Chinese Lotteries Running. Although
the Chinese lottery games have been
closed, the men who operate them find
soma eecluded place ty. which to carry on
business and those who wish to try their
luck manage to find out the places. Most
of the time three cr four of these games
ore running and not a few white men are
numbered among the players. At one
game Monday evening a white man won
between 700 and $800 dollars, and one
Anderson, a doorkeeper of a gambling-
house, won over $200 on an eight-spot- If
he had got a ten-spot, be would have won
about $700. "Winning is not always getting
at these Chinese lottery games, and, as
usual when large losses are made, the
bank went broke Monday evening, there
being only $2000 In it. The games, however.
are immediately reorganized and ready
for business the next night. The ease with
which these lottery games are "busted"
and reorganized is one of their main char'
acterlstics, and probably the one which
most tends to keep them "going. Some
years ago a Chinaman won at one of the
lotteries in this city about $1500, and of
course the bank at once broke, and the
defrauded winner went clean daft. It took
about half the then police force to get
him off to jail and get him calmed down
Tho lotteries were not under the ban of
the police in those days, but players or
victims wno created an uproar, or
"kicked" were.

Will Start a Seagull Farm. The
thousands of seagulls which have been
making themselves at home In the eastern
part of this city and on the water-front
for the past month or more show no
signs of returning to their accustomed
haunts along the coast. An old retired
whaler, who lives by the Ladd tract,
where the gulls most do congregate to
hunt for -earthworms, etc., has an Idea
of capturing and confining a lot of them
and keeping them to produce eggs for
market, He has visited the Arctic regions
on both this coast and the east coast and
has seen whole schooner-loads of egga of
gulls and other seagoing birds gathered
about Labrador, In the Farallone Islands
and on the coast of Alaska, and sent to
market. He has many a time feasted on
omelet of gulls' eggs, which find ready
sale In many markets. He says they are
not so delicate as hens' eggs, having a
slight tinge of a fishy taste, but they are
wholesome and nutritious, and are much
better than no eggs at all, which, of late
has formed a part of his breakfast very
often. He believes that If the gull3 were
kept here In conflnment awhile and prop
erly fed, their eggs would be as good as
hens eggs and much larger. Gulls are
great producers of eggs, as he has seen
miles of land and rocks covered with
them. He proposes, to fence in a piece
of land along a slough, including a. sec
tion of the slough, and to confine as many
gulls as he can procure there, and im
agines that in a little while they will be
come tame and can be treated the same
as barnyard fowls.
Stuck in the Groove. A rather singu
lar and painful accident befell the driver
of City Express wagon No. 20, while driv
ing up Fourth street, yesterday forenoon.
In front of the City Hall the wheels on
the off side of the wagon dropped Into the
groove of the Southern Pacific Railroad
track. The groove was such a tight fit
that the Inner flange shaved a thin slip
off the edge of the wagon tires twisted
in a spiral like the shavings in a machine
lathe. The horses, finding their load In
creased, slowed down, but finally the
wagon was blocked, and the next step
they took broke both the singletrees and
the doubletree and pulled the driver off
bis seat. He landed on his knees on the
pavement, cutting his knees, painfully.
The horses stopped and so did all the
people going by, and soon a number -Of
other vehicles collected around and their
drivers began giving advice to the victim.
Finally everybody lent a helping band In
trying to lift, push or pull the wheels
out of the groove, and if a train had
come snorting up the grade with a loco
motive at each end Just at that time;
there would have been a smash-up. The
wagon could not be moved till a long
scantling was procured and used as
lever. When It was finally extricated. It
was found that one wheel was all askew
and one axle sprung, and as the whlffle
treea were ruined. It took some time to
get things fixed so that the horses could
haul It away. The moral of this tale Is,
Don t get into a groove.
Logqino Camps in Operation. Many
persons appear to have erroneous ideas In
regard to tho state of affairs, concerning
tho supply of logs in the hands of loggers.
and the resumption of work in logging.
camps, which were closed during the holi
days. Donald Mackay, president of the
North Pacific Lumber Company, says
that. Instead of there being logs enough
In the water at the various logging camps
to supply the mills till Spring, the tact Is
that the loggers have only about 50.000,000
feet of logs, while the mills consume
2,000,000 feet per day, so the supply Is not
enough to last a month. Many of the log
ging camps, in fact, most of them, he
says, have resumed operations and rafts
of logs are being sent up from Coal Creek
and Lewis River every few days. One
large logging company has not yet re
sumed operations because It is putting in
powerful machinery to operate logging
cars up and down the steep Incline where
its. road reaches the river, but practically
tho logging camps are all in operation. As
to trouble between the lumber pompanles
and transportation companies. which In
terfere with tho shipment of lumber, Mr.
Mackay says there Is no more of this than
there has been for some time.
Street Improvement Work Rushing.
Street Improvement work has been re
sumed very generally and tho City En
gineer has requests to have grade stakes
for such work set every day, and the
surveyors are kept busy doing this. Yes
terday there was on urgent demand for
grado stakes on Bast Twenty-fourth
street, from Bast Burnslde to tho Base
Line road, a distance of 11 blocks, which
Is under contract for grading, macadam
izing and sidewalks. The stakes have
been set for the grading of Hamilton be
tween Corbett and Kelly streets, and the
work of grading and macadamizing Sher
man street from Front to the head of the
street Is well under way. The middle
of the street between the tracks and rails
of the Portland Railway Company has
been macadamized some time, while the
remainder badly needs improving. City
Engineer Elliott says street improvement
work has started up with a,, rush, the rock
cfushers are In operation and contractors
generally are all at work. Just as It
Summer had come. This state of affairs
and tho fact that lumber camps are re
suming operations should soon lessen the
number of unemployed worklngmen.
Two Voters Who Are Supine. A
voter was met yesterday coming out of
the County Clerk's office, where he had
been registering. He drew a sigh of re
lief as he said he had performed an Im
portant duty. -He had no idea what elec
tion was coming off, or when, but said It
was necessary to register every two years
or so. L. Lemllne, an old citizen, also
registered. He said he did not vote last
time, and he did not know that he would
this time, but thought It Just as well to
bo prepared In case he should want to
vote. A politician who heard what was
said remarked that, if the registration of
many voters was as perfunctory as that
of these appeared to be, there was danger
that the prediction made long ago that
municipal government in this country
would finally prove the ruin of the gen
eral Government might some day come
true.

