THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, MONDAY, JULY 8, 1901. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Amsements Tonight. CORDRAY'B THEATER-Ctasnmlngs Stock Co, In "Mr. Sncoth., METROPOLITAN THEATER "Down in Egypt." Getting React for Duck Shooting. Sportsmen are already beginning to fig ure on the Fall's duck shooting, although the close season does not expire until September 1. Several shooters -who have preserves rented on. Columbia bottom, Sauvle's Island, Deer Island and other places along the Columbia, have been out looking over their grounds. They find that about the same number of young mallards and wood ducks as usual will be available as "flappers" -when the shoot ing season opens, and that a few teal and -widgeon have been hatched on some of the Islands. Camps will be started on most of the preserves about August 1, and men will be placed on them to feed and protect the young ducks and have them on hand and In good condition for shoot ing September 1. One sportsman, while on Sauvle's Island, witnessed the launching of a whole brood of young wood ducks. As everybody knows, the wood or Sum mer duck, the most beautiful of all the species which frequent this region, builds its nest In trees. It usually finds a suit able place for Its nest In some tree over hanging the water, and when the young are large enough, the old duck gets them Into the water by carrying them down, and if the height Is not too great, by throwing them down. On this occasion the old duck was seen to descend from her nest In a hole in a big oak tree to the water and immediately return. The sportsman concealed himself and saw the old duck bring down one after another of her young ones In her bill until she had a flock of 16 swimming around her, when they all paddled off out of sight. New Prune Packing-House. Fruit growers of this section are much pleased to know that L. B. Clough, of "Vancouver, and Porter Bros., of San Francisco, who are dealers in dried prunes on a large scale, are building large packing-houses In Vancouver. They say that these packers will put up prunes in a style that will commena mem in marKeis aDro&u, uim , win open all these markets to tne prune product of this region. Heretofore the prunes of this section have been handled In a way that has not tended to estab lish a market for them, and that they have found sale abroad at all is attribut able to their intrinsic merits. The prune crop of this section will be very large and fine this season, and it will be great ly to the benefit of growers if it is handled in proper style. The prunes packed at Vancouver by Porter Bros, will be labeled Clark County, "Washington, prunes, and not be packed under a California IaBel, as so many of the prunes grown in this teglon have been in days past. Mayor Not Buying Curiosities. The fact that the Park Commission has been purchasing more bears for the City Park has caused many people to imagine that the Commissioners are desirous of secur ing all kinds of attractions in the way of animals. A day or two since a man, all the way from the upper waters of the Clackamas, called on Mayor Rowe and offered for sale what he called an Italian greyhound. It was a hairless, shivery looking animal, apparently a skeleton cov ered with dingy blue-black leather, not at all handsome or attractive, but as the man assured the Mayor, "a great curios ity." The Mayor regretted that the Board of Park Commissioners had adjourned, also that he had no available funds for the purchase of such curios, and was re luctantly compelled to forego the pleas ure of adding this living skeleton to the collection of animals in the Park. The man asked only $10, which, as he said, was dirt cheap, as the animal was a great rat catcher. Game Near the Boundary. H. "W. GranlE, who has been employed for some time with a party surveying Government lands away up near the boundary line, arrived here a day or two ago. He has been telling stories about the game in that region which have nearly driven some of the Portland sportsmen wild. According to his account, a surveyor In that coun try has to keep his eyes open In order to prevent being run over by deer and mountain sheep, or having his stores and himself devoured by bears. The lakes are ! alive with water fowl, and the prairies covered with grouse and prairie chickens. In surveying they used to run across the nests of these birds, and the old birds would stick -to their eggs till fairly stepped over. The section where all this game is said to be Is about 150 miles from any where, and Mr. Granls thinks it was a mistake putting It where there is no one to shoot it Caused by Too Much Fertilizing. A