Cheap Feed fob Chicxksi. A man furnished -with several small sacks of samples of the grain damaged In the Ore at Victoria dock was seeking customers among the city officials yesterday, having learned that some of them maintain small chicken ranches. He was offering the soaked and smoked wheat and carter for from 3D to 0 cents per cental sacked. One official said he had been paying J130 per sack for wheat for his chickens, which he considered an excessive price; but he was a little afraid that the damaged grain might not suit them, although the price suited him. The seller said some had bought a ton of the stuff for feeding chickens, as It cost them only about IS cents per bushel, socks and all. The grain has been recovered from the wreck of the dock, and run through a dryer and cleaned up at the rate of about 200 tons per day, and several persons have been making good wages by taking loads of It out Into the suburbs and selling It to peo ple having chicken ranches. Some have found It entirely satisfactory, while oth ers Imagine that the wheat smells of cre osote from the smoke It went tnrougn. and so Is not wholesome for chickens. The person who was selling it by sam ple raid there was not likely to be any more saved, as the water was now so deep over It. There has, however, been enough taken out to feed all the chickens In the country for a long time. Foot Mat Fbolic Todat. The 1st day of Axrll has arrived, and March storms will give place to April showers. The day Is always noted In the almanacs as Ail Fools' Day." from the fact that It Is a custom with many to perpetrate practical jokes and deceptions on that day. Just how this custom arose has proDaoiy oeen forgotten. If any one ever knew, but it has been perpetuated by force of habit. It Is a question In the minds of many whether the name of the day refers to the number of persons who perpetrate prac tical Jokes and deceptions or to those who are fooled by them. This will, however, have no effect on doing away with the custom as long as the almanacs give the dav as "All Pools' Day." Almanacs with weather forecasts for the whole year in advance are going out or use, since uie Government has employed forecast offi cials, authorized to make fresh forecasts dally. Portland once boasted an almanac, published by Stephen J. McCormlck, a pioneer bookseller and stationer, and old timers Insist that he furnished better weather than the Government officials now purvey. Spikes Most Bb Pulled Out or Tim bers. Contractors who undertake the re pairing of bridges and elevated roadways have been In the habit of tearing off wornout or decayed planks, and the long spikes bent In this process have then been beaten down flat Into the timbers. An inspector who has been looking into this matter has concluded that the timbers Into which tbo spikes are thus flattened soon decay, and he Intends to Insist on the spikes being pulled out In the future, unless they can be driven straight In. There is an opportunity for him to try his theory- on the Union-avenue bridge. between East Oak and East Morrison streets, and he proposes to have a test made. Contractors say It will be much more work to draw out the spikes, espe cially crooked ones, than to mash them Into the timbers out of the way of the new flooring. It may be that the timbers would last longer If the spikes were driv en straight in or pulled out. but the chances are that when a bridge has reached a stage requiring such repairs the timbers are about ready to decay, anyway. Cocktt WAnRANTS Redeemed. Brok ers who have been dealing In county war rants have been bearing that the large amount of warrants paid by County Treasurer Lewis of late will affect their business, as It Indicates that warrants will not be allowed to pay Interest so long in the future. Mr. Lewis has paid off more warrants during the past month than were ever taken up In a month be fore, but the money all came In In a lump, and Is going out the same way. He" has paid out about JHO.O00 on general war rants that have been outstanding for a year or more, and has also taken up to date about 3(9,000 of.road warrants. There was a large Indebtedness to start In with, and. although so many warrants have been called in, there are still a good many outstanding. The county Is less than 11 months behind In general fund warrants Mr. Lewis thinks the county will be able to reduce its indebtedness this year by keeping within the levy, which can be done unless some extraordinary expense comes up, as the burning of brldses or something of that kind. Swauuows Trt to Make a Summer. A member of the John Burroughs Society, who has been watching for the arrival of birds, says quail were piping and grouse pooling In the timber on the hills west of the city Sunday. He heard several fine old .hooters" in the Macleay Park, and was sorry to see several boys out In the brush with toy guns quite capable of kill ing any birds they might come across. He has been watching particularly for the arrival of swallows, but saw none until yesterdty morning, when he discovered some half-doien darting about with an energy which seemed to Indicate that the Insects on which they feed were not plentiful. He Is aware that "one swallow does not make Summer." but thinks half a dozen la a fair start In that direction. He has about given up looking for the grosbeaks which usually visit the city at this season, and thinks they will not come here this year. House Blew Over. J. K. Kelly, who was Injured by the falling of a house Monday afternoon. Is In a very critical condition at the Good Samaritan Hos pital. Tho doctors stated last night that his chances of recovery were not good. Kelly lives at ESS Pettygrove street.

