THE MOKXING OREGONIAN. MONDAY, MARCH 11, lflOl. CiTY NEWS IN BRIEF Aninxcmenti Tonlclat. CORDUAY'S THnATEH-"The Village Par- son." METROPOLITAN THEATEIt-'-Reld by the Enemy." Teachers as Housekeepers. The pub lic school teachers received their salaries for February last Saturday and there will be only four more pay days before the long vacation, when no teacher can work and no salaries are paid. Many of the teachers endeavor to economize In or der to accumulate a fund ahead for va cation expenses. Some economize in one "way, some In another. Two have been heard of who tried keeping house for themselves. No sooner had they got their kitchen fixed up and their larder stored than they had a succession of visitors. As soon as one was gone another, who had evidently been waiting, arrived, and the two unfortunate hostesses were nearly worked to death. Not only their entire salaries, but the money they had saved was expended for provisions to feed their numerous guests. As soon as there was a break in the succession, of visitors the teachers threw out all their kitchen uten sils and housekeeping paraphernalia In short, "broke up housekeeping." Another pair of teachers tried the same experi ment. As soon as they were ready to furnish meals a friend from the country came on a visit. She appeared to enjoy visiting, and, after a month or so, sent for her sister to come and help her visit. One of the teachers who was doing the entertaininc was heard humming an old ditty as she washed the dishes. It was composed bj a man when he heard that his mother-in-law was coming to visit him, and runs something like this: "Oh, she is coming here to stay, and she never wiM go away, and the devil will be to pay, Mary Jane." The unfortunates have many sympathizing friends, but none who can tell them how to rrr rM of their vis itors. Uses for Oregon' Timber. Oregon tim ber has a well-established reputation abroad, as is shown by the faot that a lot of 100-foot sticks for masts for racing yachts has just gone across the conti nent. Logs are being cut at Benson's camp at Bunker Hill, which are to be sawn into sticks 8x20 Inches and 100 feet long. They will be shipped to San Fran cisco and used in the construction of a monster ferry slip. These are required to be good, clear lumber, and so the finest trees of medium size have to be selected, as large trees would be likely to contain too many knots. It requires careful se lection to secure such trees, and great care in felling and getting them out. For this reason about three times the ordin ary price is paid for them. Under the most favorable circumstances there is a loss of from 5 to 7 per cent by breakage in felling trees, and on rough ground it is much more. Sometimes smaller trees have to be cut out of the way. or felled to fill hollows and prevent other trees from breaking when they strike the ground. Lumbermen give no thought to preserving the small trees for future log gers. It takes a long time for them to grow, and no one expects to live till they are fit for use, so they are recklessly de stroyed. Some of these days Oregon log gers will be glad to cut for saw logs such trees as they now waste, but another race may Inhabit the country by that time, if it has not been submerged or become an arid region. Sufficient for this age are the logs thereof. Little Sport for Shooters. As it is unlawful to shoot ducks, geese, swan, pheasants, grouse, quail, elk. deer or any thing that a sportsman wants to hunt, ex cept snipe, and there are none of these, the sportsman who has to shoot must amuse himself with clay pigeons and other things not protected. Not quite so many cartridges are used in this way as when duck shooting was going on, but still a man or two find employment in every gun store loading shells. If the shells are to be used In shooting for a championship or a prize, special care Is taken in loading them, and the wads are pressed down on the powder as hard as the loading machine can do It. The old theory of "ram tight your powder and loose your shot, and you're sure to k.ll dead on the spot." seems to apply to ma chine loading, as well as it did when the shooter measured the charge of powder and shot In the palm of his hand and used paper or hornets nest for wadding. Shoot ing clay targets Is not bad sport for the one who wins, but It does not afford so much satisfaction as shooting ducks or other game and gratifying the instinct to kill something. Should Build Ltjmder Schooners. A seafaring man, noticing a wagon-load of huge crooked planks sawn from the stump of a fir tree on the way to some boatyard to be used as stems for boats or launches, remarked that It was strange that so little shipbuilding is done here. He said that instead of having large and costly steamships coming to carry away lumber sawn here. Portland should have a fleet of huge schooners, six or eight-masted ones, to carry this lumber. These ves sels could be built here cheaply, for near ly everything used in their construction may be produced here. The best of tim ber is at hand for building the vessels, and there is plenty of lumber to load them. As lumber is not perishable stuff, there Is no particular hurry to move It. and schooners could carry it much more cheaply than steamships. Such schooners of medium size are being built at several ports on this coast, and are found very profitable, and there is no port on the coast which offers such good opportuni ties for employing them as Portland. Will Trt Stock Raising. Captain Fred Wilson, who has a tract of 1400 acres on Beaver Creek, back of Rainier, from a large part of which the timber has been cleared for some time, has had portable shingle-sawing machines in there cutting up cedar stumps, and is now going into the business of stock raising. He has had 7G0 acres inclosed with a barbed-wire fence for pasture. This kind of fence is costly, but taking the danger of forest fires and everything else into considera tion, he concluded that it would be the cheapest in the long run, and it will keep his stock on his place. Captain Wilson has an Iron mine on his place, which he thinks will be developed "before long. There Is any amount of ore which assays 47 per cent of iron. It is easily accessible. Crematorium Nearinq CoMPLnnoN. Work on ihe crematorium is progressing favorably. The roof is on the building, the grounds have been terraced, and a force pump has been Installed at the fine spring on the slope which will supply all the water, needed. Two lots have been purchased across the street from the cre matorium where a dwelling for the Jan itor and a building for the machinery will be built, if the weather continues favor able? the crematorium should be In op eration by April 15. Portland now has a first-class restau rant, patterned after Delmonlco's and the St. Denis, In New Tork, except as to prices, which are reasonable. Everything appeals to the best trade; furnishings and equipments new and tasty, service unsur passed, and the table reminds one favor ably of home cooking.

