Patino PisrjyQTnan? 3U3aB.BelinquBnt taxes are being paid In -wrhat the coirn.tr officials consider a very satisfactory man ier. The delinquent roll was opened for collection a week ago today, and up to yesterday something over $39,000 had. been paid in. The roll will necessarily be closed November 1, bo there is still a lull -week In which to pay, and It Is expected that the money -will come in fast during this "week, and that on the last day more win be paid in than during all the other daye slnce the roll -was open. If delinquent pay their taxes by November 1 the costs will be merely nominal, but if payment is not made by that time, the cost of the levy, mileage, advertising, etc, "will b added, and a 10-cent tax -will have-?! costs added to it or more. The clerks are Jilready preparing notices to levy, as prop erty has to be advertised four weeks, and the sales must bo completed within W days from October 16. People desiring to pay delinquent taxes will greatly ra cllitate matters by bringing a list of their property with them, as there is no index to the delinquent roll. If every one would pay his taxes promptly, the country would be a perfect heaven on -earth except to officials. Akton Schott'jj Recitals. -The second concert of the series takes place this -evening at the armory of Bishop Scott Academy. The evening will be devoted entirely to Wagner. Among the numbers which Anton Schott will give is the love ly love song from "The Walkyrie," the beautiful prize song from "The Meister singer'' and "Grail Naration" from ' Lo hengrin," etc., all old favorites, while others, such as a scene from "P-heilgold," are quite new to Portland audiences. Herr Schott will be assisted by Mrs. Eleanor Ross, of Astoria, who will sing Adriano's" aria from "Rienzi," the great Materna's favorite piece, and also Senta's balloo. irom "The -Flying Dutchman," which bal lad has led to fame many a young so prano. Miss Ottille Schuecklng and Miss Marie Velguth will accompany, and Mfc. "Vannod will explain. As these concerts are of an educational nature, Herr Schott has kindly consented to admit teachers and scholars at half price. They can ob tain tickets at the door on presentation of a card from the principal of their respective schools. Salmon Trout- FxsHHj. -Tho rains will bring up a fresh run of salmon trout, and fishermen axe purchasing stout bamboo rods and preparing to enjoy some good sport. There -has been excellent fishing for these salmon trout or Fall trout In the Clackamas this season. The best sport is to be obtained by taking a boat away tip the river above the hatchery and cruising leisurely down. By aid of tho boat, one is able to reach many fine bits of fishing from islands, gravel bars, etc, and in deep pools, which cannot be reached by one fishing .along the shore. Good sport has also been enjoyed a short distance above the "Vancouver ferry, on ' the Columbia. The salmon trout is not such a lively fish as the mountain trout, and less delicate tackle is used in fishing for him, and there is a very general ten dency on the part of fishermen to lana them when hooked by main strength and awkwardness, and to waste no time play ing them, enough time being wasted as a general thing in waiting for them to bite. Check Up Street Cleajong. Accounts of the work done by the street-cleaning department are now kept in a very thor ough manner. Superintendent E. S. Fer guson prepares daily reports of the amount of work done by the two day gangs of scrapers and the gang wltu carts, as well as the night gang. These reports show the number of hours' work done by each gang, the number of men airiployeoT in each, the number' of blocks cleaned, on what streets they are and the kind of pavements; also the number of brooms, carts, horses, etc, in use, the number of loads averaged by each hor&v and cart, the total length of streets cleaned daily and, in short, every detan connected with the operation of the de partment. These reports enable the com mittee on street cleaning to grasp every detail of the work done at a glance ana llow no opportunity for shirking. Laborers Willi Bh Paid. Laborers and mechanics" who worked on the boat Klickitat, of the Central Navigation & Construction Company, will receive their money. Testerday Judge Sears ordered Court Clerk J. P. Kennedy to turn over of the amount received from the sale of the boat 54630 to James Gleason, attorney for John Maxwell, who holds an assign ment of the laborers' claims. In the case -of E. E. McClure, superintendent or con struction of the craft, Judgment by de fault in his favor for $1233 was rendered. After the payment of the $4630, there re mains $1870. The suits filed aggregate about $20,000. Who will get the balance of the money is yet to be determined. The claims of laborers have a preference under the law, and McClure's is one of mat class. ONX.Y One of Brtan. Hundreds of portraits of McKInley and Roosevelt are displayed in the windows of residences in the southern part of the city. On miles of streets scarcely a house can be found where these portraits are not dis played. So far no one has been heard of who displays a portrait of Bryan ex cept Howard Winters, and he Is such an inveterate joker that no one supposes he intends anything but a joke by his dis play. In that part of the city men who say they are going- to vote for Bryan are scarcer than hen's teeth, and when one