M. Asphalt Compant Makes JIepairs. Tee repairs to the asphalt pavement in strips and patches of various sizes which have of late been In process on Alder street ana places, on Sixth street, between Alder and Morrison, have attracted the attention and aroused the curiosity of many. As the same repairs were made a year ago, and the asphalt being taken up and replaced appears to be in as good condition as any ofthe rest. Inquiry into the matter elicits the Information that the repairs made last year were not satisfac tory, and the Asphalt Company admitted that the material used was not satisfac tory. The company asked the city au thoritles not to assess the cost of the work when It was completed, saying: that It would procure good asphalt and do over the repairs at Its own expense, which Is now being done. This Information was satisfactory to all concerned, except some property-owners, in front of whose places repairs have been made where none were made last year, and for which, as far as they could see, there was no necessity. The officials of the Asphalt Company ex plain this by saying that th places newly repaired in most cases should have been repaired last year, but as the decay was not so plainly to be noticed as in other places, the Inspector let them pass for the .time. Now he has marked a number of these places, especially on Sixth street, between Washington and Morrison, and they have been repaired. These are the first repairs that have been made on this part of Sixth street, although the pave ment has been down 11 years, and in places along- the gutter was quite badly decayed. This statement is published for the information of all concerned. Rise of Rivers Stops Fishing. The business of fishermen and flshdealers in this section has been more than usually precarious this Spring, on account of the numerous rises and falls on the rivers. For some time a fair supply of salmon has been received here from the Lower Columola, and a week ago more shad were being caught than could be disposed of. The last rise put a stop to fishing en tirely, and for several days no salmon or shad have come to market from the Lower Columbia, and none could be ob tained from the Sacramento or the Sound. Sealers have been in a bad fix, having to fall back on the Rogue River for their supply of salmon, which has been shipped in from Grant's Pass. Fishermen from Eagle Cliff, who were In the city yester day, say the fall in the river during the past day or two leads them to. hope that they will be able to supply the market with salmon and shad In a few days. One who has been fishing in the Colum bia for 25 years says the volume of water sent to the sea by that river this year is greater than he has ever seen before, for there has been a flood going down since March 1. He thinks that with the check given" by the present cool weather all danger of any very high water is past for this season. He expects to see the salmon coming in as soon as the water recedes a little more in such schools as have never been seen before, and which It will be impossible to care for properly.

Fifth and Sixth streets during the past two weeks and. have attracted the attention of many. Owing to the intense white light they diffuse, they can be read ily distinguished from the other lights on the streets. From an article in the June number of the Electrical World, giving a description of the strange lamp, it Is learned that it is a new invention, known as the magnetite arc lamp. It Js said to be the first Important Improvement on the carbon arc lamp, which has been in use some 23 years and has maintained all that time its reputation of being the most efficient artificial llluminant known. It has, however, always had two defects or weak 'points-the shortness of life of the carbon electrodes, which TTecessl tales fre quent trimming, and the slight tinge of violet color in the light it produces. Ef forts have been made during a number of 'years to remove these defects, but with lit tle success. Lately It has been discovered that magnetite, or black oxide of iron. one of the most common iron ores, when properly treated, is a great Improvement on carbon as an electrode, being a good conductor, lasting well and giving a white light of great efficiency. Electrodes of this kind used in the magnetite arc lamp last from 150 to 200 hours, so that this kind of lamp requires- trimming only about as often as an Incandescent lamp requires to be replaced by a new one. which is a valuable feature and effects a considerable saving of