PORTLANDEIIS XIKE DOLLAR SMOKES.
Few persons know that there Is much de
mand In Portland for cigars at 51 each,
and even when Informed that such Is the
case, the number who will care to Indulge
in this method of the rapid combustion
of money will not be large. A considerable
shipment of large, fine looking and very
fragrant cigars, which sell for 51 each,
was seen passing through the Customs
Appraiser's office a day or two ago. The
contents of each box were crrefully re
moved and weighed, in order that "Uncle
Sam, even If he cannot smoke such
cigars, might not be defrauded out of a
cent of the rather steep duty he charges
on such luxuries. Inquiry at the store
of the dealer to whom these cigars were
consigned elicited the information that
quite a number of 51 cigars are handled
here. "When asked by whom they are
purchased he mentioned first, "young men
about to be married." "When these vic
tims give a farewell party to the tried
and true friends of years, and from whom
they are about to cut loose for ever, no
extravagance Is too great to mark the
occasion, and dollar cigars are the only
fitting accompaniment to the select
brand of champalgnc in which the victim
and his friends drown their grief. The
dollar cigars also come In handy as pres
ents, being articles that can be apcepted
"by persons or officials who have done one
u favor, and who might look upon a pres
ent of any other kind as unacceptable.
The dealer remarked that King Edward
"VII smokes 53 cigars, and always goes
around with his pockets full of them, but
hnsA tn whom hf hands them usually
prefer to use them for bric-a-brac, rather J

Instant death by smoking them.
All, Wanted the Arc Xjght. Part of
the citizens of Midway are having a lot
of fun in a quiet way at the expense of
the others. One of the citizens recently
Duilt a handsome residence in that burg
and near by built a very neat little shed
as a station for the street railway, where
persons find a seat and shelter while
waiting for the cars. Next, at consider
able trouble and with the active assist
ance of Councilman Sherrett, he secured
the location of an arc lamp near this sta
tion for the benefit of persons patroniz
ing the cars, and the residents of that
vicinity generally. It must be pretty well
known to everybody by this time that
the getting of a street lamp moved to
any new location is about one of the
most difficult things imaginable to accom-
these days, and when Midway
almost by a miracle secured one, all
to had labored to this end were happy.
lere was, however, a faction wno
thought the lamp was in the wrong place,
id they decided to have It moved a
block or so "nearer home." They went
to work and put up a little station on the
street railway at the point where they
wanted the lamp located, and made it
even more ornamental than the first. Then
they got up a numerously-signed petition
asking the Board of Public works to
move the lamp. "When the matter came
up before the board Mr. Breyman made a
few rather pointed remarks to the Mid
way delegation, which caused them to
think that they did not want the old
lamp anyway, and since that time the
other faction enjoys its luminosity more
than ever.
Guinea Fowls to Scare Eagles. A
coop of guinea fowls on the sidewalk on
Front street addressed to a cannery on
the Lower Columbia, attracted the atten
tion of a stroller yesterday. He was
anxious to learn what was wanted of
these noisy, silly fowls at a cannery. He
said he had seen specimens of guinea
fowls wherever he had gone, but had
Tiever known of their eggs being eaten
or the fowls themselves being used for
food, or being of use in any way, except
to make a terrible and unpleasant racket.
He was told that they are kept for the
'-fjioise they make, which frightens hawks
away from preying on other fowls. At the
cannery where the coop of them is going,
a number of chickens are kept, and the
bald eagles along the river are going
for them In lively style. The biggest and
oldest and toughest Plymouth Rock roos
ter Is Just a meal for an old bald eagle,
and other chickens are taken two at a
lime, one In each claw. The guinea fowls
are intended to scare the eagles away,
but whether they will be able to do it
or not remains to be seen. The inquirer
said the squawking of the guinea fowls
is enough to scare old Kick "away, and
he was sure it would terrorize the eagles.
Oregon Music at Buffalo. The "Ore
gon "Volunteers" march, composed by
John Boos, of this city, has been played
at the Buffalo Exposition by the band of
the Seventy-fourth Regiment, National
Guard of New York. The march was com
posed while the Oregon volunteers were In
Manila. It was sent by Mr. Boos to
General Summers, and was first played
on the plaza in Manila. The music was
bought and published by N. Hodgson, of
this jbity, who recently sent a copy to
Commissioner H. E. Dosch, at Buffalo,
who writes to Mr. Hodgson that the
march was played on the exposition
grounds and much admired. Mr. Dosch
Bends the programme containing the
march, and says It will be played again.

