NORTH BEACH ROAD Reported O. R. & N. Co. Has Bought llwaco Railway. NEGOTIATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE IKm-ever, President Mohler Denies' That Tliere Hai Been a Sale of the Property. LONG BEACH, Wash., Aug. 19. It has been stated, on what The Oregonian's correspondent considers undisputed auth ority, that the Oregon Railroad & Naviga tion Company has bought the llwaco Rail way & Navigation Company's line, run ning from llwaco to Nahcotta. President Mohler, of the O. R. & N., when seen last evening with reference to the foregoing telegram, denied that a tale had been made to his company of the property mentioned. It Is known that negotiations have been going on recently between the two cor porations looking to a purchase of the ll waco road by the O. R. & N.. but M. Mbhler's positive statement shows that they have not yet reached a final stage. It will not be surprising if the report ihall be confirmed by later events. WILL COACH STANFORD. Famous Football Flayer, F. H. Yost, on Ilia "VVny to Californin. F H. Yost, of Morgantown, Va,, the well-known football-player and coach, who 1ms been choscn to direct the Stan ford X'nlversUy footrll team during the coming season, spent a day In Portland bofore leaving yesterday for California. Yost played on the famous La Fayette College eleven that defeated the Univer sity of Pennsylvania team, captained by Wharton, by a score of 6 to 4, in ISM. Yost played while In college both the tackle and halfback positions, and after graduation played on the all-star team lth Brooke of Pennsylvania, Lee of Princeton, HeMeflnser of Yale, and other famous players. In choosing a coach. Manager Glldcrslecve, of Stanford, can vassed the entire Eastern held, and his Choice fell on Yost, who had won reputa tion not only &s a player, but as a coach, never having coached a losing team dur ing three years' experience. In 1S97 he coached tho WeMeyan team, that de feated Michigan, In !! tho Nebraska team, that won the championship of the Middle West, and last year tho Kansas team, that scored 315 points to 30 of their opponents, 30 of these being kicked in the Nebraska game, won by Kansas, 3C-30, by a former pupils of Yost. Yont is a typical Southerner, nnd has many of the quaint mannerisms of the South. Ho has a fine physique, weighs 900 pounds, stands six feet high, and Is a tjpe of tho American athlete, strong. alert and aggressive. Football he loves ' as a sport, and tho time he devotes to coaching is taken from his bubicss in th Virginia cool lands as his vacations. Speaking of the Stanford team and its prospects, he said yesterday: "'Of course, I have not seen my material yet, but I have kept track of the men through the manager, and feel confident that we have an even chance of winning. Last year Stanford had a, green team, and California a veteran organisation. This year California will lose half of Its experienced players, and Stanford will have back almost all of last year's team. flo the obances seem to bo equal for win ning. "You say there Is a report of Slaker, the Chicago fullback, and Cunha, the Yale center, entering Stanford? Well. they are good men, and would strengthen a team wonderfully. Slaker was the bst man back of an Eastern line last year, playing fullback on the aggressive and halfback on the defense. He Is a wonderful player. And Cunha well, you can have no Idea how big that man is until you see him. Ho must weigh over 3S0, and he is twice as broad as I am. 1 saw him catch on the Yale baseball team, and he is quick for a big man, too. One of my Kansas men. Tucker, half back and tackle, has come to the Coast this Summer, and will ener Stanford. EHie Is a. fast man, and when he gets start ed ha Is ono of the hardest men to stop I ever saw. "But I am not counting on this nertf material. It may come and It may not. I will be content to take last year's team, and get it started on the winning track. New men always plav better their second year, &rd we will build up a I t. i gritty team. September 1 the men back of the line will commence work handling j and punting tho ball. The men back of j the line will be relied on mostly to win 1 the preliminary games. There will be ! no hard work for a month. In this mild climate the men cannot do much hard work In the beginning of tho season, 4 I will aave them until the cold weather ets in for hard lino work. "In the early part of the season wo play the Reliance team a serie of pre liminary practice matches, and toward the end we will take on heavier ana harder games with tho teams of the Uni versities of Oregon and Nevada.

