Rchards & Frtagle'e Htaetxcte. Malinee and
evening-
Jrwc Dalbk Acquitted. "William
i Smith, & junk dealer, was arraigned yes
terday in the municipal court for re
ceiving stolen goods, but Judge Hennes
s, aiter hearing a large amount of tes
timony decided that Smith had no knowl
edge of the goods being stolen, and so dis
charged him. Smith lives between Seu-
wood and Milwaukie. and last -week bought
some brass castings which had been stolen
from the Bast Side railway shops at Mil
waukee He told a roundabout story of
having bought them from a man who
lived In his neighborhood, but the prose
cution endeavored to show that he ob
tained them from two lads who had stolen
tbem. The courtroom was crowded by
MLwaukie citlEene and a number of East
Side boys were also In attendance. The
castings were restored to the proper own
ers who valued them at 14, though Smith
bought them for M cents.
For Bkttkr Dwrras. This evening, In
tho Chamher of Commerce bulldlmr. the
Multnomah Driving Association will hold
an Important meeting. For a long time
past improvements of Portland's drive
ways hae been discussed, but up to date
no important action has been taken. In
Sen Francisco, New York and other cities
lof ary magnitude speed tracks have been
conslructed at great cost, and drives along
Ipir sjue roads laid out All lovers of
?encry give Portland precedence for natu-
iral beauties, and there Is not a horse
man in the city who will not assert that
Iths jcast advantage is taken here of natu
fral opportunities. A systematic work of
.me character is contemplated that will
r3duce results. At the meeting this even
ting the matter will be thoroughly dls-
ssed, and possibly some definite object
Sutzxutted.
Verdict Against Humane Officer.
:.o damage suit of W. S. Lauthers
igalnst J. L. Wells, for killing a sick
:ree, was decided In favor of the plain
tiff by Justice Kraemer, yesterday. The
iward, however, was but nominal, as
the amount was fixed at $ 50 and costs.
Lathers sued for $160, but the justice
.-aht the animal had been rendered al-
lost w orthless by protracted disease. Jus-
e Kraemer decided, however, that Mr.
rcls had no tight to kill the horse, but
should have proceeded against Lauthers
3n a charge of cruelty to animals. The
wier of the horse showed that a veter
inary surgeon had been employed and
ict eom.e hopes were entertained of Its
mate recovery. Mr. wells made no
lefenee as humane officer, and the suit
r3 brought against him as an Individual.
Salmon From the Sea. A number of
Ine xarge chlnook salmon fresh run from

In 'he market yesterday. They weigh 40
to ',i0 pounds and are as bright and clean

