THE MOHXISO OREGONIAN, FRIDAY. JANUARY i, 1901. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF AtBSiementi Today. CORDRAY'S "A Stranger la a Stranro Land." METROPOLITAN "A Rat-Time CaralraL" ExPERniENTiKa "With "Weevils. At the general freight offlce of the O. R. & N. Co. Is a box of -wheat In which a num ber of -weevils have been placed In order that their work might be observed. They are lively, dark-colored, louse-like creat ures, and they eat out the heart of each kernel of grain In the box, thriving with out drink or fresh air. This particular weevil works In the matured grain and not in the straw or heads of the grow ing crop. It is a pest about granaries and warehouses more than In the field, and it is said that there Is hardly a wheat warehouse in the country that Is abso lutely free of the destructive Insect. It gets in its work on wheat that has lain a considerable time without stirring, and those who aim to keep their grain free of the pest move it frequently. There are many kinds of weevil, hut this Is the one that does the most damage in the Northwest. The little fellows like a warm place, and when the sun shines on the glass cover of the box in which they are kept they collect at the surface and bask in its rays with evident delight. It Is intended to keep the insects in this box of grain and see to what extent they will consume it whether they will eat more than the heart that they first at tack. Sheep Feeding Down Fall Grain. One of the experiments that is being con ducted or promoted by the O. R. & N. Co. is that of using sheep to feed down the heavy growth of Fall wheat. A few of the enterprising farmers about Dayton, "Wash , are assisting In this work this "Winter. Two thousand sheep were shipped up there from Morrow County. They are getting an excellent living on Fall wheat fields that must not be per mitted to make too great a growth be fore the proper season shall arrive. The theory Is that the vast expanse of Fall grain fields of eastern Oregon and East ern "Washington can be made to serve the purpose of "Winter range for sheep. The animals will keep down the excessive growth of grain in November, December and January, their droppings at the same time fertilizing the soil, so that the grain will make stronger growth in its proper teason. The sheep can be taken care of In the usual way until the Summer range lhall be ready for them. This promises to be a profitable feature of the agrl Sultural development east of the Cas sades, one that will link the wheat fanner trd the sheepman into closer relations. Active Market for Horses. The borse-selllng season did not wait for Spring to open this year, but has already itarted in, owing to the heavy demand for good draft horses for the logging camps. Quite a number of animals ar being bought for the British Columbian market, and these are shipped north, sub ject to 38 per cent Canadian duty. Those who have to buy horses now think they ire rather at the wrong end of the bar rain, as a well-broken pair, weighing 1600 to 18OO each, readily sell at from $300 to M00. Hfravy horses, however, are scare, md purchasers will have to content them lelves with the lighter animals, purchas ing more of them. According to experl tnced dealers, the horse ranges of East rn Oregon were pretty well depleted of their best animals last year, and so very lew of those to be brought in this sea ion will reach the desired standard in weight. "Horses are high here," a dealer laid yesterday, 'Taut they are worth 3 early double Portland prices In the woods of British Columbia, and a team idling for $300 here will bring fGOO across -he British line." Medical Examiners. The State Board sf Medical Examiners began Its semi-annual examination of applicants yesterday morning In the rooms of the Portland Business College. Dr. "W. H. Saylor, the president, held his examination in the morning; Dr. "W. E. Carll Jn ,the after noon, and Dr. Byron E. Miller, the sec etarj in the evening. Dr. G. "W. Mc Donnell, of Baker City, will preside at the examination this morning, and Dr. A. B. 3i!lls. of Salem, will terminate the ex amination this afternoon. There are 11 Applicants for state certificates at this tesslon, most of them new arrivals In the state. The examiners allow students to choose either of the three schools, regular, eclectic or homeopathic, and the tests of questions are previously made out In all of these. All the applicants have Slplomas