Court Xotc.
Four dentists, -who do not seem to know
the difference between a French and an
American court, clapped their hands in
Judge Sears'department of justice yester
day afternoon, and were fined 510 each. The
gentlemen, however, at once apologized
for their misbehavior and his honor con
siderately remitted the fines. Virions of
lightened pocket-hooks stared them in the
face, and they breezed a. sigh of relief
when the ordeal Tiad passed. The case
of F. A. Bryant against the Oregon board
of dental examiners Tvae before the court
upon a motion for a continuance. Attor
ney Gearin, for the defendants, bad just
finished a speech denouncing Bryant,
whom he said had made allegations of
fraud and malice, and when he camp into
court he had a dragnet out, and did not
know what he was going to prove by it.
About 58 dentists had assembled to hear
the argument, and as Mr. Gearin voiced
these Ternaries they manifested their de
cided approval by pronounced applause.
Judge Sears was astonished at such a
breach of court ethics, and commanded
Crier Hill to at once march the offendeis
up before the bar. After commenting up
on the unusual proceeding, the lines were
pronounced, but when the explanation was
made that no wrolng was Intended, and
that the culpnts were strangers to the
manners of courts, the judgment was not
enforced.
Henry E. McGinn, counsel for Bryant,
saw an opening and took advantage of it
by saying:
""No wonder all these dentists are here;
they have nothing else to do. My men
are not here; they have too much to do.
They have seven chairs running."
The case was set for trial yesterday.
Recently JtTdge Sears made an order that
the questions and answers in the exam
ination of Bryant before the dental board
be furnished to the plaintiff to give him
an opportunity, if he can, to show by
them, as he avers, that the board unjustly
refused to grant bim a license. Yesterday
morning, when court convened, Mr. Mc
Ginn stated that he was not ready, having
just received the questions and answers,
which he was required to make copies of.
and wao not prepared to proceed. The
case was accordingly adjourned until 2
o'clock P. M.
When that bour arrived, Mr. McGinn
was not ready to go ahead.
Mr. Gearin. counsel for the defendants,
ssfld if Mr. McGinn would make a state
ment of what he expected to prove, they
might agree upon it. He would either ad
mit it, or let it be received subject to
objection, and go to the supreme court
on it.
Mr. McGinn declined to consent to this
-arrangement, saying he did not yet alto
gether know what he was going to prove,
and that his evidence would bave to con
form to any stipulation he should make.
He preferred to proceed in the regular
manner. This brought forth a somewhat
spirited answer from Mr. Gearin, in the
course of which the remarks which evoked
the applause were indulged In.
Mr. McGinn expects to be able to show
that questions different from those asked
other applicants were submitted to Bryant,
and, though he answered them correctly,
be was marked low, while others who
did no better were marked high. Whether
the court will review the action of the
board, remains to be seen.
HTJIUJBURT OX THE STAXD.
Testimony of Co-Rcspondent In Hatv
on Divorce Case.
The trial of the divorce suit of Maggie
Hawson vs. Sidney Hawson was conclud
ed in Judge Cleland's court yesterday,
and the case was taken under advise
ment. The co-respondent, Frank T. Hurl
burt, took the witness-stand and com
pletely denied all the charges made
against him by Hawson. Mr. Hurlburt
is the mayor of Arlington, and is the
cashier of the First National hanfc nt
that place. He flatly denied any improper
relations with Mrs. Hawson, and told a
convincing story to the effect that he
was a fnend of both parties, and never
did anything which an honorable man
need feci ashamed of. He said he went
to board at the house at the solicitation
of Hawson. The fare at the hotel1? was
not good, and he was pleased to make
the change. Hawson did business at the
bank, and it was perfectly natural, all
things considered, that he should become
upon good terms with the family and take
an interest in the children. Concerning
the camping at Bingham Springs, the
witness explained that his sister was one
of the party, and also another woman,
and Mrs. Hawson went with the consent
of her husband. The affair was some
what democratic, as such summer out
ings generally are. He stated that a pic
ture referred to by Hawson was taken
by the sister of witness, who had a ko
dak. They were in the swimming-pool at
the springs with others, and the picture
shows him and Mrs. Hawson in the fore
ground. After the reconciliation at Pen
dleton he said Mrs. Hawson wrote to
him about it, saying she had agreed to
come back and live with Hawson If he
would quit drinking for three months,
but he did not do so. Hurlburt was
closely cross-questioned concerning cer
tain matters, and made reasonable an
swers. STORY OF CRUELTY.
lanra Hansen Says Her Husband
Shamefully Used Her.
