Wild Cat Killed Neab CiTr. A genu
ine wild cat, of the variety known as
the "bob cat," was killed last Saturday
on J. W. Buchanan's place, bn Haw
thorne avenue, just east of the city limits.
It was a fine specimen, a full-grown fe
male, about two and one-half feet In
length from tip to tip. Olaf Johnson,
the Buchanan gardener, was at, work tie
lng up the bushes In a raspberry patch,
when three dogs that help him In such
work two cocker spaniels and a fox ter
rier got on the track of the varmint.
As thej are death on cats, they, of course,
tackled It In short order. The cat showed
light, and there was a lively tussle and
lots of spitting, sputtering and yelp
ing. The fur flew and the noses
of the dogs were well scratched,
but three to one was not a fair deal, and
the cat finding that she was getting the
worst of It. took to a tree near-by. The
dogs held her there until Johnson had
time to get his shotgun, when he bought
her down. The fur was in good condi
tion, and Mr. Buchanan has sent the
skin to a taxidermist to be mounted, to
be added to his collection of curiosities.
"Wild cats were common enough in this
section In early days, and still are in
the mountains, but it is seldom that one
of them wanders so close to the city. If
any more put in an appearance at Mr.
Buchanan's place, he will increase the
r umber of his dogs so as to prevent a
decrease In the number of his chickens.
Armory Trees Cut Down.-The county
authorities are having a fine cement side
walk laid around the entire block on
which the Armory stands, and as a pre
liminary have had all the shade trees
around the block removed. This is a fine
improvement, and the Armory looks much
the better for it. In this case probably
no one will complain about the destruc
tion of the beautiful shade trees, which
took so many years to grow to the size
they had attained. The soft maple, so
common on the streets, has luxuriant
foliage, grows rapidly, and when not
marred by being mangled, under the
name of being pruned, makes a handsome
tree. One fault with them Is that they
grow too fast, and soon become larger
than is desirable on narrow streets, and
then they become a nuisance and shortly
disappear. The man who plants such
trees feels an affection for them, which
strengthens with the growth and prevents
him from realizing that they can evon
become a nuisance, and he will protect
them as long as he can. But some day
he must go, and in his place comes a man
who "knew not Joseph," and he grad
ually expends the sum necessary to get
rid of the trees. In parks or spacious
grounds large trees are beautiful, and one
of the most beautiful of all is the English
elm, of which it is said: "It grows for a
hundred years, flourishes for another hun
dred years, and Is a hundred years de
caying." Bictcij: Crazb Dting Out. The bicycle
craze is gradually dying out. Two or
three years ago the Oregon Road Club
would have 20 to 50 members out every
Sunday making century runs, and
hundreds of others would be wheel
ing about the country In all di
rections. It has been found that such
sport Is wearing: that the cost of main
taining a bicycle Is not trifling: and that
the risk of accident to the rider and to
pedestrian is greater than was imagined.
In short, that the game is hardly worth
the candle. Many have hung their bicy
cles on the wall with their deserted harps,
and more only use the noiseless wheel oc
casionally. Not a few have been "all
broke up" by falls from their wheels,
and some have gone where they play on
harps of a thousand strings from the
same cause. Messenger boys will continue
to use them, make life a burden for pe
destrians, and count their slain by the
thousands, but bicycle riding for the fun
of It is a thing of the past. They. will do
for people who are in a hurry, but those
who are in no hurry to get oft the earth
have concluded to keep off them. Had
the craze continued to increase the supply
of rubber would soon have been ex
hausted, and the supply of air would have
"been depleted by the quantity used for
expanding the tires. It does not take
long to find out when one has had enough
of even a good thing.
