THE SlORXIXG OBEGOKIAX, SATUEDAT, AUGUST 25, 1900. CrY NEWS IN BRIEF Amasenenti TobIcXxC JUNKY'S WTXTER GAKDEN (Talrt wJ Irrison street!) Concert slrhtlr. Jwght "With thb Oregon Bote. F. S. UTerty, for many years one of Port laH's popular young men, arrived In the cf last evening from Baa Francisco, ac enpanied by his wife and young son. 3t Lafferty and irUe are en route to Kcw "3tl, -where he will Join the Modjeska enpany for the season. In former years . Lafferty -was connected -with the iuis James Company, with which he ipearcd two seasons. Since leaving Port ed he has passed through many and fried experiences. He took from Oregon certificate showing that he passed a (cccssful examination before the Su eme Court as c. lawyer. Several years I the office of W. TV. Cotton thoroughly Mnillarlzed Wm -with the legal depart ment of a railroad business. Following hat work, Mr. Lafferty was for a con Iderable period associated with C H. (boles as court reporter in the Circuit Jourts of Portland. Then came two sea ons In legitimate drama -with Irouis tames, which was followed by a year In Mexican railway offices. For another fear Mr. Lafferty -was night editor of pno of the prominent dally newspapers of the City of Mexico, -which position hp Jhcld when the Spanish War broke out. Then he hurried to San Francisco, arriv ing there in time to meet the Second Oregon Volunteers about to embark for ihe Philippines. "Without a moment's hes itation ho enlisted, and was promoted to the position of ordnance sergeant of the regiment. "When tho regiment took the tleld in Luzon he went into the ranks and carried his gun through every campaign of tho Oregon men. Among the soldiers he was always a favorite, and possessed more knowledge of military affairs than he ordinary officer. Upon muster-out at San Francisco Mr. Lafferty entered the service of the Southern Pacific Company, which he has Just left to All the engage ment with Modjeska. Ho and Mrs. Laf ferty are the guests of George L. Baker and wife, at Seventeenth and Everett streets, whero they will remain until Tuesday. Retired After 30 Years SEitvicE-The "War Department yesterday retired from active service Sergeant Lassamnick, tho Veteran of tho Army, who has been a familiar figure at the recruiting office of Captain H. C, Cabell for tho past two years. The Sergeant has earned his hon ors. He made application for retirement a few weeks past, upon reaching tho 30th year of his service In the Army. That long period of active service was spent in 2.11 kinds of work. Indian campaigns, duty in Alaska, frontier life and the julet of garrison duty were crowned by a campaign In the Philippines with the fourteenth Infantry. That regiment was in tho first expeditionary force sent to Admiral Dewey's aid. It participated In tho attack against the Spanish lntrench zncnts August 33, and was In the hottest of the fighting when the Filipinos broke out. The aged veteran remained on duty there for nearly a year, but was com pelled to return to a more temperate cll snate, when he was attached to the Port land recruiting office, where he has since been on duty. "Old Lass," as the Ser geant is popularly known among the sol diers, hps a host of friends who wish him a happy and quiet old age. "WrA Speak Twice Tomorrow. Grace Mriodlst and the Taylor-Street Meth odist Churches are booked for large aud iences tomorrow when the great temper ance apostle, Francis Murphy, speaks. It is not alone the pleasant memories of his visit nine years ago that attract people to the Sunday meetings. Mr. Murphy is pronounced one of the greatest and most effective temperance speakers of tho age. Ho is not a prohibitionist. "You can't legislate people Into good habits," he says. "You can't make people good by force. That system has been tried and found wanting." This Is one of the car dinal principles upon which the great tem perance advocate labors. No subject has been announced for cither the morning or evening lecture. In fact, Mr. Murphy Is hardly that formal. "I will talk on the brotherhood of man," said he, when asked his theme. "My gospel Is good will to all, malice to none." And so his lectures run. His sentences are terse, laconic and wonderfully to the point. In this manner he reaches his audiences. He appeals to their common sense, their unbiased rea soning power, and talks as one brother would talk to another. Changs ik Seaside Schedule: of steam er T. J. Potter.

