1$ THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 6, '1902. SOLONS WILL MEET Multnomah Delegation As sembles Tomorrow. WILL DISCUSS LEGISLATION Many Important Measures Are to Be Considered "What About Levrls and Clarlc Fair J? Taxpay ers' League Bills. Members of the Multnomah Legislative delegation -will meet tomorrow night In the Chamber of Commerce building. The gentlemen have been sidling around on the subject for two weeks past to find out tne opinions of one another. They learn that they are of one and the same mind. The whisper that has been going about among the solons became no audible yes terday that it reached the ears of the gen eral public The gentlemen wish to get their heads together to talk about local legislation. The meeting tomorrow night will be in the nature of a "social function" in order that they msy get acquainted with each other, catch the drift of one another's mental currents and study the common sentiment about what new, laws and what changes in old laws are needed for Mult nomah County. One of the proposed measures will be to amend the primary election law cso that the polls will be kept open later in the evening for the benefit of workingmen. Amendments to the tax law will probably be discussed. The Lewis and Clark Fair will contribute to the discourse of the lawmakers. The so lons will also lend attention to the bills proposed by the Taxpayers' League, but as only the outline of these measures has been given out, the lawmakers will lend their minds simply to the general pur poses of the bills. These bills pertain chiefly to county administration of Mult nomah. All these subjects will be treated in a merely conversational way Friday night. The gentlemen will get immersed in their work when they have sounded one another'? notions. Plenty of bilte are In embryo. During the next two months of their gestation, until the Legislature meets, these meas ures will assume definite shape. It's a rare solon that doesn't have several bills in his head. But the gentlemen are dis posed to guard their ideas carefully. They wish to find out how their colleagueis view the ideas which they are cultivating before they subject the delicate organ Isms to the nipping frost of criticism. The delegation of two years ago evi dently set a precedent for future Legis lative delegations In Multnomah County. It had disposed of a large amount ot work by this time of the year. Multnomah County has 20 representa tives in the Legislature, all of them Re publicans except one. Senator Alex Sweek. The delegation promises to be one o! the most harmonious that . this county has ever sent to Salem. This assurance bodes well for the measures that will emanate from Multnomah, for It makes certain a united front for the bills that shall be stamped with the approval of the delegation. Tne lawmakers from Mult nomah arc: Senators A. C. Smith. F. P. Mays, James E. Hunt, Alex Sweek. George T. Myere, Henry E. McGinn, Herbert Hol man. Representatives; A. A. "Bailey, TV. W. Banks. S. B. Cobb, "H. J. Fislier, John Gill. C. "W. Hodson. W. R. Hudson, J. S. Hutchinson. "W. N. Jones. Dan J. Malar key, George M. Orton, Sanderson Reed, Charles W. Nottingham. "GREAT SONG-WRITERS." Entertaining Programme Is Given nt First CoiiKre?nttonnl Chnrcli. "The Great Song-Writers" was the sub ject of a most delightful programme given yesterday afternoon at the meet ing of the Ladles Aid Society of the First Congregational Church. Mrs. Warren E. Thomas, who is one of the most accom plished pianists In Portland, read a paper which showed her to be the possessor of much musical lore. The paper was Il lustrated by songs of Mendelssohn, Schu bert, Franz and Schumann, by Paul Wes slnger, Mrs. May De"arborne "Schwab and Mrs. Will Bushong, to all of which Mrs. Thomas played exquisitely sympathetic accompaniments. Mrs. Thomas opened her address with a Quotation from Wagner:-' "The human Voice is really the foundation of all mu sic, and whatever the development of the cxt, whatever the boldest combinations of Ti. composer, or the most brilliant execu tion of a virtuoso. In the end they must Always return to the standard set by vo cal music." "And so It Is," said Mrs". Thomas, "for the earliest manifestation of music was the song. The impulse to express emo tion vocally is universal. All down the ages and throughout all the world, women have crooned lullabys to their babes, and men have given vocal expression to their emotional excitement. "The feeling for rhythm is also universal, as shown by the savage war dance. Out of this feeling for rhythm and melody grew both lyric poetry and the music to which it