I The Common Council yesterday after- loon declared its intention to pave Twen- -thlrd street with vitrified brick, on cpn- rete foundation, between Washington fcreet and Nicolai avenue, a distance of blocks. The City Engineer was In- itructed to prepare an ordinance to nro- llde for street signs and for the renum- enng of the streets. In accordance with recommendation submitted by the Lewis ia uiarx civic Improvement Assocla- lon.

"WHEN TOHOLD STATE FAIRS vwUn,ii,i:mt0 John aiinto Argues Against-Celebrations in the Crop Season. SALEM. Or.. Sept 17(To the Editors Permit me the uie of the columns of The Oregonlan to protest against the needless Injury done the industrial Interests of this state by the Ill-considered effects of mak ing the first of September a public holi day as Labor day, by making the first half of the month an -unholy show of the callousness and Indifference to the pro ductive Interest of the state by those who planned and carried out the recent Elk Carnival, and last, but far from least the in 4 3 i .1, - ., . . V.. ill-judged selection of the time for holding Labor day was ill chosen because It called for a celebration of labor when the grain and hay harvest was demanding all the labor it could secure. The same rea sons. In a greater degree, apply to the ill chosen time for the Elks' Carnival. - In the judgment of the writer, the whole costs and disbursement of that buffoonery multiplied "by 10 would not cover the in Jury It has done to the general Industries of this and the neighboring states. The effect of holding the State Fair in the' middle of the hop harvest is more local In Its effects, because the hop crop is mainly a Willamette Valley interest; but the Injun- affects seriously what is -the most certain cash crop of any, and this year of highest quality of product .and comparatively high price. Thls.makes the suspension of pickers- to attend the State Fair both annoying and costly to those who have the harvest on their hands. This Is written by a well-wisher of State Fairs, who has had many years of experience In their management, and who knows that the most successful fairs ever held In Oregon were held between the 1st and 12th of October, and that Is as early as anything like a full exhibition of Oregon products fruits especially can be secured. Indorsing the tenor of your today's edi torial on "State Fairs Old and New," and the fact that the. opening of the present fair beats the record of the past, this I believe proves two facts first,' the pres ence of many new people, and a great in crease of those in Western Oregon not connected with harvesting the crops; sec ond, the increased attention to meat and dairy production in Western Oregon. The columns of The Oregonlan of 42 years ago will show able editorials advis ing farmers to enlarge their wheat fields and put ms into connection with the Eu ropean matkets. Now Its tenor aa to Western Oregon's Increased meat produc tion shows that it has given -wise counsel both times. This is written to indicate that from 58 years' experience of Oregon climate, I would rather attend a State Fair in October, with rain, than In mid September, in heat and dust. . J. MINTO.

GOVERNMENT ENGINEERS WHO WILL DETERMINE UPON COLUMBIA RIVER ' ' jf7 tV jvV . MAP SHOWING NATURE OF PROPOSED JETTY EXTENSIONS AT RIVER'S MOUTH. The Government engineers who will Inspect the Columbia River and determine upon the Improvements for the bar and CelNo Polls, will arrive In Portland thlirmornlnc from California. There will be two.-boards of en&lneers. One will ln'ct!ff&te the needs of navigation on the bar. and the other will look Into the problem presented above the dalles. "The board which will Investigate the bar will meet this mcrntn? at Captain W. C. XAngfitt's office. It Is composed of Major William L. Marshall, of New Tork; Captain Edward Burr. Instructor In the Engineering College at Washington; Captain J. C. -Eanford. In charge of Government works ai Charleston. S. C; Captain Casstus E. Gillette, In charge at Savannah, and Captain Charles H. McKInstry. instructor In the Engineering College nt Washington. The other board Is composed of Lieutenant-Colonel William H. Heur, division engineer at San Francisco; Major William L. Marshall. Captain Edward Burr, stationed at Washington Barracks; Captain Casslus E. Gillette and Captain Charles H. Mc KlMtry. The Chamber ot Commerce has appointed a special committee to receive, the gentlemen on their arrival. It consists of S. M. Mears, president of thechamber; George Taylor, chairman of the navigation committee, and Charles F. Beebe. chairman of the entertainment committee. After the