Akciekt Clock a Familt HeiiUOom.
An antique clock of a style seldom seen
nowadays, and probably tho oldest time
piece In the city. Is displayed In the cor
ner window at Olds, Wortmm & King's.
It Is the property of M. Hanson. heaS
of the corset department there, and is
an heirloom in the Hanson family, hav
ing descended through several genera
tions, and now, on the death of Mr.
Hanson's aged- grandmother, has been
sent to him by his father. The Hanson
family hits long resided on the Island of
Fohr, on the coast of Schleswlg-Holsteln,
where this clock has kept time for gen
eration after generation for 175 years,
and Is etill keeping time in a sort of
rhythmic rhyme. The machinery appears
to be very simple, containing but few
wheels, driven by a 10-pound weight sus
pended on a brass chain. It has also
an alarm, the bell of which was chis
eled out of a block. Instead of being cast,
and it makes a noise like a patrol wagon.
Anyone who has ever been wakened offi
cially by an alarm clock can imagine
how many Hansons this alarm has made
angry by rousing them from their slum
bers. The pendulum travels further
backward and forward than those of
modern clocks, and it would take a 40
horsepower multiplying machine to figure
how many miles it has traveled since it
started. The machinery is hidden be
hind the face, but is open on every
side, and the breezes of 175 Winters have
whistled through It, but it is all right
yet. The woodwork is very slight and
so decayed with age and worm-eaten
that it is ready to crumble at a touch.
The face, like all old faces, is not so
handsome as when It was new, and the
ornamental work around it has lost most
of the gilding, but the old machine ticks
away as steadily and regularly as ever.
and it bids fair to last to be handed
down by the present owner to the next
generation.
How to Cook Tkanksgiyinq Turret.
At the cooking school yesterday after
noon Miss Voorhees' demonstration lec
ture Included the preparation and roast
ing of a turkey and the making of cran
berry jelly. A large number of inter
ested women were present, the majority
of whom were enthusiastic young house
keepers, each indent on taking notes for
her Thanksgiving dinner. In preparing
the turkey for the oven. Miss Voorhees
deftly showed how to remove tendons
from the leg, making it possible to slice
. it nicely. Several methods of making de
licious dressing were explained, the one
demonstrated being a flaky crumb dress
ing, as different as possible from the old
fashioned sort, which was so. apt to be
solid and soggy. During the lecture a
turkey, previously prepared, was roast
ing in the oven, tobe served at the close
of the lesson, and the tenderness and
delicacy of the meat were an excellent
examplo of Miss Vorhees' skill. The
chestnut dressing served with the tur
key was also excellent. As there have
been a number of requests for a lesson
on pastry-making, there will be a dem
onstration of pies and pastry on next
Tuesday afternoon.
High Pkice for the First Smelt.
The very flrst Columbia River smelt of
the season arrived unannounced and un
expected Tuesday evening. There were
only three pounds of them and they
were brought in by an Eagle Cliff fish
erman named Edwards. He had been out
two nights drifting for them, Just to see
whether there were any smelt in the
river or not. He took them to a Fourth-
street market, and they were no sooner
displayed than a wealthy citizen passing
espied them and gobbled the whole lot
at o cents a pound. This is a large price
for smelt, but would hardly pay a man
for drifting even one night in such
weather as Edwards went out in. All know
that Columbia River smelt are delicious,
even when they cost only 5 cents per
pound, but one can hardly Imagine the
taste of them at 75 cents per pound.
Now that it is known that the smelt are
in the river others will be trying for
them, and It Is probable that they can
soon be had at a reasonable price. The
first of "December is early for smelt to
arrive, but it Is said that they have
been caught once at least as early as
November 10.
News of Harrt A Shepard Sought.
In a letter which was received by the
Pacific Coast Construction Company yes
terdajv Mrs. W. T. Shepard, of 4234 Ivan
hoe avenue, Norwood, O., asks for infor
mation as to the whereabouts of Harry
A. Shepard. On August 24, Mrs. Shepard
received a letter from the missing man
stating that he expected to be home In
October, and he added that an Injury to
his hand prevented him from writing
sooner. In his last letter, written from
Xiind, Wash., and dated September 7, and
postmarked Ritzville. Wash., he again
stated that he would soon be home. E.
