TRADE OF FAR EAST
How Portland May Get a Large
Share of It
JIT IS RIPE" FOR EXPLOITATION
(Portland Chamber of Commerce
Listens to a Tallc by Ex-Mlnts-
terTJarrett on the Subject.
There was an unusually large attend
ance at the special meeting of the Cham
,ber of Commerce yesterday afternoon,
when, by special arrangement, ex-Tdlnls-'ter
John Barrett talked about Oriental
commerce and Portland's relation to It.
President Taylor called the meeting to
order and Introduced the speaker, who, he
said, did not appear for a formal address
but rather to talk over the Eastern trade
field with Portland business men.
Mr. Barrett said that when he returned
from the Bast, more than a year ago, he
addressed a very large meeting at the
Marquam Grand Opera-Souse, but that
then he did not have an opportunity to
speak In detail of the trade possibilities
.of the Orient. "I was always greatly in
terested in Oriental trade and develop
ment," said he. "The records of this
Chamber of Commerce will bear "witness
to the fact that I tried when located here
to stir up Interest in trade beyond the
Pacific. I have always tried to look at
the practical side of the question. It Is
well for us to look at the situation as
It really is today. "We should not try to
compete with the Orientals in the labor
Held, but we should supply them with
-many raw and partly manufactured arti
cles. "First, in order that there be markets
there must be people. These the lands of
the Orient supply in enormous numbers.
Between Australia and Siberia, in the
region debouching Into the Pacific, is a
population of about 800,000.000. They are
fast learning the art of buying and sell
ing, and are rapidly developing commer
cially. Their entire trade. Imports and
exports, now amounts to $2,100,000,000 an
nually, of which the United States sup
plies less than one-tenth. But the de
mands of those people and the facilities
and ability of the United States to sup
ply them are such that we ought to han
dle one-third of that Immense Oriental
trade.
"I shall never forget when. In Manila,
.the Admiral asked Lieutenant Calkins to
calculate the position of the Philippine
Islands with reference to the great trade
field of the Bast, and I assisted in the
calculation, he performing he more sci
entific part. We found that Manila was
In almost the exact geographical and
commercial center, including Australia,
which is essentially Asiatic, in the field.
Circles drawn with Manila as their cen
ter will include a more numerous popu
lation for the area described than those
drawn about any other point, with the
possible exception of Hong Kong. This
gives us a great advantage in pushing
our trade in those lands.
"I shall never forget how Sir Thomas
Sutherland, In Hong Kong, said that Ma
nila was a point that Great Britain ought
to own. It would greatly Increase her
trade facilities. He said it occupied the
position of door or entrance to the Asiatic
trade, and was of the greatest commer
cial lmportance-to the country that should
own it. He was afraid we would not ap
preciate It at its real value. Having my
self been in the Philippines, Japan, China,
Corea, Slam, Burmah, Java and even Bor
neo; in nearly every state of this Union
and In countries of South America, J pro
nounce the Orient a great trade field, and
possession of the Philippines a most val
uable assistance to us In reaching and
developing that immense commerce.
'Thitch trade in the Island of Java has
Increased -from $23,000,000 to $300,000,000 an
nually. Our trade with the Philippines
under Spanish rule Was $33,000,000 a year;
It ought to be $333,000,000 In time. There
arc but 150 miles of railroad in the is
lands, while there Is- a crying need of
2000 -miles. Trade there is in the hands
of a few foreigners, and It will take time
for us to get In. The only danger Is
that we may become discouraged and
that the English and Germans, who al
ready have a foothold there, will take
the business. A number of years ago the
Germans found Englishmen doing the
business of China, and the prospect was
anything but promising for the Teuton.
But he persevered in the face of adverse
conditions, and now divides commercial
honors with the British.
"We must not forget how rapidly Ori
ental trado grows. Japanese commerce
20 years ago was a mero fraction of what
it Is today. See how trade has' grown in
China. If we give those peoples the op
portunity they will develop the business.
China's greatest demand in the coming
years will be for wheat and lumber and
their products. Japan. Corea and- a great
part of China are practically tlmborless.
