The theory that flsh transplaiited from the streams of the East to the broad -waters of the Columbia grow and expand to a magnitude th'ey never attain In the East, Is likely to be proved correct. Mention was made a few days ago of a black fcass caught in Columbia Slough "which was 21 Inches In length . and weighed 6even pounds. This, -old bass fishermen say, Is larger than any ever caught in the East. Now comes the largest carp on record. It was caught off the "wharf at the foot of Alder street yesterday, and weighed 27 pounds. Two boys were seen toting It np the street on a stick, to which It was attached in the usual man ner, by a string made fast to the big spine on the back fin. They -were offering it for sale to all they met, and seyeraJ Chinese and a market man who had no use for it except as a show, "were bid ding for it The price "was run up to 40 cents, which was bid by a Chinaman, and as no effort could secure another 5 cents; it was knocked down to him. Duck hunt ers and fishermen all despise the carp, and say that the black bass- "will soon thin- them out, but as they are very pro ductive, this remains to be seen. A white wash man who happened along when this big carp was sold, remarked that they were not so bad eating as many suppose. He said he had his brains near ly knocked out by one a week ago, and had a chunk of it for his dinner. He was whitewashing a barn lor a farmer down near Holbrook, -when a. blue crane came flying over with a carp in its bill on Its way to its nest to feed its young. A boy took a crack at the bird with a toy igun, and It dropped the carp, striking 4he whltewasher on the side of the head and knocking the bucket of "wash out of his hand. He said he was mighty glad the fish ld not weigh 27 pounds, or ho "would have been done for. Bleep 'Fuexs Before a Howuko Dog. Mention was made yesterday of a number of sleep-destroying nuisances of which there Is much complaint. The worst of the kind, worse even than the bandsman x who practices on the cornet, came to light yesterday morning and Is a genuine case of cruelty to animals, but human and ca nine, and has so destroyed the slumbers of a neighborhood as to affect their health and call for the action of the Health De partment. It appears that the owner of a ferocious "bulldog and his wife as well have been stricken with fever and are In a hospital. Their residence, at the end of Third street on Marquam Gulch, is vacant and the bulldog has been left chained on the premises and Is not provided with sufficient food or water. A relative of the dog's owner calls to see him occasionally, but the brute Is nearly starved and howls day and night. The residents on both sides of the gulch have made formal complaint and yesterday morning Health Inspector Beutelspacher went out to investigate the case. He was sorry he had not taken his fumigating medicine along so that he could have asphyxiated the dog and put 'an end to the troubles of the dog and the neighbors, "but he caught the relative there and gave him a piece of his mind and ordered the dog removed. Few appear to know that a howling dog is a health-destroying nuisance under the ban of the law or more such, pests would be removed. The dogcatcher will begin his rounds in a day or two and the disappearance of the army of- vagrant, homeless and un licensed dogs which are a curse to the city may be lujped" for in the near future.

Chase, ex Clty Engineer, yesterday. After two months of .steady work in the field he is making a short stay In Portland and en joying seeing old friends. "I have been kept on the go steadily ever since I was out of office," said he, "and have not even had time to inquire Into the political situation. First I went over to South Bend, "Wash., and surveyed and located a district sewer for that town, which Is making rapid strides of progress. Then I went up In the Molalla country and as chief engineer of the Electric Ldght z Power Company surveyed a canal line from a point on the Molalla River eIx miles from the mouth through a rich agri cultural region to the Willamette River. The canal has a fall of about 100 feet in the six miles and an electrical power sta tion is to be located on it near New Era. Next r went up to Bend, on the Des chutes River, and made preliminary sur veys and computations of the cost of works for supplying that town with a system of waterworks." Mr. Chaso also has charge, of the proposed Tillamook waterworks, and has made surveys and prepared estimates of the cost of the system. -- Improve Streets, Then Lat 'Pipes. The property-owners on Sherman street west of Second street have lately gone to the extreme of having that .thoroughfare resurfaced and put in good order, This work has been completed only a short time and now a gang of pipe-layers In the employ of the gas company has put In an appearance and has dug a trench along the north side of the. street between Third and Fourth, and is laying a small gas pipe in it Of course the material cannot be replaced in the trench so as to make the streetrlook as It did before it was torn up and there will be a depression there and the large pieces of crushed rock will be on the surface and the benefit of the Improvements made by the property owners will be nullified. Some of them wonder why the gas pipes could not have been laid before the street was surfaced, but are told that this Is one of the things which no one can find out and that this style of doing things Is the usual one here. If property-owners are anxious to get gas or water pipes laid In a .street or a sewer constructed therev they will find that the quickest way to secure these im provements Is to make a costly improve ment on the street. It rarely falls. Visit op Rear -Admiral Rab. Rear Admiral Charles M. Rae, chief of the Bu reau of Steam Engineering in the United States Navy, accompanied by Mrs. Rae, was at the Hotel Portland for dinner last night, en route from Seattle to San Fran cisco, where he will inspect the Mare Island Navy-yard near that city. 'He stated that he knew nothing of a proposal for another dock at Puget Sound. He added that after the Lake "Washington Canal is constructed, if warships are sent there to He up In the fresh waters of the lake, that repair shops might be estab lished which might in time grow into an other navy-yard. At the same time, he said, it Is often necessary 'to send a boat that has been In fresh water into a dock where barnacles are removed. Races! Races! Races! Races! Rain or Shine! Rain or Shine! Today!