F. Johnson, of the Pacific Coast Con
struction Company, says the members
of the comp'any know nothing of Shep
ard, but they would like to have some
information about him so that they could
forward it to the inquirer.
Big Apples Fnoii Klamath County.
From samples of Gloria Mundi apples
sent in to the Permanent Exhibit by
J. W. Hanahar, of Klamath Falls, it
is evident that Klamath County will be
come a great apple-producing "region as
soon as there is some suitable method of
transportation to market. The apples
mentioned were grown at an elevation of
4400 feet and are about as large and hand
some as any sent to the Exhibit, weighing
as high as 19 ounces, and being quite
perfect in shape and color. The idea Is
becoming general among horticulturists
that elevation is one of the prime requi
sites for apple orchards. Th.ere is plenty
of land and any amount of elevation in
Klamath County.

Wickline Boxs Each Fined $15. The j
row which occurred November 9 on a
Mount Tabor car. near Sunnyside. was
investigated yesterday by Municipal Judge
Hogue, when Oliver S. Wickline was
charged with assaulting C. H. Lefever,
a trolley-car conductor, and Robert
Wickline was charged with using abus
ive language, on the complaint of G. H.
Barker. Evidence was heard for nearly
two hours, and witnesses .differed consid
erably in their testimony, but the 'two
Wickline boys were found guilty and
were each fined $15. The fines were paid.
In giving evidence, the crew of the trol
leyTcar insisted that one of the defend
ants, while on the rear platform of the
car, woe "monkeying" with the car
brake, on the night referred to. that the
car was brought to a stop several times,
and that the Wickline boys, after being
asked if they had meddled with the brake,
entered a vigorous denial. When the
car stopped suddenly near Thirtieth
street, the conductor rang three bells as
a signal to the motorman to come to
his assistance, and when the motorman
opened the. door leading to the rear of
the car he had a controller handle in
his right hand, and the Wickline boys
thought ho was going to assault t'nepi.
Lefevre was struck in the nose. It was
also charged that Robert Wickline used
bad language toward the conductor. On
the other hand, Robert Wickline testi
fied: "The car stopped so often, owing
to something going wrong with the brake
chain "under the car, that "I 'joshed' the
conductor about it.' He grabbed me by
the thrdat, and the motorman grabbed
me by the shoulder. My brother came to
my assistance, and struck the motor
man. I did not use bad language, but
tho conductor did. My brother and I did
not meddle with the brake." The other
defendant corroborated.
Increase in Cost of Living. "Good
ness, gracious!" exclaimed a woman
yesterday to her grocer, whom she had
asked for a can of lard, "eighty cents
for a five-pound can of lard, and the
can ain't full I know. None of the cans
are, and everything so high." I don't want
that brand," she continued, "give me
that one," pointing to another. "That is
the only -pure lard I can find. All the
others smell of cotton-seed . oil or some
thing. I wonder what Is going to be
come of us poor peple anyhow! A roll
of butter seventy-five cents," she moaned,
"and flour has gone up, too. Everything
is dearer than it used to be, except
sugar, and people can't live on sugar
alone. My husband likes hot cakes for
breakfast, but he can't have them often
now. It takes flour, baking powder, milk
and eggs to make good hot cakes, with
butter for shortening and lard for frying.
All these things are high store eggs.
thirty-five cents a dozen, and then there
must be plenty of butter and maple syrup,
or Jelly, or "both, to eat on them." After
the woman had gone, the grocer was
asked if the cost of living had Increased
as she had intimated. He said that the
expenses of keeping house had Increased
within the last three years at least 20
per cent, and he thought 25 per cent.
