Wild Beabts on Wat to Portland. California papers have been boasting about the enterprise or some jaie In that state who brought on ourang-outang all the way from Philadelphia. Specimens of this animal are rather rare In this coun try, as they are short lived here, and they are always a great attraction for a me- nugaxje or circus, as everybody wants to see an animal which so closelv resemhiM man, which goes to show that "wfi aw very little changed from the semi-apes tnai rangtu India's prehistoric clay." Portland Is soon to be thp -nnrt nr onrn for wild beasts imported into this country. Two ourang-outangs have been brought "ere wumn xne past year by F. Btuhr, a dealer in birds, one of irhioVi n mid tn Wilson's circus and the other to Ring lings'. He orders them from Borneo, by way of Hong Kong, and they are brought across on the O. K. & N. liners. This Is tne most direct route for such animals .to COme tO Amerif-IL nnrt Dinro iro nnir nr: dered and to arrive In the Spring four ruyai jaengai tigers, a lot of leopards, monkeys of various -kinds, and some beau tiful large snakes. The O. R. &. N. Co. furnishes special facilities for the trans portation of such animals, and It Is ex pected that before long there will be an entreport for wild beasts established here, through which will pass all the animals for all the menageries in the United States. It Is to be hoped that it will be made secure, so that none of the animals will escape, especially snakes. To many in Portland who have been buck ing the Oregon tiger for years the royal Bengal animal has no terrors, but all are afraid of snakes, especially of the kind which insinuate themselves into people's boots. Pendleton Man Imports Soil. The soil and climate of Oregon are celebrated the world over as the best Of their kind, and now the time has arrived when there is a demand for the soil abroad and a ship ment is to be exported. There is no cli mate to spare, or It would soon be all gone. The first shipment of soil is being made to Pendleton to order of S. H. ForshaW, formerly a reporter on The Ore gonian, but now city editor of the Pendle ton Tribune. Like most of the capitalists of Portland, he has a love for agricul ture and horticulture, and has been run ning a greenhouse as a side issue for some time, with great success. He finds that the soil around Pendleton Is too light, lacking some of the qualities of weight and fertility of the soil of the Willamette Valley. He has therefore secured a car load of soil In the vicinity of Troutdale, to be used on his garden. Next time he will try a carload from the Red Hills of Marion County, and next may sample the soil of old Yamhill. If this exportation of soil Is carried on to a large extent it may become necessary to enact laws to limit it, or by and by the residents of the Willamette Valley will be wondering where they are at. If the people of East ern Oregon and Washington would take steps to retain at home the millions of tons of their soil washed down by the Columbia yearly, and used In making ob structions to navigation and causing the building of jetties at the mouth of that river necessary, they would have dirt to sell. The Leaning Tower op Portland. Mention was made of the condition of the tower supporting the big fire bell on Fourth street a short time ago. It has taken a lean to leeward, and seems In clined to emulate the celebrated leaning tower of Pisa. Its slant Is plainly per ceptible to -any one whose head Is not out of perpendicular. The mention called the attention of the authorities to the condi tion of the tower, and now it is to be straightened up. City Engineer Elliott has Inspected the structure and finds that the timbers are all sound and that the lean is caused by some of the braces In side having been pushed a little out of place, probably by the settling of the foundations on one side. He will have a lot of long lateral braces put in and the tower made straight. He thinks nny set tling of the foundations is due to the weight of the bell, which Is 4000 pounds. He will ask to have the wires detached while men are at work on the top of the tower, as he says the jar made by the bell if an alarm were turned in while the men were on top of It would knock them off, and probably burst the tympani In their ears. Bartender Raises Disturbance. With his face bleeding from a score of cuts and bruises, J. Brown, a fashionable bartender well known about town, was taken to the police station from the Winter Gar den cafe last evening. He went to the cafe and began to make a disturbance. When Greene, one of the proprietors, tried to quiet him he cursed every one in sight. A call was sent In for the patrol wagon, but It was 20 minutes before it arrived. Greene had meanwhile been forced to knock out the drunken man, and In fall ing upon the cement floor his face had been badly cut Raving and shouting, he was finally locked In a dark cell. Food Commission Active. After watch ing for more than a week to obtain evi dence against him. Constable Jackson, of Justice Reid's court, yesterday morning arrested R. M. Jespcrson on a charge of selling adulterated milk. Food Commis sioner Bailey made the complaint against the milkman. He is charged with having sold L. Fisher, on September 2, a can of cow fluid which contained more water than Is permissible. The hearing was set for September 1C. and Jesperson was re leased on his own recognisance. Meeting op Press Club. There will be a meeting of the City Press Club, of Port land, at the club quarters in the Marquam building Saturday afternoon, at the hour of 4 o'clock. This will be the first busi ness meeting held by the club for several months, and a great deal of important business will come up for consideration Plans for the AVinter will be the principal matter discussed, and in this all members of the club are Interested. A full attend ance of the officers of the organization is expected. Doctor Wasn't Paid. James W. Sim mons, the state deputy of the Modern Woodmen of America, has been sued in Justice Reid's court by Dr. Hamilton Moade for the sum of $40. alleged to be due the physician for professional serv ices in March, 1901. Mr. Simmons Is a well-known meiriber of the lodge, with an office in the Chamber of Commerce build ing. School Opens in Two Weeks. It Is two weeks yet till the schools open, but some of the buildings are being got In readi ness by the janitors. The surroundings of the Park School have been much im proved by a new cement sidewalk on the Jefrerson-street side. A row of poplars has been cut down.