engineers have had their meeting at 11 o'clock in Captain iTangfltt'a office they will be the guests of - the Chamber of Commerce at the Arlington Club at lunch. It Is Impossible to forecast the doings of the engineers. The bar board will doubtless make a personal .Inspection of the mouth of the Columbia River, and will probably do so at once. They will determine whether to extend the Jetty, according to present plans, or to attach a spur to it on the northern side, so as to make .narrower the mouth of the river; or to build a 'jfctty from Cape Disappointment. The Celllo board will weigh tb$ respective merls of the boat railway and canal projects. The commercial Interests of Portland are fully alive to the urgency of the situation on the bar. A minimum depth of only 20 feet In the bar channels has aroused citizens to a full realization ot the menace that confronts the shipping or this port. "If there Is only 20 feet at one place In the channels, at zero tide,'" said a citizen yesterday, "that means Just 20 feet, and no more, for a channel Is no deeper than Its shallowest part." v , A number of shipping men jwere Interviewed yesterday as to their opinion about what should be done to remedy the sit uation. "What to do Is all a "matter ot guesswork with us," they said, "and we prefer to leave the question with the ensl ncers. ..They are the men to .lve the riddle." The Chamber of Commerce wllj urge upon the Government engineers the extreme ssrlousness of the Columbia, bar. Its nav igation committee has made close examination of the situation, and at Tuesday's meeting of the trustees submitted . a report which was unanimously adopted. The report is as follows: . - "It Is found that there are 21 feet of water for nearly a mile wide In the channel, which, consequently, at neap tides only allows some 28 or 20 feet of water on the bar. This Is- a most ' serious condition of water, and the committee regret to say that at present tner n means of relief - "The board of engineers Is to meet here on Thursday. September 13, for the purp&s of deciding- what. If any. modifications are to be made In the present plan of Jetty work at the mouth of the Columbia River, but owing to the lateness of the time . when the river and harbor bill was passed and the money made available we fear It"wlll not be possible for the United State3 englneera to make any material difference before next Summer. , "The committee would respectfully suggest that the matter be brought to the attention of Captain Langfltt for presentation to the board cf Mutineers, as showing the necessity for the earliest possible Improvement of the mouth of the river, by Jetty works or by dredelng, as the board may decide to be to the best advantage. . "The committee respectfully suggests to the board of trustees that some attention be shown to the two boards of engineers. - (on the-mouth-of the Columbia and Improvement at the dalles. an,d Alsp'that these gectlpmen be-requested to-meet the trustees . to "discuss these matters during their stay here. The committee also suggests - that the board of trustees offer their services to .Captain 'Langfltt, if they can assist him In any way. to facilitate the work of the board of engineers." WILL STEAMERS TIE UP? GREAT INTEREST IN PLANS OP THE O. R. fc- N. CO. Shippers Are in the Dark Other Companies May Invade the Field The lamber Fleet. - .There 'is th greatest Interest In ship ping circles as to what the p. R. & N. Co. proposes to do with its line of steam ers between Portland and San Francisco. 'The announcement that it "contemplates"" withdrawing the boats Is not taken ser iously by many people who are posted In the coastwise carrying trade, and in the absence of a definite statement as to the company's Intentions It Is believed by many that the move Is merely In the line of Inducing merchants to patronize It more freely. Others look upon it as pre liminary to some other arrangement by the Harrlman interests for handling the uslnees between the two ports, and there are some who believe the threat Is a "blub -j held oyer the striking engineers who have tied up the company's river boats. There is no doubt that if the Columbia and "Elder are permanently laid off the run, and no other provision Is made by the O. R. & N. for handling Its ocean busi ness, a crowd of small steam schooners owned by Independent concerns will In vade the field. Thero are any number of thece coasters available at ports between San Diego and Puget Sound, and the busi ness, for small and cheaply operated craft, Is considered profitable. Many of these small steamers would be glad to bring freight here, taking down lumber or