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

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,

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.

Grasses or "Wonderfdii Variett. 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.

This Sotjkds Like a Miracle. 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."

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.

RODE OUT A 34-DAY GALE
SPLENDID BEHAVIOR OF BRITISH
SHIP RrVERSDAIiE.
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.

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.

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.

Information.
Relieve your eyes in every pos
sible way. Use glasses as soon as
any benefit may be derlyed from
them. The most valuable ideas In
the construction of spectacles are
but a few years old. The most val
uable methods and Instruments of
the piesent day for tho examina
tion and correct diagnosis of vis
ual Imperfections have been given
to us within a short period. I have
made myself familiar with those
methods, and have the best instru
ments in my possession. Accuracy
In fitting the face with the propor
frame is as important as the fit
ting of the lenses. Jt requires skill
and experience. I HAVE BOTH.
Safe, honest advice Is yours In
every case. See me about it.
