M. TImms, of Hillsdale, was so favorably Impressed by the honest countenance and plausible story of a young stranger, who called on him last "Wednesday morning, that as a conse quence he Is now without a family driv ing horse. The young man Is described as being fully six feet tall, slender, of dark complexion, smooth shaven and with unusually high cheek bones. He was well dressed and had his lines down to such a fine point that he had no difficulty in con vincing Major Tlmms that he had lately vrorked on the farm of M. Merchant, near "Vancouver, that ho was born and raised near North Yamhill and knew every one In that locality, and that Tie had missed his train at Hooker street and wanted to borrow the horse to ride up to Mr. Hayes farm near Reedville. He mounted Major Tlmm's bay pacer, fitted out with blanket, saddle and a new bridle and disappeared down the lane, after promising to return by 5 o'clock that evening. Five o'clock has come and gone on several evenings elnce then, but Mr. Brown and the pacer have not put in an appearance. The horse would attract anyone's attention by Its perfect gait. It is a dark bay and has an enlarged Joint on the left hind leg, on which the brand from the firing iron, used to burn out a bono spavin, is plainly visible. He Is about 13 hands high and Will weigh 1000 pounds. More Streets to Be Improved. City Engineer Elliott completed estimates for the Improvement of a number of streets, yesterday.

Growl From the Motorman. "Why don't you come out Into the light, where I can see you?" growled the motorman, as he stopped the car with a Jar to take on a passenger who stepped out of the gloom" Just when the car reached the crossing. The whd was drlTlng a heavy rain against the glass screen-In front of him and the view of the sidewalk was ob scured by the shade of thick trees. "'Seven men out of ten haven't sense enough to show themselves at night when they want to board a car," he continued. "Some of them are thoughtful enough to strike a match to let you know they want to get on, but most of them expect you to see In the dark. And most women stand on the wrong side of the track and risk their lives, in case a car should pass on the other track. Common sense Is not so common, after all." Gospel Gives Wat to Saioon.

And he resigned himself to the inevitable. But in being loaded Into the wagon he caught sight of the ot fleer's star. "Oh, you'se a p'leeceman; I fought It was robbers," and Johnson was so thankful that he was still laughing when the keys turned. Baseball Todat, 3 P. M. Baseball Todat, 3 P. "M. Baseball Todat, 3 P.

Owing to the fact that the postal busi ness of Portland has Increased so rap Idly recently that the present force of mail carriers Is Inadequate to handle It a request is to be made to the Postofilco department for an Increase in the local carrier ranks. The carriers and -Postmaster F. A. Bancroft called -upon Sen ator Fulton and Representative William son last night and consulted with thorn in regard to the matter. Nine more mon are wanted by the office and a determined ! effort is to bo made to secure them. Tho matter will be taken up with the Cham ber of Commerce and every pressure will be brought to bear to secure the desired end. Both Senator Fulton and Repre ssntatlve Williamson assured the carriers and Mr. Bancroft that they would do all, in their power to get additional men for the office. In discussing the situation that has given rise to. the demand for an Increased force Mr. Bancroft said: "The postal business of the city has Increased 22& per cent in the past year. The increase has been so great that for the past month the mall carriers have been unable to, handle the business properly. in the business district It has been Impossible to make the collections as they should be made, and four deliveries which are called for are out of the question. The men are forced to work overtime to ac complish what they do and cannot handle all the work. 'I asked for 20 men before and go't 13, but this Is not a sufficient Increase. I think that nine more men would enable us to handle the work. The majority of these would be put In the business dis trict but three are wanted for outlylns districts. We need two for University Park district and ono for Woodstock. There aro fjrst-class postoffices in these districts, yet no free delivery. As a con sequence the residents of these sections feel that they are not being treated properly." LANDMARK !S LAID LOW HISTORIC TREE BLOWX DOTCX BY THE STORM. Willow Whicli "Was Planted 45 Year Aro on George T. Myers' Property Has a History. . The old, Jvy-covered willow, a landmark of Portland that stood for nearly half a century on the corner of Tenth and Taylor streets, on the property of George T. Myers, was blown down during the storm Sunday night The destruction