There is considerable interest in the an
nouncement that the. Portland Caledonian
Club has engaged the famous Kiltie's
Band, Gordon Highlanders, of Canada, to
give two concerts at the Exposition build
ing, February 13 and 14. People who have
heard this band play In the East say it
is first class In every respect, and eauai
to any of the great bands now on the
road, if not superior, from the fact that
Scotch music forms the principal reper
toire. The musicians have been selected
from the best bands in Canada, they all
wear kilts, and the street parade will be
well worth seeing. The Kilties, at their
cencerts, play, sing, dance and tell stories.
Lucile Collette, 10 years old, a favorite
little violinist in this city, was the soloist
at a concert given by the Ladies' Musical
Club at Taconuv, last Tuesday, and met
with a flattering reception. She played
seven pieces all entirely from memory.
A Tacoma newspaper, in speaking of her,
said: "Her playing of Popper's 'Gavotte'
and Mendelssohn's 'Spring Song was es
pecially dainty and happy. She gives evi
dence of careful teaching, and executes
difficult positions and harmonies with a
facility well-nigh, appalling to many older
students who have worked with the violin
for years." The little girl's mother, Mrs.
Collette, was formerly Miss Flora Gill,
of Tacocna.
TALES OF THE TOWN
THE buyer for a local department
store returned from a trip to New
York and Philadelphia yesterday,
having epent two weeks on the trip, and
sleeping and eating all the time on a
through train. The train was three times
held up by snowdrifts, onco for four days.
But the crew manaced to keep the cars
heated, and the passengers suffered no ac
tual hardships, although the meals served
were not all that they might have been.
In describing his experiences tho Port
land man said:
"We were a pretty Jolly lot, and there
was a theatrical troupe on board' for a
part of the time. We played cards a good
deal, and had amateur theatricals and
minstrel shows. It Is surprising how much
talent develops on such wholly Impromptu
occasions. We had no musical Instru
ments except a harmonica, but the brake
man, who owned that, made almost a
Sousa orchestra out of It. It goes with
out saying that he was worked over
time." "And tho meals?"
"Well, they were er just meals. I
don't know as I could say anything else
about them. The eggs we got for break
fast after our four days' hold-up were a
trifle fatigued, and we were aN whole lot
shy on fresh vegetables. But we had
clams. We had clams without limit and
until further orders.' A shipment Intend
ed for another dining car had been de
livered to ours, and that gave us a dou
ble dose. We had 'em raw and fried and
stewed and frittered and chowdered and
pattled, until we used to pass up our
meals altogether to side-step "the tough
little bivalves. I never want to encoun
ter one again."
"Anybody sick?"
"Not a soul. We didn't get much news
of the outside world, though, and formed
the opinion that a man doesn't know how
much his daily paper means to him until
the day comes when it is missing. Then
It seems as though a part of his life had
left him. Speaking of newspapers,, too,
reminds that the afternoon editions in
New York these days have got a system
of getting out extras In trying to beat
each other that gives an unsophisticated
stranger from the West the fantods.
"You. get the noon edition when you
get up in the morning, and the last 4
o'clock edition is on your table at break
fast. When your watch shows you that
it Is 11:30 o'clock In the morning the news
boys in the streets are bawling about the
sensational Items in the extra midnight
edition. It mokes you feel woozy. You
sort of get the idea that the next number
will tell you what happened tomorrow, or
something like that. I tell you those New
York yellows have got old Father Time
buffaloed, and they say it is getting worse
all the time."
"And business?"
"Business Is fine. Tho awful price of
coal is a disturbing factor in some lines,
but everybody in the East is hoping for
a speedy relaxationln present conditions.
There has been a good deal of suffering
because of lack of fuel."
"Politics?"
"Didn't hear a thing about politics till I
got home. Then I struck It in bunches,
but I don't know what it's all about; do
you?"
RECENTLY the manager and the
guests at a fashionable apartment
houso in Portland were annoyed by weird
odors which nightly permeated the corri
dors. They were most pronounced late In
tho evenings, and after a whole week of
amateur detective work the manager
found that it was the nightly habit of a
musician on tho top floor to cook onion
soup on a gas stove in his room.
"I couldn't buy it at any of the res
taurants," he said plaintively. In broken
English, when told that he must seek
qharters elsewhere. "Tho people in Port
land don't eat onion soup, and I can't get
along without it."
But his defense did not save him. The
manager suggested that he buy a wall
tent for a residence.
but this year they seem determined to
stay with us. I have tried to explain it in
a number of ways, but I have not been
able to do so to my own satisfaction.
