HOW THE QUIN'CE TREE FLOURISHED.
"One Who Knows" writes to The Orego
nlan, to say that the statement made In
regard to Byron P. Cardwell's quince tree,
which produced the quinces for which he
was awarded a bronze medal and a diplo
ma by the managers of the Pan-American
Exposition, was Incorrect In regard to
having been uncultivated. He fears this
statement may lead prospective horticul
turists seeking homes in Oregon to Imag
ine that it is only necessary continuously
and consistently to neglect fruit trees in
this glorious climate in order to raise
prize fruit, and thus Incur certain disaster
and disappointment. He states that the
particular tree which produced the prize
quinces stands in the center of a plot
which has been cultivated as a garden. It
was enriched during ono season by the
burial, with appropriate ceremonies, of
the remains of 1G cats, victims of Mr.
Cardwell's son's dog. During subsequent
seasons no official c,dfcnt was kept. Fur
thermore, for 20 years each recurrent
Summer season has witnessed the burial
-nithin a few feet of this tree of all the
melon rinds which were not sweet-plcklcd
in Mr. Cardwell's household. Still fur
ther, the ashman has for a decade been
cheated of his perquisites by the deposit
of ashes made before the shrine of this
particular quince tree. He concludes,
therefore, that the true deduction to be
drawn from the medal lately awarded Is,
that a successful quince culturist must
look for results to the proper application
of the principles of cataphoresls combined
with melonpoelc ashlerlng.
Trout for Scappoose. -Eleven thousand
young Eastern brook trout arrived here
yesterday from the Clackamas hatchery,
and by directions of Secretary Gebhardt,
of the Fish and Game Association, wero
taken down and plapted in the north fork
of the Scappoose. John Cran attended to
this and put some of them above and
some below the dam, at a paint-mill on
the stream. The trout were about an
inch in length, and were -very lively, and
not one of. them died while on the Jour
ney. One thousand of the trout were in
a can by themselves, and were Intended
for a stream In "Washington County, but
the man who had promised to be on hand
to receive them at a certain time was 12
minutes late, and so he did not get any
fish. Trout can be carried alive any dis
tance in safety if the cans are kept in
motion, so that the water is aerated, or
if the water is aerated in any way; but
if the cans are allowed to stand still for
a short time, the fish die for want of
breath. For this reason the trout had to
ben sent ahead at once. Carp, catfish and
many other kinds of fish can live Indef
initely In still water, as they can come to
the surface and breathe, but trout cannot
do this, and as soon as they have ex
hausted the air in the water they are In,
they turn belly-up and kick th'e bucket.
Pavers at "Work Again. Work on the
paving of Fourth street was resumed yes
terday, after a delay of some two weeks,
caused by rainy weather and latterly by
the strike. There is something over a
block remaining to be dope to complete
the pavement from Morrison to Burnside
street, and it Is not certain that this can
be completed without further delay on
account of the difficulty of procuring
blocks. The sawmills are working a less
number of hands of late, and, as It Is not
practicable to make blocks out of a whole
log as only the best part of the tree can
be used It requires a large number of
logs to be sawn before many blocks can
be had. The block between Madison and
Jefferson streets has been stripped of the
old pavement, but no more blocks will be
stripped untlf this has been repaved. Few"
complaints are heard about the condition
of the street since the -worst part has
been repaired, but the whole Job will be
completed as soon as the blocks can be
obtained.
Salmon to Be Plentiful Ten tons of
salmon were on the platform at Warren's
cannery, at the Cascades, yesterday,
which indicates that the prediction that
fish will be plentiful as soon as the water
is lower was correct. The river has been
going down a little for several days, and
if it keeps on falling, there will probably
be big takes of salmon made in a few
days. Ten tons of salmon are more than
have been seen on any one day this season
before jesterday at the Cascades, but 40
tons will not be a very large day's catch
when the fish are plenty. Eighty tons
have been landed at a cannery at The
Dalles in one day. It takes 40 tons to
make 1000 cases df canned salmon, and
this amount and more, too, has often
been put up at many of the canneries.
The Columbia Is supposed to be full of
salmon, and as soon as the water gets
a bit clear, so that the seines can be
worked effectively, there will be big hauls
made.
Complaint From Chinese. Residents
of the Chinese quarter complain of the
removal of the arc lamp from the Inter
section of Second and Alder streets. They
'say a lamp Is much needed there and is
a protection to the Chinese residents, and
they say that from the amount they pay
in the way of taxes, licenses, etc, they
are entitled to a lamp, and they feel that
by Its removal they have been Imposed
upon. They are not aware of the cause
for the removal of the lamp, nor who Is
responsible for it, and 'are of opinion th.at
there aremany other corners In the city
from which a lamp could much better be
spared. In short, the Chinese want their
lamp returned.

