John Hughes, an old-time printer, well known to all mem bers of the craft here and in Salem 25 years ago and more, but who has for a number of years been interested in pros pecting and mining In Baker County, is In the city on a visit. His brother came out from the Middle "West to see him been demonstrated on the streets, the . ?Vnis co"nt?'' and so r nugnes wooden block pavement does not wear . "tchf?U?hi8 Xm .d H??,," menced. It has been learned from expe rience that there are better floors for drilling than asphalt. Asphalt Is far bet- I ter than wooden planks, especially such as become sleek from much use or danc ing. But Colonel Everett believes j Nicholson block pavement would be the ideal floor for drills. The blocks should be Thoroughly treated before lavinir. and would then endure indefinitely. As has I much, even under heavy traffic, until de cay seta in. it treated before laving in the Armory, where it Is always perfectly dry, they would "endure for an age, as the light wear of soldiers marching would not be appreciable. It is not known yet whether the County Commls- u; eioners will adopt this suggestion, or even j whether permanent repairs will be made Fishermen Recetytno Pat. A large number of fishermen from the seining grounds on the lower river were in the city yesterday drawing their pay for the season's work. Many of them had quite a snug sum coming to them, and one (firm Interested in the canning business paid out over 5003 in cash to them. Glll netters generally had not so much money coming to them as usual, but a number of them received $300 to $500 each, and some of them more. The men say all fishing has been suspended, with the exception of one place, where some salmon are being caught for salting for Winter use. The run was about over when the season end ed, and the men were very glad to quit, and the horses were also glad. Hauling a seine and slopping about in the water all day long, day after day, is very hard work for man or beast, and the poor horses, who have no gum boots and do not even wear shoes, get the rheumatism. The fishing season has turned out better for all -concerned than was expected, even the wheels at the cascades taking their share. For Obstructing An Officer. P. Grant, and Steve Drummond, a barkeeper employed in Grant's sailor boarding house, were up for examination before United States Commissioner E. N. Deady yesterday on a charge of obstructing an officer la the service of a warrant. Depu ty United States Marshal S. L. Morse went to Grant's place several days ago to arrest four sailors ho had 'deserted from the British ship Cedarbank. The men. It is said, were eating their break fasts in the place at the time. Grant demanded to see the warrant for their arrest, and Drummond gave the men a pointer to sldp. Grant and Drummond wai-ed examination before Commissioner Deady, and were held to appear before the United States grand Jury In the sum of ?2C0 each The sailors were all cap tured finally and are now in jail to be turned over to the captain of the Cedar bank when he Is ready to sail.

The police department has been looking for Wilson since July 35. when he was reported as having stolen a blcvcle from Dr. Langworthy.

Marion County's Good Condition. E. F. Parkhurst, a well-known citizen of Salem, was at the Imperial yesterday. He was in Portland on business connect ed with the Elks' carnival, and he pre dicted the biggest crowd Portland ever saw would be In attendance here on that, occasion. "Marion County," he said, "Is In good shape to stand a short crop of wheat, as our hop crop Is fine, and our fruit promises well. Besides this, our people are taking more Interest In live stock and dairying than formerly, and as there Is an abundance of grass and hay, these Interests will go far toward making up the shortage in wheat." New Flagstaff. Postmaster Croas man has succeeded In perfecting arrange ments for having a new flagstaff placed on the cupola of the Postoffice, and the stagings for this work are now being erected.

