No Chinese Trouble

The threatened trouble among the
local Chinese has apparently resulted
in nothing serious thus far, as far as
is known. The presence of a consid-
erable number Of Celestials from
Portland is still the cause Of a dis
turbed feeling among some Of the
local colony, and yesterday two or
three Chinese men stated that before
the contention was over there might
be serious trouble. The Tong Chinese
only smile, and aver the whole mat
ter is merely talk from few alarmed
ones. The report yesterday that
Sead You had joined the Tong and
thus avoided the expected trouble
proves to have been erroneous, at
least Sead states it is erroneous. One
member Of the local colony said thai
the presence Of the visiting Tong mer
| is explained by the fact that they LEFT
Portland to avoid being called as Z
witness in Chinese murder case now
being tried in Portland. At th'
sheriff's Office it was said that if tht
Tongs break loose in this city tht
law will lay a heavy hand on ths
miscreants, for the internecine Celes
tial quarrels will not be tolerated
here. ~~~

AFTER THIRTY-TWO
LONG YEARS
FURNITURE HOUSE or cHAs.
HEILBORN & COMPANY TO
BE CLOSED DOWN AT ONCE
MR.. HEILBoRN TO TAKE
UP OTHER INTEREST.

Thirty-two years ago the well
known furniture house Of Charles
Hcilborn & Company was founded
in this city and for the FIRST and last
day Of that long period II has figured,
steadfastly and honorably, among the
strong, substantial and reliable COM
mcrcial fixtures OF the city and sec
ton. And today II becomes the prov
incc OF the Morning Astorian, its
compeer and fcllow-intcrest, Of equal
duration, to declare, upon unequivo-
cal authority, that the old business IS
to be disposed Of and closed forever.
Mr.. Hcilborn, the second genera
ton proprietor Of the fine establish
ment, has wrought hard, and honest
ly. for the success of the concern
committed to his guidance and has
cherished its best traditions and
nourished its least and greatest op-
portunities for progress, leaving
nothing undone that might contribute
to its expansion and successful record.
Indeed, the business, under his
thoughtful manipulation and safe
fostering, has actually outgrown its
| field and has ceased to yield the reve-
nue. that matches the splendid invest
ment it stands for; hence, II is to be
closed down and its capital transfer
red to other fields.
There il not a man nor woman n
the city but will deplore the unto
ward circumstances here dealt with
nor one that will not give friendly
and kindly thought to the history th'
| House OF Hcilborn has made here anc

| Community, nor to deny Mr.. He'll
born the earnest wish for his pro
Inounced success, in whatsoever direc
ton. and interest, shall next engag'

man and citizen.

THEY CAN ALMOST YoDEL


Civilizat ion does not Invariably bring
Improvement in it's train. Man, in his
growing domination over the animal
world, has forced a reputation on the
pig and Obliged 1t to live up to that
reputation by imposing unsanitary con-
state is very different object from the
dirty, wallowing swine of tradition.
Howard 2. Arnold, in "Gleanings from
Pontresina," gives a picture OF the self
respecting pig of that Alpine region.
Pigs are more numerously represent
ed than any other domestic animal.
They are popular because OF the slight
cost OF support The winter they spend
IN unobtrusive retirement, fed on a
rank, coarse dock of which huge yuan
titles are sailed down during the sum-
uer.
In June all swine are sent up togeth-
er to the high Alps for the season. Here
they ramble In the sublimest scenery,
consuming whey, and putting on what
little fat their peculiar construction
will permit.
Being no longer demoralized by the
enfeebling seductions of man, and free
to crafty his own tastes, which are
dainty rather than otherwise, piggy is
neat in person and select In diet. He
shows very plainly that he does not
chose to wallow in mud nor to eat
garbage.
The pig OF the Engadine is not as
other pigs, Even in the fulneSs of
growth he offers little resemblance to
the bloated bondholder generally seen
elsewhere. He is not shaped after such
a model, nor does his hue of rusty
chestnut recall the popular ideal. His
legs are long, his body slender and
his ribs apparent. He is picturesque
rather than beautiful and like Cassius,
hath lean and hungry look"
There is nothing morbid about these
pigs, however, and on their native
heath their movements are nimble and
sprightly. Their shouts turn up with a
defiant air, and their pendent ears and
crafty eyes are never off duty.
/ have watched these frisiSy sybarltes
caperng to and fro, hilarious in the
sunshine, their queer little twisted gilt
tering tails drawn out into elaborate
diminuendoes. They never forget their
sense Of propriety, and do not die rend
ing the sky with discordant protesta'
lions, but slip away with a subdued
grace.