Laura Hansen has filed suit against Al
bert Hansen for a divorce in the state
circuit court, and relates a story of'eru
elty in her complaint. She states that
she was married to the defendant July
16, 1S9S, and avers that July 18, 1S99, he
struck her and beat her about the face
and head so terribly that she was com
pelled to have her right eye removed
and have an artificial eye placed in the
socket instead. On December 21 last, she
alleges that Hansen kicked and beat her
on the head and body and on her legs,
and knocked her down. She still suffers
from the effects of the Injuries received.
Between these dates Mrs. Hansen asserts
that her husband abused and beat her
and used vile language to her. On De
cember 25 the plaintiff avers that the a -fendant,
for fear he would be arrestee,
packed his "clothing and left her. She
says he is a man of vicious habits and
very revengeful disposition.

AT A SAFE DISTANCE.
Warrant Xot (Served on a Man "VJio
Is Two Miles From Town.
A little man with a pair of black eyes,
artificially acquired, has been hovering
about Justice Kraemer's court for the past
four daj's, trying to have J. C. Xiundrem,
a Columbia slough contractor, arrested for
assault and battery. HIa name is Grant
Fletcher, and he alleges that In a dispute
over wages, Lundrem punched his face by
way of emphasizing some remarks. The
warrant for Lundrem's arrest has been
in Deputy Sheriff George T. Mitchell's
pocket since Thursday, but Columbia
elough Is two miles away, and no provis
ion having been made for carriage hire,
Mr. Mitchell does not think his salary of
$65 a month justifies him In hiring a team
himself. In fact, the deputy sheriff has
a little bill of $4 50 against Multnomah
county for hack hire incurred in one of
these missions, "but the county comm's
sloners persistently refuse to pay it.
Mitchell paid the money out of his own
pocket, and brought his prisoners back
from distant points outside of the city, on
three different occasions, and only asked
Multnomah county to refund the money
paid out for hack hire. He cannot be com
pelled to go out after Lundrem unless the
complaining witness first puts up livery ex
penses, and as Fletcher feels too poor to
do this, he has begun to realize that his
assailant is safe so long as hp keeps from
running into the deputy sheriff.
The constable, whose salary is something
better, $125 a month, also feels too poor
to hire a team, especially as he Is not sure
of getting his man should he go beyond
the district boundary after him.
When several hold-ups took place last
fall in portions of Multnomah county be
yond the city limits, the Portland police
took the matter in hand, although the
crimes were committed beyond their ju
risdiction. Neither state nor county seemed
to take any interest in the safety of trav
elers along county roads, but Chief Mc
Lauchlan sent his men out in search of
cle'ns. Just the same as If the hold-ups had
been perpetrated In the city. 'The only
people, therefore, whom the country out
laws fear are Portland city police, as no
county officer cares to venture ,far In
quest of criminals, unless his expenses are
first provided for.
"The fellow is safe, he's two miles
away," was little Grant Fletcher's re
mark yesterday, when an elaborate ex
planation of the matter had been made to
him.
WHERE MILEAGE GOES.
Sheriff Frazier Says It Is Jfecessary
for Deputies' Exxenscs.
Sheriff Frazier yesterday, speaking of
mileage which Is collected in civil cases
from litigants, and which It has been al
leged he has not turned over to the county
treasurer as fees, said:
"The mileage covers the cost of trans
portation of my deputies throughout the
city and county, and this eats up all of
the money received in that way. I have
never got a 5-cent piece out of all the
mileage collected since I have held the
office. I am willing to turn in the mileage
if the county will pay the traveling ex
penses of the deputies, that is, street-car
fares, railroad fares, buggy hire, etc. I
cannot afford to pay these Items out of
my salary. Deputies have to serve papers
everywhere in the county, frequently mak
ing long outside trips. The mileage cov
ers the cost of going and coming. The
books are op'en for inspection at any time,
and I will guarantee there is not more
than $6 unexpended mileage on hand."