market gardener In the vicinity of Port land who finds that his crop of cabbages Is about, to be seriously damaged, If not entirely ruined, by maggots, which have attacked the roots, causing club roots, applied to an expert for information as to the cause of this and how to prevent it. After looking into the matter, the expert reported that the maggots are the same as those that sometimes attack on ions, turnips, etc., and that the cause of the trouble is that the ground, having been fertilized too long and too much with only one kind of fertilizer, lacks cer tain properties, which can only be sup planted by other fertilizers. The garden ers in the vicinity of this city use stable manure, principally from horse stables, almost exclusively, and, after a time, this puts the ground In a condition favorable for breeding of the maggots. Delinquent City Taxes. The list of delinquent city taxes on which Council man "W. T. Branch has been employed for several weeks Is now completed. A considerable number of delinquents called during the progress of the work and paid their taxes, but there will be some sur prises for prominent property-owners and merchants when they find that they omit ted to pay their city tax for 1S93. Con siderable acreage property has been al lowed to go delinquent Persons know ing that they are owing delinquent city taxes will consult their own interests by attending to the matter at once. Green "Worm Not Dangerous. Profes sor Cordley writes that the green worm recently sent to him in a California prune by Secretary Lamberson, of the State Horticultural Board, is not dangerous. He writes: "It is one of the green fruit worms, and, while it is difficult to de termine the exact species until the moth appears, X am quite ertain that the same species is already with us. I have nover known the worm to 3o serious Injury other than to gouge a little hole In the side of an apple." Recovering Frox Biood Poisoning, Mrs. P. J. Mann, who has been seriously 111 for three weeks from blood poisoning, Is now, it Is "hoped, out of danger. An abscess which had formed was opened Saturday. This greatly relieved the suf fering, and Mrs. Mann has been improv ing ever since. It will be remembered that Mrs. Mann was assisting In decorat ing the tables for the banquet of the pio neers, when her thumb was punctured by a rose thorn. Blood poisoning set in soon after. Final Meeting. Tonight the executive, finance and auditing committee of the Fourth of July celebration will hold a final meeting at S06 Chamber of Com merce building. Chairmen of the several committees will be expected to render Itemized statements of Indebtedness con-! tracted by their committee. All persons who have won prices should send their names and addresses to C. H. Mclsaac, 308 Chamber of Commerce. The Seaside House will open "Wednes day, July 10, 1901, under the management of Miss Ola M. Stryker. A fine table and the best of service Is promised. This is the oldest and best-known Summer resort on the Northern Coast. Where else does ocean, mountain and river surround such a lovely spot? A place of sweet and pleasant memories. Address the man ager, at Seaside, for all information de sired. Dr. P. S. Iangwortht. dentist, has re moved his dental parlors to Benson, bldg., 291J5 Morrison street, corner Fifth. Chase After a Fugitive. An excited crowd gathered to see a fist fight between two" men early yesterday morning at Third and Yamhill streets, and one of the fighters shouted that the other man had robbed him of his watch and $5 two nights before. "Now that I've met you again Tra going to get even," the vic tim said. The other man sulkily- gave up a watch, and protested that he had spent all his available cash, but the ex planation did not satisfy the man who had been robbed, and the fight started again. This time, however, the map who had given up the watch guessed he had got more than he wanted, and he ran up the Third-street entrance to a lodging house, with the victim of the alleged rob bery in full pursuit. In the confusion the fugitive escaped by he Tamhlll-street entrance of the lodgingthouse and got safely away. He is known to the po lice, and a. search Is now being made for him. The man who had been robbed told the police a story that he had been drugged and robbed, but they have their opinion as to this part of the proposition. New Versions -of an Old Story. The story published a short time ago in The Oregonlan about the native of this state, who, on reaching the regions of bliss, had to be chained to keep him from coming back, has been done over in many styles by the editors of various country papers, none of whom has, however, offered any