The strawberry season is about at an end and those who have not laid in their sup !.. c ov i-iT-pfirv!ntr are in Zl of belns- lef L The cherry supply Is .large, but very few are in urai-ciaw vv- i ditlon and it bought must do put. up i once as they will not keep. 'xnero dm i watermelons of the season arrxvea yesier been plenty of strawberries and many J day, but there was no great demand for vrv trnnA miM ri finite soells of bad I them on account of the cool weather. weather, and the price has practically not gone below 6 cents per pound. A few years ago housekeepers used to be able to procure all they wantea ior o i and sometimes less. But the demand is I much larger now and no one Iooks ior i good berries to go below 5 cents. The Hood River berry grower do not pay much attention to the Portland market. Having heretofore found ready sale for all they could raise in the "East. Some of them have met with rather hard luck shipping berries Bast this season. They used to be nble to eet all their carloads taken along on the express trains, but now the product of Hood River has become so large that the express trains cannot take them, and consequently they have to go in freight trains which is much slower, and a good many carloads have arrived) at their destl nation in bad condition, and so have not brought rood prices. Thef fluctuating weather, hot days and cool, showery ones succeeding each other rendered the ripe berries less solid and firm than usual, and this' in connection with the slow trans portation proved disastrous in several cases. The immense output of Hood River berries, if it keeps on increasing, is likely soon to reach over-producuon. Finds Bad Plumbing. The specimens of bad plumbing occasionally found by the Plumbing Inspector show that there are some very careless or incompetent work men employed by plumbers. They also tend to make one believe that sewer gas is not so deadly as many imagine. In over hauling the plumbing in an old building it was found that no traps had ever been put in and that the gas from the sewer had free entrance to sinks, closets, bath tubs, -etc. It was not known that the building had been a particular unhealthy residence, but the defect was supplied on general principles. In another and mod ern building a waste pipe had been con nected with the drain to the sewer with nothing more than a rubber washer coated with glue, which had been laid in the drain and the wasteplpe set on It. The sewer gas found Its way through this Joint without any trouble. In another place an iron drainpipe connecting with the sewer had rusted out or had been broken when put in, so that the earth about it was saturated with sewage and foul odors permeated the whole place. An active and vigilant Inspector of Plumbing is evidently a very proper official, for if plumbers did not know that all their work was to be Inspected by such an official there would be many traps left out and many leaky Joints made. To Start New Month at Crrx Hall City Treasurer Werjeln was hard at work yesterday getting his books balanced up for the end- of the half year. During the past six months he has handled J 1.300.000. and has now In his charge some $700,000 belonging to the different cit3' funds. The books of the City Auditor were also being balanced, but he has no money to handle or have charge of. In the License Col lector's office the license tags for the Quarter beginning today were being hand ily arranged In readiness for the saloon' keepers, hawkers, expressmen, etc., who will be lining up this morning to pay their licenses. In the Water Works' Office everything was in readiness for receiving water rates today and quite a number were paying in advance to avoid having to stand waiting in line today A Horse Which Cannot Lie Dcwn.-a horse hitched to a dray was run against and knocked down by a passing team on Alder street near Fifth yesterday fore noon, and the poor animal was unable to get on its feet again. A truck was brought up and the horse placed on it to be hauled away. It was learned that he has not lain down for two years, having some Injury of his loins, which renders it impossible for him once down to rise to his feet again. He has continued to work, oh a dray all the time. This seems almost Impossible, but there are manv horses -which sleep standing and rest by leaning .against their stalls.

The rains of tile past few days have been unpleasant to most people and nave been injurious to the cherry-crop and have prevented the bees from adding to their store of white- clover honey, but It is an ill rain that brines rood to no one. Gardeners have been benefited by the showers and one said yesterday that they had been worm $500 to him. The ground has been put in splendid condition for transplanting, and the cool, cloudy weather has been very favorable for the plants set out, so that the loos has been very smalL cabbages are belne set out by acres and acres, many persons making speedy work of this by running1 a furrow, laying tne plants along In it and covering the roots by turning another furrow over in em.

