Comment I unnecessary on the fol
lowing, tuken from yesterday's Oregon
Ian: "The field work of surveying the
river between Portland and the sea
has been completed, ami Captain Lang
flit, United Stales engineers, who has
superintended It. discharged all the
men employed except a few In his of
fice making maps of the survey. With
in a week Cr-plaln Langtltl will jend
his report of he survey, uccompanled
by maps, to Waahlngton. He says the
rivers are In a very satisfactory con
dition, but it will be quite an under
taking to secure a 25-foot channel from
Portland to the sea."
Ruble barter, an Indlgwnt (Istur
man, who has been residing at Clifton

having ben ncit there yesterday by
order of Sheriff Llnvllle. The eld man
recently appeared before the county
court, asking for assistance. Judge
Gray Issued an ordr for grore-ilca and
other supplies and provision was Made
for the cure of the old man. U now
appears, however, that Carter needs
mental rather than physical treatment,
It Is believed that after he has been at
the hospital for a few days he .Mil be
able to be about again and In good
condition!
Joe Grlbler, who went to Portland to
hear the great pianist. Poderwelskl, re
turned home yesterday enthusiastic In
his praise of the great artist. A pian
ist himself. Grlbler appreciated the
splendid technique and execution of
the "master" and pronounces him more
than human In his handling of the
Instrument of his choice. Grlbler re
lates an amusing Incident that occured
during the performance. It was Just
after Poderwelskl had played, In his
niurveloua style,' the Hungarian rhap
osdye and there was that hush upon the
audience that preceeds a burst of ap
plause, that a long whiskered gentle
mun arose In one of the $5 seats and,'
addressing himself to Pader.velskl,
said: "Say, mister, can't you give us
a little 'rag time' sorter betwixt them
tunes of your'n?" It Is needless to aay
the question was unanswered but Pad
erwelskl wns spared the labor of re-,
spondlng to an encore and enjoyed the
laugh as much as did the audience.
Those who have subscribed for seats
for the Boston Lyrlo Company's pro
duction at Fisher's opera house, can
reserve their seats today at Griffin &
Heed's. The full company will be here
during the engagement which opens on
Tuesday next. Slgnor Domenlco Russo
sing the title roll In "Cauallerla Rustl
cana" and Miss Josephine Stanton, the
title roll In "Said Pasha," The Oreg.in
lun speaks of the performances as fol
lows: In "Cavallerla RuBtlcatia" Slg
nor Russo, Nellie Andrews, Maude
Lcekley, Bertha Nllsson " and Frank
Mnslln were In the cast. Miss Andrews
was an acceptable Santuzxa, and ren
dered that trying soprano role In a
satisfactory manner. Frank Maslln Is
a new baritone, and as Alflo, appeared
to advantage. The performance last
evening was far superior to the rendi
tion of the same opera on the former
occasion, the Improvement being re
markable. Josephine Stanton fairly
captivated th . audience In "Said
rrsha," and wanjirwi Instant jecofrl
nil Ion, Maud Lekley, a Altl, rang
her part In a manner that left nothing
to be desired with her contralto. The
comedian were la their element, nev
er overlooked a chance to provoke a
launh-ln fact, Ihey were the greater
part of th performance, with their
comicalities. Ueorgy Kunkle, a II
dad, and John Henderson, lis Nock-y,
practically owned the !;, particu
larly during the second act, and receiv
ed many encorj. The costuming Is
Kwd and the orchestra, reinforced, ex
ecuted the music In a pleasing manner.
SAJLOK8 GO TO THK MINES.
Ships Held at Portland Because the
Masters Are Unable to Secure
Crew.
According to the river pilots down
from Portland there are a jiumber of
ships In the stream at that port, ready
to sail for home ports as soon u they
can secure crews.
"The scarcity of sailor In Portland
la something unheard of," said the
Portland pilot who brought a ship
down from the city yesterday. "The
scarcity of men Is due to the demand
for miners at Humpter and In other
mining sections In Eastern Oregon,
Washington and Idaho.