Some of this right from the mint came Into the hands of Dr. I. S. Skiff, at lhat time a well-known dentist of Salem. He had a steel stamp, used for marking tools, or perhaps plates he man ufactured, and for some reason, or no reason, he stamped bis name on some 40 or 50 of the new quarter-dollars. Whether the law in regard to multilatlng United States coin was the same 45. years ago as now or not Is uncertain, but the action of Dr. Skiff caused some fuss and comment, an article in regard to It having been published In a New York paper. The coins were all passed out and all disap peared. Dr. Skiff died about four years ago, leaving three sons, all of whom are practicing dentists. The youngest, Dr. Frank S. Skiff, is now 23 years old, and has been in business in this city for some time. A few days ago, in paying off some workmen who had been fitting up his new office, he received In change from; one of them one of the quarter-dollars which his father had stamped 17 years before he was born. This is the nrst one f t!he stamped coins any of the Skiff family haa seen slnco their father passed them out of his hands 46 years ago. ThecoIn Is but little worn, but the name H S. Skiff is the plainest mark oh It If one could only know 'how far that little coin has traveled and how many hands it has passed through, how many drinks and cigars it has paid for, and how often it has gone into a contribution box, etc, during the 46 years It would make a long story. It may be that the finding of this coin will lead to the discovery of some of the others stamped at the same time. Dr. Skiff prizes the marked coin highly, and although $2.50 pieces are no longer In use and are worth $4 or $5 as curios, it would take a number of them to buy from Dr. Skiff the quarter his father stamped so long before he was born, How the Convention Was Won. The following from the Syracuse (K. Y.) Post Standard describes the active work which won the fiOa National Letter-Carriers Convention for Portland: The headquar ters of the Portland delegation In the larned block was a scene of activity yes terday. The four men in charge were kept busy explaining why the convention of 1905 should come to that city. Among the attractions offered was the Lewis and Clark FaV, which commemorates the Lrewis-CIark expedition to the Pacific slope in 1S03. It became generally known yesterday that Minneapolis, which was supposed to have been an aspirant for the convention, had instructed her dele gates not to seek It and Portland's stock rose rapidly. F. R. Bingley. of Portland, said: "We are after the convention as hard as we can go, and If we don't land It we will not be at fault At present our chances seem good, with only Qulncy, I1L, against us." "The railroad people and the Lewis and Clark Fair people," said one of the Portland boomers, "have as sured us that we can get greatly reduced railroad rates. The lines have made a $45 rate to Grand Army men from Chicago and all the Mississippi River points to California and return by way of Oregon, and the railroad people have assured us that we can get a $40 rate. If not less. We have got the fair, and every man. woman and child and Chinaman of Oregon back of us, and If the boys come wc will give them the worth of their money." Women's Clubs Compete for Prizes. A number of the women's Lewis and Clark clubs throughout the state are com peting for the $10 premium to be given to the best floral offering at the Oregon State Fair on Portland day, September 17. Five dollars for the second best Is of fered. Mrs. J. J. Morgan, secretary of the floral committee of the Portland Lewis and Clark Woman's Department, has had charge of the competition and has accom plished much toward creating an Interest throughout the state among the women, not only for the State Fair, but for the Lewis and Clark Centennial. Mrs. Mor gan will be at the State Fair during the week and will receive the floral offerings up to 10 o'clock Thursday. All withered flowers will be replaced with fresh ones. The wire frames, "L. & C, 1905," will be sent free to any club in the state by writ ing Mrs. J. J. Morgan, room 9. Hamilton building. The Portland Club will not com pete for the premium. Board of Trade's Active Work. Dur ing the past few weeks there has been an unusually busy time at the Board of Trade rooms In the matter of distributing litera ture advertising Oregon. In one month 120 letters have been written and 1500 pieces of literature have been sent ont In reply to individual Inquiries, while