An old and crippled man was seen yesterday searching over one of the park blocks and gathering some kind of a plant by run ning a thin knife Into the ground Jn such n manner as to cut off the root of tho plant Just below the crown, so that all the leaves came away In a bunch. He had a basket nearly filled with the plants, nnd several stopped to see what he was doing. One said probably he was clear ing the blocks of some kind of noxious weed. Another, who came from New England, stooped over and took a look lit the plants, and said, "Why. he is Just Catherine dandelions for a mess of greens, and at the same time is ridding the block of a noxious weed." A native-born Ore gonlan asked what greens were, and what they were used for. "Yfell," said tno New Englanoer, "when I was a boy I used to be sent out early in the Spring, as soon es vegetables began to grow, to gather dandelions and leaves of the yellow dock, which were boiled and called greens. The supply of cabbage stored for Winter would be exhausted before Spring, and every body would hanker for some fresh green stuff. There was no California to send us spinach and new cabbage and cauli flower, and hothouse lettuce was not known In those daysi You can imaglno that a dish of greens was a treat early In the Spring." Tho old man. when asked what he was going to do with the dande lions, said, "They make a very fine sal ad." They are probably a little bitter, but are wholesome. Good Beef at IIeabokabls Price. Several caterers who met at one of the principal markets yesterday were asked Jiow the price of meats at present com pares with the price in former years. They agreed that It was fairly reason able for this time of the year, especially when the quality is taken Into considera tion. The market is now well supplied with meats of a superior class, especially In the line of beef. "In years past prices of beef have been higher at this season and tho meat not nearly so good," said one. "Often we used to have to put up with dark, tough, lean beef at this timo of year, when there had been a hard Winter, and stall feeding was practically unknown on Oregon ranges. The beef now supplied Is fattened on alfalfi and chopped barley, principally, and as can be seen by looking at It. there can bo none better." "A rump or chuck roast or steak from a first-class stall-fed steer Is much superior to tho choicest cuts from a steer run in from a range half starved and killed to save his life, as used often to be done," said another. From what these mtn, who have to buy meats every day all the year round, say. It Is evident that there Is but little to complain of in the price of beef at present, and the qual ity Is all that could be desired. Old Poplar Trees Cct Down. Some half-dozen big old poplar trees are being removed from In front of the property at the southeast comer of Everett and Fourth street. "The cement sidewalks are getting away with the shado trees," said tho man In charge of the work. "It Is no trifling Job to root out such large trees and fell them without doing damage to the surrounding property. "From this corner can be had a glimpse of some of the many dilapidated and decapitated old poplar trees on tho park blocks. Many citizens say these should be got rid of as soon as possible, and the Park Com missioners will hive a chance to prepare plans for "reforesting" the blocks, so that they may really beautify the city in years to come. There is nothing beautiful about them now. Candidate for assistant Postmaster. Herbert C Smith, chief deputy County Clerk in the State Circuit Court depart ment, is reliably reported to be an appli cant fop the position of assistant post master under Postmaster F. A. Bancroft,, Mr. Smith has taken an active pirt In Republican politics in Multnomah Coun ty for about 15 years. He served two terms as County Clerk, and one term of two years as County Commissioner. He also served as deputy County Clerk under T. C. Powell and has been a member of the Republican State Central Committee, and a delegate to various Republican con ventions. Mr. Smith has worked with Mr.- Bancroft In the Southern Pacific office, and their relations with each other are of a very friendly nature. Wnr Work Is Delated. The opening of the Scottish Rite Cathedral will not take place as early as was expected, prob ably not till some time in April. The delay Is due to the amount of "white work" in the auditorium. There Is white and gold all about, but the cornices, etc, are finished In what Is known as white work, which requires time, and moreover there aro only two men In the city who do this kind of work, which It will be seen cannot be hurried up for two reas ons. The dome of stained or art glass Is practically finished, and Is a wonderfully grand and beautiful piece of work the finest by far of the kind In the city. Interest in County Exhibits. The towns throughout Oregon are rapidly fall ing In with tho scheme of the Oregon Information Bureau. Roseburg, Ashland, Medford. Toledo and other cities in the state are furthering the work of the bu reau by means of their Boards of Trade. Superintendent F. V. Drake, of the bu reau. Is much pleased over the action taken by the counties, and Is of the opin ios that as soon as a little competition between the counties Is started the pres ent quarters will not be large enough for the exhibit, We're Next!

