OFFERED THEIR EXCUSES PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS BI PIA.Hf ABSENCE FROM DUTY. Some Are Referred Boole for Fur ther Explanation Salaries of a Few Raised. Every member of the School Board was present at the session last evening, and a lively interest- was taken in each propo sition presented and in each case a de cision was reached after arguments pro and con. The vaccination question was settled for the third time, several teach ers were raised in salaries, free tuition was granted to a number of applicants, new seats ordered for several school rooms, and other mattters of routine sou tied. The first matter that came up was the excuses offered by the teachers who had been absent during school hours from various causes. Several had attended weddings or funerals of "very dear friends." One had a new reason. The landlady at her boarding-house usually kept the clock half an hour fast. The day in question she had turned the clock back to the correct time. The unknow ing schoolteacher reckoned on a half hour's leeway and was late by 30 min utes. The entire frankness of this excuse -was appreciated by the board and readily cranted. The others were referred back to the writers, requesting them to be more specific, by giving names of their friends whose funerals or weddings they had attended. The vaccination question bobbed up serenely, despite the decided squelchlngs of the past meetings. A dozen applica tions for exemption were received. In cases when the physician furnishing the certificate of 111 health wajn known by the members ef the board te be conscien tiously opposed to vaccination, his certlfl crte was not deemed sufficient, and sev eral applicants were advised to consult the City Physician. Others were not spe cific as to the nature and cause of the ill-health suffered by the children, and mora definite information was reqi -sted. A few were granted when the children were afflicted with scrofulous diseases, or such ailments as bronchitis. The following changes were authorized s to the salaries and personnel of the teaching force: The resignation of Miss Isabel McEwan, of the Clinton Kelly school, to date from November 30, was accepted. Janitor Wllhelm, of the South Portland School, was raised in salary from, $22 CO to $30 a month, having taken an extra room. Miss Helmbach, of the South Portland School, was raised in sal ary from half pay to full pay. Principal Aldersen. of the same school, was raised from $TO0 to $S00, following out the reg ular scale fixed by the board. City Super intendent Rigler's appointment of Mrs. Victor as assistant in the night classes of the Central School was confirmed, and salary fixed at $30 a month. The salary of Principal Jameson, of the Thompson School, was raised from $1250 to $1400, hav ing stood at the former figure when he was In charge of the smaller Thompson School. The salaries of the Janitors of the night schools were fixed at last year's figures, approximately $3 a month for each room cared for. A merry little tilt occurred between Di rectors Thompson and Beach when the question of securing new seats for one of the rooms in the Thompson School came up. City Superintendent RIgler recom mended that this be done. He also added that the first grade room in the North Central School had the poorest equipment as to seating of any room in the city. Di rector Beach championed the cause of the North Central School. Thompson made this rejoinder: "I propose to see that the Thompson School Is well provided with seats. If the district can't do It, I shall do it my self, and let the champion of the North Central School Go the same for his." By a compromise both rooms in ques tion were finally ordered furnished with necessary' equipment. The following students were granted free tuition: Edith Hill. Ethel Hill. Edith Kempt, Irene Hlggins, Ada Overstreet, Cora if. Thompson and Ellen Johnson. The various schools were authorized to receive Thanksgiving donations from the pupils for the Children's Home. Baby Home, and Boys and Girls' Aid Society. The accumulated bills were audited and ordered paid. The South Portland and Fulton Park Schools were ordered sup plied with drawing models. The type writing of the School Clerk's census re port was authorised, after which the board adjourned. American author. "It is described as a "romance of the Confederacy," and its scenes are laid in Richmond, Va., during the War of the Rebellion. It is one of the most absorbing dramas ever put upon the stage, and audiences are held spell bound by It from the rise of the first to the fall of the last curtain. It is Intense and thrilling In character, but is relieved by frequent delicious comedy scenes, which Gillette knows so well how to write. "A Divorce Colony" Is a new play by Sydney Rosenfeld, author of "The Senator," "A Possible Case," "The Club Friend" and other well-known plays. His latest work, aside from "A Divorce Colony," is "A Modern Crusoe," in which Roland Reed was starring when seized with the illness which now keeps him In a hospital. Mr. Rosenfeld calls "A Divorce Colony" a "farcical romance of South Dakota." It was produced for the first time on any stage at the Grand Opera-House, San Francisco, by Mr. Frawley last week, and proved to be an extremely ludicrous affair. ""Madame Sans Gene" and "The Senator" are both familiar to Portland playgoers, and have been features of previous Frawley sea sons. Mr. Frawley, who originated the part of Lieutenant Schuyler in "The Sen ator," now plays the title role, and it is said to be one of the best things he has ever done. Already the demand for seats for the Frawley week is heavy, and all signs point to immense business for this popular organization. "A Trip to CUlnntovrn The company to present "A Trip to Chinatown" at the Marquam is not the same as any other organization which has appeared here this season. The en gagement opens Thursday and continues Friday and Saturday, with a Saturday matinee. The sale of seats opens today at 10 o'clock. .