labor. The specimens of the magnetite arc lamp have probably 'been sent out here to be tested and the Inven tor doubtless hopes to see it In time en tirely supersede the old carbon arc lamp. Captain Simmons at Work Again. Captain of Detectives Sam Simmons, who has been Incapacitated for duty by sick ness, for the past six months, announced at the Police Station yesterday that he would report for active work today. Cap tain Simmons "has been a sufferer with nervous ' prostration for a long time and early last Fall was compelled to stop work. He has been connected with the Portland Police Department for a num ber of years, during which time he has established an enviable record as a, de tective. A goodly share of the most im portant arrests made In Portland during the past ten years may be credited to his efficient work, and he enjoys the confi dence of all the business people of Port land. Until very recently It was feared that Captain Simmons might never be able to do detective work again, and the Captain bad little hope of such good for tune himself. Hundreds of dollars were spent to no avail In the hope of effect ing a cure, but medicines, doctors and a change of climate gave no relief. Mrs. Simmons, however, who is matron at the City Jail, deserves all the credit, accord ing to the Captain, who says she discov ered a homeopathic remedy which has given him immediate relief and he be lieves a permanent cure. Ice War a False Alarm. G. M Brown, of theHazelwood Cream Com pany, yesterday put a damper on the hopes of the people who thought tho Hazelwood Company would enter the ice business In Portland. The installation by the Hazelwood people at Fifth and Oak streets of one of the largest ice manu facturing plants in this part of the coun try gave rise to the report that there would soon be competition in the local field. Mr. Brown yesterday said there was no truth In the report. "We shall manufacture Ice exclusively for our own needs," said he. "We are Installing this machinery simply for our own use. As It Is now, we have, to buy tons of ice dally, simply to crush and pack around Ice cream for shipment, while we have no refrigeration whatever for our manu facturing rooms. To get the best results, cream should be handled and butter man ufactured in a cool temperature, and our ice machine will put the temperature in all our departments absolutely under our control." May Build Largs Schoolhouse. The directors of the St. Johns district are considering the advisability of building a much larger schoolhouse than first con templated, owing to tho locating of the Portland Woolen Mills and other indus tries in St. Johns. It was first proposed to build a two-room annex at the back end of the present four-room structure, and bids were asked for according to plans prepared by Architect C. Browne. Since then the directors have about con cluded that it will be necessary to have an eight-room building. To do this It will be necessary to Issue bonds, and this action will probably be taken In a short time. Mr. Brown has the plans for an eight-room schoolhouse prepared, so the contract may be let when desired. Morrison Bridge Temporarily Open to Pedestrians. Cars ceased to " cross Morrison bridge and pedestrians were per mitted to cross yesterday on the cause way built along tho north side of the bridge floor. Cars were stopped to per mit the raising of the bridge floor about six feet. Passengers on the cars are transferred. It Is expected that it will take about ten days to raise the bridge floor. Tho floor of the draw will also be raised, so the cars can be operated as usual. Nothing of the upper works of the Morrison bridge now remains, and tho floor rests on piles for the entire dis tance. A railway has been built from the East Side approach along the cause way on the north side, on which bridge material will be handled. Ferry Will Be Completed June 15. The Sellwood ferryboat Is belg completed at the foot of Jefferson street. Contractor Ben. Smith says ho expects to have the craft finished and ready to begin running by June 15. At present tho two outside cabins are being built. The boiler and engines are on the ferry. It is a sub stantial craft. 100 feet long by 45 wide, with a seven-foot hold. So far as the ferry is concerned It can be operated on June 15 If the landings at Sellwood arc ready. There Is some adjustment yet to be made before the West Side landing site Is secured, but this Is expected to be out of the way in a short time. It will take but a short time to build the Inclines.

