Chihbtmas Poultrt, For the past lew days it looked as if there was a. -seareltv of poultry in the markets, and some nerv ous people began to fear that they might not be able to have -the usual turkey for Christmas dinner. Testerday Christmas poultry began to pour in a little too early, and the sidewalks along Front street were plied with coops of turkeys, chickens, geese, etc., and commission-houses were overstocked with dressed turkeys and chickens. Buyers were holding back, mostly on account of the weather, and partly In hope of prices declining, and good dressed turkeys were selling for 15 cents per pound, with but few purchasers, for few care to have turkey for dinner on Sunday when they have got to 'eat turkey on Tuesday. The main supply ot turkeys, etc, will begin to arrive Satur day, and their prices for Christmas will be arranged. It will be good for the con sumers if Eastern turkeys flood the mar kets and put down prices, but bad and unfair for tho turkey-growers of this state, who are entitled to a fair price for their birds. Disfigured a Pilulr. It Is a fortunate thing that not many teams have to de liver freight at the City Hall, as it ap pears that not all teamsters are able to navigate the sharp turn In the driveway to tho west enrance under the porte cochcre. Some time ago a teamster drove i-to the stone railing on the outside ot the roadway and mads a wreck of it, which was a long time In being repaired. A day cr two ago another teamster, drlv irg a delivery wagon, ran into the base of one of the stone pillars supporting the p-trte cochcre and knocked u spawl off It as big as a soup plate. Just bow this dlsliguremcnt to the stone is to be re paired has not been decided. Teamsters ot ord.nary experience should be able to drlo to the entrance of the City Hall without disfiguring the building, even it the turn is a little sharp, as there Is Twenty of room. Paper Chase Posttoned. Owing to a number of people who find it impossible to r'de on Saturday afternoon, the paper chapo has been postponed until .New Year's morning, rain or shine. The hares tti.l start promptly from the head of Kast Barnslde street at 10 o'clock. Those de siring to see the start and nnlsh will take the East Ankeny car, which passes within a block of the start, which Is only a short distance from the finish. As the courso is very slow and safe, it is hoped a.l of the equestrians of Portland will participate in the run. The riders who care to take ditches and hurdles will And they have been well looked out for. The i spectators will be able to see the riders several times during the chase by walking only a few blocks. This will be the nrst ride under the auspices of the Hare and ,"Hounds Club, recently organized. ever Carries an Umbrella. foreign ers who have been misinformed In regard to the climate of Oregon Imagine that every resident of this state carries an umbrella as constantly as he wears .clothes. This Is a great mistake. C Beal. who has been here since: Mount Hood was a hole in the ground, and is 71 (years old, was met yesterday vrHnout an umbrella, and said he had never usea one. Many a man who reads this will howl In disgust as he thinks of the fortunes he has squandered in umbrellas, needlessly. Mr. Beal has no moss on his roof, and is as healthy and as hearty and as strong and well as he ever has been (of late), and has no idea why so many people carry umbrellas. Will Resume Work. The Saldern log ging camp, at Gray's River, Wash., will start up on the first of the new year, after a shut-down of three months, the result of an accident to a locomotive. The engine is now at Wolff & Zwicker's Iron works, receiving the finishing touches in Its repairs, and will be shipped next week down tho Columbia to Grays River. The resumption of work at this camp will give employment to 50 or 0 men, Winter and Summer, as a recently constructed railroad renders the move ment of logs from the hillsides to the river bank convenient, regardless of the weather. Salvation Armt. The Salvation Army will have a .series of special meetings at Columbia Hall, 12S First street, as fol lows: Saturday and Sunday, welcome meetings of Major and Mrs. Cousins, who have Just arrived from the East to take the oversight of the army's opera tions In Oregon, Washington and Idaho; Tuesday (Christmas) free dinner for the poor, served from 11 A.

Everybpdy will be glad that the sun can get no 'further away, as the days are so short now that one can hardly turn around in them. When the sun has reacned this point it shows a disinclination to return, and seems to sulk and hang back for several days, but it has to come, and in about two weeks there will be a noticeable in crease in the length of the aay. There has been so much cloudy, gloomy weather of late that the short daya have seemed shorter and darker than usual, and in many places it has been necessary to keep lights burning nearly all day. Founded in the 'COs. The founding of the Bank of British Columbia marks an era In the history of the Northwest well remembered by pioneers, who will miss the old, familiar name in the change which is soon to take place. It was at the time of the Frazer River excitement in the '60s that J. D. Walker came from London, England, accompanied by W. C Ward and Edwin Russell, and established these banks In San Francisco, Portland, Victoria, New Westminster and Cariboo. Mr. Walker was the manager, and soon after the banks were started Mr. Russell was made manager of the Portland of fice. At that date the only other bank in this city was that of Ladd & Tilton.

Train Stopped bt a Landslide. Yes terday afternoon's O. R. & N. passenger was delayed by a landslide at Dodson's Point. Heavy rains caused the old slide to become loose and It was Impossible for the train to get through last night. It was expected, however, that the crews of section men would have the slide bridged over so that the belated train would arrive at 6 o'clock this morning. Residence Sold Cheap. At the auction sale at the Courthouse yesterday morn ing the house and lot at 655 Flanders street was sold for JGO00 to Charles Dlcrke, whom It Is understood will arrange to use the residence as a conservatory ot music.

A footpad treated J. F. Stephenson, of Oregon City, to a rude surprise last night on Fourth street, in front of the County Jail, by stepping from behind a tree and saying, "Shell out." The footpad leveled a revolver and Etephenson had to part with Just Jl 50. The robber said, "Thanks." and walked off.

Nixon, receiver of the Portland Sav ings Bank, will not be able to pay the creditors of that concern a 5 per cent div idend before Christmas, as he had intend ed to do. It is not his fault that he is unable to do so, as the delay has been caused by the stormy weather. He suc ceeded in selling something over 5000 acres of timber land In Tillamook County and the money 11 in bank here, but it is re quired that he shall pay up all back taxes on the land before the money will be turned over to him. Every day for two weeks he has gone to Astoria, In hope that the steamer would sail for Tillamook, and every day the weather was so bad along the coast that she could not pass out of the river, and every night ho has returned home to try again the next day. He figured on making the trip over land, but learned that the stage no long er went through and that he would have to cover 20 miles on horseback, In which there are streams unbrldged, and, when In flood, unfordable, and In such wild weather, the journey was practically im possible. The dividends will be paid In a few days. Just as soon as Mr. Nixon can get to Tillamook to pay the taxes on the lano sold, and get back. Perhaps It Is Just as well that he was unable to pay the dividend before Christmas, as many who received the money would have considered It "found" and would have squandered it on Christmas presents, while if they get it at the beginning of the year they will put it In an old stocking and save It.