The Tailroad lines built In China- in the
faco of bitter opposition and prejudice are
well patronized by the people after a short
season of fear or distrust.
"I .shall never forget when the first
loaded freight cars went over the new
railroad in Slam. A great part of the
freight consisted of what was called
muok' and 'truck of small stuff that is
likely to f& overlooked In great plans for
business, but It found a good market and
one that Increased surprisingly. In ad
dition to flour and lumber, canned goods
and hops may find a greedy market In
China. The field has hardly yet begun to
bo exploited.
"We must send a man of broad views
to represent our business interests In
that country; a man who can come in
contact with and understand tho English
man, the Frenchman and the German,
as well as tho Oriental. It takes a
mighty good man to get Into the Inside of
tbiags there. The natives must be culti
vated to get their confidence and Inter
est. Much of the business In those lands
is done at the clubs or through affilia
tions gained at clubs, and a man to be
successful In that field must not ignore
such things. My long residence In Slam
has enabled me to appreciate these pe
culiarities of Oriental business.
"I received a letter the other day from
Judge Taft, president of the Philippine
Commission, in which he wrote very can
didly and freely about some practices that
hinder the growth of our trade there. He
said there were too many men who were
not what they professed to be who pre
tended, for example, to represent houses
that really had no existence. When the
deception is discovered It is too late to
remedy matters, and Americans in gen
eral suffer from it."
Mr. Barrett said the tariff situation at
Manila was Just now unfortunate, but
he expected a satisfactory adjustment to
be made, now that the civil commission
had taken the matter up. He spoke of
the productions of the Philippines the to
baoco of Northern Luzon, the rice of the
central district of the island, the fine
hemp of the Camarines, and the sugar of
Cebu. Panay and other islands. But after
all, he said, it should be kept in mind
that open ports of China were more Im
portant to us than free trade with our
Philippines. China is the real market we
are after, he said, because of its measure
less capacity for development. And the
permanent demand in China is for the
products which Oregon yields in greatest
abundance.
Mr. Wittoaberg, of the Portland Crack
er Company, and Mr. Brannick, of the
Studebaker Company, asked some Ques
tions about transportation facilities and
charges. The answer was that both were
more or less variable in the Orient Mr.
Barrett eatd, ,that under-normal conditions,
rates were more favorablo from Pacific
ports than from the Atlantic seaboard.
It was conceded that it would be a big
thing for Portland to have a regular
steamship line to Hone Kong,, which is
now the great transfer point for all the
Orient
"Another very important thing,", said
Mir. Barrett, "and one that I suggested
to. Secretary Hay. is, tho developing of a
return trade, so that our ships can be
loaded both ways. This is essential to a
successful business in the far East."
Jar. "Barrett was tendered a formal vote
of thanks and the meeting adjourned.
KEEP PARTY TOGETHER.
Attitude of Veteran Democrat In
Senatorial Fight.
Now that the election is over, local
politicians find that they can keep right
on talking politics by shifting their com
ments and speculation to the coming Sen
atorial contest In the next Legislature.
At the present time the Democrats are
doing most of the talking, as the leaders
of the party feel that their organization,
which was badly shattered in June, and
which did not receive an especially re
vivifying influence from the Presidential
election, is in great danger. Most of the
conservative Democrats are inclined to
beliove that the party will stay together
In the Legislature, and that the Demo
crats in that body will rote for a-Demo-crat
for Senator. It was generally be
lieved by Democrats that had .ex-Governor
Pennoyer consented to run for the
Legislature, he would have been electeq,
and that in that event he would have
been the logical candidate of the Democ
racy for Senator. Although the Governor
will not assist In the manufacture of tho
next batch of Oregon statutes, he still
has friends who think he stands some
chance of going to the Senate, and an
effort will be .made by the Democrats to
make him the candidate of the party at
Salem.
