J. Caesar xb a Mascot. Julius Cae
sar, the aged colored gentleman, "was on
the streets yesterday morning, "orating"
for the Portland baseball team. During
the course o his -wanderings, Julius came
to the corner of Fourth and "Washington
streets, where a number of "fans" were
assembled, and in his usual entertaining
manner began to bow and scrape and
smile, until the sun, shining upon the
gold fillings of his teeth, reflected a luster
brighter even than a locomotive head
light In the dead of night. "When called
upon for a speech, Julius graciously re
sponded, something after the following
manner: ".Gen'emen, when Julius Caesar
says play ball, tho boys is a goin' to
play, for Julius Caesar's wonl is law.
1 am goln to dat fir game dls afonoon,
and am goln to urge dem Pootland boys
to play to win. De trouble In dem games
away up dere in Montaney was dat Jule
Caesar wasn't there to holler at Pootland.
to 'play ball.' "When Julius goes to de
games, Pootland wins, sure. My name
sake, who ruled the Eyetaleons for more
an 55 years before Columbyus come across
de plains, was a "great and good man, a
man who led his army through de gates
of Rome to where Pompeii's statue stood
in de Congress hall, and then called 'halt'
and the dust-brown ranks stood fast.
Just then Mark Anthony run up and stab
bed hjm ln'de back with a butcher knife,
and Cicero and Casslus turned loose with
"Winchesters and Great Caesar fell. Tracy
and Merrill ain't in it, gentlemen. But,
as I was a goln' to jfemark, dls here Cae
ea is just as great a baseball mascot as
de other was a fighter, for Pootland alus
wins with Julius on de bench and "
Just at this stage of the game, probably
as tb,e urator was about to launch Into his
peroration, a member of the police force
hove in sight, and Julius quietly betook
himself to a neighboring saloon. The
crowd scattered, many of them declaring
that Mr. "Vlgneux might do well to sign
Julius as official mascot and orator.
George Goodal.1, Undergoes Opera
tion. The condition of George GoodalL
who has been confined In Good Samaritan
Hospital for some weeks with an injured
knee, has been growing worse and worse,
until Saturday his right leg had to be
amputated, as the last hope of saving
his life. His trouble dates from last
September, when he was confined with
an Injured knee The trouble was not
regarded as very'' serious and his knee
was treated with various remedies, but
grew worse and worse. About a month
ago he was brought to the hospital and
an operation performed, when he had a
very close call, and it was with the most
extreme measures that he was restored
from the effects of the anesthetic, so weak
had he become from his long suffering. The
doctors hoped to save his leg, and the
operation consisted of cutting into the
knee and removing a part of the bones
which had become tubercular. This, it
was expected, would remove the cause
of the trouble, but still the knee would
not heal. Saturday the wound was again
opened, and an amputation was deemed
necessary. He stood the operation in fine
shape, and It is thought that he will
soon recover. Goodall has been for sev
eral years a student at the State Univer
sity, and was a leader both in student
ability and athletics. He was a member
of last year's football team, for several
years "a member of the university track
team; as well a6 one of the best debators
the- university ever turned out. His sick
ness occurred shortly before the time
that he was to graduate, and he was-not
able to complete his course. Bo highly
was he regarded by his professors, how
ever, that he -was granted his diploma
without an examination.
Unknown Italian Dies Frost Injuries.
Suffering from a broken skull and
broken leg and in an unconscious condi
tion, an Italian whose name Is unknown
was brought to St "Vincent's Hospital
yesterday morning. Every effort was
made to restore him, but he died about 10
o'clock last night without ever regaining
consciousness. The source of. his Injuries
are not known and no one can be found
who knows anything about his identity.
