Sjjali, Bot and Dynamite Cap. Will
lam G. Fuller, a mining man. who has
been prpspecting along the foothills of the
Cascades In Southern Oregon for several
months, tells of a rather singular accident
In the family of a miner named O'Brien,
who has .lately located a tract of land
and Is going to try farming. He was
clearing off a piece of his land, and, hav
ing "been familiar with the use of giant
powder In mining, he determined to use
it in blasting out a lot of stumps. He
procured a number of the giant-powder
cartridges and caps to correspond, and a
few days ago, when it was raining, he
undertook to place the caps on the cart
ridges to have them ready. After he had
put on several he found one cap from
which most of the percussion powder was
missing. He laid this to one side and
went on with his work until stopped by
an explosion and a chorus of yells. The
would-be farmer's family consists of his
wife and four;boys, the youngest about
2 and the oldest about S years of age.
When Mr. Fuller saw them, one had a
rag around a thumb and a finger, another
a rag around his ear, the third a rag
around his nose and the fourth a tag
around his mouth. The children had been
watching their father cap the cartridges
and when he laid a cap aside, the oldest
boy had picked it up and tried to dig the
contents out with a nail. An explosion
followed and the cap was blown to pieces,
badly injuring the forefinger and thumb
that held it, and the flying fragments
wounding the other three on lips, ear and
nose. O'Brien says when he goes to
work with giant powder in the future, he
will go out doors and leave the children
in the house. It was fortunate that the
cap did not explode the cartridges, or the
O'Brien family would probably have been
exterminated.
Great Dat's Duck-Shooting. Sports
men generally report a magnificent day's
duck-hooting on Sunday. The weather,
was not so rough and rainy as on the
previous Sunday, and ducks were plenti
ful, the great flight from the north being
fairly on. Big killings were made all the
way from the mouth of the Sandy down
to Kalama, and there were many more
mallard than usual. Parties of four who
have good shooting grounds averaged 200
to 300 ducks for the day. In the 300 fowl
brought home by one party of four, there
was a large and beautful swan, which
stood as high as a email man. There were
one goose, a large percentage of mallard,
& lot of teal, widgeon, a few sprlgtall,
a few bluebllls, a few spoonbills, a wisp
of snipe, a few butterballs and some
other species of ducks, the whole making
up a nice assortment. Sportemen say
that there Is no danger of the ducks scat
tering out to the grainflelds yet, and the
prospect is that the shooting will remain
good for some time.
Havb You Old Reading Matter?
Those in charge of the Portland Public
Library frequently receive requests for
old reading matter and back numhbers ot
magazines from persons out of town who
are desirous of starting local libraries.
The Portland institution has but a small
supply of this material, as all back num
bers of magazines are bound in book
form, and such requests can very seldom
be complied with. At a committee meet
ing held yesterday afternoon it was de
cided that a request should be issued to
patrons or the library that they send all
good reading matter, for which they no
longer have use, to the superintendent,
who will see that it is properly distributed
to worthy people. It is hoped that a
State Library Commission will be created
soon to superintend such work as this.
Small lots of reading matter often form
the nucleus for a library in a small
country town that will afterward grow to
a very creditable Institution.
Mischief Done by Pheasant. A num
ber of people whose electric lights went
out suddenly Sunday evening and re
mained out for some time, will be aston
ished to learn what caused the in
terruption. They probably attributed it
to the storm, as did the line repairer,
until he found a wire burned off and a
Mongolian pheasant lying below the
break. It was plain that the pheasant,
flying swiftly, had struck the wire and
caused it to swing against another in
such a manner as to be burned in two.
The repairer sent the pheasant to En
gineer Thompson merely -as evidence of
good faith. He said it was a good bird,
but be w'ould rather have birds shot in
the usual way than have a string of lights
put out by one in killing itself on a live
wire.
