THE 1I0ENDTG OREGONIAM, JIOKDAT, DECEMBER 31, 1900. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Arnnaementa Toiar MARQUAU GRAND Richard "Golden in "Old Jed Frouty." CORDRATTS "A Stranger in a Strange Land." METROPOLITAN "A Rag-Time Carni val." Lira m a Wide-Open Town. An East ern man who Is visiting Portland, having heard that the town was "wide open," as far as gambling and other vices is con cerned, has been strolling about evenings to see what he could see and hear what he could hear. He has seen and heard about all that is going on, and says that the license granted the wicked is no greater than that given to the good. The town is more open to street preachers, ehouters, Salvationists, etc., than any place he has ever visited. He says that on one evening he has listened to a poor woman, whom everybody considered demented. standing on a very public corner and ex horting and singing in a manner that was painful. "When rude boys guyed her, she lost her temper, and thus made matters worse. A little farther down the street he saw a small company who sang rather well till they had collected a crowd, and then a stout colored woman addressed tncra in Southern camp-meeting style till many were caused to fly to preserve their hearing. Farther down, the Salvation Army, with horns and drums, was warn ing the ears of unbelievers and making them tremble. The noise he considered al most enough to wake the dead, but a few blocks below he heard something louder still. It sounded to him like an arch angel singing In a wilderness. He atemmeo. the torrent of sound which came rushing down a dark street till be had reached the source, and found two men singing through megaphones, assisted by others with their natural voices. This he re marked was "sufficient, as Bill Jones said when he saw the elephant," and he has given up going out evenings altogether, Hope ron the Liohtship.

As it Is plain that the vessel Is needed on her station and is of no use to anybody on the beach, and as she can be got off for much less than It will cost to build a new one, the would-be contractors are confident that the Government will soon be willing to pay about hajf what the vessel is worth to get her into deep water. Sharp Frost. The sharp frost yester day morning caused many to approach the water faucets with fear and trembling, but, luckily, exposed pipes had not had time to freeze. The frost also brought around large numbers of birds robins, snowbirds, etc., all looking for something to eat. On such occasions everyone should remember to throw out some crumbs for the birds. They will be repaid by the sweet music of the little songsters when Winter Is over. The frost disappeared during the day, but the ice on puddles did not entirely melt. Last evening indica tions seemed favorable for another cold night, and the question was: "Are we go ing to have snow and a cold spell, or is it going to turn warmer and rain?" No one could tell which would happen, but every one preferred rain to snow. Traveling Men Attend Church. A delegation representing the Oregon and Washington division of the Travelers' A Protective Association of America at tended service last night at Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church, and listened to a sermon by Rev. Dr. Morrison on "Profit and Loss in the Economics of Life." The central idea of the sermon was man living for the perishable things of this world, and death coming and showing him what his empty life meant. Opposed to this was the man who lives up to the higher instincts of all that Is good in him, and In the survival of the fittest finds peace In God, as one who has fought the good fight. One of the features of the music by the choir was an excellent ren dering of Staines's "Sevenfold Amen." Death of Charles A, Fbbkman. Charles A. Freeman, well known to all cld-tlmers In Portland, died of heart fail ure at Warren, Or., Friday. Mr. Free man lived In this city from 1S52 until about two years ago, when he moved with his family to a farm at Warren. He was employed as clerk in the Ordnance De partment, at Vancouver, in early days, and afterwards as clerk in the treasurer's department of the Oregon Steam Naviga tion Company. He was clerk of the Port land Fire Commission in Mayor Mason's first term. He left a widow, one son and two daughters. Historical Societt Rooms Open. For Eeveral days the rooms of the Oregon His torical Society have been practically closed to the public. In order' that the work of classifying the material gathered during the year, and affixing the proper labels and tags, might be completed. This Is now finished, and tho rooms will be open every afternoon this week from 1 to S o'clock, and the public is cordially in vited to call. The society's collection Is growing In size and interest, and an hour or more examining it would be time well spent. Thtra Begins Loading. The transport Thyra began loading yesterday by taking en board over 400 head of horses at the Alaska dock. Two hundred and twenty of these were loaded In the fast time of one hour and five minutes. The Thvra will take about 5S0 animals this trip. A large quantity of hay for the voyage was stowed on the decks. The forty-six men who will take care of the horses during tho trip have signed contracts as Government i teamsters for one year. Hunt Club Elects Officers.

