The ojd shacks at Nos. 165 and is. xmra siwi. Twnnertv owned by Philo Holbrook. have been torn down Within the past lew days, and the debris Is being cleared away c rapidly as possible. It is understood that the ground has been leased for a term of ton years and that a one-story .iMr iiidlntr. 50 bv 100 feet. Is to be erected thereon, to he -used as a dance hall. It is a pity that a better building for a better purpose could not have been ,nf thownn. This might have Induced the Hay heirs, who own the adjoining quarter block on xmra ana xanumi. iu -.-nninr-P the tumble-down shacks thereon by a decent building fitted for such a good location for business. It Is a pity that In these days when office buildings are so .mivded. and there is such a demand for office room, so many old shacks are allowed to exist In and about the business district. No Elevators in Berlin. A .citizen of Gorman extraction, who visited the City Hall yesterday, took exceptions to an elevator being kept in operation there. He said it was a needless expense, as people have climbed the stairs for years and can do so still. "Why," said he, "In Berlin there are many six and eight-story build ings without elevators, and people trot up and down the stairs without making any fuss about it" A citizen who has visited Berlin says most of the tall buildings there are hotels and the upper stories are inhabited principally by students, who are mostlr young men. The stairs are built on curves and. on easy grades. These facts will not lnduco many Americans to wasta much of 'their lives, which are all too ehort for the work they have to do, in trotting up and down from top to DOtiom of modern skyscrapers. Asks Monet for Charities. Secretary Walnole. of the City Board of Charities, has recovered from an attack of the grip and will start out to secure enough sub scriptions to make up the 50000 desired for the work of the board for this year. He feels confident of accomplishing this within two weeks. Demands on the funds of the board have been heavier than usual during the past month, as there has been more sickness than usual among working- men caused by cold and the grip, owing to the cold snap. Worklngmen who have to quit work at this season often find it difficult to secure employment when well enough to go to work again. Their places have been filled and they have to wait till vacancies occur, and in the meantime their families often have to be assisted. The Grand Armt and other war veter ans are making preparations for a camp fire and a general good time on next Saturday evening, March 7. There will be a bean dinner from 6 P. M. to 8 o'clock and a fine programme following. Tho Woodmen will have one of their teams on work as one of the entertaining fea tures of the evening (all Woodmen par- tlcularly Invited to be present). There will olso be other excellent talent on pro gramme pleasing to all. Invitation ex tended to everybody. A small admission of IS cents to aid the Soldiers' Monument fund of Lone Fir cemetery.

Nye, of the Hoffman Cafe, of this city, says he Is not mixed up In the case of George F. Snyder and wife, who were arrested in Denver Monday, and who" were alleged to have been compelled to disgorge diamonds that Nye had given the woman. Mr. Nye said that when he read the dispatch pub lished in the papers, he began an invest! gation and learned that a man named J. Monroe Nye was In the case in some way. J, Monro Nyo is supposed to live In Seattle, and is said to be tho husband of the alleged Mrs. Snyder. Sewer Nearlt Coht-letkd.