Several years ago, while George C. Sears
was sheriff, the legislature passed a law
authorizing the collection of mileage in
Multnomah county to be retained by the
sheriff. It has been asserted, however,
that, under an act passed at the last ses
sion of the legislature, the sheriff should
account for the mileage, but Sheriff Fra
zier takes a contrary view of it. Mr. Sears,
as sheriff prior to the passage of the mile
age act, took the same position as does
Sheriff Frazier, and strenuously objected
to making service of papers any consid
erable distance from the courthouse with
out compensation to cover the expenses
of the trip. Mr. Sears was Instrumental
In having the mileage bill passed six
months after he went into office. About
that time the sheriffs in all of the outside
counties held a meeting upon the subject
of mileage, and they all freely expressed
their indignation that there was no law
of that kind for their protection. A
number of the sheriffs said that the at
torneys In their districts desired to be fair
about it, and voluntarily paid the mileage.
Others stated that they would refuse to
travel long distances and serve papers un
less mileage was paid, law or no Jaw. A
general mileage bill was passed, and Gov
ernor Lord vetoed It. The provision for
mileage In Multnomah county was tagged
on to the end of another bill and man
aged to stick.
o
MEAT BADLY PACKED.
-any Soldiers of the Thlrty-ilftli
Regiment Poisoned.
When the Thirty-fifth infantry left Port
land October 4 last, on the transports
Sikh and Rio de Janeiro, the men were In
the best of health. But after they had
left Honolulu 289 of them had a narrow
escape from death.
The cuirent Issue of the Army and Navy
Register says that Commissary-General
Weston, at Washington, has received the
reports of the officers In charge of the
Thirty-fifth Infantry while on board the
transport Rio de Janeiro upon the poison
ing of the men through spoiled meats. The
report of the regimental surgeon, C. W.
Frye. was to the effect that the poisoning
resulted from fresh and not canned meat.
The other report Is from Lieutenant-Colonel
Plummer. These reports show how
thai 289 men were made sick on October
22 and 23 after leaving Honolulu bound for
Manila, and one man died. This was the
result of ptomaine poisoning from the
condition of the fresh meat given.
From the experience of the voyage
Colonel Plummer recommends that meat
for the use of troops be packed by persons
expert in packing fresh meats for long
voyages; also, that officers of the quarter
master's and commissary's departments be
occasionally sent on the transports to ac
quire experience.
General Weston has forwarded the re
ports to Major Baldwin, the commissary
in charge at San Francisco, to develop
other. facts relative to the responsibility
for the condition of the meat.
SPOKE FOR THE BOERS
AKTI-AXGLICAX SPEECHES
AT VANCOUVER.
9IADE
Georgre E. Chamberlain and Jmlse
Thomas. O'Day Made the Trefc
Across the Columbia to Talk.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 20. A meet
ing of Boer sympathizers was held here
last night. Speeches were made by George
E. Chamberlain ?nd Judge Thomas O'Day,
who made the trek across the Columbia
from Portland to tell the Vancouver peo
ple how sorry they were for Oom Paul
and his subjects. The meeting was en
thusiastic at times, but the Standard the
ater, In which it was held, could hardly
be called crowded. The gathering was
presided over by Judge Caples, of Vancou
ver, and on the stage were Hugh Burns.
William Curtain, John "yVentworth, j. p.
Rann, V. V. Rann and P. J. Clancey.
