CITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Annirinpnh TnnlirVit
MABQUAil GRAND "The Christian."
METROPOLITAN-'Tb New TValfs of New
Cembkt Sidewalks. Many -wooden
sidewalks have been torn up In Portland
this Winter, to be replaced by the more
modern and lasting walks of cement, and
iuite a number of others are to be treated
In the same manner In the near future.
The cost of the cement walk, -according to
a contractor engaged In the business. Is
9 cents a square foot for the general sur
face and 30 cents for the curb. 'This
makes the cement sidewalk come about
one-third higher than the wooden one,"
he said, "but the cement will last for
ever, while tho plank sidewalk has to
be renewed every eight years. The ad
vantage of ultimate cheapness Is there
for In favor of the cement walk, while
as to Its santlary qualities It Is also away
ahead of the board and stringer, as the
latter proceed to rot the day they are
laid on the ground. Just look under here,"
and he raised a board on an adjoining
walk to show th foul state of affairs
concealed from the public eye, by the
wooden cover. The sight was certainly
uninviting, as dampness and mold had
long held sway In the dark recesses, and
the smell of decaying rubbish helped him
out In his argument. 'This city will
never have a modern appearance," he
continued, "until all these plank walks
have given way to those of cement, -which
are more In accordance with the progress
of the age, to say nothing of their superior
sanitary conditions."
Remodeling Union Block. Expensive
improvements are being made to the
three-story brick building on the north
side of Stark street, between First and
Second. The threo stories fronting 60 feet
on First and 100 on Stark are being re
modeled for one business concern. Cement
floors -will replace the wooden ones In tho
basement, while all the partitions will be
taken out of each story to turn the space
Into vast rooms. That portion of the
block will be provided with an elevator,
run by water power, for which purpose a
six-Inch main Is being placed on Stark
street to connect with the larger main
on Second. Tho metal roof of the build
ing is being torn off and will be renewed
entirely. Consul Laidlaw, who occupies a
series of offices In the second story, is
moving his headquarters to the second
floor of tho Alnsworth building, -while
the various occupants of the third story
are seeking other quarters as fast as
they can. The renovated building belongs
to the Falling estate, and the estimated
cost of repairs Is ?60,000.'
Smelt Have Advanced. Columbia River
smelt, which have been plentiful at 5
'cents a pound in Portland lately, went up
to 10 cents yesterday, and the cold-
storage article began to make its appear
ance. The cold weather is blamed for
the suspension of the smelt industry, and
there Is no telling whether tho fish -will
make their appearance In any number
hereafter this season. The Cowlitz has
been their favorite visiting place hereto
fore, but none has appeared in that
stream this year to speak of. The smell
varies In price more than any other
article of human food, as it commands
SO to 75 cents a pound when it .first ap
pears, and falls to 2 cents as It becomes
more plentiful. In plenteous periods tuw
flub, axe scooped up In dlpnets In the
shallow places on the Cowlitz, but none
has been captured that way yet this sea
son. Concerning Depth or Snow. A sub
scriber sends the following paragraph
c'lpped from an Elmlra, N. T., paper of
January 13, with a request that The Ore
gonlan "do something to counteract It":
"With seven feet of snow In Oregon and
six foet In California the state where
they have that unrivaled climate there Is
stl.l bare ground in New England around
Boston. And comparatively few people
around here complain." Well, It is true
that last month there was seven feet of
mow on the Siskiyou Mountains In Ore
gon, but that's nothing. There "was and
still Is a groat deal more than seven feet
of snow on Mount Hood; probably 700 feet,
and most of It will be there noxt Au
gust. At this distance It Is hard to teach
Tankees the meteorology and topography
of the Webfoot state, which has the
finest climate In the world.
Scarcity or Game. Wild ducks and
wild geese are the only game In Portland
markets these days, as the laws of Ore
gon protect everything else In the woods,
exenpt jackrabbits, much to the disgust
of dealers, who have been used to plenty
cf deer, elk, pheasant, etc. Most of the
wili ducks brought to Portland are shot
along the Lower Columbia and tributaries,
but the hunters must suspend operations
on these March 1. Mallard ducks sell for
73 cents a pair; widgeon, CO; teal, three for
50 cents, and canvasbacks at $1 25. Wild
gee sc, fat from tho stubble fields of
Eastern Oregon, can be bought for 50 to
73 cents eaeh, but as they are now flying
northward, the season for the wild goose
will be shortly brought to a close by him
self. Railroad Rumors Affect Prices.