Suburban Property Booming. Many
people are now making investments In
what has been called outside property,
and thus acquiring at low rates sites for
homes in the future. There Is sale for
lots in almost every locality near the
city now, and on Sundays hundreds of
people go out to the terminus of the var
ious car lines, to St Johns. Woodlawn,
Montavilla. Mount Tabor. Mount Scott,
Woodstock, to investigate the desirabil
ity of these places for homes and the cost
of lots. Many lots have lately changed
hands, which the former owners two or
three years ago Imagined they would
never be able, to sell at any price. People
who have, to live out in the suburbs from
motives o'f economy find that it costs no
more and takes but little lonKer to ride
four or five miles than two or three.
Owners of tracts from LInnton to Pala
tine Hill, and from St Johns to Soil
wood, are looking forward to getting
their money back, perhaps even with In
terest. Enjoted Lite in the North. "Walter
G. Smith, son of C. E. Smith, who went
to Alaska in the Spring of 1900, has re
turned home for the Winter. He has
been mlnlns about 300 miles north of
Nome and is so favorably Impressed with
the country and the opportunities af
forded for making money there that he
will return next Spring. He says there is
no necessity for any one suffering there,
as any time after a storm a man can go
cut on the beach and make $3 to J5 per
day. The Winter Is rather long, but the
dajs are proportionately long, and this
evens things up. After his sojourn in
the northern wilds, Mr. Smith found Nome
with its nice churches and theaters quite
a metropolitan city, and enjoyed his stay
there. He came down to Seattle In a
sailing vessel, and had a pleasant trip.

A Gunner Wejnt a-Gunninq. Many
complaints have recently been received
by the police that gunners have been in
discriminately discharging firearms
around the Peninsula district for sev
eral Sundays past, and Policeman Kal
llch was instructed to lay in watch for
possible offenders yesterday. He caught
one gunner. C. C Carson, at Arbor Lodge.
Carson was locked up and charged with
discharging firearms within the city
limits.

Farmers .Have No Gwuvance. "Far
mers have no reason to think that mer
chants make big profits out of prunes."
said a dealer last week. "Growers get
very low prices, but it is not true that
the profits accruing to dealers are extor
tionate. The fact is that nobody is get
ting much money out of prunes. The
market is dead and there is no chance
to do so. I admit, however, that farmers
have the worst of present low prices.
Farmers think they have a grievance
when they see the very prunes for which
they received, say 3 cents per pound, sold
in the East for 7 cents. This margin pf
four cents does seem big, but it repre
sents the cost of marketing the fruit. An
av?rage carload of prunes weighs about
20,000 pounds. Let us say the dealer who
bought them paid the prunegrower 3
cents per pound. To process, grade and
pack the fruit la 25-pound boxes and to
give the buyer a fair return costs about
$1 50, or three-quarter cent per pound.
The boxes alone cost 148. Shipment of
the prunes to the East costs 1 cent per
pound more. Thus to lay the fruit down
in an Eastern city, such as Chicago, cosl3
4? cents per pound. Eastern dealers are
entitled to one-half cent profit to market
the product and retailers should be al
lowed 1& cents for gelling It to consumers.
Therefore is costs nearly 4 cents per pound
to ship Oregon prunes East and. sell
tjiem. The cost seems large to growers
in comparison with the prices they get
for their prunes. But they can see for
themselves that it is not unreasonable."
Receiving Home Crowded. The Re
ceiving Home of the Boys' and Girls'
Aid Society is becoming quite crowded.
Forty-two children are now on hand,
amoqg wheen are quite a number of boys
aged from 3 to 8 years, also girls from S
to 12 years. A number of commitments
from outside counties afe expected dur
ing the coming week, as on Saturday
Superintendent Gardner made out and for
warded papers to Sherman County for
the commitment of the children of two
families, whom It is alleged are grossly
neglected and abused by their parents.
Others have been sent to Douglas County.
The total number of children Involved Is
ten. On Saturday Manager Cordray in
vited 25 of the larger children to attend
the matinee at his theater. ""Manager
Campbell, of the City & Suburban
Railway, furnished the transportation.
Donations of all kinds are earnestly so
licited and will be promptly called for
by notifying the management at the Re
ceiving Home by Oregon telephone. East 5.
