AID FOR GALVESTON
General Movement Undr
Way In Portland.
ALL WILL JOIN HANDS IN CHARITY
Every Baalc "Will Be' Asked to Re
ceive Subscriptions There Will
'Be 3To Soliciting
2yor Itowe, Sis Grace Archbishop
Christie, and President Taylor, of the
Chamber of Commerce, have Joined hands
to raise a relief fund for the Texas suf
ferers. That Portland should do some
thing1 is conceded by all, and the very
timely announcement by Archbishop
Christie tLat he would receive subscrip
tions started the ball rolling. As what
ever is done will be best done by Joint ac
tion, both Mayor Rowe and President
"Taylor hastened to co-operate in. the
movement begun by the archbishop.
A meeting- was held last evening at the
arobi episcopal residence to consider details
'and plans of action. One thing was de-
'cided upon above others. This is a case
where voluntary offerings will have to.be
made. There is not sufficient time for so
liciting subscriptions, and it is not "tho
proper case for solicitations. Those In
terested feel that if the suffering of the
Texans is not sufficient to stimulate peo
ple able to give something for relief, a
sufficient cause would be hard to find.
And it will be necessary to act very
promptly. "Whatever Is done should bo
done at once. Every person desiring to
snake a contribution should do so today.
It will not bo any more difficult than de
laying until tomorrow or the next day,
and the case admits of no delay. Other
cities have already responded or have the
fund well under way.
To facilitate contributions, the archbish
op and President Taylor will visit all the
banks this morning and arrange to have
them receive money intended for the fund.
This will be turned over to a treasurer
Indicated by the archbishop, the Mayor
-and President Taylor today or tomorrow,
who will remit it to Houston or the Gov
ernor of Texas.
On every hand is heard the expression
that Portland should act. Now that the
movement has been originated, the peo
ple are expected to come forward quickly.
As usual, some have been disposed to
complain that the officials are slow in
starting. Be this -as It may, the only
source of complaint that will remain now
Is In the promptness and generositv of
responses to the call. All the officials
lieartily indorse the work commenced, and
will give 4t every possible support.

ROLLINS' ART EXHIBIT.
Ioat Time His Pictures Slay Be Seen
Xor Some Years.
W. E. Rollins opened his exhibit of pic
tures in the Y. M. C. A. parlors yesterday
af temoon, and although it has been opened
but one day it has already attracted con
siderable comment among art lovers.
There are three rooms covered from floor
to ceiling -with studies and finished pic
tures in oil, watercolors and black and
"white (charcoal, crayon and pencil). Most
of the subjects are marines or beach
studies, glimpses of forest coverts, for
Sir. Rollins is an ardent enthusiast over
Oregon and Washington scenery. There
are, however, a number of very fine figures
and portraits, which show the artist's ver
satility. His black and white studies are
really very remarkable for the brush-like
effect that he obtains. This recently at
tracted much attention in Boston, whither
lie sent some specimens of his pencil
-work not long ago, and flattering com
parisons were made'by connoisseurs be
tween his work and that of leading Ameri
can artists whose pictures were shown
side by side with his on the same walls.
This will bo the last opportunity the
public will have to enjoy his work, since
he Intends leaving for the East imme
diately after the close of this exhibit, to
spend two or three years in the art cir
cles of New York City. His collection of
pictures will be open to visitors for 10
days in the Y. M. C. A. building on
Fourth street, between Morrison and Yam
hill. Hours. 10 A. M. to 20 P, M., every
lay, Including Sundays. The rooms are
very prettily decorated, and as there Is an
abundance of comfortable chairs, sight
seers will find It to be a quiet, restful,
enjoyable place to spend a lazy hour,
whenever they are tired out with walking
around in the hot sun. Mr. Rollins' old
friends will be particularly interested in
his recent sea studies, just made at New
port, Or., where he has been spending the
summer.
LAID TO REST.
Otto 'Greenhood' Body Reposes In
Greenwood Cemetery.
