THTC MOUSING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MAT 1', 1900.
CITY NEWS IN BRIEF
AmmemeBti Toatcbt.
CORDRATS THEATER (Washington Street)
"Kncia o Tennessee."
Now Is the Time to Registek. The
registration office "will be open, this morn
ing from 5 to 7 o'clock, and also on
"Wednesday and Thursday mornings, to
accommodate steamboat men . Beginning
this evening and until the close of regis
tration, May 15, the office "will be kept
open until 3 o'clock P. M. People -who,

Hearing 14,000.
More Theories About Sajlmon. Fish
Commissioner Reed some time ago offered
10 cents apiece for the scars on salmon re
sulting from the removal of the adipose
lin by Commissioner McGuIre several
years ago. Two of these fish have been
caught at Pillar Rock cannery, and a
number at other canneries. Mr. Tallant,
of Astoria, has raised Commissioner Reed's
offer, and will pay 50 cents each for the
scars mentioned. The remarkable thing
about this matter is that the marked fish
caught this year weigh about the same
as those caught last "year say 20 to 25
pounds. The marked fish should be about
& years old, and if a Chinook at that age
weighs any 25 pounds, it would seem likely
that a 60 or 70-pound fish must be much,
oluer and from this It may be deduced
that the theory that ail the salmon which
came into the river die without returning
to the ocean is Incorrect. The catch of
salmon since the season opened April 15,
is the largest made in, April for a number
of years, and the pack is now double what
it was at this time last year.
Incorporation of Irrigation Compant.
Articles of incorporation of The Deschutes
and Crescent Lake Irrigation Company

also to take the waters of Paulina Lake
and East Lake, Crook County, and store
them In reservoirs -vith the waters of the
Deschutes River, and distribute the water
for household, domestic and Irrigation

This Is the third company of this kind

Match Race Arranged For. Sheriff
Van de Vanter, of Seattle, and John Pen
der, of Portland, have had several. argu
ments lately on the speed quality of
their respective horses. Captain John and
Erect. It was decided yesterday that the
best way to settle the question was for
the horses to trot against each other, so
a match was arranged to take place in
Salem next Fall during the State Fair.
' The race will be for a side bet of $500, mile
heats, three in five. The money part will
bo but a small factor in the race, and
as both horses are among the best trot
ters In the Northwest, the race will prob
ably be worth seeing.
"Wants a Specimen. A paragraph pub
lished in The Oregonlan a few days ago
In regard to a plat of clover at Alblna
which was being destroyed by some un
known insect, has attracted the atention
of A. B. Cordley, entomologist at the State
Agricultural College. He Is desirous that
some of the Infected clover with some of
the Insects which are supposed to be de
stroying it bo sent to him for examination.
He will be pleased to determine the In
sects, and to suggest such remedies as
aro available. S. C. Beach, who furnish
ed the Information, will please see thai
this matter is attended to.
Manager Surprised. C. H. Haysted,
manager of the "Knobs o' Tennessee"
Company, now playing at Cordray's. was
1 pleasantly surprised last evening after the
performance. He w as called to the stage.
I by the news that his presence was re
quired immediately, and found the com
pany waiting for him, one of their num
ber having In his hand an eleven stone
diamond horseshoe, which was presented
to Mr. Hajsted with an appropriate
speech. The manager has just celebrated
this SSth birthday, and the token was one
of the esteem In which he is beld by the
members of his company.
Pulling Out Snags. The government
snag boat Mathloma, after fishing up a
snag at Oceanic dock Friday removed two
o!d "sawyers" from near the boathouse
above Morrison street bridge oil the East
side. They w ere taken away down below
Swan island and put where they will be
I out of the way for the future. Yesterday
"he Mathloma went down to Lewis River
to remove some snags from the mam river
below tho forks, there being yet a por
tion of the appropriations for that part
of the river unexpended. On her return
she will be laid up at the government
boneyard.
It Depends. The season for riding bi-
I cycles on the bldewalks came to an end
last night. It Is expected that bicyclists
w III now confine themselves to the streets
for a season, but some of them are figur
ing that It will be safe to keep on riding
Ion the sidewalks till election day. This
Imay be correct as far as any danger of
Btho law being enforced is concerned, for
10 laws run now, nor no officials make a
iretense of enforcing them while the
political pot Is a boiling.
Recovering. Harry Pointer, a laborer.
2mp,ojed at the new Custom House, Is
Islowly recovering at the Good Samaritan
from the effects of a fall last week by
rhlch his skull was fractured. He was
iconsclous at the time his fellow work-
len found him, and has not yet been
ible to tell how it happened. Pointer Is a
single man.
Foundation for Dock. The foundation
Ifcr the extension to Greenwich dock No.
whkh is to be 100x125, and which rests
an mudsi'ls. is about completed. It Is only
a warcl-oLfe and not a wharf, so a piling
irounuancn is not necessary. The super
structure will be pushed to completion as
lpiaiy as practical.