Rain Delats Building. The almost
continuous rain of the past week has put
a slight damper on building operations,
but this will be dispelled by a few flno
days. Contractor Cook, who has the ex
cavation for the building of the Edward
Holman Undertaking Company, at Third
and Salmon, almost finished more than a
week ago. Is still waiting Impatiently for
a chance to finish it. He has had the
excavation drained or pumped out twice,
but it still looks as If Intended for a swim
ming bath. A little more work would
allow of the foundation being laid, but the
times are not propitious for the work.
Messrs. Holman are in no hurry, as they
are still busy with preliminaries .getting
bricks at $S0 per thousand, and special
plate glass made.
Cohn's Houses Are Moving. Tenth and
Stark streets are blocked with the two
residences being moved from S. Morton
Cohn's property at Tenth and "Washington
to his corner at Oak and Park streets.
One of the houses had to be swung upon
the sidewalk in order to make the turn
and its height has interfered' - with the
telephone wires, several of which became
crossed, bringing the telephone men out
on the run. The residents of the houses
have not been disturbed and are living
comfortably while their homes are being
moved three blocks. The contractor, A.
D. Moody, is the man who forcibly re
moved the residence of Mrs. Whiting,
who refused to move from the middle of
Belmont street last Winter.
Mrs. Montague's Death. Mrs. Eliza
beth Montague, wife of Denard Montague,
347 Clay street, died on Wednesday last,
after an illness of nearly a year's dura
tion. She leaves a husband, three daugh
ters, and several grandchildren to mourn
her loss. Deceased was born near Clrcle
vllle, O., her maiden name being Eliza
beth Hedges. She was a devoted Chris
tian, and had for many years been a
member of the Taylor-street M. E.
Church. The funeral services were held
at Flnley & Son's undertaking parlors on
Sunday afternoon, and were conducted by
Rev. H. V. Haslam. the interment taking
place in Greenwood cemetery.
Large Burbank Potatoes. X. A. Bak
er, who lives on Portsmouth avenue, yes
terday brought to The Oregonian office
two Burbank potatoes, one of which
weighs pounds, and the other 3 pounds.
These, he says, many have pronounced
the largest Burbanks ever raised. They
had no cultivation except by a hoe. His
ground is evidently well adapted to potato
growing. The Burbank is a very fine
potato, but not addicted to growing to
great sizes, like the Peerless and some
other varieties. Mr. Baker has donated
these large potatoes to the permanent
exhibit.

Fruitless Trips of Fishermen. There
have been no large catches reported of
late by trout fishermen, and ordinary peo
ple would not imagine that anyone would
think of going "troutlng" in such weather
as has prevailed of late. There are oome
fishermen so enthusiastic, however, that
they must go out and look at the fishing
places once in a while, even if they can
not throw a line. A party of such en
thusiasts drove away out to the bridge
over the Sandy, above Troutdale. the
latter part of last week. They must have
known that it had been raining and so
need not have been surprised to find the
Sandy roily and rising, with no possible
chance of getting even a bite. They had
to feed and rest their horses before, they
could start for home and, while they
waited, the river rose five feet. .They
think there must have been a cloudburst
up the river. They never uncased their
rods and' were glad when they escaped
alive. Two other fishermen started for
Scappoose the last of the week. when
they reached the flouring mills below
Albina and saw the rain coming down
In torrents and the Willamette In flood
rushing to join the Columbia, they con
cluded it was no weather for fishing and
so leaped ashore and came back home.
Punishment Fits the Crime. A pedes
trian on his way to board an up-town
car yesterday morning, in crossing the
street, narrowly escaped being run over
by a milkman, who was driving as furi
ously as Jehu, the son of Nlmshi. Reach
ing the sidewalk in safety, he was pleased
to see, as the milkman passed over the
wornout crossing, two of his cans of
milk Jump overboard and land on their
tops fn the mud. He had hardly got out
of sight around the corner when another
wagon came along at a rapid pace and
the crossing threw a bucket of mince
meat 10 feet n the air. In. 'falling it struck
a car track and burst, A laboring man,
who had come up,, asked: "What will
come next? Eggs, I hope. By jabers, I
think I will get a. big basket and stand
hero to catch things as they come down."
