Ik. jolly party of some half dozen street contractors went on a fishing excursion -to Eagle Creek, a branch of the Clacka mas, a few days ao. They "went a"nray up one of the forks of th& creek, and made their camp, being all the kind of raen -who Are at home on the hoad waters of streams. Very early next morning Mr. Findley, of South Portland, one of the leaders of the expedition, awoke a chum of his and the pair stole away In the dawn, determined, to get further up the creek than any of the others and so se cure the lest fishing. They traveled away into the mountains until the can yon of the stream became a precipitous gorge, and they then started to descend to the creek. The descent was so steep that they needed all their hands and foot, not to mention teeth and toenails, to lower themselves down, and finally, coming to a precipice, they concluded to drop their reels, rods, etc., into the abyss and seek the bottom by a circui tous route. "When they got a piece far ther down they came to another precipice and made another circuit to get down, and they kept coming to precipices and snaking circuits till past noon, when they Toached the bottom, where there were slathers of trout as long as one's arm Just begging to be caught. They looked for their tackle, and they kept looking for it till It was time to go back to camp, but they never found it, and flnally xeached camp, the most tired, hungry and disgusted pair of sportsmen ever seen in that region. Hereafter they will not en deavor to go so far up creeks to fish. Waxts to But Old Crematort. The city owns porno three acres of land at Rocky Point, on Columbia Slough, and the remains of the old garbage crematory on It. The crematory was never a suc cess, and waa finally abandoned and a aiew one built at the North End, which lias proved a success, maugre the predic tions of the then Mayor S. Pennorer to the contrary. The Council has of late '"been endeavoring to seJl what is left of the old crematory and the site. vA. man who lh'es not far from the place and has land adjoining the site was in the city yesterday, he said, far the third time trying to get the committee on health and polloo to take action on the offer he has made for the property, but it was not the day for the meeting of this committee, and he accomplished nothing. Moitntud Sojto Birds. A case of hand somely mounted song birds, including specimens of those imported by the As sociation for the Importation of European Song Birds and others, has been placed on permanent exhibit at 246 "Washington street, H. El Dosch, who has charge of the exhibit, invites members of the So ciety for the Protection of Birds to call and familiarize themselves with the ap poaranoe of the different birds. The case lias been loaned to the permanent exhibit by C P. Pfluger, secretary of the asso clatlon for importing birds, and contains specimens of the skylark, song thrush, starling, goldfinch, bullfinch, green finch, English robin and others. Most of these birds have prosprd in their new home, cjid are to be foui d in numbers in and about Portland. Tub Problem of Tea. Tea Inspector Chapln is in the city again examining the shipments of tea which arrived on the Argyll. There are a large number of shipments for local and Eastern im porters, and Mr. Chapln has a great many samples to test. The war In China lias caused a flurry in the tea market, and prices have advanced throe cents per pound, and men in Son Francisco and Now Tork are buying up all the tea they can get liold of. The crop In Japan is short, and what Is to be tho output of China or what Is to become of It this season no one can foretell. The Ceylon crop is not large enough to cut much of a figure, so there is a chance for speculation in tea at present. Cricket Match Today. A cricket match will bo played today between tho Multnomahs and crews from the ships Franklstan, Oedarbank and Nlthsdale. The 11 best players will be selected from the following names to represent the Bhips: Davis. Sellers, Barbers, Chal mers, Pritchanl, Small, Jones. Simpson, Watson. Rowland. Laverick, Adams, Par rott and Barr. Tho M. A. A. C cricket team will bo chosen on the field. The game will be called at 3 o'clock. So far the Multnomahs have won every cricket game played this season, and they hope to go through the peason with an un broken record. Br. Hay will umpire. There will be no cliarse for admission to tho game. Bt'TTER Higher. Butter has taken an other stop up. and 30 cents per pound Is now tho price of a choice article. Dairy men ought to be happy, but consumers of butter aro not, and thay are Inquiring what the price of butter is Hkelv to be In the Winter Those who have silos of corn can make butter about as cheap In tho Winter as in the Summer and if tho price gets a little higher. Eastern butter will begin to come in. Sugar has also gone up again. It has been advanc ing 10 cents per cental, but this time it has advanced 16 cents, and now the sack or 100 pounds costs J3 SO. "Vegotarlans and mush-eaters are not troubled by any In crease In the price of their food. Will Prhpark Pl,edo:ed Frctt. The Cured Fruit Asodatlon. which met yes terday at 24C Washington street, decided to prepare to pack the fruit already pledged, whether any roara 'acres are se cured or not. Local unions were directed to arrange for packing when the time oomes and await advices from the Port land headquarters as to disposition and aale. Better prices are expected to pre vail this year as the crop of the Coast has been considerably cut down by un propldous weather in the early Spring. Boxes are recommended for use in pack ing this year, as they permit of placing the product on the market in better condition n.AX Seed Crop. Farmers in Northern Idaho have 31.000 acre-; In flax for seed, which thoy are now getting ready to .cut,' "While the crop is good, it i not so good as was expected, and much of it will yield about 12 to 15 bushels per acre. Last year fiax seed was $1 per bushel when wheat was less than 30 cents The flax is mostly raised on new irround. so that the crop may be free from weeds. The price paid will be the price of seed in Chicago, minus the freight, and the raisers will probably make a little more oft their crop than they could oft of I wheat The seed will be used at the oil : mill here. Competition Among Co:tractors. Veirv keen competition continues in Port land between building contractors, ac cording to an wp-ceuntry contractor, who thought he weald come to Portland and start in business. He says he bid on sev eral jobs at figures that he felt sure would take the contracts, leaving almost nothing for ht share after material and labor had been provided for "But the city fellows cut under me, after all." he said, "and I am positive they did so at an actual less." He will there fore continue business in the interior, where competition is not so distressingly keen. Dr. Wallace Ncttoco, of Providence.