In the cemetery which he glowingly de
scribed as a. fit resting place for the
dead. Otto Greenhood was buried yester
day afternoon. He was employed on the
Evening Telegram when Greenwood Cem
etery was laid out. In his capacity of
reporter, he visited the new grounds .and
wrote an Interesting article on the sight
liness of the spot and beauty of the en
vironment. In choosing the grave, Mr.
Finley, who had been deputed in the last
letter to perform this work; thought
Greenwood was the proper place, as the
deceased had introduced it to the pub
lic. The funeral services were held in the
chapel of J. P. Finley & Son, Dr. A. A,
Morrison officiating. A large number of
friends had gathered there, among the
number being several of his companions
In newspaper work. Floral contributions
were numerous. A large piece from- the
employes of The Evening Telegram was
especially beautiful. Greenhood had re
quested a young woman friend of his
to see that on the lapel of his coar was
pinned the usual red and white carna
tions which he always wore In life; This
simple office was faithfully performed by
the friend. Among the .floral offerings
wert? numerous carnations, which had
been sent in recognition of the deceased's
fondness for the flower while living.
The ceremonies -were completed at the
chapel. Only a few of the more Intimate
friends accompanied the body to the cem
etery, yherfc It was buried without addi-
tlonal Tltes. The pallbearers -were C. 3
Idleman, N. f5f. Rountrec. Bert Rising,
Fred Bay, Captain R. S.'Grcenleaf and
H. W.MconIes.
RICH Ums BONDED.
Option en the Mountain Lion Given
to Canadian Capitalists. ,
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Mountain Lion mine, In
this city yesterday, it was announced that
the property had -been bonded to R A.
Palmer, of Spokane, for a period of 90
days. f
The Mountain Lion mine is located at
Republic, Wash., and has come tp the
front lately as one of. the most valuable
properties in that region. It was bought
three years ago by Jonathan Bourne, of
this city, "for a song," as mining men,
conversant with the circumstances, ex
press it, and the extensive developments
since that time disclose ore enough to
last a 25-stamp mill for 10 years. From
$1200 to $1700 worth of bullion a day has
been shipped to Portland from the mine
for several months, and this output will
be further increased by the addition of
five stamps now being put In position.
Present operations are being conducted
on the 428-foot level, a drift being run in
both directions from the bottom, of the
main shaft, where a body of milling ore
from eight to 30 feet In thickness Is be
ing sloped.
Since Mr. Bourne became Interested,
stock has been purchased by Portland
men, and he now owns merely a controll
ing interest, but as the value of Its 1,
500,000 shares Is $1,350,000, a controlling In
terest is considerable. There are four
quartz claims Included with the property,
and six timber claims, while the build
ings, forming quite a settlement, are of
a substantial character, an electric hoist
and cyanide plant being two of the ap
pliances of the mill.
The bonding of this large property to
Mr. Palmer, marks an era in the, transi
tion of the Republic mine from Ameri
can to Canadian hands, as the McLaren
brothers, weathly mining men of Ottawa,
are behind Mr. Palmer in the deal. Ca
nadian capitalists have already bought
the. Republic, the Jim Blaine; the Black
Tall and San Poll. American prospect
ors have discovered these properties and
American enterprise has afterwards de
veloped them, and placed them on a
paying basis, and then Canadian capital
ists, too conservative to risk money in
development, have purchased tne mines
at big figures. Should this deal go
through, the bullion of the Mountain
Lion mine. Instead of being shipped to
Portland, will find its way thereafter to
Ottawa.
EARLY HORNING TENNIS.
First Match Yesterday Played at
Sunrise Women Play Today.
