ft.LISKY'S WINTER GARDEN (Third and
Morrison streeU)-Coicrt niffhtly.
Ideal Picnic Piu.ce. A shady grove
through -which the refreshing breezes can
find their -way and a good spring of cold
water are prime requisites of a success
ful picnic, and If there Is a place handy
vhere crawfish can be caught, there is
not much more to be desired. Such a
place the peonle of Tualatin CAtv hnv
Provided for the fr nrmmmnilnHftfi nt
picnickers. -A beautiful irrovA of apm
and cedars, covering some four acres, sur
rounds the magnificent spring from -which
the -water supply of the town Is pumped.
The pump Is In operation only in the
evening, and all day long the spring
bubbles and bolls up at the bottom of a
nuge Iron cylinder, some six feet across
and sunk to about the same depth in the
earth, and the Icy and crystal -water
pours over the top and runs away into
the Willamette River near by. The place
Is fenced around to keep away the cat
tle which pasture in the vicinity and
several stiles afford access to It There
Is even a table and seats provided for
the accommodation of visitors, and only
a short distance away Is the Tualatin
Blver. where crawfish abound among the
bowlders. The grove can be reached
irom Portland by boat, passing through
the locks at Oregon City, or by the elec
tric cars to Oregon City, and crossing
the suspension bridge and taking the
Electric car to Tualatin City, three miles
south. The grove and spring are on the
flat below the town, and there Is a
wharf near by where boats can land. A
Picnic in this grove Is quite a different
thing from one In the brush along some
week where no breeze can get through,
aod the water is warm.
Compiling Oregon Botaxt. Thomas
Howell, the well-known botanist, is hard
at work on his book on the flora of the
Pacific Northwest, and finds it growing
In more ways than one. Ho had expected

Howell has been botanizing from "way

No Profit m Empty Bottles. A num
ber of boxes and barrels of empty bottles
are lying Unclaimed In the office of the
Customs Appraiser. They were emptlod
during the passage of the Monmouthshire
from Japan to this port An examination
of the labels shows that a curious as
sortment of liquids wastconsumed on the
steamer Japanese beer and mineral
water, German beer, Portland beer, Eng
lish ale and porter, and many other drinks
of a mild nature, but very few. If any
of the bottles, had held whisky or oth
er strong stuff. The bottles had been
saved up by some waiter or steward,
who had thought to make a little pocket
money by selling them here, but when
he found that there was a duty of 1 cent
on quart and one-half a cent on pint bot
tles of foreign manufacture brought into
this country empty, he abandoned his
idea, for the duty would amount to about
as much as he would get for the bottles.
Of course, many of the bottles are of
American make, and these would be ad
mitted free, but the owner has apparent
ly abandoned the whole in disgust.
Force or Mauser Bullets. Several
persons at Scappoose were recently

shootlng at a target with a Mauser rifle
and ammunition. They nlnreil the toi-p-et
against a fir stump 3 feet in diameter
so that there would be no danger of hit
ting any one who might chance to pass
behind the target. The shooters were
somewhat astonished to find that the llt
ie steel bullets from the Mauser passed
through the target and clear through
the three-foot stump. At the lower part
of the stump, where It was about four
feet In diameter, the bullets could not
get clear through, but where It was about
three, feet six Inches in diameter a bul