A large number of persons and .corporations will engage in salmon packing "in Alaska in the Spring. Fabulous quantities of salmon has been packed along- the coast of that territory of late years, and some imagine that the bays and estuaries along that coast are still swarming with fine salmon. The number of canneries in Alaska has, however, kept increasing from year to year, and the number of fish has nat urally decreased. A man who was en gaged in fishing there last Summer says there is -no place along the coast where 200& cases of salmon can be packed, and that all cannerx have to keep a small steamer to run from one place to another, somoclmes making trips of 40 to 50 miles to pick up fish, in order to make a pay ing pack. "With an increased number of canneries, more of this running about af ter fish will Kave to be done. Some of the, companies going to Alaska next season Intend to venture farther north than any canners have yet gone away around into Behring Sea. In the end, cannerymen in - after salmoa wiu probably 1 discover the north pole, and, if pos' slble, will can that. Faluno Ojtf in Milk. There has been a. great falling off in the amount of milk and cream arriving here from the dairies along "Willamette Slough and other points down the river. Some shrinkage is to be expected in the Winter, but In these days of alio such a great shrinkage should not occur. A few dairymen report their cowa as doing well, but the majority say that the shrinkage of milk is greater than they can account for. It is probably, the result of improper care and indifferent feeding of the cows. In olden times "Win ter dairying was practically unknown. Cows were allowed to go dry in -the early "Winter, and were Insufficiently fed and poorly housed. If housed at all. It was a common thing for cows to die of starva tion and exposure, and no disgrace for owners to have them called "on the lift" In the Spring. But in these days when ensi lage is put up by most dairymen and feed of all kinds is plentiful, such things are ( nut Known, ana uajrjtnun wjiu uumuiauu their business arrange to have about as much milk in Winter as In Summer, and receive a better price for it.

THE FIGHT FOR SIUSLAW. Congressman Ton true Writes Hon. R. A. Booth, on the Subject. Eugene Register. Sluslaw will secure an appropriation in spite of the report of the Chief Engineer, which st&tes that the harbor is not worthy of further Improvement. Hon. R. A. Booth is in receipt of the following letter, which he has kindly con sented for us to give publicity: "Washington, Dec IS. Hon. R. A. Booth: The Oregonlan correspondent, in some way, has been going outside of his ordinary business and sending messages that he ought not to have sent. I notice an Oregonlan containing a statement that Sluslaw Improvement had been 'turned down. I anticipated that meant trouble for me, and, sure enough, telegrams have been pouring In, and I presume there will be an avalanche of letters, petitions ana resolution of City Councils, boards of trade, etc It is true that the Chief or Engineers has eald that this harbor was not worthy of further improvement; that the Improvement procured and the pros pective commerce would not justify so large an expenditure of money. It Is also true that the committee Is fighting very hard to keep down the bill to $00,000,000, including present appropriations and the contracts that are to be authorized, and that it bad practically determined at one time to give Sluslaw Bay $1000 only for what is called maintenance I was not. however, discouraged particularly over this, had been waiting my time, and when the bill finally comes out of the House m friends will find that, considering the conditions and circumstances, the fight to reduce the bill, that Sluslaw will have had pretty fair treatment. Tell my friends not to be uneasy, and wait for the results. Even If the House should not put on any sum, which I feel confident, however. It will do, there is etlll the Senate. Senator McBride Is on the committee on com merce In the Senate. I suppose he will need something to do, and after we gev through with the committee on rivers ana harbors, there will not really be very much for him to do to secure fair treat ment for Oregon. Truly and sincerely yours, THOMAS H. TONGUE." 'PHONE EMPLOYES DIKED. Loyalty and Continuous Service Ap preciated. The Portland linemen of the Pacific States Telephone Company to the num ber of 75 were banqueted last evening at the Portland restaurant. The banquet was got up- by President Sabln as a mark of appreciation of the hard work done by the employes in moving the headquar ters of the system into the new building at West Park and Alder streets, and also for their loyalty In standing by the com pany while a strike was on at other points.