In speaking of the matter yesterday,
Pat Powers, whose advice has stood the
party in good stead in former years, said:
"I think the. Democrats ought to vote
for a Democrat, and not go chasing off
after a Republican. That has been my
'tum-tum all along. We may. not be able
to elect a Democrat this time, but wo
shall never be able to elect one if we
keep on standing In with Republicans
and voting for their candidates. We nev
er get anything out of that, and it only
weakens the party. If the Democrats
will only stand together this time and
vote for a Democrat, and let the Repub
licans go along and attend to their own
business, which is electing a Republican
Senator If they can, we shall be a whole
lotbetter off.
"We may be able lo elect a Democrat
some day. The chances are not very
bright Just now, I will admit, but there
never Is any telling when the Repub
licans will split up and make a deadlock,
and then if a good Democrat has been
receiving the support of his party, he 1
in line for election. That Is the way I
feel about it, and I have been giving that
kind of a talk to every Democratic mem
ber of the Legislature I can get hold of.
The party has got to keep together and
do what It can for Its own members, or
It never will amount to anything. Ther
are a good many members of the-party
who think Just as I do, and I believe the
members of the Legislature will think the,
same way. Mind, I do not say we can
elect a man this time, but there is such
a thl lg as our having a chance to elect
one some day, if we keep together, and
if our Representatives in the Legislature
support a Democrat and let the Repub
licans attend to their own fight."
FOR WOUNDING A BOY.
Victim of Halloween Outrages on
Trial for Shootlnar.
Charles Lundeen. who shot Andrew
Matthews, a 14-year-old lad, In the arm,
Halloween, was subjected to an exam
ination in the Municipal Court yesterday
afternoon, on a charge of assault with a
dangerous weapon, and Judge Cameron
took the case under advisement, after
hearing the evidence and the arguments
of the opposing attorneys.
On the night of October 31, young Mat
thews, In company with other boys, was
"celebrating" Halloween, and while in
front of Lundeen's dwelling, 453 Flanders
street, was shot in tho left arm by the
defendant, who avers that the wounding
was accidental, as "he only fired to scare
the boys." He acknowledged yesterday,
however, that he was very much pro
voked at the time, as the lads had thrown
stones and mud at him, and that he was
hit on the eye with a chunk of mud ana
on the shoulder by a stone. He testified
that he was firing in the air, but the
chunk of mhd striking his eye caused hla
aim to divert, and so young Matthews
who was on the sidewalk,near Lundeen's
woodpile, was struck. Lundeen declared
he did not see the boy, and did not know
he was there, though the gang had ,au
tempted to scatter his wood, which was
piled up at tho edge of the walk.
The prosecution tried hard to show that
the defendant had fired polntblank at the
boy, who was simply passing by, with an
armload of .leaves to drop on another
neighbor's sidewalk. Patrolman Church,
who was on hand shortly after the shoot
ing, testified that he had looked over
Lundeen's premis.es with a view to find
ing some evidence of mud and stones
having been thrown, but he found noth
ing. Mrs. Lundeen, to offset this, swore
that she had swept off the porch shortly
after, not realizing the Importance of
such evidence.
H. R Long, proprietor of a laundry
near by, testified In behalf of the de
fense, that a gang of bad boys had an
noyed him a good deal on other nights
besides Halloween, and that the wounded
lad was In the crowd. The prosecution
objected to this, arguing that the break
ing of Long's windows had nothing to do
with the case In question, and quite a
wordy battle was the consequence.
The case seems to be a very compli
cated one, as It is hard to prove that the
wounding of the boy was premeditated.
The Judge appeared to think that there
was considerable provocation for the
shooting, as Lundeen and his wife testi
fied to being annoyed a good deal by the
boys of the neighborhood. The wound
ed lad was present at the investigation,
with his arm in a sling.
ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED.
Joseph. E. Smith Foil Overboard
and Is Rendered Helpless.
Joseph E. Smith, a native of Portland,
aged 25, was accidentally drowned yes
terday morning, near the foot of Oak
street He was a partner in the Ann of
Robert Smith & Co., who were operating
a plledriver at that point, and in arrang
ing some loose plank, lost his balance
and fell from a cap timber Into the river.
