Three fconest, law-abiding citizens of Portland happened to be .camping at the mouth of Garden Creek, a tributary of the Sandy, last Saturday evening. Near thein two men with several deerhounds were camped. Sunday morning the men with the hounds were out early, and soon the toaying of tho latter was heard on the hills, and Jt was evident that a deer was being hunted with hounds, contrary to the game law. Tho three law-abiding citizens hastened to place themselves on the best "stands" they could And, and prepared to shoot any deer which might be driven to the river. They were not intending to violate the law, as they had nothing to do with the hounds and had a right to shoot a deer If they saw one. It being the open season for deer. They also Intended to appropriate any deer they might shoot to their own use, con sidering the other hunters as law-breakers. They depended on the fact that they wero three to two to get away with their scheme. Fortunately for them, no deer was run Into the river or seen. If Game Warden Qulmby can ascertain the names of the men who were hunting deer with bounds, ho will make things tropical for them. More Bulck. Bass Planted. As was suggested a few days ago. It seems hardly worth while for the Fish and Game Association to waste time considering "whether It Is advisable- to plant black bass in the streams of Oregon or not. A four-pound bass was caught a short time ago at the falls of the Willamette, and there are doubtless more like it there, and a Portland sportsman who has Just returned from Salem states that lots of black bass are caught In the river there - '.out the mouth of Mill Creek. When it Is remembered that all the catfish m the rivers and sloughs of this region came from a few little ones procured by George White, of Silver Lake, Wash., fmm Sacramento and planted In that lake. It can easily be Imagined that the black bass has effected a lodgment suf ficient for all purposes and is here to stay. Some young bass were planted In tho river near Salem a few years ago, and, they will attend to stocking the whole river. Wants a. Floattno Bawmim Captain Weir, of the steamer Katie Weir, is In Portland endeavoring to interest capital In the construction of a floating sawmill. "This mill," he says, ''can be moved about to follow up the logs, and thou sands of dollars' worth of timber may be caught floating down the Columbia and Willamette Rivera from which good ro Jgh lumber, ties, etc., can be made. A good many fine logs are now lying stranded on tho river banks and In The various sloughs between Portland and Astoria, and these are doing nobody any good. With my floating sawmill I can utilize all these and turn hem into many thou sand feet of merchantable lumber. Iogs are getting to be logs, nowadays, and It will pay to ?ave them." Overloaded With Plums. The prune crop may be bhy In places this year, but there Is no lack of other varieties of fruit, and many trees are loaded to the breaking-down point. 1. T. HIcklln, of Courtney Station, on the Oregon" City electric line, yesterday brought to ihe Oregonlan office a bough of a plum tree bo loaded with fruit that there did not seem room for another plum. The fruit was not fully grown, but tho bough was fully loaded, and could not have borne another ounce of weight. Fruit trees overloaded In this manner are not un common In Oregon, but are not so nu merous this year probably as they have been In years past. Not Intended for Cutworms. A Sa lem man has Invented what he calls a "gopher gun" for the extermination of that industrious rodent, and he is now in Portland selling county rights for It. The appliance consists of a metal stock resembling that of an old-fashioned horse piktol. This Ib buried In the trench made, by the gopher who, when he comes along, rubs against the trigger and commits Involuntary suicide. Farmers now think they need something to shoot the cut worms with, but this gun will not work on the caterpillar. It was simply Invented to jo for the gophers. Settled Amicably. A flnal decree "was entered In the United States Court yes terday In the case of P.. A. Graham vs. the Beaver Hill Coal Company, Sprecklcs et al. This case has been In the courts for two years, and Is now finally dis posed of. The dispute between Graham and Spreckles was amicably settled, and nothing remained for the court to do but to order the receiver, W. W. Catlin, to pay out of funds in his hands J10S1 for la bor, ?300 as counsel's fees arid small bills, amounting to $223 and put an end to further litigation in the case. Xodqe Man Arrested. D. W. Peirce, agent for the fraternal order. Bankers of the World, was arrested yesterday