THE OREGONIAN'S HANDBOOK.
The Oregonlan'a Handbook tells all about
Portland, the entire Columbia River watershed
and the 1905 "World's Fair, commemorative of
the Lewis and Clark expedition to Oregon. The
book contains over 150 handsome Illustrations,
and It is printed on enameled book paper. It
will be mailed to any address In the United
States or Canada for cents a copy.
Another Victim op Splitting Kin
dlings. Yesterday another citizen called
at The Oregonlan office with what Js left
of his right thumb In a cot, made of the
finger of a kid glove. "Regular thing, I
suppose splitting kindlings?" queried the
accident reporter, -who has for years been
adding line to line and precept to precept,
in endeavoring to teach married men the
propriety of having their wives trained to
split the kindlings, and whose stock of
patience In dealing with men who will
continue to split kindlings is about ex
hausted. "I'll tell you how It happened,"
said the victim, apologetically. "We had
an old hatchet for splitting kindlings,
which was so dull that it wouldn't cut
Gutter unless It was red hot The other
morning, as I was coming down town, 1
met an Italian with a grindstone, and
rings In his ears." "Which of his ears
was the grindstone In?" asked the re
porter, who was beginning to get inter
ested In the story. "Oh, you know what
I mean," went on the man minus his
thumb. "I thought it would be a good
chance to get the hatchet sharpened, and
bargained with the Italian to go to the
house and grind It, and gave him a note
to my wife telling her to pay 15 cents
when the hatchet was sharp. "When he
reached the house my wife had lain down
to take a nap, not feeling well. The
Italian rang the bell, and she did not re
spond. He kept ringing till the battery
was exhausted, and when I went home to
lunch he was sitting on the steps, wait
ing for something to turn up. I got him
the hatchet, and he ground it in fine style,
took the 15 cents, and departed, earrings,
grindstone and all. The next morning I
went to split some kindlings splitting
kindlings Is the only kind of work I really
enjoy and I forgot all about the hatchet
having been ground, and about the sec
ond blow struck I sliced off the end of
my thumb as a cook slices a carrot." He
then asked to have a copy of the Scrip
tures brought, and a Patent Office report
was brought him, and In the presence of
the entire force he-took a solemn and Ir
revocable oath that he would never again
split any kindlings, and now the job is
up to the wife, to whom the work prop
erly belongs. Next!
High Piuces for Farm Products.
"Farmers ought to be wearing diamonds
now," said a commission merchant yes
terday. "Just look at the Drlces they
have been getting for everything for the
past three years. True, wheat Is not high,
but hay, oata, apples, potatoes, onions,
butter and eggs have all brought top
iotch prices. Eggs are beginning to de
cline In price, but butter still holds up.
The stock in cold storage has been ex
hausted all over the Coast, and all the
butter sol now is fresh from the churn,
and there is not enough to supply the de
mand. A great many fresh cows are com
ing in, and as soon as the grass starts,
butter will take a tumble, in pursuit of
eggs, as there Is a strong affinity be
tween them. Potatoes and onions are not
likely to climb so high again as they
were, for too many have been held back.
Housekeepers can stand a slight reduc
tion In the prices of all sorts of farm
produce, as they are weary of paying
high prices for everything edible."
Chicken Here, Lamb on the Way.
Persons of delicate or fastidious appetite
have been longing for the arrival In mar
ket of Spring chickens, suitable for broil
ing, and for Spring lamb. The broilers
have arrived, and can be had at some
thing over $1 per pair, and the lamb is
coming. An Eastern Oregon sheepgrower
is anxious to find a purchaser for 100
young lambs, weighing: 50 pounds each,
live weight, for which he wants to get $3
each. The public can stand any reason
able price for Spring lamb enough for a
meal or two but after that most people
will prefer to wait till the lambs are
larger and the price smaller. Beef, mut
ton and pork have frdm long use become
monotonous, and a change is needed.
Lessons of the -Albers Fire. "The
Albers fire Is a caution to business men,"
said Chief Campbell, of the Fire Depart
ment, yesterday. "It taught the need of a
flreboat, to be sure, but It taught some
thing else, too. That something else Is the
danger from obstructing windows In busi
ness houses. In order to give firemen
ready access to a building, goods should
be so piled as to leave an open space
wherein firemen may move about readily.
