THE MOUSING OREGONIAN, MONDAY. FEBRUARY 18, 1901. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Atmxiiements Tonight. MARQUAM GRAND "The Prisoner of Zenda.' CORDRATS THEATER-'The Country Girl." Melon-Growing in Yakima Country. A farmer in the Yakima country who went into the business of raking water melons and cantaloupes on a small scale last ypar and who shipped some of his melons to this city. is so well satisfied with the experiment tha.t he nan decided to go into the melon business on a larger scale. He has written to Portland commission-men. vrlth whom he dealt last year that he Is preparing to plant 200 acres to watermelons and cantaloupes, and win be prepared to ship a carload per day to this city as socn as the fruit begins to ripen. The climate in parts of -the Yakima country Is very favorable for Browing melons and they begin to ripen early there, which is a great advantage. Outside of the early supply, which comes Xrom California and is seldom good, the Portland market has for some years been supplied with melons by the growers of the Rogue River Valley, and for the tast few years large quantities of little xnuskmelons have been shipped by grow ers at Payette, Idaho. The Rogue River watermelons are very fine when condi tions are favorable, but they do not ripen so early as Is desirable and some times are hardly In the market before the cool Fall rains come on and spoil the sale of them. TVith Rogue River, Pay ette and Yakima to depend upon for melons, the Portland market should be well supplied and at reasonable prices. '" Oil, xt Gray's Harbor. A Portland commercial traveler who has returned Tom the Gray's Harbor country reports that while going along the coast a short distance north of the entrance to the harbor, he came across a gang of men Betting ready to bore for oil. They were supplied with a steam engine, augers and all the necessary plant for boring, and Harry D. Chapman, of this city, was In charge of the work. The beach at this point, for about a mile north and south, Ss Impregnated with a brownish oily sub stance, in some places to below the tid' llne. This oil deposit has been known to exist there for many years. Springs In vhe vicinity taste so much of coal oil that their waters are unfit to drink, and standing pools of water become covered with a scum of oil. The excitement pre vailing all over the Coast has led to the formation of a company to determine whether oil exists at this place in pay ing quantities. A well will be bored to a depth of 3500 feet or more If necessary or until oil Is struck, and Mr. Chapman Is confident that it will not be necessary to sink that deep. Jokino Youngsters. Two boys of about 4 or 5 Summers sat on the curb on Fourth street a day or two since for over an hour and hailed every person whose attention they could attract wlfti: "Say, mister, there was a hold-up here this morning." Those addressed usually smiled and walked on without giving a second thought to the youngsters. The boys evidently were getting tired, when at last a young man came along on a bicycle. One of the boys Informed him that there had been a hold-up and he jumped from his wheel and asked who had been hld up. The other little boy yelled, "The track held up a train," and then the pair started off down the street whooping, and shouting. "We caught a sucker." The victim, who had not sus pected such small boys of such guile, did not know whether to feel amused or an sry, "but seeing people grinning at him he got on his wheel and rode off. The fondness of these youngsters for joking will be sure to lead them Into trouble before they are much older. Nickels More Plentiful. Nickels are more plentiful for change since the sup pression of the slot machines. Street-car conductors say that when the machines" were running men passengers seldom offered a nickel for fare, but now they 6ee plenty of small money. When the machines were the rage men played their "chicken feed" for cigars and drinks and .handed quarters and halves to the conductors for fares. The regular players miss the machines, but since they must try to get something for nothing, the cigar stores are accommodating them with dice. In some stores the game is played with boxes, but in others the dice are thrown from the hand as In craps. In slot-machine playing the percentage Is In favor of the house, but in a fair dice game the chance is even-up between the house and the player. In dice, as In the machine, the great North American priv ilege remains to the player, If luck Is against him, of paying 50 cents for a smoke. International Pool Game. Some buildings, like some men In their time, play many parts. Down on North Third street