William Finley, a resident of Nehalem,
whj Is staying at the St. Charles for a
few das, says the settlers ovor In his
re IKn are pricking up their ears at the
fa'ntest rallread rumor and timber lands
go up or down a notch, as the reports are
verified or denied. Lands are now being
held at $3 t $S an a ere, he says, but as
the screech ef the iron horse approaches
th y will easily go up to $10 or J12. Con
Fllcrablp snow new covers the hillsides,
cftLT one gets beyond 75 feet above sea
lt 1 but in spite of this, cruisers abound
In tve woods In all directions. He is
here to dicker with Eastern buyers for
trc rale of sevoral quarters belonging to
h'msi t and neighbors.
Glt on Agricultural Land. Some
one writes te The Oregonlan to Inquire
:- iher, If x man whe has taken up a
hiincstead and has a "deed" to it from
tv - Government, and has lived on It for
-D jears, finds a gold quartz claim on
It, cm any one besides the owner of
tv.e land take up mining claims on It. If
tho land was taken up in good faith as
agricultural land and there is no reserva
tl n made in the patent in regard to
mineral lands, a gold mine found on tho
lor I Is the sole property of the owner
cf the land. The writer of the letter does
not give his address, as he probably
wlshes to conceal the locality of the real
or 'maginary mine.
Golconda Minb. A change was made
yesterday in the management or the Gol
crda mine. C. A. Smith, a Pittsburg capi
talist having secured an option on SdS&OOO
out of the Sl.000.000 stock of tho company.
At a meeting at the company's office in
th- Tiamber of Commorce building, the
fallowing directors were elected: C. A.
Smith Bela Kadish, J. Frank Watson. J.
T English J G. English. J. A. Flood
and C, A. Johns. Mr. Smith was chosen
rros'dent and general manager, and Mr.
K&dlsh Ice-president. Active operations
en the mine will be resumed at once.
New Corporation. Articles of Incor
poration of the Portland City & Oregon
Railway Company were filed In tho Coun
ty Clerks offioe yesterday. The incorpora
tors are: Fred S. Morris. W. H. Hurlburt
ari J Frank Watson, capital stock, $509,

East Side Railway Company. The objects
announced are to operate a railroad and

Oregon Volunteer Killed. Edwin E.
Hamilton, of the Forty-third Infantry,
who was klHed at the engagement with
the Filipino insurgents at Sabanb, Leyte,
was a son of Mrs. Hamilton, who resides
at Amity, Tamhlll County. The dispatch
in reference te his death was sent from
Manila by General MacArthur, January 29.
For Rent. The dwelling-house (fur
nished) No. 189 Lownsdale street, be
longing to the estate of the late Mr.
Donald Macleay. The house has stabling

tablishment Apply to W. R. Mackenzie,
Worcester block.
Social Night at T. M. C A. Tonight
the "Five o'Clock" gymnasium class will
entertain at the T. M. C A. rooms, re
celvng members and friends. Last Fall,
when the schedule of tha season's social
events was arranged, the two leading
business men's gymnasium classes listed
for a members' evening each. Much
Interest has been manifest as to just what
such organizations could furnish In the
amusement and entertainment line, and,
since the basket-ball rivalry became so
tense between them, the ""Five o'Clock"
class has been determined to outdo the
"Noon" organization when the time came
for the social event. Quite regularly the
latter have been drubbing the afternoon
men In their favorite game basket-ball
but, being much smaller, will find It diffi
cult to out-do the "Fivers," as they are
called, when It comes to playing the host.
Athletic work of a special nature will be
presented, such as tumbling, balancing,
etc The intellectual and musical numbers
will be furnished by J. Adrian Epping,
Waldemar Seton and H. G. Webber. One
number will be furnished by Professor
Rlngler's electric club swinging, and
others by Vlggers, McKenzie and Bailey
in special costume mat work. As this Is
the annual stag social, only members and
gentlemen friends will be admitted to en
Joy the entertainment, which Is without
admission charge.
