. Why a School Is Closed. County
School Superintendent Robinson Was no
tified yesterday by C. M. Black, clerk of
the Pleasant Home School district, that
the school at Orient, In that district, has
been closed for two weeks, on account
of fear of smallpox. One of the three
teachers In the school was visiting a
friend in this city on January 12, who
was tick at the time, and a day or two
later it was found that she was suffering
from smallpox, and the teacher was, of
course, exposed to contagion. The teacher
not knowing this, had gone back to her
work, and, when it was known that she
had been exposed, the Board of Di
rectors of the district decided that it
would be best to adjourn the school for
two weeks, and every precaution Is be
ing taken to prevent any spread of the
disease, should it break out. There is
some talk of closing the school In the
Powell's Valley district, as the teacher
who was exposed, although employed in
the Pleasant Home district, boarded at a
house in the Powell Valley district, where
there were several children who attended
school In that district. It Is to be hoped
that the teacher exposed did not con
tract the disease, and that the school
will resume at the end of the two weeks
adjournment. The lost time will be made
up at the end of the term.
Funeral, of Dr. Hikes. The funeral
of the late Rev. H. K. HInes took- place
yesterday afternoon from the Taylor
street M. E. Churcli, under the direction
of Rev. Dr. H. J. Talbott, who was as
sisted by several members of the Oregon
Conference. A. J. Joslyn, presiding elder
of the Seattle district, paid a glowing
tribute to the memory of Dr. HInes, and
Dr. A. N. Fisher read a carefully pre
pared memoir of his life. A quartet,
under the direction of W. H. Boyer, sang
"Lead, Kindly Light," and the congre
gation sang "Faith of Our Fathers." The
church was filled to overflowing with
life-long friends of the deceased. After
the services at the church the remains
were taken to Lone Fir Cemetery for
interment H. W. Scott, John F. Caples,
J. F. Jones, J. H. McMIllen and T. A.
"Wood acted as honorary pall-bearers, and
the casket was carried by J. C. More
land, F. H. Grubs, B. L. Paget F. S.
Akin, E. W. Cornell, and W. Y. Masters.
Rapid Work on Failino House. The
house-movers who have had In hand the
Job of turning around the old Falling res
dence, at the southeast corner of Yam
hill and Fifth, so as to make it front on
Fifth street, have made quick dispatch
with the work, and the building Is al
ready In Its new position. Several large
maple shade trees, which stood on the
Yamhill front of the property, have
been remored, the grubbing out of the
stumps and cutting up of them having
been quite a Job, and costing more than
the wood -they -made Is worth. The
clearing away of the brick foundation
and debris, and the removal of several
small trees which stood on the property,
are progressing rapidly, and work on tho
one-story brick store to be erected on
the Yamhill-street side of the quarter
block will be commenced at once. As
this structure is to be completed by
March 1, there is no time to be wasted.

, give an exhibition of lantern slides, the
first of a new series, from the Montreal
and Toronto Clubs. This is expected to
be a great treat to art-lovers and all
students In photography. It wlH begin at
8 o'clock sharp, and will no doubt at
tract a large audience of" club members,
as is usual on these occasions. The club
is enjoying one of the most prosperous
years of Its existence; the membership
is constantly increasing, having reached
the number of 160. The exceptional op
portunities afforded students in the way
of the most modern and highly Improved
apparatus, as well as association with
artists whose merit Is recognized both
at home and abroad, make it a most at
tractive club for amateurs.
Nearly Done With Chartejj. The
revision committee of the charted board
met last night in the Chamber of Com
merce building. In the absence of San
derson Reed, -who is In California, C. A.
Bell acted as secretary of the meeting.
Meihbers present were Messrs. Teal,
Devlin, Hogue, Montague. Robertson and
Glisan. The work of revision will be fin
ished at tht next meeting, which will
take place tomorrow night. The com
mittee is just completing the division of
the charter pertaining to streets. The
revised instrument will probably go to
the printer Saturday and will be ready
for the members of the board before the
meeting of the body next Thursday.
The Marble Not Explosive. Henry
E. Reed, assistant secretary of the Cham
ber of Commerce, yesterday received a
heavy cigar-box. so mysterious looking
as to suggest an Infernal machine. He
was very stealthy about opening the
box, and turned It over gingerly before
he took his life in his hands. When the
lid swung back, there were revealed only
some Innocent samples of marble from
Bossburg, Wash., where extensive quar
ries are now in development. The sender
hoped that the Chamber of pommerce
would add the marble to Its permanent
exhibit.
Getting Ready to Make Tests.
Dairy and Food Commissioner Bailey has
been taking things easier in the past
few days than is his strenuous wont.
He has been giving most of his attention
to butter and milk of late, but is getting
ready to wield his authority in other
directions also. He is thinking of set
ting aside an hour of each day for peo
ple to bring samples of milk and butter
for tests. The analyses do not cost the
public anything. Mr. Bailey believes -this
plan would aid him in ferreting out vio
lators of the law.