LOUIS GHEMIN DEAD Oregonian's Veteran Press i.man Passes. Away, WITH THIS PAPER SINCE 1862 He Brought the First Hoe Single Cylinder Press to Portland-He Was Civil War Veteran, High Mason, Prominent Citizen. Louis F. Chemin, about 63 years old, and who was for 42 years foreman of The Oregonlan pressroom, died at 2:15 o'clock this morning at bis home; 528 Morrison street. He was seized with a convulsion earlier in the night, after which he sank into coma, from which he did not recover consciousness. He was born at Third and Pine streets, Philadelphia, Pa., his family being of French descent, and at an early age lie started to learn the printing busi ness. While yet a youth he became a member of the Philadelphia volunteer fire department, and ono of Its most fearless fire-fighters. It was then that Mr. Chemin determined on a Western career, and la tho year 1862 he sailed by way of Panama for San Francisco. He had only worked for a short time at San Francisco, when The Oregonlan required machinery for Its pressroom and Mr. Chemin was Intrusted with the work of placing the machinery In order, bringing to Portland the first Hoe single-cylinder ever seen in the Pa cific Northwest. Mr. Chemin settled down to become one of the solid, hard working pioneer citizens of this city, and one of his first homes was on Park street near Flanders. He afterward moved to in Third street. In all these 42 years he was one of The Oregonlan's most faithful servants and grew up with the paper. Mr. Chemin vras an expert In Judging tho value of property and he amassed quite a large sum of money which he carefully and Judiciously Invested In property In different portions of the city. He was a thirty-second degree Scottish Rite Mason, was also a member of the Portland Lodge of Elks, No. 142, and a volunteer fireman. In politics Mr. Che min was a Republican, and although he never held office was a member of sev eral county conventions of his party. In many ways Mr. Chemin was a public spirited citizen and one of the best known men in and around Portland and tho country tributary to It. He is sur vived by his widow and an only daugh ter. Miss Julia Chemin. Mr. Chemin was In good health until one year ago. Until that "time he had Seen the Oregonlan to press every morning. Lately he has confined his work to a gen eral supervision of the pressroom. Last Summer he suffered from a severe attack of Brlght's disease, which caused his death. Dr. A. E. Mackay was summoned last evening and was with him until his death. The funeral arrangements will be announced later. The Oregonlan which Mr. Chemin saw grow from a village weekly to a metro politan dally was founded December 4, 1S50, and was at that time a sheet of four pages, six columns to the page, and was published weekly. On February 4, 1861, the first issue of the Dally Oregonlan was Issued. In 1862 the first single cylinder power press ever brought Into Oregon was in stalled in the Oregonlan pressroom by Mr. Chemin. It threw off 1200 sheets an hour printed on one side, or 600 complete pa pers, and this was so much faster than anything else ever used In Portland that It gave the Oregonlan a decided success over its rivals. The little machine was no small factor In working our the news paper problem In Portland. It did its work admirably for ten years, when It was superceded by a machine double its capacity, which in a few years had to give way to a still faster press. By 18S4 the circulation had grown to such a magni tude that a hand-feeding machine was no longer available, and a machine printing from a continuous roll and delivering 12, COO papers per hour was Installed. This In Its turn was displaced In 1892 by a ma chine of latest make and greatest ca pacity, throwing off 24,000 papers an hour and printing any number of pages, from 4 to 24, as desired. Two years ago Mr. Chemin supervised the Installation of The Oregonlan's latest press. v . r- DROPS DEAD ON SIDEWALK. Edward M. Sargent Expires From Heart Disease. Edward M. Sargent, of the firm of Lam bert & Sargent, and a well-known citizen of the East Side for the past 20 years, dropped dead from heart disease yester day morning at an early hour on the side walk at the corner of Grand avenue and East Stark street Mr. Sargent left his home at 519 East Ankeny street at 8 o'clock and was on his way to his place of business in the back portion of the Citizens' Bank on East Washington street and Union avenue, apparently In good health. When he fell some bystanders ran to his assistance. Dr. G. E. Nottage was calfed, but life was extinct when he was reached, and the body was removed to F. S. Dunnlng's undertaking parlors. While Mr. Sargent appeared to be In good health, his Intimate friends knew that he was far from a well man. His duties as chairman of the recent G. A. R. exercises in Lone Fir Cemetery were very fatiguing to him. Mr. Sargent was born in Iowa, June 7, 1S45. During the war he served In the Twenty-fifth Iowa Volunteers. He was se verely wounded through the right shoulder In the early part of the war, and had a very creditable war record. In 1SS0 he came to Portland, and soon afterwards became a member of the firm of Creltz, Lambert & Sargent, which was merged into the firm of Lambert & Sargent, and he was a director of the Citizens' Bank. Mr. Sargent was a public-spirited citizen,, and his sudden death Is a great shock to the community. He was senior vice-commander of Sumner Post, G. A. R,, a mem ber of Washington Lodge, No. 46, A. F. & A. M., and a member of Phlanax Lodge, Knights of Pythias. A wife and two child ren survive him. The funeral will be held Sunday. East Side Notes.