The funeral of Tobias Kiter, who lived at Front and Columbia streets, took place yesterday from Holman's. The service was conduct ed by Rev. Stephen S. Wise and Rev. Dr. Bloch. Kiter had lived abput 30 years in Oregon, and was a member of the Ancient Order, of United Workmen. Dental Work Free at college, corner Fifteenth and Couch streets, except a small fee to cover cost of material, for those In moderate circumstances. Jailer Johnson III. Night Jailer James Johnson was taken yesterday to St. Vincents' Hospital, suffering from a severe attack of pneumonia.

Despite cool nights and occasional cool showers, vegetation continues to push ahead ata rapid rate. Many persons fear that the season is advancing too rapidly, and that there may come a frost which will do a great deal of damage. Many kinds of flowers that bloom in the Spring have been in bloom for some time, and more arc con stantly coming out. Weeping willows are looking quite green, a buckeye was seen yesterday with large leaflets, rose bushes are budding, lilies are leafing out; a num ber of varieties of flowering shrubs are in bloom. In sheltered places about town peach trees are putting forth blossoms. Hawthorn Is expanding Its blossoms, and the buds on cherry and other fruit trees are showing the color of their petals. The fact is that the ground Is warm, as it never got cold last Winter, and when the ground is warm a little sunshine and warm weather goes a long ways In forc ing vegetation. After all. It Is not so very early. In 10 days more the vernal equinox will be here, and the sun will rise and set at G o'clock, and Summer will be near at hand. Water Witches Not Infallible. Bor ing for oil is becoming quite a fad these days, and the necessity for some kind ot an instrument to locate streams or de posits of oil at any depth, is becoming daily more pressing. There have been "water witches" since the Dark Ages, who could locate veins of water with a forked hazel twig, but it is not certain whether this will do for oil or not. It sometimes fails on water, as In the case of a well on the lots of Mount Scott. S. Loewen stein, who owna farm on that plateau, set a party of men In want of work, to digging a well at a spot where a water witch had decided that there was an un derground current. They went down Sfl feet, but found no water. The proprietor of the place then hunted up a likely spot and told the men to dig there, and at a depth of 40 feet they struck a vein which drove them out of the well. The water rose 24 feet, and stands at that height. From this It will be seen that water witches are not unfalllble. Obligations of Arctic Brotherhood. The Arctic Brotherhood Is a fraternal or ganization, which has not yet gained a foothold in Portland. Though nearly every other brotherhood is represented nere and many people belong to more lodges than there are nights in the week to at tend them, there are still some whose time Is not fully occupied. The lodges of the Arctic Brotherhood are numerous on the Dawson route, beginning at Skagway and following all trails to the north. One of the principal obligations assumed by members is never to permit any one to kick a dog. Such a rule may be neces sary in Alaska, but not in Portland, for there Is an unwritten law which covers the matter, and the man who kicks a dog Is sure to have trouble with the owner. Ready to Bore for Oil. D. M. Wat son, who has become sanguine that oil can be found near Troutdale. left Satur day evening for Los Angeles, to obtain a few more points on the operation of oil wells. Before leaving, he formed a cor poration with ample means to test the Troutdale country, and by Wednesday the machinery will be on the ground for boring to a great depth. Mr. Watson has been studying the oil business for sev eral months, and has had Troutdale rock sent to Pennsylvania for arialysls. He has expert testimony to the effect that this rock Is Just the thing, and so the new company will not let up until crude petroleum is flowing from a six-inch well, in the eastern part of Multnomah County. Streets to Be REPAinED.-'-Clty En gineer Chase has been Instructed to pre pare an estimate -of the cost of repairing streets which have been Improved with brick and asphalt. The asphalt on Mor rison, Third. Pine and the northern pirt of Sixth streets, and the brick pavements on First and Burnside streets are, as the Engineer reports, subject to very heavy traffic, and are much in need of repair. They have costly concrete foundations, which. In places, are being rapidly worn away. The longer these streets are per mitted to go wlthou repairs the more it will cost to put them In order, and as "a stitch in time saves nine," the Council thinks they should be looked after at once. Sunday Popcorn Scattered. "Pop corn," sang out Morris Goldberg last night, as he walked along Third street, carrying a basket of the delicacy, when someone kicked the basket and sent the popcorn flying. The Sunday night crowd laughed. J. Spebans was arrested, charged with having assaulted Goldberg. Death of a Portland Man. Nathan W. Woodruff, a Mexican War and G. A. R. veteran, died at Sumpter, Or., yes terday. He was an old resident of Port land.

