THE SUNDAY OREtfONIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 7, 1900.
CITY NEWS IN BRIEF
OORDRATS THEATER (Washington etrect)
"At Gay Coney Island.'
"Wni TEii op New York. The literary
society of the First Congregational church
-will give another of its interesting pro
grammes Wednesday, January 10, at 2 P.
H., in the church parlors. This 13 the
second in the studies of American cities,
and the topic for this afternoon is New
York. One of the young 'women of the
church, Miss ilary Berdan, will lead with
a paper on "Old New Tork." Her keen
sense of the humor of events and occa
sions approaches that of Irving himself.
This, with her graceful diction and youth
ful relish of old things, assures a charm
ing glimpse of that picturesque old Dutch
colonial town, which has been entirely
superseded by the proud metropolis. Mrs.
Adams, who gives a paper on "Metropoli
tan New York," needs no Introduction to
Portland audiences. Mrs. Adams has
grown up in and with New York, and has
in a measure been Identified with Its
literature. She was a member of Sorosls,
as well as of that w ell-known Liberal Club
that numbered among its members many
of the brightest men and women of the
land.
No Decrease in Demand fob Labor.
All signs point to a scarcity of laboring
men In Portland during the coming season,
according To those who are conversant
with the Industrial conditions in the
Northwest. Men who are willing to work
on country jobs are not over numerous
now, although January and February are
usually looked upon as months when Idle
men are plentiful and putdoor jobs are
ecarce. The demand, however, has never
ceased this winter, for loggers, railroad
laborers, choppers, farmers, milkers, etc,
while the opening of spring will witness
the construction of more new lines of rail
road, the starting of new logging camps,
the erection of new saw mills, and the ex
tension of new farms. The rush to Nome
will further deplete the stock of laborers,
and unless something unforseen happens,
labor will indeed be king, in the working
season of 1900.
Associated Charities Meeting. The
annual public meeting of the associated
charities for this year will be held next
Sunday afternoon, the 14th, at 3:30 o'clock
at the MarQuam Grand theater. The new
ly elected president of the university of
Oregon. I'k ftMr Frank Strong, will de
liver the aniiUal address, the subject of
which will be announced later. The musi
cal programme is In course of prepara
tion, and will be up to the usual stand
ard of the music given at these meetings.
The selections will be of the best, and
Mrs. Walter Beed, Mr. Dom Zan and the
Treble Clef Club are expected to take part.
There will probably be other addresses,
and music, and the complete programme
will he published early next week. The
entire theater will be open to the public,
and no charge will be made or subscrip
tion taken up.
Barber Commission en Tour. The Ore
gon state barbers' commission, consisting
of Sam H. HoVard, president; H. G.
Meyer, secretary, and F. I. Rogers, treas
urer, will leave tonight for Eastern Ore
gon, where examinations will be held in
four or five cities of applicants for cer
tificates to practice the vocation of barber.
The commissioners have made dates as
follows: The Dalles, Monday, January 8;
Pendleton, Tuesday, January 9; La
Grande, Wednesday, January 10; Baker
City, Thursday, January 1L The commis
sioners are considering the advisability of
holding forth one day In Sumpter In ad
dition to the four cities named. If this
plan is adopted, the day chosen will be
Friday, January 12.
"Vicious Buixdoo.-A bulldog belonging
to Frank Elvers, a North End saloon
keeper, bit Charles McDonald, as he was
walking along Fourth street, last even
ing. McDonald had the owner arrested
on a charsre of allowing a vicious dog to
run at larre. Rivers was released on his
own recognizance, and the case will be
Investigated In the municipal court to
morrow. The police say this is the fifth
complaint about this dog biting persons
walking along the street, but the owner
and dog have thus far eluded conviction.
McDonald was bitten quite severely on the
leg.

