Duck 52312 out In ul1 force yesterday, out with iHm hopes of a good day's shoot JPC as the -weather -was too fine to be mvorable, tund as there has been a. suc cession of bright moenllght nights during ne past week, the ducks have been feed ing at night, and so will not care about oontfng In to be shot on Sunday. How ever, as they have been regularly fed every day at no small expense, the hunt ers will try to get even on their outlay to some extent at least, and It Is possible they may have a fair day's shooting. Cap tain Riley opened the shooting season yesterday on his preserves at the Dedad willows Lakes, where he has sorao 1C00 acres to shoot over. Duck hunters who Have preserves have their troubles like other people and It Is not long since one keeper Was found untrustworthy and two young men were- arrested whilo trespass ing on the preserves which had been neg leoted by the guardian. There Is also trouble in a syndicate of hunters which IS Ukfrly to prmlnntA In n lovr.i.lf ,A division of the shooting privileges. It Is J u iuai one oi ine syndicate goes flown to the preserve the latter part of tho Week and shoots his fill and scares away the ducks so that when the other mem bers go down Sunday they can get no ducks. They do not propose to put up tor wheat to feed ducks for their un scrupulous partner to shoot all by him elf and as one or more of the Injured parties are lawyers, thore is trouble ahead. In fact It is reported that the papers are being propared and a suit "lll be filed In the state court In a few days to settle the rights and the wrongs of the members of this syndicate. Street Raiuioad "Work. The Portland Traction Company have finished laying ore of the tracks of tho Fifth-street ex tension as far south as Sherman street Vhere the line turns down to Second street. Instead of continuing this track to the First-street bridge they will now urn back and lay the second track from Jefferson street up to Sherman, and when both tracks are completed to this point they will begin running cars on the exten sion. The City & Suburban Railway Com pany commenced work on the. line they aro to build down First street from Brnside to Flandors, up Flanders to Sev enth, and north on Seventh to the Grand Central Railroad Station, but about the time they had excavated the trench for one track the length of a block they were topped by the City Engineer, who told them that the rails they had provided would not do and that the Board of Pub lic "Works would decide what style of rail ahould be used. The work Is therefore at a standstill, and as the Board of Pub lic "Works has not yet decided what style of rail It wants and as it will take- some time to get the rails from the East after It has decided, tho company have asked for six months' extension of time in which to build the road. Their southerly exten sion of the First-street line to the bridgo at Sheridan street was completed soma tlmo ago, as far as the track-laying Is cencerned, and the wires could be strung In a few days, but It Is hardly likely that this part of the line will be put In oper ation until the northerly extension to the railroad station is completed. Kangaroos. A band of kangaroos, six In number, two males and four females, lately arrived from New South "Wales on a tramp steamer, has been secured by a bird and animal dealer of this city and they are now domiciled somewhero in town. It is alleged that they are the only genuine kangaroos on the Coast. There was a kangaroo or wallaby, which is a species of kangaroo. In the City Park at one time, but it pined for its kindred in the Antipodes, and died. There are enough in this band to keop them from being lonwom. and it Is not un llke'v that some day thay may become inmatei of the City Park. It will not da to let them get loose and take the tibk oi tnis state being overrun with kangaroos as some parts of Australia are. They would probably do very well on the CTttle ranges In Eastern Oregon, and might net be so destructive as the cayuse ponies. Inquiry has been made as to what Vould be the probable result of Belgian bares being turned loose In this state, whether they would overrun and lay It waste as the English hares did large sec tions In Australia. The probability is that they would not Tkelr cousins, the jackrabblts, have been roaming the plains oi iuasiern uregon since tne dawn of cre ation or thereabouts, and they have never amounted to much In any way. The Belgian hares are all raised pets and If turned out to shift for themselves would probably soon disappear. Good Run or Salmon Trout. Persons returning from a sojourn at Moffefs Springs at the Cascades, report having en joyed fine fishing for salmon trout and sll- veraiues in me creeK a lew yards rrom the springs. The late rains have filled the creek and there has been a fine run of B-h trout and salmon there.

