How to Put Out Bridge Fires. After
a. close investigation Into the cause of the
East Side conflagration Fire Chief Camp
bell has come to the conclusion that the
proper way to prevent bridge fires is to
have a pipe connection made and a reel
of hose placed on the approach of each
bridge. In the Chiefs opinion a pipe
should be laid and the regulation hose
reel placed at each approach and covered
so as to protect It from the weather. In
the event of fire, the Chief says, the
bridge-tend ers could effectively use the
hose In a way not only to save the coun
ty's property, but also to eave adjoining
buildings In which tne flames may start.
Tho cost of Installing the pipe and hoee
reels would not. Chief Campbell thinks,
exceed $1000, "and It anight be less than
that amount.

Dog Chases a Strange Bird. Not long
ago one of tho large down-town stores in
stituted an endless belt system for the
change boxes that are sent to and from
the cashier's desk, consisting of several
stations throughout the store, where the
boxes are hitched on to the belt that is
operated by a small electric motor. The
speed of the belt Is rather fast, being
about 30 feet per second, and it takes a
pretty quick eye to follow one of the
boxes as It races around the corners and
finally up to tho second floor, where the
change desk Is located. One of the local
dog fanciers, who takes great pride Jn the
way in which his dogs are tralued to
mind their own business, went Into the
store, and, after making a small pur
chase, handed the clerk $1, and waited
for his change. The clerk put the coin
in the box, put the box on the track and
made the proper connections with the
swiftly-running belt. The box started off
TfltVi a iteVi i) tV Ant . t iVitrl" filhf
of something moving through the air s
alter tne manner oi a game Dira, sianea
in pursuit. The box started for the front
of the store on the first stretch, with the
canine a close second, but the dog could
not make the corners with the accuracy
of the box, and only got around after
capsizing a fountain case and a pile of
paper novels. In the mad effort to make
up the lost time, a second clerk was
dashed from the path with dispatch, and
by the time the second corner was reached
the dog had an idea that he was gain
ing. A large pile of Omar Khayyam's pop
ular "Rubalyat" was hit at thjs corner,
some of which have not been found yet.
The last turn was an upshoot to the
desk, and the dog, seeing no other way
of getting to the second floor, started to
climb the shelves, and had Just mcceed
cd In upsetting all the school book stock
for the Fall trade, when the Irate owner
caught up with his pet. The dog goes
into tho store now at the end of a steel
chain. ,
A. Kino Wilson Returns From East.
a. King Wilson has just returned from a
trip in the East, where he has visited
Boston, New York, Baltimore and Wash
ington. He states that much interest Is
being turned toward Oregon and that the
indications of Immigration are very
marked through the East. While there
Mr. Wilson made a study of principles of
irrigation, which he expects to apply on
his property on the Deschutes River. He
also had some. Important business at
Washington, where he brought claim
against the Government of Mexico on
marine matters which have beeh pend
ing for some time. In speaking of his
trip, Mr. Wilson said: "Upon returning
to Portland some of our shortcomings are
very noticeable. I miss especially the
lack of the proper marking of our streets.
The bad condition of our streets is also
very noticeable. They are not In a fit
condition to have a fair here. I am glad
you did not burn the whole town up while
I was gone." Mr. Wilson is a stockhold
er In the Esty estate and lost heavily In
the fire at Seventh and Gllsan streets.
Sparrows Put Docs to Rout. People
who had nothing else to do yesterday af
ternoon stood on the corner of Seventh
and Washington streets and watched two
English sparrows teaching their young
one to fly. The old birds had quite a
time In giving the necessary instructions,
and two or three times they had to bicker.
Once their domestic infelicity was inter
rupted by a bull pup which tried to seise
the young sparrow. Then the famllv
quarrel was called off and both the male
and the female pounced on the pup and
pecked him until he set out in full flight
down Washington street. A bird dog
came along soon after, and he, too, was
after the game. When last seen he was
making tracks up Seventh street, and
the cock sparrow, with his bill full of
hair, was In close pursuit. The next vic
tim was another bull pup, which, after a
bout with the sparrows, was glad to seek
refuge In the arms of Its owner J. K.
Johnston. Three or four dJgs came along
about that time, and the sparrows, finding
themselves outnumbered, took to the tall
buildings.
Ohio Societt Meets. About 50 mem
bers of the Ohio Eoclety met in Judge
George's courtroom Saturday evening,
and an enthusiastic meeting was held. It
was the general opinion of the members
present that the work of the society
should extend Into all counties of the
state, and a committee consisting of
Judge P. H. Ward, Captain J. P. Shaw
and Mrs. J. E. Johnson was appointed to
take up the matter of extension. It is
likely that permanent secretaries will be
appointed In each county in Oregon.
Judge M. C. George, president of the so
ciety, spoke on the relation of the soclety
to the 1903 fair, and the members hope to
make some showing in the way of an
Ohio building or clubrooms at the Expo
sition. The election or new directors re
sulted as follows: Dr. Byron E. Miller,
J. W. Bell, C. M. Idleman, Mrs. J. P.
Shaw, Mrs. Frank Brook. The hext meet
ing of the society will be held In Septem
ber. New Citt Officers Take Charge
Wednesday. The newly elected city of
ficers will take their offices Wednesday
morning, as provided by law. Several
have already taken the oath of office, and
among them are J. J. Fitzgerald and J.
P. Kavanaugh. who will act as deputies
under City Attorney-elect McNarv. The
new Council will hold its first meeting on
Wednesday. It will have a firm grasp
of matters which were under consideration
at the last meeting, for all the members
were regular attendants at the sessions of
their predecessors. The new Council will
not be an inexperienced body, for among
its members are C. E. Rumelin, who
served from 1S94 to 1S96. and B. P. Card
well, who has many times been a repre
sentative In the City Legislature.
No New Consular Officer. The Cham

