One Hunter's Sad Experience. The
life of a duck-hunter is not always alto
gether a happy one. A large number were
out for ducks Sunday, and while som
made very fair bags, the greater num
ber had poor sport. The best shooting
was done over on the Columbia bottoms.
On Sauvle's Island, there was snow, and
10 Inches fell there Sunday night. Snow
on the ground makes It rather cool for
one to be comfortable sitting out In a
blind. One sportsman who has a large
preserve rented and a man employed to
look after his shooting and'feed the ducks
bad a rather unpleasant experience Sun
day. He had directed his keeper to build
a new blind on a lake where he had not
been shooting. As It is desirable to have
decoys out by daylfeht. In order to get
the early shooting, be and the keeper
started two hours before daylight for the
new blind, loaded with 18 live decoys and
200 cartridges. They tramped through the
darkness for three miles without finding
the new blind and then the keeper said
be was lost- Then Captain Riley took
the lead, and waded a slough up to his
armpits, which took the keeper up to his
neck, and finally found the new blind, and
by this time he was s mad that he con
cluded not to shoot. He also found that
the keeper had let some one ehoot over
his preserve In the middle of the week,
and this did not add to his happiness. He
came home without ony ducks, and not
pleased, either.
Pleased With Reduction. Large num.
bere of people are calling at the water
works office to pay their water rates, and
many of them take occasion to express
their satisfaction with the reduction of
25 cents on their bill. One woman said 25
cents is not much, but in the course of a
year It will buy a pair of shoes, and an
other said the reduction enabled her to
subscribe for a magazine she had long
wanted, and so on. Very many speak of
the reduction and express their satisfac
tion. The reduction is about the most
far-reaching that could have been made,
as it not only applies to houses, but to
stores, factories and every place where
there are sanitary appliances. The reduc
tion of 25 cents amounts to $28,000, almost
10 per cent of the Income from the sale of
water. Water rates here appear high to
residents of some Eastern cities, but com
pared with the rates charged here before
the city bought the water works, they
are very low. In most Eastern cities
there is either a direct tax on property
lo help support the water works, or a
frontage tax on all property on streets
where there are water mains. Portland
has no tax of any kind for the benefit of
the water works, and the cost of opera
tion, maintenance and Interest on bonds
are all paid from the water rates, and
any surplus. Instead of going Into a sink
ing fund, is used on extension of mains
and other betterments.
Switchman Crushed to Death. That
he had given the signal which started
the cars and led to the accident causing
his death, formed part of the evidence in
the case of Lloyd B. Egbert, heard at the
inquest before the Coroner yesterday. It
was shown that Egbert, who .was em
ployed as a switchman by the Northern
Pacific Terminal Company, was crushed
to death as he stood upright between two
vestlbuled cars he was coupling, last Sun
day, in the Terminal yards. Egbert was
30 years old, and came to Portland last
July. Witness testified that the cars work
automatically, and that Egbert stepped
between the cars to loosen a part of the
coupling known as a "knuckle," but that
he did not step aside at the proper time,
for some unknown reason, and that he
was crushed when the two vestibules
crashed together. Egbert had raised his
arms as a signal to the engineer, that the
way was clear. He was known as a care
ful railroad man and experienced switch
man. He left a widow and one son, and
hte body will be taken to his former home,
at Hammond, Vls., for burial.
New Bowlino Records. E. E. Mallory,
secretary of the American Cocked Hat
Association, has received news of two
new records made on association alleys In
Seattle. Dr. F. A. Churchill, of Seattle,
succeeded in bowling a perfect game,
making a score of 90. He made 12 clean
strikes, with no fly-backs from the alley.
The game was also bowled In competition.
Dr. Churchill Is well known In Portland,
having been on many of the visiting
teams, and local bowlers are glad that
the honor of holding the world's record,
made under such square conditions, has
gone to him. The former record of 89 was
made by A. E. Rosslter, on the Oregon
Road Club alleys. The other new record
-was made by Mr. Hugglns, of Seattle for
the score of 233 In a four-game tourna
ment. He made this record whllle bowl
ing against Tacoma. January Z. making
El, 52, 65, 71, as scores for the four games.
The former record of 233 was also held by
Rosslter.
