Preparing for First Trout. Flsher npn nrft c-f-ttinc their tackle ready lor mitt Sunflav. when the trout fishing sea- Ion begins in Oregon. They are glad they kavA nn inmrcr to jro over to Washington to enjoy their favorite sport, lor it has rtten turned out that tney iouno. more tvork than sport. In going aown to uie Hckomin, or SkomoKawa nsning iney ive to leave Portianu on tne nigm uoai, order to save a day, and they are jundled ashore at 3 or 4 o'clock In the lornlnc In the darlc The old-timers pro vide themselves with an outfit which en lbles them to cook eggs and make a pot j coffee, and those who are wise also irrv alone a bundle of kindlings, for it ws 10 pleasant tiding to rustle around for wood to maKe a lire Deiore aayiigni, wiieu sverjthlcg is as wet as water. The hot areakfast puts new lire into them, ana they start on a tramp of two or three to .ight or ten miles up to the fishing jrounds, and by daylight are ready to be rln fishing. Some people would not con sider this sort of thing as pleasure, but an enthusiastic fisherman it is noth ing else, especially if the day .proves fine md the trout bite well, when It rains ill day and nary a trout is caught, even khe fisherman sometimes realizes that fish- ig Is not such great sport alter all. Bass and Pickereu A number of gen. line smail-mouth, black bass, of small size, the largest weighing lees than a xmr.d, and a number of small, snaky-look ing pickerel, were received by a market In this city yesterday. They came from Spokane, and were from a lake In that sec tion, where these fish were planted a few rears ago. A large number of persons 3topped to look at the black bass, prin cipally persons who, in their youthful dajs, had caught these fish In the streams of different states east of the Rockies. There has been a great deal of debate first and last as to the desirability ol I .troducing black bass on this coast, but they are here now, so there is no use in discussing the question any longer. The bass is a gamey fish and furnishes fine sport, but for eating it is a coarse flh. and not to be compared with the trout. In sections where there are no trout, and pike, pickerel, catfish, eunfish, suckers. etc, are the best the angler can find, the black basa passes for a good fish, but to pe ople who have been accustomed to trout and salmon all their lives, tho fish men tioned are nothing but coarse fisn. It Is ta be hoped that the pickerel especially will never be introduced Into the streams of this state, as they are destructive to mest other kinds of fish. "Want Path to Johnson Creek. The Board of County Commissioners has re ceived a petition from the Scott Improve ment Ciub, signed by a considerable num ber of persons, who ask that a bicycle path be built from Johnson Creek, at Myers' mill, toward Portland, to connect with the Section Line road. Between the Section Line road and Lents they want a double-line path, and from Lents to Myers' mill a single path will do. It Is stated in the petition that a great many people want to go from Portland to Johnson Creek on picnic parties, and many of the residents of that section have bicycles and pay taxes thereon, and think they are entitled to have a path out there. The Commis sioners are in the bicycle-path building business, and say they will do the best they can for these petitioners. The cost of constructing bicycle putns is more than many would probably imagine, and aver ages from 530 to 550 per mile, according to circumstances. In some places where much grading or cutting Is to be done, the cost sometimes approaches 5200 per mile. "Want an Eyesore Removed. The Board of School Directors offers for sale the old Holladay School building. Sealed bids for the purchase of the building will be recch ed by School Clerk Allen up to noon April 10. and the successful bidder ! will be required to remove the building ; without 15 days from the date of sale. ' The new Holladay School building Is par tially finished and occupied, and the re maining rooms are now being finished. The contractors promise to have this work done in a week or two, and then the classes still remaining in the old building will be removed to the new oe, to the great comfort and satisfaction of all concerned. As soon as this removal takes place the Board of Directors wishes to have the old building removed from the grounds at once. This Is why the old building is to be sold, and why the terms of sale specify that it shall be removed within 15 days of the time of sale. For the Love of Music. The Louise Brehany ballad and opera company are being brought to Portland from Califor nia by the management of the Y. M. C. A. There Is no thought nor desire on the part of the association to make money out of this venture, the only purpose being to give the membership and lovers of music an opportunity of hearing these artists that have received such an ovation where ever they have gone during the past two seasons. The first half of the entertain ment to be given Saturday night will be a concert programme. In which Louise Brehany will sing some of the ballads that have made her famous. In the last half the company will present the second act of the grand