part lumber cargoes. Furthermore, there Is a good movement southward or such traf fic as the railroad cannot well handle, especially produce. Considerable Fall shipments of wheat may be expected soon. While this business does not reach the proportions it did a few years ago, when the grain freight differential fa vored San Francisco, yet there Is always a good demand in California for certain grades of Oregon wheat and flour. In ad dition, there Is a good movement of bar ley southward, owing to the shortage In the California crop, and the San Fran cisco market always draws heavily on Portland for onions and potatoes. Taken all in all there Is enough business between the ports throughout the year, especially in the Fail and "Winter months, and Portlanders need not fear that they will be without water connection with San Francisco. As for the plans of the O. R. & N Co., since the officials of the line will not divulge them, shippers will have to waijt for their next move. ThejColum bla is due at San Francisco and the Elder arrived up last night on what may be her last trip for some time to come. THE LUMBER-CARRIERS. Several Additions to the Fleet Now la Port. The coastwise lumber fleet finds plenty of business offering these days. The list of vessels in this trade now in port was" increased yesterday by the arrival of thp steamer Despatch, with a cargo of red wood and tanbark from San Francisco, The schooners Oliver J. OlBen and Fred E. Sander left up rom Astoria yesterday. The former will load here for San Fran cisco and the latter will take her cargo at one of the Columbia River mills. The schooner Lizzie Vanc6, at the North Pa cific Mills, completed her cargo of C30.000 feet, and will sail thij morning for San Francisco. The schooner Mahukona, which crossed in Tuesday en route to Portland, is "under charter to the Pacific Export Lumber Company, to load for IMPROVEMENTS ARRIVE TODAY. Shanghai. The steamer Meteor Is due Monday or Tuesday from iJureka, to com plete her cargo of lumber for Topolo bampo. NEW STEAMER FOR PUGET SOUND. Rehance on Her Way Aroand From, the Columbia River. The steamer Reliance, which has been plying on the Columbia River for a few months past, Is oh her way around to Puget Sound. She was purchased from her Portland owners by O. Moe. the own er Of the Steamer Advn nnr! nn ni two other small craft. The price paid was zi,ux. The Reliance Is a compara tively new boat and Is equipped fore and aft with compouryi engines. She Is 112 feet In length, and Is said to be fashioned considerably after the. Flyer's lines of speed. The Reliance left Astoria for Seattle under tow. She Is equipped with two small water tanks for making the voyage from that point to Seattle under her own steam. The tow will tnke her as far as Port Townsend. when she will then pro ceed to Seattle under her own .steam. The steamer Is thoroughly equipped as a first-class passenger steamer, and the In tention xf her owner now is to place her on the Seattle-Tacoma run. Rate "War on Atlantic Coast. NEW YORK, Sept. 17. Representatives of coastwise lines and their rail connec tions at Virginia and other Atlantic points have, at a meeting here, discussed the rate situation, particularly the cut In rates announced by the Mallory Line, to take effect on the Inauguration of that line's new .service to the West and Southwest, via Mobile, Ala., on Friday of this week. The conference, which lasted several hours, was for the purpose of averting a rate war, but so far aa could be learned, no definite agreement was reached that would even tend to Im prove the situation. Conference of Shipowners. NEW YORK. Sept. 17. A dispatch to the Reuters Telegraph Company from Ostend, Belgium, says the reported conference there September 16 of the managers of the steamship lines plying between Europe and South' America was not convened, and that no shipowners' have arrived at Os tend. A dispatch to the Daily Mall from Hamburg caya there Is the best authority for asserting that the conference will oc cur as soon as outstandlngdlfferences.of opinion have been settled. The Mall correspondent announces the departure of Herr Ballln, generjal director of the Hamburg American Line, for Os--tend. Invermore Is Chartered. The British bark Invermore, 1522 tons, which sailed from Newcastle, N.

The engagement was announced yesterday, but the rate was not divulged. The vessel will load at Seattle or Ta coma, her destination being South Africa. The outlook for shipowners is not bright when vessels will come up in ballast from the nitrate ports to accept business at the present quotations, which are about 26s 3d. Ships Tie Up. for Winter.