All the delicacies of the -season at -the Portland Restaurant; fine,- private apart ments f 6r parties, 305 Wash., near 5th. ' ( . ' " r ; , Burnett's Extract of Vanilla In purity and eti-ength pre-eminently superior,- BODY OF BRUGGER FOUND MISSING HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER HAD BEEN DROWNED. While Fording Lewis River, Portland Instructor Met Death Funeral Will Be Held Today. - Just two. weeks and one day after the. disappearance ofTheophll Brugger. an In structor of the Portland High School, who started on horseback from Gresham to visit a brother near Woodland, Wash., and ' never reached his destination, his bqdy was discovered in the waters of the Lewis River by an Indian. The Indian found the body just about daylight Wednesday morning, floating near the. bank. It was easily recognized and was immediately taken charge of by relatives. Searching parties had been dragging the Lewis River and scouring the woods In every direction In that locality since the failure of Professor Brugger to reach, his brothers, home at the appointed time," and the return of his horse the following morning. This naturally led to the xbe llef that he had been browned, and the fact that the horse's forefeet were tangled In his reins. made It seem reasonable to believe that the animal had pitched for ward Into a hole in the river bed, thus entangling himself and tnrowlng his un fortunate rider Into the current. Pro fessor Brugger could not swim. He be gan taking lessons at the Y. M. C. A. last Winter, but did not persevere until he had mastered the art, and thLs may have cost him his life. It is possible, however, that his head may have been struck In the fall, rendering him unconscious. The last person to see Professor Brug ger was a white man whom he met in the vicinity of the river on the trail. He stop ped and asked this man how the ford across the river was. He was told that it was Just about as It always was, and with, this he rode on. The man stood and watched him until he turned into the side-trail which led to the ford, and then resumed his way. A few minutes later he heard him shouting, but his supposi tion, and that of his friends, is that he was shouting for the Iiraian guide who. lived on the other bank of the river to come and conduct him across. The In dian did not come out, so Tie, tried to cross alone. Professor Brugger had been on a trip to Mount Hood before ho started on the Journey to Woodland. When he reached Gresham and found the letter from his brother, asking him to come to Wofedland for a visit, for some unaccountable reason he did not want to go. He wanted to see his brother, but some strange pre monition seemed to hold him back. He decided to go, however, and started out In fairly good spirits, never to return. The funeral services will bo held at the First Unitarian Chapel, Seventh and Yamhill, at 10 o'clock this morning, af ter which the remains will be taken to Gresham for Interment. Mr. Brugger had many friends In Port land. He was connected with the Bishop Scott Academy for a -number of years, and at the time of his death occupied the chair of physics in the High School. He had traveled widely and was a man of unusual culture and refinement. AMUSEMENTS. "Captain Lettarblair.'' Pretty stage pictures make the Colum bia's production of "Captain Lettarblalr" notable. The cleverness of the lines causes ripples and roars of laughter. Mr. Dills has an admirable part as Dean Ambrose, and this popular comedian is acting at his best Mr. Baume, as Captain Lettar blalr, has many fine lines, and his mas tery of the Irish brogue Is delicious, and not the exaggerated dialect which so oft en proves offensive. From the moment Miss Countiss appears In a. riding habit in the first act she receives round after round of applause, and. she acts the part of the capricious Fanny Hadden with grace, wearing beautiful gown3 that daz zle the feminine portion of every audi ence. The auditorium presents a bril liant spectacle, the handsome decorations being particularly attractive under the soft light of the electric chandeliers. MacDowell's Greatest Rote.

No one In this country has ever attempted to follow the footsteps of this star In the part It calls for a polished traitor, a man of refinement and cruelty, a man who will assassinate Any one to gain his ends. Such Is the kind of man that Mr. Mac Dowell presents, and he plays the diffi cult role to the very life. Miss Deane, in the title part Is beyond comparison with any living actress In the role, un less it Be Sarah Bernhardt Matinee Saturday. Keane's Great Popularity.

Talcing advantage of the bereave ment of one man and the sympathetic accommodation of another, a bungling penman attempted to pass a check forged In favor of John S. Clenaghen, a machinist of 385 East Ninth street, whose wifo was to be burled the next day, upon Coroner J. P. Flnley, who had the funeral arrangements In charge. Seven dollars was the big stake played for. The forgery was committed by some one familiar with the bereave ment of Clenaghen and who knew the undertaker In charge of the- f ftneral. Had the trick been sprung upon the undertaker a little more cleverly It would undoubtedly have been success ful. A small boy appeared at Mr. Finley's office Monday evening. He bore anote signed by John S. Clenaghen, which asked that a personal check for. $22 upon the First National Bank drawn by Thomas B. Williams in favor of Clenaghon and indorsed by him be cashed, that $17 be placed to Clena ghen's account and that the balance $7, be returned by the bearer. "I will explain when I see you again," was tho conclusion of the note. The Coroner , looked at the hand writing on tho cheeky and on the note. Then he remembered that when he studied arithmetic the difference be tween $22 and $17 was not $7 but $5. "He had never seen the handwriting of Mr. Clenaghen, but .the chlrography before him did not look like the writ ing of a machinist. He questioned the small boy. "Are you Mr. Clenaghen's son" "No, I sells papers. This man was In front of a florist's store on Morri son street, and he sent me up here with that," and the small boy cast aside all responsibility. As the entire transaction still ap peared shady to the Coroner, although a florist's would be a -natural "placo for Clenaghen at the time, he sent the boy back' without reply or money. No further request was made.. The next day, Tuesday, Mr. Flnley told the man who had just buried his wife that fic still held the check. "What check?" asked Mr. Clenaghen. When shown the note and check, he stated positively that he- had never before seen tho check or note, and knew no-Thomas 3. Williams. Except for the signature of Williams the writing on both documents is eay and well-curved, but . with a strong similarity which the writer had evi dently tried to overcome by occasion ally stopping his pen to make an ar bitrary and unnatural formation. The namo of Thomas B. Williams does not appear In the city directory, and he Is unknown at the First Na tional Bank.. Three Thomas William are listed in" the directory, however.