is a large room which is occupied by a Japanese as a poolhall. Little Japan ese and American boys "of the same size" congregate In droves and get along swim mingly. The pool tables are furnished with about a bushel of balls, and pockets to hold them. The players recline at length while they make difficult shots, and it Is very amusing to see a lively game in progress. The walls of the room are decorated with inscriptions painted In colors, such as: "The wages of sin is death '; "How long since you have writ ten to your mother?" The room was formerly occupied as a Sailor's Home, or something of the sort, and the wise saws painted up for the edification of the roving sailor are now getting In their good work on the native-born hood lums and the wandering refugees of Asia. REnriLDiNo the Gatzert. The steamer Bailey Gatzert, from which the machinery was removed a short time ago, has been on the ways at the O. R. & N. Co.'s yard for a week or so, and 25 men are giving her hull a thorough overhauling. Every plank or timber that showed sicti of decay has been removed and replaced by new ones. New cylinder timbers have been put in and the frame ha6 been strengthened. The Gatzert will "be launched In a day or two, and the powerful machinery of the Telephone placed in her, and she will be a stauncher and 'aster boat than ever before. She will probably be ready to go on her route about the middle of March. The question of building a new hull under the topworks of the Telephone and placing new machin ery In her is being considered, but no de cision has been reached. South Carolina Exposition. J. F. Knapp, special commissioner of the South Carolina Inter-State and West In dlanpxposition, to be held In Charles tonecember 1, 1901, to June 1, 1902, left tor Salem yesterday to Interest the Leg Irlature In the project of an Oregon ex hibit. Mr. Knapp says that the railroads have offered free transportation for ex hibits from Buffalo to Charleston, so that the state could exhibit at Charleston with little additional expense. The ob ject of the Charleston exposition is to illustrate the Industrial development of the South and the possibilities of the West Indian Islands. Ed BitaiiAM Seeks Recreation. Among the sportsmen who left Saturday afternoon for the happy hunting-grounds on Columbia Slough, was E. W. Bingham, who went out in search of more con genial sport than trying to get a pri mary election bill through the Legisla ture. He was armed with a shotgun and a -ifie and said that the latter was for shooting hawks and geese, which were out of range of his shotgun, and wounded ducks, which fell tout of reach. If the fowls of the air ever notice how well he is heeled for them, they will give his blind a wide berth. Decisions bt Judge. Judge Sears will announce decisions In Department No. 2, State Circuit Court, this morning In the following cases: Stoermer vs. Weistsr Company, motion for a new trial; Corn ish vs. the Portland Club, to make an swer more certain. Dental work free, at college, corner Fifteenth and Couch streets, except a small fee to cover cost of material .for those in moderate circumstances. Poor Duck-Shooting. A large number of sportsmen went duck-hunting yester day, notwithstanding they have had no luck for the past month or more. Some attribute the poor shooting to the clear, frosty weather and the moonllcht nluhts. while others say that the ducks have gone to the coast. Some who shoot on tli Columbia bottom say there are plenty of ducks on the river, but they are "onto" every blind and n soon as a few shots are tired in the morning, they go away to some lOaflng lake to spend the day. It IS net strange that the ducks, efter having been shot at every Sunday sines, they arrived from the North last Fall, should have found out where the bllndS" are located, and the hunters are learning to think the birds know when Sunday comes around. A man was sent to the preserves in the middle of the week after the rains began again, to try his luck. The ducks began coming In for their feed early in the morning, but as soon as a few shot had been fired, they quit com ing, and no more were seen during the day. Frank Thorn, who has been the champion duck-shooter of this section for years, announces that he has had enough, and that hereafter he will devote Svjt ,- , n -"-. or-'" sr "- , w ; tr ', , r J-,'' ".?.'&' QCir watM'-'"'?

