The maple shade trees along the streets i are green with a profusion of their blos soms; magnolia trees are nearly to lull bloom and flowers and flowering shrubs ol many kinds are at their best. In flower gardens all about town women are seen dally examining the ground anxious to aee if It is dry enough to be spaded up without all going to clod. A ttw days more of sunshiny weather will put the ground in a fit condition for being culti vated, but there la nothing to be gained by spading It up -when It Is too wet. Plata of rosebushes are looking fine and mak ing a thrifty growth of young shoots, but are hardly beginning to develop buds as vet. "Roses bloom In Summer only," and It will be some time yet before Summer arrives, Prospects are favorable for more roses and finer ones, and of more choice varieties being produced here this Sum mer than ever before. How the Citt Grows. There are many rlat of additions to the city being filed for record these days, and one man In the City Surveyor's office Is kept busy a good deal of the time copying them. Then they are enlarged and blue prints made, which are bound la books and used In extending the map of the 'city. The original plat of Portland was filed by Lownsdale and Chapman 60 years ago last December. Since -then about 703 plats of additions have been filed, and the good work is still going on, apparently faster man ever, and the citv keena extending In all direc tions. Many hope to aee the boundaries reach St Johns, the Columbia Blver. Gresham. Oregon City, HlUsboro and other places, which they may If they live long enough. By that time it will re quire a building as big as the City Ball to bold the plats. Basxbau. Today, 130. Baeebau. Todat, 3:30. Basebaxx. Todat, 330. BaEBAT.T. TODAT. 330. Basebau, Todat, 330.

Tbe exca vation for the foundations of the three- story brick building to be erected by J. W. & V. Cook at the corner of First and Oak streets. Is nearly completed, and they hoDs to be able to proceed with (he recllnn- o the -building at once. It -Is already leased, mostly to the tenants wno occupied the old buildings on the lot, which were torn down. The first story of J. W. Cook's building on First, near the corner of Pine, la almost completed and the carpenter work Is nearly done, so that the bricklayers can soon go ahead with the second story. The heavy girders to support the upper stories of the front are ready to be hoisted Into position and Mr. Cook hopes soon to see the walla of the second etory progressing rapidly. First Shad CoiiE-The first Columbia River shad of the season arrived here Wednesday evening from tbe lower Co lumbia. There were only six of them, and they were caught in some trap or small-meshed gill net, with probably the first legally caught salmon of the season. Shad have Increased wonderfully since tbey were planted In the Columbia and have grown In favor of late years, not withstanding their numerous small bones. which prejudiced people used to Salmon against them at first, Tbey are a very sweet and delicate fish, not so rich and .oily as the salmon and as a very large number of them are caught and sold -yearly, they are a valuable addition to tbe food product of the Columbia. He Holds Up TVojien. A cowardly highwayman, carrying a revolver, and with his face covered with a white hand kerchief, held up Eva Follett. of Eighth street, near Fremont, last night about 4:33 o'clock, but got nothing for hie trouble. He walked up to her In the darkness, displayed bis revolver, and searched one of the pockets In her Jacket, but finding nothing In It gave up the attempt and walked off. He probably knew better than to search for any pock ets In a woman's dress. Tbe police were notified by telephone, but no trace of the robber was found. First Strawberries Cove. "With a lot of vegetables which arrived from Cali fornia yesterday, .came a small shipment of strawberries, the first of the season, from Los Angeles in a refrigerator pack age. They were very nice ones and In good condition and went off like hot cakes at 35 cents per pound. A few weeks hence there will be plenty of nice, fresh Oregon strawberries at 6 cents a pound and people will be wanting them for less. Win. ex-police offlcers. who have served In the Police Department since It has been a uniform force, who have police buttons In their possession, return them to Police Headquarters? There must be quite a number scattered about this city. It Is Important that a sufficient number be collected to be reflated In order to furnish Summer uniforms with buttons. Charles, H. Hunt.

