THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER C, 1900. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Amnement Today. 2IARQUAM GRAND Grau Opera Company. METROPOLITAN THEATER "A Breezy Time." Highest Grade Manila Cioabh. F. W. Vaille, who has made such an enviable records aa government official in charge or the Philippine mail service, has sent several boxes of the highest grade of ci gars made in Manila to his personal friends in Portland. These cigars are put up in boxes as attractive in appear ance aa any of the boxes Which contain the best Imported Havana cigars on this market. Each cigar is wrapped in tissue paper and tin foil, and the high grade of the raw material used in the manufac ture of these goods is clearly proved by tho smoking qualities of the cigar itself, "which is as rich in the aroma of a speci ally selected leaf as are any of the best 23-cent Havana cigars sold in Portland. It 13 evident that the establishment of trade relations with the Philippine Islands will afford the people of the United States a new and invaluable source of supply for high-grade cigars at a modest price. With improved methods of raising and grow ing the Philippine tobacco, old-time smok ers are authority for the statement that In time the Manila cigars may practically supplant the Havana article in this mar ket. Counterfeiters Held to Answer. The examination of Thomas and Lew Dodson, charged with counterfeiting, was continued before United States Commis sioner E. D. McKee yesterday. Detect ives Kerrigan and Snow and J. W. Law rence, Secret Service agent, appeared as witnesses for the Government, and a rude electro-plating battery and a ma ch!ie for milling coins found in posses sion of the accused were produced in ev idence. Detectives Kerrigan and Snow testified to arresting the defendants and frdlng counterfeit money in their pos session. It is understood that the Dod-bz- bought a hack from Duffy, the other rcrson arrested with them, and paid him the largest part of the price in counter fe't money, which he passed off. The de fense offered no witnesses, and were lc'i to answer and their ball fixed at 51D00, which their attorney, Alex Sweek, fajj they hope to be able to furnish. The Dodsons and Duffy are no strangers to the authorities, and have the appear ance of being pretty tough cases. They thanked the detectives yesterday for the square dual they had received in the case. Scandinavians in Clackamas. a con siderable number of Scandinavians are settling in the neighborhood of Canby, in Clackamas County. Sevoral Swedish fam ilies came out from Minnesota last April and selected homes there, and this week a dozen more, who have been living near Ashby, Minn.. Joined their fellow-countrymen. Three women, who came direct from Sweden and Norway, have also Joined the settlement. These people ap pear to be well-to-do and are eager to get established In homes of their own. They are contented here, and It is under stood that they have sent back reports that will result in many others coming West, though they do not appreciate the glory of a boom and will say little as to the Intentions of their friends in the East or in the old country. FINI8HIN3 THE FEDERAL BUILDING. The site of the new Custom-House. which has been very quiet since the Bentley Construction Company got through with the exterior structure, will soon be en livened by the workmen engaged on the interior finish. The Congress Construc tion Company, of Chicago, expects to start at the work by the first of the year, and from that time for a period of 18 months manv artisans will hA himv. War. ble-workers, steamfitters, plasterers, gas- nuers, machinists, electricians, etc., will be needed to put the building ln shape for its occunants. thp Fpder.il nffloinla of the city. The various improvements will dc aeait witn by the Government, under four different contracts. One Block Impassable. The improve ment in the Sixth street pavement, oppo site tho Hotel Portland. Is not appreci ated by wheelmen yet, as the loose stones forbid the use of the bicycle for the en tire block from Morrison to Yamhill j street. As It will take several weeks to become firm, even fnr tpnms whwlmsn must make up their minds to avoid that portion or bixtn street altogether, or ! use the sidewalks, which latter course Is ! not comDatible with the comfort of the numerous pedestrians. Manager Bowers, or me- notei. would much prefer an as phalt pavement on that "block, but the Federal Government could not be Induced to pay its share of the expense opposite the Postofflce.