In the Albers mill grain and flour sacks
were piled compactly on all floors. Sev
eral ineffective attempts with ladders
were made to get to the inside of the up
per stories. At Corbett. Failings & Robert
son's fire our men were much hampered
in the same way."
South Portland Republican Rally.
The Young Men's Republican Club of
South Portland Is making preparations
for a rally, which will be held in Terwil
llger's Hall Thursday evening, March 6.
The committee in charge is sparing no ef
forts to make the rally a great success.'
Excellent musical talent has been se
cured, and the hall will be well lighted
and tastefully decorated for the occasion.
Addresses will be delivered by Mayor H.
S. Rowe, Wallace McCamant, City Au
ditor T. C. Devlin. City Treasurer J. E.
"Werlein and City Engineer W. B. Chase.
An orchestra has been engaged, and there
will be vocal and Instrumental selections.,
including numbers on the bagpipe.
Morrell Not Guilty of Assault. The
aftermath of an altercation which took
place in a Pullman car at the Terminal
yards last Monday morning came up at
the Municipal Court yesterday, when Jo
seph Friedman accused George Morrell of
assaulting him. The evidence was that
both men got into a dispute over the ven
tilation of a car. Friedman insisted that
Morrell struck him first, with a stick.
"You began the trouble, and struck me
first I had to defend myself," was the
kernel of Morrell's testimony. Municipal
Judge Cameron decided that there was no
evidence against Morrell, and discharged
him.
Want Land Surveys Made. Surveyor
General Hurlburt continues to receive nu
merous applications for the survey of pub
lic lands from people who are anxious to
locate on them. At the rate such applica
tions have been coming In of late. If It
were possible to secure the necessary ap
propriations, all the public lands in the
state could be surveyed within the next
three or four years.
Small Chimney Blaze. There was a
small chimney blaze last evening in a
house on the northeast corner of Park
and Washington streets. The Fire De
partment was summoned, but the flames
were extinguished before the engines ar
rived. .

Lull in Building "Work. For several
days the weather has been very unfavor
able for building purposes, and on many
jobs work has been entirely suspended.
The men employed In the construction qf
the temporary one-story building for the
Failing estate, at Fifth and Yamhill,
have, however, kept at work most of the
time. Mortar has been mixed and brick
laid when there was no use for a hose
in the business. The rear and end walls
are nearly up, and as the north and west
fronts are to be mostly of glas, the roof
will soon be under way. Work was shut
down on the excavation for the George
Lawrence Company's building at First
and Oak streets yesterday. Contractor
Joplln has not yet spread his canvas awn
ing over the lot, and In the center of the
excavation made there was a miniature
lake. Around the edges of the ground a
number of men were at work in the rain,
clearing off the last of the brick from the
old buildings. Others were completing the
construction of piers under the walls of
the adjoining buildings. A few fine days
will enable the excavation to be com
pleted, so that work can be begun on the
foundation and basement walls.
Hard on the Organist. The blind man
who plays a little hand-organ on various
corners along Third street, to cheer the
passing throng, finds rainy weather un
favorable for his business, as people with
coats buttoned up and struggling with
umbrellas cannot conveniently get at their
small change; and so his contribution-box
remains a sort of aching void. He sticks
to his post, however, and yesterday, when
the wind was whirling gusts of rain in
every direction, he snuggled under his
big umbrella, which shelters him from
Summer's heat and Winter's wet, and
ground out "The Sidewalks of New York"
with such a delicate touch and perfect
technique that one could see the passers
swaying In time with the notes of "East
Side, West Side, all around the town; tne
kids played ring-a-rosy, London bridge Is
falling down," etc. When the clouds
roll by and the sun shines out again, the
dimes and nickels will just pour Into the
old man's box.
For Elks Grand Lodge Convention.
A committee was appointed by the Port
land Lodge, Elks, last evening, to be
known as the Salt Lake City entertain
ment committee, composed of the follow
ing: C. A. Malarkey, chairman; Ralph
W. Hoyt, treasurer: John F. Olsen. secre
tary, and F. A. Heltkemper, B. B. Rich,
D. J. Caswell, Captain C. E. McDonell
and Henry D. Griffin. The duty of the
committee is to organize all the Elks in
the state, to participate at the meeting
of the grand lodge In Salt Lake City, Utah,
August 12, 13 and 14. It is the object of
Portland Lodge to have as many members
of the Elks attend their grand lodge con
vention as possible, and Portland desires
to go before the grand lodge, to obtain
the convention In 1305, during the Lewis
and Clark Exposition. All the Elks lodges
In the state will be Invited to join the
delegation, and the railroads have prom
ised a. special reduced rate.
