Close "Watch on Beech-Street Sewer.
Property-owners who are paylnjr some
154,000 for the construction of the Beech
street sower about $50 per lot are de
termined to have a good sewer for their
money. City Engineer Chase Is using his
best endeavors to secure them, a good
job and has a thoroughly competent In
spector on hand to watch the progress of
the work all the time. The property
owners interested also keep a sharp lock
out as the work progresses. As the con
tractors have shown no desire to slight
the work. Engineer Chase says the sewer
will bo one of the best ever constructed
In the city as good as can be made of
bricks and mortar and terra cotta pipe.
To show what a careful watch is kept
on the work by the property-owners, it
may be said that considerable of a
rumpus was raised by them awhile ago
on account of a broken Joint of pipe hav
ing been placed in the sewer. There was
no mistake about the pipe being broken,
for it had been seen as It was being low
ered into the sewer, and the length was
split clear in two. The matter was in
vestigated and It was found that the
"broken" Joint of pipe was the usual
half of a Joint which is placed at
the bottom of manholes to allow the
sewer to be entered for examination, the
manhole being built over it, of brick,
and extending like a chimney to the sur
face. The explanation was perfectly sat
isfactory to the property-owners, who,
however, have not given up keeping a
strict watch on the progress of their
eewer.
Tired of Lira on the Old Home
stead. Many persons consider life in the
country the ideal life, "one is so inde
pendent on a farm, you know." These
persons persist in their delusion, until
they have gone through the experience of
living on a farm, with all the isolation
from society and the eternal and mo
notonous round of duties which are in
separable from life in the country. An
elderly couple, after residing for many
years in Portland, concluded to go on a
farm they owned some 30 miles from
Portland, to end their days In rural fe
licity. Their farm was some distance
from the main line of travel through
that section, and so was rather a lone
some place. A friend from the city vis
ited them a few days ago and found them
enjoying good health and all the com
forts and luxuries a farm affords. He
congratulated them on their good luck
In being so happily situated. The farm
er's "wife said they had everything they
could desire, except society. "I get so
lonesome," said she, "that I actually pine
to see people, and I -would like to go to
Portland and rent a window on Third
street, and just sit In that window and
watch the people pass from now to Christ
mas." If any of the women of Portland
notice an old friend employed In staring
from a show window at the passing peo
p'e, they will understand the meaning of
the strange spectacle.
Improvements in Postoffice. The
postofilce has just been thoroughly reno
vated and some additions are to be made
to the mailing facilities. The money
order, registry departments, the city dis
tribution, and mailing rooms, halls nnd
lobbies have all been cleaned, and the
walls painted in light tints of pale blue,
drab and slate color, with some orna
mental touches, and last of all the post
master's private office was beautified. The
Improvement was sadly needed and the
appearance of the office In general has
been greatly Improved. Another section
is to be added to tho paper distributing
case in the city delivery-room, which will
allow of several old packing cases, long
in use, to be dispensed with. A new and
much larger mailing rack, capable of
holding 124 pouches, is to be installed In
the mailing-room. It will cost SGOO, and
will hold more sacks, than both the old
racks, which it will displace. These new
new racks will add much to the comfort
of the clerks and will facilitate their
work.
Experting "Water Committee's Books.
