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

inmatei of the City Park. It will not

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

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

DAKaraous ilATrniAL. 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.
Bo I went down town, got a few drinks,
and went home and raised seven different

MINES AROUND SUMPTER.
"W. S. Xevrberry Says They Are Good
Properties.
W. S. 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.

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

"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

road yard and asked him whence he
came. They got no Information. The
next morning he was there, and the text

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

CITY. 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.

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. Mr. Whltriey
was one; the newly-made country bride
groom was another. Whenever they
passed, on their walk on the boards, the
youthful countryman leered at Mr. Whit
ney with a knowing grin. Finally he
walked up to him and, giving him a vig
orous punch In the ribs, chucklngly ex
claimed, to the wealthy man's consterna
tion: "Well, we're both of us in tho same
boat I feet"
