A property awner who called at the City Hall yester day to examine the ordinance regulating plumbing was astonished to find that Its number was 12.C5S. while on the last oc casion ne had to examine It, not long ago, It was numbered 11,369. He inquired haw the number of the ordinance had been Increased so much, and if it were not about time that some steps were taken to have the number of ordinances reduced to some reasonable figure. He was told that the number had been changed on account of the ordinance hav ing been repealed, and that If plumbers could have it changed as often as they wished, the number would soon be up to 20.090. He was further told that city offi cials and the legal fraternity were anx ious to have the ordinances renumbered and were in hope that the new city char ter, proposed and adopted some time ago by a Charter Commission, will be enacted as it stands, by the coming Legislature. Ordinances now run up to between 14,000 and 15,000. If they were gone over by a competent person familiar with them, hundreds, probably thousands, which are dead and useless could be left out and the remaining ordinances could be gotten Into a comparatively small volume and bo be made more convenient and easy of access. If this is not done before long th-re will be so many ordinances that it will be about Impossible to And any one of them. Last Warning to Doo-Owners. City Poundmaster Heed says his campaign against unlicensed dogs has only Just be gun, but it will be carried out vigorously ard systematically to the bitter end. He has had his dog-catchers and dog wagon out since Monday, and 125 unlicensed dogs hava been captured, but he 16 fully aware that at least 500 more unlicensed canines are hia away in cellars, outbuildings and back yards, to be kept concealed until the dog wagon ceases Its round. Mr. Reed sayr. he is not going to be fooled in this way, but will keep the dog-catchers and wagon out on duty until Christmas, if necessary. He has also employed" expert dog-catchers, who can catch and bring in any dog, however vicious. As an exam ple, ho states that one of' his experts caught, a day or two ago, a big black dog belonging to an old tamale man, which is known to dog-catchers as the "outlaw," and which has evaded 'capture for four years. The expert was badly bitten In the hand and arm in handling this brute, but he was secured and landed in the pound all right. After all, by a daring rush ugalnst a door, he succeeded In escaping, but Mr. Reed says he will be captured again, as the expert Is bounTl to have him. Citizens harboring dogs may as well pay Jlcense on them at once, or send them out of the city, for all unlicensed dogs will be closely looked after. Traveling Man Booms 1905 Fair. As an Instance of what traveling men can do for the Lewis and Clark Fair, the following Is reprinted from the Evening Post, of Grand Rapids, Mich.: "Traveling men, as a rule, are good advertisers, whether It be their own goods or something else they are boosting. For the past two years it has been the common practice for the St. Louis traveler, when registering at ,a hotel, to write after his name -1903, the Sato of the Louisiana Purchase Exposi tion. "When the fair was postponed for one year, the traveler at once began writ ing ISO! to designate the place from which he hailed. This morning Charles Rlng ler, of Portland, Or., brought the first news to town of an Exposition to be held at that place two years from now, by adopting the St. Louis style of regis tering." Charles Rlngler Is one of the traveling salesmen of the Acme Mills Company. In addition to the traveling men who visit Eastern points, that com pany has several demonstrators who are contlnuelly before the. public, and who make mention dally of Portland and the coming Lewis and Clark Exposition. Freak of Fruit Trees. Many of the Jrult trees about the city, and there Is a considerable number In the older settled residence portions did not produce their usual lavish crops this season, but In other places the trees were loaded. The rtory of a citizen who has two large plum trees on his premises will be Interesting to thoso who have to buy fruit for all purposes on the markets and complain of the extravagant prices they are charged: One of tho plum trees men tioned did not produce much fruit, but from the other was gathered all the fam ily could use, and all several youngsters rould cat and all that any friend of the owner could be persuaded to take. At last what were left were shaken and beaten off, and a man was paid 50 cents to gather them up and carry them away; In order to get the place cleaned up. The owner Is now contemplating cutting down one tree, but, as one bears one year and the other the next, he cannot tell which to cut. Loser Appeals to the Courts. Suit to recover ?200 from William M. Ayers, sec retary of the Portland Club, Fifth and Alder streets, was filed yesterday before Justice of the Peace Held, by Justice of the Peace Seton, who represents one Ed ward Nelson, who lost $100 In a faro game, September 1. In his affidavit Nelson states: "Ayers set up a faro game, and when I was In an Intoxicated and irresponsible condition I played a game of faro with Ayers and bet and lost a certificate of deposit Issued in my favor by Ladd & Tilton for $100. The certificate was In dorsed by me." As Is usual in such cases, Nelson sues to recover twice the monej he states he lost at the gambling table. Mr. Charles H. Sholes, having sold his residence, has Instructed Mr. Gilman to sell by public auction, on the premises, No. 204 Twenty-Second street.