City Physi cian Zan, Health Commissioner Blersdorff and Dr. Slocum were busy again yester day mating physical examinations oi ap plicants for positions on the police force. They started out with the Idea of dis posing of ten each, dally, but- have t alien short a little. It is not known exactly how many persons want positions on the police force, but in two daya Dr. Zan has examined 18. and has a list of some 15 more on hand. Dr. Slocum has exam ined about the same number and Dr. Blersdorf not quite so many. They say the applicants generally -are "pretty lair risks" physically. Each applicant exam ined is given a statement of his condition, and these will be submitted to the com mlirioners. who will compare them and select the men they deem fittest. Police men who cannot sprint HU yards in la seconds are not likely to receive much consideration at the hands of Mayor Williams, as he says be can do that stunt himself. When asked by the elevator man In tbe City Hall if be thought he could cover that distance in that time he said he would bet 3100 that he could. This, however, is not to be taken as a chal lenge. Good Fibhino bt Sundat. Sportsmen are looking forward to enjoying good trout fishing next Sunday, It the weather continues favorable. By that time the trout will be in humor for taking a fly. William Bargar says that on April 1 he caught a string of IS as fine trout as any one could wish to see in Johnson Creek, and that 13 of these, ranging from ten to lfii Inches in length, were taken with a small fiy. John Williams. William Friedlander and Dr. Klelsor report catch ing 115 mountain trout In Skamokawa Creek, and nine fine salmon trout In tbe river at the mouth of the creek in one day, and Felix Friedlander beat them all by catching GO nice mountain trout at Scappoose. Two fishermen, who spent two days on McKay Creek. Washington County, caught only seven trout. Parties who use salmon roe for bait should re member that cats are fond of this and when they go to call at farmhouses should not leave their rods and lines standing outside with roe on the hook. When a cat gets hooked and runs under a house it Is difficult to pull her out with the book. Those who have tried this once never wish to repeat the experience. Cactus Finds a Hove. The huge cactua in the city museum has been planted In a large box of gravel and sand and Is attracting much attention from people who have not croaned tbe fiery deserts of Arizona. Many want to know why nature produced such a thing with so many bayonet-like thorns. They are told to keep animals from tearing it down to get at the water stored inside. It doesn't look as if It could be cut up Into watermelons, but the idea causes one to feel thankful that nature did not think to protect watermelons In that way. Just what kind of flowers this giant cactus will produce remains to be seen, but most species of the cactus family produce very showy flowers. Not far from the cactus Is an Oregon fern, over 11 feet tall. The roots of this fern extended many yards and It took a whole family of razorback hogs all Summer to root them out. Isdoro s' Hoard op Cotixrt. In ar resting Alexander Robertson, colored, yesterday. Policeman Griffith Roberts and Detectives Kerrigan and Snow have unearthed firearms and cutlery In the prisoners possession, and are now searching for tbe rightful owner. The articles recovered consist of a Winchester repeating shotgun. No. 1KZSI, model of 1537, 12 bore; 11 white-handled razors, three small razors, one dozen pearl handled pocket knives, and two black handled pocket knives. Robertson has re cently been seen In the company of a wmte man named Fuller. Wanted 310 Worth op Beer. A dispute took place yesterday between Charles Taro and George Howard on Second street, near Couch, about 310, which Taro says the other man took to buy beer. When Howard did not return with the beer Taro pallid in tbe aid of. Policeman Carpenter, and he brought both men. who were under the Influence of liquor, to the Police Station. Taro was locked up charged with drunkenness, and a charge of larceny was marked up against Howard. About '3 was found In Howard's possession. Prizes for School Children. The competitive compositions written for the prizes annually offered school children by the Oregon Humane Society are in the hands of the committee selected to pass on their merits, and the winners will be known about April 20.

