Paul, says he will not in future advfse friends where to spend a holiday. Because, he wanted to see & number of his acquaintances have a Jolly time last Thursday, he, out of the goodness of his heart, urged them to' go to the state fair on Portland day. They took his advice, more to please Mr. Casey than anything else, but were crowded about at the Union Depot, and could not get aboard the train because the Southern Pacific did not have cars enough to carry its passengers. For the next two days Mr. Casey was called to the telephone frequently, only to have abuse heaped upon his head by the friends he advised to attend the fair on Portland day. R. N. Ely, a Salem contractor, was in Portland the first of the week, when rain threatened to mar the success of the State Fair. "I am not a pessimist in any sense of the term," explained Mr. Ely, "but I have never seen the State Fair season arrive that it was I not accompanied by rain. Several years ago the fair management planned to beat the rainmaker and arranged to hold the exhibition in July, and to the surprise of all it rained every day." Dr. George S. Wright, of McMinn vllle. State Senator from Yamhill Coun ty, is yet to be convinced in what way the creation of the Oregon Railroad Commission has been any benefit in lm- proving the train service on the West j Side. He declares that the Portland i Corvallls train on the Yamhill divis I ion has been on time scarcely a single : day following the passage of the Rail road Commission bill. At the Hotel Portland one night last , week Henry K. Judson, a commercial 1 man from New York City, related an I experience he had with two Seattle boosters on a Coast-bound train a few ! days before. One of the hot-air cham ' plons, turning to Mr. judson, declared that Seattle was destined to be 'the greatest city in the United States. This statement had no sooner been made than the speaker's companion ven tured the prediction that in five years . the population of Seattle would sur pass that of New York. But this was . too much for the New Yorker, who re plied: "My dear friends. If you but knew it, there are 5,000,000 people in New York City today whg have never heard of such a place as Seattle." Nick Whitehead, former manager of the Frakes team of the Trl-City League, now vice-president of the league, is as rabid a baseball fan as ever lived. The other day at a game between St. Johns and the Frakes, Nick became so ex cited In the ninth, when the score stod tied, that he left his seat in the grandstand and went outside the grounds, witnessing the remainder of the contest through a knothole in the fence. "Bill" Wallace, bald-headed and over 43. was sitting in his office the other day, wearing a Sunny Jim smile. When asked the cause of his good humor. Bill pulled out an Eastern auto jour nal, and showed an advertisement of an automobile in which appeared the statement that William Wallace, a 16-year-old boy of Portland, Or., recently broke the world's record for ten miles in tho automobile pictured in the ad vertisement. . Patrolman Bob Phillips, jailer on the second relief of police, has been often taken for Mike Mitchell, left fielder of last year's champion Portland team, i who is not playing with the Cincin nati National League team. Bob looks enough like the famous player to be his brother, and often while walking on the streets in plain clothes the po liceman Is addressed as "Mike." When it comes to rooting at a base ball game. Big Jack Parrott, brother of Rishie and Jiggs and Archie, all . well-known baseball players, has any I man in the city beaten. Jack can make more noise and do more effective root ing than a dozen average fans, all ' armed with megaphones. Jack always . attends the Tri-City League games whenever there are any within a ra dius of 53 miles, but when there are none of the small league games played he takes in the Coast League contests. If you hear a voice like the Angel Ga briel's trumpet at a game, calling for i some one to "hit er a mile, you can ' be sure it is Jack Parrott. . ' Among the multitudinous duties that fall . on Mayor Lane is that of answering hun : dreds of queries from all parts of the ' United States and even foreign countries. ' Almost Invariably strangers who have the address of no commercial organization ; write to the Mayor for information. One Eastern woman asked the Mayor to find her a husband and almost equally puz zling requests come by every mail. Writers ask questions covering every subject from geography and history to theology and psychology. The "Little Doctor" usually turns the letters over to his secretary. Miss Louise McDonald, who seldom fails to furnish the desired data. "Every dead beat in town seems to have had money in the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank," said a local mer chant the other day. "Of course there were thousands of people who actually lost all they had in the bank failure, but their plight has been made capital of by men who never had any real money. Dozens of people whose credit is absolutely worthless, and who never had a cent ahead In their lives have come to -me and asked to open an ac count, because they got caught when the bank went to the wall." "Dutch" Schlmpff, utility pitcher and shortstop of the Beavers, is one of the best fellows on the team. The little Dutchman knows every fan in the city, and