ItETROPOLlTAN THEATER "A Day and a Xisht." Good Duck WEATirem Duck-hunters generally enjoyed a good day's shooting on Sunday. It. was "good -weather for Sucks," and hunters who were In box Minds managed to keep comfortable, but those who were out on the marshes with no shelter but some boughs stuck In the mud were slightly troubled with "cold feet." There were plenty of duoks and a vast number of geese fllng, and same food shots were made. Two men knocked flown with four shots six ducks that were Dying over their blind, and another who had just discharged one barrel saw two ducks coming over and shot one of them with his remaining barrei and then grabbed the gun of his companion, who was eating his lunch, and brought down the other. Down at Deer Island a good many geese are "using" and two guns there brought down 47 big honkers. Few killed any canvasbacks, but "Billy" Wil liams struck a lead and seoured 45 of these fine fowls. Cantasbacks are re ported to be quite numerous down the Columbia among the Islands off Pillar rock. A man who has been shooting down there sajs sport on Sarnie's Island Is tame compared to what he had down there In the first place, he has to row about fle miles to get where the ducks are Once he got caught in a blow bich nearly swamped his dingey, ana anotner time he accidentally discharged his gun and blew a hole through the bot tom of the dingey. He crowded his hand kerchief Into the hole and pulled for a sandbank in & hurry, and Just as he got where the water was up to his waist she went down. That sort of thing may be Very funny, but it soundb more like "fisherman s luck" than hunter's.

Jack Snipe Getting Scarce The de licious little jaek snipe has of late made himself very scarce in the region round aaout Portland. Whether he has "tum-bl-nl to the fact that there aVe scores of liunters here who are thirsting for his sore and hungering for his saiorj ilesn, or whether the swamps In this section do not abound la the food whloh Is roost Congenial to his taste. Is not known, but he seems for seme reason to give Port land a wide berth, and few of the sports men here can boast of having shot many ( snipe for a. long time. Out around Wap- ata Lake, In Washington County, and in maylofer places further up the Valley, snips are found at the proper season In large numbers, but few have the time to go alter them or know where to hnd them. Last Friday Deputy Game Warden B. W. Prettyman made a -visit to Linn C ounty ,and In company w 1th F. B. Wire succeeded In killing SO snipe, the longest strlig of these birds seen here for soma time. If the hunters here oould find any. thin; the snipe would eat they would eoon have the swamps alive with them.

Bids roR Poor Farm The County Commissioners yesterday opened bids for constructing- a well on the county poor if arm. They require a well that will fur nish 12,000 gallons of water per day, and If this provision is not complied with they pay ro thing for the work done. Three blUs wre presented, as follows: D, 1L Watsoiufoffcra to supply the well required for JUTS, James W. Green offers to furnish a tabular well for $10-10, Samuel Clifford offers to furnish the well for $1100, and for (60 more to put in a pump.

Ward, a South Dakota farmer, who has pulled up his stakes In that re gion and decided to locate near Junction City, Lane County, passed through Port land with his family j esterday. Al though, the weather was somewhat In crement for Oregon. Mr. Ward was de lighted with it, as there was no taint of a Dakota blizzard about the softly falling flakes, which melted as soon as they Struck the pavement. The farmers of South Dakota, he said, are In a hird run of Juck this year, and many of them are looking toward Ore gon with a -view to permanent homes The extremely cold Winters were hara enough to bear, but when 1 comes to a failure of crops as well, they begin to think of seeking a more congenial clime. The early part of last Summer was so dry that the wheat could not grow, and corn that had been planted between the 10th and 30th of May lay in the ground fer six weeks without sprouting. Weeds took the plare of both wheat and oats, and a pest called the Russian thistle has about taken all of Grant County, where ho lived. This thistle was brought over from Russia several years ago by a Slav Immigrant, who wanted to raise the stuff for stock, ns It makes very good pastur age when about six Inches high. After that, however, It attains a height of three feet, and bristles with thorns which are Of the shape and sharpness of needles No animal can go through a field taken by these thistles, and the stuff grows with great rapidity on the South Dakota prairies. In the Fall these bunches get loose from the ground and go to rolling, tumble-weed fashion, over the plain, pil ing up against the fences and scattering their seed broadcast In all directions. What the people of South Dakota will do with thlB pest, Mr. Ward does not know. If Its true nature had been realized when It first began to spread, It might hav been exterminated by a vigorous applica tion of the hoe, but It got ahead of the farmers before they found It out, Mr. Ward has relatives In Lane Coun ty, who are largo land-holders, and he will probably lease a farm In the Wil lamette Valley until he has a chance to loo)c around and make a purchase He expects several of his neighbors to fol low soon. 1 PROSPEROUS TILLAMOOK. Country Where Hard Times Are Unknown, J. T, McNamer, ft llyery stable keeper of Tillamook, who is spending a few daj & at the Perklps, Js one of that town's business men who Is not longing for a railroad He says a great many of his neighbors think a railroad would be Just the thing, but he Is satisfied to let well enough alone, as everybody Is prosperous over In Tillamook now. "During the recent period of hard times In the United States," he said, "we nev er felt any depression, as we were away to one side of the great lines of travel, and It was only through the newspapers that we learned of any collapse. Our butter and lumber sold well, and our grass grew the year around Just the same as though the whole country was pros perous. Money was easy, and when our bank deposits ran out, we could borrow from the storekeepers until our purses were replenished again In the course oi trade." He sajs the Tillamook dairymen have the best times of anybody in that line of business. "The hands get their milking done In the morning," he said, "and then they come in and pass the time around tewn until it Is time to milk again In the afternoon. Our young men have plenty of money, and $30 pieces are no curiosity In Tillamook. Wages on the farms, in dai ries and fisheries are good, and no one seems to want for anything. We, there, forp, can get along without a railroad, just as well as the railroad people oan get along without us. We expect a road to connect us with Portland before ery long, however, as our country Is too rich in natural resources to be overlooked by (he capitalists very much longer," PULLMAN ORDINARY SLEEP ERS.