The Oregon Ofid Fellows' grand lodge will get possession next month of the Riley property, comprising a two-story dwelling and reven acres of land, located about three btocks eoutb of KenHworth. on the O&tntan road. This property was purchased by six trus tees appointed by the grand lodge to secure a location for an orphan' home. Portland lodges subscribed $5000, and secured the institution. Three of the trustees are from the Odd Follows' lodgos and three from the Hebekah lodges. The purchase price wa-i $0500. The building Is a 10-reom dwelling, and the grounds are convenient to the Woodstock Railway. With a building on thn grounds, and with ample room, the next grand lodge will be able to establish the home. While It will be a home for the orphans of Odd Fellows, It will al.'o be a home for homcteps Odd Fellows, and the plan contemplates the building of a hospital. The Itcbckah lodges have greatly aided in the purchase of the property, and will help to furnish the rooms. his attention to trout-flshlng. Drs. Stolte and Moody will have to look out' for their laurels, for If Thorn fishes as well as he shoots, he will be a candidate for the position of champion fisherman. Postoffice Business C. O. D. Post office business on the C. O. D. plan has been tried with success at Quincy, 111. T. F. Wilcox, Postmaster at that place, read an able paper on the subject at a convention of the Postmasters of Illinois. The system Is a handy one for people who want small articles, but are not familiar with the price of them. For ex ample, a man at Athena orders a piece of machinery weighing four pounds from a merchant ot Portland. The Postmaster at Athena collects the price and remits to the merchant at Portland. Payment may be made by money order or regis tered letter. Postmaster Croasman con siders the system practicable and says that if it were generally adopted It would be beneficial to postoffice business and commercial interests. Merchandise sent through the malls Is limited to four pound packages, but there Is no limit to the number of packages, while the adop tion of the plan in Portland would call for little extra help. Postmaster Croasman will not apply for It until he has more room for the transaction of business. Present quarters are greatly cramped and application has been made to the de partment for enlargement of the post office. Looking for Timber Land. A num ber of Michigan men who desire to buy timber claims In Oregon forests have arrived in Portland within the past few days and are leaving for various jor tlons of the state west of the Cascades. They had long heard of the extent of the dense forests of fir, sugar pine, cedar, spruce, etc, where claims could be had at any time, simply for the asking, and they have taken advantage of the reduced rates Westward to satisfy themselves. Persons informed in regard to standing timber say that Government lands open to entry have become very scarce of late years, owing to the Eastern demand. The few remote qunrters still open for entry are known only to professional cruisers, who charge the settler $30 for pointing them out Strangers who expect to locate good claims the moment they arrive are likely to be disappointed. Immigration Headed Westward. W. L. Agnew, of St. Paul, general advertis ing agent for the Great Northern Rail way, Is making his first visit to Portland. He expressed himself as surprised to find Portland so large a city and Is great ly Impressed with its handsome homes and substantial public and business build ings. He says the tide of immigration from the East has already turned West ward, that men of every line of enter prise are looking to the Northwost for future fields, and that Oregon will re ceive a good share of the Investors. "You have but to present consistent and prac tical Inducements," said, he, "and Eastern capital will grasp them. Your mining enterprises are In their Infancy, and the next year or two will bring out won derful develppments. We have many calls for booklets relating to the mineral resources of the West." Zionist Meeting Tonight. Final ar rangements have been made for the Zion ist meeting, which will be held at S o'clock this evening In the vestry-rooms of Temple Beth Israel. The meeting has been called In response to about 100 let ters received by Dr. Wise, expressing the desire pt the- writers to join a Zionist organization. Brief addresses will be de livered by D. Soils 'Cohen and Dr. Wise. The constitution and by-laws will be discussed and officers elected. In ad dition, full dlscuBsion is expectod of the plans of work for the society. An in teresting musical programme will be ren dered, among those taking part being Miss Rcse Loewenberg, soprano, and Miss Edna Wasserman, violinist. Sharp Hail Storm. A brisk hail storm yesterday afternoon reminded Portlanders that the first of March was not so very far off, when its "coming in like a lamb and going out like a lion" will be dis cussed by the oldest inhabitant. Weather conditions