is" found he Is looked upon as a curio. Concordia Ladies' Night. The Con cordia Club has been entertaining tho women friends of its members and in tends to devote every second and fourth Tuesday evening of each month to their enjoyment. Under the new arrangement, the first affair, given on October 9, provea to be most enjoyable. The large dance hall was nicely decorated, and Parsons' orchestra furnished the music The bowl ing alleys were again opened, and great enthusiasm prevailed, notwithstanding the usual number of hard-luck stories about tho Inevitable centers. The next reception will be held tonight. Children to Be- Placed Out. In the past week nine children were received at the receiving borne of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, and while seven were placed, .yet it leaves the number still on nand 54. Of this number. 21 are boys and only 13 girls. The children Tange in age from 3 to 16 years. Applications from desirable families for any of these will bo promptly attended to by calling in person at the receiving home, cornei Thirty-first and East Ankeny streets, or by calling up telephone East 5. Sunday's Hunting. The late severe wind storm, as expected, blew in a large number of ducks of all kinds from tno coast, and sportsmen enjoyed a very good day's hunting Sunday. In some places, where the lakes were too low, the ducks did not flook in, but everybody secured some There is likely to be good duck shooting from now on till a cold snap comes to start the ducks south, but as long as they are well fed, .cold feet are oi going io rxoume them much. Fbui Oft Street - Car. a. A.

The License Officers were out yesterday notifying de linquents to come up and pay their bus iness licenses at once. If this matter is not attended to promptly, arrests will follow.

Mystifies a Large Audience "With. Evidence of Hi Power. iee, the hypnotist, entertained, amused and thoroughly mystified a very large audience last- night at the Marquam Theater. Lee puts no frills on his work, uses jio cabalistic signs, butnevertheless he succeeds pretty thoroughly In what ever he undertakes In the hypnotic line, judging from the effects upon his coterie of subjects last night. His entertainment begins with a' desser tatlon upon hypnotism, psychology, men. talogy, or1 whatever name It may be called, going Into its history, 'lis uses and abuses, and finally its aims'and ob ject at the present day, looked at from a scientific standpoint Next, volunteers from the audience were called for, and 15 men, all young fellows, took seats upon the stage. Then the fun began. The power of suggestion was first ex emplified by the whole number at the will of the hypnotlzer being unable to pull their clasped hands apart. All their mouths were opened and remained so un til Lee snapped his fingers. Sleep 'was next suggested and the'whole "bunch was soon In the land of nod. While they were in -this condition many side-splitting things happened. 'Snuff was sug gested upon their awakening; then all sneezed until told to stop.Hot chairs, were imagined and all sorts of squirm-' Ing took place. Following the antics camethe operation upon the subject a young mail who travels with Lee. The subject was thrown into a cataleptic sleep, rigidity of mus cles was suggested and the subject was suspended by his head and feet from the back of two chairs.- Four men then stood upon his legs, their weight showing no effect whatever. Then Lee tackled the audience. Squat ting upon the stage and swaying from side to side, as the Hindoo magicians do, he soon had five or six of his audience fast asleep and dozens were very drowsy. A few snaps of the fingers and a sug gestion of awakening soon had the sleep- .ers as chipper as ever. Volunteers were put through a few more stunts, such as dancing the skirt dance and cake walk, then the aforesaid subject was placed on a cot on the stage, thrown into a cataleptic sleep and will re main so until Wednesday night. He may be seen In one of the show windows of a dry goodg house in tho downtown sec tion. Hypnotism, with its accompanying fun producing and mystifying scenes, will be practiced by Lee for the remainder of the week, including a matinee on Saturday. METHODIST MINISTERS MEET Paper on "Is the Human Family 3Io.lt Ing Prosre?" The Methodist Episcopal preachers' meeting of Portland and vicinity was held at the Y. M. C. A. rooms yesterday morn ing, Rev. W. T. Kerr in the chair. Rev. B. J. Hoadley, by appointment, con ducted the devotional exercises. Rev. C. E. Cline, D. D., read a hope ful paper, "Is the Human Family Mak ing Progress?" Reference was made by the paper to increasing population, show ing safety against disease, better food and shelter, two victories of advancing intelligence, the overthrow oX human slavery in America and abroad and to events In China all for good. He said war is not an unmixed evil, and that peo ple do not become drunk as formerly, .nd that the Latin type of civilization is growing; law Is improving, the aged and children are better cared for, and com merce is Christianized. The spirit of in quiry abroad is doing good in making theology progressive, and religion Is mak ing better perspectives, and the age Is distinguished for applied Christianity. Most of the preachers who followed In the discussion sided with the paper. Rev. B. J. Hoadley thought "the age was greater in material things than In