The man who 'drives too fast may' run
over a .person o'rice In a while, but every
thing 'does no,t,i:ome his way.
Affairs -of--Pesbtterian Churches.
The Presbyterian ministers of the city
at their regular meeting at the First
Presbyterian Church yesterday morning
had a discussion .of the personal effort
conducted by the clergymen during the
week just ended. Rev. E. T. Allen, the
assistant pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church, read a paper. Rev; H. H. Pratt
will be Installed pastor of the Forbes
Presbyterian Church next Thursday even
ing, and at this meeting Rev. Charles
Hays, of St. Johns Presbyterian Church,
will be received as a member of the pres
bytery of Portland. Rev. A. A. Hurd, of
the Fulton Presbyterian Church, has, on
the urgent requejlt of the congregation,
recalled his resignation which he tendered
a short time ago, and he will continue as
pastor of the Fulton and Fulton Park
Churches.
Inspecting the Weather Bureau.
William B. Conger, an inspector of the
United States Weather Bureau, has been,
in the city for the past few days in con
sultation with Forecast Official Edward
A. Beals regarding the service on the
Coast. Ho has Inspected the stations on
Puget Sound and at Astoria and North
Head, and after another week in this dis
trict will return to Detroit. Mr. 'Conger
is one of the three inspectors who regu
larly inspect the Weather Bureau branch
of the Department of Agriculture, and a
year is required to cover each district.
"We will soon establish a storm-warning
station at Chinook," he says, "and this
in connection with the one at Astoria will
warn the fishermen of approaching
storms."
White Mushrooms in Favor. Boys
who used to furnish the principal supply
of mushrooms to the Portland market are
out of the busincrs now and say that the
man who introduced the new species of
whlte-gilled mushrooms is making a for
tune. He brings in as many as he can
carry several times a day and finds a
ready sale for them at a price more
profitable than any garden product brings.
Many now prefer the new mushroom to
the old species, and. all eat them who can
get them, and the supply appears to be
very large. If rain is all that is neces
sary to produce mushrooms, the crop
ought to be a continuous one these days.
Almonds Raised in Oregon. Colonel
Dosch is on deck again at the Permanent
Exhibit. He was yesterday preserving a
lot of soft-shelled almonds raised on his
own place near the city. One limb, 10
inches in length, had 27 large almonds on
it, and a longer limb was about as heavily
loaded. They were of the "Improved
Languedoc" variety and have all gone in
to a jar of liquid, to remain there to show
that almonds grow here and make a
bountiful crop.
O. Lord Not in Court. In calling out a
list of persons who had been arrested for
drunkenness and had afterward been re
leased on bail. Policeman Patton warbled
in the Municipal Court, yesterday: "O.
Lord." There was no response. "I'm afraid
he Isn't here," observed Deputy City At
torney Fitzgerald, looking over the room.
"I move that his bail of fo be forfeited."
Then this entry was written in the
records: "O. Lord, $5 bail forfeited."
"Sats He Has Friends in Court. Al
phonse Ram, a Frenchman, was in the
Municipal Court yesterday charged with
being drunk, and he said, in Imperfect
English, that he was Innocent and had
friends in the courtroom who would help
him, but was unable to give' their names.
"Maybe Gaston is one," suggested a by
stander. The defendant grinned, and was
held in $10 ball for a hearing today.
Houghton and Mehan Under Bail.
The well-known "Chick" Houghton and
Fred Mehan were in the Municipal Court
yesterday, charged with the larceny of a
small sum of money from Steve Bolch, on
Fourth street near Everett. Both de
fendants waived the usual examination
and were each held In J250 ball for the
grand jury.

And others Just as good.
It was called a musical comedy in three
actst Its name was given as "Over the
Fence" and it was played last night at
the Marquam.
The above Is as much definite informa
tion as can be gleaned about this superb
work of genius. To watch it open eyed
required a degree of effort positively ex
hilarating as brilliant bit of wit followed
brilliant bit of wit. The jokes must have
been good; for their antiquity was proven
and most of them have amused boys at
recess since this glorious country has-been
able to "boast a public school system.
