What Dr. Plummer Missed. It Is not
safe to leave farmhouses unprotected
these days, as Dr. O. P. S. Pluramer has
found out. About a week ago he went
out to his ranch near Bertha, as he fre
quently does, to spend a quiet night.
When hf -went to unlock the door he
found that some one had unlocked it for
him. Nothing appearing disturbed, he
made a good fire and read until bedtime.
On going to his bedroom upstairs he found
his crosscut saw and auger lying on the
floor tied up in sheets. He said several
things not to be repeated, but in the
morning he discovered that the best buggy
harness, which he had left hanging in his
tenant-house, which he also found un
locked, was missing with several other
articles and he began to mistrust that
something wae wrong. On returning to
town he told his story to Policeman
Snow and gave him a description of the
lost harness. Snow had seen such a
harness on Front street and took Dr.
Plummcr down and showed him his
harness and ateo a side-saddle which the
thief had sold because he had, as he said,
leased his farm and should not want them
any more. The dealer described the man
who sold him the harness and the doctor
at once recognized him as Fred A. Mullln,
who had onco been in charge of chicken
ranch near his farm. A move was made
for his capture, but he had been stealing
other things and wan wanted for lifting
a lot of meerschaum pipes and the doctor
found him in the City Jail and expressed
his joy at the meeting and remarked that
"'the right man was in the right place for
once, sure." "Say. Mullln, where is my
clock, the wrench and other little things
you took?" asked the doctor, but Mullln,
having been already committed, was
strictly noncommittal and the Interview
came to an end.
Moffit's Escape ii. Portland. Robert
Percy Moflit, lately of Hong Kong, China,
had a narrow escape from being arrested
Wednesday afternoon, at the Union
Terminal Depot, as he and his wife passed
through here on a train en Toute for
Seattle. He Is wanted to answer a
charge of having embezzled $2075 from the
Dairy Farm Company, of Hong Kong,
where he was employed as secretary of
the company. He and Mrs. Moffit, trav
eling under the name of Mr. and Mrs. J.
Perry, arrived In a steamer from the
Orient, at San Francisco, at the early
part of this week, and he was promptly
arrested there on receipt of telegraphic
Instruction from the Orient by the Brit
ish Consul at San Francisco, but obtained
his release through a writ of habeas cor
pus, on the ground that he had been illeg
ally arrested. Then he and his wife dis
appeared for the time being, and boarded
a drawing-room car attached to a train
going to thlg city. The train had hardly
reached Portland, when James Laldlaw,
the British Consul at this port, got a
dispatch from the British Consul at San
Francisco asking him to take means to
have Moffit arrested. Mr. Laldlaw se
cured the services of Detectives Day and
Wciner, and the latter ran to the depot.
but the train had pulled out a few min
utes before. However, the Seattle police
were communicated with over the long
distance telephone, and when Moffit ar
rived In Seattle Wednesday night, he was
arrested on a fugitive warrant, under the
extradition treaty between this country
and Great Britain.
Hard to Get Iron Rails. Several per
sons standing looking at the heavy
grooved rails lately laid in Third street
were trying to make out why' these rails
had to be procured In Belgium. One said
it must be because of the Iron trust, as
there was no Iron ore In Belgium. An
other said that while the United States
was making more iron goods and iron of
all kinds than any other country, there
was not enough made for home consump
tion. The purchasing agent of a. large
corporation said he had a great deal of
trouble In procuring many articles of
hardware. Many things he used to be
able to ibiiy at the hardware stores he has
now to got made at the blacksmith shops.
The hardware man ordered them, but
could not get them, all the factories be
ing overcrowded with work. A builder
said the same state of affairs prevailed
here In the lumber business. While the
mills are making millions of feet of lum
ber for the Government to send to the
Philippines, builders here have great dif
ficulty In getting orders filled. For a
special order for timbers for a large roof
he had to wait three months, and all
builders have to wait to get orders for
lumber filled. As there is to be a large
number of business blocks built In this
city next season it is to be hoped that
manufacturers of all kinds may be able
to catch up with their orders soon and
be able to supply things on time.