"Why," said he, "to begin with, rents
have gone up, fuel Is dearer, flour has
risen, and, as the woman said, sugar is
the only thing that is cheaper. Butter
and eggs are naturally high at this time
of year, but not often so dear as now.
What means prosperity for the producer.
Is the opposite for the consumer."
SUPPLT OF QAMS IN THE MARKET.
There was a fair supply of Mongolian
pheasants In several of the markets yes
terday. Some arrived by belated trains
Monday evening and more by the early
trains yesterday morning. There was a
good demand for them, and the display
rapidly grew smaller. At one place sev
eral long strings were seen, among which
there was not a single hen. Many re
marked that It was wise for the hunters
Uo spire the hens, but It was found that
there had been the usual proportion of
hens in tho lot, though they had been
bought up first. Many prefer them as
more tender than the cocks, the latter
when old being inclined to. be tough.
The price all around was tt 50 per pair,
which was consideredreasqnable bypur-
chasers. There have been" noiarge lota'
of blue or ruffled grouse or quail com
ing in. If the weather clears up, thero
will probably be a fair supply of pheas
ants for Thanksgiving, but there Is little
danger of the market being overcrowded
with them. Wild ducks continue to be
plentiful. Mallards are the largest and
best, widgeons come next and the little
teal is fine for broiling. Other species,
as sprlgtalls, blackjacks, butter-balls,
etc, are seldom seen' in large numbers.
Story of a Catskin Robe. A man
passing down Third street yesterday
noticed in a show window a robe of cat
skins. There were 24 skins. in It, black,
spotted, brlndle. The man went into the
place to inquire about this robe, which
he said looked just -like one a chum of
his had made some'40 years ago, and he
had helped in slaughtering the cats to
secure the skins. He found that this
particular robe had been made in Lon
don a good while ago by a son of the
rector of a parish there, who had har
vested 100 cat skins in that parish and
had tanned them in the attic of the rec
tory. The disappearance of so many
cats was charged to a man who had been
detected in poisoning a marauding cat
and throwing it in the river, and the boy
pursued his hunting and trapping un
molested. He was intended by nature
for a hunter and trapper in the great
Northwest and eventually found his way
here, but is not now in the business of
catching cats. It may be said that cat
skin robes are not so handsome nor so
valuable as sealskin robes.
New Wat to Drain Foundation.
Notwithstanding the copious rains of the
past week or two, the excavation for
the foundation of the Holman Undertak
ing Company's new building, which now
a small lake a short time ago. Is now
clear of water. This state of affairs has
been brought about by sinking a hole
down to a stratum of gravel. The water
collected and what has fallen since has
been absorbed by the thirsty gravel and
Is now stored ln it. The excavation had
been pumped out two or .three times be
fore this scheme was thought of, but
the water always was replaced by a
new and larger supply. It will now soon
be possible to complete the excavation
and get work started on the foundations.

EXHIBIT AT OSAKA.
Joint Committee Decides on Appor
tionment of Total of $4000
Among Them.
At the meeting of the Oriental com-l
mlttees of the various commercial bodies
and the Lewis and Clark Fair, held at
the Chamber of '"Commerce office on
Washington street. Monday night, it was
decided that the best method of raising
money to defray the expenses of the Osa
ka exhibit would be to call on the Lewis
and Clark Fair board for $2000. the Cham
ber of Commerce for $000, the Board of
Trade for 5S00 and the Manufacturers'
Association" for S300. .The committees
will report back to their respective bodies,
and another meeting will be hejd on Mon
day next to see what action the organiza
tions have taken.
The gentlemen present at the meeting
last night were Paul Wesslner, chair
man, and S. M. Mears, A. H. Dcvers, Leo
Frlede, I. B. Hammond, T. S. Townsend,
H. E. Dosch, W. H. McMonles and H. E.
Reed. After a few minutes of preliminary
discussion, Colonel Dosch was requested
to give an estimate of the expenses of the
exhibit., This was finally set at a round
?i000, so that all contingencies should be
met, in case they should arise. This
amount was discussed, and it was a ques
tion In tho minds of cdrtain members
as to what was the better method of rais
ing the fund, and who had any authority
to see that it was collected. It was also
asked if the fair directors had a right to
appropriate anything, and after it was
shown that the exhibit was to secure
reciprocity, it was conceded that the fair
ought to do something.
