LONG AGO PIONEERS
Joseph Bachtei .Securing Collection
of Early Time Ball Players'.
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

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

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."

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. Nor
mandin. BUILDING FACTORY
Neustadter Bros. Begin Work of
Excavation Will Cost $18,000.
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. . . '

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.

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

he called attention to them, and said he

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.