Room Rent Affected. "Boarding-house
rates In Portland are bound to drop be
fore long on account of gamblers losing
employment," said a real estate man yes
terday. "The gamblers lived In style,
mostly on Sixth, Seventh, Taylor and
Yamhill streets, and paid fancy prices for
room and board. The consequence "was
that certain boarding-house proprietors
got opulent, and asked what they pleased.
Now, the goose which laid the golden eggs
Is dead, and boarding-house proprietors
who are now asking $7 and $8 a week for
room and board that are worth only $5,
will soon have to scale prices. There will
be lots of vacant rooms by and by. and
those of us who have to work hard for
our living will breathe easier. There will
soon be a kick among the boys against
the two meals on Sunday system. If a
man eats and requires three meals dally,
why should he only be allowed two meals
on Sundays?"
Imitated Mrs. Nation. After John
Shea had looked at the bottoms of two
whisky glasses, In the looal Whltechapel,
yesterday morning, he said: "Whoop! I'm
Mrs. Carrie Nation. Whar's my little
hatchet?" The crowd would not oblige
him with the loan of a hatchet, so ho
grasped an empty whisky bottle and mado
a bee line for Harry Kenny's saloon, on
Third street. A curious crowd followed
and a "sure tip" went around that Shea
was a saloon-wrecker. Sure enough, when
Shea was opposite Kenny's place, he
yelled: "Thar's my first window," and tho
whisky bottle, flung with unerring aim,
smashed the plate-glass. Then Kenny
caught him and turned him over to Po
liceman Carpenter. Three hours later.
Shea awoke at the police station and was
told of his misdeeds. He said he guessed
he had been reading too much about the
Kansas saloon-wrecker.
Steady Supplt of Devil Fish. Aboul
half a dozen devil fish per week are
reaching Portland fish markets from the
fishing grounds down the Columbia River.
They are considered a good advertisement
for tha markets, while hanging in front,
aB crowds gather about them all day to
gaze on the uninviting objects. The devil
flsh or octopus belong to a very low
order of creation, and live mostly In shal
low water, where they hang on to every
living thing that strikes their spreading
tentacles. When they catch the fisner
men's hook, however, they suddenly reach
the deck of the boat and are sent to Port
land to be sold to Chinese and Japanese,
who consider them quite a dainty. The
devil flsh has no bones to stick In the
Celestial throat, as they are made up en
tirely of muscle, which hangs limp from
the hook of the flsh stall.
Professor Robertson's Lecture. Fol
lowing Is a synopsis of the theme to be
presented in the social science course this
evening at the Unitarian Chapel: "The
Social Mind: A study of tho mental phe
nomena arising from the contact of in
dividuals in social groups; different phases
growing out of integration by sympathetic
and rational action; practical applications
to modern Hie; public opinion as the
active force of social life and growth."
From the well-known ability and breadth
of tho lecturer, a most thoughtful and
sugcestive discussion may be expected.
Professor Robertson has the chair of his
tory, civics and economics at Pacific
University. Miss Kathleen Lawlor will
sing a solo, just preceding the lecture.
Did Not Choose Pastor. A full con
gregation was present at the Fourth
Presbyterian Church last evening, for the
purpose of engaging a pastor permanent
ly, but the business was not finished. It
is understood, however, that Rev. M. D.
McClelland, the present stated pastor, will
be the unanimous choice. The meeting
decided to adjourn until Thursday even
ing, February 14. and in the meantime a
canvass of the parish will be made, to
determine what amount can be raised for
the pastor's salary. The church has here
tofore paid $1200 to $1500 a year.
Wants It Reviewed. Virgil Conn yes
terday tiled a petition in the State Cir
cuit Court to review the proposed open
ing of Seventh street from Ankeny to
Burnsidc streets, as provided for by an
ordinance passed by the Common Council
January 2, 190L The petitioner does not
specifically set forth his reasons for ob
jecting to the opening of the street, but
only avers that he objects to the report
of the viewers and the assessment
against his property for the proposed im
provement, etc.

An Explanation. In Order.
PORTLAND. Jan. 31. (To the Editor.)
