Mistakes Black Hog for Bear. V.
Schmidt and family have Just returned
from a sojourn of several weeks In camp
nine miles beyond Sandy. Mr. Schmidt
reported that the whole country Is filled
up with outliiR parties, camping on the
various streams of water. Mr. Schmidt
ays he caught 375 trout, and had a shot
at a big bear while out on his trip. The
bear came Into his camp at night, he
said, and hLs aim was very poor owing
to the darknessv but the next mornlner
the impressions of the bear's feet could
be seen all around the camp. A farmer
nearby accused Schmidt of shooting
the ear off one of his black hogs, and
wanted pay for the ear, but compromised
by accepting half a hundred trout. Mr.
Schmidt said that the surveyors of the
proposed Mount Hood railway are work
ing their way eastward.
L'OIIPORAb KRAZER ON RlFLP! TEAM.
The. name of Corporal F. R. Frazer, of
Salem, was added yesterday to the
list of riflemen who represent the Ore
gon National Guard at the forthcoming
National tournament at Sea Girt. N. J.
-Corporal Frazer was among those who
qualified at the recent competitive shoot
near Salem. Corporal U. S. Rider, one of
the successful marksmen, may not be
able to make the trip, in which event
another marksman will have to be named
In his place. The sharpshooters 'will
leave for American Lake Saturday on
the first section, which pulls out at 9:30
A. M. They will go into camp at the
Lake American rifle range, and will not
enguge In routine duties with their vari
ous commands.
Buildings STii,r, Stand. The buildings
on Union avenue, where the fill Is be- J
Ing made, have not yet been much af
fected by the weight of the embankment,
although the trestle on which the dump
cars travel has settled between flveand
six feet for a distance of 100 feet. The
settling Is mainly in East Stark street
and a little north of that street, evidently
an old channel. So far the foundation
timbers of the old East Side hotel build
ing have withstood the pressure, and
It Is thought that the building will not be
affected. But the real test will come
when the dirt begins to spread under
neath the tiotel and among the foun
dation timbers. "
Picnic at Hawthorne Park. The
Baptist Young People's Union of Port
land will picnic at Hawthorne Park to
morrow from S until 10 P. M. Members

will be games and music to add to the
occasion, and after the merrymakers
leave the park a trolley ride to Mount
Scott will follow.
Town Cow Probi-em. Residents of the
summit of Mount Tabor are anxious to
know when the pound limits are to be
extended to take In that section, which is
now a part of the City of Portland. E. M.
Stevens, a resident, says that cows roam
at will all over the country, day and
night. Mr. Stevens- reports that a police
man comes out to the summit several
times a week, takes some fresh air and
then returns, but the cows still roam at
their own sweet will.
Size of Schoolhouse Tripled. An
eight-room addition to the East Twenty
eighth street schoolhouse is nearing com
pletion. The building orlglnlally con
tained only four rooms when erected two
years ago. but was tilled to overflowing
the tirst year. There is no hope that
the schoolhouse will be ready for the
opening of school next month. Perhaps
it will not be completed before Decem

The Park Band, under the direction of
Conductor W. E. McElroy, discoursed
popular music at Hawthorne Park last
night to an appreciative audience. The
overture. "The Bohemian Girl," Intro
ducing "The Heart Bowed Down," was
well received, and the familiar songs,
"Then You'll Remember Me" and "I
Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls" swayed
the listeners into gentler moods. "The
Prince of Pllsen." a comic opera selec
tion, charmed them Into gayer feelings,
but it was "The Cavalry Charge" that
brought the listeners to their feet. This
selection was greeted with cheer after
cheer. The number is descriptive of a
battle, starting with the early morning
and the approach of the Infantry, the cav
alry charge, the cavalry. Infantry and ar
tillery in the heat of the battle, and end
ing with the defeat of the enemy and the
pursuit by the cavalry.
FANTAN GAME IS RAIDED
Detectives Break Into Chinese Game
and Arrest Players.
Acting Detectives Smith and Hill made
a good clean-up In Chinatown last night.
They broke into a fantan game upstairs
at Second and Alder streets, scooped up
$81, and arrested six Celestials -who were
engaged In playing. They were held on
bail of $50 each to appear this morning.
The wily Chinese have their spy system
down to a science now. Officers Smith
and Hill cannot make their appearance
along Second street without a scurrying
to cover of those who are playing fantan.
Under such circumstances the detectives
find it hard to catch any In the act of.
playing. Last night they outwitted the
almond-eyed fellows by climbing to the
roof from the rear, breaking open the
steel-barred skylight and dropping Into
the center of the room where the game
was being played.