(Mention was made a few days ago of a lot of towsy tykes and ragged terriers an ugly looking lot of dogs being In' a fight on Fifth street and trying to pull down a big dog uglier than themselves. The owner of the dogs, a butcher, takes ex ception to the remarks about their looks. He says they are very useful, and he has to keep them' to drive rats away from the place. He -says the very ugliest and riggedett of the lot Is the best, and he has refused J50 for him. If ho kept hand some dogs, they would all be stolen, he says. When asked why he did not keep cats, he said that cats, as long as they get all the meat they want to eat. will not kill rats. When told that the base ments of butcher shops and every place about them where rats might find cover should be finished with concrete. In which no rat can gnaw holes, he admitted this, but said butchers could not find shops built that way: so they have to keep dogs to scare off the rats. The gang of dogs In question had been sitting about listening to what was slid about them, but at this moment a boy came loping down the street on a cayusc, and away went each and every dog chasing pell mell alter the pony and leaping up to nip the boy's feet, "Why don't you train the beasts to behive?" the owner was asked. "They do. generally," was the reply, "but that Is the boy who brings up our horses in the. morning, and he hit the dogs with a whip and threw something at them, and ever since they chase after him and try to blto him, and I cannot break them of It. They are Just poison on him, and I rather like to seo them get even." Js Tuif. a Necessart EvilT Residents of Washington street, from Fourth to the Exposition building, are not pleasid with the horrible condition In which that section of the street is kept by the earth ppilled from the wagons hauling it from various excavations to dump In the gulch near the Exposition building. They are pleased to see the excavating going on, nnd tileased to see the gulch being filled. but think this could be done without their street being kept In a perfect muck all tho time. They say that It Is cleaned every evening by the street cleaning de partment, and that by 10 o'clock the next morning the mud Is ankle deep: and they cannot cross the street or get to or from a street-car without wading in the mud. Contractors have nc-er been so particular as they should be In regard to spilling earth from their wagons, but there Is an ordinance for their special control, and If things are unbearable on tho piece of street mentioned the Civic Improvement Association and their spe cial officer will probably attend to the matter If their attention is called to it. The remedy for the trouble proposed by the residents on the street is for the wagons to carry tho earth up Alder street, but probably people on Alder street have some ideas In the case. Different .Kind of a "Musk."-A son of sunny Italy, who has a little place of business down town, frequented princi pally by his thirsty countrymen, was ap proached a day or two ago by a boy, who asked If he wanted to buy a "chipmunk." He did not know what a chip or a chip munk was, but understood that the boy wanted to sell him a "cheap munk." which meant to him a low-priced mon key. He asked the price and was told JU Many Italians have an Inherited fancy for hand organs and monkeys. Many Americans can remember when they did not see .an Italian In a -year except in company with an organ and a monkey. The price was considered very "cheap," and the boy was told to bring down the munk." When he arrived and the pur chaser found out what a chipmunk was, he repudiated the contract, and tho boy now calls -him a Dago. It Wab Filled Wmr Gab. A messen ger boy on his way to a hospital yester day with a large rubber balloon or sack filled with gas of some kind, to be used on persons undergoing operations, was asked by one of a party of men standing on a corner what there was In the sack. The boy said he did not know, but that he was told. If any one asked him this. to say it was one of the' speeches made at Salem while the Legislature was in ses sion. No more questions were asked, but the address of the druggist who had filled the order for gas was taken for future reference. Specimen of Fine Granite. The Board of Trade is in receipt of a very fine speci men of highly polished granite from one of the large quarries of Baker County, and has placed It In a conspicuous place In the exhibit. The quarry from which the stone was taken covers several acres of ground, and its granite is said to be unexcelled on the Pacific Coast and su perior to that of the State of Maine. Death of Mrs Sarah Kahn. Mrs. Sarah Kahn, a resident of Portland for 30 years, died at her home at Sixteenth and Yamhill streets yesterday at noon.

Mr. Frank Nau. the well-known Portland pharmacist is looking after bis business In Portland preparatory to his early re turn to New York. There Is. not a little Interest In this city as to the special na ture of the business that has caused Mr. Nau to devote almost his entire time to his Eastern Interests. It Is nothing more nor less than the development to large proportions of a proprietary medicine business that had its start in a modest way In Portland. It Is Nau'a Dyspepsia Cure, which was first sold over the coun ter of the Portland Hotel Pharmacy two and a half years ago, and is now one of the recognized standard remedies of the world. When Mr. Nau started in to place bis remedy on the market he had no Idea that its merit would find such lnatantann- ous recognition. But he knew it was a good thing, and would accomplish all it was recommended to accomplish; so when his friends and customers told him to seek a wider market for Nau's Dyspepsia Cure he finally decided to take their ad vice. The chief advertisers of the remedy have been the people who have used It and have been cured by It, "Cured" Is the proper word, for It goes to the seat of the trouble and does not. like ''other medicines, simply relieve temporarily. Nau's Dyspepsia Cure is now sold throughout the United States, inBritlsh Columbia, Canada. England, Australia and Hawaii. The sales are increasing so rap idly wax Mr. rau contemplates the for mation of a stock company to facilitate his extensive plans.