joen coming to market nearly every day,

Photograph of Davenport. Eugene D.
White, grand secietary of the grand cabin.
Native 80ns, has received from Homer
Davenport a splendid photograph of the
Oregon artist. Mr. Davenport subscribes
It as follows, "To my brothers In Oregon,"
following which Is his familiar signature
and a little caricature of himself, um
brella spread, plunging through the
abounding mist of his native state. The
photograph Is very large and a striking
likeness, which adds far more to Its value
among Mr. Davenport's friends than if
the photographer had attempted to im
prove by means of his art. The gift Is
to adorn the grand cabin, where it will
doubtless remain for many years, for
every native son appreciates the high po
sition In the newspaper world occupied by
their famous brother. Mr. Davenport ha&
been made an honorary member of the
cabin, and will be initiated into Its mys
terious rites upon his first visit to the
state.
Hermit Hangs Himself. The body of
an elderly German named Jacob Maas,
was found hanging yesterday afternoon,
in the little cabin he had occupied near
the corner of Twentieth and "Wilson
streets, not far from the Eastern Lum
ber Company's mills. A neighbor who
had missed him for a day or two peeoed
In through a crevice in the shanty, and
when he saw the position of the man,
at once notified the coroner, who took
charge of the remains. Maas had lived
In the cabin for a number of years, all
alone, and It Is supposed destitution and
despondency impelled him to commit the
deed. He had no close friends or rela
tlves, so far as known, but some members
of a Jewish society, learning of the man's
death, are Interesting themselves in his
burial. He was about B5 years of age.
The inquest will be held at 4:30 this after
noon. Native Sons of Oregon. Thomas H.
Benton's cabin. No. 2i, Native Sons of
Oregon, was organized at Corvallls Thurs
day evening, by Grand President Blumauer
and Grand Secretary White, assisted by
Grand Librarian Saylor. The meeting was
characterized by much enthusiasm and the
most profound Interest was manifested by
the members of this cabin in the work of
the order. The leading professional and
bulsness men of Corvallls are among the
members of Thomas H. Benton's cabin,
and as Benton county is prolific Jn mate
rial for membership In the order splendid
results are confidently predicted by the
grand officers. The Native Daughters are
ready to organize at Corvallls, and upon
the consummation of their organization
a Joint reception of Native Sons, Native
Daughters and Pioneers will be held.
Tax Roll Ready Next Month. A num
ber of the prompt taxpayers have already
inquired at the sheriffs office to ascertain
when the 1S99 roll will be ready, and the
sheriff has received not a few letters from
outside taxpayers asmng for informa
tion about It. A clerk Is kept busy an
swerlng these communications. For sev
eral years past the sheriff has not re
ceived the tax roll until April, but this
year he thinks it will be completed and
turned over to him about the beginning
of March.
MARQUAM MATINEE.
'The Winter's Tale" the Bill for This
Afternoon.
Shakespeare's beautiful and fascinating
comedy, "The Winter's Tale," will be pro
duced at the Marquam this afternoon by
the James-KIdder-Hanford combination,
and will probably draw the largest mati
nee audience that ever gathered there, if
one may judge "by the advance eale. Very
few young people of Portland have ever
had the opportunity of seeing "The Win
ter's Tale," for the reason that it is be
yond the capacity of Shakespearean com
panies who have visited the city. Its
presentation at this time Is a rare treat.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
"The Little Minister.-"
Great Interest is shown in the forth
coming engagement of the famous play.
"The Little Minister." No play produced
In -the last century has met with greater
success and "been more enthusiastically
received than has this one. Every one
Is familiar with the famous novel writ
ten by J. F. Barrle. The play Is a dra
matization of his own story by the au
thor, every character being well drawn
and true to life. It Is to be presented
here at the Marquam Grand next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings by a
specially selected company, and a produc
tion complete In every detail. There has
been an unusual demand for seats, and
the success attained everywhere Is likely
to be duplicated here. Theater-goers will
be offered an opportunity to see a beauti
ful play, excellently rendered.
"Arrnh-nn-Pofrne" nt Corrtray'g.
While In San Francisco, a few years
ago, Manager Cordray was presented with
the original manuscript of Bouclcault's
play, ,,Arrah-na-Pogue,' signed by the
author, and used by him when the play
was first staged. Although valuing the
manuscript highly as a theatrical curio,
Mr. Cordray never expected to bo able to
put it to a practical use. Now, however,
the Moore-Roberts company Is to put this
same play on In his theater, and he has.
brought the yellow leaves from his house,
and will stage the play expressly accord
ing to the'dlrectlon of the author himself.
Mr. Roberts was delighted when he
learned that the manuscript was avail
able, and will take especial care to follow
it in every particular. The company will
open tomorrow night in "Mrs. Qulnn's
Twins " -which will be the attraction till
Thursday, when It will be succeeded by
"Arrah-na-Pogue," which will run the re
mainder of the week.

Probably Another SnYnulll.
St Helens Mist
For some time there have been par
ties figuring on the erection of a large
sawmill on Tido creek, about five miles
above the railroad crossing. The capac
ity of the plant if it is put in, will be
69,000 feet per day. The product of the
mill is to be taken to the railroad by
means of a largo flume, and as there is
an almost endless amount of valuable
timber In that region, such a plant could
find employment for many years. Above
thai point on Tide creek there has never
been any logging done, and the timber is
said to be of excellent quality. The In
troduction of such an enterprise In that
part of the county would not only be R
paying investment, but It would be the
means of opening up an exceptionally rich
region.

