Hard to Gnow MusHn6ons. The large
.Quantity of mushrooms sold in the mar
kets bt 'Portland this season and the fact
iiat, several persons made quite large
mms of money by gathering them for sale
ias given some persons an Idea that it
frould be profitable to go into the busl-
fess of raising mushrooms for market,
nqulriee have een received from several
is to where .mushroom seeds can' be ob
"alned. and one person has been much
Astonished by being told that mushrooms
iave tio seeds, and he -wants to know
iow they ar propagated. Although it Is
technically correct. It is hardly fair to
say that mushrooms have no seeds. The
ims.ll grains which flowcrlcss plants, like
he mushroom, produce, and which
Answer, like seeds, to reproduce the spe
cies, are called "spores." The spores of
i,he mushroom are produced along the
edges of the giils, but are so small that
they cannot be seen without the aid of
ft microscope. They are of a purple
brown color, and if the top of a -mushroom
la laid on a sheet of paper when the
tpores are mature, they will, fall and give
phe paper a brown coating, but the pa
per should be covered with a bell glass
to protect the spores, which are so light
that the slightest breath of air blows
them away. Mushrooms are generally
grown from "spayn," which comes in
takes or bricks, and contains the germ.
It requires much skill and experience to
xaake a success of cultivating mushrooms,
and the business would be very risky here.
It will probably be better to stick to gath
ering the wild mushrooms and to lntro
duca new epecies, of which there are
many of excellent quality not now In use.
Cols Dats for Retrievehs. Many who
seehe loaded -hunting boats starting
down river Saturday afternoon have no
compassion for the men who will go out
In the face of the most violent storm to
slop about swamps all days just to kill
a few ducks, but they are very sorry for
the poor retrievers taken along, because.
It Is said, they would krtw enough to stay
at home if they were allowed to. This ap
pears to be a mistaken idea, as the dogs
are no wiser than their masters, and are
quite as eager to go hunting, and en
joy retrieving the ducks as much as their
masters do shooting them. The most
mournful and dejected-looking animal
Imaginable was a dog which had been left
at home Saturday, but had broken loose
and got down to the wharf just too late
to get on board the hunting boat. The
tears fairly ran down his face as he saw
the boat going down the river with hunt
ers and dogs, and he left behind. The
sportsmen are careful of their valuable
dogs, and now that the water is cold use
them as little as possible to prevent them
,from getting rheumatism. Good sports
men are very careful not to leave any
crippled ducks on their lakes, and if
crippled birds hide away in the grass
or brush the dogs have to find them and
bring them in. Dead ducks usually blow
to the shore, but where water Is shallow
and the mud is deep and the ducks get
entangled in gross the dogs have to re
trieve them. Early In the season the dogs
are wljd to retrieve the ducks, and if Is
almost Impossible to keep them out of the
water, but icy cold water cools their en
thusiasm. John H. Hall and His Little
-Iatchet United States District At
torney John H. Hall, who overworked
himself one Sunday a short time ago. Is
feeling quite robust again.- A large
cherry tree which grew clpse to the front
of hi3 house had become a nuisance, and'
Mrs. Hall wanted it cut down. It oc
curred to Mr. Hall one Sunday that it
would be a good tiling fdr him -to cut
down the tree, which he thought would
be only a few minutes" work. He found
that the roots of the tree were as large
as the llmb&, and by the time he had
cut them off he was pretty well exhausted.
"When the tree fell it smashed down the
fence and blocked the sidewalk, and he
felt It his duty to clear It away. Cutting
off the limbs and piling them out of the
way proved a hard Job, and when Mr.
Hall had completed this he was about
used up. He says-that if cutting down a
cherry tree affected George "Washington
"fcs it did him he .feels sorry for George.
He has been feeling weak and dilapidated
ever since, but Thanksgiving dinner re
newed his health, and" he feels now as if
he would like to cut down another cherry
tree if It was not a large one and could
not fall across a sidewalk. It Is safe to
bet that "Washington did not cut a cherry
tree on Sunday. '' ,
R. Schwab Recovers From Bab Fall.
R. Schwab, who mot with the worst
tumble of his life about two weeks ago,
Is able to be out again, and is but llttlo
the worse for the accident. He was going
along Morrison street with his wife, and
they started to cross over to the Post
ofllce when the toe of his shoe caught
under the fiartge of one of the heavy
grooved rails which were strung along
the side of the street, and he fell, twist
ing his ankle and coming down on his
expansive "waist." which he says saved
his life, for, after bounding several times
like a football, he struck on his nose and
became insensible. His ankle, his noso
and the arm he put out to save him as
he fell- were badly hurt He says the
fall was not his fault, for his wife was
with him, and he had not drunk, anything
stronger than a glass of buttermilk, Mrs.
Schwab managed to guide him Into a
drug otore; where his hurts were dressed.
She says she was much frightened at
first, and thought her husband's brain had
been Injured, as he blamed her for his
mishap, but two weeks nursing put him
completely to rights, and he only lost 11
pounds weight, and is now as hearty and"
k as strong njid as well as he ever was.
Bass for Lone Fir Monument. a
block of granite weighing tpns from
which Is to be cut the die, or top stone
of the Lone Fir soldiers' monument, on
?hich the bronze statue is to stand, was
taken into Otto Schuman's shop Saturday
to be cut. The finished die will be 3x3
feet and 5 feet 6 inches long, and when
polished will weigh about five tons. The
base on which the ilie is to rest will soon
be taken in hand. The granite is from the
quarries at Rockland, Cal.. and Is very
light colored, having but little felspar In
Its composition. It makes a" very fine
appearance when hammer finished, but
when polished is In the opinion of many
not inferior In appearance to darker
granite.

