Are Uherally Patron

People's Institute.
Almost everyone. at one time or an
other In his carer, has lived or exist
ed In some small hamlet where the
Ma-hest form of Joy. unalloyed and in
nocent, was brought annually with the
lvent of tl.e County Fair. All the
dames and maidens for miles Around
vied with each other in the final con
test and awarding: of ribbons for their
Jellies, breads and quilts; all the men
who had' stork entered horses, cattle
and hoes and forgot all other affairs
mundane In the admiring rontempla
tlon of Ptrrhemns and Poland-Chinas.
It always lasted for three days, and
Into those were crowded enough icossip,
knowledge, and fun to last until the
next fair. The beit part, however, of
the fair was the booths, the refresh
ment stands, the merry-sro-round and
amusement features which were al
ways liberally patronized by all who
had the lurk to Ret In at the pate.
The County Fair, held last nijrht at
the Armory, on Tenth and Couch
streets, for the benefit of the People's
Institute, was a complete success,
financially and socially. For several
weeks, lonar lists of the unparalleled
attractions have been Riven publicity In
the columns of the preps, and the af
fair was easily the stellar event of the
social season. The bin floor space of
the Armory had been converted Into
miniature Trail, with booths and
amusement tents studded In a thick
ring; around the walls. These various
places housed attractions mt derided
merit, and bore huire lettered placards
annoancina- the nature of the offerina-,
very much in the manner of side show
attractions. Spielers. In Kube costume,
chanted sonorously through huge meg
aphones, and baker boys, lassies with
candies. lemonade, ice-cream cones and
popcorn and peanut renders wandered
In and out of the big- crowd.
The, information booth contained
samples of work done by the children's
classes at the Institute, including- sewing
of all sorts, and artistic rugs woven by
the. mothers' clawi. Aunt Plnah's kitchen
as in charge of Mrs. William Mackenzie,
Mrs. A. H. Tanner. Mrs. KHen R. Miller.
Mr. Allen retry. Miss VVelriler. Helpers,
Misses Nan Robertson, Claire Houghton,
Genevieve Thompson. Grace Warrens,
Kmestlne Falling. Mildred Nichols. Mary
Robertson and Hazel Crocker. During
the evening Aunt rinah sang Halle
luiah, songs. The flapjacks and waffles
were cooked by the institute classes. ,
, See-saws Not Forgotten.
In the center of the room a large saw
dust ring accommodiited the see-sawers.
This was in charge of Mrs. Walter Cook,
assisted by an able sptelr. Sam Lock-
wood. and two clowns. Walter Moore and
George Kevins. Ralph AV. Hoyt, as
policeman, was much In evidence.
The big hurdy-gurdy was kept busy
grinding out music by Dick Jones, while
Miss Vlda Reed and Miss Ieslie Smith, In
handsome gypsy costumes, danced and
passed the tambourine.
The lemonade booth was particularly
fetching, with Its color acheme of yellow
and white. This was presided over by
IMrs. H. 8. Butterfield. assisted by Mrs.
Ben Levy and Mrs. H. M. Carlock. Also
assisting were several girls, dressed in
dainty flowered frocks, and picturesque
konnets. Misses Grace Dalrymple, Jean
Brojvnlie, Virginia Merges, Janet Noble,
Ruth Murphy. At this booth two excel
lent spellers reigned. Ned Donald and Ed
ward Wilson.
The formne telling booth was one. of the
tnMt liberally patronised tents In the
tiall. Five seers were kept busy ail aft
ernoon and evening. In the entrance
Audre Foullhoux and Mrs. Everett Ames
1n costumes, with handorgan and mon
keys were faithful gypsy types. Inside
the tent Miss Ksther Goodman as Lena
di Luna. Mrs. Lou Tarpley as Madame
1a Clare, and Mrs. Ben Ely as Madame
Yaahti were the prophetesses. Mrs. Tarp
ley and Mrs. Ely were In gypsy garb and
Miss Goodman in white veils and near
jewels was a ' most mysterious lady
whose Identity only leaked out at a late
hour.
The Headless Wonders Triphosa and
fiophrona. were mysterious enough to call
In lots of shekels from the curious. T.
T. Strain was the proprietor of 'these
fodies less beads and the speilcrs were
Charles Townsend. J. M. Atlee. J. W.
Townsend. Jr., and Wallace Baker. The
wonders were portrayed cleverly by Miss
Adele Dyott and Miss Barbara F.aab.
Mrs. T. T. Strain and Mrs. F. S. Belcher
were chaperones.

