Two BiT3 roK Consciesce Fund. Ira Thornton. 2 Boundary avenue, has squared all accounts with the Portland streetcar company. In a letter addressed to the railway company and delivered yesterday Thornton remitted 25 cents In stamps in payment of five rides he en Joyed on the merry-go-round at The Oaks tha company's amusement resort about two years a;o and for which he did not ray at the time. Judging from the letter. Thornton apparently has become devout ly religious and complains that he cannot have any peace of mind until he has reimbursed the railway company of what his disturbed conscience has told him he defrauded the corporation. The missive accompanying the stamps was as follows: 'About two years ago I went to The Oaks grounds and took about four or five rides on the merry-go-round free of charge. I stole the rides. I want for giveness for It. The Lord God of Heaven and earth saved my soul and I want to make those things right what I made wrong that God may have glory in my life." Transferred to High Service. A number of districts on the East Side have Just been transferred from the low pressure water service to the high service with good results. The Holladay-Irvlng-ton district, where there had been water shortage for a long- time, has been changed to the high service; also the high district on Hawthorne avenue at East Twenty-eighth street, where the low gervicu did not furnish sufficient water. There are some other places where this cannot be done, such as Mayor Gates Addition beyond East Twenty-eighth street. Wastage of water continues In all directions. A count made within a radius of a few blocks on the East Side at midnight disclosed 19 streams of water running full force. In numerous dis tricts the came sort of wastage Is going on every night. The upper reservoir, which holds 16.000.000 gallons of water, drops down rapidly every evening when Irrigation begins. So great is the draw from this reservoir that by watching closely the water can be seen to recede. Recovers From Smalxjox. Rev. A. A. "Winter, pastor of the First United Evargellcal Church. East Tenth and Sherman streets, who has been ill of smallpox, has returned home from the De tention Hospital, having fully re covered. His wife and child have had a very mild attack of the disease. The family will be quarantined for about ten days longer. Rev. Mr. Winter probably contracted the disease at the home of A. L. Keenan, where he went with 12 members of the Sunday school board one evening. It turned out that Mr. Keenan's little son had a slight attack, so Biigni that the nature of the illness was not recognised. None of the others con tracted the diseafs?. Of the many who called to see Rev. Mr. Winter only Pro fessor D. M. Metiger. of Dallas College, was infected, and he is now at the De tention Hospital suffering from a mild attack. Investigating Fire. Deputy District Attorney J. J. Fitxgerald has Instituted an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fire which occurred a few night ago at Creston, a small point Just outside the city limits on the Mount Bcott carllne in which four stories were destroyed and damages incurred to the amount of JSrtiO. Several subpenas were served yesterday on people residing in the vicinity who are supposed to have witnessed suspicious actions on the part of some of the Ore victims both before and after the flames were started. The belief thai the fire was of Incendiary origin is openly voiced by a large number of Creston people, and it Is shared by Mr. Fitzgerald and others who have looked Into the affair. Unpleasant charges are heard against a certain firm. No official action has been taken as yet In the District Attorney's office in the case. Funeral, or Jacob G roc e. The funeral of Jacob Groce, who died at his home in Sell wood. August 4. was held yesterday afternoon from Hemstock's Chapel, Bast Thirteenth street and Umatilla avenue. Interment was In Multnomah Cemetery. Rev. Lewis F. Smith conducted the serv ices. Mr. Groce was born In Pennsyl vania SS years ago, came to Oregon in J, and had lived in Sellwood 23 years, where he was well respected by all who knew him. He is survived by his widow with whom he had lived for 61 years. The following children survive: Mrs. Harry 9. Upham. Mrs. Mary J. Freeman: John, Benton, clement, Amos and Ernest Groce. of Portland. Completing Another Bio Fill- The fill on East Alder street, between East Water and Grand avenue, four blocks and the intersections, Is practically completed. This fill was mado mainly by dump wagons and with dirt from the basement of buildings on both sides of the river. From the basement of the proposed Homeopathic Hospital at East Second and Hassalo streets several thousand cubic yards of material were used in East Alder street. As the lowlands through which East Alder runs is solid ground there has been little or. settling. The embankment Is 1000 feet long. Fvneral. or Alfred EA6TES.

Members of the Portland Commer cial Club have been requested by the board of governors for an expression of their views with regard to the ad visability of increasing the monthly dues from $2.50 to 4. In the circular which has Just been Issued by the board of governors, atten tion la called to the fact that dues in similar clubs throughout the country are 5 per month. The management, however, believes that the needs of the club can be met by making the monthly dues 4. owing to the club's large mem bership, which Is now In the neighbor hood of 1400. The proposed increase, as stated In the circular, is rendered advisable by reason of the fact that the expense of furnishing the new quarters ha been heavier than was expected. Comparatively few of the club mem bers took any part In the financing of the building. The few who subscribed for bonds were called upon to assume n.viiu.. Fa. iha new furnishln BTS. amounting to about 132,000, which amount Is being carried by them. These notes are nearly due and will be paid, but the management wishes to provide . , .