At 6 o'clock In the morning, as the sun
was Tlslng In all its glory over the Cas
cade Mountains, L. B. Wlckersham and
Lelter went down in defeat before Brandt
Wlckersham and Jordan Zan, -3, 7-5, at
tennis, on Multnomah Field. The winning
team is a newly "formed one, and every
one expected Lelter and Wlckersham,
who have been playing together all sea
son, to win out easily, despite the handi
cap of 5-6 of 15 against-them. The un
usual hour and the dew-soaked balls,
combined with an unexpected display of
strength on the part of their opponents,
frere too much for the losers, and they
played as though tennis was a new and
strange game, which they were attempt
ing for the first time. Brandt Wlcker
sham, with regular practice, would make
one of the best players In the city.
In the afternoon, B. "Wlckersham and
Zan, receiving 5-6 of 15, met Goss and
Lewis and played them very close, but
the latter, notwithstanding the heavy
handicap against them of owe 15.3, won
out in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4.
Several Interesting single matches were
also played. In the seventh class, Dr.
Mackay beat Foster. 6-4, 6-3. Lombard,
by defeating Miles, 5-7, 6-3, 6-2, becomes
the winner of the sixth class. Lumgalr
defeated Ollphant in straight sets, 6-4, 6-1.
This places him m the semi-finals of the
fifth class, when'he meets Thlelsen. Glf
ford has been compelled to default to
Lewis, in the second 'class.
This morning the women play again. At
9:30, Mrs. Baldwin (scratch) meets Miss
Senders, receiving 15.3, and at 10:30, Miss
Goss, receiving 15.4, plays Mies JosephI,

IT WAS SHRINERS' NIGHT
THEY AND THEIR. FRIENDS FIILED
THE STREET FAIR.
Baby Show la the Afternoon Attract-ed-BH
Immense Crowd ElUa'
Masked Carnival Tonight.
"When the, colossal caravan of Shrlners
arrived last night, direct from their tent
ed homes on the, glittering sands of the
desert, and laid sleg6 boldly and defiant
ly to the main citadel of the Carnival
grounds, the hearts of Its defenders
weakened at the sight of tne"gleamlng
scimitars, and they hastily drew up the
portcullis, .lowered the drawbridge and
allowed the besiegers to march In tri
umph through the length of the grounds
without' the loss of a single man.
Long before their approach, the pres-
ence of the oncoming column was her
alded by the burning of red fire on the
route of march and by the sound of tom
toms and kettle-drums and by other queer
noises. peculiar to these strange people of
the far Bast.
Large crowds had collected at the en
trance of the fair to view them, and dur
ing their progress through the grounds
they encountered the greatest number of
Carnival visitors that has attended since
last Saturday night The whole length
of the grounds was packed with people,
and In the space far down as the Midway
entrance it was at times simply Impossi
ble to move either forward or backward.
In the Women's building the crowd v was
Jammed to the point of suffocation, and
independent movement was an impossi
bility. Everybody was eager to catch a
gllmpso. of the Queen of the Carnival,
Miss Alice Thayer, who, with her maids
of honor and dainty little pages, sat In
state to receive the cheerful homage of
an admiring multitude. The energy with
which this Increasing" popularity was
shown was sometimes painful to sensi
tive ribs, but It was received in the spirit
of good-natured fellowship, which char
acterized .the night's festivities and pro
voked no ill-feeling. Confetti .flew In
showers, and rebounding rubber balls
lodged on many a sober pate.
At the head of the conclave, of Shrlners
as they made their way along the streets
and through the fair was a cordon of
police, followed by the chief potentate,
Professor I. W. Pratt, Chief Rabbah
Thomas McCusker, and Frank S. Spencer,
assistant chief rabban, mounted upon
swaying camels and ambling asses. Like
wise came also Queen Lulu, who Is sup
posed to be the descendant of. the most
Illustrious Shrlner that ever stood be
jieath the star and crescent. Her rich
Oriental beauty was the object of atten
tion everywhere; but many masculine
hearts ceased to flutter after they discov
ered the strong resemblance she bore to
Otto Goodman.
Next came tho Imperial Band -of Baza
Bazouksr direct from Constantinople, and
the way they played the Arabian adapta
tion of "A Hot Time" will long' be rfe
membered. They were clad In a bizarre
assortment of flowing garments, and
wore upon their swarthy faces many
curious designs In red and yellow.