Good practice for the Intercollegiate match Is what we want. "I have never coached a team twice, and have always coached teams that lost the year before. There is no honor in coaching a veteran team to victory, and that is the reason I am going to Stanford, to help build up a victorious team again." Yost is a man of quiet determination, and his indomitable spirit infused into the teams he has coached is undoubtedly responsible for .uls victories. Dr. W. H. Murphy, a Yale graduate, broker of "Mike" Murphy, the famous Yale trainer, will train the Stanford team again this year, and "Billy" McLeod, formerly of the Multnomah Club, has also been engaged as assistant trainer, and will begin his work at Stanford Sep tember 1. The cost of the Stanford train inc force alone amounts In salaries to $S500. ANXIOUS TO KNOW RESULT. Sheeparroiver "Would Sell Out It He ICneiv Bryan "Would "Win. George Young, formerly proprietor of the Occidental Hotel, but for a number of years engaged In woolgrowlng near the present town of Shanlko, was encoun tered by a representative of Tho Orego nlan on an eastbound train of the O. R. & N. Co. a day or two ago, bound for home, looking rugged and hearty. He had been spending a few days In Port land, renewing his acquaintance with old friends. He said he was astonished to find so many of them looking old, and had advised them to get out on a sheep ranch and grow young again, as he had. Tho great desire of his life was to learn in advance what was going to be the result of the coming Presidential elec tion. He was not so much Interested in who might be elected as in knowing beforehand who was to be the successful candidate. If Bryan was to be elected he wanted to know It in tlmo to convert h.8 sheep into gold dollars, and then he would put the money Into an old stock ing and bury it, and wait for the clouds to roll by. Speaking of sheep Mr. Hughes said Oregon and the "Willamette Valley, es pecially, was peculiarly adapted to grow Ing sheep. There used to be a good many sheep kept In the Willamette Val ley, and everybody was prosperous. Now there were but few sheep kept here. and the ground had been cropped to wheat In many places for 40 years, and the result Tas a partial failure of the wheat crop. Tho farmers in the Wil lamette would have to go back to keep ing a reasonable number of sheep. They killed out weeds, and fertilized the ground, and put it in condition for rais ing good crops. He told of the trouble and expense he had been to In killing off coyotes, and blamed the selfishness of Portland peo ple, who opposed In the Legislature the paying of a bounty on coyote scalps. He said that the city was dependent on the country, and vice versa, and that because there were no coyotes in Portland and no sheep and chickens there for them to kill, was no just reason for the citi zens to object to a slight tax to provide a fund to aid in exterminating coyotes. Mr. Young next branched off on the subject of pasturing sheep in the forest reserves, and asserted that this was -the only salvation for our forests. "Before the sheep were turned into the forests," said Mr. Young, "the country was cov ered with a pall of smoke from forest fires all Summer. Since they have been gtf&zlng in the forests there have been no fires, and consequently no smoke, and the people in Portland and the Willam ette Valley are able to see the snow peaks all Summer long." Forest rangers and many others have a different theory In regard to the com parative absence of smoke of late years, and will not be likely to accept Mr. Young's theory, and will say that a man's ideas are likely to be influenced by his own interests. NOT ALL FOR BRYAN. Colorado Traveling Man Says 189C Majority Is Likely to Be "Wiped Out. George Todd Williams, Jr., president of the Travelers' Association of Colorado, Is at the Portland, from Denver, He expects to enter the employ of Allen & Lewis, of thlsclty, for the purpose of pushing the Arm's "business In the North west. Mr. Williams says his state as sociation now numbers 4 members, but he denies the report that they are all going to vote for Bryan. The Democratic story that McKInley's Administration has been hurtful to traveling men, he calls bosh, as there are more drummers on the road now than ever before. Even Colo rado will show a big gain for McKInley In November, and the 140,000 majority it gav Bryan in ISM stands a good show of being wiped out. Colorado people have bejjan to think that Bryan has gone back on the silver proposition, as he has been ignoring it on recent speeches. Many silver mines are being worked at a profit In Colorado, though the price of the xiHt&l has not gone up. and the gold output has grown to be enormous. CHEAP RATES EAST Via Oregon Short Line R. R.

