Erwin, assistant superintendent free delivery service, writes to Postmas ter Bancroft that he -will arrive in Port land about June 1, and will at once take up the matter of the 20 additional letter- carriers applied for by Mr. Bancroft. He promises to do what he can to help out in the matter. He will also take up the petitions from residents of several dis tricts in and adjoining- this city to have their fourth-class postofflce abolished and free delivery by carriers furnished. At Central, adjoining- Mount Tabor and Montavilla, there Is no free delivery as exists at both, those places. There is a populous district out at "Woodstock, and while Sellwood has free delivery, Fulton, just opposite, "has not. There are several of these anomalies in and about this city which Postmaster Bancroft will endeavor to have Mr. Erwin put to rights. Some of the complaining sections are just outside the city boundary, where it appears as if petfple had located to avoid city taxes and regulations, but would like to have city water, mail service, the same as in the city, and other privileges, for which cit izens have to pay. It is hardly possible to live In the country and enjoy all the privileges of living in the city. Judge Reed Gives Sciuptubai, Advice. "Love thy brother as thyself," said Judge Reid Monday afternoon, n.fter fining Thomas Cooper $5 for committing an as sault upon the person of his brother-in-law, J. Hammond. Both Mr. Cooper and Mr. Hammond live at Shattuck's Station, In Mount Zlon, occupying adjoining prop erty. Mr. Cooper's chickens not being content with their surroundings, started out to see the outside world, and the first place they visited was Mr. Hammond's garden. Mr. Hammond resented the visit and send a shower of small stones after the retreating fowls. Meantime Mr. Cooper arrived on the scene and demand ed an explanation. The conversation grew tropical. Cooper's answer to Ham mond's remarks was a resounding swat that sent the latter sprawling onto the much-prized garden. Judge Reid admin istered a warning to both men and al lowed them to go on a promise to err no more. Baseball. Baseball. Basebat.u Baseball Today, 3:30. Baseball Tod at, 3:30. Baseball Todat,. 3:30.

Tho public, which has been waiting patiently for some time to see the result of the ef fort of the Union Market Company to se cure the privilege of removing the old Mechanics' Pavilion and erecting a public market on the site, will be pleased if the Council decides the question this after noon, as is intended. An ordinance grant ing the company a franchise will be in troduced, and it is expected will be passed and at once approved by the Mayor. If this is done, it will place the company In possession of the market block at once, and it Is ready to commence tearing down the Pavilion the first of next week, or perhaps sooner. It has been ready and willing to begin operations for some time, but has been delayed by preliminaries. Street Sprinklers in Order. The fine weather has called attention to the fact that street sprinkling will soon be one of the necessaries of life. Superintendent Donaldson, of the Street Cleaning De partment, has been overhauling the sprinkling carts, and has 18 in order and ready for service. If the dust files well, he will have a lot of them out tomorrow. The majority of people are looking for rain, anyway, now, as continuous spells of hot weather are unusual at this sea son. People who have gardens to culti vate have been hustling for the past few days to find men to dig them, as this is the first time the ground has been in or der; for cultivating since the middle of "Winter, and all are anxious to have It attended to "before it rains." Smallpox Almost Stamped Out. Smallpox has been pretty well stamped out in this section, and there are no long er any cases in the County Hospital. Cases keep straggling into the city from Eastern Oregon, and have to be attended to. so that there are now a dozen cases in the city pesthouse. Several of them are quite severe cases, and one, a woman from the Prineville region, is very dan gerous. The physician was called out to the pesthouse very early yesterday morn ing to attend bier. The other cases are of a mild type. Past Sachems' Excursion to Albany and Corvallis Sunday, May 10. Trains leave 8:30 A. M., one hour for dinner at Albany, leaving Corvallis at 4 P. M.