Returning Nome ltes axe quite frequently met with now at the Portland hotels, and they are all Inclined to ridicule themselves more or less, as they desire to head off any "josh ing" from acquaintances. Quite a num ber have come down by sailing vessels, which have brought them at cheaper rates than the steamers would, some be ing willing to take passengers as low as $10, while the steamers charge IS5 to Seattle. The returning men are generally "strapped." no matter how well they were fixed on departing for the over rated beach. Attract ViBrroRS.

State Committeeman Vlrtne Says Bryan's Vote "Will Be Surprising:. J. W. Virtue, a member of the Demo cratic State Central Committee, is at the Imperial, preparing to take part In the committee meetlnr to be held at the hotel today. He says the object of the meet ing will be to arrange a plan of conduct ing the Oregon state campaign. In such a way that Bryan will carry Oregon in November. "Bryan Is going to surprise a good many people by the number of votes he will get," Mr. Virtue said, "and we are going to cut down tho Republican majority in Portland, too. We have not arranged to obtain speakers from abroad, but will content ourselves with home tal ent, as the Democrats have no sack to speak of, and the people have more con fidence In what their neighbors tell them, anyway. Speakers won't come from abroad unless they are paid, and every body is inclined to mistrust a hired speaker." Mr." Virtue does not expect a very full attendance at the committee meeting, but feels sure that Colonel Bob Miller will be on hand from Oregon City; Chairman Sheridan, from Roseburg; and M. A Mil ler will be here from Lebanon. A. N. Soils, the Jackson County member, Is al ready on hand. Mr. Virtue says he expects the Oregon Populists will largely vote with tho Demo crats this time, notwithstanding the fact that they have been ignored on the Dem ocratic Presidential ticket. "Wo have always treated the Populists well In Ore gon, when It came to dividing the nomi nations on the Fusion ticket," he said, "and so the Populists naturally belong -with the Democratic party." Mr. Virtue believes In keeping a stiff upper lip, but evidently has very little Idea of carrying Oregon or of electing Mr. Bryan. WHERE TO DINE. Our best advertisement Is satisfied pat rons.

Aug. 11, (To the Editor.) In your Issue of Sunday. July 1. there appeared an article entitled "Oregon Sol diers' Home," which stated that there is one acre at the Soldiers Home devoted to raising vegetables for the institu tion, which is untrue. As a matter of fact, there are 16 acres utilized for this purpose. The "Home" has 40 hogs and eight head of cows and four horses.