enjoys a wide acquaintance around town. He does not have to play ball for a living, and does it for the sport. i Councilman Dunning is known as the silent member among the city fathers. Only two or three times during his term of office has he taken the floor to speak, and then his remarks were brief. "Everybody listen," exclaimed one of the Councilmen at the last meeting, "Dunning is going to -make a speech." But the member from the Third Ward, who had risen, simply asked a question and then resumed his seat. i The reading of tedious minutes, compris ing page after page of routine, used to be dreaded by every member of the Executive Board. Recently, however, this has been dispensed with, as Max Fleischner goes over the minutes in advance. Each time the Auditor begins to read at the opening of a meeting, Mr. Fleischner Jumps to his feet and asks that the reading be dis pensed with.. Or, if his attention is else where, other members remind him to make the usual motion. On the other hand, the minutes of the Water Board are read in full with all their tiresome detail, taking a dreary half hour at the opening of each session. The minutes' of the Coun cil are never read at the meetings of that body. Portland people may be separated into Just two classes, booster and knockers, according to E. J. Daly, whose own classi fication on this basis is in no wise doubt ful. Desertions from the ranks of the knockers to the boosters have been fully 50 per cent during the past year, says Mr. Daly, and indications are that before very long every pessimist in tne city will be come an optimist. . The most truthful man in Portland is Dan Sullivan,- clerk of the Portland Hotel. Just ask him to tell you about that whale that starved to death this Summer be cause the sea birds had stolen all the her ring out of its mouth before the whale could swallow them. ' ' William C. Fox. ai capitalist and property-owner of Toronto, Ontario, accom . panted by Mrs. Fox, is a guest at the Lenox. Mr. Fox visited Portland during the Lewis and Clark Fair, and has ex pressed his astonishment at the rapid progress made by this city since his pre vious visit. , ' Colonel A. W. Miller, superintendent of the permanent exhibit of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, has many queries to answer. One of these naturally per tains to the rainfall In this section. The Colonel has yet to be worsted in any con troversy on this subject. When asked re garding the amount of rain, he informs his questioner that: "It rains Just enough for the soil to absorb the mois ture; then, when the soil has enough, the rain stops, thus producing our fine fruits and big forests." Visitors to the exhibit are told by the Colonel that "Oregon pro duces everything that all other states produce, but the difference is that Oregon products grow In larger quantities and are better In every particular.'- Tom Richardson, genial head of Port land's Boost Club, spent Thursday at the Salem Fair, viewing the big pumpkins and apples.' He expressed himself as stunned by the unprecedented display of fruits and vegetables. It is said that Mr. Richardson Is devoting his evenings to reading Oregon history, to find out how they got along without a commercial club. Nathaniel K. Clarke, clerk at the Hotel Portland, has been made vice-president for Oregon of the Hotel Men's Mutual Benefit Association, a National organiza tion. It Is unusual for other than hotel managers to be honored with an official relation with this organization, but the appointment of Mr. Clarke, is , due to his extensive acquaintance with the traveling public. . - Postmaster H. A. Snyder, of Aurora, the hop-producing center of the Willam ette Valley, was at the Imperial last week. He reported that, owing to the ap pearance of mold, not more than 60 per cent of the yards in the Aurora district were picked. He says the hop crop of the state will not exceed half of an average yield this year. William McMurray, general passenger agent for the Harriman lines in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, had a barber shop coupon for 50 cents placed conspicuously on his desk yesterday as a reminder of a debt. He pleaded guilty to having walked past the cashier in a Morrison street barber shop the day previous, and said he was keeping one eye on the cou pon lest he forget the obligation. Mr. McMurray says the reason he slipped past the cash register was not that he did not have the 50 cents, but that he was meditating on a difficult transportation problem. - Alexander McAdie, chief of the San Francisco station of the Weather Bureau, spent several days in Portland last week. Mr. McAdie was en route East on busi ness in connection with the department. Friends of the prognosticator are re sponsible for the statement that Professor McAdie retires every night with a seis mograph, a pad of paper and a pencil, so intent is he on the proper mention of all earthquake shocks. - Captain Dan J. McVIcker, a veteran bar pilot of Astoria, signed a petition re cently sent to Commander Werlick, re questing the establishment of certain aids to navigation in the lower Columbia River. Captain Dan got a pen cramp while writing his official title, and when the secretary of the Chamber of Com merce read off the signers at a recent meeting he called In stentorian tones: "Dr. J. McVIcker." Now Dan is pos