RABBI FOR BETH ISRAEL
San Francisco Kcport That Jacob
Xicto Is Called Is Denied.
SAX FRANCISCO, Jan. IS. (Specials
Word has been received by men high In
Jewish circles in this city that Rabbi
Jacob Nicto, of the congregation Sherlth
Israel, Is the choice of the congregation
of Temple Beth Israel of Portland, Or.,
for that pulpit. The pulpit of Temple
Beth Israel was made vacant by the
resignation of Rabbi Stephen Wise, the
present pastor, who will leave for New
York, there to start up an Independent
Jewish church.
It Is understood that Rabbi Nieto will
receive a direct off or from the Portland
congregation within a short time, for his
fame has won him many friends" there.
Rabbi Nleto has occupied the pulpit of
the Congregation Sherlth Israel In San
Francisco for 13 years, and as a leader he
has made a host of friends. Through his
efforts the magnificent new temple at the
corner of California and Webster streets,
the finest -structure of Its kind anywhere
on the Coast, was recently completed. He
Is an advanced thinker and at his church
has been given a freo rein of speech.
Should he accept a call to Portland his
place In San Francisco will be difficult
to fill.
Rabbi Nieto said to a representative o
The Oregonlan that' he had received no
offer as"yet from the Temple Beth Israel
of Portland, and until the offer was made
he couldsnot tell whether he would ac
cept it. - "'I like San Francisco very
much," he said, "and hare a host of-vcry
dear. friend hero. My Wife's health Is
such thai it would take a very strong In
ducement for me to leave Not long ago
I received an offer to take a Chicago
pulpit at a large salary and refused it,
partly on her account. No,' X will not say
that I would go to Portland, for I have
received no offer and I could not speak
Intelligently until I was given notice."
Dr. Stephen S. Wise, rabbi of Temple
Beth Israel, when Informed of the con
tents of the foregoing dispatch, said that
no call to the pulpit of Beth Israel Con
gregation had yet been made by the
board of trustees.

Good Progress in the Matter of Se

tween Portland and Alaska .
Is Xow Bcportcd.
Encouraging progress In the matter of
securing a smelter and a steamship line
to Alaska for Portland was reported at a
meeting of the executive committee of the
Portland Board of Trade last evening.
The committee now has the smelter
project well In hand and Is gradually ob
taining an array of facts and figures
that. It Is believed, will assure the propo
sition the full support of the business men
of the city when It Is laid before them for
their consideration.
Yesterday the committee authorized
Secretary Laber to send out a circular
letter containing a complete prospectus
of the smelter company to every mining
company and prominent mlneowner in the
States of Oregon. Washington and Idaho,
asking support for the board In the under
taking, financially or In the form of as
surances of patronage. Accompanying the
circular letter Is a blank form for reply
which the mlneowners are requested to
fill In with facts and figures as to the out
put and character of their ores, the
amount of ore that would probably be
shipped each month to the smelter If built
here, and the shipping facilities that now
exist.
Will Have Tangible Basis.
When these returns are all In from the
mlneowners the committee believes the
Board will have something tangible upon
which to base its claims for financial aid
from the business community.
Among other Important matters dis
cussed was the need for irrigation and In
tensive farming In the Willamette Valfey.
and a resolution was passed asking that
the Irrigation Inspection division of the
Department of Agriculture send out an
expert to examine Into and report upon
Individual and isolated Irrigation projects
In the Valley.
Another resolution was passed Indorsing
Senator Fulton's attempt to secure an
assay office for Portland. The matter of
the Improvement of the Upper Willamette

What Oregon Breeders Have
Done in Ten Years.
DALLAS, Or., Jan. IS. (Special.) The
seventh annual Angora goat show for
Oregon opened this morning with a
larger number of goats on exhibition than

most of them are crowded. One hun
dred and seventeen animals were on ex

An Interesting feature the display are
the samples of mohair showing the re
sults that have been accomplished by the
Oregou growers In the last ten years In
breeding for-length and fineness of hair.
The samples of the early days of the In
dustry are short and coarse, while those
of recent years are fine, long and almost
entirely free from kemp.
Another feature of the show that at
tracts favorable attention and Interest la
the display of goods manufactured from
mohair. Rugs, cushions, car-seat plush
and cloth of the richest texture are In
cluded In this department and give an
excellent Idea of the many purposes for
which the fleece of the Angora Is used.
The Judges will bo appointed this even
ing, and will begin their work tomorrow
morning. The awards will probably be
announced early In the afternoon.
The display of swine and poultry, held
In connection with the goat show. Is up
to the usual standard of excellence. The
number of sheep on exhibition Is not as
large as usual. In the swlnc department

sonal injuries. April 7 last he alleges the
telephone company permitted a wire
stretched across the intersection of Pew
ell and East Twenty-third streets to hang

it could be struck by pascersby. Mr. Oat

and wagen when he came Into contact
with the hanging wire, and was thrown
from the wagoa. His coljar bone was
broken ana he was otherwise aerloasly In
jured, so he asserts. John R. Oatman and

"l won't sleep upstairs, " said Teddy-G,
"I want a window; T want to see
The moon go round and the trains go by
And the sun get up in the morning sky."
But Teddy-G didn't scare a bit;
He got out of bed and said he'd sit
Up all night like owl or cat
Before he'd sleep ou a shelf like that.
He'd help the porter to do the chores,
To answer calls and stop the snores,
To shine the shoes and tickets take,
And see that sleepers didn't wake.