Tho noise from a band of wild geese passing south yesterday afternoon set all who heard them talking about the chances for -rain. Many are earnestly desiring rain, prin cipally for the benefit of the sections devastated by fire, and to clear the at mosphere of smoke. Some want just a good rain for a day and a night. Others would like It to rain for a week, while many would like to sec the rain delayed for a few days, a week or longer, till their wood is In, their, building roofed, or their crop housed. It Is this lack of unanimity which holds back the season able rain. The first of next week the Autumnal equinox will occur; the sun will cross the line, and rise and set at 6 o'clock, and the day and night will be of the same length. The equinoctial gale Will be due then, and Is quite likely to bring rain, or to blow all the smoke away without the aid of rain. The equinox la almost certain to inaugurate some change In the weather, and it is hardly possible to conceive of any change at this time which will not be for the better. What Oreoon Soil Does. L. Samuel' has many choice plants and shrubs on his grounds, of which he is very proud, but at this time his affections are chiefly cen tered on a rhododendron bush and a holly tree. The rhododendron, which produced a beautiful crop of blossoms last Spring, has covered Itself with a full crop of R. F. PRAEL, ELECTED PRESIDENT MULTNOMAH CLUB. At the annual meeting of the board of directors of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, held at the clubhouse last evening, R. F. Prael was elected presi dent of the club, to nil the vacancy caused by tho resignation of Judge W. M. Cake; and P. E. Brigham and C F. Swigcrt -were elected director? to fill vacan cies caused by the resignations of Judge Cake and Dr. A. E. Mackay. Both Judge Cake and Jr, , Mackay rlvs as .the reasons for their resignations, the pressing' condition of their busmesa, Baying that they have no time- to attend to the regular-business of the organization. The new officers have been' members for many years past, though Messrs. Prael and Swlgert have not been particularly active. Mr. Prael was at one time a prominent athlete of this city, having done good work on the football field and in the rowing races on the river. Mr. Brlgbam's hobby in this line is bowling, la which Bport he takes great interest. buds, and Is now Just 'beginning to bloom for the second time, a most remarkable feat, which Is to be attributed to tho cli mate and soil of Oregon. The holly tree is still carrying last year's crop of ber ries, which arc not shriveled or decayed but are as plump, bright and gloBsy as ever, and the crop of berries fqr the sea son is just beginning to ripen and Is much larger than the crop of last year. This feat In berries Is of course also to be at tributed to the Oregon climate and soil. While Mr. Samuel rejoices In receiving double measure of flowers and berries, he Is troubled to know where the holly tree Is going to find room for next year's crop of berries. Third Regiment Drills. The first reg imental drill of tho Third Regiment, Ore gon National Guard, took place last night at the Armory, about 370 officers and men being present. Colonel Everett was in command. Tho drill was seriously inter rupted by the disappearance of the elec tric light, owing to a break In the circuit, and it was after 10 o'clock before suffi cient light could be secured for the con tinuance of work. Street riot drill was practiced, showing a number of Interest ing evolutions. Companie.8 B, C, D, E. F and the hospital detachment were ordered to report In fatigue uniform for Inspec tion and muster at the Armory, Wednes day evening, at 8:15 o'clock. At thf con clusion of the Inspection, a dance will follow, In the drill hall on the second floor of the Armory. Company F will have charge of the floor on this occasion. Weekly drills by company will be regu larly resumed September 29. Reception to Charles N: Crittenton. Mr. Charles N.

