RUSSIAN Laborers RrTORNiNo. About
200 Russian laborers, who have been em
ployed by the Southern Pacific Railroad
at Santa Barbara, Cal., for the past two
years, are now returning in squads of a
dozen or so, to their homes near Hum
boldt Lake, northwest of Winnipeg. Their
appearance at the Grand Central Station
creates quite a sensation, as they seem
to be wearing the same clothes they
had on when they left their homes on
the shores of the Baltic five years ago.
Few of them speak English, and they
evidently have very little use for soap
and water. They had been working on
rock-breaking machinea In Santa Bar
bara County for the purpose of making
ballast for the railroad down there.
Those who speak English explain that
they have a Colony of some 4000 Rus
sians in Asslnlboia, and they are de
lighted to be on the road back there.
They were paid 12 a day In California,
and hae probably saved nearly all their
wages except the $100 it takes to pay
their passage both ways.
Firh in Furniture Store. Unusually
good work was done by the Fire Depart
ment at a blaze yesterday at H. E. Ed
wards' store. 191 First street. The loss
was about $2000, fully covered by Insur
ance. An overheated stove in the third
story work-room started the blaze, which
Epread to the adjoining woodwork, and
the three employes -who were busy in
the room had to flee for their lives, but
they easily got downstairs. To get at
the blaze, the firemen had to Bcale the
building from the rear, and pour a
stream of water through a window near
the roof. Furniture, bedding and mat
tresses were burning, and the firemen
promptly throw most of the burning
material through the windows Into the
street Mr. Edwards personally thanked
Chief Campbell, or the Fire Department,
and his men for the good work they did.
Two Churches Robbed. The congre
gation of the Fourth Presbyterian Church,
In South Portland, mourn the disap
pearance of some electric light globes,
which were stolen from the interior of
the church a few nights ago. The thief
obtained entrance by way of a side win
dow and helped himself to all the
globes he -could reach, leaving- those on
the higher chandeliers untouched. The
Westminster Presbyterian Church, on
the East Side, was served the same way
a fow nights previously. The value of
the glomes Is about 25 cents each, and
It Is thought some petty larceny thieves
or opium fiends purloined them for the
purpose of ob aining drink or "dope."
To Choose a Pastor. A meeting of the
congregation of the Fourth Presbyterian
Church will be held on Thursday even
ing of this week; for the purpose of en
gaging a pastor permanently. Rev. M. D.
McClelland has acted as "stated supply"
for the past three months, and has filled
the pulpit to the satisfaction of the con
gregation, so it Is probable he will be
the pastor selected. Delegates will be
sent to the Portland Presbytery after the
meeting and then a delegation of min
isters will call on the chosen pastor,
formally to acquaint him with the choice
of the congregation.
Because She Kept No Books. airs.
Marks, First street near Jefferson, was
In the Municipal Court yesterday, charged
with a violation of the city ordinance
which directs that all second-hand deal
ers shall keep a record of articles they
buy. Detective Cordano stated that sev
eral articles of clothing stolen from the
Gllman House by a sick boy who has not
yet been arrested had been sold to
Mrs. Marks, and that there are no rec
ords of purchases In Mrs. Marks' books
since lafet July. The case was continued
for further evidence.
Stole Umbrbclas. Jaraes Jackson was
arrested estcrday by Policeman Cowles.
as he walked along Fourth street, carry
ing five umbrellas. Jackson said he got
the umbrellas 'from a man.' Miss Bain,
241 Sixth street, afterward Identified sev
eral of the umbrellas the prisoner had,
as having been stolen from her.

made that In the Senatorial contest of
1S99, Hob. H. W Corbett withdrew In
faor of another candidate. The fact Is.
Mr, Corbett simply withdrew and allowed

Grand Concert. Taylor-Street M. E
Church, "V edhesday, January 30, S.30 J, M,
Found a Good Clihate Right Here.