DIGGING DRAINAGE TUNNEL
Plan to Prevent Lnnd From Sliding
Into Reservoirs.
The TVater Committee having acquired
title to a part of the King property west
!. wn' lnclualnr the sliding tract,
which has caused the Injury ta reservoirs
tn nl 4 jnd ,s n0w Proceeding
to have an end put to this trouble. From
careful measurements and observations
which have been kept up since the trouble
commenced It Is well understood that the
sliding motion of a tract on the side of
the mountain Is caused by large accumu
lations of water which collect In Assures
and .underground chambers percolate
through surrounding strata and follow
down on the bedrock, making it slippery,
and causing the overlying earth to slide
on the wet rock.
D. I. Clarke, engineer of the commit
tee, has already commenced the work of
constructing a tunnel to drain the side of
the mountain and prevent the accumu
lation of water which has caused the
slide. The tunnel has been started from
the bottom of reservoir No. 4, through
the west wall, and it will follow the sur
face of the bedrock from 75 to 1W feet
below the surface, up the side of the
mountain, a distance of l00 to 1700 feet
As the bents In the timbering of the
tunnel will be about five feef high and
four feet wide In the clear, only one
man can work at the breast digging,
and one taking away the earth excavated,
while another can help with the timber
ing and planking, so It Is probable that
a second gang will be put at work on the
tunnel from a shaft on the hillside.
In sinking pits to examine the sliding
ground a "pocket" of water was struck,
holding over 4.000,000 gallons, which it was
necessary to rig up a steam pump to emp
ty. This water is, of course, some time
accumulating, and when once there is a
drain to carry It away, it will all pass
off, and there will be no more accumu
lation to do damage.
"When the reservoir -was constructed an
Iron-pipe drain was laid under It to
carry away any seepage, and the tunnel
will be connected with this. Just what
kind of drain will be eventually put
through the tunnel has not yet been de
cided. The water can be carried down
In a wooden spout or trough for the
present, but eventually an irrn nine n
conduit of some kind will be put in. It
is consiaerea certain that the construction
of tlds tunnel and the drainage of the
pockets or water which have kept the
bedrock slippery, will put an end to the
sliding of the hillside and enable the
reservoirs to be permanently repaired.
"SAPHO."
Mnch-Talked-Abont Play Presented
nt the Metropolitan.
"Sapho," the play eo much talked about
and lawed about In the East, was- pre
sented last night to a very good house at
the Metropolitan Theater by a company
of Australian players, with Miss George
Elliot In the title role. The playas put
on last night must be considerably expur
gated, for taken all In all. the risque
scenes were entirely wanting. It would
bo a very difficult task to eradicate the
tone of the story, which is by no means
elevating, as the novel "Sapho" left
Daudet's hands. However, the playwright
has done his best to make a presentable
piece and the company last night added
another coat of good sense and the result
is acceptable. Earnestness marked the
work of the players. The opening scene
of the first act was light enough and
flippant enouch. renresentlner the -RVonnh
bal masque In all Its revelry. In this act
Herbert Jones has opportunity to do good
work In his part as Uncle Casalre and he
makes good use of every scene. He en
thused plenty of life which seemed to be
contagious. Miss Elliot as Sapho had a
difficult and thankless part. Even in the
face of Sapho's unenviable character of
the adventuress and Ufe-wrecker, she
rose equal to the occasion of doing many
lpveable womanly traits, winning more
than one curtain call. Alec Cochrane, as
Jean Gaussln, was manly and strong. His
acting of the part of the young, head
strong fellow falling Into the meshes of
the enticing Sapho, oven against his bet
ter Judgment, was good, though at times
Just a shade boisterous. The minor parts
of the caste are all In pamWr. ,,
Miss Madge Corcoran in the double role
of Aunt Divonne and Franelno, and An
nio Glrard and Madame Hottema are
worthy of more than passing mention.
"Sapho" will be the Summer evening at
traction for the remnlnrlat nt tt.... t.
Including matinees on Wednesday and
I Saturday.

ting close of one of the most eventful
seasons the Guard of the state ever ex
perienced, and the .members will enter
upon the vacation that has been declared,
from now until September with a spirit
of satisfaction.
General Beebe, as commanding officer,
naturally had a vast amount of work to
perform. Early hours and constant ap
plication until late In the evening was"
me rouune every day. But the detailed
covered every feature In such thorough i
manner as to obviate the necessity of
many new orders, was of great assistance '
to the General In his work while there. '
Officers had familiarized themselves with
General Orders No. 4 to' such an extent '
that they knew beforehand what would '
be expected of them, and had opportunity
to get their men In the proper state of
mind. i
Unfortunately, no ground was available
for target practice. The only range was
so distant that much time would have
been required in going to and from it,
and General Beebe deemed it inexpedient
to waste time in this manner, as every
portion of the week was fully required ta
carry out the plans of the encampment
that the drills might develop the required
maneuvers by the end of the week. The
last day blank cartridges were Issued and
the men were given practice In firing,
particularly volleys and In skirmish order.
This was worked up to throughout the
weok, and some splendid results wore at
tained. Some of the newest companies de
livered volleys almost In unison.
General Beobe speaks very cordially of
Troops A and B, from Lebanon and
aumpter, respectively, and also Light Bat
tery A. from Portland. The battery men
mastered their new field Pieces so com
pletely that they operated the breech
mechanism like veterans. Squadron drills
were ordered for the oavalry. and at the
evening parades they appeared in squad
ron formation.
Of his own regiment. Colonel Everett
has nothing but good words. The Port
land boys did well everywhere. Naturally
on the return trip, after pay-day, con
siderable difficulty would be antlqlpated
In maintaining military discipline and or
der. Colonel Everett forestalled this by
embarking his companies as one the trip
up, and posting guards at each door.
When the Third Regiment climbed from
the coaches at the Union depot it was al
ready formed, and prepared for the march
to the Armory.
Both last night and the night before,
the soldiers were much In evidence about
the city. Their browned faces and the
uniforms of those belonging out of Port-
jana made them conspicuous. A few of
the boys will havo to grow a new cuticle
on their noses and cheeks.
The Dalles company passed on through
Portland to their home, while the La
Grande and Baker City companies, as well
as Troop B, of Sumpter. are still here.
Colonel Everett gave them the absolute
freedom of the Armory, and Instructed his
officers and men to see that everything
possible was done for their comfort and
entertainment Yesterday many of the
two companies and troop took a run down
to Astoria for a whiff of the salt air,
which contrasts strongly with the dry
atmosphere east of the Cascades. It is
understood that one and maybe both com
panies will go on "today. Troop B asked
for a two or three days' lie-over, which
was readily granted, and the members
are enjoying a visit to Portland and vi
olnlty. Sergeant Scott, who received a
severe injury by the fall of his horse In
Salem, was yesterday hobbling around
town on crutches.
All drills have been suspended from
now until September. If a Captain de