continue to be favorable to the fruitgrowers, if not to Sunday prome naders, and so those engaged in the pro duction of apples, peaches and prunes consider it a perfect season. The con tinued cool weather keeps the sap from starting in the trees, and retards the period of blooming until all danger from late frosts is past. Stlvia de Grasse Reef. The work of removing the Sylvia de Grasse Reef for the improvement of the channel in front of Astoria has been delayed by the bad weather, accidents to the plant, and other causes, but is now making fair progress. The work of drilling holes in that portion of the reef which Is to be blasted out Is being carried on from a platform sup ported by spuds. When one hole is com pleted, the platform is lowered to the water and floated to the point where the i.ext hole is to be drilled. The platform Is then raised upon the spuds to a suitable height above the water and the drilling proceeds. A dredge Is at work excavating the chan nel outside the reef. The work Is being poshed as rapidly as possible under the circumstances. For Chinese New Year. There was a great rush of business at the Customs Appraiser's office and Jn Chinatown Sat urday. A large quantity of Chinese mer chandise, provisions and delicacies for their New Year celebration arrived In the mprnlng, and there was a great desire tq get them through the Appraiser's ofllce and delivered during the day, so that they could be sold yesterday. The Npw ODD FELLOWS' ORPHANS' HOME. Year celebration begins this morning and no business will be done while It lasts. Every effort Vas made to accommodate the Chinese and a lot, but not nearly ail of the stuff, was examined and delivered by teamsters to the consignees. If any one runs short of any of the delicacies so largely used at New Year, he can prob ably borrow some to last till business is resumed. The Chinese Imported a lot of goods some time ago for the New Year festival, but owing to some Imaginary scare about Asiatic cholera, they were all sent back and the second lot ordered came near arriving too late. Fifth-Street Electric Cars. Resi dents of the southern part of Fifth street, who have been waiting anxiously for some time to have the railway extension on that street put In operation, will be pleased to learn that the cars may soon be running. The work of putting in the connection with the main line at Fifth and Jefferson streets was commenced Saturday and will be completed in a short time. Delay in receiving this "connec tion," which Is a complication of crossing frogs, switches, etc.. is the reason why the extension ha.- not been put in opera tion. The double track extends from Fifth and Jefferson streets, down Sher man, for two or three blocks, and then changes to a single track. It will be nec essary to complete laying the tracks to this point before the road can be operated, and this will probably necessitate putting In the crossing In the Southern Pacific track on Fourth street, which" Is ready for laying. As the road Is wired, and the cars are ready for" service. It will not be long before the extension Js In opera tion. Commander Goodbrod in Town. A. J. Goodbrod. Commander-in-Chief of the Oregon G. A. R., Is at the Imperial. He has recently visited pests In the Willam ette Valley and the Soldiers' Home, at Roseburg, which he pronounces a well kept Institution, though too crowded for the good of the old boys. In reference to the G. A. R. of Oregon he said the posts number &S and the membership 1EO0 He thinks an addition should be made to the Soldiers' Home, as it Is now a refuge for the veterans of other wars, Including those of the Indian troubles. The commander will visit Astoria today. Tomorrow he will address the Portland posts. On Thursday he hopes to be at Hood River, Friday at The Dalles. Sat urday at Pendleton and Sunday at Athe na, after which he will return to his home at Union. Dr. McClelland Called. The congre gation of the Fourth Presbyterian Church has issued a unanimous call to Dr. McClelland, who has been acting as temporary or stated pastor for the past three months. The committee in charge of the pastorate, which has been can vassing South Portland for two weeks, re ports the financial outlook for the church as excellent. The pulpit of the Fourth Presbyterian Church was filled by Dr. Boyd for nine years, until he was called last year to the First Presbyterian Church of Fresno, Cal. The Portland Presbytery will act this week on Dr. 31c Clelland's permanent appointment, when, it is thought, the new pastor will form ally accept. Dr. McClelland was formerly stationed at Sitka, Alaska. Reception at St. Helen's Hall. An enjoyable reception was given last Fri day night at St Helen's Hall, by Miss Tebbetts and the faculty, to friends of the s-chool. About 200 guests were present Those who received were: Mrs. Burns, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Wilcox and Mrs. Wood. Mrs. McKenzle and Mrs. Morrison poured out the coffee.

