THE MORNING- OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MAROH 21, 1905.
Friend of Wild
ERNEST THOMPSON SETON. the In
timate friend of the wild, delivered
bis illustrated lecture, "Wild Animals 1
Have Met' before two large audiences
at the Ma.rq.uarn yesterday.
The afternoon lecture was eEpecIally
well attended. It was set for o'clock,
which save the school children an op
portunity to hear the famous animal
stories, through which they know the
lecturer and author, at first hand.
Mr. Seton uses a large number of
stereopticon views, made from his own
photographs of big game and forest
fastnesses. It appears from the lecture,
that Mr. Seton'g experience has been
largely confined to the Canadian prov
inces, where he is at home. His stories,
as told from the platform, are similar
in kind to those in his books, -and he
tells them quite wclL Some are highly
amusing and others pathetic to .the
point of tears. He recounted tales of
daring adventure in the trackless
wilderness where the big game lives,
the incident of the killing of his last
moose being positively thrilling. It also
carried a strong moral on the wanton
ness of killing the magnificent rnon
archs of the forest
Mr. Seton's imitations of bird and
animal calls were novel and extremely
interesting.' As an entertainer Thomp
son Seton has had long experience and
knows what his public desires. He goes
in for simplicity and all of the children
who heard him were able to understand.
It was a decided treat for those Inter
ested in natural history and the char
acter of the audiences was the very
best.
ABOLISH THE BILLBOARDS.
W. C. T. U. Will Promote Sentiment
for General Civic Improvement.
Members of the County "Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union honored the mem
ory of Ncal Dow, the famous temperance
advocate and prohibition leader, at the
all-day institute held yesterday in the
First Evangelical Church. East Sixth and
Market streets, Mrs. Edith Whltesldes,
county president, presiding. The fore-,
noon was devoted to considering plans of
work and listening to tributes to the tem
perance apostle.
The principal topic of the afternoon was
civic improvement in the community and
in the home. State President Addlton de
livered a lecture on the subject.
"In all forward movements, HV- that
for civic improvement." saldihe state
president, "the "W. C. T. U.'"has usually
taken the Initiative, and to its credit be
longs the campaign against the hideous
billboards that desecrate our streets and
the natural scenery of the country. We
first recognized the evil suggestions of the
flaming pictures. Public sentiment is be
ing aroused to such a point that these
billboards must go."
In speaking of art, Mrs. Addlton said
It was within reach of all classes, and
should be uplifting, and declared that the
oldest and best examples of art were not
the nude.
"I would also purify the drama," said
the speaker, "so that It would be educa
tional. We must come to recognize it as
a mighty force for good. Pictures may be
uplifting. Parlor meetings for consider
ing civic improvement are helpful. The
school children arc to be encouraged to
develop a love for the beautiful, which
after all is the basis of civic improvement.
It is better to provide them with play
grounds than to look after them when
locked up in jail. Let us cultivate a love
for the beautiful, and do our part in
developing public sentiment in this direc
tion." Mrs. H. J. Shane suggested that vacant
lots in the city might bo used for gardens
and cultivation of flowers Instead of be
ing jumping places for rubbish. It was
also suggested that the school children
should be educated in the cultivation ot
flowers, and attention was called to the
free distribution of flpwer seeds.
As an illustration of what school chil
dren can do, Montavilla and Highland
were cited. Several speakers said that
children generally would gladly cultivate
flowers if given the opportunity to do so.
Attention was called to the practice of
scavengers dumping piles of tin cans and
rubbish along the Base Line and Section
Line roads, and especially on Mount Ta
bor, near Montavilla, where tons and tons
of rubbish have been hauled and dumped.
It was decided to start a vigorous cam
plgn for community and homo civic im
provement. The institute placed itself on rocord as
favoring the providing of places in Port
land where worklngmen and others may
get a drink of water. A member said she
had heard that it was the intention to
charge 5 cents for a drink of Bull Run
water at the Fair, and remarked that
ine W. C. T. TJ. should oppose such a
charge being made.
SELLS WITH A GUARANTY.
Joseph Paquet Gets Out of (Paying
for the Fill.
Joseph Paquet has sold to Nels Olscn
two lots fronting on the south side of
East Washington street, between Second
and Third, but does not know what he
will receive for the property until the fill
under way on this street Is completed.
It Is stated that the purchase price for
the two lots was 12100, and Mr. Olsen says
he has a guaranty from Mr. Paquet that
the fill in front of the two lots shall not
exceed 32000. and that If the cost run
above 52000, Mr. Paquet Is to pay the ex
cess. Under this contract Mr. Paquet Is
not sure how much he will get for the
lots, or whether he has made a present
of tho property to Olscn.
Whatever tho outcome will be. Mr.
Paquet says he prefers that Mr. Olscn
should get the lots than they should go
to the city for the coat of the embank
ment on East Washington street.
Mr. Oleen, the new owner, will remove
the old building standing on the ground
and yut up a structure 103x100. With the
removal of this building will pass one of
the pioneer landmarks on the East Side.
By the time the embankment on East
Washington street is completed nearly
all the unsightly structures on either side
will have disappeared.
MOSTLY REPUBLICANS REGISTER
Few Democrats Have Appeared at
County Clerk's Office.
About 13W electors have registered at
the County Clerk's office in the five days
that the registration books have been
open. Four-fifths of them are Repub
licans, thus showing that Democrats are
taking little interest thus far in their
conlng primaries, compared with their
Republican brethren.
A few electors have refused to declare
tnelr party affinity and therefore will be
barred from participation in the primar
ies. Some have refused because they
imagined that if they registered as Dem- j
ocrats they would be precluded from vot
ing for Republicans in the election June
C, jor If they registered as Republicans
they would be precluded from voting for
Democrats. This is not the case, for a
person need not register his party affinity
to vote in the election any more than
iMiforehe direct primary law became ef
fective. To urge registration of voters, a com
mittee was appointed last night at a joint
meetlngof the executive board of the
Republican and the Young Men's Repub
lican Clubs and precinct committeemen
of tho two -organizations. .