After the 1 courses toasts were given and responded I each was singled out for speech or story. and the brief retorts in lieu of speeches were enjoyed. It was quite late In the evening when the party adjourned, all with pleasurable recollections of the good cheer afforded. TEMPORARY REPAIRS. Morrison-Street Brldffe to Be Kept In Condition to Travel. Lumber Is being piled on the west ap proach to Morrison-street bridge for the purpose of repairing tho deck and keep ing it In condition for travel until more extensive repairs can be made in the Spring. The deck and supporting stringers have shown signs of decay for some time. The bridgetenders will put new stringers where they aje needed, and these will be- come pQrt o tne scleral repairs to the bridge The entire deck of the bridge will have to be renewed next Summer, as traffic was very heavy last Fall while Madison street bridge was out of commission. The present decking was put down, new, two years ago, and has stood well, considering the constant travel of heavy wagons. Jacob Doll Uprlsrnt Plana. The latest improved.

LAST GAME OF SEASON MULTNOMAH AND SALEM READY FOR. NEW YEAR'S LINE-UP. Speedr Game In Eastern College Style Promised New Faces In the Portland Eleven. Multnomah and Salem football teams are rounding Into fine shape for the New Year's game, with the evident purposa of putting up a hard, fast contest of the Eastern college style. Sawdust will be spread over the field, If there Is no rain, to Insure good foot work and open plays. As usual, there is a seeming deadlock over the choice of officials. Multnomah has named Fisher, ex-captaln of the Stanfords, and Mitchell, of Columbia Col lege, '99. Salem has not been heard from either as to ofllclals or the make-up of Its eleven. Tne maKe-up oi uus "" been changed since the Christmas game. The make-up of the Multnomans nas and any estimate of the team s strength must be drawn from the individual stanu inn- nt the men rather than from the record of the club during the season. Watson, Harmer or Holston will be at center. Harmer and Watson are tried and truoty. Holston. has lately gradu ated from the second eleven. He bids fair, because pf speed, fine physique and fir3t-class head work, to gain a perma nent place on the regular eleven next season. Seeley, who will play left guard. spent two years at Williams CoJloge and was considered the best linesman, there. At Stanford, this year, be easily made the 'varsity eleven, and In the Berkeley name he played all around his opponent. Edmonson, who Is too welt known as a stonewall player to need Introduction, ui ue 115111 t,uu-iu. Captain P- n and Jerry Rusk will bo In the tackle sitlons. They deserve praise for hav. Successfully guarded a position against Ich every opposing team this year ha. Ne times out of ten directed the attack'. Nntague. who has Vifrftnfor nlaved rltrl. nd. will be on the opposite side of thv Vino In tomor- geven one of one of University of California ne put up the beat Individual games ever seen on the Coast. Bert Kerrigan will be at quarter. As In everything he does Bert Is making a reputation in this position second omy to his high Jumping record. Txie halves will be filled by Downs and McMillan. Eddie Davey will be futlback. It makes little difference to him where he Is Is placed. He has held nearly every posi tion on a team and Is an all-around sure player. Some familiar names are missing from the Ine-up because of sickness or acci dent. Among these are McKinnon Dr. Myers and Fred Hamilton, all first class men, Hamilton played a steady, heady game throughout the season at left and until the Christmas game, when he was hurt. The Multnomah substitutes will be Hoffman, Mathena, Klrkly and Wilhelm. Hoffman. In case of accident among the backs, may be depended upon to do the team credit. He Is a graduate from the second eleven and he proved to be one of the best of the youngsters of the year. Mathena Is substitute tackle. In the second eleven he plays a game which will entitle him next season to a, permanent position on the club team. Klrkly and Wlinelm are excellent line men who have gained their weight. In. order that there shall be no conflict of noises and other things between the local and Salom rooters, a section of the south half of the grand stand has been reserved for the M. A. A. C. Equal space In the north half will be allotted to the visitors. DEATH OF T R. TURNBULL Had Been a RealGent of the East Side for 32 Years. Thomas R. Turnbull, an old resident oi the East Side and a California pioneer ot 1S53. died at his home, 9 East Eighth street, at 4:20, yesterday morning, after a long Illness. His health had been fall ing for several years, but he was able to be about, and at times to walk out ot: the street. Recently, he was so fecblu that he had to be wheeled In a chair. Mr. Turnbull was 67 years and 4 months old. He was born In England, and came to the United States when a boy. first set tling In Iowa. For a time he worked in the lead mines of Wisconsin.