In falling, the back of his head struck
a timber near the surface of the water,
and this blow rendered him unconscious,
so that he was unable to help himself,
and did not rise to the surface. The pile
driver crew quickly repaired to the res
cue. and succeeded In taking the body
from the water a few minutes later. A
physician reached the scene Immediately,
and did what he could to revive the
young man, but it was too late.
Deceased lived with his mother and
younger brother, at 21 North Fifteenth
street. The brother, C. W. Smith, was
working on the plledriver at the time,
and witnessed the disaster, which he con
sidered entirely accidental. An inquest
was- held on the body yesterday after
noon, and a verdict rendered in accord
ance with the facts.

PLATE GLASS SCRATCHED
VANDAL RUINS MORRISON-STREET
SHOW WINDOWS.
Unknown Owner of a Diamond
Leaves His Maries on Both, Sides -of
the Street. v
Some vandal who owns a diamond ring
which he may need 'very sodn to pawn as
a-pledge for ball money, has been en
tertaining himself lately by ruining all of
the handsome plate glass show windows
on lower Morrison street.
The first man to notice that he had re
ceived a visit from this fellow was Frank
Rothschild, proprietor of the Famous
Clothing House. A few days ago Mr.
Rothschild discovered that long, Irregular
lines had been scratched on his windows
with some sffisrp, hard instrument, prob
ably a dianond. Not a window had es
caped these disfiguring marks, and in
some places the cuts were so deep as to
render the glass exceedingly likely to
break on a slight Jar. Across the street
the tall, heavy plates In the windows of
PIONEER MUSICIAN DEAD.
THE LATE CALEB PARISH.
At 8 o'clock yesterday morning-, at the home of his eon, 372 East Eighth street. Caleb
Parish, a pioneer of the Pacific Coast and a pioneer musician of Portland, died after an 111
vness of live woeks. which confined him to his room, and rendered htm unconscious for most
of the time. Mr. Parish came to the Coast In 1852, and had lived In Portland for the past
80 years. Few men were better known than h e to the ,early residents, and especially among
those who have, grown to manhood and womanhood in Portland. He was horn In Genesee
County, New York, 76 years and 0 months -ago. He and his five brothers were pioneer mu
sicians on the Great Lakes. In 1802 he crossed the plains to California, and established hlm
sself In the hotel business In San Francisco. Here he became a member of the Mechanics'
Band, and so continued as long as he lived there. Five times he was burned out In San
.Francisco, hut as often rebuilt and went ahead with his business. He owned property in San
Francisco that Is now valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Becoming: dissatisfied, Mr. Parish returned to his old home In the Bast, but remained
only a short time, when ho set out for Oregon He arrived In Portland In 1870, where he
made his home ever since. He was a member of the Tom Parrott Band, which was made
up of 30 players. All of these have died except three-George Buchanhon, Walter Bartel and
George Parish. At most all the early society events and dances In early days Mr. Parish
was the prompter, and Is still kindly remembered by the young women and men of those
days, now crown old. He was a genial man, with a soul full of music and good humor. Of
Ave brothers, he is the last to go. One perished on the Brother Jonathan. An only son.
George Parish, and two daughters, Mrs. A. Klndorff and Mrs. T. H. Brlckell, survive him.
The funeral will take place this afternoon at 2 o'clock from tho home of his son, 372 Bast
Eighth streot. ""
the H. C. Breeden Company were gashed
with long, wavy cuts, many of them ex
tending the full width of the plates. Fur
ther up the street the Marks Shoe Com
pany's windows were slashed, and a brand
new outside showcase glazed with curved
plates was criss-crossed with ugly seams.
Across Third street the windows of Sam
uel Rosenblatt were marked with scars
and gashes, the vandal having In one
place carved a rough star In the smooth
glass. Other firms whose windows have
been mutilated are W. J. Fullam, A. B.
Stelnbach & Co., Andrew Kan & Co.,
S. Sllverfleld, Llebes & Co., and the Meier
& Frank Company.
Nearly all of these windows have been
cut recently, although one or two suf
fered at the hands of a scamp who passed
along the street some weeks ago. The
new marks were evidently made by some
follow who walked up one side of the
street and down the other, gashing win
dows as he went. The police have been
notified, and there is a good chance for
the rascal's apprehension, for they are
on the track of a man who was seen to
scratch one of the windows.