Information as to the story it has" prob ably been adopted from. Mrs. Ellen Grimshaw, of Kqlamazoo, writes to say that she was happy to learn from the story in The Oregonian, that One man from Kalamazoo had reached the green fields of Eden and was happy there, but she has doubts us to the truthfulness of the statement. She adds that the story was probably paraphrased from one abdut a Boston woman. This woman died, and her husband, who was a spiritualist, called her up. or Tather down, at a seance one night, when the following conversation took place: "Is that you Hainah?" "Yes.'' "Where are you?" "In heaven." "Are you happy?" "Well, yes. tolerably so. but It Isn't Boston." Development of Dairying. The dis play made by the dairymen on the Fourth has given many persons new Ideas , in regard to the development of the dairying business in this region, and the important part it Is hereafter to play In tho'.pros perlty of this state. It is only .a year- or two ago that an agent for Eastern bflt ter manufacturers came out and soldifi hand 560,000 worth of butter to dealers here. Now, with the exception of a little fresh butter sent here from California, when the grass first starts there In the Spring, practically no butter is import ed into Oregon, and prospects are that within a short time Oregon butter will be largely exported. Many are of the opinion that the dairying business will soon be the mainstay of the Willamette Valley. For the July Meeting. The W. C. T. U. city federation will hold its July meeting at Sunnyslde In the Boy3 Bri gade Hall, tomorrow, beginning at 10 A. M. and closing at 4 P. M. The general topic far the day will be, "Our Children." Special features will be addresses from the state president, Mrs. Helen D. Har ford, and Miss Mary McGraw. A general Invitation Is extended.

The socialists met last night In their tent, at East Seventh and Couch streets, to hear a lecture by Charles E. Vail, social econ omist, but the train on which Mr. Vail was expected to arrive was several hours late. Liocal speakers addressed the as semblage. Mr. Vail will speak In Van couver tonight, and in Portland tomorrow and Wednesday nights. Bailey Gatzert, Dalles Route. Lteaves foot of Alder street daily, except Monday, at 7 A.

SMOOTH AT CORDRAY'S Good Comedy Pat on the Boards by the Cammiags Company. "Mr. Smooth," written and made fa mous by Willie ColJIer, was presented at Cordruy's last night by Ralph E'Cura mlngs and his talented company. "Mr. Smooth" is a comedy, in which the lead ing character gets into all kinds of diffi culty by using another man's name to gain the friendship of a rich man. He falls In love with the rich man's daugh ter and confides In her. She keeps his secret, although the real Mr. Smooth ar rives on the. scene and makes trouble. All ends well In the last act the father learns all and forgives, and presumably everybody lives happily ever afterward. Incidentally there are other lovers in the play, and after much tribulation, caused by bashfulness and a lack of ready money, they, too, come out all right. As "Mr, Smooth," Ralph Cummlngs Is a success. He' Is not Willie Collier, nor does he pretend to be; but he acts a difficult comedy part In a highly credit able manner and keeps the audience In roars of laughter most of the time by his up-to-date Impudence and nerve. The support given Mr. Cummlngs was good. Harry F, Cummlngs played the part of Glib, a stuttering and thick-witted valet, to perfection, and his efforts to speak the English language despite his Impedi ment were amusing in the highest de gree. Any comedy of the kind of "Mr. Smooth" is incomplete without an old maid of susceptible affections, and Mrs. Mary Bankson as Angelica Chlllcgh plays that part, and plays it well. h PERSONAL MENTION. Rev. Charles Bayard Mitchell, D. D., of Minneapolis, who has been delighting large audiences at Gladstone Park the past few days, Is the guest of Rev. Dr. and Mrs. C. E. CHne at 709 East Salmon street. Saturday evening Dr. Mitchell baptized a young grandson of his host and hostess. This evening he will re turn, via the Northern Pacific, to the East. State Senator George H. Baker, of Goldendale, Wash., was in the city yester day, having just returned with his family irom a inp to me ran-Amencan exposi tion at Buffalo. It was originally the In tention of Senator Foster to Indorse Sen ator Baker for the position of United .States Marshal for Washington, but after considering the offer, the latter con cluded that his business Interests would not permit of his accepting the position. He accordingly withdrew, and Indorsed Charles B. Hopkins, of Spokane, who Is the candidate of Senator Foster for the position.

