THE ATOTOSTNG- OBEGONIAft, TUESDAY, JU2?E 5, 1900. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Amusement Tonight. MARQUAil GRAND John Drew. CORDRATS THEATER GYashlncton street) "Quo VaJls?" Prosperity at Troutdaxe. Dr. Locke, of Troutdale, "who was In the city yester day on business, thinks his village is oa the high road to prosperity, with all the rest of the country. The Union Meat Company now hae about 50 men on Its pay roll at Troutdale, and these men all live within the confines of the town. Then the Cone Bros, saw mill gives work to 0 more, and the two enterprises thus com bine to make Troutdale quite a manufac turing center. A. large number of saw mills are at work along the Sandy, above Troutdale, and there must "be at least 50,000 ties In the stream near the station, awaiting shipment to various points east ward along different lines of rail. Cone Bros., he says, have just secured the con tract to furnish dimension lumber for 20 new dwellings to be erected on the Haw thorne estate, in Portland, for the men to be employed on the new furniture fac tory. A very large iimoer area is yet tributary to Troutdale, and it will take years to exhaust the supply Troutdale proximity to Portland, the doctor thinks, is one of its main advantages, as the farmers In that vicinity can run their produce into a never-falling market, at ehort notice, while being free from the taxation necessarily imposed to support city government. Gift to Bishop Ortii. The high es teem in which Bishop Orth Is held by the congregation of St. Laurence Catholic Church, who have been his parishioners for a number of years, was evinced by the liberal manner In which they chipped in Sunday evening to make up a purse for a parting gift to him. The bishop was saying his farewells to the flock he has had charge of so long preparatory to tak ing his departure for his new field of labor, with headquarters at Victoria, 25. C, when D. McGlll. In his winning and forcible way, suggested that it would be the proper thing to raise a little purge as a parting gift. To the astonishment and evident distress of the bishop, he ex pressed the opinion- that their offering should amount to at least $1200. The bishop protected that he did not need the money, and endeavored to stay the pro ceedings, but the hat was paped and kept passing until there was $1203 In It, which was turned over to the bishop, with the best wishes of the congregation. Valuable Book. An old and very In teresting and valuable book, of which probably very few copies are In existence, has been loaned H. L. Pittock for in spection by George J. Brown, chief en gineer of The Dalles Fire Department. "Unfortunately, it has met with rough usage In the course of its long career, and the title page and part of the index is gone, but it contains an astonishing number of historical documents, beginning with the Constitution of the United States and ending with the journals of the Con gress held at Carpenters' Hall, Philadel phia, September 5, ITU. The book also contains treaties made with many foreign nations and different Indian tribes; acta passed at sessions of Congress In 177s and 1780, and a great number of other in teresting documenta The book would form a valuable addition to the collection of ancient documents of the Oregon His torical Society, and may eventually find Its way there. Depended on How Thet Were Cooked. New Oregon potatoes from the Columbia Slough district are In the mar ket They sell at 3 cents per pound, and as they are not more than one-third grown this Is only -equal to 1 cent per pound when they are full grown. Many have a great liking for little new potatoes of the size of marbles when dressed with cream. They ought to be good, on the theory of the old Scotchman, who. when told that mushrooms were nice cooked in butter, replied, with a snort: "Hoot, moo! gravel stones would be good fried In butter." And he was not a member of the golf club "eyether." Old Oregon farm ers always made a point of having new potatoes on election day, so the tender tubers are just on time this year. Going to Nome. Dr. J. A. Mitchell, of Silver City, Idaho, was at the Perkins last evening on his way to Nome, where he has acquired some mining Interests, but, as he says himself, he Is not going there to mine, but to practice hl0 profes sion. The doctor has spnt most of his lifetime in the mining regions of Montana and Idaho, and figures that his services will be. needed at Nome to extract bullets, as the miners are not going to respect those claims taken up by power of at torney, while the law is liable to uphold the wholesale locators in the courts of Alaska Territory. He therefore'expecte to seo lively times In the vicinity of Nome City this Summer, and goes prepared, with probes and lint for a series of local wars. Raspberries Coming In. Raspberries are coming to market In small quantities, just In time to give those who are getting t'red of strawberries and can afford it an agreeable change. They sold yesterday at 17 cents per pound, while strawberries brought 5 to 6i cents. Strawberries are on the whole hardly up to standard In quality, though many present a fine ap pearance.. Ripe currants are also coming in. Wild blackberries are beginning to ripen, and it is said thev are very plenti ful. Many prefer them for canning to any other berry, the small huckleberry, which is never plentiful, being about as much liked. In roint of flavor, the wild black berry to away up, and every housekeeper oVlres to have -as (many of them as pos sible. t ! r Death of Laura Riobt. The death of Lnura Rlgby. of Woodstock, the notice of which appears In another column, was a peculiarly