.,..,,.. y ;M OKEUONI MONDAY, J USE 21-, 1001. CiTY NEWS IN BRIEF Aratmcmcnts. CORDRAY'S THEATER-Cummlngs Stock Company In "A Lady of Quality." Home From the Philippines. Quite a number of "boys In blue" and In kahkl suits have been seen on the streets dur ing the past week. They are United States soldiers on their way home from the Philippines. They were brought to San Francisco on a transport and dis charged there, and came through this way by rail on their way to their homes In the East. They are all young men, and, generally speaking, line. Intelligent-looking, upstanding fellows. Some of them ex pressed themselves as satisfied with their experiences and their trip to the Orient as something they will remember with pleas ure the remainder of their lives. Others have "had enough of It," and are glad to get back home, and do not want any more soldiering or life In the tropics In theirs. Some of them will doubtless find their experiences In the service and the knowledge gained of foreign ports of profit, but others have acquired habits and knowledge which will be a detriment to their future welfare or usefulness. As a citizen remarked: "It Is too bad that so many young men should spend several years in the prime of their lives soldier ing, perhaps killing people and acquiring Ideas and habits which they will never get rid of, and which, to say the least, will be of little benefit to them and may be a serious injury." This recalls the old lama, one of the characters In Kipling's story of "Kim," who said to an old Sikh veteran: "What profit in killing men?" to which the old soldier replied: "Very 'little as I know, but if evil men were not now and then slain, this would not be a good world for weaponless dreamers." Museum Frog Turns Cakkibau That Tlty Museum frog seems born to trouble, 'or to trouble others, "as the sparks fly up ward." The pleas for an abatement of his lonesome condition resulted, as stated a week ago, In some one providing a com panion for him. The new frog was about twice the size of the first, but the two appeared to get along In their separate saucers, placed side by side, If not ex actly swimmingly, at least very content edly and amicably. A morning or two ago it was discovered that the small frog had swallowed the large one. The cur ator and Janitor were much surprised, as well they might be, for the swallowing of a frog by another half Its size Is a feat in the way of deglutition which throws the swallowing of Jonah by the whale completely Into the shade. In fact, the little frog Is proportionately as much of a wonder as Jonah would have been had he swallowed the whale. Nobody saw the little frog swallow the big one, but the proof that he did so Is convinc ing. Firstly, the big frog1 disappeared, and secondly, he could not be found In the building, and as he could not have escaped from the building, the small frog must have swallowed him. The frog Is a drawing card at the museum. Every visitor spends more or less time admiring it. but It is not unlikely that Mr. Hawk ins, will In the end be obliged to send it to the menagerie in the park. An Old Salt Escapes Drowning. The fact that a man who has gone down to the sea in ships all his life, and has never felt uneasy for his safety, should. Immediately upon landing on solid ground metaphorically have a narrow escape from drowning, is enough to make one feel like launching his frail bark on any kind of waters for "keeps." Such an un toward accident, which Justifies the ad age that "It Is always the unexpected which happens" occurred to Captain Greg ory, of the Manzanlta, a few days ago. In coming ashore from his vessel he had hardly set foot on the wharf when a rot ten plank gave way under him and he dropped Into the river and went down like a "dipsy-lead." When he rose to the surface his hat had started to escape, and he had to swim after It and recover it before he could be rescued. An incident like this goes to show the reasonableness of the statement that sailors when at sea In a gale, when the wind is blowing the sails out of the bolt-ropes, and things are at their worst, express their pity for the poor beggars on shore, who are In danger of being killed by flying tiles and chimney pots. It might be well for own ers of wharves on which