'"I consider the present conditions
regarding the killing and the disposal
of meat in the City of Portland to be
highly -unsatisfactory. The meat sup
ply la not In any fit sanitary condition
for public consumption." Dr. Woods
Hutchinson, of the State Board of
Health.-
The effort- of a deserted wife to win
back her husband's love by presenting to
him Yier sister's babv as her own, and
The members of the Health Board of
the City of Portland yesterday took up
the matter of meat and milk Inspection,
and it is highly probable that it will rec
ommend to the Council two ordinances for
passage, which will materially better the
present conditions. According to the best
authorities on the subject, the meat and
milk supplies of the city are in a most
unsatisfactory shape, and the public
health is In great danger from diseases
arising from the consumption of diseased
and putrlficd meat.
Dr. Woods Hutchinson has taken the in
itiative in the matter, and he yesterday
appeared before the Health Board at Its
monthly meeting and spoke on the re
sults of his investigations. If all he told
of Is true, the members of the board
are of the opinion that it is high time to
bring to a stop the nefarious practices
which endanger the city's welfare.
Among other things Dr. Hutchinson told
of meat that was treated with preserva
tives, or "doped" to keep it longer, and
of putrlfled meat that was used in many
places for the making of sausage. He also
told of diseased meat shipped in from
the country, which was palmed off on the
unsuspecting public for the real Govern
ment Inspected article.
The culmination of the meeting was the
submission of two ordinances to the board
for consideration. These ordinances are
known as the Mulkcy meat and milk ordi
nances, and they have a history-
They were prepared and Introduced In
the Council several years ago by Council
man F. W. Mulkey. After several stormy
sessions the milk ordinance died on Its
second reading, and the meat ordinance
was passed and sent up to Mayor Rowe.
That official vetoed It on the ground that
there were sections in It which referred
to the milk ordinance, which was never
passed. The matter died there, until Dr.
Hutchinson took It up again this Winter.
"I consider the conditions of selling and
of slaughtering the meat that is used In
this city highly unsatisfactory," were the
words he used before the Health Board
yesterday morning at the City Hall. "I
have made careful Investigations on the
subject, and have discovered things
which should be attended to at once. I
have visited nearly all. If not all, the
larger shops that dispose of meat in the
city, and in nearly every one I have
discovered a quantity of. a stuff they call
"preservaline," or "freezallne," and by
other names. They sprinkle meat with
this powder, so they tell me, to keep off
flies, but It Is very evident that the prin
cipal use that It Is put to Is to conceal the
Indications of Incipient putrifaction of the
meat. Much of the meat that is so treated
Is made up into sausage, and there Is no
wonder that the Portland sausage Is
looked upon with discredit.
"I consider that all the sausage Is un
fit to eat for any human beings. It is
actually dangerous. I myself have been
poisoned by ptomalns resulting from It,
and I have no doubt that the members of
the board have also known of similar
case's.
"To Illustrate the effect of this preserva
line, and to show that It is used for the
purpose referred to above, I will state
that Dr. E. X. Hutchinson, of the "United
States Bureau of Animal Industry, took a
piece of the sausage that had been thor
oughly saturated with the stuff by the
butchers and laid It out on his table at
the Custom-House. It was so case hard
ened that, after lying there for three full
weeks, it wag not affected In any partic
ular. "The meat supply of the city Is not in
any lit sanitary condition, and the prin
cipal reason is that country meat is
shipped in here without ever being In
spected. The reason so much of the meat
that we use Is killed out of the city is
that it could never be killed in an Inspect
ed slaughter-house and be put on the
market if It were properly examined.
"Every Fall we have an epidemic of
cholera throughout the Willamette Valley
among the hogs. Contemporary with this
we have cases of severe intestinal trouble
among our people In the city, and in near
ly every case they can be traced to the
consumption of country killed pork.
"I earnestly hope that the two ordi
nances which I submit will be considered
and approved by the board. I have talked
over the subject with the members of
the Council, and I think I have a majority
of the members of that body In favor of
the passage of the ordinances when they
come up. It was openly stated that the
reason the meat ordinance was vetoed
before was the pressure brought by the
meat people, but I do not believe they
can ever influence our present Chief Ex
ecutive." Dr. William Jones, of the Health Board,
recommended that the board go slow.
"Maybe we can compromise with the
meat people, and there will be no danger
of the ordinances being defeated."
"If we are going to wait until we sat
isfy the butchers, we will wait till the
millennium," exclaimed Dr. Hutchinson.
"All the country meat that comes to the
city should come on foot, and then It can
bo killed In properly inspected slaughter
houses. They tell me It Is more profit
able for farmers. If tholr meat Is healthy,
to bring It In alive, but It Is generally
diseased, and they have to kill it outside
to dispose of It. Besides, a farmer's idea
of cleanliness Is rather limited anyway."
"The two ordinances suit me the way
they stnnd," said Dr. Saylor, another
member of the board.
"They seem very good," said Dr. Card
well, "and I would be In favor of going
over them at a special meeting of the
board."
It was then decided that thetwo ordi
nances should rest with the board, and
when two members call for a meeting
one will be held at which they will be
finally framed for the council.