spiritual quality. Rev. Dr. Kellogg said Our ideas of spirituality are enlarging. Next Monday morning Rev. W. T. Kerr will read a paper on "The Future of the Weak Churches." Mer Sentiment Alone "Will Not Be Considered in Applications4 far BxemptioH-Nlffht Schools? Tfca vaccination question camo up again at the School Board meeting last night. Several parents sent requests asking that their children be excused from vaccina tion, accompanied by certificates of phy sicians that the health of the children was such that vaccination at this time would be injurious. One certificate was from a practitioner of osteopathy. It was suggested by Director Wittenberg that perhaps this physician does not believe in vaccination at all, and, if so, the re quest ought to be denied. It was voted to grant excuses in the other cases, but this was afterward reconsidered," the board deciding to ascertain whether any of these physicians favored vaccination at all before allowing the petitions. During the discussion Directors Thompson, Will iams and Wittenberg expressed them selves as being opposed to the entrance of any children into the schools without their first having been vaccinated. Mrs.'F. S. Brown submitted a commu nication stating that she had a bitter experience in her mother's family with vaccination In two cases. One resulted In death after two years, and the other member of the family nearly lost an arm, and his life was still despaired of. "She stated that It was impossible for her to submit her two -children to vaccination and blood poisoning, and she was un able to send them to a private school. Unless they were admitted without vac cination, she would "have to keep them at home. They were bright, healthy chil dren. The request was denied. Competing: Wltli Private Schools. Maud Kenworthy, Nellie B. Fawcett, Zelma Shaver and other school teachers petitioned for the free use of the physi cal laboratory-room In the High School building to take lessons under D. P. Haynes. They offered to pay incidental expenses. Professor Warren stated that Miss Knox, the drawing teacher, desired tho use of her room for some teachers study ing under her. The matter was referred to Superin tendent Rigler, with power to act. Director Wittenberg asked If tuition was being paid, and Mr. Rigler answered that he so understood. Mr. Wittenberg said that was entering into competition with private scnoois, and he was opposed to It. Mr. Williams said the matter had been referred to the Superintendent, who would attend to It. Mr. Wittenberg remarked that In that ja.se the Superintendent will not grant the petition. Thirty requests for free .tuition were referred to the finance committee. Pnpil Teacher. P. L. Willis addressed the board, ask ing that Miss McKInnon, pupil teacher at Brooklyn School, be put on .half pay. He stated that she was doing more than pupil teacher's work, and had nearly Completed her two years of probation. Director Wittenberg said this was open ing up a precedent which might be an expensive one. If she had finished her apprenticeship, she was entitled to a place as teacher, and one would be found .for her before very long. It was better' to do that, and put in another pupil teacher. Director Thompson favored this course, saying there were 15 of these cases on .hand. Mr. Williams expressed similar views. Mr. Wittenberg said he was In favor of letting trie matter rest until an opening can be found for Miss McKinnqn. ' . Nisrlit Schppls., t The board .decided to open the night schools Monday evening, October 29, and the following persons were elected as principals and assistants: High School E. A.

Birrell, a Portland business man, who has just returned with his family from a trip to his former home' In Dun dee, Scotland, says times -are 'nqw con sidered very good 'in Great Britain. "The South African War has stimulated enter prise," he said, "and manufactories of all kinds are In full blast. The high price of coal Is severely felt by the poor and by those who have it to buy in large quantities for factories, but this Is the only drawback apparent. On the other hand the owners of the collieries are making a lot of monev and as hltrh ns 50 per cent dividends have been declared on the stock for this year. "Of course the National debt has piled up In the meantime but as this bill need not be paid just now. the people do not feel it. The recent elections in Great Britain prove that the Govern ment's course has been indorsed .In Its expansion proceeding in South Africa, but then England has been a great expander for centuries." Mr. Birrell says the British people are greatly interested In the American Presi dential campaign, and to a man hope to see McKInley re-ejected, though they opposed him four years ago, in his high protection theories. Throughout the Eastern States where Mr. BIrreJl stopped off, he noticed that the campaign was Interfering with busi ness in a great measure, apd that times wee not so good as six months previ ously, when he passed through on the way to the old country. Confidence was expressed everywhere, however, in He publican success, as the interests of the country are too thoroughly identified with that party to permit of a change. "In all my travels I have seen no city to equals Portland as a desirable resi dence," Mr. Birrell said, "and my family and myself are exceedingly glad to get home again." 3frs. Watson, Optician.