He was brought in on the early morning
train, but the train hands did not say
where they had picked him up or how
he had been hurt. Dr. K. A. J. Mac-
kenzie, surgeon for the O. R. & N. Co.,
took the. case in charge, but has not been
able to learn anything as to who he is
or where he came from. There was a
little misunderstanding, upon his arrival,
as to whom the case belonged, to the
county or to the O. R. & N. He was
suffering, however, and Dr. Mackenzie
took him to the hospital at once and ad--mlnistered
to his wants. It was found
that his skull was fractured and that he
had sustained such serious injuries that
his life was in great danger. His leg was
amputated at once and the fracture In his
skull treated, but despite these efforts
he expired last night, never recovering
sufficiently to give anything of his iden
tity or the accident that cost him his life.

ness matters of his office, before turning

AGAINST SCHOOLHOUSE.
RnBsellville Meeting Vote Xo Ques
tion Will Come Up Aemin July 10.
At "a special school meeting In the Rus
sellville district Saturday night, to vote
on the proposition to enlarge the school
house, the project was defeated by a ma
jority of five. It was decided, however,
to hold another meeting of the taxpayers
of the district on July 16, when the direc
tors will present plans and specifications
of a building that will meet the necessi
ties of the district Some who voted
against the new building did so because
there was no definite plan presented as to
what is wanted, but It is thought that
when the directors come before the tax
payers with a definite proposition and
show what kind of a building Is required
they will be authorized to levy the tax.
The taxable property of the Russellvllle
district Is $202,000. Leander Lewis, one of
the directors and one of the heaviest tax
payers, said yesterday that he was hear
tily In favor of an addition to the pres
ent building, of either one or two rooms,
or more. The time had come, he said,
When the district must provide more
rpom for the children of the district It
was not a matter of choice. If any con
siderable number of pupils over the at
tendance of last year should attend the
coming year there would be no provis
ion for them, for the rooms are already
crowded. Mr. Lewis, however, has hopes
that at the next meeting a majority of
the taxpayers will favor the new build
ing. One property-owner ald he voted
against the new building because he
wanted to see a modern structure put up
and one that will be a credit to the dis
trict He considers that an assembly hall
is needed badly In the building.
GROWING DAIRY DISTRICT.
Great Future In Store for the Colum
bia Sloush Stock Farms.
There Is great development of. the dairy
interests in the Columbia district in the
vicinity of Falrvlew. N. H. Hall, who
lives at Falrvlew, said yesterday that the
Falrvlew cheese factory was taking and
using more milk now than ever before,
and on some days as much as 6000 pounds
was received. The factory pays 25 cents
per pound for butter fat to be turned
Into cheese. This insures the farmers the
highest price at their very doors, without
the trouble of bringing their milk to
Portland. The Cleone dairy farm, of the
Portland Dairy Association, delivers most
of Its milk to the factory, and brings
the rest to Portland.
Owing to the fact that the price of
cheese does not fluctuate as does that of
butter, the factory is able to pay more for
the milk than the dairies that turn out
butter, which usually pay 17 cents for
butter fat The establishment of the
cheese factory Is regarded as a good
thing for that entire district H. C.
Campbell and some other Portland men
are Interested in this facfory. It is re
ported that they have either secured or
are trying to secure control of tho Smith
estate with a view to making it a great
stock ranch. Some parties were out to
Falrvlew a short time ago Investigating
the location with a view to starting a
mllk-condenslng factory, but did "not find
conditions favorable to the enterprise.
There Is not milk enough to supply such
an establishment as yet However, ev
ery year the stock on the Columbia farms
is being increased. That district is bound
to be a great dairy and cheese-producing
section.
EVEA'ING STAR GRANGE MEETING.
Money for Building Site Nearly All
Raised Good Roads Discussed.
An interesting meeting of Evening Star
Grange, No. 27, Patrons of Husbandry,
was held in Multnomah Hall, on the Sec
tion road, Saturday afternoon. A. F.
Miller, master, who was injured by a fall
from his bicycle, was able to be present
although still suffering from the effects
of his fall. One candidate was given the
first two degrees. An interesting pro
gramme was given in the afternoon.