on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. J. L,. Mitchell, secretary of the Order of Washington, is the com plaining witness, and charges Peirce- with having secured his indorsement on his draft for ?80 on the treasury of the Bank ers of the World, when he had no credit there and no authority to draw such a draft. Mitchell, as indorser, had to pay the draft, and now brings a criminal suit against Peirce.' Charged With Labcent. Charles Rus set was arrested yesterday morning by Detective Day on the complaint of James Gain, an employe In the O. R. & N. Co.'s carshops, who accuses Russel of picking his pocket of a gold watch, in a, Sixth-street saloon. Russel surrendered the watch to Detective Day. and gave as a plea that the watch had been won as the stake in a dice game. The case will come up for a hearing in' the Mu nicipal Court today. Too Close for Safett: A young man near the corner of Twenty-third and Washington streets lb training a horse not to bo afraid of the street cars. Last evening he led the animal so close to a, passing car that, in fright, the horse almost plunged upon the person of two women passengers, -who, of course, wero badly frightened. Horse-trainers should bo more careful and select something besides street-car passengers to experi ment on. Elk for the Fountain. The bronze elk for the D. P. Thompson fountain ar rived yesterday and will be transported to the fountain site today. It weighs 6S00 pounds. Contractor H. G. Wright, who also designed the fountain, expects to have the structure completed and the elk mounted one week from today. C. E. S, Wood and City Engineer Chase have been asked to receive the fountain from the contractor on behalf of the generous donor. Incorporations. Articles of Incorpora tion of tho Columbia Fruit Canning Com pany were filed with the Clerk of the County Court yesterday. The incorporat ors are F. G. Pickett, J. C. Pancher and R. W. Thompson; capital, J40W. Articles of incorporation of tho Devlin Stamp Machine Company were filed. The In corporators are S, Grutz, A. S. Helntz, J. S. Beall, L. W, Cuthburt and D. Soils Cohen; capital, $GO,000. Saved With Bull Run Water, A pile of old lumber at the Pennoyer sawmill caught fire yesterday at 1:30 P. M., evi dently from a lighted cigar stump, and an alarm was turned In from, box 29, at Water and Hani3on streets. The de partment threw a large amount of pure Bull Run on the flames and surrounding sawdust piles, thus saving the new ele vated roadway under which the blaze started.

Complaint Is made to The Oregonlan 'in regard 10 property-owners who neglect to cut thLs tles on their property. Special mention is made of a quarter block at the north east corner of Twelfth and Harrjsonj streets, which, is literally covered wita thistles which are going to seed. Too down is already flying and not only scat tering the seeds over every lawn in that neighborhood, but is blowing into the windows of houses and annoying house keepers. The property mentioned is in the hands of some loan association, hav ing lately been takon In under foreclosure of mortgage. Perhaps appeal to the own ers of the land might secure abatement of the nuisance. There is an ordinance providing a penalty for parties neglecting to cut thistles, burdocks and other weeds on their premises, but It is never on forced. Perhaps lodgment of a formal complaint with the Chief of Police might have some effect. If people were all neat and tidy and had respect for the rights and privileges of their neighbors, they would keop their premises clear of weeds, etc., but they are not bo constituted. MIade a Good Picture. Postmaster Croasman having been requested by the supervising architect at Washington to send him a photograph of the Postofflco building here, Mr. Croasman asked Postal Inspector Clements, who Is an amateur photographer, to make the desired pic ture. The result Is one of the finest pho tographs imaginable. It was taken from a window in the Goodenough block and shows every feature of the Postofllce building as clearly as possible and also a view of the north end of the Port land Hotel and The Oregonlan building. The flag on the Postoffice Is shown spread to full size, and even the ball on the top of the flagstaff on The Oregonlan building and the smoke Issuing from its chimney can be seen. Mr. Clements is an artist, and if the supervising architect Is not pleased with the photograph he Is hard to please. Police Commission Meetino. At the meeting of the Police Commissioners last evening, a communication was received from the County Commissioners request ing that the new bridge-tenders appoint ed should be made special