Those who had neglected to trder Mongolian pheasants for yesterday's dinner, until reminded by a paragraph In. The Oregon Ian that they would be on market yester day morning, "got left." Several hun dreds of pheasants arrived, but were all sent out to All orders before housekeepers started out to do their marketing. The price paid for them ranged from $L25 to $L50 per pair. A much larger number of pheasants will probably come In today, as It Is .not to be supposed that any would be shipped which were killed before No vember 15. As one dealer remarked, the farmers as a rule are very particular not to violate the game law, especially in re gard to marketing pheasants. A man who thinks It no sin to 'place a joint of old stovepipe in the center of a box of apples would no more sell a pheasant shot before November 15, than to cut his head off. To those who have a desire to find out what Mongolian pheasant tastes like, it can only be said, "send In your orders to your market man early and often, be tween now and December 1." To Attend Good Boads Convention. County Judge "Webster will go to Salem next week to attend the Good Roads Con vention, and while there will probably make an address in favor of a thorough fare from Protland to the California line and advise that the road authorities In California be asked ten complete it to San Francisco. Judge Webster is much Inter ested In good roads and has made road building considerable of a study. He first spoke of the desirability of a road to the California line last summer. The idea Is to build a macadamized road 60 feet wide so that an automobilist, a bicyclist, or persons with teams may journey to the (xoltlen Gate without having to travel on a railroad. Each county is to build a share of the road, so that the state at large will not have to pay for the same. Didn't Take His Hat Off. "''Hats off. gentlemen," observed a Third-street busi ness man, as he stepped into a passenger elevator cage in a down town business block yesterday. It was noticed that he was accompanied by a younsr woman. Two men In the crowd did not doff their oats, and when the party had reached the ground floor, one elderly citizen turned around to the woman's escort and said: "Pardon me, but I want to explain why I didn't take my hat off in that elevator cage. I do not want to suffer from a cold In my head, as a result of standing like an old fool In a draft, with my hat off. It is not a question of gallantry at all. It's a question of common sense. Never doff your hat In an elevator cage, young men. Better be free from pneumonia than a dead hero." Funeral or Sergeant IAutenschlae gek. The funeral of Sergeant George Lautenschlaeger, of Company G, Second Oregon, was held yesterday at Dunnlngs chapel, 414 East Alder street Rev. Y7. S. vjuuuiL, ex-cnapi&in, conducted a toucn Ing senrice. Many of the comrades of the dead volunteer were present, including the commander of the Second Oregon Regiment, Colonel Owen Sommers.

Pietch, who has been running the restaurant In the Qulmby House, was arrested on the street yesterday for insanity. He was released from the asylum recently, but apparently the cure was not permanent. His first fit of Insanity was of a peculiar form. He hired an express wagon one morning, and drove around to all the news stands, buying up all the magazines In sight. After he had a good load he drove back to his restaurant and piled the magazines In the front of the room and as every cus tomer left he handed him a, couple. Mr. Bex C.

Charter Amendments May Put La borers Off Civil Service Basis. The probable result of proposed charter amendments Is that city employes In the labor class will no longer be engaged on a civil service basis. The cases heard re cently by the Civil Service Commission wherein a laborer discharged from his department appealed to the Commission ers for reinstatement has given fresh im petus to the movement to abolish the labor service, so that city employes of that class will no longer come under the civil service rules. Mayor Williams a few days ago ad dressed letters to the various department heads asking whether, in their opinion, civil service had been a benefit- Chief Campbell replied that In the fire depart ment It had proved a great benefit. City Engineer Elliott wrote that In the cleri cal branches of his department an im provement had been noted. It is held that laborers cannot be properly placed under civil service regulations, and It is probable that the Legislature will be asked to amend the charter so that no examination for such positions as street cleaners, reservoir workmen and similar classes will be necessary- Thlrty-three firemen were given a writ ten examination for positions as captains and lieutenants yesterday afternoon. These aspirants were not required to take separate athletic tests. The questions given by Secretary McPherson were on subjects of which an intimate knowledge Is necessary to those holding the posi tions. For instance, the words in the spelling test were those most frequently used in making reports. ARRESTED P0R ASSAULT. Tlmberman Uses His Fists, and Is Promptly Taken Into Custody. On information filed in the District At torney's office yesterday, a warrant was Issued in Justice Reld's court for the ar rest of J. A. Buckley, a tlmberman, on the charge of assault and battery. Coming down on the boat from La Camas yesterday. L- L. Leadbetter, a brother of F. W. Leadbetter, between whom and Buckley there had existed some 111 feeling, made a statement con taining some remote reference as to the cause of the trouble. Buckley, however, took exception to this statement, and used his fists freely to show his dis pleasure. Upon reaching Portland, Leadbetter swore to the . information causing' the ar rest. Buckley was released on ball, S. Benson, a prominent logging man, being his bondsman. The date of trial is set for November 26. DESIRE TO BUILD BRIDGE.