A number of in surance agents here have received letters from the main offices In New York In re gard to the danger of quantities of cal cium carbide being stored in the city. Calcium carbide is the material used in manufacturing acetylene gas and If any quantity of It so should become wet ac cidentally, gas would be generated In quantity sufficient to blow up a bunaing or many building. In San Francisco there Is an ordinance limiting the amount of this article which may be stored In the city, but there Is no such ordinance here, and It is said that seven tons of it have bean stored In a warehouse on Front street at one time, enough, under favor able circumstances, to blow up the Whole of that part of the city. Chiof Camp bell, of the Fire Department, haa been notified of the danger of large quanti ties of this stuff being stored In the city and has taken the matter In band and has already caused removal of some of It to places of safety. While It Is not deflnltoly known what caused the terrible explosion In New York a short time ago, it seems to be the opinion of some that It was caused by calcium carbide, with which water had In some way come in contact and formed gas enough to fill tho base ment In which It was stored, and this gas was In some way "touched off." To Pickle Mors Houses. The horse slaughtering establishment at LJhnton, which was closed down some time, as was stated at that time, for good and all. Is to be reopened for a short season. Samuel Kinsman, who Is now sole proprietor of the concern, has concluded to start It up again to oblige a friend by slaughtering a thousand cayuse ponies, for which there Is no other use, and which when pickled In tierces will be put where they will do the most good. The horse slaughtering business has never proved so profitable a was expected, owing to the perverse ness of thoee European nations who eat horse flesh, who threw every obstacle in the way of its introduction under the pre tense of protecting home Industry- There have been a good many horses slaughtered at Linnton, and this has been a benefit to the ranges and the cattlemen of Eastern Oregon and Washington. When the abat toir at Linnton is closed down again It will bo forever. Mr. Kinsman will utilize the steam ensrlnes. buildings, etc. bv starting a fruit canning establishment. ' The location being accessible by both railroad and steamboats. Is very well adapted to a fruit canning enterprise, and It Is prabable that within a few years one of the largest establishments of the kind In this section will be In operation there. Salting Shad Rob. Salted shad roe is the latest thing In the line of fish prod ucts, and la likely to find favor with the public when put on the market There Is a great demand for fresh shad roe In the season, and the salted roe "comes near being as much of a delicacy as the fresh article. All that Is required is to soak it and fry it In butter the same as the fresh Is cooked, and only a connoisseur can perceive any difference. Fresh roe Is used all through the season, but Is best when It has reached the proper stage of development. When too young or too old It Is not so good. The ealted roe Is put up at seining grounds down the Columbia where tons of sfa&d are often literally thrown away. Roe at lt8 best stage Is selected and salted, and those who have had an opportunity to test Its merits speak highly of It. So far shad have kept increasing in size and numbers every year since they were planted in the Columbia, but whether the seine" which are proving so effective In aiding the extermination of the salmon will be able to diminish seriously the Increase in the schools of shad, remains to be seen. Caiis ok Madisok-Streot Bridge. Street-car traffic has been resumed on Madison-street bridge and Oregon City, passengers are no longer transferred via Morrison street The block pavement has been laid on the new draw quite rapidly within the past week of fine days, and wfthin a week more teams can probably use the bridge again. The blocks are only three Inches In length on the draw, though on the stationary part of the bridge they are four Inches. A lessening of weight was the object of shortening the draw blocks, which have been treated to a bath of carbolaneum before beting put down. The Madison-street bridge -Rhen finished will be In first-class shape for heavy traffic, as Its foundations are con sidered solid and the entire structure will have been renewed. A coating of brown mineral paint Is now being applied to the supporting timbers of the new draw, which is said to be stronger than the old draw ever was on account of the addition of more sway-braces, which form an arch overhead. Perilous Plato;round. The gang of boys who are accustomed to make a play ground of the little court at the north west corner of the City Hall and run races on the stone railing there, are likely to come to grief In the near future. One section of this heavy stone railing Is en tirely disconnected with the others and is liable to fall at any time and not only to break the stones, but might fall on some of the boys and kill them. These railings appear to have been put up in a very flimsy manner, for the one on the northeast corner of the block which used to be much used as a seat by persons loafing there, came loose a long time ago and new fastenings had to be put In to hold It up. The railings appear massive enough to stand alone, but they cannot withstand the strain they are constantly subjected to, and are all In a tottery condition. The roiling at the northwest corner should be attended to Immediately or there will be serious damage there be fore long. Retaliated on His Mother-ix-TjAW. William Bryden, a Scotchman, was taken In custody last evening as the result of a family disturbance. Bryden told his own story: "Well, my mother-in-law threw a panful of dish-water In my face. I can stand my mother-in-law, but not a panful of dish-water In my face.