WANT BRIDGE South Portland Residents Se lect New Site. FAVOR SHERMAN STREET Crossing In North End Is Also Under Consideration and Choice May Depend on Report of Engineer Modjeskl. South Portland people are circulating a petition for a high bridge across the Willamette River at Sherman street, or some point near that thoroughfare, and they intend soon to hold a mass meeting, at which the matter will be publicly dis cussed. Councilman Cottel and Thomas Gulnean, as well as many others, are In terested In the project, and It is said the whole southern section of the city Is favorable to the plan. This new project appears to be In direct opposition to the proposed high bridge across the Willamette River at a point Just north of the Alblna Ferry-slip. In North Portland. The latter was started by the residents of North East Side sec tion, and was Introduced before the City Council by Councilman Menefee, three months ago. at which time the Council appropriated J5000 to pay Ralph Modjeskl, an expert engineer, to make a report. He Is to report on the feasibility and prac ticability of a high bridge over and a tube under the river. City Engineer Taylor said yesterday that Modjeskl should have his report in before long, although the project Is a big one, requiring great care. As the two projects must be considered. It may take a month or so yet. It is said. Mr. Modjeskl secured data for the work be fore leaving for Chicago, when the con tract was first entered into by the city. Great interest centers In his report, as It Is thought probable that. If the city de cides to take any action towards either one of the projects. It will follow his recommendations. Thus, If he favors a high bridge. It will probably be the choice of the people; If he says a tube Is best, that will likely be adopted, in case anything is done. The North Portland high bridge would Involve many problems, one of which Is the matter of navigation and another the fact that the bridge would have to run far back into the residence sections at both approaches. "The people of South Portland want a high bridge, and if it is built at Sher man street or near there, the high banks on either side of the river will do away with the necessity of running it back far and will materially reduce the expense," said Councilman Cottel. "Another thing to be considered Is that, with the bridge at that point, navigation would not be Impeded, as it will, if the bridge is put at the point suggested in North Portland. We are going at this business with a de termination to win, end we believe the people will vote us a bridge In South Portland." REALTY ON SOUND BASIS Outside Investor Pleased With Pur chase In Portland. 'The minute Eastern people learn of the matchless opportunities for Invest ment In Portland, they will begin to pour their capital Into this commun ity." declared Phil K. Gordon, of San Francisco, Pacific Coast passenger agent of the Washington-Sunset Route, yesterday. "There are wonder ful opportunities for profitable invest ment in your city and the valuations are sane and conservative. I read of the sale of property at Sixth and Washington streets the other day for $250,000. Equipped with a modern building that property should net its owner a monthy Income of probably $5000, or 6 per cent Interest on an in vestment of $1,000,000. Property In Portland at such values is unmistaka bly an attractive and desirable Invest ment." Mr. Gordon knows what he Is talk ing about, for he Is interested person ally in business here. He is the owner AMAZING FEAT BY SIRRONJE, VAUDEVILLE HANDCUFF QUEEN Shaekled and Placed In Goods Box Which Is Nailed Tight and Bound fcy Experts, She Escapes in 21 Minutes. x BT ARTHUR A. GREENE. IT IS not often that a vaudeville act Is of sufficient importance to war rant more than passing notice, but the performances of the young woman who calls herself Sirronje, who Is ap pearing at the Grand this week, are of such a mystifying character as to single her out for distinction from among the thousands who make their living by entertaining the public wljh "turns." Sirronje, who Is in private life Mrs. William Norris, is advertised as "the Handcuff Queen" or something equally regal, and her specialty Is to do all kinds of seemingly Impossible stunts with shackles and handcuffs. The town has been scoured this week for wrist and leg irons which might defy her cunning, but -she has invariably had the laugh on the peace officers and others who have been Interested suf ficiently to fit them on her at her daily performances. Her star trick, however, Js to extri cate herself from a locked and bound trunk, after being thoroughly bound before she is placed inside. Last night something unusually startling was billed and the Grand was packed with Doubting Thomases. A committee of expert packers from the Meier & Frank store, who had no possible Interest In the affair except to pit their skill against hers, was engaged. The pack ers brought a heavy dry goods box to the theater, the box being of the com mon or garden variety, made of Inch boards, securely bound with strap iron bands over the Joints. The box was thoroughly examined by disinter ested persons and then the top was removed by the packers. Sirronje was then handcuffed' and placed inside. The box was so small that she was compelled to sit in a cramped and painful position, but she - ...-AmA' o nH made no c n m n 1 rt 1 n t WUB - - The men then proceeded to nail down the Ud. Apparently each of them tried to outdo the other in driving 10 and 16-penny nails into that case. Not content with the lid. they renailed the four sides of the box until it seemed that nothing short of a stick of dyna mite could force it open. Then the strap iron was nailed securely and coll after coil of rope bound around the box and drawn as tight as brawny men could tie the knots. Sirronje and the box were then placed In the cabinet and the orchestra started playing an endless tune. Those of us who were "In back" with in a few feet of the cabinet began to get nervous after ten minutes had EXPERT WATCH REPAIRING Our Watch-Repairing Department la growing larger every day.