Water Would Not Burn. A manufac
turing concern of this city has been pre
paring for a long time to use crude oil
in Its furnaces. It had everything in
readiness to begin using the oil Just be
fore the rains began, but the rain has
prevented operations being started. The
company built a large tank and had many
barrels of oil stored in it. The rain was
so plentiful and heavy that It forced itself
through the tank four feet under the
ground, and sank to the bottom. The
pump used In feeding the furnaces
reaches to the bottom of the tank, of
course, so as to get oil when there might
be only a little In the tank, and when
there was water at the bottom, it just
pumped out water and notwithstanding
that this had beep In close contact with
the oil It would not burn. It took a lot
of time and trouble to find and stop the
weak place In the tank through which the
water found its way. The tank was not
of boilerplate but of cement and two feet
In thickness, but Oregon rainwater is
very penetrating. The pump now draws
oil and the furnaces of the company will
be fed with it in future.
Crawfish Need Protection. A large
box of crawfish was displayed for sale at
a market yesterday, many of them with
eggs fastened under their bodies. A fish
erman, who catches crawfish all summer,
said it should not be allowed to catch
them at this time of the year, or they will
soon be exterminated, as they should now
be stowed away In their Winter quarters
under stono? or In the mud at the bottom
of streams. The crawfish have been in
great demand in this city for several
years past and all the streams within
many miles have been fished for them till
they are exhausted. Tons and tons of
them have been brought In from the
Tualatin River, and many thousand dol
lars have been paid for these "Insects."
The edible contents of a crawfish will
hardly pay one for the trouble of extract
ing them, but when highly spiced and
seasoned many pay a liberal price for a
plate of them. What is needed now is a
law to protect crawfish.
First Heavy Frost. The first heavy
frost of the season made the sidewalks
slippery Wednesday night. The mercury
slid aown the tube to the 34-degree mark
and late travelers of the streets turned up
the collars of their overcoats and said it
felt like Winter. The rains which have
fallen over the Northwest during the past
few days have now reached Southern
California, where their rare presence has
been heartily welcomed. The Willamette
Is already receding from the high stage
reached Wednesday, for the water stood
at the 10-foot mark yesterday morning,
showing a fall of six Inches. The river
has been dotted for the past few days
with drift of all kinds brought down by
the high water. Frost may come almost
any night, for It is their open season now.
The one Wednesday extended to the coast
and North Head reported the same tem
perature as this city.
Came From Island, of Jersey. Mention
was made In these columns a short time
ago of a bough loaded with remarkably
fine, long-keeping pears from an old
orchard in Washington County, and It
was added that It has been Impossible to
ascertain the name of the pear. A cor
respondent writes from Kerby, Or., sug
gesting that the pear may be the Char
montelle,. crown on the Island of Jersey,
In the English Channel. These pears do
not begin -to ripen until Christmas or
later, and at that season, 25 years ago, a
shilling each (25 cents) was the price for
them in Covent Garden Market, London.
It is to be hoped that many grafts from
the trees bearing the pear will be used
next Spring, so that the species may be
kept from dying out hero. Whatever the
name may be the pear Is a remarkably
fine one, and an extraordinary keeper.
Loggers Resume Work. The owners of
Benson's logging camp, who have been
'laying off waiting, for weather it Is pos
sible to work In. started back to camp
Tuesday and Wednesday, and Mr. Benson
said he supposed they were at work yes
terday, probably a little short-handed
The log supply Is beginning to look scanty
and the millmen have been urging the.
loggers, to ?ltart work again as the sup
ply of logs has not been keeping up with
the consumption. "If I had a hundred
million feet of logs in the river now."
said Mr. Benson yesterday, "they would
all be grabbed up within 24 hours." The
men from all the logging camps closed
down by the storm are getting back -to
camp and. If the weather Is at all favor
able, they will all be at work In a day or
two.
Children Sent to Poor Farm. Three
bright children brought by their mother
from Clackamas County were sent to the
poor farm yesterday. The woman. In re
latlng her troubles at the Courthouse,
said she came to Portland and secured
work and Intended placing the children In
some of the Children's Homes, a'hd paying
for their support, but because of con
tagious diseases in these Institutions was
unable to do so. She stated that she had
two more children who are with her
parents, and that her husband deserted
them all. The poor farm report for Oc
tober showed 130 Inmates, and about 30
persons have been sent there since.

Recommends Higher Standard for
Milk. Food and Dairy Commissioner
Bailey is making out his biennial report,
He will recommend that the standard of
milk be raised from 3 to 3 per cent of
butter fat. "In justice to the consumer
I believe that the standard required by