was'sung. But music is not an art which lends Itself to the historian, as does painting and sculpture, and but little of the early progress of the art was written, and of that little still less has come down to us, but from the earliest period of which we have authentic rec ord, there were two styles of music the ecclesiastic, in which Held It was given to Gregory to plant and to Palestrlna and Bach to reap, and the secular song or music of the people, whtch wo call the folk song. "The folk song of .the 14th-century Provence peasants -was characterized by such "purity and charm that it attracted the nobles of Southeastern France, to whom belongs the honor of having been the pioneers of courtly song. From the South of France to Normandy, thence to England and to Flanders, the form of art spread, and from Italy it penetrated to Germany, until the power of song thus exercised its beneficent and humanizing influence over all Christendom. "We know the effect that historic events have had on song. From war comes the song of victory; from political struggles, the song of satire; from re ligious reformation, majestic "hymns; from revolution, songs of liberty; from the age of chivalry, songs of love; but It would be Interesting to trace the effect of son,g on the world's great movements, and hero Is a fertile field for the speculative historian. "In Germany the tone poets made such strides in musical art that it was soon in advance of poetry. Every change in church music was reflected in tonal art. Handel introduced a new form, though keeping the name oratorio. Gluck resus citated the. Greek drama. To Hayden we owe the symphony and chamber music; Mozart ranges at will betwixt the tragic and the comic, and has been called the "Shakespeare of Music"; Beethoven unit ed the most exalted styles and the grand est and most skillful masters of art form. "Hayden treated, the song from the In strumental point of view. Schneider says he treats the vocal melody as a piano forte motif, undes which he places words which only superficially agree with the melody. "Mozart's versatility is shown in his songs; some are arias, some lleder, some lyrical, some dramatic, yet In all he did not imprests his individuality on his song. Beethoven's earlier songs resemble Schilz. His' best-known and most beau- tlful Is "Adelaide," but his lyric genius, arose to greatest heights In his instru mental works." After some briefout Interesting sketches of other great composers, Mrs. Thomas said in conclusion: "In art, as in nature, a thousand Influences are working, to gether for good, but, whatever may be 'In store for art of the coming epoch, that which was good and true In older dis pensations will not be suffered to pass away, for the good and the true and tha beautiful lir art are Immortal." In the Mendelssohn duets, sung by Mrs. Schwab and Mrs. Bushong, the two voices blended beautifully. Their numbers were "Greeting" and "Autumn Song." Mr. Wesslnger sang "Fruhlngslaube," "Die Forelle" (Schubert), "Mondnacht" and "The Two Grenadiers" (Schumann), and "Es hat die Rose Slch Beklagt" and "Genesung" (Franz). Mr. "Wesslnger's German Is of the purest quality, and this, with his fine baritone voice and artistic Interpretation, makes his siriglng of Ger man songs most delightful. $ The ladles of the society served cofljee and cake at the close of the programme. TALKED ON OREGON BIRDS John Burroughs Society Holds an Interesting- Session. A delightfully entertaining bird talk was given to the members of the John Bur roughs Club in the City Hall Tuesday evening by W. F. McKIbben. who has for many years been a close observer of Ore gon birds. Mr. McKIbben called atten tion to certain points of similarity be tween birds and men, dwelling upon the training or education of the young bird lines by their wise paoas and mammas, for many of the birds soon after they are out of the nest begin to learn a trade. Thus we find weavers, tailors, masons, molders, carpenters, felters, etc., among the birds, as In the more highly organized but not more wonderful social systems common to mankind. The weaver bird of South Africa constructs a kind of um-brella-Uke- rocf, under which 800 or 1000 nests have been found, like the cells of a honeycomb, arranged with wonderful reg ularity, each nest a marvel of skillful workmanship. Or, to cite an example, nearer home, the common woodpecker, as he drills his way Into the thick bark of one of our Oregon trees, may be likened to the mason, for there Is a curious re semblance between the woodpecker's bill a curious combination of drill and pickax and the mason's tool3. A thoughtful article from