Alaska Ccbios on Exhibit. An exten
sive and Interesting collection of Alaskan
curios has been secured by L. L. Hawkins
from F. C. Bell for exhibition in the Free
rncaitm Aft "Pell Vi?q IntoW rftiimfl
from spending three or four years on the
lUKon ana its irioumnes. ana nis coiiec-
tlon consists of models in miniature of
the clothing, tools, toys, arms, canoes,
etc, of various tribes of Indians and Es
kimos. There is a large number of the
articles which have been arranged by Mr.
Hawkins in a showcase, which Is placed
in the lobby on the third floor of the City
Hall. There are two models of Eskimo
kyacks, from North Sound, a model of a,
birch bark canoe, from the Nulato
Indians, 400 miles from the mouth of
te Yukon: a. model of a large fam
ily canoe of walrus hide, from Uniak,
with the crew arid outfit complete. There
are several models of the parkies or fur
garments of natives from Norton Sound.
There are ornaments, tobacco' pouches,
and a large hunting bag, made by resi
dents along the Kuskokwlm River. There
is also in the collection a lot of muck
lucks, or the fur shoes and ladles' boots
of the Eskimo from King Island, walrus
tusks from Behrlng Sea, teeth of the kill
er whale, sponges and shells from the
Aleutian Islands, and some ivory orna
ments and lead ores from Siberia, Mr. Bell
having crossed over Into that country.
The collection will be found well worth
an examination, and It is a pity that It
could not be displayed in larger space
so that the articles could all be properly
labeled.
Against Scattered Additions. "It is
a great pity that so many additions have
been made 'nominally' to Portland, for
some of them are so far away that it will
be a long time before they will really be
any addition to the city." The speaker
was a man' who lately came to Portland
and intends to make his home here for
the future, and he was looking over a
map of the city with a view to selecting
a location. "It makes the city so scat
tered and the map so ragged-looking, and
has caused the creation of a lot of places
which are neither city nor country, and
only a poor substitute for either; I mean
sections which, although laid out In
blocks and lots, have no decent streets
nor sidewalks, no police, no fire protec
tion; no propter water supply, no sewers,
no adequate system of street lighting; in
short, none of tho luxuries or necessities
of city life and none of the peace and
quietness nor healthfulness Of life In the
country. The inhabitants of such outside
places are all the time looking forward
to having streets, lights, sewers, water.
police and other comforts of life, and are
discontented because they cannot get
them. Street railways, now that elec
tricity Is used for motive power, pene
trate through miles of unsettled terri
tory to reach such places, and the inhabl
tants spend a large portion of their lives
traveling to and from the city. Some way
ought to be devised for putting a stop to
the laying out of such 'additions' to any
city." Just how far this stranger's Ideas
are correct, each can judge for himself.
Scarcity in Loo Market. Builders who
have been complaining of haying to wait
an unreasonably long time to get orders
for lumber filled, although most of the
mills have been running night and day,
will be sorry to learn that there Is a
strong probability that all the mills will
have to cease running at night before
"Winter is through. Several havo stopped
night work already, and logs continue to
grow scarce. There has been so much
weather unfavorable for logging that tho
output has been greatly reduced, and
there Is so much work to be done this
Winter in the way of getting tracts of
burnt timber opened up that loggers will
have to employ many of their men on
this work. There will be plenty of logs
next Summer, when camps are opened up
In the burnt tracts, but the supply Is
likely to run short this "Winter.
Vain Chase of a Sign Dog. The atten
tion of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals is called to the dog
on a clothes cleaners sign on Front street
near Yamhill. This dog has been running
away with a hot goose for 20 years, but
has never found time to stop and let it
cool so that he could eat it. He was a
starved, hungry looking dog 20 years ago,
when he entered on his wild goose chase
in another part of the town. The shop
has been moved several times, but the dog
has kept on growing thinner and thinner,
till now his ribs are fairly coming through
his skin, and his appearance is painful
to those who have witnessed his long and
vain effort to dine on a tailor's goose.
The s!gn should be repainted, or the dog
touched up and renovated at least.

