CiTY NEWS IN BRIEF
Amusements Tonight.
CORDRA.VS THEATER "The Little Mtnlt
tcr." Upward Tendency in Real Estate.
Benjamin I. Cohen, Trho has lately re
turned JCroxn the East, takes a very cheer
ful view of prospects for the coming- sea
son's business. He says that before he
went away he predicted an advance In
the price of real estate this Spring. He
has returned and Spring has not fairly
begun, but real estate is lively. Prices
have advanced not less than 50 per cent
since September, 189S. More property Is
changing hands as rates grow better, and
for the first time in a long while, Mr.
Cohen's firm has not an empty house on
hanS. The population of Portland 13
rapidly increasing. Practically all pur
chases of real estate are made by people
"Who desire to build homes. Few are buy
ing for speculation. Money is plentiful
and any one who has a good record for
honesty and sobriety can get money to
build. The city Is growing older and in
tegrity is meeting with its rewards. Bank
ers and employers are inclined to favor
men who have established a reputation
for Integrity and such persons can get
accommodation, when others cannot. Mr.
Cohen says people should stop talking
about hard times. "What we want," he
says, "Is cheerfulness and a long pull
and 3 strong pull and a pull altogether.
"We have the makings of a good town
and should utilize them. People are be
ginning to pull together and co-operate
more than ever before. A pleasing evi
dence of this was the treatment of the
Chicago men who visited the city a few
days ago. They were better entertained
here than in any other city on the Coast,
and they have pleasant memories of Port
land and her people in consequence."
Trout Season Opens Today. In view of
the fact that the season for trout fishing
opens this morning. It would be inter
esting to know where the persons who
"boarded the West Side train on the South
ern Pacific, Saturday evening, with Ash
ing rods, reels and huge pocket-flasks,
spent Sunday. Possibly they were going
to look over some favorite stream and
select likely spots ' for fishing today.
There are a number of fishermen in Port,
land who have become infatuated with
fishing for catfish over on. Columbia
Slough and to whom the advent of the
trout fishing season brings no thrill of
joy. They have been out In the slough,
rain or shine, Sunday after Sunday, all
Winter long catching 30 to 40 cats every
'time they go. They say that three or
four years ago they used to catch 125 to
150 a day, hut the cats are not so plenti
ful now. They range from six to nine
inches in length. If a long-shanked hook
is used the fish can be taken off without
trouble, although they come out of the
water with their mouths wide open and
all their "horns" erect and rigid and
as sharp as needles. They are "skun"
on the fishing ground very neatly and ex
peditiously. The skin is split from the
hack fin up to the head and down to
the tall and the tails cut squarely on.
A cut is' then made around the neck
hack of the fins and horns, and the
body pulled away from the head and en
trails. Those who do not know how to
skin catfish find it a troublesome job and
often cut their hands on the sharp
spines. i
Fouxd $1100. An East Side man, who
does jiot care to pose as a paragon of
honesty, found a purse containing $1109
on Third street, Saturday, and restored
it to the owner. He was passing along
the street in the vicinity of Alder when
he noticed a woman start across the
street in a hurry. As she stepped from
the sidewalk he saw her drop a pocket
handkerchief and a purse. He motioned
and called out to her, but she neither
saw nor heard him. He picked up the
purse and handkerchief, and hurried af
ter her, overtaking her after following
a block. She was startled when he
spoke to her, asking her if she had lost
something. She turned deadly pale and
exclaimed, "Yes. I have lost my purse."
"Is this it?" asked the man, at the same
time displaying the purse. "Yes, that is
my purse," she said eagerly, "do you know
it contains 51100?" She took it, and thank
ing him, passed on.
Improving Houjadat Park. The Park
Commission has a number of men thin
ning out and trimming the trees In Holla.
day Park. This park Is between Holladay
avenue and Multnomah street. East Elev
enth and East Thirteenth streets,, and
contains four blocks, with the in
cluded streets. Within the memory of
many Portlanders It was covered with
primeval forest. Since this was cleared
away a new covering of evergreen trees
has grown to a height of 25 or 30 feet.