of the old tree marks the passing of a relic of bygone days that has a remarkable history- It was known to many In the city and the destruction of It Is regretted, especially by those who know Its hlstory. The tree began Its growth when Port land was In Its youth. Now It has passed Into decay and will soon be a methory. while the city In which it-has stood like a sentinel for so many years is but in its prime. Nearly 50 years ago a branch was cut from a willow In Lone Fir cemetery. This twig was stuck Into the rich soli, and It grew Into the giant tree that ha3 marked the corner of Tenth and Taylor streets. Time sapped Its vitality, branches were cut away, and for years It has stood, an ivy-covered pillar of decaying wood. Many interesting bits of history center about it And, as usual, in connection with the willow, superstition found a lodging place amid Its boughs. It is an old saying that "he who plants a willow plants sorrow." Whether or not such re sults attended the planting of this tree Is not recorded, but there are those who at tach some importance to the old super stition. Mr. Myers, in giving a little history of the tree said: "I have known that tree for nearly 45 years. There are many pleas ant memories connected with It Tho property on which It stood I bought from the lato S. N. Arrigoni, one of the early hotel proprietors of Portland, who was famous as a host In early times. This is how the tree came to be on the property: "A man named Chris Nolan, a hackman, told me, after I purchased the property, that slme time In 1S5S or '59 he was at tending a funeral at Lone Fir cemetery and cut a branch from a willow tree. He took It to the Arrigoni residence and stuck it In the ground. From this branch tho big tree grew. At the time the branch was planted. It was not half an Inch in diameter and not more than four feet in length. A measurement of the stump today showed it to bo 44 inches In diameter. "Some years ago my late wife had the top branches pruned away and planted slips of ivy at the base. These slips grew until they covered the tree. I believe the Ivy sapped the life of the tree, for the stump Is but dry and rotten wood. "I remember a peculiar circumstance connected with my purchase of the prop erty. It was shortly after I secured the place that I walked home with Charles E. Calef, then of the Hodge-Calef drug firm. We stopped at my residence and he made the remark: If I were you, I would cut that willow down; It will bring bad luck. I made light of his advice and it nettled him. He cited families that had had family and other troubles, and ended by quoting the old saying: 'He who plants a willow plants sorrow.' I remarked that I did not plant the tree and I would let it grow. He Insisted that sooner or later I would be convinced that he was right I am In no way supersti tious, ,-but sometimes I wish I had taken his advice." COMING ATTRACTIONS. "Mrs. Dane's Defence" "The Lost Paradise." "Mrs. Dane'p Defence" was listened to by a packed audience again at the Baker Theater, and the week promises to be a record-breaker at that place of amusement as far as big box-office receipts are con cerned. Sunday matinee next will witness the promising production, long in preparation. of Henry C. DeMllle's great capital-labor play, "The Lost Paradise." Members of a local labor union are considering buying all the first-floor seats for some perform ance and attending In a body. Astonishes the Audience. Henry Cllvo astonishes the audiences at the Empire Theater this week, and George Austin, the wire-walker, makes them laugh. Spauldlng, the absurdest ac robat that ever was, makes them laugh harder, while the Fenz Brothers, the Austrian singers, make every one sit up and listen. Mabel Gilman, the child act ress, dances dainty dances, and Georgo and Laura Lewis fire comicalities attach other till the applause drowns their con versation. Altogether, the two hours which the programme consumes, is filled full of gilt-edge entertainment Prices 30, 20 and 10 cents. JnmcK and "Warde Tomorrow Night. Louis James and Frederick Wnrdi to morrow, Friday, Saturday matinee and nigni, ucioDer s, , ana iu, will present an entirely new nlar based on th iif nf Alexander the Great written by Rupert iiugnes ana conin Kemper, In which Mr. James will be seen as Alexander, and Mr. Warde as Perdlccas, his general and min ister of state. "Alexander the Great" Is by no means a womanless play; rather the reverse, for passion and love are among its most attractive Ingredients. Wagen hals and Kemper, the managers of the or ganization, have provided six elaborate stage settings, and wherever "Alexander the Great" has been seen It has been re garded as the big "show" piece of the year. Fifty people will be used In the production, prominent among whom are Norman Hackett Thomas