the Review of Reviews on American nature-lovers, John Burroughs and his school, was read by the club president, Mr. Clarence Gil bert, and gave rise to considerable discus sion. This was followed by the announcement of a loan of three very beautiful bird pictures, life-size photographs, taken bv II. T. Bohlman, a club member. The pic tures may be seen at any time on the walls of the clubrooms. They are very artistically framed in rough flr wood taken from an old grain chute, the grooves .rsade by the grain falling over the wood adding a peculiarly rich and ornamental effect. The wood Is stained black, to harmonize with the darker tones In the pictures. The six newly fledged kingfishers In a row, hungry, surprised and belligerent, are as humorous and effective as any photograph that has ever been made of Oregon birds. There Is also a group of young bushtus, and another charming photograph of the nest and eggs of the, black-headed gros beak, all life-size. ' " At the next meeting of the John Bur roughs Club, a week, from next Tuesday night, a talk w."J be given to the club-by Martin V. Gorman, who has but recently returned from parts of Alaska where the foot of man had never before trodden. This will be a treat that none can afford to miss, and all bird-lovers are cordially invited to be present. There will also be an Informal discussion of the differences Getween Eastern and "Western birds of closely related species, with a special de sire to settle the vexed question as to whether Pacific Coast birds have longer tails than their relatives in the East, and if so, why. FOR LAMP AND BELL. "Wheelman SnpRetn Pedestrians Are Xot Getting Their RlfrlitH. PORTLAND, Nov. 4. (To the Editor.) Now that we have a Mayor who be lieves in carrying out the law without fear or favor, might I suggest to His Honor that it would greatly conduce to the' safety and comfort of a great many pedestrians and also decent wheelmen If he could Induce the police to enforce the city ordinance and state law requiring all bicycles to" carry a light at night? It certainly seems reasonable that so long as the wheelmen have the privilege of riding on the sidewalks they ought to be willing to obey a law so necessary for the safety of others. I ride myself on the sidewalks in Winter and fully ap preciate the privilege of doing so, but I am In constant danger from these law less riders popping around corners with out a light or signal, and If It is so with a wheelmifti, what must It be for a pedes-, trlan, who has to jump first one way, then another, as a wheelman flashes past him without even a bell, though he may condescend to whistle at him from the darkness as he would' to a dog? Some say that it Is an attempt to enrich the dealer, but It seems to me that as they probably save ?2 or $3 a month by be ing allowed, to ride on the sidewalks and can afford to buy coaster-brakes and all the latest fads. It would hardly break them to Invest 50 cents In a lamp or 10 cents in a bell. All decent wheelmen as we.l as the pedestrians would hail the enforcement of the law as a blessing. . WHEELMAN. A GREAT SALE OF Socks nmlflL'ntlerivenr nt the Woolen Mill Store. 4 The cold weather and the very low prices on pure wool goods Is bringing hun dreds of customers to the Brownsville Woolen Mill Store, on Washington street, near Second. A few prices are: 25 cents for 2 pair wool socks. 25 cents for regular 50-cent socks. 75 cents for all $1 00 underwear. 95 cents for regular ?1 DO underwear. $3 00 for -blankets sold at $4 50. $3 50 for blankets sold at $5 00. $12 50 for fine hand-tailored overcoats. 515 00 for the best made overcoats. This Is a Woolen Mill Store, where all the goods .made by the famous Browns ville Woolen Mills are on sale at about one-half what regular retail stores ask for the same gdods. Chin On Allowed to Stay. Chin On, the Chinaman who was ar rested some time ago, charged with hav ing illegally entered the United States, was discharged yesterday by United States Commissioner Sladen, as there was not sufficient evidence to cause an order for deportation. PROVI3D HE WAS SOBER. A Fact Which Will Have Good Bcar ' ingr in Man's Case. In the case of the man whose future is almost hopeless, unless he can prove that he will quit the liquor habit, there is one point In nls favor in the fact that "Cupl dene" Is one of the createst remedies as a cure for the liquor and tobacco habits. "Cupldene" has the power of cleansing and reconstructing "the deranged system. "Cupidene" operates by restoring the shat tered nerves to that equilibrium that "bal ances the mental, nervous and physical powers, thus restoring the will-power and the composure of the patient. "Cupl dene" Is sold at ?1 per box, or six for $5. at S. G. Skldmore & Co.'s, Portland, Or. We pay postage when sending by mail. POPULAR POTTER IK SERVICE.