Judge George, while waiting in his office
last night for the Jury to agree In the
Spicer case, entertained a, number of
friends by telling stories, and among
other things related how he spent an
enjoyable few hours on Sunday and got
out of the range of the fog. His. Honor
has been quite a mountain climber, and
has frequently gone beyond the clouds,
fogs, and overhanging mists. So it oc
curred to him that balmy sunshine
might be found on Portland Heights. He
put the thought Into execution, and on
reaching the vicinity of the old Markle
residence, discovered the atmosphere
bright and clear, saw all the beautiful
snow-clad mountains In the distance tow
ering above the fog, and after enjoying
himself to his heart's content, returned
home well satisfied with his trip, and
with the conviction that Sunday was a
nice enough day if one knew where to go
and look for it.
Stranger Taken Ilu When Rasmus
Rasmoren, a middle-aged man, arrived In
the city Xrom The Dalles yesterday, he
was suddenly taken ill at Pine street
wharf, and he hired a hackman to take
him to a hotel, but the hotel officials re
fused to receive him. In despair, the
hackman drove Rasmoren to the police
station, where it was found he was suf
fering from a species of mania and ague.
Dr. McKay, of the County Hospital, ex
amined Rasmoren and found that his
temperature was 104. Rasmoren was un
able to make a coherent statement, and
insisted that "he would not come out of
the hospital, alive." He had In his pos
session a check for $235, and 53 05 in
money, and he was ultimately conveyed
to the County Hospital.
Mat Deal Crooked. From 50 to 75 pro
fessional gamblers left the city yesterday
to engage In "play" at San Francisco,
Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Pendleton,
Baker City, and other points. One dealer
said: "I'm going to play in a certain
city on the Sound, and the agreement is
that if I lose in a game, I get no pay.
If I win, I will get paid for it. Rather
different from the 'square' games put up
in Portland, where I was paid my $6 per
day, whether I lost or won."
To Be Made Permanent. At a meet
ing of the Law Enforcement Society yes
terday it was decided to enlarge the
committee and to make It a permanent
body. A committee of three laymen and
two ministers was appointed to prepare
a constitution and by-laws.
Collision in Terminal Yards. Martin
C. Nlelson, 17 years old, 729 Wilson
street, while riding his bicycle yesterday
in the Northern Terminal yards, ran
against a locomotive, and his head was
severely cut. City Physician Zan dressed
the boy's wounds.
Box Missing. The police have been
asked to locate Fred Musson, 14 years
old, of Wlonona, Minn., who is sup
posed by his parents to be working on a
Columbia River boat. He has not writ
ten home lately.

OYSTER FAMINE.
The Consumption Greater Than Sup
ply. The oyster supply for the city and coun
try has been very short of late, many
dealers having their supply shut off and
dependent upon the whim of some other
dealer whether they get any. In the
meantime, the price wholesale has been
gradually coming up, many beds have
been stripped and are closed down, that
other seasons kept open two months later.
Portland Oyster Company reports the
heavy demand will compel them to open
their beds of deep-water oysters intended
for the months of May and June in a few
weeks hence, and warn those who wish
to benefit by their enterprise and fore
sight to enroll themselves as customers
at once. It will shortly dawn upon the
public's ilsion that the upland oysters
and water-soaked oysters that have been
rung in in competition, are no more, as
they can't Impose on even the blind when
the season advances. Honest goods, hon
est prices, close attention to business and
the public wants is what wins.
A CONTINUED SUCCESS.
The bill at the Fredericksburg this week
meets all expectations. The inimitable
Huber, the armless wonder, has been re
tained for the week's programme. With
his feet he writes, feeds himself, plays
musical Instruments, uses joiners' tools of
all kinds, lathers and shaves himself,
combs his hair, takes a cigarette, shuffles
cards, plays cards and opens a bottle of
wine. He is a wonder, and he performs
his feats with ease. But It is in the new
features of this week's bill that the Fred
ericksburg has made a strike. In Richard
and Maggie Leoni. in their Spanish ring
acts, appearing now for the first tlme'on
the Coast, the house has veritable artists.