policemen. This was granted. No reply was received from the City Council In response to the board's official communication requesting an additional appropriation from the gen eral fund. It was. decided. In case the City Counrll took favorable action upon this request at Its meeting tomorrow, by diverting Into tho police fund the reve nues of the Municipal Court, that a spe cial meeting would be called this week. The board would then proceed to en large the force and give tho city more adequate police protection. Aster Bank-Robber Raplet. Charles W St. Claire, a Deputy Sheriff of Wil liamsburg, Va, arrived yesterday after noon with tho requisition papers from the Governor of Virginia for James Rapley, th'e daring bank-robber arrested In Port land last Monday. Today Deputy Sher iff St. Claire will go to Salem to get the papers from Governor Geer,. and tomor row will start with Rapley for Williams burg, the place of the robbery. One man from the local Pinkerton force will be detailed to accompany St. Claire during tho Journey until the cracksman Is landed safely behind trcn bars. Dangerous Bridge. "HI, there, don't drlvo across that bridge," now greeta teamsters who approach the Front-street crossing of Marquam Gulch, either day or night. A guard Is stationed at each end, and as two shifts are necessary, the bridge is now costing S3 a day in order that a suit for damages may not be commenced against the city by some ono whose horse has fallen through the rotten deck. The problem of repairing a lot of elevated roadways Is one that falls fo Mayor Rowe's administration, and $SO,000 could be -used to advantage In putting them In proper shape. For a Bio State Fair. The state fair promises to be of more than usual In terest this year, and as especial Induce ments are held forth to each county, there Is likely to be considerable friendly rivalry for prizes. The management Is using every means within its power to make the exhibit an Interesting one. and more visitors are expected than ever be fore. The year 1800 is prolific of good stock and perfect fruits and vegetables, and a little enthusiasm on the part of the citizens of each county will help make tho affair a grand success. Hotel Flavel. This finest seaside ho tel in the Northwest Is open for guests".

Appearance of Streets During: Carnival, an Evil That Could Have Been Obviated. Tho carnival Is close at hand. With It will come a host of visitors from far and near to partake of Portland's hospi tality. Like "a chlel among us taking notes" they will also pass judgment upon out municipal merits and defects. Wood piles and bicycle stands will arouse hos tile criticism. But there are minor evils, and a word In season may cause their disappearance before the great fair opens. Tho real eyesores, whose effect upon the stranger within our gates we have cause to dread, are the dilapidated and decrepit roadbeds, bridges and wooden sidewalks with which our otherwise attractive city 13 liberally spotted. Decay here, decay there, decay everywhere. Even the tlm bers of tho new roadbed on Bast Morri son street, only laid a few months, al ready show decadences. This rapid deterioration, owing to tho climatic conditions. Is bound to manifest Itself whonever timber in Its natural state is exposed to the ravages of weather and hard usage. Should we, therefore, as has been suggested, banish wood from our street and bridge structures, and substi tute expensive fills and steel work in its stead? By no means. Wood is Oregon's natural staple for construction work, and from an economic standpoint, as well as to afford aid and encouragement to our milling Industries, its use should be limited only by Its availability. This availability can be multiplied many times by the use of wood's natural protector, Avenarius Car bollneum, the well-known German pre servative. This compound is now ex tensively employed by railroads, ship builders, Government, state, county and municipal engineers everywhere, and is rapidly gaining ground In Portland. If the roadbeds of East Portland, the guloh bridges of South Portland and North Portland, the paving blocks of Fourth and First streets, and decaying sidewalks everywhere had been treated with Avenarius Carbollneum, when origi nally constructed, the citizens of Port land would havo no cause to dread the dropping of a street-car Into a cavity or to anticipate with dread the criticisms of carnival visitors upon our wreckage. Streets, bridges and sidewalks would be in prime condition, the use of Ordgon wood! vindicated, and, last but not least, the Board of Public Works would not be confronted with the problem of how to make ends meet