OSKY'S WINTER GARDEN (Third and lorrlson streets) Concert nightly. Getting Ready to Hunt. Sportsmen re looking: forward to the opening of le shooting: season for upland birds -with juch Interest, as report says there will an abundance of pheasants, grouse id quail, owing to the mild "Winter and ivorable Spring. The season for shoot- ig pheasants opens October 1 and lasts ltll December 1 west of the Cascades, tcept in the Counties of Jackson, Jose- llne. Coos, Curry and Clatsop, where lere will bo no open season until 1&02. ie season for grouse shooting In west- Oregon opens October 1, but east of le Cascades it opens August 1. The sea- jn for "prairie chickens" does not open st of the Cascades until September 1. fow the prairie chicken is a species of rouse, and while very few Portland jortemen care to go east of the Cas- les to shoot "grouse," that is, the blue rouse or willow grouse, which are nl- lys spoken of as grouse, many of them rould like to go there to shoot prairie llckens. As the season for grouse there sns a month earlier than for prairie ilckens, while the latter will be In roper condition for shooting as soon as ie grouse, s6me of the sportsmen here lave been figuring on the possibilities going east of the Cascades about Au- lst 1 to shoot grouse and taking ad- intage of the fact that "prairie llckens" are really a species of grouse, shoot as many as possible of them. Should any of them conclude to try this ttle game they will doubtless find them- slves haled before a Justice of the Peace gnd properly fined in short order. No of- Icer of the law In that section of the jtate is likely to consider a technicality Based on the fact that scientists consider prairie chicken a grouse, and If he did Sis neighbors would consider him a suse, and they would not consider them- alves scientists, either. ITHRTVINO MARKET FOR GUINEA PlOS. lere has been of late a scarcity of ilnea pigs in this market, the supply leing totally Inadequate to the demand. frcbably many people will wonder where Pny extensive demand for guinea pigs jmes from, as they are not used for Inythlng, so far as the general public is Sware, except for pets for children. The ict Is, however, that guinea pigs are demand at various institutions of ling for experimental or rather scl- ltific purposes. The discoverers or in- tentors of serums or "dopes" for de- Jtroylng the germs of disease use them jr testing their Inventions on, having Irst inoculated the little animals with ie germs of disease, as tuberculosis, holera, bubonic plague or some of the ther Ills flesh is heir to. A short time go one market man here received -an rder for three dozen of guinea pigs from n educational institution, but was una le to find the pigs to fill Jt He sent to tan Francisco for them, but found the lame condition of affairs in the markets Ihere, the schools of that state having Lbout used up the available supply of ilnea pigs. Time was when rabbits rere used as well as guinea Digs for fivlsectlon, inoculation with disease terms and treatment with cures for the lame, but since the Belgian-hare craze let in scientists have been unable to pay Ihe prices asked for them, and are afraid lo tackle ordinary rabbits, as no one lows but that they might have some train of hare blood in them which would lake them valuable. If a few persons rill start "guinea piggeries" it will not lake long to raise enough to sunnly all Ihe vhisectionlsts and other scientists In all the schools in the country. Good Crawfish Bait. Crawfishing is favorite amusement these days with nany who cannot get away to the beach to spend Sunday. It takes one out of town to some quiet, shady spot on a precK or bayou and furnishes an excuse for feeding one's appetite fat. especially If many crawfish are caught. One of a jarty who went out on Columbia Slough ,'esterday with a battery of 27 nets re ports having caught only seven dozen crawfish, and that the man who was to lave procured the refreshments fon the bccaslon proved recreant to his trust; bonsequently the expedition was not a reat success. It would Yjrve been still jess of a success but for the fact that ne of the party was a Belgian-hare fancier, one of whoso hares having died. ie tooK the carcass along for crawfish iait, and nearly all the crawfish cap tured were taken with thlB bait It is lot known whether the hare was one of the $1500 kind or one of the 15-cent kind. ma it is doubtful if the crawfish could tell. The hare fancier concluded that a larket for any oversupply of hares might round among crawfishers. It is. how- ver, hardly probable that they would jay enough for the carcasses to justify ly one in starting a hare farm with ligh-bred hares, with pedigrees longer than their ears. Moreover, It was finally uncovered tnat the salmon heads used tor baiting the other traps were very ?tajet ana tnat crawfish do not feed upon Stale fish, and that is why they preferred lore. Good Demand for logs. There