"W. T. Branch, who was employed by the
"Vater Committee to go over their books
and accounts from the start, in accord
ance with the request of Superintendent
Frank T. Dodge that such an investiga
tion be made, is getting along with the
job as well as could be expected, but
finds that it is a work of considerable
magnitude. There are something over SO
registers of the receipts of money from
water rates alone, all of which have to be
checked up. As the receipts are now get
ting away beyond $20,000 per month, the
checking up of their registers alone in
volves a lot of work. He has gone
through the accounts of the construction
work done slnco the old water company
was bought out. covering the building of
the pipe line to Bull Run, building reser
voirs, etc., all works of considerable mag
nitude and involving the expenditure of
several million dollars. It is not definite
ly known when he will be ready to sub
mit his report
Cabbages Go to Sea. A windrow of big
cabbages, standing on their heads on
the sidewalk on First street, Saturday,
with their stalks Intact and the roots
sprawling in the air, attracted the notice
of many passers. One, who stopped to
ask whj' the stalks and roots had been
left on these cabbages, was Informed that
they were going on board of a ship about
to sail, and that they would keep much
lcnger with the stalks left on them. They
would be hung up by the stalks under the
ship's boats, and in this way would keep
fresh and good for a month or two. Cab
bage is a wholesome but rather coarse
vegetable, largely used in logging camps
and other places where markets are not
accessible and other vegetables cannot
conveniently be procured. After being at
sea a few weeks, cabbage boiled with
salt horse is probably highly relished by
sailors as the only green vegetable ob
tainable Employment Agents "Wrangle. A dis
pute between the rival proprietors of em
ployment agencies was Investigated Sat
urday by Acting Municipal Judge Mc
Devitt, when J. G. Sharpnack was
charged with having threatened to kill
"W. N. ITplingor. The latter's story is that
Sharpnack has a contract to supply lab
orers for a railroad near Bridal "Veil, and
that on one occasion recently he found
out that men sent by another employ
ment agency had filled his men's places.
Sharpnack then called on Uplinger, and
is alleged to have used threats toward
him. Sharpnack furnished $100 ball for
a further hearing, Tuesday. It was
shown that E. P. McCroskey, an employ
ment agent on Morrison street, has no
connection with the present complaint,
For Mbdical Services. Suit has been
filed before Justice of the Peace Kraemer
by J. M. Byan against C. Colfeldt to re
cover $10 50 for Maggie Russell, $15 for
Dr. George F. "Wilson, and $47 50 for Dc
Harry F. McKay for medical services per
formed. In his answer. Colfeldt admits
liability for the two claims first stated,
but Tefusos to pay Dr. McKay's account,
which he says was for medical treat
ment for his daughter, who has since
died.
Lewis and Clark -Medau The loan ex
hibit of the Art Association expects to
add to its collection the very rare Jeffer

was given by him to "W. B. Ayer. who In
turn gave It to the Oregon Historical
Society.

Delay in "Work on Custom-House.
The "new1 Customhouse in this city is
so far advanced toward completion that
It could be ready for occupation ta 60
days, if it were possible to get .the
iron work for tho .staircases. The stand
ing finish is completed and the doors
hung. The floors are being laid in, all
except the lower story; in short, 90 per
cent of the work of construction Is com
pleted. The contractors for the iron work
about the staircases are away behind
with their contract, and this will delay
the completion of the building some lit
tle time. The work as completed so far
is very satisfactory, as Is shown by the
report of an inspector who lately ex
amined it. He pronounced the plastering
in the building as the best in any Gov
ernment building he had examined. It
will be a relief to residents In that vi
cinity when the fences, which have so
long enclosed the building and included
half the streets around It, are taken down
for good, and that part of the city will
be greatly, enlivened, when the building
is occupied by the various Federal offi
cials and employes, who are to be located
there.
"Winter Delays Mining. It is not nec

Death of Mrs. Mary A. "Wilson. Mrs.
James R. Hays, of tho Sterling, received
Vord yesterday that her mother. Mrs.
Mary A. "Wilson, S3 years old, died last
Saturday, at her son's home at Redondo
Beach, CaL, Death was caused by pneu
monia, after an illness of only 'three days.
Mrs. "Wilson was an Oregon pioneer of
1847. She and her husband, Edward A.
"Wilson who died 11 years ago sailed In
the brig Henry from Honolulu to Port
land, and they took up a donation claim
about four miles from Oregon City, In 1847.
Her husband was a well-known contractor
here, and both he and Mrs. "Wilson had
many warm friends among old pioneer
families in this section. Mrs. Wilson is
survived by two sons and five daugh
ters. Bought Short Dozens. "Eggs Is eggs"
these days, and if a man seen sporting
a fine diamond in his scarf, on being
asked how he got It, said he "sold eggs
and buye'd it," there would bo no occa
sion to doubt his veracity. When eggs
are 25 cents a dozen, a man who orders
them expects full count and is not likely
to be satisfied when there Is a shortage
by the excuse put up by a dealer the
other day. "I ordered two dozen of
eggs," remarked an Irate customer, "and
only 20 were delivered." "Well," replied
the dealer, "there were four bad ones
in the two dozen, and I did not suppose1
you would want them." The subsequent
remarks of the 4rate customer are not
worthy of being reproduced.