Two gambling ralda were made by the police at 10 o'clock last night, on the Burnslde-street saloons of August Erlck son and Blazier Bros. Twelve men were arrested for gambling. The police say the raid was not made by evidence sup plied by the Law Enforcement League. Police Captain Hoare was In charge of the rajd, assisted by Sergeant Moore, and Policemen Smith, Welch and Irving. At Blazler's place, these men were arrested: Eugene Blaster, William Sherman, C. Blazier, Frank Harrington, William Jack son. Ed Patton and James Sinclair. These arrests were made at Erlckson's: A. G. Simmons, Thomas Smith, Charles Burke, Samuel Linden and C. Wilson. .ine cnarge was gamming. me men were taken to the police station. Eugene Blazier and August Erlckson furnished $25 ball for each of the defendants. The police seized chips and cards, and said that the defendants had been play ing "crap" and "twenty-one" for gain. The raids were quietly conducted, and there was no excitement. With regard to the gambling cases against the Portland Club crowd, In all probability they will be tried by City At torney Long. The Law Enforcement League officials hope to bring the cases up in the Police Court very eoon. COMING IN JULY. Pre Clul Will Arrange to Enter tain International Leagrue. The Portland Press Club wlll meet this evening, in The Oregonian building, to appoint committees for the entertainment of the International League of Press Clubs, which will meet here in July. Thij, league, while not comprising so large a membership as that of the National Ed itorial Association which met here in 1S39, is an Important body. Its membership is composed of delegates from city press clubs that have permanent homes and headquarters. The league members will come to Portland via San Francisco, where the Press Club will entertain them two 4aye. After leaving Portland, the del egation will visit Eastern Oregon and the Puget Sound cities, returning home via the Canadian Pacific One week will be spent in Oregon. The first stop will be made at Roseburg. The members desire particularly to visit the mining districts of this state, aa the pa pers they represent are published In com mercial centers where money for invest ment Is plentiful. For this reason a day in Eastern and Southern Oregon Is being planned. Sale to Reduce Stock. New Tork Mercantile Co.. 205 Third.

Leprlxlnturos at Bolie and Salt Lalte PaftKcd Retiolntlona Under Sus pension of the Rnlcs Result of Mr. Duniivny'K Trip. A very cordial feeling toward the great centennial fair to be held at Portland in 1905 is reported among the people of Idaho and Utah by Willis S. Dunlway. who re turned yesterday from a 10-day trip to Boise and Salt Lake. He was the repre sentative of the committee in charge of the preliminary work of the proposed ex hibition. The dangers and obstacles over come by Lewis and Clark are well under stood In both states, and the value of their ex edition In strengthening the claim of the United States to "the Oregon coun try" Is fully realized. A simple state ment of Portland's purposes In making an exposition to promote commerce between the Pacific Northwestern States and the Oriental countries was usually sufficient to draw out expressions of approval; yet there wert various difficulties in the way of getting such recognition -at the hands of the Legislatures as was desired by Portland. In Idaho the time of adjournment was near, and there was the customary ri valry among members to advance their own bills. It was evident that the state's? business could not be finlshod without overrunning the CO-day term, and not only did the individual members have tholr own measures to push at the last, but there were the usual contentions over ap propriations and political measures, notably a reapportlorment bill, which the Republicans were opposing, and the fu sionlsts determined to force through. Any new measure meant delay for pending bills, ami possible defeat for some of them: yet the idea of a Pacific Northwest ern exposition was sn popular that there Was no opposition to meet only inertia to overcome During Mr. Dunlway's first day in Boise he met a number of the leg islators, and in the evening- Senator Kln caltl arranged a meeting for him. which he briefly addressed with a view to show ing the benefits to accrue to the North west from the fair. Next day a call was made upon Governor Hunt, who was found to be favorably disposed toward the fair and the making of a proper display by Idaho. Later the Governor sent a message o the Legislature suggesting ac tion In line with a memorial adopted by the Oregon Legislature. Tuesday, the 5th, the House adopted resolutions directing the Idaho delegation in Congress to