,000 cash this season. You say jou ant to put up a. three-set mill. To do so you must have sufficient capital to equip and run your sail! without having to borrow one dollar, tor it is through borrowing that nine tenths of the mills fall. If you wish to make a success of the mill jou munt pay latoeest to your stockholders, and not to outsiders. I shall want to know th fol lowing: At what wages can unskilled labor, such as joung women from 14 to 36, boys from 14 o IS, and common la borers, be had? Second, is the water soft or hard, and can an abundance of it be obtained without cost? Third, the cost of fuel and water power. Fourth, quantity aad quality of wool available in our d s trict. and Its cost on a scoured basis. Fifth, shipping facilities of Portland." Secretary Mclsaac will furnish all In quirers the Information they request. He says that if the right man can be got the mill will be assured. At the February meeting of the directors of the Manufacturers Association a letter was read from F. J. Laduron, of Muncle, Ind., offering to establish a window -glas house at Portland. He said he would locate & lS-pot furnace at a cost of $1500 Secretary Mclsaac wrote to Mr. Laduron that he wodW have great trouble In get ting cboan fuel and other material for making glass at Portland. Aside from these Important Items, the freight rates would be almost as much to ship go6ds north and south along the coast as to ship them to Portland from the East For these reasons the association declined to advise Mr. Laduron to come to Portland. J L. Hackett, of Heppner, offered to es tablish a knitting mill to manufacture knit underwear, hosier, sweaters and theatri cal goods, if granted a bonus. The asso ciation declined to offer a bonus, but offered to Interest local capital In Mr. Hackett's enterprise. The action of President Zan in indors ing C. H. Mclsaac for appointment as spa-, cial census agent to gather manufacturing statistics was approved. The matter of holding a manufacturers' fair this year was discussed, but no action was taken.

There Is to be no more free tuition in the public schools for children of non residents. The board of school directors, who have had this matter under considera tion for some time, finally arrived at a decision Thursday night to grant no more petitions for free tuition, and bave or dered that the rule requiring pupils in the schools who are children of nonresi dents to pay tuition, shall go into effect Monday next, February 12, the beginning of a new term. This rule has always been on the books, but of late practically no attempt has been made to enforce It, and the number of nonresident pupils In the schools has become so large as to be a serious burden on the district. Many of the princ pals ha e neglected to give notice, as required, at the beginning of a term or quarter, of the, number of nonresident pupils In at tendance at their schools, as the giving1 of such notices amounted to nothing, and it is not known 'how many such non resident pupils are ndW in attendance, but it Is probably much larger than is gen erally supposed, and doubtless exceeds 200. In many cases it is almost Impos sible to detect them, on account of sub terfuges resorted to by parents to conceal the fact. The 'board will notify all principals to ascertain and report the number of non resident pupils In their schools, and bills for tuition will be presented to them. All such bills are payable in advance, and the rules provide that the seats of all such pupils whose tuition remains unpaid 10 days after date of bills shall be for feited. The rules provide that the regular tui tion in the schools of thief district shall be as follows: High school, per quarter of 10 weeks.$10 00 Grammar school, per quarter of 10 weeks 7 50 Primary school, per quarter of 10 weeks 5 00 It Is provided that persons pursuing any regular course In the high school, who shall become 21 ears of age during their school life, shall not be charged tuition, and that regular graduates may pursue their studies in the high school at any time after graduation, free of tuition, but all other persons, whether residents or nori- residents, who are over 21 years of age, shall pay the following rates of tuition: For any one study, per quarter $2 50 For any two studies, per quarter 5 00 All tuition bills are due and payable quarterly in advance, at the office of the school clerk. All payments must be made for the full quarter, or for so much thereof as remains when the pupil enters. If a tuition pupil leaves before the close of a quarter the board will refund the bal ance pro rata on the certificate of the principal of the school. As to who are nonresidents, section 59 of the rules provides that "every person between the ages of 6 and 21 j ears, whose parents or guardians live outside of this school district, is a nonresident, and can not be admitted to free tuition." e "THE WINTER'S TALE." Second Presentation of the Comedy Drairs an Immense Audience. The seating capacity of the Marquam was again tested last night on the second. presentation of "The Winter's Tale" by the James-KIdder-Hanford combination. As on the opening night of the engage ment. It was a perfect performance. It takes a peculiar -combination of talent and artistic devotion to produce what was probably the latest and ripest prod uct of Shakespeare's genius, although likewise one of the least known. As Will lam Winter remarks in his "Shadows of the Stage": "There is so much beauty In the comedy of 'The Winter's Tale,' so much ttiought, character, humor, philos ophy, sweetly serene reeling and loveli ness of poetic language, that the public ought to feel obliged to any one who suc cessfully restores It to the stage, from which it Is usually banished." Therefore, the James-Kldder-Hanford combination is deserving commendation for their lauda ble attempts In this line. Manager Wag enhals and Kemper have "provided them wfth an elaborate production, stinting them In no detail of scenery, costumes or properties calculated best to realize Shakespeare's great work. Portland's appreciation of this union of artistic performance with scenic richness has been very marked, and actors and managers have laid stronger hold upon tho best -class of theater-goers than ever before. "The Winter's Tale" this after noon; "The Rivals" .tonight. w m e HOURS QUICKER To All Points Bast. From the "Onion depot are dispatched dally, by the O. R & N.