Mr. Wessinger said: "It is now time
to wake up. There must be something
doing, and we should make this success
ful. By all means, we ought to do some
thing." Mr. Mears proposed that the various
organizations should each put up a share,
the Fair Board ?2000, the Chamber of
Commerce $900. the Board of Trade SSOO.
and the Merchants' Association $300. This
being put in the form of a motion, It was
carried unanimously. It was moved that
the committeemen present report to their
respective organizations, and see if action
could not be taken before another meet
ing, to be held on Monday, Novem
ber 24.
COMING ' ATTRACTIONS.
"Alphonse nml Gaston."
Tonight at the Marquam Grand Theater
"Alphonse and Gaston"" will be -the at
traction. With a cast of 10 arid a chorus
of" 30. the musical farce, "Alphonse and
Gaston," has been staged under the di
rection of Frank Tannehlll. the author
of the play. He has adapted the gro
tesque caricatures of those now famous
characters of fiction that has achieved
notoriety through the talented drawings
of the celebrated cartoonist, F. Opper.
The play is called a musical farce to dif
ferentiate it from "the commonplace plays
which, under the designation of farce
comedy, have fairly inundated the country
with poor plays that were not refined.
"Alphonse and Gaston" combines the
same element of farce and music which
have made musical comedy so popular.
The music is all original, and was com
posed by Ben M. Jerome and Harry von
Tllzer. who are among the foremost com
posers of popular songs. All of the scen
ery Is new, and was made expressly foi
this production, and the costumes are
elaborate and beautiful. Bobby Mathews
and Herbert Ashley are the two leading
comedians, and to themhas been given
the opportunity of making Alphonse and
Gaston , stage celebrities They, have so
far, it Is said, .merited the applause'which
has been bestowed upon their work. Sev
eral novelties In stage management have
drawn to the production much favorable
discussion.
' "The Belle of New York."
At the Marquam Grand tomorrow, Fri
day and Saturday, November 20, 21 and 22,
"The Belle of New York" will appear. By
special request the company will give a
matinee on Saturday, November 22. Since
Its last visit here the company has ap
peared In every state In the Union, and
after its engagement liere starts East
via San Francisco. Not alone in Portland
but throughout the Union "The Belle of
New York" is better known than any
other musical comedy written. This is
easily accounted for when the long runs
in New York and London have made it
the most successful musical comedy in
the world.
"Hearts of Oalc."
Seats will be placed on ale Friday
morning for James A Heme's famous
play, "Hearts of Oak," which .comes to
the Marquam Grand Theater next Monday
and Tuesday -nights.
"Hunting for Hawkins."
For good, honest, healthy fun, "Hunt
ing for Hawkins," the bundle of sunshine,
wins easily in a walk. Its appearance
in the West last season was greeted by
the greatest series of successes that a
comedy has even known. Most of us
can remember how they laughed till they
cried at the Irresistibly funny lines and
situations contained In this mirthful com
edy, and will welcome with delight its re
appearance at Cordray's Theater Thurs
day, Friday, Saturday matinee and even
ing, November 20. 21 and 22. This season
Messr3. Gray and Heckert present that
talented and versatile comedian. Mr.
Laurence M. Weaver, In the title role of
Matthew. Hawkins, and a superb charac
terization of Owen Touchem by Mr. John
E. Cain, who has won for himself new
honors by his artistic portrayal of this
quaint role.
"A Gold Mine."
Nat C. Goodwin's splendid comedy, "A
Gold .Mine." will be the offering at the
Baker Theater next week, starting 'with
Sunday matinee. The Nelll Stock Com
pany will appear to a splendid advantage
in "A Gold Mine," and the entire pro
duction will be one of the most elabor
ate put on here this season. This com
edy has been one of the greatest sue
cesses ever produced by Mr. Goodwin
and will be a treat for Portland theater
patrons. There is every evidence that the
houses' will be record-breakers, and tho
advance sale is already one of the lar
gest since the opening of the season.
