After DrNAiiiTERS of Fish. Game
Warden Qulmby has received Information
that several charges of dynamite were ex
ploded In Hayden Island slough east of
Portsmouth last Sunday, and also that
seyeral times of late dynamite has been
exploded In Willamette slough. This is a
serious offense under the game and fish
law, the lowsst penalty for a first offenBe
helng not less than a fine of ?300 and Inr
prlsonment In the penitentiary for a sec
ond offense. Offenses of this kind are
tried in the State Circuit Courts, and pun
ishment is certain to follow conviction.
Those who have been using dynamite to
destroy fish must remember that it kills
every living thing in the water for some
distance around where the charge is ex
ploded, which Is why such heavy penalties
are imposed. Probably those who have
been exploding dynamite la the sloughs
near this city are ignorant of the law in
regard to this offense, but this will be
iio excuse for them if Pish Warden
Qulmby can hunt them up. Perhaps they
thought they would have some fun blow
ing up carp, catfish, suckers, etc.. but
they must remember that it is very dan
gerous and very foolish to Indulge In fun
of this kind. There are now men under
bonds of $400 each at Oregon City to an
swer to charges of exploding dynamite
In the Clackamas River.
Contagious Diseases on the Increase.
Since the weather has become warmer,
there has 3cen a considerable increase in
the number of cases of contagious dis
eases reported -at the Health Commission
er's office. The increase Is noticeable es
pecially in the number of cases of diph
theria and typhoid fever reported, and as
these are filth diseases, the number of
them Js likely to keep on increasing for
some time, until the puddles of slops, etc,
and accumulations of filth from which
they proceed are dried up. A house on
the East Side, in which three cases of
typhoid nre located, has been examined
toy the Plumbing Inspector, and the
plumbing found to be in a very unsani
tary condition. A house in which there
are three cases of diphtheria has not yet
been examined, but investigation will be
made at once to ascertain the source of
the disease. There are still many clusters
of shacks around town, which, judging
from the mass of filth, decayed timbers,
anddebris of all kinds brought to light,
when similar shacks are torn down, are
favorite lurking places for the germs of
all sorts of filth diseases. The Health
Commissioner and Plumbing Inspector
have their work cut out for them for
some time, if they would keep such dis
eases within bounds.
Few "Commission" Dealers Now. The
majority of dealers in country produce
along- Front street say that the title of
"Commission men" commonly bestowed
upon them, is now a misnomer. Seventy
live per cent of the country produce now
received by them has been bought "by
them, and the bulk of the other 25 per
rent Is creamery butter, for handling
witch they receive a commission of 5 per
cent. All the country store butter, which
fhey receive, which Is made by farmers
and is shipped to San Francisco to be pro
cessed. Is bought direct from the co'untry
stores, and eggs the same. Dealers send
out weekly offers for these things, and
for other produce, naming the price they
will pay for the week, for these things,
f. o. b. at different stations on the rail
road lines,-and the stuff is bought In this
way. Poultry, dressed calves and hogs
and some other farm produce is still sold
on commission, but most farmers prefer
to sell their stuff, as they are kept In
formed by the papers as to prices. Hence
the so-called commission men in reality
transact very little commission business,
and the neV style of handling farm pro
duce appears to give general satisfaction
to all concerned.
Vegetables and Fruit in Market.
Asparagus in several styles is quite plen
tiful In the markets here this Spring,
more o than' ever before. The fine long
green stalks, which most people prefer
to that cut off below the ground, comes
principally from Salem, but some comes
from Walla Walla. There is also a, large
supply of rhubarb, or pieplant. In the
markets. This also comes from Salem,
and considerable from the Cowlitz and
lwls Rivers. There Is plenty of it raised
about Walla Walla, but it Is so cheap thaf
It hardly pays to send it from there. Both
asparagus and rhubarb are held in high
esteem by niany people, and are very
wholesome at this season. Strawberries
which look good enough to eat are com
ing In from California, and an agent was
seeking orders -for California cherries
among dealers yesterday. Few cared much
for them, as California cherries at their
best are not to be mentioned on the same
day with Oregon cherries, and when
plucked and shipped In a half -ripened con
dition are of -very little use for any pur
pose whatever.