Preparations for Pioneer day are well under way. Much Interest Is expressed oy pioneers throughout the state, and. notwithstanding death is rapidly thinning their ranks, the indications are that the attendance will be as large as ever. Last year was the banner year. 1040 persons hiving registered with Secretary Jilmes. Since the last meeting he has secured the names of more than 200. who were all In Oregon prior to -1S54. who never have attended a meeting of the association. It is probable that a number of these will attend the reunion this year. The date of the meeting will be on Wednesday, June 17, and it will take place in the Exposition building. Senator Chines W. Fulton, of Astoria, will deliv er the annual address, and Oliver C Ap plegate, of Klamath County, the occa sional address, it is the desire of Fresi dent Moreland and the board of directors that the 1303 reunion shall surpass all pre vious meetings in interest, and no effort will be spared to bring about that end. Tbe Southern Pacific and the O. R. & X. Co. have granted reduced rates to all who will attend the annual meeting of the pioneers, grand encampment of Indian War Veterans, Grand Cabins of the Na tive Sons and Native Daughters of Ore gon, all of wtucu will take place the sime week. FOOLS THE JAILER. Trusty Steals Sheriff Storey's Dob and Disappears. Frank Kelly, trusty in the County Jail, ran away yesterday afternoon taking with him a St, Bernard bitch entrusted to the care of Sheriff Storey by a friend re siding in Pendleton. Kelly also carried oft a roll of blankets belonging to an old man named William Henry, who. came to tbe Courthouse to obtain a permit to go to the County Hospital. Henry left his blankets on the outside near the door. and when he came out discovered that they were gone. Jailer Jackson heard of the old man's loss, and soon afterwards discovered that Kelly and the St, Bernard from Pendleton were also missing. The various Deputy Sheriffs were notified to look out for Kelly, snd word was also sent to the Police Station. Kelly Is worthless opium fiend and will sell the dog and blankets to obtain money to pur chase a supply of his favorite drug. WHERE TO DINE. We always have something extra sice.

PAUL CRITICISES COURT'S DECISION. Founder of the Pioneer Press Visits Portland Thinks Roosevelt In vincible as a Candidate. While popular opinion very commonly concurs In the decision of the Federal courts that the great railway merger Is invalid, men who think must see that a great blow has been dealt to all those states which are in any way tributary to the Northern Pacific or the Great Northern, the two roads concerned." Joseph A. Wbeelock. founder and editor of the Pioneer Press of St, Paul, and the Nestor of Journalism In the Middle West. Is at the Portland. Mr. Wheelock is trav eling for pleasure and rest, taking one of the few vacations that be has al lowed himself In more than 49 years of newspaper work. Almost alone in tbe great railroad center of Minnesota, has Mr. Wheelock fought the battle for the merger which he firmly believes Is neces sary to the proper development of the northern tier of states. "It Is not a question of being a trust. said Mr. Wheelock yesterday, "it is a battle to establish a world's highway. The two roads Involved In the merger were never really competitors. The re turns show that as a matter of fact only 2H per cent of their aggregate business was competitive, and the same may be said of nearly any two parallel rail- ways in the country. They always ope rate under Joint rates or an understand ing which amounts to the same thing. "The effect of the combination of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, with their Joint purchase of the Burling ton system, was to make them the high way of commerce across the continent. The merger was the only way to re duce rates. Do you know what Hill's idea, of operating a railroad 1st" To a confession of ignorance, 3ir. Wheelock responded with an explanation. "Mr. Hill's Idea is to make every loco motive carry the greatest tonnage possi ble. To do' this he is continually reduc ing grades and taking out curves. Even on the prairies be has followed out this plan. In some places he reaucea graues that were so unimportant or easy that other railroad men laughed at him. Mr. Hill believes In having big cafs. big loco motives and big steamships. "Against the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific Mr. Hill saw that qlher transcontinental systems were arrayed. It was simply a question, as he saw It, whether the trade of the country should go to the Orient by the Southern Pacific or by the Northern roads. "With the merger In existence, compe tition was not eliminated. It was sim ply lifted to a higher plane. Instead of a minor and unreal contest between two closely paralleling roads for way traffic, there was Immediately Initiated a battle for the transcontinental trade. The systems of the North threw down the gauntlet to the Southern roads. "Mr. Hill wants the lumber ot the North and tbe cotton ot the South to come West over the merger roads. The Southern roads have beard the challenge, and an Immediate effect Is to be seen in their policy toward the traffic that they seek. For years it was the policy of tbe elder Huntington to charge all the freight that the producer could afford to pay. Since Hill has begun to strive to estab lish a world's highway along his lines, this grasping policy of the Southern roads