Re ports from the lower Columbia are to the effect that salmon are still scarce. and very backward about coming for- ward. Fishermen are, however, not fret ting, for the situation has been the same for several years past, and still when the salmon do come they come In such swarms that it was lmposslblo to take care of all of them, and it is expected that the same will happen this season. The early run of salmon appears to grow smaller every year. It may be, as some think, because the arly run is so close ly caught and exterminated that very few of them ever reach the spawning beds. If this theory is correct and the practice is kept up, thre will soon be no early run of salmon, and the fishing season can be cut down to accommodate the late run. Shad continue to be plentiful and of excellent quality and many are marketed in this city, where this excellent fish is growing in favor year by year. The demanci from country towns is not, however, so large as might be expected, especially from towns In regions largely settled by people from Missouri and other "Western states, who have not been accus tomed to eat this fish. There the de mand is for catfish, and more catfish, and it is practically impossible to obtain enough catfish here to supply the demand, and the catfish are becoming scarcer and it is feared will soon be exterminated. In that event, the eaters of fresh-water fish will have to fall back on carp, which are larger and more plentiful, and are really as good as catfish to those who like them, and large quantities of them ere now sold in many Eastern cities.

A party of men who have been out in the woods for several days hunting for homestead claims returned to the city yesterday. Their faces were sunburned and their noses blistered from the reflec tion of the sun on the snow in the moun tains where they were searching for land to suit them. They did not stay long enough to find any, for they had no Idea of eleeplng out on the snow without any coat, as President Roosevelt did In the National Park. "When asked If they thought there was snow enough lii" the mountains to make a flood In the streets of Portland this season, they seemed in clined to think there was snow enough to flood all creation, but were doubtful about enough continuous hot weather coming to melt it off in a hurry, and think it will stay on all Summer If pres ent weather lasta. His Safe Wouldn't Open. A city offi cial, who handles considerable money every day in the transaction of his busi ness, was met by a reporter yesterday morning racing downtown at the top of his speed. "When asked what was the matter, he said he was going to get some money to do business with. "When asked to explain, he paid that when he put the money In his office In the vault Saturday he set the time lock to open the door on Monday. The door opened at the proper time Monday and business went on all day as usual, but he forgot to adjust the time lock. Yesterday morning the door of the vault could not be opened, and he had no money to do business with until he could get to the bank and back. Signing Refunding Bonds. City Audi tor Devlin was endeavoring to And time yesterday between attending to numerous callers to sign refunding bonds to the amount of $56,500, running for 25 years at 4 per cent. These are Issued by the city to take the place of C per cent bonds. which were issued in May, 189L to refund other bonds, which had been Issued to refund others, etc. As soon as he was through, the Mayor was ready to sign them, and then the seal of the city was to be affixed and the bonds were then to be delivered to the purchasers and the money received for them to be turned over to pay the bonds to be refunded. Money is of little value unless it can be kept moving and earning something. Sham Battle Friday. The attention of the public is directed to the sham battle to be given Friday night at the Portland Baseball grounds. The fact that it had to be postponed has only added to the Interest taken in the event and, judging from the sale of tickets, the field will be crowded with interested spectators. If such is the case, a handsome sum will be realized for the Rlvervlew and Lone Fir Monument Associations.

There was despair yesterday among certain young men around town, who have at tended Baker's Theater all season, be cause a cruel rumor spread that Miss Elsie Esmond arid Robert Slddle, re cently members of the Baker Theater Company, and now playing with the Nelll-Morosco Company at Los Angeles, were married in that city last Sunday. "When Miss Esmond left Baker's Theater for Seattle several young men left be hind were inconsolable for a long time afterward, and each one hoped that he was the lucky one to win Miss Esmond's regard to the exclusion of all else. So, when the rumor spread among the the atrical colony here that Miss Esmond had become Mrs. Slddle, several of the Esmond worshipers felt lite the young man who bravely faces a star pitcher, and distinguishes himself by fanning the air three times in succession. Somebody In the crowd of anguish-stricken ones managed to raise up enough to telegraph to Los Angeles asking if the rumor was true. This reply was received- late last night from a Ios 'Angeles correspondent: Elsie Esmond and Robert Slddle. seen at Burbank Theater tonight in 'Hearts Afjame,' deny individually and jointly that they are married or even sweethearts, though very good friends. Manager and members of company treat reported mar riage as a Joke." Who Pays Saloon License Finally? A man who has lately fitted up a saloon desires to open It Saturday evening, but. as a new quarter will begin June L does not wish to pay a month's license for Saturday evening's business. He was en deavoring to get a permit to operate Sat urday evnlng and take out his license on Monday, offering to give a bond for his good conduct till that time. A man who was of the opinion that this would hardly be doing the city Justice was told that saloons cut rather an important figure In raising the city's Income, as they pay for licenses about $124,000 a year and. If the taxpayers were obliged to pay this amount In addition to the regular taxes, they would complain. To this he replied that "the people" in the end paid the $124,000 beside paying taxes, but that prob ably the greater part of It was paid by people most of whom paid little or no taxes and some of whom were strangers and visitors to the city. It is probable that the license will not be issued till June 1, as all saloon-keepers are allowed ten days' grace at the "beginning of each quarter in which to pay their licenses.