opera, "Martha." Delated by Rains. Showery weather has been delaying the progress of laying .ho wood-block pavement on Madison bridge, and this may cause delay In open ing the bridge to team travel. The side walks will be finished in a few days, how ever, and so pedestrians can soon use the bridge without having to travel out in the roadway. "Wheelmen will have to pick their way past piles of wood blocks and along the planks which are to support these, for a while yet. The new houses for tho gate-keepers are nearly finished, and are a considerable Improvement over the old ones, as they afford better views of tho approaching steamers, and thus en able the watchers to prepare for opening the draw without loss of time. Big Brick Plant. Upper Alblna is soon to have one of the finest and most exten sive brickmaklng plants In this section. James Anderson, who has been In the brick business there for several years, last fall started to put In a steam plant, and will have It ready to operate in about a week. It Is a Potts machine, having a ca pacity of 150,000 per day. The brick are molded from wet clay and then laid on sheds to dry before being burned, so that work goes on continuously during the summer, rain or shine. Business Growing North. Masons and carpenters are at work transforming the Kiernan brick warehouse, corner of Sixth and GUsan streets. Into a store bulld'ng. The dead walls are being pierced In order to Insert plate-glass windows, and the Gllsan-street front has been entirely torn out to give place to a modern entrance. This quarter of the city has begun to show many signs of Improvement within the past year, and North Sixth street bids fair to be quite a retail thoroughfare in the near future. "Story or the Bacteria." Members of the "Woman's Club are invited with their friends to hear "The Story of the Bacteria." given by Dr. Albert E. Mackay, before the home department of the club, in the "Unitarian Chapel, tomorrow, at 4 P. M. The lecture promises to be of more than usual Interest, bringing unseen neigh bors for a visit to the human level. Hand Crushed. John Burke, a young man employed at the Portland Cigar-Box Factory, caught his hand In some belting yesterday evening, which resulted in both bones being broken above the wrist and three fingers badly crushed. He was re moved to tho Good Samaritan Hospital, where the fractures were reduced. Removed. L. Mayer & Co., to 14S Third, near Morrison. All kinds of delicacies.

City Attorney Long has filed the mandate of the Su preme Court in the matter of the delin quent assessments for the improvement of Sixth street. Some of the property owners are tired of litigation, and have come In and paid their assessments, and others are getting ready to pay. After keeping the contractors out of their money for about eight years, the matter of get ting ready to pay should not take up much time. City officials and the public generally will be relieved When the Im provement Is paid for, and the whole tire some business setttled, and the delinquents will also probably be glad to get the matter off their hands. They have had a great deal of amusement out of the matter. Chinese Loafer Sentenced. Lee Foy, a Chinese hobo, was sentenced to 50 days in the County Jail, by Judge Hennessy, yesterday, for trespass. He has been lay ing around doorways and In vacant houses, and refused to leave when told to "move on" by the police. His sleeping apartment all winter has been a hallway In a brick building occupied by Celestials, at Second and Oak streets, and his countrymen get tired f seeing the loathsome Lee Foy around. Though six feet tall and of stal wart proportions. Foy will do no work, and being the only one of his ilk In Port land, he cannot form a Coxey army all by himself. Chinese hobos' are very rare, and the police think this one is out of his mind. Asking School Information. Reginald Balfour, connected with the Central Board of Education, of England, who Is collect ing information in regard to the school systems of this country, called on City Superintendent of Schools Rlgler yester day. He desires full Information as to the system on which the free schools of Portland are run, and also a special re port on the subject of gradation. He has learned that a special style In this matter prevails in the schools of this city, which was invented by Professor Rlgler, and which has been in use three years, and has given good satisfaction. Sure Signs of Spring. Dealers In sport ing goods are making great displays these days of fishing tackle. Rods, reels and lines of all kinds and qualities, fishing baskets and fly books, artificial flies of every kind, color and size, as well as plain hooks of every Imaginable bend, are displayed In profusion. Pocket-flasks, large and small, have not been forgotten by the dealers, and are not likely to be for gotten by the fishef men, for half the sport of fishing is the rest at noon in some com fortable place, and a good swig from the flask and good lunch, and smoke after ward. South Portland "W. C. T. U. The South Portland W. C. T. V. will hold its regular meeting this (Thursday afternoon, at 2:30, at the Immanual Bap tist Church, corner of Second and Meado streets.