Injected Onion Juice. County Physi
cian McKay, who has his hands full in
looking after patients at the County Hos
pital, was called on Sunday evening to
treat a colored dope-fiend, known as "Pig
Iron Bill." Being deprived of morphine,
this wretched wreck, punctured his arm
with a brass pin and with a "pipette,"
or medicine dropper, injected onion juice
and tobacco juice into his arm. This
brought on blood poisoning, and Dr. Mc
Kay was obliged to chloroform him and
put a discharge tube in his arm.
Funeral op Ralph Jacobs. The fu
neral of Ralph Jacobs was held yesterday
morning at the family residence. West
Park and Montgomery- streets. The serv

READY FOR THE FIGHT.
Tracer nnd Case In Splendid Condi
tion for the Fight Next Krldny
Msirt. As the time approaches for the big box
ing event to take place next Friday even
ing at the Exposition Building, interest
amongst the sporting classes is increasing
to fever heat. Not since the days of the
late Jack Dempsey have two such clever,
hard-hitting men been matched In Port
land. It Is difficult to find any two men
willing to agree as to the probable win
ner In the coming event, and both men
have hosts of friends. Tracey's recent
performances In this city have added to
his hitherto excellent reputation, and he
Is undoubtedly capable of putting up a
winning light with almost any man of his
weight in the United States. He is a
splendid judge of distance, and one of
the best ring generals that "has ever
donned the mitts. He never overlooks an
opening or an opportunity to worry an
opponent.
Case is a natural-born fighter, and never
afraid to mix up, as he is a hard hitter
with lots of vitality. He has been win
ning all of his fights lately, and feels
confident of the result next Friday night.
Both men are hard as nails, and no se
vere training will be Indulged In for the
next few days. Just enough exercise will
be taken to keep within the stipulated
weight, 144 pounds. The public are as
sured that both men will strain every
norve to secure a victory, and nothing
that savors of fake will be tolerated by
the management, which Is In most capa
ble hands. A six-round preliminary be
tween Jost and La" Fontise will whet the
appetite of the spectators for the main
event.
BEST YET PRESENTED.
The attractions at the Fredericksburg
Music Hall are exceptionally strong this
week; in fact, the best yet presented.
Last evening the audiences were more
than pleased, and it is needless to state
many will avail themselves of the oppor
tunity now offered. The 20th-century ac
robats, the marvelous Malvern family,
prove a strong card. For clean-cut, beau
ful, fascinating work, their equal bas
never been seen In the city. De Caprla,
late trombone soloist of the famous Ital
ian Marine Band, was highly appreciated.
He made his first appearance last night,
and was really given an ovation. He was
accompanied by an orchestra that has
no superior In the city. Another new
feature is the laughable pantomime, "The
Trick Cottage," by the Rexglnoes. The
Australian novelty wonder. Professor
Montague's bird circus, will appear for
one wek only. It Is well worth seeing.
Portland people dq not realize that they
have In the Fredericksburg the best free
show In America. It Is superior to Its
only rival, the Los Angeles Orpheum. It
i a difficult matter to get talent Into
this territory, but the management of
the Fredericksburg has made arrange
ments. In connection with the .eading
amusement house of Honolulu and with
rifher's Concert Hall, of San Francisco,
wblrh will result In the booklnjr here of
the cream of the Australian and trai.s
Fadflc attractions. And this circuit, es
tablished with San Francisco and Hono
lulu, will result In giving Portland the
advantage of all Eastern bookings made
for this house.

BY Ar DIRECT VOT
for Ciioosmg a United
States Senator, -
VOTERS TO SHOW PREFERENCE
Senator F. P. Slnya 'Will Introduce
an Act Wlitcb, If 'Passed, Will
Show Legislature the Choice
of Oregon Electors.
State Senator F. P. Mays will intro
duce a bill at the coming session of the
Legislature to provide for the election of
United States Senators by direct vote of
the people, so far as the same may" be
done without conflict with the Consti
tution of the United States. The Consti
tution of the United States, Revised
Statutes, .provides for the election of
United States Senator by the Legisla
tures of the different states of the Union.
Mr. Mays In his bill provides that the
names of candidates for United States
Senator shall be printed on the official
ballot, and voted for at each general elec
tion, and the result Is to be submitted to
the Legislature The presumption Is that
the Legislature will bow to the voice of
the people and elect the candidate who
shall have received the highest number of
votes, but this may not be done, because
the Legislature Is by the law of the
United States vested with full power In
the matter, and the members of that body 1
can elect any one senator wnom tney
please. Irrespective of the wishes of the
voters of the state as- expressed by their
ballot, although it Is not to be supposed
that such a course would be pursued. The
act la drawn to fit the primary law, now
In force, and so as not to conflict with
any primary law which may .hereafter
be passed. The bill is as follows:
A bill for an act to Instruct the Senators and
Representatives of the Legislative Assembly
of the State of Oregon as to the election of
Senators In Congress.
