"The little tiger cub" "was tho main
topic of discussion among the circus peo
ple yesterday. MAnd to think that the
little tiling Is going to live," said the
women, gazing at It with admiring eyes.
"I have been with, the circus over 20
years," said Henry Abbott, the doorkeeper,
"and in that time there halve not been
more than half a dozen tigers born. It
is a very rare thing for them to bo born
her reserved seat was In the ninth row
up. She Immediately attacked the usher.
"Is that seat Bafe?"
"Yes, ma'am," 'was the answer.
"Are you. surer
"Certainly, madam."
"But I won't take it," she declared.
"That's the 6eat your ticket calls for,"
expostulated the usher.
"That's eettled," announced the care
ful mother triumphantly, "I won't take
It."
The usher, nearly extinguished -under
the Impatient crowd behind him, motioned
feebly toward tho ticket seller in the al
leyway. Finally he gasped out, "Go and
get that man to change your seat for
you and don't block the passage."
The woman looked rapidly over tho
crowd till she eaw a safe looking man
and then promptly set tho child on his
lap with an injunction to see that It came
to no harm. Before the unwilling guar
dian could remonstrate she was gone in
search of the man who changed tickets.
An Interested multitude craned their
necks to see her success, and It was with
uproarious laughter that they eaw her
dive with her new ticket into a section
a hundred feet away in search of her
baby. Here she held up every man with
a fierce Inquiry as to where her child was.
Man after man solemnly averred that he
bad no child concealed about his person.
Finally the man who had the child stood
up and signaled wildly to the distracted
mother with the result that she swept
across all barriers, snatched up the lost

City Engineer Orders It Barricade
Traffic "Will Be Diverted to
Union-Avenne Bridge. ,
Tho Grand-avenue bridge across Sulli
van's Gulch was closed and barricaded
at both ends yesterday by order of City
Engineer Eliot, on account of its danger
ous condition. It had been the intention
of the City Engineer to have this bridge
repaired, but on examination it was found
that it would cost about J5C0 to fix it up
so as to make it safe for the next two
years, hence it was decided to close it up.
The Union-avenue bridge across Sullvan's
Gulch will be repaired, as it Is in better
condition, and will carry the traffic of the
two structures.
The Grand-avenue .bridge is ES feet high
and 400 feet long. It rests on uncertain
cribbing, which was found to be rotten
and in bad condition. Originally the
bridge, foundation was of short piles, but
when these became shaky the bents were
placed on any old thing found la the
slough, mainly logs and planks. To make
tho bridge secure would require a new
of maragers of the Patton Home, on Mich
igan avenue, Alblna. In the absence of
Mrs. Theodore Jilcolal, president, Mrs.