WANT BUFFALO HUMP OUT.
Its Position in Forest Reserve Said
to Prevent Development.
WASHINGTON, July 11. W. R. Hoy
burn, one of the leading attorneys of
.Lutuus, who was aiso one or the Idaho del
egates to the Philadelphia convention, ap
peared at the General Land Office while
In Washington, and made an extended
argument oeiore commissioner Hermann

about one-fifth of the reserve, or approx
imately 200,000 acres of land.
Judge Heyburn argued that tho Buffalo
Hump wis a valuable mining section, cov
ered with mining camps, whose properties
ran up Into the millions. He claimed that
unquestionably that section was a mining
rather than a forestry section, and did
not properly belong within the limits of
a forest reservation. Mining undertak
ings such as those of Buffalo Hump he
claimed, ought to be supplied with timber.
They also need roadways to give them
proper -and adequate communication with
transportation linos and centers. Among
tho papers presented to the Land Office
were several great petitions asking per
mission to construct suoh roadways as are
hold to be absolutely necessary.

Towns are rapidly growing up In
sldo the limits of the Buffalo Hump sec
tion, with their mining stations and head
quarters for mining companies. Then, too,
there are sectibns of the country which
are adapted for agricultural development,
which would supply the market demands
of the Buffalo Hump mines', and afford
homes for a large "number of farmers.
The Lnd Office could take no action on
the representations of Judge Heyburn,
but the local officials have ooen ordered
to Investigate nnd ronnrt nt lenirtVi nnftn
' the conditions in the Buffalo Hump coun
try, along- the lines suggested by the
Judge, and on their report the Land Office
and Secretary of the Interior will act.
TRAINMEN'S STATEMENT.
Conductor nntl Brnlccman's Version
of Upton Accident.
The accident on the Southern Pacific
Thursday evening, When a freight train
DICK, THE LARGEST COMPANY IN
REGIMENT.
started on a mad run down grade at
Upton, has aroused considerable comment
among railroad men as to the cause of
the 25 cars breaking away. Yesterday Y.
Ft Bowker. brakeman, and H. .B. Tay
. lor, conductor, made the following state
J mont explaining the accident, for which
they were held responsible by the com
pany. I "We Wflra running on nnrfh.hrmn1 lmil
freight No. 22C, from Dunsraulr to Ash-
unloading freight at Upton, and had
fut tne trInf in two- 'wh,ch ls cus
toniar and 'e" 2S care, Including the
CAhoos on the main line, taking seven
way Cara andth two engines In our house
track to unload freight. We had been
at work about 45 minutes when we were
informed that our train, left on the main
llne "w&s running away. We ran to try
to catch it. cut one enrtne off. and stnrt-
ea after the runaway, but were unable
to equal Its speed. The train ran down tn
a place 3 miles south of Upton Bar
nard's Spur and there 17 cars of the up
per end of the string broke loose and
were ditched, and piled up. The rails were
torn up and the grade dug up for 200 feet
Tlje cars were a . total wreck, and the
contents and debris were scattered all
around. The other eight cars continued
on their course until within about half a
mile of Mott when five more cars from
the upper end went Into the ditch and
piled up, after having run a distance
Of about eight miles. The caboose and
the other two cars ran 12 miles before
going over the embankment at the iSth
crossing of the Sacramento River.
"The cars had been properly tied with
brakes, and somebody mtist have released
them, as the grade at Upton was very
slight, and the brakes were sufficient to
hold tho train, having been carefully put
on. We have had trouble of a like na
ture before. The train was a total wreck,
with the exception of the first way car
and a flat car with company materials.
The train was made up as follows, and
not of 30 cars of fruit, as reported: One
way car, 1 flat car with company mate
rials. 14 cars of company wood, 1 re
frigerator car of green fruit. 3 cars of
watermelons, 1 car of salt, 4 empty flats
and tho caboose. TIntnfi. where the mrm
broke. Is 17 miles north of Dunsmuir."
uonauctor Taylor and Brakeman Bow
ker have been dismissed from the service
of the Southern Pacific, the former for
not posting a brakeman at the head of
the train, according to regulations, and
the latter for not having put on suffi
cient brakes to hold the train. Taylor
and Bowker will go to San Francisco to
consult the general nuperlntendent and
hope to get reinstated or be given posi
tions on another division of the road.