The repair gang employed by the city to keep worn streets in order has Just completed a very good Job on Schuyler street. This street was improved some years ago with gravel and had become pretty well worn and out of shape, as gravel under the pressure of traffic has a tendency to work toward the curbs, fill the gutters and leave the middle of the street lower than it ought to be. At small expense Schuyler street from East First to East Twenty-fourth, has been redressed and leveled up and put in good shape till It looks like a new street. This shows what can be done in the way of keeping streets in order by taking them in hand in time. The street repair gang may now be considered a permanently employed force and will be a great benefit to the city. Baseball Today 3:30. Baseball Today 3:30. Baseball Today 3:30.

"Columbus Letzte Nacnt"...W. Sturm Like mine host who always kept the best wine until the last the Portland Arlon Society finished the Beason of 1302 03 by giving a concert In the Arlon Hall last night and it was the best of the present series and the most ambitious effort in -which the Arions have engaged for a long time. The heaviest number In the programme was Wllhelm Sturm's cantata "Columbus' LasfNlght In which Paul Wessinger, baritone, was Columbus, and the Arions were the crew. It is a dramatic and stirring composition. The composer describes the period In the voy age of Columbus when his sailors almost mutiny because they despair in ever sighting land. The chorda tell of woe and anger, and then suddenly the motif Is changed to one of Joyfulness when the new continent first appears on their hori zon. The score made heavy demands upon the baritone soloist In the upper register, but Mr. Wesslngor was equal to all the demands. He never sang with a better tone, or more volume. His phras ing was a delight The chorus acquitted themselves nobly In tackling a work of such difficulty and their mterpretlon was excellent Four other numbers were sung by the chorus. "Es steht elne LInd" was a favor ite number, because of Its pastoral effect and study In pianissimo. Splckers "Im Grase thalt's" received a vigorous rend eringf and brought out the fine work of a new tenor soioisr, Jiax ueaing, wno came to this city about five months ago from Honolulu to study American bus! ness methods. He displayed a strong. healthy first-tenor voice, and is a welcome addition to the city's tenor voices. He sang with dramatic Intensity. The efficient and popular conductor of the society. Louis Dammasch, had his forces well In hand, and much of the success of the concert Is due to his hard work. Miss Ethel M. Lytle was the soprano soloist, and she quickly sang herself into favor. She recently made her debut In singing the soprano role in Massenet's ora torlo "Mary Magdalen." Last night her voice easily filled the hall, and she Is to be commended on her style of singing. She sang with a steady, even tone, which Is welcome In these days when so many singers think they must sing with an ever present tremolo, In order to sing effectively. Miss Lytle met with a cordial reception, and her two encores were Homer Bartlett's "Elaine," and the dainty. numorous supposing." Mrs. Sherman D, Brown was the vlollnlste, and her artistic treatment of the Rles number was one of the pleasures of the evening. She dis played an amazing wealth of tone, and her bowing was as graceful as ever. She also was encored. Miss Pearl Scott was accompanist and was satisfactory. The audience was a large and deeply interested one. It is a great pleasure to record that the Arions are singing better than ever. They have done good work this season. ana it is to be hoped that they will be stimulated to even better efforts this FalL SEW VAUDEVILLE CIRCUIT.

In the Northwest vaudeville circuit, the otner two cities Deing st Paul and Mln neapolls. As the other cities of this sec tion Increase in size they may be added to we circuit also. This means the practical entering of the Orpheum circuit Into this section, but it does not mean that all of the Orpheum attractions will come here at first It la in the nature of an experiment and at first popular prices will be charged. If the venture Is found to be a paying one and the cities show that they want this kind of vaudeville, then the prices will be ranged to the Orpheum standard, and ine wnoie nsi oi attractions will come here from the California cities now on the circuit John Cort of Seattle, and Calvin HelHg and George L.

