Prize of 525 to Teachers. The John
Burroughs Society held a meeting at the
Unitarian Church last night, at which an
offer of 525 from an unknown friend was
unanimously accepted, the idea of the
giver being to award It to the teacher of
the eighth grade whose pupils shall have
the highest average In the contest for the
prize offered by Mrs. Burrell for the best
composition on birds. Colonel I. L.
Hawkins said that out of the 59 pairs- of
nightingales imported here a few months
ago, only three birds remain. All that had
survived the long journey had been put
Into one big cage at the cemetery, where
the strong birds had fought the weaker
ones, their sharp bills proving a formid
able weapon. Charles Pfluger has now the
only pair, which he succeeded in rescuing
a few days ago. Colonel Hawkins also
reported that some strawberry finches had
been given to the City Park. They are
pretty bird.", red, specked with white, and
are imported from Japan. Mr. Nicholas,
a member of the John Burroughs Club,
Is preparing a list of the birds that fre
quent the park for the annual report of
the Park Commission, which is to be pub
lished soon.
Old Fireboys to Banquet. The Ex
empt Firemen's Association, will hold its
annual reunion and banquet at Kruse's
restaurant on the evening of Saturday,
December 2S. There are only 32 of the
"old boys" left, and as their number
grows smaller they look forward with in
creased interest to these annual reunions.
Peter Taylor, the oldest and oldest fore
man of them all, is still the head of the
organization, and bids fair to preside at
many more of these reunions. His service
in the Portland Fire Department dates
hack to the time the first hook and lad
der company was formed. A wagon was
presented to them at that time, and the
reach was lengthened out to make a lad
der truck. The firemen bought some lad
ders and buckets and started business.
To Observe Bed-Letter Dat. Tne
Women's Christian Temperance Union of
Portland Is making preparation to cele
brate the 23d anniversary of the beginning
of the great temperance crusade. It was
under the inspiration of an address de
livered by Dr. Dio Lewis, of Boston, that
the women of Hlllsboro, O., were moved
to concerted action against the saloons.
The TV. C. T. U. is the result of that
movement what the good women call the
"sober second thought." On December 23,
"red-letter day," white ribboncrs of all
lands meet to pray and plan for future
work. A suitable programme has been
prepared by the Portland organizations at
wj C. T. U. headquarters, 107JA Third
street. Mrs. Harvey Bailey will lead the
opening services.
Officials Visit Nosth Citt Park.
Park Commissioner Kenry Fleckenstein is
anxious to have some steps taken, to im
prove the handsome 30-acre park, known
as North City Park, situated near Uni
versity Park Addition. He yesterday took
Mayor Howe, City Engineer Chase and
Parkkeeper Myers down to look over this
park. They all considered it a beautiful
tract, and decided that It should be
cleared up and underbrush and surplus
trees cut out. There are many beautiful
trees in the park, and when the under
growth is cleared out they will stand a
better show to make large, shapely trees.
Christmas WInes. As we arc heavily
overstocked, commencing today, we have
made a reduction of 15 per cent on all
wines and liquors during the holidays.
This will prove an unequaled opportunity
to lay in a stock, as these prices cannot
be duplicated again. If you cannot call
send your order by either 'phone, Oregon
4S0, Columbia 479. Next Tuesday we will
present every customer with a quart bot
tle of choice wine as a souvenir. See our
display ad. In The Orcgonlan next Mon
day. S. A. Arata &. Co., 104 Third street,
between "Washington and Stark.
Manual Training Tool Boxes. Select
ed by Professor "W. J. Standley, are being
sold by the Y. M. C. A. for Christmas
presents for boys. The purpose of the
association in selling these tool cabinets
lor 55 leach is not to make money, but to
get boys to using real tools (not toys).
The cabinet is convenient; can be hung
on the wall or carried about the house,
and contains Just the tools a boy will use
and needs in the development of his crea
tive faculty. Orders taken at Y. M. a A.,
Fourth and Yamhill streets, for a limited
number of these cabinets.