are given in the afternoon of every third

THE SECOND DAY OF RINGLINGS' CIRCUS PRESENTED FEATURES "WORTHY OF AN OREGONIAN ARTIST'S PEN.
In captivity. Of these there have been
not more than three that lived for any
time at all. This one seems to be strong
and has every prospect of surviving."
Rlngllng Bros.' -circus has visited Port
land three times, and each time has added
to the list of animals. During the first
stay, In 1S9S. two lions were born. In
1900, again, two Hons were born, and this
trip' has been the red-letter trip of them
all, and now Portland is one of the very
few cities in the United States that can
claim the distinction of being the birth
place of a tiger.
The mother is a beautiful Bengal tiger
that "has been with the show for about
three years. About two years ago a little
cub was bom, but she devoured it at
once. "It has been observed by the ani
mal trainers that in nearly every instance
the tigers devour the first young ones
that they bear, but after that if any are
born the mother usually makes an effort
to raise them," said one of the attend- i
ants.
The father is a Siberian tiger, and claims
the distinction of being the largest one
that was ever brought to tho United
States. He Is a handsome fellow and
seemed yesterday to be on his highest
dignity, although he is probably not yet
aware of the great honor- that has been
conferred upon him.
The cub was born early yesterday morn
ing and the keeper took every precaution
in the little fellow's behalf. "The only
thing that we can do is to let nature have
Its way and to make the surroundings of
the mother as natural as possible," said
he. "Frequently, as soon as the -little
ones are born, tho mother seizes them in
her mouth and attempts to escape. In
her efforts she bruises it against the bars
and kills it. We keep the cage perfectly
flark, like a jungle, and she is contented
to lie etlll and care for it- It would mean
death to It to let tho least light into the
cage."
"Is the mother especially fierce upon an
occasion like this?" he was asked.
"Tigers are always very fierce, and It
Is a dangerous thing at any time to go
Into their cage," said he. "All that wo
san do Is to keep it as dark and quiet as
possible and not allow anything to dis
turb her. If she does not raise it. It is not
possible for it to be saved."
When, asked as to the chances of the lit
tle one 'surviving, he said:
"If it survives the first few days and
there seems to be every -chance that It
will there Is a good chance for it to live.
Most of them die during the first few
hours. There are a great many Hons
raised in captivity, but there are but a
very few tigers that live to be more than
a few hours old."
"Is there any difference between the
disposition of a tiger that is bom in cap
tivity and one that Is captured In the
Jungles?" he was asked.
"No," said he; "it does not seem to
make -any difference. They seem to be
Just as fierce as any."
"Have you decided what will be the
little fellow's name?
"No," said he; "but I suppose that the
honor will have to go to Portland. We
will either call It Portland or Oregon. Its
mother and father have no names other
than they are known as the Bengal tiger
and the Siberian tiger. I think that this
one will be known as the Oregon tiger."
ONE MORE DAY AT THE CIRCUS.
Great Croivds Attend, and All Have
a Good Time.
Every boy who could wheedle his father
Into taking him. went to tho circus yes
terday. And every boy was apparently
accompanied by his family. From early
morning till the hour of folding the tents
the youth of Portland peered, and
watched, and shouted, and squealed
about the grounds on Savier 6treet. And
the sedatest of parents felt the conta
gion, and sat In perspiring rows on the
hard benches during the performances
without a murmur.
From the time that one approached tho
fields on which the tents were spread
there was a very evident atmosphere of
tumultuous expectancy, and when the en
trance was passed staid decorum was
thrown to the winds and white-haired
men were to be seen boldly poking the
hippopotamus and screwing their eyes at
the little gratings of the closed wagons
The small boy of the family usually took
entire charge of his helpless relatives
and piloted them vociferously through the
maze. When tho first display came into
the ring, then the various crowds be
came one, and people who never had felt
before the sweet congeniality of a circus
multitude punched their unknown neigh
bors in the side arid besought them to
watch Ring No. 3 or Stage No. 1.
As the people were being settled in their
seats by the hustling ushers, a good many
little Incidents kept the crowd "In a good
temper. There was the man with eight
children who tried to stow his offspring
in five seats: the woman with one lone
chick who looked upon every unshaven
man as a possible kidnaper; and most
prominent of. all the fond mother who
wasn't going to risk her children's p
clous limbs In any seat over a foot off
the ground. One such woman found, that
of the ushers could not budge her.
In ono section there was a whole row
of fat men. and much to the disgust of a
family of youngsters behind them, there
was not much visible through the lnster
stices. They stood It as long as they
could and then a small girl put her mouth
to the car of the most obstructive of the
lot and said in a whisper perfectly audi
ble to tho whole section, "Say, please,
Mr. Fat Man, you'e so puffy that me and
Johnny can't see through you." The
portly Individual made the best repara
tion in his power by reaching around and
picking the little girl up and setting her
on his capacious knee. The two watched
the performance on the beat of terms,
and the bit of a lass had all the pink
lemonade and candy she could hold.
Among tho elders, the chief pleasure
seemed to be in freshening tho memories
of youth. Ono man quite diverted his
small son's attention from the slnuouo
charms of the contortionist by the story
of how he used to go to the circus.
"Was there circuses then? ' asked the
boy in some amazement.
"Well, I should say so," replied his
father. "Yhy, when I was a little boy
back in Pennsylvania, we used' to -get up
real early In the morning and go out and
see tho elephant's tracks in the dust.
Then we'd all hitch up our team and go
and see the circus In the afternoon."
The youngster was visibly impressed by
this" but seeing that he was losing some
of the most exciting parts of the
show, he laid a kindly handon his fath
er's knee and said, "Please, papa, don't
tell me about It now. Some uver time I
won't be quite so busy."
In the side shows there were not so
many children, but more young couples,
who felt that the spending of an unneces
sary dime was a dissipation Indeed. They
lewed the human fish, the three-legged
boy and the dancer with admiration. The
opulent charms of the snake witch were a
sufficient attraction for the young men,
who were with difficulty dragged away
by their sweethearts. Probably the most
attractive object to the femlnineportlon of
sightseers was the pigmy. Several moth
erly women opined that ho had not been
fed properly, and one asserted loudly her
belief that It was simply a cause of the
rlcketts. This diagnosis she proved by an
extended reference to the course of this
disease In her own family. The professor
in charge tried to controvert this damag
ing charge by scornful references to the
'records of the world," but the female
portion of his audience seemed much in
clined to take the more prosaic and piti
ful view.
The most alluring part of the show was
not on exhibition yesterday. A tiger cub
was born during the circus stay in Port
land, but the careful keepers denied any
one the privilege of seeing it. But in
spite of this the features were so plenti
ful that many a small boy will be supplied
with fodd for Imagination and story for
many a week to come. As the crowd was
leaving the tent in the afternoon, one
diminutive youth was heard to sigh to his
mother. "I wish that other 6how wasn't
comln so soon, for I ain't in any fit fix
to see another very soon." His mother
comforted him as best she could by telling
him that -a good night's sleep would make
him all right. When he seemed to doubt
this, she settled the matter by remark
ing, "Well, maybe your father won't let
you go to that, anyway." Thore was ap
parently no doubt in the boy's mind after
this that his one desire In life was to see
the Wild West Show. Perhaps his mother
was pretty well acquainted with boy
nature after all.

