A very interesting collection ot photo graphs is being; formed by Juseph Buch tel. The collection includes the pictures of all the boys who formed the Pioneer Baseball Club in Portland Mi years ago. The Pioneers' were famous in their day and for many a year were the pennant holders. The original members of the organisation are all living Rlltl one ex ceptlon. Most of the mi-mbt is are now prominent business men In this city, and the collection of all their photos with their uniforms donned will he u interest ing souvenir of former days. When the Pioneers hel.i full sway in this city Portland had population ot about 10,000. The club grounds were lo cated on Park street and were surrounded with tall timber. WADHAM8 - THE FOi'NDEK. William Wadhams, foun ler of the firm of Wadhams & Co.. was the original pitcher of the club, a position he held for some time. He was afterwards made permanent second baseman E. Quackenbush, a prominent real es tate man of thsi city, was the Pioneers' famous catcher. While in that position Mr. Quackenbush made n number of rec ords for excellent playing. James Steel, formerly president of the Portland City ft Oregon Hallway, was a center fielder In the days of long ago. i.ieocore Miner, at present a traveling man for a large New York wholesale house, sometimes served as a catcher. Joseph Buchtel was. the Pioneer's noted pitcher. He wasono of the lirst men In the business to slide in order to reach the. bases. Mr. Buchtel had a rceord ot keeping the runner on the base, la those days with Mr. Buchtel Inthe box It was impossible for a man to "steal" from one base to another. '1' Vln Cook-played at third base, while George Steel played left field. Both Frank Warren and P. W. Dehuff were fielders. - '' Ward Wltherall, the only deceased mem ber of the club, held the position of first baseman. TRAINS TED UP. SEATTLE, Oct 1 A dispatch from Skagway states that a rock slide on the White Pass has caused a complete block ade of railroad trains. The slide occurred at the east end of the tunnel and about 100 cubic yards must be removed. The rock is all the way from five to fifty feet deep;- The tunnel is the only one on the road and near the sum mit. The slide partly covers the trestle and is at a most dangerous place, where ouis Jamcs and Frederick Wakde At the Marquam. great precaution must be exercised in moving debris to prevent accidents. Freight is still piling up at White Horse. Over a thousand tons remained there up to Sunday night The river Is about holding its own, although it is down to fifty-eight Inches. BIGAMY CHARGED. Under Sheriff Stott arrested Peter Morak, at his room, 33S First street last night, on a charge of bigamy. On the first ot the month Morak com menced suit against his. wife In this city. Yesterday a telegram was received from the Walla Walla authorities, asking for Morak's arrest on the bigamy charge on complaint of Delia Morak, wife No. 2, so she claims. The prisoner denies that he Is - guilty. FEW COMPLAINTS. During the whole forenoon's session of the Board of Equalization, there were two or three complaints made about as sessments, which is quite a compliment to Assessor McDonell. WILL FIGHT REVISION. Two of the Senators who took part in the famous Oyster Bay conference have spoken. Hanna stands pat on "let well enough alone," thus corroborating the report that he said in the conference that' as long as he was In the Senate, he would oppose any reduction of the tar iff. Senator Lodge deprecates any "tam pering" with the tariir, and thus con firms the report that ha Opposed changes. We await Senator Spooner's first speech with Interest and curiosity, for he was reported to be "an ardent and aggressive revisionist." We may expect 8enator Al ll.oon, considering the situation In Iowa, to maintain the reputation of ' non-com-mittaltsm'he established long ago, illus trated by the comparison mads by a fel low Senator that "Allison could tread the keyboard of a piano from NeW York to San Franclfeco and make never a sound." St. Paul Dispatch. - - ' JiVaMHi t The Journal, a' Free and Fair paper. It-has no axe to srrtnd- ensuing term, a fetlni ftervta c ACROSS , THE RIVER BOARD TO MEET Important Measures to Come Be fore Albina Board of Trade. President It. K Thompson, of the Cen tral Albina Board of Trade, will call a meeting of that organization for Friday evening, October 17. A number of important measures will come before the meeting. The petition for the improving of Falling street has been presented to the City Council, but so far nothing hag been done in the mat ter. The petition for the widening of Van couver avenue will also be looked after. The City A Suburban Railway Company has notified President Thompson that hereafter the Lower Albina line will be given better cars and service. The building committee will again take up the proposition of providing a hall for that section of the city. The hall which was projected some time ago was found to be too expensive and the plans will be changed a trifle. It is expected that work on the hall will be begun early next spring. There Is a great demand for of fices In the vicinity and the stockholders of the company expect to make a good sum on the Investment. It Is likely that the board will take up the proposition of a steel hull ferry for the Albina run. It is said that the heavy travel over the present boat make a steel hull a necessity. WILL REBUILD HALL Lodge: at Mt. Tabor to Form Stock Company. A proposition Is on foot to rebuild Oriental Hall, which was recently de stroyed by fire. Since the destruction of the hall th? fraternal orders of Mt. Tabor have bee?i without a proper meeting place. Prom inent members are now coming forward with the suggestion that the hall be re buiOby the orders. A stock company is proposed for the purpose. The general Impression is that the new hall should not be so expeisiv an affair as the former meeting placa. A twd-story frame structure Is moat talked of. This will leave the lower noor for a banquet hall and the upptr one for the lodge rooms. The proposed new hall will be somewhat on the style of the one recently dedicated by the Villa lodge, L Ov O. F., at Montavilla, and will cost about 12500. Oriental Hall was a three-story struc ture, constructed of wood at a cost of JS000. It was jointly owned by Dr. O. V. Botkln, Thomas Graham and L. 8.