Merchants- all over the city are warned
to keep an eye on their windows In the
future, and to seize and hold the first
man they see practicing on them with a
diamond. The men whose windows have
been disfigured are willing to club to
gether and raise a fund for assisting tho
prosecution of the vandal, If he Is caught,
and they will probably be eager to settle
with him personally, as well.
The extent of the damage he has done
can hardly bo estimated. It Is impossible
to efface the marks he has made, and
many of the cuts In tho glass are so
deep that a heavy Jar Inside the buildings
on whose fronts they are will shiver them
to pieces. Plate glass 13 exceedingly ex
pensive, and the windows, on Morrison
street are the pride and Joy of their own
ers, as well as the public generally. Just
what kind of a man it can be who could'
do such a thing as this fellow has done
is beyond tho conception of an ordinary
mortal.
FALL FISHING CLOSED.
Commissioner Reed Has No Figures
Yet on Sprln&r Pnclc.
Salmon fishing on the -Columbia-River
haa virtually closed for the season. Ac
cording to law, fishing may be continued
until February, but hardly any fish have
been caught recently, and all of the, can
neries have ceased operations but two,
which are still packing a little.
Fish Commissioner Reed, speaking In
reference to the pack, said:
"I don't pratend to make any estimate
uptil reports come In, but from what I
have heard casually, I think the season
will turn out a little better than last
year. I have Just commenced to send out
for reports, and two have been returned.
On both sides of the river, the Spring
catch last year amounted to 234,708 cases.
They commence on April 15 and run until
August 10, and the season opens again on
Sep-ember 10, and they can fish all
through the Winter, but they generally
close about the middle of November. The
Fail pack a year ago was 34,567 cases."
Asked concerning the fishing in other
section of the state, Mr. Reed stated:
, They are still ilshingjin.nearly'all ofc
'tho' coast streamy in-the Co4uilIe,-Ump
qua, Sluslaw, Nehalem and Necanlcum
Rivers, and Coos Bay and Tillamook Bay.
Fishing has closed In the Rogue, Alsea
and SJletz Rivers. Fish are scarce, and
they are all liable to stop at any time.
Inthe coast streams they are supposed
to close November ,20. The average an
nual pack of the coast streams is about
4000 cases. Last year it was, a poor sea
son, and this year it-Is about the same."
MULTNOMAH JUNIORS.
Getting Into Trim, for" the Game
With the Chemawos Tomorrow.
Under the coaching of the, men of the
first' Multnomah eleven" 'this week the
second team has been putting in hard
and- steady practice for. the Chemawa
game tomorrow. Both teams are evenly
matched. The quickness and natural skill
of the Indian players at the game make
the team 'resemble on a smaller scale the
great Carlisle eleven of the East. The
lads who are playing on the second Mult
nomah team have learned the game on
the High School, Academy or local Junior
teams. In .knowledge of the finer points
of the game, a quicker perception of
where the plays are gblng, and more per
fect team work, the local players sur
pass the sturdy Chemawad. Both teams
will be on tholr mettle to play off the tie
game of 00 made several weeks ago.
The Individual make-up of the club
team is excellent. Sam Holbropk, who
plays left end, Is one the cleverest Junior
players ever developed at the club. He
also plays left halfback, which position
he held on the Portland High School
eleven last year. At tho recent Chemawa
game he captained the team on the field
In a very creditable fashion. Klrkley, the
big left tackle, weighs 174 pounds, and Is
but 13 years old. He has played against
experienced men, and Is one of the com
ing -players on the first team. Oliver Cut
ler, left guard, Is another husky lad,
weighing 176 pounds, and strong on guard
plays and In the interference. Keller, tho
center, played that position on the Mount
Angel teim. He Is sure on the pass, and
will lino up against Decker, the big Chem
awa center, said to be one of the strong
est players ever turned out by the school.