The trees are crowding each other and
the Park Commission Is attending to the
survival of the fittest by having the least
desirable cut out. A street railway runs
along the north side of the park. As the
park Is a beautiful spot, It will soon be
come the center of a district of fine resi
dences and be a much frequented resort.

Clean the Courtroom. Officials of the
.Municipal Court are hopeful that the po
lice committee of the Council, to which
hag been referred the request to renovate
the courtroom, will recognize that a thorT
ough cleansing of the place Is necessary,
without delay. The courtroom Is an eye
sore. Strips of torn wallpaper hang from
the walls and the floor matting is satur
ated, with disease-breeding microbes. The
furniture is decayed, and the celling Is
in a bad condition.

Kicked Against a Bulkhead. The car
buffers on the terminal grounds are made
of sand piled against a bulkhead. They
prove very serviceable; as' cars "do not'
strike them with a crash, but plow into
them and are stopped by degrees. They
sometimes stop a ear too suddenly, par
ticularly when it is going too fast, as
was the case with a boxcar which an
engine viciously "kicked" down against
one of them the other day. The trucks
plowed Into the sand till they struck the
bulkhead, breaking soae of the timbers,
while the box or body of the car turned
a series of somersaults as gracefully as
a clown in a circus and came down with
a thud. It was funny to see the clumsy
car flying through the air with the great
est of ease, but there was no fun In
getting it back on the trucks again.
Market Block for Market Purposes.
A correspondent inquires how It will
he possible for farmers to get the market
block for a "market-place if the" Legisla
ture passed a law giving it to the Native
Sons, Mexican War Veterans and Free
Library Association for a building site.
The Legislature authorized the Common
Council to deed the market block to the
Native Sons and others "at the discretion
of the Council." It is considered doubtful
whether the Council will use the discre
tionary pawers granted by the Legisla
ture. The farmers, for whose use this
block was donated to the city, have been
deprived of It too long. Everybody would
be glad to see them enjoying the benefits
of it, and thus be kept off the streets
while disposing of their products.
John M. Rodqers Promoted. John M.
Bodgers, who has been employed In the
Internal Revenue office for tho past seven
years, and who has been one of the
most competent and faithful men in the
service, has received well-merited pro
motion. H. C. Dodson has been trans
ferred to the Seattle division and Mr.
Rodgers has been appointed United States
Gauger with headquarters In Portland.
He enters upon the discharge of his new
duties this morning. As his promotion
carries a substantial increase of salary,
he will be congratulated by his man7
friends, among them the reporters, to
whom he has been uniformly obliging
and considerate. -
Monet in Raising: Chickens. People
who put their loose change In Belgian
hares expecting to make fortunes, would
have done better had they Invested In
poultry and gone Into the business of
raising broiler chickens for market. Such
chickens are in great demand and readi
ly sell at 25 cents per pound, live weight,
while Belgian hares weighing five pounds
fetch only 25 cents. A litter of Great
Dane pups was recently sold In Portland
at 550 a head. This seems a large price,
but the whole amount would not pay a
Great Dane's board bill long. Chickens
are more profitable In the end, as the
demand for them at this season is prac
tically unlimited.
Hay - Compressing Plant. The piling
foundation for a warehouse IS being driven
on the east side of North Front street
opposite the O. R. & N. Co.'s freight
house. The building is to be used for
storing hay. It will be equipped with a
compressing plant to prepare hay for ship
ment to the Philippines or elsewhere. The
hay will be delivered from the cars direct
into the warehouse and from the ware
house Into transports or other vessels.
This Is another effort in the line of bring
ing the ships as near to the hay fields as
possible and will make a considerable
saving in the handling of this, bulky
product.
Bids for County Printing. The Coun
ty Commissioners will soon award con
tracts for printing blank books, etc., for
the county. This work amounts to several
thousand dollars a year. It Is understood
that a union printer got up the law re
quiring the work to he done by contract,
and now there Is danger that a non
union printer may secure the contract.
This fact is creating some excitement
among the members of the craft. Here
tofore the work has-been given to union
printers, but it will now have to go to
the lowest bidder, union or otherwise.