stand with the Oregon delegation In seeking Government aid, and authorizing the Gov ernor to name a commission to take charge of the matter of a display of Ida ho's products and report to the next Leg islature the amount of money necessary properly to represent the state. These resolutions were concurred In by the Sen ate last Saturday. There was considerable opposition among the members to any appropriation for the Pan-American fair at Buffalo, but not even those who op posed the spending of money at Buffalo offered any objection to a display at Port land. Among those who took special in terest in securing the adoption of the con current resolutions in Idaho were Sen ators Klncaid and Hegsted and Represen tatives Snow, White and Mandell. Wednesday, the Cth, Mr. Dunlway went to Salt Lake, where he found the condi- tlons.about the same as at Boise, but with this difficulty that the time had passed when new matters could be Introduced, and under the rules only tljose measures already pending could be acted upon. At first this seemed an Insuperable obstacle to action, but after an Interview with Governor Wells arid talks with several of the Senators and some of the Representa tives there seemed a chance of success. Speaker Glassman afforded Mr. Dunlway opportunity to address the House mem bers, and stated that he would make no ruling to shut out a resolution if. It were offered. Representative Wells, brother of the Governor, gave his cordial approval, and finally Representative Thomas H Davis, of Ogden. took in hand the Oregon resolutions and secured the Indorsement of Chairman Stuart, of the Federal rela tions committee and the promise of sup port from many members. When the House was called to order In the after noon the speaker recognized Mr. Davis, who presented the matter persuasively and urged that no obstacle be thrown In the way of the recognition asked by their neighboring City of Portland. The reso lutions were adopted without opposition and later were transmitted to the Senate. Here the resolutions were taken in charge by Senators Sherman and Smoot, who in troduced Mr. Dunlway to the Senators at recess and afforded him a chance to pre sent the claims of Portland. The Evans polygamy bill was a special order for the evening, but nevertheless President Evans consented to permit the Oregon resolutions to come up, and recognized Senator Sherman when the Senate was called to order at 8 o'clock." The temper of the Senate was as generous as that of the House, and on roll call not a vote was recorded in the negative. Senator Sher man then, on behalf of Portland's repre sentative, expressed cordial thanks for the generous treatment of Oregon by the Utafc Legislature- Great development has marked Idaho and Utah In recent years, says Mr. Dunl way. In the Snake River Valley wide areas have been reclaimed, and every where there are evidences of growth and progress. All the way from the crossing of Snake River, past Welser, Payette, Caldwell and' Nampa, and on to Boise, there are many new farms, young orch ards, fine alfalfa fields and new dwell ings, while all the towns, notably Nampa and Weiser, show new buildings. In Boise during the past 10 years many fine struc tures have gone up, including handsome school buildings, hospital and a six-story hotel, that is a feature of the thriving little city. Boise still holds Its place as the center of the state's social, educa tional and business life, and is keeping pace easily with the country's growth. Salt Lake also has improved greatly in the past 10 years. One who has not vis ited It In that time will at once be struck with its progress. Not only has it larger and finer stores, better buildings and many handsome new dwellings, but Its wide streets are well paved and its car lines cover Its great area in a very sat isfactory way. Its city and county build ing is a magnificent structure of granite, steel and marble, admirably adapted for the purposes for which it was designed, while the new State University buildings, out toward Fort Douglas, are noticeable additions to the city's architecture. But, of course, the chief points of Interest to the tourist are still the Mormon Temple, the Tabernacle, the Gardo House, the Eagle Gate and thp remains of the walls that formerly enclosed the City of Zlon. Postmaster Elliott's Statement. POWELL'S VALLEY, Or.. March 9. (To the Editor.) The Dally and Weekly Ore gonian of March 8 quote Postmaster El liott, of Powell's Valley, as saying that his office' is doing nothing at all. There Is no truth In the statement I did not make a statement to any one except that the office Is in a prosperous condition. Few patrons of the Powell's Valley post office have boxes.

