THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1906. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF AmsReraenti Today. CORDRAVB THEATER (Washlcjton street) "Tennessee's Partner." JJETnOPOMTAN THEATER (Third street) "Josh Sprueebjr." Da McKat "Wilt. Stat. There has been considerable talk about County Physician SJcKay going to be removed from office. Such talk has all come from persons who "would like to have Dr. McKay removed, tout none of it has been authoritative, and the matter has never been considered by the Board of County Commissioners, vho have the say in the matter. They are perfectly satisfied with the way the County Hospital has been run for the past two years, and know that a great savins has been made for the county In that time. During the two years from July, 1S8S. to June, 1898, inclusive, the county paid bills to private hospitals for the treatment of county patients amount. 4ng to J3932 88. Dr. McKay went Into of ce in November, 1S9S, and during the next year the county's bills for treat ment of patients In private hospitals was reduced to a little over $1500, and last year they were reduced to a little over 3300, thus effecting a saving in two years of nearly $9000. This has be"en, done by fitting up the County Hospital so that all kinds of patients can be treated there, and people now applying for treatment at county expense and who are not willing to go to the County Hospital are told that the county cannot do anything for them. The county used often to be lm Iosed upon by persons who were sent to private hospitals by their remaining there longei than was really necessary. The County Commissioners thoroughly under stand the whole matter, and have no de sire of running any risks of the county toeing put to so much expense In the future as In the past for the treatment of Tatietits In private hospitals when the county is prepared to take care of them. Vandalism. A teacher in the public schools some time ago purchased a plat of land at Woodstock, where she Is plant ing out an orchard and making other improvements. Last Spring she removed to her place a handsome young holly tree 'which was a favorite, and during the Summer she carried water a considerable distance to water it and keep it grow Jrg. On visiting her place a short time ago she found that some vandal had cut down and carried away the tree. Some of the people at Woodstock doubtless know who did this, and for the credit of that town should see that the boys who cut down the tree are punished. Some boys do such mean acts merely Trora 'wantonness, and others out of natural meanness. If they are taken In band In time and shown how wrong and how foolish It is to commit such depredations on a neighbor's property It may save them from eventually going to the penitentiary. This is not, however, so bad as the depre dations committed on the property of a former citizen of Portland, who wenj some 30 miles out into the country and purchased a farm and set out orchards on it. He had a magnificent peach orch ard and after It had got into good bearing some people of the region round about camo to his place one day when he was absent, drove horses and wagons Into his peach orchard and picked and carried away his entire crop. He concluded that his peaches were too good for such people and so uprooted all his peach trees and burned them. This is an actual fact, though many may deem it Impossible that such a wholesale robbery could be com mitted in one of the most populous, fer tile and wealthy counties of Oregon. Cmii Service Examination. The United Btates Civil Service Commission an nounces that on December 12 an examina tion will be held in this city for the po sition of industrial teacher (female), In dian stsrvice.