Orbson Fruit Trees the Bert. Speak-
In of the Importation of fruit trees from
the East, an Old ofchardisf said Saturday
the Tiurserymen here were much to blame
for allowing their stock of young trees
to run down so low that they, cannot
supply the home demand. The Importa
tion of trees from abroad, he said. Is to
be deplored, not only on account of the
liability of new pests being Introduced In,
this way, but also "because of the intro
duction of undesirable species of fruit.
'For, Instance," said he, "Ve have air.
ready more varieties of apples jiere than
is desirable, and it is a bad Idea to intro
duce more which have not been tried here
and may prove unsulted to. this climate
and the fruit not suited to the market
There are plenty of varieties which have
been thoroughly tested here and are
known to be good, probably much better
than any new ones likely to be Introduced.
Persons planting .orchards should select
from those a few of the varieties best
adapted to the location where the orchard
is. An orchard containing a few trees
each of a""large number of varieties of
apples is of but little value. As for cherry
trees, which are in such great demand
now, none better than the home-grown
need be looked for as Oregon cherries
have no equals." Nurserymen say that
many people in ordering apple trees seem,
to have a desire to get as many different
varieties aa possible, for fear they may.
mss some good one, and the result is
that they have so few trees of any one
kind that they are at a disadvantage in
marketing their crop.
Locomotive Pitts Out Arc Lights. A
locomotive of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, while running up Fourth street be
fore daylight yesterday morning got Into
a little difficulty with the fixtures of two
arc lights Just south of College street
This resulted in the lights being put out
The guy stub or short pole on the west
side of the Btreet, from which a small
wire rope extended over, the street to
steady the electric light pole on the east
side, having been undermined and loos
ened. wa$ subjected to such a. heavy
strain from the effects of the gale then
raging that it was thrown down. The
locomotive coming . along at this time
"picked up" the guy rope and started In
to pull the electric light pole down. The
arc lamp was slammed about and discon
nected from the wire which furnished
the current to operate It The guy rope
took a half hitch about the headlight of
the locomotive and just tore it to pieces
and scattered the lamp, lenses and scraps
of tin all over the. street The electric
current did not get a chance to take a
hand in the struggle, or the locomotive
might have been much worse handled.
Caught at Revolver Practice. Gus
Hansouber, 42 years old, a Swede, who
had worked on the trolley car lines,
slipped six cartridges Into his revolver last
night shortly before 10 o'clock and walked
into the darkness and rain to try his luck
at hitting a telegraph pole in the neigh
borhood of Seventeenth and Thurman
streets. He had Just fired two shots when
he was collared by Policeman Nelson, who
had been attracted by the noise of the
shooting. "I'm only firing at a mark,"
explained Hansouber, but all the same he ,
and his revolver were taken by Jailer I
Johnson to the police station, where he
made this statement: "A friend of mine
told me that a -fellow was lookin for
me to do me up, and to be sure and take
care of myself. It's been some
time since I used my revolver,
so I thought I'd get some revolver prac
tice without my enemy being aware of
it I didn't want him to get the drop
on me. "Who was the friend? I forget.
Who is my enemy? Don't know his
name. He's a tall fellow, I hear." The
police took possession of his revolver,
which contained two empty shells and
four loaded cartridges.
Difficulties at Mount Baker Mine.
The Mount Baker Mining Company, which
a short time ago succeeded in getting a
10-stamp mfll installed at Its mine, af
ter waiting about a year for It as it
lingered on the way, is likely to have to
wait till next Spring before the crusher
gets In operation. The mill is to be op
erated by a stream from glaciers far up
the mountain. The mine is about 7000
feet above eea level; and, as might be
expected, there was a snow storm there a
short time ago which burled everything
completely, and is likely to keep it buried
till next Spring. The work of quarry
ing out rich ore is going on all the time,
and when the mill is once started there
will be plenty of ore on hand to oper
ate on. and gold bricks will be the next
thing in order.
Death of Charles Clinton. Charles
Clinton, 70' years old, a Civil War vet
eran, who died Saturday night at his
home, 351 North Seventeenth street will
be burled this afternoon at 2 o'clock from
St Patrick's Church, Savier street, and
the interment will take place at Mount
Calvary cemetery. Mr. Clintbnr who was
born In Ireland and who has been em
ployed at the Portland Rolling Mill for
several years, began to suffer from dropsy
about a year ago, and latterly was con
fined to his house He is survived by his
widow and one son, John .Clinton, of this
city, and four daughters, Mrs. Ida Smith
and Misses Lily and Rose Clinton, of Cali
fornia, and Mrs. Carrie Ellis, of this city.
Clinton served throughout the Civil War
and various Indian fights.
Professor Leckenbt's Pictures. Pror

