Bob bins, of the First Bank of Sumpter, has returned from a trip to Colorado, where he went with J. H. Raley, of Pendleton, to Investigate certain oil lands that the Archuleta Company, of which he is presi dent, controls. Mr. Bobbins said of his trip: "I found all the Indications favor able for oil. The seepages on our prop erty are large, and the samples analyzed indicate that it contains about 58 per cent of illuminating oil. 15 of naptha, and about 25 of asphaltum and residues. There Is a spring on the land from which oil seeps forth at the rate of about five gal lons a day. The formation of the coun try is also favorable to the finding of oil, toeing composed of sandstone and shales. Our company, of which Hugh McGulre Is vice-president, J. H. Hawley, secretary, and T. 2C. Steppenbach treasurer, controls SOO acres of land In the district, and a well will be put down as soon as possi ble." Portland's "Vertical "Writing. The exhibits prepared for the Buffalo Expo sition by the pupils of the various public schools, were bocd up and shipped yes terday. They filled quite a large case, and made a heavy package. City Super intendent Rlgler expresses himself as per fectly satisfied with the exhibits, the work on which he says is excellent. He added: "Thoe who think that the vertical sys tem of writing Is Inferior to the slanting 2 think would be convinced of their error If they had seen the penmanship on these exihibits." "When asked if he thought the exhibits from the Portland schools would attract attention among all the other ex hibits at the fair, Mr. Bigler said: "They always have. The exhibit sent to Omaha tvas never returned never a piece of it came back. It was all begged or borrowed by teachers of other cities, presumably to toe used as patterns, which must be con sidered as complimentary to our schools." Eggs, But Not the Same. Three little boys, Paul Jones, William Thompson and X.eroy Masson, were before Municipal Judge Cameron yesterday, charged with stealing 19 eggs from Fred Dunke, a farmer. The Judge asked the boys why they stole the eggs. "To eat them," re plied one of the boys, In an astonished tone. '"Don't you boys set eggs to eat at home?" queried the Judge. "Yes, but they are not the same," replied the boy. After hearing further evidence, the case was taken -under advisement. "Work "Well, in Hand. About 100 men are now employed on the Interior of the new Custom-House, and the contractors think the building will be ready for fur nishing by January 1, 1902, although they have until March of that year to com plete the work. The plumbing connec tions have all been made in the lower part of the building; the electric light wiring is well on toward completion, and the heating system is about all finished, with the exception of placing the radi ators in position, which will not be done until the plastering has been completed. "Will Stop at the Falls. To give tourists and other passengers an oppor tunity to catch a glimpse of Multnomah Falls, commencing with today the O. R. & N. Co. will inaugurate the system form erly In vogue of stopping all trains at the falls. The stop will be short, so as not to lose time or to permit the travelers to stray away far from the train, but -will give them, ample time to view the scenery of which It is Impossible to get a satisfactory Impression from a train going at full speed. Collecting Historic Material. The Native Daughters are adding to their numbers, and considerable Interest Is man ifested in collecting material for Ore gon history- A historical sketch is read toy one or more members every meeting, -and much valuable history Is being col lected in this way.

