Disputes Over. Trifles. What trifling
things people -will dispute about, remarked
a man yesterday, as he came across two
other men in a hot dispute over half a
dozen geese in a coop in front of a com
mission store. One- insisted that' they
were wild geese, while the other eaid they
were tame geese. They pulled the heads
of the poor geese between the slats of the
coop and nearly worried their lives out
during the dispute. Finally they thought
of asking the commission man for in
formation, and were disgusted to find that
the geese were a cross between the wild
and tame gooso, and were raised by a
man near Monmouth, who sends In a
lot every year to be sold to sportsmen
for decoys. They are quite tame, but
had tho voice of the wild goose, and will
call to wild geese passing over like a
fog signal. Such geese are readily dis
posed of to sportsmen for more than
tamo geese eell for. Just a step further
along threjj men were disputing about
holly trees, and trying to decide why
some of them bear berries and others
never do. Tljcy had heard of male and
female trees, but could not tell the dif
ference, and fo had waste.d time and
money on trees which would bear no
berries. This -is not wonderful, as the
holly tree is peculiar. It date's from the
mlocene age. when it wae very plentiful
in Europe, but only one of the old va
rieties is now left there. There are. how
ever, some 110 species of three different
families, and the species have different
peculiarities. Many people have been
worried over holly trees, and one botan
ist had a theory that the trees changed
sex while growing up. There is room for
the acquisition of much information in re
gard to the holly tree. If the Oregon bot
anist, Thomas Howell, has any leisure
perhaps he will furnish some information
about this strange tree.
Fues Thbive in Winter. It is cer
tainly late enough in the year and the
Winter season Is far enough advanced
for house files to have gone Into Winter
quarters and mosquitoes to have gone to
their destinations. Neither of the pests
has, however, disappeared. A business
man was met yesterday with a -badly
swollen 'check, which nearly closed an
eye. He stated that about 9 o'clock on
the previous evening, while he was read
ing, he imagined that he, saw a mosquito
pass before his eye and felt it alight on
lis cheek. He could not believe his own
senses till he felt the bite of a mosquito
piercing his cheek. Then he asked his
wife to see If there was not a mosquito
on his cheek. She looked, saw the mos
quito, and with the book she had been
reading aimed a blow at the mosquito
which about knocked her husband off his
chair, but missed the intended victim.
Then both joined In a chase after the
mosquito the last of the season, it Is to
be hoped "but It evaded them and found
a hiding place. The swelling on the man's
face, he says, was caused by the blow
his wife dealt him. As for flies, they still
linger in the City Hall, and one of the
occupants has a-fly paper on his desk.
Some frosty weather is needed.
Storm Spoiled Fismitri. a resident of
Portland who has a salmon cannery on
the SHetz River has just returned from
winding up the affairs of the place for
tho season. He says the present storm
began over there on November 5, and
has knocked him out of 1000 cases- of fish.
He got along very well till he had packed
3C00 cases, and the fish were getting very
plentiful,,. And then the storm came In
and spoiled the fishing. Outside cannery
men are not so much worried about prices
as the Columbia River cannerymen, for
they do not expect so much for their
fish and are not troubled by reduction in
the price. They Just want to catch all
they can and take what they can get for
them. It is too bad that a storm should
last so long as this one has, but this
man did not begin early enough.
Good Chance for National Guard
Bill. Adjutant-General Gantenbeln re
ceived a telegram yesterday from the sec
retary of the Interstate National Guard
Association, announcing that the Dick bill
for reorganizing the National Guard has
been favorably reported by the Senate
committee, and that prospect of Its nas
sage before the Christmas holidays is
good. The bill passed the House on the
last day of the previous session by a prac
tically unanimous vote of ISO to 26. This
bill will place the National Guard on a
Federal footing and give it the National
recognition for which the militia has con
tended since 1792. The prestige of the
guard will be greatly Increased, according
to General Gantenbeln, as the militia will
be rendered much more efficient by the
provisions of the bill.
Dangerous Place- Repaiked. The
broken cover of a manhole in the street
at the southeast corner of the City Hall
has been repaired by a piece qf plank be
ing laid over it. It was a dangerous place,
through which both fore legs of a horse
could have passed Into a hole five feet
in tlepfti. so that both legs might have
easily been broken at once. Such pitfalls
for horses cannot be allowed to remain
s t for long so close to the City Hall. The
dc fayed floor in a room in the basement
of the City Hall can, however, remain un
rop'.aced year after year and continue to
unread a sickening odor abroad. This
will be attended to when the city gets
rltnty of money, which will be in the
sweet' by and by.
War He Was Pleased. There is not
aa a usual thing any great amount of
hilarity displayed by the crowds which
collect occasionally in the water works
office to pay rates. There was one man
In the string waiting yesterday who looked
so pleased and smiling that friends com
ing in asked him what made him so
happy. "Oh," said he, "my water bill
is reduced; the Jtem of irrigation for lawn
has been put off.
Sailor Injured in a Fall. John Che
lan, a sailor, employed In unloading rail
road iron at the dock of the Oregon
Water Power & Railroad Company, was
seriously Injured by a fall from the dock
to the barge. He was removed to St.
Vincent's Hospital. His injuries were re
garded as very serious. He fell about 20
feet. He had been at work, but a short
time when the accident happened.