A very beautiful and Interesting addition has been made to the nermanent exhibit Of Oregon resources In the shape of a collection of 240 varieties of grasses ar ranged for exhibition by Professor Leck enby. They were collected by him on the O. R. & N. Ca'a experimental farm rear "Walla "Walla, and are neatly and attractively arranged on lattice frames suspended on the wall. Such an exhibit can hardly be ocualed anywhere else in the country. The samples of brome grass attract much attention, as It is supposed by many to be the coming grass for cer tain sections of this region. BflLDINO AT WlL,TA.METTB HEIGHTS.

Any one who h3s seen a shiDment of Chinese drug3 land medicines passing through the hand of the customs Inspectors and has in haled the odors of dried snakes and liz ards, embalmed skunks, etc., is not likely to call on a Chinese physician when his stomach or liver gets out of order. There are occasions, however, when, as a drown ing man will catch at a straw, the af flicted will resort to a Chinese doctor. A short time ago a man in this city met with an accident, in which his arm was Injured. Blood poisoning set in, and the doctors advised amputation of the arm as tho only means of saving the patient's life. After receiving tho same recom mendation from several doctors, he called on a Chinese physician, who undertook to save the arm. He dug a hole In the ground and In it burled a rooster, leaving only the head and neck above ground. He treated the arm and told the patient that If the rooster lived three days the arm would be saved, but if the fowl died, he was a gone sucker. The fowl lived, and tho patient saved his arm and his life. He Is not exactly clear as to the part tha rooster played in the matter; neither is the rooster, but ho is not worrying about that. To be alive and havo both arms is all he cares about. Athletes to Astoria. Notwlthstand-' lng tho disheartening prospect as regards tho weather conditions for today, Mult nomah Club Is sending its string of ath letes to competo In the field games at Astoria. The wire was kept working last night by Captain Kerrigan, the re sult being his decision to take his ath letes and run chances on the weather clearing. Eight men will carry Mult nomah's colors today, competing against the California and Washington represent atives. Watkins, Stiles and Tim "Wood are already in Astoria, while Kerrigan, Blumenthal, Murphy, Kleeman and Dam masch will go on this morning's train, accompanied by tho indefatigable trainer, Jack King. As no weight events are on Astoria's programme, Abendroth and San ders are out of it. Hester Is unable to compete on account of his" recent Illness, while George Gammle and Ted Wood are disappointed In not being able to accom pany the team on account of their bus iness. Trainer King and Captain Kerri gan expressed confidence in their team, and while neither made any rash predic tions. King said confidently that should the weather be any way moderate that the high-jump record would bo broken by Kerrigan. Pocket Picked. Last night while boarding the Portland train at Astoria Edward Holman's pocket was picked by some one who jostled him In the crowd. Mr. Holman and his son Guy followed the thief Into the depot and collared him, together with a pal, who was in waiting there. They protested their innocence, and while they were parleying one of them slipped into the toilet-room and threw tho purse on tho floor, where Mr. Holman recovered it. Ho had been drenched to the skin by a heavy rain, had his family with him, did not wish to be detained, nor be bothered by returning to Astoria as a "witness, so he allowed the thieves to go. Meant No Offense. The very tall "sandwich" man against whom com plaints were made for offending women called at The Oregonlan office yesterday to explain. He declares that he never in tentionally offended any woman in Port land or elsewhere. He admits that very frequently his great height and grotesque costume provoke smiles from strangers, and that he has returned such smiles; but beyond that he did not go. For the Monument Fund. A number of boys and girls of the East Side gave an entertainment at the home of Mrs. Dunstan. H3 East Eleventh street, Wed nesday afternoon. A neat sum was real ized, considering the admission was only 5 cents for adults and 1 cent for children. Tho proceeds will go to tho monument fund. The three little girls who had charge are: Caroline Dunstan, May Mur phy and Jennie Knox. Too Bust Now. A report, apparently based on fact, was circulated yesterday that the presidency of the First National Bank of Portland had been offered 10 Levi Ankeny, of Walla Walla. Answering a telegraphic inquiry, Mr. Ankeny said: "I have not been offered the presidency of the First National Bank of Portland. It is a great big institution, and there was a time I would have liked the position, but I am too busy now." Midsummer EntertaInment. Upchurch Lodge, No. 326, A. O. U.