there are rot ten planks to have them replaced by sound ones. Good men are very scarce and not all of them can swim. Joke in the Land of Sunshine. A Portland couple who tired of the cool, showery weather which prevailed at the beginning of the month determined to go to Southern California to enjoy sunshiny weather for a time. They left their um brellas, rubbers and other rainy weather gear at home, not wishing to be Jeered at as "Webfeet" for bringing such things to the land of perpetual sunshine. Just after they reached Los Angeles that city was visited by a terrific xaln storm, a regular cloud burst, and the water ran down the streets even with the tops of the curbs. The Oregon man made the most of the occasion to "get even," and complained bitterly of the rain which was worse than any ever seen In Oregon. The man ostentatiously provided himself with pieces of scantling, which he laid across various pudtales to enable his wife to cross the streets, and husband and wife expressed their disgust with the climate and their longing to get back to Oregon, where there Is fine weather and streets that can be crossed without having to build bridges. They cut their visit short, and left for home before the mud changed to dust, and are feeling happy to think that they got ahead of the everlasting -jnshlners for once. Prune Trees Overloaded With Fruit. -There have been complaints from some irchardlsts In Multnomah County about prunes dropping from the trees, and fears have been expressed that the prune crop would be a failure this season. The contrary, however, appears to be more likely, as In many sections of the state the prune crop will be Immense, and even In this section only a few orchards have suffered by the fruit dropping. Out on the H. E. Battln place on the aBse Line road the prune trees are so heav ily overloaded that W. G. Kerns, who lives there, has been obliged to clip the ends of all the boughs of the trees to prevent them from being broken by the load of fruit. In fact, several of the trees were broken down and ruined before the clip ping of the limbs was commenced. The adjoining orchard is In the same condi tion. Pear trees in these orchards have, however, dropped most of their fruit. Shannah Cummino Tomorrow Shan nah Cummlng's power over her audience is graphically revealed by the various press notices that follow In her wake, of which the following, from the New .York Evening Journal, may be taken as a specimen: "Miss Shannah Cumming, a well-known Brooklynlte, whose social standing Is a high one because of her splendid pedigree, was heard at a concert given by the Brooklyn Institute last Wed nesday evening and carried the house by storm." Miss Cumming Is to be heard at the Marquam tomorrow night, under the auspices of the Musical Club. The programme will begin at 8:30. Shannah Cummino's Programme.

A logger named Johnson, who lias a iogglns camD somewhere near Deen R.ver. away i down the Columbia, was in town Satur day, looking for engines and wire cables to pull the logs cut out to the tramway. He has been using horses for this work, but says He will have to use engines here after, as the bears tear up his skid roads. The grease used In the skids has at tracted bears, which not only lick the skids clean of grease, but dig them out and ruin the road In search of the grease which has been absorbed by the earth. He says the bears pursue their mischiev ous labors chiefly In the night, and he cannot stay up nights to shoot them. Brtan Gets Glad Hand From Tozier. No one need have any fear that W. J. Bryan will run for President again. He has become a full-fledged newspaper man, and attends meetings of editorial associa tions. Albert Tozier telegraphs from Buf falo that on Saturday he had the pleas ure, as President of the National Edi torial Association, of receiving Mr. Bryan at press headquarters. That settles Bry an's political aspirations. When a man has been admitted to the guild of edi tors and Into communion in their associa tion, and realizes fully that he Is one of "those," he Is not likely ever after to hanker for the office of President. Meeting op Episcopal Clergymen. Episcopal clergymen of British Columbia, Washington. Idaho and Oregon will be In session in Portland this week, commenc ing tomorrow.