MISSING MAN IS FOUND. E. V. Allen Is Arrested and Charged With Insanity. E. V. Allen, for whom the police have ben looking since Monday, was arrested on the charge, of Insanity at the corner of Fourth and Taylor streets by Special Officer TIchenor, at 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning. Allen had written a letter to his wife, declaring his Intention to com mit suicide. When arrested Allen said he was then on his way to the County Jail to give himself up to'the authorities. He had every .appearance, however, of a hunt ed man, four days' growth of beard and generally unkempt appearance. To a reporter Allen admitted that he had read newspaper articles that were published about him, but had no explana tion to make. He denied that he was In hiding and when asked why he did not stay at home with his wife, said that was a family matter. 'There Is a report that she tried to poison you; Is there anything in that?" . "No; she never tried to ponson me." Allen said there was no trouble between them, but lie refused to say where he has been of late. He said he was not 111. nor out of his mind, but had nothing to say by way of enlightening the public concerning his strange conduct Ha" says he has lived In Portland two years, and was employed recently as a street-car conductor by the City & Suburban Street Railway Company. He does not appear to be at all out of his mind, but as there Is an Insanity com plaint on file against him he will no doubt have an examination on this charge In the County Court Mov 9rt Afro Allan nnnearaA )ufnn Jay Upton, Clerk for Judge Webster, and signed a complaint against her husband, charging him with Insanity. She said he had attempted suicide, and that she was afraid he would harm himself, and she wanted him locked up. When officers went in search of Allen, he could not be found. and his . mysterious dlsappearanca was then reported. Leading members of the Woodmen suspected that Mrs. Allen knew more about the case than she pretended, and at their request Deputy Sheriff John H. Moore was sent to her house on "Starr street, in Alblna, early yesterday morn Ing. The officer arrived upon the scene at 5:30 o'clock, expecting to find Allen there, but was disappointed. Following Instructions, he brought Mrs. Allen to tho Courthouse, and after the members of the Woodmen .had Interviewed her she was allowed to depart Mrs. Allen tele phoned to C. H. PIggott, attorney, to call and act as her legal adviser, and he re sponded at once. It was soon after Mrs. Allen and her counsel left the Sheriff's office that Allen was seen walking along Fourth, near Taylor street The Woodmen of the World give little credence to the Insanity story of Mrs. Allen, and believe that she is to blame for the trouble. J. M. Woodworth. clerk of Multnomah Camp, No. 77, of which Allen Is a mem ber, said last nigh "Wo don't know Just what course to pursue as yet I have been in telegraphic communication with the head of the order all day, and while we will -undoubtedly have to expel Allen, from the order, we can do nothing until we receive instructions from Den ver. "I understand from some of the mem bers of the lodge who interviewed Allen this afternoon that he said that he never attempted suicide by taking laudanum. He admitted that he bought the laud anum, but says he poured it on the ground and that it was Just a trick played as a forerunner, to the drowning game. He also stated that his wife was with him when he wrote and posted the letter to C. H. Piggott declaring that he In tended to commit suicide, and said that the plan was of his wife's invention. He said that he met his wife in December by answering an advertisement in a news paper." BUYS NEW GRIMES HOTEL. Dan J. Moore to Conduct Summer Re port at Clatsop. Dan J. Moore yesterday purchased the New Grimes Hotel, at Clatsop Beach, which he will conduct personally in the future as a Summer resort The. house fronts on the ocean beach, and besides the buildings there are 3& blocks of ground.

