A HANDSOME IIKSIDK.M K
A lli lcf Di'Nci'lplliin of T, L ( Illinium's
New Home.
The first ol last August the site of
Mr. T. L, ('Illinium's new residence on
Seventh street was a wilderness. Today
It la one of the best improved pieces of
property In the city and the new home
that has been erected there will be
occupied in about a month. The build
ing Itself la practically completed now.
Only the maiitelplecoe and furnishing
remain to be done.
Mr Charman'a roaidunce, which is
one of the neatest and beat constructed
in the city, occupies a square 2Ui4(l feet
and la two and a half atorlua high above
Hie basement, It Is a frame structure of
harmonious and pleasing architectural
design. The basement walla are of
brick on a stone foundation. It baa a
concrete floor and is divided Into laundry
laboratory, store room, boiler room and
closet, each of them being supplied with
the moat perfect appliances for the pur-
poaea intended to lie served . A stair
way leads up to the l.ltclien, between
which and the dining room on the east
aide of the house are the buttery and
china clistet with door awinging either
way.
The dining room la notable for Its
natural wood finishing. There are eight
kinds of wood set in panela around the
room myrtle, oak, maple, ash, walnut,
red wood, cedur and bird's eye pine. The
same kind of panel work extends up the
staircase from the front hall to the
second floor. On the west aide of the
house are two parlors connected by elid
ing doors ami back of them the library.
The second floor Is divided into cham
bers, closets and bath-room finished .in
natural fir and red wood. The attic Is in
one large room, off which Is a tank for
water supply.
An elevator runs from basement to
attic. A system of electric bells extends
throughout the bouse. The beating will
be by steam. The wlndowa are of plate
glaa with leaded stained glass above
and at the aidus of the upper sashes. All
walla are hard finished. Tho work
manship throughout la of the best and
none but the best materials have been
put into the building. It ia an entirely
creditable piece of work for White Bros.,
who have euperlntended the building
from atart to finish. The building site
i half a block on Jcftoraon street be
tween Seventh and Kighth. A large
amount of lllling was done to bring it to
Its present condition and a rock retain
ing wall nearly ten feet high waa
erected on the west side. The total
cost of the Improvement, including the
building of the rcldenc, will probably
exceed 7000. Mr. and Mra. Charnian
have one of the neatest and best ap
pointed homes in the city.
Tn Cot'NTr Uoad Suavar. Coun
ty Surveyor Smyth is out making
a preliminary survey for the Molalla
road, bis work thus tar having been con
fined to prospecting route for crossing
the Beaver creek canyon . I le has found
that the grade on the south side of
Heaver creek need not exceed throe per
cent. Coming this way from Beaver
the White ravine will afford an outlet
with a five per cent grade. Cahili's and
Mowland'a ravines are now being ex-
am'ned. It will be some days before
the surveyor is able to make his report
of the route.
J. Q. Adams's Cups and Saucers
The editor of the Brownsville Times says
that by the kindness of Mra. M. J
Wigle, on last Tuesday be was shown
the cups and saucers from which John
Qulncy Adams and his wife drank. They
were her grandfather and grandmother.
Mra. Wigle also has a solid silver mug
that was once owned by her great grand
mother, Mrs. John Adams. John Q.
Adams was the sixth president of the
United States, was elected in 18'.'5 and
served one term, going out of ollice sixty-
three years ago, and on account of those
cups and saucers once belonging to this
distinguished man and relative, Mrs.
Wigle may well feel proud of them. The
cups and saucors are solid silver, the cups
being plain and the saucers having some
neat engraving on them.

by a slight rumbling noise. In moat
places it was not unite so violent as the
shock experienced last fall though in
Borne instances it is reported as having
been worse. Boports from the country

turbance was quite general throught the