con lnues to be a good demand for sawloro. md loggers are receiving remunerative inces. New camps are being started in several places, the most extensive one jelng Benson & Co.'s, on Deep River, mere several miles of railroad are under construction from the river over a di vide. This company put 20.000.000 feet of Iogs Into the water up to July 4, which s considered the middle of the logging season, ana win probably put in as much lore aunng the remainder of the season. jggers have no fear about there beine drop in prices, as they have thlnes so uranged that production can be checked ff there Is any danger of an overplus rnicn is HKciy to affect the market egging has become a business which to be successful must be conducted on a large scale, systematically and intelli gently, and no one can hope to do this ltnout sufficient capital, and it is mor than likely that when wet weather comes lis .Fall there will be a lot of logging ips ana outnts lor sale. Chinese Exhibitor Certificates. Collector of Customs Patterson has re ceived from "Washington books of blank certificates for Chinese and Japanese ex- iiDitors or employes of exhibitors at the 'an-Amerlcan Exposition to be held in Jurraio. :. i. These certificates are to e issued under the provisions of a 1olnt resolution of Congress, approved June 6, iOOO. Chinese or Japanese exhibitors or their employes arriving here must atrlv to the Commissioner of Immigration here. srho is the Collector of Customs, for their certificates allowing them to enter the juntry. The certificates are valid for iree months after the close of the ex- losltlcn, and are to be surrendered when the holders depart from the United States to the Commissioner of Immigration at ie port at which they embark. It is jrobable that some of the exhibitors or their employes may take advantage of this method of getting Into this country remain here, but not many will be ale to carry into effect a scheme of this ind. Fire in a Grocery Store. The fire 5e- mrtment was called to First and Hall streets yesterday afternoon, where the rocery store of Louis Levensky was found on Are. The building was burning omy in tne rear, ana the flames were easily extinguished by one of the chem ical engines. The building belonged to larks Rybke, and the damage, amount ing to $75, was covered by Insurance. :he stock of goods was also fully In sured, and the damage will not reach Bover $250. The origin of the fire Is un- lown. Portland Boy Drowned. Mrs. ,B. F. Johnson, of 832 Raleigh street, receives a elegram last evening containing the jews of the drowning of her son. Jeff Ijohnson, at VIento, at ? o'clock yester- Say afternoon. Particulars of the drown ing are lacking.

Seldom has there been such a tribute to a young man' memory as that paid Saturday at the funeral of Philip Chester Cox. who met his death last week bv drowning. The Taylor-Street Church was -filled with j friends of the young man and his fam ily, and beautiful floral pieces from fhe Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, Ladd & Tllton's Bank, the First National Bank, the Clearing-House Association, J. "Wesley Ladd and William Ladd and nu merous others all testified to the esteem In which the young man -was held. Dr. H. "W. Kellogg preached the funeral ser mon, and paid an earnest tribute to his manliness and sterling qualities. The pall-bearers were Herbert Kerrigan, F. E. "Watklns and Godfrey Blumenthal, of the Multnomah Club, and H. C. Humph rey. F. S. Pierce, G. "W. Gammle, of the Ladd & Tllton Bank. The Interment took place at the Rlvervlew cemetery. Funeral, of Mrs. Durgin. Yesterday the funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Durgin took place from the family residence, Thir teenth and Salmon streets, where Rev. Mr. Boyd, of the Presbyterian Church, preached the sermon. The remains were Interred in Vancouver, Wash., in the family plot in Vancouver cemetery, after funeral services at the Episcopal Church, conducted by Rev. E. P. Hill, of the First Presbyterian Church of Portland. Mrs. Durgin was a well-known pioneer, and many friends gathered together yes terday to pay tribute to her memory. The excellent train service of tho As toria & Columbia River Railroad between Portland, Genrhart Park and Seaside Is attracting thousands of people to the beach. Through trains leave Portland dally at S A. M., and run through direct without transfer or vexatious delays, ar riving at Georhart Park at 12:20 P. M. and Seaside at 12:30 P. M.; returning, leaving Seaside at 5 P. M. and Gearhart at 5:10 P. M., arriving In Portland at 9:40 P. M. of the same day, thus giving passengers an outing of nearly five hours at the beach. Bought Totem Poles. B. B. Rich and wife returned yesterday from a two weeks' visit to Seattle and other Puget Sound cities. Mr. Rich bought a number of small Alaskan totem poles as souvenirs of his trip, and they are attracting (Con siderable attention at the Hotel Portland. These