Eugenie Thais Law ton Lady Harburg Miss Alfa Perry Nora Vlnlng Miss 'Virginia Brlasac White Whittlesey and his company appeared at the Marquam last night In John Drew's recent success, "The Seo ond in Command." The play is a beau tiful one, simple, full of heart and Interest-compelling. It Is English and military. In that it action occurs at the period of tlg Bper war, the men are uniformed and th action takes place in and about the home station of a BritiBh regiment, but it is as far from the melodramatic as could be and war's wild alarms are but iinuy suggested, ino piot is arawn with much fidelity to fact and the dia logue is finely written. Mr. Whittlesey appears to even better advantage as Major Bingham than he did as Temple In "Heartsease." He seems to clutch the playwright's idea firmly and hre gets the best possible re sults from his acting, chiefly because he never rants. His dignity of poise and repression In voice, and expression of face and gesture are admirable. Other members ofthe cast are uni formly good. Miss Law-ton appearing to better advantage than In the former bill and Mis Brlssac's handling of the Ingenue role being particularly de lightful. John Sampolis does very well as Colonel Anstruthers. Carl Yoho as the solicitor makes a great deal of a small Part, and Henry Lewellyn and Harry Byers do their bits splendidly. The audience was larger than on the previous night, and a return engage ment should fill the house. A. A. G. LAYS IT TO CLOUDBURSTS. Seiner Says They Are to Blame for Scarcity of Salmon. Cloudbursts are cited as the true cause of scarcity of salmon in the Columbia, by a lower river seiner, who was in the city yesterday, but declined to let his name be used for publication. The seiner said that cloudbursts were so frequent on the upper streams that the river was "like Ink" for weeks. Impregnated with brick-clay and alkali and "few salmon would nose Into such water -at alL" "The fish would come up to the mouth of the Columbia on flood tide," said he. "but would go back on the ebb when the river water swept down on them, This was" during the months of July and Au gust and gillnetters made large catches at the mouth of the river as far as the salmon would come up, or as far as Sand Island. Above that point there were few fish." The speaker went on to say that the reason alleged for few salmon at hatch cries, namely, fishing past the closed season. Is "all bosh." Said he: "In my opinion those cloudbursts were tho sole and only reason for scarcity ot eggs at the Chinook and Kalama hatcher ies, which did as well as in former years, for the river cleared up about August 10 and the fKh run fairly well up as far as Kalama. But about September 1 another cloudburst occurred on the upper river and the fish were stopped again from reaching the hatcheries on the upper rivers. But for these cloudbursts I be lieve there would have been plenty of fish for all and hatching purposes as welL "I think there should be a closed sea son in the Spring, say to May IS, so we can propagate early spring fish as has been done with the summer run. If we make the closed season up to June 1 the fish that, enter the river up to, say May 15 will be all caught by the up-river gear as It takes the fish about fifteen days to reach the up-river gear. "A dead .line should be established near tho mouth of the river where there are several channels for the fish to enter and no fishing should bo allowed below such dead line. As the pounding of the sand by the seas rolling in at the mouth Of the river keeps the water rolled and glllnets fish day and night, and as there Is only one? channel for the fish to enter the river the fish are not allowed enough chance to enter." RECRUITING STATION OPENED Young Men to Be Enlisted in the Country's Navy. A naval recruiting office, in charge of Lieutenant J. A. Schofield, was estab lished yesterday In rooms 202-20S Qood cough building, and will remain open for the acceptance of recruits until Decem ber 24- Thls office will be the chief recruiting station, but during its existence substa tions will be opened for shorter periods of time in Astoria, Belllngh&m, Roe burg, Everett.

Almost all trades are represented In the Navy, but machinists, blacksmiths, cop persmiths, bollermakers and electricians are particularly wanted at this time. REMONSTRANCES CIRCULATED. First-Street Bridge Across Marquam Gulch Causes Diversion. Remonstrances against the First-Street bridge across Marquam Gulch are being circulated throughout the large assess ment district. The contention Is made that the assessments are not distributed equitably that much property decidedly benefitted by the bridge has been as sessed very lightly, and that some as sesments have been cut down without apparent reason. These remonstrances may be signed at 574 First, S01 Front, 728 and 1062 Corbett streets. WHEREJTO BINE.
