Raffety, of the water board, eaya that the new water main laid from the upper Mount Tabor reservoir is still in the hands of the contractors, and for that reason has not been turned over to the distribution system. Some leaks were dis covered in the standpipe at Vernon, which are being repaired. No defects have been found in the pipe Itself, which has been full of water to Commercial street for over 10 days. f)r. Raffety says that the pipe line may be accepted at the next regular meeting of the water board. There will be Immediate demand for Bull Run water at Piedmont, Wood lawn, Center Addition and Montavilla, for which pipe will have to be laid from this new main. Petition is being circulated at Piedmont asking that the local plant be taken over by the city. Probably a l--inch main will be laid north on Union avenue to supply these sections. For Center Addition and Montavilla Dr. Raf fety favors laying a 12-inch main from yVrberg lane to Ilibbard street and thence south to the Base line road. He said that the engineer of the waterworks is engaged in preparing plans for these dis tribution systems, and that whatever they are will probably be followed. No Trouble With C. D. Perkins. At the TjCwIb and Clark Exposition, Wilson 11. Kalrbank of the Massachusetts Com mission had with him as an assistant Mr. ('. D. Perkins now ot Warren, Mass. The man who made the accusations against tVnator Fairbank of mismanagement was formerly secretary of the Massachusetts board of commissions for the St. Ixiuis, l'ortiand and Jamestown fairs and his name is James M. Perkins. .His charges grew out of some political matters. Sen ator Fairbank has sued both Moran, who was running for office, and this James M. I'orkins for libel. Mr. C. D. Perkins and his wife remained in Portland for more than a year after the fair and were well and favorably known. It is therefore proper to correct the impression that may have gone forth that he has had any trouble with Senator Fairbank. for he has had none whatever. Foot Crushed in Elevator. S. F.

While ascending to the street Bock's heel apparently extended over the edge of the elevator and as it came up to the level of the sldcvt-Hk the foot was caught and jammed.- The injured boy's cries brought fellow workers to his aid and he was quickly released and taken to medical aid. No bones were broken but it will probably te several weeks before Bock can walk without the aid of crutches. hEONAHD a Dr.TECTiVE. Another clever pli-kup was atWed yesterday to the Sheriff's office list of captures when "Mike" Kelly, said to be a well-known sneak thief, was taken into custody by Deputy Sheriff Archie Leonard.
