Secretary Martin, of the National Live stock Association, who has been in the aiy -lot seyerax weens ana nas " , Buierea wunsome oi un prominent SCen f, 8tah 1S ?W enstged with the assistance of two stenographers, In sending out a thousand or more notices to members of the association In regard to the meeting of that body to be he d here In January. Mr. Martin Is an old newspaper man, and from his flrst cor respondence with H. Scott, Colonel Jud eon, Food Commissioner Bailey and others was Inclined to be slightly leary of Orcgonlans generally, and of the trio mentioned In particular, he thought that it would be well to keep the width of a street, or perhaps a continent, between them and himself. Since making Inves tigations here' he has felt more at ease, and, having heard Colonel Judson talk and seen Scott's 6-inch (in diameter) apple and been convinced that he really has Spring lamb, born in -September, fit for market, he has all his fears and suspicions allayed and can fearlessly and honestly send out inducements to livestock men to attend the meeting here. Some people whose frank speech and honest faces never fail to create a favorable impres sion entirely fall in this when they put pen to paper. "What Is "writ Is writ, but words spoken may be amended or ex plained away. Crawfish Becoming Scabcb. An odd looking genius was met on Second street yesterday with two purse nets on rings about six feet across slung over one Bhoulder, and a package of stale beef under the other arm. He explained that he was: going crawfishing, as the market was bare of these delicacies, and If he caught any he could get 15 cents or more a dozen for them. When asked If the crawfish had not all gone down Into bur rows In the mud for the Winter, like the catfish, he said the Winter was so mild here that they did not do this. Tie knew some ponds on the East Side where the water Is deep and where therefore fine, large crawfish. He would fasten a big chunk of meat in the center of his nets and sink them, somo distance apart, from his boat. After leaving them about two hours he would haul them up, and repeat the process. Crawfish used to be very abundant In many sloughs and streams of this section a year or two ago and thousands of them were sent in" from the Tualatin, but when people generally took to eating them they soon became .scarce and dear. Crawfishermen will have to try the streams and ponds of distant sections now for them, as there Is a good demand for these crustaceans, which, when cooked In wine with a liberal allowance of spices, are rather appetizing. Business Demands More Room. Ex tensive changes are being made In the In terior of the Starr block and the R. R. Thompson block on Front street The latter, when flrst built, was occupied by Knapp & Burrell, L.. White & Co., and Hawley, Dodd & Co., but has for many rears been occupied entirely by Flelschner, Mayer & Co., who are now constructing an extensive range of offices In their south department. The dead wall on Ankeny street has been pierced with a number of windows, each of which Is in tended to light a private office, and the large windows on Front street are to light the main office, which is to be moved from its present location a door or two north. Other changes are being made In the building as shown by the lumber being hoisted out the windows of the upper story. In front of the Starr block tho sidewalk is piled with bricks taken out of archways cut through the dividing wall between, the store of W. P. Fuller & Co., and the adjoining storeroom formerly occupied by Wadhams & Co. Both rooms are hereafter to be occupied by Fuller & Co. Elected bt Rotai. Arcanum Lodge. At the annual election of officers for Oregon Council, No. 15S2, Royal Arcanum, held Wednesday evening, the following persons were chosen for the year 1S04: J. E. Werlein, regent; R. Schmltz, vice regent; F. Hoecker, secretary Hiram Hutchinson, treasurer; Lee Loomls, orator; J. W, Bushong, chaplain; H. C. Webber, collector; W. Smith, guide; Dr. W N. Barrett, warden; J. W. Hutchinson, sentry. At the close of the meeting a German lunch, pumpernickel etc, was served, the usual malt beverage being re placed by elder. This was done In ac cordance with the system lately adopted by many fraternal orders In the East, which omit liquors from their repasts In the lodgeroom or as brethren, for the moral effect, not that the taking of wine, etc., In moderation Is objectionable, but it is not desirable that as a brotherhood they should favor it. This probably Is not objectionable to liquor dealers, as all who want any kind of liquor can go to a saloon after lodge for It. Onlt Six Dollars Difference. Bids for thj erection of a new foundation under the city ham at Sixteenth and iMadlson streets were opened yesterday and the contract for a concrete founda tion to cost 51S69 was let to H. G. Lund strom. The bids were close, the next lowest being 51875. The wooden retainers under the city barn have become decayed and for some time the safety of the building has been In' doubt Work will commence in the near future and the barn will once more be In excellent condition. Adds to His Art Qaislert. A full length oil painting of President Lincoln has been added to the collection which adrons the walls of Coroner Flnley's office, the rest of the collection being a painting of President McKinley. The por trait of Lincoln Is a copy of the one In the White House and was painted by W. Cogswell, a California artist for the Cal ifornia State House, but for some reason did not get there.