from medical colleges, and sev sral of them have had years of practice in other states, but the present law com ae's all newly-arrived physicians to un lergo an examination before hanging out their shingles in Oregon. Oh! But They Were Penitent. To try and stop the pastime of boys who Insist on riding on freight cars on the East Side, policemen in plain clothes went over to the Alblna yards of the O. R. & K. Co. yesterday and arrested five boys whom they caught riding on freight cars. At first the little fellows looked on the matter as a good joke, but when they arrived at the city Jail they began to cry. Jailer Johnston made preparations to place them In cells, and one of the boys knelt and sobbed out: "Mr. Po liceman, I won't ride on cars any more. "Whip me and send me home." The other four boys joined in this chorus, and seemed so penitent that the police al lowed them to go, on receiving a promise that thev would ride on no more freight cars. One police official said: "Since the Follett boy was run over by cars on the East Side, too many boys have been stealing rides, and we want to prevent any more accidents." Jbttt Completed. Tne Sluslaw Jetty was completed a short time ago, and the contractors, Messrs. Hale and Kern, moved away bag and baggage, the inspector took a final look over the structure and made his report to Captain Harts, U. S. En gineers, and the Jetty was left to stand up to one of the wildest storms which has swept this coast for years. Captain Harts has heard from the Sluslaw to the effect that the jetty passed through the storm without any damage. The Jetty at Coos Bay, which Is the most exposed work of the kind on the coast of Oregon, did not pass through the storm so safely. The outer end was damaged for some 300 feet, and the Storm was so violent that the work has been stopped, but opera tions will be resumed at once. "Wants Juries Instructed in "Writino. Representative-elect Thompson, of Mult nomah County, has prepared a small measure, which he desires to introduce when the Legislature meets this month, it is a bill providing that instructions to a Jury shall be given in writing. The rea son is that Jurors frequently forget the instructions, or rather do not remember them correctly. This measure is the out. come of Mr. Thompson'sown experience. He says that he once served on a jury a:id thatbody of 12 good men and true were hung for almost an ontlre day because thrre was a difference of opinion as to what the exact instructions of the court were. After a deal of dispute the jury had to return to the courtroom and re cche the instructions again. Ordinances Signed. Mayor Rowe yes. terday signed all the ordinances passed bv the Council Wednesday. The most Important was the ordinance adonting the report of tlie viewers in the matter of opening and extending Seventh street. This long-delayed and much-neededm-profsneat seems now on a fair way of being carried out. As there may be de lay In collecting the assessment on the Custom-House property for the dam ages, this matter has been taken in hand and monev will be furnished to pay this asfsment so that there need be.no de lav on this account.

Injured bt a Fall. F. A Ely, a com mercial traveler, whose headquarters are at San Francisco, is laid up for repairs at the Imperial, as a result of a horseback ride over the Coast Range between For est Grove and Tillamook. He was re turning from the coast last Sunday In company with Mr. Bacon, a Forest Grove liveryman, and was leading his horse by way of a rest, when the animal stepped on the edge of the grade, which gave way under him. Both man and horse were hurled down an embankment 40 feet, and into the waters of "Wilson River. Mr. Bacon showed rare presence of mind by fishing the traveler out, but the horse was washed down stream some distance. Mr. Ely was dazed by Injury to his head, but managed to reach a roadhouse four miles away. He could not obtain medical treat ment until he reached Forest Grove, a distance of 34 miles, Tuesday, and by that time it was found necessary to burn out the "proud flesh" from his various scalp wounds. He declares he will not visit Tillamook any more in the "Winter time until a railroad connects that por tion of the Oregon coast with Portland. New Religious Societt. A new move ment, with the object in view of uniting true religion and true science, has been started in this city, to be known as "The Young People's Science-Religion