GOOD SALE FOR APPLES OREGON CROP SURE OF A MARKET AT PROFITABLE PRICES. Condition !r Other States' Not So Favorable Home Growers Expect a Saccesiifal Season. Reports received from other fruit-growing states by Secretary Lamberson, of the State Horticultural Board, are that the apple crop will not be heavy. Several other varieties of fruit are also having an off year. Oregon crops are as well off as those of any other state, and In better condition than those of many states. The outlook continues to be favorable for a good market for Oregon apples, and grow ers look forward to high prices. The out put of prunes will exceed the capacity of the dryers, and a considerable percentage ;i APPOINTED A LIEUTENANT- IN REGULAR ARMY. ' CAETAIN PERCY WILLIS. i . SALEM, July 7. Captain Percy Willis, who has been designated to be exam ined for a Lleutonahcy in the regular Army, was bom in Gonzales, Tex., 36 years ago. He came to Salem with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Willis, In 1871. He graduated from Willamette University in 1885, with the degree of bachelor of arts, and later received the degree of master of arts. He taught school for sev eral years; and was a prominent dry goods merchant at the outbreak of the Spanish-American War. He left his business to enlist. Captain Willis' military record began In the National Guards. During eight years of service he filled all the position's from private to Major, which latter rank he also received in the Sec ond Regiment, Oregon Volunteers. After the Second Oregon was mustered out, he was commissioned Captain of Company L, Forty-fifth Volunteer Infantry, which position he filled until mustered oat June 3. The veterans of the Second Oregon are warm In their praise of Captain Willis, especially commending his brav-jry when, as" Major, he remained sealed on hlhorso during a fusillade of Filipino bullets, thua inspiring them with courago at a critical time. He was recom mended by Major-General Law ton for a breVet Lieutenant-Colonelcy as a recog nition of meritorious service In the San lsldro campaign. He has a large circle of friends in Salem, who hope- to oee blm secure the Lieutenancy In the regular Army. ( Of the product will surely go to waste. Secretary Lamberson has just received reports from the following states: Rhode Island Professor F. "W. Card, of the Agricultural College, reports "My ob servations regarding the fruit crop this year have not been extensive. Judging Irom the trees in our grounds, and in this vicinity, the fruit crop will be very light. Neither apples nor pears will ex. ceed 10 to SO per cent of a crop. Prunes are not grown here. Plums and cherries alsb promise a light crop. "We had con tinuous cold, rainy weather at blooming time, which interfered with pollination. Then, too, this is our regular off year for apples." Texas C. Falkner, of "Waco, says: ''The fruit crop of our state Is small this year, compared with hist year, and the past few weeks our general average has been reduced by the .prolonged drought ex tending over the great portion of our fruit belt." Vermont F. A. "Waugh, of Burlington, reports: "From personal observation would say that the apple crqp Is about 20 per cent: pears, 60 per cent; plums, 60 per cent. Small fruits are yielding wll." Maine B. Walker McKee, Secretary of the Agricultural Department, Augusta, reports: "The present fruit conditions In our state are not favorable. The leaf roller, canker worm and codling moth are doing much damage in some sections of our state. Pears and prunes are not grown In this state to any extent." Virginia William B. Alwood, of Blacks burg, reports: "The season Is very favor able for plant? diseases. I do not think that prime fruit will make more than 50 per cent Of a crop. Pears may do a little better. We, do not grow prunes." Massachusetts S. L. Maynard, of Am. hurst, reports: "Apple crop will be very Hghtj pears an average; plums abundant. The season Is very backward. Owing to cold, wet weather apples fertilized lm. perfect'ly." Maryland J. G. Harrison, of Berlin, re ports: "The apple crop In tho eastern part of Maryland Is very light I do not think there will be one-tenth of a crop from the present outlook." Kentucky C. W. Matthews, of Lexing ton, reports: "Present condition of apples promises about 75 per cent; peaches, 90 per cent. Pears and prunes are grown but little in this state." New Jersey H. L Budd, of Trenton, re ports: "Apples 33 per cent; Keiffer pears, 75 per cent; peaches, 100 per cent; cher ries, 50 per cent; plums, SO per cent; small f rults, full crop. AH kinds of fruit falling badly, and where not sprayed are badly stung." West Virginia L. C. Corbett