"Mine owners are offering as high
aa $J.M jier day for able bodied men
and they have drawn hundreds of sail
ors away Into the mining districts. Al
most any sailor can use a pick and
shovi-l and the wages oflered In the
mines, together with steady work on
shore, appeals to the sailor far more
than di-s a long and rough voyage
lasting for months to some foreign
port.
"As an Instance of how ships are de
nuded of their crews I may mention a
ship now lying In the stream at Port
land that had a full crew, Kicking two
men,, on Monday night last and th
cnptaln hud made every arrangement
to go down the river n Tuesday morn
ing. "Tui-rday morning came, but Instead
of having a full crew, lacking two men,
the captain had i nly two men on ship
board, the rest having deserted during
the night.
"There Is nothing In the talk about
sailors going out on farms. There isn't
enough In It for them. They would
rather salt a ship than plough any day,
and. In fact, but few of them know
anything about farming, but when It
comes to mining It is different. In ad
dition to the wage offered In the mines
there Is always the bait held out that
the sailor can go prospecting for him
self and U aa liable to find a million
dollar mine a anybody else.
"When winter comes, the sailor drift
back Into the seaports and usually fall
to find ships, leaving them paupers on
the community until shipping (.pens In
the spring, but the sailor Is notirious
ly an Improvident creature nnd only
care for the present,-letting the fu
ture take rare of itself.
'.The boarding-house men are at
their wit's end, as the saying goes,
trying to upply crews. The sailors
are not to be found in town and hence
cannot be hired or shanRhuied. I
doubt very much whether the ships
now ready to sail will be able to get
crews this week. If they do they will
pay an Increase over regulation wages.
RACED I P THE RIVER.
The Mller and Nahcotta Try Conclu
sions of Sp-.-ed The Latter Boat
Wins the First Heat.
When that trim craft, the R. Mller.
left for llwaco Wednesday. It looked
aa sic and span aa fresh paint and a
generous application of the scrubbing
brush, with soap and water, could
make It look.
Yesterday the Mller looked as If It
had caught the ragged edge of a ty
phoon. Its beautiful yellow smoke
stack was of a nondescript color, with
blisters of paint clinging to It here and
there, while spashes and splotches of
soot were smeared on the snowy decks
and on the erstwhile pure sides of the
superstructure. In fact the Mller look
ed as If it had seen "active service,"
And It had.
The change was brought about by a
difference of opinion between Captain
Babidge of the Miler and Cnptaln Tom
Parker of the Nahcotta, aa to the rela
tive speed of their respective boats.
Now, racing on the river Is frowned
down by the captains of every sort of
craft and Indulged In whenever an op
portunity offers. H so happened that
the Mller and the Nahcotta both left
llwaco at about the same hour on
Wednesday, the latter boat being a
trifle behind. At McGowan's the boats
were together and then there was
started one of the prettiest races seen
on the river In many a day.
All hands and the cook, on both
boats, were at work In the fire room
and the engines were made to develop
every pound bf speed In them. Soon
the heat began to cook the new paint
on the Mller'a smokestack and great
chunks of soot were fired out of the
stack to-cling to the deck or sides or
wherever they could find a lodgement
so aa to spoil paint, but the boats
raced on, regardless of appearances.
According to the self constituted
Judges on the dock here the Nahcotta
won the race by several hundred yards
and consequently has "a horse" to Its
credit In the game which the two
boats will surely 'play out during the
season. It was imposaiDie 10 gei me
best time, for a given distance, made
by etther of the boats but It Is safe to
say they kept the salmon running to
keep up wltl) them coming Into port.
The Mller'a stack will get a new coat
of yellow today and thla time It will
be of fire proof paint ao no matter
whether the flames stick out of the top
of the chimney 'or not, the stack, will
look all right when the race I over.