They all have the swarthy appearance which bespeaks outdoor life under a tropical sun, and they seem to enjoy the temperate zone all the better for their absence from it. Dysentery and malaria, they think, are largely due to the soldier's habit of eating more tropi cal fruits than are healthful, and the bowel trouble brought on by these Is aggravated by the hardtack diet in the field. Enjottno the Moisture. The warm, damp days of the past week have been enjoyed by the Oregonlans, who make no secret of their preference for moist weather instead of cold. When the light touches of Jack Frost were felt, several evenings ago, and the thermometer actu ally went down to 13 above. PortlandeVs who were thus reminded of Eastern win ters felt quite Indignant over the un timely visit of Jack Frost to a country that was such a stranger to him, es pecially so early in the season. For the 1302 Fair. At the regular meeting of the Manufacturers' Associa tion, In the Chamber of Commerce build ing .the matter of appointing a commit tee to discuss plans for the exposition in 1302. as recently suggested by the Board of Trade, was brought forward, on the motion of Samuel Conner. Th fallow ing men were named to confer with the D. P. THOMPSON FOUNTAIN ACCEPTED. . City Council Passed Resolutions of Thanks to the Donor for His Costly and Beautiful Gift. At the regular meeting of the Common Council yesterday, a commu nication was received from D. P. Thompson formally presenting the foun tain on Main street, erected by him, to the city, and asking that steps be taken to provide for the care and protection of tho same. A resolution requesting the water committee to take charge of the pub lic fountain known as the David P. Thompson fountain, and to exercise such care and supervision of the same as will maintain it In a condition creditable to the city, as the recipient of a gift so beautiful and costly, was unanimously adopted. The Council extended thanks on behalf of the citizens to Mr. Thompson by the adoption of the following preamble and resolution: Whereas. Hon. David P. Thompson has had erected a fountain of granite and bronze on Main street, between Third and Fourth, and has thU day present ed the same to the City of Portland; therefore, be It Resolved. That the Common Council. In behalf of the citizens of the City of Portland, does hereby accept the fountain, known and designated as the "David P. Thompson Fountain." and extends to the renerous donor the thanks of the City of Portland. Board of Trade committee: A. H. Devers. Charles Hegele. W. B. Struble. O. C. Helntz and D. L. Povey.

Gran's Opera Company Produce Sousa's Popular Opera. "El Capltan," Sousa's comic opera, scored a decided success for the Grau Opera Company last night at the Mar quam Grand theater. The large audi ence as the evening progressed be came more and more enthusiastic until a regular ovation greeted the singers at the finale of the second act. Thoroughly North American in charac ter, the music of the opera Is given a South American setting. Stirring music breathes In every line, the music that appeals directly to American sensibility. Echoes of Sousa's marches are heard ever and anon, the swing and rhythm of these catchy airs forming the theme for a number of the finales and choruses. A South American revolution forms the basis for the plot. A new Minister. Me digna, is appointed by Spain to the po sition of Viceroy of Peru. Through the machinations of his chamberlain, Senor Pozzo, a rebellion is started to depose the "Viceroy and place Cazarro, the ex-Viceroy, In his old position. The wily old Me dlgna Impersonates the famous chief of the rebels. El Capltan, and leads the in surgents a merry chase. He runs no chances. Should the rebels win, he comes In for a share of the plunder; should the Spaniards win, which through his blun dering they do, he regains his former po sition of Viceroy. Plenty of opportunity Is given during the course of the opera for spectacular marches by the chorus girls, representing rebel and Spanish sol diers. From a musical point of view, the com pany did much better work than in their opening opera, and it seems strange that Mr. Grau did not open with "El Capltan." rather than In the spectacular play. The chorus sang more moderately last night and consequently more acceptably. The principals were well cast, and the whole performance ran very smoothly. Around J. W. Klngsley, who played the part of Viceroy Medlgna and El Cap ltan. revolved the comedy element. He elicited much fun out of the character of the jolly but cowardly old schemer. His military make-up was a study in the ludicrous. In dialogue he was good, but in singing not much. Frank Deshon. as Pozzo, the chamberlain, received a warm welcome, and made the most out of the fun of the good natured character. Miss Mlchelena again received flattering rec ognition for her very good singing. Her brilliant voice was well snown in ner pleading song in the second act. Miss Lillian Knowles appeared as the Prin cess, the Viceroy's wife. Possessing a most attractive stage presence, gracious manner and pleasing contralto voice, she fully met the requirements of the part Pretty Edna Thornton was a very viva clous little rebel. Joseph W. Smith, the tenor, sang the role of the Count. Hi ringing voice as a rule won warm plaudits, but at times seemed to tire and sound slightly off pitch. George Chap man, as Scaramba, an insurgent chief tain, sang the baritone role welL "El Capltan" will be sung again to night, which performance will conclude the present engagement. t PERSONAL MENTION.