Unfortunately the author .in his haste to
amaze and dazzle the world with the
scintillating conceptions of his brain for
got to put in a plot Therefore, when,
the comedian ejaculates with -fervor, "Go
way back and sit -down" the straining
audience is mystified in the midst of its
wild glee at such originality. It seems
almost necessary to explain the plot for
the benefit of the public; there were but
few people left at the end of the second
act. But it is impossible.
The presentation of this musical comedy
was positively 'wierd. The first impres
sion was that all the actors had been
taken sick and the sceneshif ters had been
hastily brought on. Then the realization
came that bis work was entirely too un
workmanlike for any man with a trade.
The final and only conclusion was that
the whole cast was crajsy. One nice thing
may be said about the performers: They
entered into their .parts with such en
thusiasm that they made them their own.
Therefore the gallery hissed. Not to
appear unduly harsh it might be stated
that the people had no lines whatever.
Yet even this was a. blessing to the listen
er at times. Various specialties were
announced, but owing to the uncertain
temper of the gallery most were omitted.
Those that were not passed over were un
appreciated. Whoever manages this "production"
believes that variety is the spice of a.
good show. The chorus girls were good
looking, but as no two of them were
dressed in uniformity the effect was
marred. There was absolutely no scenery
attempted and the singing was pretty bad.
Still, Mr, Lewis is entitled to the praise
of having at least danced well, and a
horse trick, at the end of the second act,
verged on the comical, though not danger
ously. There was a great amount of firing of
pistols and guns, this being, as everyone
knows, an indispensable adjunct to a
musical comedy. Tho fatalities, while
numerous, were confined to the audience.
Aside from all other-glaring defects and
imbecilities the jokes (by courtesy) were
grossly vulgar and the horseplay exceed
ingly offensive. "Over the Fence" may
carry away the palm for the worst show
in Portland this season.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Nctt Star Tonight.
Mr. Horace Lewis, for many years a
popular comedian and character actor,
the past five years leading comedian at
the Castle Square Theater, Boston, will
appear in Sol Smith Russell's famous
comedy-drama, "A Poor Relation," at
the Marquam Grand Theater . tonight and
tomorrow night
The great popularity of "A Poor Rela
tion" and the great success of this play
the last, few years,, oc since Mjr. Russell's
retirement, has induced Mr. Berger to con
tinue the play, and it is with pleasure that
the management announces that Mr. Hor
ace Lewis, the popular comedian of the
Castle Square Theater, Boston, has been
secured to appear as Noah "Vale, the part
made famous by the late Mr. Russell. It
is said that Mr. Lewis resembles Mr. Rus
sell wonderfully In personal appear
ance, individuality and facial expression.
Mr. Mitchell, dramatic critic of the Cincin
nati Enquirer, in writing of Mr. Lewis,
says: "One could shut his eyes and imag
ine he was listening to Sol Smith Russell
himself."
"Hello Bill."
The advance sale of seats will open to
morrow morning at 10 o'clock for the jolly
comedy, "Hello Bill," which comes to tho
Marquam Grand Theater next Friday and
Saturday nights, with a popular matinee
Saturday.
MORE SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Large Increase In Attendance In
Portland During Lnt Month.
Portland has about 750 more school chil
dren than it had one year ago. The num
ber of pupils registered at the close of
the pa3t school month, November 8, was
11.799. One year before it was 11,051. These
figures indicate that the pupils who regis
ter In the course of the year will number
about 14,000. Last year the number was
13,299. As an index to the growth of the
city's population, the increase In this
year's attendance shows that Portland
has about 6000 more people than it had in
1901, and' that its -population is between
105,000 and 110,000. ,

REPAIRING THE BRIDGE.
Worlc of City and Rnllivaj- Company
on Front-Street Structure.
