in the meeting on Oiv;, :i soil mo
other tlay of a brother and sister who
had been separated more than three
score, years. There iiave been num
erous cases since the opening of tlie
Lewis and (Jbrk Exposition where
relatives Ions parted have como to
gether unexpectedly, but it lias re
mained for Ulurles II. Uox and li is
sister to break all records up to date
in tho matter of lent,' periods between
moorings.
In Juno. 1844, Mrs. Susan B. Mel
rlrum parted from her brother in Dos
Moines county, Iowa, and n year
Inter, with husband and children,
joumeved across the plains toward
the setting sun until Bhe reached Ore
gon Oity, whore tho family docided
to locate permanently, and here Mrs.
Moldrum lias abided ever since, pay
ing little bond to tho cycle of years,
until now, at the dawn, almost of a
century, the one whom she left 'as
a rosy-oheeked youth upon the old
homestead in what was thou one of
the far " Western states, " comes into
hor life again, like the visitation of
Father Time, and the one whom he
remembered Jin the wiusomoness of
early matronly grace is found sur
rounded by great-grandchildren older
than the brother whom she had loft
61 years before.
While the brothor mid sister main
tained an intermittent oommuuicatoin
sufficient to keep them in touch with
each other's whereabouts, they have
nevor mot since the day when they
parted until a short time ago, when
he decided to leave his home in
Platteville, Grant county, Wisconsin,
and take a tri;; to Jregou, where ho
could visit the Fair, and hunt up some
of bis relatives at tho same time.
Although 8ii years of age on Now
Years day be looks 20 years younger.

S. Moore, while one of her grand
daughters is the wife of David
Thompson, prominently ideuMiied
with the political history ,,of Oregon,
and, another is Mrs. Sarah MeCown.

GOOD PROGRESS MADE.
Excavation For Pedestrian Subway
Nearly Completed.
Southern Pacific Company is mak
ing excellent progress in the construc
tion of the undergrade crossing at
Fourth street, to connect with the
stairs loading up to the top of the
bluff. Nosrly all of the dirt has been
taken out from under the tracks and
a temporary support has been made
for the ties and rails. The dirt is
hauled by teams to Main street, be
tween Eleventh and Twelfth and
there dumped under the street, mak
ing a much needed fill. Some work
has been done on the underground
team crossing at Third street,, but it
is evidently the intention of the com
pany to complete ouo orossing before
. work is fairly started on another.
The overhead crossings at Soventh and
Eight streets will be left until the
last.
" PENALTY TOO SEVERE.
Minimum Fine For Burning Slashings
Without Permit Is $100.
Leadiug attorneys of this city ex
press the belief that the penalty for
violations of the law prohibiting set
ting fires to slashings without a per
mit from th county olerk's office,
is altogether too severe. The min
imum fine is $100, or one month's im
prisonment in the connty jail, and
the maximum $1000 fine or one year's
imprisonment.