Edward Gratton, who was arrested for stealing a bicycle and brought back to Portland by Detec tive Barry from Oregon City, gave tho name of Roy Hastings when taken In cus tody. Yesterday the real Roy Hastings showed up considerably aggrieved that he had been reported as arrested. Gratton pleaded guilty in the Municipal Court yes terday, and will be sentenced today.

Drunken Father Strikes Mr. Gardner, of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society. J. L. Mclrvln was found guilty in the Municipal Court yesterday of assault and battery upon Superintendent William T. Gardner, of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, and was fined $20. The assault was committed In the office of tho City Board of Charities where Mc Irvfh had gone with his brother to "de mand the release of his two daughters from the custody of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society. According to Superintendent Gardner's testimony, Mclrvln was then under tho Influence of liquor. After hear ing his request, Mr. Gardner declared. "Why. you are intoxicated now and totally unfit to take care of two young girls." In return Mclrvln struck Mr. Gardner a severe blow In the eye. Mr. Gardner at once placed Mclrvln under arrest and dragged him to the County Jail, where he was held until tho police patrol wagon arrived. Several months ago Superintendent Gardner rescued the two young daughters, from tho depraved surroundings In which' they had been dwelling In a scow occu pied by the family at the foot of Belmont street. Mclrvin's first attempt to reclaim them results In his arrest and fine. .FOR ASTORIA AND BEACH POINTS. Steamer Lurlino leaves Taylor-street dock daily at S P. M. except Saturday, at 10 P.

On Her Beam Ends In a Storm at Cape Horn, She Fought Angry Seas Bravely. Six hours on her beam ends In a furious sea, and today in port, the pride of the sailing fleet, anchored in the Willam ette, is tho record of the good ship Riv ersdale, now discharging cargo at Col umbia dock. Not a spar or even a yard displaced after a month that daily threat ened to send ship and cargo to' the bot tom, clean as a soldier on dress parade and ready' for another battle with tho mammoth billows that sweep around, tho stormy Horn, is the British ship Rivera dale. When an old skipper, who has plowed every sep- of the globe during tho past S2 years says he has passed through the -norst gale his ship ever breasted, it means there has been a storm. When a mate with a record of 22 years on the water gives the title "worst" to the same gale, there is more good evidence of a storm. Thus do Cap tain Porter and First Officer Tilston speak of their voyage around tho Horn, which was finished two days ago, when the Riversdale moored here in Portland. That the vessel came through in such splendid condition, speaks volumes for her stanch sides and rigging. One of her companions near Terra del Fuega was dismasted, logged and finally towed into Buenos Ayres practically a wreck, as a result of encountering the same storm. The Deccan, now long overdue at this port from Hamburg, Is somewhere on tho broad deep laboring with wrongs inflicted by this gale, or has gone to the bottom with all hands. Captain Porter believes that when details are finally re ceived and general news compiled, great loss will be charged to the galo which his ship so narrowly escaped. The Riv ersdale is just five years out of the yards and everything about her, has proven re markably stanch and enduring. Her cargo, of course, has been much shaken, but tho stout hull has protected It from the leakage that In a less faithful vessel would have seriously damaged It, If it had not sunk the vessel. In the graphic words of the old skip pers, the gale was terrible. Seas broke over the vessel, filling her deck from rail to rail. Had not Captain Porter Judicious ly used his oil bags In these perilous moments, he believes the ship would have been borne under. When she was thrown on her beams ends, where she remained for five hours, the lee rail was beneath the water, which came as high up the deck as the weather side of the main hatch. It seemed at that moment that nothing could save the Riversdale. When turned she had only tho lower topsail set. Had there been even one more sail