"Plenty of work, you say? Of course
there is, but these people won't work.
That Is what makes the mystery of their
existence the more difficult to solve, so
long as we can't catch 'em stealing. They
Just hang around tho rear rooms of third
class saloons, coming out occasionally
for a walk when the sun shines. We
know they're no good, and they know we
know it, but until they give us some ex
cuse we can't send 'em to the rockpile.
A detective told me the other day he
thought they were waiting over to graft
on the Exposition crowds in 1905, and
mebbe he's right."
A POLICEMAN who patrols a beat in
ono of the least fashionable parts of
tho city, said as he came off duty last
night:
"There are more undesirable residents
In Portland now than ever Wintered here
before. There has been no great increase
in evil-doing, so far as the records show,
and 1 don't know how these people man
age to live, but I see them every day.
Uusually they begin to go south as soon
as the cold weather sets in, most of them
striking for Southern California or Texas,
IF THE burglar whd entered tho resi
dence of Orson M. Seward In Fruit
Valley, Clark County, Washington, at
midnight last Saturday will repeat the
maneuver and take chances on what fol-.
lows, he or his heirs will be paid $50 In
real money. Mr. Seward says so himself.
Tho burglar at his first attempt did not
get anything of value except professional
experience, and Mr. Seward failed in a
laudable attempt to get the burglar. He
wants to have another try at him, and in
a communication to The Oregonlan makes
the offer of $50 flat, with no side bet, and
no embarrassing technicalities.
The burglar forced his way into the
Seward residence, but in doing so aroused
the head of the house, who made a noise
In getting out of bed. The burglar heard
him and fled, with Mr. Seward after him,
the latter letting drive with his Win
chester at ever' Jump, but without effect.
The marauder did not try to find the hard
and dry places in the trail, but tore along
through tho mud, and Mr. Seward tho
next day could fallow the torn-up earth
for a couple of miles, whereOt suddenly
became normal again. Tho plain infer
ence is that the burglar had an accom
plice with an airship.
"I don't fix any exact time for him to
try It over again," says Mr. Seward, In
making his offer. "Any tlhie, day or night,
he will be welcome, and the money is
his as soon as he makes good. We have
been kind of lonesome in Fruit Valley for
some time, and a little thing like this
does us good. I ain't as good a sprinter
In the dark as he is, but I'm pretty good
yet on the shcot. Just advertise that I
want him to come and play with me once
more, and the only thing I ask.is for the
best man to win."
In sporting parlance, Mr. Seward seems
to have been a little lato In issuing his
"defi." It is a full week since the bur
glar visited him, and the offer may not
reach his eye at this time.
"IT IS unfortunate for Bremerton that
I tho town has received so much un
favorable advertisement through the pub
lished decision of the Navy Department
not to send any more warships there,"
said C. B. Williams, of Seattle, at the
Portland last night. "There Is much truth
in the statement that there are low-class
dives In the place, which make it bad
for the jackles who go ashore there, Jjut
the dives did not come to Bremerton un
til after tho jackles came, and they will
follow the Jackle3 to tho next placo our
great and good Government sends them.
"There are plenty of good people and
-plenty of legitimate business houses in
Bremerton, and these do not deserve the
treatment they have received, Tho para
sites who prey upon the soldiers and sail
ors simply trail along behind the regi
ment or the battle-ship. They will leave
Bremerton now, but It will only bo to
move on to the next port that Is favored
by the department. Tho condition of
affairs is unfortunate, and thero seems to
be no permanent remedy for it."
AGREE with Mr. Beardsley that
I Charlie Hoyt's humor was a type in
itself, but he overlooked the lino in "A
Temperance Town which always hits the
house hardest," said William Lamp, the
clever young leading Juvenile at Baker's,
yesterday. "It is where the old farmer
philosopher remarks, 'No, married men
don't live longer than single men; It only
seems longer.' "
ROF. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON,
the colored educational leader of tho
Tuskeegee, Alabama, Institute, who Is
now touring the Pacific Coast, is expected
to reach Portland about January 25, ac
cording to advices received here yester
day. x

pany, lias officially expressed the opinion
that no award has been made by the jury
in the matter of an official emblem sub
mitted to them some time ago In New
York, when the design of Charles Hollo
way, of Iowa, was selected as the best of
fering In the competition. As the matter
now stands the World's Fair is without
an official emblem. The contest 13 finished
and Its result has been that Mr. Hollo
way's design has received the verdict of
being the best design.
The statement was made at the admin
istration building that It was not possible
to use the Holloway design as an official
emblem, but that undoubtedly It would be
converted into a poster for advertising
purposes.
