Newspaper Page TextTHE MOKNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MA 21, 1901. X CITY NEWS IN BRIEF CORDRAYS THEATER-Chas. Erin Verner Co., presenting "Arrah Na Pogue." High Schooi. -Alumni. Rosy cheeked maidens and stalwart young men grad uates attended a pleasant? meeting of the High School alumni last -night, and talked over amendments to the constitution, which will he acted upon a.t the regular meeting June 3, on the occasion of the re ception to the June graduating class and the election of officers. Notice of these proposed amendments was given: That at alumni receptions, invitations shall be strictly confined to members of the asso ciation, except the High School faculty. Board of School Directors, prominent edu cators, and wives and husbands of mem bers; that outside guests at Teceptions shall be asked to jmy SO cents admission, Instead of 51, as formerly; that at future receptions the offices of historian, poet, orator, and prophet will be dispensed with; that 75 per cent of each 55 paid by life members of the association snail be applied.to the creation of a sinking fund. It was suggested also that part of the proceeds of this sinking fund might be set aside for clubrooms, but this proposal w?jj not fully discussed. On the sugges tion of several members, it was agreed that all members of the association will unite in devising the means of entertain ment at the reception to the next gradu ating class. Crane Hiia. Heronrt Deserted. The extensive heronry, which existed for years, perhaps for ages, on the hills back of Holbrook's station, on lands of Philo Holbrook, known as "Crane's Hill," has been deserted. Owing to the wanton shooting of the herons by persons posted on the line of their flight from tine sloughs along the Columbia and on Sauvie's Island to their nests, the birds have emigrated to a secluded place several miles farther back on the hills. It was wanton cruelty to kill these harmless birds, which played a useful part in catfchlng frogs and carp to feed their young. There used to be an immense heronry out on Rocky Butte, a few miles from this city. The country thereabout was then densely wooded and few traveled through Jt. Those who heard the clamor of the herons and t'helr young imagined that there was a herd of bears about the butte, and many years ago some of the old set tlers got up a party to go out" to slaugh ter a few hundred bears. They were so badly ecared by the awful noises they heard that they turned back. The her- onry, the herons, the dense timber and even the men who went out after t'ne bears, have all passed away, and only the barren rocky butte remains. PORTIAND JL FJLOWER GARDEN. A great many beautiful flowering ehrubs and trees are in bloom in the gardens about town. Some of "them are rare, and of some the names cannot be ascertained, as they came from all parts of the world. Among the most showy arc the rhododendrons, which are found in many brilliant colors. A very beautiful tree full of clusters of blossoms is to be seen at the corner of Crosby and Halsey streets, a little north from the east end of the steel bridge. It is called Polona Imperial, and came from a florist in Rochester, N. Y. It Is worth going some distance to see. Hawthorn trees, red, white and pink, are in full bloom and load "the air with fragrance. There seems to have been much pains taken by some one years ago to Import rare and beautiful flowering trees and shrubs, and they are still flourishing. As so many such trees and shrubs thrive here, Portland might be made one of the most beautiful cities in the country if pains were taken to Import desirable ones. Examination op Barbers. The exami nation of the probationary barbers who have been shaving under permits from the Board of Barber Commission for the past six months, took place at the office of Sam Howard, chairman of the board, yester day. A large number of the novitiates were in attendance, and most of them succeeded in passing and securing certi ficates. There was a great strapping of razors and lathering of faces and stubby beards were cut down like grain in har vest time. Several of the candidates were laid over to be given another chance, and one or two were sent down to the foot of the class to make a fresh start. A spectator who watched the pro ceedings at the examination with great interest stated that he had been shaving with the same man for 40 years, and had scarcely ever got away without being cut. "When asked why he did not discharge his barber he said he shaved himself. Cascade Locks Closed. The June flood of the Columbia is now on and the locks at the Cascades are closed, and the Bailey Gatzert on her return from The Dalles Sunday