I noticed that the Senate had passed a
bill Introduced by Senator Inman to
amend section SS3 of Hill's code, and said
bill Is about to come In the House for
action. The said section as It now reads
and the bill Introduced by Senator In
man both seem to try to regulate practice
In the courts of this Fourth Judicial Dis
trict under the rule announced by the Su
preme Court of Oregon In the case of
State vs. Frazier, 59 Pac , page 7. Both
the bill and the section upon their face
state that they are only applicable to
the Fourth Judicial District and both
therefore are local laws under the de
cisions of the Supreme Court in Maxwell
vs. Tillamook County, 20 Or. 600, and Ellis
vs. Frazier (the bicycle tax case Just de
cided). Article 4, section 23, of the con
stitution of Oregon, provides that the
Legislature of Oregon shall not pass local'
laws regulating the practice in courts of
justice. Why should not the constitution
be followed?
Have not the Judges now sufficient
power to accomplish everything provided
In this bill? RALPH R. DUNIWAY.

WORKING ON TWO MOVES
LOTTERIES AND SOCIAL EVIL TO
BE ATTACKED.
One Member of the Law Enforcement
Society Discloses Plans for Im
mediate Reform.
The suppression of lotteries and the re
moval of disorderly houses to a section
of the Whltechapel district, about Sec
ond and Everett streets, are the next two
moves of the Law Enforcement Society.
Little or no Information can be ob
tained officially from the committee of
ministers and laymen recently organized
to suppress vice, and a section of their
committee Is busy at present on the com
pilation of a constitution and by-laws,
but their workers are 'also busy on the
outside watching to see whether any
gambling games are run on the qdiet,
and arranging data for future use in the
new crusade against the lottery and dis
orderly house evils.
"The campaign against the lotteries
will likely be taken up first," said a re
form worker to an Oregonlan man yes
terday. "We find it difficult, so far, to
secure evidence as to the existence of
the lotteries in Chinatown, but we know
they are being played In that block on
Second street, between Stark and Oak,
west side. Within the past two days.
Chinese carpenters have made new doors
leading to rooms where lotteries are con
ducted and gambling Is played. When
gambling was open, the Chinese paid
about $330 par month into the city treas
ury, and now they spend the greater part
of that money on lookout men, spotters,
etc., ready to give the alarm when a
raid is threatened. Barricades have been
erected In more than one Chinese house,
and when the lights are extinguished
there, it would be practically Impossible,
after the alarm Is raised, to rush the
room where a lottery or gambling game
Is conducted, and secure the necessary
evidence. The police say that it is -even
a difficult proposition for them, but we
are to co-operate with the police in gath
ering evidence to indict the lottery peo
ple. We are securing evidence now as
to time of the prize-drawing in the Chi
nese lottery. Steps are also being taken
to suppress a white man's lottery, the
tickets for which are sold, or were lately
sold. In a Morrison street store. This
white man's lottery is extensively pat
ronized by boyb and young men, who
buy the tickets at two bits each.
"Now, as to the social evil problem,
that Is a more difficult matter to settle.
Our prayer is that the people who own
the houses ought to refuse to rent them
any more to their present tenants, and
that men would cease to visit these
places. If that were done, there -would,
be no social evil. But we have to con
sider present conditions. Some reform
workers want the Fourth-Street colony
of sin raided, the women sent to jail, and
the place rooted out. Otiier reform
workers think that It is not possible to
tally to suppress the social evil at pres
ent, and this Is my opinion. I, and those
who think with me, favor this proposi
tion: Move the tenants of all disorderly
nouses In the city, to houses "In the
neighborhood of First or Second and Ev
erett streets. If necessary, say further
north. Place this 'leper' colony under
police supervision, with plenty of electric
light around it, at night. Place a large
sisgn at the section where this gehenna
begins, reading, "Danger!" and then al
low men and women to enter the place
at their peril.
"Most of the parasites live in houses
along Fourth street, from Burnslde to
Flanders, and this is a public highway.
It is one of the main thoroughfares to
the depot, and railroad cars are hauled
by a locomotive along the street --every
day. The women of the town1 have their
names painted on their doors, and they
are habitually at their open windows,
behaving insolently toward passers-by.
Too many of these Fourth-street houses
have private entrances to saloons, and
many women are ruined in that way.
