THE QREGOXIAIS'S HANDBOOK.
) The Oregonlan's Handbook tells all about
Portland, the entire Columbia River watershed
and the ID05 World's Fair, commemorative ot
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 la the United
I States or Canada for 7 cents a copy.
Oh! "What a Dat! Of all the dreary,
dismal days of all the year, yesterday was
in this section about the worst. The sky
"was gloomy and lowering1 and heavy
showers fell at intervals-. It was cold, and
the wind was never weary, but It made
everybody weary and disgusted. Early
Tisers had the happiness of seeing the
hills west of town white with snow, and
"Were told that there was plenty of It out
In "Washington County. About 3 P". M.
there was a heavy storm of hail and
rain mixed which lasted some time, and
,when It ceased the sun shone out as
brightly as on a fine June day for a short
time. There was but little work going on
outside during the day. A dozen or two
men were cleaning old bricks on the Fail
ing property at Third and Morrison, some
hovering under rude temporary canvas
jShelters, and others "sitting it out" with
the elements. Several woodsplltters were
seen at work in their short sleeves, being
well fortified with Chinese gin and lost
to all sense of feeling or any kind of sense.
Large License Collections. The
amount collected for city licenses during
the first quarter of this year was 545,597,
which Is more than was collected In any
previous quarter. So far this quarter Li
cense Officer McEachern says people have
been very dilatory about taking out these
licenses, and that, although only today
and tomorrow remain in which to pay li
censes before they become delinquent,
only 515,191 85 less than one-third of the
amount received last quarter has been
paid in. The unpleasant weather has
probably had something to do with this
slowness in taking out licenses, as the
amount this quarter should exceed that
received last quarter, for there are some
eight or ten applications for new liquor
licenses, and only two or three are going
out of business on account of buildings
being torn down. Probably a penalty for
delinquency in the place of liability to ar
rest would have a good effect in causing
people to pay promptly.
Illegal Fishing Stopped. Illegal Ash
ing on the Lower Columbia has been
stopped, practically at lea6t, since April 1,
and the Clackamas and Willamette at Ore
gon City are so closely watched that the
poachers are not able to do any fishing
there. The Deputy "Wardens of Oregon
and Washington are keeping a bright look-
Out along the Columbia, so that the fel
lows ovho have been fishing have had to
abandon the business and take time to
get their gear in readiness for the season,
which opens April 15. Fishermen who
have been up from the Lower Columbia
every year of late catching all the fish
which might have reached the spawn
ing beds are going back empty handed.
IThey say there are two men watching the
Clackamas, and two watching the river
at Oregon City, and they could not fish
at all. It was not even safe to use a
sunken net, as when one went to lift it
there "was always some one on the watch.
Seamen's Institute "Worker Leaves.
I William Barr, for thre years one of the
principal assistants at the Seamen's In
stitute, leaves this evening for New York
:ity, to accept an appointment at the Sea
men's Institute there under the direction
of Dr. J. Douglas Hay, formerly of this
city. Monday night Mr. Barr's friends
tendered him a reception at the Institute,
and he was presented with a handsome
traveling bag, as a mark of esteem. A
musical programme was rendered by Miss
Hoben, Miss vlggers, Miss Scott, A.
Sheerer and by representatives of ships
now in port. Mr. Barr has been useful in
muslon work at the Institute, and he has
bee very successful in getting the sail
ors io pjay association football and to take
partln other athletic exercises. His good
natuie and sterling character have won
him iany friends who are sorry to see
him leave Portland.

Noticejof their intentions having reached
the Soand, circulars were received by sev
eral oil them yesterday, asking them to
fix theldate of their arrival so that a
series or excursions can be, gotten up for
their entertainment. No one felt like
taking spy action in the matter yesterday
on account of the beastly weather, and the
matter was laid on the table until a fine
day.
Columbia at Low Stage. Water In the
ColumbSJ River Is lower than usual at
this tlrfil of the year and 'still falling.
Last yean at this time It was 10 feet above
low-watij mark, while now it Is only
about tffee feet. If any one Imagines
that theuse of the low water is a lack
of rain ft is mistaken. It is because the
weather J$ so cold that the snow in the
mountain is not melting. l