Whereas, It is desirable that the people
should have an opportunity to Instruct their
Senators and Representatives In the Legisla
tive Assembly as to the election of a Senator
In Congress from Oregon: therefore, be It en
acted by the Legislative Assembly of the State
of Oregon:
Section 1. At all general elections next pre
ceding the election of a Senator In Congress by
the Legislature of Oregon, there shall be
placed upon the official ballot by each of the
County Clerks the names of the regularly nom
inated candidates of all political parties repre
sented thereon for the said office of Senator,
the votes for which candidates shall be count
ed and certified to by the respective election
Judges at the same time and In the same
manner as the vote for other candidates, a'hd
duplicate abstracts of the vote for such candi
date shall be made out and sworn to by the
board of canvassers of each county of the
state, one of which shall ba addressed to the
Senate and the other to the House of Repre
sentatives of the State of Oregon, and such
duplicates shall be sent to the Secretary of
State by such board, ons copy of which shall
be delivered by him to the President of the
Senate and the other to the Speaker of the
House of Representatives, immediately after
the next organization of such bodies, which
officers shall open and Jay the same before the
separate houses when first assembled to elect
a Senator In Congress as now required by law
of Congress; and It shall be the duty of each
house to count the votes and announce the
candidate for Senator having the highest num
ber; and thereupon the houses shall proceed 'to 1
the election of a Senator as required by the
act of Congress and the constitution of -this
state.
Senator Mays, In speaking of his bill,
said: "I have covered the subject as far
as possible, and If any one has a better
bill to substitute, I will willingly with
draw mine in Its favor.
"This measure will Inform the Legisla
ture, unequivocally, whom the people of
Oregon prefer for Senator. I would like
to be able to compel the Legislature, by
means of the measure, to vote for the
person the people prefer, but this cannot
be done, as It would conflict with the
Federal law. The nearest approach that
can be made Is to have the Legislature
distinctly understand who the people
want, and If members are earnest In their
declarations of being anxious to follow
the wishes of their constituents there
will be no difficulty In the matter. Of
course, It Is Impossible to say to a Legis
lature: 'You must do this or that, and
the Legislature, even after knowing the
preference of the people, can turn down
the hoped-for aspirant and elect someone
else. But this bill Is as far as you can go,
and conform to the law."
"THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.'
First Production of Phil F. Rogo
May's Drama.
Phil F. Rogaway's romantic drama,
"The Day of Atonement," was played for
the first time last night to an audience
that comfortably filled the Marquam, up
stairs and down. Judging from the ap
plause it received, it made a decided im
pression. The play, founded on Victor Hugo's
"Los Miserables," concerns the fortunes
of a Russian Jew who escapes from Si
beria and is rescued from a mob in Mos
cow by an aged rabbi, whose counsels
lead him to a better life. The hero goes
forth from Moscow determined to become
a man of mark, and, after making a
record on a battle-field, which serves to
give the villain a chance for his machina
tions, he lahds in Montreal, Canada,
where his worth Is recognized, and he Is
elected Mayor by a large majority.
While the hero has been rising from ob
scurity to fame, the daughter of the rabbi
who saved him marries a scamp, who
deserts her, and, after many wanderings,
she turns up In Montreal bereft of her
child, which Is "In hock" with a family
who boarded its mother. The woman
hears that the Mayor is . handing out
charity to all comers, and applies to him
to assist her In rescuing her child. He is
about to comply, when a Russian detec
tive arrives on the scene and develops a
determination to arrest him for the mur
der of the rabbi, who was found dead
under circumstances that were, to say the.
leastl suspicloust but whom It is needless
to announce, the Mayor did not murder.
An Interesting Interview, with a lively
prospector a "gun play," ensues, but the
Mayor finally disposes of his pursuer, and
the arrest of the real murderer In Rus
sia n little later obviates any immediate
necessity of the detective's further pres
ence In Montreal. Thus freed from the
rather galling fear of being thrown into
prison, the Mayor goes forth to rescue
the child, an act which he accomplishes
while the mother is engaged In expiring.