Entire Country at the Mercy of Bands of Cutthroats, IV ho Hide In the Mountains. About 40 discharged regulars from the Sixth Infantry passed through Portland yesterday, on their way East, from the island of Kegros, where they had been stationed for several months. Thev came over from Manila on the transnort Nevada. which arrived in San Francisco last week. and w ere very glad to be back In "the States" again. All had an opportunity to re-enlist for another three years, and t would iiave been awarded their mileage money, which varies in amount between i $500 and ?SO0, but this was no induce- ment, they said, to brave the ravages of r fever and the continued chaslhg of "nig gers" through tall grass and marshy fields, as tho "niggers" are all barefooted and can run right away from the soldiers, hampered with clothing, shoes and ac coutrements. Several noncommissioned officers were in the party, and these all agreed that the people of Negros Island hail the American occupation with delight. A band of 1500 Ladrones, or organized cutthroats, have been terrorizing the people of the entire Island for many years, the Spanish sol diers not being able to do anything with them. These Ladrones pounce upon towns and villages, plundering property, murder ing the male Inhabitants, and earning off the women to the Interior mountain tasL nesses, where the outlaws are said to be fortified. They are armed with guns cap tured from Spanish soldiers, and seem to be well supplied with cartridges, which they get "somewhere." On the approach of these Ladrones, the inhabitants flee to the convents, which are stoutly built, and command a view of the vicinity. The town police rush into the convent with the rest, and thus the La drones proceed to murder, pillage and burn unmolested. To show what these people think of American prowess, the "preci dente" of one of these coast town re cently called on General Smith, at Dum agetta, for 30 soldiers to protect his peo ple from 300 Ladrones, expected to at tack the place. These were furnished and divided so that 15 in each squad pro ceeded to surround the 300 A short skir mish ended in the flight of the Ladrones, who are as big cowards as those on Luzon. The returning soldiers are all of the opinion that It will take quite a large number of soldiers to fortify all the little towns In Negros, which, though not so large an Island as Luzon or Mindanao, contains quite a large population. Pursu ing the Ladrones Into their mountain fast nesses, they think, Is out of the question, as the whole country Is covered with grass "higher than your head," and the Ladrones He in wait as the soldiers pass by, and the latter are at a decided dis advantage. Said one returned soldier: "If they would only stand up and give us battle, we could make short work of them, though, if they fought like the Boers, nono of us would be left to tell the tale." WITH SOLDIER'S HONORS. Joe L. Berry of Company M, "Will Be Burled Tomorrow. The bodies of three Second Oregon vol unteers are expected In Portland this morning on the Southern Pacific. The departure from San Francisco of the re mains of Joe L. Berry, F. B. Refeno and J. H. Fenton, as announced in the press dispatches, makes their arrival in Port land 9.15 A. M. today. Mrs. Berry, moth er of one of the deceased soldiers, went to San Francisco, and is returning with the body of her son. A number of the volunteers will be at the depot when the train pulls In, to aid in receiving the bodies and for the purpose of assisting In whatever funeral arrangements are de sired by the parents. t ' Mr. Berry, father of Joe L. Berry, an nounced yesterday that his son would be burled In Lone Fir Sunday next. The services will be held in Hassalo-street Congregational church, at 3 P. M., Chap lain W. S. Gilbert, aided by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Farquhar, officiating. The fu neral will be mllitan'. and all members of the regiment are Invited by the parents to attend. W. A. Platts, formerly first sergeant of company M, Berry's company, has charge of the military arrangements, and will select the firing squad and pall bearers from the dead soldier's comrades. How Berry Was Killed. Berry was one of .the three .members of company M who were killed Ik the night attack on Marllao. He was of the outpost consisting of 12 men and a corporal sta tioned about three-quarters of a mile from