Cathedral Class Lecture. The third
lecture In the series on "Art and Travel,"
in connection with .-the Cathedral,, class
of the First Presbyterian Church will
be given tomorrow evening. Dr. Wise
has found it necessary to postpone his
lecture on "An Hour In the Holy Land,"
which was announced for that evening,
and as a substitute the committee has
secured, through the kindness of the Rev.
Alfred Kiimmer, D. D., of San Jose, an
Illustrated lecture entitled, "Paris, the
Beautiful."

GOVERNOR ROGERS ACTS
NAMES .WASHINGTON COMMISSION
FOR THE CENTENNIAL.
Five Prominent Residents of the
Cqlnmbfa River Valley Selected
Governor Taking: Interest.
Governor Rogers has appointed his com
mission for Portland's Lewis and Clark
centennial of 1905 The commission con
sists of Colonel Frank J. Parker, a pio
neer newspaper man of Walla Walla,
Hon. E. M. Rands, a leading lawyer of
Vancouver, and a member of the State
Senate from the Joint district of Clark
and Skamania Counties, Hon. Warren
W. Tolman. of Snokane. a lawyer and a
member of the State Senate, Hon. J, G.
SENATOR J. G. MEGLER, OF WASHINGTON.
APPOINTED BY GOVERNOR ROGERS AS A COMMISSIONER
LAND'S 1005 FAIR.
Megler, a capneryman and a member of
the-State Senate from Wahkiakum Coun
ty, and Hon. George S. Rowan, a lead
ing citizen of Castle Rock, Cowlitz
County.
Under the terms of the concurrent reso
lution adopted by the Washington Leg
islature at Its recent session, the duty
of thte commission is to keep in general
touch with Oregon commissioners, and
to report to the Legislature of 1903. The
commissioner's report will probably em
body a recommendation as to the amount
of the appropriation, which, in the opinion
of the commission, would be advisable to
make In order that Washington shall be
properly represented at the exposition.
Of tho-'cohimisfion, Messrs. Rands and
Tolman are holdover Senators, and will
be members of the next Washington Leg
islature. Their friendship for the ex
position will doubtless result In an ample
appropriation being made. All the mem
bers of the commission are practically
residents of the Columbia River valley,
and will be personally Interested in mak
ing the exposition redound to the ever
lasting good of the whole Northwest.
The proposed centennial has no finer
friend anywhere than Governor Rogers.
He is taking a deep interest in its wel
fare, and in the selection of his com
mission ho took especial pains to ap
point men of like views with himself.
The members of the preliminary organi
zation for the exposition have been in
communication with Governor Rogers, and
he has expressed an ernest desire to
second all their efforts toward making a
success of the project.
COSTA RICA REVOLUTIONS.
Former Portlander GuesMcs Ho Has
Been Through One.
Revolutions are of such freouen ncmr.
rence In Costa Rica that tho American
residents of the -country pay little atten
tion tot them. A letter received from F.
W. Conn by John C. Pendegast, of this
city, yesterday, shows that these political
upheavals, are regarded more in the light
of a joke than anything else. Mr. Conn
Is well known In Portland as a mining
engineer. He -Is now superintendent of
the Tres Amigos (Three Friends) gold
mine, near Puntas Arenas, on the Pacific
Coast of Costa Rica. Under date of
March 13 he writes: ,
"Since you left me I have had a revo
lution, or at least I guess we have, for
the police took all our men for military
duty. As I had a month's ore supply
ahead, it did not give me much trouble,
but when the 'volunteers' learned that
I would not pay until the regular pay day
they showed a decided objection to serv
ing their country and took to the woodB."
The authorities seemed to think that I
hud given them the double cross, but
.they were wrong, for I explained that
under the law they had a right to take
my men, but according to the same law
I was not obliged to pay off until pay
day came around. That the men declined
to fight on empty stomachs was none of
my business, and the 'Jefe Politico' was
wrong when "he. said I did this on pur
pose. He was also wrong when he re
ported me as having told him to go to
h 1. I simply told him to go chase him
self, and I can prove this by witnesses."
Mr. Pendegast, when In Costa Rica last
year, witnessed these conscriptions. He
thinks there Is a comical side to them.
