Opened in Williams Hall Last Night
Under Favorable Auspices.

In WilIiams's hall last night the fair of
the ImmanIel Lutheran church opened
under most flattering auspices. The OBJ
iect OF this fair is to raise enough money
to enable the society to erect a church for
itself on lot of land which has been
bought on Sherman street. Tha I'm
manuel Lutheran society is quite large
one, and has as it's members many of the
best class of citizens of the city. lhe pas
tor of the church is the Rev. a. Aaron,
who Is a learned gentleman and most en-
thusiastic in the work he is so earnestly
carrying on to place this society in a
home of its own. Williams hall. which is
just below Pearl street on Congress was
handsomely decorated last night. The
many pretty booths decorated in the
national colors and each one surmodnted
by the American flag were presided over
by the ladies of the society and there were
on sale large variety of fancy articles
and some OF the most elaborate work in
embroidery that has been exhibited In
Portland for many day. Miss Hilma
Anderson is the president of the ladies'
sewing circle which did most of the work
for this fair and she is assisted by large
number of other ladies who are anxious
to exhibit the articles which are on sale.
Last night the fair was opened by
brief speech of the pastor of the society
who introduced Hon. Charles H. Randall,
the mayor Of the city. Mr.. Randall was
given warm reception and made very
graceful speech in which he told the So
cieuy that he thought the object of the
fair most praiseworthy one and de-
serving of the liberal patronage of the
people of Portland. Mr.. Randall was
followed by Hon. Josiah III. Drummond
who made most eloquent address, which
was very pleasing to the assembled audi
ence.
This afternoon there will be q literary
and musical programme to be followed
by still more elaL crate programme this
evening with many fine vocal solos and
instrumental music.

BATTLEsHlP MAINE MONUMENT.
Alderman Rounds Idea of Where and ow
1t Should BE Built.

Alderman Rounds is much interested
in the scheme to build monument at
Fort Allen PARK to commemorate the
heroes of the battleship Maine. The city
has appropriated el00O towards this pro-
ject and may be willing to give more
when the proper time arises. Alderman
Rounds says he believes the State Of
Maine would contribute several thou
sands towards this monument and citi-
zeHs at lurge would give a great deal
more. He believes that at least $50, 900
can be raised for the purpose and he has
an idea of what kind of monument
should be erected.
Guild sort of Bunker Hill monument
at Fort Allen Park" said Alderman
Rounds. make it high enough to give
good view of all of the surrounding
country so that one could look miles out
to sea. Equip the monument with eleya-
tors and it would be a great attraction for
Portland and would be fitting memo
rial to the boys who were murdered in
Havana harbor on the battleship which
was named after this stale, belieSe the
citizens of Maine would be glad to help
erect this monument if they had chance
to help do so.

GOES OVER In SENATE.
Evident Attempt To Delay Action

Washington, April 13.-War between

A Worthy Entertainment

The first entertainment to be given
by Samuel E. Wells consisting OF
Shakespel e's Merchant of Venice
to be followed by hilarious and side
splitting humorous sketches, was post
poned from last evening until tonight.
The sale of the course ticket has been
abandoned entirely and the general
price of admission to each of the four
entertainments has been reduced to
the nominal sum of 25 cents.
The change has been judiciously
made in order to give our citizens the
opportunity for hearing something
which in all probability they are not
likely to hear again. Mr.. Wells as a
tragedian is fully the equal of six
Henry Irvings and is nonsurpassed as
light comedy entertainer.
His work not only appeals strongly
to the cultivated and educated class,
but Mr.. Wells unusual powers as a
commedian makes him heartily enjoy
ed by every body. He comes endorsed
by Chauncy M. Depew. He has given
these elegant entertainments before
immense and enthusiastic audiences
in'the east and is unusually spoken of
by the press and general public as the
most enjoyable artist in his line in
this country.
Those who miss the entertainment
tonight are going to miss the greatest
treat OF the season.
Remember that the course ticket has
been abandoned and 25 cents admits
you to each of the entertainments.
But be sure and come tonight.

"The Air Ship" called "spectacu-

j. M. Gates is the author, will anchor
at the Vogt Opera House Saturday
hight. If fthe piece is as unique on the
stage as the title, it will no doubt go
with velocity and furnish merriment
to theatre-goers. Its sole object is to
amuse. incidentally, some new scenic
featuaes are introduced. such as Klon-
dixie in winter. flight of an air ship,
loaded with members of the company.
across the stage. The inventor, an
eccentric character, takes party of
pretty girls to that region, and brings
them back with millions of gold mug
gets and husbands. The piece con-
tains three acts, and special scenery
painted by J. 81. Young, of New York,
is provided for each. In this respect,
it will prove one of the best attractions
of its kind ever offered. To make the
piece go company of unusual excel

Look to Headquarters.