The preliminary work for the erection of the two-story building fpr Neustadter Brothers, corner East Taylor and East Sixth streets, was begun yesterday. Early yesterday morning the workmen began the work of excavating for th- large brick basement of the structure. The proposed building will be 50x100 feet, and will be constructed entirely of brick, and will cost about 118,00". The machin ery to be installed In the new factory will cost about tla.000 Slid Is to be op erated by electric power. At first about 200 people will be employed In the manu facture of chothlng. but the number will be Increased to nearly 500 as soon as the workers can be engaged. At the last session of the East Sid Improvement Association It was decldel to arrange a monster demonstration on the occasion of the laying of the corner stone of the factory. A brass band will be engaged and a fine program arranged. Robbers at Work, While W. A. Clow and his wife were returning to their home on Union avenue and East Stark street Sunday evening they noticed several suspicious characters loit ering around tbe vicinity. One of the men was stationed at the Northwest cor ner, another at the Southeast corner of East Stark street and Union avenue, and a third was standing "at the corner of Union avenue and East Washington street in front of the Citisens' Bank. Fearing that something was wrong, Mr. Clow watched the men. The one at the Southeast corner was seen to be trying to force" an entrance into the furniture store of Weldler & Co.. The entrance was marfe and the other two men then crossed the roadway and entered the store. Clow, thinking that everything was not serene, shouted and wanted to know what they were doing. The words had no sooner been uttered before the men came out and disappeared in the darkness on East Stark street. Nothing is missing from the store. Want East Oak Improved. A petition has been sent to the City Council for the improvement of East Oak street from East Water to East Third street A petition for the improvement of the street from East Third to East Ninth street was sent to the Council a number of months-' ago, but after being read, has never been heard of since. The elevated roadways on the street are in a bad shape. Want Another; Carrier.. Residents of Mt Tabor are talking of asking the postal department to furnish, the, district with an. additional mall car rier. The population of the district has increased so fast that the present carrier finds it a hard task to make the rounds each day. . . ' ch as Dumt ping Ground . dents on North Grand avenue aio complaining about tne practice of dump- lug all sort'' of refuse In Sullivan'" Gulch, They say that, dtirijr the warm L weather that their locality la made , un healthy by the rotten vegetables an other material which are daUy deposltei there. The Chief of Police has issued orders against the practice. Bridge Needs Replanking ThV elevated roadway' over Sullivan's Gulch, at Union avenue, is in a dangerous condition for traffic. The' planking on the bridge has worn down and large holes are daily appearing In the structure. If the Union avenue bridge is dosed for traffic, as it will shortly be, unless it is replanked, teamsters will have to go to the West Side in order to cross the gulch. . Mt. Tabor Briefs. Logan Black has returned from a visit with friends in Eastern Oregon. r Miss Elizabeth Royd.s, who has been spending the summer at the residence of Mrs. Doremus, returned to her borne In Richmond, Mo., yesterday.