CIRCUS CROWD AT SHIELDS'
Good Programme Draws Larse At-
tendance at vaudeville Park.
Shields' Park was back to its normal
condition last night, and the attendance
was Just as large as if a circus had
never come to town, and everyone was
pleased with the programme.
Borton and Draper were on hand, ar
riving on a belated train. Leonard and
Leonard made a bigger hit than ever In
their comedy musical act. Amateur

has compensated his amateur talent, but
now they offer to pay4hlm for the privi
lege oi appearing.

now under Mr. Shields management.
passed through Portland last night on
weir way to a park In Boise, Idaho,
-which is also under his management.
They play there for one week and then
return to Shields' Park to perform dur
ing the Carnival. An entire new show has
been booked for next week.
torn of the culch has never been found,
this would be difficult. When the railroad
trestle that first carried the railroad
through the gulch was built, several plies
were driven one on top of the other, but
no solid foundation was ever reached, and
an embankment was finally built.

use it. It is probably closed Indefinitely.
The Union-avenue bridge is really an older
bridge, but Is" in a safer condition than
the other structure, tl carries tho Port
land Railway Company's cars to Wood
lawn and Vancouver. With some repairs
It can be made to last several years. There
was a provision in the franchise of the
old Willamette Street Railway Company,
on Grand avenue, and the Vancouver RallV
way Company, on Union avenue, which
were succeeded by the present companies
now holdine franchises on these avenues.
! to pay one-third of the cost of rebuilding
the bridges over Sullivan's Gulch. Whether
these provisions are yet in effect. Is not
known. As one of these bridges will have
to be rebuilt within two years, or less, it
might be profitable. to trace out the re
sponsibility of the two : companies under
their present franchises.. .: The require

of about 500 horsepower were received. A
short time ago a generator of the same
capacity was received, and tho massive

The brick building originally built for

The new generator will stand In an annex

no room for It inside. Preparations are
being made for the foundation of the ma
chine. The tubular boiler will be set up
on the place now occupied by tho fuel
house, which Is shortly to be torn down.
This additional power is required because
of the St. Johns line, which is to be elec
trified, and also to provide for the other
extensions the company is making, and
contemplates making very soon. New and
more powerful generators are constantly
required to propel cars over tho 70 miles

Evening Star Grange. No. 27, Patrons of

ing site at the turn in the Section Line
road a. mile east of the Mount Tabor -reservoir.
This grange meets in what is
called Multnomah Hall, a short distance

for Its growing membership.
The site contains something over two
lots, and was purchased for $200. Money
was raised by subscription among the
members. It Is not the intention of the
grange to build a new hall until Multno

How Postmaster "Wants Addition to
Postofilcc Built.
In order to secure such quarters as are
needed by the posto'fflce employes. Post
master Croasman has written to the su
pervising architect of the Treasury De
partment, asking that plans as arranged
by the Federal Judges ana mmseir do
submitted to a local architect, and that
the addition to the postofflce building be
designed by him. It wrfs largely through
Mr. Croasman's InstrumentaJUty. that the
appropriation for the: addition was se
cured, and now that- tho money Is at
hand, ho believes that the local officers
should be allowed to make arrangements
for their .future quarters. In his letter to
Supervising Architect Taylor he said it
was the opinion that the appropriation
should bo expended for a wing which
should be built on the south side of the
property, extending, from Fifth to Sixth
streets, and from the present building to
the sidewalk. The building of such" a
wing, Mr. Croasman said, would not In
ar.y way disturb the employes of the
office, and It would cause only a few 'al
terations in the main building. If built
of tho same stone as the present build
ing, it would exhaust the entire appro
priation, but it would afford better quar
ters than any other plan devised. In a
few years an addition on Morrison street
would be necessary, and when finally
completed the building would have the
snaps of the letter H, and there would
bo no trouble about light in any of Its
rooms.
Ono reason why Mr. Croasman favors
an H-ahaped building is that any other
sort of a structure would mean the los3
of tho beautiful trees which are so great
ly admired by all visitors to Portland.
Tho wings as proposed by him will neces
sitate the removal of only a few trees,
and nearly all of those at the Fifth and
Sixth-street entrances will remain.