Genuine Black Bass. The Oregonlan
yesterday morning suggested that some
one place on display In a window in this
city some Oregon black bass, In order to
prove to ail doubting anglers that there
are really black bass here. No sooner
said than done. William Hay and party,
who had been fishing In Columbia Slough
on Sunday, saw the suggestion yesterday
morning, and at once placed a platter of
the bass they had caught on display. In
the window of Beat's gun store. Five of
the fish weigh 1 to 2 pounds each. They
are genuine black bass, of the big-mouthed
variety, and were caught with a "buck
tan" and an artificial minnow. Mr. Geb
hardt, secretary of the Fish and Game
Association, went to see them and pro
nounced them black bass all right. Ow
ing to the high stage of water. It Is not
a very favorable time for fishing In Co
lumbia Slough at present, but these fish
were caught from an old raft or a bridge,
which had gone astray, or something of
that kind, under which the fish were hid
ing. It will take some time for Oregon
fishermen to catch on to the habits of the
bass, which arc quite different from those
of the trout. The fish caught by Mr. Hay
are not very black, owing to the water
they were caught in, but those caught in
deep, dark rivers are much blacker. As
to quality, old bass fishermen say there
Is no difference between the "little-mouthed"
bass and the "big-mouthed" bass.
How One Sign Was Taken Down. The
city authorities and the Civic Improve
ment Association have found It difficult
to secure the removal of some of the
lamp signs and similar devices on the
sidewalks, as the owners considered they
had vested rights acquired through per
mits. An oval sign-lamp In fronti of Wat
son's restaurant was one of the kind men
tioned, but it Is down, all the same, and
from the manner of Its taking off, or
breaking off, the authorities may get an
idea of how to deal with others. A team
belonging to the transfer company ran
away, and the wagon to which they were
attached passed so close to the sidewalk
that the hub struck the four-inch Iron pipe
which supported the lamp, breaking it off
half way up and bending the "stump" to
an acute angle. The Southern Pacific
Company's train stops In front of the
transfer company's office, a short distance
from where the lamp stood, and the com,
pany's teams are not afraid of the cars
generally, but on this occasion there was
a new horse in the team, and he not
scared and ran away, his mate Journeying
out of sympathy. If some one will send
out a runaway team to attend to the mat
ter, all the lamp-posts along the curbs
can be got rid of In short order.
From Mr. Devlin's Old Friend. One
of the advance copies of "The Spenders,"
a Western story, by Harry Leon Wilson,
editor of Puck, was received from the au
thor yesterday by City Auditor Devlin.
On a fly leaf were the presentation words
of Mr. Wilson: "To my friend, Thomas
C. Devlin, with pleasant memories of old
days in the West. Harry Leon Wilson,
New York, June A." Mr. Devlin and Mr.
Wilson have been fast friends for years.
Long ago they toured the Middle West
and the Pacific Coast together, and it
was on ono of their trips that Mr. Wilson
wrote his first article for Puck. After
ward he became a regular contributor and
assistant editor of the comic weekly, and
upon the death of H. C Bunner succeed
ed to the editorship. In a letter to Mr.
Devlin, Mr. Wilson said that the first
man to read his manuscript was the au
thor of "Eben Holden," who said it was
the best American novel since the publica
tion of "Silas Lapham." Mr. Wilson also
said that the company to which he had
sent the manuscript sent him a contract
for his signature within 48 hours after its
receipt, a' matter which, he said, was in
the record-breaking line.
Thought They Were Ferry-Boats.
Ono of the delegates to the T. P. A. con
vention was much surprised when coming
down the Columbia the other day. After
the steamer came through the Cascade
Locks, she passed by some 30 or 40 fish
wheels in rapid succession. The eyes of
this delegate began to "bulge out as he
looked at one after another of the revolv
ing -wheels, as they glided by, and at the
small wheels on top, which look like a
steering wheel, but are used to raise a,nd
lower the fish-wheels, as the water rises
or recedes. He called, excitedly, to a
friend: "Say, BUI, look at all the ferry
boats. I never saw so many ferry-boats
in my life, and they are all tied up to tho
bank. I can't understand It." If he could
have seen the wheels when the salmon
are running, with a cascade of silver
kicking and splashing in them, and pour
ing out at one end Into a receptacle, he
would have been still more mystified.
