CONCERNING "WHOLESALE CHICKEN CCL-
ttrh. An article published a short time
ag-o on tbo suceesjt ol ?rfessor Wincbell,
ci Hie Gresham school, in chicken raising
attracted the attention of Mrs. Jane Vin
cent, of Marion Countr, -who Terries to
The Oreconian for iarther information
in regard to Mr. "Wlachell's methods. She
says she has boon raising poultry for sev
eral years, but has not been able to make
the business successful on a Jarge scale,
but she is confident that thts can be done
if one caa only And out how. She notes
that Mr. Wlnchell has secured about 1000
chickens from Ms incubators this season,
and that -when the article -was -written he
had about 60a. and that he raises only
the best, and proceeds on a scientific
plan. She is anxious to learn the par
ticulars of this plan, but thinks It too
early in the season to ask for it, not
withetandlnc that it Is stated that Pro
fessor "Wfnchelt has demonstrated to his
own satisfaction that chicken raisins
can be made a success when followed
along the rfeht lines. When time has
demonstrated that his Ideas are correct,
Mrs. Vincent wishes to be informed what
the rigrht lines to follow are. She has
been fairly successful with poultry, but
not on a large scale, and says that outside
of the numerous ills and species of ver-
xr.in that all poultry are heir to, chicken
thieves have caused her ereat loss. This
is a species of vermin Professor "Wlnchell
has probably not foregathered with yet,
but which he will doubtless be prepared
for.
Imported Vegetable Pests. An old
time citizen who noticed a sfatement in
regard to the Canada thistle taking pos
session of a Held adjoining Governor
Pcnnoyer s farm says this pest flrst made
its appearance here on a block In tho
district burned over by the great ilre
cf 1672. People went out to look at the
strange plant, which an immigrant had
pronounced the Canada thistle. When
asked If he was sure that he was cor
rect, ho replied: "'1 was brought up In
Northern New York." and then lie looked
at his hands, as if ho had only lately
been "pulling thistles." which is a part
of the regular work of farm hands in
that region. The first year they did not
nioom, but the next year they did, and
Eomo of the seed was carried abroad by
the wind, and tho pest the next year
made its appearance in several olaces
in the suburbs. That it has not spread
more widely Is due to the care taken not
to allow it to bloom, but each patch is
enlarging yearly from the spread of tho
roots. The Bull thistle did not make Its
appearance till after the Canada thistle,
but has spread ail over the country. It
Is easily killed out by cultivation. Among
other vegetable pests now common hi this
country, but which It is alleged have all
been introduced, are the French pink,
wild oat, sheep sorrel, oxoye daisy, dan
delon and plantain. Careful cultivation
will eradicate some of these, but eternal
vigilance is the price of freedom from
any of them.

Hauling Gravbl bt Txiol&et. Track
laying Is progressing on the extension of
Corbeit street to Fulton, and the rails
uro already down as far south from Ham
ilton avenue as the bridge across the
flrst gulch. The road is being ballasted
with fine gravel hauled by electric cars
from a pit on the Montavilla line. Three
cars are employed in hauling flatcars
loaded with five cubic yards of gravel,
and they manage to deposit about 100
yards ot gravel on tho track per day. It
Would take a large number of teams to
haul that much gravel the same distance
in a day. By employing electricity as mo
tive power and procuring material near
at hand and at little cost, it might be
possible to fill suoh places as the hlrh
bridges across Marauam Gulch econom
ically, which never could be done using
teams.