One of Portland's Garden Spots.
!An Australian, now a resident of Port
land, who has traveled much in his time.
told an Oregonlan man yesterday that the
jjldence section- bounded by Eighteenth,
Pnty-thlrd and Davis and IOvejoy
Etracts, in this city, is one of the pretti
est garden spots imaginable. "The lux
yrlant foliage, the Irish-green lawns, and
the trim hedges make me think of Kent
or Oxford, In England," he said. "The
spot requires an intimate acquaintance to
be thoroughly appreciated. It may not
Strike the careless observer. I have writ
ten about the beauty of this restful place
to friends abroad. I would make only
one suggestion that there ought to be
small fountains in three or four of the
larger lawns."
LOOKOUT "Was Off His Guard. There
was so much noise in a resort on First
street, near Everett, yesterday that Po
licemen Barter, Roberts and Cllnken
beard were sent to raid the place. They
aproached it cautiously, and found it
guarded by a lookout, but on this par
ticular occasion the lookout was Intently
gazing Into the bottom of a beer can,
and he failed to raise the alarm. Six ho
bos were found within In different stages
of intoxication; also Mrs. Annie Stewart,

All Injured in the Right iEte. A
man who had the , misfortune to be in
jured in the right eye a few days age re
paired to an oculist. He found seven, .or
eight persons in the waiting-room wait
ing to be attended to, and noticed thaL
his entrance was greeted by an audible
smile from all, and that, after he had
taken a seat the others had great diffi
culty in restraining their inclination to
laugh. He was much annoyed, imagining
that something peculiar about his dress
or appearance was the cause of the Sup
posed hilarity. He waited till all the pa
tients but one had been disposed of, and
then asked why he had been laughed at.
He was told that just before he came In
they had been laughing because all the
persons In the waiting-room had some
thing the matter with their right eye, and
when he .came in with his right eye "in
a sling," they all felt like roaring with
laughter it the coincidence. "When he
was admitted to the oculist's office he
spoke about the matter, and was told
that it was nothing remarkable, for a
great majority of Injuries to eyes were
to the right eye. This pacified him. One
of the men who had an eye removed be
cause it was sightless, and, as he imag
ined, unsightly, has been sorry ever since,
as he finds the glass eye put in its place
an uncomfortable nuisance. "What makes
him feel worse It the fact that the sight
less eye did not pain him in any way,
and his only reason for having it removed
was to improve his appearance. He now
sees with his other eye that 'Hooks" is
not everything.
Strange Species of Grass. Specimens
of a strange kind of grass found by a
Mr. Dimick on his place near Hubbard
have been sent to this city for identifica
tion. Everdlng & Farrell, to whom the
grass was sent, have been dealing in
hay of all kinds for years, but have never
seen anything like the sample, and M. W.
Gorman, who is well up in the botany
of this region, pronounces It a foreign
plant. The samples are about three feet
In height, the stem and blades being much
like those of timothy or orchard grass,
but the head Is much longer and heavier
than In either of these, being about 10 to
12 inches in length. The little "branches"
composing the head lie close along the
stalk, and have a pretty and peculiar
appearance, as if each was a little fern,
and they give the impression that when
ripe they would be loaded with seed like
a head of millet. The grass sent was ap
parently about ready to bloom, so not
much of an Idea of what it would look
like when ripe can be formed, but it Is
a promising looking plant, which may
become a valuable addition to the grasses
of Oregon. There Is only a small patch,
of It, and a few scattered clumps on Mr.
DImick's place. He has no Idea where
it came from, but hopes to find out what
it Is and in the meantime will save some
seed and give the strange plant a trial
and see what will come of It.
"Use for Old Rubber. The sight In a
Front-street warehouse of 25 tons of old
rubber packed in bales for shipment East,
and several men busy sorting and pack
ing a lot more, recalls the fact that in
these days rubber Is more extensively
used in the arts, and that the known
forests of rubber trees are said to be in
progress of rapid exhaustion. The old
rubber consists principally of boots and
shoes, but any old thing made in whole
or in part of rubb.er is collected by per
sons in every mining camp, logging
camp, fishing station, or other place where
rubber in any form Is used. The articles
of this kind of least value is rubber hose,
as it is composed principally of canvas.
Every old shoe, boot or other article
collected is examined before being
packed, and all nails, tacks, wire or metal
of any kind extracted. On reaching the
factory in the East, where the stuff is
worked over, the whole assortment is
ground up as fine as possible and the
powder melted and manipulated until all
the rubber In it Is extracted, when It Is
mixed with a proportion of new rubber
and is ready to be made into new boots,
shoes, eta The value of an old pair of
boots or shoes or old mackintosh is
trifling, but the vast amount of old rubber
collected all over the country amounts in
the aggregate to a large sum.
