Saluon Scarce in the Market. The
days when the finest of salmon was the
cheapest of fish in Oregon have passed,
Siever more to return. Farmers, boarding
house keepers, loggers, etc., will no longer
Jay in barrels or half-barrels of fat ohl
iiook salmon for Winter supplies. Such
fish up to within a few years ago used
to be sold at J3 per half-barrel, but now
can scarcely be procured at any price.
Persons who used to receive regularly
every year from some friend in the can
nery business a present of a kit of salmon
tellies, the height of luxury In the line of
palfed fish, receive such kits no more.
The high price paid for salmon for ex
port, frozen, pickled or canned, has put
on end to salting of chinook salmon, and
euch salmon as are salted now are neither
"flesh nor fowl, nor good red herring,"
nor, for that matter, good for anything.
It has even become difficult to procure a
cut of fresh salmon of the best quality In
the markets, and only a judge of the ar
ticle can procure the best fish by paying
the rather steep price demanded for It
Fortunately, shad of fine quality are now
plentiful In the Columbia and cheap In
price, and tons of these are being salted
to take ho place of salt salmon. A few
years ago there was no sale here for fait
f.had. which are really an excellent flfh
end highly esteemed on the Atlantic
Coast, but now thev are In good demand,
and this demand Is boind to Increase, and
In a few years the shad fisheries of the
Colombia will be of great value and may
rome day rival the salmon fisheries In
importance.
Demand for Catfish. The pleb3lan cat
fish, which was introduced into the waters
of the Northwest a few years ago and
multiplied amazingly, soon became a fa
vorite with a large class of people, and
large quantities were sold in the markets
here at 6 cents per pound, "ekun" and de
horned. The demand Increased faster than
the fish, and now dealers are not able
to procure them In quantifies at any pr'ce.
The sloughs In this vicinity were ex
hausted some time ago: supplies have been
coming from sloughs up and down the
river, and it now appears that they have
been fished out. Catfish were first
"planted" in this region in Sliver I-ake,
Wach., a few m!loa b"ek from Castle Reck,
on the Northern Pacific Railroad, from
which they came down the Toutle and
Cowlits Rivers Into the Columbia and
up into the Willamette. Silver Lake ought
to be full of them by this time, and per
haps supplies for this market can be
procured there.
Bot Preacher Here. Jack Cooke, the
13-year-old boy preacher, will begin a
two weeks ser'es of sermons Tuesday
evening, in a large tent to be erected
corner of East Eleventh and East Ever
ett streets, under the aup!ce of Grace
Baptist Church. Young Cooke, who Is
assisted by his father and brother, has
preached to Immense congregations In the
large cities of England and the Eastern
States within the past three years, and
he is already credited with having im
pressed 18.000 persons w"th the truths of
the gospel, a large proportion of these
having become converts. His earthly ed
ucntion is limited, as he has only attended
school 18 monthe altogether, so his r
markable powers are credited to divine n
splration. He preaches on the philophy
of the Bible, from texts furnished by the
congregation, and will answer questions
on Bible subjects for half an hour each
evening before the svrmon.

Plentt of Water for Mines. Henry
E. Arkeney. who came in from the Ster
ling mine Saturday, reports that there Is
plenty of water there as yet and lr like
ly to be for some time, but It is not ex
pected that the supply will last so long
this season as usual. The Sterling mine
and Jack Leighton's mine, on Grayback,
are the only hydraulic mines now in oper
ut'on in the southern part of the state,
the water supply of all the others having
given out. Prospects look favorable for
a large output at the Sterling thte season.