Park Policeman Appointed. At the
regular monthly meeting of the Board cf
Police Commissioners last evening, Harrj
Morgan was appointed special officer to
serve at the park. Morgan had previously
been appointed by the Board of Public
"Works, and his pay will be derived from
funds at the disposal of that body. The
Board instructed the secretary to formu
late a protest to the City Council against
granting a certain 50-year franchise to the
Te'ephoi e & Telejraph Cor.'pan as sxld
franchise would be of no benefit to the
Police Department of the city. The relief
Board of Fire and Police met on the same
occasion, and decided not to grant relief
hereafter, except when the applications
are accompanied by a physician's certifi
cate. Oregon Berries in Market. The first
case of Oregon strawberries arrived in the
market yesterday morning from Dillard,
10 miles south of Roseburg. They were
very fine berries, but owing to their hav
ing been shipped at an unpropltlous time,
arrived here Saturday evening and were
not delivered till Monday morning, and so
were not in prime condition, and had to be
sold for 20 cents a box Instead of bringing
40 cents, as they ought to have done. How
ever, there will be plenty in a few days,
and the shipper Is wished better luck next
time. California berries of very good ap
pearance were selling yesterday at retail
at 15 cents per pound. California Is not
likely to, get much Oregon money for
strawberries this season.
Annual Exercises ToNiairr. The fif
teenth annual meeting and free concert
given by the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society
of Oregon, will take place tonight In the
First Congregational Church, -when it is
earnestly hoped that every one interest
ed will attend, as, besides the excellent
musical programme which includes some
of the best artists In the city, the reports
of the officers will be of interest, show
ing their work throughout the past year
and the means by which they took charge
of 374 children and placed out in homes
360. The exercises will commence at 8
o'clock sharp, when it is hoped that the
large church will be crowded.
Botant "Will Be Published. The work
on Botany produced by Thomas Howell,
the veteran botanist, who has put in near
ly 20 years work on it, is now in a fair
way of being published. It will contain
the complete Cora of the Northwest, and
will be of great value to science. Owing
to the poor health of Mr. Howell, the
publication of the work was stopped after
several parts had been published, but now
a wealthy patron of science has taken the
matter in hand, and the book will be com
pleted as soon as possible. The difficulties
In the way of getting such a work printed
here can only be understood through ex
perience. Must Keep Off the "Walks. Chief of
Police McLauchlan says he intends to en
force tho ordinance which forbids blcjcle
riding on the sidewalks from the first of
May. Many complaints have reached him
lately of accidents happening from colli
sions between wheelmen and pedestrians
on tho sidewalks, in the various parts of
the city, and he considers the only safe
plan Is to exclude riders from the walks
altogether. Patrolman throughout thj
city have been ordered to arrest all vio
lators of the ordinance.

ToUng Men's Republican Club of South

to make about as much as anybody out of
the nominations.

laborer employed at Wolff & Zwlcker's
Iron works, suffered a broken leg yester
day morning as the result of a misstep.
He was taken to the Good Samaritan hos