Telephone Cables Swept Away. The
recent freshets in the Willamette have
swept away two submarine cables of the
Pacific States Telephone Company. This
has caused a. considerable shortage of
"cross river" trunk lines, and a conse

river. Subscribers on the East Side have
experienced some delay in obtaining con
nections. The company, however, will
remedy this as soon as the state of the
water and current will permit. A cable
,.is already on hand and will probably be

DlFFJTRENCE BETWEEN HARES AND
Jackrabbits. TJiere are probably a great
many persons in Portland who do not
know the difference between a hare and a
rabbit, and many of them do not care
what this difference Is. A man who was
admiring a strips of animals hanging hi
fr6nt of a market Saturday remarked to
another who stopped to look at them:
"That Is a fine lot of jackrabbits." "They
.are not the jackrabbits of the plains at
ail," was the reply, "but are English
hares, and were introduced into Utah by
the Mormons, and havo spread over all
'the plains.' The Jackrabbit has a white
tall, pray -on top, while these hares have
black tails. The real jackrabbit Is half
as large again as the hare, and is always
In good condition and fit to eat, while the
hares, ore outcasts and paupers, too poor
to eat. The first of the black-tailed in
truders appeared in Idaho 30 years ago.
and now there are swarms of them, and
they, have eaten the ground clean, and
there are but few jackrabbits left On
the Malheur there are tens of thousands
of hares and not a jackrabbit." This Is a
lot of information to get from hearing
two strangers talk a minute or two, if it
Is correct. The books describe hares as
having Ipnger ears than rabbits, and hind
Jep much longer than their fore, legs,
They also say that the rabbit belongs to
the hare family, but Is smaller and Its
hinder legs are shorter, and it Is added
that there is nothing so fleet of foot as
the common hare, nothing so prolific as
the rabbit. Webster's Upabridged defines
"Jackrabbit" as any onq of several spe
cies of large American hares having very
large ears and long Jegs. It is not well
for one to acquire knowledge of natural
history from conversation overheard on
the streets, but it would be Interesting to
know whether the Mormons introduced
hares and polygamy Into Utah at the
same time.
To Consider Liquor Ordinance. The
proposed liquor license ordinance, which
was referred by the liquor license com
mittee to the Common Council, with a
recommendation that It be indefinitely
postponed, will be taken up for considera
tion at the meeting of the Council to
night From what a majority of the
Council have said, the recommendation of
the committee will be adopted without
dissent. One of the Councllmen said yes
terday that one of the reasons for post
poning the ordinance was that a section
provided for the licensing of saloon boxes,
music halls, etc., and such taxation had
been held to be Illegal, as the halls are
prohibited by the statute. An ordinance,
he said, will soon be drawn by which all
the saloons will be regulated, and the
licenses generally will b'e equalized.
To Install Traveling Crane. A trav
eling crane, the largest In the city, made
at the Willamette Boiler Works, for the
Portland General Electric Company, will
be put in placo in the company's new sta-i.
tion at Seventh and Alder streets, today.
It has a 60-foot span, tho full width of
the building, and will run on large tracks
18 feet above the floor. The two girders
forming the sides of the crane are of heavy
sheet steel, braced and strengthened. It
weighs 12 tons, and Is capable of lifting
?0 tons. It was designed by James R.
Thompson, engineer of the company, and
will be able to lift and move the heavy
machines to be Installed in the station to
any point on the floor without trouble.
Weather Is Vacillating. At this time
of the year some are looking for signs
of Spring, and others are expecting a hard
Winter to begin. The weather is mixed
and vacillating not cold enough for Win
ter, not warm enough for Spring. Movant
Hood, which has been invisible for weeks,
showed up clearly Saturday, and for a
brief time gleamed brightly in the rays of
the sun. Roses are becoming rather scarce
in the gardens, and ther flowers havo
decided to go Into retirement for a while,
to make ready for blooming again. So
the weather must be taken as it comes,
and there Is no use In trying to guess
what it is going to be.
Address by Dr. Voorsanger. At Tem
ple Beth Israel this evening, Dr. Jacob
Voorsanger, rabbi of Temple Emanuel,
San Francisco, and professor of Semitic
languages in the University of Califor
nia -will deliver an address under the aus
pices of the Council of Jewish Women.
The subject of the address will be "The
Sabbath Question and the Jewish Wo
man." Dr. Voorsanger la one of the
foremost thinkers in American Israel, and
a most learned and eloquent address may
be expected. Strangers will be cordially
welcomed.
Watch for Chinook Salmon Run.
Fishermen are looking for chlnook salmon
to put In an appearance about the middle

gun to arrive in large numbers yet, and
the price keeps up to a figure which
makes a pound of the little fish look like
30 cents. Young chlnooks, all the way
from 10 to 15 inches In length and likely
to be taken for trout, and capable of fill
ing the bill, have arrived, and the ad

far behind, fishermen say.