Three trains per day arrive and depart over the O. R. & N., Northern Pacific and Southern Pacific Company's lines, two trains on the "West Side and two to, As toria, and on every one of these trains are postal railway cars and clerks. A closed pouch mall service to Mount Ta bor postofflce three times dally, and the same service to Montavilla twice dally will be commenced on the electric cars of the City & Suburban Railway Company on the 15th. There has been complaint from merchants for a long time on account of letters for "Vancouver, B. C, leaving here at 11:30 P. M. not reaching Vancouver until 5 P. M. of the second day, Instead of the next day, as they ought. This de lay of a day is caused by some absurd regulation of the Canadian Postal De partment, requiring the malls for "Van couver to be fumigated at the boundary line. This order was made a year ago, and. although there is no necessity for it. Is still in force, and the mails get across the boundary through a terrible stench. If the United States postal authorities would kick up a stink about this unneces sary delay, It might put a stop to it. Most Agreeable Change. The delight ful Spring day yesterday, taken together with the fine Easter Sunday, confirmed the report of the local "Weather Bureau officials that the storm that had been sweeping over Oregon had vanished over the mountains without leaving even a gust of wind or a drop of rain to trace its course. While it lasted it was re sponsible for a steady downpour and high gusty winds whose disappearance only heightens the effect of the clear, bright, sunshiny days that the Weather Bureau Is promising to dispense for an interim. The storm that has just passed swept In from the ocean last Thursday, and slowly advanced to the eastward. It was ac companied by a wind that registered 38 miles an hour, and carried enough moist ure to deposit 1.25 Inches of rain In the three days that it flourished. The clear weather of the last two days, however, has been accompanied by light frosts, striking the whole Pacific Coast, from Ta coma down to Sacramento. So much snow has been deposited on the foothills by the recent rains that the warm weather is almost certain to cause a thaw and a small river freshet If it continues. Strange Case op Drowning. Seized with a sudden attack of dizziness or ill ness, Albert Edward Elliott, 18 years old, employed by the North Pacific Lumber Company, fell into the Willamette River yesterday, near Sherlock avenue, and was drowned. He was working among lum ber which was floating at a wharf when one of his companions saw him slip off a log and fall into about four feet of water. Several men rushed to help him, and they almost expected Elliott to arise from the shallow pool himself, but were surprised to find him lying white and unconscious. He had been in the water only about one-half minute, according to an eye witness. For over an hour men worked with him, trying to resuscitate him, but without avail. Elliott had been employed by the company for about six weeks, and was much liked. He lived with his parents at 556 Union avenue, and was born in Canada. The Coroner will investigate the strange case today. Resumed Work. The fine weather yes terday put new life in people and every thing, and work that has been delayed by storms was started up In many places. The conservative fruit trees, which have been waiting for settled weather, were pushing forth their blossoms yesterday, and twittering of swallows was heard and the first "bumble bee" of the season was seen sunning himself on a sidewalk. The contractors resumed operations on the Improvement of Main street, from Third to Fourth, around the Thompson foun tain. The stone blocks for paving "this bit of street are piled at each end of the block. They have all been dressed, and look much better than the rough blocks which used to be laid on the streets, and when they are properly laid on a concrete foundation and well grputed with cement, they will make a good and lasting pavement. St. Mark's Parish Election. The an riua! meeting of -St Mark's parish was held in the chapel last evening, when the following vestrymen were elected: Fred erick Townsend, Henry Wade, R. W. Hastings, T. William Baxter, C. H. Chandler, George C. Nicholson, J. K. Kol lock, Alfred Bingham and W. H. Boot The treasurer's report showed a balance of J244 01 cash on hand and all running expenses paid up to date. A year and a half ago, when the treasurer was called on for a statement of the financial af fairs of the parish, he showed net liabil ities amounting to $559. After the parish meeting the rector called a meeting of the new vestry when the following officers were elected to serve for the year: Fred erick Townsend, senior warden; Henry Wade, junior warden; R. W. Hastings, treasurer; T. Mllllam Baxter, clerk of the parish. In Hard Duck. Ambrose Soucie, a hard working laboring man, willing to turn his hand to any kind of work In or der to earn an honest dollar, was yester day obliged to apply for admission to the County Hospital. Some time ago his left hand was caught in a sling while he was working at unloading a vessel, and the flesh stripped off two fingers. Next an abcess or ulcer formed on his jaw, which has pained him so that he could not eat or sleep. He has become very emaciated and weak, and much against his will, for he Is an American, he has had to ap ply for assistance from the county. Standing in Dine. People who have licenses to pay are aware that tomorrow Is the last day of grace allpwed, and yes terday they were standing In line at the wicket in the City Treasurer's office pay ing over their money and getting receipts with which to secure their licenses. A few corporations are still holding off from paying their occupation tax, but people generally who have occupations have con cluded that it must be paid and are coming in and paying their licenses without any trouble, which makes things much more pleasant for the license officers. Several Men Aided. Fulton residents are still talking of the admirable be havior of Dr. A. H. Johnson, who saved his life and that of Mrs. Johnson by clinging to a projecting beam while a train passed over a trestle last Sunday. Three men who helped to rescue Dr. and Mrs. Johnson from their perilous position are: George F. Barden. 271 College street, and John Abbot and Emll Waggoner, of 809 Second street. They think the train crew should have stopped the" train af ter the trestle was pased, to see if they could have been of any. help. American-Born Chinese. The Associa tion of American-Born Chinese In this city has 90 members, and Is in a flour ishing condition. At the annual meeting a day or two ago, the following officers were elected: Seld Back, Jr., grand presi dent; Moy Bon Wing, vice-president; Dee Poy, recording secretary; Dee S. Sue, financial secretary. The association is preparing to turn out in style when Presi dent McKlnley visits this city. For' Dease. Gambrlnus Garden, for picnics or six months' season.