He told me afterward he was mortally afraid she would faint In the intense heat of her narrow prison. More minutes passed and he told a funny story to keep the audience patient and to steady his own nerves. Nineteen minutes passed and we were doing a little quiet betting that she would never make ij and Mr. Norris began to hedge with the audience by admitting the possi bility of defeat. After 21 minutes there was a sudden stirring of the curtains and an Instant later Sirronje, completely exhausted and on the point of collapse, was helped from the top of the box where she was dis covered sitting when the curtains were parted. The box was then thoroughly examined by the committee and found to be intact. Every nail In place and every coil of rope Identically as they had left it. Those who had seen all the cabinet tricks of Herman and all the other mod ern wizards were completely stumped. Some trick had a part In It, of course, for no human being could have forced that box open from the Inside by sheer strength, and Sirronje doesn't weigh more than 110 pounds. She has performed the trick all over the country, but admitted to me after it was over that she had never been quite so severely tested be fore. It was nothing short of amazing to the layman, and the men who fastened up the packing-case were the most mysti fied of all. Sirronje Is a delicate little woman, ap parently in her early 20s. She Is any thing but the type of woman one would expect to see doing a thing of that sort. She has been giving these exhibitions professionally for three years, having for some time before that confined her ex periments to the entertainment of her friends. She has an uncle who Is Inspec tor of police In Chicago, and through him her interest in trifling with manacles was first aroused. She is a woman of education and refinement, and her speech is entirely free from vaudeville patois. She is not In the business because she particularly loves It. nor for her health, but receives a decidedly princely stipend Physically Sirronje Is not strong enough to knock a baseball from home plate to the Ditcher's box. but If by any chance she should ever be imprisoned in our forbidding old city prison she would proo ably push the side of the building over into the street and after carefully push ing it back again make good her escape. She Is a trickster of course, making no claims to anything more supernatural than an appetite for ice cream sundaes, but she is a puzzle and ao mistake. Fulton and Ellis, However, Will Probably Speak at Sessions Which Open This Morning. A serious disappointment Is in store for the delegates to the Presidential Postmas ters' Association which will begin Its first annual convention In the rooms of the Portland Commercial Club at 10 o'clock this morning. It will be the an nouncement that E. T. Bushnell, chief clerk of the Bureau of the First Assistant Postmaster-General, will not be able to attend and deliver an address on "The Postal Savings Bank." Postmaster Jt W. Minto, president of the association, was yesterday notified that Mr. Bushnell was in a hospital at Butte, Mont., having been thrown out of an automobile Wednesday night and sustained a broken leg. In the absence of Mr. Bushnell, however, his places on the programme may possibly be supplied by talks by Senator Charles W. Fulton and Congressman W. R. Ellis, who have written Mr. Minto that they will probably be present. There is every In dication of a good attendance at the two days' conference by the 39 Presidential Postmasters of the state. ' Several of these Postmasters from a considerable dis tance reached Portland yesterday. In cluded among them were: J. R. Casey, of Ashland; E. Miller, of Lakeview, and A. M. Woodford, of Medford. B. W. John son, of Corvallis, secretary of the Associa tion, also arrived yesterday to assist Mr. Minto in completing final arrangements for the convention. The visiting officials from the Postmaster-General's department, officers of the Oregon Association and a few friends, including Senator Fulton and Congress man Ellis will be the guests of Mr. Minto at luncheon this noon at fhe Portland Commercial Club. The session of the convention this morn ing will be devoted to the preliminary work of. arranging the details of the con vention which will be convened In earnest at J:30 o'clock this afternoon. In addition to the address of welcome by Tom Rich ardson, manager of the Commercial Club, and the response by Postmaster T. P. Randall, of Oregon City, the programme for the afternoon will include an address, "Postoffice Management," by Ed. Hos tetler, of The Dalles. Another speaker will be R. B. Mundelle, of Indiana, who represents the Bureau or the Third As sistant Postmaster-General. TO DEVISE BANKING LAW Committee Named by A. T. Buxton, Master State Grange. State Master Austin T.

The farmers' order throughout the state made great gains last year largely through a like contest. Better literary programmes were gotten up and attendance increased everywhere. VIEWS WIN CONVENTIONS Attractive Oregon Scenes Will Be Shown Insurance Man. On several occasions the series of Columbia River views, owned and em ployed by the Harrlman lines for pub licity purposes, has proved a potent factor in determining the choice of Pacific Coast cities for convention pur poses. They were recently exhibited at the National convention of the grocers with the result that Portland was selec ted as the place for holding the 1909 convention. Later they were shown to the delegates at the convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and again their mute persuasiveness con quered and the Hibernians voted to come to this city with taeir convention next year. The same set of pictures has now ' f Smart 1908 Fall Styles arriving daily; on dis play, they prove that we're keeping to our purpose to supply the finest clothes possible to produce.

An effort will be made by the delegates from this state to secure the 1909 con vention for Portland and they could think of no. stronger argument in sup port of their Invitation than the mere exhibition of these splendid views.