What Is. to Become of Brown? George
Brown, a one-legged Indian who recently
"was an inmate at the County Poor Farm,
was at the Municipal Court yesterday, and
the evidence was that he came Into the
city and got drunk. He was found lying
in a gutter in Whltecbapel. He explained
In court that he did not remember the sa
loon where he got the liquor, and the
case was continued so that Inquiries can
be made toward this end. In the mean
time the authorities at the County Poor
Farm refuse to receive Brown as an in
mate, and the police are In a quandary
what to do with him. as he is manifestly
unable, in bis present physical condition,
to earn his daily bread.
Lighthouses in Good Order. Captain
Xangfitt of the United States Engineers,
and Lighthouse Engineer for this district,
returned home yesterday from a visit of
inspection to lighthouses m the Straits of
Juan de Fuca, and Puget Sound. He went
around on the tender Manzanlta, and had
rather a rough voyage. He visited De
traction Island, Neah Bay, 'and most of
the light stations on the straits and on
the Sound, and several places where It Is
probable that lighthouses may be erected
In the future. He found all the light
bouses in good order, and nothing needed
but a few trifling repairs.
New Sidewalk. A new sidewalk is be
ing laid on Front street between Oak and
Pine, in front of the Robertson-Manning
Company's store. The old walk was of
woodsand had reached a stage of deterio
ration out of keeping with prosperous
times, and the spirit of Lewis and Clark
Improvement.
Bicycle Stolen. A Rambler bicycle,
model 43, frame number 71235. held by
John Hale, was taken from The Oregonlan
bicycle rack, last night, between 7 and
10 o'clock.
The White Collar Line has arranged
for a dally boat service between Portland,
The Dalles and all way landings, carrying
both freight and passengers as formerly.

Portland Rolling Mills Sold. The
Portland Rolling Mills, at the foot of
Twenty-second street, have lately been
sold to a San Francisco hardware and
steel company. These mills wero estab
lished some 10 years ago, and "have been
turning out of late some GOOO tons of bar
Iron per year, all of which has been taken
by three hardware Arms here. Tho San
Francisco firm wished to contract for tho
entire Output of the mills, but the propri
etor Ev N. AVer would not agree to quit
supplying his old customers, so an offer
was made for the mill, plant, property
and stock on hand, and Mr. Ayer con
cluded that It was a good time to sell,
and accepted the offer. The wholesale
dealers who have been taking the produce
of the mills have safeguarded themselves,
and will be in no way affected by the sale
of the mills, as they have arranged for
other sources "of supply, and have been
"taken care of" In every way. The prices
of bar iron all over the country Jumped
45 cents per cwt, yesterday, which Is a
good thing for those who have lots of
iron on hand.
Making Xew Insurance Rates. The
fire insurance surveyors who are making
new rates for the city expect to finish
their work this month. They have been
surveying the East Side for about 10 days.
That side of the river can be covered
much faster than the West. Minimum
rate cards for the East Side will be Issued
in a few days. New buildings are occu
pying the attention of the surveyors on
the West Side. The arrival of Alfred
Stillman, secretary of the Pacific Board
of Underwriters, is still patiently await
ed by committees of the several commer
cial bodies of the city. Their object is
to get as favorable rates as possible, and
to ascertain what reduction In rates
would follow a fireboat. They have, about
concluded that he doesn't care If he never
comes back.
New Policeman Appointed. Clifton R.
Hellyer is the name of one of the two
new policemen appointed by the Police
Commissioners Monday night. Hellyer,
who was a street-car employe, was
strongly Indorsed by representatives of
labor unions. City Attorney Long, Fire
Chief Campbell, Municipal Judge Camer
on, and others. He stands 5 feet P4
inches, weighs 183 pounds, is married, and
lives at 621 East Eleventh street. Hellyer

former at the City Park, and the latter
at Morrison-street bridge.