Women to Help the Elks. All women
of Portland disponed to aid the Elks In
their great undertaking to have astreet car
nival here this Fall ore requested to meet
at 2 P. M. this afternoon In Elks Hall,
Marquam building. Considerable progress
is being made with the preparatory work
dally. As the scheme dawns upon the cit
izens of Portland more fully, the more
alacrity is shown in Its support. There
will be something unique In its character,
and a more ambitious effort to aid the city
and entertain the thousands in royal man
ner was never-conceived In Portland.
Women particularly ore taking hold, as
the liberal opportunities offered them by
the order are also unusual. This will be
a time when the women can demonstrate
In substantial manner their strength and
feel that In whatever Is done they have
a free and full part. Every woman desir
ing to contribute her efforts should make
the fact known this afternoon, when the
meeting to organize this branch of the
work will be held. The street-car Idea
will probably be discussed. It Is hoped
that every woman Interested will be on
hand by the hour fixed for the meeting.
Plums Awarded. The official announce
ment that District Attorney-elect Cham
berlain had selected John Manning a
chief deputy and Arthur C Spencer a
deputy, was a surprise to those counting
upon the appointment of two regulation
Democrats. Manning Is a Democrat and
Spencer a Republican, and the appoint
ment of the latter Is considered as a con
cession to the Multnomah Republican Bar,
from members of which Chamberlain re
ceived support Manning is a practicing
attorney, and has been several times a
member of the Democratic County Con
vention. Spencer is an Independent Re
publican, for several years a student in
the office of Cake & Cake, and an ac
tive worker for the Citizens Legislative
ticket in the late campaign.
Small. House Burned. A house en
Hawthorne avenue, near the summit of
the grade, occupied by an Italian gar
dener and his family, was destroyed by
fire Friday evening. A row of chestnut
trees and a number of fruit trees have
lately been cut down In front of the house
and for some distance beyond, and a lot
of brush was piled up and set fire to to
get it out of the way. In some way the
fire from this brush pile was communi
cated to the house, and although the Sun
nysldo Fire Company was prftmptly on
hand and did good work, the roof of the
house and enough of tho walls were de
stroyed to render it uninhabitable. Car
travel on the avenue was stopped for some
time by a hose laid across the avenue.
Burglars in Albina. Burglars en
tered the dwelling of A. Gavin, on Borth
wlck street, Albina, Friday night and
stole a pair of trousers and a vest which
they took out to the back yard and
searched. They secured a gold watch and
chain and $16 in money, besides an Elks
charm and other minor articles. The
family were asleep in the house at the
time and were not disturbed in the least,
though the thief walked right Into Mr.
Gavin's bedroom and took the garments
off the bureau. He had evidently entered
the house through the front door with the
aid of skeleton keys. The trousers and
vept were left In the back yard.
Spectators Disappointed. There were
BOO angry people at Troutdale yesterday
afternoon, who had gathered to witness
the 10-round bantam-weight pr'ze-fight
scheduled to take place in Latourelle
Hall between "Kid" Wilson, of Sunny
side, and Richard Gent's, of South Port
land. A band of music was in readiness
and all arrangements made, but Gentls
failed to appear to defend his chances of
winning the small purse which had been
offered.

in loading a vessel with lumber at Four
teenth and Savler streets yesterday after
noon was struck on the head by a piece
of lumber and knocked over the edge of

FOUNDED BY WM. G. ELIOT
Waiihlnsrton TJnlverItr, St. LouU,
Which Lately Received ?3,000,000.
The princely endowment of Washington
University, St Louis, Mo., by Samuel
Cupples and Robert S. Brookings recalls
the fact that Dr. William G. Eliot, father
of the Rev. Dr. T. L. Eliot, of Portland,
was one of the prominent founders of this
institution. Dr. Eliot Sr., was the first
president, and had it not been for his
modesty the university would have borne
his name. Preferring that it should not
have the title of one Interested In Its
work. Dr. Eliot suggested that as the
matter was being discussed on February
22 the new school. Eliot Seminary,
be called Washington Institute. This name
was later changed to Washington Uni
versity as the general scope of work en
larged and assumed the usual propor
tions of a university.
It was in 1853 that the institution was
founded, through the aid of Wayman
Crow, who was then a member of the
State Senate. As soon as he had the
Legislature provide for the charter, the
board of directors held a meeting to or
ganize. This was on February 22, 1S51.
and Dr. Eliot was elected the first presi
dent In later years others succeeded the
worthy founder In this position. The uni
versity grew apace, and has been gener
ously remembered on several occasions,
since, not the least of which was an en
dowment of $500,000 last year, to which Mr.
Brookings then contributed $100,000. May
29, 1900. he and Mr. Cupples deeded to the
university an entire business block. In
which most of the freight of St Louis is
handled, conservatively valued at $3,009,
000. The revenue from this endowment pro
vided the business is conducted as it has
been in the past, will approximate J400.0D
net annually. St Louis Is jubilant over
the prospects of their university, which
now ranks with other great schools of the
country. A unique feature of the situa
tion Is that the university will be the
actual proprietor of the business block,
and will conduct the terminal business
heretofore done by the company making
the assignment