One of the most attractive features of
the fair and one which netted more
money for the fund than any other was a
series of tableaux vjvant given under
the direction of Mrs. James McL Wood.
Jti each of the pictures the posing and
'--turning was superb and the young

STOLEN GIRL FOUND
Kidnaping of Chinese Girl Is
Frustrated.
CHAPTER IN TONG TROUBLE
Ow Young Nil 111, Alias .Sing, Kuns
Off With Loung .Su, hut Is Caught
by Girl's Husband and Aid of
Law Is Invoked. 1
ASTORIA. Or., Feb. SO. (Special.)
A Chinaman giving his name as Sing
and a Chinese woman giving her name
as Leung Su were arrested by the po
Ilco this morning as they were about to
leave across the river In a launch to
catch the train for South Bend, Wash.
The woman was dressed In men's cloth
ing when arrested.
The couple arrived here last night
from. Portland, and were arrested at
the request of the police authorities of
that city, on the charge that the man
stole the woman from her husband.
The assertion Is also made that "Sing"
Is a highbinder and Is wanted In San
Francisco to answer several charges.
The pair will be held pending the ar
rival of an officer from Portland.
On information presented to him late
yesterday afternoon District Attorney
Cameron filed an Information of felony
against Sing, who Is said to bs Ow Young
Nam. a nephew of the vice-consul In San
Francisco, charging him with kidnaping
and a warrant was issued shortly before
6 o'clock last night from the Municipal
Court for his arrest.
Detective Price. accompanied by Chin
Due, Die kidnaped woman's husband, and
Chin Sin, the husband's cousin, left last
night on the 6 o'clock train for the pur
pose of bringing back the Chinaman and
the stolen woman.- Chin Due is one
of the members of the firm of On
Hing, conducting a mercantile business,
at sti Second street. Chin Sin Is a mer
chant at 87 Second street. Both men
stand high among the members of their
colony In this city.
The kidnaping occurred a few days ago
and is another chapter In a story in
which figure the rupture of the Bow On
Tong In this city about a year ago which
caused the murders of Lee Dal Hoy. who
was one of Chinatown's wealthiest mer
chants, and Lent Yip, one of the principal
witnesses against Lem Woon and Yee
Geung, now lodged in the County Jail
charged with the murder of Lee Dal Hoy.
Chin Due, while not a witness against
the accused murderers, is nearly related
to those Chinese interested in the prose
cution of the murderers and in sympa
thy with them is said to have contributed
moral and financial support to the friends
of Lee. Dal Hoy. In spite for this atti
tude of Chin Due the kidnaping is said
to have been planned. The woman was
stolen from her rooms and taken to a
gasoline launch. In which she was con
veyed to Astoria. Friends of the Lee
Dal Hoy faction in Astoria saw the
woman there and wiued the information
to this city. The authorities were lm
medidately appealed to.
The Chinaman arrested is said to be a
highbinder imported by the San Fran
cisco faction of the Bow On Tong. This
fnction. local Chinese say, has sworn to
exterminate a portion of the dissenting
fnction In this city. Several times dur
ing the past year excitement has pre
vailed in the Chinese colony over the
reputed presence of from six to 15 San
Francisco highbinders in Portland at one
time. For a long time these men were
quartered on the East Side, but since
the establishment of New Chinatown it
Is said that they have been living at
53 North Fourth street, on the third
floor, rooms S. 9 and 10. This is
where Sing lived.
TWO ORDINANCES VETOED
Mayor Continues to Hold Vp Bailiff
McDonald's Pay.
Continuing his policy of holding up
the pay of James Macdonaid, who
worked II months In the Municipal
Court during the term of Judge Cam
eron, Mayor Lane yesterday morning
vetoed an ordinance that was passed
by the City Council last Wednesday,
authorizing the appropriation of $1040
for paying Mr. Macdonaid. The latter,
while in office, did the work of three
men. He acted as bailiff during court
hours; assistant clerk and janitor, and
put in more than eight hours daily. He
was placed In the position by vote of
the Council, but the Mayor wished to
appoint another to the place and at
once attacked the proceedings, con
tending that the civil service rules re
quired that the appointment be made
from Its certified lists.
Mayor Lane also vetoed Councilman
Concannon's ordinance, granting to the
Carman Manufacturing Company an al
leged right to construct a raised sidewalk
In front of Its premises on Eighteenth
street. The Mayor, basing his objection
on an opinion of the City Attorney that
the Council has no authority to make
such a concession, calls the Council's at
tention to the fact. It Is the only ordi
nance ever introduced by Mr. Concannon.
although he has been nearly two years a
member of the Conncll.