The Wat of the Transgressor. For
some little time, hold-up men. tramps,
hobos and all sorts of bad men have been
having things about their own way In
Portland; but now "the worm has
turned," as will be seen by the work of
the courts done yesterday, and in hand
as follows: Bennett Thompson and
Charles Barker, alias Wright, the reform
school graduate, arrested a few days
ago for highway robbery, were sentenced
yesterday by Judge Frazer. Thompson,
who confessed to about 20 hold-ups on
the Slavln road, and Is supposed to have
committed at least 10 more robberies, was
sent up for 20 years, and Barker,
who was comparatively a new hand at
the business, got 10 years. Kelly Wiley,
the colored thief, who was Implicated In
the diamond robbery at the Portland
Hotel, in November last, was sentenced
by Judge Frazer yesterday to seven
years in the penitentiary. Jack Wade
and William Dalton, convicted of the
murder of James B. Morrow, a few
weeks ago, are to be hanged on January
3L of this month. Larry Kelly, opium
smuggler, is to be sentenced today, and
some two score hobos are hard at work
on the city rock pile.
Great Increase in Water Consump
tion. The increase in the number of
dwellings, stores and other places where
water is used, within the past 15 years,
as shown by the annual report of the
chairman of the Water Committee, is
something remarkable. When the city
took charge of tho water supply In the
beginning of 1SS7, the number of houses
and other places where water was used
was 4157. The number of houses and
other places added to this list up to
January 1. 1902, was 97G1. making a total
of 13.92S. The taking over of the Alblna
water works in February 1 will add to
this 2703 houses, and other places where
water is used, making a total of 16,636,
almost four times the number when the
city took control of the water supply
15 years ago.
Elks to Build Large Structure.
Portland Elks are making arrangements
to erect a building at the northeast cor
ner of Seventh and Stark streets, where
they recently bought a quarter block
for $24,500. The structure will probably
be six stories In height and cost about
5100,000. The building committee, of which
John Lamont is chairman, and E. W.
Rowe secretary, is ready to negotiate
with a tenant for the occupancy of the
ground floor, on a long lease, and tho
details of the building will not be deter
mined upon until such tenants shall have
been secured. Then arrangements will be
made to suit the tenant. The Intention
is to go ahead with the building the
coming Spring, there being no doubt
about getting a tenant.
Rough Riders for 1905. The "Cen
tennial Troop of Teddy's Rough Riders"
is the name of a military organizatlon
that Is forming in anticipation of the 1303
fair. The troop will have 60 members,
about 30 of whom are already recruited.
It will be a very choice body, open only
to the elect. The object it to enlist only
the handsomest and most stalwart young
men In Portland. The organization will
be purely military, and In no sense po
litical. The equipment of uniforms and
regalia is now being prepared. Khaki
suits, leggins, gauntlets, campaign hats,
with cords and ornaments therefor, have
been ordered. The company meets every
Tuesday evening on the sixth floor of the
A. O. U. W. temple.
Brought Back Runaway Boys.

Girls Aid Society, returned to town yes
terday from Astoria, with two boys, Will
iam Hamilton and William Spencer, in
charge. The boys recently ran away
from the Society's Home, on the East
Side, and started to work at the West
port logging camp, near Astoria. Spencer
ran away from the camp and was ar
rested charged with stealing meat, when
Hawley found him. The boys were
locked up for the night. Hamilton's
mother Is now in Seattle, and although
the has married a second husband an
effort will be made to see if she will re
ceive her son again.

scious. An unknown German about 50
years old, and poorly dressed, was found
lying on the sidewalk at First and Mad
ison streets last night. In a semi-conscious

night It was stated that the stranger
would not probably live long.
To Plat Association Game. A choice
selection of Fossil football players from
Eastern Oregon had planned to visit this
city Saturday to play a game of Associa
tion football with the Portland football
club, hut it now appears that Fossil will
only be able to furnish a few players. A

Club, augmented with Fossllites and
sailors.