County Conrt NWH1 Grant Petitlon-ChapinaB-Btreet Trestle Soon to Be Abandoned. The Portland . Railway Company con templates "extending .Its Portland Heights line from the intersection of Twentieth and Spring streets, which Is a block from its" present terminus, along the Terrace road to the Patton road. The company also Intends, in Uie near future, to climb Portland Heights by a new route, and to abandon the present line and trestle on Chapman street. Thera Is a large cwltlementin the vicin ity of and southerly from the Terrace read and the Patton road, and the peo ple In that neighborhood now have to walk to the present terminus of the line to catch a car.. The extension would greatly accommodate tluse people. Yesterday a petition was presented to the Board of County Commissioners by George P. Lent, O. F. Paxton and F..I. Fuller, general manager of the Portland Railway Company, asking permission to lay a single track on the Terrace road for a distance of half a mile. The pe tition was signed by Y. H. Fear, Mac Master & Blrreli, Mrs. Isabella M. A. Barnes and numerous others who own tracts of land near the proposed new line. A petition was also presented bear ing the signatures of the residents In the vicinity and beyond, approving the use of the Terrace road by the -railway com pany. Judge Webster expressed himself as op posed to granting the use of a county road to a railway company, saying that it practically amounts to abandonment of the road. Messrs. Lent, Paxton and Fuller, In re sponse, explained that the Terrace road is now. little used because there are two other main county roads, one on each side of it, over, which all of the travel passes, and that the Terrace road might have been vacated long ago without par tlcular Injury resulting to anybody. Mr, Fuller said that the road ia a narrow orie. It Is a 40-foot road, but Is only Improved about 1C feet. He eald, owing to the hilly nature of that locality. It lb impossible for the company to ob tain another route. The company would agree to U3e either the outside .or the inside part of the road, and would widen It somewhat- The Commissioners were Invited to go out and view the1 road, so as to be better able to decide the cass. Judge" Webster, while at first disposed to refuse to grant railroad privileges over a county road, finally, upon the representations made that the highway Is little used, and . that all the people In the neighborhood want the line, con ceded that it may be proper to grant the franchise aeked for.

WOODLAND,. Wash., Sept. 14. (To the Editor.) In regard to an Item In The Oregonlan of September 13, which stated on the' authority' of a certain Dr. Shoe maker that the cows around Woodland . have smallpox, that thq scales fc.om. their , teats are dissolved In milk which Is man ufactured Into cheese at the Wofidland co-operative cheese factory, and that the process of, checnamaklng does not destroy the dlsuise germs, I wish to mako the following statement: T ani the manufacturer of the cheese at the Woodland factory and have held that position for the. Inst six years. I am a graduate of Guslph Dairy School, . In -Western Ontario, and can fairly claim -to know something about cows and . milk: on the other hand-lt Is In evldencethat Dr. Shoemaker knows anything whatever about the diseases of cows. Speaking as ; an expert I wish to say that there 13 no cowpox among the cows around Woodland, and that smallpox Is a disease which does nbt Effect cattle. The milk used at this yactOry Is of the highest grade of purltyv and is carefully Inspected every day. and It Js a great and unde served Injury to this community to make public the statement which appeared In The Oregonlan on the authority of an irresponsible person. None of the milk manufactured here Is. or 'ever has been, tainted with smallpox. ' I have never read or heard of cowpox Injuring a cow's milk; It Is an exceed ingly mild disorder, which has no per ceptible lnfluenco on the animal's health and dairymen pay no attention to it. But there 13 no. cowpox among the herds In this vicinity, so this question need not be discussed. s There Is no doubt that the false report published In The Oresonlan originated In mallgnan neighborhood spite, and Its ob ject was to Injure . certain persona con nected with the YvToodland cheese factory. A committee of citizens of Woodland has sent for the state veterinary surgeon to Inspect the cows of this vicinity, and every dairyman near Woodland has made an affidavit that there is no disease in hla herd. The cattle here may be freely in spected by the health officers of Portland at all times, and we submit that they should have made sifch an Inspection be fore quarantining our product's and pub lishing a report slanderous In its nature. Irresponsible In Its origin, and ruinous to the Industry of a prosperous com munity. JOHN BOGART. "D'nrk Thnraday." SALMON CREEK, Wash.. Sept. 17. (To the Editor.) I think the 11th day of Sep tember. 1502. should be known as "Dark Thursday." Here' onSalmon Creek, Clark Countj, Wash,, the sun was In visible all day, and at 3:30 P. M. we had to usa lanterns In the field, hauling grain. At this time the northeast was black as night, while the south and west was red as blood, the whole aspect being weird, like when lights are turned off and red fire is burned on the stage. The light t from lamps and stoves looked green. Ashes were falling liKe snow, among which vere many large partially burned leaves, which had been carried by the cur rents of air. Just before sundown it got lighter, and then darkness closed In. Al together It was the strangest day I ever remember. C. P. ' dcanest home kitchen always open to 58,971 visitors last year.