"Why am I called Colonel?" he replied
to a question on this part of his titular
distinction. "Well, you see, I was com

of "77-8. I did some hard service in those
days, but I made everybody's glory ex
cept my own. You see, they called me

In the service. Those were hard times
then. Some people cemplain about hard

hard times are." Then the Colonel went 1 act;
Into a pipe-dream reverie of ye olden
days. When he was called upon to tell
what Washington would do for the Lewis
and Clark Fair, he said:
"We want to be sure first what the la
bor unions are going to do. We. can go
fuTTsh them an onDortunity to ex
ercise their skill. She vowed that she :
would murder the landlady and then take
her own life.
The beginning of the story was in
Spokane. Wash. A Mr. and Mrs. Ar
nold lived happily together until the hus
band learned that his wife could never
become a mother. It was the one desire
of his life to hold a child of his own
upon his knee, and he deserted his wife,
making her condition an excuse for the j
Mrs. Arnold, distressed over the affair.
came to Portland. While here she t
planned to agreeably surprise her hus- i
band and restore their happiness. A sis- j
ter who had lived In Denver had many
children. She was very poor and often
among our public-spirited men and get j wondered how' she could support the
them to guarantee a certain sum of mon
ey from the Legislature for the Exposi-
tion, but we will not do it If labor unions
; are going to extort the money out of us.
1 We want an understanding In this matter !
1 with the unions. L for one, will not put !
! up any of my dearly-earned money to
support walking delegates, "Whose function
will be to make trouble for the Fair. I
will not put up money to pay men for
their idleness during a strike. This Ex
' position is as much in the interest of la
j bor as of capital. I should say that la
bor will profit more than will capital.
! Nearly all the money expended will go to
labor.
"The managers of the Exposition and
the unions should have an understanding
such as I have just mentioned. The re
sources of the Fair are limited. What
ever the managers undertake to do they
will have to know how much money it
will cost.
"I noted a few days ago an interview
with Van B. De Lashmutt in your paper.
Mr. De Lashmutt said he could get cit
izens of Washington to guarantee 550.000
or 5100,000 for the Fair. I do not think
he could obtain that much money, but I
do think he could raise sufficient funds
wherewith to construct a building. The
Legislature wjll meet in January, 1905,
and can then appropriate money for a
Washington exhibit. Much of the dis
play at St. Louis can be used at Port
land." The Colonel remarked that Governor
McBrlde was not hostile to tho Fair. The
Governor had vetoed a bill containing an
appropriation for the Fair, "but." said
Colonel Parker, "the state didn't have
the money, and that's all there was to It."
Colonel Parker said that citizens In his
part of the country did not take much
Interest In the portage railroad which Ore
gon is about to build above The Dalles.
"There's very little enthusiasm over it up
our way." said he. "They look upon It as
a scheme to give officeholders and others
a chance to get something. The project
isn't so much to benefit the interior coun
try as to bring the railroads to time.
That's the way with lots of people: they
don't expect to benefit themselves by go
ing after the other fellow; only to bring
him to time."
The Colonel didn't look favorably on
any portage scheme, Paul Mohr road or
other. "You can float your scows down
stream readily enough," said he, "but
you've got to pull 'em back against the
current empty. That's where the money
will go, Instead of into the pockets of
farmers. There's the . Mississippi River,
far e-sler of navigation than" tho Colum
bia, but the railroads haul the corn of
the Middle West.
"Some years back," went on the Colo
nel, reverting to ancient history, "In the
days of "Vlllard, the people up our way
took up with portage schemes, or any
other scheme that promised 'cheaper trans
portation. That's when they said to Vll
lard If he could reduce the freight tariff
from Walla to Portland to ?S per ton, tney
would be satisfied, and would never want
it any lower. Now It's down to H.
"It looks to me as If there would be
pretty high water In the Columbia this
season; not so high as in 1B94. but higher
than usual. There's a great deal of snow
In the mountains which drain off into the