PROFIT IN BELGIAN HARES it Is Xo Fnd, bat a Pure-Food. Money-Making? Industry. "The Belgian hare is no fad. and the raising of Belgian hares for market has become a legitimate enterprise, like the raising of cattle, sheep and hogs," said George W. McCoy yesterday. He has a 10-acre tract devoted to fhe raising of Belgian hares just cast of Montavllla, and says there are now over 300 on the place, and that in three months these will have increased to COO. "What do I raise them for? Why, to sell the meat. I can get 22 cents a pound In Portland for all I send In, and hare at 22 cents a pound Is cheaper eating than beef at 15 cents. The better class of res taurants and hotels take all I can raise, and would take more. "There is no waste about a Belgian hare. A pound of beef has on an average a quarter of a pound of bone and fat that cannot be eaten, and so this must be thrown away. "The hare costs less to raise than a chicken, because he eats clover and wheat hay, while the chicken will ea nothing but grain. The chicken eats ev erything dirty, but the hare will not touch any food that is foul. The .hare will produce four times more In the way of Increase than the hen In the course of a year, and do It at less than one tenth the cost. There Is where the profit Is all in favor of the hare, and against the chicken. A doe will produce 144 rab bits In 12 months. This beats the most prolific hen I ever heard of. "The Belgian hare business has been carried on extensively in New York State, and the supply of hare meat bas never yet come up to the demand. In the old countries Belgian hares have been raised for generations, and such cities as Lon dpn, Paris and Berlin consume hundreds of tons annually. The business Is only In Its Infancy around Portland, not more than 15 persons being engaged In raising the hares for the local food supply." The only trouble Mr. McCoy has Is with dogs, which will get In and kill the hares just for fun. unless fenced out. The up-to-date Belgian hare ranch will therefore have a dog-tight enclosure to guard against the marauding canines of the neighborhood. LEARNING WESTERN OREGON Archbishop Christie Xotes Greatest IV'eetl of Const Counties. Archlblshop Christie, who returned re centlj from quite an extended trip through Tillamook and Coos Counties, was surprised at the Immense resources of those regions In the way of lumber, dairying and fruit. "And yet," he said yesterday, "that magnificent country Is all tributary to San Francisco, although only a few miles from Portland. The ease with which a railroad could be built to connect the coast region with tills city Is apparent to any person -visiting that region from this side, There are several bright and busy towns In Coos County, and a railroad Is now being operated for a short distance toward Roseburg. This might be completed to a junction with the Southern Pacific at comparatively little expense and thus the coast people would have an outlet to Portland. "The Tillamook country could easily be tapped from some point on the West Side railroad and this would direct a large and growing trade from San Fran cisco to Portland, where it rightfully belongs."

B, Bundgchub, who j Up to the last minute before the spe cial meeting of the Common Council con vened yesterday no one could be found around the City Hall who would admit that he knew what the meeting had been called for. It was, however, soon seen that the object of the meeting was to consider legislation intended to "discour age" circuses and other "attractions" from showing in this city during the Street Fair. The matter was talked of a week or two ago, but was laid over, and the special meeting was called yesterday to take action in the matter. It would seem that the showmen to be discriminated against have " not been caught napping, as Clay Lambert, repre senting Rlngling Bros., of the "World's Greatest Shows," arrived here Sunday night and yesterday morning appeared at the City Hall and tendered JSOO to the Deputy City Treasurer, asking for a li cense for Rlngling Bros.' circus to give four performances here on the 6th and 7th of September. The Deputy Treasurer, acting, it Is said, under advice of City Attorney Long, declined to receive the money. Mr. Lambert then tendered the money to one of the clerks In the Audi tor's office, who, of course, had no power to accept it. It may be remarked incidentally that agents of circuses are not usually in the habit of paying for licenses so far In ad vance, and that of late years they have generally applied for a reduction of the license of $125 for each exhibition, and, if memory serves, have generally suc ceeded In having It cut in two, and that generally most of the Councilmen have had reserved seats, at the circus. But that has nothing to do