1 -sraat you to thank tho good people of
your city for the manner In -which they
support a -worthy cause" said Lieutenant
JL N. Wood last evening, -prhen counting
up receipts ior the Venvflle ransom iund.
"Bvery person I -meet sympathizes -with
the -work I have nnfiertaken, and IT he Is
unable to give substantial support, lends
It his hearty sanction. But this Is not the
only recognition received, as you Trill ob
serve by the subscription list. I am a
stranger among you, and perhaps not In
formed on circulating a subscription list,
but in two days Z have raised approxi
mately SIM. Perhaps .another day -will
see the required amount. 1 can do noth
ing tomorrow, as it Is Sunday, but Mon
day will start out early and endeavor to
complete the fund."
lieutenant "Wotfd has not been in Port
land for a long period. Wi.en he began
the -work of raising the subscription he
expected several long delays and strong
arguments. Contrary to expectations, he
ilnds everybody informed of young "Ven
vllle's sad fate and eager to do some
thing. A. bare Introduction brings forth
whatever aid those visited led able to
g've. In some instances one person well
acquainted -with all the persons donating
makes the collection and brings the money
in. This greatly lightens the -work of the
Lieutenant. H. H. Emmons, -who donated
55 yesterday, was personally acquainted
with tho young lad, and said he would bo
glad to give much more If it would assist
in his recapture from the Filipinos. Many
persons do not know where Lieutenant
Wood's office Is located. It is No. 001

sixth floor. He is the only person circu

TOOK TOLL FROM AN ESTATE
Ban Francisco Administrator Collects
Money for an Orcgrouian.
William McLean, executor of the will
of William Ryan, deceased, filed his final
report in the County Court yesterday.
Ryan bequeathed JW74. on deposit In the
Hibernia Bank, San Francisco, to his
daughter. Carrie Reidel, and to his son,
George Ryan, two notes amounting to
$2005, $250 aph, and a certificate of deposit
in the Portland Savings Bank for $2100.
One of the notes for $522 hab beon col
lected, and tho other, for S14S3, Is still
unpaid Xotbing has been realized on the
Portland Savingb Bank certificate.
The executor states that when he en
deavored to collect the money In the Hi
bernia Savings Bank, the bank refused
to pay until a specimen of the signature
of the deceased was produced, and desired
to know tho maiden name of his mother,
and where he was bora. The relatives
had no signatures, and could not obtain
one, and were also unable to furnish the
other information demanded. According
ly, the executor says, J. A. Drinkhouse.
Public Administrator at San Francisco,
took out letters of administration in that
city, although this step was entirely un
necessary, as there were no debts against
the estate in San Francisco, and Mr.
Drinkhouse refused to turn over the
money until protected by a bond, and then
surrendered only $1500. He received $5203
from the bank, and the $700 retained, ex
cept $35, was used up in the expense of
the administration by Drinkhouse. so that
out of $5200 the estate received only $4555.
The attorneys here were paid $100 fees
and $100 expenses for attending to the San
Francisco matter, and the fees for attend
ing to the general business of the estate
are $250. There is also tho compensation
of the executor, and Carrie Reidel receives
the balance, except what she has already
been paid, about $1400.
William Ryan was a well-known ex
pressman of this city. How the Public
Administrator of San Francisco got away
with $66B of the money Is not specifically
explained.
OPEN-AIR SERVICE,
VnloiiMeellnc of .Episcopal Churches
at Hoilnday Park.
JTcsxt Sunday. August 26. there will be
an open-air service at Holladay Park,
conducted by the clergy, about seven in
number, assisted by the vested choirs of
Che Episcopal churches in Portland. The
service will begin promptly at 5 P. M.. j
and close not liter than 6:30 P. M. It is
Intended that such families as wish to
do so shall take their luncheon and spend
the day or afternoon at the park. Mr.
Lighter, choir-master and organist of
Trinity Church, will have charge of the
music. The choir will comprise between
CO and GO voices, and old, familiar hymns
will be selected for the occasion, in order
that all the congregation may join in
the service. By request of Bishop Mor
ris, the Rev. Edmund T. Simpson will give
the sermon. Mr. Simpson ha6 been hold- J
ing eerricer In behalf of his own church
for the last two Sundays at Holladay
Park, and these have'been attended -with
such success thit it is thought best to
give larger scope to the idea, making it a
union service. A cordial invitation is ex
tended to all to attend. The full pro
gramme will be published the day of the
service.
ASCENDED PIKKA'CLE ROCK.
Snocesi of Tiro Parties "WIio Climbed
Mount Jefferson in. 1S97.
SALEM, Or.. Aug. 18. Some of those
who accompanied the Mazama expedition
to Mount Jefferson, recently, express a
doubt as to the ascent of Pinnacle Rock
ever laving been made. The ascent was
made twice in 1237. In July of that year
Charles E. Roblln, of Salem; Pearl Black
erby, of Sllverton; Miss Helen Hlbbard,
and Miss Musa Geer, of Salem, made the
ascent linear fthe guidance of G. L.