Many Pay Delinquent Taxes. The
city is still receiving money on the roll
of delinquent taxes from 188S to 1893. Some
days several hundred dollars are paid in.
Persons who are contemplating platting
tracts of land will have to pay all de
linquent taxes before they can have their
plats approved and filed. Many others
are paying up in order to have a clear
title to property they are about to sell.
The time within which these delinquent
taxes may be paid without costs or in
terest expires December 5, and thoso who
fall to pay up by that time will be out
and Injured.
Who Wants a Pair of Moose? Mayor
Rowo Is in receipt of a letter from a per
son In Winnipeg who desires to furnish
a pair of moose for the City Park for
$200. The moose would be a very nice ad
dition to the city's menagerie, but the
Park Commission has more use for $209
than for a pair of moose at present. Per
haps a pair of the city's elks might be
traded for a pair of moose. The elk and
the moose are quite similar, the principal
difference being that the moose has dif
ferent shaped antlers and a much larger
nose, or muffle, as the nose Is called.
Colored Janitor in Trouble. From a
description which they had received, De
tectives Snow and Kerrigan arrested
Harry Jackson, colored, charged with
forcible entry by entering a room window
at the apartment house where he had
been employed as janitor, on Third street,
near Taylor. The police were Informed
that a woman roomer saw a colored man
try to enter her room early yesterday
morning, and from the description she
gave Jackson was arrested. Jackson de
nies the charge.

SCOTCH PILGRIMS HOME
PARTY THAT "WENT TO FOSSIL HAD
A ROAItIN', RAJfTIN TIME.
Under Leadership of Judge Cameron
Visitors Attended Gathering of
Caledonian Clnb.
The Scotch pilgrims from Portland, un
der the efficient chaperonage of Munici
pal Judge Cameron, who Journeyed to
Fossil to take part' in the annual gather
ing of the Fossil Caledonian Club, are
home again, after singing, dancing, pipe
playing and speech-making to their
hearts' content. They say they were re
ceived with the best of hospitality, and
that when any of their number ut
tered the password in Fossil, "Am
Scotch, ye ken," they were Immediately
made one of the family.
Headed by Judge Cameron, the party
consisted of the following: George S.
Shepherd, Piper James. S. Moon, David
Forbes, Harry McArthur, William Ste
venson, Mrs. John Reisacher, and Misses
WHA SPEERED THE WEY
George S. Shepherd.
Rosie Forbes, Myslo and Belle Sharpe,
Nancy Black and Laura Stanton. Tho
tourists were met on tho arrival of tho
train at Shaniko, by Chief William Ret
tle, First Chieftain Duncan Chisholm and
Clansmen William and James S. Stewart.
They were driven in three covered car
riages over the mountain road to An
telope, where supper was served by Fin
ley McBeth, a native of Blair Athole.
After a night's rest the Journey was be
gun Wednesday morning, accompanied by
Host McBeth who bears a marked re
semblance to Admiral Dewey for Fossil,
35 miles distant. At this point the narra
tive is taken up by the scribe of tho
party, who writes as follows:
"The Portland Caledonians will not soon
forget the ride down the seven-mile moun
tain to the John Day River. The hill Is
steep and in some parts somewhat rough,
but the horses were stout, the brakes
good, and the drivers experienced men.
Several times tho girls reached over
head for the car-straps which wero not
there, and now and then a small scream
was heard, but the clansmen rose to the
occasion, and not a single bonnle lass
was permitted to fall out. This drive Is
one of the most cxhiliaratlng in Oregon
and must needs be undertaken to be ap
preciated. Lunch was served by the
ladles of tho party at Clarno's Ferry, the
oldest settlement In this part of the
country.
"The river, being at low ebb, was ford
ed, the water just reaching to the top of
the hackbeds. By holding a foot in each
hand, every one got over dry shod. The
trip from here to Fossil was through one
of the most fertile little valleys In Ore
gonthe Pine Creek Valley. Here hardy
fruits abound, there being 10 miles of
almost continuous orchards. At one of
theso the party was stopped by a hearty
shout from big Charlie Huntley, the
handsome bachelor farmer of Pino Creek
and Gresham, Or., who came out with a
box of appetlrlng apples great red fel
lows, with a flavor such as we Imagine
the historical forbidden fruit must have
possessed.
