Troubles of Order of Chosen Friends
"Will Affect Few Oregon People.
The loss Ho Portland through the diffi
culties of the Order of Chosen Friends
will spread among only nine persons In
this city, who are the members of the
order organized In Oregon, according to
the books of the local council.
Dr. David "VVnlker. the agent of the
order for Oregon, said yesterday:
"I am not In a position to give figures
as to the membership of the Order of
Chosen Friends In Portland. "We do not
know yet that a receiver has been ap
pointed. I do not think, however, that
theio is any hope for the resuscitation
of the order. Any fraternal order get
ting Into the hands of a receiver, gets its
3eath blow. The members will get fright
ened at the appointment of a receiver,
and they will naturally refuse to pay any
more assessments, a provision upon
which the life of a fraternal order de
pends." A Second-street professional man who
has had excellent opportunity to study
the affairs of the local order, said:
"There are seven men and two women
who are members of the order In Port
land. One member, a fireman, would
have paid the order all he had to pay In
a. few months time from now, and he
would have got his $2000. Now this man is
so old that probably very few, if any,
fraternal orders will have him. One pro
vision of the order Is, that when mem
bers are 74 years old, they pay no more
money, and receive the face value of
their policy. There are too many elderly
people In the order, whose money had to
be paid, on account of death or their
reaching the age of 74. That's what
killed it."
S. C. "Wallls, grand recorder of the
order for the jurisdiction of California
and Nevada, visited Dr. "Walker yester
day, but he would not make an official
statement.
Death of Dr. Clarice.
Dr. SL H. Clarke, father of Mrs. Dr.
Henry loyes, died yesterday at the home
of his daughter at Falrview, after a
short illness. He had been in failing
health for several years, but was able
to bo about and was in from Falrview
only a few days ago. He was over 80
years of age. Dr. Clarke came from Ne
braska about 14 years ago with his
daughter, Mrs. Moyes, and had then re
tired from practice. He had made his
home with her ever since. About a month
ago they moved to Falrview. The re
mains will be brought to Portland for in
terment next Monday.

SOUTHERN OREGON INTERESTS
Spokane 311nlnff Men Headed for
Grant's Pass.
"There is quite an excitement in Spo
kane over Southern Oregon gold fields."
said M. D. Mahoney, an Eastern Oregon
mining man, at the Imperial last even
ing. He had Just returned from Spokane
from which city he said over 20 mining
men left for Grant's Pass within a few
days as a result of favorable reports
from experts sent down last Summer.
Mr. Mahoney became so Impressed with
the spirit of the Spokane people that he
has decided to visit Josephine County
Immediately with a view to getting hold
of some of the promising ledges there.
"Southern Oregon is an old mining
country," Mr. Mahoney said, "but it is
old only In placer mining. Millions have
been taken out of creek-beds and hillside
pockets down there within the past 45
years, but the country has never been,
prospected for lasting ledges. "When the
placer miners of early days failed to
make big wages with a pan or rocker
or sluice boxes, or did not succeed In
following some rich hillside pocket to its
hiding place, they left the country for
other placer fields. Many ledges have
been worked in a hap-hazard way with
the aid of an arrastra. in recent years, but
Just -as soon as the pay streak gave
out, the ledge was abandoned. Many of
these abandoned ledges are now proving
true fissure veins and Colorado capital has
succeeded in making dividend-paying
mlnes'of some of them. The Moffets, who
operate the Greenback mine, are Colo
rado people, whose enterprises always
bring other miners out In quest of prop
erty adjoining. In this respect mining
men are like sheep and Spokane people
are heading Southern Orcgonward. be
cause they know of some good quartz
mines being operated there.
"Southern Oregon is the most access
ible mining region in the world and its
mines can be worked the year around.
Its being so close and convenient has
worked against its development hereto
fore, but It Is now engaging the atten
tion of moneyed mining men at last,
and I predict a boom for that region
within, the next year."