They introduce features which for grace,
beauty and perfection have never been
seen here before. It is a commonly ex
pressed opinion of traveling men and
showmen that no city west of New York
has offered a free entertainment equal to
that furnished by the Fredericksburg.
STOCK DAMAGED BY FIRE.
A portion of the stock carried by H. E.
Edwards, the furniture man, was dam
aged yesterday by fire and water. The
store has been cleaned up and customers
will find no inconvenience while making
purchases. It Is understood that Mr. Ed
wards Intends to dispose of all damaged
stock at a sacrifice, notice of which will
be given later in The Oregonlan.

A WIXTER ROUTE TO THE EAST.
The climate of Utah and Colorado Is
temperate the year round, and clear skies
and sunlit da j s are as proverbial In Win
tor as in Summer. Tne mean annual tem
perature in Salt Lake City or Denver is
about 55 degrees, and the average annual
precipitation 14.li inches. With such in
consequential prec-lpitatlon there can b?
little or no trouble from snow in the dis
tricts traversed by the Rio Grande West
ern Railway, and its immediate conned
tions the Colorado Midland or Denver
Rio Grande Railroads. r
In fact Winter adds but new grandeur
and charm to the travel scenes, and in
fuses an ftlKmcnt of variety and beauty

WILL RUN AUTOMOBILES
LINE FROM PORTLAND TO SAXDY TO
BE STARTED.
Machine Will Make the Round Trip
Every Da More Men Seeking
Oil Lands.
GRESHAM, Or., Jan. 2S. An automobile
line is one of the new enterprises to be
inaugurated through this section with the
coming of good weather. One Is now
being built for the Portlind-Sandy route,
the intention being to operate it daily,
carrying passengers and freight. Its ca
pacity will be 20 passengers, with a
limited freight space and room for bag
gage. Electricity, with storage batteries,
will be the motive powers. The intention
is to start from Sandy in the morning
and arrive back there in the evening,
making a round trip to Portland, taking
in Rockwood, Terry. Gresham,
Powell's Valley and Pleasant Home,
and if necessary make stops at
other points on the Section Line road.
In the absence of a railway through this
section the scheme will undoubtedly bo
a paying one, as it will give the people
here a chance to visit the city, do neces
sary business and get back again the
same day. All the roads arc in such ex
cellent condition that trips can be made
at all seasons. The promoters are men
of capital, who expect to make their
enterprise a success.
More Oil Seekers.
Another oil company has agents in the
field now bonding property for the oil
they expect to find. The two rival parties
are visiting every owner of a piece of
land in the supposed oil district, the
number of pieces now being bonded
amounting to about 30. A great many
refuse to bond their property, arguing
that if oil is found, that they will be in
a better position to dictate terms for their
property. Several owners are willing to
give the companies permission to bond
and if oil is struck they expect to realize
handsome profits. It is doubtful if the
companies will accept any such offers,
as they will prefer to operate on land
already secured by themselves.
Another Telephone Line.
The Columbia Telephone Company Is
making an effort to compete for the
business of this section. Two miles of
poles are up along the Base Line, from
Monta-vllla to the Mount Hood poultry
farm, the intention of the company be
ing to continue the line until it reaches
Rockwood, Gresham and Troutdale. Tele
phones can be placed anywhere along
the line, the poultry farm being the
first subscriber. With two companies in
tho field, there promises to be active com
petition, with low rates. The Pacific
States Telephone Company has about
finished wiring Gresham and the sub
scribers will be in communication with
each othe before tbe end of this week,
the switenboard having been put in po
sition In Shattuck Bros.' store.
A No-vel Strike.
