dozen aspirants are seeking the favor of
the new Board of Fish Commissioners,
to ho composed next January of Secre

Sieel and Governor Chamberlain.
Control of the commission wiil pass into
the hands of Benson and Steel, from
Those of the present Secretary of State
I". I. Dunbar and the present Treasurer.
C. S. Moore. Governor Chamberlain, as
n Democrat, will continue to be the
minority member, the two other members
being Republicans. Still, his favor is
pouKlit, too, since he and either Benson
or Steel might combine to name the new
warden.
Likewise H. A. Webster's job of Dep
uty Warden, salary tliv.) plus $TA ex
penses, is sought by a number of as
3'lrnnts. Foremost of the candidates for the
J2"i place are H. (i. Van Dusrn, of
Astoria, desiring reappointment, after his
live years of service.
James V. Campbell, of Oregon City,
member of the Lower House of the Legis
lature for Ciackainas County.

Charles Babcock, of Oregon City.
All these men are hoping to sufceed
Van Dusen, Including Mr. Van Onsen
lilinseli, and -while the five others do not
exactly say that thy are working to
decapitate him, it is plain that they are
not striving to save him from a decapi
tating ax.
That A'an Dusen's troubles are consid
erable, goes without saying. Numerous
lishmen up and down the river, especially
uliove tidewater, are working for his
Tcmnvnl. Still, he lias strong influences
behind him. and they are working on
Jtonson and Steel. Between the two
Fets, the new members of the commission
are kept busy.
Aspirants ior the place 'of Deputy
Warden are: William Mark, now depu
ty warden In Portland; William Smith,
of Oregon City, now water bailiff under
Van Dusen; and Frank C. Brown, super
intendent of the Ontirio hatchery.

UNICIPAt, IMPROVEMENT is a
jject that the elite seldom care
meddle in. It is too material
to be in good taste. Hut regardless of
the subtler ethics of the thing. Oak street
fashionables have interested themselves
In the idea and intend to do their share
in aiding municipal betterment.
To this end a special campaign was
planned yesterday forenoon, when eight
Oak-street notables met with Mr. Cameron
ti'.id discussed the subject in its various
phase. Mr. Fred Killings, president of
Billings & Co.. boozotifvhiors, was selected
chairman. Others present were Messrs.
William Fitzpafrick. Fred Cunningham,
J. II. McCann. 1j. Harris. Frank Ingram.
T. Hanson. M illie Gaston. James Corbett
and I. r. Page. The. subject of the day
was immediately taken up.
It was Mr. Billings' idea that Portland
phottld strive to become the greatest mu
nicipality on eartli and he thought this
could be achieved by
the establishment of
free breweries at
onvenient public
places. The others
greeted this sugges
tion with cnthusi
psin. Mr. Harris
lidded that another
good inducement for
increasing the popu
lation would be to
offer semi-annual
prizes of, say Stwo.

t o complete the
period with the smallest possible ex
penditure of physical energj .
Mr. Cameron, however, was inclined to
look at the situation in a more conserva
tive light. Ho took no stock in the idea
of Increasing the population. In fact,
lie took the peculiar stand that a re
duction of population would be the great
est factor in bettering the social and in
dustrial conditions, and suggested that
the crying need of the day was a shorter
mute to the city limits. The others
eventually came to agree with him-and
unanimously passed n resolution which
provided lor a new survey to be made
bv the committee. Shortly before noon
they left en masse to take up the task
of finding the shortest route,, departing
in the direction of St. Johns.
THOS'S unaccustomed to Oak street's
lavish splendor will no doubt think it
n cruel waste of money for one young
bachelor to occupy apartments the rent
of which amounts to $:iti. r-eo. Yet such
FUites are frequently and extensively used
In the local fashionable realm, indicating
that Oak-street society is quite up t,
the standards set ly the New York, 40J,