Then there are "leper" houses in up-town
streets which foul respectable localities,
and. In the opinion of many, the best
place for the scarlet woman in Port
land Is the locality I have Indicated, un
til society gets pure enough to abolish
her altogether and punish the man who
makes her what she is. If gambling
has slain its hundreds in this city, the
social evil has slain its thousands. Other
workers in the crusade differ from mo
in my ideas concerning the regulation of
this evil, but I have given you my hon
est opinion, and If It brings wrath on
my head, at least I must be given
credit for honefly speaking out."
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Sale of Seats for " '"Way Down East"
OpcnH Today.
One of the most substantial successes
In Now York City last season was the
rustic comedy-drama, " 'Way Down
East." It crowded the Manhattan Thea
ter for seven months, and the Academy
of Music 427 consecutive times. " 'Way
Down East" has duplicated Its New York
success In Boston and Philadelphia, and
its presentation at the Marquam Grand
all next week, with Wednesday and Sat
urday matinees, Is keenly awaited. Man
ager William A. Brady's experience with
this play has been that the public will
patronize an adequate representation of
wholesome life by skillful players. He
has made many elaborate productions In
his time, notably the "Polar Star," but
the staging he has given to " 'Way Down
East" eclipses It. The scenes of this play
are all laid in rural New England. Mr.
Grlsmer's elaboration has been to make
them all natural, and Mr. Brady has
conformed to the same point. This no
doubt Is largely responsible for the great
success the play has made. The theater
going public despise exaggeration, and in
a play of New England type, of the
"Shore Acres" and "The Qld Homestead"
order, this has been cast aside, and the
results have been highly prosperous to
their owners. There is little doubt but
what the capacity of the theater -will be
tested during the engagement.
The sale of boxes and seats for " 'Way
Down East" will begin this morning at
10 o'clock.
"A Star Boarder" at Cordrn's.
Beside being an excellent vehicle for a
number of good specialties, "The Star
Boarder," which comes to Ccrdray's
Theater Sunday and all next week, has an
actual plot, which affords plenty of op
portunity for the strong company of come
dians to provide fun for the audience.
That in fact Is what they are there
for. The play has one object, and that
Is to amuse. While much of the music
Is of a high order, it is all bright and
catchy, and it Is sung by a dozen pretty
girls and clever men, who know how to
make good music popular. Charles Boyle,
In the name part, Is known over the
country as a first-class1 comedian, and
he heads a company which has been se
lected for Its merit. A good week's amuse
ment is promised to the patrons of Cord
ray's during the engagement.
"Kidnaped" Next Sunday.
The concluding arrangements of Man
agers Jones and.Muller have Tesulted in
the appearance at the Metropolitan, for
one week, commencing Sunday next, of
the Muller company In an elaborate pro
duction of the successful melodrama,
"Kidnaped." The realistic scenic effects
of this unequaled play will be a special
feature of the production, prominent
among which te the broad approach to the
suspension bridge, a magnificent view
of the East River by moonlight, with all
its Illuminated boats and docks, and the
great fire scene.
Among the sensational features Is the
use of a coupe drawn by a team of horses,
usee In the kidnaping of Grace Bay
brook, the heroine of the play, the leap
for life from the bridge Into the East
River, and the arrival of the police pa
trol. The success which this popular com
pany has met "With Is attributed to the
painstaking manner of .its members and
the really meritorious interpretations of
characters assumed, among which are
several who introduce bright, clever specialties.
THE PROPOSED DRYD0CK.
Highly Necessary to the Commerce
of the Columbia.
PORTLAND, Jan. 3L (To the Editor.)
I have seen your remarks during the
past week on the drydock proposition
which is now being agitated at Salem,
in connection with an amended bill for
the Port of Portland Commission. As
regards the Port of Portland Commission
I have nothing to say. The public, par
ticularly that portion connected with
navigation (practical), has long since
drawn its conclusion as to its, utility and
merits; but -with reference to that feature
which is sought to be incorporated in
the new bill relating to the drydock, I
would like to eay a few wordSi
I notice that several of our prominent
shippers have raised an objection to hav
ing the general public taxed, or, rather,
the property of the general public of
Portland and Multnomah County, for the
purpose of establishing a drydock at
this port. In all well-regulated com
munities, where business Is dope on fair
and legitimate principles, such a feature
would not, necessarily, be needed In a bill
of this nature: but I th'lnk that everyone
knows that under our existing corporation
laws, and our peculiar position as a
shipping community far Inland, It would
be utterly futile to endeavor to get pri
vate capital to invest money In. an under
taking of this kind. I maintain that
Portland Is dependent for Its prestige,
in a large measure, on Its shipping fa
cilities; and I further contend that,
whereas we now chip more wheat from
the Columbia River than two ports on
Puget Sound, we should have, equal fa
cilities for attending to the necessities
of ships that may come here to carry
away pur commerce. At the present time
there are three drydocks available for
shipping to vessels that enter the waters
of Puget Sound, and a fourth Is now In
the course of construction. What have
we to offer alongside of this? The O. R.