" Many onion plants are also being set oat, from seed sown m boxes, which has been found a good way to get a crop of onions started.

The Street Department is far behind in the matter of rolllne newly improved, streets, owing to the great amount of suca worK going on. The breaking of a main crank shaft on the ten-ton roller a short time ago caused a still further setback in this work, as it took several days to get the broken shaft repaired. If the work of improving streets keeps up at the present rate the work of rolling Is likely to be behind all Summer. City Engineer Elliott is about to try the effect of operating the large steam roller by night as well as by day. He has had a new man broken In to run a roller and ho will start out to night and keep the big roller going every night unless it is found to seriously in terfere with the sleep of residents along the streets to be rolled. It Is likely that tho city will soon have to buy another steam roller. Baseball. Todat, 3:30. Baseball Todat, 3:30. Baseball. Todat, 3:30. Baseball Todat, 3:30. Baseball Todat, 3:30.

The streets presented a less cowded appear' ance yesterday than usual. The visitors who have been tramping the city of late have about all departed, and the large number of citizens who have been flitting to the Coast, the mountains and other Summer resorts have left a vacancy which is becoming plainly perceptible. Many were at home making ready for the'l Fourth, and country people were not com- lng in as freely as usual, and business ap peared slack in most lines.

Persons coming here from other states are liable to be -at tacked by this epidemic. A few months ago a widow with one .eon. a vigorous. nealthy lad of 17, came to Portland from the East, A resident, who had known the -woman and her husband years ago. took them in hand, found them rooms and & chance for both of them to work. They prospered, and the woman, who was a skillful worker with the needle, began to save up money, and at the end of six months had several hundred dollars laid by. Then her son quit work. The friend who had taken them In charge asked him why he had stopped work. He said he was tired and was Just "resting up." "ureal. Oaesar," said the man, "resting up,; why, you have only been working five months. I have been working continually for 15 years and have never quit to rest up. Ho flo you expect you arc going to live" Oh. mother has some money saved up; t shall get along well enough." He had caught the tired feeling. He ate well. drank well and slept well, but the sight of work was painful to him. Injured in a Sawmill. Injuries re ceived from a flying splinter may prove fatal to S. Wilcox, a workman employed at tho mills of the Eastern Lumber Com pany. Wilcox and E. Wessels were working on an edger. A large board, which had been started through the ma chine, split, and the splinters flew In every direction. One large one flew In the direction of the men and struck wll cox In the head. He was knocked sense less and his scalp was badly cut. He was taken at once to' the Good Samaritan Hospital and Dr. Jeffries was called. The doctor was unable to tell last night whether or not the skull had been trac tured, but stated that the Injury was very serious. Minino in the North. The ten-stamp mill of the Mount Baker Mining Company, which it was Intended to have had started last Fall, but which the workmen would not stay tt complete on account of the heavy fall of snow. Is now in working order. The tunnels of the mine were found to be- In good order when the men reached them this Spring, and before long the owners will be able to tell what there Is In the one they are getting out. The mine Is higher up than any other In this region and In a region where the snow fall is Immense; but it will be made to yield up Its hidden treasures If no volcano Is tapped by the tunnels.

Goodwin, whose appearance Is an nounced for tomorrow (Thursday and Friday night at the Marquam Grand Theater, Is undoubtedly the most popular comedian that ever appeared on the local stage. No sooner had the fact of his coming been made known than requests for Beats and holdings came In galore, He will present for the first time in this city his new comedy, "The Altar of Friendslhlp," which is said to be more clever and wholesome than any of his former presentations as the opening bill The leading role in it exactly fits the persuasive personality of Mr. Goodwin and gives him opportunity to, display his wondrous art The story is particularly brilliant and touches of comedy and pathos so happily blend that many a laugh will chase away a tear ere It has time to well forth. The stagings and settings will, of course, be on the usual Goodwlnlan scale of lavlshness. The company that will sup port him is said to be above the average, Friday night "When We Were Twenty"- ono " will be presented. The advance sale of seats opened yesterday morning for both performances. Brilliant Farce at the Baker. It Is doubtful whether in all the history of the Baker Stock Company they ever produced a comedy which was entitled to more praise than Is "Arabian NIgnts. the brilliant farce which they are .present lng at the Baker Theater this week. The play Itself is clever and the members of the Baker Company give it an excellent Interpretation. Miss Lillian Rhoades, the auourn-naired and petite young actress, sings two songs during the progfess of the comedy, one of them being the ditty which Anna Held made so well known, "Tne aiaiden witn the Dreamy Eyes." The plot Is based upon a case of mis taken Identity where a pretty circus girl is confused with a charming female rela tive of Arthur Hummingtop. George All- son plays Hummingtop, -and his frantic endeavor to explain to his mother-in-law how the lively young performer happens to be In his house, are extremely amus ing. Up-to-date Vande-riHe at the Empire. The entertainment offered -to the public at the Empire Theater this week, fully sustains the claim made for It by th management "It will be the best vaude ville, performance ever presented In Port land," said Mir. Baker, and it is. Such a .galaxy of clever performers has never before been gathered In ' this city. The musical portion of the programme is espe cially strong. Among the singers are Arthur Hahn, the Australian basso, and Brooke Eltrym, formerly a Portland school teacher, now a rising young con tralto with a rich mezzo-soprano voice It is worth -while going a long way to hear Mr Hahn sing his great bass songs, "The xurnKey ano "Asieep in tne Deep." Budd Bros., the European clowns and tumblers. do a very novel and amusing fake- boxing match. Wells Bros, spring another nov elty. One of the duo sits In the audience and snores while his partner sings "Please Go 'Way and Let Me Sleep." Then he wakes up and sings from the body of the house. Matinee this afternoon. Shields Parle Vandeville. Shields' Park is popular and there can be no mistake judging from attendance each night Last evening was not warm in any sense of the word, but the audi ence which witnessed the entertainment was large and appreciative. Mr. Shields has put on eight different sketches this week and there has been amusement in every one of them. It is 'difficult to say Just which Is the best feature, for there is Hugh Emmett, the ventriloquist; Ath- lon-WHIson-Clark Company, Hooley and Kelton, the Palomas, the Dagmars. Rooney and 'Forester, John J. Welch and the rest Mr. Shields wishes people to Judge for themselves whether his artists are good or not, and he is encouraged in believing that those who are to at tend will be pleased, for all those who have witnessed the performances say no better vaudeville has been given in Portland. Last Pop Concert Tonight. The last "pop" concert of the season under the direction of Elmore Rice, vio linist will be given tonight at the First Baptist Church. The fine programme to be rendered should draw a large audience. 1 .Among the numbers will be included the Haydn D major string quartet, four movements, also a movement from the Beethoven and the Andante Canta bile by Tschalkowsky. Mr. Hidden will play aa a violin solo the elfentary by Popper and J. Adrian Epplng will sing 'Envy the JJird, irom tne serenade by Victor Herbert, CkrehOfcserves Anniversary.

After the service the congregation and friends of the mission adjourned to the parish-house. Here Bishop Keaton and others made short addresses, followed by Bishop Morris, who briefly mentioned the history of the mission, which originally was started by a young lady In the front room of one of thu houses In the neighborhood, stat ing how this Sunday school had grown until a building especially provided for the purpose was' required for Its gather ing, and later how on All Saints Dayr 1897. the corner-stone of the r resent school building was laid to be followed In turn by the rectory and the chapel, the anniversary of the consecration of the latter being the occasion for the gather ing. The mission buildings now occupy three lots of ground and the Institution Is In a thriving condition, and Is doing a good work, ministering as It does to so many of the requirements of those among whom It Is situated.