Frank, the crack local boy in the Im
pound class. Frank conceded five
pounds' weight to. any opponent the
Seattle club might select rather than
win the match by default, or be com
pelled to meet . an inexperienced
wrestler. Sandy Swanson Is the name
of the n,ewly discovered wonder, but
It is doubtful whether he ran make
much of a showing against Frank even
with five pounds the best of it in
weight. Frank is perhaps the best
wret'tler that ever represented Mult
nomah Club In his class, and has had
considerable experience. He holds the
championship of the Pacific Coast at
123 pounds.
CHINESE PLAY MACHINES
Xickcl Ievkes Which Police Io Xot
Molest Supersede Fautan.
The police have become so active in
Chinatown that the Chinese, .fearing
arrest should they be found in a Ram
bling establishment in the district,
have resorted to all kinds of devices
to gratify their passion for gaming.
Fnntan and lottery, the great games
of chance with the Orientals, have
been completely abolished and in their
stead have come other forms of amuse
ment, which the police declare art
also forms of gambling.
While the police are active in
Chinatown, have closed up racing
clubs, and have directed their atten
tion vigorously toward the "moraliz
ing" of the city, the festive nickel-in-the-slot
machine runs on in every sa
loon and cigar store in the town. The
Chinese, by scores, have come to re
gard this "device as the safest form
of gambling at present and are drop
ping their nickels merrily.
When fantan and lottery frames
were placed under the ban by the po
lice, and raids became too frequent,
the Chinese, by the advtce of an at
torney who wishes to graft $2030 a
month for alleged police detection,
shifted to quiet little games of dom
ino and authors, with no money ill
sight on the tables, but with matches
and cigars for stakes. The mysteri
ous would-be grafting attorney, the
police have learned, gave out' the word
to the Chinese Saturday to open their
games of domino, sayinjc that he had
"squared'" things. That night three
raids were made by Serfreant of De
tectives Baty and members of the
plain-clothes squad, and the opening
night was a big- failure.
The police declare that they do riot
hope to stamp out gambling In China
town, as it is a characteristic of the
race to pramhie. One of the most pe
culiar games in Chinatown now' is
played with cube sugar. Any number
of Chinese can play at a game. They
seat themselves around a table, .each
having ?. cube of sugar in front of
him. They can play with money In
sight, as they chor.se. The players sit
stil as mice. The man who wins the
money is he on whose cube of sugar a
fly first lights.
LET OFF WITH LIGHT FINE
Adventurous Portland Boys Will
Continue Expedition lo Alaska.
Rev. C. F.. Cline received word yes
terday that his son. Thomas D. Cline,
Martin Royce and C. B. Stipe, Portland
boys, who were arrested at Victoria
with their little sloop Reginald for
failure to carry clearance papers, had
been let off with a fine of $f0. Favor
able action was secured through the
aid of General Owen Summers, of
whose regiment Cline was a member
in the Philippines; Mr. McPherson, a
member of tho Canadian Parliament,
and Colonel Rudley, the American con
sul. The boys left Portland July 18,
and cruised up the coast until arrested
in 'Canadian waters by the warship
Kestrel August 21. The Reginald was
restored to them by the Ottawa gov
ernment and they, will continue their

