EDWARD A. BEALS, Forecast Official THE POOR FARE Old Timers There That We Had Missed from the Walks ot Life Tha Board of County Commissioners visited the County Poor Farm yesterday afternoon, and found everything there in apple-pie order, .yhere are noW 130 pa tients at the farm, averaging" in age from six months to four score years. Many of the inmates work around the place more than enough to pay for their keeping, while others, Of course, are unfortunate county charges. Many old timers that we knew around town even four to ten years ago, are now comfortably enscanced at the farm: for example,' Judge Ralph De ment, who, a few years ago, tossed dol lars around the" barrooms as if they were peanuts. The Judge is In the bakery de partment' and apparently happy as when he was the law partner Of Oregon's sen ior Senator, flushwlth the bloom of youth upon his cheek. At the farm Superintendent Hanson raises all the produce, nearly, consumed on the premises, aa well as most of the meats. A 200-pound swine a day is about the average consumption of pork, so that a great many hogs are necessary to sup ply the demand, Haying on the farm paw .occupies the attention of the superintendent and as sistants. ".:-!; ' Injured by Hying Timber.. While operating a planer in the Frank Bchmttt mill, oh tha 'EaMt Side, yesterday. John Mooney met "with "an accident and narrowly escaped death. He was struck on the left shoulder with the end of a small Stick which he was running through the, machine, and it was hurled with suf ficient fores as t shatter bis eollar bone and Injur -bis beck. , Had. the timber struck him a little .higher up It is said that his neck would have been broken. A physician was summoned, nd the injured man attends to at one. It, will be some Itlaa baf or t weoverai '; A RICH DISTRICT A targe :Ea3rty : bf"EBnH St Hdeiis r The following party of mining men re turned yesterday from the St. Helens dis trict: A. R. Zellah, R. Pailtxsch, Capt J. F, Boone, O. W. Simpson, jA. Melser of Vancouver, E. C. Powell of LaCenter, E. Engleson, D. Franklin and W. A Gray. Many the party were' investors, and on a Visit to the district for the first time. 1 They went for the purpose of in creasing their holdings in the district it satisfied with the properties after mak ing" a personal inspection of them. A a result of the visit several of the gentle men have acquired additional stock, in the claims, and ethers have signified their intention of doing so at an early date. They spent ten- days at the mine and among the properties visited' were the Polar Star, .Minnie Lee,"Great Mountain, Independence and Qermunta group. They also made a hurried and general Inspec tion of the entire district. Claims Where but very little work had been done pr tented fine surface showings; and' the men returned well pleased with their trip and el ted over the promising. pros pecta of the properties.' Work Is being vigorously pushed on some of the most important claims and high grade ore is being blocked out. At the Polar Star a force of men Is at work cross-cutting the ledge which is now in 32 feet, but has not yet reached the outer side. A cross-cut is also being run on the Sampson, which befongs to Dr. Co of this city. Going to the mines the members of the party went in horseback from Wlnlock, a distance of So miles. This proved moat trying experience, to some of them, and they have not yet fully recovered from the effects of it. They say they traveled fpr 40 miles through some of the finest timber ever produced in the North west. One re mfasiired 46 feet in clr cumference, ami It Is estimated that one quarter section thore will yield from 6, 000,000 to 8.00U,000 feet of lumber. It Is also figured that three of the largest trees. If workod up futo lumber, would be sufficient -to load an ordinary barge. The trees are described as being straight a an arrow, and the lower limbs are from 50 to llfo feet from the ground. One of the party said: 'Talk about water!" If you would put ice in the Bull Run water It would not be any colder than that we found in the mountains." REPLACED BY STEEL Wooden Piles in Trestles Must Go on the 0. R. & N. Cos lines. The policy of substantial Improvements on the O. R. & N. Company's system, in titigurutaed at the time of the accession of A. L. Mohler to the president's chair, still continues. In fact, the extension of Mr. Harriman's control vas merely a continuance of the same policy. The latest Improvement is the replacing of wooilen trestles with stet-1 pillars sot In concrete on the Eastern Oregon ex tension of the line. Sidney Smyth qt the contracting firm of Smyth '& Howard, Is now In the Baker City district, where ha will Inaugurate these changes. The company will surface the line with new coating of gravel from Hunting' ton for a distance of 100 miles west from Huntinerton. This Will require several months to perfect. EAST SIDE BRIEF S Rev.