Preparing for Primary Election. In
the County Clerk's office preparations are
being made to secure supplies for the elec
tion. Clerk Swetland said yesterday that
the contract for printing the ballots will
be awarded two days before the election,
or immediately after the last ticket Is
filed. Under the law all political parties
which cast 5 per cent of the vote at the
last ger.eral election may file their lists
of candidates at any time prior to the
fourth day before primary day; Indepen
dent tickets may be filed up to two days
before the election. Mr. Swetland" has re
ceived a letter from the Democratic coun
ty and city committee, asking whether he
Intends to place the candidates on the bal
lot by wards or by precincts. Mr. Swet
land will refer the letter to District At
torney Chamberlain, and will not return
any answer until he receives his opinion.
Joe Goggins Gets Six. Months. Joseph
Gogglns, well known around town as the
dean of the hobo corps at the rock pile,
and for his efficient work as janitor at
the City Jail, again faced Municipal
Judge Cameron yesterday, charged with
the larceny of a coat, a vest and a car
penter's rule, valued at one dime, from
John Mclntyre. "01 am guilty, sor," said
Gogglns, when tho complaint was read.
"You have been In this court too often,"
remarked the Judge. "This time your,
sentence will be six months in the County
Jail." Gogglns jaw fell. He had ex
pected a month's job In the City Jail,
cleaning corridors, etc, as of yore, and
breathing fresh air when he liked and
being fed at the taxpayers' expense.
New Charter Goes to Printer. The
revision committee of the Charter Board
met yesterday. It discussed arrange
ments for publishing the instrument In
pamphlet form. About half of the char
ter is in copy for the printer. This will
go to the printer today. Clerk Reed will
finish the other half as soon as possible.
The early appointment of primary day
has almost disarranged the plans for pub
lishing the charter. It was the intention
to have the pamphlets out before the pri
maries, but this Is now regarded as almost
Impossible. However, the printer will be
put under high pressure in an attempt to
get ahead of the primaries. The cost of
printing will amount to about 5750.
Sewer Repair Abandoned. The repair
of the broken sewer on Couch street, be
tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth, men
tioned a few days ago, has been aban
doned. It was so deep in the ground, and
so badly broken by the settlement of the
fill on which It was built, that It was
found It would cost more to repair It than
to build a new one. The City Engineer
has, therefore, decided to abandon that
.block of sewer, and will construct one
on Fifteenth street, from Couch to Burn
side, to take its place. The sewer will
connect with the Canyon CreeTc brick sew
er, and will be built nearly all the way
on solid ground.
Waiters' Campaign of Persuasion.
The "Waiters' Alliance reports that It Is
making satisfactory progress against non
union sentiment. Pickets are doing ser
vice at nonunion restaurants, and taking
descriptions and names of frequent pat
rons of the establishments.. A committee
of the waiters visits these persons when
they habitually go Into nonunion estab
lishments. "We never affront them,"
said the president of the alliance yester
day. "By courtesy we almost always
succeed In persuading them to our point
of view." Cameras have not been of
much service lately, because of dark days.
Socialist Club Organized. A Socialist
Club was organized In Upper Alblna last
night, with a membership of 20. A. Miller
was elected chairman. A great deal of
enthusiasm wa3 displayed, and the chair
man said that within a few weeks the
membership will be Increased to 50 or 100.
He also stated that clubs will be organ
ized In every ward In the city, and that
full city, county and state tickets will be
nominated for the June election. The
county ticket will be nominated at an as
sembly of electors which will be held on
March 5, and the state ticket at an as
sembly on March 19.
Butter Must Be Full Weight. Food
and Dairy Commissioner Bailey is going
after short-weight butter hard next week.
He says that the plea of shrinkage will
not excite his compassion. Neither will
the plea of Ignorance of the law. The law
permits only 14 per cent of water In but
ter. The usual content of water Is 11 and
12 per cent.
Charged With Threats to Kill. A
complaint was served yesterday on two
members of the Italian colony, Nicola Dl
cesore and Giovanni Dlcesore, accusing
them of having threatened the life of G.
Torantinl, by saying to him that they
would kill him by shooting him at Eight.