LONG REGQRD HERE
J. B. King, Housetop Burglar,
Makes Confession.
ROBBED STREETER'S HOUSE
Says lie Had Two Pals, But W ill Xot
Give Their Xanies Did Time
In Washington State
Penitentiary.
A confession made by J. B. Kins to
the police yesterday clears up several re
cent burglaries In Portland, as the bur
glar himself admits that he and his
"pals" turned the tricks. King was cap
tured on the roof of the home of R. F.
Prael. TO.North Twenty-first street, early
Sunday evening nd is npw held pending
the action of the District Attorney.
Efforts of the police yesterday to secure
from King the names of his burglar com
panions proved futile, as he steadfastly
refused to divulge them, but the detec
tives hope to secure the names later. It
Is believed now, however, that both men
have fled the city; and an effort is being
made to effect their capture elsewhere.
To Capta-n of Detectives Patrick Bruin
King confessed that he and his "pals"
robbed tiie home of W. B. Streeter on
Portland Heights and several others
which the police decline to make public
at present. As PJurglar King was cap
tured by Mr. Prael, the latter is entitled
to the reward of $50 offered last week
"by Mr. Streeter.
As published in The Oregonian yester
day morning. King is an ex-convict and
an all-round criminal. His mother lives
in Tacoma, and King is well known there,
as well as all over the Northwest. He
has served time In the Washington Peni
tentiary for burglary. He is known to
have robbed several small establishments
in Portland recently, but the police de
cline to give out the facts In this matter.
The police are elated over the arrest
of King. He has made lots of trouble
for the department for the past few
weeks, and Captain Bruin stated yester
day that he looks for a breathing spell
In crime now, with King In jail and his
"pals" out of town.
King is the sixth burglar taken into
custody in Portland within the past three
weeks. . Besides the burglars, two purse
snatchers and two forgers have been
captured, which is a record Eeldom made
in the police department.
TO BUILD FREIGHT SHEDS
POKTXAXD & SEATTLE ILIi LET
CONTRACTS NEXT AVEEK.
Shels to Re 1000 Feet In Length
Each and Cost in the Neighbor
hood of $125,000.
Contracts will be awarded during the
coming week for the construction of two
mammoth freight houses in Portland for
the Portland & Seattle Railway on the
new Hill terminals In North Portland.
The two structures will be modern In ev
ery way and will be far ahead of any
similar houses In Portland. They will
equal anything of their kind on the Coast.
The two freighthouses will cost in the
neighborhood of $125.0U0. Work will be
commenced soon after the contract is
awarded and it is planned to have them
ready for use by the time the Portland
& Seattle completes its line into Portland.
The structures are to be of the same
type as the Seattle freighthouses of the
Great Northern. They will be erected
on the Portland & Seattle's tract be
tween Hoyt nd Lovejoy streets on
Tenth.
Plans that have been drawn for the
freighthouses show they will each be
,TS0 feet long, by 60 feet wide. They will
be one story, with a two-story office at
the end of each," 200 by 50 feet, making
the total length 980 feet. Platforms will
be built with tracks for spotting cars on
one side of the buildings, and approaches
for teams on the other.
The houses will have piling founda
tions, with concrete prters set on clusters
of piles. The roof trusses will be sup
ported by steel columns. Roofs will be
of tar and gravel. The walls will be
largely steel rolling doors, together with
corrugated iron. The ends of the bulld
inss and firewalls will be of brick.
The bids are being handled by the en
gineering department of the Hill lines
at Tacoma. A number of Portland firms
are bidding on the structures' and the
results will probably be made known this
week.
TO BRING SETTLERS WEST.
Vnlon Pacific 31ay Create Depart
ment or Immigration.
The Union Pacific Railway may create
a separate tlepartment of immigration to
bring homeseeker.s to Oregon. R. 3.
Lemon, immigration agent of the Union
Pacific', with headquarters at Kansas
City, is now In Portland looking over the
territory, and if he fhinks it advisable he
will inaugurate a distinct campaign to
turn the tide of Immigration to the
Beaver State.
It is planned that he and others devote
their entire time in boosting' for Oregon.
Homeseekers In all parts of the East will
be sought out and told of the golden op
portunity that awaits them there. . Book
lets and exploitation matter will be issued
telling only of Oregon, and Oregon only
will be boosted by the contemplated de
partment if It is established.
Mr. Imun leaves immediately for Kan
sas City, but within about three weeks
I -A i
j r x . - i
l J. B. Kill. Burglar. J
will return to Portland. He has been in
Klamath .County, and upon his second
vlpiit to Oregon will visit several other
different parts of the state. Upon his re
ports depends whether the Union Pacific
will embark upon a large scale on the
bringing of settlers to the Beaver State.
"While Oregon la a long way off, if
a prospective settler comes out here he
means business," declared Mr. Lpmon last
night when seen at the Hotel Portland.
"The railroads are taking thousands of
settlers to the Southwest, such a Texas,
Oklahoma and Arkansas. Many of them
go there more out of curiosity than any
thing else, and, after having been there
a while, return to their homes. But let
a bomeseeker come way out to Oregon,
and if the proper inducements are offered
he will remain."
HARRIMAN "FAMILY" MEETING
Three Notable Gatherings of Offi
cials Here November 19.
November 19 will be the date of three
notable meetings of leading railroad; offi
cials of the entire Harriman system in
Portland. Presidents, vice-presidents and
general managers of the Southern Pacific
and Union Pacific lines will gather here
with Julius Kruttschnitt. director of