DRESS TAKES FIRE,
Y DIE
Mrs. Edward Koehn Receives
Burns While Cooking Dinner
That May Be Fatal.
NEIGHBORS RUSH TO AID
Flames That Ignited Her Clothing:
Are Put Out by Wrapping Her
in Blanket Previous Ill
ness Bar to Recovery.
Mrs. Edward Koehn, a resident of Kan
sas City, Mo., was terribly burned and
will probably -die as the result of her
clothing catching fire while cooking din
ner for her husband at 5 o'clock yester
day afternoon near Milwaukie.
Flames from a kitchen stove ignited
her clothing, and it was several seconds
before she realized that her dress was
burning. Excited at the sight of the
fiame-s she ran from the house scream
ing for help and attempting to extin
guish the fire with her hands. Before
assistance could reach her, her hands,
face, head and body were -badly scorched.
Neighbors nj-y where Koehn and his
wife are camping succeeded in putting
out the fire by wrapping Mrs. Koehn in
a blanket and throwing water over her.
The victim of the accident was placed
on a Sellwood car and brought to the
city. She was taken In an ambulance
to Good Samaritan Hospital, where her
burns were dressed. Weakened by long
Illness and a not over-ftrong constitu
tion, it is thought that Mrs. Koehn will
not be able to survive.
Koehn brought his wife to Portland
last April with the hope that the climate
would benefit her. She has consumption,
and her husband established a camp near
Milwaukie that she might be in the
open air as much as possible. She was
recovering rapidly when the accident oc
curred yesterday afternoon.

A Thrifty Junkdealer
Turns on Gas
Contractor Bentley Lights Match
and Explosion That Kollowa
Singes His Eyebrows and Hair.
TWO industrious junkdealers grew
overzealous in their search for junk
yesterday forenoon, with the painful re
sult that Contractor Bentley is minus his
eyebrows, part of his hair and is nursing
bad blisters on both bands. Not that Mr.
Bentley's brows and looks were mistaken
for Junk. ' The tragedy unfolded In quite
another manner.
With that Indomitable energy that is
characteristic of their kind, the junkmen
were ransacking the building that is be
ing torn down where Juston's restaurant
once held forth, on Fifth street, between
Alder and Morrison. They had reaped
quite a harvest in brass wiring when they
came upon a set of gas pipes. It hap
pened that the gas had not been shut off.
Contractor Bent ley knew this. The Junk
men did not. When he saw them trifling
with it he shouted a warning and ran to
wards them. The gas was already escap
ing, and as the contractor leaned over5
to place a cap over the open pipe, one
of the junkdealcrs lit a match.
There was a puff that would have made
a decided hit on the Fourth of July. It
carried the contractor's eyebrows away
and singed him badly. The Junkmen took
to their heels and could not be located
afterwards. Bentley said he would feel
relieved if they should return and pay for
dressing his injuries.
Some one turned in an alarm of fire.
Station 1 responded. No damage waS
done except to the contractor.

ST. JOHNS COUNCIL- REJECTS
PHONE COMPANY'S OFFER.
In Addition, Ordinance Is Passed
Charging Company $50 a Month
lor Vse of Streets.
The St. Johns Council last night- re
fused to consider the petition largely
signed by residents and business men,
asking that the pending ordinance grant
ing the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
Company a franchise be passed, and in
addition thereto Instructed the City At
torney to draw up an ordinance requir
ing the telephone company to pa a
monthly license of $50.
. Councilman Norton brought the tele
phone company franchise before -the
Council, and the Recorder started to
read the petition, which contained 2S0
names, but this was omitted. Council
man Norton then addressed the Council,
remarking that the petition had been se
cured through misrepresentation, as it
asked the Council to give the company
practically a free franchise. He declared
that as long as he was a member he
would refuse to vote for a franchise
that did not carry with it a compen
sation of some sort. The city, he said,
had been asking the company to pay 2H
cents per telephone, an amount much too
small, and yet the company, wanted that
cut out.
Mr. Moore, representing the telephone
company, addressed the Council, and said
the petition before the Council repre
sented the wishes of the people regarding
the franchise, and that they wanted the
service improved.
By a unanimous vote the petition was
rejected. The franchise was for 21 years,
and a total compensation of $1700, the
first 10 years being free.
Upon the heels of the rejection of the
franchise Councilman Norton moved that
the City Attorney be Instructed to pre
pare an ordinance requiring the tele
phone company to pay $50 a month for
use of the streets of St. Johns. This
likewise received a unanimous vote.
Manager Hickman, who wag present,
said afterwards that the company col
lects $1S0 per month In St. Johns, and
nearly the whole of the Income is paid
out for operating and other expenses.
What franchise the company now has
In St. Johns it derived from the general
franchise given by Portfand. He ex
pressed hi9 opinion that the Council could
not collect $50 per month from the com
pany on the face of the franchise it now
holds.
In the matter of the Injunction against
the city and contractors on the improve
ment of Hayes street. Attorney Perkins
and City Attorney Greene Informed the
Council last night that owing to irregu
larities In the proceedings the city could
not make a successful defense against
the injunction. The City Engineer had
failed to post the proper notices at each
end of the improvement, and that would
invalidate the contract. It was the opin
ion of the attorneys, however, that some
arrangements could be made by which
the contractors would not suffer serious
loss. The City Attorney announced that
unless all proceedings relative to street
Improvement were submitted to him here
after he would refuse to be held respon
sible. There was a strong disposition to hold
City Engineer Goodrich and his deputies,
Scoggin and Elliott, responsible for the
trouble on Hayes street and several
other streets.
A remonstrance was filed against ac
cepting the pldewalk on Ivanhoe street
for the alleged reason It was badly put
down; also. Miss Cole put In a protest
against work done on Salem street.
Councilman King declared his opinion
that the City Engineer should be dis
charged and someone else employed, and
called attention to Irregularities of the
work done In his department, but no ac
tion was taken.