without the financial cement required to Join them. CAMP OF THE VETERANS. Formal Opening: of Exercises at Pleasant Home. The camp grounds of the G. A. R. at Pleasant Home last night was an ani mated scene. In the center of the flve acro tract that fias been cleared by the M. A. Ross Post for encampments, Is a big elevated platform covered with dirt On this a huge bonfire was built, which Illuminated the entire grounds. The white tents, for families, which are grouped In tho trees on the north side of the grounds, and the big eating-house off to the northeast formed a pleasing picture. Last night on the ground the committee of arrangements had provided a unique exercise called "Campllre Sparks," which was conducted by Jlles G. Stephens. There were short stories of the war told by old soldiers In their homely way. Then came patriotic selec tions by Frank Stephens, a well-known young rhsn, who Is attending the Cor vallls Agricultural College. This young man was brought up In the neighborhood and his friends take much pride in him. His renditions called out much applause. Clarence Stephens also gave several ren ditions. There was patriotic music, and the woods surrounding the camp, grounds rang with molody, such as "Tenting on tho Old Camp Ground," "Many Are the Hearts That Are Sad Tonight," "Star Spangled Banner," and other songs that have stirred the hearts of multitudes sd often. Jt was indeed late when all was silent on the camp ground. Already the grounds wear a patriotic appearance. The speakers platform and the various stands have been decorated with National colors. Many families have arrived. Tents are standing all through the woods, and everything points to a successful re union. Today will be the formal opening. At 10:30 Rev. M. L. Pardlngham will deliver the address of welcome and N. S. Holl croft and others will respond. In the afternoon Rev. Alexander Blackburn will address the people. The names of Dr. Rockwell, Dr. Black burn, George C. Brownell, Thomas C Devlin and General Compson are among tho list of speakers for the week. Thurs day forenoon General Compson, who wa3 lth the 1500 cavalry detachment under Colonel Davis thnt escaped from Harper's Ferry, when it was surrounded by Stone wall Jackson, will tell the story of that most thrilling Incident of the Civil War. This address promises to be of great in terest especially to old soldiers. Saved Two From Drown In jr. Fred McCarver, of the East Side, has returned from Gearhart Park, at Clat sop. He was there two weeks, anl sat Monday had a rather exciting experience with Sherman Brennan and Otto Meyer, while In bathing, at 8 o'clock that even ing. All three were in bathing together and It seems got out too far, and when they started shoreward encountered dif ficulty and made little headway. Mc Carver finally reached the beach In an exhausted condition, but his two com panions were still struggling in the water, making no headway. Some one got a buoy and brought It down to the edge of tho water, but not being able to swim, could not get out to the men. McCarver recovered a little and started out to the men with tho buoy. . He first camo to Mayer, but as he was getting along now all right, hp took the buoy, on out to Brennan, who had already gone down onoe and was in an exhausted condition. Whon he got hold of the buoy ho rested a short time and then reached the" shore. All three were exhausted with their struggles, and very glad to oomq out of their little difficulty without losing their lives. Brennan Is a strong swimmer, but remained In too long. Brennan and Meyer are both from Portland. East Side Notes, The meetings In the large tent on East Eighth and East Taylor streets, under tho auspices of tho United Evangelical Churches, will continue the present week. The meetings have ben well at tended and the Interest is on the In crease. Good music Is provided at all the services. Wilbur Ward, Southern Pacific yard master, whose left ankle was crushed last week, suffered very severely yester day, but the attending surgeon thinks he Is progressing toward recovery. The first plaster was removed and another put on. His sufferings now are attributed to the fact that the bones are knitting. Rev. L. E. Rockwell, D. D of Cen tenary; Rev, F. L. Coulter, of the United Brethren Church, and several others, will start on bicycles for Pleasant Home to take part In the opening ceremonies at the G, A. R. reunion there today. Dr. Rockwell will remain till Wednesday, when he will speak on "The, Early Cam paigns of General Grant" He slipped out the backdoor of his home and shouldering f his musket went into the union Army when, he was 17 years of age.