BULGER DID THE SHOOTING Ex-Pollcenran Fired at John O'Keefe in -Sclf-Defense. It developed yesterday that ex-Pollce-man Frank Bulger Is the roan who. 1" self-defense, shot John O'Keefe, 19 years old, In the left hip Wednesday night, near Second and Pine streets. O'Keefe Is rest ing as comfortahly as can be expected in St. Vincent's Hospital. No warrant has been sworn out against Bulger, and it is hardly probable that O'Keefe will take any steps to prosecute him, as In that event a counter-charge of assault and battery and making threats to kill will be made against him by the Bulger crowd. The trouble which led to the shooting dates back to the days when Bulger was a policeman and had territory around Chapman and Jefferson streets, known as "Goose Hollow," for his beat. On several occasions, Bulger says, O'Keefe and sev eral young men friends created disturb ances In the neighborhood and got under the Influence of liquor. For this O'Keefe was reprimanded by Bulger, and he got "sore." Bulger was afterward removed to another beat, and supposed that the 111 feellng displayed by O'Keefe would die out. About six weeks ago Bulger resigned from the police force and accepted a posi tion as driver of a lemonade wagon. Wednesday afternoon Bulger went into the Douglass saloon. Third and Pine streets, and met O'Keefe,'' who was with a young man friend. O'Keefe began to make some sneering references to the troubles which existed between Bulger and himself when the former was a po liceman around Goose Hollow. One hot word led to another, and Bulger and O'Keefe exchanged blows, but friends parted them. What followed was described by Bulger to an Oregonlan man last night In an In terview. "I went into the saloon again Wednesday night, thinking O'Keefe had gone away. He came at me, and I said: 'Get away from me or you'll get hurt; don-'t strike me.' But he let drive at me. and I got him by the .throat. Again tell ing him that I did not want any trouble, I went and sat In a room In the saloon for one hour, hoping that O'Keefe would calm down and go away. But I heard him say that he would finish me. Douglass, the proprietor of the saloon, came Into the room where I was, telling mo that O'Keefe was going to kill me. I asked for and re ceived my old revolver for self-protection. I went out at the side door and was walk ing down Pint street when O'Keefe and his friends saw me and Tan after me. O'Keefe ran up and struck me on the side of the head with a piece of gas pipe or something like It I turned my head to avoid the full force of the blow, and to save my life I fired one shot at him. I could have fired more if I had wanted to but I did not want to kill him. and my dog was4 snapping at him. O'Keefe and his friend then ran away. That was the last I saw of them." Bulger's right tem ple Is swollen and cut. O'Keefe told the police that he has no statement to make at present. EXCURSION TO WASHING TON, D. C.