Stone for Weinhard Building. Stone
for the foundation walls of H. Welnhard's
building at Fourth and Alder, is being de
livered frpm the Butte quarry, some seven
miles east of the city. It was from this
quarry that the stone for H. C. Leon
ard's building at First and Ash streets
was received. It looks like sandstone,
and is said to be a sort of basalt, very
hard and rather difficult to quarry. Di
mension stone can be broken off in large
blocks of the ordinary black basalt so
common In this section, by a blow from
a sledge, but the Butte quarry basalt has
to bo drilled and "feathered" in order to
break It up.
Woman's Club Meeting Fridat. The
programme at the Woman's Club meet
ing Friday will be of unusual Interest.
Dr. Esther C Pohl will glva a talk on
the "Advance In Surgery In the Nine
teenth Century." J. Adrian Epplng, Miss
Clark, Mrs. J. F. Logan, and Olaater

ing a Winter's engagement in St John's
Episcopal Church, of that city, which
will be remembered as the church Mrs.
Roosevelt attends.
Examinations at the Librart. Hx
amlnatlons were held yesterday at the
Portland Library, of candidates for the
position of general assistant. There wero
six candidates, and the results of the ex
aminations will be announced today. The
questions were on topics pertaining to
literature and bistory. The number of
assistants In tho library is now 14. The
new assistant who will be chosen will bo
the fifteenth. Since the institution has
been made free, more assistants have
been needed!. The work of cataloguing
the library -proceeds slbwly, but as fast
as can bo done by tho present force of
employes.
Repairs Needed on First Street.
The wood-block pavement on First street
is becoming filled with small holes, the
block in front of tho Odd Fellows Temple
being about the worst on the street. A
few new blocks here and there and a
dozen or so in other places would make
the street look like a new one, and it
would appear to be about time that the
proper persons were taking this matter in
hand. If the pavement is allowed to go
on getting worse and worse, It will not
be long till it Is as bad as the one being
torn up on Fourth street.
Opium Brinos Good Price. An auction
sale at the United States Appraiser's of
fice yesterday afternoon resulted in the
sale of 1200 five-tael cans of opium to
Wong Mock for $5640. The opium sold
was seized February 23, while being
shipped hero with a lot of household fur
niture from Victoria, B. C Wong Mock
Is a Chinese from New Tprk, " and he
threw a bombshell Into the camp of tho
local opium trust by his high bid of 34 70
a can. The other Celestials looked at him
in blank amazement and refused to bid.
Fire in a Wharf. What might have
been a disastrous river fire took place
yesterday morning about 11 o'clock at the
lower wharf of the Willamette Boiler
Works, at the foot of Everett street,
where the French bark Asle is moored
while her rigging is being repaired. An
alarm was sent from box 16, and the fire
men promptly extinguished the flames,
which started under the wharf, from an
unknown cause. The loss was slight.

WORK FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
Annual Meeting of Ala Society Shovra
Great Good Accomplished.
Tho 17th annual meeting of the mem
bers of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society
of Oregon was held last night In the par
lors of the City Board of Charities.
The principal business of the meeting
was to hear the reports of the several
officers for the past year. Secretary F.
JS. Beach in his report recited the large
amount of work that had been accom
plished during the life of the society and
laid particular stress on Its grwth, which
was more especially noticeable during the
past three or four years. He further
spoke of the great necessity there was
for the building to be completed by hav
ing the north wing erected as speedily as
possible.
Mr. Beach also spoke in high terms of
the family home as being the best pos
sible place to bring, up a neglected child,
and expressed his appreciation of the Im
mense amount of good accomplished by
the society In caring, for delinquent min
ors, and believed that such children after
a short stay at the home under proper
treatment were much benefited.
