M.; shows at 2 and 8 P. M. Biooest Cucumber or All. The "Big Best Cuqumber" contest goes merrily on. Although the other contests may ha-e certain mercenary underlying motives the cucumber struggle Is above suspicion. Borne time ago a rash man proclaimed to an amazed world that in the cucumber line he had raised a whopper. It meas ured in feet and welffhed in pounds. Then he settled calmly back to enjoy his glory when another chap came to the front with a "whoppest." so to speak. It was something less than a foot longer than the other fellow's, and a trifle nearer a ton In weight. Safely enthroned as the Cucumber King of Portland the owner of the green backyard mountain had a few days to gloat when John Klrkley, of M) Macadam Rond. caused a disturbance of the earth's axis by bringing to town a cowcumber .the grandfather of them all. It weighs 4 pounds 10 ounces, is 14 1-4 Inches long and 13 1-4 Inches around. This monster was raised on a farm near Newberg. Whether or not it took the whole farm to raise it Is not definitely Vnown. Rbal,tt Transfers Double In the last live years the County Clerk has re corded 99,988 deeds, mortgages and re leases of real estate, and when this num ber reaches 99,999 It is proposed 'to again begin numbering at 1. Some Idea of the Increase of transfers In property In the last few years may be gained when it Is said that between 1S0S and 1902, 41,000 Instruments were recorded. Of these 24,936 were entered during the term of County Clerk Malcolm, and 16,064 during the time County Clerk Beach was in of fice. It will thus be seen that realty transfers have more than doubled sinco County Clerk Fields took up his work Ave years ago. Motbbr Dies in Germant. Louis E. Trummer received a letter yesterday from his former home in Saxony telling him that his mother died September 20 at the old home place near Chemnitz at the advanced age of 84 years. Louis, one of five children, was the only one to emi grate to this country, his two brothers and two sisters remaining In Saxony. Mr. Trummer came to America in 1877, and after a residence of six years in Nash ville, Tenn., came to Oregon, where he has lived ever since. Taxes Paid Promptly.

WHO PUT UP BAIL MONEY? Many Conjectures as to Bonds Fur nished by Mrs. Waymire. Just what disposition will be made of the case against Mrs. Belle Waymire and E. E. Radding, charged with attempting to extort property from Mayor Lane, is a matter that is still receiving consider able attention among lawyers. While the belief exists that the Mayor waa the object of a blackmailing plot, one pos sibly Inspired by blackleg politicians, yet a doubt is quite as general that anything can be done with the pair supposed to have been hired to carry out the plot. The charge of attempting to extort money la of a purely technical order and there is no direct evidence to carry K out. Whether any court can be brought to regard the 'acts of the defendants as preliminary to a demand for money and therefore equivalent to the demand is altogether questionable. Just where the ball came from upon which Mrs. Waymire and Radding were released has not yet been revealed. It is said that part of the amount was provided by A. N. Wills, president ol the Council and political enemy of Mayor Lane. Wills testified at the preliminary examination of the two accused parties last week that Radding spoke to him some weeks ago about raiding Mayor Lane's office, but the Councilman claimed to have spurned that proffer at once. At this time he denies, too, having put up a cent of the bail money lh the case and says he hasn't any Idea who advanced the amount. Captain E. W. Spencer is also said by parties who ought to know, to have furnished the bail for Mrs. Waymire. The readiness with which two unknown and mistrusted persona secured over J1000 cash bail without security is taken as only another evidence of a plot in which persons of Influence and means were involved. And the fact that those supplying ball have insisted upon keep ing strictly in the background is not re garded as reassuring. LOST.

Bowman, at the Brownsville Woolen Mill Store. Consider Arch of" Welcome. Mayor Lane yesterday appointed Coun cilmen Annand, Baker and Cellars on the special Council committee to consider the advisability of erecting an arch of .wel come on Sixth street, near the Union Depot. The proposal to erect such an arch was made In a communication from the Rose Festival Association received by the Council at the last meeting. The arch. If built, will be composed of staff and be of an attractive design. It will be brilliantly illuminated and have several fountains at its base. A tentative plan has been drawn, by a local architect. PUT UP OR SHUT UP $500 READY AT THE GERM AX AMERICAN' BANK. George Jabour, Oriental Rug-Dealer, Issues Challenge to a Competitor. A jealous firm published yesterday a paid article In The Oregonian extoll ing; their, honesty, reliability and great success in this city. They also pro claim that they don't like to notice or answer a small fry Arm. Why didn't this Jealous firm think of this before they commenced hammering and knocking us since we first com menced business in this city? They have also knocked everv firm in town that has carried Oriental Rugs and it oeems ro me tnat this Jealous firm would like to have the exclusive fran chise to sell rues In Portland. Now. Mr. Jealous Firm, your time is up, your bluff Is called, don't back out. First. I challenge you to show that you ever Imported a single Oriental Rug or Carpet. All of your rugs come from a second-hand Armenian rug dealer In New York. Second, you never saw or handled an Oriental Rug In your life until you came to Portland four years ago. ' Third, that we carry a larger and better selected stock of Oriental Rugs and Carpets, that they are of better quality and that we sell at more rea sonable prices and always deliver to the buyer the rug purchased. Fourth, I can prove that you sold a carpet to a party in this city and in stead of the original you delivered a cheaper rug of inferior quality. If you want to accept this challenge I have deposited at the German-American Bank $500 to guarantee the above statements, and to prove o the public that every word I have stated is the truth, and at the same time to show the people of Portland how honestly this Jealous and reliable firm, as they call themselves, have done business in Portland for the last four years. Now, Mr. Jealous Firm. It's up to you. You have jollied and patted the people on their backs for all these years. Put up 'your $500 now to cover my above statement, and show the public how honest you are, otherwise shut up and don't Interfere with any Oriental Rug firm In this city for evermore. GEORGE JABOUR.