Owing" to the unprecedented demand for seats for "A Night In Bohemia," the mirth-provoking-, melodious
operetta to be presented by the Portland Elks at the Heilig Theater Monday an Tuesday nights, the com
mittee In charge has decided to present the big fun show at a special Washington's Birthday matinee tomor

Her rendition of Thomas P. Getz' latest pathetic ballad, "She Loved Him, but He Moved Away," is one of
the most pleasing numbers in the big fun show.

THEY'RE TWO-FACED
Important, if You Own a Talking Ma
chine Two Records for Prac
tically the Price of One.
The Double - Sided Talking Machine
Discs have proven immensely success
ful. These records are of such uni
formly high quality, and the selections
being furnished at practically one-half
the cost heretofore, it is no wonder
these double-sided discs have jumped
into immediate favor.
We have now on hand every double
disc record manufactured In this coun
try and abroad.. The regular 10-inch
discs cost 5 cents, others 75 cents, and
the large 12-lnch ones are $1. A 12
tnch selection Is now actually fifty
cents instead of $1 as heretofore.
We have double-sided Grand Opera
disc records, too. Records that repre
sent an amazingly large, saving.
Records that have heretofore cost at
the rate of two for J8 or $10 are now
obtainable two for $2.50, and a very
few selections cost two for $3.60.
Remember, every double - faced disc
record is now for sale at Eilers Piano
House Individual Talking - Machine
Record Parlors, 353 Washington street.
Among women as well as men there
is nothing that quite completes the
dressy appearance like a well-selected
piece of jewelry.
A woman will plan her evening
obes to effectively show her jewels
the modestly-worn jewelry of the
daytime always adds charm to the
appearance on the street.
A man will invariably cast a long
ing eye at his neighbor who wears
just enough jewelry to give the prop
er finish to his appearance.
The first consideration is the prop
er selection of jewelry a stock show
ing the latest things should furnish
you the display from which to select
what you want.
I have the most complete stock of
all novelties in jewelry, both m solid
and filled, in the city, and have them
priced low enough to appeal to those
who can appreciate values when they
see them.

The railroad company did sell some of
the lands, in fact many thousands of
acres, to large timber barons, and In
most instances at a much higher price
than $2.50 an acre. For a number of
years past, however, the officials of the
railroad company have taken the lands
off the market altogether and have re
fused to sell at any price. The argu
ments which Attorneys Pecker and
Townsend are to make will be in the
original suit filed seeking to cancel
title to the land grant lands not sold.
The other suits, some 35 Or more, which
Mr. Townsend filed several weeks apo.
are to regain posseslson of the lands
which the railroad company has sold.