Christmas Hollt on the Wat. There
Is not a large supply of holly for tne
Christmas market, and the price is higher
than many care to pay. To relieve the sit
uation a commission firm here has ordered
a number of barrels of holly sprays and
wreaths from Delaware, and they will ar
rive today or tomorrow. This will prob
ably cause a decline in prices. The few
people here who have holly trees demand
such high prices for sprays that deal
ers do not care to handle them, as they
cannot do so with satisfaction to their
customers.

Hard on All Strangers. Anent the
matter of street signs, mentioned in The
Oregonian, a citizen, states that yesterday
afternoon as he was coming down Fifth
street, near Madison, he met a stranger
who Inquired where Taylor street was. He
was told that he had crossed it about
three blocks back. He turned about, and,
as they walked down toward Taylor street,
the stranger remarked that he always got
lost in Portland, as he could not find a
number on a street nor the names. He
was told that at the street intersection
there was quite certain to be a polo of
some kind and that sometimes, almost al
ways, there was pretty certain to be a
tin sign bearing the names of the streets
on these poles. "Now here you are at
Taylor street' said the citizen, who was
playing cicerone, "and If you had looked
on this pole you would have seen" Just
then both looked for the sign, and there
was a piece of battered tin on which,
barely discernible were the letters "lor."
"Not much in the way of information
to a stranger," remarked the visitor. He
then went on to say that, although ho
was from the country, he was not exactly
a greenhorn and that 'he had visited most
of the principal cities in this country, and
had to say that on account of scarcity
of anything In the way of street signs in
the business part of the city and absence
of any system in the manner of number
ing houses, Portland was the most difficult
place for a stranger that he had ever
seen. Many houses have no numbers, and
others numbers that are indistinguishable,
and they are placed on any part of the
house which comes handiest This may
serve as a pointer to the street commit
tee of the Souncll, now that putting
things in order around town Is to De at
tempted. Postoffice Does Great Business. Tne
postofflce is doing a "land office" business"
these days in the stamp-selling depart
ment. Two windows for the sale of
stamps are kept open, and there is a con
stant stream of persons loaded with par
cels pouring in most of them women.
They' have parcels of all sizes, in hand
f uls, armfuls and basketfuls. One woman
yesterday dumped 42 packages at one of
the stamp windows, and as the stamp
clerk has to take them In one at a time,
weigh and note the postage on each, and
then lay the proper number of stamps
on each as he passes them back, it can
easily be Imagined that there Is frequent
ly a long string of persons waiting. In
fact, there were strings of people wait
ing at the windows nearly all the time
yesterday. If this business keeps on in
creasing it will soon be necessary to have
stamp brokers, who will take in people's
parcels and weigh and stamp them so
that the stamp clerk will only have to
run through them and see that no mis
takes have been made. The receipts from,
the sale of stamps for this month are
already equal to the receipts for the en
tire month of December last year, and
at the end of this month a substantial in
crease will be shown.
Oregon Vindicates Herself. Tne
weather made one of the lightning chances
yesterday forenoon characteristic of Ore
gon and grateful to Oregonians. The
morning up to 10 o'clock was clear and
cold. The mud on the streets was frozen,
the wind was piercing cold for this sec
tionthe sun shone from an almost un
clouded sky, the steam from the mills
above and below town, and from the
steamboats on the river, rose in long
feathery plumes Into the frosty air, and
the snow peaks stood out bright and cold
In all their grandeur. The 'wind at this
time was southerly, and an old Orcgonlan,
when it was remarked, "We are in for
a spell of clear, cold weather, with pneu
monia and grip accompaniment," called
attention to the course of the wind, and
a few cumulus clouds coming up, and
said, "It will be raining before long."
By 12 o'clock the sky was overcast, and
before 1 o'clock it began to rain, and um
brellas were to the front. Oregon, was
herself again and her people were happy.