ED. TINES s-MoUNTAINEER:
Noticing your article in last weeks
issue in regard to shipping goods at
the Cascade Locks. would like to say
few words in the matter.
Mr.. Brown, the engineer in charge,
is merely acting under instruc-
tions from Major Fiske, and where
the latter got his orders from I do
not know, but this I do know, he
never received them from Washington.
1t is simply specimen of that spirit
of militaryism that controls the outfit
emerging yearly from that medieval
institution known as West Point.
1t always looked to me as if every
move on the part of the so-called medi-
eyalist was made in favor of the rail-
road company. Everything acting as
a hinderance to the steamboat COM
pany of course favOrs the railroad.
A long acquairtance with parties give
me right to judge. Ihave no prejudice
against the railroad whatever, and
would treat them on O. jury as / would
an individual-give them justice.
The people of The Dalles should go
for headquarters, not for the one be-
low, but for the one on high; talk to
the father, not to his children.
Such fellows should be taught a les
son. AS fit example of the medieval
bantling Irefer you TO the "fiip" lieu
tenant in ISL Klegg". See National
Tribune.

with sort of wild feeling of revenge,
he becomes a changed being and
rushes into battle, perfectly uncon-
scious of surrounding dangers and
thirsting for the blood of those with
whom he is combating. AS to the
treatment he received at Santiago and
while in Cuba, Mr.. Grunow has little
to say. 1t was no picnic excursion. he
says, and the men in the regular
army did not expect the comforts they
enjoyed while doing garrison duty.
therefore they were not disappointed
with either the treatment they re-
ceived in Cuba, or the provisions with
which they were supplied.
Mr.. Grunow was taken sick on July
Both and has been in the hospital until
short time since, when he was given
furlough for thirty days. At present
his company is stationed at Huntsville,
Alabama, and he will join the COM
mand about the 18th of next mouth.

lead out, with Almolene second and
Ida Nc following some distance be-
hind. When they passed under the
wire at the end of the first half mile
Almolene and Alta were together, but
on making the second circuit Alta Dell
went to the front winning the race and
Ida Nc. making good second. The
time was 2:323. Alta Dell took the
lead from the start in the second heat
and held it to the finish, winning the
race in 2:30, Ida Nc making good
second.
A trial was made to finish the
match trot between Estebennet and
Comini. two heats of which were
trotted Friday evening, but the judges
discovered some bad work on the part
of Mr.. Estebennet in driving the
final heat, and the race was declared
off.
In the 4! furlong dash the entries
were Twister, Senator Wilson, Be
gonia ", Stranger and Little I. G.
At the start Twister took the lead,
but was soon passed by the favorite,
Little L. G., who won easily, with
Senator Wilson second and Begonia
third; time, 50.
The crowning feature of the day was
the exhibit given by Del Norte. He
made fine appearance, but conditions
were not favorable for record breaking,
the atmosphere being cold and damp,
hence he was not crowded to his full
speed, though he paced the half mile
in los, which was exceptionally good
time considering the day.
The closing race was 54 furlongs
dash, in which. Midas. None Such.
Nevoso, Jim Brownell and Joe Cotton
were entered. None such was the
winner, and Joe Cotton came out
second.
After this race was run the horse
men and sports collected their be-
longings together and departed for
other fields, all satisfied with the re-
suits, and declafiEg>Shey had had five
days of fine sport at The Dalles.

Mr.. YOcum Thinks it viii Prevent
Disastrous Fires.
GOVERNMENT CAMP, Oct. 10, 1893.
MR.. II. H. DUFUR,
Forest Supervisor.
1 have been acting as guide to the
summit of Mount Hood and making
the ascent number of times, each
year during the months of July and
August since 1883, and from observa-
tions so taken, l am of the opinion
there has been less fire in the Cascade
Forest Reserve, during the present
year than during any time since the
above date. Having made twenty-one
ascents since the I'd of July last, 1
find that only three times has the
smoke been too dense to obstruct
clear view of Mount Shasta, some 300
miles distant. and twice out of the
three times the obstruction was caused
by smoke from ires not on the forest
reserve. l therefore conclude, that
the patroling of the reserve has been of
great benefit and has been the means
of suppressing fires and preventing
the destruction OF valuable timber. l
am, however, of the opinion that the
patrol should be earlier on the ground,
as one fire occurred on July ID, be-
fore the rangers were sent in.
Yours very respectfully,
o. G. YoCUM,
Salem. Ore.