Ran Array From, the Disease on Shore Only to Get Into It Aboard Ship. Captain Van Auken can shake hands with the cartoonist who made the picture In yesterday morning' s Oregonlan. "Thera Is no place like home." He knows what that means himself. He has Just arrived from Nome City at his home at Woodlawn, and In an exhausted and rather dilapidated condition, after one of the most fearful experiences that any one can have, and,yet be able to get home again, In spite of it all. "Van Auken went to Nome City, with the rush, but soon saw that 'It was a fake, and made tip his mind to got away as soon as possible. At that time there were ISO cases of smallpox at Nome City, and no one was allowed to leave. The captain, however, with others, determined that they would get away. Bo the master of a lighter represented to them that he could take them out to a fine ship, that would bring them through to Seattle in safety. So one night they made a Bneak out of Nome on the lighter. There were TO In the party. When they got to the ship they found that It was nothing but a little sailing craft, with no accommo dat'ons whatever. There were not even bunks provided. They were dumped down in the hold in a-buhch. Then they started for Dutch Harbor, a distance of iOO miles. It was found that only three barrels of fresh water was aboard for the 70 passengers, and they had to get more, which was accomplished after much trouble. But the worst of It all was that smallpox broke out among the crowded passengers in the cramped quar ters None of the passengers had been uttacked until the craft had proceeded some distance toward Dutch Harbor. At Dutch Harbor they were quarantined a long time The condition on the little craft all this time was fearful, and the passengc.it suffered, but finally the vessel was allowea to proceed to Seattle. Cap tain Van Auken is indeed very glad that he Is homo and as well as he is after his hard experience in the sailing vessel, cooped up witli the smallpox, with little water to drink and hardly room In which to sleep, but there are many hundreds at Nome City who would be glad to un dergo even these conditions in order to reach their homes once more. Submersed Gas Main. Considerable progress has been made on the preliminary work of laying a sub merged gas main across the Willamette on East Ankeny street to supply the East Side with gas from the West Side works. The first work Is under way from the end of the long elevated roadway on East Ankeny street. Here piles have been driven for tome distance out from the roudway, and tho trench Is now be ing excavated for that distance. The place where tho main will be put down Is only one olock bouth from the Burn side bridge. The main will bo 12 inches in diameter, and ample to supply the Bast Side, and do away with the pipe on Burnside bridge. At this point tho water is very deep, and the work under the water is lookeo. after by S. W. Bailey and George A Tllden, two divers, and they put In about three hours each day. About 12 feet of main will be required to cross the river with. The work of laying this main is necessarily slow, and will take several months, ana the cost will be about $20,000. A considerable por tion of the wnrk will have to be done under the water. The trench Jn which the pipe will rest will be about three feet, and tho main will rest on piles sawed off well down. The Interruption in the gas supply by means of the pipe over Burnside bridge will be prevented by this new main Asked for Mr. Mulligan's Return. At the laat quarterly meeting of the official board of the Mount Tabor Metho dist Church, it was unanimously voted to ask the bishop at the coming confer ence to return Rev. A. S. Mulligan to that charge for another year. Mr. Mul ligan is now finishing up his fourth year, and the congregation is not anxious that he should be replaced with a new man; but, on the contrary, is desirous that he be returned. Since he has been pas tor all Indebtedness has been wiped out and the property stands clear. In ad dition to this, the church and parsonage have been improved. It is estimated that about ?200 a year has been expended in improvements on the property. The church has been overhauled and repaint ed and new carpets put down. Also the parsonage has been put in good con dition. Tie salary of the pastor has been increased. Xevr Street Improvements. The preliminaries- ior the Improvement of Dast Taylor street, from East Six teenth to East Thirty-fourth streets, are progressing satisfactorily.

In Stephens Addition the Improvement of East Grant street, from East Seventh to TEast 'Twelfth, is considered assured. The preliminaries are working out. The Improvement of East Twelfth, between Hawthorne avenue and Clinton street, is being advocated. Oonser Chnsiner Fire Apparatus. District-Engineer Holden calls attention to the danger of wheelmen chasing after the fire apparatus when there is an alarm of, fire. At 'the last alarm on the East Side there was the usual rush southward on Grand avenue. A whole cavalcade on bicycles started after the hose wagon from No. 7's engine-house. Then came the engine and the big truck and chem ical from Holladay, close after the first apparatus. Several wheelmen narrow ly escaped being run over. The district engineer warns wheelmen to be careful and keep out of the -way. In case of accident the firemen would be blamed for carelessness. East Side Notes. The funeral of John C.