Lettzel Waives Examination. Munlct-1
pal Judge Cameron held D. M. Leltxel
in $1000 bonds yesterday for the grand
Jury, to answer a charge of kidnaping
Jennie Sturgis, 16 years old, alleged to be
a ward of the Boys' and Girls' Aid So
ciety. Leitzel was represented by Judge
Caples, who said that ho waived examina
tion on behalf of his client. Judge Caples
asserted that the girl was in a respectable
home in Washington County, and had no
wish to leave it Superintendent Gardner,
of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, after
ward stated: "In 19S Leitzel also took,
another of our wards, a Thomas 'Merger.
While I was sick Leitzel saw one of the
officials at our home and secured the
Merger boy through a mistake. I have
a letter in my possession, signed by Leit
zel, stating that he had given the boy
to a man called Mattals for $10 per month.
Leitzel wrote me at the time: 'If I get
the $10 you can have the boy.' I protest
ed at the time that he had no right to
trade the boy put, and reminded him that
slavery had been abolished In this coun
try." Bad Bots Sekt to JaIl. Two youths,
Charles Burton and James Demltt, were
before Municipal Judge Cameron yester
day, charged with disorderly conduct In
Fritz's saloon. Second and Burnslde
streets. The boys pleaded that Fritz's bar
tender became annoyed because Burton
was playingr the slot machine, and chased
them from the saloon with a water hose.
On tha other hand it was asserted that
both boys became abusive, and had to be
ejected from the place. "You boys had no
right to be in a saloon anyway," stated
the Judge "It Is only a short time since
Burton was arrested, and he promised me
that he would in the future keep away
from such places. If he goes on in this
manner he will surely find himself in the
penitentiary. He will be sentenced to 30
days in Jail. Demltt Is sentenced to 15
days in jail, but to give him another
chance sentence will in the meantime be
suspended. If he persists, however, in
hanging around saloons he will be arrest
ed at once."
Chjcjces of National Guard Bill.
Adjutant-General Gantenbeln, O. N. G
has received a letter from Colonel Dlmlck,
of New York, secretary of the Interstate
National Guard Association, inclosing the
report of the committee on militia of the
House of Representatives on the Dick bill
for the promotion of the efficiency of the
militia. The report Is comprehensive and
convincing, and Colonel Dimmick 6ays it
will probably be brought before the House
and passed about the 15th Inst. It will be
brought before the Senate and debated as
soon as possible, and Colonel Dimmick
says it will probably be enacted Into a law
within 30 days thereafter. Congressman
Dick, who is chairman of the militia com
mittee, Is president of the Interstate Na
tional Guard Association, and is MaJor
Gcneral of the Ohio organization.
Plans for Military Encampment.
Adjutant-General Gantenbeln returned
yesterday from Salem, where he attend
ed the regular quarterly meeting of 'the
State Military Board Monday night. In
addition to "ordinary business the board
decided to recommend to Governor Geer.

Guard, that the Infantry forces be as
sembled this year In a brigade camp of
Instruction at such time and place as may
be hereafter agreed upon by the Gov
ernor, the brigade commander and the
Adjutant-General. General Gantenbeln
submitted his report for the quarter,
showing that in all organizations there
was a marked improvement in attendance
over the preceding quarter.
To Test New Road Roller. City En
gineer Chase Intends to test the new 10
ton steam road roller, purchased by the
city, some time next week. He desires
to try it on a gravel street first, as gravel
is more difficult to roll satisfactorily than
crushed rock. It Is expected that there
will be a block of gravel improvement
completed on East Burnslde street early
next week, which it will be practicable to
reach with the new roller. In some places
it will be necessary to strengthen elevated
roadways before the new roller can be
run over them In safety. A large number
of street improvements have lately been
started on the East Side, but work on
them has 'been retarded by the unfavor
able weather.