number of his colored photographs of
flowers, blue, red, yellow, etc., to a
friend, who is In charge of the photo
graphic department In a store here, whq
says: "They were beautiful, Just as nat
ural as they could be." When he was
asked for samples to display in the show
window he said there was no -need of this,
as the party asking could have some ot
his own in a week or two.
Old "Shack Torn Down. The demoli
tion of the - old s'hack on Fourth street,
south of Woodard & Clarke's store, was
completed Saturday. The last load of
rubbish and broken lumber was hauled
away just before noon, . and during the
afternoon a trench for the foundation on
the south side of the lot was dug. Holes
for the floor Joists were cut In the party
wall on the north side, and the brick and
lumber for the one-story structure to be
erected there began to arrive. It Is ex
pected to have the building covered in

the city is not allowed to remain idle
very long these days.
Fine Weather to Be Expected.
Dreary, gloomy, stormy November, with
Its 6.4 Inches of rainfall has at last come
to an end, and now some fine weather may
be looked for. Yesterday was not a
cheerful day, but it was just a little sur
plus of November weather, and December
Wanted to get rid of it It is not pos
sible for the November style to continue
through December, as there is not, enough
stormy weather in a year to make two
such months as November has been. Lots
of fine weather may be expected this
montn. It will do no harm to expect It
and look for. it event If it should
fall to arrive.

' 'Rudolph and Adolpb,' written, adapted
and complied by Charles Newman, who
offers it not as an attempt to elevate the
stage, but merejy as an effort to drive
away tha blues" begins Cordray's pro
gramme for the present week. One may
say that the bluest blues that ever blew
would probably be blown away for a
couple of hours at least by the breezlness
of this musical farce-comedy. Perhaps It
doesn't elevate the stage, but It elevates
the spirits. Cordray's Is to be congratu-
lated for having such a jolly, good show
of its kind. Its run will doubtless prove
the most successful at this theater for
some time. The advance notices of "Ru-
dolph and Adoiph" had drawn a big
house to the opening matinee yesterday
notwithstanding the weather, and It is
safe to say no one was disappointed.
Dan .and Charles Mason are certainly
two or tne cleverest German dialect come-
dlans seen here In a long time, and they
are as equal in the quality of their clev
erness as they are similar In appearance
and make-up. They were so funny
throughout this ridiculous "comedv of
errors" that at times one might almost
beg them to "give over" long enough for
ono to catch a breath. After their German
song, "Deutche Lieder," they were re
called again and again, as also after
'Reminiscences of Days Gone By," which
they sang with Miss Bessie Phillips.
Robert B. Mack, as a Hebrew gasman,
had a good song, and executed a charac
ter daipe that brought down the house.
Fred Walz and Zadora R. Porter had
several most entertaining song specialties,
and Miss Jeanne Ardell, a pretty, grace-
fill girl, made a hit with her sang "Ze
it'udiic .L,aay." Nellie Maskelle and Magda
Foy were good, and the chorus girls make
a graceful and pretty company.

