v "Let us go. out there and open a goose
farm."
"A gooaa farm?" ,
"Yes, a goose farm. ' It it is as you
describe it and the ' land can . be pur
chased cheaply or leased 'advantag
eously,! it la Just the ideal place for a
goose farm." . - -
' But I ,iuerled what is a goose farm,
I never before heard of such a thing.,
"Why. a goose farm Is a - place to
raise geeso on and nothing else,)gnd
- for the investment therels no other kind
of a farm so profitable. ; Why, they, are'
as. profitable, as sheepraislng, and the
reason why there are so few in, this
country , is the difficulty of finding sq
suitable a location . where ! you - have
plenty of grass and water, combined
, and right', at : the -very fence rails of
, your ground is your market in the city
: itself. v,-,.;'.' ::,r-.v..' v"o
"Why,,. Just imagine the: 'pjucklngs'
and the price paid for ''live' feathers;
talk of your , wool clips, and-then there's
'Thanksgiving' and Christmas, when the
; demand for stuffed goose is enormous
and the great yearly increase that the
-supply would always grow "with tho
demand, and the little expense com
pared with other' industries that require
big investments, while the goose farm
profits were enormous when the con
ditions were such as I describe."
The above was part of a conversation
at Fort Yates, Dakota, where I . was
visiting less than : a year after my
leaving Portland, for - Montana, now
nearly a quarter of a century ago. The
speaker was the post trader of the
' fort. The- conversation took - plltee in
the officers' club rooms.. I was i de-
, scribing the city of Portland where. I
then hailed from, its marvelous growth
even in those 7 days giving' its re
sources, its prospects for a great fu
ture, how" real estate-values were in
creasing, etc., and that the city would
; grow southward, as north of the Clar
endon .hotel there was then, a. few. lum
ber yards, and the ground being of a
swampy nature, . grass and water in
abundance. : there never would be any
city growth in that direction. Grass
and water In abundance, and can be
: bought cheap, says my friend Douglas,
the post trader. "Why,' the ideal place
for a goose farm.".
When J arrived In Portland last Sat-
- urday I found the terminal buildings
M . . V- 1 11 J .k. 1
pot and all around it streets in every
direction and between there and the lo
cation where stood :' the Clarendon, a
city in itself . and containing as large
a population as all Portland proper con
tained in the days I speak of. This
new addition not only covers the place
where it was suggested I should go
Into goose farming, but far and away
beyond. ' This ' is one of the great
..changes that strikes me which Tias oc
curred in - Portland's expansion, and

plays and players of those early days.
Those were what are. called the stock
days., when the .player had a habitation
and his own little circle of friends in
the community, and were he a popular
performer the circle was enlarged . ac
cordingly. How changed is everything
even in the actor's life. " In .those
: stock days favorite actor's could remain
for years in one engagement. They had
their homes, their Sundays were spent
with their -families, interchanges of so
cial visits on the Sabbath was custom
ary. Not-even rehearsals were ever
given except in ; extraordinary cases,
which were seldom on a Sunday. Now
the Sunday is no day of rest for the
actor, .the exigency of change in all
things', and most of all in the Insatia
ble public in the manner and matter of
its amusements, makes the coming of

after due ' deliberation, ;, suggestions

general - thing the - managers were al

that a manager of a theatre or a com
pany was without the experience of th
actor. The business was conducted dif
ferently and not systematized as it is
at the present time. Commercialism In
the : theatre wim pretty much an ''un

'Sentiment and the artistic side of his
profession prevailed, and very often he
foolishly supposed that what . appealed
to him individually as an actor for its
beauties, in an artistic sense, would also
appeal to the public at large, but here
he would be woefully mistaken at
times.. In the new t state of things

MODERN TRAINS ON
SIBERIAN ROAD
Folders descriDtive of the Trans-SI
berlan railroad reached the local offlc of
the Northern Pacific this morning. The
folders are sent by Jules Clerfayt, gen
eral agent for the United States, located
at San Francisco. The road runs from
St. Petersburg io Vladivostok directly
through the heart of Russia and Siberia,
a distance of 6,707 miles. The road
also runs through Manchuria to Pekin
and the enormous amount of .14 miles
of track is embraced In the system be
tween Fekin and St. Petersburg.
According to the folders received the
road operates modern sleeping and din
Ing cars. The Russian built epglnea are
apparently of the most recent Mogul
type. - The "Tralns-de-luxe" operated
across the Siberian territory . are com
posed of a flrst'class sleeper, two second-
class cars, a dining car, a composite car
with "bath' room, dynamo and-a store
room. The whole train is lighted by
electricity, . provided with steam heat
ana electric fans, noise and jar-deadening
apparatus and each car, owing to the
broad gauge used, is larger and more
airy than American tr .continental cara.

A practical illustration of the need
of a full paid Sre department and more
equipment was given a day or two ago
when a small house at Tenth and Mill
streets was found in lames.

Laudenklos to the scane. : With all this
apparatus there were but 10 paid men,

cause no box alarm was sounded. The
firemen had a hard time to man the ap
paratus and' it was only with the aid
of the drivers and some outsiders that
the companies' were able -to subdue the
flames. . A box call would have, been
sounded, but the.re is no box for several

- With all the apparatus which went to
this flro there were nbt more' than
enough men . to . properly handle the

the present system is that in cases of
still alarms the few men on the appa
ratus cannot handle it properly. -
. Crossed wires were 1 responsible ' for
two fires and a great deal of excitement
In 'the neighborhood of Sixteenth and
Columbia streets, late last night. At 11
o'clock smoke was seen coming from the
telephone box in the home -of ' R. P.
Knight and soon flames darted from the
receiver. Mr. Knight cut the wires and
the fire burned out. ' Knowing that the
phone of his next door neighbor, Charles
Clemens, 286 Sixteenth street, was on
the same line, he investigated and dis
covered flumes In the sitting room of
the Clemens residence. Mr. and Mrs.
Clemens were not' at home,, but neigh
bors broke into the residence and dis
covered a couch ablaze, while flames
were pouring from the box. The lounge
was carried to the street,, but consider
able damage was done to the dwelling,
Some of Mrs. Clemens' wearing apparel
was destroyed.
An alarm from box 85 summoned the
department, which had a long run. The
fire was extinguished before the ap
paratus arrived, but the firemen cut
the wires. Shortly aner midnight an
ther call from the' same box resulted
from a fire in the home of E. Mildred,
272 Sixteenth street.- ' Crossed' wires
here formed a short circuit and set fire
to the porch. . The fiamos were quickly
put out.

It is believed that the telephone line
became crossed ' with an electric light