Mr. Grant Stayb. Insurance circles
are interested in the announcement tha
George F. Grant will continue at the head
of the Pacific department of the Northern
Assurance Company. It was reported re
cently that Mr. Grant had been retired
as Coast manager of the London Assur
ance Company and the Northern Insur
ance Company, in consequence of tho
change wrought by the withdrawal of tho
Imperial Insurance Company from busi
ness and the reinsurance of its risks by
the London Assurance. Mr. Landers, late
Coast manager of the Imperial, will have
charge of the London, and Mr. Grant will
continue with the Northern. Mr. Grant
has a 'well-established reputation as an in
surance man, and his acquaintances here
were surprised at the report, which
proved to be, erroneous, that he had been
entirely "let out."
Found a 10-Pound Shad. Ten-pound
shad are, like good men, mighty few and
far between. Colonel Harrington, of Pil
lar Rock, has been searching for one for
several years that Is a 10-pound shad
and has found a number of 9V4 pounds,
and some even a few ounces heavier, but
has never been able to find one which
weighed full 10 pounds until last Satur
day. The fish was sent to this city Sat
urday evening, and its weight noted and
duly attested. At the East an 8-pound
shad is about as rare as 10-pound ones
here; but it is probable that after the
shad have roamed the vast Pacific and
breathed the pure waters of tho mighty
Columbia fqr a few years more, they will
grow to the weight of 15 or even 20
pounds.
Pennsylvania Lines' 20-hour train,
Chicago to New York. Taking effect Sun-
1 day,. June 15, the Pennsylvania Lines will
establish a 20-hour passegger schedulo
between Chicago and New York, leaving
Chicago 12 o'clock noon, arriving at New
York 9 A. M., Eastern time. The equip
ment for this train Is the handsomest
ever built by the Pullman Company, and
it. will be liberally patronized by the busi
ness men whose time Is valuable. The
Pennsylvania has the shortest route be
tween Chicago and New York, and the
scenic attractions of the Allegheny Moun
tains are unsurpassed. Further Informa
tion will be furnished on application to F.
M. Kollock. District Agent, 246 Stark
street, Portland, Or.
Dr. Smith at Saratoga. Dr. Andrew C.
Smith is Oregon's delegate to the annual
session of the American Medical Associa
tion, which begins today and lasts four
days. The meeting Is being held this year
at Saratoga Springs, N. Y., and Dr. Smith
is now there in attendance. The associa
tion has 'about 100,000 members, and the
attendance had become so great that it
was unwieldy, so It was thought best to
reorganize, and a new legislative body
was organized, consisting of one delegate
for each S00 members, which gives many
of the states but ono representative.
Members of the house of delegates are
elected by each state society for a term
.of two years.
"Cardinal Newman" Tonight. Those
who may want to understand the beauty
of religion as distinct from dogma grow
ing out of a close adherence to orthodox
forms should hear Henry Austin Adams
In his first lecture tonight, at Baker's
Theater, on "Cardinal Newman." Mr.
Austin Is one of the .great orators of the
age. The Brooklyn Eagle, one of the
ablest of the metropolitan newspapers of
the United States, speaks of Mr. Adams
as a scholar and as a preacher of great
ability. All Portland will hear his first
lecture tonight.
Astoria Boat leaves dally 7 A. M., ex
cept Sunday, foot Alder street for Astoria
and all Lower Columbia River solnts.
Bad Umbrella Weather. A dealer In
umbrellas remarked yesterday that the
present weather Is not very favorable for
his business, but there had been so little
of it that he had no reason to complain.
The umbrella business is very good a con
siderable portion of the year, and now
there Is a call for parasols. The parasol
business, he remarked, is not extensive
here, and. If he came out even on this line
of goods, ho was doing fairly well. Peo
ple will soon begin flocking to the coast,
and then there will be a demand for sun
umbrellas.
Steamer" Sue H. Elmore will leave As
toria for Tillamook Wednesday 8 A.M.

FOR BETTER ROADS.
Fnnlt Found "With the Election of
Road Supervisors and Their Duties.
PORTLAND, June 9. (To the Editor.)
Now that the. elecUon is over, would It
not be well to" give a pointer to our law
makers to amend the law. If law it can
be called, which governs the country pre
cincts in Multnomah County.
The- people welcomed the law which
gave them the right to elect their super
visor, but as It now stands It Is doficlent
In many ways, as the recent elecUon has
proved.