In the early days of East Portland a literary and debating club was formed by the late ex-Governor Thayer. Colonel Van Cleave, Dr. Dav RafTety and others. Mr. Turn bull was more than a match for the best lawyers In the organization. There were times when, fully aroused, ho would talk like a torrent, marshaling his argument with skill and force, and drawing quota tions from the best authors, astonishing even his best friends. It was always a surprise that a man who had had so lit tle schooling should have been able to ac quire so much Information and speak with suce fluency and force. The only official positions he ever held were those of su perintendent of the East Side Water Com pany and School Director. A wife and three children survive him. The children are Archie and Ethel, of Portland, ana Richard, of Butte, Mont. The funeral will take place this afternoon, at 2 o'clock, from Dunnlng's undertaking parlors. East Sixth and East Alder streets. Inter ment at Lone Fir cemetery. Winter Bnlldlnjr. An East Side contractor says that the outlook for building Is better than It was at this time last year. He remarked that he had been consulted In a week concern ing the erection of 10 dwellings. In spite of the unfavorable weather, many dwellings are under construction. T. Barr, on' San Rafae'l.

They will cost 51500 each. The prospect ot getting a railway through Brooklyn to the Southern Pacific carshops has stimu lated building, and several dwellings are to be put up In that part of the city within a few months.

