This Timh Ha Complains or Doob. A
resident of the same district on the East
Side from whence came a complaint a
short time ago in regard to delivery
wagon drivers allowing their horses to
destroy the grass newly seeded along the
space between the curbs and the cement
sidewalks writes to say that he Is more
annoyed and injured by dogs than horses.
Nearly everybody in his neighborhood, he
says, keeps one or more dogs, and as
few of them pay licenses on their dogs,
they are kept on the premises of their
owners, chained up most of the day.
"When they are turned loose to enjoy
themselves, there being no gates or fences
in front of many of the lots, they amuse
and enjoy themselves by running wild
over lawns and flower-beds, scratching up
grass and plants and defiling the prem
ises. He asks what he can do to prevent
this. This is a question which must be
referred back to him. As many people
have a fancy for keeping dogs and re
sent any interference with them, or .any
restriction being placed on their liberties,
and have no care as to how much an
noyance they cause others, so long as
the dogs are enjoying themselves, it looks
as if the complainant will have to
grin and bear It. He might constitute
himself a missionary and try to convert
his neighbors to the belief that the city
is not a proper place to keep dogs in,
but he will probably find this a more dif
ficult job than Miss Stone tackled in her
effort to convert the Bulgarian brigands
to her style of Christianity.
Feeding a Frog Menagerie. The feed
ing of the animals In a menagerie is al
ways an interesting sight to those visit
ing such places, and the feeding of the
frogs in the City Museum Is a spectacle
of the same sort. Some half-dozen rather
handsome frogs are kept In a pan, over
which is placed a wire, gauze cover. An
attendant dally catches a lot of house
flies which, notwithstanding the season,
come out to sun themselves In the win
dows when the sun Is shining. These flies
are placed In a flask, and this flask Is
Inserted in a hole In the wire gauze. The
flies crawl or drop out, and It is laugha
ble to see the frogs go for them, leap
ing over one another to catch the flies
on the wing. If a fly falls In the water,
the frog can hardly see it, owing to his
eyes being placed on the top of his
head, but they And all the flies after
a while. To see a frog leap out of the
water and catch a fly with his tongue,
and bump his nose against the side of
the pan, is very funny, and shows what
an agile animal the frog is. Eastern peo
ple do not catch any house flies at this
time of the year, and cannot realize that
in this region they are out and buzzing
about every day In the week.
Great Day for Horsemen. The wel
come sunshine and hardening roads
tempted quite a number of horsemen out
yesterday, and the White House and
Sandy roads were busy thoroughfares,
with family driving parties and gay
crowds on horseback. Most of the sad
dle horses in the city were engaged, and
shortly after noon it was not possible to
hire a roadster for love or money. The
air was Invigorating, and the exercise
wholesome. "Think of such an enjoyable
horseback ride In the middle of January,
with the lawns green and flowers bloom
ingthe season when most of the Middle
and Eastern States are covered with snow
and Ice. Give me Oregon all the year
round," said a veteran horseman.
Messengers op Spring Here. Spring
is coming, of" "course, but, according to
the calendar. It is yet a long way off.
Any one hearing the flocks of meadow
larks singing, as they have been singing
for several mornings past. In the eastern
suburbs of the city, would feel inclined
to throw the calendar aside and say
Spring is here. Of course toe orchards
are not yet In bloom. They haven't had
time to develop blossoms yet. but the
buds are swelling, and the singing of the
birds is a signal to them to expand into
bloom. If the weather does not become
more seasonable soon, everything will be
budding and blooming. A moderate cold
snap Is what is wanted, with snow in the
country. If possible.
Repairs in Crrr Hall The corridors
of the City Hall resound with the noise
of the saw, hammer and plane, as sev
eral men are at work making necessary
repairs to a large number of the window
sashes. The plates of glass on these win
dows are large and heavy, and as the
sashes are of Eastern pine, and not very
strongly fastened together at the corners,
they are giving way under the weight of
the glass, and many of them must be
put in order at once. There appears to
have been a miscalculation made In or
dering these sashes, the wood not being
adapted-to the weight of the glass, and
the corners depending principally on -glue
for holding them in place. '
Annual Banquet on Commercial Club.
The annual banquet of the Commercial
Club will be given tomorrow evening in
the clubrooms, commencing at 7 o'clock.
Elaborate preparations are being made for
the banquet, which Is one of the great
events of the year in club circles. Covers
will be laid for more than 100 of the club
members, and an excellent programme Is
being prepared. H. M. Cake, president of
the club, will act -as toastmaster. The
annual business meeting and election will
be held next Saturday evening.
Extension of Car Line. The exten
sion of their line which the City & Sub
urban Railway Company Is building from
the Junction of Union avenue and East
Harrison, out East Harrison, Elliott and
others streets to East Twenty-first, and
on this street to the Southern Pacific Com
pany's railroad shops, Is being pushed
rapidly toward completion, and will be
finished in about two weeks.
The Annual meeting of members of tne
First Unitarian Church and society will
be held at the chapel at 7:30 o'clock P. M.,
Tuesday, January 14, to hear the re
ports from various organizations, elect
officers and transact other business. Re
freshments will be served and a social
evening enjoyed. All members of the so
ciety are especially urged to be present.