"When Fossil was reached the party
was enthusiastically welcomed by the
citizens and several hundred Scotchmen
and women from all over Eastern Oregon.
The concert programme commenced at 8
o'clock sharp. There was standing room
only, and precious little of that. And
what a programme It was. Such singing,
speaking, piping, and dancing. Fiom the
time Piper Moon opened the entertain
ment with a martial air, until "Auld
Lang Syne" was sung, the big audience
was in one wave of enjoyment, broken
only by the encores that made the rafters
quake.
"The annual address by Judge Camer
on was an Interesting historical review
of Scotland and Its people from tho
stone age until now.
"The singing and dancing was most en
joyable. In addition to the Portland talent,
Mrs. Kenneth McDonald and Miss Susie
McFarlane sang a duet, which was heart
ily encored, as wero also 'Comln' Thro
the Rye,' by Mrs. John Reisacher, and
the duets by John Nlven and James Stew
art Miss Hattie Hoover, of Fossil, was
accompanist, and performed her duties
with great satisfaction. George S. Shep
herd, of Portland, delivered an address
on 'Scottish Character, and illustrated
Scotch traits with amusing anecdotes. He
received an enthusiastic reception. Jamie
Edwards recited "Tarn o' Shanter,' dressed
In picturesque costume. One of the fea
tures of the occasion was the part taken
by big Duncan Chisholm, of Sherman
County. He weighs 240 pounds, but ho
Is a born dancer, and he tripped oft a reel
as light as a fairy.
"At a business meeting held after the
concert. Chief W. Rettie and Secretary
J. D. McFarlane were unanimously re
elected for another year, in appreciation
of their services. Finally, the entertain
ment was a great success. The hotel ac
commodations of the town were notcqual
to the demand, so the hall where the
dancing took place was kept open until
morning, until there was light enough
to enable the merry-makers to drive
homo to their farms In different parts of
Eastern Oregon."
ORDEAXS OF YOUNG TEACHERS
They Must Study Psychology, So as
to Hit the Right Spot.
Persons who are desirous of becoming
teachers In the public schools of this city
have to go through a rather severe course
in the school of pedagogy after they have
been graduated from the High School.
This school of pedagogy is in session
every Friday, and City Superintendent
RIgler, who conducts It, has always a
class of 18 pupil teachers no more, no
less for as soon as one of the class se
cures a position, one of the large num
ber of applicants In the list takes her
place. At present the class Is studying
the methods of teaching grammar and the
science of psychology. Psychology Is the
science of the human soul, but it Is not
the Immortal soul that Is considered in
pedagogy, but the part of a person in
which consciousness Is located.
The last lesson tho pupil teachers took
In pyschology was on the "Physical
Geography of the Cortex." The cortex is
the gray exterior substance" of the brain,
and the attention of the class- was de
voted to the cerebrum, the anterior and
larger division of the brain, the seat oti
the reasoning faculties and the will,
which it Is the province of a teacher to
look after, cultivate and regulate. Tne
text-book used gave a representation of
the brain, something resembling a map of
Darkest Africa, showing the lbcation and
size of the areas devoted to Vision, speech,
hearing, the motor area, etc. An Ignor
ance of the accurate location of these
areas was the reason why old-time school
teachers so often applied the ruler to the
wrong part of their pupils' heads, and so
failed to stimulate or depress the proper
part of the skull to secure the results de
sired. Teachers well grounded on psychol
ogy will make no mistake of: this kind,
but will always hit the right spot.
BOYCOTT IS CONTINUED.
Itestnurnnt-Kcepers Still Stand Oat
Against "Waiters.
There are no startling changes In the.
situation between the "Walters' Alliance
and the restaurant men of the city. Tho
five restaurants that were excommuni
cated on Saturday were all doing busi
ness yesterday, and the various propri
etors report no scarcity of help. How-
- - - -
TAE FOSSIL.