In regard to the site for the proposed
new Grange hall, it was renortpd thnt of
$200 needed to pay for the ground all but
$29 had been secured. This was consid
ered satisfactory, as the remainder can
be raised. It Is not the Intention of the
Grange to be In nny rush about erecting
a building. It owns Multnomah Hall,
which Is ample for some time to come.
"When the Grange is In a position to pro
ceed with the erection of a new building
It will do so, but at present no plans have
been adopted. The grounds secured are
but a short distance from Mltnnmnh
Hall and can be used for a hitching place
fc;r the horses of the members when
meetings are held.
At the meeting held Saturday an Invita
tion was received from Clackamas Grange
to attend a meeting on July 12, on which
occasion there will be a special pro
gramme. The Invitation was accepted.
During the afternoon there wns a discus
sion of the question of .good roads, -and
the necessity for a farmers' market in
Portland. The next meeting will be held
July 19, and In the evening an Ice cream
festival will take place.
No "Word From Grosnnnns' Relatives.
No word has been received from De
troit Mich., as to what disposition to
make of the body of Fred F. Grosshans,
who shot himself tiro other night in a
lodging-house on East Morrison and East
Water streets. The lawyer who has been
looking after the property In which he
said he had an interest was telegraphed,
but no reply has been received. Just
what shape the property Is in Is not
known.. However, some friends will see
that he has a respectable funeral, which
will probably be held tomorrow evening.
While there is no doubt that Grosshans
shot himself, there is one thing that Is
singular and not susceptible of clear ex
planation. He had removed all the cart
ridges from the pistol but one, and placed
them on the window sill. The shooting
was not accidental, as the muzzle of the
pistol had been placed so close to his
temple that his hair was singed, but why
did he remove all the cartridges but the
one?
Funeral of T. A. Shetterly.
The funeral of T. A. Shetterly, who died
frQm paralysis at Pleasant Home, Friday
night was held yesterday -afternoon un
der the auspices of M. A. Ross Post, of
which he had been a member. Dr. Rock
well was present and took part Com
mander Henry Kane had charge. At the
grave the Impressive services of the G.
A. R. were rendered. There was a large
attendance of friends of the family.
East Side Notes.
The funeral of Miss Alice M. Stevenson
was held yesterday afternoon from the
home of her sister, Mrs. M. York, on East
Sherman and East Eighth streets. Rev.
E. P. Hill, assisted by Rev. M. M. Bled
soe, conducted the services.
Mrs. J. W. Miller, who Is seriously ill
at her home on East Ankeny street was
yesterday slightly better. She was con
scious most of the day for tho first time
for several days.
FAN -TAN CLOSED
Chinese Gambling - Houses
Under Ban of Police.
POKER GAMES ALSO MUST STOP
Sporting Fraternity Spends a Q,ulct
Sunday Gaming-Places In Darlc
ness Rockplle Policy for Va
grants Begins Today. .
Chinese gambling-houses" along Second
street where fan-tan gnmes have been In
operation, and poker games carried on at
the rear of certain cigar stores in differ
ent sections of the city, were stopped by
the police last night Policemen in uni
form went around and gave the necessary
orders. Neither poker players nor Chinese
gamblers were surprised when told thai
play had to stop. The Chinese, as a rule,
said "Alia light" and took the matter
with tho -stolid philosophy of their race.
The different gambling-houses where white
men have been accustomed to play were
shrouded In darkness yesterday, and the
only life visible was In the saloon sec
tions downstairs, where Idle dealers and
disgusted players attended to their thirst
Money was not plentiful, as the dealers
admitted they did not know where this
week's salary is coming from.
Sunday a Quiet Day.