AFFAIRS ON THE EASTSIDE
PROPOSED SYSTEM OF SWITCHES IS
FACTORY DISTRICT.
Country Saw Mills Busy Cutting
Pathway Ties Alblna, Street
Improvements.
The secondary switch on East Second
street will be completed in a short time,
and other spurs will be put In north of
East Morrison street for the accommoda
tion of buildings there now, and others In
prospect W. E. SpICer, who Is putting
In an extensive mill plant In hii large
building on East First street, between
East Stark and East Washington streets,
will want to receive and send out several
carloads every day when his mill Is in
operatldn. F. H. Page, who owns the
half block fac'ng East Second street, be
tween East Stark and Washington streets,
will cover the ground with a warehouse
when a railway switch 13 built These
short spars are necessary, and by them
only can the warehouses be reached.
Within sir months the main line on East
Second street will be extended from its
present terminus at East Clay to Inman,
Poulsen & Co.'s saw mill. There Is also
on foot a scheme to endeavor to intro
duce a general system of spurs to reach
all through the district east of and In
cluding Union avenue. Many of the property-owners
who have discussed the mat
ter have expressed themselves as favoiable
to this plan.
Bis Tie Contract.
There Is no decrease in the manufacture
of railroad ties on the Sandy and at Pleas
ant Home, and a recent large contract by
the O. R. & N. Co. for ties to be de
livered at Troutdale will make things
lively in that district for several months.
The company has contracted to furnish
another railway company a big lot of
ties, but the full number la not known.
It runs up into the hundreds of thou
sands, and the ties are to be shipped from
Troutdale. The Cone Bros.' saw mill, two
miles from Troutdale, Is closed down for
the present on account of the low water
in the Sandy, which prevents drifting logs
down from the logging camps to the mill,
but as soon as the water rises and the
mill can iesume, It will saw out railway
ties. James Manery, an old mill man, Ifl
now getting out logs for Cone Bros, on
the Sandy. Stone & Cummlng, H lllard
Bros., Proctor & Beers, Johnson & Co., are
sending railway ties to Troutdale, and E.
J. Snow, the Inspector at that place, Is
having his hands full receiving the out
put. A considerable force of men Is em
ployed In loading ties on the cars. Tha
roads over which the tie teams pass are
badly cut up where plank has not been
put down, but the planked road seems to
stand the wear of the teams better than
gravel.
A railway has been surveyed from Cone
Bros.' saw mill on the Sandy to Troutdale,
and the switch will likely be constructed.
The mill has a contract lor supplylng.50,000
feet of lumber for the new cannery to be
erected near Rooater Rock. Besides lum
ber, the mill turns out a lot of ties. It Is
considered probable that the switch may
be extended further back, and reach the
other saw mills.
Portland Boy In Hnwnilnn Islands.
David T. Fleming, who graduated from
the Portland high school February, 1899,
Is at present at Grove Ranch, Para Main,
Hawaiian islands. He came to Portland
from the Hawaiian Islands In 1S96, and
graduated in two and a half years. To his
school friend, Fred McCarver, he writes
an extended letter under date of January
6. He tells about the prevalence of the
plague at Honolulu and the means taken
to stamp It out. He lives some distance
from the plague-stricken city, but at the
time he wrote he said he was not sure
It would not spread to where he Is. The
young man Is teaching school, -and he
writes that he has 43 pupils enrolled In
his room. He varies his occupation by
raising turkeys, and expects to make
money out of them. He says that the
hunting where he lives Is good, especially
pigeon and plover, which are plentiful.
Fleming Is the same energetic, pushing
young fellow he was when attending the
Portland high school. While here he lived
at Woodstock most of the time.
To Help Their Comrades.
Gilbert camp, No. 4, Is very watchful of
all comrades who may need help. Only the
other day the camp sent home to Salem
an ex-volunteer of the Second Oregon, who
was sick and without means. These cases
are coming up constantly, and the camp
is doing Its utmost to relieve every com
rade who may need help. The dues from
the members of the camp do not furnish
the mears necessary, and the camp hopes
to raise a good sum from Chaplain Gil
bert's lecture on the 19th at Centenary
church. Every cent of the proceeds wiil
be used to aid any comrade of the Second
Oregon who may require help. The lecture
will be a recital of the Incidents that
happened in the Philippine islands while