Newberry, now a mining man Qt Sumpter, Is spending a few days at the Imperial. He Is connected with the As toria & Melbourne Mining Company which has Its base of operations wlth:n alx milts of Sumpter. Mr. Newberry says the value of the ore at a depth oi 80 foet Is $00 per ton, although at the surface the assays gave it but tit The ledge Is 20 feet wide and the Indications point to Its widening as the miners pen etrate Into the mountain. Ha shows large photographs of the entrance to the tunnel, which Is surrounded by a large force of worklngmen, while the building devoted to the bunkhouse. cook house and messhouse looks the picture of comfort and convenience, though bultl of logs, after the style of the pioneer settlers of Oregon. Mr. Newberry says that conditions In the Sumpter district are different from those of any of other mining district in the country and experts who come in from Colorado, Montana or California are consequently often deceived by ap poerances, and thus condemn what they know nothing about The number of producing mines in that vicinity, how ev.r, proves the value of the district and Indicates the permanency of Eastern Oregon gold mines. Mr, Newberry will remain in Portland a few days. WHERE TO DIN2. The Portland restaurant has been re dfcoraed and improved. It Is the best place for lunches. 353 Washington.

It Is of the Vintage of ;'S7, sad la Offered to Chamber of Commerce. for Only $GO,000. The Chamber of Commerce of this city Is at present in a greater quandary than ever before, and it has been in some pretty tight places in days gone by. Tne particular proposition which the Chamber is now "up agin" is explained in tne following letter: "Walla Walla, Wash., Nov. 3the, UOX Hon Pres of Chamber of Commarce, Port land Oregon Gentleman: Allow me to call youre attenchen to the fact that I hav a Hair Ball, a bout the third of the sis of a apple which I tuck from the Ponch of b. Buffalo In 15S7 on the head waters ef the Big Blue, In the Pan hanale of Texas. I showed this Ball to Prof. Sterling oi thjs city &. he was much taken with It & advised me to plaice it In a posishlon some way that the People Could driVe som benefit from it Mr. Sterling als ad vised me to offer it for g&le to you, or through you, it Is no dout one of the grbaltest and most wondecfoul spscement that ever existed. "I value this Specimant at Elxtey Thou, sand tW,000 Dehors. If you car to eh' teruine this propishion pleas let me heare from you & In what way or on what terms. "Youres Very Respectfulley, "A. M. MUNDKT.U "P. S. "I am also a Inventer. "A. M. M.M The Chamber has had little to worry It of late, nothing more serious than the fcecuring of a dcydock for th city er an other dredge for improving the rivers, but this proposition calls for serious at tention and the united mental efforts Of the brainiest men In the Chamber. This opportunity to secure a hair ball all feel should not be lost. There may be other hair balls, but none of the vintage of ISSi, and no other secured on. the head waters of the Big Blue. There la a diversity of opinion in regard to this unique, precious and valuable relle among the members of the Chamber tt Com merce. Some advise that an offer of $30, 00) be made for It, while others think that an offer of U would secure it There Is also a difference of opinion as to where to place It so that the greatest amount of good may be derived from it by the greatest number of people. As one buffalo monopolized the benefits of the precious Ball, some allege that there Is only enough of the ball for one person, and suggest that the present owner swallow It himself, and that Up make a will bequeathing X to the City Jfuseum or the Chumber of Commerce at his death, which would probably oecur oon afterward. President Taylor, of the Chainber of Commerce, la very anxious that the treas ure be secured for that body, as he has an Idea that Celonel Hawkins will, as soon as he learns of the existence of this wonderful specimen, at ence proceed to lay plans to secure it for the City Free Museum, and everybody knows that when the Colonel gets on the trail of a curio he never stops till he has secured It As there is need of Immediate aotion In the matter. It Is possible that President Tay lor may deem It advisable to call a pub lic meeting to devise ways and means for securing money to purchase, the hair ball and there can be no doubt as to the readi ness of .every man, woman and child in Portland to turn Into a fund for thiB purpose all the money that has been saved up for Christmas, presents. Christ mas will come again, but the hair ball once lost Is lost forever. GUEST OF A CORPORATION. Vemernble Hobo Whose Home Is "With Tcrminul Ooipan7". While the Northern Pacific Terminal Company is not exactly a charitable in stitution, it has for the last 10 years fur nished board and lodging free to one man who has never seen fit to make any return for what he has received. It Is doubtful If this pensioner has a name. He would consider such a thing purely an unessential luxury which could be very well dispensed with, and If he ever owned one he probably discarded It years ago. His mission in Ufa Is to keep him- self well fed, clothed Indifferently and provided with & place to sleep. This he does at the expense of the Terminal Com pany, and probably will do till he wakes up some morning and finds himself on the far side of the Great Divide. He first found shelter with his present hosts about six or aeven years ago. The car repairing crew found Mm one mornv. Ing sleeping peacefully under the mate rial house at the north end of the rail road yard and asked him whence he came. They got no Information. The next morning he was there, and the text and finally he became one of the Institu tions of the place, and was regarded as e. permanent lodgr. When meal- time came around he would repair to the car cleaning department and partake of the remains of travelers' lunches which were thrown from the car. Thus he enjoyed olives, deviled ham and other, dellcaciea which do not usually fall to the lot t the hobo. After he had been a lodgeji long enough to become one of the boys he began to wander around over the tracks at unseemly hours, to the great prejudice jot the peaee of rslnd of the engine crews, who feared that they might have to gather hlrn up In a bushel bas ket every time the switch engine passed. So ifanager Lyons rennded him up one day and sent him to the poor farm. But he longed for the' clanging Dcllsr the shrieking whistles and the rumbling Tlie Terminal Company!