Her death, and the triumph of such of
the actors as are in the right, and the
confusion of those who are in the wrong,
make up a plot that, with a little Im
provement here and there, will make the
groundwork for a verylnteresting play.
Mr. Rogoway himself ap'peared In the
part of Nicholas Karpenoff, ex-convlct,
great General and Philanthropic Mayor,
and his acting was easy and natural be
yond the expectations of his v friends.
There was Just a suspicion of brogue in
the lines of George Mortimer, who ap
peared as Rabbi Eleazer, which was not
altogether In keeping with the character,
but hts make-up was excellent, and he
seemed sufficiently to feel the dignity of
his calling. Morris Ambromevltch. In
trusted to the keeping of Fritz Abendroth,
was sufficiently villainous In appearance
to arouse- the Ire of the gallery, and
Hiram Woods, as the detective, filled tol
erably the chink allotted to Mm. Miss M.
Lena Morrow, as Fanny, the unfortunate
daughter of the rabbi, and Miss Henri
etta vanderhautt, as Mrs. Rachel Ber.
j nard, played the leading women's parts
acceptably. Little Nattl Swett had a
thinking part as Julie, and looked it. For
an amateur production, the play was well
staged and evenly, presented. While crud
ities arising from the fact that many of
the cast spoke for the flr3t time in public
on the stage gave rise to some levity at
times when gravity was due from the
audience, this was not the fault of the
play, and Mr. Rogoway may feel assured
that he has the groundwork of a drama
of considerable merit. It should, however,
be Intrusted to a man familiar with the
stage and with the art of making plays
for the finishing touches that It needs.
HOTELS VERY BUSY.
Midwinter Patronage Much Heavier
Than Usual.
The principal hotels are thronged with
guests these days, although travel Is sup
posed to be lightest at this time bf year.
The approaching session of the Legis
lature has an influence ort the hotel busi
ness, as both members and lobbyists are
beginning to reach Portland from interior
points, the former to confer with each
other in approaching questions, artd the
latter to buttonhole for favors. Squads of
business-looking men are seen conferring
in various Quarters, and the casual ob
server can very quickly see that there is
a "hen on." After next Monday this con
nublatlng will have been transferred to
the dome-crowned halls of Salem.
Timber-land dealers are also much In
evidence, and each day adds to their num
ber, as Oregon nr nas acquireo iamt in
the East, and the cheapness of Oregon
timber land has become noised among
those who were instrumental in denuding
the forests of Minnesota, Michigan and
Wisconsin. The bad weather now prevail
ing in the woods drives both cruisers and
purchasers Into the city, and the hotels
are the most convenient places for them
to meet and compare notes.
The drummer, who was not 'very nu
merous during the holidays, is again on
the road, and his presence adds to the
already lively throng. The homeseeker,
also, who finds this the best time to leave
his snow-covered home In the East, is on
hand In Portland, looking for a favorable
location, and all these, with the regular
line of business travel, go to make up the
hum of voices that greets the visitor on
entering the main office of a Portland
hotel. The crowds are forerunners of a
busy season in the Northwest during 1S0L

MUSICAL TREAT.
Mile. Dolores' Engagement Eagerly
" Awaited.
The Musical Club presents, In the re
cital of Mile. Dolores, at the Marquam
Grand, Friday evening, January 11, an op
portunity, not only for the cultured music-lover
to enjoy pure singing, but for
students to purchase one of the best les
sons ever bought so cheaply. H. M. Bos
worth, of the Examiner, says: "Nothing
seems lacking regarding" her recitals. The
Interpretation is beyond criticism, so in
telligent, sincere and eloquent; the volco
of phenomenal richness and range; tech
nical art reduced to complete subjection
to expression;nothlng but the best mat
ter offered, and Invariably sung In the
most exemplary manner. Who could, or
ever did, give us such rich and varied se
lections, and go through such arduous
programmes with the glorious, healthy
triumph that makes her concerts phenom
enal? . . . No cheaper music lesson
could be purchased."
THE POULTRY SHOW.
Last evening the state poultry show
was formally opened to the public. The
attendance was exceedingly gratifying.
Itt Is by far the finest display of the kind
yet made, as regards quality of the ex
hibits. As one prominent poultry official
expressed It, "There Is not a scrub fowl
to be seen." The management desires to
especially Impress upon parents the ad
vantages of having the children brought
into contact with the many Interesting
features of the exhibition. It will delight
and Instruct them all.