NEW TERROR FROM YALE FRED ROBINSON, A PECTACU . LAR DRUNK, ARRIVES. Borrows; Money From AlI-;Graduates of the College and Gets Into Jail Frequently. Where Is Fred Robinson? "i'JGTXI Ask the Yale alumni. ; ; ' Did he bleed them? Ask 'em. Whether Fred Robinson is a Yale man has not been definitely decided, but he certainly stnmg all the Yale men In town on thestrength of their alma mater. He Is said to be a clever man when he is sober, but he remained in that condition for such a short time after he arrived here a few days ago that his cleverness has to be Judged from drunken actions. Somehow he got a list of all the Yale graduates In town and systematically borrowed money irom them, averaging $3 to Jo a man. He even went to Oregon City after prey.- He was getting rich rapidly, but was unfortunately getting veryi drunk at the same time. That land ed him In Jail. At the station he told a very sad tale about being doped and being found head ed for the hospital, guided as If by a higher Instinct, when arrested. On his respectable appearance and on that Yale record of his he was presumed by the police to be a very ordinary drunk. He was allowed to go free. From that point began his drunken vagaries, of which when he sobers up in whatever town he is shipped to by his dear college chums who do not wish him here, he will probably know nothing, as he has plainly been crazed by liquor for three days. Tuesday evening he boarded a Morri-son-street car, going up town after the theater. He addressed a man standing on the rear platform by the name of one of the men he had bled, and. finding him self unrecognized told the'man addressed that even "it he were in evening clothes ho might speak to him. Going Into the car he sat down and lifting his foot placed It gently In thoiap of an old Jewish lady across the way. The conductor threw him off. Thereafter he tried to clean out several bars and drug stores, threatening to kill a number of people who would not buy him drinks, and keeping up the pace all nightf was finally landed in jail again the next day, after having, become known to half the town by addressing women ffn the streets and' other gentle prac tices. He went the rounds of tho Yale men again looking--for money. This time he was turned down good and hard. Again in Jail he remained there until sober enough to contrive a means of escape. Wednesday night was quiet at the Police Station and the portion of the building occupied by the new cells made of bars was not entered by the jailer for a long enough time for Robinson to crawl up tho water pipe, passing through his cell, bend the bars apart on top far enough to put his head through and drag his body after. Ho crawled out on his hands and knees so that the officers on duty could not see him. Before leaving he turned on a water faucet so that the whole Inner portion of the ground floor was soon flooded, and the drunks, who were a cheerful crowd, had to get upon the bunks and draw up their feet, probably thinking they were In Venice. , Yale, meanwhile, was acquiring a very unsavory reputation about town on the strength of this unworthy son, so the old grads got together and decided to . ship him -elsewhere. They found on inquiry that there was Just one way he could go. South, as he had left a reputation north and between here and Chicago that would prevent him from returning. So South he is to' wend the uneven tenor of his way, which will be paid by subscrip tions taken up among the Yale men. COULDN'T HELP IT. Piano and Pianola Purchased at Eilers Piano House by a Man Who Did Not Believe In Sales. "I'm just rubbering," announced a gen tleman who was approached by a sales man at Eilers Piano House last evening after dinner. "This sale of yours has created such a noise round town that I thought I would drop In', as I was pass ing. I may purchase a piano here after your sale Is over, and I am willing to bet I will get as good a bargain as I could now' "Let me show you," answered the sales man. To make a long story short before the. salesman had gotten through showing him, the doubting Thomas had selected not only a fine HaddorfC piano, but a Pianola to match, and requested that they be held until he could go home and get a coupon to make his flrst payment, as he had none with him. Before 9 o'clock he was back and the two Instru ments were delivered to him the next day. The price he paid, he said, was Just about what he had thought he could afford to pay In order to secure the kind of piano he wanted. This Is only one instance of many. Everybody who calls Is more than sur prised at the bargains In fine pianos they are able to secure at this store now. If you have any doubt about it, do as this gentleman did, come In and "rubber."