with the case in hand. When the Council convened, Maybr Rowe in the chair and seven members present Glisan. Nealond, Holcomb and Walker absent Circus Agent Lambert was present, attended by Thomas O'Day as counsel. The flrs't thing that came up was an ordinance to amend an ordinance regulat ing the issuing of licenses so as to make It proylde that circuses of the first class shall pay a license of $5000 for each per formance, and circuses of the second and third classes a license of $4000 for each performance; circuses of the first class. With a menagerie, $6000 for each perform ance, and circuses of the second and third classes, with menagerie, a license of $5000 for each performance, and every side show a license of $500 per day. The license having been read twice, Mr. O'Day, counsel for Rlngling Bros., was granted permission to address the Coun cil. He said he appeared for Rlngling Bros., who expected to exhibit here September 6 and 7. He took it for granted that the Council did not wish to do a wrong to anybody. Rlngling Bros.' circus trav eled in some 65 cars, running In three or four sections. They have to make con tracts with railroad companies for trans portation month.'; In advance. They had made a contract with the Southern Pa cific ComDanv in November lnt. Thp.v had to go through Portland, whether they' exhibited here or not. If they could not exhibit here they would be put to great loss. Their representative had tendered the money for two days' licenses and its acceptance was refused. As he under stood It, the power to tax was not power to prohibit. He did not believe that the Council had power to prevent the Ring ling Bros, from exhibiting here; that is, no power to pass a prohibitory ordi nance. It had been suggested that Rlngling Bros.' show was headed for Portland on account of the Street Fair, and that the ordinance under consideration was In tended to protect this fair. He believed that the members of the Order of Elks generally would see that the circus would not Injure them, but would do them good. A circus could not successfully compete with a street fair, especially in the even ing performances. .Everybody desired to make the Street Fair a success. Tho circus was compelled to come here on September 6 and 7. They would like to make a change and come later, If possible, but they cannot. Mr. O'Day asked If there was some way that this ordinance might not be made to apply to their circus. If they have to stay here without-giving a performance they will suffer a loss. He did not know what they would do, but ho appealed to the Council as fair-minded men to do what was right in the matter. City Attorney Long said he had recom mended tho passage of this ordinance. It was perfectly legal, and he thought if 40,000 or 0,000 people were attracted here and the circus came and made $40,000 or $50,000 It was only right that they should pay some of it to the city. He did not consider the license prohibitory, nor was It so In the judgment of the Council. Bronaugh said he had expressed his dis approval of this measure, and he wished to explain his vote. He did not wish to oppose a measure which tho Council con sldered right, and, while this ordinance was opposed to his conscience, and what he believed to be right, he should vote with his colleagues for Its passage. The ordinance was read a third time, put on its final passage, and passed by a unani mous vote, and the Mayor at once at tached his signature to it. Other Business. An ordinance authorizing the committee on health and police to receive bids for the sale of the old crematory at Rocky Point, and to sell it to the highest bid der, was passed. An ordinance was Introduced by Merrill providing for appropriating $100 out of the general fund to pay. for 16 settees for the plaza blocks. An ordinance providing for the purchase of thesesettees was passed by the last council, but was vetoed by Mayor Storey. Mr, Merrill urged that, now that the Thompson fountain was about completed, It was very desirable to have more settees on the plaza blocks, and there was an opportunity to secure them very cheaply now. Masters suggested that as there was to be a Park Commission before long, and a special tax was to be levied for beau tifying the parks, under their direction, It would be as well to leave it for them to look after these settees. He did not favor taking anything out of the general fund for this purpose. On motion, the ordinance was referred to the committee on parks and public property. An ordinance was passed authorizing the license committee to contract for license tags for the quarter beginning October 1 and for the year 1801. An ordinance was Introduced by Sher rett allowing .the riding of bicycles be tween 6 and 9 A. M. and 4 and 7 P. M. on the