State Daniel J. Hill, saying there Is no
authority of law for the appointment men

young mountain gun. "I fired off the gun
In our yard," explained the boy. "I didn't
know you were 'piiiling' boys when the
Fourth of July is so near. I thought it

iNTERBSTrNO STRAWBERRy FACTS. From
positive and very pleasant knowledge
The Oregonlan is able to give testi
mony respecting the quality of strawber
ries, grown on the F. A. Jones place, 13
miles up Hood River, at an elevation of
920 feet, where the snow falls, to a depth
of from two to four feet each Winter.
Most of the Hood River berries are
grown at an elevation of from 200 to 300
feet, hence the crop of the Jones place
does not come in until the greater part
of the crop is out of the way. Mr. Jones
put in his place of four and a half acres.
In October, 1900, setting 10,000 plants to the
acre, and this year he Is getting a fine
return, fortunately at a time when prices
are somewhat advanced as compared
with the height of the season. The Da
vidson Fruit Company are this year set
ting out some 20 acres of late berries In
the same general locality. At the Jones
place, picking was begun on June 21,
and on Monday of last week the highest
score for picking and nacklntr ever made
in the valley was recorded there. Nine
pickers and two packers put up 75 crates
of 24 pound-- each. The hlch nicker turned
in 423 pounds, and the high packer packed
39 crates, or 936 pounds. This work has
never been equaled in the Hood River
district. In the valley fields 25 crates Is
considered a good day's pack, and It
rarely goes over 200 pounds In a day. Mr.
Jones estimates that he will get 200 crates
per acre this year, for which he expects
to get something better than 52 25 per
crate. After deducting all the elements
of cost, which he figures at 73 cents per
crate, he expects to clean up $300 per
acre certainly not a bad profit. These
facts explain why good terry land in the
Hood River district Is bringing from $400
to $000 per acre.
Her Opinion of the Chamber of Com
merce. An amusing incident occurred
yesterday when the girl at the other end
of the telephone expressed freely her opln
Ion of the Chamber of Commerce, the
Weather Bureau, and things in general.
At a late hour the telephone bell at the
Chamber of Commerce rang violently.
"Hello," said the man who answered the
call. "Can you tell an anxious young
lady who wants to go on an excursion to
morrow whether or not It Is going to
ralnr seld a sweet voice at the other
end of the line. "That is hardly my line
of business." said he. "Isn't this the
Weather Bureau?" said the voice- still
more sweetly. "This Is ts Chamber of
Commerce," said he, "and we dont know
anything about the weather here." The
sweet voice Ibst Its ring. "Oh," said she,
haughtily, "the Chamber of Commerce
the Chamber of Commerce don't know
anything." "Well, you are fortunate that
central didn't connect you with any one
worse than the Chamber of Commerce,"
said the man. "Yes," said she, now quite
vexed. "Usually when I ring up the
Weather Bureau I get some Baloon," and
the receiver was suddenly hung up and
the man was left wondering.
Patent Street Indicators. The Port
land Railway Company has equipped
some of their Washington-street cars with
patent street Indicators for the con
venience of strangers who do not know
the names of the streets crossed by that
line. These Indicators are entirely auto
matic In their action, consisting of a long
roll of white doth on which are printed
the names, wound! on reels, the whole
being placed in a box at one end of the
car. The reels are operated by a fifth
wheel that runs along the track, causing
the cloth to pass behind a small aperature
in the front of the box. The machine has
not been entirely perfected as "yet, some
difficulty being found In making the wheel
run at the same speed on up and down
hill track.
"Bob" Patterson Arrested. The no
torious "Bob' Patterson, the proprietor
of the Favorite saloon, Fourth and Couch
streets, and his bartender, Thomas Fallon,
were arrested Saturday morning by Po
liceman Franklin, charged with the lar
ceny of $25 from F. Sunberg, who was In
toxicated. As Sunberg was not In a con
dition to give evidence, Patterson and Fal
lon were permitted to make a deposit of
550 ball each for their appearance in the
Municipal Court tomorrow. Sunberg was
also allowed to go on his promisng to
appear when wanted, but it Is doubtful If
he will be on hand to give evidence. He
told the police that Fallon held him. and
that Patterson went through his pockets
and took 525. Patterson Is popularly sup
posed to be a man with a pull, and the re
sult of the case will be watched with In
terest. Gelinsky Bros, have entirely recovered
from their illness and will again take