The snow that fell yesterday was the real article, slmon pure, and pronounced "beautiful by all lovers at tho cold, white, frozen flakes. It came down slow ly at first. In sharp, tiny particles, later gathered force and filled the air full of the metamorphosed raindrops. And they stuok. All day long the snow fell more or loss rapidly, and the weather grew colder and colder. The mercury was chased down from 39 degrees to 29 do grees, and then the wholo city took on a changed appearance. Under foot It froze, and the white covering slowly Increased Its thickness By evening over an Inch had fallen, and the sounds made by the pedestrians traveling home were the pe culiar crunchings only possible when there Is a footing of good, thick, well pulverized snow. All the city reveled In It But the cold, fierce wind played Its usual Dranks. driv ing Its cy freight into unexpected places open mouths and yawning pockets, down between necks and mufflers, under ' doors and windows. The motormen on the street-cars caught the blast in theU faces as they drove their cars swiftly Into the teeth of the storm. Eo thick was It that at times pass'engers 10 feet ahead on a street corner could not be dlstln- I gutshed. Women In all the glory of Win- ter cloaks and wraps braved the wintry terrors and the slushy pavements In, smart rubber boots Staid business men caught themselves absent-mlndedry form ing hard-packed snowballs to throw at old acquaintances, who retaliated in slm- ' liar coin. But the expert shots in youth 1 were pot In the least to be feared, and their alms and execution lacked prs clsjon, . , All the old inhabitants polished up for gotten reminiscences. The Weather Bu reau was kept busy resurrecting statistics for use on such occasions A curious co incidence noted by the Weather Bureau lg that just exactly three years ago, No vember 19, 1J597, three Inches of snow fell , in Portland One rresh from such an Interview vouched for this Information: "Now tho earliest snow that ever fell In Portland since I can remember fell on November ?, 1893 And that was snow. Nope of your lukewarm, half-melted ice cream propositions like this It stuck, and It stuck hard. And It wouldn't melt for 15 minutes next to a red-hot stove Peculiar snow that. I had It examined by an expert. He found the reason It didn't melt was that in stead of absorbing heat It was frozen o solid that It simply reflected It back and made the stove all the hotter. No, I nev er read Mark 'fwaln's essay on 'My First Lie,' Nor that learned monograph on 'Lying as a Fine Art.' Say, where are those for sale' Now, as I remembev Portland weather, snow by rights ought not to fall In any measurable quantity before December 12. That Is the average dare of the opening of the snow season This Is simply iconoclastic for snow to fall so soon. If we keep getting our Win ter started before the Judge lets the flag fall, where will we ever end up' What good will our memories be then? Who will know when to put on his Winter flannels? But things are getting worse. Even our weather is getting fast. Here three jears ago, on November 19, 1837, three inches of snow fell. This ear we start In a day sooner. Do I remember anything else9 No. If you want any more Information, go to the Weather Bureau. Bay, you young rascal, If. you throw another snpwball, I'll chastise you within an Inch of your worthless young life," and he made a spirited lunge with his cane at a rosy-faced lad who could not resist the temptation nor the easy mark afforded by the old gentleman's tall silk hat. Potato-raisers in the vicinity kept tho men In the Weather Bureau busy answer ing telephone messages regarding the probable duration of the cold spell. In all of the farms there are quantities of po tatoes lying on the ground that have not yet been taken In, and also a large part of the crop that has not yet been dug. Continuance of cold, frosty weather would result in considerable damage. To these inquiries the only answers that comd be returned was that the storm causing the snow fall and the cold weath er was still central over the mouth pf the Columbia Blver, and that indications pointed to its continuance for the next 24 hours, with occasional light falls of Bnow. The city's juvenile population was In Its favorite element. Every lad that had a sled easily found a lassie to share It coasting together down hljls or being proudly dragged over the sidewalks, while the proud youth would! take on the airs of a spirited, cavorting horse. All the delights of the first fall of snow were enjojed. Snowball fights, coasting, wash ing faces, modeling snow men, that healthy youngsters of generations have followed, When the" thaw comes they will be almost! alone in their regret. Why Spare the White Criminals T PORTLAND, Nov. 17. (To the Editor.) Why such unholy wTath In the negro's case burned at Limon as per today's Ore gonlan, and only righteous horror In the Paterson case?