Hat Got "His Twswtt Ckjkhotd. A street-car conductor who had been usable to collect fear fares in succession from a passenger who bad no smaller change than a $30 piece yesterday heeled himself for the "gdld bug" by wrapping $13.85 In very small change In a parcel and stow ing It away In his pocket. Sure enough the $20 was produced for the fifth time and the conductor slid it into his pocket and handed over the change, which made a big handful. The passenger took it In good part, saying that he never Intended to cheat the company, but was putting off changing the $20 piece as long as possible, for It lasted so much longer In a twenty than In change. Another passenger on a street-car a few days ago .handed the conductor a $5 piece Instead of a nickel, which went unnoticed Into Ms pocket. Knowing that the mistake would be dis covered, the loser notified he cashier of the car company that he 'had given the conductor a $5 gold piece and asked him to look out for it. The cashier said he would, and a day or two after telephoned to the loser to ask on what day he had given the $5 to the conductor, saying that one had been turned In. When the lQser named tho day, he was told that the- piece turned In was not his as It was given the ronductor on another day and another nian had given notice that he had passed 5 , on con(3uclor on that day ao one turned in beloaAd to him. The j flrst loser ha8 not t head anything of , hls j but nas found out there i , ,', , onri. MTnif Is another man as careless as himself who had more money In his pocket than he was fit to be trusted with. It is not probable that car conductors often re ceive $5 pieces instead of nickels, or they would soon bo going Into some other business. Lectures on Ad. Writing. H. G. Whlttler, in charge of the advertising of Olds. Wortman & King, delivered a lec ture on advertising last night before the students of the Y. M. C. A night school. Sixty members of the class were present and followed what Mr. Whlttler had to say with close attention. Mr. Whittier maintained that ad writers were, like poets, born, not made. He said that ad vertising schools were good as far as they went but beyond teaching a knowledge of type and form, the Instruction the students received from such schools was of no speclal'value when It came to the actual work. He explained at consid erable length the various forms of adver tising, and asserted that. before an ad writer could write a successful and read able advertisement he must be thorough ly familiar with the line of goods he wiBhed to place before the public. With this knowledge in band, the next import ant thing was to make prominent the value of the article advertised and the prices. Mr. Whlttler also declared that the best and speediest result obtainable through advertising was gained through the newspapers. Postal Service Efficient. The license department of the city government has been imich Impressed with the prompt ness and efficiency of the postal service In this city., Some 350 notices to saloon keepers, with blank applications for licenses, which they all are required to file hy December 10, were sent from the license department to the Postofflce at 1:30 P. M. Wednesday. Before 3 P. M. less than V& hours from the time the notices left the City Hall, the deputy who had dispatched them received a telephone message from a saloonkeeper at 404 Washington street stating that he had received his notice. This Is considered expeditious mall delivery. It may be said, however, that the saloonkeeper had only received a license and begun business a few days before, and he was a little ex cited and wanted to know why he was notified to file another application for license so soon. This explains his prompt ness In giving notice of the receipt of the communication, but does not detract from the credit due the Postofflce employes. Kangaroos for Citt Park. Pdrkkeeper Lowltz was looking around yesterday for a family of three kangaroos which Colonel Hawkins found on board a ship in this harbor and purchased for $50. They wero to have been delivered Wednesday, but there was some hitch with the customs officers about duties. The kangaroos will be quite an attraction at the Park as the only one ever exhibited there jumped the range a gpod while ago. They will bo given temporary and comfortable quarters In a roomy compartment of tne monKey cage, where they can be viewed through a window and In due time a house will he provided for them. They will doubtless be glad to get away from on shipboard and a diet of hardtack and salt horse. All the Wat From Persia. When the great variety and quantity of fresh and dried fruits from all parts of this country and many other countries, to say nothing of canned fruits, which the market here afford la considered, it seems strange that any one should send all the way to Persia for dates. They have pits in them nearly as large as those In prunes and not half so much meat around them. Yet yester day a carllad of dates, all the way from Persia, via New York, arrived here, and were strewn all along Front street There must be a demand for