A FIGHT ON
When You Tell People to Quit Coffee.
"At least 75 people among my ac
quaintances have been helped or cured by
leaving off coffee and using Postum Food
Coffee in Its place," writes a little woman
from Independence, la. "I will mention
one case, Miss Cora . I learned she
was suffering from nervousness and con
stipation and went to call on her. Found
her in bed, and she looked like a living
skeleton, so wild and haggard that I
feared for her reason.
"I asked Cora if she was Improving
any. She said not, but was gradually
growing worse. The doctor was coming
twice a day and giving her a powerful
nervine. She said, 'I am so miserable
that I tell you privately if I don't get bet
ter soon I will end it all myself eome
day." I told her not to talk that way,
for I believed it was something she ate
or drank that caused the trouble and she
might get well by making a change in
her diet. I told her my own experience in
leaving off coffee when I was in almost
as bad a shape as she, but as soon as I
mentioned coffee I had a fight on my
hands, for she insisted that coffee helped
her and her mother backed her in it, say
ing that it was "the only thing she did
enjoy and 'she did not believe coffee hurt
any one.'
"I talked with them a long time, and
finally got Cora to agree to lot me make
a cup of Postum Food Coffee for her sup
per. She was surprised that it was - so
good. Said she 'had heard it was ter
rible wishy-washy stuff.' I told her it
was because thfey did not follow directions
in boiling it enough. She promised to use
it faithfully for two or three'weeks, and if
she was not better I would admit that I
was wrong.
"I went to see her again In about 10
days, and Cora met me at the door with
a smile and said: 'Ada, your Dr. Postum
Is the best doctor of them all. I can sleep
all night, can eat heartily, and am grow
ing stronger every day. Ma and all the
rest of us use Postum now in place of
coffee.'
"The facts are the girl was being actu
ally poisoned to death by coffee. Cora
has since married and has a happy home,
and you may depend upon it no coffee Is
allowed to enter there." Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Rose SoOETr Meets TONiOHT.-TThe
Portland Rose Society will hold its qlrd
meeting tonight at the Unitarian ChaW,
at 8 o'clock, when F. V. Holman will ttlk
Informally upon "Tea Roses and Hybed
Teas." Since the question of site for tie
1905 Fair has been discussed the executi
hoard of the society has adopted the fo
lowing resolution: "Resolved. That th
Rose Society, In executive session, urgent
ly recommends, to the Lewis and Clark
Centennial Exposition Committee that, be
fore the final choice of location for the fair
be decided upon, some landscape archi
tect, and if possible, one of National repu
tation, be engaged to help locate, without
reference to any real estate or personal
interest, the grounds most suitable, most
picturesque, and that will harmonize with
the beautiful surroundings of our city, and
that can If possible, be incorporated in our
park system. Realizing that many thou
sands of dollars must bo spent in beauti
fying the grounds, in planting roses and
other flowers and shrubs, we believe that
the policy that spends vast sums in tem
porary attractions less wise than to make
It, if possible, a permanent exhibit, and
an attractive spot for all.
Idaho's Bio Flax Yield. F. W. ICet
tenbach, of the Kettenbach Grain Com
pany, of Lewiston, Idaho, was in the
city yesterday. Mr. Kettenbach reports
very little damage to the wheat crop in
Idaho, the grain at the time of the cold
weather being well protected by a covering
of snow. Idaho last year produced more
flax than any state In the West, over
40,000 acres of land being in flax, and a
big yield was secured. This season, ac
cording to Mr. Kettenbach, the acreage
will be Increased nearly one-third, and
with a yield like that of last year about
700.000 bushels of this high-priced grain
will be produced. Flax has commanded a
good price for a number of years, and
has proved much, more profltablo than
wheat to tho Ida'ho farmers. The In
creased profit Is due to a considerable ex
tent to the lessened expense in getting tha
product to market. Many of the Idaho
farmers have a long wagon haul to reach
the market, and where the ross returns
from a load of wheat would be but $35 to
$30, they receive over $100 for a load of
flax.
Looking for Theater Sites, Fred T.
Merrill, accompanied by Mrs. Merrill and
Miss C. Wilson, left last night on the
Northern Pacific on a flying trip to Ta
coma, Seattle and Spokane to look after
Mr. Merrill's business Interests in those
cities. Miss Wilson Is looking up locations
for theater buildings In Portland, Seattle,
Tacoma and Spokane. If suitable loca
tions or buildings can be secured in these
Northwest cities she Is, she says, willing
to Invest between $50,000 and $100,000 In a
Northern Circuit, and will run the theaters
on the same lines, and if possible. In con
nection with the Orpheum Circuit of Cali
fornia. Miss Wilson has large Interests
in Alaska, and her agent, who has Just
returned from London, Is now on his way
Into Dawson over the Ice, to dispose of
half of her Interests. The party will return
from Spokane over the O. R. & N.

ing is this morning at 9 o'clock.
Threw a Brick Throuoh a. Door.
With a bushy head of hair of fiery hue,
J. L. Riggs was before Municipal Judge
Cameron yesterday, charged with mali
cious mischief in throwing a brick through
a glass door in a Third-street restaurant
Monday. "The evidence against you Is
that, while under the Influence of liquor,
you tried to get a meal at this restaurant,
and that the people refused to serve you.
Then you vowed to get oven and threw
the brick." said the Judge. "All I know Is
I was drunk and have a hazy Idea that I
got Into some sort of trouble," explained
Riggs. He was fined $2.
Fruit Prospects Good. .Secretary
George H. Lamberson, of tho State Board
of Horticulture, received a letter yester
day from A. H. Carson, of Grant's Pass,
Commissioner for the Third District, stat
ing that the prospects for a fruit crop of

wrote, the third district will yield, ac
cording to estimates, a crop of the value
of $700,000.