League." The leaders of this movement think that it is possible to show to the comprehen sion of intelligent, thinking people, that every spiritual truth has a scientific basis, and that every scientific fact has a spirit ual foundation. The first public meeting of the league will take place Sunday, January 6. at Artisans' Hall, Abington building. Third street, near "Washington, at 2:30 P. M. D. Soils Cohen, one of the ablest speakers in this city, will open the meeting with a paper on "The Unity of Scientific and Religious Truths." A cor dial Invitation is extended to all thought ful persons to be present. Kennel Club's Annual Meeting. At the annual meeting of the Portland Ken nel Club, held at the Chamber of Com merce last evening, the following offi cers were elected: President, Frederick "V. Holman; vice-president, J. R. Taylor; treasurer, P. W.Llngley; secretary, "W. "W. Peaslee: board of directors, "W. F. Bur rell, T. J A. Tledemann and C. F. "Willis. The treasurer's report showed about $140 on hand. About $1500 was handled In the year. The new board of directors will have its first meeting in February, when the matter of holding a bench show in Portland, which was favorably discussed, will be determined. It was decided to In vite women to become members of the club. The meeting was largely attended and enthusiastic. Snow is Predicted for Today. Cold weather for Portland Is what Forecast Official Beals foresees in the weather con ditions. After receiving reports last night from the North and East that Indicated that the North Pacific Coast storm was moving southward, he made this state ment: "As this storm moves southward, the danger Is that the cold weather of the North will move down with It. Al ready there has been snow at Seattle and "Walla "Walla, and the temperature has fallen rapidly. During Friday the weather here will probably grow colder, and if the present conditions remain there will be snow. Northwest storm warnings are displayed at the Oregon and Wash ington ports." Who Pats the Bill? Some philan thropic citizen is needed to come for ward and pay the board bill of a Chinese woman who was in the county Jail for eight days.- No one can be found who put her in the jail, nor who is respon sible for her board. A bill for the board has been presented to all the officials connected with the United States Court, but neither the United States Marshal nor his deputies nor the clerks nor any one around the court knows anything about the poor woman. The jailer might look on his visiting list and see whether the woman was not a guest. She was In the Jail, and she was boarded for eight days, and somebody must be responsible, but who Is this somebody? Connor. Goes to Bremerton. William Connor, ex-Constable for the Portland justice district, has received notice of his appointment as a superintendent of con struction at the Bremerton navy-yard on Puget Sound, and he left last evening for his post of duty. He is a stonemason by trade, and has officiated as superintendent in the construction of several Government works In the Northwest lighthouses and other similar structures. Last Spring he passed a creditable civil service examina tion. Senator Simon took with him to Washington Connor's application for as signment to duty, and a prompt return was made on it Senator Hanna Mat Come. San Fran cisco commercial bodies have Invited the Ohio delegation in Congress to witness the launching of the battle-ship Ohio in Februarv. It Is expected that the dele gation will then visit Portland and other Northwestern cities. The Chamber of Commerce yesterday Invited the Ohloans to come to Portland and be entertained, and notified the Pacific Coast Jobbers' & Manufacturer's Association of its ac tion. Congressman Grosvenor will come with the visitors, and so will Senator Hanna, if he is not too busy with the inauguration preparations. Elks May Build. The Order of Elks In Portland Is prosperous, and, having funds In hand, propose to buy a quarter block on which to build a hall. If they can find a good bargain. They think this a more profitable way of Investing the money than to put it out at interest. The committee which has the matter in hand consists of Alex Sweek, A. D. Charlton, D. Soils Cohen and R. W. Hoyt, and they will be pleased to receive propositions from persons who have the kind of a quarter block they want to sell at a bar gain. They are looking out for a "snap." Incorporation.