A DELIGHTFUL RECITAL
HAMBOURG, PETSCnXIKOFF AND
LACHAUME WELL RECEIVED.
T&cy Will Give a. Return Concert at
the Metropolitan Thurs
day, May 31.
Hambourg, Petschnlkoff and Lachaume
were welcomed by a very enthusiastic
audience last night at the Metropolitan.
Encores were frequent and the perform
ers were as obliging in responding, as they
could afford to be under the circumstances,
since they had to leae on the train for
Seattle immediately after the concert.
The honors of the evening were divided,
pretty evenly between the two soloists.
Hambourg proved to be a pianist of
truly marvelous technic, and unusual vi
tality, ha Ing a broad and comprehensive
style, indomitable energy and pei sever
ance, together with a sp.endld endowment
of physical endurance. In appearance he
is very boyish, with a heavy mass of
straight hair, and a dumpy form, as quaint
and old-fashioned a figure as though he
had stepped out of an old daguerrotype of
50 years ago. He has a heavy tempera
ment, that, when once roused, shows as
much turbulent force as that of a young
Rubinstein; but he Is lacking In poetic
grace and imagination, and is not able to
enter Into the subtleties or sensuous re
finements of such a composer as Chopin,
for example. He has no fine sense of
rhythm, no piquancy, and is, on tho whole,
better fitted to Interpret the strictly clas
sical school of composers pre-eminently
Bach rather than the romantic. Yet It
cannot be denied that he Is one of the
most remarkable specimens of pure vir
tuosity that the world has seen in this
generation. When It Is remembered that
he is still hardly more than a boy only
21, Indeed he must be viewed as nothing
less than a prodigy.
His reading of the Beethoven sonata
("Appasslonata") was strictly in accord
with accepted traditions, showing schol
arly study of the various Interpretations
bequeathed us by master artists; but It
lacked individuality. Technically It was
a, wonderful tour de force. Tho remark
able flexibility of his hands and wrists
-were shown to great advantage in the
two brilliant Chopin etudes, with their
heavy demands In the way of octave
work for both hands. In the Gluck
Sgambotl melodie, his singing touch iwas
heard at its best; this is always a little
hard and cold; he does not seem to have
any fine feeling for delicate distinctions
in light and shade. The Liszt rhapsodle
under his hands became a volcanic thing,
full of fire and passion, with a superb
display of octave work, which was re
ceived by the audience with tempestuous
approval; but his reading lacked in spon
taneity and Individuality. H.s own'gavotte,
that preceded it, was an interesting study
a brilliant thing with bold, not over
beautiful, modulations.
Petschnilroff is a poet in temperament,
as well as a great virtuoso In technique.
Ttoe Grieg eonota was an achievement
that must rank alongside the best work
Ysaye has given us. His bowing is free
and bold, and one notes the high wrist
tfiat distinguishes the French school of
violin playing. His double stopping la par
ticularly clean and accurate. And In addi
tion to hte brilliant and. sure technique, he
Is able to bring: a tenderly sympathetic
tone from his Stradlvarfue. His reading
of tho W3eniowski concerto was charac
terized by its mingling of grace and fire
with caresslnsr beauty of tone, and brought
him an ovation from the appreciative aud
ience. The simple tenderness of the
Tschalkowsky melodic and the piquant
fantastic grace of tho OoJabreso, by Bas
zlnl. Showed his versatility to excellent
advantage.
Lachaume's work was of a nature to at
tract attention and unqualified admiration,
even in company with such brilliant ar
tists as Petschnlkoff and Hambourg. He
has roro and discriminating musical taste
of a very high order, sudh as fits him to
bo a concert soloist; and this, no doubt,
ho would bo If it were not that the Amer
ican market eeems to bo overstocked this
season with great pianists. In the Grieg
sonata nnd the Salns-Siaens variations. In
tho Beethoven minuet which, by tho way.
was not properly credited to Beethoven
on tho programme tho artistic beauty and
IntelUgenca of his work greatly com
mended itself to the audience.
Tho music-lovers of Portland will bo
glad to hear that this trio of artists will
givo a return concert in thte city May 3.
RATES ARE TUMBLING.
Gradual Yearly Reduction In
FreigUt and Passenger Tariff.
Cheap excursions to the West for the
Summer have already been arranged for
by a number of Eastern lines. In some
cases rates run as low as 1U cents a mile.
Year by year tho railroad companies have
gradually reduced their rates on freight
and passenger traffic. Time wao when
tho principal cauee of worriment was
that the railroads would raise rates. Com
petition and tho gradual Increase of pop
ulation, with greater patronage, have tend
ed to lower charges. An Eastern pas
senger agent somewhat plaintively says:
"Wo must fill our trains, and tho sit
uation Is getting strained."
ORIENTAL FREIGHT RATES.
Traffic Men SeeUlnpr a Common Un
derstanding. SAN FRANCISCO, April 30. A very im
portant meeting of railroad men was held
today in the office of R. H. Countiss, head
of the transcontinental freight bureau. It
was a gathering cf the traffic managers
of tho transcontinental railroad lines and
of tho steamship lines plying between this
Coast and the Orient. The object of the
meeting was to come to some common un
derstanding in regard to trans-Pacific
freight rates, and to stop tho cutting that
has been going on for some time, to the
great loss of the transportation compa
nies. The conference was held In secret,
and was attended by about 30 traffic man
agers. The conference organized by electing
J. C. Stubbs, of the Southern Pacific as
chairman. Tho steamship representatives
explained the traffic situation In the Ori
ent. Later those delegates were appoint
ed a special committee to report tomor
row a plan by which present unsatisfac
tory conditions can be remedied. It Is un
derstood that the committee will recom
mend an advance In many of the rates on
cargoes from the Orient to this country
via Pacific Coast ports. It is stated that
tho steamer lines have been cutting the
rates In question until now some of them
are lower than by the Suez route. But
little change Is to bo made In rates from
this country to the Orient A few of
the latter, especially, tm machinery, may
be Teduced.
The committee Is said to favor an Iron
clad agreement on the part of the steam
er lines and railroads for the maintenance
of the proposed new tariff. It will also
propose, particularly as concerns freight
from the Orient, that the steamer lines
agree to a division of the tonnage. It Is
Intimated that the rates on tea and silk
are to be advanced.
TO XOSIE AND RETURN.
Pacific Coast Steamship Company's
New Excursion.
The Paclfio Coast Steamship Company
has arranged for a tourists excursion to
Nome and return by way of Seattle and

thence to Skagway. thence the railroad
to Closelefeh, thence by river to Daw
son, thence by river steamer to St.
Michael's, thence by steamer to Nome

variations of the cxcnrslon route have
been provided for, and U is elective with
the excursionist which he will take. The
entire distance Is 6230 miles, and the trip
will be made In about a month. The com
pany has lamed a folder describing the
route and giving rates, etc., and the en
terprise meets with much Interest In the
cities of the Coast- This will be one of
the longest excursions ever arranged, and
it will take the tourist through a coun
try which, though famous the world
around, Is little known save to argo
nauts, newspaper correspondents and mili
tary men.