public school for the benefit of the free
swimming bath fund. The cast is being
trained by Miss Webb, of St Helen's
Hall, and the costuming, staging and mu
sic will bewell cared for.
The Other Johnson. Theodore John
eon, while under the Influence of bad
whisky, fell against a store door at First
and Carruthers streets with such force
that he broke the door, last night. Jailer
Johnson escorted the other Johnson to the
police station.
Portland High School Alumni hold
their semi-annual meeting tonight at the

Grxat Shod Sals, Marks Shos Co.
School Meettko Revives Ancient Cus
tom. Probably .many citizens will be
astonished to learn that the method of
levying the school tax by the vote of all
the resident taxpayers, as is the custom
in this city. Is a very ancient system,
which Is in vogue in no other city in the
world. H. H. Dalton, formerly connected
with public school matters in New York
State, and still much interested In all that
pertains to lim public school system, who
has been in the city for several days, and
has been looking Into the method of con
ducting school business here, is responsi
ble for this statement. He says there is
not a city in the world so large as .Port
land in which any tax of any kind is
levied in the same manner as the school
tax here. In the ancient world, said Mr.
Dalton, a great deal of public business
was transacted by the people assembled
in the public forum or market place, but
the Anglo-Saxon Introduced the idea of a
representative government, and now
nearly all public matters are attended to
by the duly appointed representatives of
the people. "You have here in Portland,
however," he said, "a. survival of pure
democracy. The school tax is levied, the
oretically, by the entire body of taxpay
ers, in convention assembled. In prac
tice, however, I am Informed that only
a small portion of the 10,000 taxpayers
ever assemble for this purpose, so that
the so-called taxpayers meeting is in real
ity a gathering of a self-appointed, in
stead of duly appointed, representatives
of the people." Mr. Dalton did not sug
gest that a change from this "survival of
pure democracy" would be beneficial or
otherwise, or he would probably soon hear
from X, the only surviving pure Democrat
in the city.
Whitbchapel Resort Closed. "Dollar
Bill's Place," the famous saloon of colored
Whltechapel, Fourth and Everett streets,
is no more. Smith St. Clair, colored, bet
ter know as "Dollar Bill," who weighs
about 300 pounds, has given up business
because it did not pay as well as he
wished. Ho could not be seen around his
usual haunts last night, but it is stated
that he is going to start in another line
of trade. There has been weeping and
wailing among various colored damsels
since it became known that St, Clair's
place was to close, and their cry has
been: "Where shall we find another?
There are lots of saloons, but only one
Dollar BI1L" Another rumor is that St.
Clair is to return to the East, his first
love. Trade in Whltechapel saloons has
been dull for some time, since the police
took stern measures with colored men
who didn't work, but were able to sport
diamonds and wear fine linen. The rock
pile has scared away the hobo element,
and Idle saloon patrons as well.
Why Not Change House Numbers?
Now that a movement is being made to
have proper street signs put up, so that
strangers trai'ellng about the city may
know where they are at, it is a propitious
time for those who are desirous of hav
ing the numbering of buildings Improved
to renew the agitation of this question.
Many wish the houses to be numbered
as in other cities, giving 100 numbers to
a block, which, they allege, renders it
easy to figure out just where a certain
number on any street is to be found. The
only objection to this is that the blocks
are so small that the numbers at the end
of some of the long streets would run
up Into the millions, or thereabouts. How
ever, a change is good once in a while,
even if it Is for the worse, and as every
thing Is subject to change, why not
change the style of numbering?
Chimnet-Sweeps in Hard Luck. The
mild weather is not favorable for chimney-sweeps,
as people do not have to
build roaring fires and chimneys do not
burn out and alarm the neighbors and
call their attention to the necessity of
having their chimneys swept. Unless
there comes a cold snap before long, the
chimney-sweeps' trust will have no divi
dends to declare In the Spring, and not
so many wood dealers will graduate Into
millionaires as was expected.