FIDDLE DEE DEE TONIGHT
Weber & FeId'Fnniou Burlesque
to Open at tlie Ularqnnin.
Weber & Field's famous burlesque "Fid
dle Dee Dee" will be nresentcd tonight
at the Marquam Grand Theater for the
first time In Portland and the theater
goers of this city will have an opportun
ity to pass Judgment uoon its merits. i
Much Interest is displayed not only be
cause of its being a new play, but. be
cause of the fact that it has i)een a
number of years since high-class bur
lesque has b.een given on the Coast That
this style of entertainment Is becoming
popular may be show by tho phenomenal
season thus far. .
The press of th6 ' surrounding cities
where Fiddle Dee Dee has appeared are
unanimous in their praise for It, and
even go so far as to recommend it as
a delightful change from the general run
of entertainments that have been-crowded
into this part of the country the past
few years.
Surely a play that has run the gaunt
let of discriminating general criticism for
.more than two years and ha?, emerged
in iiying colors to continue the substan
tial Interest in behalf of Its command
ing powers, - should not only be entitled
to earnest consideration, but 13 deserv
ing of a long lease of life;
Such a play is "Fiddle Dee Dee,", tho
most successful of all tho Weber1 &
Field's famous burlesques, from Weber
& Field's Music Hall, New York City,
the only play that ran the entire six
months at the Pan American Exposition
and recently had a run of 111 consecu
tive performances at Fischer's Theater,
San Francisco, from whence it comes
here.
Here is press comment from the San
Francisco Call: "There is little hope
of the doctors who make a specialty of
curing dyspepsia making fortunes so long
as Weber & Field's 'Fiddle Dee Dee' con
tinues at Fischer's Theater. There is
enough merriment crowded into tho cozy
tht-atcr this week to cure most any dis
ease, and enough left over to put the
heart Into a three-time loser. It is charm
ingly produced and uproariously funny,
and the clever scenic effects, costumes
and excellent chorus are bound to make
'Fiddle Dee Dee' the record-breaker in
tho history of San Francisco stages. The
burlesque has beepme the sensation of
the town."
When the curtain rises at the Marquam
Grand tonight Portland theater-goers
will see a bright galaxy of talent and a
chorus that is said to be by far the
prettiest and most well-trained . chorus
yet seen here. The prices will remain
popular through, the entire week and all
lovers of good things should take advan
tage of this. The seats are gqlng very
fast. There will also be a special bar
gain matinee Saturday at bargain prices.
BILL NOT YET DRAFTED.
Wlicn Drtrrrn. Up by Lclftlative Com
mittee It Wlll'Be Published.
SALEM, Nov. 30. (To the Editor.) Al
though much has been written about the
coming Lewis and Clark Exposition, but
little information n.3 to its plans has been
Imparted by the initial body.
While there seems to be a sort of under
standing that Portland will contribute,
say, $500,000, the state $500,000 and the gen
eral Government $1,000,000, making a to
tal of $2,000,000, nothing ha3 been inti
mated in regard to the distribution of
the management among the several con
tributing bodies, whether the Legislature
will be asked to make an absolute ap
propriation of $500,000, or one available on
condition that the other parties provide
their share. As these and other import
ant matters pertaining thereto have
doubtless been digested by your local
board, and as the state appropriation can
be made only by legislative enactment, "a
bill for an act" has doubtless been pre
pared to tjiat end for Introduction at the
approaching session of the Legislature,
which should be published for the in
formation of the public generally, and
especially of raembers-elct of the Legis
lature, who are being importuned to
pledge themselves to vote for a proposed
measure appropriating public funds with
out any knowledge of its provisions or qf
what conditions will be imposed to In
sure proper expenditures. Please publish