CITIZENS MAKE 'COMPLAINTS East Side, Alblna and South Portland Residents Arc Greatly Inconven ienced by the Barricading of Street Rondvrays. A general call for action In the matter of the Portland bridges and elevated road wayB,ls sounded by the citizens, but there seems to be none who will outline a plan of action that will accomplish the ends that are called for. Deplorable conditions are told of by the residents of the various sections, and there Is no end to the tales of Inconvenience and hardships and loss of business on account of the people of the suburbs being cut off from the city, and the fears entertained by parents as they start their children to school lest they shall fall through some rickety -bridge. There are many people south of the South Portland gulches, yet there Is but one bridge that can be, crossed In safety that of the railway company. In Alblna the condition, is even worse. and it is said that there is but one way that team3 can go and come from the lower part, and that Is by way of the ferry. In East Portland so many streets are closed that practically all of the travel Is thrown onto the East Morrison roadway, which Itself Is unsafe. In places the decking has broken through. Over the holes are nailed large pieces of slabwood or some" ungainly piece of timber, over which the loaded wagons can bounce, coming down with a bump and breaking through the boards to which they arc nailed. In other parts of the city conditions are equally bad, and the estimate of the City En gineer that 15,350 feet of the roadways are closed to the public shows the great extent of the trouble. Question Should Be Met, but Hoiv? That the condition should be remedied nt once all agree, but as to how It Is to be done there Is a difference of opinion, and there are many to find fault with every plan that Is suggested. "There should be- a small appropriation to fortify the bridges, so that -they can be used until the new charter has come Into effect," said Judge J. F. Caples, of the South Portland Improvement Asso ciation, and then there will be a way provided to raise money to repair them permanently." To this, however, the members ol the Council answer that they have less than $2000 on hand which could be used for the purpose, and this amount they say will go but a very short way toward putting the bridges In repair. "If there Is no other way to accomplish it," says another, "there should be a pub lic subscription taken. The business in terests of the city are. suffering as a con sequence of the bad condition of the streets, and It would be a paying invest ment for the business men to give the money from their own pockets." When this Is suggested to others, how ever, they promptly reply that an at tempt has been made to make the property-owners repair the streets, but that the court has ruled that they cannot be compelled to do a larger amount of work than the value of the property, and the attempt has failed. "If the property owners do not take enough pride In their streets to keep them passable," they say, "there would be but little success in tak ing a subscription." "I would hate to be the man to try to raise enough money to" repair one of the bridges," said a public-spirited man yes terday, who was discussing the situation. The strong sentiment expressed by the citizens seems to Indicate that something will have to be done, but the way that the Council Is bound down in these mat ters by the present charter seems to make it Impossible for them to do any thing at present. Immediate relief will probably have to come from some other source. The situation was well expressed yesterday by a member of the Council, who said: "If i the friends of the new charter suc ceed In getting It passed, it will not be long until we are In a condition to repair the streets, but If its enemies succeed In defeating it Portland will be worse tied up in a year than it Is now. Immediate relief will have to come from some. other source than the Council." South Portland Is Cut Off. Judge J. F. Caples, who Is president of the South Portland Improvement Asso ciation, said: "I am of the opinion that the gulches should be filled In and a roadway made across them that will be permanent, but something should be done at once to re lieve the condition. It seems that but little money can be had for this purpose until after the new charter has gone Into effect, but It Is not right that the people of South Portland