sad one. Her father. Mr. John Rigby, and grandfather. Captain ElJJott. are both on their way to Nome, and cannot hear the news for ?ome time. The young lady was a etudent in the Portland High School, and was excep tionally bright and universally beloved by her friends and schoolmate. Mrs. Rigby is loft alone with one child, a son. The funeral services were held at 4 P. M. yesterday. An uncle. Mr. Warren Rigby. started lost evening for Oakland. Cal.. with the remains. Increase in Customs Receipts. The Custom-House offic'als are figuring on an Increase in the amount of duties for the present fiscal year over last year's re ceipts of considerably over $100,000. The reeeinte from duties last year amounted to $407,000. while the receipts for the present up to the end of Mav amount to $47(5.000, and there Is about $SO,O00 more In sight from the bag ship now in port, and there is a cargo ship ard an Oriental liner due this month. These could swell the receipts to considerable more than $100,000 above the receipts of last year, which goes to show that the business of this port Is not declining. Central W. C. T. U. The regular week ly meeting of the Central W. C T. U. was held yesterday at the Noon Rest, and opened with devotional exercises. In charge of Miss Burns, Mrs. I. H. Amos, presiding Experiences and results of flower mission work were 'brought out In a moat interesting and effective man ner. This was followed by a lively dis cussion on Christian citizenship, a num ber of women taking part. The closing remarks were made by Mrs. Narcissa W. Kinney, given in her usual earnest and entertaining etyle. Moonlioht Ectrsion on the Columbia River Saturdav evening. June S. Two neamers G. W. Shaver and Altona have been secured. Music by S.

Manager Harrington, of the Pillar Rock cannerj, reports the catch of salmon about as good as can be expected at this time. Consid erably more salmon are being received at Pillar Rock than at this time last year, as now all the seines are being operated, while last year the water was so high that the seines had to be hung up. No high water to put a stop to seining operations la expected this year, and w':en a big run of fish comes to the seiners will be in clover. The run of shad in the river has been very large this season. The Pillar Rock seiners have not been taking shad for some time, as there is nothing in shipping them any longer. The last day they saved the shad in the seines they caught 2S00 pounds and only S00 pounds of salmon. Three seiners are still ship ping shad to this market, and after pay ing freight they receive about one-fourth of a cent per pound for them. At this rate It would seem that It would be bet ter to let the shad escape, unless there Is danger of their becoming so numerous aa to crowd the salmon out of the river. Poor Trout - Fishing. Trout - fishing generally has been a failure this season, and fish stories are practically a thing of the past. The law prohibiting the tak ing of trout under 5 inches in length has materially reduced the number caught, and there doesn't seem to be many trout of any length, great or small. Two fishermen visited Dairy Creek a few days since and made a very good catch, and L. L. Schuman reports having visited the upper waters of Hamilton Creek, near the cascades, a few days ago, and catch ing something over 300 fine trout. He ran across a bear's nest up there, and if he had not run one way and the bear the other, some one would probably have been hurt. He says the lower reaches of all the streams have been visited toy so many fishermen that there are no fish left in them, and In order to find trout one must go far up stream, beyond where vehicles or horses can be driven. Loggers to Combine. Loggers along the Columbia are taking steps to get up an organization similar to that in which the loggers on the Sound have for some time been combined. Circulars have been prepared to send to all the loggers along the Columbia Inviting them to attend a meeting in this city a few days hence to bring about the proposed combination. The object of the combination will not be to raise the price of logs, but to keep an eye on the output of logs and endeavor to see that this does not exceed the demand and thus prevent the price from being cut down. The sawmill men say that the log gers are making all the money this year, for the price of logs has been advanced, while the price of lumber has not. Log gers assert that when logs were away down in price the sawmill men made more than their share of the money, and they desire a fair shake in future. New Street-Railwat Crossing. The Portland Railway Company yesterday commenced the work of removing the old crossing on their Fifth-street line at the Intersection of Fifth and Morrieon streets preparatory to putting in a new one, which has been sadly needed for some time. The new crossing, which has been made at the company's carshop3. Is said by the foreman to be a "dandy." It is of extra heavy iron, and so braced and bolted that an earthquake cannot phase it. The rails will be laid on 10-lnch cteel girders, laid In cement, and the whole structure will bo as solid and permanent as it Is possi ble to make It. Samples of New Mail Boxes. Persons who desire to secure one of the new-fityle mail boxes, which will enable them to en joy the privileges of the "house-to-house" collection of mall scheme, can see a sam ple box at the private office of Postmaster Croasman, where it will remain for a few days. The boxes are provided with flags, which show when there Is mall In them for the carrier to take away or mall left for the house. They are of metal, and very neat and durable. Grand Chapter.