Haverly's minstrels could nave no com plaint about the warmth of the audi ence that greeted them last night at tbfc Marquam Theater; althcuxh the six was not such aa the show deserved. Seldom has a Portland audience been so demon strative. The- entertainment opens up well. Musically, the first part is a treat, the jokes are comparatively new, the end men'a songs catchy, and the ballads sung by men who not only have gord voices, but know how to sing. Sweetness and harmony marked all the music, in strumental and vocal. For the opening ballad of the first part Charles Wesley sang "Believe" vesy sweetly. His voce is a pleasing tenor, rathfcr lacking in volume, but the. qual ity Is soft and puro. Harry Lelghfn scored a success in hift solo, ""If I Thdught She Loyed fMe Yet," sung In counter tenor. John Roland, the basso, sang "Sail Ho" particularly well. Robust, deep and resonant In quality, his voice was a distinctive feature of the singing. J. J. Clunton, the baritone, sang '1 Do N.ot Ask Your Pity" art'stlcally. . Among the funmakers. Mazier put lots of ginger In his song, ''Cindy, Ma Black Beire. Do." Dan Wajdron introduced 4 now political fako Into h's dialogue Dan Allman, well known her in minstrelsy, sang and spun yarns In his inimitable style, But when it came to spinning yarpsj George Wilson, with tho funny Utt'e stutter and breaking away from his subject; caused no end nf amusement. His song with a whistling chorqs caught the gallery so well that he had no troub'e in having a very lively accompaniment from that part of the house. In the olio of specialties In tho second part Baker and Teal did a lively knock about act in acrobatic , dancing. Mazier and Conley sang a few 'tors and sprung stveral new Jokes in their comedy sketch. Gardner and Hunt were a good musical team, their work receiving hearty ap njause throughout. George Wilson ap peared In a monologue, and was as quaint as of yore, Hl3 windlns-Up speech was a burlesque political oration that wa a corker. The "b!g four," Connors, WJ dron, Morton and Martin, brought tho show to a close by a pantomime entitled "The Haunted Mill." taking the form of acrobatic and knock-about work, Tonight will be the final performance of the present engagement of Haverli's minstrels. MONEY IN BAKER COUNTY, Very FeTf Delinquent Taxes This Year. John A. Payton, Assessor of Baker County, who Js In the city it attend the meeting of County Judgej and Ae sessors, Is registered at the Impel ial. The assessment levy Is pretty high In Baker City this year, he said, fts reaches 5 M0 mills, but the property owners are paying their taxes much more cheerfully than usual, and he anticipates a much smaller list of delinquents. Coun ty warrants are outstanding o far back as 1891, and a large proportion of them are drawing S per cent Interest, but this year some $30,000 of the 1160,000 will be called in, and tho rapidly increasing wealth of Baker County will enable the Treasurer to cancel a goodly amount cat.ii succeeding year. Baker County warrants have been selling as low as 85 cents On the dollar, he said, but of late they havo advanced to 93 and 95, as capitalists have become more confident in regard u their final can cellation, WHERE TO DIN2.