FOOTBALL GAME TODAY
MULTNOMAH AND SALES! READY
FOR THE CONTEST.
Line-Up of the Trro Tennis Indicates
the Hardest Battle of the
Present Season.
Everything Is In readiness for the big
game this afternoon between the Mult
nomah and Salem football teams. The
field has been thoroughly drained of sur
plus surface water, and put In shape for
good. If not speedy, playing.
From a resume of the reports with ref
erence to the men on each team -who will
line up In today's game, a comparison
on the individual abilities may be made.
For Salem, Jarvls Is perhaps one of the
best centers ever produced In Oregon.
His passing Is extremely accurate, and
he comes nearer equaling "Watson, the
M. A. A. C. center, than any other man
in the state. The battle between these
two men today should In Itself prove to
be of ereat Interest to the cranks.
At guards and tacklq Salem will prove
to be almost twice the size of the local
opponents In these positions. Young will
play either in the position of guard or
tackle for the Salem team. His playing
has always been characterized as strong
and aggressive, and it is rumored that
In today's game he has promised to de
stroy every semblance of defense pre
sented by the M. A. A. C. team. Salem
has her line poslUons filled with Just
such men. and It cannot be seen at this
time where the Multnomah "pigmies"
will have any extraordinary chance to
score.
At one end Salem will have Captain
Olllnger, one of the best and speediest
ends that ever donned a football suit in
the "West. It will. In the opinion of the
wise ones, be a waste of time for Mult
nomah to attack this end In today's
game. Behind the line Salem will have
the mighty Saunders, whose line-bucking
qualities have never been excelled In any
local game here. Next comes Bishop,
who is a great runner behind a perfect
and powerful Interference, and who al
ways tucks the ball tightly under his
arms and follows his Interferers closely
until an opening has been made for him
by his husky linesmen, when like a flash
he leaves his guardsmen and skirts the
opposing fullback for a touchdown or a
handsome gain.
But those who expect to see a one
sided contest in favor of Salem today
may be greatly disappointed. For Mult
nomah, Captain Pratt can be relied on
to present a stalwart defense, worthy of
the club's traditions, and to stop, If It
be possible. Salem's mighty rushes.
Harmer and McKinnon will be conspicu
ous In defending the honor bf their club.
There has been some question about
Harmer being able to play, but it Is
hoped by his admirers that he will not
see fit to let his team suffer by his ab
sence if his health and will can prevent.
At tackle Multnomah will have Cap
tain Pratt and Jerry Busk. The end po
sitions will be filled by either Hamilton.
Mathena, Darling or Dunbar. Salem will
meet some stubborn resistance in at
tacking these positions. Behind the line
M. A. A. C will have Downs and Meyers
at halfback. These men have been
known to gain their distance against
equally as strong a line as that of Salem,
and today's game should prove no excep
tion. The position of fullback will be
taken care of by Davey or Rasch, the for
mer noted for his brilliant defensive "work
and the latter for his magnificent line
plunges. At quarter will be Kerrigan,
whose sure and steady handling of the
ball and running In of punts always
brings the grandstand to its feet Mult
nomah will have some substitutes in to

COMING ATTRACTIONS.
"Under Sealed Orders."
No author of modern times has achieved
a greater vogue than Kipling. Every
thing this Englishman writes is eagerly
looked for by the public This being the
case, it will be interesting to learn that
the great author's story, "Under Sealed
Orders," -will be played at the Metropoli
tan, commencing Sunday, December 16.
There are two distinct qualities in the
play, one emotional and the other amus
ing. It is a happy blending "tot two ex
tremes, and this combination makes the
play one that will never be forgotten
when It has once been seen. So strong
and powerful are the situations that

having as they do all the originality and

of men engaged In the secret service are
always surrounded with romance, and

Itlcliard Golden In "Old Jed Prouty."
The delightful picture of life In New
England, "Old Jed Prouty," presented by
Richard Golden's own company, will be

a matinee.
"Old Jed Prouty" does not require any
extended notice to excite the Interest of
the people in" Its coming. Mention "Old
Jed Prouty" to thousands of our theater
goers ariu they at once exclaim. "Wejj
I'll go to see It again." Like an old
master-piece, new beauties are discovered
In it with repetitions of attendant. A
magnificent company will appear in the
coming engagement. The musical fea
tures, for which this play Is famous, will
be rendered by a quartet of voices.
"Why Xot Fine the Bnrpflar?
PORTLAND, Dec. 14. (To the Editor.)
In the Interests of fair play to all, I
desire, through you, to call the attention
of the city authorities to a flagrant case
of favoritism. We have In the city a
large number of gentlemen who are en
gaged in the gambling Industry. They
may be seen from the streets at the slot
machines, and by those who know the
doors. In the various resorts. They are
violators of the law, as all admit; but
they go once a month and pay fines, and
that Is the end of It, till another month
rolls round. There are also other gentry,
and their lady friends, who continually
violate the law, and who settle In the
same way. That seems to be the policy.
I am not now raising the question of
Its righteousness or wisdom. The cant
ing hypocrites of reform who occupy offi
cial positions must answer for that. I am
only speaking for fair play and impartial
ity In the treatment of all.
Mr. Scott, the "gentleman burglar,"
Is languishing In prison. He is no more
a criminal than the gamblers, and minor
selling, woman-employing. Sunday-opening
saloon-keepers. He has as much
right to pay his fine and go on as the
keeper of a brothel. Why not let him
go? His $200 Is as good as the money of
these other gentlemen. Then there are
the gentlemen of honor who, robbed by
the gamblers, must In some way make a
raise, in order to try their luck again,
and who take the more manly method of
holding up the working men at night, and
if needs be shooting them down. Why
all this pother about catching these high
waymen? Let them come up with the
other gentlemen who pay fines, and then
go on with their enterprises. We can
have some more money in the city treas
ury, and we can learn to carry shotguns
(It would be out of order to speak of the
pockets of officials in this connection).
If we are to pluck the robber goose, I
plead for the same treatment of the
gambling gander.