Mrs. C. R, Tcmpleton, secretary of tho
Ladles' Advlstory Board, presented a very
able report, In which she outlined tho
great responsibility Involved In taking
charge of the class of children that the
society Is called on to care for, and men
tioned the fact that It Is not nearly so
hard to place the smaller children as the
older. The difficulties In placing the older
girls, said the report, are very numerous,
especially girls who have natural way
ward tendencies, as after the places are
ascertained to be suitable such girls are
sometimes enticed by outside influence to
make trouble, and It Is only a short time
ago that a girl was inveigled away to an
adjoining county by an unprincipled man
whom the society will do their best to
bring to justice.
In speaking of a reform school tor girls,
Mrs. Templeton said that while she
would advocate such an institution, yet
she believes that no girl should be sent
there except when found to be beyond
the control of the society, as it is not
good policy tp place any child In a penal
Institution If other means can be brought
to bear to reform them.
The Interior of the Receiving Home Is
spoken of in the report as perfect. Clean
liness and order are found from cellar to
garret, and the diet of the children,
though plain. Is very healthful. The kind
ness of the public schools throughout the
state makes it possible for the children
to have fruit twice daily throughout the
entire year.
The Needlework Guild of America was
spoken of in glowing terms and the Im
mense amount of good that It will be en
abled to do If encouraged by the com
munity In providing destitute persons,
both children and adults, with necessary"
new garments. "The society," said Mrs.
Templeton, "much appreciates the gener
ous donations of the Guild last Fall."
Treasurer L. L. Hawkins In rendering
his report said that during the past year
the society had been called upon to spend
a large amount of money in repairing
the old buildings taken in on a mortgage
which it had to foreclose, but that it
would finally reap the benefit by making
the property bear more expanse than In
tho past. The net expense of maintenance,
for the past year has been $534 42, making
an average of about $18 22 for each child
placed.
The report of Superintendent Gardiner
then followed. This showed that 353 chil
dren had been cared for during the year,
with 42 In the Home at the present time.
The members re-elected the three trus
tes whose terms had expired, namely,
Hon. H. W. Corbett and Judges C. B.
Bellinger and George H. Williams.
WOMEN'S UNION WORK.
Revieiva Given by Members of the
Different Phnscs.
At tho meeting of the Portland Women's
Union, held Monday afternoon at tho
home of the union, 510 Flanders street,
the work of the past year was reviewed
and some Interesting reports read. The
treasurer's report showed a balance of
J13C 13 on hand.
Mrs. Ralph Prager, chairman of the
household committee, In her report, said
their work was one of philanthropy which
has proven Itself worthy of all tho labor
It requires. "Too much praise," said she,
"cannot be 'given to our superintendent,
Mrs. George, and her work."
Mrs. S. A. Brown reported for the In
dustrial School, saying In part: "A few
years since, members of the Portland
Women's Union felt the need and demand
of this community for helping in the
home life; after four years of work, we
find It is a question of holding the boy or
girl long enough to train tho eye and
hand. Everything which relates to the
conduct of a home, from social amenities
to laundering, Is taught in the kitchen
garden by kitchen garden methods. This
training school develops character, physi
cal health and executive ability."
Mrs. S. R. Johnston, on behalf of the
Yemen's exchange department of the
Women's Union, reported tha work prac
tically closed with the Christmas, sales.
Mrs. James Failing- reported for Mrs.
Milton W. 6mlth, chairman social com
mittee, a successful demonstrative tea,
conducted by Miss Porter, of the school
of domestic science. The guests of the
home have from time to time given en
tertainments which have been much en
joyed. A number of good magazines
have been added to the library.
A communication was read from, the
board of managers of the Free Kinder
garten Association, osklntr that tho Port-
f land Women's Union use their united
efforts to introduce the adoption of the
free- kindergarten Into our public schools
atriKe June election. The following ma
tlon'was unanimously carried: "Resolved,
That-the Portland Women's Union co
operate with the committee, for the ear
nest work at this election and place the
kindergarten management under the
School Board."

INVITED TO PORTLAND
INTERXATXOXAL SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTION FOR lboS.
President Mo rue, of Oregon State
Saadny School Association, Work-
ivg- t Bring: the Large Body.