Xeiv Yorker Register In Celtic at a Portland Hotel, and Talks About the Lnngnage. The name and address, "M. J. Hene han. New York," were written In the Im perial Hotel register yesterday, but only the man who wrote them could make them out, because they were in Irish. The signature looked as if it might be a cross between a Greek legend and He brew epitaph, but Mr. Henahan main tains that it is plain as the nose on a man's face to those who are up In Celtic Ever since he saw the light of day In Galway, some 33 years ago, Mr. Henahan has been partial to the Irish language, and he thinks himself considerable of a master of it. He has taught classes In Irish at Providence, R. I., and New York, not for profit, but merely as a pastime and for the patriotic purpose of keeping Celtic lore alive In modern times. "Irish is by no means a dead language," he said yesterday, "as It is the only one spoken by many of the peasantry of Ul ster, Munster and Connaught. In the old country. It has been taught In the pub lic schools of nearly every county in Ire- land, since the ban was taken off It by the British Government, a few years ago. The Irish people have no hope of ever obtain ing their independence, but they love their old traditions and they will always keep the Celtic language alive for the sake of tracing back to the origin of geographical, historical and biographical names. Several papers are published In the Irish language, and these have quite a circulation over the island, as well as among the Irish people abroad." Mr. Henehan exhibited a paper he car ries with him. whose title he said means "The Sword of Light" The head placed over the column of Important events was "The Ways of the World." Mr. Henehan thinks there Is a marked similarity between the Irish and Greek tongues, while that of the German people also bears some resemblance. There are but 18 letters in the Irish alphabet, and people acquire the language with re markable ease when once grounded in Its fundamental elements. He pursues its study for mere love of It but does not ex pect to open a school In Portland, as he will be too busy here attending to his duties as resident agent of the Carnegie Steel Company? of Pittsburg, Pa. COMING ATTRACTIONS. Biff Advance Sale for the Boston Lyric Engagement. The sale of seats for the engagement of Collamarinl and the Boston Lyric Opera Company at Cordray's theater, beginning Sunday, January 6, opened yesterday, and more than fulfilled the expectation of the management Never in the history of Cordray's theater has there been such a demand for seats in advance of the open ing of an attraction. All day long there was a line Of people at the boy.-offlce win dow, and many persons purchased seats for every performance at which Colla marinl will appear. It is safe to say that the success of the noted singer's Portland engagement is assured before it begins. It Is a matter for congratulation that this is so, for Portland has had too few really good musical attractions In the past, and such support as the Collamarinl sale in dicates will encourage managers to give Portland more good music. Colonel Thompson haa kept his promise regarding the suppression of speculating in tickets. All sorts of means were tried yesterday to get hold of large blocks of tickets, but a careful watch was kept and no person was allowed to purchase more than six tickets for any one per formance. Colonel Thompson, In view of the large demand that Is being made for seats for the Collamarinl nights, announces that all seats reserved lh advance must be called for by 3 o'clock on the day of per formance, or they will be re-sold. "The Belle of Xctv York." George W. Lederer's original Shaftes bury theater, London, and New York-Casino production, "The Belle of New York," will occupy the boards at the Marquam Grand, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, January 8, 9, 10. This organi zation Is the same which, after a season of 250 nights of pronounced success at the Casino, New York, went to London, and for 697 performances played at the Shaf tesbury theater, London, before the most enthusiastic of audiences. The costuming this season of the "The Belle of New York" Is superb nothing like them have ever been seen In this country. They are from the designs and plates of Bu rope'se most clever artists and designers. "Tne Belle of New York" Is by far the brightest and liveliest of all the Casino pieces, and Its rapid action gives a chance for the introduction of numerous chor uses and ballets of exceeding beauty. The girls who have been selected for these numbers are saldl to bi. the fairest of all who have graduated from the Ca sino, and their capture of social London proves the strongest endorsement that could be given to the Casino's reputa tion as a conservatory of beauty. The sale of seats will open to morrow, Saturday mornng at 10 o'clock. "The Day of Atonement." The sale of seats for Phil F. Rogoway's play, "The Day of Atonement" will open at 10 A. M. today at the Marquam box offlce, and not January 10, as erroneously announced It will be produced January 