Following close upon tholp heels were
the grand bearer of the sacred scimitar,
the grand bearer of the emblem of the
order and numerous noted' sheiks and
trusted standard-bearers. The remainder
of the caravan consisted of a long col
umn of nobles of Al Kader Temple, clad
In black suits and bright red fezes. Each
carried castanets, which they tinkled In
time to the music of the band, and upon
the breast of each-ywas ablt of red rib
bon suspending a knot of hemp, symbolic
of the short rope which a Shrlner holds
to when he starts out upon the desert
In passing the Women's building the
Illustrious potentate presented to the Car
nival Queen a handsome floral piece, four
feet in height, -epresentlng the emblem
of tho Shrlners a sclmltfir surmounting
the star and crescent the colors being red
white and purple.
Baby Show.
Yesterday was Baby Day at the Street
Fair and' Carnival, and it was the best
attended and most successful baby show
ever held In Portland. Over 135 babies
were entered-ln competition for the prizes,
and there were fully 200 more on the
grounds, whose'anxlous mothers were un
able to reach the llsts.-owing to the crush,
of eager sightseers who wedged their way

crowd and confusion 'Increased the diffi
culty of their labors; and by the time
they finished the awards they were near
ly exhausted. The prizes provided by the
management "wereiexceptlonally valuable,
and were well worth the keen competi

Inconsistencies.
Corvallis Gazette.
What Mr. Bryan "considers one of his
strongest Indictments against the Repub
lican party Is the charge that the war
taxes were purposely arranged In the In
terest of the corporations. The Pullman
Company stamps Its taxable paper with
out, adding to the price of its service to
the public or. abating ,the wages of its
employes. The railroad companies stamp
their bills of lading without trying to pass
the tax to their customers. The only
corporation In the United States that in
the "beginning exacted' the war stamp from
the people was Wells-Fargb, and its
president, John J. Valentine, Is out tooth
and toenail for Bryan,
i
Plutocrat Democrats.
Corvallis Gazette.
' Mr. Bryan says the present campaign
"Is a. contest "between Democracy on the
one band and plutocracy on the other."
With such plutocrats as Jones, Croker,
Clark of Montana, and a hundred "of
others of like ilk supporting Mr. Bryan,
it looks like that gentleman's party -was at
war with itself. , .
IN THE SEVERAL-COURTS
BOY SUES FOR flO,000 DAMAGES
FOR IjOSS OF AN EYE.
Nonralt In Mining: Case Against C.
M. CartwriKht, From Whom
$35,000 Was Demanded.
William Spreltzer, aged 12 years, by his
father, A. Spreltzer, as .guardian ad litem,
has sued Emmett Nealond, 19 years of
age, for 0,000 damages, In tho State Cir
cuit Court. Spreltzer's eye was shot out
by Nealond on August 12, near the resi
dence of the'former, at Savier and Twenty-third
streets. Nealond alighted from
a horse and wagon, which he was driv
ing, and borrowing an air-gun, loaded
with BB 'buckshot from a boyv standing
by, pointed it at Spreltzer and fired.
The complaint filed recites that the de
fendant maliciously and with wanton
recklessness deliberately pointed and dis
charged the gun at plaintiff, and shot
him in the left eye, the sight of which
was forever and completely destroyed.
Nealonfl's father, Thomas J. Nealond,
keeps a grocery store at 335 North Six
teenth street, and it will doubtless be con
tended by plaintiff's legal adviser that the
father is liable 'for any judgment se
cured against his son.
NO WRITTEN AGREEMENT.
Snlt for 35,000 Against Cfcarlea .
Cartwright Dismissed.
