From Smelt to Veai Since the catch
Of smelt In the Cowlitz began to fall oft
the steam-boats coming from that section
are bringing partial cargoes of butchered
calves, and citizens -will doubtless be glad
to change a diet of smelt for one of veal,
ui late the boats from the Cowlitz have
been bringing up as many as 500 boxes of
smelt per day, which would seem to be
enough to furnish the whole state with
brain producing food. Now the arrivals
average only about 100 boxes per day,
and they are the last jun from the tail
end of the school. The dairy farms along
the river are beginning to turn off calves
wholesale, and various butchers receive
15 to 20 by e-ery boat. Many of these
have the livers left in them, but the ma
jority are minus the "sweetbreads."
Either the calves did not have any or,
as the butchers and dairymen allege, they
were taken out by the steamboatmen. It
seems a pity to see so many calves
slaughtered when milch cows and beet
cattle are so scarce and in such great de
mand as at present, for many of these
calves are evidently of cood breeds.
Dairymen, however, say that they are
In the butter-making business, and not in
the stockralslng business, and they must
get rid of their calves as soon as prac
ticable, for the milk they would consume
would be worth much more than the
calves. In some places the calves are
killed or got rid of when only a few days
old, but such "staggering bobs" are not
allowed to be sold in the markets here.
Judson's Wonderful Incubator. Colo
nel It. C. Judson, the well-known agros
tologlst, who has made thousands of
blades of grass of many different kinds
grow where nary a blade grew before, is
now taking a lively interest in poultry
and egg production, and is going to cause
thousands of chickens and tens of thou
sands of eggs to be produced where none
have heretofore been produced. He wants
to get his enterprise started on a large
scale, and was seen yesterday prowling
among the Front-street dealers In poultry
supplies, looking for an Incubator. He
could And plenty of ordinary ones, but
he wanted a railroad incubator. This is a
sort of endless chain arrangement travel
ing slowly through a series of chambers
or tunnels properly heated, and which
Is fitted with a hopper at one end for
depositing eggs in the traveling conveyor.
The machinery is timed, so tha.t the eggs
are hatched as they reach the end of the
heated tunnel and a constant stream of
young chickens blows out Into his brood
ers, while the conveyor goes back to take
away more eggs to be hatched. He could
not find the kind of Incubator he wanted,
and will probably have to build one. In
this case he will locate It at a hot spring
he knows of, which will furnish power
,to operate it and also the heat necessary
lor hatching out the chickens.
Lira in a Fish Trap Town. George
Hlbbert, publisher and editor of the Chi
nook Observer, was in the city yesterday
on business. He is highly elated over
the prospects of his paper, which Is now
15 weeks old and which he says is "a
daisy." It is published at "Old Chinook,"
a town on the shore of Baker's Bay, the
ancient capital of Pacific County. The
town Is essentially a fish trap town, and
a cash business town. There are 500 fish
traps owned there, and every one of them
Is worth $1000, and one could not be
bought for $10,000. so the town has half
a million Invested In fish traps. The fish
ing season will begin soon, and then the
money will begin to fly. for there will
be launches from canneries, from cold
storage establishments, from pickling
men, on hand waiting for fish, and every
salmon caught can be exchanged for "?20
pieces" at once. Of course, the trapmen
will be anxious to exchange their $20
pieces for "Observers," and thus every
body will be happy and prosperous. Mr.
Hlbbert thinks there Is no place like a
flsh trap town.
Need Fire Protection. A delegation
of lumber and other manufacturers at the
north end of the city, represented by
Donald Mackay, called yesterday at the
office of the Board of Fire Commission
ers to inquire why the fire engine-house
built at the north end some time ago
and named the Storey Engine-house, in
honor of ex-Mayor Storey, was not sup
plied with an engine. There is no fire en
gine In that part of the city north of
"Washington street, and in the manu
facturing district at the north end fire
protection is badly needed. Chief Camp
bell, of the Fire Department, remarked
that the empty engine-house "was rather
an empty honor to Mr. Storey, and that
he was free to admit that there ought to
be an engine there. He suggested that
Mr. Mackay endeavor to persuade the
Council to supply funds for the purchase
of an engine, and perhaps the Fire Com
missioners would do the rest
New Kindergarten. The Kindergarten
Association has taken charge of a kin
dergarten at the corner of Harrison and
Third streets, and will conduct it in the
future In addition to three already estab
lished. The association has also decided
to establish two new kindergartens. One
will be located In East Portland, and the
other In Alblna. Miss Pritchard. the su
perintendent of the several Institutions,
expressed the opinion last night that
the new branches would be ready for
opening by the middle of April or the
first of May. The apparent inactivity of
the association during the past few
months seems to have vanished, and' all
the members are taking an active inter
est in making the work of the associa
tion a success. The average attendance
at the four schools already established is
about 140. There is a principal and one
assistant at each institution.