Portland Is in the field for the 11th tri
ennial meeting of the International Sun
day School Convention, to be held in 1906.
President A. A. Morse. of the Oregon
Stato Sunday School Association, some
months ago put In a claim for the next
meeting of the international body, to be
held in Portland while the Lewis and
Clark celebration shall be In progress,
and was then promised old from Eastern
sources to bring the convention here. More
recently Des Moines, la., put forth a
formal Invitation for the 1903 meeting,
whereupon Mr. Morse reminded his East
ern friends that he bad been first in the
field, and again he was encouraged to
make the canvass In the interest of this
city. The 10th triennial meeting of the
body will be held in Denver June 26 to
July 1, Inclusive, and Mr. Morse will be
a delegate. He will present the Invitation
of Portland "for the 1905 meeting, and. in
order that it may be properly Impressive
he wishes to carry credentials from all
public bodies of the city that may be ex.
pected to have an Interest In the matter,
such as. the City Council the Chamber
of Commerce, the Board of Trade, Man
ufacturers' Association, various churches
and their auxiliary organizations, etc To
this end Mr. Morse has sent letters to
these bodies similar to the following,
which was addressed to the Manufac
turers' Association:
The 10th International (trtennlum) Sunday
School Convention trill meet In Denver. Colo.,
June 20 to 30 next. This convention will
Include delegates from Mexico, Hawaiian Isl
ands. Porto Rico, Cuba and all the British
Province on this continent, besides dele
Kates, from each state and territory In tho
United States. There Trill also be in attend
ance a large number besides the regularly ap
pointed delegates. It Is fair to suppose. Judg
ing by the convention of 1800 at Atlanta and
1800 at Boston, that not less than 1200 or
1500 will be present. Thesr delegates will in
clude many of the brightest business and
clerical men of our country.
It Is tho dfcslre of the Oregon Stato Sunday
School Association to invito the convention
of 1005 to Portland, and to this end we de
sire jour assistance. If this meets with your
approval, L wish you would present the mat
ter to your honorable body, and ask it to
place In my hands an Invitation that I
can present to the convention at Denver.
Everything seems o indicate that a Very
large number will visit the Northwest Coast
during the year 1005, and, owing to uw
Lewis and Clark Exposition, railroad fares will
be at the minimum. -s i
There will be about 15C0 accredited dele
gare to the convention. Making allow
ance for delegates who will not attend
and also for excursionists who will take
advantage of the special rates to make
the town a visit at that time, and Judg
ing from experience with these meetings,
It is estimated that this convention would
bring fully 1500 people to Portland who
would not visit the eity if this meeting
should not be held here. Thus it will bo
very desirable that the International
meeting bo secured for Portland at the
time of the Lewis and Clark Fair. Many
prominent people are connected with the
body, Hon. Hoke Smith, of Georgia, be
ing the present president.
COMING ATTRACTIONS
Lewis Morrison In "Faust" at the
Marqnam.
This morning at 10 o'clock tha sale of
seats will open for Lewis Morrison, who
will appear as Mephlsto In an elaborate
new production of "Faust" at the Mar
quam Grand Theater next Friday. Sat
urday matinee and night. The scenery,
electrical effects, costumes, Instrumental
and vocal music, as -well as the lyric nnd
dramatic piologue, are all new. The en
tire production Is the most ornate and
elaborate ever given to "Faust" In its long
and prosperous career of 20 seasons, and
the return of Lewis Morrison himself to
the part of Mephlsto will Invest "Faust"
with double Interest In the minds of all
intelligent theater-goers. In his subtle
scenes depleting the temptation of Faust
and Marguerite In the garden, or his
witty, satirical scene with Dame Martha,
Lewis Morrison shows the artist In no less
degree. The supporting company, chorus
and mechanical effects have been brought
to the highest pitch of perfection by care
ful rehearsal, and Lewis Morrison and
his new "Fnust" will undoubtedly draw
a crowded house.
Cordray's Theater.