nearly 8000 pieces were sent out in bulk to va rious conventions and public gatherings. Lewis and Clark Exposition folders were inserted ln all literature sent out and dis tributed. Invitations have been issued during the past month for holding differ ent National conventions in this city, in cluding those of the National Letter-Carriers' Association, General Conference of the Evangelical Church, General Confer ence of the Christian Church, National Educational Association and Order of Hoo-Hoo. Oregon Woods at Citt Museum The exhibit of Oregon woods which forms one of the principal attractions of the free museum In the City Hall, especially to Eastern visitors, has been rearranged In two rooms In the sound end of the fourth story, and can now be seen by all. Owing to some changes In offices there, it was necessary to remove this exhibit from Its old quarters, and It has been piled In a spare room for several weeks, to the dis appolnment of many visitors. Colonel Hawkins, on whom devolves all the care and work bestowed on the museum, has beenso busy that he could not rearrange the. exhibit at once, but as soon as possi ble he attended to It, and it is now dis played to better advantages than ever In two rooms where there Is space for somo additions. War Carl Sparks Ran Awat. Mrs. John Eastman, of Portland, the sister of Carl Sparks, one of the deaf and dumb mutes who rah away from the. Vancouver school and was found wandering In Port land, wishes to correct the statement made by the police that her brother had served a term In the reform school and was known to be unmanageable. Appar ently Carl's sign talk was also misunder stood as to the treatment he received at the Institution, for he- told his sister that he had never said anything about being beaten and mistreated at the school. The boy was disappointed at not seeing his sister a few days before and ran away In the belief that once in Portland he could find her without difficulty. Huss Is Hard to Please. Wllhelm Huss, the Woodlawn baker, who was ar rested August 31 on a charge of being drunk and creating a disturbance. Is stifi aggrieved over the notoriety he gained by the occurrence. After making a firm denial of the charge after he had been fined by the Municipal Court for the of fense, he has now made a complaint against Frank Patten, the ex-policeman, who, as a neighbor of Huss, attempted to quiet him at the time. Patten, he says, put handcuffs upon him and otherwise abused and ill-treated him. The complaint filed in Justice Reid's court yesterday avers that "Patten did beat and assault one Wilhelm Huss."

CARNIVAL CfiORUS TRAINS OXB HUNDRED TO APPEAR IX SPECTACULAR. PRODUCTION. Georgrc Jabonr Announces Two Sensational Acts Booths to Be Ready Saturday. The gymnasium hall at Multnomah Club was crowded last night to witness the rehearsal of tha beautiful spectacular pro duction, "When Knighthood Was in Flower," which will be pTesented during the comlnjr carnival. Ove one hundred girls, young women, boys and young men took part in the rehearsal and took their parts to splendid advantage. The Mel notte sisters, who reached Portland yes terday, were present and gave a bewitch ing Spanish dance, which added greatly to the piece. Mr. Jabour, who fa In the city for a short business visit "was pres ent and declared that Professor Krohn was making remarkable progress with those In his charge. Mr. Jabour brought two 70-foot cars loaded to the roof with material for the spectacular production and for the Ger man village. He also brought his super intendent of grounds, who spent the day In taking measurements for the ten big acts that Mr. Jabour brings. Among these acts will be Miss In3ene, the high Are diver, who takes a position high In the air, saturates her clothing with gasoline, ignites the fluid and then Jumps 70 feet Into a tank of water. Thompson, an other daring artist,, rides a bicycle down ah Incline, leaps from It and jumps 100 feet Into a tank, of water. Everybody Is as busy as can be at the carnival grounds. A small army of men Is at work in Industrial street decorat ing the booths and getting everything ready for the opening. Director-General Bentley is very anxious that the carnival open on time and that Industrial street be In readiness- for the Inspection of the thousands the first night. For this rea son last night he Issued the following letter to the exhibitors; "Wo wish to thank the exhibitors for the promptness with which they have filled our space. We also wish at this time to