this afternoon and evening.
Dr. Patton is the home secretary of

Secretary of the American Board of
Commissioners for foreign Missions.
far. First, the wonderful readiness of
tho world for tho gospel at this partic
ular time. Second, tho wonderful readi
ness of the churches at home to meet
the new opportunity."
All frlGnds of missions arc invited

KEEP CELLAR DOORS CLOSED
Civic Improvement Board' Will Have
Clear Sidewalks.
The next steps to be taken by the Cham
ber of Commerce civic Improvement board
will be after the merchants and wholesal
ers who allow the cellar doors, which
open on the sidewalk In front" of their
places oT business, to remain open when
not necessary- They say that oftentimes
the doors are kept open all day, much to
the annoyance of pedestrians, when the
passages arc not used more than two or
three hours.
It is claimed that in most cases when
goods are moved into the cellar In the
morning through the opening in the side
walk and more goods are expected in the
afternoon, the doors are left. open. The
members of the board nav thev ham no
objection to the doors remaining open as t
long as at is necessary.
When you feel all tired out and broken
up generally, take Hood's Sarsapaxllla.
Interesting Talk
ENGAGE IN A GENERAL FIGHT
Sailors and Longshoremen Have
Trouble on Front.
The sailors who are loading the
barkentine T. P. Emign became in
volved in another quarrel with the
longshoremen yesterday with the re
suit that one member of tho Sailors'
Union and two of the Longshoremen's
Union were put under arrest. The
trouble satrtcd at Front and Burnsido
streets, near the headquarters of the
two unions and seems to have been a
sort of running fight up Burnside as
far as Third street. The sailors say
they were on their way from their
hall to the Portland mill when several
longshoremen attacked them. The lat
ter assert that the sailors were the
aggressors. No blood was spilled,
tnought the mix-up was a general one.
The combatants were soon separated.
On complaint of the longshoremen, S.
Nelson, a sailor, was arrested on a
chargo of disorderly conduct. Agent
D. W. Paul furnished the bail on which
he was released. The sailors then
turned the tables on their opponents
and Charles Buck swore to a warrant
accusing Andy Madsen, secretary of
the Longshoremen's Union, and John
Murphy, another longshoremen, with
assault and battory. These men were
also released on cash bail. All of them
will have a hearing in the Municipal
Court this morning. Buck was arrested
last Friday for drawing a revolver on
a party of longshoremen at the Port
land mill and his case will also be
heard this morning.
WILL TAKE UP LAND FRAUDS
Federal Grand Jury Will Reassemble
In April.
The long lull that has been hanging
over the Federal building is about to be
broken and In a short time the corridors
will echo to the tread of land fraud wit
nesses and hear again the edicts of the
Federal grand jury.
Francis J. Heney, United States Dis
trlct Attorney, has reached San Fran'
cisco from Washington and will remain
there for a few days attending to- the
accumulation of private business that has
piled up since he was appointed to take
charge of the investigation into the Ore
gon land frauds.
The grand Jury will reassemble on Sat
urday April 1 for the land fraud invest!
gallons. During the time the Jury has
been adjourned T. B. Neuhausen has
been delving into the evidence being
gathered by the Government and now has
on hand a mass of material which must
be sifted and arranged before it is ready
to present to the jury. For this reason
it will be necessary for Mr. Heney to
be in Portland three or four days prior
to the assembling of the jury In order
that he may get a line on the work done
in his absence. He Is therefore expected
to reach Portland either March 27 or the
day following, to take up the last end
of the work to be done by the Govern
ment, as far as the investigations are
concerned.
IS OPPOSED 'TO ANNEXATION.
Mount Tabor Objects to Part of Dis
trict Being Taken.
Since the residents of that portion of
Mount Tabor, affected by the annexation
bill, which only takes in part of the