CARNEGIE TURNS HIS COAT.
To Aid Democrats With Wealth
Made Under Republican TnrlnV
Washington. In the- embarrassment of
the Philadelphia republicans In trying to
raise a fund of $100,000 for the repub
lican national convention it is confessed
that the purse ot Andrew Carnegie is
sadly missed. Mr. Carnegie was always
a liberal contributor to republican cam
paign funds. He was one of the "rob
ber tariff barons" of Henry Watter
son's imagination. His iron and steel
business profited by the protective tariff,
and he was willing to' help pay the piper.
Mr. Carnegie is no longer in sympathy
with President McKinley. They parted
company In the discussion of the Philip
pines, and Mr, Carnegie Is now said to be
willing to use his wealth to defeat the
president for re-election. He Is repre
sented as saying to some of his friends
that he will give and give to any cause
to defeat McKinley. A friend of Mr.
Carnegie said today:
"Mr. Carnegie Is so much in earnest
that he offered the president $20,$X),000
the price we paid to Spain for the Phil
ippines on condition that the Islands
should be given their independence. Mr.
Carnegie denied this report when It was
published, but he recently told me it was
true.
"When Mr. Carnegie admitted this to
me I could hardly believe he was In
earnest, and I asked if he meant It. He
replied that he meant It more seriously
than any offer to endow a library.
" 'But could you give $20,000,000?' I
asked.
" 'Well, I have not that much money In
my pocket' he replied, 'but I think my
check would 'be honored for the amount'
" 'How much would you have left?' I
asked.
"He replied that he would still havo
enough to keep him busy giving it away
as long as he lived. He had been of
fered $100,000,000 for his Interests in Pitts
burg, and he had other interests that
were very vaiuable.
"Mr. Carnegie Is the one man I ever
heard of who is devoting all his time to
the distribution of the wealth he has ac
cumulated. He will give to the demo
cratic campaign fund a princely contribu
tion If the democrats make a fight against
what he calls imperialism. He supported
the republican party while making hds
money; now he is trying to give away
his money, and he is giving his support
to tho democratic party and Aguinaldo.

LOOKING OVER THE FIELD.
) Minneapolis Capitalist Investigating?
Pacific Northwest.
I A. L. Crocker, of Minneapolis, formerly
( president of tho board of trade of that
city, and at present chairman of the com
mittee, on water outlet. Is spending a few
weeks in Oregon, Washington and other
parts of the Pacific Northwest looking
over the possibilities of this section. He
Is interested first in mines and mining of
' the whole North Pacific coast, Includ
ing Alaska, and also in the agricultural
possibilities of the unsettled lands of this
section and Alaska. Mr. Crocker is mak
ing many Inquiries concerning the trans
portation problems to Alaska and tha
character of the ores that are to be ob
tained there.
He spent last evening in Interrogating
Dr. E. O. Smith on his famous trips
through the frozen north In 1S9S and 1889.
Mr. Crocker prefers asking1 questions to
answering them. He said, however, that
while he had traveled too much to be
astonished at anything, the resources here
are much more vast than he had antici
pated. The people of the Miuale West
are greatly interested in the possibilities
of this country. "We know," he said,
"what the North Atlantic trade Is; we
know what we are to expect In the South;
we can gayge our trade with Europe, but
1 this, so far, Is almost an untried field. We
want to know what it is.",
I Then he asked Questions to beat the
band.
"Now that all roads are running into
Oregon and Washington," he continued,
"we want to know what they have out
here that we can haul back East and sell."
At Mr. Crocker's solicitation, Dr. Smith
gave a very Interesting and graphic de
scription of his long Journey through the
heart of Alaska.