west side of Mllwaukle street, from Holgate to Franklin street. It was explained that owing to the bad condition of that street worklngmen had been granted the privilege of riding on the east sidewalk during the hours named. The Intention of this ordinance was to change to the west stde of the street, where there are no stores, and to ex tend the privilege five blocks. This expla nation being satisfactory, the ordinance was passed. A resolution directing publication of no tice for the Improvement of Sixth street from Morrison to Salmon was introduced. Branch objected to It on the ground that the improvement in front of the Post office would have to be paid for out of the general fund, and said the street "was In fairly good condition. Referred to the street committee. was arrested for threatening the life of a street-car conductor Saturday night, says: "Bundschuh is not an ex-convict. He came to Salem from Portland, where his mother resides, many years ago, and worked at the state penitentiary, being a foreman; or one of the master workmen in the Northwestern Stove Works at that Institution. He was confined in the in sane asylum Just before his return to Portland, and, -If I am not mistaken, has been there before. "His Is a sad' case. When in hls right mind he is a fine fellow, intelligent, sober, industrious and of ability in his trade. He is greatly thought of by many here, who often speak, of his affliction with sorrow. When unbalanced he is danger ous indeed; his strength and quickness and absolute fearlessness make him a veritable madman. "Dr. Josephl, 'of your city, is acquaint ed with his case a 'very interesting one psychologically. He deserves kindness and the best of care." D ' Special Inducements to Keep Our Experts Busy During Midsummer. AS HIS OWN LAWYER. Dixon, the Real Estate Swindler, Conducted His Defense. Mrs. Mattie Frost and George Dixon, alias Dana, arrested on the charge of forging a deed to property belonging to Henry Wilson, deceased, had their pre liminary examination before Judge Cam eron yesterday, and were bound over to the grand jury. Mrs. Frost, through her attorney, Henry E. McGinn, waived ex amination, and was placed under $2000 bonds. Dixon, on the other hand, demanded a hearing, and conducted his own case, stating to the court that he was an at-torney-at-law. He cleverly cross-examined the following witnesses called by tho prosecution: Mark Schlussel and Julius Adler, the real estate men; W. C. Puffer, Notary Public; S. C. Beach, County Re corder; Paul Hulter, John Sexton and J. J. Curtin, messenger boys and Walter J. White, who made the Henry Acker man seal. Dixon was identified by the messenger boys as the man who had received tho deeds and the seal, and their evidence was damaging. Dixon, in his cross-examining, endeavored to bring out evidence of complicity between Mark Schlussel and Mrs. Frost. He was bound over to tho grand jury in the sum of $2500. ARRESTED HIS CONFEDERATE. Dixon's Pal Falls Into tbc Hands of Seattle Police. Chief of Police McLauchlan received the interesting news last evening by tele phone from Chief of Police Reed, of Seat tle, that a confederate of George Dixon, alias Dana, had been arrested in Seattle, At the same time Chief Reed confirmed the belief of the Portland police that Dixon had been working in Seattle, and was the man engaged In a similar real estate swindle, with tho object of selling a piece of property belonging to a Port land woman, Mrs. Blinn. This scheme was discovered through the publicity given to the transfer, and the news of the attempted fraud reached A. B. Jack son, of Portland, Mrs. Blinn's agent, who took steps to have the conspirators ar rested. , , Regarding this phase of the case, Chief of Police McLauchlan said last evening: "I received the news this evening of the arrest' of Sherrlt, the confederate of Dixon in the attempt to sell a piece of property belonging to Mrs. BUnn, of Portland. Their scheme was the same that was worked successfully in Portland. They forged a deed to tho property, and were just completing the sale, when a notice of the transfer of the property appeared in a Seattle paper. Friends of Mrs. Blinn noticed this, and the news of the sale reached her agent, Mr. Jackson, of Portland, who put the Seattle police in possession of the facts, and they start ed to work on tho case. "Our man Dixon escaped arrest from the officers by jumping out of a window. He then evaded the Seattle officers ani came to Portland, and had another deal perpetrated before they got track of him. Reading the accounts In The Oregonlan, Chief Reed made this inquiry and found we had his man. He told me if we could not convict him down here, to send him up to Seattle, where he thought they had a clear case of forgery against him."
