TRAINING WILD ANIMALS.

Of all the big cats, including that magnificent jungle -maned monarch of might, the lion, and including those beautifully spotted orange and black williams, the jaguar and the leopard, and their cousin that noiseless, lightn- ing-swift traitor, the panther, train CTS prefer to handle the tiger This is contrary to the popular belief which credits the tiger as the most blood thirsty of all wild beasts. The tiger is, however, the quickest to learn and the eaiest to handle. Whereas the tiger all ways remains a nervous highstrung brute, after time lion becomes phlegmatic and lazy and requires urg- ing, which Is apt to cause trouble. Whereas the tiger is a demon incarn- ate and merciless, once aroused, he is at least an honest fighter who gives ample warning when about to attack and only as a rare exception man from behind, unlike the jaguar, and the leopard and the panther, which are treacherous and almost invariably attack when a back is turned Again of all this dangerous family the na- ture of the tiger comes nearest that of an ordinary house cat, and, always comparatively the tiger it is that is most apreciative once the master has succeeded in establishing his truce. Then, like the domestic cat, he likes to brush up against the person of his trainer loves to have his back rubbed
 q and groomed and the top of his head scratched to sooth the everlasting ica between the ears, while, he emits purrs of satisfaction, forgetting that the least unforeseen accident may arouse murderous instincts that would in a twinkling convert the friendly meet ing into shambles.-A w. Rolker, in Appleton's Magazine.

TELLS OF SULSBERG FOREST
STATE FORESTER RAVES AD- DRESSES TALE FORESTRY CLUB

! Revenue for Twenty Years from Fa- nous German Forest Paid for New Water and Gas WOrks--LessOns Bur- den of Taxation for Peasants-White Pine and Douglass Fir Being IntrO-
 duced There.
 At a meeting of the Yale Forest club at HeubIein's last evening Austin F. Hawes, state forester of Connecticut. gave an informal talk on 'The Sulz- burg Forest
 The program of the evening was ar ranged by Messds. Dana, Wilburg and Munger of the senior class of the forest school
 A pleasing musical entertainment was rendered by the Alpha colored quartet.
 Among the many forests that MT. Hawes visited during his stay in Eu- rope last summer was the sulsburg for est, of which he made a special study. The forester of this tract has been very successful in increasing its efficiency. The revenue from 5000 acres has been sufficient in twenty years to pay for a town hall, new water works, gas works and other improvements. Besides these returns the forest pays dividend to each family so that only three men In the village pay our more for taxes than they receive. from the forest. The woods are so dense that in some places the logs from one acre sell for. over one thousand dollars. The pay of the forester in Germany is smaller than in this country and in France they receive still less. The maximum salary in Germany is about $160O. No forester gets this before he has served ten years after graduating from a four year course in a forest school.
 It is interesting to Americans that trees such as the white pine and doug las fir and some other species native to this country are being planted in both Germany and France on an increasing ly larger scale.

KNE1sEL oUARTETTE CONCERT.
Large Audience in Lampson Hall Last
 Evening.


 Zero weather, snow and slippery walks-surely a bad combination-did
 not prevent very large audience from attending the Kneisel Quartette concert in Lampson hall last evening. The sacrifice of the home fireside for the love of pure music was well repaid, for the quartette was in splendid form and
 gave one of the best concerts of the season. With the Kneisels there is no work for the critic. The perfection of
 ensemble disarms criticism. The con- cert opened with Mozarts Quartette in
 A major-delightfull old-fashioned and
 overflowing with graceful melodies Against this background of the strictly
 classical were set two compositions of
 the modern school-two movements from Maurice Revel's Quartette in F
 major and the whole of Tschaikowskis S Quartette in F major, Opus p. The first was interesting in it's ever-chang- ing harmonic web. As In the case of
 many of the modern compositions, it's melodic contents were of no great im- portance, Its appeal was chiefly to the
 intellect. The Tschaikowski Quartette proved to be a splendid composition and frequently orchestral in it's bigness.
 It was played with great animation.
 Its most appealing movement was the andante, much more impressive piece of writing than the andante from an- other of this composers trios, if less sustained in melody. The closing move ment of the quartette called for power which taxed the possibility of the four string instruments.
 The remaining concerts of the season are on March 1S and April 8.

HOLIDAY TANClE
IN OREGON

PORTLAND, Dec. 12.-Because
Gov. Chamberlain skipped Friday
and Saturday in his holiday proc
lamations, there can be no sessions
of state circuit court for the trial
of cases until January. The Ore
gon code provides that when no
court is opened on the first two
days of aterm the court is adjourn
ed by operation of law until the
next term. Friday and Saturday
We're the first judicial days in De-
cember, and were therefor the
first days of the term.
Legal complications and confu-
sion may follow the act of Gov.
Chamberlain in not proclaiming
las Friday and Saturday legal
holidays, according to the opinions
of some Of the best lawyers of
Portland. Law suits. appeals, the
protest of commercial paper, Grim
inal prosecutions, the December
terms of the circuit courts, and
possibly the 1907 tax levy may be
barred by the fact that the people
did not know Friday and Saturday
were not holidays.

