EARLY DAYS ARE RECALLED First Morrison-Street Bridge and First Car System on East Side Are Anions Projects Set Afoot by Mr. Buclitel. . Joseph Buchtel, pioneer of 1852, who had been an active factor in the early history of Portland and Oregon, passed his S4th birthday yesterday, at his home 1260 East Washington street, in a quiet manner with his family, al though many friends called and sent their good wishes. Owing to a very painful trouble with his left eye, the reception and family reunion had to be about 75 feet of the big Hume of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany, which passed around the side of a bluff above the Bull: Run pipe lines, and a torrent of water dashed down the hill over the pipe lines. Protections in the form of "aprons" built some time ago saved the pipe lines from seriou3 damage. The breaking of the flume was caused by a large amount of dirt dropping on it- With the break, a young cloudburst roared down the hills, carrying rocks weighing tons. The mass passed over the pipe lines, ripping out big timbers built in the "aprons" and in a few places undermined the pipe lines -hut did not move them from their position or cause any serious damage. The flood took out part of the Ames road and. tied up traffic for several hours. As soon as the accident was reported. City Commissioner DfJy, Su perintendent Kaiser and Water En gineers Clark and Randlett went to the scene in automobiles. Surveyors found that the pipe lines, were not damaged.

The regular monthly meeting of the Multnomah Bar Association will be held in department No. 6, Judge Clee ton's courtroom, Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. Important amendments, to by laws will be presented called off. Mr. Buchtel has been com pletely blind for more than two years, but he still retained hope that the sight of one eye could be restored until this recent affliction. Mr. Buchtel came to Portland when it was a struggling village. He and Captain G. A. Pease are the only two surviving men who operated on the Willamette River in 1852. 1853 and 1854. All the other river men have passed away. At that time and for many years afterward steamers were oper ated to Corvallis and were the chief means of transportation in the Wil lamette Valley to and from Portland. Mr. Buchtel was steward on the "Wal- lamut," the largest steamer on the Wil lamette River. He said that the boat often carried 200 passengers to Salem. Early Photos of City Made. Mr. Buchtel had a very active and wide career in Portland and there was rarely any progressive movement in Portland in which he did not have a part. He was one -of the earliest pho tographers, and hi3 views of Portland as a village are the only ones extant at present. He served one term as Sheriff of Multnomah County. He as sisted in the organization of the Mult nomah Fire Engine Company, and was chief of the volunteer department, and chief after the establishment of the paid department. Mr. Buchtel nro- jected the erection of the first Morri son street bridge across the Willam ette River, built by -William Beck and others. He also built the first mile of street car track on the east side of the river, on Grand avenue, the intention being to build the line to City Park race track, in which he was interested, but it was never finished. ; Mr. Buchtel was an expert In horse racing, and officiated at the State Fair and elsewhere as Judge for many years. As the pioneer baseball player he or ganized and captained the Pioneer Baseball Club in Portland In the seven ties,, which held the championship for many years. East Side Interests Aided. It may be said that it was through the work of Joseph Buchtel that the grounds on which the Washington High School and Hawthorne buildings stand were secured for school pur. poses. Mr. ijucntei was an active mem ber of the old East Side Improvement Association that brought about the re building of the Morrison bridge and caused the East Side low lands to be filled up. When the North East Side Improvement Association was organ ized to promote- the building of the Broadway bridge, Mr. Buchtel was one cf the foremost members and was named a member of the bridge com mittee. At that time the weakness of his eyes began to appear, but he at tended all meetings and was active till that bridge was built, and was accord ed the honor of riding in the automo bile first to cross the completed struc ture. Historical Site Purchased. That Joseph Buchtel. was a useful citizen hundreds can testify who re ceived a helping hand from him. He was a leader in his time of men and affairs. The' one particular thing he feels glad of is that he was able to bring about the purchase and setting apart of a 1200-acre tract at Cham poeg. Ore., where some' time in the future the state will erect a monu ment suitable to commemorate the memory of the men who saved the Oregon country to the United States. May 2. 1843. He, with ten friends, bought the land and gave the state a deed to it, the state afterward reim bursing them for their outlay. "It was my desire to get an appro priation of $3,000 from the state to have the land improved," said Mr. Buchtel yesterday, in speaking of that matter, "but I became blind and could do no more. When we bought the tract and the state took it over I went to see F. X. Matthieu, the then sole sur vivor of the convention that saved this country to the United States, and toid him what had been done. "Joe," he said, 'Now I am ready to die.' The old man was deeply interested in the movement to get the land. It is a little hard after having lived an active life that I should be blind and suffering in my old age, but those are the things we cannot aoc-ount for. I should have been glad to see my old friends, hut it cannot be. but I can and do send them my greetings. I am glad to be remem bered by so many." Mr. Buchtel has four children: Archie L.' Buchtel, Fred G. Buchtel, Mrs. N. L Curry and Mrs. W. G. Kern. FLUMES SAVE, WATER PIPE Old "Aprons" Guard Ball" Run Line Against Big Washout.