Fifty tie teams passed through Gresham
this morning with full loads of ties for
thev yards at FairvleW. The teamsters
met together last week and decided to
boycott the road to Troutdale until it It
put in proper shape for travel. The
worst piece is for about one mile in
length, from near Sweetbrier to the
Douglass place, and is in a horrible
shape. The teamsters have tried to get
It planked, but failed, and the boycott
of Troutdale is the result. The teams
all passed through here in procession,
with flags fljing, attracting much atten-
tion. The distance to Fairview is about
four talles further than to Troutdal
and the teams can make only one trip a
day. Six sawmills were represented in
the parade. Their use of the road through
Gresham will soon put it in equally bad
shsaps as the other road, and the team
sters figure on the required work bolng
done as soon as possible, in order lo
save the thoroughfare through here.
Brief voteH.
A 2-year-old Jersey heifer, belonging to
Mrs. Herron, a widow living near Rock
wood, was stolen from the barn on Sun
day night last.
The rural delivery mall carriers started
out this, morning making a canvass of
their districts and locating mail boxes
They will have everything in readiness
for delivery on February 15.
Quite an epidemic of pneumonia and
bronchitis is prevalent about Pleasant
Home. 12 cases being reported at pres
ent. Some of the cases are very near
the danger line, but none has been fatal
so far.
The religious revival at the Rockwood
Methodist Church continues nightly with
good results. The money necessary for
the new parsonage has all been pledged
and work on the structure will begin in
a few days.
Professor H. R. Winchell has announced
his intention of giving up teaching after
this season, after being principal of the
Gresham School for six years. He will
devote himself to his poultry farm and
the apiary business.
Four building lots were sold in Gresham
last week by N. L. Smith to parties who
will erect residences thereon to be oc
cupied by themselves. Gresham will have
a building boom this summer, as nearly
a dozen residences are in contemplation.
Conference Over a Hall.
A conference was held jesterday by a
committee from Multnomah jCamp, No. 77,
Woodmen of the World, with A. W. Oco
bock concerning his proposition to add a
second story to his building on Grand
avenue and East Alder street, and pro
vide a large hall for the use of the camp.
Mr. Ocobock made a general statement of
what he is willing to do, and outlined the
plan of the second story. It will cover the
present building from East Alder 100 feet
north and back to the alley. The hall
will be 60xS0 feet, and will be over the
Renfer Jewelry store, while the south half

will be taken up with offices. Entrance
to the second floor will be from Grand
avenue In front of the hall. The cost of
the addition will be between $3009 and
$6000. Nothing definite was settled at the
conference, but the committee wilj again
meet Mr. Ocobock some time thi3 week,
whn he will show them the plans of the
second story in detail, when an agree
ment may be reached. At the last meet
ing of Multnomah Camp a vote was taken
on the movement to secure a new hall,
and it received unanimous Indorsement.
'WAY DOWN EAST."
Dramas Next "Week.
Newest and Best of New England
A rather lengthy engagement of that
great drama, " 'Way Down East," is an
nounced for the Marquam Grand all next
week, commencing Monday night, Febru
ary 4. It Is too brief, because if one is
to believe what Is said of the success of
this famous play elsewhere, it is sure to
create a sensation. It Is a story of New
England life, told by Lottie Blair Parker,
Intelligently elaborated by Joseph R.
Grismer, and presented In this city under
the direction of William A. Brady, who is
responsible for the metropolitan produc
tion of the same play. For nearly two
years it delighted New Yorkers, and soon
returns to the metropolis to take up its
abode for an entire year.
Mr. Brady is responsible for having af
forded an avenue to the stage of a play
wholesome, pure and Instructive In its
character and exquisitely delightful in
the lesson that it inculcates. It Is to be
given here with a superb cast, an essen
tial novelty in the way of a snow storm
not the ordinary stage-paper snow, but
a storm, a genuine, furiously driven
storm, such as may be seen anywhere in
midwinter in New England. The inventor
that produced this mechanism has cer
tainly studied nature; but the play does
not need to depend on any of Its effects
for a claim as to merit.
It has a special appeal to any one mor
ally inclined who can grasp an excellent
lesson exquisitely and refreshingly told.