SEE SCHLATTER FAITII-HEATiIXG DEMONSTRATION BEFORE 2500 PEOPLE. Thirty Sufferer Presented Them selves on the Stagre Trro Jumped nnd Danced. To see sick people made well by faith healing at a demonstration by Rev. Charles McLean, otherwise known as Schlatter, about as strange an audience as ever filled the Marquam Theater as- t-sembled there last night, 2500 srong. Thir ty sufferers presented themselves, and some said they were healed. Two Jumped and danced, in their Joy, on the stage. The theater doors were opened at 7 o'clock, and a crowd which, extended along the sidewalk nearly to Sixth street strug gled to get into the building. Men hob- bllng on crutches, and thin, pale-faced women were in the throng. A stalwart man bearing on his shoulders a girl of 14 i.years who lie said,. had been .a cripple i for years, tried to clear a passage, but failed. Every seat In the theater was filled 15 minutes after the doors opened, and people crowded the aisles. A temporary stairway, with a railing, had been built from the floor of the theater to the stage. On the stage were five chairs, a table, a basin of water, and a towel. At 7:35 Schlatter appeared on the stage, wearing a suit of black. His luxuriant hair was combed out to Its fullest length, and he at once delivered an invocation for aid. the kernel of which was that without God man Is nothing. A noisy group In the gallery chattered audibly, as Schlater read from Mark xvi:15: "And he said unto them, go ye unto all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Schlatter told the au dience that he would preach from the "same old gospel," and that as Jesus preached the Word and healed the sick, co would he. "I claim to do nothing my self," he said. "I simply ask God's bless ing, and if people believe that God can heal them, they will be healed. Those "here are strangers to me. They are your fellow-citizens." Schlatter then asked those who wished to be healed to occupy the front row of peats, saying that he reserved the right to reject any whom he thought did not have faith. Thirty presented themselves, and he asked each one: "Do you believe In Jesus Christ, and that he can heal you?" Answers were given In the affirm ative, and then Schlatter told the patients, mostly women, to take off their hats, eye glasses and gloves. The first one treated said she was Mrs. Elixabeth Shore, of Walla Walla, and that she suffered from spine trouble. Schlatter dipped his hands In the basin, and, turning to Mrs. Shore, who was seated with her back to the audience, placed his hands oa her head, and prayed lnaudlbly. Then Mrs. Shore arose, smiling, and Schlatter cried: "The woman says that the Lord has blessed and healed her." Mrs. L. A. Wll?on, Monroe street, and Mrs. Spalding, Fourth street, were next. They were sufferers from rheumatism and lung trouble, respectively. They said that they had been healed. John Hull, Fourth street, hobbled to the stage, leaning on a walking-stick, and said he was suffering from paralysis. Three minutes passed, and then he arose, threw the walking-stick away, and kicked and danced. He cried: "I'm healed! Praise the Lord!" Mrs. Palmer, Park avenue and Burnslde street complained of heart trouble, and she feebly sat down on the chair. Sud denly she jumped up, and cried: "Glory to God! I'm healed!" Then, by actual count, she jumped 20 times. Twenty-five more were treated, and Schlatter said he would stop for the night. Sick people Insisted that he should "heal" them, but he prayed, and left the stage. HOTELMEN COMPLAIN. Sunday Cloning- for Barber Discom moded Their Guest. Hotel men are not in love with the bar bers' Sunday closing law, which went into effect yesterday, as It discommoded many of their guests who had been accustomed to a Sunday morning shave. Two guests of the Hotel Portland, who arrived Sat urday night from Spokane, intending to spend two days in the city, were so dis appointed at finding the barber shops closed that they left for San Francisco. One was Frank Smith, a well-known resi dent of Spokane, and the other a cap italist from New York City. A landlord discussing the experiment yesterday said: "This Sunday closing law for barbers Is an outrage. What can a man do who leaves San Francisco Fri day and arrives here Sunday with two days' beard? If this ridiculous law is enforced, Portland will be put down by the traveling public as a Jay town." Chinese -Robbed of SHjrar Cane. A large crowd of boys and men congre gated on Second street yesterday after noon evidently expecting" to sec some of the preparations for or perhaps opening ceremonies of the Chinese New Year. i The Chinese were selling goods and some Chinese were carrying home stalks of sugar cane. For want of. any better amusement apparently, mobs of half grown boys followed the men who had sugar caoe and in several instances pounced on them and took the canes riwnv frnm thfm. Thk -was pvldentlv enn- vlrtchrarf a vtrv fiinnv n tiA frrnvrl I whooped and yelled and chased from one place to another as different Chinamen were attacked and robbed. Some of the men attacked showed fight but their as sailants were 100 to 1 and they stood no show. The Chinese generally affected to laugh at the "uproar, and the boys were only having fun of a rather rude sort PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL. Promote!!, of the Portland Team to Meet Tonight. A meeting of the promoters of the Port land professional baseball team has been called for this evening at the Commercial Club, when an effort will be made to In fuse new life into the project. In the opinion of J. J. McCloskey, the Louis ville baseball man, who is representing Tacoma in the proposed league, enough stock has been subscribed in Portland to warrant going ahead with the organi zation of the team and the league. In an interview yesterday he said: "I have met a number of prominent Portland business men, who say they are desirous of having the city represented in the league. This Is the largest city In the proposed circuit, and there Is no doubt In my mind that league ball would pay well here. In 1S0O-91. when Vanderbeck had an Interest In the Portland franchise In the Pacific Northwest League, the games were well patronized, and Vanderbeck and his associates received big dividends on their Investment The success of 1S90-91 can be duplicated this year. Portland Is larger now than in 1SS0 by CO.OQO people, busi ness Is as good now as It was then, and there Is a great deal of enthusiasm mani fested In the National game. An effort has been made here to raise J5CO0 for the purpose of securing a league franchise and supporting a first-class team. I am told that $2000 has been subscribed. That amount is "almost sufficient to start on. I do not see the necessity of raising 55O0O when $2300, I think. Is plenty to start with. There is enough money subscribed to warrant Portland securing a fran chise and going ahead with arrangements for the coming season. "What is necessary now Is to put up the cash forfeit guarantee of $500, and $40 for protection under the National agree ment Tacoma has raised $2500, and Is ready to put up the $500 forfeit Seattle and Spokane, I am advised, are ready to put up their guarantees any time on demand. Portland has sufficient money In sight, and should be willing to post the forfeit and protection money at once. There is no sense In hustling for more sub scriptions until we know positively that Spokane and Seattle will post their for feit guarantees. "Tacoma has been ready for a week to put up the forfeit and protection money. We can raise nil the money we need In Tacoma for the support of the club after the forfeit guarantees have been put up. As soon as all the forfeit guarantees are up the public will know that the clubs mean business, and every one will have confidence and take more Interest In the league project The thing for the Port land baseball promoters to do Is to put up the $500 cash forfeit and send a rep resentative to the league meeting, which will be held In Tacoma Thursday even ing." IN NEED OF REPAIRS. Asphalt Pavement nt Foot of Mor rison Street Broken. Some one place a stake in a miniature pond at the foot of Morrison street yes terday and tied a decoy duck to It to call the attention of the city authorities to the condition of the asphalt pavement at tha point A number of small boys congregated on the corner and amused themselves by pelting the wooden duck with sticks and stones. That portion of Morrison street has been badly out of repair for many months, and as It Is at tho approach to the Morrison-street bridge, the traffic of teams, street-cars and bicycles Is constant and enormous. Under the present charter, repairs are not made to streets unless the major ity of the abutting properfy-owners pe tition therefor. Keeping an asphalt pave ment In repair on a prominent thorough fare Is somewhat expensive, and so no one Is anxious to take the lead In the matter. When a street has once been put In good condition, all the teams In that portion of town are attracted and thus thp street Is oon damaged.