When open gambling prevailed, Sunday
was known as a quiet day In gambling
circles. Such games as keno and roulette
were not generally played, and the sports
had to content themselves with mild card
contests. It was only when Monday morn
ing dawned that active play opened for
the week. The reason for thla line of op
erations was that the nerve-racked dealers
were tired out with their week's work, and
required a day off to recuperate. Lota of
gamblers also do not care to play to any
extent on Sunday, as they call It a "hoo
doo" day, and are tsuperstltlous enough to
believe that luck would be against their
winning a high stake on that occasion,
just the same as If a cross-eyed man sud
denly appeared on the floor. So the $6-per-day
gamblers and attendant satellites
took their usual day of rest Today will
be the real test, when they find time
hanging heavily on their hands, when the
cry of "Keno!" will be heard no longer
and the ' whir of the roulette ball Is
missed. Of course, the boss gamblers say
they will obey the order to close, and that
all play Is off so far as their houses are
concerned. It was noticed that the police
kept a close watch on the closed and dark
ened gambling-houses, and no play was
discovered in progress up to a late hour
last night
In Chinatown, iron-sheathed doors pro
tected by Iron bars were noticed In the
different fan-tan houses, which will serve
to. check the police when the first raid
takes place, giving the scared players a
chance to escape from the series of rear
door? and secret passages with which the
places are lined. The Indications are that
play will not be resumed in Chinatown
until some credulous Chinese brings tid
ings that playing on the sly has been re
sumed at some of the white houses. Then
the fun will start Chinese will begin a
close season of fan-tan on the sly, and this
will be followed by police raids, when the
doors will be battered down once more.
Police Defied In Tenderloin.
Scarlet tfomen defied the police yester
day afternoon along Fourth street from
Davis to Everett Orders had been given
that doors were to be kept closed and
windows darkened, but this was not done,
and the offenders' conduct was as flagrant
as of old, when they were sure that no
policemen were around. When the police
passed everything was apparently dead In
the houses, but afterward there appeared
a lightning change. Shameless women sat
In the full glare of lamplight at windows
on Second street from Couch to Everett
although It was noticed that several
women who liave been lawbreakers hae
already left their wretched dens, before
the raids begin. In four houses along the
dead line there were signs on the windows,
"To rent"
It was rumored on the streets yesterday
that one of the next steps taken by the
Williams administration will be a move
ment dealing with the drinking evil In cer
tain restaurants, where youths and girls
are served with liquor at meals. The as
sertion is made by church people that pri
vate boxes in restaurants and oyster
houses must be abolished. In the Interests
of the morality of young girls visiting
these places. People who gave this Infor
mation to an Oregonlan reporter admitted
that It will be a difficult matter to reach
the offenders, but pointed out ttiat if cer
tain restaurant people wish what is
known as a. continuance of good trade
they "had better mend their ways. Several
months ago the proprietor of a restaurant
In the center of the city was spoken to
with reference to having supplied liquor
to young people who frequented private
boxes In his place. He retorted to the ob
jectors that he was fully capable of At
tending to his own business, etc In a
Bhort time he found that he was being
slowly but surely boycotted, and his once
prosperous trade melted away so quickly
that he had to close up shop.
Vagrants "Under Arrest.
At 10 o'clock last night there were about
50 people In the City Jail arrested for
various offenses, and some of them will
start work on the rockplle this morning.
Others will face Municipal Judge Hogue,
and will appear on the rockplle later on.
Five men yagrants were arrested by Po
licemen Roberts and Patton in tho neigh
borhood of Fourth and Davis streets.

BXAMATHCOUNTYFARMERS
Ge Advantage of Institute and Com
petent Instruction.
BONANZA, Or.', July 4. A Farmers' In
stitute was held here yesterday evening
under the auspices of the Oregon Agri
cultural College, Professors E. R. Lake
and F. I. Kent being present Dr. James
Wlthycombe was called home to meet
officials of the United States Department
of agriculture, so was prevented from be
ing Irx attendance. Owing to stormy
weather, so few farmers came to town
that It was deemed, Inadvisable to hold
an afternoon session. Favorable weather
In the evening, however, brought out a
good attendance. The college representa
tives report two features of the attend
ance that they had never experienced be
fore In all of their institute work; first
was the presence" of a number of Indians,
who appeared to be" very interested spec
tators; secondly, there were no ladles in
attendance, which was no doubt due to a
misconception of the nature of topics to
be presented, for ladles often make up
more than half of the attendance at these
evening sessions.