COMPLAINT FROM SPOKANE
The Effect of "Whipping- Prisoners as
Practiced by n Civilized Xntlon.
SPOKANE, June 27. (To the Editor.)
The terrible crimes committed by the es
caped convicts, Merrill and Tracy, to
make good their escape, brings up the
question as to whether the punishment
by whipping Is a just one, a safe and a
proper one for a civilised nation, as the
American Nation is supposed to be, to
practice, in their prisons or anywhere else
for that matter. '
Criminals know when they commit crime
they will be punished by imprisonment
and accept it as a Just law; but they also
know' that whipping Is an ancient arid
barbarous custom, resorted to mainly by
the uncivilized races. It not only tends
to' lower the heads of our Nation in tho
estimation of the victim, and any one
should value the good opinion of evon a,
convict: but it also has the effect of in
stilling Into the minds and hearts of those
convicts the thought of revenge and un
dying hatred.
Whipping Is not only one of the most
humiliating, but one of the most brutal
punishments ever meted out to humanity,
and Instead of having tho effect of stamp
ing out crime, increases It Those who
are responsible for such shameful laws
havo a much of the criminal tendencies
in their make-up as the helpless prisoners.
Is it Just and honorable that a nation
should make laws whereby its unfortu
nate subjects, instead of being set proper
and just examples in life, are brutally tied
to the whipping post, with their helpless
manacled hands strung above their heads
and lashed by the stinging thongs that
bring blood with the first blow, then the
quivering, bleeding flesh Is covered by
tho coarse prison garments to irritate and
ulcerate until the victim is crazed beyond
endurance?
O great, O honored America! the
home of the brave and the land of the
free! Not only will this, but other laws
as base and brutal, have to be erased
from your pkges before you Can stand un
sullied before the world

opposition confronting them.

TO HONOR CAPTAIN WYETH
Secrctnry Reed Secies for Historical
Data and Portrait.
For some time, Henry E. Reed, secre
tary of the Lewis and Clark Centennial
Fair, lias been gathering historical data
that will prove of interest to those who
study the history of Oregon. Mr. Reed
has paid particular attention to' the do
ings of Oregon's early explorers, among
whom was the late Captain Nathaniel J.
Wyeth. Last month, Mr. Reed sent the
following letter to Mrs. Mary J. Fish,
a niece of Captain Wyeth, who now lives
at Taunton. Mass.:
Portlana. Or1., May 23. 1002. Mrs. Mary J.
Fish. Taunton, Mass. Dear Madam: In re
gard to Hiram Martin Chittenden's admirable
history of "The American Fur Trade in the
rar West," I noted that you furnished a short
biographical sketch of Captain Nathaniel Wy
eth. It seems to me that, as Captain Wyeth
waa one of our earliest explorers, a. much more
extnd-d sketch of him by you would be ap
preciated by the people of Oregon. Our knowl
edge Of Captain Wyeth Is pretty complete, as
his Journals were published only a few years
lnce In the series of "Sources or the Hlstory
of Oregon," bat nothing, 1 think, -written by
one closely related to the distinguished explorer.
A photograph taken from a painting of Captain
Wyeth would also be acceptable.
Kindly inform me It you-know of any one
in Massachusetts who might have a portrait
o Hall J. Kelly. Tours very truly,
HENKT E. REED. Secretary.
Last week Mr. Reed received this reply
from Mrs. Fish:
Taunton. Mass., Juno 21, 1002. Henry E.
Reed, Portland. Or. Dear Sir: Please excuse
delay In replying to yours of the 23d ulL I
shall be most happy to do anything In my
power to add to the honorable remembrance of
my uncle. Mr. Nathaniel Jarvis Wyeth, in your
proposed Lewis and Clark Centennial of 1605, in
which 1 am much Interested. Nothlnr can.
however, be added to the knowledge of his
plans or of himself personally at the time of
his expeditions, beyond that gained from, his
published letters and Journal of the time.
My remembrance does not extend so far
back, nor do I know of any one now living
who can reccjlect him then. Most unfortu
nately, a large correspondence, which for
many years after his return was kept up
with those Interested in Oregon (upon -which
he -was considered authority), was destroyed
before his papers came Into my hands. In
dices of letters which remain show the ex
tent and probable Interest of that corre
spondence. Ills friendship with John Mc
Loughlln was litelongand fervent- Copies of
letters to him after 1S40 are still In exist
ence, but replies are destroyed. Of his later
nit, which I so well remember, much moro
cannot be said than I have already said for
Lieutenant Chittenden, but I -trill do some
thing In that line, if you will Inform me In
what way you orefer to use it, that I may
guide myself awordlngly. Th only pictures
Of him are copies of an enlarged and changed
crayon, taken from a daguerreotype of him
after death. It Is the same portrait of him
published In Harper's Monthly of September,
1602, appended to an article contributed by
his cousin. Dr. J. A. Wyeth, of New Tork
City. I will send you a copy It I can get a
good cney Of Hall J. Kelly. I can give you
no definite Information, nor have I yet found
and reference to htm. except In connection
with xay uncle. I will try in one other di
rection, however, but with small hope of suc
cess. He did reach Oregon some time after
the Wyeth expedition, alone and almost des
titute, so one authority states. It Is for
ma a labor of love to aid In perpetuating
the memory of my Uncle In Orepn. Ho loved
It to his dying day. and always hoped to re
turn and end his life there. He was the kind
and thoughtful benefactor of my orphaned
youth, whom I dearly loved. Sincerely yours,
MART J. FISH.