Allen Co.. ai First su AGAINST FOREIGN PESTS "WTXGED ASH FOUR-FOOTED CREA TURES" BARRED OUT. Department of Agriculture Explains the Lacey Act Some Harmless Birds Are Prohibited. The mongoose, the starling, tha Eng lish sparrow and the fruit bat or flying fox have been placed on a level with the Chinaman by the United States Con gress, which has passed an act absolutely prohibiting their Introduction Into this country- This act, known as the Lacey act, places the preservation, introduction and restoration of game and other'blrds, the exclusion of certain foreign ani mals and birds, the Tegulated Importa tion of others, the prohibition of inter state traffic in birds or game killed In violation of state laws, under the charge of the Department of Agriculture. This department has Issued a circular explain ing the act, . and stating that for the present all majtters connected with the Importation of animals or birds are in the hands of Dr. T. S. Palmer, assistant chief of the biological survey. No snake, elephant or tiger can be brought Into the United States without his sanction, either in a menagerie or otherwise. The Introduction of the ap parently much less dangerous animals and birds mentioned is positively pro hibited and permits for their Importation will not be Issued under any circum stances. The mongoose Is protected and favored In India ,1s often domesticated and kept about houses, as cats are here, on ac count of the warfare It wages on snakes, rats, lizards, etc. It Is akin to the Ich neumon, which was accounted sacred in ancient Egypt on account of its destruc tion of tho eggs and young of crocodiles, lizards, snakes, etc. In countries nhere climate and other circumstances are fa vorable and animals hostile to man In crease rapidly, It Is customary to Intro duce a natural foe to check this In crease. In this way the mongoose was Introduced Into Jamaica to destroy rats and snakes. It increased rapidly and soon practically exterminated the pests It preyed upon. t Then It preyed on fowls and birds and their eggs and young and In turn became a pest. Poisonous snakes, lizards, etc., are not so numerous In this country as In India or Egypt, so this Is no place for the mongoose, and he is not to be allowed to gain any foothold here. The flying fox or fruit bat Is an In, habitant of tropical countries and very destructive to bananas and other fruit. It might flourish in the South, but would not be likely to prosper In other parts of this country. . The British sparrow Is something of a nuisance from Its disagreeable notes, and pugnacious disposition, and it is charged with driving out better and more useful birds. It is pretty well established In most of the states of the Union and Is evidently here to stay. So far as can be Judged from their habits here 1n Portland they prefer the business streets to the quieter ones and appear to thrive best where no other bifd would attempt to live. If they could be exterminated it would be a good thing probably, but forbidding, their introduction into tho country now Is much like shutting the stablB door after the horse has been stolen. Just why the Agricultural Department has totally forbidden the introduction of the starling It Is difficult to Imagine. It nas Introduced into Portland some years ago with other European song birds andi has nested on some of the high build ings In this city and raised broods yearly ever since. Small flocks of starlings are often seen about the lake or slough at the north end of the city and are usually mistaken for blackbirds, which they re semble in many ways. The starling can be distinguished from the blackbird by small whitish-yellow spots on Its breast and back. It is a favorite In Europe, building on castles, churches and in the neighborhood of houses, and is often kept In cages as a pet. It can be taught to whistle tunes and even to speak a few words. All have read of "Sterne's Starl ing," which used to repeat Incessantly the phrase, "I can't get out, I can't get out." It Is a useful bird, destroying worms and Insects, and the only com plaint made against it Is that It, like the robin and many other useful birds, takes toll from the gardeners' cherries, grape3 and berries. The damage done In this way by such birds Is trilling in compari son with the good they do in destroying pests, and now-a-day Is never counted against them. The object of the Lacey act, to keep harmful birds and animals out of tho country, is a good one and will com mend Itself to the public. Other countries have suffered by the Importation of ap parently harmless creatures, as Australia, where thousands and hundreds of thou sands of dollars' of damage has been caused by the introduction of the rabbit, and Jamaica, where the mongoose cre ated a poultry famine. The law might be extended to Include plants and flshes, as a Scotch Immigrant by taking a pinch of thistle seed to New Zealand and planting it there, did more damage than he could undo In a thou sand lifetimes. Such a law might have prevented the introduction of the German carp into the waters of Oregon and so have pre vented the destruction of the wapato and the consequent disappearance of the canvasback duck from this section. TO THE TOP OF MT. HOOD. Governor Geer and Party Make the Ascent. Governor T. T. Geer Is the first Gover nor of Oregon who has climbed Mount Hood. The Governor and 11 guests left Portland August 1 for a little outing. Eight were on wheels and four, together with the baggage, were In a covered wagon, behind a strong, willing team. Outriggers were arranged upon which to place the wheels In case any of the riders got tired. The entire trip was made in easy stages. It took two days to go, one dayto rest, one day to climb the mountain, another day to rest, and two days in which to return, coming via the Ridge road. The entire trip was a round of pleasure. All appreciated everything to the fullest extent. The accommodations were good, and the fine belts of shady forests that stretch for miles and miles, together with the rugged bluffs and graceful streams, added much to the pleasure of the trip. The guests were as follows: Mrs. Isabelle Trulllnger Geer, Mrs. Min nie E. Perley, of San Francisco; Mrs. Theo. Downing, the Governor's daughter; Mrs Fannie Harrison, Mrs. Nellie C. Brush, Miss Margaret Fleming, Mr. and Mrs. S. C Spencer, W. A. Cleland, Lieu tenant Harry Young, L. L Hawkins. The morning of the climb some of the party had "cold feet." The