No Action on Philippine Tarriff.
No action has been taken by any Port
land trade organization on the items of
the proposed Philippine tariff which
chiefly interest the Pacific Coast. Secre
tary Root, of the "War Department will
hold the schedules open until April 15. to
hear objections. Some Portland firms may
ask that the duty on oleomargarine be
raised. It Is put at G cents per kilo,
whereas pure butter pays 5 cents. The
differential between the genuine and the
bogus allele is only 1 cent per kilo of
two and one-fifth pounds. "IV. H. Chapln
offers to forward to Washington all ob
jections or suggestions made by Port
land merchants. He may be addressed
care of "W. B. Glafke Company. The
tariff was published in The Oregonian
March 22.
Mr. Kleemans Defense. Otto Klee
man. who is charged with assaulting Con
ductor Hellyer, makes the following state
ment In his defense: "The reason I struck
the conductor was that he carried us by
the crossing and would not ring back
for my invalid wife, who is not able to
walk, much less through the mud. and
whom I had to carry to the crossing In
my arms."

"A Contemporart of Jesus." Lecture
by Rev. Dr. Wise, Wednesday, March 27,
Unitarian Chapel, 8 P. M.
Beoajj Too Late. The late extension of
the Are limits made by the Council has
prevented the carrying out of one proposed
improvement It had been contemplated
to raise the house at the northwest corner
of Sixth and Stark streets, owned by Sam
Wolf, and to build another story under
it A permit was taken out for
this work before the ordinance extend
ing the fire limits was passed, but the
work was not commenced. Now the Fire
Commissioners refuse to allow the work
to be proceeded with under the old per
mit. They say that if this was allowed
anyone could take out such permits and
keep them for years and so defeat the
object of any future extension of the
Are limits.
Good Onlt by Comparison. Yesterday
was a rather remarkable day In regard to
variety of weather, sunshine and showers
and hail storms all mixed up. At one
time the sidewalks were fairly white with
ball, and an Eastern man who is visiting
the city undertook to chaff some of the
citizens about the beauties of Oregon cli
mate. He was requested to glance his
hazel eyes over the pages of The Morn
ing Oregonian and note what delightful
weather they were enjoying all over the
East. He had nothing more to say.
Prisoner's Strange Excuse. John
Jones was before Municipal Judge
Cameron yesterday, charged with attempt
ing to hold up a milk wagon last Sun
day and when asked what he had to say,
he muttered: "Circles." "What do you
mean by such an expression?" Deputy
City Attorney Davis asked. Jones re
sponded with a confused statement that
everything was in circles, and that the
world is a circle. Jones" case was held
over until today, so that his mental con
dition may be examined.
Reversing the Old Order. Steam
boats running between Portland and Sa
lem are ndw carrying more grain prod-
ucts in the way of bran, chop and all
sorts of cut feed up the river than they
are bringing down. This is partly due
to the fact that there Is no flour mill at
Salem now, and partly to the small crop
of cereals in the Wllamette Valley last
year. Not only is a large amount of
ground feed going to Salem, but consider
able is shipped to Albany ana points
beyond.
Sixth Social Science Lecture. Dr.
Wise's lecture will be upon "A Contempo
rary of Jesus," at the Unitarian Church
this evening. This will be a thoughtful
presentation of the personality most re
sembling that of the founder of Chris
tianity, and one whose profound views of
human life and society no doubt perme
ated Palestine. The speaker's well-known
scholarship and breadth of sympathy as
sure an intensely interesting lecture.
Y. W C. A. A public meeting will
be held tonight In Grace M. E. Church,
Twelfth and Taylor streets, at o'clock.
All are cordially Invited to be present
and learn the scope and purpose of the
work.

Dredge Cutting for 81 Feet ot Water
nt Zero.
President Hughes and Commissioners
Banfield. Swigert, Rellly and McCraken,
of the Port of Portland Commission, went
down the river to Knapp's yesterday, to
ece the dredge at work. They were ac
companied by J. G. Kelley, the newly
elected superintendent of river work, and
Clerk Stevens. The dredge had Just been
brought up the river from Eagle Cliff.
