There was a gay scene enacted at
Havel's dock last evening as the steam
er Lurllne drew out Among the pass
engers were Director Martin E." Robin
son and his able assistant, Mr. Hoyt.
The members of the local cast of the
sacred opera were on hand to bid the
gentlemen good by and good luck. A
number of the airs of "Queen Esther
were sung by the crowd on the dock,
which were directed by Mr. Robinson
from the deck of the steamer, his baton
Dispatches last , night relate that
news reacnea warn waua yesieraay
of the first stock shooting of 1904,
which recently took place In "Sand
Hollow" the sage brush district In
northern Morrow county, some ais
tance south of Umatilla. There SO
head of cattle were found lying on the
range, all pierced by rifle balls. Set
tiers of northern Morrow county, angry
because the animals had broken down
their fences, and trampled over their
fall sown wheat, are supposed to have
dona the shooting. No arrest have
been made; The episode has been con
cealed some little time to give an op
portunity to hunt' out the perpetrators
The cattle belonged to Ben Swaggart
a prominent eastern Oregon stockman,
who was running aulte a bunch of
stock In the sand district south of the
olumbla, In Morrow' county.
That Mexico Is a hand of,undeveloped
wealth and opportunity. Han J. H
Smith, who has Just returned irom me
southern reDublic is positive. He said
last evening that while -he did not in
tend to move there Immediately, the
country la none the less a beautiful
one and well worth settling In. The
oblect of the trip of the Smith party
mith has already been written up in
The Astorian, and Mr. Smith, like Mr,
Sweeney, who was the first to return.
Is in no way disappointed with the re
sults attained, although' It was not
deemed advisable at this time to make
any investments. Mr. Smith toon op
portunity of his visit to Mexico to ac
quaint himself with th history of the
country, and has at hand valuable data
relating to the -exploratlens ' and con
quests of the early Spaniards. He
traveled a large part of the, time while
away on mules, ana aunng u
time scent In Mexico did not pass
through a single rain shower, the sea
nn having been' unusually dry; even
for Mexico. . ,
Dr. B. H'Earle, quarantine officer
for this port, has ; ascertained ; that
glass jars are the best places for gold
fish. - Recently a large number of gold
flsh were brought over on the oriental
liner Indrasamha and Dr. Earle was
presented with several dosens of the
pretty little fish. In an experimental
way he caused about three dosens to
be placed In a lake just back of the
Columbia river , quarantine siu.
Yesterday Dr. Earle received' word
from the station that his gold flsh had
begun coming to the surface, with their
bellies ripped open. The lake contains
a number of native trout, which fiercely
attacked the little strangers and Wiled
them. The trout were not of sufficient
.Ize to devour the gold fish, but tney
apparently had no difficulty In wound
ing them to death. When placed In
the lake the gold fish spent most of
their time Jumping out of the- water,
and Dr. Earle was at a loss to account
fr their action. However, they were
doubtless Immediately .attacked by the
trout and sought to escape by leaping.
There was little hope for. the gold fish,
for watchful kingfishers were perched
conveniently near to swoop down upon
them as they Jumped out of the water.