Crueltt to Dogs. Many persons who
have seen men gaily careering along on
their bicycles at the rate of "steen"
miles per hour with a fallthful but ex
hausted dog following far behind, have
felt that the Humane Society ought to
take notice of such cases. In England
this has been done, and the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
has remonstrated with cyclists for inflict
ing torture on dogs by taking them out
on excursions at high speed. The poor
dogs suffer terribly In hot weather. Cy
clists appear to think that as dogs ac
company them when on horseback there
Is no cruelty in their running after the
steel steed. It is urged in behalf of the
dog that there is no sort of a parallel. The
horseman walks his steed from time to
time, and the dog gets a chance to rest,
but the clcyllst does not slow down. It
is alleged that the women are the worst
offenders, as "they race their dogs five
or six miles, which Is enough to kill a
dog which has been overfed as women's
dogs habitually are." A thoughtful and
kind-hearted man or woman, going out
for a spin on a bicycle, will leave the
dog at home.
Not in the "Way of Traffic The
large scale for weighing truck loads of
grain, etc, which has been put in place
In front of Johnson's mill, on Front street,
near Alder, does not appear to be the ob
struction to traffic that many predicted
it would be. From the time the Council
granted permission for the installation of
the scale, many of the teamsters and
business men along that part of Front
street have been anxious to see "how
about one - third of that narrow
street could be occupied by a
platform scale without Interfering with
traffic. Now that the scale Is In opera
tion, It seems easy enough. The platform
Is raised to a level with the curb, and the
stone block pavement sloped up around
it, so that no one except he who has
business with the scale has any desire
to drive over it, and it does not take up
so much of the street as many suppose
it would.
At the T. "W. C. A. Twenty-six mem
bers of the Monday Musical Club, under
the leadership of Mrs. E. S. Miller, gave
to those present at the Young Women's
Christian Association rooms yesterday
afternoon a rare treat In the rendering
of several choice numbers. The blend
ing of the voices and the harmony of the
music showed to advantage In the selec
tion, "Nearer, My God to Thee," and in
the tender melody of the third number,
"No Evil Shall Befall Thee." Miss Er
mine Hubbard, the chorister of the Sun
day afternoon services, gave a clear ex
position of the topic, "Why Should Chrls
tions Sing." The service next Sunday
will be of a patriotic nature.
Two Soldiers Robbed. Frank Jan
owskl and J. Crowley, two returned sol
diers, started to see life In Whitechapel
yesterday with' a net capital of 560, owned
by JanowskL He gave 510 to Crowley,
and shortly afterward both men com
plained to the police that they had been
robbed. Policeman Barter arrested
Frances Woolrldge and Laura Cox for the
larceny of the money, and detained Jan
owski and Crowley as witnesses.

Successful Letter-Carriers' Excur
sion. The third annual excursion of the
Portland branch of the National Associa
tion of Letter-Carriers, took place yester
day, and was the largest and most suc
cessful yet given. The first was to Hood
River, and last year's to Seaside, and that
was so satisfactory that Seaside was
chosen again this year. Thirty cars left
the Union Station at 8 o'clock yesterday
morning, carrying nearly 2000 people, and
running In three sections. Sales of tick
ets wero stopped before the demand was
supplied, because the limit of the ca
pacity of the cars was reached. The
train arrived at Seaside at 1 P. M., and
the people strolled on the beach, watched
the bathers, and ate lunches until 5
o'clock, when the return trip was begun.
The trains arrived in Portland at 10
o'clock, everything having gone smooth

JAMES MONROE.