Burton Howard Algernon Brlggs , Donald Bowles J. Cool Dragon Frank "MacYIckara -Gustavus Earle Williams The Mayor of Karlshop....J. C Fenton Mrs. Florence Arroln Lowell , Jllaa Chapman Mrs. Daphne Dabney Lowell Lillian Andrews .Alice Eucllde Lowell.... Louise Brownell Maggie McDowell Gertrude Keller A good comedy, well acted, gave pleas ure to the audience At the Marquam last night. "Prince Karl" Is a play with many ludicrous situations, and the per formance did not slur over any of them. Mr. Nelll was In a happy mood, and just when the spectators anticipated a drag he introduced some slight but telling change that sharpened Interest. The role Is somewhat difficult, though Mr. NelU's talents are especially In the lines of steady, not overzealous presentation. His German accent was so well' carried out that at times It was a shock. This at times saved a ratljer barren character from verging on boredom. Next to Mr. Nelll In point of importance in last even ing's production, Mr. Bowles as Algernon Brlggs undoubtedly made the rele his own. It Is rarely that playgoers have the privilege of witnessing such absolute ly consistent work In a part which, would seem to require an Inborn Imbecility prop erly o enact. Mr. Bowles has already proven to the people of Portland that he Is versatile, but his Innocuous and bea tific simplicity, his charming and Irre sponsible debility of Intellect as an Amer ican crudity eclipsed all previous efforts. Perhaps some of the effect of his good acting was due to Miss' Louise Brownell as Alice Lowell. Miss Brownell's statu esque beauty was so good a foil to Mr. Bowles' simplicity of feebleness that It was difficult to Judge them separately. In all her work Miss Brownell Just misses high success, probably becauso she never loses -self-consciousness. Mr. Bloomquest, through no fault of his own, was not a good Spartan Spotts. He has too much youthful exuberance to give proper depth to his work, and his performance was sadly flat. Miss An drews boro the burden of several scenes with great ability, and has recovered from the hoarseness so annoying on for mer nights. Miss Chapman was piquant and charming as the young widow, and, apart from a trick of getting her cue from the audience, did excellently. The minor parts wore efficiently filled. To night, tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night "The Starbucks," a character drama by Ople Rea3, will be presented. "Nancy & Co." to Open at the Baker. The firm- of "Nancy & Co." will open business at the Baker Theater Sunday afternoon, and will deliver bright and snappy goods all next week. "Nancy & Co." is one of Augustin Daly's best comedies. It Is full of just the kind of humor that keeps an audience In an up roar from the rise and until tie fall of the curtain. The Nelll Stock Company Is exceptionally well suited to play com edy, and the patrons of the Baker The ater can look forward with a great deal of pleasure to next week. Mlna Gleason, who has created a most favorable Im pression with the local theater-goers, will be seen as Mrs, Huldah Dangery, a char acter that will give her another opportu nity to demonstrate her great versatility. Fred Mower will be seen as Ebenezer Griffin, and Elsie Esmond as the fair Daisy Griffin. The other members of this clever organization have good parts, and an excellent performance may be ex pected. There will be a matinee tomorrow after noon of "Lady Windermere's Fan," which is being well presented this week. MUCH-NEEDED RAIN FALLS ShoTrers Over State Will Remove Danger of Forest Fires. The much-desired rain has come at lasf, and the prospect is that it will con tinue long enough to put ont all forest Ores. A light shower began falling at Portland about 4 o'clock yesterday after noon, and Increased during the evening, but up to midnight had hardly attained the character of a good Oregon rain. Forecast Official Beals predicts continued showers up to midnight tonight. In speaxing oi xne weainer last evening ne said he expects to see rainy weather con tinue two or three days at least, though his-official forecast covers only the pres ent day. He sees no reason to believe that there will be storms or heavy down pours, though the conditions might change rapidly and bring about heavy rains. In British Columbia rain has been fall ing several days. The stprms kept reach ing farther south each day until yester day, when they reached Portland. At 5 o'clock last evening no rain had fallen at Roseburg, the first point of observation south of Portland. The rain caused a great feeling of re lief, for now It Is quite certain that the forest flres will give no more trouble. The great danger was that a heavy wind would spring up and spread the fire by carrying burning embers. Since tho sur face of the ground has been moistened there Is little danger from this source. It will take very heavy rains to extin guish the fires entirely, for fire works slowly along the roots of trees under ground, and will break out at some new place many days afterward. Only a soaking rain will extinguish flres under such circumstances. The hop crop Is practically all In. Many growers have two days' picking yet, but the remainder of the crop will be gathered without any Injury whatever. Many growers have already completed picking. WHERE TO DINE.