Wilhelm, at right guard, weighs 170, and
is a possibility on the first team for the
rest of the season. Claude Mathena, right
tackle, Is another player considered for
the first eleven. On tackle plays he is an
expert, and his style much resembles that
of Captain Pratt, of the seniors. Dowl
lng, the other end, may play halfback, as
his line bucking was one of the features
of the Forest Grove game.
Quarterback Price has played three
games this season, with only one fumble,
made on a slippery field, and is develop
ing Into a second Kerrigan. Dunbar,
Harkins and Hoffman have been filling
tho halfback positions. All three are ex
cellent ground-gainers, and thoroughly
understand their positions. The two that
go in the game are certain to do some
effective work. Cook played fullback at
Forest Grove and Is a good punter. Si
monton, Tim Woods and Ted Woods have
all been playing with the Juniors and are
a credit to any light-weight team.

IN THE SEVERAL COURTS
SWINDLER DECON ON TRIAL ON HIS
SECOND CHARGE.
He Burned Part of the Evidence
Aa-ainat Him Trial of Snlt for
- .- Damages Court Notes.
When the case of Georgo Dixon was
called' in the Criminal Court' yesterday.
District Attorney Chamberlain decided to
try the indictment against Dixon of forg
ing the name of Henry Wilson to the
deed executed in favor of Emma Gil
lette, instead of the indictment which
charges tho defendant with forging the
signature of Henry Ackerman as a no
tary to the acknowledgment part of this
same, instrument. There were three In
dictments returned against Dixon, grow
ing out of the fraudulent deal. The one
on which he was recently tried and con
victed charges him with conveying prop
erty not his own to J. Jr. Modson. Dixon,
according to the evidence adduced at the
trial, first " made a deed- signed Henry
Wilson, in favor of Emma Gillette, when
he gave to Mrs. Mattie Frost, his accom
plice. She suggested the name of Emma
Gillette, which is that of her sister.
This Instrument purported to have been
sealed1 and attested by Henry Ackerman.
&rs. Frost then signed the name of
Emma Gillette to a deed in favor of
Dixon, and he deeded to Mr. Hodson. The
acknowledgments on these latter deeds
were regular.
Mrs. Frost was on the witness stand
yesterday afternoon, and repeated her
story as told at the former trial, with
perhaps slight variations. She stated that
Dixon gave her the Wilson deedv and
after it had been recorded and served Its
purpose, burned it up. She did not say
she saw him sign it. A copy of the deed
was offered in evidence. The absence of
the 'original instrument will probably not
be a legal obstacle fn the way of the
conviction, as it can be shown by the
records in the County Recorder's office
that it existed, besides the evidence of
Mrs. Frost.
The Jury selected to try the case Is
composed of the following-named persons:
Won. Eccles, J. B. Smith. F. M. Sutford,
Owen Caraher, John A. Palmquest, F. R.
Chase, Fredi Pautz, Larkln Russell, J. R.
N. Sellwood, L. J. Kelly, E. H. Virgil,
Frank Keenan.
J. C. Moreland Is assisting District At
torney Chamberlain in the prosecution,
and Henry St. Raynor Is conducting the
defense. Dixon takes things coolly, and
at adjournment hour bore a smiling-countenance
as he left his counsel and started
to accompany the Deputy Sheriff back to
the JalL
For Injuries by a Street-Car.
Yesterday afternon. In Judge Frazlers
Court, the trial was begun of the suit
of Mrs. Ada Mazarowsky against the City
& Suburban Railway Company for $1060
damages on account of alleged Injuries
sustained by falling from a car which
she was endeavoring to board. The ac
cident occurred on the afternoon of June
14, on Third street, between Davis and
Everett The plaintiff states that she
stopped an Irvlngton car and as she was
about to get on the conductor gave the
signal to start, and she was thrown vio
lently to the pavement, and some of her
ribs were broken and she was badly
bruised. The defense set up is that she
wanted to take a South Portland car, and
stopped the wrong one, and the conductor
after directing her signalled to start, and
a,erwaras ana wnue sne was waiKing
backwards she grabbed for the hand-rail,
when the conductor to save her from be
ing injured signalled to stop again. Tho
accident, the defendant asserts, was the
result of her own negligence and care
lessness. Mts. Mazarowsky is'an old woman, un
able to talk English, and an Interpreter
had to be called who can speak her com
binations of various tongues, including
German, Russian and Hebrew. She told
the story of the accident and admitted
that she is not familiar with the cfty and
got mixed up as to the different cars and
routes.. She said she had to be assisted
home by her son. The physician who
attended her was called. The plaintiff
has three attorneys, namely: C. A. Bell,
G. C. Moser- and H. H. Emmons, and
John M. Gearin and Rufus Mallory ap
pear as counsel for the defendant. The
trial will be closed today.