Mr. Chamberlain only spoke about L0
minutes, and his oration was In the line
of a prelude to Judge O'Day's more ornate
eloquence. A letter of regret was read
from Hon. S. W. Brown, who wrote that
he was too sick to attend the meeting,
but his sympathy was with the Boers and
all other people who had the desire and
the Intelligence to fight for their homei
and land. The greater part of the 200 peo
ple present were apparently In sympathy
with the speakers, and,thelr remarks were
frequently punctured with applause. Es
pecially is this true In regard to Judge
O'Day's speech, at those points where he
soared particularly high. Mrv Chamber
lain talked from a high moral standpoint,
and had much to say about ''benevolent
assimilation," "shooting civilization Into
the Boers," and the past custom of Great
Britain in extending her benevolent wing
all over the earth. Judge O'Day talked
longer and louder than did the first speak
er. The judge said In the outset that he
was not going to talk politics, but the
temptation was too great and his refer
ences to the policy of the McKinley ad
ministration were not even thinly veiled.
But It was his striking witticisms that
created the most admiration in the audi
ence. His original remark, referring to
the South African Republic as a "hot ta
male," won for the judge uproarious ap
plause. A vague suspicion lurked In the
crowd that some of his jokes had been
related at least once before, but the ap
pearance of the man and his manner of
cracking them created continuous laugh
ter. Mr. Chamberlain first read a letter of
regret from C. K. Henry, also billed to
twist the lion's tall a little. Mr. Henry
was at Salem, and could not come. C.
E. S. Wood was at Astoria, and was com
pelled to view at- a distance this first
charge on British x ranks by far-away
Oregon's valiant knights.
The speaker devoted his introductory
remarks to a review of the Plymouth
colony, those hardy forefathers who came
with an ax in one hand and a Bible In
the other. Their early trials, final pros
perity and conflict with the mother coun
try, resulting in separation on the prin
ciples that "all men were born equal" and
"taxation without representation is un
just," were rehearsed. Mr. Chamberlain
found In all of Great Britain's South
African career nothing but exhibitions
of greed, capacity and oppression. Lust
of conquest acquired Cape Colony, he
said; tolerance and oppression forced the
Inhabitants back into the wilderness,
where they were unmolested until the
dlscoyery of diamonds and gold. Then
grasping Britain came, and was now at
tempting to maintain by force of arms
her unlawful pretensions.
"After the discovery of gold in that
country," he continued, "the greed of
Great Britain asserted Itself again. She
undertook to make some pretext of war.
And what was it? The Boer people were
a free and Independent republic. Thero
was no cause of war except this and I
want to call your attention, fellow-cltl-zens
to this because Great Britain had
no more right to Invade the Transvaal
country than she has a right to Invade
this country. I quote "from British tes
timony Hon. James Brlce. M. P. who
says the population brought Into South
Africa by the discovery of gold outnum
bered the Boer people by far."
Mr. Chamberlain believed the Boers
had an absolute right to regulate the mat
ter of granting franchise to outsiders ac
cording to their pleasure, as that was
internal policy of a government, with
which none had a right to Interfere. Get
ting down to the moral turpitude of the
United States in the issue, Mr. Chamber
lain asked:
"Has the United States done its duty?
No, sir. Why? Because, fellow-citizens,
America, through its administration, has
eaten some of exactly the same kind of
hog."
Thomas O'Day unveiled the purpose of
this and many other meetings which he
said would soon be held In Portland and
vicinity. Credit Is the life of modern
civilisation, and Mr. O'Day is going to
destroy Great Britain by shaking her
eredlt to pieces. Some unappreclatlve
resident of Vancouver whispered, when
Mr. O'Day was talking of shaking this
stupendous credit, that It was not often
that the tall could shake the dog.
Mr. O'Day said that the "O" and apos
trophe preceding his name might possibly
explain his undoubted anti-British senti
ments. The fatherhood of God and
brotherhood of man was evolved as tho
central idea of civilization.
"You can never find," he said, "where
Great Britain has taken a great move,
but the almighty dollar was beneath it."
Mr. O'Day was weary of the request
constantly made not to talk about these
subjects, because comfort would be given
to the enemy, and somebody would get
hurt. He was ready to announce his doc
trine that he would talk as long as he
could get an audience. Consent of the
governed received due attention. An
nouncing his slogan, Mr. O'Day said:
"What Is credit? We are not holding
these meetings all over the United States
without an aim. There Is an object and
a purpose, and I will tell you what It Is.
It is said In the United States that there
is $40,000,000,000 of debts, while the as
sessed valuation of property Is about $25,
000,000,000. We are paying Interest, pub
lic and private, on that vast sum, so
some fellows may live without work.