not rise very high; It's the northern tri
hiitnriea of mo Columbia that will do
so."
SALE OF SEATS.
Box Office for Splcrlnj? Quartet Will
Open Tomorrow.
The Splerlng Quartet, which is booked
for the Marquam Thursday night, June
4, has been playing to crowded houses,
such as would do honor to an opera prima
donna, in Music Hall, Fine Arts Build
ing. Chicago. The Chicago Journal of
March 1L 1903, says:
"The concert of the Splerlng Quartet
last night at the Music Hall was' the
most successful of a brilliant series.
Mr. Splering's fortunate union of inter
est with the Chicago Musical College
has not only brought him crowded houses
but has given him the collaboration of
some very able artists. The audience
which gathered last night for the last
chamber music evening of the season
was large and Intelligent, and It in
cluded almost every prominent musician
of the city.
"The latter were doubtless especially
attracted by the last number of the pro-
FIRE IN PAINT FACTORY.
Prompt Action of Firemen Prevents
Serious Dlnze.
The fire department was kept busy
fer half an hour last night preventing the
large plant of Fisher, Thorsen & Co., at
First and Morrison streets, from destruc
tion by fire.
The blaze was started by spontaneous
combustion In a large oil vat on the mix
ing floor.. On the floor above, a large
quantity of paints and oils was stored and
it looked for a time as If the flames
would reach them.
Chemical Engine No. 2 was the first to
play a'strcam upon the fire and soon had
It under control. The machinery and
larire family. The youngest child was
but two weeks old, and Mrs. Arnold
knew that her sister would readily give
the baby into her charge. A letter was
written, and Friday morning a telegram I
was received saying that the would arrive j
Saturday. .
Mrs. Arnold had rooms at a lodging- !
house at 203 Market street, for which
she was paying 51.50 per week. As soon
as she received the telegram she went
to bed, complaining of a tumor, and sent
for Dr. William Elsen. Dr. Elsen did
not know what was wanted, but hurried
to the house.
Could "Sot Fool Doctor.
"You're too late. Doctor," was her
cheerful greeting. "It's all over." The
doctor looked about the room. She had
carried out the deception as far as she
was able, and everything indicated to
the doctor that a child had been born.
"Where is the little one?" he asked.
"I have sent it to my sister," she re
plied. "I'm' so glad it Is over. But as
long as you are here I would like to have
you make a certificate of the birth.
I'll pay you well for your trouble."
Dr. Elsen then questioned her further,
and soon became convinced that some
thing was wrong. By further Investiga
tion of the circumstances he convinced
himself that no child had been born,
and told the woman so.
"But you won't give it away, doctor."
she pleaded. Then It was that she told
her trouble to the doctor, and explained
to him that. If she could give the child
to her husband as his own all would be
well again.
"I did not see fit to frustrate her plan
of restoring happiness in the family,"
said the doctor In speaking of the matter
to a reporter yesterday, "so I told her
that I would do all thatl could to help
her in the matter. I would not sign a
certificate of birth, but was willing to
keep the secret and let her carry out
her plan. It was really a good plan.
The husband could not have come down
for at least a month, and by that time
he could not have told whether the baby
was four weeks old or six weeks old,
and could have easily believed her story."
Landlady nnd Police Meddle.
"But for the landlady," and the doc
tor's face wore a look of disgust as he
spoke of the unpleasant episode, "It
would have all worked out well. She
was afraid she would not make all the
money there was to be made and frus
trated the whole thing. She came rush
ing in and demanded that the woman
(pay her 54 a day for the use of the
room. -The woman protested and tho
landlady rushed to the phone and called
up the police station. She asked for the
whole forco and for tho patrol wagon,
saying that a murder had been com
mitted In her hause."
The doctor Is far from pleased with
the action of the police In the matter,
and Insists that they are more active
where they have no business than where
their business calls them.
"I told them that no murder had been
committed and that everything was all
right," he said, "but they were not will
ing to let It go at that. The next day
Dr. Biersdorf. the health officer, and a
policeman came to my office and de
manded that I produce the baby.
"Now, the baby had not arrived from
Denver yet, so I could not produce it
just yet. I did not see why the health
officer should be sent around to Invest!
gate alleged murders. I thought the
Chief of Police should have some officers
whose duty It was to attend to such
cases, so I did not talk to them very
pleasantly. In fact, I told them that
they could keep the alleyways clean but
that it was none of their business if I
had sent the baby to Japan. Before
they left I told them that no baby had
been born and that they were making
themselves ridiculous, and they were
glad to apologise and go their way."
Womnn Attempts Suicide.
Yesterday came tho climax of the
story, when the woman, discouraged be
cause her plan had been exposed by
the diligence of the police In sifting
family affairs, tried to take her own
life.
Two scars on her breast showing
where two bullets had entered at a pre
vious attempt to take her own life, con
vinced the police that she should be cared
for. They had- no charge against her.
but took her to the station, as they
expressed It, "Just to talk to her." But
There's nothing quite so good for a worthy business as comparison.