A man who has held a responsible position at a good salary in a bank In this city for many years noticing a crowd of work lngmen collected on a street corner yes terday afternoon said: "I can't Imagine how those people manage to live at alL especially those who have families. They cannot earn much in the Winter, as there Is but little worknd much bad weather then, and as soon as Spring comes on and work was plenty, they went on a strike, and have made nothing since. Now," continued he, "I have not lost a week's work In years, and I get better pay than the most of worklngmen, and I have only six in family to support, and we are not extravagant, but it seems to me that if. I were out of work and drew no salary for even a few weeks, we should find it difficult to get along. Now, many of these worklngmen have more than six In family, and have been out of work most of the time for months. How do they manage to keep bread Iri the mouths of their wives and little ones?" "I give it up," replied the person ad dressed, "but It must be remembered that many of these worklngmen have no fam ilies, and probably these help the others. Besides, they draw strike benefits from the National unions to which they be long." Many Men Injured in Logging Camps. "There are two more of them o"n that corner," said a dealer on Front street yesterday, pointing across the street to two men walking on crutches. "Two more what?" asked a passer. "Logging hands," was the reply. "You can see half a dozen of them on crutches on tho street here any hour in the day." In reply to a question, the man said that there were a great many men hurt in logging camps, some in falling trees, some in rolling logs, but mostly In work ing about .the engines and cables, and in hauling logs out to a railroad or slide. The logs are very heavy, and cables fre quently break and the ends whip around and break a man's leg as If it were a pipe stent. "It Is .probably the new hands who get hurt mostly," was suggested. "No; it Is usually the old hands, who have become careless. Very few new hands get hurt They are warned of the danger, and are careful about venturing In dangerous places. But men who have been in tho woods for years, and think they know it all. get careless, and then they get hurt. I sea these injured men coming in on the boats from logging camps down the river very often." Fourth-Street Pitch Arouses Com- plaints. Much complaint Is being made In many quarters in regard to the coating of asphaltum pitch with which the wood block pavement on Fourth streot was flooded as a finishing touch. Since warm weather has come, the stuff has melted and sticks to the shoes of all who step on It, and so is tracked into public buildings, to the great annoyance of janitors. The pavements in front of the City Hall and Courthouse and the steps and tiling floors are bedaubed and blackened with this stuff, and worse in some hotels and office buildings carpets have been spoiled by the pitch tracked in by occupants of rooms. It was put there by order of the city authorities, and was intended to aid In precerving the wood blocks. As long as the weather was cool no fauir was found with it. Now that the weather Is warm, faultfinding will not help the situ ation. Some of it might be scraped off, and some might be removed at night, when it Is cool and brittle, by sweeping with the street brooms. The wood-block pavement being laid on First street will not be flooded with pitch in this way. Stamp Mill fob Mount Baker. The Mount Baker Mining Company, composed principally of Portland people, which has a valuable gold mine in the Mount Baker district, is beginning to look forward to having its quartz crusher installed. The machinery and material for the tramway from the mine to the mill was safely land ed on the site last Fall by tho Hammond Manufacturing Company, but the snows came on early, and it has so far been im possible to erect the plant. The company" has gone ahead with derflopment work during the Winter, and a large quantity of good ore has been got out and will be prepared for testing tho mill. The snow is still deep there; deeper, the oldest resi dents in that section say, than ever known before, but it has begun to melt, and will soon be out of the way. The Hammond Company has been buBy of late shipping the machinery for a mining dredge to Alaska. It has sent off three carloads, and has two more to ship, and It is probable that by the time this is ac complished work can begin on the stamp mill at Mount Baker. baseball. Baseball. Baseball.

All Will Eat Picnic Hams. Dieters in hog products have an article known as "picnic hams." It is a portion of the" shoulder of the hog, from which the thick fat part has been carefully cut away, as lard Is worth more than shoulder, leaving the lean meat and bone In the form of a short, stubby ham. A citizen who wished to buy a ham was inquiring into this matter yesterday and ascertained the facts stated. He was hot pleased with tho In-' formation, and was turning away, when a workingman standing near said: "If this strike continues much longer, we will all be eating picnic hams." "Yes," said his companion, "and making soup out of the shank bones." Work Begins on Washington Street. Work on the proposed Improvement of Washington street, from Sixteenth to the entrance to the City Park, was begun yesterday by the Trinidad Asphalt Com pany. The space between railway tracks Is to be paved with stone blocks, and the remainder of the street with asphalt. The summit of the grade will be lowered somewhat by making a continuous durve of the apex Instead of an angle, and grades all along the street will be cor rected and places reduced. . The public has been waiting long for this Improve ment, which will make Washington a much more traveled street. Past Sachems' railroad excursion to Al bany and Corvallis Sunday. May 10.