The rainy season has evidently decided to commence business for the season and none too soon, for rain was needed and it is a blessing that it generally comes when it is needed. Those who Imagine that sometimes more comes than Is need ed should try living in the arid regions of Southern California Arizona or Texas ior a year or two. A scarcity of water for the ordinary necessities of life and the cheerless aspect of bare, sunbaked soil, month in and month out, will make them long for Oregon and feel contented when they return. People who never knew what It is to lack water cannot imagine the misery of living In an arid region. A Los Angeles woman who has been visiting Portland goes Into ecstacles over the plentiful supply of pure sweet water affbrded the people of this city. It s such a luxury to have all. the water she wants to wash In, she says, and she feels like washing and dabbling in it all day long. When told by her that there has practically been no rain In Los Angeles for five years, one does not wonder at her enthusiasm on the water" question. A former Portland, woman who has for several years resided in El Paso. Tex.. and who Is now on a visit to friends here, is very happy to be where It ,ralns ohcq flower gardens - nor green grass - in El Paso, and a shower of rain is almost an unknown thing there. For drinking wat er' they have to pay 10 cents per gallon, and for other purposes they havO a not overabundant ,supply of alkali water. -El Paso is much such a, section as Denver used to be. The principal things lacking to make It a desirable place of residence being water and good society, which is supposed to be the condition of things in a place the name of which is un mentionable. An Oregon "woman who has been so journing for a time in Santa Barbara County, California, says that farmers there .who used to sit up all night to dip from their wells a scanty supply of water for their families and their stock, used to "chaff her about the rain in Or egon and about her webbed feet. She had only feelings 'of compassion for these weather-checked and season-cracked spec imens of humanity, and thinks of them with pity when ' the Oregon clouds pour their generous treasures down, clothing the land with never-falling verdure and assuring bounteous harvests. WORKS IN EXTENSIVE FIELD Oinratlons of Pacific Coast Company Officers in Portland. President and General "Manager J. D. Farrell and Traffic Manager J.' G. Wood worth, of the Pacific Coast Company (for merly the .Oregon Improvement), arrived on the steamer from San Francisco yes terday afternoon. They were accompanied by their wives. Mr. and MT3. Farrell 'left on the evening train for Seattle, and Mr. and Mrs. Woodworth remained at the Portland Hotel. Mr. Woodworth left Se attle in August for a trip to Cook Inlet, Alaska. From Alaska he came down to San Francisco without stopping at Pu get Sound, and he is Just now getting back home. The Pacific Coast Company, of which Mr. Woodworth Is traffic manager, owns the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, to which the steamship State of California, that is to be withdrawn from the Portland-San Francisco route next week, be longs. He said the State of California is one of the fastest ships on the Coast, and she is greatly in demand for service where the competition Is keener. For the Winter she will on the Southern Califor nia run, and next Spring it is the Inten tion to put her on the route between Se attle and Skagway. As the O. R. & N. Co.'s ships could handle all the traffic on the, Portland-San Francisco route, and the State of California was needed else where, it seemed unwise to keep the ship here. ' Mr. Woodworth was formerly general freight agent of the O. R. & N., but left that company a year or more ago for Tils present position. While his head of fice is in Seattle, the company operates In such a wide field that he finds It nec essary to travel a good deal. It has 126 miles of rail lines In the Puget Sound country, 76 miles of railroad in Southern California, and 'ieams'hlp lines from Cape Nome to Guaymas, Mexico. H. B. LITT.

Miller & Co., publishers and book importers, have established Pacific Coast headquarters in Portland. S. C. Miller, the senior and resident member of the firm, was for years president of the Na tional Publishing Company, of Chicago. Extensive as were the operations of that company, Mr. Miller is of the opinion that the Pacific Coast offers even greater im mediate and future opportunities for the book business. S. C. Miller & Co. will bo tho special representatives on the Coast Jtor Eastern publishers. One firmly es tablished principle of the new firm is that all Its business shall be conducted on a strictly legitimate basis. Much that has partaken of an indirect and Illegitimate character has crept Into the practices of some, publishers' agencies In recent years, and Mr. Miller Is determined to Intro duce and maintain his old-time straight forward, honest methods in the new field. This field' Is a large one, covering Ore gon, Washington, California, Idaho, Mon tana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. All will be operated from the home offices In Portland. The company will . control the ' distribution, throughout this territory, of most of the latest and best subscription books pub lished in the United States. A dally in creasing office force Is now engaged, at the headquarters In the Marquam build ing, In facilitating the distribution of two timely books, one a description of the Galveston horror, the other a complete and interesting volume dealing with cur rent Chinese massacres and troubles.