sessed of a new title. Dr. Robert Good, of Chicago, is spend ing a short vacation on the Pacific Coast. Dr. Good is enthusiastic over the beauties of the scenery on the Columbia Rivar and in and - about Portland. He also studied the industrial phases of Ore gon, and pronounces the Northwest as the coming portion of the Union. . Fish stories are on tap -dally In the of fice of A. D. Charlton, assistant general passenger agent for the Northern Pacific Since a recent vacation at Newport, where he captured any number of salmon on a troll line, Mr. Charlton has had a busy time telling Just how it feels to land the big ones. In his case the big ones did not get away, for be backs up his stories with actual photographs. Manager Bowers, of the Portland, is said to be thinking of ousting Herr Llnd as orchestra leader, because Herr Lind keeps the guests I in the grillroom so busy applauding that they have no time to eat; hence it seriously interferes with the number and size of the orders sent to the kitchen. ' . RECOVERS STOLEN BABY Mrs. Drake, of Portland, Reclaims - Child Husband Gave Away. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21. Mrs. Emery Roy Drake, who came here from Portland to regain possession of her 8 months old baby, which had been given away by its father on the ground that it interfered with his musical studies, has succeeded, and is now only awaiting an order of the court which will permit her to take the little one back to Colorado. She first tried habeas corpus proceedings, but after it had been shown In court that th husband had deceived her even to the extent of telling her the baby was dead, the foster mother, to whom Drake gave the child, surrendered the baby and re linquished all claim to it. Drake Is teach ing music in Sacramento and has been ordered to appear in court next Monday and explain why he treated his wife and baby in such an unnatural manner. Miss Parry Hits Woman With. Auto. TNDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 21. In an effort to get her brother to a train bound for Yale College, Miss . Lydia Parry, daughter of David M. Parry, former president of the National Manufacturers' Association, ran down with an automo bile and seriously hurt Miss Elizabeth Hand, a professional nurse. Bicycle offi cers trailed the flying automobile and ar rested the girl at the station. Later, she was released on bond furnished by her father. Booth Arrives in Canada. HALIFAX, Sept. 21. Gefneral Booth, commander of the Salvation Army, ar rived yesterday on the Allan Line steam er Virginia, from Liverpool, and left at one in a private car on a tour. Bad Boys Blacked His Right Eye. Red Tie Worn by Ara Johnson, n Moat Popular Youth of 16, Dls . pleased Thrm ow It's Up to the Police. 1 ASA JOHNSON, a very proper little boy of 16 years, was severely chastised yesterday by several rude boys, and all because they did not fancy the color of his tie. They black ened Asa's right eye terribly, but Asa got even by having the rude things ar rested; or rather, he secured warrants for their arrest arid they will be taken in as soon as located by the police. It appears that Asa, who is a resi dent of South Portland, refuses stead fastly to have anything to do with the horrid boys of his neighborhood. They play rough games, and several of them actually do not go to Sunday school. It was only to be expected that a boy of Asa's refined tastes would shun vulgarians of that order. Yesterday Asa was passing along the street in peaceful contemplation of beauteous nature when four or five of these horrid boys confronted him. They blocked his path completely and made uncomplimentary remarks anent his new red tie. He made no response for a time until it occurred to him that he must be moving on his way, whereupon he reached out most po litely and firmly and endeavored to make a passageway. It was at this moment that Asa re ceived the decoration that has since adorned his optic. The blow was de livered with much skill and no little force, and the bruise will continue to adorn Asa's classic face for some time to come. The perpetrators of this un kind act will doubtless be dealt with harshly when the police get them.. TROUBLE WITH THE FLAG Postmaster Has Difficulty Getting a Man to Climb the Pole. Uncle Sam has been having a heap of trouble with the flag over the Post office of late. Not long ago It was discovered upside down, and not long after it was at full mast when it should have been at half mast, and two days ago the halyard broke and Old Glory tumbled to the roof. John W. MInto, Uncle Sam's repre sentative, set about for a man to shin the slender timber and put the rope through the pulley 50 feet from the dome and 100 feet from terra flrma. Louis E. Obye, the Postoffice elec trician, offered to take his life in his hands for $10, but the Postmaster thought that too high. And so the flagstaff was bare for another day. Yesterday morning Mlnto was till hunting for a man to climb the pole. Henry J. Emmet came along and of fered to cut Obye's figures In two, and his bid was accepted. He did the job in 20, minutes, took the Postmaster's check for $5, and went on his way rejoicing. The flagstaff is quite slen der near the top and when Emmet, who tips the beam at 190, was at the pinnacle, the pole swayed menacingly, while a nervous crowd gaped open mouthed at the spectacle.