& N. Co. has now truly become an
Oregon company: It has taken over the
direct management of Its ocean-going
steamers. It has established in connec
tion thereto an Oriental line that requires
vessels of heavy tonnage. More than
this, the change from eall to 'steam is so
rapid that probably In 10 years hence
sailing ships will be a curiosity In our
port. And. as accidents to steamships
of the larger type are not only frequent
but often serious, it necessarily follows
that the port to which they are invited
under charter must be provided with
facilities for docking them: otherwise,
what will be the result? Extravagantly
high rates of charter. This is. more than
the rural community ought to stand.
We all know that the farmer is the least
protected of all the citizens of the coun
try, and we also know that without the
farmer and his produce we should have
very little shipping. It therefore fol
lows that the City of Portland must uo
something to maintain its prestige as
a shipping port, and I consider that the
feature relating to a drydock Incorporat
ed In the new Port of Portland bill is the
strongest of all, and that thinking
people should not only endorse It but they,
should make it a point to see that their
friends stand by the bill and support
it. GEO. POPE,
Surveyor to .Lloyd's Register.
IRELAND AND THE QUEEN.
A Correspondent "Who necognlzcM
Reform"! Afrbught.
PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 30. (To the Edi
torsRegarding your editorial In today's
Issue, entitled "Rhetorical Warmth,''
kindly permit one who-Is a product of
the "civilization of the potato" to have
his say.
To begin with, I take exception to your
appellation "Irish implacables." The
Irish agitators at home and abroad are
not Implacables. They are seeking their
rights, and just as soon as they get what
they want, and what they are entitled
to, they will be loyal and contented Just
as much so as any other colony of the
British Empire.
We do not deny that our condition has
been bettered during the reign of Vic
toria. We complain, not of what has been
done, but cf what has been left undone.
We admit we have had reforms, since
the only reforms ever Instituted In Ire
land have been put Into effect during the
last CO or 70 years. But neither you nor
the most ardent admirer of the dead
Queen can claim that in her dealing with
Ireland she took for her motto "Bis dat
qui cito dat." Every reform has been
wrung grudgingly from her hands by the
most persistent agitation, and during the
63 years of her reign she hardly spent
that many days in Ireland. Her policy
was to treat the Irish people as if they
were what her former Prime Minister,
Disraeli, once called them "hereditary
bondsmen" an inferior race, incapable of
governing themselves.
Now, please do not take this as a tirade
against a dead Queen and a good woman.
It Is simply a statement of facts and a de
fense of my countrymen in their present
attitude In refusing to wear the willow.
We mourn for Victoria as we would
mourn the passing of any good woman,
but permit me to say that many women,
just as exemplary In their lives and far
more renowned for their charltv and
philanthropy, have gone out of existence
without the flag of all nations being half
masted In their memory.
Your allusion to potato civilization is
not a happy one. We had in Ireland a
civilization superior to any in Northern
Europe long before the potato was ever
heard of, and the civilization of the po
tato was entirely the result of British
misrule. Even the great American people
of our
new
styles.

no fault to find. Almost all the atrocities
committed in Ireland at various times can
be charged up to foreign mercenaries em
ployed by the foreign rulers of England,
or else by a mongrel breed which could
hardly be called English, Scotch or Irish,

ashamed.
We have. It -Is true, fought against the
British people, but It was in fair and
open fight. We have also fought with
them, and upheld their honor and em

they concede us the honor which Is our
due.
When the British Government does us
an equal justice and gives us the right of
governing ourselves, it will not be possi
ble for you or any one else to call us