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE. COMING ATTRACTIONS. Tit JFraivleT Repertoire. The Frawley repertoire, at Cox-dray's Theater for the -week beginning next Sun day night, has bean arranged as follows: "Secret Service," Sunday, Monday, Tues day and Wednesday night and for the Saturday matinee; "The Senator," Thurs day; "Madame Sans Gene." Friday; and "A Divorce Colony," Saturday night. These plays ere all amongst the great est successes ever produced by Mr. Fraw ley, and two of them, namely, "Secret Service" and "A Divorce Colony." have never been seen here before. The first of these is by William Gillette, the au thor of "Held by the Enemy," "Too Mueh Johnson, "All tha Comforts of Some," "Sherlock Holmes" and other plays. "Secret Service" is a military , piece, and Is generally admitted to be the FtrlrJ-aven, Which Suffered Collapse After a Boom, Revives. D. Alberson, a Fairhaven, Wash., drug gist, -who, with his wife. Is spending a few days at the Perkins, says Fair haven has at last got safely over the crash subsequent to the boom times of ten years ago, and values are now es tablished on a sober basis. Fairhaven he says, at one time thought it was going to bo the terminus of the Great Northern. Railroad and J. J. Hill spent a good many thousand dollars there In property, -which gave the rest of tho real estate dealers a regular boom fever. Prices of land went up be yond reason aa far out as four miles from the business center, -where a 25-foot front even comprised an entire lot. Men made fortunes in a few weeks, but those who held on until the crash came were swamped, as many of them were heavily in debt and became unable to meet their interest payments. Fairhaven is about 100 miles north of Seattle, and 90 miles south of the Cana dian line. It has the largest salmon cannery on the coast, having a capaolty of 10.000 cases a day. It has also coal mines and lumbering camps tributary, although Whatcom, with 15,000 inhabit ants. Is only a few miles away. "Fair haven's population Is now 4000 and -we ex pect to build gradually and become quite a place. "Whatcom County las been in a bad way, financially, for several years baok because the big companies neglected to pay their taxes, and some of them dVed as much as O20,O00. They applied to the Legislature for relief from penalties, bnt that body being strongly Populistic, re fused to abate one Jot. Since then the companies have been making payments Into the county treasury, and having bonded our old debts we are now pay ing cash in running tho county ex pences." MISSION FOR NON-CATHOLICS Pan-tat Fathers "Will Take the "VTor-C Tomorrow at Alblna. The Catholics of the Immaculate Heart parish, Alblna, have been attending and enjoying the mission services conducted by the Paullst Fathers during the last 10 days. Tonight the Catholic mission closes -with the solemn renewal of the baptismal vows and the benediction of the pope. The church has been crowded, especially at night, to listen to the zeal ous and eloquent fathers, and an appre ciated feature of the exercises has been the congregational singing, in -which all have taken part with the greatest zest. Tomorrow evening (Wednesday) at 8 P. M. a mission for non-Catholics begins, and will last until Sunday evening. The doctrinal tenets of the Catholic church will be explained, and an opportunity given inquirers by means of the question box to have any points, historical, dog matic or practical, cleared up. A cordial invitation has been given, and is re newed to all interested in religious mat ters ta attend. ttt fir&m&tto trork $vex produced. Jan-Lja-uJ, Or ASDinOXAL TOURIST SERVICE.

