"Any man who loses the money which
he neer for the support of his wife
and children In a gambling house ought
to be publicly horsewhipped, and 1
would like ttf have the Job."
Tbts is the statement made this af
ternoon by -Peter Grant, owner of the
tPortland club. It wae brought forth
y the case of Mrs. M. Guber, who came
here from Beat tie, in an attempt to col
lect $200 from the gambling house which
4 she aaid her husband lost there.
"I saw the woman at the city Jail last
night" aald Mr. Grant , "l was sent for
by the chief of police and after listen
ing to her I found her in a. more rea-
sonable frame of mind than she was. X
had a talk with my partner over the
telephone. He told me that her hus
band had lost about $35 or $40 in our
house. The woman' told me a hard luck
story and aald that she and her chil
dren had nothing to eat I asked her
what she wanted and she told me that
$100 would be all right Her husband
did not lose that sum.' but as the woman
' was in very poor circumstances I told
her I would give her that sum and also
a ticket to Seattle. I gave her soma
silver so she could live until she got to
her home. She signed a receipt for the
money. The receipt Is now in the hands
of the clerk of that police court There
are so many people who come to ma with
stories of having lost money that X have
to Investigate' every one."
Mrs. Guber appeared at the Portland
club entrance night before laat about
7:80 o'clock. She led a little girl, proba
bly five years old. She demanded of
Peter Grant the return of 1200 whicn
she aald her husband had lost there.
Grant referred her to the Chief of police
or the district attorney. She insisted
on entering the gambling house and
when Grant trie J to prevent her from
entering she attacked him with an urn
brella creating a scene and attracting a
large crowd. Her husband keeps a secv
ondhand store on Washington street. Se
attle. He came to Portland last week,
sold a bill of goods and gambled away
the money. Hla wife immediately on
his return home took train for Portland
and demanded back hla losses.

'Washington. March $.-Tbe, reappoint
ment of Booth and Bridges as land offi
cers at Roseburg in . regarded .by the
Oregon senators as a complete victory
over the Secretary of the interior, who
has persistently opposed their reappoint
ment and is even now not reconciled to
President RboseVelt's action In comply-
ine-with the request of Senators Mitch
ell and Fulton in behalf of the men.
It Is stated by the Oregon senators
; that no' formal charges have at any time
been filed against Booth land Bridges.
The opposition' on the part jf Secretary
" Hitchcock to thejr reappointment was
evidently based upon the report of Spe
cial Agent McMillan, who reported that
Booth" was a, stockholder In and the
treasurer of the Sugar Pin Lumber
company, which has acquired a large
quantity, of timbered land by purchase
-from entry men who ostensibly took up
the lands for their own benefit, but sc'.d
to the lumber company of which Booth
- waa treasurer.
- A request made today to sea this "re
port was denied by the secretary of the
interior and the Oregon senators stated
that' they had been unable to see it
prior to their recent conference with the
president and-the secretary of the in
terior, relative to tha Roseburg reap
pointments. At this conference Presi
dent Roosevelt read the report and im
mediately decided that tha objections of
Secretary Hitchcock were not sufficient
in gravity to Justify a refusal to make
the reappointment . He decided, how-
ever, that before reappointing Booth
tha latter should agree to sever his con
nection with the lumber company, both
as a stockholder and as an officer. The
report of Agent McMillan, it Is stated,
did not charge the lumber company with
any unlawful acts, and the efficiency of
Booth and Bridges was testified to in
flattering terms.1 The contention of the
secretary of tha interior was that
Booth's connection with the lumber com
pany waa not compatible with his duties
as an officer of the government, charged
with .the administration of public land
and he reluctantly waived his objection
to the reappointment Early conflrma
tlon by the senate of ' Booth's and
Bridge'-appointment is expect
Committee Aote ravorably.
Washington, March 2. The senate
committee on publio lands reported
favorably today the nominations of
Booth and - Bridges, If - an --executive
session is held this afternoon Senator
Fulton expects .confirmation of both ap
pointments. sttbb ottkb roa pn.ua.

After making a record run up the
coast in the remarkably short time of
rour aays ana men crossing me Colum
bia river bar without the assistance of
a pilot or tugboat, the British bark This
tle reachi-d the harbor this morning
looking fresh as a daisy on a bright
May morning Had he not taken the
chances and crossed the bar when he
did Captain Kngland is confident that
the vessel would still be beating off the
coast somewhere between the mouth of
the river and Puget Sound. A strong
gale was raging at the time the river
was sighted, and as the wind waa in the
right direction he concluded to assume
the risk of crossing, and the attempt
proved entirely successful.
' But I was never so glad in my life.
says the captain, "when I dropped an
chor on the Inside of the bar. The bark
was light, not drawing more than IS
feet and that helped out matters con
siderably. She never bumped once on
the bottom, but went gliding through
the narrow channel like a yacht. Just
one hour- elapsed after we squared off
for the bar until we reached Astoria,
The" tide was running out at the rate of
six or seven knots an hour. We cam
through tha south channel, and not the
north as has been reported.
"There was nothing remarkable about
the feat," modestly continued the skip
per. "I was compelled to pursue the
course I did. or be contented to drift
aimlessly about in the storm for perhaps
a fortnight The schooner Wilson,
which arrived from San Francisco about
two weeks ago, was off the bar 11 days
before she got in tha river. Had I
waited that would have been my fate."
' The Thistle came in ballast from San
Francisco. On the way up the coast
the steamer Grace Dollar was sighted
flying signals of distress. ' The bark
hove to but could render no assistance;
When she arrived at Astoria, however,
the matter was reported and the tug
boats put out in- search of her. - She
was finally located by the Wallula and
towed to safety. Four hours after, had
she been left to herself, the captain
says she would .have drifted Into Caps
Disappointment and been wrecked. An
other steam schooner was spoken by
the Thistle, but her name could not be
learned.
During the past two years, since .'eav
ing her home port at Cardiff, the Thistle
has covered a distance of approximately
S5.89T miles, which is equivalent to
1,600 miles a month. In that .time she
sailed from Cardiff to Tacoma; from
there to Cape Town; thence to Buenos
Ayres; thence to Sydney; from Sydney
to Newcastle and then to SarTFranclsco.
This is Captain England's third trip to
Portland. He will probably be remem
bered locally as the man who sailed In
over the Columbia bar, which Is a little
piece of navigation that has been sel
dom attempted since Captain Gray's
time.

A' point of honor with a muslo
house of unquestionable standing
and financial stability lies in tne
selection of a line of pianos with
which to foster and strengthen that
standing, if the experience of one'
user of a certain make of piano is
valuable testimony aa to the mer- J
its of that piano, how much more
Valuable and dependable must be
the experience and testimony of a
reliable establishment. Which has
for years kept in, constant touch
with hundreds of Instruments of
the same make, whose very eoed
ness has been one of the pillars
upon which the reputation of the
firm has been built?