queer little specimens of Esqulmo sculpture are graven from a hard, blaok substance resembling volcanic glass, and are supposed to symbolize historical events and the lives of great hunters and fishermen who have become deified. Damaged His Eye. A. Wusler, a busi ness man of Baker City, Is staying at the St. Charles whne under treatment by a Portland optician. One day last week Mr. Wusler was opening a cask of lard when a piece of iron off the hoop or a piece of steel from the hammer entered the left eyeball. The metallic substance has been extracted while the patient was put under the Influence of cocaine. It Is thought the sight may yet be preserved. Two-Round Knockout. The "20-round" boxing contest at Troutdale yesterday between Eddie Murphy and Rich Jen tiss, of Portland, resulted in a knock-out in the second round. Murphy outclassed his antagonist, and won a swift victory. Chester Perkins, of Salem, sends word that he is sick and will not be able to challenge the winner, as he expected to. MILK RANCH AT NOME. Portland Man Malting Good Money Up There. Running a milk ranch is the only pay ing business at Nome, according to S. M. Barr, a well-known citizen, of Portland, who took a number of milch cows up there this Summer. In a letter to Fred Fletcher, dated July 4, received yesterday, Mr. Barr says: "I have been bore about 10 days. This place is a fake. We landed O. K., and I now have everything under my two tents, and am well settled. I am taking in about ?50 a day, and think I can keep up my lick for the Summer. "The day before I arrived, milk was St per' gallon; the day I got ashore it dropped to $3; two days later it went to $2. When the Skookum arrived In a few days after that. It dropped to It, I have two rustlers out. and they are selling all I have at $2. They shade the price for a gallon and over. "I don't know of any business here that stands as good a show as mine to pay out. Some saloons are doing well, and those who have doors and sash to sell are doing well, as there is a terrible build ing boom. "All the mining machinery brought here, I think. Is a dead loss. The same may be said of horses and wagons. Hay and feed of all kinds can be bought for less than the freight paid on it, so I have no uneasiness about providing for my cows during the season. "Tell all the boys who could not come here that they should consider them selves in big luck. This place is a great gamble, and no money Is being taken out yet Many people think It will Im prove in business, and others. Just as nu merous, say it will slump within three or four weeks. As for myself, I would not advise anyone to come. "Thousands are leaving this -vicinity in small boats for all points on the shores of Behrlng Sea. in hopes of finding some thing. They may succeed and they may not. There are a good many bad casos of sickness, and we are using all the pre cautions we can." Mr. Barr and a 14-year-old son, expect to put In the months of July, August and September at Nome, and will leave there before the cold weather closes down and puts a stop to milking operations. The cows will be slaughtered for beef, and the business thus summarily closed down, so that even should Nome turn out a permanent fake, Mr. Barr will lose noth ing by his venture, but stands a chance of coming out several thousand dollars ahead. He did not Join In the rush for the purpose of making money out of the mines, but rather with a view of obtain ing some of the coin brought to that country by the adventurers. He says the stock weathered the voy age well, and that only three steers and one horse were lost from the cargo. These were bruised so severely by the rolling of the vessel that they died from the In juries. i i STREET FAIR BOOMING, Biff Demand for Buttons Exhibit Space Nearly Taken. If the outside demand for Elks' Street Fair and Carnival buttons Is any Indication of the Interest already awakened, there can be no doubt of an Immense number of visitors pourlnc Into Portland during the holding of the fair and carnival. The manufacturers of the buttons ask for time. Their original, order of several thousand has been exhausted, and to get around the dilemma they ask that a new design be made. This the committee is loth to do, notwithstanding the beauty of the new devices presented. Orders are coming In from all directions, although Portland Lodge has sent out many thousands to the different lodges, free gratis. As an Indication of the local Interest, the committee on space Is at its wits' end to meet the demand, and the only solution of the problem Is to endeavor to cut down the spaces already granted. This the Elks do not wish to do, and a meeting will be called to decide upon some man ner of compromise -with space contractors. The attractions incident to the different parades are looming up In fine shape, and bother the committee as to how they can be properly handled: All these things point to an overwhelming success.