The recruiting officers, with armed
squads run the ""volunteers" In at the
point of the bayonet. The recruits are
then presented with a uniform and com
pelled to drill In the public squares. The
uniform, consists of a cap with a red
band, Jumper and pair of overalls. No
shoes are supplied,, and the soldiers must
go barefooted. The pay Is 80 cents a
day In silver, or about 40 cents In Ameri
can money.
PLEA FOR HOME MISSIONS.
Mr.ii. Lucy Bancroft Robinson Speaks
of Work in Other Fields.
Mrs. Lucy Bancroft Robinson, of De
troit, Mich., a leader in the Deaconess
Society and the. Woman's Home Mission
ary Society of the Methodist Eniscooal
.Church, spoke last night in the Taylor-
Street Methodist Episcopal Church., Home
missions was the subject of her dis
course. She prefaced her appeal for more
earnest missionary work in the North
west with a Brief outline of what is be
ing done in other fields. She discussed
the work being done among the negroes
and poor whites of the South; In the
.Mormon settlements of Utah; among the
Spanish-American settlements of old and
New Mexico, In Chinatown In Ban Fran-J
clsco, and among the Indians of the State
of Washington.
A reception will be given to Mrs. Jane
Bancroft Robinson from 8 to 10 o'clock
tonight at the residence of Rev. H. W.
Kellogg, 221 Eleventh street. .All women
Interested In home missions and their
friends are invited.
BANK CAVED IN.
Seventh-Street Excavation Makes a
Heap of Trouble.
Contractors In charge of the excavation
of the quarter block, on Seventh and Alder
streets are having a time to keep the em
bankment on the adjoining lots from fall
ing in. They began by excavating 50x100
feet on the corner, for the Deady estate,
but the 20-foot bank on the Dolph prop
erty, to the south, began toppling into the
hole they were making, so the two-story
cottage on the Dolph lot was quickly torn
down and the excavation extended so as
to take in this 50x100 feet. By this time a
OF PORT-
bank of s'and from 20 to 25 feet high was
made on the edge of the Hamilton prop
erty, farther south, and as there Is a
three-etory frame building on this lot, ex
tra precaution was used to keep the bank
in place. Whether this can be done until
the concrete wall Is put up. for the foun
dation of the new brick building remains
to be seen.
On the west side, where the bank was
highest, great scantlings were erected and
propped by other long timbers, the lower
ends of which were sunk in the excava
tion. Heavy plank were set In behind the
perpendicular timbers, and Saturday night
when the workmen quit all looked safe
and serene. Yesterday morning, the great
bank of heavy mud and clay was found
to have crushed through the wooden bar
ricade, and heaps of debris were lying in
the excavation. Men worked yesterday to
brace up what bank thefe wafi left, while
the roomers In the Spalding House
watched their back yard slip away from
them.
REPAIRS TO PAVED STREETS
City
Engineer Submit Measure
ments for Estimate.
City Engineer Chase, in accordance with
the Instructions of the Council, has pre
pared an appropriate estimate of the cost
of repairing several paved streets. He
says It Is not practicable to make an exact
estimate, and that contracts for the work
should be based on the following measure
ments: Asphalt streets, Morrison, 430
square yards; Pine, 450 square yards;
Sixth, 50 square yards; Washington, 54
square yards, total, 684 square yards, ut
51 80 per yard, $1231.
Brick pavements, First street, 230 square
yards; Burnside, 200 square yards, total,
450 square yards, at 1 50 per yard, $875.
Wood block pavements, Washington
street, 200 square yards; Yamhill, 50
square yards, total, 250 yards, at $1 per
yard, $250.
The wood block pavement In Fourth
street was not taken 'into consideration,
as It is not worth repairing. A new pave
ment will have to be laid. What klhd
of a pavement, it will be remains to be
decided. If wood Is used again, It will
doubtless be treated With creosote, or
some other preservative.
The Late Benjamin F. Newcomer.
There died at Baltimore, Md., Satur
day, last, one of those men of whom It
may be said that the world is better
because he has lived In It. Benjamin F.