The principle laid down In the famous Monroe Doctrine was asserted with re
sard to the Oreson country before It found Its way Jnto President Monroe's
message. In September, 1821, the Emperor of Rrasia Issued a ukase by which
he sought to establish Russia's claim to the northwest coast of North America
down to 4he 51st degree. In July, 1823, Adams, who was Monroe's Secretary of
Sta'te, declared to Baron Tuyll, the Russian Minister, that "we should content
the right of Russia to any territorial establishment on this continent, and that
we should assume distinctly the principle that the American continents are no
longer subjects for any new European colonial establishments." This was Ave
months before the formal promulgation of what is now universally known as the
Monroe Dostrlne. In his annual message of December 7, 1824. President Monroe
said: "In looking to -the Interests which the United States have on the Pacific
Ocean and on the Western coast of thUr continent, the propriety of establishing
a military post at the mouth of the Columbia River or at some- other point in
that quarter within our acknowledged limits, is submitted to the consideration of
Consresa. Our commerce and fisheries on that sea and along the coast.have much
Increased and are increasing. It Is thouEht that a military post, to which our
ships of war micht resort, would afford srotectlon to every interest, and have a
tendency to conciliate the tribes to the Northwest, with whom our trade is ex
tensive. It is thought, also, that by the establishment of such a po3t ths inter
course between our "Western States and territories and the Pacific, and our trade
with tribes residing in the interior on each side of the Rocky Mountains would
be essentially promoted. To carry this object into effect the appropriation of an
adequate sum to authorize the employment of a frigate, with an ofllcer of the
corps of engineers, to explore the mouth of the Columbia River and the coast con
tiguous thereto, to enable the Executive to make such establishment at the
most suitable point, is recommended to Congress."
the day will probably reach a sum be
tween $400 and $500, which goes Into the
treasury of the letter-carriers' organiza
tion. Requiem Mass. Requiem Mass will be
celebrated at St. Laurence's Church,
Third and Sherman streets, at 9 o'clock
this morning for P. Hughes, father of
Rev. John C. Hughes, rector of the
church. There will be special music.

CITY COUNCIL TO ELECT
WILL FILL VACANCY CAUSED BY
DEATH OF MR. NICHOLS.
Frank A. Nickols, Son of the Late
CoHncllman, and John C. Jame
son Mentioned for Place.
The death of Councilman A. F. Nichols,
of the Tenth Ward, creates a vacancy that
will be filled by the Council. Frank A.
Nichols, son of the late member, has
been mentioned. J. P. Menefee said yes
terday that ho first spoke of Mr. Nichols,
but since then there has developed a
strong sentiment in favor of ex-Councilman
John C. Jameson. F. A. Bailey is the
member of the Republican Central Com
mittee from that part of the city, but
he could not be reached yesterday, and
It Is not known what recommendation, If
any, he will make. There will be no con
test between Mr. Jameson and Mr. Nich
ols. The latter has gone East. It would
probably be pleasing to him if the Coun
cil should select him to succeed his fath
er. He is a successful business man, and
if elected will serve the ward and the
city well. The same may be said of Mr.
Jameson, who was In the Council from
1S98 to 1500. He retired last Spring to be
a candidate for County Recorder.
The body of Mr. Nichols will be brought
to Portland for burial. Yesterday morn
ing Frank A. Nichols, his son, of Lower
Alblna, received a telegram to this effect,
and has started East to meet his mother.
POINTER FOR COUNTRY HOTELS
Tliey Should Sprncc Up if They Wish
the Good "Will of Travelers.
The ears of the keepers of a great many
of the hotels in the country towns
and villages In Oregon, must have
been burning last evening, while a
little knot of commercial travel
ers were comparing notes, and dis
cussing the good and bad points of such
hotels. The "Knights of the grip" go
everywhere, and consequently have large
experience with all sorts of hotels and
hotel people, and they are qualified to
express opinions on such matters. They
do not expect to find a Hotel Portland
in a country town, nor city styles of
cooking In a country village, and the
honest praise bestowed on some village
hostelry where they find clean beds and
food which, If plain. Is well cooked, and
served by tidy maids On a cleanly spread
and appointed table, would make the ob
jects of these laudatory remarks blush
with pride. There are, however, hotels of
some pretensions where such a thing as
clean bed linen appears to be unknown,
and where, while the table Is as well sup
plied as could be expected, the cooking Is
abominable. The towels and wash basins
are never clean and the horrible con
dition of sinks, etc., evidences total neg
lect of all sanitary laws and regula
tions. The Ch-egonlan has been requested to
take notice of these' shortcomings of hotel
men, and offer some suggestions as to
how. the conditions can be bettered, as.
In times like the present, when small
pox is abroad, traveling people are more
likely to contract the disease and spread
the contagion through sleeping in unclean
beds, than In any other way. It would
not be In good form to name the hotels
In various places where the disagreeable
and unwholesome conditions complained of
prevail, nor is it necessary to do so, as
the people who keep such places probably
do not realize It. They have been used
to such conditions in their eating and
sleeping arrangements all their lives, and
do not realize that any one could object
to them or expect them to be different.