evening was necessarily tied up until the water falls. It Is thought that this will not be long as the Snake River is reported to be falling. Hot weather and warm rains have prevailed for the past two weeks in the country about the sources of Che Columbia, a rather unusual condition of affairs in that region so early In the season. It is said that there Is not an excessive amount of snow in the mountains forming the water shed of the Columbia and it is thought possible that the "June rise" may have reached Its greatest height already. The probability Is that the locks will be in op eration In a few days. Condition of the Rivers. Tempera tures yesterday morning over the TJpper Columbia and the Snake River .basins ranged between 32 degrees and 3S degrees. Moderately heavy rains have fallen at the headwaters of the Columbia River. The cool weather has caused a temporary check In the rise of the Snake River, and the rise In the Upper Columbia will be checked todaj. A gauge reading of 19.0 feet will be reached at Portland at noon to day, when the river will remain nearly on a stand tomorrow and Thursday. The river at The Dalles will remain on a stand today and probably fall slightly tomor row. Deputies to Collect Bicrcra Tax. Dan J. McGill, C. A McCabe. A Nunn, G. B. Perell. J. P. Bloch. Clyde T. Ryan, Alonzo Perkins, Penumbra Kelly, F. Sherlock, S. J. Werthelmer, and J. T. O'Nell were yesterday appointed Dep uty Sheriffs to be stationed at bicycle paths, and collect bicycle tax. They will be supplied with tags, and for the present wheels will not be seized. Confident of Onffrot's Success. George T. Myers, who returned yester day from San Francisco, Is confident that R. Onffroy's proposed combine of Pacific Coast canneries will be successful. Ho J satisfied that Mr. Onffroy has the Pu get Sound canneries and the majority of those in Alaska, and will put the deal through without the Alaska Packers' As sociation's plants.

Wooden Sidewalks in-Bad Condition. 'Numerous complaints- continue .to be made in Tegard to the condition at wood en sidewalks in all parts of the city. A property-owner "who never puts down any more of these wooden walks said yes terday that many people tare frightened irom considering tne construction or ce ment sidewalks by their mistaken idea in regard to the cost. As a matter of fact, said he, cement sidewalks cost only about half as much again es wooden ones. The actual figures are 10 cents a square foot for cement sidewalks, and 33 cents a running foot for cement curbs, so that a walk which Is 6 feet wide for an inside lot would cost $27, and the curb $16 50. When It is considered that a con crete walk will last 50 years or more, and the life of a wooden walk is not over six or eight years it will be" easlly'seen what an. advantage concrete has over "wood. Wooden walks are unhealthy, as well as unsightly, and are, moreover, provocative of profanity, especially when loose boards fly up and trip pedestrians. Fire Ordinances Being Codified. The yarius ordinances relating to the Are de partment are being printed In a pamphlet which will contain 125 pages. There are 25 or 30 ordinances of this kind in all, from the general ordinance regulating the stringing of wires, trimming of trees, for the more effective protection from fires, excluding certain blocks from the Are -Chairman Miles Makenq Cojootobbs. Chairman Mills, of the Charter Commts. eion, is at work on the standing commit tees of the board. With such a -wealth of -timber and talenf at his disposal, he finds it somewhat difficult to arrange the committees so as to get the right men in the right place, have everything harmo nious, and secure the best results. He hopes to accomplish this some time this week. He has decided that the 11th and last committee of the list, revision- and codification, shall consist principally or entirely of lawyers, of which there are quite a number oa the board. Probably, if .there were more committees t6 appoint his work would be lightened, as, for in stance, he could select a committee on talking and oratorical display without any trouble. He Carried Brass Knuckles. Peter Smith, colored, and his white wife were JLn the Municipal Court, yesterday, charged with being drunk. The additional charge of throwing a lamp through a window at S7 North Second street was lodged against Peter. Mrs. Smith held a hand kerchief against her left eye, and when the handkerchief was removed by the court officer, It was seen that her eye was severely bruised. "Who struck you? asked Municipal Judge Cameron. Mrs. Smith answered, "Nobody." On being pressed for the truth, she reluctantly ad mitted that her hu&band had assaulted THE MUSICAL CLUB .
