Mator Inspects Grand Avenue. Mayor- Lane and City Engineer Taylor Inspected Grand avenue yesterday fore noon. The Mayor took a crowbar and ascertained for himself the solidity with which the stone blocks are laid in cement between the grooved rails. He seemed to be satisfied that the work was well done. On the whole conditions on Grand avenue are now satisfactory to the business men, as the indications are that it will be paved between Belmont and East Stark streets. The grooved rails are now laid except at the intersection of Grand ave nue and East Morrison street, where there will be considerable delay in getting from the East the Iron for the numerous cross tracks. Yesterday the Water Board de livered some 16-inch pipe which will be put down oetween East Washington and East Morrison streets so the paving can now be done the full width of the street for these two blocks. The remainder of the street may be paved on one side only until the pipe Is laid. A Special excursion train will leave First and Alder streets on Saturday, Aug ust 24, at 1:45 P.

R. & N. railroad west of Clarnle Monday afternoon and night caused no serious damages, although for a time It looked as if It might be car- . ried southward to the Base Line road and ) Rockwood. The wind, which blew Irom the northeast in the afternoon, changed to the west and drove the fire into a territory nearly barren of brush and dry grass, near the Smith tract, where it died out. Some of the farmers have a vivid recollection of the fire that swept through that territory six years ago burning houses, barns and crops, something not likely to be repeated. The section has since been cleared, leaving very little ma terial to burn except in the small brush covered portions. Altering Building for Food Show. Alterations are being made in the old Ex position building on Washington street to fit it for the pure food show to be given by the Portland Retail Grocers' Associa tion.

Labbe's private sanitarium on Overton street. On Monday Mrs. Bristol's condi tion was such that her recovery was con sidered doubtful, but reports yesterday announced that the patient was much im proved and that she is now out of danger. Mrs. Bristol's illness is believed to be due to eating clams while at Seaside about a week ago. She returned from the Coast apparently well but became suddenly 111 on Friday and was removed to the sanitarium. Delays Suit on Bonds. Suit to test the legality of the bond issues voted in June will not be brought by Seneca Smith for ten or 12 days yet, according to the decision reached In Mayor Lane's office yesterday. It is Mr. Smith's Intention to attack the validity of one of the issues of less certain standing than the Madison street bridge bonds. Mr. Smith expects to resist the bond Issue on the two main grounds that the Council has no right to vote these bonds without direct authority from the people, and even granting that right, the Council has not acted legally in regard to methods of issue. Writes From Turkey for Booklet. That Portland Is pretty well advertised is becoming more apparent daily and from the appearance of the mail received by the Chamber of Commerce it is evident that Oregon Is going to receive its full quota of settlers.

At the Theaters vVfcat the press Agents Say. MATINEE AT THE MARQUAM "The Second In Command" Proves a Sterling Attraction. A matinee will be given at special prices this afternoon at the Marquam, with "The Second in Command," a story of life as it really is In the British army, on the boards. The play In many features Is worthy of Kipling. The characters seem drawn iVom life, not so much as they should be as they actually are. " There Is the weak, worthless pet of a younger brother, who would prey cn his sister's marriage to pay his gambling debts, a character that dimly recalls "Measure for Measure." The slater, who through blind loyalty to family ties deceives two honorable men, is more weak and human than guilty. Underwood, as the big-hearted Major, does not act he slmply llves the part. So well does he read his lines and so apt Is his make-up that few of his friends will recognize him at first. There is a pleasing reserve, a lack of ranting about the acting as a whole that Uad to First Step Toward Success S THE SAVING OF MONEY, and there can be no greater incentive to do this than the fact that WE PAY 4 INTEREST compounded twice every year, and in case you de sire to withdraw before regular compounding dates all interest is not lost. Come in and see us. THE OREGON TRUST & SAYINGS BANK Sixth and Washington Streets, Portland, Oregon W. H. MOORE President E. E. LYTLE... Vice-President W: COOPER MORRIS.
