One thousand people were in attend inr Saturday evening at the annual jamp-meettng of the Seventh Day Ad-i-entists, which is in session near Anabel Station on the Mounc Scott carline. About S00 followers are encamped on the grounds in 200 tents arranged in orderly fashion in the wooks back of the main assembly tent. The services are being conducted by several noiea speakers, who have been presiding at a series of meetings held at Spokane. Se attle. Los Angeles and other points. These speakers are Elders F. W. Field, of Japan; J. N. Anderson, of China; G. I. Butler, president of the general con ference; J. A. Irwin, Will F. Martin and A. M. Smith, of Corea. In an ad dress last night.

The singing at the meetings is led by a chorus of 30 voices, led by G. E. Johnson. The meetings will continue until August 29. Chinese Held as Thief. Sam Hlng. alias Sam Lee. a Chinese. well known to the police, was arrested Satur day night by Detective Craddock at Sixth and Burnslde streets, on suspicion of hav ing committed larceny. The Celestial Is believed to have stolen two gold watches from the apartment of Dr. George W. Crockwell. in the Selllngr Hirsch building. Sam Hing. according to the Information given the police by Dr. Crockwell. visited the physician's of fice on several occasions, soliciting the doctor's cards for the purpose of dis tributing them among his countrymen. He declared he was in quest of a good doctor for sick friends, who had ex pressed a preference for a white practi tioner. The Chinaman was seen to visit the doctor's apartments one day when thev were unoccupied and when Dr. Crockwell returned the watches were missing. Opium was found on Sam when he was searched at the Jail and an ad ditional charge was placed against him on this account. Socialist Obator Arrested. William Boone, a Socialist orator who was ar rested some time ago on a charge of as sault and battery, but dismissed after a hearing, was arrested again yesterday afternoon on a charge of disturbing a re ligious meeting at Fourth and Salmon streets. H. L. Swan, a street preacher, on whose complaint. Boone was arrested, was also arrested on complaint of Boone on a charge of using abusive language. The trouble arose when Swan, who was preaching near the Socialist speaker, Joined with the Volunteers of America and claimed that Boone's peech dis turbed the meeting. An argument en sued and this gave Boone his chance to accuse Swan of abusive language. Swan lives at 366 First street and Boone at Stark street. Both were released on their own recognizance. Thet View Poorfarm Site. County Commissioners Barnes and LJghtner looked over their poorfarm purchase near Troutdale last Friday to select sites for the various county buildings to be con structed there and to estimate the prob able expense of making the farm ready for occupancy. The land Is in etumps, but they are not numerous and clearing can be done cheaply. Near the upper end of the tract Is a large spring, which will be of value In furnishing water for the buildings and for irrigating. Resi dents of the community are delighted at having the farm located in their midst. They call It the County farm Instead of the poorfarm. Small Fi res Easily Put Out. Two fire alarms were turned in yesterday, neither of which resulted In other than Blight damage. The first, at 3 P. M., was turned in at box 79.

EASTERN EXPRESS ON, TOO Will Handle Business Between Port land and Salt Lake Equip ment of New Chicago Train First Class. Promptly on. schedule time, at 6:4S o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Oregon and Washington Limited, Harriman's 69-hour Portland-Chicago through train, left the Union Depot, on its initial run. The train was in charge of Conductor Frank Weiden, for years an employe of the O. R. & N. Co. There was a very satisfactory passenger list. The equipment consisted of mall and baggage cars, a smoker, a Chicago chair car, a Chicago tourist, a Kansas City standard and a Chicago standard. Within a few days an observation car will be added to the equipment of this train. The Eastern Express, which handles the passenger business between Portland and Salt Lake, also went into service at S o'clock on Its first trip. It carried a large number of passengers. This traffic was formerly handled by the Portland Chicago train, but in order for the through train to clip seven hours off its schedule between this city and Chicago It was necessary for the Salt Lake train to be added to the service, that the lo cal traffic could be accommodated. WILT,, NpT BUILD TO PORTLAND Harriman Men Say Eureka-Port-land Line Is AU a Dream. Harriman officials here are unable to confirm the report from Eureka, Cat., that work Is to begin next month on the extension of the California Northwestern Railway from Eureka northerly along the coast, with Portland as the final object ive point. The details of this piece of railroad construction are being directed from the Harriman offices In San Fran cisco. Construction of this road, which is owned jointly by the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe, between Willetts and Eureka, will be completed about Septem ber 1. and It is this fact which Is be lieved to have started the rumor that ex tension of the line into Oregon would be taken up Immediately. The Harriman interests have made sev eral preliminary surveys for such a road extending from Eureka up the Oregon coast, but there are two reasons why it is believed this road will not be built for any considerable distance north from Eu reka. In the first place, surveys for railroad construction following the coast have disclosed that such a line would cost probably SIOO.OOO a mile. Then again the activity of the Harriman people in other sections of the state, particularly in build ing extensions to their Klamath Falls Natron line, which are under way, prob ably will stand in the way of any ex tensive railroad building along the coast. It Is regarded as possible that even tually the California Northwestern may be extended north from Eureka Into Coos and Curry Counties and tap the rich tim ber belt in Southwestern Oregon. of James Webster, general freight agent, who looked over the field at that time. The Nickel Plate, Lackawanna, Traders' Dispatch and Interstate Dispatch fast freight lines are all operated over the Nickel Plate road. "Plunger" at Lyric a Success THE second week of the engagement I of the Athon stock company at the ( Lyric opened yesterday afternoon with a well-produced performance of Oliver Doud Byron's familiar melodrama, "The "Plunger." For years this piece was a success on the road and made thousands of dollars for its author and star. It deala wit-h Wall street finan cial operations of the frenzied sort. In which battle and murder and sudden deatn form much of the motif, al though there is a sympathetic love story running through it. A wrong accusation of forgery In the first act.J a murder of which he is accused, and an escape from prison keep the hero busy during the five aots, which, how ever, end happily. A special feature of "The Plunger" as presented at the Lyric is the spec tacular scenic effects which are prob ably the best ever seen at that thea ter. The members of the cast, particularly Sydney Payne,, the leading man,; Pris cllla Knowles and Robert Athon appear to excellent advantage. The ladies wear some handsome gowns and the play Is altogether a big value for the money. DEATH GALLS S. f.l. BARR PIONEER SUCCUMBS TO ATTACK OF HEART FAILURE.