Salts Filed.
Mattie Cromwell yesterday began suit
in the Stat Circuit Court against George
W. Cromwell, a restaurant waiter, for
a divorce, because of cruel treatment
They were married In Portland in 1896,
and the plaintiff states that the defendant

Mr. Johnson and His Tip.
Saturday Evening Post "
Tom L. Johnson, the famous street-car
magnate and single-taxer, Is well known
by his friends to be a genrous man, but
he admits that he could never become
reconciled to the "tipping" hablt'so preva
lent in Europe; and he tells this story
on himself.
In front of the hotel where he stayed in
London, on a recent visit there was al
ways standing a man who had the an
noying habit of darting out to the car
riage and swinging open tho door before
Mr. Johnson could reach it and then
he would stand expectantly to receive a

"Now," says Mr. Johnson, "I shouldn't
have cared' If the man had come to me
and said he needed assistance, but I real
ly didn't need him to open the carriage
door. The driver and myself could have
managed if between us, I'm sure.
"Well, it began to be a point of honor
with both of us. I would try to dash out
so quickly that the man coudn't possibly
beat me, but he must have had gimlet
eyes and rubber legs, because he could
always see me' before I came in sight
and could spring to the carriage door In
half a second.

OCCUPATION FOR INDIANS.'
Hard Problonx for-Government Bu
reau to Solve.
WASHINGTON. Nov. IL-The ques
tion of bow the Indian shall derive tho
greatest benefit from his lands, and in
what way he can best support himself,
has long been a study of the Indian Bu
reau, and It may safely be said- that up
to this time the problem has not been
entirely satisfactory. After considerable
investigation, and by conferring with
agents all over the country, the Board of
Indian Commissioners has concluded that
at a considerable portion if the agencies
the climate, surroundings and the hab
its of tho Indian and the nature of the
lands are such as to make stockralsing
and cattle and sheep herding the most
natural occupation of the Indians. Many
of these Indian lands are meardows
from which from half a ton to a ton and
a half of good hay can bo cut to the
acre, affording a sufficiency of fodder for
Winter use. These commissioners rec
ommend that the homes of the Indians
be erected upon the well-watered parts
of the reservation, where small gardens
can be laid) out and this will not inter
fere with the hording of cattle or sheep.
The careful preparation of the Winter
supply. Improving tho breeds of cattle
and other stock, and learning and fol
lowing the best methods of caring for
stock, cultivate in the Indians' the habit
of forethought or provident precautions
for the future, as effectively as does
agriculture.
Already between 20 and 20 agents have
expressed the conviction that on their
reservations, and for their Indians, cattle
raising is the best occupation. Some
times this is because the land is not good
for agricultural purposes, but in most
cases these reservations are remarkably
well adapted for cattle raising. For In
stance, at Warm Springs, Or., not over
15 per cent of iho land Is fit for agricul
ture; the principal occupation is cattle
raising. Cattle raising is also the prin
cipal occupation at Klamath. Among the
Southern Utes of Colorado, at Cheyenne
River, Wyo., and Fort Apache,, most
glowing reports have been received from
the agents in support of grazing and
stock and sheep raising. Taking the
opinions of all the agents and averaging
them up, the above being but a sample,
it is found that the preponderant opin
ion decidedly favors the grazing policy.