should have to tolerate such conditions as now exist until that time. They are absolutely suffering for means of communication with the rest of the city. There Is much business lost on account of the bridges. People are really afraid to cross them, and so stay at home. The railway bridge is the only one that can be used with any degree of safety. Most of the bridges, I think, could be made passable with but a slight expense, and the Council should make an appropriation of an amount that will put them In shape to receive the travel un til they can be repaired permanently." One Way to East Side That Unanle. "EaBt Belmont street Is blockaded," said W. D. Fenton, president of the East Side Improvement Association, "and that leaves East Morrison to bear all of the traffic. The decking of the roadway there Is so worn out as to make It dangerous. When the holes are tepalred there are large pieces of slabwood nailed over them, which serve to give a greater strain to the rest of the bridge as the wagons bump over them. The Council has voted money for temporary repairs on the Mor rison roadway. It would be better If these bridges could be permanently repaired at once, but I suppose that! this cannot be done until the new charter has come Into effect. The Just way would be for the property-owners to pay a part and the city to pay a part where the street Is a much-used thoroughfare, and if the property-owners want a street where there Is but little travel they should pay for it. ! It seems that. there should be a way to get money for more extensive repairs. Take part of the license fund, or, if it is necessary, raise the license and use the money for repairing bridges." Alblnn's Hard-Luclc Story. The condition In Alblna Is told by Sam j uel ConnelJ, president of the Alblna Im provement Association, as follows: "The Goldsmith-street bridge Is block aded, and the people have to transfer across It on foot,. Oftentimes it Is muddy, and this Is a disagreeable thing to do. A very bad Impression is made upon vis itors who have to walk across this bridge In the mud and rain. There Is but one way that a team can get out of Alblna, and that Is by crossing the ferry. If we want to take a load from here to East Portland we have either to go' a long dis tance up Russell Etreet, or cross the river, go through the city, and back across one of the bridges. My house Is but three or four blocks from the mill, yet to get a load of wood I have to take it across, the ferry, through the city, and back across the steel bridge. It takes at least four team now to do what one ought to do. I have not looked into the matter closely enough to say how the remedy should be applied, but there will have to be an Improvement. People come here and they are well pleased with the climate and business prospects of the city, but will not stay on account of the condition of the streets. I know of a man who came Here with the Intention of locating, but after seeing in a resi dence community several places where there were a large number of boards off the sidewalk, thought the place did not suit him, and went on to California. There has been a great improvement here dnce the movement of putting down ce ment walks has started, but a great deal more will have to be done before we can consider that we hae an up-to-date city'." Sounds Bad for Portland. G. Yi Harry, president of the State Fed eration of Labor, who has Just returned from a tour of the eastern part of the state, says that he has frequently heard the matter commented upon during his trip. met a man on the train," said ho, "who was coming West to locate, and wished to , take a look at Portland, I told him that there waa a number of advantages here, spoke of the schools and other good things, but I could not offer to show him about the city, for when we would come to one of the closed bridges, of which there are so many, what excuse could I make for such a condition? There Is absolutely no excuse for a city of this size and pretensions to have such streets. "The matter should be remedied at once, and there is no use waiting for the new charter. It Is a business proposition, and one that It would pay the business or ganizations to take up. Portland is suf fering much damage on this account, and if It Is not possible for the Council to do anything, a public subscription should be taken. It would be a paying Investment for the citizens to give money for this purpose." UNCONSCIOUS THREE DAYS Jacob Jones Falls From Barn and Sustains Serious Injuries. Injuries , which may prove fatal were sustained by Jacob Jones, of Clifton, who fell from a barn last 'Monday and