Xetr Features "Will Be Planned ly CltixeaV Committee te KjiUveK the PiGeramme, Portland will celebrate the Fourth of 3uly; that much -a meeting of business men determined last night, but the char acter of the celebration Is undecided. A temporary organization was perfected with John Lamo.nt as chairman and B. R. Cline as secretary, and after a general discussion of the various plans suggested the meeting adjourned for a week. It was believed by the business men In terested In last Right's meeting that but little progress could be made toward in suring the success of the celebration movement prior to the celebration of the President's visit. Up to May 21 It Is ex pected the people of. Portland will be so thoroughly Interested In the coming of the Chief Executive that they will not have any time to consider plans for cele brating the Nation's birthday, but rather than lose the valuable time intervening the temporary organization -will take up some of the preliminary work that can be done. Next to the unanimity of sentiment rela tive to the celebration of the Fourth the marked feature of last night's meeting was the general agreement that something should be decided upon which would take the day "out of a rut." Those Interested lii the movement are opposed to the set programmes that they Insist have char acterized previous celebrations, and they want something new. A portion of the representation last night was in favor of "an old-fashioned" celebration, while others merely desired the elimination of certain stilted features. As the meeting progressed the "old-fashioned celebration" gathered strength, and it is certain at least a few of the features suggested will be Incorporated In the programme lor the celebration. Tha,t there will be music and plenty of It is certain. Concerts may be given both on the Fourth and the evening previous to the celebration a number of the business men believe a sacred concert on the fol lowing Sunday would be a good feature. Local bands will furnish most of the harmony that will greet the ears of those who stop to listen, but outside bands are to be Invited to compete at Portland for prizes and to lend their assistance toward making the day memorable. In urging the "old-fashioned" celebra tion it was strongly contended that a Donneybrook fair programme to be given at the Multnomah Fair Association's track would be one of the most Interest ing features that could be provided for the general amusement. Races that would vary In their charac ter from the old-fashioned plow horse con test, the steer races, "horribles" compe titions and other country amusement features to the up-to-date dashes between automobiles were discussed, and then those in attendance, warming to the sub ject, wanted to Introduce' novel features by the score. While the races or other fetes were in progress it was suggested that local or visiting bands should give concerts from raised platforms and an afternoon of whole-souled fun be provided for every one who visited the track. In order to seat the" vast crowd which would gather It was proposed to erect temporary stands on each side of the pres ent grandstand. In addition thousands could be accommodated about the grounds and could get a view of all the sports that were offered. In a general way anvater carnival of unusual character was discussed, but the meeting came to the conclusion that crowds could not be accommodated along the shore, and such a feature would not provide the entertainment that was sought. Various suggestions for morning pa rades were made; some of the members believing that a strictly military showing would be more attractive, while others, holding closer to the "old-fashioned" pro gramme, wanted to introduce the "hor ribles" and their kindred attractions In the pageant. Weird floats and still more odd marchers were deemed of greater interest than a single military showing, though no one would deny the military contingent Its place In line. And every one wanted plenty of bands to furnish music. Then the reading of tho Declaration of Independence and the set speeches of the orators of the day were deemed necessary. Just where and how these speeches were to be delivered no one was prepared to suggest, but that they formed an Indispensable feature of the celebration was conceded. The fact that the Fourth of July falls upon Saturday was the subject of mu tual congratulation, for it is believed this will be of particular advantage to coun try visitors, enabling them to come to tho city Friday evening and return Sun day to their homes. Of course, the meeting last night could settle upon no definite plan. It was all speculation as to the best manner of celebrating the day, but the spirit In which those present entered into the dis cussion showed a strong tendency to do something out of the ordinary when the coming Fourth is UBhered in. That there will be a fitting celebration was assured by tho enthusiasm that was manifested, and each of those In attendance gladly adopted the suggestion that he constitute himself a committee of one to bring In new men at the meeting next Tuesday. Prominent among those who are taking the lead in urging the celebration for Portland are the following: Julius L. Meier, Fred T. Merrill. Charles B. Brown. B. R. Cline, A. F. Webster, P. A. Mac Pherson, John Lamont, A. B. Steinbach, H. D. RamsdelL H. C. Wortman, Louis Rosenblatt, H. W. Johnson, General Owen Summers and I. N. Fleischner. PERSONAL MENTION. L. M.