Great Britain today Is In the same con
dition; France and Germany also. This
credit system Is like a chain extending
around the earth; break a link and It
comes down with a crash. Then we have
what Is called a panic."
Along these lines of reasoning the
speaker continued outlining what was
possible for fearless patriots on their
own native platforms. Expressions of
sympathy from all over the United States
would close the mouth of the administra
tion, which was giving Great Britain so
much comfort and assurance. "When
Great Britain learns that the United
States is not In sympathy with her," he
exclaimed, "the former's credit will be
shaken, and when her credit Is shaken
she will have to give up the fight against
the Boers."
It appeared from the speakers that a
concerted move Is being made by all anti
administration people to embarrass it,
and that the little meeting last evening
in Vancouver Is only the beginning here
It was given out last night that no par
ties or societies were back of the work.

Thirty-Foot Yacht Building;.
John Duthle will shortly commence con
struction on a 30-foot yacnt. In the builo
Ing formerly occupied by the machine
shops of Hale & Kern, at the foot ot Eas;
Market street. At present only the lines
of the yacht are laid out on the floor of
the building, and it now remains to work
out the designs from the drawings In
wood, iron and. sails. For the present
the name of the owner of the new yacnt
Is not given out, for reasons known to
him, but it seems that hi will have a sail
boat that will be ahead,ot anything on the
river, and can throw "dust," or, rather
water, Into the eyes of most of the yacht-
men hereabouts. A few, of course, know
who the owner Is, and the appearance of
this new yacht will be awaited with ex
pectant .Interest by i others. The builder
oxperlenced some difficulty in , getting v
faultlesspiece bt oak 30 feet long tor the
keel, but has succeeded. It is expected
that work will be begun on the building
of the yacht as soon as the material la on
the ground, which will soon be delivered.
The finish will be elaborate, and in keep
ing with the'other parts of the craft. At
present little can be said concerning tho
f model of 'the yacht, beyond that she will
be a beauty and speedy. The designer
spent nine years with Hereshoff. He wa
with Wolff & Zwlcker until recently, and
Is a past master In the art. There will
be several other new yachts, and several
of the members of the Oregon Yacht Club
contemplate building boats and recon
structing some of the old ones.
o
DEATH OF CAPTAIN LANE.
Well
Known River Man
to Fncnmonln.
Succumbs
News was received In Portland last night
of the death of Cantain Nat H. Lane, In
Spokane, after a brief Illness, of pneu
monia. Captain Lane, who was one of the
strongest and most robust men, left Port
land a few weeks ago In his usual perfect
health, and the first Intimation of his Ill
ness came yesterday afternoon, when his
brother, Dr. Harry Lane, was notified by
telephone that he was very low, and that
it would probably be impossible to reach
Spokane in time to see him alive. Last
night, at 9 o'clock, the doctor received a
telegram announcing his brother's death.
Captain Lane was a grandson of General
Joseph Lane, one of the most prominent
founders of the state, and a son of a well
known pioneer resident of the East Side.
He was born in Corvallls 46 years ago,
and when a very young man became a
river pilot, running steamers on the Wil
lamette with Captain Eph Baughman, in
the early '70s. . He soon gained the name
of being one of the best pilots on the river,
having excellent judgment and being ab
solutely without fear. When the first
Alaska gold excitement began, he went to
the Stlckeen river, and at once rose to
the first rank among the swift-water pilots
who navigated that hazardous river. He
returned to Portland when the excitement
abated, and was for some years captain of
the Stark-street ferry. When Thomas
Magee started the steamers Gamecock
and Staghound for the Yukon, he engaged
Captain Lane to be commodore of the fleet
he intended to float on that river, but the
early fate of the two steamers brought
Captain Lane back to Portland, where he
has since spent most of his time.
Captain Lane was a man without a bad
habit, and was of a cheery, warm-hearted
disposition, which made him friends where
ever he went There are few men in
Portland whose loss would be so deeply
mourned by those who know them best as
his will be. His wife, who was formerly
Miss Minnie Lee, of East Portland, has
been at his bedside since he fell 111.