Gates, of Gates Station. The members
of this party cut a sapling and having
erected it among the rocks on the sum
mit, iastened a small flag to It They then
undertook to take pictures of the locality
as a proof of their achievement. On
their return It was discovered that Mr.
Pinnacle roclc, Mount Jefferson.
Roblln had put his films in wrong side
foremost and that no pictures had been
secured.
About August 11 a party consisting of
Mr. Roblln, Judge George H. Burnett, E.
C. Neal. of Albany, J. H. Collins and G.
L. Gate, of Gates' Station, made the
ascent for the express purpose of secur
ing pictures. They made their start for
the summit about 4 o'clock In the morn
ing, starting above the timber line at 1
o'clock P. M. They were on the summit
and secured the pictures, two of which
are herewith given. One picture is tak
en from a considerable distance below
and shows the two peaks. The one farth
est away Is the higher, but appears lower
because the picture was taken from be
neath. The party made the ascent of the
higher peak and found the Stars and
Stripes still flying, though the sapling
was bent to a horizontal position. While
Judge Bennett was writing In the Ma
zama records and E. C. Neal was holding
the flag, Mr. Roblln protographed tho
group from a position on a rock that
projected from the pinnacle somewhat
lower down.
'The Inability of the Mazamas to gain
the summit thl6 year may be accounted
for in two ways. The snow Una Telng
lower, a precipitous cliff may have been
exposed that presented no difficulties to
the climbers of 1897. Again, the rocks
may have been shattered by lightning so
as to make the ascent more difficult
than it was formerly. But, however that
may be, no one will question the ve
racity of the men and women who say
they made the ascent in 1S97.
NEW PLUMBING INSPECTOR
Thomas E. Hulme Succeeds M. P.
Fleming to the Office.
M, P. Fleming, Inspector of Plumbing
under Mayor Storey's administration, was
succeeded In the office Friday by Thomas
E. Hulme. W. Adams, Mr. Fleming's
deputy, has also been notified that he
will be let out soon. It is stated among
those In position to know that C. F.
Petsch, the well-known tinner, of Sell
wood, will be given Mr. Adams position
as Deputy. Plumbing Inspector. Mr.
Hulme is a plumber by trade, but for the
past two years has been supply driver In
tho fire department. Mr. Petsch is a tin
ner, and for the past few years has been
conducting a shop in Sellwood. Plumb
ing Inspector Fleming and his deputy,
Mr. Adams, won many friends during
their administration. Mr. Fleming estab
lished an excellent standard In the offic6.
It Is largely since he assumed the duties
that practicing physicians have co-operated
thoroughly with the office In ferret
ing out causes of contagious diseases.
There are calls every day or two for the
Plumbing Inspector to Investigate prem
ises where a case of sickness Is discov
ered, and often defective plumbing is lo
cated near where typhoid breeds. Mr.
Fleming was so active in this work that
all who rekquired his assistance were
highly pleased.
Enforcement of the plumbing ordinance
too' strictly Is said by his friends to be
the cause of his removal. By this Is
meant that he antagonized, the Master
Plumbers' Association. It is well known
that this organisation has been opposing
Mr. Fleming for some tuae. Before the
June election their displeasure had been
expressed In very positive manner. In
nearly every Instance where a determined
enemy was found, say these friends, it
was discovered that the Plumbing In
spector had called somebody's attention
to a violation of the ordinance.
Me. Fleming and? Mr. Adams' pro
nounced leaning for -Mayor Howe's candi
dacy "before election came near costing
them their positions then. Mayor Storey
called both into his office and read tho
riot act" to'hem, and they understood
that -they were to be removed. When
-their candidate won, they felt that they
Tiad taken chances and were then secure.
But a political position Is never Becure,
as they have learned.
Mr. Hulme has done much work as a
Journeyman plumber, and stands well in
the trade.

PIANOS AND POLITICS
OF GREAT iATEREST A3TD XX
PORTAKCE TO H02& SEEKERS.
Knnm Beooxd Eelifaed, Iadicatlnc
Oregon's Marked Advance tm.
Culture and Refinement.
The fact that the inhabitants of Kan
sas, "bleeding Kansas," purchased last
year something like 2000 pianos has been
used quite often of late as a convincing
campaign argument to prove that good
times and prosperity prevail even la the
Sunflower state.
The record Is no doubt a -wonderful
one and deserving of mention but, as
usual, the great Pacific Northwest can
beat the record twice over. Kansas has
nearly three times the population of Ore
gon and Washington combined, but tho
three leading Western dealers two houses
in Portland and one on the Sound who
virtually control tho piano business of
the Northwest, will sell this year almost
twice that number of pianos.