Secretary J. S. Fobs, of the Ex-Soldiers' and Sailors' Association, says he will call the annual meeting of the members this month as soon as he can arrange a night that will not conflict with some other or ganization. John E. Mayo, the president, says at this meeting the future of the association will be discussed. It was started on the basis that all ex-soldiers were eligible to membership. Including Indian. Mexican and Spanish-American veterans. On the roll are the names of several ex-Confederates, and all were supposed to participate in the annual re unions. It was found at the last reunion that only members of the G, A. R. posts took interest. The association will be re organized and put under the control of the Portland G. A, R. posts and Woman's Relief Corps, or disbanded. Weaver Memorial Services. Memorial services were held yesterday morning in the First United. Brethren Church, East Morrison and East Fifteenth streets, for Rt. Rev. Jonathan Weaver, bishop emeritus, who died at Dayton, O., February 6. The altar was decorated. On the left of the platform was a large portrait of Bishop Weaver, surrounded with Oregon grape leaves and white flowers. Mrs. J. A. Henkle, president of the Woman's Missionary Society, read se lections from the writings of the bishop, and Miss Blanche Ressler read a tribute to his memory by Bishop N. Castle. Rev. Frank E. Coulter, pastor, delivered the memorial sermon. Bishop Weaver was in Portland about Ave years ago at the dedi cation of the First United Brethren Church. He was then in very feeble health. Third Church "Will Not Move. The members of the Third Presbyterian Church, which stands on the corner of East Ninth and East Oak streets, have decided not to move to another site. There has been talk of disposing of the property, buying a lot on East Sixteenth street and building a new church. After careful consideration it has been decided that this would not be advisable. Plans for the reconstruction of the church have been prepared. Provision is made for a complete change of the building. The Beating capacity of the auditorium will be increased so that more than 500 peo ple can be accommodated. The audi torium will be changed so that the pul pit will be on the west side Instead of in the south end, as at present. The cost of these Improvements, together with furniture, will be about 5000. Bicycle Accident. Chris Larsen, a young man living on the East Side, while wheeling on Hawthorne avenue a few days ago, collided with a woman who was pushing a baby carriage containing two Infants. The woman was tumbled into the street and bruised, the babies were thrown Into the mud, and the buggy nearly wrecked. Larsen was bad ly frightened when he saw what had hap pened, but put up a bold face and went on. The husband was highly indignant, and called on Larsen next day at his place of employment, and had a hot argument with him. and demanded damages in cash, and threatened to take It out of Larsen's hide. He wanted Larsen to pay him 55 for damages to the buggy, but this was refused. Larsen contended he had & right to the sidewalk, and the "woman and babies had no right to be on the sidewalk anyhow, and he would pay nothing." There was no settlement, and the matter will probably get Into the courts. East Side Note. The meeting of the Sub-Board of Trade of Peninsular, announced to take place Saturday night, was postponed on account of the storm. Mrs. R. Fields and daughter, relatives of F. S. Fields, of Mount Tabor, and L. R. Fields, of the Southern Pacific Railway, arrived Saturday from Kentucky. They will make their home In Portland. Mr. and Mrs. Walter McCabe, also from Ken tucky, came with them on a visit to Port land. Dr. Wise, room 614, The Dekum. PURI1I ENTERTAINMENT. Over 300 Children of Jewish Schools Attended.

Vote OLD MAN'S CLOSE CALL ROBERT POTTER FALLS FROM THE STEAMER IIASSALO. Rescued In an Unconscious Condi- tlon After He Had Been In Water Ten MlHutes. Prompt work by Captain Sam Coulson and -First Officer J. J. Anderson, of the, steamer Has"salo, saved the life of Robert Potter, of Oregon City, 60 years old, who fell overboard near Astoria yesterday morning. As the steamer was opposite Tongue Point and about six miles from Astoria, Mr. Potter came out of his stateroom and went to the rail and, holding on to a stanchion, began to cough. He lost his balance and fell overboard. The only person who saw him go overboard was one of the waiters, who immediately cried out, "Man overboard!" Captain Coulson stopped the engine as soon as he heard the cry and turned the wheel hard over. Before the boat had gone her length he started the wheel a&aln and turned back on his course in search of the man. He ordered one of the boats cleared away. Soon he saw the elbow and back of the head of a man In the water. First Officer Anderson and two of 'the crew Jumped in the small boat and rowed to the place where the man had disap peared. They found him floating, but un conscious. He was taken on board the steamer after having been in the water for nearly 10 minutes. Volunteers from the crew and passengers began the work of resuscitation. After Ave minutes of hard work the man was out of danger. Upon the arrival of the steamer at Asto ria, Mr. Potter was taken to the hospital. COMING ATTRACTIONS. Sale of Seats for the Henschels Today.