has to some extent been changed. Tbey have seen the good effects, the good bus iness produced by Mr. Hill's policy or a continual effort to reduce the cost of freight per ton per mile, and of building up the tributary country, and are adopt ing It themselves to- ar greater extent than ever before. The decision of the Federal court, while In accord with popular feeling, is, 1 think, almost revolutionary. It seems to enunciate the doctrine, new to our Nation and without value, that an Individual In vestor In tbe stock of one road may not also own stock in a road that parallels the first," "Asked as to his opinion of Roosevelt's Presidential candidacy. Mr. Wheelock stated that he thought Mr. Roosevelt could not be defeated. "I believe that Mr. Roosevelt has a stronger popular following today "than any President In the history of our coun try," said Mr. Wheelock. "not even ex cepting Genera Grant, I cannot say that I approve everything that Roosevelt has done, but that Is not to be expected of any man. I think his nomination and election are foregone conclusions." "You don't consider that Mr. Hearst's candidacy Is Important, then?" "Well," said Mr. Wheelock. "I can scarcely believe that Mr. Hearst really thinks he has any chance of sitting In the Presidential chilr. His candidacy is; of course, first-class advertising for his newspapers, and I fancy that therein lies his motive." Mr. Wheelock has a deep aversion to having his picture appear in any publica tion. An Oregonlan artist who visited him yesterday with the Intention of sketching the veteran editor was forced to forego the pleisure. "For 40 years." said Mr. Wheelock, "I .have not allowed my own paper to publish my likeness, and surely you will not ask me to play favorites at this late day." COMING ATTRACTIONS. Opens Slarqnam Engagement With "Taming; ot the Shrew." Tonight at the Marquam Grand Theater the eminent tragedian, Charles B. Han ford, will begin an engagement of two nights, with a special matinee Saturday, presenting three of Shakespeare's master pteces. Tonight the delightful comedy, The Taming of the Shrew," will be the play offered for the opening bill. Tomor row afternoon (Saturday) at 2 o'clock "Much Ado About Nothing"; tomorrow night. "The Merchant of Venice." This will give Portland theater-goers an op portunity of seeing an artist of the first rank, surrounded by an excellent com pany. In a series of Shakespearean plays staged with every attention to detail. The Taming of the Shrew" Is one of a few Shakespearean plays which can be seen and enjoyed by the general public without having previously made a study of the works of the great poet. It is a f iree comedy, if anything so classical can be so called, after having seen the Innu merable nonsenslcalltles which have been given this name. There is humor and cash from start to finish, and the wit Is the merriest and most, rollicking which has ever been incorporated into & com edy. Seats sre now selling for the three performances. For Srreet Charity's Sake. Benefit performances for some charity or another are given each year In great numbers, but their objects are mainly local In the cities in which they occur. It Is In this respect that the monster matinee which is announced to take place at the Marquam Grand on Tuesday next differs from the majority. Its benefits will be far-reaching how far. it Is im possible to gauge. A like performance will be given on the same day In every city In the Union, and the money so amassed will go to form the nucleus ot a fund from which a home will be founded for members ot the dramatic profession who are afflicted with the dread disease, consumption. Members of the theatrical profession everywhere will give their services for this object, and they con fidently appeal to the general public also to help on the fund by their attendance at the matinee. An excellent programme has been ar ranged to be given here, Mrs. Brtrne and her company will be seen in one act of her drama "Unoma": an act ot the new drama "Resurrection" will be given by Alien Benedict's company, while last, but cot least, in the list of company Hems comes the comedy relief, for Harry Cor son Clarke and his company will come from tbe Baker Theater and present the second act of "What Happened to Jones." Interspersed between these longer fea tures win be some high-class vaudeville turns, among which may be mentioned Weston and Herbert. Hugh J. Emmett and the Gactlers. all of whom have vol unteered to aid the cause. A feature will also be made of the musical portion ot tbe programme, the orchestras from oil three of the theaters having tendered their services. On the sUge the help will all be voluntary, too, so It is plain that the members of the profession In all Its branches realize to the full the Im portance ot the object ot their support, A public that is ever ready to help to the full those who help themselves will sure ly rally in large numbers In response to this appeal. A Great Vaudeville BUI Promised. Next Wednesday and Thursday nights the patrons of the Marquam win hive an opportunity ot witnessing one of the best vaudeville performances ever; seen here. The organization to appear is none other than the famous Weston & Herbert Com pany, which has attracted much favor able comment in neighboring cities, and who come here Indorsed by the press ot the whole country. The bill which Is pre sented is replete with musical specialties, monologues, the latest songs and