Did Not Escape in Time. The Coroner
held an inquest yesterday over the body
of John Johnson, SO years old, of Ports
mouth, who was killed Saturday by a bank
of earth falling on him while he was en
gaged In digging at a railroad embank
ment. The evidence showed that Johnson
was employed as a jackman, and that
about the middle of last week when a por
tion of a bank of earth fell on him, he
did not move, but seemed to treat the
affair as a joke. Saturday, when the bank
of earth loosened above the gang of men
working below the steam shovel, the men
heard the cry of warning from above, and
they all ran except Johnson. Before ho
could be dragged out he was crushed
and covered by the mass of debris. He
was dead when taken out by the res
cuers 25 minutes afterwards, and it was
found that his neck was "broken. The
Jury found a verdict that the accident
was unavoidable.
Annexation of Mount Tabor. The
subject of annexing Mount Tabor to Port
land still continues to Teceive its full
share of attention at the hands of those
residing in that suburb. A great amount
of argument, both pro and con, is brought
forward, and the question is shown up
in all its phases. The majority of resi
dents seems to be In favor of annexation.
Mount Tabor Thriving. Mount Tabor
property seems to be coming to the front,
and new buildings are beginning to be in
evidence. Several new buildings are be
ing built In jthe neighborhood of Glencoe
Station, and" further upon the mountain
the new residences of Mr. Kay, Mr. Fun.
ston, Mr. Perkins and Mr. Giles are Hear
ing completion.
THREE MEN HELD UP.
Gnrroters Content to Leave Niclc
Mattson His Clothes.
Joseph Labelle was staggering about
Second and Burnsldc streets, yesterday
morning, three sheets' ln the wind, when he
collapsed and fell. Two hobos who were
watching him yeUed: "Help the poor
man an lift him up." One of them did
assist Labelle to his feet by grabbing his
coat and pulling, but no sooner was La
belle erect than he murmured:
"Some son of a sea cook's stolca m'
watch." The hobos fled, and then Ser
geant Church appeared upon the scene,
and from a description received of the
men who acted the Good Samaritan part
to Labelle, he arrested Tim O'Brien.
charged with stealing Labelle's watch.
O'Brien protested that he is being perse
cuted. A man who said he was R. C. Case,
employed by the Honeyman Hardware
Company, called at the police station last
night and stated that he had been held
up by two robbers about 7:15 o'clock at
the east end of the Morrison-street bridge.
Case did not give his address, did not say
if he had lost anything, and the name of
R. C. Case does not appear In the city
directory.
Nick Mattson, who lives ln the Interna
tional Hotel, had a different experience
last night at Ninth and GUsan streets.
He was garroted and robbed, about 6:15
o'clock. He says that as he was
passing a dark corner two men sprang at
him, and that one man passed a "strong
arm" around his neck, while the other
man took from his victim's pockets $1 75
ln money, a watch and chain, a knife and
keys. The robbers did not display fire
arms, , and when they got their plunder
they disappeared.

The committee on selection of grounds
In Lone Fir cemetery reported that Mrs.
Anderson, a large owner, and Byron j
Cardwell. president of Lone Fir Associa
tion, had stated that grounds would e
provided of ample size for the proposed
monument. Captain J. H. McMlllen said
that a plot 50 ,feet square with the
streets would be sufficient space for the
monument. It was agreed to ask for the
plot ln the center of the cemetery to
which the four diagonal streets run.
There was some discussion to whom the
deed should be made. It was moved and
carried that inasmuch as the city was
perpetual, and none of the organizations
are, the deed should be made to the
City of Portland, "to be devoted to the
erection of a soldiers' monument."
The I
same committee was then Instructed to
look after the transfer.
The committee on subscription reported
a form of subscription, which was adopt
ed, and the Citizens' Bank, East Side, and
the United States National, West Side,
were designated as depositories for the
funds of the association.