There will be a matinee on Thanksgiving
day.
"Lost River" at Cordray's.
It Is the distinctly u human types of
Joseph. Arthur's "Lost River." the splen
did scenic effects, startling mechanical
devices and laughable comedy scenes
which have made a success of" this clever
play. There Is also. ahobo quartet, a
country "orchestry," a herd of sheep,
three thoroughbred horses and a thrilling
bicycle raqe In a realistic storm, to add
Interest to' this latest product of the au
thor of "Blue Jeans." "Lost River" will
be at Cordray's Theater for one entire
week, beginning Sunday matinee, Novem-'
ber 23.
Last Night of "Pennsylvania.''
The final performance of "Pennsyl
vania" will be given tonight at Cordray's
Theater.
To Sell Unclaimed Goods.
The Collector of Customs will sell at auc
tion on Friday a quantity of unclaimed
goods which have remained at the Cus-tom-Houso
for one year, as well as 1C0
cans of prepared opium and 19 boxes
of cigars seized by the- customs officials
some time ago. The unclaimed goods
are a miscellaneous lot of little value,
but the opium should net Uncle Sam a
little pocket-money, as. the price of -the
drug per can is now about $4 25.
BENNETT HEIRS FILE CLAIM
Administrator In Willing to Settle
With. City for 54000.
R. P. Graham, administrator of the es
tate of Silas Bennett, who was killed by
the collapse of the Corbett-street bridge
on October 10, filed a petition with the
City Auditor for $4000 for the death. After
stating the mariner in which Bennett met
his death, tho petition assorts that he was
the support of a wife and eight children,
and the value of his life to his estate, if
he had lived, would be more than $5000,
the maximum sum allowed by the state
law in case of death by negligence of an
other person. Four of the children ate
minors.
In view of the facts stated, the petition
er believes the city should pay the full
amount of damages, but, in order to avoid
litigation, he Is willing to accept the sum
of S4C00 in full settlement of the claim
against the city and its officers. The pe
tition will probably be denied by the Com
mon Council, as it is the wish of the
members of the Judiciary committee that
such claims be tried in the. courts to de
termine whether the Councilmen are liable
individually for damages.

THE RISE OF THE
MARTI IN GUITAR
It Is., often asked, "Why is the Martin
Guitar better than others?" This can be
answered In one word, only, by saying
that it partook rom the first of the con
scientious nature of its founder. Quiet,
retiring, Mr. Martin lived for his art, and
Was satisfied with nothing unless it was
as nearly perfect as he could make it.
In keeping with his character, he moved
to a quiet settlement In Pennsylvania in
1839, and there worked until his death in
,1873, when he left a well-established busi
ness to his "descendants. Here Madame de
Gonl and other famous musicians visited
him, with the result that his guitars be
came known as artists' models. A de
scription of some leading styles will be
given later.

In using the expression, "thump-box."

quire is something to stand in the corner
of the room, which looks shiny, and upon
which bric-a-brac can be placed, and for
this .purpose, If partially concealed by an
ornamental cover, a "thump-box" Is just
as good as the finest piano ever built.
Nearly all "thump-boxes" contain keys,
hammers and strings, and when recently
tuned a melody carefully played on them
is easily distinguished. They are largely
sold on the "one-doilar-a-week" Install
ment or "club" principle, and If not too
freely used will often last until the final
payment Is made.
If you are looking for this kind of a
piano, they can be found in Portland, but
not at the warerooms of Sdule Bros.'
Piano.' Company, 326 Washington street,
who handle only high-grade, reliable in
struments, such as the Stelnway, Estey,
A. B. Chase, Emerson, Richmond, Starr
and many others, pianos that will last a
lifetime, and at a reasonable"' price. Fine
piano-tuning and repairing. . Phone Main