The commissioners found It dredging up
stream, and discharging through COO feet
of pipe. It Is cutting a channel which
will be a mile long, 150 feet wide, and
have 31 feet of water at xero. The pre&:
ent channel depth is 22 feet The mate
rial dredged Is sand. Superintendent Kel
ley examined the dredge, and expressed
eatlsfaction with It
Sufficient work was not done yesterday
to test the value of upstream dredging.
President Hughes said yesterday that the
dredge and the current are doing good
work.

tinuing Friday and Saturday nights,
March 2S, 29. and 30, with a special mat

From the title, "The Parish Priest"
one would Judge that Daniel Sully's new
productior. was a strictly religious one,
on the contrary there is not enough re
ligion in it to offend the moet constant
and loyal church-goer.

"WOMAN TAKEN FROM A BURNING
BUILDING. '
She Was Abont to Jump From an
Upper Story When the Depart
ment Arrived.
An cxclling scene was witnessed at a
fire Which broke out at Abraham B.
Burger's house, 47 North Fifth street, last
night, where Mrs. Burger was rescued
from the flames and assisted down a lad
dor by the gallant work of Firemen Au
gustus JErlckson, Perry Jackson and Wil
liam Aspland, of Company No. 1. The
damage was $700, and the Insurance is
J1000. A pet canary was burned to death.
Curiously enough, two fires, broke out
nearly at the same time. An alarm was
sounded from box 142, Third and Davis
streets? by Policeman Edward Wilkinson
for a blaze which started in c barn owned
by Mr. Nicolai. The fire-horses raced for
this fire at their usual speed, and the
solitary horse Inside the barn was res
cued. The flames were easily subdued,
and the loss was slight Just then, a man
In a buggy drove up and told Chief Camp
bell that a fire had broken out on Fifth
streot, near Everett, and the horses raced
to the new fire, which proved more ex
citing. Burger's house Is a frame structure of
two stories, and Mr. and Mrs. Burger were
asleep when the flames began at the rear
part of the house. Burger wss awakened
by a territic noise at his front door, and
he went down to see what was the mat
ter. In the meantime, smoke and flame
darted through the bedroom where Mrs.
Burger was. and she ran for her life to
the porch fronting on Fifth street, fol
lowed by a sheet of flame. She looked as
If she wro about to Jump to the ground,
a distance of 25 feet
"Don't Jump!" yelled the crowd, and
just then Truck No. 1 swung around the
corner. Erickson, Jackson and Aspland
placed a ladder In front of the blazing
building, and In less than a minute Mr3.
Burger was carried down, amid the ap
plause of the crowd.
Mrs. Burger appeared to be hysterical,
and she cried: "Where's my husband?
Find him." In the meantime. Burger
was busy fighting the flames at the rear,
but the neighbors thought he was inside
the burning house, and Policeman Car
penter volunteered to search for him.
Carpenter gallantly fought his way
through the smoke, when a yell was
raised: "Burger is in the yard," and Car
penter gladly came back.
Some of the furniture was saved from
therear doors, but the blaze burst out
with increasing fury, and at this point
threatened to spread to the factory or
Povey Brothers' Glas6 Company, at the
rear of Burger's house. William Kuckcn
berg's house, to the south, was also
scorched with flame, but after hard work
the fire was confined to Its original limits.
AWFUL PLACE FOR SICK.
Joss-House Hoftpltal Will Be Offi
cially Investigated.
Because of increase in the death rate
and bad sanitary conditions, the Chinese
Joss-House Hospital, at 62 Second street,
will be the object of early investigation
by the Board of Health.
Since February 23 last six Chinese have
died in the Joss-House Hospital without
receiving nursing or proper medical at
tention. Their names are: Hen Sing, 50
years, and Sal Chu, 5S years, from ex
cessive opium smoking; Wong Duck, 44
years, peritonitis; and Ham Won, 52
years. King Ping, 62 years, and Ah Long,
S3 years, each from consumption. Dur
ing the present month, 11 Chinamen have
died In this city a higher percentage of
deaths than has occurred for years. The
statistics of the Board of Health show
that C3 Chinese died In this city in 1900,
of whom only 11 died In the Joss-House
Hospital. These figures gave an average
Chinese death rate of 5.25 per month.
The death rate for the present month Is,
therefore, more than double.
It is difficult to find out whether those
six other Chinamen who died this month
in Chinese lodging-houses were patients
In the Joss-House Hospital before they
were taken to their own rooms to die.
When Second-street Chinamen were asked
about the matter, their faces became
more stolid and they said: "No savey."