PUPILS XT WOODSTOCK Will Be Schooled for S BachEast Side Affairs. At a meeting of about 30 voters of the Woodstock school district Saturday night It was decided to instruct the Directors to accept the offer of the city district of tho state and county tax as tuition on pupils from the city district There ere 10 pupils attending who are affected by this action. The offer amounts to about JS a year on each pupil. The best of feel ing prevailed at the meeting. The situa tion of the pupils, Isolated as they are from any city school, was taken Into con sideration, and to compel them to, pay additional tuition was considered a hard ship. J. A. Strowbrldgo asked that two children from a section In the southeast also be admitted on the same terms, which request was granted. After the meeting adjourned, the Di rectors came together to carry out the expressed wishes of the district The Clerk of the district was Instructed to Inform the Board of Directors of the city district that the terms had been ao cepted. At this meeting alto there was some Informal discussion of the matter of a pupil from the Woodstock district attending the High School and paying $40 per year tuition. It was considered proper that she should be admitted on the same terms as the 10 outside pupils are now admitted to tho Woodstock School. No action was taken, but the matter may come up again. "Will Raise Fine Poultry. Professor Wlnchell, who has been the principal of the Oresham. public school for several years, says that he will re tire from the public schools at the close of the present year. He haa established a plant on the Powell's Valley road, a short distance east of Gresham, for the purpose of raising fine poultry. It has been over a year since he first started that business, and he haa mode quite a success of the venture. Last year he raised over 1000 chickens of tho finest breed, and had no serious losses. This Spring he. put up some more buildings, and haa prepared to engage in the busi ness on a mors extended scale than ever. Having made a thorough study of han dling chickens-, Mr, Wlnchell concluded he could make a success on a larger scale. His ranch Is kept free frpm vermin, and his poultry is always healthy and in goed condition. He has five acres, which ore divided up into compartments, so that poultry of different ages may be sep arated. Run in connection with hi du ties aa pxinolpal of the Oresham School, it keeps him very bus?, and he has de cided to devote his time to poultry-raising. Alarm System Completed. The local fire-alarm system at the Sun nyslde hosehouee has been completed, after much delay. The number of the fiUnnyslde box is 24S. If is so arranged that all the signals of the, large bejl are not repeated at Suhnyslde, but there Is a switch under the control of the driver, who remains at the house all the tlm, by which outside 'fire alarms may be repeated at Suhnyslde. It Is not necessary that the SunnyBtde hose com pany should be called out for an alarm entirely outside of its territory, but only in case of fire within its own limits. The members of the company are all volun teers except the driver, and to call them out at every alarm would not be Just When a paid company Is. stationod at Sunnyslde, it will then be different If a fire starts at Sunnyslde or in that neigh borhood, the driver tUrn in an alarm. There is something gained by this' local alarm system, as it places that district In. direct communication with the down town companies, but the efficiency of the company can only be promoted by having a better pressure on the mains, and the time is also not far off when a paid company will hav to be stationed at Sunnyslde. The territory there Is build ing up rapidly, and cannot be protected by a volunteer hose company, especially when the pressure will not admit of a stream of wajter belnfr thrown much over 20 feet The general Improvement of streets at and about Sunnyslde will soon permit the use Of an engine In that ter ritory, but if the move to get a good pressure on the water mains succeeds, it will greatly help matters.