"The Masqueraders," which opened for
the week at Baker's yesterday, is a strik-
ing and powerful play, full of lines that
bite in, and of situations which, in the
hands of, the Neill Stock Company, make a
deep Impression. It is an artistic success
both in the' matter of acting and of cos
tumes and of stage setting. While many
spectators will feel that the play has an
unsatisfactory ending because nobody Is

HISTORY FOR THE SCHOOLS
H. S. Lyman Favors Boolcn "With,
First Accounts of Explorations.
PORTLAND, Nov. 30-(To the Editor.)
Having noticed a short allusion to a
project for supplying the public schools
of the state with literature relating to. tho
events to be celebrated soon by the Lewis
and Clark Centennial Exposition, and ob
serving my name mentioned in the con
nection.- I would ask space to give a little
further Information.
The plan is nothing very new, and. some
notice has already appeared In your col
umns; but not In the connection that you
have indicated. I am not at all author.
ized to say in what form the general Idea
would be best embodied, and any infer
ence that f or any one-else favors any
thing more than a full and fair repre
sentation of the matter before tho proper
authorities Is at least premature. I have
found, .however, upon making the sug
gestion to a number of leading educators
and representative state officers, that the
general plan of; furnishing the schools
with the accoun'aj as wrlten by thosB
who performe1 the -deeds- thatwe intend
to celebrate .and aliso a series to em
brace the first-hand stories of, settlement
and exploration by the men who made
the state, has met with universal ap
proval. I was asked to present the idea
at the convention of the western divi
sion of the Oregon Teachers' Association.
and the plan met with not only much
individual approval, but a strong resolu
tion was moved,- and was indorsed by, the
committee on resolutions, and was passed
ny the association. Finding this sent!
ment I have felt a desire that' the sub
ject be at least brought to the Intelli
gent attention of those who must de
clde. I think that if generally desired by
the educators and the schools, the matter
would undoubtedly be furnished.
The plan is very simple. By the last re
port of the State School Superintendent
there, were 20S1 school districts. This
would indicate approximately 3000 schools
In the state at present There were 133,
1S1 persons of school, age, of whom S9.404
were enrolled a3 pupils. For the benefit
of this army of children and young peo
ple, not to mention many others reached
through the school library. It seems no
more than fair that there should be tho
forethought that would place them in
position to understand what a celebra
tion euch as Intended signifies, and to be
brought to or to have brought to them
tne very scenes and adventures that form
the basis of the Exposition Itself, and
which are the sole ground for state or
National recognition and natronaee. To
Rthe people most interested in the success
of the Exposition those of Portland-
some plan to bring vividly to the minds
of all the people of the state that thcro
Is to be the celebration, and to create
beforehand a fund of intelligence and en
thusiasm on the subject, should commend
Itself as a wise advertisement What we
consider, too, the lasting results of
general public education In the acts and
historic deeds that resulted In creating
the state, the desirability of the project
becomes sun more apparent
The matter, however, is entirely in so
lution thus far. and. any one who would
like to see it carried out in the most eco
nomlcai and effective manner may be
credited as well as myself with "backing'

Through some misunderstanding it was
stated a short time ago that the City

WARRANTY OF THE
MARTIN INSTRUMENTS.
AND WHAT IT MEANS
C. F. Martin & Co. warrant all their
instruments without limit as to time.
As they express Itr "We guarantee sat
isfaction in every respect; if any defects
appesr we will repair them or replace the
instrument and pay express charges both
ways, the only rule being that such de
fects come by our fault in any way."
The value of such a warranty is not
so much in the safety it srives as In the
assurance that the work is done-well in
thr first- nlnno. Tho msifcora nf thr Mar- '
tin guitars and mandolins believe that
there is a brltrht future for these instru
ments, and they are building for that fu
ture as well as for the present

nated. Just before Thanksgiving, Secre-
tary Walpole, of the City Board of Char
ities, wishes it stated that the board
makes no appeal to the public on holi
days, never asks for anything through the
churches, or to be given on special occa- .
slons. The object of the boards Is merely ;
to supply necessities, to prevent the un-
fortunate from being hungry, naked or.
cold: They do not interfere with the work
of other charitable institutions, make no
gifts on holidays, but endeavor to find
cases ho one else is helping, and sup
ply necessities. This is the kind of work
the. board alms to do, and it is supported
by contributions from charitably disposed i
people, which are collected at regular in- j
tervals, and expended Judiciously and
properly accounted for.
