UNIVERSITY PARK and PORTSMOUTH The Local Happenings of These Lively Suburban Points Carefully Compiled Each Week By a Special Reporter, for the Information and'Edificatlon of The Review Readers and the General Public. The Rev. Naticl was In evidence at the Park, Monday. Dr. Thornton's new home on Flsk street Is very nearly compiled. Mrs. Jcnnlson has moved Into one of Mrs. Gary's residences on Olin street. Geo. Hemstock is having a very attractive sign painted on his show windows. Mrs. Wurd of linene, has been visiting Mrs, Schumaker the past week. M. 0. Paulk, of the firm of I'aulk and Merrill, is gradually im tirnvimr from his attack of the urin. 1 " Tl H. A. Ross, has otieiieil a shoe rciinirlni' shoii on Portsmotilh nvc title In the Artisan Temple Huildlnj,' Old Club Hall has now not four stilts of rooms filled with house kccjers, TltiiiK-S are taking on a lively air around there now. Rev. V. P. Phelon delivered a masterly and eloquent discourse on .Sunday In the Holy Cross church. The reverend orator ketit his near ers spell IkhiihI. A. A. Hrldi'.es. brother of M. M. Hrldges, left last Sunday for Port Worth, Texas, Ills home, alter t long and profitable visit among Ore gott relatives. The residence of Mrs. htnrr, on the Ixitileviiril, near Plsk street was broken into Monday night. The cellar door was pried eii, but the roblcrs could net no fttther and had to satisfy themselves with some fruit and vegetables. It is imitilyim: to tlie tteopie o Portsmouth to know that after Match ist the Portsmouth Pharm acv wilt have a niiilit clerk. This lively enterprise has made wonderful growth, and the matia ger is to Ik: praised for his efforts to please his patrons. The shingle mill has changed its tinme. It will be known heteafter as the University Lumber & Shin I'le Co. Mr. Olson has tesigued Mr. Croiiau paying him 10,000 for his share, It has now a fotcu o over twenty men and, it is said runs In first class shut.. Mr. Van Ness is still in chaige. Mrs. Pritehatd. of Portsmouth, Is going to have six lots domed 11111 pltiutctl Willi all kinds 01 rotes. When one thinks of the imp rtauce of this act, they do not wonder Portland is the "city of roses' If more of us would follow Mrs. Pritchard s example, it would not only make our homes nunc beauti fill and valuable, but our lives brighter and happier. Some weeks ago workmen dredging for the Union Oil com puny at the fool of Portsmouth avenue um-atthed a tusk much re semblliig that of a mammoth. Prof, I.oug classified it us such and has a siK-eimeu of it. It is quite a mystery how It got theie as it is not known to have Ikvii the haunts of the mighty mammoth, Natuic has nioie svciets and mysteiles thuu any human mind can grasp. At the io:,io seivlees next Sun day In the Holy Cioss chinch, there will Ik; the blessing of the "Stations".

Muiiiiiw 01 rtuuuiui Koooertes are of nightly occurence heie at present. Whats the matter of the Civic Improvement League getting the cur of Chief Hunt and let the back yurds go for a while. Tuesday night two residents of the Park narrowly eseujvd with their lives on the walk up fiom the shingle mill. A volley of rocks and other debits was Initial from the University grounds iilmve by a party of young ruffians, presumably uimed at the steeping ear of a mimk-r of Jupanose lulmrs standing on a side truck lelow, Por nearly five iniuutes the Iwmkudmcut was kept up. Hud anyone of the boluders found its mark it would surely have killed. The cowurds made a hasty retreat when a cry for help wus raised by the two citizens. Civic Improvement The civic improvement com mittee of University Park are very thankful for theco-ojeration of the friends of reform. The ladies who circulated the jctitions for larger water mains received many cxpres sions of gratitude for their work. The committee realize that others have worked along these Unas in our community, and thereby light ened their labors, but civic im provement has gained n new im tetus in many cities and villages and Portland has caught some of the new Ideas and is pressing them on to her several suburbs. We are ki'liiiiimr n new era of improve ment and if we can work together, much good wilt be accomplished. What blesses one blesses all so this Is not a selfish work. There Is so much to do yet that one is almost tempted to be discouraged at times, underbrush to ,be cleared away, old fences that have long since failed to le of any benefit to lie torn down, streets graded, side walks built the removal of all rub bish and tincaiis ahl me, what shall we do with the old tincaiis. Let's all. stop throwing them out tiM)ii vacant lots or in streets or alleys. We do not realize we are in the limits of a large city with an ordinance prohibiting such care lessness. The committee thank those who are doing nil in their xwer to assist in tills work, and do not doubt but one and all will cuter heartily into (Ills spring cleaning when they realise the necessity of making this one of the most beau tiful submits of our great and grow ing city. Air. Kami's Thanks. In retmu for the vole cast for me in the Telegram contest, will say that I letmii many thanks for the k Induces shown me by the com iiiiiulty at large and esccially ul St. Johns and University Park. My votes have Ih-cii direct from the Kople. Not a cent has Ik.ch sieut by me or any of my friends towaids soliciting a single vote. If I Inn accepted an offer from a business man in town, I would have won out with thousands of votes to spare. I lemalii, truly yours J. R.

A Little Knocking. It has been stated upon reliable authority thut the report that Dr. Osier, who claims men foity years of aire are no lotmer useful and should be chloroformed at sixty, was jiersonally acquainted with Mayor Williams and Chief Hunt, is a myth, evidence to the contrary notwithstanding. Portland Is said to be looking for a real live man for mayor. In the hinguageof the slangist, do they mean to insinuate the present in cumbent is a "dead one" ? Rumor hath it that the criminal uentrv in and near this vicinity in sist that Portland's chief of police takes himself loo seriously. It may rain iu Portland quite a few drops, but hist season, if we re member correctly, the city moisten ed up some considerable from the Dull Run pipes. in any event when residents of the Peninsula de sired occasionally to brighten tip a bit from the marks of daily toll, they found It necessary to sit up a f the 11 L'ht and then chase the dew drops from the lawn -Into the wrinklcr. Hut the water ocuimis- sion may think we should be thank ful we have a sprinkler. A delegation of righteously indig nant citizens is suggested tis a ikjs- Itive necessity if Portland Peninsula residents wish to drink water this .summer. Walt uimhi uie commis sion, and with a "big stick," as our Teddy would do, and even call special session if necessary.