The regular monthly meeting of the Ladles' Relief Society will take place at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the First Presbyterian Church. WAS OVER-BENEVOLENT. Philanthropist "Who Carried His Kindness Too Far. The sight of dozens of coops of chickens and ducks along the sidewalks In the commission - house district, with empty water troughs alongside of them from which the fois are vainly trying to get a drink, is very painful to sensitive per sons, although the fowls may not be really suffering. Yesterday a fine, portly, benevolent looking man from Pillar Rock way found a lot of coops of such fowls, which ap peared to him to be suffering for both food and drink. He marched back into tho store they were in front of and brought out a bucket of wheat, with which he proceeded to feed the fowls, and then he filled the drinking troughs with water. Next he secured a big watering pot and played the rain-maker act, sprinkling the fowls till they were wet as drowned rats, and looked as If they had been dipped In thin mud. Then he found that some of the coops were so arranged that the Inmates could not get their heada between the slats to get a drink, and he hunted up a hammer and ripped off some of the slats and placed them wider apart. so that the ducks were not only able to ret a drink, but to crawl out. and In a few moments the sidewalk was covered with a flock of the worst bedraggled and most disreputable looking ducks Imagina ble. About this time ono of the employes of the house came to the front, and as he raced after the ducto? and got them back Into the coops he said things which will not bear repeating, and which quite shocked the benevolent and portly Good Samaritan, who will not be likely to undertake feeding another, person's ducks and chickens again for a long time. Farmers who send fowls to market in coops in which they are not able to stand up or from which they are una ble to get a drink should be punished by having their fowls confiscated by the Hu mane Officer. .PERSONAL MENTION.

The report that Turkey Is purchasing new field artillery and Mauser rifles and that It Is about to enter on an extensive policy of naval Increase and renovation Indicates that the Sultan's Government is less destitute than has been supposed. The Porte may permit the salaries of Its civil officials and the pay of Its sol diers to fall Into arrears, but It cannot buy costly military equipment or have Its warships rebuilt in foreign yards without a plentiful expenditure of hard cash. That the Turkish army is still a for midable force Is conceded by European military experts, and the ease with which the Sultan's War Minister mobilized a powerful army of fighting men in the war with Greece Is evidence that the "sick man" would be an exceedingly ugly cus tomer If he were attacked on land. In, spite of the corruption and maladministra tion that are said, to prevail in all branches of the government. It is worth while to recall the fact, also, that Turkey ranked as a strong naval power only a quarter of a century ago. During th last conflict with Russia the Turkish armor-clads dis tinctly overmatched the Muscovite navy, and it seems probable that some of these vessels are capable of a degree of re habilitation that would make them an Im portant factor In warfare today. It may be that the projected Improve ments will fall to materialize, but It will not do to assume, as certain newspapers in this country have done, that the Porte Is weak and defenseless. It is doubtful If any fleet In- the world could force the passage of the Dardanelles without suf fering tremendous loss from the batteries of modern heavy guns which command It at many points. It Is well to bear these considerations In mind, when the advisability of assailing the Sultan to col lect the American indemnity claim of $30, 000 Is under discussion. PORTLAND WOMEN'S UNION.