Street Cleaning Not Suspended. The
force of the street-cleaning department
has been invisible for so long In so many
Dlaces where their services are urgently
needed that many have imagined that It
has been disbanded. Superintendent Alex
Donaldson was asked yesterday what had
become of his men and teams, and rep ilea
that two gangs are at work all the time,
one on each side of the river, and he
hoped to be able to put out another before
long lf'he could get a few horses, as there
was more mud than, the present numoer
of teams can hauL Along East Eleventh
street his men scraped up 20 cartloads to
the block, and in the region about tne
Armory there was so much that it was
Just scraped into windrows and did not
have to be bunched into heaps at nan.
Mr. Donaldson says he has never before
seen so much mud on the streets as there
Is this Winter, and he . has no idea where
it all comes from. Probably the contract
ors who furnish cracked rock for macad

some Information on this subject.

Hackdrlver Says Smith Used Undue
Force-Woman Says Franklin
Made Love to Her.
Patrolman B. F. Smith and Special Offi
cer George Franklin were on the carpet
before the police committee of the Execu
tive Board yesterday afternoon. Officer
Sm'th .was charged with using undue
force in arresting a hackdrlver named
Charles Jackson, while Officer Franklin
was accused of having exhibited undue af
fection for Miss Lulu Winters, who had
called him to her room to tell him of an
alleged encounter with a couple of robbers.
Attorney C. E. S. Wood appeared in be
half of Jackson. He said the scalp of
no one was being sought, but rather it
was his Intention to assist in eliminating
lamentable degree of Ignorance which
had been shown by the Chief of Police and
other members of the department In ar
resting Jackson. It was shown that the
arrest occurred last August on the Alder
street dock, which Is public property. Offi
cer Smith arrested the hackdrlver be
cause -he insisted upon driving down the
dock. It was contended that he used more
force than. was necessary, pulling the pris
oner from his seat to the street with great
force, thus nearly precipitating a runaway.
Smith admitted that he may have used a
little moro force than was absolutely nec
essary In making the arrest, but said he
had warned Jackson twice and had been
hailed with a flourish of profanity when
he stopped the driver's horses to prevent
him from driving on the dock-after hav
ing been otherwise ordered
The evidence of a-' dock official was in
troduced to show that the police had been
requested to keep hackdrivers and ex
pressmen from driving down the dock.
Commenting on this evidence, Mr. Wood
said that, according to the Supreme Court.
the dock In question is public property and
the Chief of Police exhibited Ignorance In
not being aware of this fact, and could be
held In a civil suit for damages for mak
ing a false an est.
"It Is not in a spirit of revenge that this
matter Is brought before the police com
mittee," said Mr. Wood. In conclusion,
'but as a duty to the public. If the po
licemen do not know their duty and the
Chief of Police and the- captains of police
do not instruct them in their duty, then
some one must show them. And it is with
this spirit that we submit this case."
There were no formal charges against
Special Officer Franklin, accused of con
duct unbecoming an officer. Lulu Win
ters, the young woman who had com
plained to the chief, was not on hand
when the case was called. Franklin's tes
timony was heard and tne case went over
until today.
Franklin said he was called by Miss
Winters to her room and found her In
great excitement, through an encounter
with burglars, as she said. He says he
searched the houso and left without act
ing "in the least ungentlemanly." He said
he was at a loss to know why the woman
had told such a tale about him, and visited
her a couple of days ago to find out what
she meant. He said she thon denied hav
ing told any such story.
uniet iunt saw the woman called on
him and told him the officer sat on the
edge of her bed, told her that she was a
dear, good woman, and kissed her. In the
event that Miss Winters is located, the
case will be continued today.