BUSHEY'S -CHARGES TRUE
So Sayn One Who Claims Personal
Kno-irledse of the Matter.
PORTLAND, Dec. 6. (To the Editor.)
I have read with some Interest the com
munication of Mr. Bushey concerning the
management of tho state lieu land enter
prise by Odell & Co. Mr. Bushey Is mak
ing some seriotts charges against some
one. I have personal knowledge of the
matters mentioned by Mr. Bushey. and
know that ho has stated the truth.- --
I listened with interest, when Governor '
Geer read his biennial message in Jan
uary, 1901, wherein, In effect, he defended
himself from the charges of mismanage
ment, rife at that time with reference
to lieu lands, by saying that those who
knew of instances where the State of
Oregon had suffered losses of sections 16
and 36 were free to establish that fact and
utilize the bases In the selection of lieu
lands. That is just what General Odell
has been doing for the past few years.
There is nothing wrong so far. General
Odell knew of those losses and sold his
Information at a profit to himself of, say,,
$1 25 per acre, on at leasf 100,000 acres.
Acting upon the hint contained In Gov
ernor Geer's message a certain Individual
looked up s6me of those losses and under
took to utilize the base In the manner sug
gested by the Governor's message. The
State Land Agent refused tofile the se
lection lists and the Governor and State
Land Board refused to direct him to do
so.
The prico of lieu land at that time and
for some years past had been ?2 50 per
acre. General Odell had sold the Infor
mation to those desirous of purchasing
school lands for 51 25 per acre, thus mak
ing the net cost of lieu land to the buyer
$3 75 per acre.
Recently the State Land Board has sig
nified Its willingness to recognize base
other than that furnished by General
Odell. but has raised the price to 55 per
acre. So far as the action oC the State
Land Board affects lieu lands the price of
tho same selected through base furnished
by General Odell remains at J2 50 per acre.
It does not appear that General Odell has
any base at this time, but It does appear
that he Is making a desperate effort to
adjudicate about 100.000 acres. In event he
should succeed the State Land Board will
sell lieu lands-selected through the base
furnished by him at 52 50 per acre. This
will give Odell & Co. the best of the situa
tion.
The insinuations of Mr. Bushey that
some state officials are In partnership with
Odell has no further ground than the fact
that the proceedings In the Department of
the Interior, looking toward the adjudi
cation of mineral sections, must be had
under sanction of the proper officials of
the State of Oregon. In other words, they
must authorize the proceedings. Conse
quently, f General Odell shall show up
with mineral base It follows that he ha3
had the support, if not the active assist
ance, of the state land officials.
It might be suggested that there ap
pears no good reason why clients of Gen
eral Odell should be permitted to pur
chase lieu lands at 52 50 per acre while all
others are .obliged to pay 55.

TRIBUTE TO T. B. REED.
Dr. George C. CreMer Refers to Rigid
Honesty of the Dead Statesman.
Before beginning his sermon yesterday
morning' at the Unitarian Church, Dr.
George C. Cressey made a reference to
the death of Hon. Thomas B. Reed. "It
has been said that some men are too
brilliant, and others too honest, to reach
the highest office In the Republic by the
ordinary; political process of nomination
and Selection. MrC Reed' was 1j'oth too
briHmiit- and too "honest to attain easily
the greatest gift In the power of the
American people. His entire political
course was marked by a rugged honesty,
an absolute Integrity, which compared
well with these qualities as exemplified
in the founders of the Nation.
"Mr. Reed has been reported to
have been in religion an agnostic
oometimes an atheist To my knowl
edge, this Is incorrect He was
In his views, substantially a Unl
tarlan. He ealy rejected the doc
trine of -the orthodox church under
the influence of which he received his
early education. One Incident in this
connection Illustrates his strict sense of
probity. Having entered Bowdoln Col
lege with tho general intention of be
coming a clergyman of the orthodox Con
gregational Church, he 'found, In the
course of his studies, that his opinions
were such as to make this impossible

those of whose generosity he had been
the beneficiary, as a prospective student

portunlty he refunded the money whioK
he had received as aid from them.
"It was an example of rigid honesty,
to say the least, none too common. His
position to the late President McKinley
on the question of expansion, and his
resignation of the Speakership, illustrate
his political Independence."
"TO HELL IN A PULLMAN"
Rev. Bnrtlett Prevailed Upon to De
liver Celebrated Society Lecture.
So favorable an impression did Rev.
Norman Howard Bartlett, of Minneapolis,
make in his memorial address before the
local lodge of Elks yesterday afternoon,
Hjid so general has been the demand for
him to give a lecture before his return
to the East, that he has been prevailed
upon to give his celebrated society lec
ture, entitled "To Hell In a Pullman."
This lecture has brought Mr. Bartlett
fame throughout tho East, receiving the
highest encomiums from pres.s and pulpit
wherever It has been delivered. The lec
ture deals with the conventional shams of
society, and Mr. Bartlett handles his sub
ject with the most consummate skill. He
has given It much thought, and the lec
ture Is pronounced the most Interesting
and successful upon the lecture platform
today.
Those who failed to gam admission to
tho Elks' memorial .services yesterday
will, therefore, have ah opportunity to
hear Mr. Bartlett in a field In which he
has no peer.
Tho lecture will be given at the Mar
quam Grand Theater, Friday evening, un
der the auspices of Portland Lodge of
Elks.