Sad Resalt ef Mrs. Savage's Acquain tance AVitk Mr. Fry; Mrs. Savage's purse containing $17.50 and diamond ring are gone and she and Mrs. McCully are -sorry they ever met Mr Fry. No trace has been left by which the gallant escort can be ideated by the police, two tearful ladles and two wrathful husbands. Mrs. Savage and Mrs. McCully reside at 133 First street, m the Strowbridge building, and It was while escorting them to their rooms from a dance last Satur-. day right that the sly Mr. Fry purloined the purse and ring, Mr. Fry is a photographer and has worked for -some time in several photo graph galleries in' the city. He Is a devoted admirer of beautiful women, and, being an excellent dancer and a pleasant conversationalist enjoyed a good position on the local social ladder. Mrs. Savage and Mrs. McCully had the good fortune, as they believed, to meet blm at a dance a few weeks ago. They found it very convenient to accept his company to their home, their husbands working at night, and the gallant escort appearing to be very willing to be of this little service. On a second occasion the photographer acted "as escort and on the way home persuaded the ladles "to accompany him to a dance to be- given on the following Sat urday night. , The night grew dark, and at the ap pointed time Mr. Fry. attired in his best, accompanied two fashionably dressed ladles to the dance. Upon his remark that the city was infested with an un usual number of thieves and burglars, Mrs. Savage put her engagement ring in her purse, along with, the $17.50. The dance over, the trio started for home, the noble escort complimenting his fair companions upon the "hit" they bad made at the ball. He told how it had been a great happiness to him to enjoy the honor of their company, a favor which would ever remain green in the garden plot of his memory "But you ladles must be fatigued. Mrs. Savage, do allow me to carry your shawl and fan; yes, your purse, too." On Sunday morning Mr. Savage inquired why Mrs. Savage did not wear her en gagement ring. The lady was dumb founded. She called upon Captain, Sim mons Immediately and received his prom ise to spare no effort to locate the missing Mr. Fry. On Monday morning no developments soothed the anxious lady, and a confes sion was made to Mr. Savage. It will be unhealthy for Mr. Fry if he should fall into the hands of two angry husbands. This is not probable, however. The detectives are of tho opinion that Mr. Fry ia an old hand at the business and that he has made skillful plana that will be hard to Intercept. COMING ATTRACTIONS. Oar JTeTT Mlatster. The Marquam Grand Theater will offer no more Important theatrical event this season than Dentnan Thompson and George W. Ryers latest successful New England play, "Our New Minister," which opens an engagement of three nights with a matinee Saturday; beginning tomorrow (Thursday) night. "Our New Minister" Is full of types of character mado familiar to jis all through tho earlier effort of Thompson and Ryer, ""The Old Home stead," while the subject of the play is a new one to the stage. Three acts of solid fun and strong dramatic situations make up this great play, and from first to last the story Is told In a simple, di rect, true and natural fashion. The orig inal production will not only be seen here In its entirety, but the original cast as well, thus Insuring a perfect performance. In the cast are John Terriss, Charles Sted man. Joseph Conyers, John Barker, Henry R. Scott, John P. Brawn, Louis Furce, W. C. Tanner, Grant Foreman, Ethel Brooke Ferguson, Phlla. May and Mrs. George W. Barnum. Beats are now Bell ing. McBvtcb, the Hynotlst. McEwen, the hypnotist and magician, will play a week's engagement at tho 'Mar quam Grand, opening next Monday night McEwen'8 hypnotic work is well known here, as he has appeared In Portland be fore, and always to deeply mystified and highly amused audiences. This year he adds an exhibition of magic to that of hypnotism, and his work in tho latter line, as in the former, has been received with great favor everywhere he has appeared. Most of his tricks are quite new and orig inal with him, and those which have been seen here before are presented by McEwen in an original style. With McEwen this season is Newton Smith, one of the most famous cornetlsts of the country, who will appear and play at every performance. Mr. Smith was formerly with the Marine Band of Washington, and also with Sousa, "By Right of Sword." Desplto the warm weather these nights the Baker Theater Is as cool and comfort able as electric fans can make it The attendance so far this week has been large, as the play "By Right of Sword" with which Mr. Stuart opened bis first season In Portland, won its way into the hearts of all lovers of the romantlo drama. "By Right of Sword" will hold the boards for the remainder of the week. The Master at Anas. For the third week of Ralph Stuart's present season It has been decided to pro duce "The Master at Arms," using the version of Dan Caesar de Bazan, written for him by Myron Lefflngwell. Mr. Stuart Is seen at his best In char acters admitting of elaborate and pictur esque costuming, amid scenes of herolo carnage, tender love making and dainty comedy. As Dan Caesar he has ample opportunity to show his talents.

LONG TRIP ON BICYCLE. R. Service, ef Vaaceaver, B. C, Oa His "War te Saa Fraaclsco. Mr. R. Service, a newspaper man from Vancouver, B. C, passed through Port land yesterday en route for San Francisco on a bicycle. He spent a week on the road from Vancouver to this city, and hoped to make the balance of the Journey to tho Bay City in two weeks more. He left Vancouver on Sunday, April 28, and visited Seattle. Tacoma, Centralla, Chebalis and several small towns on the route. Ho arrived In Portland Monday evening, apparently none the worse for wear. He spent yesterday visiting the city, and started on his way South this morning. Albany, Eugene, Roseburg, Grant's Pass and Ashland will be the stopping places in Oregon, and the towns in the Sacra mento Valley will also be passed through. If possible, "he will make a trip to the To semlte Valley, if the roads are In passable condition. WHERE TO DINE.