There Is an old system of registry prac
ticed in this county for many years,
which is rotten. The last two weeks of
registration, the hue and cry goes that
some thousands are yet delinquent. The
press takes it up, the people receive It
as a matter of fact, the great majority
fail to see the fraud that lies beneath it.
The necessity then, arises for competent
means to gather in the votes.
The supervisor Is brought Into requisi
tion. He is Invested with authority to
select a notary public, go to country pre
cincts and register the lost sheep of Israel.
What Is the result? The missing number
Is found (sometimes a great deal more).
These are taken care of until election day.
They are then taken to the polls of the
precincts in which thes' are registered.
They deposit their ballots. It Is useless to
protect; their names are on the great
register; they go right through, thereby
defeating the will of the people.
What right have people having no In
terest in a precinct, transients, here to
day and away tomorrow, and people hav
ing their homes in another part of the
state, to vote In this precinct for super
visor? By all reason and by all right
they should have none.
Road supervisors should be elected by
the resident taxpayers of the precinct,
and by none others. This method would
stop a large amount of fraud.
Road supervisors should be elected an
nually at an annual meeUng of the tax
payers of each precinct, and subject to
the Board of Commissioners and Road
Commissioner, as at present. By such a
method the elecUon would cost the county
nothing. We could always get the best
man for supervisor. Therefore, we would
have better roads, and we never will have
good roads until we get educated to some
such system. It stands to reason, if a
supervisor is elected for one year, he will
be on trial. as it were, and if a man is
ever at his best. It is when he Is on trial.
If he comes to the standard and gives
general satisfaction, elect him another
year If he does not. let him out; ho can
have no grievance If he is not re-elected.
The roads that will satisfy the taxpayer
ought to satisfy the non-taxpayer and
transients.
Authority should never be given to any
one to register outside the County Clerk's
office.
Tho present system of reglsterlnir In the
country and at the polls on election day
Is rotten. There are many registered un
der that system that could not be regis
tered in the County Clerk's office.
The dUzen or taxpayer who has not
interest enough to go to tho County
Clerk's office and get legally registered
should not bo allowed to vote until he
does. If they have any grievance when
election day comes they mayblame them
selves. If our lawmakers want an honest
election, they must stop those loopholes
where fraud can crawl in. and where
cheap politicians will always take advan
tage to defeat the will of the honest peo
ple. It is to be hoped, our lawmakers
will eee the advantage of this proposed
new system over the old. The road pre
cinct of itself Is, a whole, and the tax
payers of the whole precinct should "have
the say who would be their supervisor.
In the old system the taxpayere had no
say. The supervisor was appointed, year
in and year out. for 10, 12, lOma 16 years
In succession, whether the taxpayer liked
It or not, whether the supervisor was
competent or not; so long as he retained
the favor of the board. Boss rule. had.-a
long day, but it must now give way to the
Intelligence of the people. We believe this
to be a vast lmprovemmt on the old sys
tem, yet if any others have a better sys
tem we would like to hear It; we cannot
be too much educated In this matter.
We all want good roads, and we, the
country taxpayers, will wlcome the beat
system. R. CARR.

CATTLE KING DEAD.
Passing Awny of George E. Wright,
n "Well-Known Chnrncter.
COVELO. Cal., June 9. George E.
Wright, the cattle king of Round Valley,
one of the most widely known characters
in Northern California, died this morn
ing at his home here. He was possessed
of great wealth and exercised much Influ
ence In this 'part of the state. He was
Involved In many lawsuits, chiefly over
property rights, and for a time was the
central figure of a vendetta which re
sulted in a condition of lawlessness ap
proaching border warfare. Attempts were
made to assassinate him, and tho Round
Valley troubles, as they became known,
were not suppressed until numerous
crimes, including murder, had been com
mitted In that section.
Mr. White, who was 71 years of age,
was conscious Aip to the time of his
death, which is attributed to heart fail
ure, and continued to talk on business af
fairs with his favorite nephew, J. S.
Rohrbough. who. It Is currently reported,
will receive the bulk of his estate, the
value of which Is estimated at from 5300.
000 to 51,000,000. Considerable litigation
over the settlement of the estate Is an
ticipated. The body wll be embalmed
and burled In Virginia, Mr. White's native
state. He was a Spiritualist in belief.
Not long since his third wife sued him
for a divorce.
GRAND BALL.
There will be a grand ball next Satur
day evening at the Fredrlcksburg Music
Hall, corner of Seventh and Alder streets,
that promises to eclipse anything of the
kind ever held there. An excellent orches
tra will furnish dance music; good order
will be maintained and a jolly time as
sured to all. The managers of the popu
lar place of amusement beg to announce