FINE NEW THOROUGHFARE
HAWTHORXE AVEXUE SOW BEIXG
WIDENED.
It Will Be a 70-Foot Street All the
Way to Mount Tnbor East Side
Affairs.
The narrow place In Hawthorne avenue,
from about East Twentieth to East Thir
tieth, which has so far remained the
width of the old original county road 10
feet Is now being widened, by an addi
tion of 15 feet on each side, to 70 feet,
the same as the rest of the avenue. The
grade at the top of the hill Is also to be
lowered some 10 or 12 feet, and when
these improvements are completed. Haw
thorne avenue will be one of the most
charming and sightly drives in the city.
From the higher part there is a fine view
of the beautiful semlpastoral country, all
orchards and gardens, stretching to the
slope of Mount Tabor, and including that
butte, Mount Hood and Mount St Helens,
and the majestic fountain in reservoir
No. 2, conceded to be the grandest jet
of water in the United States.
Looking to the west, there is a view

BE SURE YOU
Upon a correct and full enumeration of Oregon's inhabitants this
month may depend the question whether the state shall have two Con
gressmen for the next 10 years, or three. The apportionment of Congress
men Is made upon the decennial census. The enumeration of ISM gave
Oregon a second Congressman, and the census of 1S00 may add a third.
No resident of the state should be omitted from the enumeration. Except
In two cities the nork extends through the entire month of June. It is
the duty of every one in the state to aid the enumerators In their canvass
by giving prompt answers to the questions propounded. Persons tempora
rily absent from the state, but who have not given up their residence
here, should be enumerated.
make up a view such as can scarcely be
equaled anywhere.
The west end of Hawthorne avenue was
widened long ago, and the east end was
attended to when Sunnyside addition was
laid out but along the higher ground
about midway the length of the avenue
there were a number of well-to-do property-owners
who objected to the widen
ing, and have successfully opposed it up
to the present time.
When one sees the beautiful orchards
and places along this part of the avenue,
it is easy to understand why the owners
objected to the widening, and the first
evidence seen by persons on the cars
of what Is going on is the destruction of
a long row of fine chestnut trees on the
south side of the avenue, near the sum
mit. This attracts general attention, and
causes people to inquire what Is the occa
sion of this vandalism. Thes'j trees were
probably the largest of the kind, with
one or two exceptions, in the city. They
wero planted some 40 years ago. on what
was the old Murray claim, but no one
has been found who knows who planted
them. From the summit down across a
level tract to the west slope of Mount
Tabor is one of the most lovely sections
imaginable. There are many fine subur
ban residences standing In spacious and
beautiful grounds; large tracts of orchards
and well cultivated gardens, where
iMount Tabor strawberries" are produced;
meadows gray with the bloom of orchard
grass or white with ox-eye daisies; com
mons on which cows are staked In all di
lutions up to their knees In lush grass,
some of them wearing rugs of burlap
heavily fringed, as a protection against
flies, and all chewing the cud of content
ment Twenty years ago nearly the whole
of this section was densely timbered, and
now It la a little praadlse, of fertile and
well-tended fields and gardens and pros
perous' and happy homes, and all within a
few minutes' ride of the heart of the
city.
City Bicycle Path Wanted.
J. W. Slngletary, East Side bicycle tax
collector, has been kept pretty busy the
past week making out receipts and de
livering tags. Now that the time in whioh
the tax can be paid without delinquency
has expired, there will be a great rush to
pay up. The expressions that were used
by the wheelmen who paid to Mr. Slnglo
tary were various. A few contend that it
Is an outrage to be compelled to pay the
tax. Not a few asserted that cycle paths
should be constructed on streets con
necting with the paths on the county
road, and sold they would pay more
cheerfully were this done. They say that
for most of the year It ie a hard matter
to reach the cycle paths, and that the
country receives most of the benefit from
them, and the city only Indirectly. A
farmer came In Saturday and took away
five tags. He said his farm is on one
of the paths east of the city, and that he
is sure that the construction of the paths
has Increased the value of his farm not
less than 23 per cent. He also said that
the construction of cycle paths in the
country had had this effect everywhere,
and he paid his tax with great cheerful
ness. Still It was the consensus of opin
ion that pome central paths Inside the
city connecting with those outside should
be built next.
Sought Sylvan Shades.
Hundreds of conveyances yesterday
morning carried merry parties into tho
suburbs, where they spent the day. From
5 till 9 o'clock there was a constant stream