Thetrlal of the $35,000 damage suit of
C. W. Kelman against C. M. Cartwright,
the well-known stockralser of Crook
County, and ex-State Senator, came to a
sudden termination In Judge Frazer"a
court yesterday, plaintiff's counsel ask
ing and befng granted an order of volun
tary nonsuit
,The controversy concerns a mining
transaction. Kelman In his complaint set
up that on May 26, 1S99, he entered Into
an agreement with Cartwright, whereby
It was understood that In consideration of
the services rendered by the plaintiff, the
defendant agreed to share equally with
plaintiff whatever right he should ac
quire in the following mining properties
In the Trout Creek section of Crook Coun
ty; Sliver King, Ruby, Bird, Deuce, Dan
dy Dude, and Ella mining claims. Kel
man says Cartwright obtained an Inter
est in these claims valued at at least
W.OOO, and that he demanded his share
of the same and was refused.
The defense, as outlined by the attor
ney for the defendant, was that Kelman
represented that two men, Brown and
Maddox, had an Interest In these mines,
and Cartwright was to furnish necessary
funds to establish their title, and Kelman
as his share, was to receive from Brown
and Maddox half of their share. Cart
wright -mploycd Frank V. Drake as an
attorney to Investigate the matter, and
Mr. Drake reported that Brown and
Maddox had no show whatever. Subse
quently J. G. Edwards and P. J. Queraly,
mlnlner men of Wyoming, discovered that
the real owners were Messrs. Klrby, Hub
bard, Knight and Thomson, and the mines
were acquired. Cartwright furnishing $3500
as his share, and a company was
organized, known as the Oregon King
Mining Company, with 200,000 shares, at
$1 per share. They all took stock, and
Cartwright got 50.000 shares, and after
wards more. It was contended that Kel
man had nothing to do with this deal
which took place, It being altogether dif
ferent and Independent rrom the one
which he proposed.
Kelman took the witness-stand and pro
ceedfed to tell how he met Cartwright and
Informed him of the properties and the
richness of the ore, and that the owners
required money, and a cheap purchase
could be effected. Kelman next began to
relate the terms of the agreement made
by him' with Cartwright, ;when the attor
ney for the defendant objected, contend
ing that In a case-of thl kind the agree
ment must be In writing. There was no
such agreement, and plaintiff's counsel
admitted the force of the argument, and
dismissed the suit It may be possible
to make the case stick In the equity de
partment, where another statute governs,
allowing proof of oral agreements If a
partnership can be established.

BOTH MEN CONFIDENT.
Pugrlllsts Who Meet Here Tomorrow
Night Certain of Winning.
The local sporting fraternity are more
than worked up over the contest tomor
row evening between Tracey and Thomp
son. Tracey when seen yesterday, after
his work, said: "I never felt better in all
my life. I feel the same now as I did
when I won the welter-weight champion
ship of Australia. If I don't lick Thomp
son I will retire from the ring, and I will
assure you that I want to fight a little
longer. I am well pleased with the Port
land people. I have received the finest
kind of treatment, and I will give the
people all that Is coming to them Friday
night."
Bob Thompson was on the road yester
day, as usual. He said: "Come to my
training quarters, boys, I want you to see
me finish my work, because I want you
to bet that I will beat the Australian
champion. Don't think that I consider
Tracey a bad one. He is a very fast,
clever man, but I am Just a little better.
I will certainly win from him. He fights
just like "Young" Peter Jackson, and, of
course, we all know Jackson Is a good
man, but I defeated him liv eight rounds,
and I am better now than when I won
from him."
Opinion of sporting men Is divided.
Those who have followed the game for
years, and are well posted In ring mat
ters, are betting heavily on each man.
They are all of the opinion that neither
fighter has a cinch. The opinion Is gen
eral that the fight will (go close to the
limit. Peter Eades, ex-Chief of Police
of Cripple Creek, Colo., has seen Thomp
son In many of his best fights. He says:
"Thompson ls'both fast, clever and ag
gressive, and ought to win. In about 10
rounds." Nate Solomon differs with the
chief, and says: "I have seen both men
go, and I consider Tracey Just a little
faster, and I will win."
SAVED BY RUBBER SOLES.