Edward Dicey m the Fortnightly Review. No man ever took his work m6re se riously than Charles Russett. He threw his whole heart Into any case he took op. His ollents interests were, for the time, as Important to him as -his own. To sit still, however, and to be Idle was not tn his nature. In common with many other men who lead busy, tiring and har assing lives, be found the best if not the only way, to obtain mental rest after his day's work was. over, was to en gage in some pursuit which for the time occupied his attention to the exclusion of every other. Every oardplayer will bear me out in saying that if you have troubles, caves, anxieties, responsibilities, which you would gladly put away from your thoughts for an interval, there Is no occupation so effective in securing this respite as that of playing for stakes, the loss or gain of which is not to you a matter of absolute indifference. .When your mental faculties are engaged in fol lowing the fall of the cards there Is no room within youf brain for reflecting on other matters. Of codrse, if one plays, one likes to win. I nfever met the player who did not There Is, however, all the dlftertpcc fn the world between the card player who plays to make money and the cardplayer who plays to win the game. By a"ll who khow him at the cardtable, Russell would be placed unhesitatingly In the latter category. He carried Into cardplaylng the same extreme dislike to being beaten which constituted ohe of the chief causes of his success at the bar. He was too high-minded a man to derive much pleasure from wining money fOr money's sake. But he enjoyed the ex .dtemtnt of the game. ' IN "OLE OLSON." Ben Hendricks Makes lfew Friends at the Metropolitan. First end hest of the Swedish comedy dialect plays to the theater-goers of this entire country Is "Ole "Olson." Upon the recurring visits it wears fresh raiment and the lines suggest alteration, but the piece is always hailed with manifest de light. Just as the standing-room-only house at the cozy little Metropolitan did last evening. It was an unusual over flow house, and all the seats wdre taken. With such hits as Ben Hendricks and his company of players, It Is no longer a question of how great the popularity of this amusement resort 1. With such an audience as laughed Itself out of 'con ventional shape at the facial contortions of the deliberate and smiling Hendricks and his witticisms last night, it is a pleasure to say good things of the fa miliar piece because it has been bur nished m good faith up to date. Tho Swedish Ladles' National Quartet is the glittering specialty of the comedy. They Introduce the last act with half a doeen melodious airs of their own coun try, and last evening, from a shear ef fort to avoid oh undue number of cur-taln-calls; they started Upon American National airs. It seemed as If the audi ence would not let them go. The quartet provides Vocal muslo that hah a pecu liarly sweet and alluring flavor when rendered In the native tongue. Two of ftie best were a lullaby- and a sleighing song. The quartet consists ot Stephanie Heden, Amelia Heden, tinea Peterson and Bilen Bydan. Mr. Hendricks, Miss Connolly, Mr. Farrell and Mr. Ryan also gave specialties enlivening the action of the play. Wh&t is commendable in Hendricks' work is that he does not havA to do much to start the laughter. He is somewhat of a play-arranger himself, and he has taken tho liberty of making some new and clever dialogue for his Ole, so that the ever-funny Swede' is brought Up to dato. Miss Bertie Conway makes an accept able soubrette. William Ryan plays Dr. Shihgle with praiseworthy spirit Guy L. Lewis and Frank F. Farrell aa Jefferson Bassett are villainous enough to suit the purpose of the serious situations. -Ote Olson" will be on all week, with a Saturday matinee. Countryman Was Not Deceived. When William C. Whitney, statesman, millionaire, and ex-Secretary of the Navy, was married to Miss Payne, of Cleveland, the COuple agreed to act like "old mar ried folks" on that wedding Journey and not givo themselves away to their felldw pacsengers, relates the Saturday Even ing Post The train stopped at several stations before reaching Buffalo, and at one of ttienx a newly-married country couple came aboard, after being pelted to the very doors of the car with showers of rice by a throng ot laughing friends, All this did not embarrass them in the least. They merely looked supremely happy, and then, as the train pulled out proceeded to bill and. coo Unrestrainedly. The other passengers either smiled or looked annoyed, but to all manifestations, whether pleasant or otherwise, the couple paid ho attention. They wert Just mar ried and they didn't care Who knew It "How ridiculous we should be, ft we were making an exhibition like that of ourselves 1" said Mr. Whitney. "We are too sensible for that No one can pos sibly suspeot that we are Just, married I" "No orte can possibly suspect It" agreed Mrs. Whitney. How wise we were to decide to keep the fact to ourselves!" At Erie the train stopped for some min utes on account of a hot box, and a few of the passengers got out and walked up and down the platform.