ENDLESS CHAIN OF SCALPS Klamath County Coyotes Trained to Produce a Regular Income. Hank Jones, an old trapper who passed through Portland some months ago, on his way from Idaho to the Klamath country to engage In the business of extirpating coyotes for the sake of the bounty paid for the scalps of these pesttferous ani mals, arrived here Saturday on his way back to Idaho a very much disgusted man. He said from what he had seen in the Oregon papers In regard to the number of coyote scalps which had been turned in and bounties paid on, he had Imagined that he could make a fortune In the Klamath region In one season. The num. ber of coyotes he saw running over the cattle ranges when he got Into Klamath County encouraged him in his idea, find he hastened to set all his traps. The first night he caught several coyotes, but was astonished to find that only one of them had a scalp. The others were bald headed that Is, like old Uncle Ned. they had no hair on the top of the head In the place where the hair ought to grow. He could not understand this, but said noth ing and went on with his trapping. While ho was In Klamath County he caught dozens of coyotes, about 75 per cent of which were baldheaded, and some had a new scalp partially grown. He finally began to Inquire what was the matter with the coyotes In that section. He found that while the sheepmen were anxious to have the coyotes killed off, and had se cured the passage of the bounty law, the cattlemen wished the coyotes preserved In order that they might kill off the sheep and leave the range grass for the cattle. The cowboys employed by the cattlemen had worked to this end by running down and lassoing coyotes and ripping their scalps off and allowing them to go at large. The coyotes suffered but little from the loss of their scalps, and, find ing that after they had yledded them up they were allowed to frequent the cattle ranges without being molested, and to grow fat on mutton, they soon grasped the situation and began to come In and be scalped when hot weather set in. A new scalp grows on the bald heads in one season, and they all come In once a year to be scalped, and the cowboys are getting rich on bounties, while the num ber of coyotes keeps Increasing. Mr. Jones says that unless the bounty law is repealed every cowboy In that region will be a millionaire and the state will be bankrupt In a few years. If any one doubts this statement, he Is assured that Mr. Jones Is an honest man In fact, he has long been known in that part of Idaho where he resided as "Honest Jones." POPLAR TREES CAUSE DAMAGE Choke Sewers and Drains and Make Expense to the City. Year by year the old poplar trees about the city are becoming more and more of a nuisance, and more and more a cause of damage to sewers and drains. Wil liam Bradcn, who has had charge of re pairs to sewers for many years, added to the collection of curios in the City En gineer's department a few days ago a matted mass of poplar root fibers. He took the material from a nine-inch terra cotta sewer, which It had completely choked, rendering the opening up and clearing out of the sewer necessary. He has been trying for 15 years to get the poplar trees cut down, but many of them are still left, and It keeps two men busy the greater part of the time repairing sewers broken and choked by poplar roots. When the fact that many poplar trees about town which have been gir dled to kill them, are still growing and flourishing was mentioned, Mr. Braden said that was nothing, as poplar wood will send out rootlets and make shift to grow If the ground Is anywhere near them. He says a lot of poplar trees In the back part of town were made Into cordwood and plied up, and that this pile of wood has taken root and is rapidly becoming a poplar grove. A few days ago a large polpar tree In the northern part of town, which looked vigorous and flourishing, but was quite rotten Inside, fell across the street Just as a boy driving an ex press wagon was passing. The tree feu across the horse, pinning him to the ground, breaking the shafts, and scaring the boy out of several years' growth. It took the united efforts, of all the men in the vicinity to raise the tree so that the horse could be pulled from under. It is a foregone conclusion that the city au. thoritlcs will have to take some steps before long to rid the streets of those nuisances of trees, which are costing so much for damages to sewers. FORT CANBX. Are you aware that the United States has one of Its flnest army posts at Fort Canby; also lighthouse of the first-class built on the top of a rock bluff 222 feet above the sea? The O.