Wasts the Charter Amended. City Auditor Devlin Is' anxious that section 217 of' the city charter shall be amended by the coming Legislature. The first clause of this section reads as follows: "Section 217. At the first meeting of the Common Council in the month of January, an nually, the Auditor shall submit to the Common Council a statement prepared by him of the estimated amount of revenues for the ourrcnt year to be derived from taxes, licenses and all other sources, and the Common Council shall be limited to Its expenditures to be made for all pur poses during the said current year to the aggregate amount of such estimated reve nues." Other clauses provide that "all contracts made, debts created, or liability Incurred in excess of the amount hereby authorized, and limited, ara null and Void," and that members of a Council contracting such debts or liabilities shall be held personally responsible. This means practically that there is but one officer in the city administration, and Mr. Devlin says he does not want to as. suae so much responsibility. It might eucceed if the Auditor were an inspired projhet or a genuine mlndreader, or something of the sort, and could tell In fallibly what the revenue of the city was to be during "the curront year," but If he overestimates It there is bound to be trouble, and if he underestimates it there will be trouble also. Such a provision, if limited to the Incurring of an indebted ness, would be all right, but It does not work all right as it Is. It prevents the expending of money the city nas on hand, and which could be expended to good ad vantage. The charter, has many good fea tures, and also some defects, and the lat ter "will probably be corrected. Lieutenant Arnold Found. Lieuten ant S. Arnold, U. S. N., about whoso fate there has been considerable anxiety for the past few days, has been found in a Seattle hospital, sick. His wife left Port land Saturday in search of her husband, and she is now at his side. Lieutenant Arnold was inspector of machinery while the torpedo-boat destroyer Goldsborough was being fitted up at the Wolff & Zwlck er Iron Works here, and had resided in this city for about a year. He left here several days ago, to take a position in the navy-yard at Bremerton, near Port Orchard, Wash., and was taken lllv at Seattle. His room In a Seattle hotel was robbed in his absence and the thieves hid a portion of his clothing under a railroad trestle. The police found the garments, with his name marked on them, and foul play was at once Buspected. The police here were notified, and some of the cloth ing bore the firm name of Kramer & Kramer, tailors, here. The makers at once, recognized the customer's name, and thus Arnold's Identity was established. His Illness Is fortunately not considered serious. Extension op Fifth Street Line. Rapid progress Is being made by the Port land Railway Company on the extension of their line up Fifth street. The exca vation for the second track Is completed as far south as Lincoln street, and the rails are laid up to College street. The double track will be completed to Sher man street in a few days. From there down to Second street only a single track will be laid, on account of the streets not fadglng at Fourth street, and the crossing with the Southern Pacific track there. This part of the line will be quickly laid, and It will not take long to complete the line from there to First and Sheridan streets. The company has a petition before the Council asking for the right to occupy the bridge across Mar quam Gulch from Sheridan street to Porter, jointly with the City & Suburban Railway Company. This Is something new in the way of street railway franchises In this city, and what action will be taken by the Council In the matter re mains to be seen. Podltrt Club at Hood River. J. M. Garrison, of Forest Grove, the oldest poultry fancier In the state, who has been laboring In the Interests of the poultry business for the past 23 years, organized the Hood River Poliltry Club at Hood River Saturday. It started with 20 mem bers, many of whom are w6men, and comprises In Its membership some of the most enterprising and public-spirited citi zens of Hood River Valley, such as Hon. E. L. bmlth, S. F. Blythe. E, D. Caulklns. J..L. Gordon and D. N. Byerlee. They ex pect to doable the number of members at the next meeting, two weeks hence. It Is the intention of the club to raise the better varieties of poultry only, and It will hold a poultry exhibition at the fruit fair next Fall. Mr. Garrison says Hood River Valley 1b well adapted to poultry raising, and in a few years may be ex pected to rank as high as a producer of eggs and poultry as it does now for its apples. Proposed Change in Game Laws. Quite a number of sportsmen are In favor of making a change in the game laws, so that the open season for Mongolian pheasants and other upland birds shall begin on tho 15th or even on the 1st of September instead of on November 1, as at present. They say that the birds were well grown this year by September 1, and that by November 1, when the season opened, & great deal of shooting bad been done by farmers, and the coveys were all scattered, and it took a good shot and lots of hard work to kill the limit of 15 birds. Some say that when they were shooting over farms up the Valley the farmers declined to go out with them, on the ground that it was too hard work to find birds, as the coveys had all been scattered and the birds were too wild. It Is the desire of many to have the sea son open earlier, so that they may have a fair Bhow with the farmers at the young birds. Sale this evening at Calvary Presby terian Church.

