They had caught a number of trout lng the forenoon, and had enjoyed the jrt of hooking and landing a number i steelhead salmon, which they had to back In the stream, as they could not them home. About noon, as they re fishing away from a gravel bar at head of a fine pool, they heard the r of rushing water, and looking up river saw a flood coming down on m, sweeping along a lot of sawlcgs and ter umber. They manured to get out I the river and up among the timber In e to -save their lives, and from this ;e of safety watched the flood roll 'by. Esy Imagined that there had been a udburst or waterspout up the river. x, alter waiting three hours, the stream ne clear and they were enabled to ume fishing, but had not much luck. ley found out afterward that there Is lam In the river some 10 miles above ere they were fishing, which Is opened noon and in the evening every day, to Bh out any sawlogs which may have bn thrown Into the stream, and incldent- to wash away the banks of the Ier. This sort of thing may be a good ng- for loggers, but it is bad for fish fishermen. Tr Untagged Dogs. Numerous com- Llnts have been made about the large iber of unlicensed dogs running at Ege In the city, but so far the dog cher has not made any attempt to re- the number. The committee on lth and police give out that the reason not starting out the dogcatcher is that majority of the dogs not -wearing 11- ise tag" had them, but have lost them. say .that the last lot of license tags scured were very poor ones. There was lslderable credit taken to themselves by committee on account of securing these pnse tags for about half -what the tags the year before cost, but If these were such poor things, the credit Is undeserved. The facts In the case abably are that the dogs which have tags say that they have lost them. and. the committee Is short of funds to pay catching the dogs, they pretend to be- ?e what tho dogs say. The number of Itagged dogs Is increasing so rapidly lit the probability is the committee will an have to turn the dogcatcher loose self-defense. 2UARTZ From the CoQinLLE. At the of- of Captain Harts, United Stales En- teers, is to be seen a specimen of quartz tm Tupper Hock, an immense bowlder ixr Bandon, from which rock is helng ten to build the jetty at the mouth of Coqullle. The specimen is almost en- kly mineral of some kind, probably the incipal part being pyrites of Iron, but pre Is doubtless more valuable mineral, a test will be made to ascertain just lat there is in It Tupper Rock Is one a number of what appear to be bowl- rs of immense size, scattered along the last about the mouth of the Coqullle, d which make this one of the most :turesque spots on the Coast.

These bowlders were great ob- uctlons to the entrance of the Coqullle, a number of schooners were wrecked ire, and finally it was found necessary I change the entrance of the river, which now about half a mile from where It 3d to be. Jasie Birds Nesting Early. H. Kler- n, who lives out near the Sandy, says it tne birds are nesting earlier than lal this season. He sas that a few rs ago he found a ring-neck pheasant's 3t with five eggs in it, and as the blue use have been "hooting" and tho lied grouse "drumming" about his place some time, he supposes that they are Jting, too. This promises well for the jp of game birds this season, for the aspects are favorable for the first rtche3 hatched coming to maturity. Some jisons. when the Spring :s late and the rds too previous in bringing out their st broods, most of the young ones perish. It when the "weather is favorable and the 3t brood does well, another and perhaps lo more broods are raised, and then Ime birds are plentiful in the Fall. sk Motter Spoke.

The matter of registration was discussed at some length, and it was explained that all foreigners could be registered six months after having declared their Inten tion to become naturalized. Many of those present had not been aware of this before, and all were urged to register at once, and thus qualify themselves for vot ing at all general elections In the state. The reason why many of them had not understood that they could vote on their first papers is that they came here from Minnesota, where it is secessary for a foreigner to have taken out his final pa pers before he is entitled to vote for Presi dential Electors.

MorrVson street brldgetenders will feel very much relieved when the Madison-street bridge has been thrown open again, as they have had their hands full trying to regulate the immense throng of pedestrians, bi cyclists and teamsters since the upper bridge has been closed for repairs. The new deck of the Morrison-street bridge shows signs of wear already, and the planking of both approaches is getting very thin. These approaches will be the next to force their attention on the powers that be for renewal, though how they can be torn up for repairs in the presence of the heavy traffic Is a problem yet to be solved by the superintendent of the bridge.

"MY PRECIOUS BABY." IntcnKelj- Pnnny Comedy Opened Week at Metropolitan. The week opened last night at the Met ropolitan Theater with a splendid pro duction of the intensely funny English comedy, "My Precious Baby." This com edy was written by F. C. Burnaud, editor of London Punch, and was first produced with great success at the Criterion The ater in London in 1S79. In the interven ing 21 years it has never lost Its popu larity. It has been years since it was played in Portland. It is a clean, whole some comedy, with a laugh in every Una and not a dull word In It. There Is no waiting for climaxes, as every situation is a climax in itself. It is more nearly adapted to the players than anything that has been given by the Metropolitan jtock company, and the management was extremely fortunate In arranging the cast. It went through with a vim and dash that Is essential to a full appreciation of its merits. Charles W. King, who is making himself so popular with the Met ropolitan clientele, assumed the part of Mr. Dawson, the tutor, and was applaud ed at the conclusion of every sentence. Carl Nixon acquitted himself well as Mr. Elrkett, .the studious father, and Dolly, the hero of the play, fared equally well through the Impersonation of Alex Beu ford. Oscar Norfleet always demonstrates the fact that he is an accomplished come dian, and last night. In the role of Ned Talbott, he kept the audience In a flut ter of merriment. Page Spencer as Cap tain McManus, Eddie Halland as the Hairdresser, and Charles Waldron as William were up to the requirements of the play. Some of the best. In fact the brightest, parts of the comedy are in the female roles. These were admirably filled. All the women are pretty, and they were ele gantly costumed. Miss Laura Adams was cast for the part of Mrs. Birkett, but yesterday afternoon she was summoned to Oakland, Cal.. by the death of her father, and her place was filled at the last moment by Miss Myrtle Selwvn -whose clever Interpretation left nothing to be desired. It Is needless to state that interesr cen tered In bright, pretty, winsome Georgie Cooper. In her songs she comes like a whirlwind of melody; in her speaking parts she is like dashes of bright sun shine. It would be difficult to imagine how her playing In the role of Betsy the Maid could be improved. At the request of many patrons she sang her former success: "I've Waited. Honey, Waited Long for .You." and the audience was highly appreciative. Miss Rosamond Hollls won applause as Madame Polenta, and Miss Lelia Abbott was well cast as Mrs. McManus. Miss Rita Abbott as Nellie Bassett. who mar ried Dolly, and Miss Leila Dean, as Clara Peyton, did cleverly. The really hilarious scenes, when laughter from the audience comes so spontaneously, are where the tutor sings his instructions to the pupils In operatic style, and when some extracts from the "Bohemian Girl" are sung. The attraction is one that takes well, drives away the blues, and it -will no doubt draw large orowds all the week. "My Precious Baby" will hold the boards at the Metro politan all the week. 4 9 CUT ON BICYCLE SUNDRIES. 1900 Model Solar Gas Lamps, $2.00; 1900 Model 20th Century Gas Lamps. $L90.