Or can we have a code of morals for A.
and & different code of morals for B?
Second If forcible annexation be crim
inal aggression, against whom is the ag
gression to be rated, against tho legal
sovereign or against the actual Inhabi
tants? Third If we disclaimed any desire for
Cuba save for the pacification thereof
rnd then to render Cuba to the Cubans,
was that not an implied promise to ren
der Luron tuo the Filipinos?
Four Was not Agulnaldo brought from
Singapore at our request?
Fifth Was not Agulnaldo brought from
Hong Kong on our man-of-war?
Sixth Did w not furnish Agulnaldo
with arms?
Seven Did we not receive into our State
I Department without dissent his proclama
tion showing his expectation of indepen
dence Juno 18, and his procalamatlon
June 23, that the object of the struggle
was complete Independence of alt nations.
Inclining the Spanish?"
Eighth Wore not these documents pub
lic to the War and Navy Departments
and to all men?
NlnthDid not Admiral Dewey write
to the Secretary of. the Navy and to the
President: "These people expect indepen
dence"? Was this ever negatived?
Tenth Did not Dewey, June 12, sehd to
the Secretary, of the Navy Agulnaldo's
three proclamations of May 24, all look
ing to independence? Wore these nega
tived? Eleventh Did not General Anderson as
sure Agulnaldo we had plenty of land,
and for a hundred years had had no
colonies?
Twelve Have Dewey and Agulnaldo
ever declared that they did not believe
tho Filipinos Were to be granted Inde
pendence? That they proceeded believing
the Philippines were to be held as colo
nies? Thirteenth Was not Agulnaldo treated
as an Independent ally? Were not his
prisoners considered his prisoners? When
complaint of their treatment was made,
did we Interfere or attempt to exercise
authority over him as a subordinate?
Fourteenth Did not General MacArthur
say he supposed at first Agulnaldo repre
sented a faction, but he found the masses
Of the Filipino people were loyally behind
him?
Fifteenth Has not General Anderson
said the Filipinos thought they were to be
Independent, largely inferring so from
acts and circumstances?
Sixteenth Didn't Anderson think they
were to be Independent?
Seventeenth Didn't Dewey think they
were to be Independent, and propose a
provisional government under an Ameri

Eighteenth Didn't Otis suppress the
President's proclamation looking to our
sovereignty, fearing an Insurrection?
Nineteenth Wasn't the first intimation
by the United States against indepen

of that letter or proclamation by the
President in December, and wasn't that
publication made by Miller by mistake?
Now, abandonlong all Ideas of Oriental
prestige, gain to ourselves, where would
yol say, honor bright that a man stood
wno naa in tne matter of clearing land
been treated as the Filipinos have been?
Encouraged to go on, in the belief he
was to own it I do not intend to pro
voke a discussion. I am not replying to
your criticisms of my little talk. I don't
think you quite g?et me correctly, but it
Is Immaterial, for we wouldn't agree,
anyway; but on these questions I am
curious to hear the view of so honest
and brave and nonpartisan a paper as The
Oregonlan. For, much as I have read
on tho subject In the press, I havo never
seen a quiet, calm answering argument;
only dogmatic assertion and denunciation.