To the average lover of athletics, foot ball during recent years would seem to have become Inseparably associated with turkey and the Thanksgiving period. The first holiday of tho Winter, when busy men relax from toll, now invariably wit nesses the healthful combination of a good dinner and an exhilarating sport. From all indications, the coming Thanks giving, so far as Portland is concerned, will witness one of the best and most ex citing games In the history of Multnomah field. The Eurcne team has had that best ordeal of training and experience a trial of strength and skill with an ad mitted superior. The California team was composed of all but two of its first and championship eleven. The Oregon boys In no way showed up Inferior, ex cept in weight, and clearly demonstrated that Oreson Is not a whit behind In the knowledge of the game and the ability to apply that knowledge. The Multnomah team this year, even though McMillan Is not to play, has pulled Itself together In a way to render the outcome on Thursday next extremely doubtful. From now on both teams will devote the. entire time cutting off the racged edges and perfecting team play. Both sides are exhibiting the proper spirit in a positive determination to win, and neither will admit defeat until the last whistle blows. PERSONAL MENTION, A. B.

ACKERMAS ON FA&E5TRIXA. , " Review of the Work of the Famoaa Catholic Musician Seraaon. at Hassalo-Strect Church. A large congregation gathered- at the First Congregational Church, yesterday evening. The fine musical programme-, enriched by the solo of Miss Mary Morse, was deeply appreciated. The topic of the address was "Palestrina; or. Music tho Handmaid of Religion." After outlining the conditions which led to tho Council of Trent In 155, Mr. Ack erman referred to the action of the coun cil In regard to the music of tho church as follows: "So little attention had been given to fitness 4n service that when one car dinal rose to Intone the mass tho whole college of cardinals broke into irrepressi ble laughter, so little ear had he. Ra phael's St Cecelia at Bologna was painted for this priest, who had pleaded, for the heivenly Intercession of the patroness of musicians that his defect might be cured. A pope asked one of his cardinals how he enjoyed the music in the Statins chapel, and was told: 'Methought I heard a drove of pigs grunting and squealing, for I could not understand a single word,' It was the fashion to take spme popular song and weave an Intricate harmony about It Dance music, love songs and drinking songs, with their rollicking movement, were adapted to the service of the ohurch. The tenor might be roaring out a drink ing song while the choir were chanting the Credo. It seems little- snort of scan dalous, and the service of the Church was being dragged into tho degradation that characterized the church. "These abuses were carefully considered by the Council of Trent. It was agreed that all secular words must be abolished; some thought that all harmony shpuld be discarded, and advocated a return to the plain Gregorian chant The matter was referred to a committee of cardinals, who sought to secure a mass that should be free from the common abuses and yet richer than the old plain song. The task was delegated to Palestrina, who loved music for its own sake, and who desired to serve the church. At the be ginning he wrote, 'Lord Enlighten .My Byes.' That reveals his seriousness. Then he composed, three masses, not be ing satisfied to leave the decision to one. That revealed his thoroughness. The re sult was 'more than satisfactory. His critics were pleased, the pope:. could, not restrain his delight, and honors and bounties poured in upon him. When he died they wrote 'Prince of Musicians' upon his tomb, and posterity has called him 'the savior of church music.' His music is still sung In the Roman Catholic churches, three of his motets are In Con stant ilso In the English cathedral serv ice, and all churches have felt the purify ing influence of his spirit. "What a splendid contribution to the onward march of the kingdom this prov ing the worth of music as tho-hmdmald of religion! Happier would the world be today If the great moral abuses of the church had been treated with the same frankness as the Council of Trent con sidered mUslc And the great pity Is that some man was not found to show how there might be a united church without the degradation of morals and the abuse of office and power, a man who could command both parties In the controversy, who could have brought about a peace able settlement and give the death-blow to schism in the body of Christ" BUILDING AND UNBUILDING, A Sermon by Rev. B. S. Winchester, at Hollndnr Church. Rev. B. S. Winchester, pastor of the Hassalo-Street Congregational Church, Holladay's addition, spoke last night on "Constructiveness