reports: "The two crops which are of commercial Importance In this state are apples and peaches. The outlook for peaches is very gratifying, Indeed; there will be from 90 to 93 per cent of a lull crop. Applet will not be so haavy. Some sections report bad condition of trees, and sparse setting of fruit, while others reRort good crops. The average may be placed at 75 per cent." , Georgia G. H. Miller, of Rome, reports: "Peaches are our main commercial crop. In North Georgia wo shall have a full average crop, say 90 per cent. Quite a number of new orchards coming Into bearing for the first time this year, so we shall have a larger crop than usual. In Middle Georgia there will not be to ex ceed one-half a crop, and owing to wet weather peaches are rotting badly. .Ap ples, pears and plums are a light crop wfth Us. Grapes promise a full crop." New Hampshire C. C. Shaw, of MUford, reports: "Summer and Fall apples, 100 per cent; Baldwins, 65 per cent. The state at large will not go over 7f per cent for apples; pears, 80 per cent; small fruits, 85 per cent." Gold No Longer Leads. J Washington Times. There Is no reason why men who are agreed upon other vital Democratic prin ciples should be kept apart by differences upon an Issue that no longer lives. It is not necessary to start out with, tho idea that the Gold Democrats must be accepted as the leaders of the party. They should simply be treated as Democrats, and be given such recognition as the party sees fit to accord to them. This is fair. It Is good politics, and no one should ob ject te "it. t TROUT FOR OREGON. Fish BBd Game Association Stockist Several Streams. The planting of trout In the streams of this State Is being continued by the Oregon Fish and Game Association. Last week 10,000 Eastern brook trout were planted in Cox Creek, Linn County, 12 or 15 miles from Albany. The association still has about 100,000 speckled trout and 20,000 rainbow trout which were hatched at the Government hatchery On the Clack amas. It Is trying to get another lot of eggs "to be hatched in time to be planted this Fall, and the prospects are favorable for securing them. If the commission Is able to keep up the good work It will have the streams of this State pretty well etocked with trout after a while. Its efforts In this line are limited to the in troduction" of trout, having been advised by the United States Fish Commission tvat there Is danger that black bass, If Introduced, might prove destructive to young salmon. The association has gone to large expense in this matter of In troducing trout. Though the Clackamas station hatches the eggs free of expense; it costs a good deal to get the eggs here, and also to distribute the young fish after they are hatched. The association also has topay for caring for and feeding the young fry until they are large enough to plant out, which is when they are from 4 to 5 months old. EAST SIDE NEWS.

Presence of Psrsfta Determined by Chemical AnalysisCountry Arid aadj Rolling:. George Gordon McNamara, the Portland mining engineer, thinks the recently dis covered oil fields In Crook County are far ahead of any other find In Oregon and that wells can be sunk upon them wrth assurance of profitable working. He has just returned from an examination of the district. To a reporter he said: "Pursuant to Instructions, I visited the much-talked-of oil district of Crook Coun ty, and I find . that a number of com panies are acquiring Government lands and leasing considerable tracts, upon which patents have been obtained by the farmers and. stockmen In this district. After spending nearly two weeks Investi gating the country, my deductions are that the indications will amply warrant the expense of sinking wells for petro leum. The oil Indications I found dis tributed over several miles In extent. The country is mainly arid. However, there lsy occasionally found a fairly good growth of' pine and fir timber. "The geological conditions are most In teresting, the country being almost en tirely covered with dlatomaceous forma tion, provlngvconclus!vely that It has, at some period, been an extensive ocean bed., There has been some slight ero sion, probably the result of local gla ciers. The altitude above the sei level Is abqut 8500 feet, and the country (s roll ing, and in some places hilly. The surface Is intersected by numerous narrow gulohes that have eroded their way through the diatoous formation Into beds of argillaceous shale and sandstone, af fording an excellent opportunity to study the -general character of the formation. These beds, as a rule, show no signs of displacement by internal dlstprbances, and the shale found in the ravines- and gulches seem to