The work of strengthening and stiffen
ing the First-Street bridge across Mar
quam's Gulch is progressing rapidly. The
repairers put In nearly three days' work
on the job last week, and a large gang of
City & Suburban employes and city em
ployes was at work yesterday. The bridge
is what Is called a "three-decked bridge,"
that is, there are three tiers of bents, one
cn top of another, making an average
height of 60 feet The decay of the tim
bers Idid along one row of bents to sup
port another caused the weakness of the
bridge, some of. the bents being" bulged
where these timbers have given way, till
they are seven Inches out of the penpen
dlcular. New 6x8 timbers are being bolted
to- the sound timbers of the bents the
whole length of the bridge, and 6x6 tim
bers are-'run diagonally from the top of
one bent to the. foot of the next, and
finally bolted. This is being done to the
three tiers of bents, which makes them
firm and rigid. Timbers will be run out
from each tier of bents against the sides
of the gulch, so that the bridge cannot
move forward or back. When all this
bracing is completed it will be impossible
for the bridge to fall, unless, as City
Engineer Elliott says, it falls standing.
The structure will be safe in a few days.

BE CAREFUL ABOUT MAIL
Have Letters Addressed to Your
Street and Number.
Much delay and annoyance are caused
in the local post.ofilce by mail coming from
out-ofTtown places to Portland without
being properly addressed. One of the mail
clerks on a road running into Portland
in. the morning has sent the following
Item to The Oregonian, with the request
that it be printed. Portland is getting to
be a pretty good-sized village, and met
ropolitan customs should be complied with.
The Item reads:
"It Is probably not generally known by
the citizens of Portland that the letters
for the city are separated 'to carriers' by
the railway postal clerks on all overland
lines reaching the city that is, the let
ters for each carrier's district are tied
up separately, so that no delay is caused
by. their separation after arrival. Hence
the necessity for street and number ad
dress on letters for delivery here. Al
though the railway postal clerks are re
quired to know the boundaries of the car
rier districts, it can scarcely be expected
that they should know the inhabitants
thereof. Even though a person may have
been in business at the same number for
a decadl, the railway postal clerk, who
possibly has lived all that time In Wolf
Creek or Scappoose, may not know him,
and if his mail be not properly addressed,
it is compelled to await distribution by
the 'nixie' clerk In the office, and conse
quently subject to more or less delay.
Therefore, if you want it delivered with
celerity, certainty and security, have your
mall addressed to street and number."

STORM ALONG THE COAST
Ships Cannot Enter Farmers and
River Steamboatincn Are Happy.
The storm which has been raging off
the Coast for several days increased In
velocity yesterday morning. North Head
reported a wind of 60 miles an hour. All
the ships which have been trying to enter
the river were forced to put to sea
again, and at last reports none was in
sight The storm has extended from
Southern California to British Columbia
and rains have fallen over the greater
part of California. The wind has shifted
from southeast -to southwest, but has
blown steadily and persistently.. The wires
from the Cape Flattery weather station
were down for several days and have
just been repaired. No damage to ship
ping has been reported and this is prob
ably due to the storm warnings which
have been sent out by the weather ob
servers. Though showers fell over Southern Ore
gon several days ago, the present storm
has been welcomed by the farmers who
may now finish their Fall plowing. North
ern California ha3 usually little rain at
this time of the year and the dry lands
of the Shasta "Valley will greedily suck
up all the moisture which falls upon them.
The moisture which has fallen as rain
on the Pacific Coast became snow .fur
ther east. A cold snap is on in the
Rocky Mountain States and heavy snows
have fallen In Montana. The weather
men say that the cold is of unusual se
verity for early November. Though Ore
gonlans must now don their rubbers, they
should be thankful that their coal and
wood bills are not so high as those of
people who HveJn colder climates.
The Upper Willamette has risen to a
good steamboat stage and the river men
may now traverse the tributaries without
grounding on every bar.
"People may complain about the rain
as much as they want to," said one man
yesterday, "but just the same if we had
no rain hero, from November 1 to Decem
ber 1, there would be the biggest kick
ever made in Oregon."