Cooke, Wads worth Harris, Margaret Bourne and Engel Sumner. Perry Lectures on Books. To the solitary, silent searcher, "truth" is said to be revealed. Mr. Perry, tho book lover who lectures at the Y. M. C. A. next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes day evenings on the general subject of "Books and Their Makers" has a genius for appreciating genuine worth whereever found, whether It be In books or people. By his recognition of ability, many a solitary artist and craftsman has learned to appreciate himself and been encour aged to take his place as an active In fluence in the world of art Women, with their delicacy of touch and true eye, Mr. Perry predicts, will be the art binders of the future. Accompanying the exhibition of their work many photographs of these nrtlsts are thrown on the screen at the lectures, among them that of Cora Juno C.ady, of Grand Rapids, Mich. Of the binders ono is Miss Mary Roslna Prat a young, girl of New York, whose work on two volumes of "Lorna Doone" in the Perry collection Is very beautiful as well as remarkable. It having pictures of tho Doone country painted on the four glided edges. "In Old Kentucky" at the Marqnam. "In Old Kentucky" will be the attrac tion a't-the Marquam Grand Theater next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday afternoon and night October 12, 13 and 14, and there Is no more welcome news to the average playgoer here than this mere announce ment The play will unquestionably at tract the same enthusiastic attendance as heretofore. This makes the eleventh sea son of "In Old Kentucky," and a big com pany and a splendid new scenic outfit has been provided for this year's tour. The pickaninny contingent will also be larger than previously carried, and will Include a lot of new talent of Ethiopian hue. There is always something new In the pickinlnny scene. Miss Bessie Barriscale, who achieved quite a success as the moun tain heroine Madge Brierly last season with "In Old Kentucky" will again be seen in the part Good Honscs at "Down Mobile." Good houses nightly greet "Down Mo bile" at Cordray's Theater this week. The play is evidently just the thing that suits the patrons of Cordray's. It will continue to be the attraction there until Saturday night, and win then make way for Ro land & Clifford's "Over Niagara Falls," another gigantic scenic production. POCKET PICKED AT BANK Henry James No Sooner Cashes Check Than Money Is Stolen. Gold coin to the amount of nearly $200 was stolen from the pocket of Henry James, of the James Printing Company, Saturday noon, while he was leaving the Ladd & Tilton Bank at Second and Stark streets. The theft was committed by blocking Mr. James passage through a door. It was a few minutes before the bank closed a noon ana a crowa was pounng in ana out of the swinging doors. Mr. James had Just cashed a check for $199.25. He placed tho silver change In his overcoat pocket and the gold In a purse, which he quietly slipped Into his hip pocket At once he started out of the doors, but was stopped by a man who held one of the big swing ing doors open that the man with the money might pass out first Another man pushed against him from the rear. A stream of people passing in through the adjoining door made Mr. James hesltato for a few seconds. He felt no - undue pressure upon his pocket, but Is aware that he was Jostled by the man behind him, apparently trying to get by. Fin ally the crowd opened and Mr. James went out The few seconds which Mr. James had been detained, however, were sufficient for the expert pickpockets to do their work. The man In front took all the attention of the victim, while the pal In the rear was busy with the hip pocket and the purse inside. Mr. James went to the office of his company on Front street and did not dis cover the theft until some time after. Knowing that the pickpockets would not linger long in the neighborhood of the theft he went to Chief Hunt Captain of Detectives Simmons was dis patched to see what could be done. But the pickpockets, having got away with gold coin which could never be Identified, had made up their minds to stay away. So the crooks are aheSd nearly $200 and Mr. James is short that amount "No, I couldn't Identify the men," said Mr. James last evening. "I didn't take particular notice of them and I suppose that three minutes after I got out of that door I couldn't have told who the men were had I seen them. Chief Hunt thinks It's a hopeless case. I do not 'sus pect anyone connected with the bank." For the past several weeks a number of the most expert crooks In the West have repeatedly passed through Portland. They promised the detectives that they would not do any "touch" work here and on that condition were not disturbed. But two of them seem to have broken their promise. WHERE TO DINE.