closing of Schools.
County Superintendent Robinson Is
Kept Busy In Country.
County School Superintendent Robin
son will be particularly engaged this week
in attending closing exercises of schools.
The closing exercises at Grcsham will be
held Thursday evening, when 16 pupils
will be promoted to the High School.
The total number of pupils enrolled at
Gresham School during the past year was
169. There are already ten High School
pupils there and the number will now
be Increased to 26. It Is proposed to es
tablish a High School there for Gresham
and adjoining districts.
The schools of Rockwood District and
District No. 2S will unite In a closing
exercls'e In the schoolhouse In District
28 next Friday evening. There will be
no promotions to the High School from
these districts. Closing exercises will be
held In District No. 13, west of this city,
where there is a two-room building, the
latter part of this week. There will be
four promotions to the High School In
this district.
Superintendent Robinson will make it a
point to attend all three of these closing
exercises. Several other such exercises
which take place at the same time he
will not be able to attend. There will
be some ten schools still running in this
county after this week outside- of those
operated on the regular ten-months sys
tem, the terms of which have been in
terrupted by local conditions which made
a different calendar schedule necessary.
At Palmer there was no school during
the Winter for the reason that the town,
which was destroyed by the forest fires
last summer, was being rebuilt.
On Sauvie's Island there are no schools
In the winter, but Just whether this is
caused by the difficulty of getting from
one point to another or because parents,
pupils and teachers all want to go wild
duck hunting, Is not known.

.SUBSCRIPTIONS.
Cases From All Oregon and Part of
"Washington Drift Here.
The Health Board yesterday attended to
Its regular monthly business of -auditing
bills and receiving reports from the
health officer and from the city physician.
Dr. Zan reported that there had been
some 22 cases of smallpox In the City
Quarantine Hospital, 13 of whom had been
discharged, and one had died, leaving IS
patients. He also reported having vac
cinated between 500 and 600 people during
the month.
Dr. Woods Hutchinson, of the State
Health Board, was present and talked on
the mallpox out of town. He said that
Portland was the catchbasin for all the
state and part of Washington for small
pox cases, and he would like to see the
cases traced up to where they started
from.
A neighborly row "between one Schotz
and a next-door resident at Mississippi
the i avenue and Mason street was airtd before
the board. It seems the neighbor appro
priated a sewer connection that was al
leged to belong to Schotz, and. hence the
fuss. It seemed to be beyond the juris
diction of ' the board, and the' case was
passed on .without any action.
Committee on Celebration Decides
on Fireworks Display Will Adopt
Programme Thursday.
That Portland will have a celebration of
the Fourth of July equal In splendor to
any the city has ever held was made evi
dent by reports of the committees which
have been soliciting subscriptions to the
fund, made at the meeting of the general
committee In charge of the celebration at
the .Commercial Clubrooms last night.
There was a large attendance with Gen
eral O. Summers in the chair, and all were
enthusiastic for a fitting observance of the
greatest National holiday.
Of the eight soliciting committees, five
made reports, showing that they had
raised an aggregate of 52593, and estimates
show a total of at least $3500 will be
raised; in fact, the amount may reach
$1000. Despite the numerous other calls
for funds which have been made on them
recently, the banks, corporations, depart
ment stores and street railways have sub
scribed more than they gave last year,
and the merchants In general have given
liberally.
The finance commltiee will report as a
whole at another meeting on Thursday
evening, and then Chairman Summers will
.appoint the other committees to carry out
the plan already outlined, with the addi
tion of a display of fireworks on a grand
scale, there having been a general demand
for this feature. The other subjects on
which committees will be appointed are:
Sports, amusements, music, parade and
literary exercises.
In order to satisfy the general demand
for a pyrotechnic display. It was decided
that General Summers should appoint a
committee of five on fireworks today, that
It may Immediately get to work. In this
connection Andrew Kan made a plea for
home industry In buying fireworks, stat
ing that his connections enabled him. to do
as well as any firm In New York, and that
he had a large stock already.
The committee requests that the remain
ing soliciting committees will complete
their work without delay in order that it
may know at the next meeting how much
money it has at its disposal and may Im-
mediately adopt a programme and proceed
with its preparations..