MZXUP OVER
SPRAGUE ST. WORK

City. Commissioner O'Brien finds
several flaws in the line of attack
made upon the board of public
works by G. B. Dennis because his
company was not permitted to have
its way about building the new
Sprasue st. trestle. Mr.. Dennis has
been trying for some time to secure
the work of building the trestle on
lump price of $4,000 The city
attorney ruled that the work could
not be awarded in this manner, but
must be advertised for bidding.
The property interests Mr.. Dennis
represents would be the chief bene-
ficiaries by the improvement.
AS the board figures it, the city,
paying an exorbitant price for the
work. included in which cost
would be the removal of rock cliffs
on the Dennis property, which I'M
der ordinary conditions would cost
the owners so much per yard to re-
move. If the work is let to con-
tract through bidding the company
will have to make its own terms for
this removal with the contractor.
Mr.. Dennis has filed protest
against any bid being accepted not
in accordance with his own plans
now In the engineers office, and
accuses the board of illegal action
in advertising Tor bids.
Regarding the charges Commits
sioner J. T. O'Brlen this morning
said;
THE city council, as the legisla-
tive body of the city, concurred in
the recommendation of the board
of works which in a communica-
ton to the council said that it
would advise calling for bids and
plans.
''Mr Dennis says the roadway
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-12-12

would not be acceptable to the ma
jority of the property owners. The
roadway specifications called for
are the same as those in the Den
mis- plans. Also, the sidewalks are
the same.
'Mr. Dennis further says that the
Spokane & Inland railroad would
not accept a roadway less than 100
feet wide. This railroad goes un-
der the trestle. No mention of the
desires of the railroad or what
would be acceptable to it are made
in the advertisement for bids ex-
cept that provision must be made
to keep the water from flowing into
the viaduct, and room must be pro-
vided for four tracks.
Mr. Dennis says that since the
railroad is to pay share of the
cost it should have a voice in de-
Gliding the acceptance of the plans.
The Dennis proposition did not
stipulate that the city could collect
cent from the company, because
Mr.. Dennis reserved that right unto
himself.
HE also says that he will send
the board letter protesting
against any acceptance of a bid
which does not include the same
plans and specifications as are on
file in the city engineers office. The
only plans on file there are the Den
mis- plans. Under this arrangement
it would be making Mr.. Dennis a
present of the job on his own plans,
as other contractors would prob
ably submit different plans.
Regarding the reference to the
charter of the city Mr.. Dennis is
using the words and not it's mean
ing to secure the adoption of his
own plans and not those of the
city engineer"

KNIGHT HITS
BACK

Seymour II. knight, constructing
engineer OF the Washington st.
bridge, this morning stated with re-
gard to the charges of incom-
potency and acknowledgement
brought in the council meeting
Tuesday night by Councilman Funk
that he either wanted officials to
allow him to run things or to take
the works off his hands. Council
man Funk said that Sc men were
employed last night, among them
eight engineers, and that every
other man was either foreman or
clerk. Mr.. Knight says that a
crew of only about 80 men has been
employed and explained the fact
that Sc men were on the pay-rolls
last month by saying that some of
them only worked day or two and
then quit. This was the same with
some of the engineers He denies
that every other man was a clerk
or foreman and said that only two
foremen are employed while three
are really needed, one for each of
the tire shifts.
The only charge he does not
deny is that three hosting engines
have been rented at cost of $S5
months. He throws the blame for
this on the board or public works.
Il have contended from the first
that it would be cheaper for the
city to purchase its own engines, "
ha said "and tplI mpmbarc of tho
board that renting engines in the
long run would be more costly that
buying them"

AFTER MAYOR
WITH AN Ak

MEDFORD, Ore, Dec. 12.-As a
result of a furious debate between
Mayor Reddy, of Medford, and w.
s. Barnum, in the presence OF
Railroad Commissioner Oswald
West, Mayor Reddy was COMPEL
ed to flee for his life when Barnum
assaulted him with an axe and
threw the axe after the running
executive.
The fight started when J. c. Bar
mum attacked the mayor with his
fists. Bystanders intereferred,
which caused the elder Barnum to
go crazy with anger. He secured
an axe and entered tho fray. Bar
mum was arrested later at Jackson
vile.
The trouble was caused over
lack Of depot facilities afforded by
the Rogue River Valley road, of
which w. S. Barnum is president.

C0NFESSES HIS
CRO0KEONESS

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.-J.
Dalzell Brown, manager, has con-
fessed that false entries were made
in the books of the defunct bank
of the California Safe Deposit &
Trust Co. The bank examiners
confirm the rumor that he had done
SO this morning.
The confession was not VOlun-
tary, but was made after long
sweating. Finally when Brown
was cornered he blurted out:
Yes, it's true; those entries do
not represent real transactions
The items in question are two
that make it appear as If the bank

PORTLAND BANK
WILL PAY OUT

PORTLAND, Dec. 12.-Allowing
for shrinkage Of $500 500 in its
assets. the Title Guarantee & Trust
company should still be able to pay
dollar for dollar, according to the
report prepared by Receiver
George H. Hill and filed by his at
torney, Joseph Simon, with Federal
Judge Wolverton. The assets of
the defunct institution are listed In
Receiver Hills report at $3,06l ,493,
and the liabilities at $4,000 900,
leaving surplus of assets of $780,

As there is always a shrinkage
and many items impossible to col
lect in full or in part, the report
shows that there is a wide mar
gin allowing for this shrinkage.