Tickets are now on sale for the ro
mantic comedy-drama, "A King's Rival,"
which opens Thursday at Cordray's and
continues Friday and Saturday evenings.
Mr. John Griffith, who Is now playing his
celebrated character of Mephlsto In
"Faust," "at Cordray's Theater, has found
In "A King's Rival" a vehicle In which
he can easily convince his admirers that
he Is as much a master of high comedy
as that of tragic roles. It has always
been his ambition to appear In a stellar
part, where .the light and shade reach
from hlgb comedy to the deepest pathos.
In "A King's Rival" he has attained his
heart's desire, as his audience is moved
from laughter to tears as the play pro
gresses. "A King's Rival" is rich in
scenic environment, the true Castlllan at
mosphere predominating throughout the
acting of the piece. A clever company s
supporting Mr. Griffith. Including the pop
ular leading actress, Miss Kathryn Pur
nell. "la MizxoHry" at the Baiter Next
Weels.
There Is a charm about all of Augustus
Thomas plays, but in none of them is it
more pronounced than in "In Mlzzoury,"
which will be produced by the Stuart
company at the Baker Theater next week.
In the character of the brave, self-sacrificing
Sheriff, Mr. Stuart will find a part
which ho will be able to do unusually
well, while all the other members of the
east will find eqaally good opportunities.
The rehearsals, which have already begun
show that the production will be one of
unusual merit, and Manager Baker has
undertaken to furnish a scenic setting
which shall be perfect In every respect.
The play is always a favorite, and there
is no doubt that Its selection will be im
mensely popular with the patrons of the
theater.
A Big Success.

Marry." which comes to Cordray's Thea
ter soon, had a continuous run In New
York City last season of 20 weeks, and
was pronounced by the press as New
York's comedy success.
LOCATING FAMILIES.
Indiana Man. Han ting Homes In Ore
gon for Friends.
J. B. Woods, of Indiana, is In the city
looking for homestead locations for 15
families who wish to leave their happy
homes In that state, for happier ones fn
Oregon. Mr. Woods will go to Jackson
County In a few days, where favorable
offers have been made to him near Med
ford. He has had experience with oil
wells In Indiana. In his eelectlon of home,
steads he will have an eye open for oil
prospects. He believes that oil Is to be
found nearly always In a wooded country,
and therefore he thinks he can perhaps
find it under good farming land in South
ern Oregon.
Mr. Woods say3 that many people who
como to Oregon to look for homes do not
know where to go. Those who bring their
families with them very often do not get
opportunity to- get oyer the country to
see the best locations, and some of them
consequently get disgusted. When Mr.
Woods arrived he met a man at the depot
on his way back East who had brought
his family Jtbm Ohio. He had sold his
farm there, and bad expected to locate
a new home In Oregon. He stayed three
months in Portland, tieddown by bis fam
ily, qnd at last in' disgust went back to
his old state.
At a railroad freight depot yesterday
Mr. Woods saw a family that had just
arrived from Ohio. It had brought along
all Its possessions. Including 10 horses,
four wagons and several doge. The head
of the family knew he wanted a new
home In Oregon, but did not know where
he should find It. He had made up his
mind to strike out over the hills. They
were so beautiful that they made him
believe tho promised land was beyond
them.

HOW CHEAP BAKING POW
DER IS MADE.
Tho Health Department of New York
has seized a quantity of so-called cheap
baking powder, which It found In that
city. Attention was attracted to it by
the low price at which it was being sold
in the department stores. Samples were
taken and the chemist of the Health De
partment reported the stuff to be "an
alum powder," which analysis showed to
be composed chiefly of alum and pulver
ized rock.
The powder was declared to be danger
ous to health, and several thousand
pounds were carted to the offal dock and
destroyed.
It Is unsafe to experiment with theso
so-called "cheap" articles of food. They
ore sure to be made from alum, rock, or
other Injurious matter. In baking pow
ders, tho high class, cream of tartar
brands aro the most economical, because
they go farther In use and are healthful
beyond question.