WILL Hope of the Goldncckern Return AV.lt b. the Opening of Spring: Recent Strikes. Spring has come at Nome and with Its coming the hopes of the goldseekers who spent the Winter In the North have revived. Writing from Nome on March 5 to Charles E. Oliver, Inspector of the city water works, W. O. Milligan says that of all who rushed to the diggings last year, the lawyers have made the richest strike. The litigation between the lo cators and the claim Jumpers has been their harvest. Of the prospect for this year he says: "Wages for the working man ' In this '' . BENEFACTORS OF OREGON JOHN TYLER. President Tyler assorted the American title to Oregon at the very time when the settlers In the "Willamette Valley were endeavoring to organlre a govern ment which would finally be accepted by the United States. He recommended the establishment of military posts In his annual messages of 1842, 1843 and 1844. In 1843 he declared that the United States had always contended that It was entitled to the entire region between the 42d parallel the southern boundary of the present State of Oregon and 54 degrees and 40 minutes. Speaking of the pioneers who started for Oregon In 1843, he said: "Our laws should also follow them, so modified as the circumstances may seem to require. Under the in fluence of our free system of government, new republics are destined to spring up. at no distant day, on the shores of the Pacific, similar to those existing on this side of the Rocky Mountains, and giving a wider and more extensive spread to the principles of civil and religious liberty." The Democratic war crjg of "54, 40 or fight," was but the stepping-stone between President, Tyler's" vigorous messages and the final settlement of the boundary dispute In favor of the United States. Tha Oregon question was safe In the hands of President Tyler. part of Alaska will be governed by the rates of transportation. If the rates are high, few will come and wages will be high, but if the transportation companies cut prices and hold out Inducements to laborers, the country will be overrun and labor will be cheap. "Around Nome this Winter gold has been found on creek claims that were thought to be worthless last Fall. Of course, they are deep diggings and can only be worked through the Winter. The latest news Is that 200 miners are on their way from Dawson, having heard of the new strikes in the Kougrock and Good Hope districts, where there are many miles of unexplored country. I know sev eral who will try their luck in that coun try as soon as the ice breaks. So far re ports from there have been uncertain as to the extent and richness of the discov eries. As to the Kougrock district, little more Is known now than was known last Fall. A large amount "of work will be done there next season and by next Fall some Idea can be formed of its perma nence as a mining camp. "Teaming between here and Teller City and to the creeks near here Is at a stand still on account of the depth of snow. The Eskimos say that more snow has fallen this Winter than ever before. "The city is quiet and very orderly, un usually so in fact, considering the number of men employed -to preserve order. There Is vlnlrr, tn nmminr tn nnvthlnir. that I have heard of. and the only people It . 7 j 7 j ;. , " , In town who look 111 are the doctors. They have no trouble in collecting bills nnd have nothing to do but stand around and look wise. "Prices of provisions are dropping slow ly and there are goods enough In Nome to last another year." BEST IN AMERICA. Shannah CnmmliiK's Ambition Is Be ins Achieved. Shannah Cummlng's avowed ambition to become the best oratorio soprano and song recltallst in America seems quite possible of achievement, In the light of her rapid advance, says the Concert Goer of February 23, 190L Three years ago Mrs. Cumming went to the West Pres byterian Church in the position made fa mous by Clementine De Vere. It was a difficult place to fill, but she was not found wanting. Just now she has made an agreement to sing for the year com mencing May 1 next at the Dutch Re formed Church In Brooklyn at a salary that is said to be the largest paid any soprano in Greater New York at this time. Mrs. Cummlng's success in concert work is no less marked. She has a voice of unusual range, embracing a compass from G below the staff to E-flat above the "high" C. It is a voice that adapts itself remarkably to either lyric or dra matic singing what might be termed a good "working" voice. This fair singer Is also an accomplished musician, and frequently plays her own accompaniments with Irresistible charm. Shannah Cumming is to be heard un der the auspices of the Musical Club to morrow night at the Marquam. Pro gramme opens at 8:80. WHERE TO DINE TODAY.

A remarkable story of the rescue of a lamb from drowning is told by William Shepard, a prominent sheep dealer of WaBhougal, Wash. The Incident occurred the other day just as a river steamer left The Dalles. The boat was so crowded that In the hurry of casting off and get ting Into mid-stream a lamb was pushed overboard. The lamb Immediately struck out for the bank, but the bleating of the sheep on the boat caused him to obey his instinct to follow the band. The men i -on boara waicnea nis iuuib euurw n overtake the boat and saw him being left farther and farther to the rear, tl was becoming apparent that the lamb was about done for and would soon go to the bottom, when the boat passed a slowly revolving fish-wheel. As the lamb drew near to the wheel the on-lookers noticed that the current was bearing him toward the wheel. The next Instant they were astonished to see the wheel catch the lamb, carry him high out of the water and land him safely In the re ceptacle Intended only for royal Chinook, steelheads and the like.