spread, it is the belief of both Captain Porter and First Officer Tlltson that the ship could never have been righted. Oil was thrown upon the waves, the efforts of the crew below with the cargo were re doubled, and what to the men seems an act of Providence finally brought the Riversdale back towards her upright po sition. For several days work was pressed to the limit of human endurance to re move the list, that she might not be han dicapped in the hard struggle. Nothing unusual was encountered before reaching the north of Statten Island, east of Terra del Fuego. There a contrary southeast wind and a northwest current were encountered, 'which made progress difficult. A number of vessels were near at the time, the Deccan being one of the number spoken by Captain Porter. The latter left Hamburg bound for Portland 18 days before the Riversdale sailed. As the Riversdale worked south of Statten Island the wind hauled off to the south west and west. Then a continuation of heavy gales set in from the west, north west and southwest. In a period of 30 days not over 300 miles were made. On the 21st a heavy sea smashed the star board boat on the forward house and took the port boat with all gear over board. June 2 the vessel was in a verit able hurricane, with the seas running tremendously high. The lower top sheet carried away. Then with only the lower topsail set the ship went on her beam ends and was not righted for five hours, each of which seemed the last above the water. When this gale finally moder ated somewhat the lower main topsail was set. It blew to pieces within 24 hours. The forward lower topsail was doubled with new canvas. It blew away when two days set. The men were kept working in the hold by lamplight to get the cargo in the best condition. June S another heavy gale set In, the vessel then being In 58 south, 72 west. The gale drew off towards the east and southeast, which was exceedingly fortun ate for the vessel. For two days the ship ran before the heavy gale and tre mendous sea with only the lower topsail set. The decks were full to the rails. Tho seas smashed the forecastle doors, and took e'erythlng that was loose from tho deck. The forecastle was gutted of bunks and the men's chests. All hands worked night and day on tho cargo for a long time. So dangerous was it on deck that food could not be brought from the galley. A wire was rigged for carry ing a basket, as nobody could expose himself with safety. One day the basket was carried away while bringing the din ner. In dismay the cook watched his utensils disappearing in the sea which washed over the vessel. His teapot caught on something and like a frenzied mother he plunged after it. For a moment it seemed that both the cook and teapot were gone, but ho regained his footing and crawled back into the galley with the precious vessel. What seems remarkable as the escape, Is the splendid condition of the vessel. She Is bright and fresh as if she was from a drydock, as the light Injuries sustained have been repaired. Seldom are a master and his mate found who feel a stronger pride In their good ship than Captain Porter and First Officer Tlltson. AT THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY Rooms "Will Be Open This Mornlncr and Afternoon. The rooms of the Oregon Historical Society, nortwest corner of City Hall, top floor, will bo open today from 9 A. M. to 12 M., and from 1 to 5 P. M. A number of tho veterans called yester day forenoon, and an invitation is given for them to call again today. Among articles of interest added during tho week the following may be noted: Souvenir of tho Daily Dispatch, of Montgomery, Ala., April 2S 18S6, con talnlng plates of tho Confederate flag, donated by S. H. Gruber. Solid copper coffee-kettlo or pot, made in Holland, and brought to Pennsylvania In 1S33, donated by Henry A. Mock, and a small Iron skillet, both used in cross ing tho plains in 1S52, and for many years afterwards in the Mock family, on tho old donation claim, near what is now University Park. Both articles donated by John Mock. Municipal Court. James Irving, a resident of Fulton, ar rested on the charge of threatening to kill Henry Westerman, a German farm er, was acquitted. From the testimony introduced Westerman's fears seemed to