J. J. Dalton, of the Cumberland Presby
terian Church, delivered an able address
before the men's Tnass meeting at the

FOR EAST SIDE MARKET
MOVBMEIfT TO ESTABLISH FARM

Proposal Is Made That Improvement
Association Erect a Building
for This PBrsosc.
At the next meeting of the East Side
Improvement Association, which will take
place on the evening of January 2L the
project of establishing farmers headquar
ters and a general market place will be
the most Important business for consid
eration. Mrs. E. M. Shafford, a member
of the American Civic Improvement
League, yesterday interested several
prominent members of the association in
the proposition. The plan proposed is in
line with the purposes of the American
Civic Improvement League, and one of
the means for carrying them out. The
plan Is to secure ground on the East Side
for the erection of a building for head
quarters for farmers and their wives and
children when they come to Portland to

MONTAGUE LESSLER, NEW YORK REPUBLICAN.
Montague Lessler, who defeated Perry Belmont, the millionaire society
man and banker, in the Congressional election held In New York recently,
has been active In politics In the metropolis for several years, but has
never before run for public office.. He is 34 years of age, and was edu
cated at the College of the City of New York, and afterwards was grad
uated from the law department of Columbia University.
Congressman-elect Lessler Is close to President Roosevelt, and accom
panied him on his trip during the last National campaign. He had the
honor of making the last speech previous to the election from the porch
of, President Roosevelt's Summer home at Oyster Bay, L. I. He is a
prominent member of the Republican general committee, of New York,
and of the Republican Club. Belmont was considerably hampered In his
campaign because of the fact that his nomination was distasteful to the
Tammany leaders of the district, and while they agreed to support him,
after the courts had declared him the regular party nominee, the usual
Tammany aggressiveness was absent in the campaign, and many of the
Wigwam votes went to an Independent candidate.

This building is to be plain in construc

cultivation of flowers on the most Im
proved methods as object lessons to farm
ers and others. Beauty will be the ob
ject sought for in the cultivation of the
ground. The house Is to be in charge of
a matron. It will be farmers' headquar

