Portland is growing faster than the re mainder of the state and has been for over 40 yeaxs. Its percentage of increase in population has been greater than that of J the state at large, In every decade since 1850, wRh the exception of the 10 years betweenj 1S30 and 1SG0. From 1S50 to I860 the state Increased 291.7 per cent; Port land, 250.1 per cent. Increases for other decades have been: 1SG0 to 1S70, Portland, 1S8.6 per cent; Oregon, 73.3; 1870 to 1880, Portland, 111.9; Oregon, 92.2; 1880 to 1890, Portland, 1C3.9; Oregon, 79.5; 1SS0 to 1900, Portland, 94.9; Oregon, 3L8. Portland's per cent of the population of the state has increased from a little over one-twentieth in I860 to over one fifth in 1900. Comparisons follow: Portland's State. Portland.

"Prices go one way, the thermometer the other, here in Winter. The minimum temperature established here last month, according to the government records, is 73 deg. below, but a Dawson'Jeweler, who has a good glass out, recorded S deg. below. Several bottles of Perry Davis' pain-killer were hung out. and they are supposed to freeze at 72 deg. They were put out of business. Today, however. Is 10 deg. above, and we are having fine Winter weather.

The Importance of this new circuit to this business community, and, in fact, to the entire Pacific Northwest, can scarce ly be overestimated, and will be more fully appreciated when It becomes gen erally known that it Is both possible and practicable to land a telegraph dispatch in Chicago, almost 3000 miles away, within one minute after it is filed at the West ern Union Telegraph Company's office in this city.

The British Empire is hunting for hor ses In Oregon, with which to mount Its cavalrymen, renew its artillery stock, and haul its army supplies in South Africa. J. F. Cook, of Omaha, who has purchased many thousands of horses in the United States for the British Army cince John Bull and Oom Paul locked horns in the Transvaal, is at the Perkins. He expects to buy 500 or more In Oregon within the next few months, and to that end will do considerable traveling over the state. He already has 2000 head engaged in Har ney County for delivery early in Sum mer. Mr. Cook says most of the American horses purchased for the English Army are shipped either from Buffalo or New Orleans. "It takes about a year," he said, "to render a Western horse capable of passing muster at the hands of the Eng lish Inspector. When we first get them, they are wild, but a 2000-mile ride in a stock car renders them pretty docile. I They have, however, to be acclimated to the Mississippi Valley States, and fully 20 per cent of the animals die during this test, as the change from the elevation and breezy pastures to the hot, malarious low lands Is a very severe one. Tho horse which survives this ordeal for a year, displays an iron, constitution, and Is con sidered a valuable accession to the South African stables. The cavalry horses bought for the British Army are of the same height and weight as desired by Uncle Sam, the reg ulation cavalry horse being 14 to 15 hands high and " weighing 1000 to 1100 pounds. Xo blemishes or shortcomings will be ac cepted, and the gait must be regular and without interference in the hoof or fet lock. A hors may meet all the require ments as to color, height, weight and expression of eye, but If he lacks a good, steady stride, he must be condemned. Artillery horses and those intended for fighting, must, of course, be heavier and capable of handling their share of the load whether maneuvering with light gun cartages on the battle field, or lugging the heavy supply wagons over the hot sand3 of the veldt."

Cures wind collo and diarrhoea. By Accident, an Emergency Qlnuxe "Was Inserted. The now fee bill covering the offices of the Sheriff. Clerk of the Circuit Court, Clerk of the County Court, and Recorder of Conveyances is now a law, and will be put Into operation at once. A certi fied copy of the act was received from Salem yesterday by County Auditor Pope. The act as originally drawn was made to take effect In SO days. This was so as to allow time to obtain some new books. By some mistake, the emergency clause was inserted, and the various officials will have to do the best they can for the present with the books they have on hand. Changes in the style of book have only to be made in a few instances. Under the new law, upon the filing of any suit, action, appeal, etc., in the State Circuit Court, a deposit of $10 must be made to cover the fees which will be charged up as they are earned, and a further deposit will be required when necessary. Fees unearned will be re funded when the case Is closed. A deposit will be required of ?5 from each defendant on his appearence, and additional deposits as necessary. Un earned fees will also be returned to de fendants The trial fee In a jury caso is $12 alto gether, and not fl2 per day as at present. For a trial before the court the fee Is $6 except in a divorce suit where a SI fee will be exacted, and ?G in a contested divorce suit. The plaintiff is required to demand a jury or waive the same in writing four days before the time the case Is set for trial, and pay the trial fee If a jury is desired. The defendant Is allowed two days thereafter either to demand or waive a jury and pay the fee. If both waive a jury the trial shall be before the court except that the court Is empowered to call a jury, and In such case the trial fee shall bo fixed up as cost to the losing party. In the County Court, on the commence ment of any action, probate proceeding, etc., a deposit of 52 50 is required, and a further deposit of $5 or a sum to cover additional fees, as Is necessary. The Sheriff collects the actual fees due. and also the Recorder. Cases now pend ing continue under the old fee laws until ended. The idea of the new fee system Is to charge for the amount of services per formed in each case, Instead of the 'for mer blanket fee method of a certain specified sum in each case. The new act Is patterned after the statute of 1SS2, which was repealed to realize more rev enue for the county, but In the state Circuit Court Clerk's office, and office of the County Clerk, at the beginning, and until a number of the cases already on file, and for which fees have already been paid, have been wound up, the receipts J will probably be less. ROBBED ON THE HIGHWAY. GmiK of Holios Steal Fifteen Cents From ii Cripple. A gang of eight hobos who infest the water front attacked a cripple in his trundle chair, yesterday noon, and robbed him of 15 cents. R. P. Gilliam is tho name gi'en by the victim, who says ho was born in Polk County, Oregon, and was rendered helpless at the age of 3 years by St. Vitus' dance. He has an as-slstant. a young man named Fred Ro schel, who wheels him around the coun try, the pair living off the contributions of the charitable. Both were near tho foot of Everett street yesterday, when tho hobos, who were rendered hilarious by drink, came out from under the dock, and one of them ordered the cripple to give up what money he had. Robchel ob jected and threatened to call the police, and was dealt a blow in the mouth for his pains, after which two of the gang went through Gilliam's pockets and wero rewarded with three nickels for their trouble. The cripple and his helper wero then told to remain where they were until the thugs could get out of sight, on penalty of being thrown into the river. The police were notified soon after, however, and succeeded in rounding up the whole gang In various portions of the North End, and they will be given a chance in the Municipal Court this morn ing to deny the charge of highway rob bery, which Gilliam will prefer against them. Their conduct since their arrest shows that they have no dread of im prisonment as they will obtain a series of square meals, with little or no effort on their part. The crippled man and his assistant re cently arrived in Portland, overland, by team from San Francisco, stopping at towns and farmhouses on the way, and say they had a good time enjoying tho mountain scenery and the charity of those whom they encountered. They travel around all- the time, Gilliam said, as his relatives in Polk County caro nothing for him and will render him no assistance.. He also has a sister and brother-in-law in Spokane, but they are unable to help him. He Is now finding refuge in the Medical Mission, Corner of Fourth and Ankeny streets, where the pair are being kindly cared for, without money and without price. The team, Gil liam said, is being cared for by a Linn County friend. Woolen Mill Meetlnpr. A meeting of the people of Peninsula will be held Saturday night under tha auspices of the Peninsula Sub-Board of Trade for the purpose of considering tho location of the proposed woolen mill.