Portland Management Made & Mis take In Not Advertising Re vival of Antiquity. "What is this bloomln fatr aboutr asked a returned Portlonder yesterday. "To turn you out; to turn you out!" answered one of the managers of the project, who Is always eager to satisfy all Inquiries and to advance the Inter ests of the carnival by sacrificing his own business and by devoting all his energies to the mass of details connected with sucli a large undertaking. "And the fair will do it," he continued. "It will turn out all the people of the state for a holiday. -From far and near they will come to Portland, and here they will be amused and entertained, and some of the wrinkles in their brains the result of hard work without rest and recreation- will be creased out, and when they return to their homes, life will take on a new zest, and they will be glad they came." "Now you're talking, and that's no mis take," broke In the first speaker. "Seven years ago, the time of the World's Fair at Chicago, I was involved In some heavy speculations which kept me guessing for three months. I vowed, If I ever got out alive, that I would take a two months' trip to Chicago, and I did. When I re turned I had gained 20 pounds, and tne color of life was red again." "Yes," said a leading Portland lawyer, joining in the conversation, "It's like getting a change of venue to spend a few days out of one's ordinary haunts, and the street-fair Idea is an excellent one. But don't flatter yourself, my managerial friend, that the Idea is a new one. It has the merit of antiquity, and street fairs and street pageants were quite the thing in ancient times. In the extreme limits of Russia trading by street fairs is quite popular today, and the same Is true in other European countries. While the object of the Portland fair is almost entirely for pleasure-giving, yet it incor porates theancient custom of having on exhibit wares.and the Industrial products of the state. This fact, comomed with the old custom of small shows and exhi bitions to follow the commercial fairs, proves that the modern street fair and carnival Is a direct evolution of the ancient custom for tradesmen to drift from one) city to another to display their goods at stated times, which were celebrated as holidays and carnival pe riods." "We should have had that on our bills," said the manager. "Think how it would havelopked! 'Ancient Street Fair Revived and Surpassed!' And they will be sur passed. Look at these buildings how they have sprung up like mushrooms, and at our long list of attractions. I can see It all now as If it were finished: A stroll through the stately Morrison-street arcn, a glance at the garden of the Elks, with Its spraying fountain, a survey of the exhibit booths on each side of the street, and then a pause at the Temple of Music, bridging over Washington street, tnr a brief rest in which to listen to sprightly music and to watch the passing throng. Then we will go to the women's build ing, decorated by artistic feminine hands, with exhibits of women's handiwork, there see Interesting and unique articles ,4n the process of manufacture, and an rtoom full of the leading works of art in tne city. The manufacturers building comes next, full of articles manufactured in Oregon, serving as a visible object lesson In the encouragement of home in dustries. The grain palace will be some thing every state could not erect, and those who see it will not wonder at the Paris award to the O. R. & N. Co's grain exhibit. And the Midway, with Its star attractions, 'imported at great expense,' 'something to interest both young and old' well, it will be immense." As hie listeners started off, the carnival man shouted: "Remember tne joint meet ing Monday night of the executive com mittee and the hospitality committee. So long.'.' Bryan and Tyranny.

The Chicago platform of 1896, which Bryan wrote In great part, and which has been explicitly reaffirmed by the platform of this year, repudiates cl;il-servlce refo m.