The fact Is that there are a great many
people who do not know how to "keep
a hotel," anfl. some of these, too many,
have In some way got Into the hotel bus
iness. It might b& well to have a state
board of hotel commissioners appointed,
to inspect all hotels and examine all de
sirous of keeping a hotel or being em
ployed about one, as to their qualifica
tions, their knowledge of cooking, of
housekeeping, of sanitation and sanitary
matters in short, In regard to all the
qualifications hotel keepers and em
ployes should pdssess. There are boards
of commissioners to look after barbers
and bootblacks, and many other things
of much less importance In regard to the
"health and comfort of the public tJian
hotels and hotel keeping".
-In conclusion it may be said for the
information of the hotel man who em
ploys lazy or careless or slovenly or Ig
norant help, and whose kitchen, beds and
sanitary Arrangements are a standing
menace to the comfort and health of the
traveling public, that they need not im
agine that the unfitness for their position
Is hid under a bushel, forlt is proclaimed
abroad by all who have suffered from It,
-while the hotel, however humble, which
Is cleanly and decently kept, and where
guests can eat and sleep without fear of
being poisoned, will have its praises sung
by every traveler.
MAY GO TO UNIVERSITY PARK
Electric Line Part of tne Catliolic
School Deal.
The double tracks being laid on Wil
liams and Killingsworth avenues are com
pleted to the corner of Killingsworth
avenue. From the intersection of Kil
lingsworth and Williams avenues the
grading Is being pushed to Ockley Green,
the end of the new route. Killingsworth
avenue Is not improved, and It has to
be graded before the tracks can be laid.
Big stumps have been taken out. It is
expected that the new line will be fin
ished to Ockley Green and the new junc
tion established there by August 1. Now
that the Catholics have secured posses
sion of the Portland University and will
open a school there In September, It is
said that the railway will be electrified
to University Park. Archlbishop Christie
made it a condition in taking the property
that the line should be electrified that
far.
PATRONS OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
Steady Increase of Interest Since
Book Circulation Was Began.
There has been a steady increase in
the interest taken in the Public Library,
since the circulation of books was begun
in January. The book circulation In Jan
uary was 1660; February, 1832; March,
22S9; April, 2183; May. 2281. The figures for
June have not yet been compiled. The
attendance In January was 7112; February,
5993; March, 5775; April, 5259; May, 5022.
Patrons of the library, those who take out
cards, furnish references and take the
books to their homes, have steadily in
creased In number. These figures will
show how this department is progressing:
January. 707; February, 949; March, 1136;
April. 1376; May, 1487; June, 1575.
The library thus far has been supported
by voluntary subscription. There are
nearly 3000 books on the shelves.

THE VOICE OF THE YOSE
Introductory Display of Another
Great Boston Piano at
Eilers Piano House.
Many a beautiful piano, many a master
piece of the piano-maker's craft, has
been brought to the great West and sold
hy Eilers Piano House. So closely, in
fact, has Eilers Piano House been identi
fied with the sale of the very choices!!
and most costly instruments that the pub
lic expects as a matter of course to find
here dozens of specially fine pianos where
other large houses display but one; and
It musf, Indeed, be a large shipment of
most exceptional beauty to cause more
than passing 'comment here.
We are confident, however, that the
shipment of the 1901 sample styles of the
Vose pianos, now far-famed, which will
be displayed at our retail salesrooms
Tuesday morning will arouse a great deal
of enthusiasm. Space forbids detailed de
scription of each sample style at this
time. We hope, however, that every mu
sician and music-lover who Is interested
in the latest development of high-class
American pianos may inspect these beau
tiful Instruments. And If you would pur
chase a piano that represents everything
that Is reliable and desirable in construc
tion and tone quality, combined with most
rare and unique architectural beauty of
case design and finish, we cannot recom
mend one of these eleganf new Vose pi
anos too highly. See them Tuesday at
Eilers Piano House, In the New Music
block, entrance 351 Washington street,
.Portland, ur.

VASELINE XO GOOD FOR HAIR.
Dandruff Germ Thrives In It, as Well
cm in All Grease.
A "well-known Chicago hair specialist In
vited the Inter Ocean reporter to come to
his office and see, under a microscope,
how the germ that causes dandruff,
thrives In vaseline. Tho specialist said
that all hair preparations containing
grease, simply furnish food for the germs
and help to propagate them. The only
way to cure dandruff is to destroy the
germs, and the only hair preparation that
will do that Is Newbro's Herplclde. "De
stroy the cause, you remove the effect."
Without dandruff no falling hair, no bald
ness. Ask for Herplclde. It Is the only
destroyer of the dandruff germ.