belong to the "Miocene and Pliocene periods of the Tertiary era, and are, therefore, fosslllferous in their character. In many instances they are .highly charged with different classes of hydro-carbon. The presence of paraffin was determined by chemical analysis. "Asphaltum and other forms of bitu men afe profusely distributed over the entire surface. The asphaltum lies In de tached particles and in small nodules In the flodt rock. In some cases the crop pings of asphaltum are quite extensive, and the indications are that development would prove these beds to be of consid erable commercial value. It might be well to explain that petroleum passes by Insensible gradations into asphaltum, and that the presence of this class of bi tumen on the surface and throughout the underlying shale and sandstone Is prob ably due to petroleum having been forced up through the formation by hydrostatic pressure. "From my examination, I unhesitatingly pronounce the indications the most fa vorable that I have seen In this state for petroleum, and, In my judgment, they compare favorably with Southern Cali fornia districts., with which I am very familiar. In my opinion, this body of Government land lying within the borders of our state, the character of its geologi cal structure being entirely unexplored, P except by fossil-hunters, shows every in dication that It can be developed Into a great oil-producing section. Although considerable of this land has been appro priated by oh companies, there still re mains a number of tracts, which, in my judgment, are even more desirable than the lands already filed on." ADULTERATXDFOOD PRODUCTS Commodities Sapposed to Be Pare New ReqHire Label. ' The efforts of Food Commissioner Bailey to enforce the pure food law have reulted In some revelations which have astonished many people. Retailers who have been handling what they supposed were the best of ground spices, flavoring extracts, etc., have had their eyes opened when manufacturers' agents have come around, and. in order to protect them, have pasted slips On the packages of these -goods showing that they are adul terated 65 to 75 per cent. This is suf ficient to show that there were good reasons for the enactment of the pure food law. Commissioner Bailey is now engaged in getting the vinegar" supply of this State put to rights. He says that cheap acid vinegar Is imported here, to one barrel of which two barrels of water Is added to make three barrels of good, vinegar. This stuff Is enough to burn holes through the stomachs of those who use it, but it Is sour and cheap. Mr. Bailey says that now, when good vinegar can be made from pure cider In a few weeks, there is no rea. son why any one in Oregon should use any except pure., wholesome cider vinegar, and that. In addition to what Is used here, large quantities should be exported. Work Not the Test. Louisville Courier-Journal. So far as discontent In politics Is con cerned, that Is.always to be found In the opposition party, whatever It may happen to be called at a particular time. When a considerable majority of the people are discontented with the party in power a change of administration is apt to fol low. But the division Is not between those who work and those who do not. If It were the workers would always win. President McKlnley's Plain Daty. Philadelphia Ledger.

BIG SMASH I ruin pies Eiiers Piano House Inaug urates a Big Alteration and Clearance Sale Today. The Entire Retail Stock of Nearly Two Hundred Instruments of Most Reliable Make Will Be Closed Out at Almost Half- Prices on Easy Payments A Great Opportunity for Piano Buyers Who Desire to Save Money 'Twill Pay to Come Hundreds of Miles to Visit This Sale Open Evenings. But, in order that no erroneous impres sions may be created, we wish to frankly explain the circumstances that make this step necessary. When, a year Ago, our present sales rooms were completed, we confidently be lieved that they would be amply large enough to accommodate every Increased demand for years lb come. But sinco that time every concern that was endeav oring to compete with Eiiers Piano House, with one single exception, has gone out of business. The resulting increased de mand requires very extensive changes and enlargements of our present wholesale and retail salesrooms and offices. These changes must be made and completed during- the present month. Wlftiin the next 15 days things around this store building will be torn up gener ally, and for this reason alone we want all of our retail goods and a large portion of our wholesale stock out of the way. Then, again, we have just completed our semiannual inventory. We have too many pianos In renting stock.