rest, Mr. and Mrs. Geer, Mrs. Perley. Colonel Spencer, Lieutenant Young and L. L Hawkins, re inforced by H. O. Rogers, A. J. Bender, John Strout, George Prosser and daughter May. H. Jonts, O. C. Yocum as guide, making 13 in all, on August i made tho ascent. The conditions were perfect. Tho sea of fog. with Its numerous timbered isl ands, as viewed from the snow line, more than compensated for the pleasant fatigue of the climb. A half hour's rest was made at Crater Rock. "Hiking" along up the mountain, the big crevasse was found to be too wide and dangerous to get over, so a detour was made around the left end. The large rock on the left above the big crevasse was named by Mr. Yocum In honor of Mrs. Geer, "Geer Rock." On the top, Jefferson and the Three Sis ters were in fine view. But Rainier. Adams and St, Helens were enveloped in clouds. Otherwise the view was grand Mrs. Geer unfurled the American flag and three cheers were given for old Mount Hood. The new Mazama box was found, and each member wrote his name in tha reg ister. The old Alpine box, which was full of lce, was brought down, at the special request of Mr. Tocum, to be placed in the Free Museum, the records having been taken down to Cloud Cap Inn by H. D. Langelle last September. On the return trip a pleasant visit was made to the hatchery on Salmon River. The Gov ernor' was much interested in the old Barlow Road, his father having passed over it in 1S47. There were no accidents, and the cup of pleasure .was bubbling over. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CURES. ot In All Cases, but Neither Do the Doctors. LA FAYETTE, Or., Aug. 9. (TO the Editor.) Recent expressions in your col umns adverse to Christian Science lead me to ask the privilege of making a statement or two regarding the subject in the hope of correcting some of tho er roneous impressions existing Regarding its teaching and practice, a3 It Is be lieved It is these false conceptions of what Christian Science is supposed to be and not what It is that calls forth criti cism. Under editorial heading, "Slaugh ter of the Innocents," the terms recently applied to Christian Scientists are unjust in "extreme, and are no more warranted or founded on fact than the present false impressions of tho Chinese regarding the work of the Christian missionaries. Christian Science numbers among its adherents many thousands of honest and law-abiding citizens, and these people, being possessed of at leas): a moderate amount of intelligence and common sense, would not place dependence for health and happiness for themselves and families upon Christian Science, had they not proven for themselves its true worth. In many Instances Christian Science has given to the bed-ridden sufferer and chronic Invalid health and strength, where, after years of trial, materia med ica had failed, and because of this the Individual so healed is naturally more willing in time of physical distress' to trust himself or family to Its care than to the old methods, and In so doing he believes he has sought the very best means of cure. Reliance upon compe tent aid, rather than upon drugs, he has learned gives surer and better results, and It is his privilege to seek this aid. It Is tho earnest and honest opinion of many people that children should re ceive medical attention if not capable of choosing for themselves, which opinion is certainly worthy of respect, but may not some little consideration also be due those who are equally honest of convic tion and provide Christian Science treat ment for their little ones? While It Is not tho desire to discredit the earnest efforts of the medical pro fession, let me ask If the prevailing sys tems of medicine give evidence of such results as Inspire utmost confidence and promise sure relief? And should the fail ure to seek material aid constitute a crime against humanity if one has great er faith In the promises of the Great Physician to heal and save? In the diphtheria case cited by The Oregonian, granting that the child in question received systematic Christian Science treatment, which the mother has stated was not the case, was there any positive assurance had a physician been early summoned that the child would have recovered? And had the result been the same under the physician would he, too, have come under condemnation? The Oregonian records several other fatal cases of diphtheria at the time of the above occurrence, all presumaDly under medical care, and the mortuary report, as published for the month just past, gives an average death rate of nearly one child per day, and it-Is not known that any -were under aught but medical treat ment, and should these not have been saved were Mt Infallible? Christian Scientists have no quarrel with the med ical profession, but hold in high re gard those who are so earnestly striving to give relief to suffering humanity, and honor their noble purpose worthy of a system which affords more satisfying results. The quotation of today's paper from the Philadelphia Times, styling Chris tian Science a "humbug," asserts that Its "claims to cures are meaningless" and that Its teaching is not Christian. As to the latter, let me state that no class of religionists rely more Implicit ly upon the teachings of the founder of Christianity and, none strive more earn estly to follow his example through not only preaching the gospel, but by heal ing the sick. Christian Science receded just recogni tion as a Christian denomination at the World's Parliament of Religions, and was given warm welcome and glowing tribute by Its president, Hon. C. C. Bonney. As to its claims of healing the sick, there Is scarcely a village throughout this country that does not contain worthy citizens who have been recipients of tho healing power of Christian Science, and will willingly testify in Its behalf. To any one seeking facts regarding the results of Christian Science, I will gladly help In furnishing the names and addresses of persons In Portland and vicinity who (have been healed by It of Bright's dis ease, consumption, Indigestion, stomach trouble, rupture, nervous prostration, blood-poisoning, Insanity and many other diseases. To those who are qualified to Judgo through- Investigation of the results of Christian Science, who understand some what of Its principle, through benefits received, it Is Indeed no "humbug," but the truth of being of which the Master declared, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."