The glrU of the Troy Laundry who went bathing yesterday at tha public' baths wera so well pleased that about 40 of them went in again In tha evening. .The baths are proving a grand success and Edwars Holman l going1 to make it mors ss by tutting Hcfrors iwrapbarnalia ' ' Y' , ARMTS.UNIFORMS Change to Be Made in the Soldiers' . , Appearance , . - Muoh to ths relief of Army officers, who have been wondering for weeks past Just what the long portended changes la uni form amounted to, the general order re lating to the matter has been received front Washington The general result of the change s has already been an nounced by wire, the most Important be ing the adoption ot a servloe uniform of an olive drab color, .but the complete or ders show Chat there are to ba change in detail, which will completely revolt tiotiii the appearance of the United State Army. 'v '"' One of . the .most interesting change to be made la In tha colors of facings of the different branches of the service. The familiar white, which has hitherto indi cated the infantryman, is to disappear and is to- be replaced with light blue. The cavalry will retain their yellow, and the artillery their scarlet, but tha Quar termasters Department will hereafter wear buff -colored facings, while those of the Medical Corp will wear maroon. This latter change, It may be noticed, brings the United States medical service in line With the same branches of the German and British Armies, maroon being used as the facings of both. Officers of the Oral. nance Department are to have facings of black, pitied ' with scarlet The signal ocrps will change to orange, piped with white; tha Engineers will become gray with scarlet facings, piped with white, and all general officers and officer of the staff corps will be modest In dark blue facings. '. Another change Which will immediately attract attention will be the disappear ance of the familiar Initials "U. S." from the collar of officers' coats. In place of this the collars Will be decorated with the. coat of arms of the United States made of gold, gilt metal or dull bronze, according to the description of uniform worti, and this wlfi' be followed by the letter "V.," to designate volunteer offi cer. Rank badge are practically un changed, but some ot the corps insignia have been altered. That of the medical corps Is changed from the Geneva cross to the "Caduceus," the winged wand of Mercury entwined by two serpents. Officers caps are to be materially changed. They will be larger at the top than at the bottom, and will hence re semble the caps now worn by the British and German officer. For full dress tiity are to be heavily ornamented with gold lace. The visor Is to be embroidered wiih gold oak leaves. The orders go ori at great length to de scribe the new service "uniform, which t officially described as to Be of "olive drab woolen or cotton material," and it is to be noted that all officers are to wear russett leather leggings of the "strap puttee" pattern. An absolute innovation is made in the adoption ot a special uniform for even ing wear. This Is to bcut on the pat tern of civilian evening dress. The coat is to have regulation gilt buttons, and the waistcoat is t6' be blue or white. These Jackets, of a pattern similar to the British, are also authorized, and they may be worn, with white trousers in the tropic. The order take effect from now ' on until January 1, 1903, by which date all officers and men muf have the new uni forms.

' ' " ; ' ENRAGED FARMERS One - Took the Other's Team by Mistake and Trouble Ensued An amusing Incident happened yester day evening about dusk on the corner of First and Columbia streets, In which two farmer and a police officer were the principal actors. It wa a sort of a mix ture at comedy and tragedy. Marion Hutchinson, a farmer from near Mount Tabor, was In the city most of the afternoon and had looked upon wine when it was red, about once too often. His team was hitched near a popular First street resort, and a young map ac quaintance persuaded him to get in his wagon and go home. He promised to do ao. and started in the direction ot hl wagon. As it Happened another team was hltobed Close to his, and Hutchinson got into tha wrong wagon and started oil whistling a merry tune. He had not pro ceeded far until the owner of the outfit a rancher by the name ot Cooper, gar pursuit Overtaking "him, Hutchinson and Cooper engaged in a fistic encounter, resulting in the farmer being thrown from the wagon and the latter gaining rightful possession of his property. Cooper then threatened to have hi beaten adversary arrested for larceny.. A stalwart cop appeared on the scene and was about to carry out the wish of the Irate Cooper when a young men stepped up nd entered 'a vigorous protest He was tha sarne fellow who had induced 'Hutchinson to start tor home and sober up In the cooling shades of Mount Tabor. He took all the responsibility of his friend' error or tupldity upon himself, saying that he alone was to blame for the dilemma In which he had been placed. The officer began then to vent his rage on the young man and threatened to place him under arrest He thought bet. ter of it however, when matters were fully explained and the trio departed for their respective homes, each with their own outfits. A large crowd had gathered and felt provoked fvhen tha entertain ment had come to such an abrupt ending.
