When the Willamette Has -Fbozek
Up. H. A. Davis, who "was a clerk In a
Etore on Front street a sood many years
ago, but who has lor a long time resided
in Boi6e, was in town yesterday on a
flying1 business trlp and took a stroll
down Front street to see how many of
the names on the signboards wero famil
iar. He- found several, and met an old
acquaintance and had a chat about old
times not exactly the "good old Summer
days," but about onev"Winter when the
river was completely frozen up and all
navigation stopped. As there was no out
let by rail In those days, and the steam
ers were all tied up, there was practically
no business doing. About all the business
houses in town were on Front street be
tween Couch and Ash, and the business
men and their employes used to take
turns at staying home and attending all
the stores, while the others went skat
ing. The railroads are likely to prevent
a recurrence of such a holiday, but it
will be remembered that a train was once
fenowed in near Vlento for 25 days, and
then the passengers had to shovel them
selves out. "
Has Turned From 'hardware to
Fruit. G. J. De Hart, formerly of Hon
eyman & De Hart, but now a fruitgrower
at Medford, is in the city with his fam
ily on a short visit, and will leave for
home tomorrow. Some three years ago
Mr. De Hart disposed of his business in
terests here and purchased the Stuart
fruit ranch at Medford, his family desir
ing a change of climate. He has pros
pered very well in his new business and
ships a dozen or more carloads of apples,
etc, yearly. He Is loud in his praise ol
the delightful climate of Medford, which
has restored perfect health to his fam
ily, who, as he says, fairly live outdoors
all Summer. He frankly admits, however,
that he occasionally pines for the com
pany of his old business associates and
friends here. The "Winters he spends in
Southern California, and so sees nothing
of the rainy season or "Winter of Oregon

Mare Which Plats Elevator Bor. A
mare owned- by A. Hamilton, and em
ployed in operating' an elevator at Second
and Ankeny streets, is a more than ordi
narily intelligent animal, and her owner
la very proud of her, and never weary of
showing off her smartness. She operates
the elevator without a driver, starts and
stops at the sound of a bell, and, when
the car Is down and catches, she turns
around and waits for the bell to start it
again. She has had more experience than
most elevator boys and attends more
strictly to business. She worked some
time at the United States Mills, and never
has the elevator been at the top of the
shaft when it should be at the bottom, or
vice versa, as elevators often do.

No Market for French Prunes. An
agent for some California prunegrower
has been canvassing the dty for several
days, trying to sell small French prunes
put up in neat pound packages. They ap
pear to be very good prunes of the kind
and he offers them at 5 cents a pound, or
to dealers at a rate which will enable
them to be sold at that price. He, how
ever, finds few buyers, as there is prac
tically no demand for Petite prunes here,
and on this account most Oregon prune
growers have cut down and destroyed
any trees of this kind they had planted.
The largo Italian prunes are the only
ones kept for sale by dealers, the choicest
retailing at three pounds' for 25 cents, but
in bulk they sell for less, and the smaller
sizes, which are larger than Petite?, can
be bought at 5 cents, or by the quantity
for even less. Under these conditions it
appears hopeless for California to try to
find a market in this state for their little
French prunes, even when put up in con
venient pound packages, at a cost which
must form a considerable percentage of
the value.
Goat Fools the Doocatcher3. While
the pound deputies were driving about in
the dog-wagon a few days ago in the
vicinity of East Thirteenth and Pino
streets, a goat that had been making a
nuisance of himself appeared, and the
deputies undertook to catch him. The
got out their dognets and chased the
goat for quite a while, but failed to catch
the frisky animal, much to their disgust.
Scarcely had the deputies got on their
wagon preparatory to driving off when
the goat came skipping up and gave a
bleat at the wagon. This was a sort of
challenge to come and catch him, and the
men started after the goat once more. He
led them a merry chase, keeping Just far
enough out of the way to prevent the dog
net being thrown over his head. Finally
he led one of the men who was after him
on a lot where a fill had been made. The
deputy plunged after him, and went floun
dering down in the soft dirt several times
before he could get across the lot. The
goat, having had all the fun he wanted,
disappeared and was seen no more.