The case will probably be heard in the
Municipal Court today.

list of the 24 teachers that passed the re

Miss Marion Schneider was Inadvertently
omitted. . ,

G00DAD.F0RDR.W.A.WISE
STATE DEXTAIi SOCIETY EXPELS
HIM FROM MEMBERSHIP.
He Advertises, itad Pays for It, shiI
"EtblcH" Are Dead Asalmt
That Sort of Thing-.
The executive committee of the Oregon
State Dental Society, at a meeting held
at noon yesterday, expelled Dr. "W. A.
Wise from membership in the organiza
tion. Tho ground of the expulsion was
that Dr. Wise had violated the rules of
the society prohibiting advertising by any
of its members. The committeemen pres
ent at the meeting were: Dr. Norrls R.
Cox. chairman, and Drs. C. R. Templeton,
W. A. Cumming, John Welch, J. R. Card
well, J. Cllne and G. H. Nottage.
Dr. Wise departed from the ethics of the
society in relation to advertising about
the first of the year. At that time he
announced that he would endeavor to in
crease his business by the use of printers'
ink, and his advertisements occupied con
spicuous places In the dally papers. He

t A FAIR DAY'S RECORD
The registration yesterday
numbered 458. The office Is
now open dally from 8 o'clock
A. M. until 9 P. M., without
Interruption. The people who
called yesterday comprised an
eminently respectable class of
citizens. Among those who
registered was Hon. H. "W.
Corbett. The force of clerks
is large enough to accommo
date several hundred more
persons each day. The clerks
are bothered more or less by
people who do not know the
exact location of their resi
dences. They know the num
ber and street, but don't know
between what streets It is, and
the registration clerks have
difficulty in placing such per
sons In their proper precincts.
People who cannot describe
their residences accurately
should find out where they
live.
Be sure to turn out today.
also announced that he had tendered his
resignation as a member of the society,
so that he would be at liberty to do
whatever he pleased In the line of legiti
mate advertising.
r When Dr. Wise's resignation was
brought up for discussion, the committee
held that It had not been received until
after the rules had been violated, and
refused to accept it. A motion to expel
the doctor was then made, and was car
ried. The vote was not given out. It was
moved that a petition be circulated, ask
ing Dr. Wise's removal from the State
Board of Dental Examiners, of which he
Is a member, but no action was taken.
The committee recommended three den
tists Drs. E. P. Mossman, J. Cline and
W. A. Cumming, all of Portland to Gov
ernor Geer as fit persons to succeed Dr.
G. S. Wright, of McMInnvllle, as member
of the State Board of Dental Examiners.
Dr. Wright's term will expire March 1.
and the committee asks that one of the
three it recommended be appointed to
succeed him.
Dr. Wise, when seen In regard to the
action of the committee, said he had not
expected it. He had thought that his res
ignation, which he had tendered before
he began advertising, would be accepted,
but at the same time the expulsion would
not affect him In any way. He was of
the opinion, he said, that the dentist had
as much right to the benefits of legitimate
advertising as the druggist, the grocer or
the dry goods dealer. Since advertising
his receipts had doubled. In December
they amounted to about $1000, and In Jan
uary, his first month in print, they ex
ceeded 52000. His business, he said, is in
creasing steadily, and he will continue to
use the papers as advertising mediums.
"UNCLE TOM'S CABIN."
Ever Popular Play Delights Bis
IIonHe at the Baker.
"Uncle Tom's Cabin," with Topsy and
Marks duplicated and other emendations
and additions to the original play, did a
rousing business at the Baker, Theater last
night, and, Judging from the unanimous
enthusiasm with which It was received,
will do the same thing the rest of the
week. While various and sundry side
lines, such as coon quartets and ladles'
choruses have been Introduced, the story
has been left pretty much as It was in
tho original dramatization, and the ex
citement of Eliza crossing the Ice, the
affecting death of Little Eva, the Inhu
man cruelty of Legrce and the cheerfulL
ness of Marks (there are two of them In
this show) are all there to extract first
tears and then laughter from the house.