maintenance and operation. The meet
ing will be a "family" affair in which
improvements in management wil be dis
cussed and ideas exchanged with the ob
ject of bettering the service.
At the same time, superintendents of
motive power of the entire Harriman sys
tem will meet here to talk over their
own problems and to aid each other by
the exchange of ideas to solve their com
mon difficulties in the maintenance of
locomotives. Signal engineers of the Har
riman service will also meet in Portland
on the same date for the discussion of
questions in which they are interested.
Exchange Freight at Falrvlew.
A resident of Fairview says the spur
connecting the Cedarvllle branch of
the O. W. P., with the O. R. & N. Co.'s
main line at Fairview, will allow an
exchange of freight. A large amount of
stock feed is received at Fairview in
bulk for Gresham and other points,
and this may be sent over the electric
branch without first being sent to Port
land. Cars f-om the O. R. & N'. line
can be sent to any point on the O. W.
P. by means of this connecting spur,
and there vfll he a considerable sav
ing. The O. W. P. freight cars handle
produce, wood, lumber and railroad ties
in large quantities, and may be
switched on the latter's track at Fair
view and then sent to any point de
sired. It is thought this interchange
of business will make an important
center at Fairview.
Traveling: Agent Waite Resigns.
B. P. Waite, travelling freight and
passenger agent for tho Great North
ern, has resigned to enter other
business. He will remain in the
Third street office until his successor
Is named. Who this will be is not yet
known. Mr. Waite has been in the em
ploy of the Great Northern for the past
six years, succeeding Harry Green as
freight solicitor in 18P9. He is widely
known, not only in Portland but through
out the state, and many will regret to
see him leave the railroad service. It was
with extreme reluctance that William
Harder, general agent" for the Greet
Northern, accepted Mr. Waite's resigna
tion. Few railroaders along the row are
better liked than the retiring official.
Bis Order lor Railroad .Ties.
An order for 100.0CO railroad ties for
use on the Riparia-Lewiston extension,
which Is being constructed jointly by
the Northern Pacific and the O. R. & N.,
was placed yesterday by Richard Koehler,
purchasing agent for the Harriman lines
in this territory. Deliveries are to be
begun at once and the railroad companies
will supply cars so that 30i)0 ties may be
loaded daily. Five or six mills in the
Willamette Valley have been given the
contract.
Connavvay Quits Railroading.
Harry Connaway, city ticket asent for
the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad,
has resigned his position and will take
charge of a store in the Upper Hood
River valley. He leaves the railroad serv
ice today. Mr; Connaway has'been in the
service of the A. & C. for the past year,
prior to which he was in the employ of
the Southern Pacific as station agent for
15 years. He' has made many friends
while in. Portland, who regret to see him
leave -the city.
HOOD RIVER APPLES.
A Kcsidcnt or Hood Kivcr Will Al
low Xo Equals.
HOOD RIVER. Or.. Nov. 5. (To the Edi
tor.) With permission of the editor I would
like to answer a statement made by a Mr.
Lowensdale, of Lafayette, Or., in The Ore
gonian of Sunday, November 4., and at the
bamo time ask him a few questions.
Mr. LowensdaJe says that It is not gen
erally known that in two orchards In th
Willamette Valley there are more Spitzon
berps grown than in the entire Hood River
Valioy. 1 challenge our friend to prove his
statement.
He says that it is not generally known,
but Is nevertheless a fact, that one man in
the (entire) Willamette Valley has for a
number of years received Just the same
price for his apples as has the growers of
Hood River. That is an elegant showing.
Isn't it? One man out of possibly one
thousand, while in Hood River I believe I
can honestly say that our percentage will run
09 men out of every 100.
Mr. Lowenpdale also says that Just as
pood apples can be grown In the Willam
eti e Valley as can be In Hood River and
that In an experiment made with Willam
ette Valley apples, which were put in cold
fitorage in Hood River, it was found that
they would keep Just as well as tho.e grown
in Hond River. If this is a fact why haven t
the farmers of the Webfoot country taken
advantage of that experiment and by now
had their Immense valiey in bearing apple
orchards, whiph they could at any moment
sell at their own price.
Can the Willamette Valley farmers sell
Ms farming land at from 4( to $1000 per
acre? No! The Willamette Valley has, for
a number of years been at a Htandstlll, and
the littl valley of Hood River is pushing
more anil more to the front every day.
Tho people of tcday are of too Intelligent
a class to allow such a bonanza as we have
at Hood River slip through their flnpers.
Here I would like to ak Mr. Lowensdale
why a man that is looking out for the al
mighty dollar, as is the American of today,
will raise wheat at an average of 25 bushels
to the acre, which will bring him an aver'
go of 75 cents per bushel, and will bring
a gross Income of f 1 8.75 per acre, when he
can be raising apples on the same ground
thnt will net to him at the very lowest con
sideration $100 per acre?
Is It the nature of the American ?
Our friend Mr. Ijowensdale evidently does
not understand why Hood River apples are
such good keepers. It is not altogether the
apples, but the principal reason for It is
the climate we have, and for that reason
I am not at all surprised that when Wll
lamtte Valley apples were shipped to
Hood River and put In cold storage there,
they kept almost the same as do those grown
In the Hood River Valley.
I am proud of the chance to say that
there has not yet been a territory found
wher thr can be apples raised and kept
like they can in Hood River Valley.