Professor E. R. Lake opened the meet
ing with a discussion of the purpose of a
Farmers' Institute. He said In part:
"Farmers' Institutes have been a feature
of the work of the Oregon Agricultural
College for the past 12 years, much more
having been done along this line during
the last few years than formerly. Here
tofore the work has been mainly confined
to Western Oregon, and along the line of
the railroads in the eastern part of the
state. But the board of regents at the
last annual meeting passed a resolution
directing- the college management to hold
a series of Institutes In the Interior of the
state, and, accordingly, a rdute was laid
out from Antelope to Lakeview, thence to
Klamath Falls, with stops at all Interme
diate points of prominence. This explains
why we are with you at the present time.
A Farmers' Institute Is much the same In
Its nature as a teachers' Institute, with
the work of which you are, perhaps, more
familiar. We do not expect to teach only,
but expect to learn from you as well, cur
ing our trip we have had very fair at
tendance at our meetings, particularly at
the evening sessions, and I can say for
myself and my co-workers that we feel
well paid for the time spent"
Professor F. L. Kent discussed "Some
Types of xjvmestlc Animals." Life-size
Illustrations of noted animals were thrown
on theitcroen, and their characteristics
pointed out The beef and dairy types
were contrasted, and attentfon called "to,
the mistake so commonly made In the
nomenclature of the Shorthorn ' strains
of cattle. It Is customary with many
breeders to speak of Red Durhams and
Roan Durhams. This Is incorrect for
they are all Shorthorns. There Is no-registry
association for Durham, cattle, ex
cept the Polled Durham Association. All
of the so-called Durhams of pure breeding
are eligible to registry in the Shorthorn
Herd Book, but they are not registered
as Durhams, but as Shorthorns. We
should drop the use of the word Durham,
for It .s Incorrect, and In a measure mis
leading.' Professor E. R. Lake gave a very in
teresting discussion of the foundation,
equipment and wdrk of the Oregon Agri
cultural College, also Illustrated with the
stereoptlcon.
G. K. Van Riper reported excellent re
sults in the growing of "honest brome
grass" (bromus Inermls). He said ft grew
from three to three and a half feet high
on the dryest land he had on his ranch.
He thought It would do much better If Ir
rigated, stating that he knew of some
areas of It which had been Irrigated, and
the yield about doubled. He said alfalfa
would not thrive, for there was too much
cold weather, it being not uncommon to
have frosts every month In the year.
Ben Abbeloos stated that little annoy
ance had been caused by jack rabbits this
year. There appears to have been some
contagious disease among them just re
cently, for hundreds have been found dead
without any marks of violence about
them.
Many people In this vicinity are deeply
interested In the Irrigation law recently
enacted by Congress. It Is believed that
Immense areas of land In this valley can
easily be Irrigated under the reservoir
system.
SHIELDS' PARK CROWDED
Enthusiastic Spectntors Not Daunted
by Inclemen Weather.
The best evidence that Manager Shields
Is giving an excellent show at his park
was evidenced last night by a crowd that
packed the place and sat for three hours
In the cold and damp to witness the per
formance. The Japanese acrobats outdid
any of their acts of the previous week.
The double perch and the breakaway lad
der, both of which were over 20 feet long
and balanced on the shoulders of one
of the men, were watched with breathless
interest and every one was glad when
the two little Japs descended rfom their
lofty polsea They entertained for over
40 minutes.
Helen Lamar was given a hearty recep
tion upon her appearance, and "Why I
Wear the G. A. R. Badge," a pathetic
story of the Civil War, . with handsome
illustrations, won her much applause.