dances, character sketches, ventriloqulal acts. and the many varied specialties which go to make up a strictly high-class perform ance. One can Judge of the merits of ,the performance when It Is known that among the artists are Weston and Herbert, Hugh J. Emmett, the four Brandons. Miss Miy Myers, the three Rosebuds, little Carrie, Cole and Allen, and Edison s latest bio scope. Sale Opens Tonight for "I'norna." This morning at 10 o'clock the advance silo ot seats will open for tbe talented actress, Mrs. Brune, who comes to the Marquam Grand Theater next Monday and Tuesday nights. April 20 and 21. In a dramatization of F. Marion Crawford's novel. "Unorna." One ot the most at tractive features of "Unorna," the love play written for Mrs. Brune by F. Marion Crawford and Espey Williams, Is the In cidental music The play is based on the love experiences of a Hindoo girl and an English officer, and the Oriental atmos phere gives opportunity for striking ef fects, xnere are several airs that per vade the piece that are particularly se ductlve. General Frederick Funston and staff and Governor Chamberlain have been invited to attend the first night's performance. A special car will be run from Vancouver, Harry Corson Clarke as a Fanmaker. But three opportunities now remain of seeing the genial comedian, Harry Corson Clarke. In his latest comedy cre ation. His Absent Boy." The play Is full of genuine fun and Is as clean a laughter-creator as can be Imagined. For this reason it will appeal to all lovers ot tbe best In comedy, and should not be missed by any who enjoy a hearty laugh. As Pennlc, the hen-pecked husband. Clarke gives a laughing performance that has rarely been equalled, and he receives ad mirable support from Margaret Dale Owen in the role of the autocratic wife. and from the remainder of the company from top to bottom. There will be a mat inee tomorrow and three bumper houses are sure to assemble for these last per formances. Next Week at Cordray'a. Two entirely new attractions are an nounced for Cordray'a Theater next week. "The Resurrection," which opens on next Sunday matinee, has created a furore probably second to no other play presented this season. Coming from the pen ot such a distinguished writer as Count Tolstoi, this might reasonably be expected. The production of "The Resurrection" that will appear at Cbrdrays Is sent out by Alden Benedict, who manages John Grif fith's tour. Tbe company presenting 'The Resurrection" is a large one, and the scenery and equipment very elaborate. "California" will be tbe second attrac tion of the week at Cordray's. opening next Thursday night for tbe rest of the week. "What Happened to Join." It you want to discover what did really happen to Jones, the drummer, after he has taught the police the gentle art of self-defense and has assumed Episcopal garb as a disguise you will have fo go to the Baker Theater next week, where Harry Corson Clarke will appear once more In his original character of Jones. That the adventures give the reason for those hearty laughs could hardly be said in fact, the terrible dilemmas on the horns of which Jones finds himself cast would make a tombstone grin as they are ex pounded by Mr. Clarke and his clever company. There Is probably no young man part In which the comedian appears to so great advantage as this, and none should miss the opportunity of seeing the comedian in this great creation. John Griffith na Macbeth. Lovers ot the legitimate will be de lighted with the performance- of John Griffith, tragedian, as Macbeth, now being played at Cordrajrs Theater, and which continues the bill until Saturday night. Many able and distinguished critics claim that John Griffith will reach a very high pinnacle of fame as a leglltmate actor, and be Is very apt to take first rank among legitimate stars. MAIL SERVICE BETTER. Postmaster Bancroft Makes Impor. tant Changes. Postmaster Bancroft, who la untiring in his efforts to lmprovo the mall service In this city, has about completed ar rangements which will afford the pub lic a far more satisfactory and speedy service than can bo given at present. In place ot one office (called Station "A") at East Portland, there will be es tablished one at Hawthorne and Grand avenues, one at East Morrison street and Grand avenue, one at East Burnslde street and Grand avenue. Tbe mall. In stead ot being distributed at the main ofllee, carted to East Portland, then re distributed at Station "A," causing a delay of about one hour In tbe morning at present, will be sent direct from the main office. Substations for the sale of stamps and money-orders and the dis patch ot registered letters and packages will probably be established at the fol lowing places, viz.: Russell street and Mississippi avenue. First and Grant streets. Third and Yamhill streets. Tenth and Morrison streets and East Twentieth and East Morrison streets, so that tbe patrons of the office can do their business without going so far out of their way. Meier & Frank Co. have also consented to allow the location of a station In a bright and sunny place In their store as soon as the Postofflce Is moved to the temporary location at Sixth and An keny streets. The Postofflce authorities will also probably consent to supply such further clerks "and carriers as will give more and earlier deliveries of the malt It is the earnest wish of the administration to supply the best possible facilities for the transaction ot the postal business.