On motion the following were made spe
cial solicitors of funds: M. L. Pratt, O
J. Ward, George B. Hartmus, J..L. Wells,
A. C. Edmunds, J. H. McMlllen, T. A.
Wood, I. McGowan, J. A. Braden, Tyler

jor George Williams, Captain Edward
Martin, W. C. North, Jacob Deckenbeck,
Dr. C E. Cllne. They will begin their
work after next Wednesday. It will be
decided how payments are to be made by
that time. I
The association then decided by motion I
that the grounds on which the monument j
Is to be erected should be dedicated with
an appropriate ceremony next Memorial ;
day. The corner-stone will then be laid i
or the spot will be dedicated as the site I
of the monument. It was conceded that i
the unveiling of the completed monument
could not be had before the Memorial day
of 1903, owing to the amount of work to
be done.
Professor M. L. Pratt, president of the
association and one of the originators of
the project, asked for the honor of heading
the subscription. This was granted. with
much enthusiasm, and he put down 120.
This was followed by $20 subscrip
tions by Captain J. H. McMlllen and Cap
tain Edward Martin. The association then
adjourned subject to call of the president.
TO OPEN EAST SIDE STREET.
Movement to Extend East Twenty
sixth From Povrell to Stnrk.
An attempt Is being made to open East
Twenty-sixth street, from Division to
East Stark, by "the Clinton Kelly Sub
Board of Trade. A committee from the
board has the matter in charge, and
hopes to have surveys made soon and
some preliminary work done. Between
Division and Powell streets, East Twenty-sixth
Is a county road. It Is proposed
that the city shall assume charge of East I
Twenty-sixth and make a 'street of it. I
Therefore, If the opening of the street
should Be accomplished it would be about
one mile and a half ln length, and would
provide a street making connections with
all the main streets, Powell, Division,
Hawthorne, East Taylor, Belmont and
East Stark, extending west to the Wil
lamette River.
There is easy sailing except between Di- '
vision street and Hawthorne avenue, and
here the land is held in solid tracts and
is mostly under cultivation. Part of the
ground of Walter Burrell's residence now
building on Hawthorne avenue Is In the
street to be opened. To the south there
Is an orchard. The committee proposes
several jogs to avoid obstructions, but
whether objections to cutting through the
tracts between Division street and Haw
thorne avenue can be overcome remains
to be seen. It is evidently a hard propo
sition, but the committee hopes to show j
the owners of tracts that It would be to
their' advantage to permit the street to
be opened. Manager Campbell, of the
City & Suburban Railway Company, in-
formed W. W Bretherton and J, T.
Wilson, of the committee, that the rail
way company would consider East Twon-ty-slxth,
It it be opened, as a possible
route for a branch line, All the possible
benefits will be sHbwn, and urged to property-owners.
LEASING OF HAWTHORNE PARK.
The Commissioner Will Consider
the Matter In Special Blcetlnjj.
It is expected that It will soon bo set
tled whether Hawthorne Park will be
leased by the Park Commissioners, and
thrown open to the publlo. Through the
committees of the sub-boards the consid
eration of leaElng the park for 10 years
or more, with an option to purchase at
the expiration of that time, was pressed
UDon the Commissioners. The latter vis
fc
ited the park and came away delighted'
with Its scenic beauty, ana convinced
that it would be a good thing if it could
be made public. The proposition as far as
made public is that the city shall take
the park for 10 or more years, make such
Improvements as may be required to keep
It In good condition without trouble or
expense to the owners. Rufus Mallory,
who was appointed to examine into the
question as to whether the commission
has power to make such a lease, has been J
In San Frapclsco. He also represents the
East Side Improvement Association in
ON PORTLAND.
Translation.
Concerning the Lewis and
Clark Centennial Celebration
which will take place In 1905, the
proprietors of The Oregonlan, of
- .. viro
virons. Portland is one of the
most important business centers
of the United States and pos
sesses a very fine harbor. The
writer visited Portland several
years ago, and we have to
confess that the town made
the same population in reference
to wealth and commercial Im
portance. But four cities ln the
United States ship more wheat
than Portland. The city ships
more wheat, flour and lumber
than any other city on the Pa
cific Coast, and all these artl
cles are produced ln the vicinity
af the city. Portland is a very
modern city and a metropolis In
the true sense of the word. We
admit that we never expected to
see such a magnificent city be
yond the Rocky Mountains.