Here la a Description on the Request of a Sabscrlber. PORTLAND, Aug. 18. (To the Editor.) Will you please give a description in the columns of The Oregoman of the famous clock in the cathedral at Strasburg? H. COBLENTZ. Curtis Guild, In "Over the Ocean, or Sights and Scenes in Foreign Lands," gives the following description of this clock: "The great astronomical clock here Is a curious and wonderful piece of mechan ism. Fancy a structure 25 or 30 feet high, and 12 or 15 broad at the base, having on either side two others of nearly equal height, one being the masonic flight of winding stairs, surmounted by live small emblematical Corinthian pillars, and the other a Gothic pillar, its panel ings enriched with figures. "Placed directly In front of the base of the clock Is a celestial globe, which by means of the clockwork, shows the precession of the equinoxes, olar and lunar equations for calculating geocen tric ascension and declination of the sun and moon at true times ana places. Then In the base is an orrery after the Coper nlcan system, by which the mean tropi cal revolution of each of the planet3, vis ible to the naked eye, is shown. Then comes an eccleastlcal calendar, a sort of perpetual almanac, Indicating holy, feast and fast days. Above ana about 10 feet from the floor, and just beneath the clock dial is a opening with a platform In front, upon which come rorth figures representing each day of the week, as Apollo on Tuesday, Diana on Monday, etc. Thus a figure in a chariot, repre senting the day, appeared at the entrance In the morning, it had reached the cen ter In full view by noon, and drove grad ually out of sight at the close of day. On either side of the clock dial sat two Cupids, the size of a S-year-old child, one holding a bell and hammer, with which it strikes the hours and quarters, and the other an hour-glass which it re verses each hour. Above is another dial, with the signs of the Zodiac; above that a figure of the moon, showing its differ ent phases, also put In motion by the clockwork, and still above this, two sets of automaton figures, whicn appear only at 12 o'clock, at which time there is always a crowd gathered to witness their performance. "We viewed this wondrous piece of me chanism for an hour, and witnessed the following movements: At quarter past 11 the Cupid near the dial struck one; then from one of the upper compart ments ran forth the figure of a little chlld'wlth a wand and as ne passed he Mew Fall Clothing For tho Xorthcamlajr season "vra cars fathered the choicest productions of tha est Eastern manufacturers.

Round whirl the wheels of time and the second quarter chimes; but this time It Is a Youth that passes and taps the bell with his shepherd's staff twined with flowers. Again we reach the third quarter, an65 Manhood strides forth, the mailed war rior, and smites the sonorous bell,, era h'e leaves the scene, three sounding blowa with his trenchant weapon the third quarter. Once more the hands tremble on the point of noon; the fourth quar ter is here, and Old Age, a feeble, bent figure, hobbles out, pauses wearily at the bell, raises a crutch, taps four Btrokes and totter? away out of sight 'lost sceno of all, when, as a finale, the skeleton figure of Death, before wnom all tho four have passed, slowly raises his baton, which the spectator now discovers to be a human bone, and solemnly strikes tho hour of 12 upon the bell. While he Is en gaged in this act a set of figures above him, representing the 12 apostles, pass In procession before the Savior, who blesses each as they pause before him in turn, and a chanticleer, the size of life, perched upon the pinnacle of one of the side structures, lifts up his voice in three rousing crows, with outstretched necJc and flapping wings, while the Cupid on one side of the dial reverses the hour glass for the sand to flow back, and tho other also strikes the hour with his bell and hammer." THE PORTO RICAN QUESTION Will Cat a Considerable Figure la the Coming: Elections. WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. In spite of tho assertions so loudly proclaimed that the Porto Rlcan tariff would soon be a back number, and not cut any figure In the campaign. It Is very plain that It has given some members of Congress who supported It a very serious time. One of the things that make Inaiana doubtful Is the policy of the present Administra tion: on the Porto Rican question. A number of Representatives rrom Minne sota who dallied with the Porto Rlcan tariff In spite of the fact that the Sena tors voted the other way, are al30 in hard straits. This Porto Rlcan tariff will not stay under. It refuses to De hurled. Just about the time that the Republicans hoped It was all forgotten, reports came from Porto Rico of the very hard timea that exi3t there, and wnetner it is duo to the tariff or not, the public mind reverts to the fact that here was an Island which the United States annexed and refused to give It all the protection afforded by the United States laws. This also gave the Democrats an opportunity to hanff up the word -imperialism" as one of the dangerous things of the Re publican party. That 15 jper cent tariff on Porto Rlcan goods has proved a dan gerous experiment. The Poptrfarlty of the name BUDWEISER is such as to tpmnt manv brewers to attemot its use on inferior brands. The U. S. courts have accorded that name exclusively to tho Anheuser-Busch BUDWEISER brand. W. J. VAN SCHUTVER & CO., Portland, wholesale dealer