In the East this statement would no
doubt receive a great deal of attention,
but from enterprising Western business
men it will hardly attract more than
passing comment And while it is con
vincing evidence as to tho prosperous con
ditions of the people of the great North
west,. It simply bears out a statement
made by Mr. Eilers, of Ellers Piano
House, nearly two years ago:
"No branch of education," ha said,
"tends more to refine, elevate and make
happy the people of a community than
music In the home. This Western country
. o-ntnir to rlrtft the tomnost crest of the
great wave of prosperity that is sweeping
over this country, and our generous West
erner, so soon as he gets his head above
sagebrush or fir 'stumps, turns his ener
gies immediately to higher education, cul
ture and progress. In this a fine piano
over plays an Important part, and when
wo consider the great number of homes
that are now being furnished with the
refining and elevating influences of music,
it shows beyond question that our people
are abreast of educational progress, and
that the most cultured families of the
East, seeking residence in this state, will
find here their peers In education, intel
ligence and refinement, and a most de
sirable community in which to take u
permanent residence.
"In no cities o'f the East of their Blze
are there so many flourishing musical
organizations as in the cities of the great
Northwest. Considering population, there
will be three times the number of fine
pianos sold In the Pacific Northwest than
in any other section of tho United States,
and Ellers Piano House will be found a
most prominent factor in bringing this
about."
This was said nearly two years ago:
The phenomenal record made here since
then by Eilers' Piano House Tn the salo
of the three great American pwanos which
they handle the Chickerlng, of Boston;
the Weber, of New Tork, ana the Kim
ball, of Chicago 13 a matter of general
knowledge, and has attracted widespread
attention and admlra-tfon. No house in
tho United States has ever made such
progress. And that the phenomenal rec
ord of last year will be more than main
tained Is evidenced by the fact that or
ders are now placed by Ellers Piano
House with Eastern factories for no less
than 23 carloads of pianos, and, in addi
tlon to these, quite a number of ship
ments are now on the way. Tuesday a
big carload will arrive from Chicago, In
which .pianos are shipped without boxes,
under what Is known as the harness system,-
which method originated with Eilers
Piano House, and which effects a saving
of nearly one-half the freight charges,
besides doing awaywith the cost of boxes
and boxing. Thursday another carload
of Klmballs will arrive, containing a
number of fancy exhibition pianos and
organs for their exhibition at the Car
nival. Friday a monster car of organs Is
due. By Saturday will come a largo car
of SlngerB, then a carload of Chlckerlngs,v
to be followed by a carload of Webers,
and still another carload, of Mlltons will
arrive by the middle of next week.
All this business Is transacted in a
quiet, unassuming manner, and few peo
ple who pass the elegant and strictly
modern establishment of Ellers Piano
House In their new music building, of
fice 351 Washington street, have any defi
nite knowledge as to the great volume
of business transacted from this house.
AT THE TENNIS COURTS.
Trro Baseball Players Enter the
Lists.
As the Fall tennis tournament ap
proaches, challenge matches are becoming
more numerous. During the past week
four matches were played on the Multno
mah courts, and in two Of them the chal
lenging player succeeded In advancing
himself to the clas3 next above him. Tho
closest and most interesting match was
that between C. D. Lewis and R. A.
Letter, which was won by the latter, 3-6,
6-4, 6-4. This puts Lelter In the second
class, along with Cheal, Gifford, Lewis
and Andrews. The first set was won by
Lewis comparatively easily, Lei ter netting
many balls with his chop stroke, and
Lewis winning many aces with his deep,
well-placed drives. The second set re
solved Itself Into a server's battle,, each
player winning on his own service till
the gameB were 4-4. Lelter changed his
tactics and kept Lewis from the net by
accurate lobbing and careful placing. The
next two games and the set went to
Lelter; score, 6-4. The third set was long
and hard fought. Every game but three
was deuce, and each point was a strug
gle. The set went to Lelter, 6-4. It took
almost two hours to complete the match.
Considerable Interest Is being manifest
ed in the tennis career of the two base
ball players Jordan Zan and Brandt
Wlckersham who have recently an
nounced their intention of wielding the
racquet. The two were classified in ithe
sixth class. Zan, with the idea of ad
vancing, challenged Thlelsen, but after
winning the first set, 6-3, he lost the
next two, 6-0, 8-6. Wlckersham could
not see his partner beaten, and challenged
Thlelsen himself, with greater success.
After losing the first set, 4-6, he won the
next two and the match, 6-0, 6-4. With
the games 4-0 against him in the last set,
he made a desperate stand, and careful
placing, combined with unsteadiness on
the part of Thlelsen, won for him the
next six games. This places Wlckersham
In the fifth class.
Yesterday afternoon Goss defeated An
drews In a challenge match, 6-1, 6-3.
Neither played In his usual form, and only
occasionally did the match approach bril
liancy. Tho match by points:
