THE SUXDAT OBEGOKIAX, PORTLAND, AUGUST 12, 1900. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Amtienient Tontsbt. ALISKTS -VUfTKK GARDEN rThlfd and Ucrrtson streets) Concert alstilly. Astohia Grais Sudden- Death. The Coroner -was notified yesterday of the BtidSen death, Friday afternoon, Of JHs3 Maud C. Porter, an Jistoria girl, -who had been visiting a friend. Miss Grace V. Jones, living at 1303 Macadam street. Friday morning; the two glrtleft home to visit a friend's. Mrs. A. A. Thomas, living at Mount Harmony, eight miles northwest of Portland, They went out on the St. John's motor, were ferried across the, "Willamette River near Linn ton, and climbed to the top of the hill to Mrs. Thomas' residence. While resting there Miss Porter was seised with a audden hemorrhage of the lungs, -which her friends were unable to check, and she died soon after the first attack. She was a girl 21 years old, living with a sis ter In Astoria. Her sudden death was a sad blow to her friends, to whom she seemed strong and in the best of health. The burial will take place In Astoria. Takes Starch Out of Poucemex. The police as a Tale become discouraged In arresting violators of city ordinances when the arrested parties are let oft with a reprimand, even after pleading guilty. An old patrolman said yesterday that sidewalk scorchers, lantpless night wheelmen and other ordinance breakers who are arrested never forgive the ar resting officer, and after "being dis charged with a -caution" often Insult the arrester with: "VTeJl, you couldn't do nothln' with me, could ye?" The patrol men on being ordered to arrest ordinance violators make no exception in arresting, and are quite often openly threatened with: "I'll see the Chief a.nd the Police Commissioners about your case, and you "won't have a chance Jo be so officious." When such a man 1p met after a nice talking to by the Municipal Judge or Chief of Police, the patrolman Is glad ta look he other way. Giftord's Latest. The best - known general view photographer on the Coast is Glfford, with headquarters at The Dalles, Or. It is only fair- to say In this connection that Gifford today owns the largest collection of Columbia River, Mount Hood and other vie'ns of the Pa cific Northwest ever taken by any pho tographer. Some of the finest produc tions of this collection are masterpieces, copies of which today ornament the par lors of many t)f Oregon's wealthiest citi zens. Gilford's "Mount Hood from Lost L.ako" has made him famous. His lat est Is the reproduction of a scene from 41 point on the Columbia River a few miles east of The Dalles. For harmony and coloring and for faithful detail as it may relate to value of a true perspective, GlfCord's last view Is from one of the best negatives ever -developed under his fcklllful touch. Colored Help in Texas. An Oregon woman, who returned last week from a two months' visit in Texas, says she thought it would be comfortable to live in a state where there was so rauc- colored help, as housekeeping would not be the worry it is here. She found, however, that Ood help Is as Bcarce In Texan cities as In Oregon. The colored servants, as a rule, never care to stay more than two days in a place. They usually sleep at home, and there is no telling that u domestic will return again after going to her home at night. "They have a great notion of telephoning," she says, "and when the average domestic gets a few cents ahead, it goes for telephoning to some friend. They have no desire to better their condition, and go in for hav ing all the good time they can in the present." Contracts Let for Feed. Colonel J. W. Jacobs, United States Army. Chief Quartermaster of the Department of the Columbia, yesterday let to grain dealers of Portland and other Oregon cities con tracts for supplying to the Government "S0f tons or hay and 3000 tons 'of oats. The hay Is of the finest quality, and is double compressed, while only oats that would stand Government Inspection were taken.. The feed Is for transportation to the Philippines. Four Portland firms bid on tho contract. The awards were as fol lows: Hay Albers & Schneider, B tons: Hogge & Storp, 600 tons; Nottingham & Co., 1500 tons; C. W. Barlow, of Barlow, Or , 150 tons.