There Is a fair prospect that the strike of the Brewers Union on all Portland breweries will be amicably adjusted with in the next few days. Yesterday after noon G. Pierce, of San Francisco, repre senting the American Federation of Da bor, and A. R. Andree, also of San Fran cisco, representing the National Union of Brewery Workmen, held a conference with the employing brewers, and dis cussed all the points of difference. It was stated after the meetlrig was over that an agreement on all the material points involved in the controversy seemed possible, although there was some differ ence of opinion on minor points. Another meeting will be held this morning, and it Is the hope of all parties concerned that a settlement may then be reached. Until the settlement is reached, both parties to the conference decline to dis cuss the basis upon which a settlement will be made, both saying, however, that It will be satisfactory to all parties con cerned. Testerday morning Paul Wesslnger. rep resenting, the employing brewers, ap peared before the trustees of the Cham ber of Commerce, at a special meeting, and requested that .body to appoint a committee to arbitrate the differences between the brewers and the strikers. There was considerable discussion of the matter, and the trustees finally stated that they would consent to appoint an arbitration committee in case both sides were willing to abide by its decision. Mr. Wesslnger stated that the employing brewers were entirely willing to do so. W. R. Winter, who seems to be the moving spirit among the strikers, stated to an Oregonian reporter later in the day that the union under no circum stances would consent to abide by any decision of the Chamber of Commerce, or a committee appointed by it. "We really think," said Mr. Winter, "that there Is nothing to "arbitrate, but any agreement which Is made must be made by the brewers themselves with our representatives. We could not agree to lay our grievances before any commer cial bodys" Subsequently, however, the two labor representatives went Into conference with the employing brewers, and at the con clusion of their session, the statement' was given out that the outlook was fa vorable for a settlement. WANT A RAILROAD. Harney Connty Comes Up Agnin TVitb. the Old. Demand. ' C. F. McKlnney," a business man of Burns. Harney County, Is registered at the Imperial. Hp thinks Southeastern Or egon is sadly In need of railway commu nication with Portland, and that unless exertions are made to extend a branch of the O. R. & N. Into that region very soon, the trade of Harney, Southern Mal heur and Dake Counties will be perma nently diverted to San Francisco, as prep arations are being made to extend the California & Oregon line northward into Oregon. "Burns now does most of its trading with Portland," he said yesterday, "as we find it more convenient to haul our goods over the 150-mile wagon road to Ontario or Huntington; but should a rail road come in from the south, this trade would be transferred to the merchants of San Francisco. We prefer to remain with. Portland, as we naturally prefer to deal In our own state; but something should, be dona , in the -way of rail con nection with the north." Mr. -McKlnney had a rough time riding over from Burns to Ontario, on this oc casion. The stage, a two-horse affair, had five passengers aboard, one of whom was a crazy man, being brought to the Insane asylum at Salem. On the moun tains the snow is just turning into slush, so that it is neither comfortable sleighing nor wheeling, and a balky horse com pelled the passengers to alight on Stlnk lngwater hlll.fr The team was unhitched and left in charge of the insane patient, while the other four passengers and the driver hauled the stage up the muddy hill by hand. The fare, $10, he does not think extortionate for the 150-mlle stage ride, but the privilege of walking up the steep hills, and putting his shoulder to the wheel, Mr. McKi: ney d.oes not appreciate. Money is plentiful In Harney County now, he said, as stock of all kinds bring good prices. The Winter has not been severe on cattle, sheep and horses, and the various bands have been brought through in fine condition. A large propor tion of the county has been monopolized for pasture and-madow by two large Cal ifornia corporations, the Pacific Dlvestock Company and the French-Glenn Company, but there Is still considerable land open to settlement by farmers. The plains of Harney Valley, which were recently con sidered too dry to produce grain without irrigation, are now being- sown to rye, to a considerable extent, with good prospects of a paying crop. Messrs. Devlns, Wel come & Bird, who