George Jones started his second week
with an assistant and a new lot of songs
and jokes, and made his usual hit The
polyscope closed the show with a new
assortment of pictures, and the spectators
left well pleased with what they saw and
heard, and forgetful of any discomfiture
the rain might have caused.

DECORATIONS ARE CHEAP
An Effort m French Parliament to
Abolish All Orders.
Philadelphia Record.
Recently In the Chamber M. Charles
Bernard lnttoduccd a motion to do away
with all civilian decorations, and this very
radical proposition received the support of
no less than 120 votes. This Is a sign of
the times. The bestowal of decorations has
In France become a screaming farce. We
have decorations and orders of every con
ceivable degree. In addition to the Le
gion of Honor, there are such decorations
as that for "agricultural merit" for rais
ing fat hogs and big carrots and so forth;
the "academic palms." for merit of a
nondescript educational order, and a host
of others. Notwithstanding that these or
ders are granted with an absurd profusion,
M. Bernard pointed out that 4000 palmes
ncademlqucs were given In one batch re
cently. The average Frenchman places an
Immense value on their possession and will
Intrigue and bribe and use all sorts of
backstairs Influence to obtain them. At
election times they are used openly and
notoriously as a means of political cor
ruption. If an elector Is active In sup
porting a given candidate and- that can
didate Is elected he Is expected to use his
Influence In having the elector decorated
for 'Vmlnent service to the state."
M, Bernard proved that many among
the 4000 who received the "academic
palms" on the last occasion could neither
read nor write. He said It would be
much simpler to consider all Frenchmen
decorated at birth.
The enormous work Involved In the dis
tribution of decorations is almost Incredi
ble. Hundreds of clerks are at work year
In ann year out classifying applicants for
the various decorations. In the case of the
4000 "palms" each candidate's name, rec
ord, character, claims, qualities had to be
Indexed and classified and finally decided
upon. TheJre were in all probability not
less than SOCO or 10.000 applicants.
Meanwhile the original object of such or
ders as the Legion of Honor a means of
marking bravery upon the field of battle
has been entirely lost sight of. Soldiers
who have won. medals upon the field and
they are very few have to share the hon
or with successful shopkeepers and with
ofllcers who receive their medal In the
simple course of promotion. A Legion ol
Honor goes with every commission above
that of Captain and most of the Cap
tains manage to get it for "special and
exceptional devotion to duty."
A University of Business.
Harper's Weekly.
We observe with interest that a faculty
of commerce has been created In the Uni
versity of Birmingham, England, which is
cxpecttd to begin work at the opening of
the coming university year. The object of
this new department JLs "the education of
those who will ultimately guide the busi
ness activity of the .country." A 'three
years' course, designed to confer the de
gree of bachelor of commerce, has been
drawn up, and Includes the study of lan
guages, history, applied science, business
technique, the subject of commerce Itself,
and accounting. The result of the experi
ment is eagerly looked forward to by those
Interested In England, and will be re
garded with some degree- of complacent
satisfaction by ourselves, since a similar
department has already been established,
and Is in operation, at the' New York Uni
versity In this city. The New York Uni
versity School of Commerce, Accounts and
Finance has been in" existence for two
years under the direct supervision of Mr.
Charles Waldo Hasklns, to whose energy
and Initiative It owes Its existence. It was
described at some length in Harper's
Weekly a year or two ago. We understand
that the work in this school has already
shown excellent results, and that a rec
ognition which was merely tho particular
Interest with which It was received by the
trustees of the university has gradually
become general. It has been evident to
those who have studied the subject that
the advantages of a mere apprenticeship
were no longer adequate to the demands
of the constantly broadening commercial
horizon of the country, and that the pri
vate school system of Instruction, viewed
from the standpoint of the practical needs
of the young business beginner, was to
tally Inadequate. The formulation of a
definitely prescribed course of study was
therefore undertaken, with the result that
within a few years It Is expected that the