A person who has gone to see " 'Way
Down East" will want to see it again,
and will want to see another play of the
same tone. While it may be new here,
the notable success that it has won else
where foretells the hearty welcome it is
sure to receive. The motive and the at
mosphere of the play evidence a master
mind in construction. It, is. wholesome,
elevating In Its tone, and the authors
seem always in good taste and at all
times unobjectionable. The rural atmos
phere is said to be cleverly! maintained,
and the characters convincing and inter
esting. Another charm of the play Is said to bo
the excellence of the dialogue and lt3 ex
treme simplicity, the pathos effective as
well as the humor. There are a dozen or
more characters, all of sharply contrasted
tjpes. There Is an old New England
farmer, naturally generous but quite narrow-minded,
and there is a manly, vigor
ous hero, an eccentric Constable, a ridic
ulous physician, an absurd professor of
botany, a delightfully sweet heroine, a
gossipy, mischief-making old maid, a
dainty, ingenuous little miss, and other
very quaint and yet lifelike characters.
There is the village church choir, and a
score of other features that seem slight
in themselves, but all servin'g to make up
a most Inviting and pleasurable whole.

MUSIC IN PORTLAND
Over $4000 Worth of Pianos Used at
Last Nlgrht's Musical Ecntertaln
menta In This CityA List of Yes
terday's Sales.
There are very few If any music bouses
in the United States that carry more than
one full-size concert grand piano In stocks
fc.ilers' Piano House never has less than
three of these most costly instruments on
hand, and sometimes four or live, and
whenever fine pianos are demanded for
nigh-class concert tyork, Eilers Piano
house is always in position to meet every
demand. This was forcibly illustrated in
yesterday's work.
The two magnificent concert grand
Chickering pianos used last night at the
Marquam by the wonderful Paloma. and
her talented sister, Karla, were furnished
by Eilers Piano House, and these two
truly grand pianos came In for a full
share of the enthusiastic praise bestowed
upon these children of genius.
For Mr. Stebinger's pupils' recital at
Alisky Hall, an elegant Kimball cabinet
grand piano was sent up. ah elegant new
Kimball, full-size concert grand has just
been sold to "Willamette University, at
Salem.
TaylorStreet Church required an ex.
ceptlonally fine piano ror last night's
Chautauqua, and Eilers Piano House sup
plied it yesterday. This beautiful Chick
ering uright will also be used Wednesday
evening there at the concert gien by Mr.
Boyer and the choir.
A very fine Kimball cabinet grand was
yesterday selected by the musicians and
sent to the hall corner of Sixteenth and
Everett for the rehearsal yesterday, and
the concert this evening, given by the
Sisters of Mercy.
A beautiful baby grand, and a fine up
right piano, together with a large cabinet
organ, were selected by the management
of "The Christian" tor use during the
play, and were put in tune ready for de
livery at the theater this morning.
Nor did this extraordinary demand seem
to make any .perceptible difference in the
stock of pianos carried In the salesrooms
and retail business continued unabated.
People realize that this will be the last
week of the great sale, and instruments
are being sold almost at every hour of the
day.
Early jesterday morning Mr. Piper, of
Mount Tabor, secured a very costly Kim
ball in fancy rosewood case. Miss Sax
secured a fancy new Kimball in French
walnut finished case; Mrs. W. P. Phillips
got a new cabinet grand Singer piano in
oak; Mr. D. Parrish boug'ht a new Kim
ball organ, and Mr. Hubbard, one of the
foremen at Doernbecher's new furniture
factory, purchased a fine new HInze, in
fancy figured oak case. Another Kimball.
In rosewood, was secured by Mrs. Van
Houten, and last came Mr. C. T. Miller,
of Richmond, and secured a very hand
some Kimball upright in fancy mottled
walnut case.
Where Is the music store In this coun
try that can equal this record? It would
be hard to find one. and this showing is
but another uncontrovertible proof of
Eilers Piano House ability to furnish pat
rons the very most in piano value and
quality for the very least money.