brought a traction en gine over the road' from Portland last Fall, are using it to pull sagebrush and plow the sod of a large area they have taken up under the desert land act. As water is known to exist at depths vary ing from six to fifteen feet on these lands, wells will be dug at intervals and the engine used to pump for irrigating the sown fields, if necessary. Although Harney County Is largely pop ulated -with stockmen, the citizens are not opposed to having the county tapped by a railroad. The reason for this is that the stockowners generally have title to their ranches, and so the advent of farmers consequent upon ine construction of the road-would make no difference to those already located there. There is a general desire on the part of the people for closer connection with Portland, and this sentiment overrides any fears of the county being changed from a stockgrow ing to a farming region. COMING ATTRACTIONS. "The Little Minister." Charles Frohman will offer theater-goers a great treat Friday and Saturday nights, April 12 and 13, with a special matinee Saturday, at the Marquam Grand, when he will present the comedy, "The Little Minister," adapted by J. M. Barrie from his famous and popular novel of that name. Undoubtedly this play holds the record for phenomenal business. The engagement in New York extended over a period of 300 nights, and played to houses at every performance that packed the theater to the doors. It was only taken off to give the company a muqh-needed rest. Since the comedy was sent on the road, the business it did In New York has been repeated wherever it has been seen. The Boston engagement was most remarkable. It was necessary to give ex tra matinees at the Hollis-Street Theater during its run there, In order to accom modate the people desirous of seeing the play. Great care has been used In the selection of the company. Its presenta tion here will be in every respect a per fect one, and, Is sure to be greeted by a splendid audience. The sale of seats will open tomorrow (Wednesday) morning, at 10 tf clock. e i i FREE CONCERT AND EXHIBIT OF PRIZES. Commencing this afternoon at 2:S0, the Musicians' Association will give a series of free orchestral concerts, afternoon and evening, for the balance of the week, at 113 Third street, near Washington, and also display for the Inspection of the pub lic the long list of valuable and useful prizes to be distributed to the patrons of the Carnival, on Saturday evening next, at the Exposition hall. Every purchaser of an admission ticket will have a chance to win one of the many prizes that will be disposed of, among which Is an upright cabinet grand piano, worth ?250; a splen did Singer sewing machine, worth $75; bicycles, a Mitchell and a Rambler; and many others, too numerous to mention here, but to be seen at the place of ex hibition.

Everything existing In this universe was created for a purpose. Nature gives us in the vegetable kingdom healing and disease-curing herbs. Many of these, how ever, are very poisonous, and it requires great care and knowledge for their suc cessful administration. But the greatest boon given to suffering humanity Is of fered in the healing and disease-eradicating mineral' waters, oozing -out of Mother Earth. . Be it here said that the Witter Springs water, from Lake County, Cal., excels all others in Its composition for all kidney and bladder troubles, such as catarrh, in flammation, gravel, rheumatism, gout, etc. For all skin diseases and syphilis. In all its stages, it has no equal. F. J. Hellen, No. 130 Fifth street, sole agent for Oregon. A BEAUTIFUL FACE, A few treatments will give It. Oriental Beauty Parlors. 340 Washington.

This successful system of healing Is based upon the proposition that man's body is a machine, and that pain and disease are simply the creaking and ab normal product of the running of the disordered mechanism, needing a skillful machinist to put them in order.

They form a charmingly orig inal group, and one that has met with the most favorable criticism of experts. They were gathered with infinite taste and care, and in great profusion; so that we make the statement advisedly their equal as a collection is not to be found in Portland. . Children's hats were never prettier nor daintier than they are this season. The prevailing effect is soft and fluffy soft Tuscan straw forms the brims of many, ribbon bows and rosettes, with bunches of roses or field-flowers, form (he trimmings. Much of the charm of these hats is due to the fact that the bodies, or untrimmed hats, are styles exclusively ours. Attractive tco are the more elaborate Paris hats included in the collection.