Powers Bam "Wllber Harold La, Costa Gus Shultus .Win. T". Kokman Abe Shultus Root. Blailoek Dr. Rufus Winnie C. O. Wallace Marsaret Ryan Aotuata True Lydla Winnie r. Leslie Lyle GUI Cooper . Helen Toons The Peacemaker The Baby Real family llfo In the heart of the Catsklll Mountains, New York, was pret tily pictured at the Marquam Theater last night by Daniel Sully and bis company In "Tho Old Mill Stream." For the first night of Lent tho attendance was good. Various members of Florence Roberts' company occupied private boxes. It Is pleasant to see a play not made up of risque French situations, where the sanctity of true love and married Ufa Is made ridiculous. "The Old Mill Stream" was first nresented by Daniel Sully at New York on Christmas day. 1902. and paid Its first visit to Portland last night. Tnere are three acts and no change of scenery, the scene being a representation of Rob ert Ryan's general store, where sugar, tea. shoe laces, stove blacking, etc., are sold, and where the citizens of Mink Hol low. N. T.. receive the United States mail. Sully takes care of the part of Robert Ryan, and is as quietly humorous as ever. The bone of contention in the play Is the stream of water which turns Ryan's grist mill, and when Gus Shultus. an elderly German settler, a part played by W. F. Kokman. falls out with Ryan, ho cuts the mllldam for revence. thinking he will stop the power driving Ryan's mill, but the water flows over the Shultus farm and ruins it. In the meantime Ryan has been secretly erecting a steam plant In tho mill, and Is therefore independent ot tho water power. Sully makes a hit when he defends Gill Cooper (Helen Young), a young wife whose husband has temporar ily left her, against the fury of the mob. who wish her turned adrift. He is Impres sive when he says. "He that la without sin among you cast the first stone, ana funny when he utters the truisms. "A man who marries for money earns It," and "A woman will tell every secret except her age." Harold La Costa made a One, manly young farmer, with an impetuous temper, and afterwards a veteran soldier from the Philippines. Tho lovemaklng between him and Margaret Ryan (Augusta True) was refreshing In Its pathos and sincerity. Once, when La Costa returns In his uni form as a United Btates soldier, some one pointed to him, saying-. "You are a cow ard." Quick as a flash Sully said, "Cow ards do not wear that uniform." The sen timent was applauded to the echo. "The Old Mill Stream" will be tho attraction at tho Marquam this evening. Xeiv I.lcht on nn Old Story. Do you love your husband? Are you Jealous of him? Are you engaged? These are rather personal questions, yet they represent a kindly interest In your wel fare. Married women who lovo their hus bands, married women who love their hus bands and are Jealous of them, and young women who have not yet entered the blessed state of matrimony, should not fall to sec "Because She Loved Him So." This production deals with fce domestic life of a newly married couple, who are very much In lovo with each other, tho only rift In the valley of happiness being the young wife's Jealousy of her artist husband. This play Is truly "a Just Im age of human nature." This comedy la natural, laughable, simple, new, whole some and pretty., with a happy, good-na tured ending. This production will be on the boards at Baker's Theater all next week, commencing with Sunday matinee. Sale for "Lovers' Lane." The advance sole of seats will open to morrow (Friday) morning for "Lovers' Lane,"whJch will be the attraction at the Marquam Grand Theater next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, with a matinee Wednesday, we are to have the much-discussed Clyde Fitch comedy, "Lovers' Lane," which comes with the prestige of five months' acceptance in New YoTk. It is one of the productions of William A. Brady, who has found a fortune in It, as he did in "Way Down East," Its prosperity seems to be ground ed upon Its moral tone, its rustic charm and Its blending of "comedy with deft touches ot pathoa Its scenes aro laid in a small town In Massachusetts, and its quaint characters are typical. The orig inal company Is to be seen here. Sam Morris Coming to Cordrny's. David Warfleld's great success In "The Auctioneer" has set most of the theater going public talking. This style of char acter is somewhat new to the stage. The public Is not well acquainted with the East Sldo Hebrew. As a rule the Hebrew that one meets In every day life Is more of the happy. Jolly, good-natured fellow. It Is this latter character that Mr. Sam Morris presents in his new play, "The Peddler's Claim." "Mr. Morris opens- at Cord ray's Sunday matinee, March L for a four nights' engagement, Anna Held in "The Little Duchess." Anna Held, in "The Little Duchess," will be the attraction at the Marquam Grand Theater tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday nights, with a matinee Satur day. This is without a doubt one of the most gorgeous productions we have had this season. The advance sale of seats opened yesterday morning. The curtain will rise promptly at 8:03 o'clock both evenings of Miss Held's engagement and at 2:15 at the matinee. TEACHERS ASK MORE PAY Board of