lng it Is proposed to provide a market
place, something that the farmers have
been asking for for many years. The
two naturally go together. Several prom
inent men have interested themselves in
the project. An offer of a long lease of
ground for the home building and flower
garden and market place has practically
been made. W. L. Boise, vice-president
of the association, gives the project his
Indorsement. Others have expressed
themselves as favorable to the project.
An architect will prepare plans for the
building, according to the suggestions of
Mrs. Shafford, of the American Civic Im
provement League. These will probably
be ready for examination at the next
meeting of the association. At that time
the conditions on which ground for the
building and market place may be had
will also be set forth. It is Intimated
that the land may be had for a nominal
rental.
OPENING OF TRACTS.
Adams and Tlbbctt Tracts to Be
Platted and Streets Extended.
The Title Guaranty & Trust Company
has purchased the GO-acre tract of D. K.
Abrams, lying between Lincoln Park and
Lincoln Park Annex, for $35,000. It Is a
triangular piece with about 500 feet front
ing on Union avenue, and contains 13
blocks. The tract Is covered with a con
siderable growth of brush and stumps,
which will be cleared off; The tract will
be platted. Falling street will be extended
through the tract and graded. It Is un
derstood that all the other streets will
be opened so as to correspond as nearly
as possible with the outside streets. It
will -bo a considerable advantage to that
part of the city to have the streets
opened.
The opening of the Catlln & Hogue
.tract between Union and Vancouver ave
"nues has had a good effect. All along
Williams avenue new houses are being
put up. Between Williams and Union
avenues that half of the tract Is being
cleared of brush and stumps, all of which
Is very helpful to that district
Good progress is being made toward the
opening of streets In the Tibbetts tract,
cast of Milwaukle street. Surveyors have
been at work In this tract for some time,
running lines preparatory to platting it,
much to the satisfaction of that entire
community. Owing to the irregular shape
of the tract, the streets cannot be made
to correspond with those on the outside,
but the streets which are to be opened
through it will materially Improve con
ditions there.
TO CLAIM A FORTUNE.
Miss Bennett, Teacher at Terry,
Obeys Summons to England.
Miss B. L. Bennett, who taught school
for several terms at Terry. 12 miles east
of the city on the Base Line road, has
started for England to claim an estate.
About a month ago she received a tele
gram asking that she be prepared to start
for England on receipt of a letter of
Instructions. Miss Bennett resigned as
teacher of the school, giving the directors
only two days' notice of her Intentions,
and giving as a reason for doing so that
she had received the summons to claim
an estate and would have to make prepa
rations for the long trip-. It was nearly
three weeks after this before she started
with her cousin. Miss McCrea, with whom
she resided at Rockwood-
It was stated yesterday at Rockwood
by a man who knew them well that Miss
Bennett and her cousin lived a very re
tired life iand rarely ever mingled with
the people of the community. She had
spoken of having wealthy relatives at
Nova Scotia and other place3. and had
given the impression that she owned con
siderable property. It Is generally be
lieved that Miss Bennett Is related to the
nobility of England in some way. As to
what shape the estate Is which she Is sup
posed to have gone to claim, there is no
information. While teacher at Terry she
gave satisfaction, and the pupils and
patrons regretted that she resigned.
SUB-BOARD RECORDS ASKED FOR.
They Will Be Incorporated in the
General Report of Head Board.
Reports of the work of the several
Sub-Boards of Trade have beeen asked
for to be incorporated In the forthcom
ing publication to be Issued by the Port
land Board of Trade. The record of the
year's work of these community organi
zations, or push clubs, will undoubtedly
be found very creditable. William Kll
llngsworth began organizing them a year
ago, under discouraging circumstances.
Attendance at the start was small. Some
of the most aggressive boards were start
ed with 13 members. Sellwood organized
with this number and now has 123. It
has a woolen mill and other things to
show for its work. Montavllla started
with about the same number. It has a
sidetrack built, a prospective fruit can
nery and wood yard and a united com-
00J 9.4o
munity to show for its work. Central
Albina Sub-Board has -a fine sewer sys
tem and a prospective public building. At
Wbodlawn and Piedmont the widening of
Union avenue to 0 feet, free mail de
livery and a new schoolhouse are among
the things it has worked for. Clinton Kel
ly Sub-Board hopes for free delivery and
numerous other things are in prospect.
Brooklyn board has a cycle path and the
platting of the Tibbetts tract among the
things accomplished. The University
Board is working for electric car service.
All these boards assisted in the can
vassing for funds for the 1905 fair. They
have proved indispensable. The East Side
Improvement Association has a member
ship of 350 and Is the largest organiza
tion of the kind In the city. It has
been found where the boards have been
active that they have tended to unite
the community and do away with little
petty contentions which prevented concert
of action in Improvements.
MAY BE HOG CHOLERA.
Farmer Says This Disease Caused
Death of Hoes at Rnssellvllle.
It is now said that the hogs of August
Llnderman and the Closo brothers, farm
ers near Russellvlllc, on the Base Line
road, which died a short time ago, had
hog cholera. Over 150 fine hogs, valued
at $1000, died. It was supposed that the
cause of their death was poison of some
sort. At the inclosure of Mr. Llnder
man he had used tarred paper on the
roof, and some scraps of It had been
scattered about the premises. As It Is
known that tar Is a deadly poison to
hogs, It was inferred at once that the
hogs ate the pieces of paper, but a neigh
bor who has had experience with hog
cholera Investigated the cause, of the
death of these hogs, and he declared It
to be cholera, He said that he lost three
himself from this cause.
He examined the stomachs of several
of the dead hogs and says that their
condition was exactly similar to a con
dition resulting from hog cholera. This
farmer said that his experience with the
disease is that it is highly contagious,
and that this matter should be looked
Into at once, as the disease may spread
all over the country. He takes no stock
In the theory that these hogs were pois
oned by some malicious person. There
was not the slightest motive for the
crime, and ho regards that explanation
as highly Improbable. It would, certainly
not be difficult to ascertain whether these
hogs died of cholera or not, and It would
ecm very Important that this should be
ascertained for several good reasons, one
of which is to prevent the spread of the
disease.