HMHMMH
ever, there is .no telling Just when or
where tho next tumult will arise, for
tho trouble that Is brewing shows no
signs of speedy settlement. The leaders
of the Walters' Alliance say that they
aro only asking for what Is right -and
Just, and contend that the restaurant men
ought to accede to their demands. More
than 20 restaurant men have signed the
agreement with the Walters' Alliance, but
there are a number who refuse to line up,
and on these the war Is being waged.
A. J. Hall, proprietor of the Palace res
taurant, which was boycotted on Satur
day, was seen yesterday, but declined to
make any statement. Tho proprietors of
the Erie and House's restaurants were
also seen, but they declined to make any
official statement. All three places were
running along as if there were no trouble
at all. There were plenty of waiters to
serve the Sunday dinners, and plenty of
customers to eat them.
R. A. Proudfoot, proprietor of the
Creamerle, said: "INam paying higher
prices than the union demands, but 1
will not sign their agreement unless some
of the unfavorable points aro eliminated.
There are two or three email points which
J do not like, but if these can -be settled
I will willingly sign the agreement, for
I think the union is a good thing. I
hope the affair may be compromised and
settled without calling out the union men.
Sometimes organized Tabor Is apt to go a
little too far. On the other hand, some
of the restaurant men are very pugna
cious. I hope the matter can be settled
without further trouble."
No one seems to know just what Will
happen next. The union men do not say
much about their plans, and most of the
restaurant men prefer to keep their si
lence. If a general strike ensues, there
will be some lively times In and around
the different eating-places of the city.
FIVE "WAITERS IX LUCK.
They Were Given Stock by IVell
Known Rcstnurant Proprietor.
Five waiters in Kruse's restaurant, on
Stark street, are in luck. They have been
given a share in the business with the
proprietor, Theodore Kruse, and the con
cern -will now be known as the Theodore
Kruse Catering "Company. The corporate
stock Is named at $10,000, In 2000 shares of
$5 each.
An Oregonlan reporter saw Theodore
Kruse about the matter yesterday, and
he said: "Yes, It's true; I have given five
of my waiters $500 worth of stock In the
new corporation,, and tho deal was con
summated last Thursday. I have been
thinking over such, an arrangement for
some time, and I hope the chance Is com
ing when I will be enabled to give my
other employes, if they are faithful, also
a share in the business."
"It has been hinted, Mr. Kruse, that you
have formed this co-operative movement
to make employers of these five waiters
of yours, to prevent fha Walters' Alli
ance calling them out on strike," re
marked the reporter.
"Nothing of tho kind," answered Mr.
Kruse, decisively. "At first I intended to
put tho deal into operation at the begin
ning of the new year, as that Is a time
when most business changes are made.
But everything was in fine working order
last week to arrange for the Incorpora
tion of the new company, and I did not
seo why I should wait any, longer. My
Idea all along has been to give certain
employes who have been some time with
me men I know personally, and whom I
can trust a share in my business. I have
wanted thenrto feel that they are a part
of it, and that we aro all working to
gether. I do not wish to look upon them
as mere workers, drawing so much money
for their services. I do not want to make
money-making my only aim In life, and
do not specially want to die a rich man.
I have a strong Inclination to seo happy,
contented people around me In business,
and to feel that we arc workers together.
"It was suoh ideas as these that led me
to form the new corporation. The names
of my waiters to whom I gave the $500
stock are John Kruse, Richard James,
William Hayden, Arthur Underwood and
Charles Sundeleaf. These men have been
with me from 1& to 3 years, and they
hive done good work. I have had no
change In my help for over one year, and
now that the new arrangement has gone
Into effect, I hope we shall not have any
changes for 10 years or more. Of course,
do not Imagine that I will give stock In
the new corporation to any one entering
my employ. Far from it. The employe
must first prove himself, by his ability,
character and work, to be worthy of tho
trust reposed In him. I have every con
fidence that those employes who have
been presented with stock will prove
themselves worthy of what I have done,
and I hope the result will be that they
and the others will so conduct themselves
that work and business will Improve all
round. There ought to be no friction,
only pleasantnees, because the men are
In a measure working for themselves."

CHINESE DEN RAIDED'
POLICE BATTER DOWX SHEATHED
STEEL DOOR.