7. Those who have redd the manuscript and seen the rehearsals speak In unequiv ocal praise of the play, whlch is a beau tiful 5-act romantic drama with strong situations. Its plot is strong and is said to hold the auditor's attention from be ginning to end. It Is promised that the cast is in capable hands, the author him self appearing as tho Siberian ex-con-vlct Scottish Concert. A Scottish concert will be given at Au ditorium Hall. Friday evening, January 4, by Thomas J. Scott. Scotland s fa mous tenor and humorist, assisted by Mrs. Walter Reed. A feature of the enterl talnment will be Highland piping and dancing. Following is the programme: Bagpipe music McArthur and Moon Solo '"Sons of Bonnie Scotland" Thomas J. Scott Solo "Down the Burn Davie Lad".... Mrs. Walter Reed Dancing "Highland Fling" Mr. J. P. Robertson Solo "Mary" Mr. Scott Duet "Crooket Bawbee" Mrs. Reed and Mr. Scott Bagpipe music McArthur and Moon "Solo "The Land o' the Leal".. Mrs. Reed Dancing Sword dance Mr. Robertson Solo "Battle of Stirling" Mr. Scott Solo "Absent"' Mrs. Reed Duet "O Wert Thou in the Cauld Blast" Mrs. Reed. Mr. Scott Accompanist. Miss Pearl Smith. "A Turkish. Bath." The announcement that the "Turkish Bath" company will be seen at the Met ropolitan next Sunday and all week will be received with pleasure by all classes of our theater-goers. The label of approval has been placed upon the play by critical audiences every where and the company engaged in its production is a capable collection, of far ceurs. It Is Indeed a pleasure to offer sincere recommendation to an organization so de lightfully free from those features which too often mar farce-comedy productions and such an opportunity is offered in speaking of F. A. Wade's "Turkish Bath" company. This 16 the kind or entertainment to which people can take their families and the parents and child laugh together in enjoyment. Seata are now selling. FREE LIBRARY OPENING. Celebration of the Event to Be Held Tomorrow Night. The Portland Public Library will open its shelves next Monday for the circula tion of books. Tomorrow evening at -8 o'clock a public meeting on the upper floor of the City Hall will be held to celebrate the event Judge George H. Williams will preside, and short addresses will bo made by Mayor Rowe, Rabbi Ste phen S. Wise, W. D. Fenton. R. K. War ren, chairman of the School Board, and others. For a year past the library rooms have been in constant and increasing use, so that the average daily attendance for the month of December, based on a count made each hour during the day, was 224. The librarian believes that this rate is not likely to decrease, for, although many books which now have to be read in the library will be taken home, the increasing popularity of the library will bring new readers. As few- restrictions as possible will be Imposed on those who wish to draw books. Any person may have the use of the library who Is personally known to the librarian or is recommended by a person whom the librarian considers re sponsible. The applicant must ajso agree to abide by the rules, pay fines., and pen alties, and return books In good order and within the time prescribed. This is the first time a library has been opened In Portland to such free use, and the directors oonslder It an event worth noticing. But -as this Is only one of sev eral clrcumsti nces which shows the prog ress of the free library movement, con sideration will be jrlven at this meeting to the need of libraries, not only in Port land, but throughout the state. AT THE TEMPLE BETH ISRAEL Kerr Prayer Book Introduced Fort nlchtly Talks to Pupils. Rev. Dr. Stephen S. Wi3e will preach this evening at Temple Beth Israel, on "Parents' Duties and Children's Dutlful nesa." The services of this evening and several evenings to come, will be con ducted according to the union prayer book, edited and published some years ago by the central conference of Ameri can Rabbis. This prayer book is pat terned after the model of tho traditional Jewish prayer book, but differs from the latter in so far as it contains an English paraphrase instead of the original He brew. This union prayer book has now been adopted by more than 150 congre gations in this country. The Board of Trustees of the congre gation desire to make special announce ment that strangers will be most heartily welcomed at all services held in the Tem ple. These begin on Friday evening at 8 o'clock, and Saturday morning, at 10. The first of a series of fortnightly talks to the pupils of the Beth Israel religious school will be given by D, Soils Cohen, Sunday morning, at 11:30 o'clock.

The police fund, obtained by a, levy of 1 mills upon the taxable property of the city, has been exhausted, and the point at issue in this case is whether or not the Council has the authority to pay the police department from the general fund, or to transfer moneys from the gen eral fund to the police fund. The Council has declared that it has no jurisdiction under the charter to do this, and it will now be for the courts to confirm or reject this declaration. MISSIONARY SOCIAL UNION.