Is spending today at the Portland. In company with Dr. D. Fordyce. who travels with him as physi cian. He arrived yesterday from the North, having visited portions of the Alaskan coast In his tour around the world, which began last February. Lord Drogheda Is afflicted with rheumatism, and kindred complaints and his tour is for the purpose of finding relief. He re cently came across the Pacific Ocean to Vancouver, B. C, from Asia, having made an extended tour of India and Ja pan. From here the little party will journey on to Los Angeles, where they will spend the Winter, and thence re sume their travels to the Rockies on their way homeward In June. His lordship was formerly In the Brit ish civil sen-Ice, but since Inheriting his title and estates has withdrawn from offi cial life, and as he says himself, "be came a wanderer." Of all his travels he seems to have enjoyed his trip through Japan, which took several months, and ho Is much impressed with the enterprise and thrift of the Japanese, who have so recently thrown aside barbarism and adopted European ways. The Earl Is a tall, slender man, of ad vanced years, and begins to show the feebleness of an Invalid. His physician Is constantly at his side, and appears to take deep Interest in his welfare. They will probably leave Portland for San Francisco this evening over the Southern Pacific DENNY-RILEY CONTEST. Boxlnpr Mntch That Iai Attracting More Titan Ordinary Attention. The referee of the Denny-Riley boxing contest, which takes place at the Exposi tion building, will be picked tomorrow from the names of the most prominent followers of that kind of sport in Oregon. "Bud" Smith, of, Vancouver, the well known wrestler, and Jack Wilson, of II waco, are mentioned, and as both of them are competent, either may be chosen. Both of the men are In first-class condi tion and confident of winning. Riley left his training quarters last night for the baths, where he will spend the rest of the time until the contest. He says he will win in 10 or 12 rounds at the most, and looks as If he meant what he said. Denny feels Just the other way about It. but will not say in what number of rounds he will be declared the winner. Paine and Houghton, the preliminaries, have both been training hard for their 10 round bout. Those who know say It will be interesting and that the colored lad will win. The management will not be caught napping. They have everything in readiness to handle the crowd. It Is said that there will be more people present from outside towns than ever attended a boxing contest In this city before. WHERE TO DINE.

STORE OPEX FILLS ARE NOT NEEDED ELEVATED ROADWAY PROBLEM CAN BE OTHERWISE SOLVED. Guaranteed Method of PreBerriRsr Plank Higbivays Known and An. proved by Responsible Ex- iperts. The opinion expressed by an Oregonlan writer. In a recent Issue, that the gulches of Portland must be filled to secure per manent roadways for the city has aroused considerable comment pro and con. It cannot, of course, be reasonably de nied 'that the filling of these cavities would be beneficial to the city. So would the construction of a sea wall along the river front to prevent damage from the periodical floods which bring dismay to merchants In the low-lying business district. Unfortunately, however, neither of these schemes are practical or practlc able In the present condition of our financial resources, nor are they likely to become so for many years to come. This statement implies no disparagement or Portland's metropolitan growth, which Is fully recognized. It simply means that all cities have their limitations, and, to use a well-known simile, must "cut their garments according to their cloth." Neither the corporation nor Individual property-owners possess sufficient mon eyed resources at this time to confront the enormous outlay required to level these gaping chasms with the city grade. Dismissing the plan proposed therefor as attractive but not feasible, common sense suggests the adoption of the next best method of securing durable elevated roadways which is attainable. The problem of combining utility with need ful economy can be solved by continuing the use of plank roadways, but at the same time quintupling their present vital ity and longevity. That this can be done is an accepted fact, well known to experts In wood construction, both at home and abroad. Treatment of the planks with Avenarius Carbolinoum, the German wood preservative, is the one thing needful. It Is non-evaporating, penetrates the pores, Indurates against friction and Insures against dry rot and decay, the same as vaccine does against smallpox. These are not bald statements merely; they are supported by existing proofs right here in Portland. Witness the paving blocks on the spans of the Madison-street bridge, treated with Avenarius Carbollneum, also the checkerboard at the Intersection of the car lines at Third and Washington streets. They show no deterioration whatever and amply Indi cate how decay of plank roadways can be defeated. The city should act as reason dictates, and setting aside visionary schemes, avail Itself of the opportunity within Its reach and within Its means. DAILY CITY STATISTICS. Real Estate Transfers.