EarpLOYHENT tor Coopers. The large
number of Columbia River salmon, sow
sent abroad in a pickled condition nasi
given an impetus to tbo cooperage bus
iness here. Owing to the value of the
salmon in a tierce, it is necessary that
the very best of these tierces should be
used for holding them. There must be
absolutely no leaks in them, and no cheap
tierces are used, as the smallest leak
might cause a loss of fish many times
greater than the cost of the cask. As
any one can imagine. It Is no easy thing
to turn out a tierce absolutely tight and
which will stand the test Of 40 pounds
pressure, which is applied to all of them.
It requires good material and good work
men to do this, and an eagle eye to over
look the process of manufacturing. Some
men become artists In this llner while
others, after they have worked at the
trado all their lives, cannot be depended
on to produce a perfect cask. Owing to
the high price of salmon during the
early part of the season, less were pickled
for export than had been contemplated,
but enough were pickled to keep a large
number of coopers busy through the
season.
Wkt Not Make Wheelbarrows? A
wholesale dealer who was receiving Into
his store a carload of wheelbarrows Sat
urday called the attention of a passing
woodworker to them, and remarked that
such things, for home consumption, at
least, ought to be made here. The ne
cessary machinery for making wheelbar
rows would not cost much, and there was
no great skill required in the manufac
ture of them, and plenty of suitable wood
Is obtainable here. A good many carloads
of wheelbarrows are handled by the mer
chants of this city In a year, and it ap
peared to him that they could be made
here at a profit. There are many other
things of a similar nature which might "be
made hero, and thus lots of money kept
In the state and employment furnished
for many. Hosts of boys are growing up
who can find nothing to do, and for whose
benefit industries of this kind ought to
be promoted.
Swam More Than Once a Day. Among
the earliest to return from the beach this
season was a woman with a large family
of boys. .She leased a house for the sea
son at a high figure, but when her boys
found that they could go In swimming
only once a day, and that tho time was
fixed by the tide, they were not satisfied.
They wanted to go somewhere where
they could go In swimming all day long
and at night, too. If they desired, and
their mother finally sublet the house at
a considerable loss and removed with her
boya to a placo on the bank of the Wil
lamette, where the boys can swim when
ever they please. Some day a big swim
ming bath will be built ot some of the
seaside resorts, Into which salt water can
be pumped and allowed to get warmed in
tho sun, so that bathing can be Indulged
in at any time, and by people who cannot
stand the shock of plunging Into tha
breakers.
Always at tub Wrong Ssason. A
large amount of street and sewer work
is in hand at present, and more Is in
contemplation. There is a general ten
dency to put off making street improve
ments as long as p'osslble, and as almost
any kind of a street is passable, In the
Summer season, many allow this work to
go undone until the Winter rains set In,
and it has to bo done, although such work
can only be dono to disadvantage In wet
weather, and often its completion is
greatly delayed. It is unfortunate that
street Improvements are so often made
in short stretches, as streets Improved
in this way are never good for any dis
tance at a time. It would bo better
policy for all concerned to Improve long
stretches of a street at one time and to
improve more than one street at a time
In eaoh district. This would divide tho
travel and cause Improvements to wear
longer.
Certain He Will Not Find It. A re
turned argonaut from Nome says one of
the funniest things he saw there, a sort
of standing practical joke on newcom
ors, was a deaf-mute who was soliciting
work as a wood sawyer. Tho man who
"says nothing, but saws wood" has al
ways heen considered shrewd, but this
mute is more shrewd. Ho goes around
handing a card to every stranger he meets,
on which Is printed, "Please give mo a
Job at sawing wood to earn money to
get me something to eat." This appeal
leads many to give the poor fellow- the
price of a meal. The joke is that there
is no wood at Nome to saw. Every
splinter of drift along the beach wa3
gathered up long ago, and the only fuel
used Is coal, coal oil, gasoline, etc The
deaf-mute Is hunting for work with tha
certainty that he will not find it, which
must be a great comfort to" him.
Gloated Over a Mishap Three well
dressed Japanese were speeding down
Third street yesterday afternoon on bicy
cles wnen one ot them tried to make n
sharp turn in front of the Chamber of
Commerce, and fell heavily. He was bad
ly mixed up with his wheel, burst his
trousers, covered his suit with dirt, and
presented a sad spectacle. While the
spectators generally wero sympathising
with him in the misfortune, bursting
peals of laughter were head from a group.
Some Chinese had witnessed tho accident
of the Japanese, and it seemed to strike
them as excruciatingly funny. Here was
one instance at least where the Chinese
had it over the Jap, and these Celestials
wore not going to let the opportunity
pass to gloat a little.