camp down the railroad track. The Fil ipinos succeeded in getting between the outposts and the camp, without disturbing any one, and this squad was ambushed while endeavoring to get to a place of safety after firing commenced. Hoffman and Payne were killed immediately, but Berry and Millard feigned death after be ing badly wounded, were stlrpped,- muti lated. stamned unon and bruised 'Tintll 'the 1 savage instincts of the black patriots were Q e e e o s o THE TIME i e e UMBRELLAS Your choice at Each Vi 11 ' o o e o gluteed, and then Left. Both were alive when found next morning, but Berry lived only four or five hours, while Millard re covered completely, and today lives to tell one of the most bloodcurdling tales of his and Berry's experiences that comes from the Filipino insurrection. As the boys of company M stood over the mutilated forms of their companions the next morn ing and watched Berry expire, some vows were registered that made Company M afterwards a terror among the treacher ous amlgos, to whose hands the bloody work was attributed. e FIREMEN'S JUDGEMENT. Council Considers Plana for "Carry 1ib" the $ia,000. 'J-'he meeting of the common council on "Wednesday last adjourned to 2 f. M, yesterday, at which time it was intended to conoider ways and means of providing for the payment of the firemen's ?13,XX Judgment against the city for salaries Withheld. The council has been waitipg for an opinion from the city attorney In regard to the payment of this claim, but he was a"bsent from the city on Wednes day, and had not returned, yesterday, so no action could be taken in the matter. The cuuncilmen discussed the question yesterday before going into session, and it is practically agreed that If the city at torney decides that such a course will be legal, they will order a warrant drawn on the general fund for the amount, to be paid when funds are available. There will be no difficulty in getting some broker to cash the warrant, and hold It In definitely at 6 per cent interest, for money is so plentiful now that opportunities to Invest It safely at 6 per cent are rare. There is another way out of the trouble, which is to have some one buy the Judg ment against the city and carry It at 6 per ctnt If it could be shown satis factorily that the Judgment was all right, men would be ready to buy it at the face, but those wb.o have money are shy about Investing it In .such a claim. As no action could be taken the council pro posed to adjourn till Wednesday next. but on the representation of the mayor that the deputy sheriff was withholding the publication of notice for the sale of S. Pennoyer's property, as bondsman f&r, the city, and pressure was being brought to bear to have the notice published. It was decided that In order to avoid danger of such publication it would be better to hold another meeting as soon as practi cable. The council therefore decided to adjourn till 2 P. M. on Monday .next, by which time City Attorney Long's 'opinion will have been handed in. Major Stprey presided at the meeting, and all the councllmen were present ex cept Mejer, who Is still in the East. Routine Business. An ordinance providing for the time and manner of constructing a sewer offTEast Thirty-third street was passed. George Zittmayer presented a petition asking that money paid for a wholesale liquor license be refunded, he having paid in addition the full amount now required for a license for dealing in liquors. To Inspect Railway Route. An Invitation for the mayor and council to attend a meeting of Multnomah County Driving Association, at the office of Cake & Cake, this evening, for the purpose of considering plans for the coming season. rand to discuss and consider such other matters as are essential to th'e welfare of the association, was read and filed. Before the council adjourned, Martin, chairman of the street committee, stated that he committee was going out to look over the route of the street railway franchise asked for the Portland Traction Company, and extended a cordial invita tion to the mayor and the other members of the council to accompany them. The mayor responded by inviting the whole council, on their return, to accompany him to North Front street to loojc over a por tion of that thoroughfare, which some of the property-owners interested desire to The council then adjourned till Febru have improved, an' 12 at 2 P.