vs. Defftructiveneso," taking his text from Matthew vtl7 "I camo not to destroy, but to make com plete." He said: "To understand the full force of these words, one must try to put himself In tho place of the disciples, to whom they were first spoken.. It will be remembered that they form a part of that conversa tion of Jesus with his dlEciples which Is cotnmonly called 'The Sermon or the Mount' Having gathered the dlsalples about him, he had begun his talk to them by appealing first to their hopes. This appeaPwe call 'the beatitudes.' They were all hoping for a 'kingdom,' albeit without much apparent ground for tho hope;- there were the poor, borrowing, un assuming, longing for a condition of jus tice and righteousness, tender-hoarted, high-minded, peace-loving, persecuted people but what could they do toward restoring the kingdom? Jesus assures them that the real kingdom Is to he made up of Just such people, that It Is really coming, and that it is to be a happy state. "When he had thus united them and aroused their Interest In the kingdom, he proceeded to set before them new Ideals, Ideals of social service within the new kingdom. The members of the kingdom are to be 'salt' and 'light'; the preserva tive and vivifying Influence In society. This was, indeed, strange news to those who were expecting perhaps to have po sitions and offices assigned them in ah army or in. the new 'government. Lest they should be caBt down in their per plexity and lest their minds should be too full of the thought of destructiveness, ho then hastens to compose their confused and perhaps alarmed minds by distinctly explaining to them his true relation to their past What wonderful method as a teacher! Qne that all might study and copy; first arouse Interest; second, In spire, and, third, remove prejudice and intruct, cpntruct- "No less wonderful than his method ae a teacher was his plan as a reformer. Not every seer has pursued this plan. Too often the Idealist has become a -visionary and. sought to sweep away all existing beliefs and Ideals and Institutions that he may start the world over again. History is full of Juat suoh instances. The an cient kingdom of David was built up In Just this way; It was wrenched by force out of the hand of the tribes who formed tho early settlers of Palestine. Tho re Uglon of Jehovah and the institutions of Judaism were founded upon fonte and prepared for by destruction. In Its turn, this kingdom was swept away by force and successively Assyria, Babylonia, Per sia, Greece, Syria and Rome repeated tho same process. Each came with the mfght of armies and overthrew and droyed what was dear to others In civilisation and what was sacred in religion. And fresh still in the memory of the disciples must have been the wars wth Antlocbus, Demetrius and Alexander. "And not merely In political history has this been true. If anything; even more bitter have been the wars that have been waged over Ideas that havo brought an enlargement to our knowledge of truth. One has only to refer to the dis covery of the force of gravitation and ths formation of the Copernlcan theory to the more recent discoveries of science, which have given us tho theories of Dar winism and of the larger evolution, and the still more recent discoveries of the biblical student and the theories Of the higher critics, to be assured of this. Nor Is one's sympathy to be altogether with tho discoverers and reformers In the con fllot; not all have shown tho respect for existing Institutions and for existing views of truth which Jesus showed, nor have all exhibited his tenderness In deal ing with those who hold such views. Too 6ften havo such pioneers In knowl edge shown themselves a destructive spirit; too often have they sought to do away with the Old that they might In troduce the new; too often have they im plied that the Introduction of the new could not be accomplished without the destruction of the old. "And so there have been the bitter conflicts which, have torn society and di vided peoples and overthrown govern ments. There have been the terrors of the Inquisition and the burning o'f witches and the heresy trials, and in the end the truth has come and has at last been quietly added to the sum of all our knowl edge and helped to make life larger. "Now. Jesus commenced In a far dif ferent way to Introduce now truth. No one before or since has brought to the world such a revolutionizing message as did he. But he protested, at the outset that he was not In any stnse a destruc tive critic or reformer. Not to destroy, but to make complete. Would that the men of aclence could have told us at the outset that they came with this Intent Would that that could have told a rev erent people, however benighted, that the discoveries t of science and the theory of evolution did not remove the people's God out of the universe, but rather made him a