Caught Twenty Chinamen Wiio "Were
Playing: a. Gambling: Grime Ex
"cltcment in Chinatown. '
Policemen and Chinamen had contests
In different houses along Second street
yesterday, the police trying to find places
where gambling was going on, and the
Chinamen exercising Ingenuity In devis
ing barricades to prevent the police from
entering. When accounts were balanced
late last night, the policemen were win
ners. Twenty Chinamen were arrested at
83 Second street.
During tho night Chlneso carpenters had
strengthened the door leading to a former
gambling-room on Second street, the first
door north from tho engine-house. Ser
geant Church heard of the preparation
made to receive his party, and he went
and critically examined tho door. In tho
presence of a dozen grinning Chinamen.
The front of the door is sheathed In
steel, and back of It are several stout
wooden posts operated by a pulley ar
rangement. The lookout .man has Just to
.pull the string and the posts fall from the
hinge, making a strong, solid wall, on
which only sledge-hammer blows would
be effectual. Different police offi
cials examined the steel door, and they
generally agreed that In a raid the door
would prove a formidable obstacle, but
thought they knew ways to beat it and
at the same time prevent prisoners from
escaping.
"How will we beat that door?" echoed
a police official. "We won't give away
any of our secrets; wait and see."
Last night Sergeant Church and Police
men Sloan, Warner and Howland learned
of a game In progress at 83 Second street,
and on their arrival there they found the
big front door barred. The axes and ham
mers were sent for, and In a few min
utes tho door was battered down. The
Chinese architect who had planned the
labyrinth of passage-ways had fortunate
ly planed only one exit, and not three or
four, as is usually the case In most Chi
nese houses. The consequence was that
the Chinamen Inside were found huddled
together like frightened sheep. Every
trace of gambling in the meantime had, ol
course, been removed, but the inmates
were carted off to the police station, where
they gave these names: Sam Young, Ah
Hay, Ah Gong, Ah Sing. Ah Lee, Ong
Gong, Go Long, Lee Chong, Ah Wing,
Wong Song, LI Hlng. Lee Kong, Sam
Yong, Wee Tong, Lee Ming, Chlng Wong,
Lee Dong, Lee Hang, Wing Chong and
Won Tong.
Ball was promptly furnished by the va
rious Chinese cousins at the rate of 520
each, and the prisoners were released to
appear at the Municipal Court.

Now Is the Time to Get a Good One

Wo- have a surprisingly large number of
very fine used parlor organs that are In
every way as good as new, and which wo
have taken in part payment for new
pianos during the past two or three weeks.
In selling new pianos we are in position
to save customers considerable money,
and for this reason they in turn can af
ford to let us have their old organs In
exchange for little money; thus we can
afford to sell these organs for a great deal
less than their Intrinsic value.
Look at this most massive, solid black
walnut-cased Shoninger organ, which cost
when new $250. It is the handsomest speci
men of American reed organ-building that
has ever come under our notice. No fac
tory produces anything like this at the
present time. It has 19 stops, giving the
fullest range and variety of tone effect.
Including cymbals and chimes. It Is ab
solutely as good as new, perfect In every
way, and If you are looking for a fine
instrument, you will taTce this one for 590,
$10 down and $5 a month.
We have a very fine, rather plain case,
six-octave (regular 5150 style), Kimball
organ In genuine black walnut case, that
has only been used three years, which can
now bo had for J85.
Inere are two Esteys, as good as new,
one of them only a year old, oak case;
two other very fancy cases In walnut,
every bit as good as new, and also a very
choice Mason & Hamlin. These are the
costliest and highest-priced styles pro
duced by these factories, and will go for
SCO, $70 and $78 each, on same' terms as
above.
Then, in the ordinary regular catalogue
styles of used parlor organs-, wo have th&
greatest assortment and at prices ranging
from $10, for a flat-top Mason & Hamlin
td $53 for a fancy, largest-size Sterling
all of them In good, playable condition;
$35 will buy a good second-hand organ,
and some of these marked $25, $2S and $32
are splendid Instruments to learn on.
Any organ less than $50 in price will
be sold at $5 down and $2 or $3 a month;
others $10 down and $5 a month.
Come In and secure one of these instru
ments and give the little daughter a
chance In music. Don't put it off.