school district, learned that they had no
vote one way or the other, sentiment
against annexation to Portland has been
growing to a considerable extent. Another
objectionable feature Is that while a large
portion of the district is taken Into the
city the district itself remains indepen
dent and outside, the same as it now
stands. In the Mount Tabor District No.
5 are -now three school buildings, and 550
papilsattend. Two classes graduate each
year, and a percentage of the grammar-
grade graduates attend the Portland High
School, and the Portland Board of Edu
cation may charge all outside pupils tui
l "f Mojint Tahor should ha
n"W under the present bill the tuition
to the High School would remain the
same as It is at present. However,
whether part of the district Is annexed
to Portland depends on how the people
of Portland vote on the subject. C. H.
Welch, who lives In part of the district
left out, said yesterday that the present
plan of annexation was not satisfactory
to a great many with whom he has talked.
'We should all come In, or none, says
Mr. Welch.

SHERIFF WILL SUE THE COUNTY
Word Determined to Have Guards
Paid -for Their Work.
Sheriff Word says he will sue Multno
mah County to recover J SCO with which to
pay Jasper Fuller, the guard In the War
wick Club; George Wise, who acted as
guard in the Portland Club In January
last, and several other bills in connection
with gambling raids. Tho County Court
recently declined to pay the bill on the
ground that there was no law authorizing
the payment of guards, in gambling-
houses. Judge Webster says if the Sher
iff finds it necessary to close gambling
houses he can do so by locking the doors.
Sheriff Word says he has instructed his
attorney, Henry E. McGinn, to prepare a
complaint against the county for the
amount due.
He states that he has caused tho gam
blers to pay fines aggregating over 53000.
and the county can therefore well afford
to pay this bill. Judge Webster's answer
simply is that there is no law for It
Big Rush of Colonists.
Transportation men representing the
various lines-having agencies in Portland
are astonished at the weight of the colo
nist movement now for several weeks in
force. One man, who was yesterday In
Portland, had just brought one excursion
to the Coast, and In discussing the sub
ject estimated that an average of 100 per
sons a day had been brought to Portland
since the opening of the rate, and this
takes into consideration but one train of
one line.- Estimating that each train over

calculated that more than 7500 persons will
have been landed in Portland alone by the

If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the
game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy
ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reason
able amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the
health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's
improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches,
etc. It is all-important, however, in selecting a laxative, to
choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever pleas
ant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effect
ually, when a laxative is needed, withoufany unpleasant after
effects, as it acts naiurallv anrl orpnflv

griping, irritating, or debilitating the internal organs in any way, jf ' Jl
iu il cuutains nouung or an oDjecnonaDie or injurious nature.
As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manu
facture, of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most
beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their
general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth con
sidering in making purchases.
m It is because of the fact that SYRDP F FIGS
is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by
physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well
informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain
quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a
bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a
laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the