An Oregonian reporter visited the Joss
House Hospital a few days ago, when the
lookout man was asleep. The entrance is
through a long, narrow passageway, and
the hosplt'il is In a deplorable, unsanitary
condition. Sunlight never steals Into the
dirty, dingy room, and the atmosphere
is vile. The Chinaman In charge of the
"Joint" holds his position because he is
not afraid of the devil an Important
qualification In Chinese eyes. Bunks are
on either side of the "hospital," where
the sick men are, and If the patients can
crawl to the table In the center of the
floor, where the food Is, well and good.
If the patients cannot do so, that is their
affair, says the Chinese ''nurse." Three
poor wretches huddled In bunks, moaned
as the reporter passed. Herbs and strange
vegetables lay on a table.
Chinamen in good health do not visit
the Joss-House Hospital. "Why should
we visit a place where a man is going
to die?" they ask Incredulously. So, the
sick and the queer Chinese "nurse" are
left to themselves. No cheering visits
brighten the long days, and no flowers
from a friend send out fragrance.
It Is curious that as long as a China
man is In good health and Is able to work
or has money, he is all right In Chinese
eyes. But, if continued ill health seizes
him, his friends avoid him as an unclean
thing. He either goes to the Joss-House
Hospital or his own room, unattended
and uncared for, and dies. Then his
friends brighten up, they serve roast pig
and boiled rice, and give him a glorious
funeral, costing from $75 to $125. See
Nine, a Chinaman who recently com
mitted suicide by stabbing himself with
a pair ot scissors, opposite the Joss
House Hospital, vainly tried to borrow
money from his friends to pay cheap
board, up to the time, he tried to kill
himself. "There is no use lending you
any more money. You will not get well,"
said his friends. Then Seo Nine died, and
his clan gave him'a noisy, public funeral
which coit about $100.
Health Commissioner Menefee was In
terviewed yesterday, and he said that he
had not made a recent examination of
the Joss-House Hospital, but that the
matter will be Investigated by the Board
of Health, in a' day or two. He was of
opinion that the proper place for sick
Chinamen was a special building, which
ought to be erected within the grounds
of the Poor Farm.
"My opinion is that the Joss-House
Hospital should be Inspected by the
Health Officer once a month," said City
Physician Zan. "A fund might be raised
among Chlnumen In this city, from which
sick Chinamen might be sent to some
recognized hospital, where the patients
would receive proper medical attention."
"At present a good many sick China
men arc at the County Hospital, and are
a source of continual expense to the
taxpayers Qf Multnomah County," said
County Physician McKay. "In regard
to the Joss-Houso Hospital, It is the duty
of the Health Department to thoroughly
investigate It, as It is no place for well
people, still less sick people. From what
I know of the place, the sick Chinese are
left entirely to themselves. It they are
able to crawl to their meals, they can do
it; and if not, they die from starvation
and lack of medical attendance. A great
mistake Is made by some physicians in
signing death certificates of Chinese who
die in the Joss-House. without these
physicians having seen the cases previous
to death" taking place. These certificates
of course state the cause of death. In
my opinion, this is contrary to the law
governing death certificates, as made out
by a physlcianr It would be beneficial,
should a fund be, collected In Chinatown
for sick Chinamen, but there would be
difficulty In collecting the money. Better
clean the Joss-House now, than wait un
til an epidemic starts there."

Why Sidewalks Are Neglected.
PORTLAND, March 25. (To the Editor.)
Will you kindly allow the space pub
licly to draw the attention of the Street
Superintendent to the condition of First
street from Madison to Columbia streets?
The business men on this street have en
tered a formal protest with Engineer
Chase, and have drawn his attention to
the fact that the crossings are Impassa
ble, but he turned our appeals aside with
a promise that he does not keep. '
As we are taxpayers, and also pay oc
cupation license as well, we should be en
titled to some consideration, but the City
Engineer does not consider it his duty
to look after the Interests of those who
placed him there for that purpose.
G. COVACH & CO.
SAM MARGULIES.
I. FRIEDMAN.
City Engineer Chase, in reply to the
foregoing, says that he has not Ignored
tho matter of the sidewalks on First
street, between Madison and Columbia,
nor anywhere else, and that he never Ig
nores the requests of property-owners.
It Is the duty of the City & Suburban
Railway Company to repair the cross
walks between the rails and tracks, and
It has been repeatedly requested to do so,
both in writing and verbally; in fact, no
tices have been served within the last
three days, and the company has more
than once promised to attend to the re
pairs at once. The portion of the cross
walks outside of the railway company's
right of way must be paid for by the
property-owners or out of the general
fund.
Mr. Chase will be glad if some one will
devise a method to cause the Street Rail
way Company to respond more promptly
to notices served for the repair of streets
and sidewalks.