In some Instances there has been a con
flict between stock raising and schooling
and education of the younger Indians,
but It Is thought that with careful study,
a plan may be devised whereby the In
dians, having their own homes, each on
his own allotment, and- his little garden
plot, that some means of herding cat
tle or grazing sheep can be devised that
will not Interfere with the schooling of
the children. Grazing on intelligent lines
is an education in Itself for the older In
dians, and about the only sort of an
education to which they are suscept
ible. ACADEMY WON AGAIN.
Defeated the Bishop Scott Team at
Football, 16 to O.
The Portland Academy football team
won another victory yesterday, when it
defeated the Bishop Scott Academy team
by a score of IS to 0.
The game was hard fought throughout
but the Academy team's work was too
much for the B. S. A. team. The Acad
emy rapidly worked the ball along the
field after the" kick-off, and soon -had the,
ball in B. S. A. territory. Williams made
a 35-yard gain on a fake punt the play
was tried again, but Williams fumbled,
and the B. S. A. got the ball. Westbrook
tried a punt, but the ball was blocked,
and again came into the Academy's pos
session, and was soon taken over the line
by Warren. Williams kicked the goal.
The Academy gained ground after the
kick-off, but was held on the B. S. A.
60-yard line. Williams made a long punt
sending the ball over the goal line, and
the B. S. A. made a touch-back. Time
was soon called, with the score: P. A., 0;
B. S. A. 0.
In the second half, Hughes was taken
from the Academy team, and Jordan
placed at the end, Stott taking Jordan's
place at quarter. In the B. S. A. team,
Houston was substituted for Westbrook
and Bain for Morrow. In this half the
Academy team played better ball, and
succeeded In making! two touchdowns.
Smith made the first by a straight buck,
and had a clear field. The second was
made by Chalmers, under similar condi
tions. Williams failed to kick either of
the goals. Score: P. A., 16; B. S. A., 0.
Noticeable features of the game were
the gains made by Smith, Williams and
Warren, and the punting of Williams.
The B. S. A. line was a strong point In
the game, but it was not able to with
stand the P. A. interference.

RAN INTO A BURGLAR.
Bat With Odds Against Him, John
Klernan Toole No Chancea.
John Klernan, who has a private office
at the rear of the O. T. Co.'s office In
Its building, on North Sixth street, had
occasion to vlslf this office Wednesday
evening. He made his way to the room
in the dark, and made for the corner
where his desk stands, and leaned his
heavy blackthorn walking stick against
the end of it He ran against an arm
chair drawn out on the floor and next
against one of the drawers of his desk
also drawn out He was certain that he
ltft his desk closed, and placing his hand
on the roll-top desk, found that it was
locked. While he was wondering how the
drawer had come to be -pulled out, he
heard a slight shuffling on the floor, and
Imagined his partner Cook's dog had been
left in the office and had gone into this
room to sleep. After going through all
these mental calculations, he proceeded
to strike a match, and was somewhat
surprised to find a negro as big as him
self standing flattened against the wall
within two feet of him. The burglar
asked:
"Is this the railroad officer
"Tou know very well this ia not a rall
Toad office," was tho reply. "What are
,you doing here?"
Tse a lookln' for the railroad office,"
said the coon.
Mr. Klernan's "shillalah" was out ot
his reach, and as the negro was a whop
per, and probably had a razor in his poca
et he informed his visitor that the rail
road depot was not far away, and. giv
ing him the direction to it, opened tho
door and let him out, and then followed
him toward the depot Intending to cause
his arrest After walking a short dis
tance, the darky broke and -ran like a
quarter-horse, and Mr. Klernan followed,
but saw no more of the Tellow. On re
turning to hla office, Mr. Klernan found
that the negro had gained admission by
breaking out a square of glass, reaching
through and unlocking the door. There
was nothing missing from the desk and
no money in it

streets for that part of the city, which
Is a good showing.
The contractors are pushing the grad
ing on East Taylor street with large
forces of men and horses. Several blocks
west from East Thirty-fourth have been
graded and sidewalks laid. The grading

on both sides ot Belmont will be filled
up with earth from East Taylor and East
Morrison streets. The latter street is to
be improved between East Thirty-second