Portland. Man Knocked Dottk
Electric Current.
ir
B. M. Phillips, an employe of the street
cleaning department, was knocked down
by an electric shock on the Morrison
street bridge Monday night, and is now
laying up for repairs at his home, 263
Front street. He was in the tfet of shovel
ing rubbish into a cart when he stepped
on a street-car track and was thrown
heavily to the ground and It was several
seconds before he regained consciousness.
A trolley wire had broken a short dis
tance from where he was working, and,
falling across the track, set a powerful
current In his direction. He wore rub
ber soles on his shoes, and to this trifling
circumstance he attributes his escape
from Instant death.
Yesterday the Injured man was con
fined to his bed and complained of severe
pains In his left side. His left leg is
swollen and left ear has gone to buzzing
Instead of confining Itself to Its- leglU
mate business.
The City & Suburban Company, he says,
has been very kind to him, sending him
a physician at their own expense and
otherwise seeing to his wants. He Is a
man of family, and an old resident of
Portland. He hopes to te about again
within a few weeks. ,

H. D. Burrows, who has a homestead
In township 6 north, range 2 west. In the
vicinity of Goble, says his neighbors are
delighted with the prospect of a railroad
going by their places toward Nehalem.
About 60 men are now engaged In clear
ing the right of way and constructing the
grade, and as the work Is being done
by a logging company, trees and stumps
are removed with rapidity. A powerful

afterward- blown out with powder and
served the same way.
An easy grade has been found by the
surveyors, not mora than 4 per cent b
Ing encountered at the steepest places,
and he has confidence In the company's
ability to push the road clear- to Neha
lem without delay.
The township In question Is all owned
In small parcels, and these will make the
finest kind of farms, once the trees and
stumps hav& been- removed. It was a
portion of a tract forfeited by the Oregon
St. California Road In. 18S5 In consequence
of not having built the railroad In ac
cordance with the terms of the grant.
When this new rotd is built, Mr. Bur
rows says, It will tap a country rich In
timber, farming and stock resources, and
will add considerably to the' population
tributary to Portland.
Attempted Hold-Up on a Bridge.
Thugs who were evidently seeking easy
game attempted to rob a one-armed man
last evening about 8 o'clock on the east
approach, of the Morrison bridge. At tho
time the stranger was accompanied by a
woman companion. She screamed, and
the one-armed man resisted so vigorously
that the thugs ran. Neither of the latter
seemed armed with any weapon more seri
ous than a club. The one-armed man re
ceived an ugly blow over one eye, whlcn
raised a welt. At the place wfaere the at
tack was made there aro many peopla
usually all evening. With, -the large
crowds that crossed and recrossed tho
bridge last evening., some person must
have been close. The attempt was made
near a fruit store. As no telephone could
be found near, the man returned to the
both of the brldgetenders and reported th
I matter to the police. No trace of the rob
bers could be found.
ARITHMETIC AND FOOD.
School Children Must Be Better Fe
A young girl In Newport, Ind. Miss
Ethel Thornton, says no one has a better
right to speak of Grape-Nut3 food than
W
f
I
she. "I was in school, but In poor nealth, 5
until mamma began to give me Grape- j
Nuts food. I began to Improve at once,
both mentally, and physically, and I In?
prpved so In my work at school that I got
100 in arithmetic, and during that time I
gained three or four pounds in weight,
and am still gaining.
There is no one has a right to-recom-mend
the food more highly than
Mamma neglected to supply It for about
three weeks, and I began to fail in health
again, so I commenced the use of the
food over, and now I don't intend to do
without Grape-Nuts on the table.'
It Is -well for parents to know that
Grape-Nuts food contains selected ele
ments from the grains, prepared and
cooked In such a way a3 to present these
food elements so that they can be quickly
digested and assimilated; the phosphate
of potash obtained -from the field grains,
and contained In Grape-Nuts, unites with
the albumen of food to quickly rebuild the
gray matter in tho nerve centers and
brain.
It Is of the greatest importance that
growing children and students be. given
food that sustains both brain and nerves.