THINKS MINISTERS SAFE POJT SEA SAYS CIIIXESE "VVILli NOT KILL THEM: Portland Interpreter Believes His People Too "VIe to Brlnff Veise- ancc on Their Heads. Tho present trouble In China means the downfall of the reigning dynasty, ac cording to local Chinese. It may result temporarily in the separation of Northern and Southern China, but this will be followed ultimately, say Portland Chi nese, In the people of China proper re gaining the reins of government which have so long been withheld by the more warlike Machurlans, Mongolians and Tartars. What will become of the hap less whites In Northern China in the meantime is a problem less clearly studied out but the Impression seems general that there Is sufficient intelligence in the government at Pekin to protect foreign Ministers to the utmost ability of the government because of the ven geance all enlightened Chinese know would follow such wanton murder. While local Chinese are avowedly against the present dynasty or any other Mon golian, Manchurlan or Tartar dynasties, so far as the question concerns merely the Chinese Empire, they believe the government will endeavor to protect the foreign Ministers. And as for support being sent from tho American Chinese to further or promote a contest against civilization, they scout tho idea. Pon Sea, formerly interpreter at the police station, is one who prides him self on the folk lore and traditions of his people. Like almost all American Chi nese, he Is in ardent advocate of what is known as the reform movement, and his conversation reveals that he has been reading tho litorature of the two noted Chinese philosophers upon whose heads the Chinese Government has placed such enormous prices Hong Yu Tat, at Singapore, and Lung Kal Cheu, at Honolulu. Pon Sea said yesterday: "You people don't understand this Chi nese question. First remember there are U provinces on the north and nine on the south that don't agree on every thing. These nine southern provinces aro old China, while the 11 are the Mongol ians, Manchurlans and Tartars. Now, when the old Emperor died the two Em press Dowagers took the government until the son became of age. He died shortly after, childless, which left no son to make a king. One Empress Dow ager, Tze An, died, maybe poisoned by the other, Tsl Hsl Tuan Yu, the old Em press Dowager running things now. She got this young fellow, Kwang Hsu, for Emperor and put him up. When ho started ahead to reform things she put him down. That was in 1S9S. and the same time the government offered $1. 000.000 for the head of Hong Yu Tal, the philosopher who was one of tho leadera of the young Emperor, and Lung Kal CheU. They both got away. "Now this old woman was very bad when she was young. She saw a fine looking Chinese in the province of one of the Viceroys, married him and had him brought to the palace at Pekln. When they had one son she wanted to put him on the thione when she saw Kwang Hsu had no children. This fine looking Chinese was not from the royal family. Prince Tuan's men poisoned the Chinese and took all the money he had been stealing from the government I don't know what became of the child the old Empress Dowager wanted to put on the throne. Then Prince Tuan wanted lils son adopted by Kwang Hsu so he would get on the throne. Some of tho Mongolians, Manchurlans and Tartars want the Emperor Kwang Hsu, sorao want Prince Tuan's son, and some want other persons from among themselves. I think the old Empress Dowager now wants Tuan's son. That was the reason LI Hung Chang -was taken away from Pekln. LI Hung Cnans was the big man in Pekln. but Prince Tuan knows he Is against him. So Prince Tuan could make friends with all the people at Pekln and get them for his son as Emperor, he wants LI Hung Chang out of the way. He was too big a man to throw down, so he did like Governor Pennoyer when he came from the Governor's office to be Mayor ho took a Viceroy's position In a province down In China, which Is his people. Then when Prince Tuan wants to have his son adopted and they object, he says he will bring all his friends on he had made in Pekln, and that he will raise h 1 so the foreigners wdll bombard, because he don't like the foreigners. "Li Hung Chang will never get to Pe kln. He Is a fool to try. Prince Tuan's men will kill him sure. They wanted him out of the way. You white people don't understand when you think he will help the Boxers or Prince Tuan. They are Mongolians, Manchurlans and Tar tars. LI Hung Chang is a heathen Chi nese from China. There are two wise Viceroys near the boundary between the nine and the 11 provinces, named Low Quon Yick and Chung ""h Tung. One Is wiser than Ll Hung Chang and one Is weaker. We asked these three to