FEATHERS ABROAD AGAIN Women Who Keep Law Are Cha grined to See Rivals Flaunt Banned Millinery and Seizure Seems Bound to Happen. Fine feathers may make fine hats, but fine hats may be made sorry-looking creations If the game warden finds them bedecked with any of the plumage now under the state or Federal ban. Aigrettes have perked their fascinat ing antennae and filaments through al together too many crowds of late, ac cording to those who have been look ing around officially, and at any time the patience of the game warden and tho Audubon Society may be worn out, and zip! off will come a feather. Birds of Paradise are giving the au thorities a little concern. The importa tion of the plumage is under the Federal- ban by reason of the new tariff law, and while this law governs the importation, there is a question as, to whether the actual wearing of the feathers is illegal. In club circles and social gatherings of women recently the question has come up in many of its phases. Many devotees of gay plumage, in respect or in fear of the law, have sacrificed their longings and have done without their favored feathers, only to see some friend or social rival emerge with a headgear bedecked in aigrettes or some such plumage. Feathers Appearing: Again. Women who are fond of bird of para dise plumage, but who are not intrepid enough to risk arrest, are chagrined on finding a more adventuresome neighbor benefiting miSlinerily speaking. And something is going to happen, they say. As a mattetr of fact, numerous feath ers of Oregon game birds and non game birds are reappearing with a con sistency that indicates there is a sus picious traffic in the feathers. Stanley Jewett, field assistant of the Oregon Game Commission, said yester day that he believed-that many of the women wearizig thesa feathers were from other states and ignorant of the existing laws and its severe penalty. William L. Finley, State Game War den, who will return from the East this morning, may commence a crusade against the fair lawbreakers. There are many fine imitations of aigrettes now being -made, and this will cause the game experts to use rare discretion in bringing any of the wearers to book. The law, with jthe exception of a point or two, is clear. No native Oregofl birds except domestic or barnyard fowl may be used in millinery traffic, "Gura" Safe Adornment. The importation of certain fine birds of other countries is forbidden by Fed eral law. After these two or three items are eliminated, American women may wear what they will, which means that the "gura" plumage is legal. The "gura," however, has been somewhat disputed, but so far as the game offi cials are concerned for the present it is safe. x In the case of China pheasant feath ers, they are not allowed to be sold. If the owner of a China pheasant skin can convince the Game Commission the bird was killed in due open season for individual purposes, the skin may be worn. In all cases, however, it is safe to have the Game Commission tag It as O. K. or It may be snipped off by a vigilant seeker after evidence. The Game Commission, due to the change which has recently been effected in the personnel of the office, has not announced any definite campaign, but attaches of the office, in the absence of Mr. Finley, avow that women who violate the law, either in ignorance or in bliss, should not be surprised if con fiscation is begun at any time.

S40O.O00 CHRISTMAS TRADE DUE MERCHANTS PREPARING TO CARE FOR EARLY SHOPPERS. BISHOP DUE JANUARY 15 V Orron Prelate Probably Will Be Consecrated at Epiphany. That Walter T. Sumner, bishop-elect of ' Oregon, will arrive in Portland about January 16 is the belief of Rev. H. M. Ramsey, president of the stand ing committee of the diocese. Dean Sumner has expressed a wish 'that his date for consecration be January 6 on the anniversary of the Festival of Epiphany and it is regarded as prob able that Presiding Bishop Tuttlo will consult Dean Sumner's wishes. Since the death of Bishop Scadding the diocese of Oregon has been without a bishop and what ordinations have been required have been administered by Bishop Keator, of Tacoma, who presides over the diocese of Olympia. Motorcycle Rider Sties. Because of a collision between his motorcycle and an auto truck belonging to the Standard Oil Company last Au gust, Alfred Wahl brought suit Satur day for $5460 damages. He received severe injuries, he says, and the motor cycle was demolished. The accident occurred at Williams avenue and Fargo street and ie charged to the negligence of the oil company's driver. Additional Clerks Being; Employed and PostofTlce Stations Will Be Established In Stores. Anticipating at least a normal amount of Christmas shopping this year and as early as usual, the leading merchants of Portland are busy pre paring for the inevitable rush. Virtually all of the holiday goods have arrived in Portland and some of the wares have been on display during the past few weeks and extra clerks are being employed. It is estimated that Christmas shop ping this year will give employment to 500 or 600 extra employes in the large department stores alone. In spite of the present unsettled busi ness conditions merchants look for the usual heavy trade this year and, guided by all information that they have at hand, they expect purchasing activity as early, if not earlier, than in former years. The persistent cry for early shopping has been cumulative in its effect, business men say, and lessons of the past have taught people gener ally that early shopping pays from a selfish standpoint as well as from the humane standpoint of showing consid eration for the clerks who are com pelled to slave hard during the final days of the ChristmaB crush. The European war has not handi capped the merchants this year in pre senting a full line of goods, because most of their orders had been placed before hostilities commenced. Postmaster Meyers said yesterday that he expected to establish a tem porary postoffice station in each of the large department stores, in order to facilitate the handling of Christmas packages. Government clerks will be on duty at each station to receive and dispatch mail and to insure and regis ter packages. , THE DOLLAR SAVED on railway fare pays one-third . of Thanksgiving day's hotel entertainment at Gearhart "By-the-Sea."