Junkdealer for $525, and the old craft is
now out on the ways in Supple's boat
yard, whero the purchaser is having he.
broken up to get the metal out of the hull.
Her timbers are in good condition. Her
hull was covered with 'copper sheathing
below the water line, a metal which is
very valuable, and all the fastenings are
copper. The boat was built in San Fran
cisco nearly S5 years ago for a whaling
company, but was sold to' the Govern

Fatrview People are Enterprising.
The people of Fairview are full of local
pride. When Rev. W. T. Scott Invited the

MIXSELL MUST LEAVE
BIS PASTORAL RELATIONS WITH
OREGON CITY ARE DISSOLVED.
Presbytery Decides In Executive Ses
sion That Best Interests of All
Concerned Require Change.
That the pastoral relations now exist
ing between Rev. Frank H. Mixsell and
the Oregon City Presbyterian Church be
dissolved; that tho present elders of that
church cease to act, such action to be
effective October. 81; that Rev. Henry
Marcotte have charge of the congrega
tional meeting to elect new elders, and
to act as moderator of the church ses
sion until the next meeting of the pres
bytery in April. 1505, at Tualatin Plains
Church, Washington County.
Such was the resolution adopted at an
executive session of the Portland Pres
bytery yesterday afternoon, held in tho
Sunday school room in the basement of
the First Presbyterian Church building,
regarding the troubles which recently
afflicted Rev. Frank H. Mixsell 'and the
Oregon City Presbyterian Church, of
which he had been pastor.
Rev. W. C. Laube, pastor of the Beth
any German Church, was moderator, and
the session was attended by about 40
members of the presbytery. Rev. Mr.
Mixsell was an interested spectator.
Strenuous endeavors were at first made
to keep secret what transpired in the
meeting, and when an Oregonian reporter
had the temerity to send a written mes
sage to the moderator, in the course of
the afternoon, asking If any report would
be made public of the executive session,
a negative reply was received. It la.
known that the dispute between Rev.
Mr. Mixsell and the Oregon City church
was considered by the whole presbytery
in executive session, and that quite a
number of witnesses were examined for
and a gains the proposition that a
change in the pastorate would be bene
ficial. The familiar story was again threshed
out, that the young people connected
with the Oregon City church opposed
the proposal that Rev. Mr. Mixsell should
leave to become an evangelical mission
ary,!' and that the elders, representing
the older element in the congregation,
were willing that the minister should go
to another field of activity.
It is not known whether the star cham
ber session was a stormy one or not,
as the clerical party did not take the
newspaper men into their confidence, but
from a report furnished last night by
one of the ministers present at the meet
ing, the evidence heard . was not of a
disagreeable nature.
"Nothing was said that affected the
character of Rev. Mr. Mixsell or any
of the elders, or anyone connected, with
the Oregon City church," went oh this
minister. "The presbytery stepped Into
the breach at the right time, and has
brought the matter to an amicable settle
ment. Better to step in Just now, than
wait until there is any halr-pulllng.
Certain people expected something dis
agreeable at the session, but nothing of
this nature came before us, and the evi
dence was quite a surprise. The trouble
seemed a small one. But we think that
a change in the pastoral relations will be
beneficial, both to Rev. Mr. Mixsell and
the Oregon City church. Rev. Mr. Mix
sell is a young man and he can easily
get an appointment in this or some other
synod."
Overtures from the recent general as
sembly of the Presbyterian Church, look
ing to a union of the Cumberland Pres
byterians with the Presbyterian Church
In the United States, got an affirmative
answer from the Portland Presbytery
There was no discussion of or opposition
to the proposal, and the motion for amal.
gamatlon carried by a large majority.
At the last general assemblies of both
these denominations, agreements wero
made that if a. two-thirds vote be reached
by the various presbyteries of both
bodies, such action would be reviewed
at the next meeting of the general as
semblies in May, 1905. The regular Pres
byterians meet at Wlnina, IncL, and the
Cumberland Presbyterians in the South.