QBSERVEDTHEIR FESTIVAL

HEART
Bishop Edrrard J. O'Dea Frenches a
Sermon ou the Sublime Slystery
of the Incarnation.
The festival of the Immaculate Heart
of Mary was celebrated yesterday In the
church of that title. Upper Alblna, with
unusual solemnity. It was the 10th an
niversary of the founding of the church.
At the 10:30 mass the regular choir of
the church rendered Farmer's "Mass" In
excellent style. Many of the large con
gregation present spoke in glowing praise
of the splendid music, especially as the
choir was unaided by outside voices. Tho
following Is the personnel of the chplr:
M. Keating, leader and tenor soloist;
to exceed the French prune, which is
better than the Italian, and In size nearly
If not quite to equal the Italian.
Land best adapted to growth of the
trees Is said to be drier than that now
found most advantageous to the Italian
tree. If this proves true, a large amount
of good orchard land will bo put In that
I now is deemed unfit for prune trees. The
hardiness of the tree, so far as indicated,
Mr. Lewis says, Is very gratifying. The
trunk Is large and strong, and grows
with great rapidity. Further and more
general experiments will bo watched with
eagerness by fruitgrowers until it is
definitely determined whether a substan
tial Improvement has been made over
the big Italian prune, which has become
so popular.

THREW CARBOLIC ACID
EAST
SIDE BOT DISFIGURES'
PLAYMATE FOR LIFE.
Dashed the Poison Into the Lad's
Face Close -of the Reunion,
of ex-Soldiers.
Adolph Anderson, a 13-year-old boy,
wh03e parents live at 9S4 East Thirty
third street, was shockingly burned" on
the left side of his face a' few days ago
with carbolic acid, and Is probably marked
for life. The acid, was thrown on his
face by another boy about his age. It Is
a very serious matter, and It was more
than fortunate that some of the acid did
not enter the eye of the Anderson lad and
destroy the sight, as It came very close
to the eye. Adolph was playing with two
other boys, one named Pye, who lives on
East Thirty-first street. The boy, whose
name could not be learned, had a bottle
of carbolic acid. He handed the bottle to
tho Pye boy, who filled the hollow of
his hand with the fluid, and then slipping
up behind young Anderson dashed It all
over the left side of his face, and some
of It trickled down on his neck. His face
was soon covered with blisters and he ran
home crying with the pain.
The side of his face Is badly burned
and the burns seem quite deep, and tho
marks may remain, unless he outgrows
thom. There does not appear to have been
any bad feeling between the boys and
they were playing together on good terms.
The Pye lad probably had no Idea what
the effects of the acid would be wnen he
dashed It on to the face of his playmate.
Where the boys got the bottle of carbolic
acid in the flrst place Is not known. Mrs.
Anderson Is greatly concerned as to
whother the effects on her boy's face will
be permanent or not. She Is very indig
nant over the affair, and the case will be
looked Into. What can bo done In the
case is not apparent. The penalty for
disfiguring another Is severe, but what
can be done In this case where the boys
were playing together remains to be as
certained. It would seem that tho posses
sion of the bottle of carbolic acid by
the boys might be investigated. Mr. An
derson, father of the Injured boy, is in
Alaska.
A Word About
Wekr Pianos
THE PALATIAL
"There are hundreds of piano forte
makers In the United States." says the
New York Tribune, "but not over four
,are undlsputably Jn the front rank, and
prominent among the four is the house of
Weber. Although its founder, like the
originators of tho other leading houses,
is no longer living, the great factory
which he established still goes on. and
the Weber warerooms contain today moro
exquisite examples of tho piano makers
art than were ever before shown by this
renowned concern. The elder Weber was
a genius In the realm of tone produc
tion, and It has been often said that tho
quality that Stradlvarlus bestowed upon
the violin Weber Imparted to his piano
forte. His successors have strictly main
tained tho high standard of excellence es
tablished In the early days of tho con
cern, and have perpetuated that wonder
ful tone quality for which tho Weber
piano has so long been distinguished. Tho
artistic productions of the house this
season merit especial comment."