Trick to Regain Liberty.
i'eter xvevms, accused of being a pro
fessional car-breaker and bad man gen
erally, proved to the police yesterday

he may have exhibited In allowing himself
to be captured, he Is still shrewd. Nevlns

lng by escaping from the City Jail in such
a manner that his absence was not known
until some hours aftor he had left.
He got away by passing himself off as
a common drunk and answering to a name
other than his own, when Police Court

COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Matinee Today at Marquam.
This afternoon at 2:15 o'clock a special
matinee performance of "Way Down
East," the beautiful New England
drama, now playing a week's engagaraent
at The Marquam Grand Theater, will1 be
given. This Is one of the purest and
most wholesome plays on the American
stage and a treat to all theater-goers.
Pattl In the South.
Robert ' Grau, who has been arranging
the Southern tour of Madame Adellna
Pattl, who cames to this city at the
Amory Thursday night, January 14.
writes from Atlanta to the home manage
ment:
'Pattl will make a clean-sweep South
never saw such enthusiasm In my
life."
No doubt the South Is richer by far
this year than it has been at any ttma
since the beginning of the War 42 years
ago and It has money to spend on high
priced luxuries. Pattl is essentially a
high-priced luxury, like canvas -back, and
Is even rarer.
Mr. Grau has wisely booked PatU during
this Southern tour In tho best and. larg
est theaters, In place of the vast and
dreary convention halls and auditoriums
which, to offset their site, are generally
poorly lighted and heated. To make up
for thlB he has arranged to put b
seats on the stage In each place
This Dlan was first attempted at the
Brooklyn Academy, since then doomed
to destruction. The plan was found to
work admirably and It. has since been
followed In a number of places. It brings
the audience In closer and more sympa
thetic contact with the singer than Is
possible In those Immense barn-llk6
structures that harf destroy the Intimate
charm of such exquisite singing as
Patti's.
The advance sale Aof "seats will .open
next Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
"The Ironmaster" at the Baker.
The majority of Portland theater
goers have always shown a decided love
for high-class society plays, and that
the Baker Company has ever been so
perfectly adapted for such, Is perhaps
one of the principal reasons for its un
bounded popularity. In 'TThe Iron
master" which Is running all this week,
the company is seen at its Tiest. Mls3
Lyon is doing Bplendld work and winning
new friends and admlrera at every per
formance. '
Florence Roberts Is Coming.
Florence Roberts, one of the most
brilliant actresses that ever dame to
Portland, will open an engagement of one
week next Monday night, January 11, In
a repertoire of her latest succes at The
Marquam Grand Theater. The advance

ing. At the Arcade.

"No Family Trouble."
PORTLAND, Jan. 5. (To the .Editor.)
Will you please correct the statement In
the Sunday paper that the wife of Henry
Griffin had him arrested for abusing his
family. There was.no family trouble, only
some of the neighbors had a little too long
tongues. If some of them would only
tend a little more to their own affairs
there would not be so much mischief Sri
this world. Mr. Griffin is a kind husband
to his wife and children, and he always
gives his day's wages to his wife without
her asking for them.
MRS. HENRY GRIFFIN.

matter where you want to
use it, whether in kitchen,
t 1 s r.
sewing room or launury, u
is but a small matter to con
nect it to the electric tight
circuit. It is quickly heated
and remains heated as long
as the current is on. Espe
cially in the sewing room,
where- a hot iron is often
needed, will this be appre
ciated From the fact that it
requires no fire and no run
ning to and from the kitchen.
