"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

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

funeral services were held at 4 P. M.

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,

Average Catch of Salmon. 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.

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.

WILL THE TURK REARM.
The Porte Evidently 3 Not Without
Money, and Is Not Defenseless.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
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.