FOR A STOCK COMPANY
JAMES JiEILL, GEORGE I. BAKER
AKD CALVIX HEILIG UXITE,
"Will Bear the Kane of XcIII, and
Make Its Home at Baker The
ater After September 2.
Portland Is to have a permanent stock
dramatic company. It will be modeled
on the lines which have been so success
fully followed by James Nelll. and Mr.
Nelll will be its president and director,
having yesterday completed arrangements
with George L. Baker and Calvin Helllg
for the organization of a company, to be
known as the Nelll Stock Company, which
will open at the Baker Theater September
2 next, and continue In business Indefin
itely. Mr. Baker will be vice-president,
secretary and manager of tho new organ
ization, and Mr. Helllg treasurer. Edwin
Nelll, now manager of tho James Nellll
Company, will locate In Portland, as his
brother's representative. The best and
latest plays will bo produced, and the
most capable company that can be se
cured will present them.
The new organization will in no way
affect the James Nelll Company, which
will continue touring the West as here
tofore, with Mr. Nelll as its head, and
no changes In Its membership. Mr. Nelll c
relation to the Portland enterprise will
be that of direction. He will arrange for
the plays, engage the players, and upon
his plans the productions will be given.
It Is his purpose to spare no expense,
cither In the matter of dramas and actors,
and his facilities for getting both are the
best. The same sumptuousness of scen
ery and accessories, the same admirable
stage management, and the same atten
tion to every detail of a presentation that
characterizes the productions given by
the company he now heads will be car
ried out In the Portland theater.
The new arrangement was brought
about by Mr. Baker, and both Mr. Nelll
and Mr. Helllg readily entered Into his
plans. Stock companies are and have
been successful In the past, and It has
been Mr. Baker's purpose since he took
the management of the theater now bear
ing nis name to make It the home of-such
an organization ns soon as possible. Mr.
NcIU's methods of conducting a company
appealed strongly to him, and on the oc
casion of the last islt of the Nelll Com
pany to Portland the matter was
broached. Mr. Nelll is also a believer In
resident stock companies, and after con
sultation with Mr. Helllg, articles of in
corporation were drawn up. Immediate
steps will be taken to arrange for the
latest and most successful plays, and as
there will be plenty of time for the exer
cise of care In the selection of a com
pany, it is promised that the best resi
dent stock organization on the Coast will
be ready to open the theater September 2.
Mr. Nelll already enjoys the favor of the
dispensers of New York successes, and
will soon be on the lookout for such plays
as he believes will be most acceptable to
the Portland public a public whose de
sires he has had every opportunity to
study. He Is convinced that the plan will
be a success, and Is willing to do every
thing he can to make It so.
Mr. Baker has made for himself a rep
utation as a wideawake, energetic theat
rical man, and the fact that he is to be
the guiding spirit of the new organization
is assurance that it will not languish for
lack of enterprise. Mr. Helllg, as tho
manager of the leading theater In Port
land and the representative of the the
atrical syndicate, lends the project great
strength, and the combination of the
three men will make it win, if anything
can.
A studio for the painting and construc
tion of scenery has already been estab
lished at the Baker, and all productions
will be built to flt the plays. Mr. Neill
and Robert Morris, his stage manager, in
spected the theater yesterday, and ex
pressed themselves as well pleased with
the appointments of both stage and au
ditorium. SMITH AND NEILLBOXTONIGHT
Botk Men Have Finished Training:
aad Arc Waiting: for the Gong:.
Everything Is In readiness for the box
ing contest between Al Nelll and "Mys
terious" Billy Smith, which takes place
at the Exposition building tonight. Active
training ceased yesterday, and the men
are anxiously awaiting for the gong to
sound as a starting signal. Both men
are in perfect condition and brim full of
confidence. In reply to a reporter's in
quiry last evening, Nelll made the fol
lowing statement: "I will step Into the
ring tomorrow night prepared to put up
the flght of my life. I realize that a vic
tory over Smith will give me a much bet
ter standing before the Eastern sports,
as they are of the opinion that Smith
cannot be defeated when in good condi
tion, as I understand he is at present.
Many peoplo think I am over-confident,
and that I miy be a bit careless, but I
assure you that I do not underrate ray
opponent, and will take no unnecessary
chances. I am going in with a deter
mination to win, and will set a pace too