Steelhead fishing In the lower river was closed down March 1 after a very successful season and ready sale for the fish at o cents per norma. Chris Hpnrv. Martin StanJech and several other of the gillnetters who have been fishing for steelheads since DecemDer last arrived here yesterday and banked their piles preparatory to naving a snorc holiday and then getting seining outfits rpnow for the Sorinc fishing, which begins April 15. Until this time the noble chlnook are supposed to oe leu unmoiesieu to find their way to tne spawning poois of the Clackamas and other streams. It Is reported here that tons of theso fish have been caught lately at Oregon City where their Journey is blocked by tne falls, and that so many are working their way up the Clackamas that preparations are being made by gillnetters for fishing that stream, and that the fish will soon be coming Into the markets here con cealed in covered wagons. The canners say this should not be allowed, and proo ably the Fish Warden will do all in his power to prevent lt.-but It is very ainicun on such a long stretch of river to prevent some lawless fellows from dropping down reaches at night with glllnets wnicn raxe the bottom and clear the river of fish. Hence the necessity for maintaining salmon hatcheries. Oommekt ok the Fine Among the crowd which stood on Third street, op noslte the Dekum building much of the day yesterday viewing the ravages of the fire there the night before, were seen from time to time many of the occupants of the rooms burned ouL A number of these had lost all their papers and Implements. Just before noon Councilman Rumelln came along smiling. He said: '"We are all right. The safe has been opened and tne con tents are all Intact. Our records were burned, which we consider a loss to us of about $1000. though of course no one else would srive that much for them.' E. V. Moore, whose photograph gallery was cleaned out. said: "Wen, l am tnanmui that I am able to go into' business again. if I can get a location- That Is what La troubling me now. ' Several otners saia: "Oh, wo had Insurance enougn. to cover what we lost, but our loss will be from interruption of business, and I do not know where to find another location. everything is full." Many expressed sor row for the Misses Shogren, in whose dressmaking establishment on the seventh floor the fire started, and who are both East after new stock. When the East Wind Blows. Previous to the great fire in the Dekum building esterday morning the fire department naa not been called upon for any great exer tions for some time. A few still alarms from burning flues were about all there was to attend to for a week or more. These were attributed to the east wind. No one ever has a good word to say for an east wind and all sorts of evils are attributed to it "It is always a cold, dry wind." said a fireman, "and the way flues take to burning out when the east wind blows beats the band. Other winds may blow as hard as they please without causing flues to burn out Probably the east wind being generally a cold one causes more and larger fires to be built than others, and in many flues not com monly used, and this may account for the unusual number burning out when the east wind blows." At all events the east wind has a bad reputation and anything mean may be said of it Want Grade Cut Down. Property- owners on Washington street in the vl clnlty of the highest point of the grade, a little east of Twenty-third street, are desirous of having the elevation of this summit reduced- The City Engineer has been figuring on the matter. Some would like to have the grade raised at Twenty third street but this Is not considered de sirable, as itwould make It necessary to raise the grade for some distance down Twenty-third street and on considerable property about the Junction of that street with Washington. It Is probable that the desired object will be accomplished by making a vertical curve at the summit. which will cut down the apex from a foot to two feet and will make the ascent easier. The matter is not yet decided on. To Hep air Twentieth Street. The City Engineer has finished his survey of Twentieth street from Washington to Savler and finds that it will not take a great amount of work to get the street in first-class condition. Nearly all the macadam on the street is in good shape. and. only needs a few loads of crushed rock here and there to fill the ruts. All old wood sidewalks will be replaced with cement and a good lot of cement curbs will be put in owing to the fact that there are already many feet of cement walks on the street only about 2300 feet will be put down, or about ten blocks. Civil Service Examinations. The United States Civil Service Commission announces that on March 24 an examlna tlon will be held in this city for the po sltlon of laboratory assistant Certlflca' tions from this examination will be made to fill this position In the Bureau of Soils, Department of Agriculture, at a salary ranging from 5S40 to $1200 per annum.

Llenluken was in the employ of Brown Bros., of Minneapolis, as book keeper until August 1 of last year, -when he disappeared and at the same time 51200 belonging to the firm. The case was turned over to the Plnkerton Detective Agency and the man soon traced to Port land. Awnino in a Blaze. The. awning In front of Mace's market on Fourth street near Morrison, was set on fire yesterday morning by sparks blown from the fire in the upper part of the Dekum building. Fortunately some of the employes and Mr. Mace had heard the alarm and had come down to the market They tore the awning, down before it had time to set the building on fire. Oriental Bazaar. A.