Captain Langfitt Finds New Stone
Quarry. Captain Langfitt, United States
Engineers, returned yesterday from in
specting a prospective stone quarry near
Bugby's light, on the Columbia, between
Clifton and Westport. The rock from the
base of a bluff looks as If it would do
for building jetties, etc, and a quarry will
be opened up to examine it. The discov
ery of this quarry is the result of two
years' search, and If the rock is found to
be suitable for -jetty work It will save
a long haul on furnishing stone for the ex
tension of tie jetty at the mouth of the
Columbia, work on whlcb will probably
be commenced next Spring. It is remark
able that rock suitable for such work is
so scarce on the Lower Columbia. All tne
rock used on the Columbia River jetty
and the Gray's Harbor jetty so far has
been procured from a quarry a short dis
tance above Vancouver, where there is
an unlimited supply 6f very good rock.
Crusade Against Rubbish. Steps are
being taken in several quarters to begin
a crusade against wood piles, lumber piles,
rubbish piles and all sorts of nuisances
which have been allowed too long and
in too many place to cumber the
streets and sidewalks. The city author
ities have given the parties who are mov
ing in this matter to understand that they
will be aided in every possible way In
their efforts to have the streets cleared up.
There has been so much latitude shown
people in this matter that many have
come to believe that they have vested
rights in the streets and sidewalks and
can pile anything on them and leave it
as long as they please. Illusions- of this
kind will soon bo dispelled.

Poultry Rushes to Market. There Is
not likely to be a scarcity of poultry for
Christmas. Turkeys have not put in an
appearance in large numbers yet, but they
will come out In force today, and there
will be a full supply, and will probably
be as cheap or cheaper than they were at
Thanksgiving. There will be plenty of
geese also. Such vast numbers of chick
ens were received yesterday that the price
dropped, and a speculator went around
and bought up many hundreds at 53 per
dozen and sent them to some place out
of town, where he will keep them for a
while. After New Year's the price of
chickens always goes up, on account of
the scarcity of them, and he expects to
get 55 or 56 a dozen for all he has on
hand. Farmers rush their chickens In to
the holiday market and run the price
down, and so the stock had to bo cleaned
out to keep up tho price of those left.
Housekeepers need not expect to buy
chickens fit unusually low rates during
the holiday season.
Manx Pat Beech-Street Sewer As
sessments. City Treasurer Werltin and
his assistant have been kept very busy
for the past week receiving and receipt
ing for assessments for the cost of the
Becch-streOt sewer. A large number of
the property-owners In that sewer district
have applied to take advantage of the
bonding act, which can be done by any
one whose total assessment amounts to
525. There are, however, a great many
whoso assessment amounts to more than
this sum, vrho prefer to pay at once and
have tho matter oft their minds, and
avoid paying Interest in tho future. Audi
tor Devlin Cias received through the mall
over 51000 of assessments on this sewer
from persons residing out of the city, ie
says it is astonishing what a number of
lots in the district are owned by non
residents. The time of filing applications
for taking advantage of tho bonding act
expired yesterday.
Will Address Machinists. Thomas L.
Wilson, fourth vice-president of the Inter
national Association of Machinists, will
speak to the members of the local union
at Allsky Hall, Third and Morrison streets,
Sunday at 3 P. M. Mr. Wilson had charge
of the recent strike on the Pacific Coast,
and will talk to tho machinists on the
history of the strike. Ninety per cent of
the members 6t the machinists' union,
says Mr. Wilson, won their contention for
a nine-hour day.
Wanted in Klickitat. Sheriff Bergln,
of Klickitat County, came to Portland
yesterday, and asked Chief McLauchlan
to aid him in a search for Charles Hooker,
who is wanted in Goldcndale for running
away with tho pretty wife of a well-to-do
rancher. Hooker was found at the
Perkins Hotel, where he and the woman
had been stopping since Tuesday, and he
was lodged in Jail. Sheriff Bergin will
leave with his prisoner this morning.
Societt Meets Today. The Oregon
Historical Society will hold Its annual
meeting this afternoon at 2 o'clock In the
parlors of the First Congregational
Church. After the usual routine business,
D. W. Craig, a pioneer of 1S53, will read
a paper. A number of members of the
society who live In outside towns are in
the city for today's meeting, which prom
ises to be of unusual Interest.