has remained In a state of unconsciousness ever since. He was brought to St. Vincent's Hospital last night, where he received the first medlcaT-attentlon since his fall. There seems to be no Injury to the skull, and his condition Is prob ably duetto a concussion of the brain. His case Is a very peculiar one and the long tlmo that he has been left uncon scious and still keeps breathing Is re markable. While working on a barn near Carson, Monday, he slipped from a tim ber and fell, striking his head. He was rendered unconscious, but as there seemed to be no other Injuries It was thought that he was but stunned and would soon revive. Time passed, he showed every sign of life, and his friends were eagerly waiting for the time when he would come out of his stupor. A day passed, and still another, but he still seemed as far from recovery as at the time of the. Injury. Becoming alarmed, they took him on the third day .to the hospital. The doctors could not say last night just what the patient's chances of recovery were, but stated that it was probable that he had concussion of the brain. TREATMENT FOR THE POOR Much Suffering Relieved by Out Pntlent Department of Hospital. Much interest is being centered In the out-patient department at St. Vincent's Jlospital, where wdrthy poor may re ceive free treatment on Tuesdays, Thurs days and Saturdays at 1 o'clock. Many patients come In who have been suffer ing for years because they were too poor to have the necessary medical attention. The founders of the movement express themselves as well pleased with the re sult of their venture, and say that the department is doing a large amount of good and is relieving many worthy people from unnecessary suffering. "There are a large number of people," said one of the doctors yesterday, "who really need medical attention and know that they do, but they are not able to pay out the money, or If they are they will let It go rather than to pay out the money. This department treats all free who are able to come here and go away, and there are sqme very interesting cases found. A number of the leading physi cians of the city are at the bottom of the movement and the attention that the pa tient receives is as good as If he paid a large price for It." DREDGE BILLS AUDITED. Port of Portland Commission Winds Up Its Accounts. The Port of Portland Commission dis posed of the remaining bills on account of the new dredge yesterday afternoon and then went Into executive session, -.ue reports of J. B. C. Lockwood, the superin tendent of the new dredge Columbia, were read, and Mr. Lockwood having straight ened up his accounts with the commis sion, bade farewell to those assembled, as he left for his home In Seattle last night. Though several of the contractors whose bills were presented had not finished their work by the required time, yet the com mission decided not to penalize any one. The bill of Joseph Paquet for $90 for hatches placed in the pontoons built by him was not allowed. Many other bills and several reports from Superintendent Lockwood were read, and both that gen tleman and the Commlsioner3 expressed themselves as well pleased with the work manship on the dredge. The commission passed vote of thanks to Mr. Lockwood for his efficient service In the construction of the dredge, and that gentleman, In re ply, made a few complimentary remarks about the commission.

' General .Manager Joseph McCabe. of the FOOD CHANGES PEOPLE. Both Adults and Babies. Babies can eat and thrive on the same kind of food that their elders do, when that food happens to be Grape-Nuts. "Our little baby girl had spasms' writes Mrs. Geo. B. Noble, of West Union, la., "caused, the physician said, by Improper food. He advised a diet of milk, but she did not gain In either health, weight or brightness, and we had to continually use physic. "We were simply wild, hopeless and miserable over our little one. For a' long time I had been reading of Grape-Nuts, and perhaps by Inspiration I bought a package and began feeding them to her. After the second meal, we used no more physic, and have never used any since. It was wonderful to see her Improve. Her weight was 17 pounds at 2 years; now it Is 27 pounds at 2 years and 4 months. The doctor had fear for her brain, the spasms having come from her spine, but the continued usc-of Grape-Njuts has made her perfectly well, and there Is not a brighter child In the State today than our little girl. "Every body remarks about her beauti ful complexion and her bright, witty speeches. "We are never now without Grape-Nuts, and often think of the awful period when we were In such desperate straits.