O.. says: "We uoed to analyze cof fee at the Medical College and In spite of our laboratory tests, which showed It to contain caffine, an active poison. continued to use the drink, and later on found myself affected with serious sto mach trouble, indigestion, headaches, etc. "The headaches came on so regularly and oppressed me so that I found It difficult to attend to my regular duties. One day last November I met a friend whom I had known to bo similarly afflicted. His marked Improvement in appearance caused me to inquire what he had been doing. He announced that he had, some time ago, quit coffee and was using Postum Food Coffee, to this change he at tributed the change in his health. "I took the- hint even from a layman. and made the same change myself. The first week I noticed a little difference, but not much. The third week the change was almost magical. I hare continued with the Postum and now my digestion Is perfect the nervous headaches have en tlrely disappeared, and I am well. My own analysis of the Postum Food Coffee shows it to be a pure food drink of strong character, which is a marked contrast the old-fashioned coffee." Name given by Postum Company, Battle Creek; .Mien. Cleaning Grooves or Street-car ' Track. During the Winter the manage ment of the Portland Railway company has been having a hard time keeping- the groove la the rails on Washington street free from obstructions. The street west Sixteenth Is not paved yet and the dust occasioned by the recent dry weather locates Itself in the groove, with the re sult that the wheels of the cars are some times thrown from the track. Several methods of sweeping were resorted to, but to no avail, and it was thought that would have to be given up as a bad Job until some shrewd person hit upon the idea of sluicing the grooves out witn water. As the track is down hill from St Clair street all the company has to do is to put a man at the upper end with a garden hose connected to a nearby faucet. and turn the water on the rails. rine groove retains the water for many blocks, and It runs along with speed enough to carry off all dust and dirt from the tracks. No New Sidewalks Without Permits, Now that the wheels of the city govern ment are running smoothly under the new charter, no excuse will be accepted by the City Engineer from property-owners lor not complying with the ordinances for bidding the laying of sidewalks without permits. Persons inside the city limits found tinkering with their sidewalks with out first having secured a permit from the authorities in compliance with the regu lations of ordinance 12.S61 will be sub jected to a fine ranging from 550 to $300. The City Engineer wants this thoroughly understood, and violations will be immed iately followed by arrests. Owing to fire in the Dekum building my dressmaking ' establishment will be closed for a few days until suitable quar ters can be secured. For orders or In formation 'phone Grant 169L Max. Drs.

"Lovers' Lane," which Is, by the way. one of the most charming plays of its kind on the American stage today, will be on the Marquam boards this afternoon In a popular-priced matinee adults 50 cents and children 23 cents. "Lover's Lane" might be called a play something on the lines of " 'Way Down East" or others of that nature, with some of the country pumpkins left out Owing to the fact that there are 20 school children In the cast the little ones will derlvo great enjoyment from the play, and the mat inee will no doubt prove a treat for them and the grown-up folks as well.

A broad CTin still remains on the faces of those who were fortunate enough to witness the production of "Because She Loved Him So," at the Baker Theater. This play Is so true to nature, yet so humorous, that It Is sure to proauce lauchter. Last Tilght the Baker Theater was crowded with an appreciative audi ence. From the beginning of the first act which commences with a quarrel between the young married couple, to the- end of the last act when all is quiet again, one is kent in a state of laughter. "Because Sho Loved Him So" Is not a senseless, plotless farce, but Is a comedy with a fine plot and amusing situations. "Captain Stvirt" Xext Weelc."

Johnson from Tenth to Fourteenth Hoyt from Ninth to Fourteenth, Four teenth from Savler to Front end iaeventn from Everett to Northrup. These streets have been hanging fire for some time. owing to the fact that the City Engineer's office has been rushed with work, but they have at last been estimated and the time for protest has expired, so the time and manner ordinances will be passed this afternoon. The streets all call for mac ad am Improvement, with sidewalks. Next AVeelc at Cordray's.

Governor Dole Recommends Diverse Farming: Japanese Are Lenvinpr. HONOLULU, Feb. 21, via San Francisco, March 3: (Correspondence of the Asso elated Press.) Governor Dole's message to the Legislature was read In both bouses on the 20th Inst It refers to the unprosperous times among sugar men dur ing the past year as emphasizing the need for giving special attention to securing a diversity of industries and encouraging small farmers.

The suggestion has been made here that the claims of British subjects against the Hawaiian Government on account of the alleged illegal imprisonment of them dur ing the Hawaiian revolution might be re ferred to The Hague tribunal. The claims have been the subject of continuous ne gotiations since the revolutions of 1S93 and 1S91, and in his message to the Leglsla ture Governor Dole proposed that a com mission be provided to assist them.

A steady gain is shown in the exports for 11 months of 1902, as compared with the figures for each of the two preceding years. The total value of this trade dur ing the last-calendar year period amount ed to 525,567,297.