Two Topsys make life a burden for Miss
Ophelia, and serve to make that lady's
troubles real Indeed. Phineas Fletcher be
comes a Quaker and a comedian at the
same time In the old orthodox fashion,
and everything Is as usual, hence the
ease with which tho drama called forth
tumultuous manifestations of heart in
terest. The new features consist of some very
good singing and dancing, the same being
done by genuine darkles, whose appear
ance Is indicative of anything, but abject
slavery. Applause for these features and
the singing of little Eva was as liberal as
for the Incidents In the real drama. Tho
company, including the bloodhounds, is
all up to standard, and the performance
altogether Is the best of Its kind that has
been seen In Portland for many a long
session. It will run until Sunday night.
"LA TOSCA" TOXIGHT.
Melbourne MacDovrell and Floreace
Stone at the Marquam.
Tonight and tomorrow night "La Tos
ca," Sardou's most powerful story, with
Melbourne MacDowell and Florence Stone
in the principal roles, will be the attrac
tion ut the Marquam Grand Theater. The
story of the play is well known, and Is
conceded to be the strongest that the
great French playwright ever conceived.
It has been seen In Portland several times,
first with Mr. MacDowell and his late
wife, Fanny Davenport, in the principal
roles, later with Blanche Walsh in the
role of Flora Tosca, On the present tour
Florence Stone will be seen In the title
role and that Mr. MacDowell has been
particularly fortunate in secdrlng a
woman of unusual ability Is attested by
the press of tho entire country, which
unanimously pronounces Miss Stone's
portrayal of the difficult role as being
equal to that of her predecessors.
Mr. MacDowell will be seen as Scarpla,
a part which he created and has played
so successfully throughout the several
seasons that the play has been seen In
this country. After 16 years spent In
appearing in Sardou's plays Mr. Mac
Dowell will at the close of the present
season abandon the works of the French
artist, and next season will be seen In
an elaborate production of a new play en
titled "The Tiger's Eye,'.' which will have
Its Initial presentation In San Francisco
during the actor's coming engagement In

Staggered the Custom-House Man.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27. Mrs. Arabella
D. Huntington, widow of Collls P. Hunt
ington, has paid $31,800 In cash as customs
duty. Officials who frequently have to
haggle with women over the tribute to
Uncle Sam declared that she was a para,
gon of travelers.
Mrs. Huntington, who returned from a
trip to Europe on the Oceanic with her
son, Archer HuntlngtOD,. and Mrs. Archer
Huntington, staggered the young man
who, as acting deputy Collector, asked her
to make a declaration of her purchases
abroad. It was on board the steamer
coming up the bay. Young Huntington
had the list carefully prepared. The sum
total of his mother's purchases abroad
was $75,000 the largest amount ever de
clared by a traveler in the port of New
York, and probably in the world. The
duty was also the largest ever paid.
There was a score of large flat trunks
containing rich gowns bought In Paris,
London and Berlin. Most of the tax paid
by Mrs. Huntington was 60 per cent on
made-up gowns of linen, silk and woolen.
There was a large amount of Jewelry and
precious stones on which she paid 60 per
cent.. On a lot of perfumery 60 per cent
ad valorem wag paid. Her rugs were
taxed at 10 cent per square foot and 40
per cent of their value.
City Relieved of Responsibility.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Feb. 27. By a
decision of the Court of Civil Appeals,
the City of Galveston Is relieved of re
sponsibility for private property seized
for public purposes during tho storm of
1900. The decision Is of great Importance
to the city, as following the storm prop
erty of considerable value was pressed
into public service by te city authorities,
and If the city were financially responsi
ble for the same an obligation would be
created which would cost the stricken city
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In the case in point a pair of horses
belonging to A. A. Brown were seized
by the Mayor and Chief of Police and
were driven until one died. Brown sued
for $200, the alleged value, and the lower
court found for him. The Court of Ap
peals finds that the seizure was without
authority of the City Council and that
the city is not liable.

HAIR SOFT AS SILK.
KeTV Scientific Treatment Kills Dan
draff Germs, and Makes Hair Soit.
It Is an accepted fact, a proven fact,
that dandruff is a germ disease; and It
Is alsova demonstrated fact that Newbro's
Herplclde kills the dandruff germ. With
out dandruff falling hair will stop, and
thin hair will thicken. Herplclde not only
kills the dandruff germ, but It also makes
hair as soft as silk. It Is the most de
lightful hair dressing made. It cleanses
the scalp from dandruff and keeps it
clean and healthy. Itching and Irrita
tion are Instantly relieved, and perma
nently cured. At all druggists. There's
nothing "Just as good." Take no substi
tute. Ask for "Herplclde."