A.
--- e
the transaction. The only obstacle to
leasing the park Is the question of
whether the commission has the power
to make the lease, as a majority are said
to be In favor of it. The argument for
the lease is that Hawthorne Is the only
park in Central East Portland. It Is an
nounced that the commissioners will hold
a meeting this week, when the subject
will be taken up and perhaps settled.
EAST SIDE EXPRESS OFFICE.
Bnslnesn Men Protest to Management -
Against Its Removal.
The following protest of business men
will be forwarded to the general man
ager of the Wells, Fargo Express Com
pany, of San Francisco, against removal
of the East Side Express office: x
General Managr Wells. Fargo & Co., San
Francisco, Cal. Dear Sir: It having conw to
our knowledge that you are contemplating
closing your Eaot Side office, we would most
respectfully reauest that you retain the office
Just as It Is, as we would be placed at a great
Inconvenience If It were closed. We have had
this office something near 25 years, and to
close It now would work a hardship on us.
While we hae no desire to dictate to you how
to manage your business, wc feel satisfied you
cannot but see the justice of our protest. The
office gives us good service with the means at
hand. It might be that an extra wagon would
help very much, but that Is a question for you
to decide: but we request that you keep the
office as it now Is. We do not care to have
to spend ojjr time to go to the west side ot
the river to transact our express business. The
postofflce Is here, and would get all -our small
shipments necessarily. The growth of the East
Side Is extraordinary, and the express business
will Increase also. We have favored your com
pany and Pacific Express because they have
an office right at our doors:'

SHALL REV. HOYT ENTER?
QUESTION IS .AGITATING MINISTER
IAL ASSOCIATION.
He I a Unlveranllst Prencher-r-Sentl-xneni
Divided "Whether Unortho
. dox Brother Is Eligible.
Ministerial ranks and church circles are
buazlng over the question: "Shall a Uni
versallst preacher be allowed to enter the
circle of the Mlnlsterlhl'AssoclatlonT" Ax
the last general meeting vof the association
Dr. Alfred Thompson, of the Trinity Meth
odist Church, East Side, moved that Rev.
Hervey Hoyt, pastor of the First Unlver
sallst Church, be admitted to membership.
The motion waa ruled out of order at the
time, but the action has occasioned much
discussion, and at the next regular meet
ing of the association, three weeks from
today, Dr. Thompson will read a lrfiper de
fining his position on that motion. An
other paper will be read by another min
ister who will supposedly take an oppo
site view. Dr. Thompson has received a
letter from Rov. A. A. Hurd, secretary
of the association. Inviting him to read
this paper. Mr. Hurd thus defines what
he thinks the discussion should be:
As some wish this discussed the com
mittee takes this way to have It thorough
ly done. Pastors resident among Us of
evangelical churches seem to have always
been eligible, of course, and as to their
orthodoxy. It seems to have been assumed
that as accredited pastors their churches
and denominations were the responsible
parties, and the association has assumed
the orthodoxy of such pastors. Perhaps
the original idea was that our meetings
should be of pastors exclusively, but If so
I think it has not been adhered to rigidly
In any such way as to exclude ministers
Jn evangelical denominations, such as
those engaged as presiding elders or blsh-opa-at-large,
or ministerial editors and
col ee presidents', though several of these
last are not strictly pastors of local
churches in the city or vicinity, or havo
not been when such have belonged to us
as members. So the question Is broad
enough to cover the whole matter, as to
who, according to their doctrinal belief,
are eligible to membership to our associa
tion, and especially who, If any besides
pastors of evangelical churches resident in
Portland or vicinity. What. is and what
ought to bo the practice of the associa
tion? Please present your answer.
Dr. Thompson, when seen at his home
on the East Side yesterday, said: "I shall
not undertake to discuss the question ex
actly along the lines suggested by Mr.