The Coroner's iuxy held an inquest yesterday afternoon on the body of Ben Broadbent, who died suddenly of heart failure at ttie Overland House, First and Couch streets, yesterday morning. Broadbent was a la boring man, 57 years old, a native of Peoria, 111., and had lived in Portland 1$. years. He had been sick only for a day, and complained of a pain in his chest. His friends ministered to his wants, and were surprised to find him dead in his bed yesterday morning. A verdict of death from heart failure was brought In by the jury His father, Wil liam Broadbent, of Kawanee, HI , Was notified, and instructions were received . to bury the body in Portland. Lord Russell's Visit to Portland. Lord Russell, the dead Chief Justice of England, was in Portland with Henry "Villard and party in 1SS3, and was a guest during his stay of a week or more of the late Henry Falling. He was at that time one of the most distinguished men in his profession in England, and was already spoken of as a future Chief Justice. He was greatly Impressed with the beauty of Portland's surroundings, and expreissd tho hope .that he might visit Oregon again before ho died. In the party with him were Lord Sackvllle, who was a guost of James Laldlaw; St. John Broderick. now Under Secretary of State, and a number of other distinguished English men. No One Knows the Object. Various members of the Common Council spoken to concerning the meeting of that body called by Mayor Rowe for Monday after noon state that they are not aware what the object of the meeting Is, having first heard of It through the newspapers. City Auditor Devlin says the Mayor sent a message to City Attorney Long from Ocran Park asking that notice of a meet ing be published, which was done. One man remarked that as the Councilmen now receive no salary, they do not hang around tho City Hall very much, only coming hen they have to, and that they do not ascertain what is about to happen and things that are being talked about. Disposing or Old Crematort. The sale of the old garbage crematory at Rocky Point, WiUamotte Slough, was discussed at tl e meeting of the committee on health anl police of the Common Council jes tcrday. The matter has boon under con sideration for a month past. No definite action was taken, but it was suggested that the property be advertised for sale. The committee will receive bids for tags to be issued with dog licenses. Ahmort Repairs. Tho County Com mlst.oners yesterday opened and rejected f.o bids for plumbing work at the Ar m"Ty building, as it was decided not to have the work done at the, present time.

IX Lain, a San Francisco millionaire, who built & narrow-guage road five miles long -at Nome last Spring, passed through Portland yesterday on his way north. He is one who does not think Nome is a. fake, and he prides himself j on owning the railroad nearest to the North "Pole. He was in too much of a hurry yesterday to talk about bis Inter ests there, but he said Nome would yet prove Itself to be the richest mining camp in the world. Mr, Lain has achieved some notoriety as the purchaser of a large number of placer claims from Nome Laplanders, but these were jumped, to a great extent, as the Laplanders had not "declared their intentions'- until after they had located the claims. He has sev eral rich olacer diggings on Anvil andL Dexter Creeks, and built the raljroad td t transport heavy machinery to work them. Will CoNrrxuB Catching Salmon. There is still considerable fishing being done oa the Washington side of the Lower Columbia, according to J. S. Has ten, of Skamokawa, who was in Portland yesterday. He says the run is very good, and both seiners and glllnetters hate to let go, especially as the Washington Fish Commissioner is conveniently absent at this particular time. By and by, when the canners on that side desire to shut down, the Commissioner will come along and arrest several for violating the state fishing laws. The violators will then be fined $50 each, though they have caught several thousand dollars' worth of flsh since August 10. "That Is the way it has been for the past two years," Mr. Masten said, "and It looks as though the game -was to be repeated this year." Will Not Give Up Yet. L B. Ham mond, of Portland, writes from Nome that he Is preparing to set his big dredger up on a scow and will have It towed up Snake River to a point where two large buckejt dredgers nre making money, a few miles above Nome. The dredger was mounted on three huge barrel-like rol lers, to enable It to be moved about the beach, but as no gold was found there, the rollers will be taken off and the dredge set qn a scow. Mr. Hammond 13 an experienced mining machinery manP and will not give up until he has given that -country a fair trial. Many Mountain Trout. A. Frlese, -who with a party of four spent -a few days of last week on Zigzag Mountain, near Mount Hood, says two men caught 804 mountain trout In Salmon River, with in two days.