If present plans go through the new building will be ready by October. In the meantime a temporary theater 13 to be built on the old Yesler block, re cently bought by the County Commls sloners as a site for the new Courthouse.

It Is proposed to open the Empire at Portland June 15, and the tem porary theater here June 21. A Beantlfnl Story. "Fernclltf" is indeed-a remarkable play. Aside from pathos and sentiment it has a sprinkling of comedy throughout the entire four acts that Is delightful. The stage settings are In keeping with the play, and the performance is delight fuL Although there Is missing the roar of the cannon, the firing of musketry or the waving of the American flag, the audience can't help but recall memories of the Civil War. "Ferncllff will run for the remainder of the week at the Baker, with a matinee Saturday. Shields' Vandeville.

JOINT MEETING FRIDAY. Fair Directors and Commissioners Name Day. A Joint meeting of the board of direct ors of the Lewis and Clark Fair and the State Commission will be held at 2 P. M. Friday, immediately following the organization of the State Commission. The organization to be effected at 1 P. M. Friday. This meeting between the directors and the State Commission will probably re sult In a decision to order the commence ment of work upon the Exposition grounds early In June, probably some time next week. That at least. Is the expectation of some of the directors who are familiar with the situation. By the time the directors and State Commission meet the plat of the grounds, prepared under the direction of Engineer Oskar Huber, will have been completed In the modelroom at the Exposition headquarters. This will ena'bte both the directors and commissioners to gain a comprehensive Idea of the scope of the work that Is proposed. The platform upon which the model is to stand was completed yesterday and workmen began placing the model Its.elf in position. As yet 'nothing save the ground plan Is shown, but this is sufficient for the present needs. Engineer Huber has his plans for the commencement of work at the grounds well in hand and is able to proceed when ever he secures authority from the dl dectors. Arrangements could be com pleted Immediately for commencing grad ing next week, if it were deemed advisa ble. It Is likely the date for the closing of the competitive design contest will be extended another month. While the com mitted in charge of this detail has not formally announced such a decision, there Is reason for the belief that It Is felt the time Is not sufficient to give all com petitors a chance to complete their work. A letter has been received by the offi cers of the Exposition stating that a de sign would be submitted by Raphael L. Beck, of Buffalo, and a sealed package from him probably enclosed his design. Mr. Beck-Is the artist who won the com petition at Buffalo and who also suc ceeded in defeating all other competitors at St Louis. The prize offered for the Buffalo design was $1000 and Mr. Beck was paid twice that sum for his hand some design for the St Louis Fair. SCHOOL FOR INDIANS. Fayallap Task Undertaken by the Government I a targe One. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. May 23. The Indian Office has taken up the task of Improving the In dian School at Puyallup. A report re cently submitted By the Supervisor of Construction, after spending three weeks at the Tacoma School, shows many of the buildings to be in a dilapidated con dition, so far gone that they -must be demolished! Others, with extensive re pairs, can be made to do service for a while longer, but as he says, the plant will not be modernized with the ex penditure of $30,000 which Is to be made. All the buildings are frame, and being heated by stoves and lighted by oil lamps. are In constant danger of destruction by fire. In general, steam heat Is to be In stalled, and electric lighting or gas is to take the place of lamps. Following out suggestions of the super visor; the Indian Office Is now at work on plans for a new three-room school build ing, which will accommodate the full 150 pupils, the capacity of the Puyallup bcnooi. Plans are also being prepared for remodelling a number of buildings. enlarging otners, ana generally rear ranging the grounds and buildings. New buildings, all to be of frame, are to be built, under contract The work of re pair will be done by the employes of the school assisted by some hired labor and the larger boys of the school, this course being resorted to because of the saying in expense.

People who complain of falling- hair as a rule do not know that It Is the result of dandruff, which Is caused by a pestif erous parasite burrowing up the scalp as It digs down to the sheath In which the hair Is fed In the scalp. Before long the hair root Is shriveled up and the hair drops out. If the work of the germ Is not destroyed hair keeps thinning till baldness comes. The only way to cure dandruff Is to kill the germ, and until now there has been no hair preparation that would do It: but today dandruff Is easily eradicated by Newbro's Herplcide, which makes hair glossy and soft as silk.