parlors. First and Montgomery, and will

Registration. The clerks who are per
forming the -work of registering voters
state that hetween 650 and 700 persons have
thu? far registered. A precise count has

naturalization papers is required, bring
them with them. After the district at
torney has answered the questions asked
of him by Clerk Holmes, the clerk will
know how to act In regard to all uncer
tain cases which, come before him.
Anxious to Serve. The report that the
county commissioners .are about to appoint
judges and clerks of election has caused
quite a number of persons desiring to
serve in one or the other of these posi
tions to wait upon the commissioners, or
to importune the county clerk to put them
upon the list. The officials state that
they -will be governed in making the se
lections by the wishes of the central com
mittees of the political parties, and a man
who wants a. place should see a committee

(Copy of letter from the great
pianist)
The Aeolian Company:
Gentlemen Your new and won
derful musical Instrument, the Aeo
lian, is well entitled not alone to
excite the surprise but to claim the
attention and admiration of every
one interested in music the pro
fessional as well as the layman It
is evident how quickly the man or
woman of fine musical taste, but
entirely without technical educa
tion, may acquire on it the ability
to become familiar with and enjoy
most of the finer musical classics.
It also provides great possibilities
for the study of tone and chord
combinations for the professional.
The general use of this instrument,
in my opinion, will Increase the
comprehension and love of the
highest grade of music

The Oregon Metropolis Is a
City to Buy In Than.
Francisco.
Cheaper
Saa
Ashland, Or., which lies so near the Cali
fornia line that the San Francisco mer
chants have veen considering it their ter
ritory, now does the bulk of Its trading
with Portland, according to E. V. Carter,
a banker of that thriving Jackson county
town. Mr. Carter, who Is at the Im
perial, is In a good position to know
whither the bulk of trade Is drifting, as
he furnishes exchange to the business
men of the town. A few years ago, he
says, the bulk of drafts were drawn on
San Francisco banks; but now the Port
land banks do the business. The reason
for this Is that Portland Is a cheaper city
to buy in than San Francisco. Freight
rates are about the same, whether goods
are shipped Into Ashland from Portland
or the California city, but the northern
merchants, by reason of more competing
lines from the East, can undersell those
of San Francisco. "Then there Is some
patriotism in It too," he continued. "Our
people are all Oregonlans, and naturally
prefer to deal with the merchants of the
Oregon metropolis." He thinks San Fran
cisco has permanently lost Its trade with
that portion of Southern Oregon.
"Ashland is booming; we haven't had a
vacant house In the town for a year, and
the 75 new structures built In 1899 are oc
cupied to their full capacity. Our peach
crop last year amounted to 75,000 boxes,
which the oroducers sold for good prices.
Rojrue river valley Is about the only re
gion In the world which produced a full
crop of everything In 1S99, and our people
are now enjoying the results of It
"The present outlook is also exceedingly
flattering, as the ample rains have pro
moted the growth of all crops, and have
set the placer miners to work much earlier
than usual. We are going to have a good,
long sluicing and hydraullcking season
this year, which means a big clean-up of
gold dust In the ensuing summer."
Mr. Carter was speaker of the house dur
ing the last session of the Oregon legis
lature, and on being asked as to the
status of the parties in Jackson county at
present, said: ' The populists still have an
organization; but I do not look for the
democrats to put a ticket In the flela.
However, we expect to see a 'citizens
ticket, or something of this kind, in oppo-

FOR MISUSING MAILS.
Portland TVomnn Arrested by Fed
eral Authorities in South Dakota.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Jan. 6. Elizabeth
Lois Struble, who says she came here
from Portland the latter part of last Au
gust, was arrested by the government
authorities and bound over to the next
federal grand jury on a charge of sending
through the malls her monthly publica
tion, named The Nautilus, which is al
leged to contain obscene matter.
It is believed here by Mrs. Struble's
friends, to some of whom the foregoing
dispatch was shown, that there must be
a big mistake somewhere. While It is
barely possible that Mrs. Struble may
have been guilty of a technical violation
of the United States statutes relating to
mails, her whole life here gives the lie
to any suspicion that she did anything
impure or unwomanly. She is the daugh
ter of J. H. Jones, the pioneer lumber,
man, and the wife of Holt Struble, and
was born and brought up in Portland.