appeal to those exhibitors, to impress upon them the necessity of fixing and trimming up their booths promptly. The electric lights will be turned on and test ed, at 7 P. M. Saturday night September 12, and it Is the earnest desire of the committee that all booths be completed by that hour. The club's colors are red and white. It Is also the desire of the committee to have these colors predom inate In the decorations." COMING ATTRACTIONS. "In the Palnce of the King." The unprecedented advance sale of the opening of the remodeled Baker Theater guarantees a series of large and fashion able audiences for the Nelll-Morosco Com pany the coming week. The presentation Sunday and the week following of Lorl mer Stoddard's dramatization of F. Ma rlon Crawford's historical novel, "In the Palace of the King," at popular prices, by so celebrated a dramatic organization as the Nelll-Morosco Company will be a the atrical bargain of exceptional consequence. The play has only been given once here, and then at $2 prices. Harry Marshall and ,two assisting scenic artists have been at work for two weeks on the elaborate spe cial scenery to be used In the production. The company comes direct to Portland from San Francisco, where Its success has been tremendous. "Burled at Sea." Next week's attraction at Cordray's will be "Burled at Sea," a powerful melo drama from the pn of Theodore Kremer, the author of "The Fatal Wedding." Tho play Is one which appealst to the sympa thies of audiences and paints In vivid colors the scheming adventures of a con scienceless villain. Through the entire piece runs a thread of humor and numer ous funny situations. The .title would im ply that the play Is a grewsome one, but this Is not so. The burial at sea Is mere ly one of the incidents of the play, and Is haloed by religious surroundings. The scenic effects arc gorgeous. Although the play is under the management of Mr. Mor dant and Miss Humphreys, It Is not the company playing at Cordray's Theater this week, but another and distinct or ganization of players. "A Texas Steer" Tomorrow. Hoyt's "A Texas Steer," which comes to the Marquam Grand Theatre tomorrow (Friday) night and Saturday afternoon at 2:15 o'clock Is unquestionably the best of the many bright comedies from the pen of the clever author of plays, which have afforded amusement to millions of theater-goers during the past 10 years.

Mabel Hlte, Thomas Whlffen, Ar thur Earnest, Oscar Ragland, May Boley, Genevieve Day. W. V. Strunz, Mae Steb blns, Carl Hartberg, Mae Rown, Josie Firth, Helen Kennedy and Mellle Rock feller. "The Lesion of Honor." "The Legion of Honor" continues at Cordray's Theater tonight, tomorrow night, Saturday matinee and Saturday night for the last. time. The play has made a deep and lasting Impression upon everyone who ha witnessed it In reality "The Legion of Honor" Is a $1.50 attrac tion, and If high prices were charged at Cordray's Theater the play would draw the very best class of theatergoers. Shields Closes Sunday. Shields' Park closes its highly success ful season on Sunday night. A special programme has been arranged.

To keep 1000 people laughing is no easy task, but it seems easy for Raymond and Caverly, the Irresistible German comedi ans at the Empire Theater. This Is the last week of Loa Durbyelle, the woman shadowgraphlst whose clever work Is one of the most attractive features shown In Portland this season. The silhouettes 'of the affectionate lovers Is most amusing. Shields' Amateurs Tomorrow. The last amateur night of the season at Shields' Park will be next Friday night, and h. new aggregation of "would-be" Thespians will trod the boards. Grace Walton Haynie and the excellent bill are drawing big crowds nightly. m Charged With Stealing Handcuff. -B. S. F.

Bold Hold-Up in Bay City. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 9. The two men who have been holding up saloons In the heart of the city have added to the excitement they have created by a bold raid In broad daylight In the tenderloin district They entered the lodging-house at 252 O'Farrell street, and, with drawn pistol?, commanded Edward Buckley and Peter Brooks, two lodgers, to throw up their hands. Then the robbers went through their victims clothes and took everything of value they possessed, $1600 worth in all. With a final word of warn ing to their victims not to utter a cry under penalty of death, the burglars left the place as quietly as they had entered, and the efforts of the police to locate them have been futile.