pro tect every white man in the nine prov inces, not let one get killed, and If it got too hot, take them by tho neck and lead them out until the trouble was ovei ; make them get out for a while until we got through fighting. All of us in tho nine southern provinces are friends to the white man. Before LI Hung Chang went away from Canton he and these two Viceroys made up a big army of 300.000 men. They were moved up towards the boundary betweon the nine and the 11 provinces to hold the Boxers bnck. Some white men thought they were going to Pekln. They don't like the Boxers, and If they try to come through these passes this army will fight them. Boxers will have to stay out of China. Chinese m the United 3tntes do not give a d n for Pekin. Thit belongs to the Man churlans, Mongolians and Tartars, and Chinese here don't care what the white men do with them. All we want Is to see the wh't men saved, especially In the nine provlncee, and then If the pow ers will help, the nine provinces, which is China, will set up a government and mako the orhers In the north come to It in time. You see all the Chinese in the United States comp from Quang Tong, or Canton Province, Foo Kien and Che Klang. Prince Chlng is a good man and our friend, but he is too weak in Pekln. He has few men and little money. "I don't like that about Russia fight ing on the north. Russia can't come down through China with 300,000 men. The Chinese would wear them out They would keep coming, man after man, so fast that the Russians couldn't eat or sleep. All the Chinese hate Russia, be cause sho Is taking land. The Chinese hate the French first and then Russia. "No. sir, you will find out the Ministers are safe., because them Chinese are not fool enough to kill them." Abont the Starr Case. PORTLAND, July 22. (To the Editor.) The writer of tho following statement Is a friend of Dr. Starr, and has been for years, and when frequent rumors came reflecting upon his dignity and bear ing as a minister of the gospel, and, at times, upon his moral character, we al lowed the desire to father the thought and steadily refused to believe that there was anything seriously wrong in either his conduct or character. But having become familiar with many facts proven beyond a doubt by a number of compe tent witnesses whose characters are above reproach and whose motives can not be Impeached we are, notwithstand ing our friendship, compelled to the Arm conviction that Dr. Starr has been un true to the confidence imposed in him by the church and by Individuals. We regret to add publicity to this mat ter, but our love of truth, our loyalty to the church, and our desire that simple Justice be done to all concerned, together with' the fact that misleading statements jhavo been published in The Orcgonlan, Impel us to state a few of- tho facts In the case. As has been stated In these columns, it la true that on July 5, 1000, charges against Dr. Starr of Imprudent and Im moral conduct were investigated. This Investigation was conducted before, a com mittee of seven ministers all friends of Dr. Starr and six ladles gave evidence to prove that he had been guilty either of Immoral or Imprudent conduct when calling upon them. The charge of Imprudence was sustained In four specifications. But two days previous to the investigation of Dr. Starr, a lady member of his church was placed on trial before a Jury of representative men from the Portland Methodist churches, charged -with slandering him and with lying, sho having stated that he on several occasions made improper and immoral proposals to her, claiming that it was not forbidden by the word of God. The testimony proved so con clusively the guilt of Dr. Starr that not a single specification was sustained against the woman, A. S. MULLIGAN, G. SYKES. NO MONEY IN SHINGLES. Overproduction Haa Caused Mills to Shut Doirn. Overproduction has played smash with the shingle-making industry of Western Washington, according to W. O. Wright, of Castle Rock, now In Portland. Mr. Wright has been making shingles at Cas tle Rock for several years, but has closed down his mill, he thinks, until after the Presidential election. The cost of getting tho product ready for shipment Is about 31 10 per 1000, while the value of tho shingles Is only $1 15 to $1 25. This Is not margin enough to Justify a continuance In the business, and many mills besides his own -have shut down. Saw mills which have shingle mills In connection keep on, however, as much of their lum ber depends on the shingles for its sale. Lumber is a good price, and so these mills cannot stop shingle-making, as or ders for the roof covering accompany those for carloads of lumber. "Shingle-making has paid pretty well for