have been purely groundless. Wester man, it is said. Is a squatter on living's land, and was selling a load of hay that he had raised on the land. Irving was following him to see where he sold it, and carried in his hand a defective ax that he was about to exchange. From this Westerman's suspicions were aroused and he swore out a complaint for Ir ving's arrest In three different counties. Judge Cameron did not take long to make up his mind for an acquittal. Oscar Fenn, arrested by Patrolman Nash for assaulting a Chinaman, was fined ?5. Leo Wah, a Chinese gambler, forfeited $25 cash balL Robert Terald, a Toledo, On, man, ar rested for begging, was sentenced to five days imprisonment WILL ADVERTISE PORTLAND Railroad, to Blount. Hood Won At tract World-Wide Attention. "Tho scheme to build an electric rail road to Mount Hood is certainly a good one," said a well-known citizen yester day; who is much interested In the pros perity of Portland and anything which will .add to Its attractiveness. "It would be a great factor in bringing tourists here, and would advertise Portland very much in tho East. There are scenery and views which are simply grand, one In particu lar of the Sandy River, Bull Run and adjacent Btreams, with the hills gradually rising In the foreground, and Mount Hood In the distance, looking as if it reached up into the sky. The illustrated papers vould bo sure to have illustrations of the scenes all along the line, which would be' of vast benefit to us. "There would be no trouble to finance the scheme, if a company was organized headed by the right men, and if money for tha preliminary surveys were fur nished. The "country is thickly settled out to Salmon River, it Is a good dairy section, and with plenty of valuable tim ber. The distance would bo about 60 miles, with a very easy grade to tho Toll Gate, terminus. From the Toll Gate to Government Camp, eight miles, a line of stages could bo put on, and It would be a fino ride. From Government Camp to tho timber line it Is perfectly feasible to put in a tramway. The Government owns tho land, so there should bo "no difficulty in obtaining a franchise. "A narrow-gaugo lino to Prlnevllle, to connect with the electric line at Mount Hood could be built along the old Barlow road. It could , easily cross that way lntb Prlnevllle, and make that whole country tributary to Portland by a direct route. This is very much shorter than the O. R. & N. Co.'s routes by The Dalles. "Mount Hood is the easiest mountain on the Coast to climb, and with a rail road, tourists would flock there in great numbers. It is a moderate grade most of the way until you get nearly to the top, when there is quite a stiff climb. Lodges could be built on the moraines where tho snow doe3 not settle very long, for rest ing places, and a lodge on the top where persons could And shelter if they re mained omthe mountain over night." Recently a statement was published that Surveyor Hurlburt has been making surveys east of the Sandy River for the purposes of an electric line to Mount Hood, and that there Is a plan under way to harness Hurlburt and Trout Creeks to obtain power for an electric plant. In this connection it is stated that Gordon Creek Is the only stream, except Bull Run River, that flows into the Sandy River, which carries any con siderable volume of water, and would furnish ample electric power. A dam has been built across Gordon Creek eight or nine miles from its mouth, for the pur pose of gauging the stream to ascertain the volume of water. It Is thought, how ever, that It would not pay to build a transmission plant so far up as eight miles into the mountains that it is not a desirable route, and that there Is plenty of fall lower down the creek. The distance from Portland to the upper Sandy River bridge, above Troutdale, Is about 17 miles; from there to Hurlburt Creek it is 4 miles, from Hurlburt to Buck Creek 1 miles, from Buck to Gor don Creek V mile, and from Gordon to Trout Creek 1 miles. These streams, except Gordon Creek, are all very small, and would hardly be sufficient for a power plant. Gordon Creek is about two thirds as big as the Little Sandy, and would be ample for all purposes. PERSONAL MENTION. G. Wlngate, a prominent citizen of As toria, is at tho Imperial. W. B.