them or they would hot be brought here to compete with figs, raisins, grapes) etc., to say nothing of dried prunes, peaches and other native fruits. Cold Weather Spreads Ssialiox. One of the two smallpox patients in the pesthouse was discharged as t:ured yes terday and the other Is convalescent and will be" discharged In a few days. When It was remarked to the matron that It looked as If she would soon be out of business, she replied: "Oh we may have a new case before night Cold, frosty weather is almost certain to develop cases of smallpox In unexpected places, and the disease Increases and spreads in such weather." T. P. A. to "Hold Annual Meeting. Traveling men, members of the Trav elers Protective Association, are look ing forward to the annual meeting which will be held December 26 at the Hotel Portland. At this meeting officers will be elected and a lively time is carded. Certain members of the association are of the opinion that only active traveling men should be In office. The annual hop of the association will bo held on De cember 23 at the Armory. Brakbman's Hand Crushed. While coupling cars yesterday H. M. Baker, brakeman for the Southern Pacific, caught his hand between the bumpers and It was badly crushed. He was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, where his wounds were dressed. The bones of his. hand were broken and crushed. George E. Kramer has just returned from San Francisco. Since returning Mr. Kramer has purchased the interest of F. J. Patterson in the firm of W. P.

Coloael -fHarringtea. of Pillar Rock, whose wanderings and ponderlnga and out-of-way lolterings in Europe caused his friends here so much uneasiness, has at last reached England and haffsettled down In Alnwick for the Winter. He wrote to a" friend here that after leaving Rome he visited Genoa and thence proceeded to Monte Carlo, where he visited the great gambling-house, which is the chief at traction of the place, and saw men and women of every country "bucking the tiger." He says the game appeared to be run on the square, but he did not put apy money at stake as there was plenty on the board, and he was about broke. Bo he cannot boast that he "broke the bank at Monte Carlo." He-returned to Parls.by way of Nice and Marseilles and found F. M. Warren, wlfa and daughter, ready to start for Italy and John Barrett for the Argentine Republic the next morning, so he said good-bye to them and started via Calais and London for Alnwick, his boy hood home. He says the old town Is the same as It was 100 years ago no change and he shall rest there until ready to start for Portland. Mantle of Heavt Frost. The first M genuine frost of the season whitened the roofs, streets and sidewalks eajly yester day morning. It was not a particularly eager and nipping frost as roses and other flowers survived It and by the time the sun was fairly above the horjzon, It had disappeared, except from roofs of unoc cupied buildings and -wooden sidewalks. Boys early on the way to school had great sport sliding on sloping walks, run ning half a block to get up an Impetus that would make them slide a few yards. Those who ran too far missed It, for they slackened their paco at the last and could not get up headway on the slide. The only accident caused by the frost, so far as known, was the fall of a smooth shod horse at Third and Alder, and the same mishap to another which shied at tho struggling beast and went sprawling himself. The chilly morning was succeeded by one of the most delightful days of the season, the north wind being tempered by the bright sunshine. Mat Be Gold in Columbia Sand. Major W. C Langfitt United States Engi neer Department, will send a sample of tho sand at the mouth of the Columbia River, which Is said to contain quantities of gold, to the Director of the Geological Survey, at Washington, D. C, in order that it may be determined whether the sand carries gold in sufficient quantities to be saved when the dredge Chinook commences continuous work on the bar. The patches put on the boilers in the dredge at tho Mare Island navy-yard, have been leaking badly of late and It is ex pected that the greater part of the Winter will be taken up in repairing the boat Where Ib George H. Murpht? A let ter from Augusta, Me., addressed to George H. Murphy, who Is supposed to be In Portland, has been received by Post master Bancroft, who Is asked by the writer to make some Inquiries, and, If possible, ascertain his whereabouts. The letter was written by Miss Minnie E. Murphy, for the mother of George H., who Is an Invalid and Is very anxious, to hear from her son. Should this meet tho eye of Mr. Murphy, or of any one who knows his whereabouts, he will please communicate with Postmaster Bancroft at once. CuBTOM-HousE Receipts $23,944. Custom-House receipts for the monthvpf No vember were $23,944.90. The small amount of revenue Is partially explained by the fact that the British steamship Indravelll was delayed by rough weather on her last trip, arriving In port on November 30, too late to Include her November receipts in the monthly statement COMINGr ATTKACTI0NS.