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral. The body will be sent to
Portland, and will be interred here.
B
SHEEPMAN IS TROUBLED.
He
Fears Sheep Ranges Will
Leased to Stockraiscrs.
Be
J. I. Carson, a Wyoming sheepbuyer,
who has his headquarters at the Belve
dere, while looking over the Northwest
with a view to sheep purchases, says he
is worried over the proposed leasing of
government lands to stockmen. Mr. Car
son wants 25,000 yearlings, which he ex
pects to drive over the trails through
Idaho and Western Wyoming the ensu
ing summer and fall, but If the govern
ment leases vacant lands to stockmen,
he will not be permitted to drive his
bands across the hitherto free ranges of
the Snake. River valley. He therefore i3
decidedly opposed to any change In 'the
present condition of matters along his
route.
"If that bill becomes a law," he said
yesterday, "I will have to go back home
without any sheep, as I can't afford to
pay freight on the railroads for them.
We have been driving sheep over the
trails for several years, and have thus
been enabled to summer our flocks along
the road, arriving at the Wyoming win
ter ranges with the sheep in fine condi
tion, though, of course, after a series of
frequent clashlngs with the farmers and
stockmen along the route. A band of
7000 head of sheep will cut a wide swath
In a patch of grass, and four of such
bands would make a trail of their own
as they travel over the country. I think
the stockmen of Oregon should oppose
such a law In a body, as they will have a
time trying to sell their sheep, unless
the bands can be driven over the trails."
Idaho stockmen whose ranges He near
the path of these traveling sheep say
a trail six miles wide is made by the
flocks as they pass through the country.
Idaho stockmen are therefore very will
ing that the lands should be leased by,
the government, as the lessees can then
exclude traveling stock.

THE RAINBOW.
Ladles' satisfaction Is In wearing one of
our Rainbow Skirts. They are so con
structed that the inside Is of mackintosh
lining which, runs from the bottom hem
up towards the knee about 18 inches all
the way around the skirt at the bottom
Is waterproof. This Steeps the mud and
splatters that are kicked up by the feet
while walking from going through on

A MiHcaievons Poem.
13 -iNew Tork Sun.
Mr. Markham's poem has no application
to the United i States. Here the man with
the hoe has as, good a chance as an2body
else and may rise to any place for which
his powers fit him. Or, If he sinks, he can
become a Bryanlte shouter, and yawp
about tho "wrongs" of the "producing
classes."
A CUTTING AFFRAY
THAT "WILL AROUSE THE ATTEN
TION OF CULTURED HOMES.
Chickerlns' Chopped, a Stelnivay
Slashed, and a Kimball Bad
ly Cut.
Here are some most unusual opportuni
ties to secure a strictly hign-grade, artistic
upright piano at a considerable saving
in price. First, a Chickering, the finest
ana most costly piano made in America
today, which was used at Miss Soule'd
piano recital In Allsky hall, a short time
ago. In taking this piano out of the hall
and downstairs, it was slightly damaged
at one end. The case was simply marred,
and no harm whatever came to uie ii
slde or tonal qualities of the Instrument.
The piano has been carefully gone over
in our shop, and even the mar on- the case
can hardly be detected. "We would never
consent to sell such a piano for brand
new, however, and are not only willing
to get the wholesale cost, but will further
more allow the purchaser the $35 damage
received from the drayman. A new piano
like this one cannot be bought elsewhere
for less than $625. You will be surprised
when you find for what little money we
can afford to sell this particular piano,
and we will sell it on easy payments, too.
men we nave a neany new stelnway up
right, for which the owner paid a very
nanctsome price some time ago. we doubt
if a duplicate could be secured ordinarily
for less than $500. Take this one now for
$3G0, on terms of $60 down and $20 a month,
or we will accept $350 cash for the bame.
It is a large-size ebonlzed case, without
a blemish, and a bargain worth coming
a thousand miles to get. Then we have
a small-size Kimball upright, which la
the property of a well-known local musi
cian, who leaves very shortly for the East,
to travel and study, and probably to stay.