or reopened about town, and several are
undergoing alterations to make them pre
sent a more attractive appearance. The

Al Field's MlnstYela.
Tomorrow night, at the Maquam Grand
Theater, Al G. Field's famVus minstrel
organization will open an engagement of
two nights at the Marquam Grand The
ater. Each" succeeding year Al G. Field
has something of a different character In
the comedy line to tickle the nsibilltles.
His political travesties last yar "The
Front-Porch Campaign" and "ADay In
the White House" were as mlrthVprovok
ing as anything in the comedy lln This
season he has taken as a subject tho
Midway of the Pan-American Exposition,
and it is needless to say none of th A prin
cipal characters of the day axe over
looked. Chauncey Depew, Roosevelt.
Mark Hanna and all the prominent char
acters of the day have an inning onthe
Midway. Even Oom Paul is brought
across the sea. It Is safe to say that o
Midway ever had so many distinguished
visitors, and that visitors never made io
much fun. A few local celebrities wnl
have the questionable pleasure of seeing
their counterparts on the Midway. The;
terrible Turk and the cooche-cooche danc
ing girl will be conspicuous by their ab
sence. The sale of seats opened yesterday
morning.
ChnrleK B. Hsnford.
The sale of seats for Charles B. Han
ford in "The Taming of the Shrew" will
open tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
Next Saturday, matinee and night, this
delightful Shakespearean comedy will be
the bill at the Marquam Grand Theater.
It is easy to understand why Mr. Han
ford, In the revival of "The Taming of
the Shrew," Is .meeting with such suc
cess this season. Mr. Honford's excellent
reputation Is one cause. Another Is the
popularity of the comedy, which Is ad
mittedly the most amusing of Shakes
peare's lighter works. "The Taming of
the Shrew" Is so full of ludicrous situa
tions that the spectator cannot restrain
his merriment from the beginning to the
ending. Mr. Hanford's Petruchlo Is said
to be an impersonation which no lover
of Shakespeare can afford to miss. Petru
chlo's shrewish wife Is cleverly portrayed.
It Is reported, by Helen Grantly, the beau
tiful young actress whose picture was re
cently awarded first prize by the photog
raphers' convention in London.
A GREAT ADVANTAGE.
The Sllverfleld Fur Manufacturing Com
pany Is fortunate In having one of 'the
most energetic men in the metropolis con

Startling Piano Prices
Store News From Eilers Piano
House A Large Number of
fine New Uprights to Be Sold
This Week at Dealers' Whole
safe Prices. Six DoilafsaMonth
Will Secure Choice of Nearly
Two Carloads.
During this 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 Uio and $300 here
tofore. These Instruments are greatly im
proved, and better made than they were
when they were sold at tho 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 3an Francisco Job
bing - houses or on consignment from
money brokers could afford to sell them
for leas than $325 even now and make a
living profit. But we are going to sell
these Instruments during the coming
week for ?1S6 each, and the plainer styles
for $173, and, to make It an object for
you to take one of them quickly, we win
sell you ona on payment of 510 down and
?6 a month. Remember the prices, $U3
and $1S6, one and the same to all alike, no
more will be asked, no less will be ac
cepted; 3 per cent off for all cash, or JiO
down and J6 a month, with interest on de
ferred payments at 8 per cent per annum.
We ure 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 best.
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 I1S6 and 5173
for them, rest assured they are in every
way a-good and as valuable as the In
struments were heretofore, when-sold for
5300.
It Is not that ttc are selling'
cheaper pianoa, hut tve're selling
pianos cheaper.
We have told you how In conducting
four leading stores In four leading clues
under one management we save, money in
buying large quantities of pianos; how
we save money in shipping them without
boxes, how our store rents are less per
piano sold than any other dealer's, how.
In fact, our selling expense Is les3 by
many dollars than other dealers' or
agents', large or 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 Webei and
Kimball. See them early this week. Bring
510 for a first payment down, and pay the
rest as suits you best. Remember the
place and street number, Eilers Piano
House. 351 Washington street, opposite
