Te Oreconlan's Handbook tells all about Portland, the entire Columbia River watershed and the 1005 World's Fair, commemorate e ot the Lewis and Clark expedition to Oregon. The book contains over 150 handsome Illustrations, and it Is printed on ennmeled book paper. It will be mailed to any address In the United States or Canada for 7 cents a copy. William Woods and the fC0 WHllarn Woods, who Is supposed to be a relative -f Dusty Rhodes and the whole family of Wandering Willies, was arraigned be fore United States Commissioner Sladen -.estcrday for examination on a charge of having forged a postal order for $60. The f irgory was committed in July last, but the postal authorities had not been able to find him to ask for an explanation until now. Postal Inspector Sloan having Just captured him. Woods, while on a. regular tour, found himself in The Dalles in July, and called at the postofflcc to see If, by any chance, any one might have written a letter to him. He received a letter in tended for another William Woods, a re spected citizen of The Dalles, and in open ing it found therein a postal order for ICO. He could not have Imagined that It was intended for him, but he needed it, and so Indorsed the name of the other William Woods on It and received the money from a saloon-keeper and then d sappeared. leaving his victim to make the amount good to the postoffice. On nis examination Wood displayed the ready wit and aptness at repartee of the end man in a minstrel show. He acknowl edged that ha had been In jail in Portland tv.ice. "once for being out.a little late at night and once in respect of a hat" He acknowledged having received the let ter, but said he supposed It was for him, as he had loaned a man at Baker City $1S0. He could not remember the name of this man, but he had been expecting a letter from him. When asked what be came of the letter, he said he did not know. He swapped clothes with a friend soon after securing the money, and the letter, with other papers belonging to him, remained Jn the suit he parted with. He asked for time to prepare his de fense, and as the United States grand Jury convenes on Monday next Commis sioner Sladen continued his examination till next Saturday. Spuing Floweiis in Bloom. Notwith standing the freakish weather of late, vegetation keeps progressing at about the same rate as usual. All the Spring flowers are. in bloom and many flowering shrubs and fruit trees. Magnolia trees are com ing out, and lilacs and the maples o;i the streets are about ready to blossom. The most magnificent display of flowers seen so far is made by a number of camella "trees" in the grounds of Mr. Miller, at the head of Jefferson street There are half a dozen or more of these trees, some of them eight feet high, on which are hundreds of beautiful white and pink blossoms, while the ground beneath Is covered with fallen blooms. The trees were once in a hothouse, but are now growing In the open air without protec tion of any kind. It Is not many years since a camella blossom was considered a scarce and beautiful thing, and florists used to get 50 cents each for them, and would force them to open by artificial means and adjust a wire stem to them. It was probably in those days that the song. "In Her Hair She Wore a White Camella" was written. If camella blos soms were worth 50 cents each now, Mr. Miller's trees would produce a small for tune every year. Charged With Stealing a. Pima Charles Ivie, 13 years old, of Woodlawn, was arrested yesterday, charged with the larceny of a purse containing $1 75, the property of Mrs. S. A. Whelan, who was visiting a Woodlawn school. The police state that the purse, with Its contents, was missed from the school, where the boy is a pupil, and that shortly afterward he was discovered with money In his pos session, which he could not satisfactorily account for. At first the boy said his father gave him a sum of money, and this was found out to be untrue. The cape is being investigated by Special Of ficer Hawley, of the Boys' and Girls' Aid, Society. The boy denies having -taken" the money. Singer in Trouble. Henry Constan t'ne, a well-known female impersonator in saloons and concert halls around town, was arrested yesterday morning by Po liceman Hogeboom, in a Couch-street sa loon, charged with stealing about $20 from a drunken sailor, Gus Llndstrom. The latter was on his way to join his 6hip, .when he stepped into the Couch-street saloon to have what he called "a sociable drink," with the result stated. Llndstrom was taken to the police station as a witness, and he had then about $15 in his possession, but he was afterward re leased. Constantlne "denies the charge. Bartenders Elect Officers.