several years past" Mr. Wright said last evening, "and a great many new shingle mills have been put up, while the capacity of old plants has been much enlarged. Price of labor and stumpage has advanced In the meantime, and the demand did not Increase at the same ratio. "Oregon has been our best market for shingles, though we have shipped t great many East over the Northern Pacific The East however, demands a different article to that commonly used on the Coast Here the shingle used Is 16 Inches long and a thickness of five shingles to two Inches at the butt In the East they must be 18 Inches long and four butts must fill out two Inches. We there fore prefer to sell our product out here. "The closing down of shingle mills has thrown a good many men out of work, as a shlngle-maker as a rule won't work at anything else. The men have made mechanics' wages, averaging $3 a day, none being paid less than $2 50, but they do not lay up much money, and so are in no condition to stand a long siege of idleness. They are dally expecting a re sumption of the shingle mills, and do not look'for anything else. I cannot see at present any sign of returning prosperity In the shingle business." MARSH-SHANK RECITAL. Programme at the Metropolitan To night. This evening at the Metropolitan Thea ter Miss Marie Marsh, pianist and Mrs. Retta Johnston Shank, contralto soloist, will give their Joint recital.

GRESHAM. July 23. Several stockhold ers In the Gresham cheese factory and others who are selling large quantities of milk there havo decided to build silos for economy In the use of feed for their cows. The only silo now In thi3 section was built last year by W. W. Cotton, and was filled with green corn fodder. It proved such a decided success that there will be many others built and the matter of feed for milch cows will be tested in several experiments. "Just at this time," said Manager Lewis, "the quality of m'ilk is decreasing which we receive at the factory and that fact has decided those who are Interested to build silos in order to keep the production up. It has been demonstrated that one acre of land will keep a cow if she is kept up and the feed brought to her. This is best done by put ting the first crop of clover in the silo and feeding it out at this season, when grass Is getting short Then refill the silo with corn for Winter use and you have plenty of milk all the time." One farmer here has a cow which he cared for In the way Indicated by Mr. Lewis and Its yield for an exact year, just past was 1500 pounds of milk, which contained COO pounds of butter fat and the revenue from her was $132. This cow was the best one In a herd, all of which did nearly as well, and the experiment has decided many cow owners to build silos and increase their herds. A Great Devastator.' The "clover worm." spoken of In this column last week. Is spreading over many arms and doing great damage. The fine garden of Road Supervisor Conley has been nearly eaten up and others are in despair at the ravages of the worm. Sev eral farmers are making arrangements to fight them by plowing ditches, using poison, and by fires. The worm Is spread ing rapidly and there Is danger that It will overrun this entire section. It was first noticed near Gresham. and later near the Sandy River, and seems to bo march ing westward. Nothing is safe from their ravages, and they are very numerous In places. Two gentlemen lately from the East declare It to be the army worm, but thir is denied by others, who consider it merely a local pest which will disap pear. Several specimens havo been sent to Professor WIthycombe, at Corvallis, who will probably give some Information about them. Mysterious Surveying. County Surveyor Hurlburt has had a force' of men at work for the past two or three months surveying and measur ing several of the most Important creeks that flow into the Sandy River from the east side. The men have taken levels all along the banks of Gordon Creek. Trout Creek, and Hurlburt Creek, and have made estimates of the volume of water In each, and the power they oould furnish. There is a splendid water fall on Hurlburt Creek of about 50 feet In height, which has received special attention, as it is very convenient for utilization. Much speculation Is rife a3 to the object of these surveys, but no information has been given out by tho County Surveyor, although It is rumored that an extensive electrical power plant will be built out there If the water power is found adequate. Brief Soten. Travel over the Portland-Sandy stage line has increased to such an extent with tho flne weather that three stages are now running dally. The heaviest travel Is by prospective campers, who are bound for the Cascades.