REALLY FUNKY COMEDY, "Stranger In a Stranse Land" the At traction at Cordray'a. That rarest of" rarities, a genu'nely funny farce-comedy funny In Its lines, funnier In Its action, and funniest In Its bewilder ing plot was presented by Managers Thall and Kennedy to a record-breaking house at Cordray's Theater last nlzht. Even were It possible to make a lueld statement of the ever recurring complica tions which are the cause of all the fun, to do so would spoil half the pleasure of those who will see the p'ay this week, ror the element qf surprise which ts lying In wait for the unsuspecting audience in almost every line Is the chic secret of the remarkable success of the play wrights, Sidney Wllmer and Walter Vin cent. It will suffice, then, to say that pie cen tral figure of the play, Jac TlnrndyKe. a scapegrace scion of a respectable English family, has but lately returned to his home from America. In which land he ha$, according to his letters, been conducting a cattle ranch In that wilderness desig nated on the map by the round dot labeled Buffalo. N. Y. As a guarantee that his ranch really exists, he brings an Indian to England with him, loses him in the shuffle at Liverpool, and arrives without him, which so disappoints the golden aunt who Is his hope in the future that he makes up Arthur Lowe, an old college chum, as a noble red man, and Introduces him as the real thing. Meanwhile, his sympathetic uncle learning ih me escape of the Imported Indian, finds a chief named Tamonee, employed as a walking advertisement by a traveling doctor, and launches him Into the household. The ad vent of a Scotland Yard detective in search pf the youth who Is Impersonat ing the Indian, and who. In consequence, has turned up missing. Is the third spoke in the wheel of mistaken Identity, which Is soon to be set revolving so fast that Its movements cannot be followed. A but ler volunteers to assist the detective in his search, and that his movements map- not be hampered by suspicion or his can ing, makes him up as an Indian. What happens may be Imagined. In dians dart from every door and shoot like meteors across the stage every three min utes. Lowe's sweetheart, learning tfca her lover Is disguised as -an Indian, loads de tective and Tamonee alternately with her caresses. Tamonee's proprietor, the quack, who understands the management of In dians, kicks Lowe about the stage and horsewhips the detective, and Is astonished that the discipline fails to take effect on his advertisement, who stalks about drinking, smoking and stealing with a lavish hand. From the time when the trouble that is brewing begins to dawn upon the audience, there Is not a dull moment. The spectator has his doubts now and then whether It will be possible to straighten out the tangled web that Is being woven before his eyes, but he has little time between laughs for such speculation. After two acts and a half of mlx-up, however, an American girl, who has been able to keep a partial command of her senses, succeeds in explaining af fairs, and all ends well, save for Chief Tamonee, who drank not wisely but too deep of a glass of Paris green, with which one of the distracted members of the household Intended to put an end to his misery. William Friend, as Jack Thoradyke, was one of those easy, graceful chaps, who are never disturbed by the havoc that Is rag ing around them, and his performance last night was more than good; It was excel lent, Charles Dudley, the uncle who intro duces Tamonee, and thereby gains him self the credit for causing all the grief, was admirably played by Charles Drake. The Indians, that is, the real Indian, the Lowe Imitation and the detective imita tion were given Into the keeping of Joseph Casack, Charles N. Lum. and Charles De Land, and they all contributed their share to the entertainment of the audience. Frank J. Gorman, as Watson, the butler, was by no means the least Important among the male members of the cast, and made much of his part. As Dr. Boiler, the I American quack, E. J. Mack did an ex cellent piece of character work. Miss Beatrice Norman, who appeared as Alice Wellington, the American girl, has many friends in Portland who were glad to welcome her again. Aside from play ing her part with her usual grace and spirit. Miss Norman sang two new songs. "Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder," and "When You Were Sweet Sixteen." In a charming voice, and with an expression that recalls the singing of Isadore Rush. Grace Thomdyke, the girl who makes vi carious love to Indian and detective, was cleverly portrayed by Otlllle DeLano while May Anderson made a typical flre eatlng aunt, and Estelle Wllmofs pretty face and figure made an attractive picture of May Holcombe. The audience warmed up from the first, and. Judging from the constant laughter which bubbled from all quarters of the house, they were glad they came.

There Is no matter of greater Importance to Eastern Oregon, Washing ton and Idano than the Improvement of the Columbia betwesn The Dalles and Celllo, and none should receive mre careful attention trom the. delegations of these three states in Congress than the securing of an appro priation to carry out Captain Harts' rec ommendations for this work. However, outside the Idaho delegation, the ques tion has not ao far received very great attention and no appropriation for this work appeared In the recent river and harbor bill, although It carried over 5V 000,000 for rivet and harbor Improvements In Oregon. The opening of the Columbia River to free navigation means much to the Inland Empire, for It means a reduction In freight rates on everything that goes into or comes out of the country. Wasco County has little direct interest in the matter, because of the fact that it is al zeady supplied with an open river, yet It is Indirectly Interested In the furtherance of any enterprise that will tend to build up the Interior.

Ther Are Each Caused by a Pestifer odb Germ. Ring; worm and dandruff are somewhat similar in their origin; each Is caused by a parasite. The germ that causes dan druff digs to the root of the hair, and saps its vitality, causing falling hair, and, finally, baldness. Without dandruff there would never e baldness, and to cure dan druff it Is neecs3ary to kill the germ. There has been no hair preparation tnat woujd do this until the discovery of Newbro's Herplclde, which positively liills tho dandruff germ, allays Itching Instantly and makes hair glossy and soft as silk. At all druggists. Take no substL 1 iutes. There Is nothing "Just as good."