According to a decision by Justice of the Peace Reld yesterday in tho 534.25 damage suit of C. A. Faylor against W. E. McPherson, the keeper of an Inn is responsible to his guest for articles of value that may be stolen from his room, but the keeper of a lodging house Is not responsible to bis lodgers for a loss unless it can be shown that the loss is due to his negligence.

This question Is an swered In the affirmative In E. J. Carpen ter's production of Hall Reld's melodrama, j "A Little Outcast" which had its flrst j presentation at Cordray's last night The 'star part Is well taken by May' Stockton, who appears as Bob, a news boy, who occupies the stage most of the time. In defiance of a drunken father. She ( always arrives In the nick of time to baf- ! fie the schemes of the bad men In the j play, and wins In tho end. Paul Weston Is a regular Happy Hooligan so far as luck Is concerned, and the part Is strongly played by Stanley Johns, a young man with a splendid bass voice that cosily fills the theater. Weston was arrested In New York for a crime he never committed, but was found guilty and was sent to Sing Sing, where ono of his fellow-prisoners was "Hungry" Dick Higgins, a crook, a part played by F. C. Burton. Weston gets out of the penitentiary ahead of Higgins, and is so clever and lucky at flrst that he gets a position at $3000 per year with a New York broker named William Harcourt, and secretly marries the latter's daughter, Madeline Harcourt (Mllllcent Evans). The chief bad man of the play Is George DeVoe, whose very presence breathes trouble, and Edwin Young takes care of thl3 part DeVoe steals bonds from Harcourt3 safe. Weston, of course, is blamed for tho deed, and he is cast adrift In this Instance, however, his wife doe3 not accompany him, but re mains with homo and father. Weston be comes a drunkard and falls in with Hig gins, burglar, and other like companions. They try to rob the Harcourt mansion, when Weston discovers that he is about to rob his father-in-law, and he and Hig gins quarrel, and Weston Is shot Tho Villains next try to burn him alive in a house near a New York dock, but Bob, the newsboy, .not only saves him but per suades him to give up liquor. After that the true story of the robbery of the bonds is told, the villains disappear, and Weston and his wife aro reunited. Miss Evans was effective in the boudoir scene, where Robert Young, about 5 years old, says the familiar prayer, "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep." Another child, Edna Young, plays the part of a Chinese waiter acceptably. The scenery and ef fects aro good, especially the presentation of a house on fire. There are several spe cialties. The cast Is a well-balanced one, and the melodrama worth seeing. It will be the attraction tonight and tomorrow night, with a matinee tomorrow after noon. "Jim the Penman." It has been a long time since "Jim tho Penman" was last seen- In Portland, and ltls-thls week In the hands of the Baker Theater Company.

"I think I can get along very well without one. I am the chief deputy just now," and the Sheriff paced to and fro In a self-satisfied sort of way, "but" he added, "perhaps after awhile there may be so much to do that I will have to appoint one, but not at the pres ent time." - The salary of the chief deputy is fixed by statute at $150 per month, and if the Sheriff adheres to his present resolution the taxpayers will save thlB sum. The Sheriff says things In the office are run ning very smoothly, with the force ha 'now has, all of his deputies being very competent men.