Thoughtful and Interesting Paper on the Works of the Great English Writer. A topic with "whicH the people are quite familiar through universal discussion was the attraction at ttte meeting df the Woman's CJub yesterday afternoon. John Ruskln, whose recent death has brought his works to the foreground of attention, was the subject of an interesting paper by Mrs. Julia Marquam. All present joined in expressing hearty appreciation of Mr3. Marquam's address, which, from tho spontaneous participation in the dis cussion following, created a deep interest. Miss Marie L. S. Connor, a graduate of the. Boston conservator' of music, but latterly of Nebraska, charmed the audi ence in two violin solos. Miss Connor's home Is by the Columbia, but since her musical talents began developing her work has been In the East and Middle West, and a particular desire was shown by club women to hear one of whom much favorable comment was printed. In "Allegro," from "De Beriot Concerto," Miss Connor conquered completely, and no doubt could be expressed of the tu multuous encore, to which the violinist responded in a plaintive air. Mrs. W. 15. Thomas played the accompaniment. President Julia Comstock, In the chair, announced Mrs. Marquam after the close of the business session. Mrs. Marquam said in parti "John Ruskin is beyond question the most prominent, and by general consent the most interesting, man who has domi nated the art world during the present century. He bas endured more criticism, favorable and severe, than any man of his time. "Painters, for whom technique Is a mat ter of the first and all-engrossing im portance, will always be ranged against the critic and historian of art. Yet Rus kln has moldedi the taste of the public to an enormous extent in matters esthetic, and has exerted an influence so strong that it may still be traced In the produc tions of jtoday. Let us see what manner of man is he who has but to put his pen to paper to 'set the whole art world in motion, and kindle our admiration for his literary excellences, while amusing us with his originality and quaintness, start ling us with the bitterness of his scorn, with the heat ot his eloquence, and the eall of his contempt and ridicule, and charmlnj us with the wealth, beauty and poetry of his diction." Mrs. Marquam passed hurriedly through remarks on Ruskin's personality, his love affairs, the vast scope of his work and accomplishments and took up a character biography, beginning with his defense of the painter. Turner, which made both famous. This introduced the great critic's efforts in this department of his labors, which were treated at more length. Con tinuing, she said: "Ruskin's theories on architecture are deemed utterly impractical by modern architects, but those same ethical, humane principles, that all labor should be an ex pression of thought, that it should be the work of heart and brain, not merely of the hands, are bearing much good fruit in another direction. For they form the basis of the system of industrial art schools which J- Liberty Tadd is striving to establish throughout this country. Twenty-fle years ago Ruskin established and maintained industrial art schools In England. He gave much of his own val uable time in instructing and preparing teachers to carry on the work, but in this noble enterprise he encountered the strongest opposition, and it remained for practical America to test tho usefulness of his theories. "Time and tide gave the best under standing of his political economy. It Is the central work of hi3 crusade. Before Darwin or TyndaU gave their theories to the world, he declared that natural science should not be pursued as an end in It self, but with a -view to utility and in struction. "He published a journal called Fors Clavegra.' To read it was like being in a thunder storm. Nothing escaped his ridicule. He taught men practical lessons In street cleaning by taking the broom himself and keeping the street before the British museum cleaned as. It should be. This was like the etherial Ruskin. "His lectures at this time were attended by the most eultureel and Influential au diences, who said it was utterly Impossible to give even an abstract of the beauty of expression, sweetness of voice and ele gance of imagery, all defying the utmost effort of the pen. "Ruskin was far ahead of the public, one of the real thinkers and leaders of men. He was a progressive genius of a normal logical sort, with continually wid ening horizon to the end. His economy is now practically accepted, his religious teachings must await the. dawn of another century to be understood. When we wish to compare him wkh the men of his kind, k must be with Savonarola or Plato, rather than with, Hoslitt or Hammerton. He is often compared with Carlyle, but their ideals were antithetical. Ruskin was one of inexhaustlbe love of aH humanity. Carlyle was one of order and rule, indif ferent, burly, contemptuous of the luck less Individual. Ruskin was a man per- J feet In his sense functions. In his men- JUST RECEIVED . High-class Novelties in Ladies' Man Tailored Suits New Black Crepons Men's New Negligee and Fancy Starched Shirts .

In the discussion following. Rev. W. R. Lord, who was present by invitation, was first called upon for a few words. H expressed surprise that Ruskin had sot been subjected to more adverse eritietem, and expressed the belief that his admirers must be prepared for considerable of such. A strong Illustration on this, point and Its lesson -was: "I have never been very near Mount Adams. So far as I have seen, it is my choice of the mountains. If I go up very near to It, I should expect to find some great faults In It, yet I cannot make a better one." After remarking some of Ruskin's general qualities, Mr. Lord summed up by stating that notwithstand ing the faults that would be found" with his works on political economy, their fal lacy in detail, the essential principles of his teachings on political economy were true. If the principle of kindness and consideration were to be recognized in po litical economy, what rule was there to confine their application? That love for fellow being was growing, the speaker cited the fact that many concerns that were wont to cover any act by the term "bwrt ness Is business," now do not resort to this method of reasoning. Dr. Thompson, Mrs. R. M. Bingham and Mrs. Levi Young each had a few words or quotations germane to the subject. ENTHUSIASM RAMPANT. Largest "Ward Clnb In the City elects Officers.
