Few Canva8back Ducks in Market, A
number .of canvasback ducks displayed In
front of a commission store on Front
street the latter part of last -week at
tracted much attention, as these ducks
are seldom seen .here since the carp ex
terminated the -wapatoes they used to feed
on. They were considered the best of all
the species of wiJ.ducks, being large and
fat and of excellent flavor, and many of
them were shot every season. Wapatoes
are still found In a few places far down
the river. which are not accessible to
carp, and at Wapato Lake, near Gaston.
Occasionally a few canvasback ducks are
shot In these places. The ducks displayed
on Front street came from Klamath Lake, i
it was said, and while a few of them were
genuine canvasbacks, the greater number
were another species. They closely 're
semble the genuine In appearance, but
are .not so large, and are known as "black
canvas," "black jack" or "bluebllls." They
are not so highly prized by sportsmen.
All sportsmen in this section are bitter
enemies of the carp, on account of their
having destroyed the wapatoes on which
the canvasbacks used to feed, and aUjo
the widgeon weed, and other duck feed.
It is asserted that but for the wheat put
outonall duck-shooting grounds every sea
son for the ducks to feed on, there would
now be no wild ducks Jiere. Sportsmen
hope that the black bass, now well estab
lished here, will after a time greatly re
duce the number of carp, perhaps so much
so as to make it possible for the duck
lakes to become again stocked with wapa
toes, so that the canvasback ducks will
again be found here In numbers, but It
will-certainly take a long time for this to
be brought about.
Economy in Butino Meat. There is
much complaint of high prices and the in
creased cost of living these days, but if
those who market for families were well
informed in regard to the quality of meats
and the cost of different cuts as compared-
with -their value, much might be
saved. There is no economy in buying
poor meat because it is cheap. It may be
set down as a general rule that it Is al
most impossible to get a poor piece of
meat off a prime carcass, and that It Is
altogether impossible to get a good piece
of meat off a poor quarter or carcass. A
chuck-steak or chuck-roast off a prime
quarter of bsef will be found much bet
ter in every way than a rib roast or sir
loin steak at double the price off a poor
quarter. If it Is desired tobe econom-,
leal, one cannot indulge In the choicest'
cuts, but must use more shoulders of
mutton, breast of veal and boiling beef,
which are wholesome and contain plenty
of nourishment, and with hunger for
sauce will all be found delicate enough,
and probably delicious. There is never
enough of the choicest cuts of beef to
supply the demand, and the dealers are
glad to have customers who are satis
fled with the cheaper cuts, which do not
go off so readily.
Arabs Chaffer With Chinese. Four
Arabs, Mohammedans, of course, chaf
fering with a heathen Chinee on the side
walk of a Christian city, on a Sabbath
afternoon, was wh&t attracted a crowd
on Alder street between First and Second,
yesterday afternoon. The fish market on
Alder Is a continuous performance, on
Sundays as well as all other days. The
black men, with aquiline" features and
scanty beards, thinly clothed, were evi
dently sailors belonging to "some ship In
port, and the only thing they could" say
which a white man could understand was
"Arabs." Just how natives of Arabia
came to be Infatuated with the horned
points called catfish Is difficult to Imag-
ine, hut they bought all the Chinaman
had, a big pan full, and he strung them
on strips of bamboo and the Arabs walked
off with them. They had not gone far
when one of the strings broke and a score
or two of the fish fell on the sidewalk,
and the Arabs said things which It was
just as well the bystanders could not un
derstand. There were plenty of carp In
the Chinaman's stock, but the Arabs did
not care for them.
Makes the Best of His Lot. A bright,
cheery-looking young man boarded a
Third-street car yesterday, who, when
the- conductor -asked for his fare, told
him to reach in an inside pocket for It,
It was then noticed that both the young
man's hands were missing, and that he
had iron hooks in their place.. It was
also noticed that he had two artificial
feet. When asked how he had lost his
hands and feet, he said by being frozen
in a Kansas blizzard. Strange to relate,
the conductor and a passenger both knew
the young man, and had seen him when
he was frozen. When asked what a ,man
could do to make a living under such con
ditions, he said he "gave exhibitions and
lectures, arid got along very well. He did
not allow himself to worry about his mis
fortunes, as, when a thing was done and
could not be helped, there was no use In
complaining.
Weather and Its Vacillations. The
clear weather of the past few days put
tiew life and spirit Into all who have any
building projects In hand. It is thought
by many that a long spejl of fine weather
will be quite certain to follow the long
continued and violent rain .storm with
which Winter asserted his sway, but there
Is no use in prognosticating the weather
In the Winter, for it is always the unex
pected that happens. Stormy weather is
much more likely to succeed a fine day
than fine weather Is to succeed a storm,
and however bad the weather may be,
one should feel thankful that it Is no
worse. If it shoiftd continue bright and
sunshiny for a month, the great majority
of the people would be howling for rain
and exclaiming that rainy weather is the
most healthful In Oregon in Winter.
Smelt and Salmon Trout in Market.
Small lots of Columbia River smelt have
been coming to market daily since the
first lot of three pounds arrived a few
days ago. The amount received Saturday
morning was 20 pounds. -They were re
markably large and fine, and were about
the most costly luxury in the market,
being" sold at C5 cents per pound. A few
restaurants had them on their bills of
fare, charging 50 cents for a plate of six.
After a while, when .they begin to come In
by the ton. and sell for 10 cents or less per
pound, there will be more of them eaten.
There are a few salmon trout in the mar
ket at three for 25 cents, which are the
next best fish to smelt obtainable. The
man who catches smelt or salmon trout
for market these days earns all he gets
for them.
Repairs on Front-Street Bridge.
The work of repairing the Front-street
Bridge across Marquam Gulch could not