Mansfield, gen eral acenx, s waszungton street; jfor Tetecrapb Operator, Sick and De spondent, Kills Himself. Despondent on account of 111 health and lack of money, J. B. Arnold, a telegraph operator, temporarily living in Portland, took his own life yesterday afternoon. by shooting himself through the head with a pistol bullet. This he did in broad daylight on the street bridge at Tenth and ZJorthup, in full .sight of a number of passers-by. He was seen standing looking over the railing, then to place a. pistol to his head and pull the trigger. He was neatly dressed in a dark blue suit, and the sudden tragedy aroused the whole neighborhood! The Coroner was notified immediately and removed th body to the morgue. At the Inquest late yesterday afternoon the following facts wero brought outt Arnold was a telegraph operator, em ployed by the O. R. & N. Co at Coyote, this side of Umatilla. There he was lonely and told friends the Idea of stay ing there was maddening. He started In work there August 9, quit November 9, and called Saturday at the office of the train dispatcher for his time. He was al most penniless and pledged his watch with the proprietor of the St. Charles Hotel. J. F. Davis, for one night's room .and board. Yesterday, while talking to R. S. Poole, a lodger at tne bi. jnaries, he expressed himself as being very de spondent. ,He said he would either go East to see his mother in Indiana, or to New Mexico, and If his health did not Improve he would kill himself. He vis ited a Portland physician, who told him he had only a few months to live on ac count of his weak heart. He intended to leave for Indiana on the afternoon train yesterday. He bade his friends good-bye and left them. The dead man -was a native of Carlisle, Ind., where his mother lives. He was unmarried and about 26 years old. Before coming to Portland he had worked as an operator at Terre Haute, Ind., Louisville and Nashville, Richmond, Va., and Seat tle. He served In the Spanish-American War as signal-officer, and was honorably discharged. The Coroner's Jury brought In a ver dict of suicide, due to despondency, due to ill health and want of funds. IN SEVEN DEVILS DISTRICT Three Railroads Are N ovr Headed for the Mlnins Region. Thomas Heady, a Seven Devils mining man, who is staying at the Perkins for a few days, thinks" that portion of Western Idaho will become a very important min ing section when it is connected by rail with the O. R. & N. or Oregon Short Line. He, is company wife Portland cap italists, is interested in the Red Ledge mine, whose ore assays high in gold, with 'a good sprinkling of copper. Con siderable development' work has already been done on the ledge, which bears every evidence of depth and permanence. The Peacock mine near by, he says, is already shipping ore to Boston, although the rock has to be hauled over the rough mountain roads to Concord, a new sta tion on the Welser River, 75 miles dis tant. The cost of shipment over this wajron road is J7 60 per ton, and the freight by rail to Boston amounts to 1 cent a pound, or $20 per ton. The cost of mining the ore is $4, and the incidental expenses of handling en route, he thinks, will bring the total cost to $30 per ton. As the value of the ore Is $90 per ton, there is thus $S0 profit netted on every ton shipped. Seven Devils bas the prospect of three railroads in the near future, Mr. Heady says. One has been surveyed from Baker City; 60 miles of another have been graded do-wn Snake River from Hunting ton, while the Welser River road is al ready within miles, and Is still build ing. With one or aU of tljese connec tions, the district will soon became a great shipper of quarts and of copper ore. He thinks the Huntington road will be the most available, as it follows down the Oregon side of Snake River, with an easy grade, and the mines on either side of the river can have branches con necting -with the main line. Snake River will have to bo bridged here and there, but the immense mineral deposits of tho district Trill Justify this. v t Are free from all crude and irritating matter.

Hathaway, of Sloax City, Iowa, a manufacturer of process butter, was in Portland yesterday. He had become in volved In a legal contest -with the Wash ington Food and Dairy Commissioner, wno seized about $1000 -worth of process but ter on board the cars at Spokane, and whllo the case Is pending In the court there Mr. Hathaway thought he would take a little run to 'Portland. "Process butter," he said, "Is a pure and wholesome food, notwithstanding so called chemical expert testimony to the contrary. It is made from dairy butter, bought from the various farms of Iowa, and is subjected to a high temperature; its 16 per cent of old milk taken from it and replaced by the same amount of that which Is new and sweet. No old or rancid butter Is used, as there no process for sweetening such stuff. "The prejudice against process butter arises from ignorance of its ingredients and the self-interest of parties who de sire to monopolize the butter market. The chemists who testify that they -can tell the difference between creamery but ter and process butter simply don't know what they are talking about, as there Is nothing in the process butter which may not be found In the first-class creamery article. As well might a man's shirt be called a dangerqus garment, after he had washed it, as butter tha$ has been 'pro cessed' be considered unfit for food. Sioux City people prefer the process but ter to the creamery product, quite fre quently, and we have many customers who could not be Induced to dispense with process butter at their tables." Mr. Hathaway declares he will carry this Spokane case to the United States Supreme Court if the Washington courts decide against him. He thinks the Food Commissioner had no right to seize the butter before it was unloaded from the cars, and that at least he should have waited until the butter was exposed for sale In the retail stores of the city. He said this was the first trouble he had encountered In any state, although there are two similar cases pending against other men In Seattle. He has no market in Oregon for his goods, as the butter-makers of this state can compete with those of Iowa and there would be no use In sending his goods out here -when he can sell at better advantage In New Xork and other Eastern States. He finds the -creamery butter sells as cheaply