"As the feast which we celebrate today lo

parable dignity of tho divine maternity,
It will be best understood In connection
with tho Incarnation of Eer divine Sort.
AU her greatness and glory Is his, and
whatever he possessed and will for eter
nity retain of his human nature, he owes
to her consent to become the blessed
mother of God. Sho became truly his
mother, for as far as the sublime mys
tery of tho incarnation can be reflected
in the natural order, tho blessed virgin,
under the overshadowing of the Holy
Ghost, by communicating to the second
person of the adorable trinity, as mothers
do, a true human nature of the same sub.
stance with her own, is thereby really
and truly his mother.
"The two most loving, holy and pure
hearts that ever beat and burned with
love for God and man the sacred hoart
of Jesus and the Immaculate heart of
Mary are Inseparable They were forever
united in this world, and will remain
united during all eternity. The one can
not live without the other. Jesus owes
his heart to Mary, and Mary's heart is
what it is, and, what It ever will be, be
cause It Is the heart of Jesus' mother.
"As Mary was tho principal, after God,
in the great work of the Incarnation, so
she had also the chief share in the mys
tery and fruit of the redemption. Sho
co-operated with the great high priest In
his immolation of himself as tho victim
of expiation, but in virtue also of her
redemption, which made that immolation
necessary, he was her redeemer as well
as that of all mankind.
"With our souls' deepest adoration and
love, then, to the sacred heart of Jesus,
all praise and fidelity to the immaculato
heart of Mary. Both are in heaven now,
our chlefest and our choicest treasures;
and where our treasure Is, there let our
hearts bo for time and for eternity."
INTEREST IN NEW FRUIT.
Known As Sngrar Prune, and Halls
From California.
Some Interest is being aroused among
fruitgrowers over a new prune introduced
here two years ago from California. It
is known as the sugar prune. Lewis
Bros., of Russellvlllo, are the only per
sons known to be experimenting with It,
and next year they expect to havo one
tree bearing. This prune was brought, out
by Burbank of California, as the result
of long trials in combining the familiar
species. Large claims are made for It.
It Is said to dry heavier than the Ital
ian, yields with the French, and the trees
grow strong and large, and Indicate con,-
slderabla hardiness. One of its best
features Is said to be early maturing,
which, so far as tested, seems to bo at
least 20 days before the Italian.
Italian prunes dry at about 35 to W
pounds per 100 green. The sugar prune
is said to dry at an average of seven
and one-half ounces per pound, which is
slightly less than half the weight of
green fruit, This Increased weight of
the dried sugar prune Is attributed to the
greater quantity of sugar it contains,
which seems to be generally conceded
from other tests. It is also reported bet
ter than the Italian in point of evapora
tion, as the relative quantity of juice Is
less. Ono or two excellent varieties of
prunes have been brought out of late
years, but they were greatly deficient in
this respect, When dried they were noth
ing but skin and seed, and exceedingly
tart.
Champions of the sugar prune do not
ho had been looking at some redwood
timber. The redwood forests do not ex
tend over Into Oregon very far, but he
saw trees that if sawed up would pro
duce 230,000 feet each. Lots of these giants
of the forest which have been prone on
tho ground for many years would cut up
into 100,000 to 160,000 foot each, and they
are as sound now as the time when some
unusual wind storm threw them over.
Most of "tho redwood forest he found on
the California coast, from a point in tho
Gasquet toll road, south. It had all
found Its way into the han.ds of big cor
porations, however, and very little is now
on the market.
' "There Is some difference between those
trees and tho timber wo have back
home," ha said. "It takes five or six of
our spruce trees to make 1000 feet of lum
ber, and we cut them as close to tho
ground as wo can work the saw. Be
sides this, we use only band saws, which
are very thin, and there Is a minimum
of waste in, sawdust, every spoonful of
which we savo as though It were gold
dust.
"Spruco is used largely in the manu
facture of wood pulp for paper, though
we get out several carloads a day of
what we call 'bill timber, dimension
stuff for small frame buildings, docks for
vessels, etc. This ranges in price from
H5 to $30 per 1000 at the mill.
"Tho demand for pulp paper is increas
ing every year, and the newspapers of
New York City consume a very large
amount of paper made from the spruce
log. What paper is going to be mado of,
I think, is the coming problem, as spruco
is giving out. Hardwood, such as hem
lock and oak, have been, tried, but the
paper cannot bo whitened to the satisfac
tion of consumers. However, Yankee
genius may Invent some substitute before
the present material is entirely exhausted."