time hoped. The job proved to be more
extensive than was anticipated at the

weather, when the men are hampered
with waterproof clothing.

Prejudice Against Western Hem
1Ock. The Western hemlock Is considered
by the Bureau of Forestry a magnificent
Jimber tree, but unrecognized In the trade
at present because of the taint castupon
it by the Eastern species. Bulletin io. 33,
Bureau of Forestry, on the Western hem
lock, by Edward T. Allen, was specially
unrtprtnlrpn tn nvirinmf tho false TireJU-
dlce existing in the lumber trade against
the Western hemlock, which, according
to Mr. Allen, is entitled o rank among
the valuable timber trees of the conti
nent. He says the wood is far superior
to that of the Eastern tree. It Is suit
able for use in all ordinary building work;
, It furnishes good paper pulp; it Is suffi
ciently light and strong to make excel
lent hardware stock, and Is particularly
valuable for Indoor finishing." Lumber
dealers and lumbermen shonld procure a
copy of bulletin No. 55, from the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and find out whether
they have any false prejudice against the
Western hemlock, and if so, try to. over
come it. It is taken for granted that the
hemlock found In Oregon is the West
ern hemlock, for there is none farther
west.

ALL COUNTIES WILL AID
Immigration Bureau Indorsed
Them Half of Fund Raised.
by
All counties. In Oregon will aid the Im
migration Bureau, -for which a fund is
gathering in Portland. The irrigation
convention approved the bureau and com
mended the men back of the enterprise.
It adopted strong resolutions of Indorse
ment. Delegates from all districts of the
state spoke In the convention In favor of
the enterprise. Portland's offer to fur
nish the necessary money won admira
tion. The resolutions called upon the
counties to co-operate toward supplying
exhibits and printed matter for the bu
reau. "We are getting along finely," said a
member of the committee which Is push
ing the project, last night. "We have
about half of the $15,000 fund already sub
scribed, and much more money Is In
sight. We can gfet many small subscrip
tions as soon as we start out for them.
Just now we are working for big dona
tions. When we haye them all sub
scribed, we shall go for the smaller con
tributions.
The speaker was asked if the commit
tee encountered any rebuffs -In its quest
for "money.
"Very few; so few that I cannot re
member half a dozen. We have run Into
a number of kickers. But their complaint
4s not that they cannot give, but that the
man next door is not putting up his
share." -
People who subscribe sums above $10
will have their names printed on the sta
tlonery of the bureau. This will have the
effect of directing tsade In the county to
the contributors. Subscribers of less than
$10 will have their names and business dis
played in- a large directory in the bureau.
The bureau will be located in Union De
pot, The directors' of the bureau will be
elected by the subscribers to the fund
After the $15,000 has been secured, the
committee will endeavor to raise an ad
a"lorial fund of $10,000 for advertising Ore
gon in rural newspapers of the Middle
West,
The committee is delayed a great deal
by responses of merchants: "See us again
tomorrow. Inasmuch as the purpose of
the bureau has been fully set forth by
the newspapers, the committee desires
that citizens resolve upon what they will
give, before they are called upon. The
members of the committee are getting no
compensation Tor the time they are de
voting to the enterprise.
The highest subscription is that of Ladd
& Tilton. $900. The committee is composed
or: A, H, Devers, J. Thorburn Roes, .Ju
lius Meier, F. V. Drake and William Kll-
Hngsworth.
HIS WORK STRIKES BACK
Hovr Senator Williams' Act Th-wart.
ed Mayor Williams' Desire.
Mayor Williams is the cause of no extra
session of the Legislature. Away back in
1SG6 he drew up a law prescribing the
method of electing United States Senators
by State Legislatures. This law passed
congress, and was approved by the Pres
Ident. According to its provisions, the
Oregon Legislature would have to pro
ceed to the election' of a United States
Senator the second Tuesday after the
meeting and organization in the recently
proposed special session. As this would
inject politics into the special session
Governor Geer refused to convoke the
Legislature. Mayor Williams was Sena
tor from Oregon from 1S65 to 1871. He
.said several days ago that he drew up
the bill In order to compel election of a
Senator in cases where the two bodies of
a Legislature refused to get together for
an election. Frequently the two bodles
are politically at variance, and, but for
this law, they might refuse even to pro
ceed to choose a Senator. Mayor Will
iams said that, when he prepared the law
in 1SG6, he had no idea it would scare out
a special session In 1902. He advocated
the special session as a means of afford
ing relief to the city government.