If one of the seven. off efe for the purchase of Trinity Church- property, at Sixth and Oak streets, be accepted within the next week or 10 days, the congregation will undoubtedly build a new stone church on the lot owned by th6 corporation on Washington -street between Seven teenth and Elghtenth. The insur ance on the Jbtortfed church. property has now been adjusted, slightly over $9000 having been received. The- church roanag ers .will not discuss from whom Jhe offers to buy the church property have been re- celved. but admit that several proposals to buy are tinder -consideration. The present site of the church Is a valuable one. with frontages on Sixth. Oak and Fifth streets, and real estate men' have recently valued the property at about $75, 000, and even a slightly higher figure, .If any one of the proposals to buy is ac cepted thj? news will be received wlh general satisfaction by the congregation, as the majority ol then! dislike the loca tion and say It is too far down town. If It Is determined to proceed with the build ing of the new church building, Trinity Church people will undoubtedly continue to worship in the armory of the Bishop Scott Academy, as at present. Motorman Not to BLAM&n-The Coroner conducted an inquest, yesterday, into the clrcunwtnncco relating to the death of Marie Ettd McPhcrson, 8 years old, 271 Russell street, who was killed Saturday by being run over by a freight trolley car on Union avenue, near Riisaell street The Jury decided that the girl had died from injuries accidentally received; and that Motorman H.' A. Circle was not to blame, and that he had exercised duo care. Laura Schwabauer,. Edward Schwabauer and Timma Swartz, three playmates of the dead little girl, testified as to the accident, and said that she had visited a store to buy candy. Emma Schwabauer stated thnt sho cried, "Don't!" when she saw the McPherson girl attempt to cross the street before the advancing trolley car. The little girl had a skipping rope in her pocket, and the other children did not know why she crossed the street so suddenly. The lit tle girl's body will be taken at 11 o'clock this morning from Holman's undertaking parlors to Vancouver, Wash., where funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock P. M.. at the Odd Fellows' Hall there. Interment will take placo at Vancouver, where the little girl formerly resided. Dental Tear About to Close. This week will practically complete the' year's wofk at the North Pacific Dental Col lege. The year just post has been the most satisfactory" In the history of the school, both as regards the nature of the worW and the attendance. This Institu tion was formerly located at lacoma, and known as the Tacoma College of Dental Surgery. Three years Ago it w&s moved to Portland and since that time Its prog ress has been marked. The number of graduates for the fltst year was five, for the second year .10. and this 3ear they will number 4L The students have orga nized themselves Into a body, known as the "Students' Association of tbe North Pacific Dental College," which cbnslsts of about 120 members. Following are the of ficers of the association: President. D. Bruce Stuart; vice-president, Frank W. Hergert; secretary. William Barlow; treasurer. Miss Jennie Lynch; sergeant-'at-arms, John O'Connor; assistant ser-geant-at-arms, William Good. TnounLESOM& Cows. The antics of cows owned by Robert and Louise ICuhn, of Midway, formed the subject of further in vestigation yesterday before Municipal Judge Cameron, when charges were cbn sldered that the Kuhns had allowed the anlmalB to run at large, lni defiance of city ordinances governing the behavior of cattle. The Kuhns lawyers argued that their clients ought to be discharged with out any evidence being heard from the defense, on the ground that the cows complained of were milch cows favored animals in the ordinance and because 1$ was not shown In the complaint that the cows referred to were actually owned by Robert Kuhn- and wife. The Judge sus tained the demurred, on the points raised by the defense, and granted further time so that another complaint can be drawn up by Deputy City Attorney, Davis. Walks Do Not Look Familiar. The removal of so many obstructions from the sidewalks within the past fow days makes old-timers feel as if they were In a strange city. It will take time for old residents to become accustomed to getting about without climbing bicycle racks or tumbling over rocking signs, or breaking their shins over advertising contraptions. There are, however, still a few of the nuisances remaining, where one man will not remove his pet obstruction, and his neighbor will not remove his because the other fellow doesh't These cases will all be attended to in a few days. In a num ber of places property-owners have given the street railway companies permission to fasten the wires for supporting trolley lines to the fronts of buildings, thus doing away with many poles on the streets. WinJRE Is This Old Soldier. Post master Croasman has been asked by the Treasury Department to endeavor to as certain the whereabouts of Jobn Zepf. who was a resident of Portland In 1B72 and filed a claim for pay and bounty al leged to be due him as private of Com pany G, Eighth New York Volunteers, and Company H, Fiftehth New York Heavy Artillery." He was certified as the soldier by Peter Kubler and H. Vaxwlg, of this city. The claimant's present ad dress Is desired, or it he be dead, the name and address of his next of kin. Any one knowing either will confer a favor by notifying Postmaster Croasman of the same. Work Mat Bdoct at Last. The bond of the contractors for the improvement of Fourth street with treated wood blocks has been approved by the City Attorney. A copy of the ordinance passed by the Council last Saturday requiring the right of way of the Southern Pacific Company on that street to be paved with treated wood blocks has been presented to the company, with the specifications for the work. As far as known, there js now nothing In the way of the work of im proving the street being commenced at once. Some, at least of the present generation, tvIH probably live to see the Improvement completed. Brisk Tikes in Logging Camps. Log ging has been going on briskly of late in the camps down the Columbia. At Bunker Hill and Benson's Landing 250. 000 feet per day have been put in the river, and the man who scales them has been kept on the jump. The bad weather 'yesterday gave the superintendents of several of the camps a chance to come to the city for a day or two, the first time for several weeks. Insane Man From Alaska L. L.