numerous a few miles to the eastward.
In the big conveyances were baskets

close of tho day's outing. In the cool of
the evening the return trip was made.
It is eafe to say that fully 2000 Port
land people went Into tho country east

Death of A. G. Stoldt.
By the death of A. G. Stoldt, of Lower

time that the old Albina city govern
ment existed, and was in that office when

also administrator of the Brendle estate,

courts. Mr. Stoldt was a man of integ
rity, and was highly respected by all
who came in contact with him.

FINE COMEDY-DRAMA.
"The Sevr Dominion" Brilliantly
Rendered at Cordray's.
A very strong play, well presented by a
competent company, i3 the verdict ren
dered by the crowded house at Cordray's
Theater last night, when the curtain fell
upon the last act of "Tho New Dominion.''
The combination of Clay Clement and L.
R. Stockwell is a happy one, and will
bo a very attractive card during their en
gagement here. If hearty applause and
triple curtain calls be any criterion of
the success of a company, then the Cle-ment-Stockwell
people made a pronounced
hit
Mr. Clement, always popular with Port
land's theater-goers, added another laurel
in his finished characterization of the
German baron, "Von Hohenstauffer. Al
ways the stately gentleman, precision it
self as to detail In make-up and dialect,
he looked and acted the part to perfection.
His comedy work was quaint, particularly
in the scene when he is teaching his
pretty little sweetheart (Miss Pomphroi)
the German language. His dramatic fire
was well shown In his resentment of the
Insult in the second act.
Florence Pomphret, as Flora Randolph,
the sweet lKtle Virginian, was excellent
In her love scenes with the scientific
baron. Mrs. Clay Clement was superb and
winsome as the coquettish widow, Mrs.
Josephine Delancy. The part of Mrs. Ran
dolph, the dignified lady of the old school,
was well portrayed by tho tall and grace
ful Alice Lonnon. Nevada Heffron had a
weeping part, as the much-abused Martha,
but made the most of e. difficult role. L.
R. Stockwell appeared in black face. His
portrayal of the old family servant, Na
poleon, was at all tlmest true to life, and
his fun-making was always good. Charles
King, as Mr. Randolph, the poor, but
proud, Virginia gentleman, was excellent
In his role. The part of Marshal Boner,
the villain of the play, was strongly act
ed by L. Griffith. H. G. Lonsdale did
good work In the character of Charlea
McVeigh, the young lawyer.
"The New Dominion" will be the at
traction until Friday evening, when there
will be a change of bill. "A Southern
Gentleman" being put on by the company.
FAT OREGON CATTLE.
Tvrenty Carloads of Steers Going: to
Montana.
A train of 20 cars, containing 1000 head
of young cattle, left the Portland stock
yards last evening for Conrad, Mont The
animals were purchased along the line of
the Southern Pacific Railroad, between
Portland and Roseburg, by N, L. Corne
lius, for the Florre Cattle Company, of
Helena. Mont, and they comprise the
sixth tralnload wh'lch Mr. Cornelius has
shipped from Oregon thl-i Summer. The
stock was mostly yearlings and two-year-olds,
and they will be pastured on the rich
grass lands along Marias River in North
ern Montana, for the next two years,
when they will be fattened and sold to
Chicago butchers. Mr. Cornelius says
there Is a large area of free Government
pasture yet available along the line of
the Great Northern, in Montana, while
hay can be cut along tho river bottoms
for Winter use. His company has a lot
of land sown to alfalfa, which will also
b stored for use when the deep snows
prevent the cattle from reaching tha
grass.
Ho has been buying and shipping cattle
In Oregon for five years now, and finds
that prices have advanced fully 100 per
cent in that period. He paid this year
$15 to $20 a head for yearlings, and as high
as $25 for two-year-olds, and this, he sjys,
is just double what he purchased the
same class of stock for In 1S95. This will
be his last shipment this year, as cattle
are more difficult to find, although there
Is considerable yet for sale in Western
Oregon.
ANOTHER LOW RATE EAST.
On account of the Democratic conven
tion to be held at Kansas City, July 4,
the O. R. & N. has placed In effect the
extremely low rate of $90 for the round
tilp to Kansas City and return. At the