IL TROVATORE" LAST NIGHT Boston Lyric Opera Company Scored Another Success. "II Trovatore," as rendered by the Bos ton Lyric Opera Company, at Cordray's Theater, last night, was a musical and artistic treat. Colonel Thompson's com pany has never given a production in this city to compare in any way with last night's success. The grand opera cast with SIgnor Russo at the head Is a stel lar aggregation. Russo last night was at his best. He seemed the very soul of the performance, and his acting as well as his singing was artistic and finished. At times his voice was of the tender, soft, musical Italian quality, always well-modulated, vibrant, while again the robust, virile tones would ring out like a clarion. Russo sang tho 'role of Manrlco. and his rendition will compare favorably with any heard here. The tower scene, with Its "Miserere" and duet between Manrlco and Leonora (Nellie Andrews), received merited recognition from the hearers of a spontaneous recall. The famous prison solo, as sung by Russo, was the climax of the evening, and dwells as the most pleasant of the winter's operatic memories. Nellie Andrews, as Leonora, displayed marked dramatic ability, and her singing of tho florid passages taxed the limits of her voice, but her limpid and brilliant tones were equal to the task and won for her much applause and favorable com ment, Maude Leekley, as Azucena, tho gypsy, acted her part well, and sang tho role with much dramatic fire and inten sity. Frank Maslln. the baritone, as Ruiz, excelled himself. He has never sung In such good voice, and has never made such a favorable Impression as his good work of last night warranted. Stuart Harold, as the Count dl Luna, sang the bass role acceptably. Tonight the comedy people of the com pany will appear in "La Mascotte," and Friday night "H Trovatore" will be the attraction. "La Mascotle" Tonight. "L&. Mascotte." with Its novelties, its superb Amazonian marches, topical songs and wealth of fun, combined with an overflowing score of delightful melodies, will be oresented tonight by the Boston Lyric Opera Company. This Is an opera In which the comedians Henderson and Kunkel are allowed an unlimited sphere of action, and that they take advantage of everj' opportunity goes without saying. The cast is as follows: Prince Lorenzo John Henderson Prince Frederick Henry Hallam Rocco George Kunkel Beppo Stuart Harold Matteo Alex Joel Sergeant Charles Van Dyne Fiametto Miss Maude Leekley Bettlna Miss Josephine Stanton "La Mascotte" will also be given Satur day afternoon and evening. o ICnabe, Sohmer, Hardnian, LudiriKt Compose among themselves "a four-leafed piano clover." and lucky the buyer who gets one.

A- King Wilson, attornoy for James F. Muse, is making a .defense on tecnnical grounds. First, mat the lltle Guarantee Us U-ruet Company was Insured in an em ployers' liability company, whlcn Is there jore the party in Interest, and must ba set forth as such In the indictment; sec ond, that Muse, after going away on ms vacation, acknowledged taking 5620 and sent his note to the company, which was accepted in settlement, at least it was never returned to aim; tnira, tnai in wan ing the money it was only an overdraft, such as was frequently made by onlcera and employes of the company. The defense contends that Muse did not try to conceal himself, but traveled openly tnrough Colorado and other states on some sort of a theatrical tour, registering "by his proper name at numerous hotels, and writing to the officers of the com pany voluntarily that he would not return to work, and had overdrawn. Further, that he inclosed his note for the amount. Muse will also endeavor to show that others would request various sums of money, varying from 55 to several hun dreds of dollars, regardless of whether It exceeded their salary or not. The offi cers of the company deny that any such unbusinesslike practice existed. T. T. Burkhart, the assistant secre tary of the company, occupied the witness stand most of the day, and was subjected to a long cross-examination by defendant's counsel, and was afterwards called as a witness for the defendant. Some books were put in evidence, ana Mr. Burkhart was asked In detail concerning many en tries, some of which he explained. The object of counsel is to make It appear. If possible, that the books do not show that the defendant was short in his accounts. One entry was charged to "Suspense No. 2," and when asked what this meant, wit ness replied, "that Is none of your busi ness." A little later he said that these were private confidential accounts of the patrons of the company. "Isn't It a fact," asked Mr. "Wilson, "that these books are so kept that nobody but the officers of the company can find out anything about them?" "I have gone far enough Into this mat ter." answered the witness. Counsel continued to ask about many accounts, and finally obtained permission of the court to let Muse look over some of the books. The trial will be resumed this morning. Probate Matters. D. J. Moore, administrator of the estate of H. B.