Newcomer was born at Hagorstown, Md.,
about 72 years ago. At the age of 19
he went to Baltimore and entered business
life. Soon after he founded the firm of
Newcomer & Co., his father advancing
him a moderate amount of capital. By
the time he was 22 years old he had paid
back to his father the entire sum ad
vanced, with Interest. His progress
through life was steadily towards suc
cess, and the very highest station in the
regard and respect ot his fellow citizens.
At the time of his death he was president
of the oldest trust company In Baltimore,
and was the valued friend and trusted ad
viser of more widows and orpnanB tnan
any other man in that city. His dis
tinguishing characteristics were a gen
tle courtesy of manner, unfailing tact,
quick decision, faultless judgment, and
most Invincible and steadfast Integrity.
Ho was a man who took no advantage
of those with whom he came In contact.
My last interview with him occurred about
six weeks ago, and true to his lifelong
principles, he then authorized me to ar
range a matter with a citizen of Port
land whom certain persons were trying
to oppress, and who wsh -at once put at
ease by the arrangement which Mr. New
comer authorized me to make. Justice
and Integrity, such were the examples
he has left for those who come after him.
For the encouragement of the rising gen
eration let me state that those charac
teristics resulted in success. At the time
of his death he was one of the wealthiest
men in the State of Maryland. Ho never
wronged a human being of a penny,
he never inflicted pain on any human
heart;; he lived respected and revered;
ho died lamented by a countless host'.

Portland Academy Defeated.
The baseball team of Portland Acad
emy was defeated by 3. James' College,
of Vancouver, at Vancouver Saturday
afternoon The score was 12 to 2. The
Vancouver boys put up a pretty fair
game, especially the pitcher, Gleason.
Harry McDermott, the pitcher of the
Fort Stevens team last year, played a
fine game at first base. The college meh
tried to put him in as pitcher, but Man
ager Smith, of the academy, persuaded
him that he was very much out of his
class when playing virlth schoolboys, and
McDermott went back to first. Williams'
pitching was easy for the St. James'
team, and Stott did not play his usual
gama behind the bat. Stlllman at first,
Johnson at third and Hughes at left
field played good ball. Professor Herd
man, of the academy, relieved Williams,
but did little better, giving several men
bases on balls.
The St. James' team changed Its men
constantly, while the substitution of Pro
fessor Herdman was the only change on
the academy team.
Events on the Golf Links.
The mixed foursomes knock-out tourna
ment was decided Saturday afternoon on

finals of the contest Mr. Glfford and Miss
King defeated Mr. Wheeler with a net

nual Spring tournament of the Victoria
Golf Club. On the Waverly Club links
Wednesday the last qualifying1 round of
the women's competition for the Mrs. J.
W. Ladd cup will be played.
PRINCIPLE' VS. POPULARITY.
Sermon Ty Rev. H. M. Hoyt, at the
First ITnlversnllst Church.
Rev. Hervey H. Hoyt, pastor of the
Universalis .Church, East Eighth and
Couch streets, preached yesterday morn
ing on "Principle Versus Popularity." The
text was. In St. Mark. xl:v. "Blessed be
the King that comethl In the name of
the Lord." Dr. Hoyt said:
"The triumphal entry of Jesus Into
Jerusalem amid the shouts and acclama
tions of the populace marked a thrilling
event In history. Glory and honor were
shdwered upon him, for the people were
hailing their King. It was the time ol
the passover, and the city was full of
strangers, who had come from all parts
of the kingdom. These Jews were In an
expectant state. They were looking for
their King, and when his coming was
announced they rushed to the gate to
welcome and to worship.
"Let us now take another view. Jesus
and his disciples had been at Bethany,
ana early in tho morning when they were
leaving for Jerusalem tho people raised
their joyous cry of 'Hosanna, hosanna.'
The cry passed from mouth to mouth un
til it was like a strain of exquisite music,
and . the skies rebounded with the echo
of the Bound. And then Christ enters the
great city in the manner foretold by
prop'iots. Acclamations of praise and
honor were heard on all sides as he
passed through the throng and entered
the holy temple. Thus Jesus had come
to his own, yet they received him not
in the sense In which he came as a spir
itual King. There were those present who
had witnessed many of tho wonderful
miracles performed by Christ. They had
seen him raise the dead, give sight to
the blind and heal, the sick.