Education Receives Peti tions, and Decides to Borrow. Tho Board of Education last evening was confronted with a petition from all ot the grammar school teachers, asking for an Increase in pay. A delegation from South Portland put In a tearful plea tor an addition to the Homestead School building. A new schedule ot Janitors' wages was adopted, giving some relief to thesa school employes, whom the members consider poorly paid. City Superintendent Rlgler recommended additions to the North, Central and Stephens Schools. And on top of all these troubles, the "board decided to seek the ear of some charitable banker in which to whisper a gentle re quest lor a loan of 835,000. It was a matter of conjecture for some little time whether there would be a meet ing, but one by one three of the flvo mem bers of the board made their appearance. and at 8:30 Chairman Richard Williams called Messrs. Warren and Beach to or der. A committee with a petition from the South Portland Improvement Association being present, it was decided to listen to Its plea prior to entering upon the regu lar routine Dusiness. Mr. William "W. Gregory was the first to address the chair. He said: "Mr. Mid dleton and myself constitute a committee of two, appointed by the South Portland Improvement Association, tor the purpose of making a petition to the gentlemen of tills board to make a provision for an ad' dltion to the Portland Homestead School house. This school is very crowded at the present time, and the portable annex. aiso in use, is reauy unnt lor school nur poses. It is so small that a firo in the stove either makes it too hot, or no fire has the opposite effect. The additional rooms we now ask for are needed far more than the school building was at the time It was built. What we should have Is an addition of four rooms, and these could be easily filled with the present at tendance." John H. Mlddleton then took the .floor and 'addressed the board. "Mr. Gregory ana I some two days ago bad occa I slon to go through the building In ones- i uont in oraer uai we tnignt bus up the situation and lay It before this board. We know you have a great many serious demands of this nature, but the time has come when we must call your attention to this absolute necessity. Our rooms are at present overcrowded, in addition to the fact that our seventh, eighth and ninth grades are compelled to go to the Falling School, a distance of over a halt-mile fur ther than this, their own school. In one room we have three large classes, where there Is really room for only two. Our mission this evening Is at the direction ot the South Portland Improvement Associa tion, a league composed largely of the residents of this school district, and we trust you will Investigate this matter at your earliest convenience." Tho board decided to make the investigation as re quested, and so informed the visiting com mittee. A petition, signed by all the grammar grade teachers, requesting an advance In salary, was submitted. Chairman Will lams seemed buried In thought, "Will you hear It, gentlemen?" "If it is not too long," suggested R. K. Warren. , Director J. V. Beach advanced his opin ion that there could be little harm in listening to it, so the plea was read and placed on file for future reference. About 30 teachers excuses for absence from the teachers' meeting held January 7 were then read and accepted. Bills of the past month were ordered paid. As the school apportionment from the tax fund will not be forthcoming until April. It "was decided to borrow $35,000 to defray expenses to March 1. Director Warren reported for the Jan itors salary committee, and the following schedulo was adopted: Schools of one room. J10 per month: three-room building. 820; buildings containing from four to ten rooms, & additional for each and every room above four; High School 8100 per rnonth. TRe janitors compensations In our schools are really very low," remarked the chair. "I understand the Janitor of this City Hall building receives 8200 per month." "I think It Is 830." said Mr. Beach. "Likely It is now. since we have re form." laughed Mr. Williams. Superintendent of Schools Frank Rlcler then Informed the board that ho had cm ployed two more teachers to teach new classes organized at the Clinton Kelly and Holladay Schools. His election was ap proved. Chairman Williams Informed tho board that a teacher, newly employed, had asked ror tne maximum salary, and that he had promised to lay the matter before the board. Mr. Beach acted very nromptlr on this matter. "We have a schedule that calls for a minimum salary for all teachers dur ing the first year, and there Is no more senso In Jumping over our schedule than into the river." The board seemed to agree in this mat ter, and the schedule rates will bo fol lowed. Superintendent Rlgler suggested build ing additions of four rooms to both tho North Central and Stephens Schools. His suggestion will be considered, and tha necessity of such additions investigated. LECTURES AT A LODGE. Rev. G. H. Osborn Entertains Mem bers of A. O. V. W. Rev. G. H. Osborn gave an Interesting lecture list night before Upchurch Lodge, No. IK, A. O. U. W., in the lodge hall. Seventeenth and Marshall streets.