Building was niBhed in all quarters of Portland last week, and no time was lost on account of the weather. Work that had been delayed on some of the large business blocks on account of scarcity of brick has been resumed, as the material has come to hand in better supply. Ex cavation for new foundations was also prosecuted vigorously, and both teams and teamsters were in brisk demand. A few weeks of such weather as that of last REVOLUTIONIZING ALEXIS E. KRYE, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS OF CUBA. Alexis E. Frye. well known In California and in the New England states, as an educator and author of text-books, was appointed to the position of Superintendent of Schools In Cuba. Ave months ajyo, by Secretary Root. He Is revolutionising' educational "tiethods In the Gem of the Antilles. At that time there were 4000 Cuban children golnp to what were called public schools. Mr. Frye beltevca that by June there will be 100,000 ohlldren on the attend ance rolls of the Cuban schools, which is over half the children on the island of school age. Mr. Frye wrote a school law, which was issued in the .shape of an order from. General Brooke's headquarters. He then went to work to carry out the provisions of the law he had written, and was absolutely' alone In the task. He started on the assumption that Cuban children were like all other children, and that education Is secured by the beet system wherever It U needed. Mr. Frye reoelves a salary of $4000 a year for his work, and donatta each month's pay to oine Cuban charity. He Is a man of wealth, and la In love with his work. Through Mr. Fryc's offices, 1000 Cuban teachers will attend the Harvard summer nchool this Summer. He asked President Eliot for free tuition for them, and his request was Fronted. "While these teachers are in the United States they will tour the country and vlalt tho Pacific Coast. The school law of Cuba compels every child to attend school, and the reve nue for maintaining schools is derived from 'the cystoma Superintendent Frye Is a brother of Albert I. Frye, chief engineer of the Pacific Bridge Company, of Portland. will witness the elevation of a good many new building walls In all quarters of the city. The new Multnomah Clubhouse, on Chapman street, near Yamhill, Is nearly roofed In, and plasterers will probably begin on the interior in a few days. The lofty frame structure known as the hand ball court annex also looms up prominent ly to the north of the main building, and indications are that both buildings will be finished early in the Summer. On the Corbett four-story brick, corner of Fifth and Stark, the piers aro rising on the front walls, and by the end of the week the carpenters will be placing the second-story timbers In position. A fresh supply of Newberg pressed brick has arrived on the grounds, and no further delay from lack of material Is antici pated. This structure has to be finished early In the Summer. At the Good Samaritan Hospital, a large amount of building material has been de livered during the past week, and the bricklaying force resumed work Saturday. As the south and center wings of the hos pital are to be finished by August, no further time can be lost. The old hos pital Is full to overflowing of patients from all parts of the Northwest, and, In fact, the superintendent is obliged to re fuse applications daily. Such being tho case, the new buildings will be hurried forward ag fast as possible. The new Brooke block, corner of Wash ington and Park, has been roofed in, and preparations are being made for the lath ers and plasterers to begin on the in terior this week. There Is some talk of tearing down the three-story frame build ing ocpupylng the block on the west of the Brooke building this Summer to mako place for a substantial brick structure reaching to Stark street on the north. The edifice now occupying the Washington street front Is used ns a double set of double houses, combining four dwellings In all, and their contemplated removal proves that retail business Is rapidly growing westward along Washington street. This property belongs to A. Berg. The foundation walls of the new Ore gon Telephone Company building, on tho southeast corner of Alder and West Park, are rising rapidly, and by the end of this week they will Teach the level of the side walk. The basement -walls are of solid concrete, and will be among the most sub stantial In the city. Concrete pillars are being erected on the corner of Third and Gllsan streets to support the addition to be built by the Willamette Iron Works. Tho foundations will be ready for the carpenters toward the close of the week. The Brown lot. on Sixth, near Washing ton, has been excavated, and the base ment walls are rising rapidly. A large amount of stono Is being used, and the building, although to be of but one story at present. Is likely to be raised several stories In the near future. The present structure will cost $5500. Among the most Tecent permits Issued by the City Engineer are: J. E. Caldwell. $2000 two-story dwelling, Larabeo street, between Dixon and Du pont Mrs. Wlndeman, $300 cottage, on East Couch street.

The East Side Lumber Company, on East Water street, has Just completed a large house south of the main building, where finishing material may be stored. This company also has been extending its yard between East Water and East First streets by tne erection of more platform room for slorage of lumber.