thousand-fold more a part of his world than ever. That the doctrine of evolution would bring to men, as they were able to bear It, the inspiring good news that God Is always near and always strong and always loving. But instead they began by denying miracles, by de nying 'special creation,' by denying all the churoh held dear and sacred. And o the world has had to wait for a gen eration until reformers could be willing to let the Old remain and the new make it complete. "Just so with biblical Criticism. The de structive and agnostic critic came along and told us, first, that Moses did not write the Pentateuch; that Genesis does not harmonize with science; that Isaiah was riot one, but two or a half-dozen that Job Was not as ancient as we sup posed; that David did not write the Psalms; that the miracles of the New Tes tament were either not true or that they did not mean anything. What wonder that those who have read and loved these eacrod books felt them slipping from their Btaep; that they cried out In despair, What Is there left of my Bible? Why could they not have told us at the out set, Look In Genesis first for God and soa how it teaches tho divine origin of man; look in Isaiah to behold the true preacher of righteousness and learn from him how to present truth to sinful men; look at the Psalms and behold how they crew as the hymnbook of a devout peo ple; look at the gospels and see that won derful record of a life that was human, but sinless; of a life that showed Its divinity by Us perfect self-control; thai proved its right to be our example by Its majesty and faultlessnesft by its 'dignity and grandeur, by Its glory of helpfulness and service? "This was the method of Jesus. Ho 'came not to destroy, but to make com plete.' Whatever had been useful In the history of the race to bring it to a higher plane of life should be useful still. Curses on the man Who should attempt to deb-troy the dot of an T or the crossing of a 't' All have their place and Reed only to be made complete." SOLD TO ENGLISH COMPANY Foreign Capital Invested in an Ore son Mine. A. P. Jones, who recently sold tho Magnolia gold mine near Sumpter to an English company, was at the Perkins last evening, on his way to California for his health. He said the new Owners ex pect to increase the number of stamps at the mine in Order to treat SO tons of reck per day. and a cyanide plant is also to be added for the purpose of treat ing the ore. The mine has been devel oped to the depth of 260 feet by tunnels, and the amount of ore at the dump ag gregates several hundred tons. , When, Mr. Jones left Sumpter Saturday, tho streets were covered with snow to a depth of six inches, and freighters had THIS DAY THE VSusic Safe BEGINS TRANGE Indeed that there should be no one In the whole city of Portland to buy out the best oavlnn the best-known himlnpcs In fh Parifir- Northwest, and carry on the music business that we have so thoroughly estabi lished. Our music store ought to remain In Portland. It Is needed here and somebody ought to display a little nerve and purchase the entire stock and continue on with the business. However, we have no time to wait, and today we begin selling out at retail the entire stock of musical Instruments and musical publications at prices which will show how deeply In earnest we are to dispose of our stock prior to our entering the arena at San Francisco. Now, It may be that some enterprising, intelligent person, or persons, will grasp the situation and stop this sale, by purchasing the entire stock at a most nominal sum, which Is only asked for It, and the retail buyer should therefore not waste a minute, but buy jiow all the music they will need in the next 20 years; and If a musical instrument of any kind is wanted, do not delay. We , .ve thousands of 'em, 'tis true! But you may arrive at our store a minute too late. Candidly speaking, we have been offered a sum for the entire business almost within the borders of what we ask, but until we get our price the general sale goes on. Store open evenings.

Wholesale and Retail Agency 351 Washington Street Portland, Oregon hopes of good sleighing. A large quantity of mining machinery, stamp mills, hoist ing apparatus, etc., has accumulated at the station, as the roads have heretofore been too soft for bearing heavy loads. As the Winter progresses, however, the ground will become frozen under the snow, and wagon-wheels will be dis carded Tor sled-runners, and freighting can bo carried on extensively. He thus expects a very busy season In the Sump ter hills all through the snowy time, as underground mining can be pursued regardless of the depth of snow or the state of the -weather. Mr. Jones, like all other Eastern Ore gon mining men, bellevos that district will prove the richest gold-mining region in the country, as the ledges are numer ous, massive and rich.