This Is one of the finest farms In the state, in a high state of cultivation, and Its products for many years have been largely marketed In Portland.

A SALE AND So-Called Five or Six-Hundred Dollar Instruments That Came to Grief The auction sale of a lot of nearly new pianos that had been taken In part 'pay ment for new Kimball, or Weber, or Chlckerlng pianos, by Eilcrs Piano House, created a great deal of 'Interest last Wednesday. Nothing can show the goodness of the high-grade instruments carried by Eilers Piano House, better than tho great num ber of really fine-looking pianos of other makes that people are constantly turning, over "to us in part payment for new Chlck erings, or Webers. or Klmballs. Jn this sale were Included some very showy, large size, gaildlly carved pianos, which, if judged simply by appearances, might well have borne out the assertions of th& agents who had originally sold them as being "5C00, or even 5600. instru ments"! But the majority of these in struments had not been in the "people's homes to. exceed a week before they found out the true character of these pi anos, and they promptly discarded them at Eilers Piano House. What a story of trickery, deception and,, might have related! What an interesting history some of them had! Some had even figured in the law courts! To go into details would consume too much val uable space. If It were possible, however, to put a detailed history of each ohe or these Instruments in the hands of every resident of the Northwest, mighty few of these unscrupulous piano peddlers would henceforth be able to ply their craft in this section. One of these instruments was a style "B" Schaeffer, in gaudily machine carved oak case, which Mr. Larsen, of Alblna, had been compelled to take at the end of a lawsuit and which he then Immediately turned over to us, In part payment for ai new Kimball, in spite or the fact that this piano was brand-new, and although these Instruments have on, several occa sions been represented as "?450 Instru ments" (whatever that may mean), the best price obtainable for It was $157 50, and it was sold at that price to the bidder.. Another Schaeffer. the most expensive style turned out by this factory, largest style 10, mahogany case, which had not been in the original purchaser's house to exceed ten. days, when It' was turned In toward payment of a " new Chlckerlng, 'this fancy style 10, brand-new ScHaeffer, accompanied by the factory's warranty, wns so'd for J1GT.50. The largest sired Ludwlg piano. in fanciest carved oak case, taken toward pay ment of a, Kimbnll, a virtually new piano, brought $177 51, while a mahegany Klngsburv, not quite a year old. was knocked down for tl-5 This was also ex changed In part pavment for a Kimball. A! nearly new Smith & Birnes brought $159 50: another Ludwlg, also the largest size, but In somewhat plainer oak case than the first, fetched up to $140; a third Schaeffer, somewhat used, but apparent ly, new, went for $1S0, and the others at prices all the Tay down to ?fo. If these pianos had been worth more money, dealers would have bidden them In for more money, and therefore this auction sale will demonstrate conclusively the average value of thi class of Instru ments. Henceforth,. In future, when such a piano is offered us toward payment of a fine Chlckerlng. or a Weber, or a Kim ball, we w ill be guided bv these figures in miking allowances for them. And the moal of the story? Buy noth ing but a flrct-cliss strictly high-grade piano, an instrument of known merit and standing, a Chlckerlng, or o Weber, or a Kimball, and buv It of Eilers . Piano House, where. If -vour purchase does not provf entlrelv satlsfno'or', or as repre sented, you have a positive guarantee d '.'money back." We are selling the greatest number of fine pianos tbat are todav pld in the Northwest, and we have brought the cost of selling good pianos down to the very lowest possible point, so tbat we are en abled to furnish you a better Instrument for less money either for cash or on time, than can b obt3led elsewhere in the great Pacific West.