Back East he will have the use of a
friend's piano, and rather than be com
pelled to pay storage charges for a long
time on this piano, he will take $265 for It.
The piano Is not yet two years old, and
while a small size, is the handsomest and
most beautiful-toned piano you have ever
seen. You cannot tell it from a new one.
$35 down and $15 a month will secure It.
We have also a number of other pianos
ranging in price all the way down to $S0,
and some of these pianos will be sold on
payments of $4, $6 and $8 a month. Come
in and investigate this carefully. Eilers

EAST SIDE AFFAIRS.
Among the ex-Volunteers A Thirty
Foot Sailboat.
Tomorrow evening Gilbert camp, No.
4. Second Oregon veterans, will give a
smoker at the hall in the Ross building,
24 Union avenue, between East Pine and
East Ash streets. Provision was made
for the event at the last regular meeting.
The invitation to attend is extended to all
veterans of the late Spanish and Filipino
wars, whether members of any camp or
not. All will be made welcome that even
ing, one of the objects being to get out
those who have not affiliated with any
camp. It Is expected that there will be a
large delegation from the West Side and
the Alblna camps. It will be a sort of re
union to get all the comrades together,
and the invitation Is so general that every
soldier will be welcome. There will be
no formal programme. The camp will
be called to order, and after business there
will be an adjournment for recess, when
the social functions will take place.
General Summers camp, No. 1, of Alblna,
is meeting with success with the series ot
dances, which are being given every other
Friday night, at Gomez' hall. The camp
is more than paying hall rent and current
expenses from the socials. A committee
is out arranging for a smoker, to take
place in the near future. The comedy,
"That Only Girl," which several of the
members of the camp are rehearsing,
promises to be a great success. Thoso
Who have been privileged to see a re
hearsal state that It will take well with
the public. The time for giving It hat.
not yet been determined, but not until the
performers have their parts thoroughly
in hand. It Is expected that It will have
to be given at least twice. There Is al
ready much Interest shown in it, and In
quiry Is constantly made as to when It
will be given.
New Lights for the Church.
At the Sunnyside Methodist church new
electric lights, with reflectors, have just
been Introduced, with excellent results.
The auditorium is brilliantly Illuminated
by these lights, and the congregation Is
correspondingly pleased. Improvements
of various kinds have been introduced in
this church the past new year, until the
property is in excellent condition.. A new
church Is on tapis .for the present year,
provided all things turn out as hoped for
and expected. That portion of the city is
building up rapidly and substantially, and
all the churches out there are prosperous.

MINING VERY ACTIVE.
Eastern Oregon Properties Are Bein&r
Rapidly Developed.
Colonel F. V. Drake returned last
night from a six weeks' trip through the
mining districts of Eastern Oregon, and
Is stopping at the Imperial.
Warm weather Is prevallnig up there
now. with bright sunshine, and the snow
hag left all the lower levels. At Sumpter
and Granite there Is still enough left for
sleighing. Construction of new buildings
Is being rushed right along at Sumpter,
and the many new cottage homes are all
modern edifices, with water, electric
lights and all conveniences.
"Mining matters continue very active,"
said Colonel Drake, "and contracts have
been closed for smelters at both Sump
ter and Sparta. Work In the mines Is
being pushed right along, and the kinds
of mines that are being opened are per
manent and lasting. Placer mines are
likely to be worked out, but with these
quartz mines it Is a different proposition.
"One of the owners of the Red Boy mine
has gone to Chicago to buy machinery
capable of sinking 2000 feet on the prop
erty. Hundreds of tons of machln&ry
have come and are coming to those mines
from Chicago and San Francisco. People
there do not realize that Portland foun
dries can make machinery of that kind.
If the fact is well advertised, thl3 big
trade from now on can be secured by
Portland. It will then be more convenient
for miners up there quickly to secure du
plicate pieces of machinery In case of
accidents. . It is trado that should be
looked after.
"It would be a most excellent Invest
ment for a party of Portland business
men to make a special trip up there
and see the wonderful conditions exist
ing. It Is impossible to realize those
conditions without personal Inspection.
A party of Portland business men would
receive a royal reception up there."