REPAIRS BEGIN AT ONCE
BREAKS IN THE COLUMBIA RIVER
JETTY TO BE QUICKLY FILLED.
Major Langfltt Reports That Tere
does Ate Into Piling Wasned
Away Near Shore.
Repairs -will begin upon the Columbia
River jetty, damaged in the storm ot
Monday, as soon as the condition of the
section lying between the two breaks is
ascertained.
ilajor Langfltt, head of the Government
engineering service here, has returned
from an inspection trip to the jetty.
"About 2000 feet of trestle work was
washed out altogether," said he yesterday.
"There were two breaks, each about 1CO0
feet Ion?. A section of 2000 feet Is between
them, and wo must first learn whether
this is safe before much can be done.
But repair work will quickly begin.
"There is no doubt but that teredoes ate
into the piles washed out at the break
nearer shore. I am now trying to obtain
a pile washed from the outer break, so
that wo can see If the teredoes were at
work there, too. The only explanation for
the appearance of tho teredo that I can
give is that the spits at the mouth of tho
river have shifted and the fresh water
now goes out more directly into the ocean
and does not strike the jetty as formerly."
The first break occurred nearly 3& miles
from shore. Beyond the second cut a .sec
tion of tho Jetty extends 7000 feet further
Into the Pacific. This portion is believed
to be entirely uninjured by the storm. It
was upon this section that tho six men
were isolated by tho storm and from
which they leaped into the surf their only
possible chance of rescue.
"Where the storm's waves cut into the
trestle work is cloao to the spot where
the now jetty leaves the line of the old
breakwater and runs due west. It Is al
most directly south ot the Fort Canby
lighthouse. Though the trestle work has
been washed out for a total distance of
2000, feet, the rock and sand forming tho
foundation of the breakwater still remain
as firm and secure as ever, bo that tho
purpose of the jetty" in deflecting the cur
rents is not interfered with. The track,
except upon the portions washed clean
away. Is uninjured, and trains will soon
be running.
Troubles of the Logscaler.
The official scaler of sawlogs, Bert Far
rell. was finding fault with his hard luck
yesterday because he was called In to
scale two large rafts of logs just when the
water in the river seemed wetter and
colder than usual, while for a long time,
when the weather was warm, nit a raft
had come to hand. His position Is not the
most agreeable in the land, for, while it
is not difficult to ascertain the number of
feet a raft contains by merely measuring
the length of the 4logs and the diameter
of their smaller ends the scale does the
rest there are so many things to bo con
sidered and passed upon to the satisfac
tion of both the logger and the mill man
who buys the. logs, that the scaler has
hard work to keep out of trouble. If
there Is a big knot or a gnarl- In a log,
the logger thinks it does no harm, while
the mlllman Imagines It will spoil half the
lumber in the log.' If there is a decayed
spot where a limb was broken off. or a
split in ono end of the log, the mill man
fears it is practically ruined, while the
logger laughs at this idea, and the unfor
tunate scaler, who has not X-ray eyes
and cannot seo through the log, has to
decide what allowance is to be made for
every perceptible defect In it, and in
trying to please both buyer and seller fre
quently pleases neither, and is found fault
with by both. However, as Scaler Far
rell says, life is full of trouble for some
people.
Great Slump In Cascara Bark.
Two settlers from"" the foothills of the
Cascades in Clark County, "Washington,
were in the city yesterday trying to sell a
large lot of cascara bark- They had been
expecting to et a good price for it, and
were much disappointed when they found
that there had been & slump and that the
price, -which had been from 6 to 6 cents
per pound, was now down to A cents. They
were told that a, much larger quantity
than usual had been peeled In Oregon and
that a still larger amount had been peeled
in "Washington, and the market was over
stocked, especially as but a small amount
has been peeled In Washington heretofore.
The fall In the price means a serious losa
to these two men, who with their families
have put In the whole season peeling
bark, and they were loth to accept 4 cents
a pound and said they would hold oh for
a while. It appears that the bark Is held
in stock by purchasers for two years, to
let age improve it, before It is manufac
tured into physic, etc. For some reason
the stock was allowed to become exhaust
ed, and a year ago there was a great de
mand and the prlco went up to 15 and
even 18 cents per pound. This caused sev
eral times the usual amount to be peeled
this year and sent the price down. "What