Pacific University Funds.
TWANA, June, 28. To the Editor.)
In a recent number of The Oregonlan
the following appeared:
It Is only a little while back that & group of
the best men In this or any other country
made a dreadful mess at university Park,
and It waS no great while before that painful
Incident that the professional body at Forest
Grove paid up their arrearages of salary and
generally fixed up the college grounds out of
a solemnly entrusted endowment all, of course,
in the sweetest business Innocence.
Permit me to say that the above Is a
mistake as far as Pacific University Is
concerned. Not a dollar of the endow
ment funds has ever been used for pay
ing the professors, or any of the running
expenses of the institution, but all are
still kept as an endowment of the institu
tion. It wis a saying of the late Hon.
Henry Failing, who for 28 years previous
to his death, was its treasurer, when
asked if he would allow such use of the
funds: "Tho college had better die than
do a dishonorable thing." Least of all
havo the professional body at Forest
Grove paid themselves out oT these funds

We ;print this letter gladly, of course,
but In Justification of thd publication to
which It refers It must be said thai the
Information came some years ago directly
to an Oregonlan writer from an officer of
tho University Association. The name flf
this ofllclal muat for many reasons bc
withheld; but It is impossible that there
could be a mistake as to the fact a mat
ter whlcli It will be easy to demonstrate
to any Interested person who may cire to
pursue thq Inquiry !n a personal way.
Nothing was lost to the endowment fund
on account of the Incident, because there
was then living a business friend of the
university .who was neither willing that
the "college should die?' nor that it should
"do a dishonorable thing." Through the
prompt aid of this friend the wasted fund
wis Instantly restored. It Is right to add
that in the original reference to this mat
ter there was no thought critical or in
any way unfriendly to Pacific Unlvcrslty
or any other of our schools. Simply this,
It was sought by Illustration to exhibit
the business disqualification of a class of
excellent persons not accustomed to defi
nite business responsibilities and not
trained in precise business methods.
CROWD AT SHIELDS' PARK
Standing Room Only.Slgrn Oat Last
XlS-ht Xew Bill Makes a Hit.
Standing room was at a premium at
Shields Park last night, and the -audience
enthusiastically applauded all the num
bers on the programme. The Matsuda
troupe of acrobats, consisting of three
men and three boys, gave a wonderful
exhibition of Juggling, and their feats re
ceived the undivided attention of the spec
tators. Edward Shields gave an Illus
trated talk of his trips across the conti
nent and his humorous Illustrations were
applauded. Songs by George Jones-, a
member of the Ernest Hogan company,
and an understudy of Mr. Hoga'n, were
warmly received and proved that Mr.
Jones is a songster of merit. Hazel San.
ger made a pleasing appearance, and the
polyscope was an attraction that helped
to keep the audience interested for three
hours.