In Oregon as It does in Iowa, while eggs are afso about as cheap out here as back there. His process butter plant has a capacity of 8000 pounds per day, and he has no difficulty In disposing of his entire prod uct at remunerative prices. Iowa dairy men are doing well these times, although they are compelled to house and feed their stock for half the year. -A good deal of butter Is made even in the coldest part of the year, the cows being well fed on grain and roots to enable them to give rich milk. He thinks Western Ore gon would be an Ideal dairy country, as the grass seems to grow nearly the year around, and the stock can be maintained at comparatively Bttle expense. He left last evening for Spokape, and expects a decision In the lower court there today. Insolvent Estate. Andrew Allen, executor of the will of "SVllllam O. Allen, deceased, filed his final account in the Probate Court yesterday, showing that the estate Is Insolvent. The property was appraised at $89,716, and much of i,t was taken on mortgage fore closure suits. The cash receipts were $6053, and the executor's -commission was $1914. The approved claims amounted to $13,430. The name of William O. Allen was mentioned In connection with the George Sayres murder case, and he was one of the bondsmen of X. N. Steeves, who was tried and acquitted of participa tion in the crime. Among the claims filed against the estate were those of a number of well-known lawyers, but they received only a little n account, as the dividend paid to the creditors -was smalL The executor was authorized by the court yesterday to sell a lot nf '"worthless notes, of the face value of about $17,000, for $20. Provision tor Fire rdrants Other Matters. Places are being left at every other in tersection on East Twenty-eighth street, as the new 6-inch main is laid on that street, between East Stark street and the Sandy road, where fire hydrants may be attached. These hydrants jure needed, but they are not on hand at present. Chief Campbell was over that district last week. Especially at the corner of East Twenty eighth street and the Sandy road a hy drant Is badly needed to afford some pro tection to the Doernbecher factory plant. It will no doubt be placed there as soon as possible. The Commissioners would be glad to put in a great many hydrants, but they have not the hydrants nor the money to buy them with. A hydrant will also be placed on East Water and East Taylor streets when it can be done. The Troy Laundry has laid a 6-Inch main from East First street to East Water, and the hydrant may be at tached to this pipe line. This will afford fair protection to the surroundings. The laundry has completed a roadway from East Water street to the rear of the buildings, so there is access to the back end. There is now talk of building a platform from this roadway on down to the river. Access to the river for a flro engine would give better protection to all the property up and down East Water street than fire hydrants. The expense would not be very great to extend a plat form to the river from this roadway. If the large property-owners would club together the roadway might be extended to the river, and an abundance of water secured In case of fire. The 6-lnch main on East First street can only supply a limited amount. The fire department has access only at one place at the foot of East Yamhill street to the river, but this is several blocks north. t Another House Robbed. The home of Mrs. Jane T. Gray, on the corner of East Twentieth and Thompson streets, Irvlng's addition, was entered and robbed Saturday night. The house had Just been completed and Mr. Gray moved a few things Into the building Saturday, intending- to take possession Monday. Rp.tnrdfiv Tilcrht thft front door was opened with a skeleton key without marring theJ lock. A trunk was taKen out oi me house and broken open, and the plated silverware stolen. Nothing else was taken. The burglar left the building by -i rpnr door. He was evidently a past master at the business. Mrs. Gray in- I formed the police of the loss and a close watch will be kept for the articles taken. Less than two months ago, before this house was finished, $75 worth of tools were taken from It, belonging to carpen ters whlqh were recovered. A number of houses on the East Side have been en tered recently. Double TraeZc. Some heavy grading Is under way on East Ankeny street, between East Twenty-fourth and East Twenty-eighth streets, for the double track of the City & Sub urban Railway Company, -which will be laid to the car barn. It Is necessary to shift the track to one side to make room for the second track, and the dirt taken out is being used to make a fill under the trestle at East Thirty-fourth street. On East Twenty-eighth street the grading is finished for the second track, the Iron is on the ground and a force of men are get ting the curve In shape near the car barn. When this portion has been double-tracked there will be continuous double tracks down town. No steps have yet Deen taken to ouim over wwo uw i.v er factory on East Twenty-eighth street, and none will be until the trestle across Sullivan's gulch, through tho factory grounds, has been built. Dissrins Potatoes. m.. t--"in0--' n-rmnrt Oresham and else where In that part of the county are having their potatoes dug as rapmiy as possible, the present weather being fa vorable lor tnat worn- it la nut tm -Djr -ax t .. rHs-o-ers. A carload of dig ging machines was received In Portland some time ago, and nearly all were quick ly taken In this county, but even with their help, which Is very great, as they will dig 500 bushels per day, more help is required. A wagon load of Japs was taken out Into the county last Safurday to dig potatoes. On the whole, there Is a fair crop, but not quite up to the aver age of former years. There are several farmers at Gresham who have gotten rich raising hay and potatoes. Will Spend Winter In California. Mrs. Otto Kleemann, who has been in failing health for some time, left for Oakland, CaL, Sunday morning, with her daughter, where she will spend the Win ter with her parents. Mrs. Kleemann has Improved so she could make the trip In safety. Mr. Kleemann went as far as Al bany with, her, to make sure that all was well. Her many friends in the filly hope she will benefit from the California cli mate and return home. SILVERFIELD EXCLUSIVE; MAlfTJFACTUlU.lt OF.