DENY LIMPING CHARGES
LOCAL SAILOR BOARDING-HOUSE
MEN MAKE REPLY. .
French Complaints That Sailors Are
Enticed From Ships, They Say,
Are Baseless.
Further particulars regarding the al
leged "crimping" of French sailors In
Portland was received from Paris by way
of New York, yesterday. According to
the article received, M. Maurice Schwab,
editor of the Place de la Loire, declares
that 100 seamen have been lost to France
and lightships' crews have been hope
lessly disorganized through the Instru
mentality of local sailor boarding-housemen.
"All this Is said to be the work of an
organized gang, headed by a local polit
ical 'boss,' a person named Sullivan," says
the European edition of the New York
Herald. As soon as a vessel arrives this
gang entices the men to leave it, using
a drugged liquor, till they have been
entered as deserters, and then sells them
to other captains."
Selecting a single case, Editor Schwab
says:
"The captain of the General Melllnet
writes: 'I was threatened by Sullivan
with having no men If I did not allow
my crew full liberty to desert. I consult
ed the French Consular Agent and sev
eral captains. They all assured me that
Sullivan was such a power In Portland
that I would have to treat him with
consideration and buy sailors at his price.
"I had finally to allow my cabin boy,
Etervllle, to desert, after several attempts
to prevent It. The first mate deserted In
open day. I had to return the effects of
the cook, who also deserted his bread at
daylight, after stealing a quantity of
goods.
"On December 12 I made the first pay
ment of $250 to Sullivan, who signed a
receipt with a fancy name, agreeing to
furnish me with 10 men for a further
payment of $300. Next day he raised the
price to $550. He admitted that this price
was illegal, and explained that that was
the reason why he did not sign his own
name, adding that unless I paid $550 at
once he would again raise his price. On
the advice of other captains, English
and German, I paid."
The foregoing was shown to Lawrence
Sullivan, of Sullivan, Grant & McCarron.
yesterday, and after reading It he said
he knew nothing of the charges made.
Jack Grant, one of his business partners,
said the French captains had no cause
for complaint. They were treated just as
well as the German and English captains,
only they were less appreciative. So far
as drugged whisky was concerned, he
concluded, there was none of it; it was
not given to the sailors in the Sailors'
Home.
"No drugged whisky was ever given In
this house." said Peter Grant, another
member of the firm. "I will give $500 to
any man who can prove that we gave
a sailor a glass of any kind of liquor in
order to get him on or off a ship. And,
so far as the French sailors are con
cerned, they need not be enticed away to
secure whisky. They can get It aboard,
and plenty of it. The reason why they
leave their ships here is that they can
get better wages. They leave France at
months' pay In advance. When they ar
rive here they have one month's pay due.
Circulating around town, they learn that
they can secure $2 per day at common la
bor, and many of them leave their ships
in order to take this work. They make
and save enough money to send home to
their families, and then they come here
to ship. Shipping here, they can get $25
a month; coming out from France, they
get only $15.
"In many cases the men are dissatis
fied with their ships and seek a change.
Their masters are what we might term
'new, and they do not give the sailors
the best treatment. When they come to
port, anybody who can talk French can
lead them astray. Now. all the trouble
we have heard so much of was caused by
a man who could speak French one Gil
bert, of Astoria. Gilbert formerly kept a
saloon In Astoria, and In the business he
made quite a sum Of money, sufficient to
enable him. to seek respectability through
the mcdlumship of sailor reform. He
talked to the captains and they listened;
we talked and they turned a deaf ear.
The French Consul and the exporters
talked, but they refused to understand.
We gave them our figures, which we con
sidered very fair and just, and based
upon the state of labor for a whole year.
The German and English captains and
the exporters accepted our figures, but
the French masters wanted to make fig
ures of their own. They have made the
same trouble in other ports, especially
Jn San Francisco. We have showed them
that Portland Is the cheapest outfitting
port in the world, and In the last week
or two they have been beginning to come
around."
"We do not seek the sailors." said Mr.
Sullivan. "They come to us of their own
accord. They say they are better treated
hero than in any other port in the world,
and thre is no other house which has
its name stamped upon its sailors' out
fits." pointing to a room fully stocked
with home-manufactured, oil and woolen
garments.
"The French captains are all right,' said
Mr. Grant, "but the sooner their affairs
are placed In the hands of the agents
the better It will be for all concerned.
So far as the talk about money goes,
you can say that we make our price to
the masters, and when we receive It we
sign our own names to the receipt."

HAIR NATURALLY ABUNDANT.
"When It Is Free of Dandruff, It
Grown Luxuriantly.
Hair preparations and dandruff cures,
as a mle, are -Mcky or Irritating affairs
that do no earthly good. Hair, when not
diseased grows naturally luxuriantly.
Dandruff Is the cause of nine-tenths of
all hair trouble, and dandruff is caused by
a g-rm. The only way to cure dandruff
Is to kill the germ: and. so far, the only
hair preparation that will positively de
stroy that germ Is Newbro3 Herpicide
absolutely harmless, free from grease,
sediment, dye matter or dangerous drugs.
It allays itching instantly; makes hair
glossy and soft as silk. "Destroy tha