Kelly was thrown a distance of about 30 feet to the ground, and struck on his face. He was taken to the hospital In an Insensible condition, and has not yet recovered consciousness.

Mrs. Sheldon's numbers were admirably selected, and were sung charmingly. The pink gown she wore, of apple-blossom daintiness, seemed In harmony with the fresh beauty of her tones, and each of her songs was enthusiastically received. One of the most attractive of Mrs. She! don's numbers was "You and L" a sim ple little song sung to a child, but very satisfying In its arch sweetness. Mrs. Sheldon's encore selection was "Violets' (Ellen Wright). The Haydn numbers, with their grave. hymn-like beauty, and the Schubert num bers, of grave and tender beauty, were rendered In the masterly manner charac teristic of the Hldden-Coursen quartet.

At the Symphony Concert Thursday evening, April 2, at the Marquam. Interest will naturally center in tne "ocotcn symphony of Mendelssohn. It was while Mendelssohn was traveling through Scot land that he caueht the Inspiration for both this symphony and the "Hebrides' overture. In the chapel of the Holyrood Palace, be said he found the beginning of the symphony, and right then-he wrote down the first 15 bars of the introduction. This passage recurs at the end of the Srst movement, and really forms the motto of the work. It was dedicated to Queen Vic toria and first performed In March, 1S12, at Leipzig, under the baton of tne com poser, amid great enthusiasm. Although written In strict symphony form. It will be played without separating the move ments. This Is as Mendelssohn wished and thus he tells the continuous story of his lmDrcssIons of Scotland. Mr. Wea singer will sing three numbers "Ich llebe dlch." Grieg; "Sttlle Slcherheit,' Franz: and "Ich grolle nlcht," Schumann.

CHICAGO THEIR WAGES ADVANCED XORTHERX PACIFIC KXPRESSStEX GET 20 PER CENT INCREASE. Under New Scale Messengers Will Receive $05 to 3)100 m Month. The Northern PadtflcVExcresa Company has granted an Increase of 10 per cent in wages to the men in its employ. This Increase will be shown La the pay checks issued to the employes of the department at the end or the present month. More than lao men. are affected by the advance In wages granted by the express company. The average wages paid to ex press messengers Is not more than 390 per month under the old system, and a urge number of the company employes were paid $35. Under the new wage scale most of the express messengers will re ceive from SS5 to 2100 per month, and tne helpers will be graded according to the Importance of their costs. The railway mall clerks on the same di vision are rated much higher by the Gov- eminent officials, the salaries running from 11200 to fiX per annum. The In crease granted to the express messengers will almost equalize the wages between the two branches of the service, which are similar In the work that Is done. There had been no demand made by the expressmen and their assistants for -an Increase of wages, and the action of the Northern Pacific Express Company was enure ly voluntary. "The business of the express company during the past few months and the indi cations for the future tend to show that the work of tbe express messengers end their helpers Is Increasing rapidly, said Superintendent Hall yesterday. "The busi ness of the company has steadily increased for several years. The business Con dlttons of the country tributary to the line have Improved, and every Indication we can receive Is favorable to a. general Increase In business. This will Justify an Increase in the salaries of the express messengers and helpers. "The announcement of the general In crease was made to the men without any request for a revision of the wage scale. The company simply decided that the Im proved business conditions warranted the advance and granted It. I am glad this order was Issued, for I have felt, person ally, that the express messengers were entitled to tho Increase. I am sure they" will appreciate the order."