prunes are mostly consumed by the
poorer classes, with whom the purchase
of sugar is a costly Item of household
expenses. If they find a fruit for which
no sugar at all Is required, it is argued
that thoy will consume even larger
quantities.
If the sugar prune matures 20 days be

brought to the flrst or early part of

Alaskan Masuzlne Prints Time-Worn
Pictures "With New Labels.
The AlaBkan Magaelne, published In
Chicago, and "devoted to tho resources
of Alaska and tho Great Pacific," Is one
of the latest and most pronounced of
fake publications. There Is very little
In it in regard to Alaska, except tho Il
lustrations, and there Is nothing of Alas
ka about them except the fake titles.
They are from old magazine plates, and
as "adopted" are supremely ridiculous.
For instance: A picture of a German
fraulein In short skirts and with bare
feet drawing water at an old-fashioned
well, and listening' to a cavalier, who is
making love to her over a stone wall, a
sort of Marguorite and Faust picture,
Is labeled, "A familiar scene at Cape
Nome." The bare feet, the vines over
head, and tho whole scene Is about as.
little like Nomo as anything can be. Tho
other ilustrations are on the same plan.
A picture of a bareheaded girl in a
flower garden is entitled, "Mid-Summer
in the North;" a scene in a flower-bespangled

Reunion Cloned.
The reunion, which has been held tho
paat week in Hawthorne Park under the
auspices of the ex-Soldiers' and Sailors'
Association and Woman's Auxiliary
Association closed yesterday morning
with divine services on the ground,
conducted by Rev. W. T. Kerr,
pastor of Trinity Methodist Church, and
was attended by a fair congregation.
Thoso who were' present heard a plain,
patriotic sermon, delivered in a very ef
fective manner. Mr. Kerr is a veteran of
tho Civil War, and could enter into sym
pathy with the many veterans who wero
present to hear him. He made an earn
est appeal for them to embrace the faith
of Christ. He spoke on tho trials and
difficulties that had been encountered by
the old soldiers, and noted now many wero
growing old, as the years passed on. They
had performed their service for the coun
try well, and deserved the high considera
tion of their fellow countrymen. At the
close of the pleasing discourse there was
a hand-shako all around, as the reunion
closed, and three cheers wero given for
"Old Glory." ,
In point of attendance the reunion was
not as successful as the association had
reason to hope for. The admission of 10
cents at the gate, to meet expenses, kept
away a good many. Tho association felt
embarrassed on this account, but could
not do otherwise.. Hawthorne Park is" tho
only well equipped place in Portland for
holding a reunion. It was under lease by
Professor Brown, and the only way to
secure It was In the 10-cent charge. The
association had no expense, the 10 cents
paying everything. Had the reunion been
held "anywhere else It would have cost
more to attend it than it did at Haw
thorne Park, but this vas not taken Into
consideration and people remained away.
Tho addresses were generally excellent.
As tha reunion was mainly participated
in by the G. A. R. men. the association
will no doubt pass under the control of the
veterans of tho Civil War and the Wom
an's Auxiliary. Secretary Foss and Presi
dent Mayo did all In their power to make
everything pleasant. Mr. Foss largely
carried out the details, and President
Mayo handled tho programmes with spirit.
In speaking of reunions a gentleman who
has watched them closely says1:
"It is my Judgment that the G. A. R.
makes a mistake In the conduct of most of
the reunions. It la well enough to have
ono or moro addresses on tho Civil War,
but to havo every speech on the same
subject In my opinion is a mistake. This
mistake was made in the Hawthorne
Park reunion. Thero are other patriotic
subjects that may be discussed with en
tire frankness and without offense at re
unions with much profit. I notice that ox
Pleasant Home the managers always have
two or more lectures on economlo and
popular topics from men who are not
members of tho G. A. R., at the re
unions, and they havo never had a down
right failure In 12 years. Tho story of
tho war Is rich in interest, but there are
other questions of equal interest, and it
Is my judgment that the G. A. R. re
unions to prove successful will havo to
widen out In the matter of public ad
dresses and public speakers. Also the
G. A R. is tho strongest organization and
must lead. To mix up with Indian War
and Spanish War veterans will not work.
Tho Portland association to succeed will
have to pass under the management of
the G. A. R Tho late reunion demon
strates that while tho theory of an asso
ciation of veterans of all ware is good,
it will not succeed."