ORDINANCE SE1 PUT OFF
T1IK STRINGING OF OVEKHEAD
WIRES STIL.Ii VXSETTIiED.
Ways and Means Committee Prom
ises Thnt Subject Will Be Taken
Up at Next Meeting.
In ppito of the protests of Attorney
Freeman, representing the Linemen's
Union. the ways and means committee
of the Council yesterday afternoon
postponed action on the overhead wire
ordinance for two weeks more. Such a
strong demand was made for the pas
sage of, the ordinance, however, that
the committee gave positive assurances
that action will be taken at the next
meeting. In the meantime, it was
urged that attorneys representing the
union and the corporations affected get
together dutl agree, if possible, upon
the provisions to be adopted.
Mr. Freeman told the committee that
the linemen are getting tired of the
delay, as the ordinance has been under
consideration for more than two
months, and that they would like the
ordinance either passed or given up
entirely. He said that Dan J. Malar
key, representing the Portland General
Electric Company, had offered to com
promise on the four-foot spacing pro
vision by allowing It to apply to all
poles except those bearing two cross
arms or less. This, however. Is not
acceptable to the linemen, who demand
that a space of four feet be left be
tween cross-arms bearing high-voltage
wires, and those carrying a lower
current. In all cases.
It was urged by Mr. Freeman that
the concession offered by the electric
company amounts W very little. Most
of tho poles bearing more tlan two
cross-arms are in the district to be
covered by the underground ordinance,
he said, and that very few changes
wuld have to be made by the company
if this concession were made. The
spacing in practically all of the resi
dence districts would remain as it Is
at present.
Girl Commits Dramatic Suicide.
MARION', O., Nov. S. In the pres
ence of a gatiierliig at the home of
Ernest Farrell, today. Miss Hilda Por
ter, aged li. announced that she was.
going to commit suicide. She then
locked herself in a room and cried:
"I am going to do it now."
"Go ahead; we are waiting," re
turned somebody from the porch,
thinking Miss Torter was joking.
Opening the door, the girl swallowed
a dracnm and a half of carbolic acid
in view of the men and women on the
porch and fell to the floor. Writhing
In agony, she murmured:
"1 did It for my sake, for his sake.
For God's sake, save me." She died an
hour later.
Walter Krouse, asred 20, Miss Por
ter's sweetheart, says the only reason
that he knows why she should take
her life Is that he bit her on the arm
and it made her mad.
Train Runs Away Three Hurt.
Three men who were badly Injured
In an accident two miles from Rainier
at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon were
brought to the Good Samaritan hos

class, but that the lure of the uniform is
great, and distracts aHentinn from the
ordinary citizen whos garb In unadorned

has petted the conqueror and tenderly

have had a desire to snip them from a
uniform.