Nelson, who died at her home at Montavilla yester day of typhoid ' fever, was held today. The remains were interred in the Brain ard Cemetery. FtlGHT OF DREAMS. An eminent public man of England whoso mental faculties had been subject ed to too great a strain and who suffered greatly from mental depression that amounted almost to melancholia, was told by bis physician that he must rest his brain. He was a very busy man and scoffed at his doctor's prescription of a nap In the middle of the day. Finally, after much persuasion, he agreed to this experiment: He would sit In his easy chair every afternoon with his hands on his knoes, holding a dinner bell in his hands. If he lost conscious ness and went to sleep he would be will ing to sleep for the period that it took for the dinner bell to fall to the floor and wake iilm. The doctor who suggested thla arrange ment declared that the mere mental re laxation of going to sleep. If only for a few seconds, would suffice to save him. He Invited his patient to study the ac tivity of the brain bynotlclng how many things he could dream while the dinner bell was falling to the floor. Every day for many months the man sat down after luncheon with the dinner bell In his hundx. Every day he went to sleep, slept for half a second, while the hell fell to the floor, and his mental con dition Improved steadily, partly because of the rest which his mind got through l!rig: consciousness for a second and parti because of his interest'ln the ex traordinary dreams which passed through hi brain while the bell was falling. Chicago News. HE GOT HIS TEXT, ALL RIGHT. I once heard a minister who boasted from his pulpit that he was able to preach from any text In the Bible offhand, with out thought or other preparation, and, aa a test of his talent In extemporaneous speaking, he invited his congregation the next Sunday morning to hand In any texts they would like him to preach from, when he would-show them what fee was able to do. In order that he might not be suspected of surreptitious preparation, the passages of Scripture were to be writ ten upon slips of paper, sealed up in en velopes and placed upon the pulpit im mediately before the opening of the serv ice. The next Sunday morning the pastor came bounding In, pride and confidence gleaming lit his eywr - and fotner-amim ber of sealed envelopes lying upon the big Bible. After the preliminary service he called attention to them, and said he would preach from the text contained In the envelope that lay on the top of the pile. The remainder ha would re serve for future Sabbakhs. Tearing it open, he unfolded a slip of paper and read the words, onpe addressed to the prophet Balaam: . "Am I hot thine ass T Chicago Record Herald. TRIED TO HELP THE POOR HORSE. William H. Paul. Jr.. a Philadelphia artist summering in Solebury township, Bucks County, is responsible for this story, which has set all the farmers up there laughing. Mr. Paul is. unmarried: "Three young women," he said, "drove up to an old mill, and went into raptures over its plcturesqueness. Their dress and speech announced that they were from the city. The horse, relieved from the constant sawing at Ills bit, walked toward a watering trough, but could not get his muzzle down to .drink. The drivers no ticed he wanted water, but did not know enough about harness- to undo his check rein. i "First two of them tried pulling his head down by tuggln at his ears. Then one tried lifting water in her hand for him to lap. When her companions walked to the back of the carriage and raised both rear wheels so the horse could be tlppe.d head first into the trough it proved too much for the miller, who had been looking from a window, and he came to help them. He laughed so much, though, that he could hardly undo th check rein, and afterward found ltyoo stood a Joke to keep." Philadelphia Tslegraph. SUNDAY : CLOSING No Ordinance Against Open Saloons IS A STATE LAW The Mayor Vigorously Expresses Himself on Night Closing. "Are you going to order tbe saloons closed on Sunday?" Mayor Williams was abked this morning. The question was prompted by a rumor In saloon circles to the effect that such an order would be come effective two Weeks hence. "No sir, I have Issued no such orders, and am not thinking of doing so. Ther was a woman in to see me yesterday to urge the closing of saloons on Sunday. I referred her to the District Attorney. NO CITY LAW. "There Is no city ordinance against sa loons keeping open on Sunday, but there is a stats law. If I can masticate all I havs bitten off in trying to enforce the city ordinances, I will consider I have done well. I am up to my ears In work now, and do not Intend to bother with the state laws. If any one has any complaint to make regarding the violation ot laws on the statute books, they should consult th proper state officers." THE NIGHT CLOSING. 'Mayor, the Retail Liquor Dealers' As sociation, has called a meeting to take seme action in regard ' to closing at 1 o'clock." "Useless. Perfectly useless," was th prompt retort "It will do them no good. Th city ordinance Is very plain on its face "and a conviction Is very easily got- ten." By this time his honor had become warmed up with the subject and said with much emphasis: These people become very wearisome. They expect me to violate my oath, as well as the laws I am supposed to en force. All their petitions and resolutions will have no effect whatever on me. A petition whether with five or 6000 names attached, will recelv no consideration from me. GO AT IT RIGHT. Why don't these saloon men go at the matter right? If they don't like the law under which they are licensed to run, why don't they have It repealed or at least modified? There is a way to go at every thing. The saloon men are all wrong. Let them appeal to "the City Council for their relief. "As long as any ordinance is on the books, I intend to Bee it enforced to tho best of my ability." PALMIST OBJECTS. A local palmist called on Mayor Wil liams this morning and objected to pay ing the $15 per quarter license. H thought 5 enough. The Mayor could not alter the ordinance or give the man nny relief.