FEELING AGAINST HEARST
And His Preposterous Presidential
Candidacy.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7. (Special.)
A part of the world Is not unaware of
the fact that William Randolph Hearst
has been spoken of here by his own pa
per, the Examiner, as a possible Presi
dential" candidate on the Democratic
ticket If Mr. Hearst takes his own. can
didacy seriously, it would seem that he
Intends to capture the nomination by de
feating Democracy, for his energies and
resources and the energies of all of his
agents in this state were devoted, In the
campaign recently closed, to defeating
Franklin K. Lane, the Democratic nom
inee for Governor.
Mr. Hearst is so bent on gaining con
trol of the state Democratic organization
that the most peculiar situation was pre
sented during the campaign of the only
Democratic daily paper in San Francisco,
the Examiner, owned and controlled by
Mr. Hearst, In opposition to the regular
Democratic nominee for Governor. Thl3
opposition, according to the Examiner,
was because Mr. Lane 13 and has been as
sociated with those who are not friendly
to labor organizations.
Mr. Hearst's fight against Mr. Lane be
gan with the meeting of the Democratic
State Convention In September last. This
convention was probably one of the mo3t
untrammelled political bodies that has
ever met In this or any other state. The
Examiner told the convention plainly
whom It should nominate and threatened
that It would not support Mr. Lane If he
was nominated, for the reason, it said,
that he was associated with men who are
unfriendly to labor organizations, not-
wlthstanumg that there were many mem
bers of trade unions at the convention
asking for Mr. Lane's nomination. The
convention decided that It would not be
dictated to. It was satisfied that Mr.
Lane was not unfriendly to labor organ
izations, and it realized that its candidate
would have to overcome a normal Repub
lican majority of about 47,000. votes.
Prompted only by a desire to put forward
its host man, one who would have some
chance of winning, It nominated Mr. Lane
on the first ballot by a three-fourths vote
of the convention.
Prior to his nomination, Mr. Lane had
thrice been elected City and County At
torney of San Francisco, each time with
a majority greater than before. As City
Attorney he had rendered several hundred
written, opinions upon matters of grave
public concern In many of which he was
called upon to construe the new city
charter, an Instrument full of novel pro
visions. Yet neither the Examiner nor
any. of the Republican papers could find
anytning in Mr. Lane's life, public or pri
vate, to condemn during his fight for the
Governorship. Nevertheless, the agents
of Mr. Hearst made a most persistent and
continuous fight against Mr. Lane. Dur
ing the last week ot the campaign, when
the Republicans had despaired of the sue
cess of their candidate for Governor, the
employes of the Examiner practically took
charge -lor them, gave them aid and com
fort, and, by suggestions, cheered them
on to renewed exertions.
Mr. Hearst will find it hard to explain to
the bulk of the Democrats of California
whose bitterest antagonism he has
aroused, how it was that Mr.(Lane could
carry San Francisco for Governor by 900
3'otes, while a Democratic candidate for a
local Judgeship, wno was supportea Dy
the Examiner, was defeated by more than
10,000; how Sacramento, the capital of tne
state, that went for 'McKinley in 1900 by
2300, gave Lane a majority of c00; how he
carried, almost without exception, every
county in the San Joaquin and In the
Sacramento "Valleys; how he cut down or
wiped out the Republican majorities In
even' county in Northern California; now
he reduced the Republican majority
throughout the entire state from 47 000 to
lc3s than 2500, while the rest or tne uemo
cratic state ticket was beaten by from
20,000 to 65,000; how he carried the Fourth
Congressional District by o5, while iUr.
Llvernash, one of the editors or the .x
nmlner. who ran for Congress In that dis
trlct on a combined Democratic-Union
Labor party ticket, was elected, according
to the returns, by 141 majority.
An analysis of the vote cast shows that
Mr. Lane received at least E5 per cent of
the votes of the members of labor organ
Izations throughout the state; so that
there was, then, absolutely nothing in Mr,
Hearst s contention that iaoor organlza
tlons had any fear of Mr. Lane becaus
of his associations.
Mr. Lane's friends insist that the real
explanation of Mr. Hearst's peculiar con
duct Is that he would put under foot all
who stand In the way to prevent him
from capturing the. Democratic 3tate or
ganization; that Mr. Lane is fearless and
Independent, and has never permitted
himself to be used as a political annex
of Mr. Hearst's papers, but ha3 stead
fastly refused to be a party to the meth
ods of yellow journalism. These friends
of Lane's are legion and they would not