"ARIZONA" A FINE PLAY LARGE AUDIEXCE WITNESSES A SPLENDID PRODUCTION. Strong: "Situations, Brljrht Comedy and Attractive Stasco Picture Are the Principal Features. Whether or not "Arizona" ,1s an accu rate picture of' life in the state for which it Is named will need no argument before a Jury composed of people who witnessed Its presentation by a splendid company at the Marquam last night It is a fine play, a mingling of powerful situations, intense feeling and wonderfully bright and allur ing comedy, and It Is a play, not a work on the manners and customs of a certain section of the country that people go to the theater to see. The old cattleman did not use the same language as the .citizens of Wolfvllle, and he was not as simple to work as a Winchester, but what he said was- certainly brief and exceedingly to the point, and he looked as mach like an old cattleman as If he had sprung panoplied from the brush of Frederic Remington. The vaquero. too, was a character study that ought to belong to Arizona, if it doesn't and the Chinese servant was a feature of Western life not entirely con fined to the cattle'coUntry. and for him one may safely vouch. For the rest they are JUst soldiers and women, both of which are tolerably familiar to the peo ple of every land and clime, and the things they do and the things they say, while not exactly ordinary, are quite pos sible and wholly Interesting. The story of the play begins with the beginning of the first act Augustus Thomas Is not a playwright who is given to interrupting a narrative with side steps Into metaphysics or morality. Es trella Bonham and Bonlta Canby are the daughters of a man who sells beef cat tle to the Government Estrelli Is mar ried to the Colonel commanding an Army post Bonlta Is loved by Lieutenant Den ton, of his command. Captain Hodge man, also stationed at the post, alien ates the affections of his Colonel's wife, and is about to elope with her, when Den ton, discovering his plans, stops them as they are -making their preparations for flight The Colonel returns, finds Denton in his house, has him searched and dis covers on him his wife's Jewels, which he has taken from Hodgeman. Denton Is a gentleman. He wlU not tell what he knows of the plot because of ,Mrs. Bon ham, and, resigning, finds employment as major domo of the Canby ranch. When the regiment his old regiment march through on their way to Cuba, Hodge man tells old Canby and his daughter that Denton has been forced to resign. A yaquero, whose love has been another victim of the blackguard, happens in just as Denton is about to square things with Hodgeman,, and without words uses his plstoh Denton's gun,, clutched convul sively In his start toward the Captain. Is discharged, and Hodgeman, in a last craven attempt to get even, accuses the Lieutenant of killing him. There is a trial and of course an acquittal, for the bullet is taken from Hodgeman's dead body and found to be of smaller caliber than Denton's pistol. The vaquero, to save his sweetheart, who is about to be accused of the crime, steps forward, says, "I shot him," and escapes with as much coolness as he did the murder. Mrs. Bon ham, who has accompanied her husband to the ranch, then takes a hand in the game, tells the story of her Infatuation, and endeavors to convince the old Colonel that she loves him, but the shock is too great for him to bear, and he gives the girl to her father's keeping, and say ing, 'Vhen I come back," disappears out of the gate as the last curtain falls. The honors last evening, and there were abundance for every one, fell in large measure to John W. Cope, whose portrayal of the part of old Canby was such as to convince every one beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was as real as Ifjie had juEt ridden in out of the sagebrush. Thomas has given his best lines to the character, and not one them went amiss In his care. Frank Campeau, whose brilliant acting of the part of Tom Drlscoll In "Pudd'nhead Wil son" Is so well remembered by the fre quenters of the Marqyam, had but a small part In the vaquero, but he did it so well as to raise him out of the play and stand blm on a pedestal all by him self. Campeau Is an artist In every In flection and gesture, and by long odds the best actor who has ever been seen in a minor part on a Portland stage. Franzer Coulter as the Colonel did an excellent piece of work, Dustln Farnam made a fine, manly Denton, Ben D. Deano was a Jovial post surgeon, Stanley Mur phy was as much like a real Chinese cook as the real thing, Dodson L. Mitch ell used a moderate dialect effectively as a German sergeant and the other men In the. cast were all that was necessary. Grace' Elllston, last seen here with Henry Miller, made a sweet and attract ive Bonlta, Grace Thome was an ad mirable Mrs. Bonham, and the remainder of the cast was unusually good. The play was magnificently staged and beau tifully costumed, not a detail being over looked. In point of picturesqucness It Is tho best thing that has been done hero this season. It will be repeated tonight and tomorrow night, and should play to big business. COMING ATTRACTIONS. Field's Minstrela. This morning at 10 o'clock the sale of seats for Al G. Field's minstrels will open. Next Thursday and Friday nights this or ganization will be the attraction at the Marquam. Grand Theater. Two very funny artists who have