Special Exhibition
of Fine Pianos
A DispIayThat Would Create a Furore
in the Largest Music Centers,
Ellers Piano Hoase, ia Tlxelr Setv
Store, at 351 Washington, Is Opened
"With the Very Finest Display of
CUickcring and Weber and. Kim
ball Planoa Ever Seea la Portland.
Excepting a few finishing touches here
and there, our new store is ready for
business, and we herewith extend to our
many Iriends and the public generally a
cordial invitation to visit the. most at
tractive and best appointed store de
voted to the sale of pianos and organs
In the entire West
We propose to make this store the rec
ognized headquarters of Portland's music
al interests. "Perfect satisfaction in every
instance" has been the watchword that
has built up the phenomenal trade enjoyed
by Eilers Piano House in the past, and
this principle will be rigidly adhered to
in ever transaction, great or small, by
Ellers Piano House m the new store.
We are better equipped than ever before
to furnish the very finest pianos and or
gans to retail buyers at lowest possible
prices, and on most favorable terms of
payment This we propose to demonstrate
in a most substantial manner In our spe
cial exhibition sale of fine pianos, which
commences this morning. This sale
includes the Yery choicest creations of the
three leading American piano-makers, and
you will find here now the very finest and
costliest pianos ever offered for sale In
the West
We wish to call special attention to the
new styles made by Weber. The elder
Weber was a genius in the realm, of tone
production, and it has often been said
that the tone quality which Stradlvarius
bestowed upon the violin Weber Imparted
to his piano-forte, and this wonderful tone
quality and the marvelous durability for
which the Weber piano has so long been
distinguished have never been excelled
or even approached by other plano-mak-crs.
New and chaste designs In all tho
varieties of beautiful and expensive woods
are now shown in our wareroom not sim
ply one or two pianos, but dozens of them
we ship them m carload lots, and, hand
ling them in large quantities, we are able
to quote prices considerably below the
regular-established Weber retail figures,
$500. $575 and $650.
And a few words about the Chlckerlng
the grand, noble and unrivaled Chlckerlng
that has stood the supreme test of more
than three-quarters of a century, during
which time It has been the recipient of
unequaled and unqualified honors for su
perlative excellence from all parts of the
cultured world incidents that acclaim the
marvelous value of the Chlckerlng piano
the oldest In America, the best m the
world.
We have here now the most exquisite
productions of this time-honored factory
the new small Chlckerlng upright with
Its most wonderfully pure and rich and
powerful tone qualities, and the large
cabinet grand Chlckerlng upright; such
sweetness apd power, such exquisite tone
coloring and shading is found onlv in
Chlckerlng pianos. You have here 2Cf-odd
of these costly Instruments to choose
from.
And In Kimball pianos we are showing
tho finest assortment ever displayed In
the West The new Kimball styles are
simply superb, in every detail of construc
tion and tone quality. The famous world's
fair exhibition styles in cases of fancy
oak and beautiful dark rosewood deserve
special mention. Another design is an
exact reproduction of the Kimball as ex
hibited at the Omaha exposition last year,
where It carried off the gold medal In
competition with many leading makes.
These we show in cases of beautifully
dappled English walnut and fancy San
Domingo mahogany they are beauties.
In addition to these we have the won
derful Crown piano, the Instrument with
the many tones, which Imitates a dozen
different Instruments perfectly, and the
Angelus Orchestral, a beautiful little In
strument, that can be rolled In front of
any piano and which automatically plays
the choicest music with the most perfect
expression, and absolutely correct as to
tempo, playing as well yes, even better,
than the most accomplished pianist could.