Chinese Object to Gambling Raids.
A lot of San Francisco Chinamen are In
the city on a visit. They are nearly all
big, well-fed, good-looking fellows, who
spent the last fishing season in Alaska
canning salmon, and all made money. One
of them, by taking chances on the pack,
made some 520.000. These visitors are not
favorably impressed with the authorities
of Portland. They say they have always
been accustomed to playing fan-tan among
themselves as a pastime, and that no
white men are admitted to their soireea
They therefore object to being placed un
der surveillance by the police. They say
it Is all right to close tho gambling games
of the white men. where thousands of
dollars are lost and won in a night, but
that there Is- no need for their little
games to be meddled with. It Is plain
that there is room for good missionary
work among these visitors. They are,
however, pleased to find that they are
not shut off from the pleasure of toying
with nlckel-in-the-slot machines, so life
Is not altogether a blank .to them, and
they will manage to live "on until they
get to Alaska next Summer, when they
can play fan-tan all the time if theywish.
The San Francisco Chinese do not appear
to have been brought under the Influence
of civilization so much as those of Port
land. '
Fish Scarce in Market. Yesterday
being Friday, when many people do not
eat meat, not even tripe, market men
wore In trouble on account of the non-arrival
of fish from outside sources of sup
ply, and the failure of crabs, clams or
other shellfish to come. The effects of the
storm of last Sunday have been felt all
along the coast for the past few days.
The. league-long rollers- have been thun
dering on the beach mountains high all
the way from Patagonia to Northern
Alaska, and fishing has not prospered. The
time of the tide has rendered it neces
sary on the coast of Oregon to dig clams
in the night, and the wind has been so
strong that It has been Impossible for
the diggers to keep their lanterns lighted,
and so they could not see the little holes
in the sand which show where the clams
are. So there were practically no clams,
either razor or hard-ehell, in the market
yesterday, and a very scanty supply of
fish, which is a bad business for Friday.
Just what the clams think about the
lamps being blown out Is not known, as
on account of their having no skulls the
location of their brains has not yet been
discovered.
To Have a Panama Breakfast. An
elderly man, apparently from the country ,
while coming down Third street ypster-
day was hailed by a fruit peddler with
the cry of "choice Panama bananas, all
ripe, 15 cents per dozen." The elderly man
eaid: "Give me two dozen. It Is 50 years
since I landed on the Isthmus of Panama
-at Asplnwall and walked up to a hotel
for breakfast I stopped on the-jvay to
hug a cocoanut tree and look up at the
clusters of nuts till I nearly broke my
neck, and then I went to a hotel and had
fried bananas, fried chicken and fried
eggs for breakfast. After a week In the
second cabin of a steamer I thought it
was the finest breakfast I had ever eaten,
and I have never had the same kind of a
one since. I shall take these bananas
home and find a chicken and some eggs
and have a real Panama breakfast." If
the old man finds fresh eggs and good
frying chicken he will do better than
most can now.
Complaint as to High Rents. There
is general complaint on the part of those
who have to rent houses that rents are
too high, but owners have a, different
opinion, and say that they would build
more houses if they could get better rents
for them. As long as all the houses built
are let as soon as they are finished at
whatever price the owners ask, there is
no probability of rents being reduced. One
poor woman who occupies the upper story
of a small building, to which she has to
find entrance by a back staircase, and in
which there Is hardly room to. stand and
for which the rent Is 510 per month, was
ordered out by her landlady yesterday
because she did not pay enough, and she
applied to the City Board of Charities
for assistance. A better place at less
cost will be found for her, but the weather
Is not pleasant for moving these days.
Safety Fire Alarm Apparatus. Mayor
Williams has received from an Eastern
firm alarm works a circular describing a
new safety fire alarm apparatus, "which
may be set so that the smallest spark of
fire will place the alarm in motion. Large
establishments will be connected directly
with the fire depot, so that the automatic
alarm would be Immediately set in op
eration in case of fire in any partof the
establishment." The patentees of the ap
paratus state that It "will be a joy for
ever," but they give no further informa
tion about It than that It will be a pre
ventative against conflagrations. The
communication will probably be referred
to one of the Council committees for con
sideration. Motbr Store Robbed. Again the -offer
made by the Moyr clothing store has
attracte4 the attention of people who do
not want to buy clothes, or at least do
not want to take any chances In getting
the 10th suit to get a 510 bill. A hole
about a foot In diameter through tho
large plate-glass, show window shows how
thieves last night got two of these bills.
A rock about the size of a man's fist
was found inside- of the place, which
shows how the window was broken and
a stick with a pin in it which was found
a short distance from the scene of the
robbery shows how the bills were taken
out through this small hole.
Janitor Johnson Missing. Peter John
son, a janitor in The Oregonlan building.
has mysteriously disappeared, and his
friends report that they are at a loss to.
know where he can be. He lived at 313
Couch street, but no trace of him can
be found there. Upon finishing his day's
work last Monday he left the building,
and nothing has been heard from him
since. Ho was well dressed at the time
he left home to go to work. No one is
able to offer any explanation of his dis
appearance, and there is much conjecture
as to what might be the cause of his
continued absence.

think they have the right men.

A Thoroughly Human Play.
"Shall We Forgive Her?'" a New York

at the Baker Theater all next week, start
ing with Sunday matinee, is .a play that
was accorded one of the greatest suc
cesses of anything ever produced by the
well-known manager, Jacob Lltt, and in
which the clever actress, Marie Waln
wright made such a tremendous hit It
is a drama of unusual strength and tells
a story of absorbing heart interest, and
treats the social problem in a new and
original manner. It holds- the mirror up
to nature in a way to reflect the most
dramatic episodes in the career of a wo
man who desires to lead a new and bet
ter life, and who breaks away from past
evil associations. The play will be given
a thoroughly complete presentation by
the Neill Stock Company at the Baker

picturesqueness. Is the fire scene. A mag
nificent panoramic view of New York har
bor Is given, with the great buildings vis
ible from the Battery, all Illuminated

Winkle is familiar to almost every Amer
ican, and they have grown to love the
charming vagabond just as the children
In the grand old fable did. The Jeffer

theater-goers have come to look upon
their annual engagement as one of the
rare treats of the season.