"Friends, think of this incident in con
nection with another which followed soon
after. Tho entry into Jerusalem was
made on Sunday. Later on In the week
we see the same people who had wel
comed Jesus Chrlat lead him to Calvary,
where they cruelly put him to death.
What a transition, what a contrast in the
two 'vivid pictures I Yea, truly he enme
to his own 'and they received him not.
'TIs a sad thought that shouts of cruci
fixion should be raised so soon after the
shouts of hosanna and by tho same peo
ple. But this only goes to show how
easily people are led and how prone they
are to follow the popular side. So over
the flight of centuries We view the same
sacrifice of principle to popularity In
people of the present day. It Is an un
fortunate fact that we would rather join
ourselves with the 'popular movement
than to stand up for the right. It Is so
hard and takes so much strength to stand
for principle that We choose the easier
course. We want to live in the popular
part of town, on the popular street and
attend the popular church. We lend our
interest and give our money to the pop
ular and fashionable charitable scheme,
for It Is so pleasant to go with the multi
tude. Every one has found It hard to
stand alone for the sake of principle;
found It hard to be tme and courageous.
Take a young man, raised In a Christian
home and surrounded by the beautiful in
fluence of the pure home life, for example.
Here he will be true and good, but the
test comes when he leaves these uplifting
Influences and gets into the rough mining
camp or Into the Army or other hard
places. Then he will have to bring his
strength and courage to bear upon all the
temptations which he must meet. In
reading through history you will find that
the men and women who have led in
Christian thought and action have only
accomplished their ends through much
sacrifice and labor. They have stood
alone In the face of popular disfavor. And
so, is it not better to stand alone with
God than to be with the multitude and
be wrong? What do we care for the cry
of the world and the blessings there
from? The plesslngs of thcu world are fleet
ing, but God's blessings last as long as
time shall be. We must stand for prin
ciple and not popularity. Is it right? is
the question for us to ask, and not what
people will say."

WALLA WALLA, March 30. (To the
Editor.) With an amendment or two,
your suggestion of a title for the big fair
to be held In Portland four yeare hence
seems the proper caper. "AMERICAN
PACIFIC EXPOSITION" should. it
seems to me, read "AMERICAN NORTH
PACIFIC EXPOSITION' because there
Is much that is American south of the
United States. The name should be de
scriptive and definitive. As one of some
2,000,000 of men who gave the best years
ot their lives to maintaining the propo
sition, The United States are a Nation,
with a great big N, I emphatically object
to the proclamation you make of the
"EXPANSION OF THB AMERICAN
EMPIRE TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN.''
Make It read eitheT "EXPANSION OF
THE AMERICAN NATION." or "EX
PANSION OF THE UNITED STATES,," J

There Js no better piano than the -Kimball.
No piano can outwear It.
No piano more thoroughly equals the hu
man voice In sweetness, clearness, purity
and power of tone.
This Is the sentiment of the musical pro
fession Itself the judgment and recorded
veruici oi me greaiesc living artists.
There Is no better piano than the Kim
ball. A
There are pianos that sell at a higher
price. There are pianos worth less than
the Kimball that sell at a higher figure.
Why?
Kimball pianos are made in the most
modern and most perfectly equipped piano
factories in the world, and they are made
on a much more extensive scale than
was ever before attempted In the history
of olano-making.
Kimball pianos are sold at a figure close
ly proportioned to the cost of production
In other words, at the actual and absolute
value.
The price of many other makes of pianos
includes a great deal more than their sim
ple excellence and worth.
It Includes extra freights, cartages,
handlings, advertising and merchant's ex
cessive profits.
The purchaser foots these bills.
The price of a Kimball, when bought of
Eilers Piano House, is reasonable, because
It Is simply the factory cost of the piano
plus necessary expenses and a very little
profit.
Eilers Piano House sells more Kimball
pianos than all other Western dealers
combined sell of their best pianos.

Commissioner Bailey Expects
No
Trouble Prom Any Source.
Foqd Commissioner Bailey Is preparing
to put tho new law relating to" the sale