The old favorite, "The Belle of New
York," now at the Marquam, seems as
fresh as of old. It always appealed to
certain widely separated tastes, and the
old frank call to enjoyment is still heard
gladly.
Scenlcally and musically, this comic
opera is of the best There is nothing
distinctly imperative about any of it. But
he Is a sober soul who cannot get out of
every scene a pleasant moment And so
far as the singers go, there can be little
complaint Miss Delia Rosa, the viva
cious and delicate FIfl, Is a singer of no
mean ability. Her voice is thin, clear
and sparkling, and her management of
it good. Miss Redledge has a voico with
far more sweetness, more tenderness, and
her work in the final scene is almost
robbed of its tricky lightness by her
splendid and powerful acting.
The men in the cast are, for a wonder.
mostly men of musical taste. Mr. Nye
was especially fine, and his very con
sistent playing aided throughout in help
ing the audience to cling to the thread
of the plot. For, as everybody knows,
this opera has a plot. It is a good one,
too, and the climaxes were well brought
out.
The chorus was trained and effectlvo;
its ensembles, perhaps, might bear a
restraining hand, especially In the Mar
quam. However, there can be little com
plaint. But few have not seen "The
Belle of New York," and those few will
have a treat ahead of them. Those who
return to an ancient love will not be dis
appointed.
It "will be here tonight tomorrow after
noon and tomorrow night
"Hunting for Hawkins."
The amusing farce-comedy, "Hunting
for Hawkins," entertained the audience
at Cordray's last evening. In this play
no other effect is sought than to raise a
laugh, and no imaginable effort is spared
to secure that result. The action is
rapid, and the audience laughed or
grinned, according to Individual tempera
ment, throughout the evening. A feature
of the occasion was the attendance of a
large number of the delegates to the Irri
gation Convention, by Invitation of Man
ager Cordray. They were marshaled to
the theater by Colonel Hawkins.
All persons who like "phun of tho
phast and phurlous" variety may find a
perennial spring of it in "Hunting for
Hawkins," as produced by Gray and
Heckert. Although the play has ap
peared here before, it Is new to many.
The plot is simple a rock on which to
hang a lot of laugh-provoking situations.
John E. Cain, as Owen Touchem, the pro
fessional relative who "can use $5" at
every period ih every act, skipped blithe
ly through all complications. He is a
clever comedian. Miss Blanche Newcomb
was Bertha Ashley, In love with the art
ist She made a hit in a couple of song
specialties. Laurence M. Weaver, as
Hawkins, the obliging friend who gets
Into so much trouble, had no difficulty
In keeping the audience wide-awake.
Eugene Topping, as Dick Singleton; Seth
C. Halsey, as Dr. von Winklesteln; Miss
Kate Griffith, as Mrs. Ashley: Miss Min
nie Carroll, as the old maid, and Miss
Bertha Conway, as Mrs. Hawkins, all
contributed successfully.
The company will conclude here Satur
day night, with the usual Saturday after
noon matinee.
Hoyt's Comedy MakcN a Hit.
Catherine Countlss as Grace Holmes in
Hoyt's clever cdmedy, "A Contented
Woman," has a part to which she is well
oulted and is making a host of friends
this week at the Baker Theater. The rest
of the company are exceptionally well cast,
and the comedy goes with a dash. There
will be three more .performances tonight,
Saturday matinee and evening, and crowd
ed houses will certainly mark the close of
this very successful Hoyt Dlay.
COMIXG ATTRACTIONS.
Robson in "Comedy of Errors."

Comedy of Errors" on a most elaborate
scale for the present season, and who
will be seen in his famous part as the
Dromio of Syracuse at the Marquam
Grand Theater next Wednesday night

ber 26 and 27, plans to make the present
season his last in Shakespearean com
edy, or in any of the other plays with

man through his profession, is now re
puted to be worth more than $1,000,000,
and, according to Daniel V. Arthur, his
manager, intends to devote the rest of
his years on the stage to the creation of
absolutely new parts.
TlinnkMKivinf? "Wcelc Scats on Sale.
At the Baker Theater next week, in ad
dition to the regular performances there
will be a special Thanksgiving matinee of

pany will no doubt play to the largest
house that has ever witnessed a theatrical
performance In this theater. The ieats go

written for Mr. Nat C. Goodwin by Henry
Guy Carleton, and Is one of the beat com
edies ever produced by that eminent come

first great success. Commencing with
Sunday matinee, this splendid comedy will
run all next week at the Baker, and the
business will surely be most gratifying to
the management The Neill stock com
pany will add another triumph in its pre
sentation of this play, and once more
prove its great popularity with the Port
land public.
"Lost River," at Cordray's.
"One never knows" and "You can't be
too careful" are two English aphorisms
which are applicable to almost every con
tingency, as' Josenh Arthur cnnrt-hn-
moredly quoted when the relative merits
and money-making powers of "Lost
River" were being compared with his
earlier success, "Blue Jeans." JEvents
have proven that "Lost River" is even
more attractive in Its exquisite rural slm-