Carlcton's brilliant play, "A Gold Mine,"
is most excellently presented at the Baker
Theater this week. Yesterday's performances-
showed that Its wit, humor and
scintillating vivacity are In competent
hands.
The plot turns on the effort of an Amer
ican of sorts to sell Sir Everard Foxwood
a gold mine. In this endeavor he becomes
acquainted with the ladles of the Knight's
family and falls In love .with the Hon.
Mrs. Meredith, Sir Everard's sister, a
widow. It comes to pass tnat the heir of
the old Knight, an old villain, by the
way, has put himself In a position where
10,000 must be got to save his honor. Silas
K. Woolcott, the American promoter, sells
the mine at a sacrifice to save the boy.
This sale to Sir Everard Is so distinctly a
cheat that the Hon. Mrs. Meredith foils
her brother, gets the mine, and marries-
Mr. Woolcott, point-blank. The side af
fair (in plot, not in action) Is a love duo
between Una Foxwood and Gerald Rlor
dan. Miss Countiss does some srood actlntr in
her part of Mrs. Meredith, and It Is amaz
ing tho rapidity with which she fires, her
volleys of wit at the defenseless (and
dense) head of the American, played by
Mr. Wyngate. This Is Miss Countiss
forte, repartee and quick, graceful com
edy. Mr. Wyngate Tias a terrific role so
far as lines go, and he does well. It Is
hard to forgive him. however, for spoil
ing tho last scene with Mrs. Meredith by
turning what would be, must be, excel
lent shading of deeper emotion into farce.
Just four lines of genuine feeling would
have added Incomparable finish to his
otherwise fine performance.
But, in spite of author and Jlnes, . Mr.
Bernard as Gerald Rlordari and" Miss Es
mond as Una Foxwood are, during their
scenes, the most Important people In the
play. Mr. Bernard's work Is of his usual
fine auallty, with that true touch of Irish
susceptibility so essential to the correct
reading of the role. It Is diffidently sug
gested to Mr. Bernard that .a .slight in
crease in the making of climaxes would
add to the enjoyment of the audience. He
does not always make his exact feeling
clear through a distaste of sharp empha
sis. Miss Esmond has taken as her own
the adjective of "charming," and It fits.
Her artistic nicety of expression, her gen
uine talent for creating her own little at
mosphere, lend to all her work what can
only be described as "charm."
Mr. William H. Dills does some of tho
best character work seen in Portland in
the role of the knavish Knight. Mr. Dills
is conscientious to inspiration. Mr Mower
has a very poor part, ana does it 'as well
as could be expected. Mr. Russell's act
ing is always good; his choice of seasons
Is not invariably good. Two . or three
times In "A Gold Mine" he seems sud
denly to remember where he is. Only for
an instant, but It detracts from acting of
the first class. Mrs. Gleason is delect
able as the faded star. It is so good a
bit of art that it cannot be described.
To Mr. Southard must be given the credit
of doing wonders as an English butler.
HIs make-up Is of the true style, and his