fast for the 'old man to last over 15
rounds."
Smith is three pounds under the re
quired weight, and did little work yes
terday. A large number of admirers vis
ited his quarters, expecting to see the
usual spirited bouts between Smith and
his trainers, but they were disappointed,
as he had cut out the boxing, not wish
ing to take any chances on hurting his
hands.
When seen yesterday afternoon, Smith
said: "I am In better condition than
ever before. I have left no work un
done that would help my chances In the
contest, and I feel sure that I will win.
Nelll is a good man, but I think he has
overreached himself In making this
match, and that his ambition to become
a world's champion has made him reck
less. He Is young yet, and a defeat
will take a little of the swelling out of
his head."
The preliminary boxers are in good
trim, and some lively bouts are expect
ed. The first number on the programme,
the four-round go between Barrett and
Freeman, will commence at S:15 sharp,
after which there will be no delay. J
xne sporung pudiic is eninusiasuc over
the contest, and the largest attendance
ever seen at a boxing match in the
Northwest Is assured. Messrs. Day and
Grant have done everything possible for
the comfort and convenience of the spec
tators. The steam heat will be turned
on at 4 o'clock this afternoon, and the
building will be kept thoroughly heated
throughout the evening.
BOHEMIANS FOR OREGON.
Colony of 300 Families Coming- Oat
From Nebraska.
S. P. Kashreret, who is acting as the
agent for a colony of 300 Bohemian fam
ilies now located In Nebraska, is on his
way to Oregon to examine the Deschutes
Valley with reference to Its availability
as homes for the people he represents. He
is accompanied by an irrigation engineer,
and they will personally Inspect the coun
try and gather data that will determine
whether these Bohemians will move to
Oregon or not. Mr. Kashreret and his
engineer have been looking ever several
sections in Wyoming and Idaho, but they
are not yet entirely suited with what they
have found. The Boise Valley of Idaho
comes nearer meeting their Ideas of what
they should have than any other region
yet visited. Their attention has been
drawn to the Deschutes country, however,
and they wish to examine It before recom
mending a locality for their people.
These people have had several years' ex
perience with Nebraska, which was rep
resented to them as a state of Inexhaust
ible fertility, needing no artificial water
ing to make it fruitful. Now they are
desirous of trying land that does need lr
rix&tfon. Tfeav believe they can eel bet
ter results from it. They have consider
able means and wish to devise and pro
vide their own Irrigation facilities. If
they And the country to be suitable they
will secure a large tract of land and lo
cate tho whole colony upon It and begin
Improvements at once. The prospect of
getting a railroad through the valley this
year encourages them to Immediate ac
tion. This will be no socialist community. The
peoplo will hold their property In sever
alty, and each manage his holdings as he
pleases and take the reward of his own
industry. But they are people of con.
genial tastes and, moreover, they are
frugal and Industrious. By having their
own countrymen as neighbors and co
workers they expect to find life in the
new country pleasanter than It would bo
among strangers, however well disposed
they might be. This will contribute to
contentment and prosperity. It Is esti
mated that there areabout 1000 persons In.
the colony looking for a home In the Val
ley of the Deschutes. They will probably
move West before the end of this year.
PIEDMONT PLANT COST $30,000
Its Ovraers Want to Sell, bat Ifsme
No Price.
The Piedmont water plant, which has
been offered for sale to the Portland Wa
ter Committee by the "Investment Com
pany," through E. Quackenbush, cost
$30,000. The pipes laid measure about 10
miles In length, and arc of all sizes, from
1-lnch upward. The capacity of the
plant Is four to six times the present re
quirements. In his proposition to the water commit
tee Mr. Quackenbush says: "Being aware
that the committee contemplates the pur
chase of some, and probably all of the
water plants In Northeast Portland, we
submit the Piedmont plant for your con
sideration. We mention ao price, as some
of the property is valueless to you, and
this can only be determined after con
sultation and examination. The situation
places us almost wholly in your hands,
but we confidently rely on your sense of
justice In the premises. The excellence
of the Piedmont water justifies the peo
ple ui'ng it in asking for the same or
an equivalent, which they believe Is only
to be found in Bull Run."
The matter Is now in the hands of the
operating committee, which will inves
tigate and report, probably naming a
price to be offered for the plant.