Hurd, but along the lines of my motion
ln the association. My motion was that
Mr. Hoyt, a Unlversallst minister, be ad
mitted to membership. Now, I shall not
discuss his evangellclsm. I would not
question the evangellclsm of any minister
of the Portland churches of whatever de
nomination. I could freely vote to admit
to membership in the association a Mor
mon, Rabbi Bloch, Dr. Wise, Archbishop
Christie, an Episcopal clergyman or any
minister, and I would not question their
evangellclsm. This association, as I un
derstand it, is general ln Its character. It
does not discuss questions of doctrine, but
rather the good of the people of Portland.
That is what the association is for. If we
enter the domain of doctrinal points we
would certainly go to pieces, for there Is
a difference between Methodism and my
Baptist brothers. There are things ln the
creed of the Presbyterian Church that
Congregationallsts do not approve, and
that Baptists and Methodist do not agree
on. Therefore, I shall not discuss the
question of evangellclsm, but 'Shall the
association admit a Unlversallst minis
ter to membership in the association?'
That wag my motion, and It did not In
volve the evangellclsm of any denomina
tion. I have answered Mr. Hurd, ex
plaining to him what I shall touch
on ln my paper. I do not believe ln a
narrow view ln this matter. To my mind
a denomination that believes in the di
vinity of Jesus Christ is evangelical. The
Unlversallst church does so believe, and
the difference between the doctrines of
the Unlversallst and the Methodist, Bap
tist and Presbyterian Is llttlo more than
that which exists between these latter de
nominations. Why then exclude the Uni
versalis, where the questions of doc
trine are not discussed, and only the good
of the people of the city are considered
ln our association? There will be another
paper from another minister on the same
subject."
Rev. M. M. Bledsoe, Calvary Baptist,
East Side, said: "I am a new member of
the Portland Ministerial Association, but
was present and heard Dr. Thompson's
motion, and was somewhat surprised.
There Is so radical a difference ln the doc
trines of the Unlversallst church and the
other churches represented in the associa
tion that there Is little ln common be
tween them. Especially Is this true be
tween the Unlversallst church and the
Methodist. This, also, exists on the fun
damental doctrine of the hereafter. The
Unlversallsts hold that all human beings
are finally saved, while the Methodists
hold to an altogether different doctrine,
as everybody well knows. Then I can
not understand how Dr. Thompson could
move to admit to membership a minister
who so radically disagrees with him on
so important a doctrine as this."
Rev. J. J. Dalton, D. D., Cumberland
Presbyterian, expressed tho following
view: "I was not present at the lasti
meeting of the association, hut I have
heard of the" motion of Dr. Thompson. I
do not see how it can prevail in the asso
ciation. Somo of my members have men
tioned tho matter to me; but I should not
care to discuss It, as I was not present. I
don't think the association will Indorse
tho motion."
Rev. W. B. Holllngshead, Centenary
Methodist I havo not given the matter
consideration. Of course I heard the mo
tion. It does not concern the personality
of Rev. Mr. Hoyt, of whom all spoke
highly. I am not familiar with the consti
tution of the Portland association, but
other associations draw the line to In
clude orthodox churches, and the Unlver
sallst church has not been so regarded,
although there are several forms of the
church. The matter will come up in three
weeks for discussion.
Dr. McLean, of the Third Presbyterian
Church Tho mission of the evangelical
churches Is to save the world through re
generation. The association is composed
of evangelical churches. The Unlversallst
church does not believe ln regeneration,
nor ln the need of it, for the salvation of
the world; and to admit the Unlversallst
church Into fellowship with the associa
tion mean9 its disintegration.
Rev. W. S. Gilbert said: "Rev. Mr.
Hoyt Is not an evangelical minister, but
I see no reason why he should not be ad
mitted. I think our association ought to
admit al ministers, even Jewish rabbis.
If it is unconstitutional for Mr. Hoyt to
bo admitted, I think that the constitution
ought to be changed so he can join us.