been engaged for the Al G. Feld greater min strels are Mullen and Vonder. These gen tlemen have scored most pronounced hits In all the large places of amusement In Europe, and the novelty they are produc ing with Mr. Field, entitled "The Celestial and the Celt," affords them rare opportu nity for the display of those grotesque talents which have made this clever duo famous In polite vaudeville. In addition to this wonderful mastery of the most difficult styles of original and tricky acro batics, they are comedians of unusual ability, and In their line of work have no equals. Their Vvery movement is most interesting, and It Is with regret the au dience permits them to leave the stage at tho expiration of their enjoyable per formance. "The DenveKExpresi." A- singularly effective melodrama, con taining many novel features, is promised in the coming production of Holden Bros. great sensational scenic play, "Denver Express," whfch will be at Cordray's The ater Wednesday night and the rest of the week. The train scene is most effective, the distant rumblo and whistle, the In creasing volume of sound as the train approaches rises to a clash and din that leaves the beholder to wonder how It is done, as the engine dashe3 past with the nell clanging, whistle shrieking and is gone as rapidly as a real 40-mIle-an-hour train. Shakespeare Comedy. Since the first performance of Shakes peare's "Taming of the Shrew," which occurred during the latter part of the 16th century, down to the present day, the comedy has ranked among the best ex amples of the immortal bard's lighter plays. The action begins at the rising of the curtain, and continues uninterrupt edly to the close of the final act, introduc ing wholesome and pleasing comedy, to which the most exacting critic could not object To those who have read "The Taming of the Shrew" the coming revival atJthe Marquam Grand Theater on next Saturday matinee and night will be a welcome announcement Mr. Charles B. Hanford, one of the most accomplished I of Shakespearean artists, will be seen ae Petruchlo. and Miss Helen Grantly, a young and handsome English , actress, as Katherlne. The rest of the company In- dudes a number of well-known ladles and gentlemen, who have won their spurs Jn Shakespearean comedy. The following are Included In the cast: Marie Drofnah Emma Hayner, William J. heaj Irving Knight P- A. Nannary, Harold Flske, Paul Anderson, R. O. Meech, L. W. Browning and Johp C Davis. Tke StHart Company. The announcement that the Ralph Stu art Company would ilay a protracted en gagement at the Baker has met with un bounded satisfaction from all classes of playgoers. The company Is said to be better than any of the road stock companies- which 4lay Portland, and when It Is, .known that such players as Lansing Rowan are in the support It wllf be itcn that it Is no ordinary attraction. "By Right of Sword," a most successful plaj will be the opening bill. "THE GIRL FROM PARIS." The programme at the. Fredericksburg .Music Hall this week is of characteristic, excellence.

Six Dollars a Month Will Secure Choice of Nearly Two Carloads. During tho coming week we wish to sell something like three carloads of the very best medium-grade pianos ever shown In Portland. They were regularly sold by another retail house for SS5 and $300 here tofore. These Instruments are greatly Im proved, and better made than they were when they were cold at the above-mentioned figures heretofore. In fact, we doubt very much as to whether a San Francisco branch store or a concern get ting Its pianos from San Francisco job bing - houses or on consignment from money brokers, could afford to sell them for less than $325 even now and make a living profit But we are going to sell these instruments during the coming week forlSS each, and the plainer styles for $173, and. to make It an object for you to take one of them quickly, we will sell you one on payment of $10 down and $6 a month. Remember the prices, $173 and $1S6, one and the same to all alike, no more will bo asked, no ks will be ac cepted; 3 per cent -off fop all cash, or $10 down and $6 a month, with interest on de ferred payments at 8 per cent per annum. we are sure you will not find a single one of these pianos on hand by the end of the week. Better come In at once and pick out the one you like beat. These pianos are fully warranted. They are cabinet grand pianos in mahogany, oak and walnut, full 7,1-3 octaves, and while we are willing to take $1S6 and $173 for them, rest assured they are In every way aa good and as valuable as tho In struments were heretofore, when sold for $300. It la not that ire are sclllnsf cheaper planes, bnt -we're selling: pianos cheaper. "We have told you how In conducting four leading, stores in four leading cities under one management we save money In buying large quantities of planOs; how we ave money In shipping them without boxes, how our store rents are less per piano Eold than any other dealer's, how. in fact, our selling expense is less by many dollars than other dealers or agents, large and small. That's how we can sell these pianos at these low figures now, and still say that we are standing back of every repre sentation that our salesmen make regard ing them. "Money back if not satisfied applies to these pianos, as well as to the highest-priced Chlckering. and Weber, and Kimball. See them early this week.