DIED FROM GUNSHOT WOUND
Verdict of Coroner's Jury in Inquest
Over J. W. Pnller.
Coroner Finley conducted an inquest
yesterday into the. circumstances connect
ed with the death of J. W. Fuller, and the
jury rendered this verdict, after hearing
the evidence of three witnesses: "We
find that J. W. Fuller came to his- death
in the City of Portland on or about Oc
tober 27. We find that his death was
caused by a gunshot wound In the right
temple. Manner unknown." Walter do
Groat, 472 Overton street the boy who
first discovered Fuller's body in a hollow
back of the power-house at Portland
Heights, related the circumstance, and
stated that he was eo badly scared at
the time, that he fell before calling on
another boy, Thomas Mlldren, 272 Six
teenth street, to come to him. Mlldren,
strange to say. Is the boy who discov
ered the skeleton one Sunday afternoon
about a month ago, In Macjeay Park. A.
B. Steinbach was the last witness, $nd
he briefly testified as to Fuller's disap
pearance, October 27. A certificate was
read from Dr. A. J. Giesy, stating that
that he had examined S-uller's body, and
that Fuller had died as the result of a
gunshot wound.

The comedy drama "Lost River," Jo
seph Arthur's latest success,- opened at
Cordrays yesterday afternoon. The
house was full, and the production proved
very successful. Applause was unstinted.
The train which brought the company
was Ave hours late, and, as a large
amount of scenery and other parapher
nalia, including a few horses, are carried,
It will be understood that very lively- ac
tion Had to be taken to get the afternoon
performance on the stage at all. Man
ager Cordray expressed himself much
gratified at the patience displayed by the
audience during the hour and a half walt.
The members of the orchestra exerted
themselves to their utmost to make the
time pass quickly,
"Lost River" is a play of Considerable
originality and strength. Its scope give
opportunity for plenty of good acting to
nearly every member of the company
The scene Is laid In an out-of-the-way
corner of the Middle West. The plot in
volves the discovery of a Idst father,
whose daughter has a very exciting time
of it between the machinations of 'an'un
natural half-sister, the attentions of a
heavy ruffian and' the ' trouble of saving
the lover from the latter and also from
robbers
Special features of the production were
an old-fashioned country dance at the
"Springs Hotel," and the singing of the
"Hobo Quartet." The latter was recalled
half a dozen times
Members who received a large share ot
the applause were Lo'ttle Briscoe, Elwood

FULTON IS FOR THE FAIR
Believes in $500,000 Appropriation
and an Open River.
C. W. Fulton was In town yesterday.
About theSen'atbrlal question he was as
mum as the clams on Clatsop beach. He
intimated, hbwever, that things were com
Ing his way, It Is a generally accepted
notion that' Mr. Fulton will have to be
elected early In the session if he is to
succeed. He Is now the most prominent
candidate and Is therefore drawing the
fire of all other aspirants. Mr. Fulton
declares- himself outspokenly for the Lewis
and Clark appropriation and an open river,
"Do you thinK 5500,000 too big an ap
proprlation?" was asked.
"Too much?" responded Mr. ' Fulton
"No, sir. I shall support It and vote for
it."
The reporter hinted at the rumors which
have been circulated, to the effect that
Mr. Fulton would not advocate the cause
of. the fair. Mr. Fulton responded quickly
"Well, I have spoken plainly. My mean
ing is clear. I shall support and vote for
the appropriation."
"Should the amount be lessened?"
"No. All of it should be given or noth
Ing. We should do this thing right or
not at all."
"How about the schemes to attach rid
ers to the appropriation?"
"I am not in favor of' coupling the ap
proprlation with any other measures at
all. The fair should stand absolutely on
Its own merits."
"Are you for an open river?"
"I am, most assuredly, and my record
In this matter is open. On this subject,
my'vlews of the present are my views of
tho past. They aro the same as those of
all Oregon. All Oregon wants an open
river."

beautiful play "Hearts of Oak'' will be the
attraction. .When James A. Heme wrote
his beautiful play of "Hearts of Oak" it
was said by many that he was ahead of
the times. ' In the face of -fierce oppo
sition the author upset all stage tradi
tions. He broke away from the ravings
and rantings of the footlights, he swept
aside Impossible scenes and situations.
he cast out the ugly stage properties and
evolved a new Order of things. He gave to
the stage "Hearts of Oak" and "Shore
Acres," "real" men, women and children.
He used no makeshift and stage properties
wnere it was possiDie to present tne gen
uine article. Who can ever forget the
real supper scenes in these two domestic
plays? "Hearts of Oak," presented by a
specially selected cast of talented play
ers, equipped with a magnificent display
of scenic effects, will be seen at the Mar
