CITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Paeties desiring ofilces In The Oregon
Ian building, may inquire or Portland
Trust Company of Oregon. 2o. 123 First
Btreet, or the superintendent In the build
ing. L.etteb3 From Far-Off Indiana. City
School Superintendent Pratt yesterday re
ceived, by express, a bundle of thick let
ters, written by pupils in the fifth grade
of the Columbia school, at Valparaiso,
Ind., and addressed to pupils of the same
grade in the schools here, with the ex
pectation of answers being made. The
scheme was originated by the teacher of
the fifth grade. The following extract
from one of the letters will be found in
teresting: "Our teacher thought it would
be Interesting to write, and we were de
lighted with the idea, as J think it will be
very nice to correspond with some one
way out West. This place Is not a large
city. There are not over 000 Inhabitants.
The Columbian school, which I attend, is
a brick buiiding, situated on a hill about
five squares from the courthouse. It con
tains six rooms besides the library. We
have a very nice library in our school and
we can get books every Friday, and we
often give entertainments for the benefit
of our library." The school directors in
Portland may get a hint from this. The
letters are all written In the straight-up
btyle of chirography, from which it is
judged that this style has been introduced
into the schools of Valparaiso. They are
all neatly written, without blots or blem
ishes, and the general style and com
position are very creditable to the fifth
grades. The advocates of the up-and-down
style of writing claim that It is the most
natural way, and that it is very difficult
to teach children to give their pot-hooks
the proper slant. There has been no
move, so far, to introduce it into the
schools here.
An Old Bill To Be Paid. An old bill
of the Edison General Electric Company
against the former city of East Portland
for ?2970 for wire, poles, etc., for the East
Side light plant has come to light. The
bill was presented for payment November
21, 1891. and the company now asks that
it be paid with interest at 8 per cent per
annum. The bill was first tendered to the
East Portland council, but was laid aside
during the agonies of consolidation. After
ward, it was presented to the common
council of the consolidated city, and there
was some demurring In regard to paying
overdue bills of the East Side, and the
bill was pigeon-holed. Then the Edison
company and the Thomson-Houston Com
pany consolidated their agencies in this
city, and there was a change In the man
agement, and the bill was overlooked In
the shuflle, and has only lately come to the
front again. The council referred it to
the city attorney, who has prepared a
report setting forth that the committee
on fire and water ordered the extras
charged In the bill, and that he has been
reliably informed that the material was
furnished, and he is of opinion that. If it
has not been paid for, the city will have
to pay for It.
InrnoviNo Third Street. A rather
feeble effort is being made to repair a
portion of Third street. The block be
tween Jefferson and Columbia has been
dressed up with crushed rock, and covered
with screenings, and rolled smooth. The
improvement ends at the block line on
Columbia and leaves an unimproved gap
of about three feet north of the cross
walk, in wnlch there are some nasty-looking
mud holes. The two blocks between
Jefferson and ATaln-vnre-to. be repaired in
the same " ay. but the block between
Columbia and Clay, which Is one of the
worjt on the street, being nothing but a
succession of chuck holes. Is not to be re
paired at present. The repairs made cost
about 5100 a block, and will make the
blocks fixed very good for a year or two.
To show how closely contractors figure
on street work now. It may be stated
that Bays &. Jeffery, who got the con
tract for the block between Jefferson and
Columbia, were underbidden 8 cents on
one and 9 cents on the other of the two
blocks between Main and Jefferson.
Dr. Brown's Lecture. It will be a
great privilege to hear the next of the star
course lectures to be given tonight by
Rev. A. J. Brown. D. D., in the Taylor
street Methodist Episcopal church. The
lecture is an entirely new one, to which
Dr. Brown has given much thought and
Investigation. The subject is "Marcus
Whitman the Story of Pioneer Oregon."
This Is a matter of great interest to pio
neers, many of whom are expected to be
present. It will be Instructive and of
benefit to the pupils of Portland schools.
The outline of the story is of deep inter
est, and as presented in its completeness
by Dr. Brown will be intensely Interesting
as well as Instructive. There will be on
and about the platform a cutting from
Whitman's famous apple sapling; a
model of the first Presbyterian church
built on the Pacific coast; portraits of
famous Indian chiefs and prominent pio
neers, with other Interesting relics and
mementos. The organ recital will be by
Mrs. E. M. Bergen.
School Board's Quarters. The new
quarters of the school board and school
clerk, in the city hall, have at last been
finished and' furnished. A platform has
been placed at one side of the Toom to
raise the chairman's desk above the
others; a new carpet has been laid; the
extension of the counter is completed, and
a -neat iron railing and gate are placed
between the counter and the wall, inclos
ing the entrance to the vault. Two con
venient rooms adjoining have been com
fortably fitted up for the city superintend
ent and his assistant, The rooms ad
joining on the west side of the building
have been leased by the county for the
county treasurer and cchool superintend
ent, and the counters and other fixtures
are being got ready, and these officials
will moo In In a short time.
Winner at all the great fairs Dr.
Price's Cream Baking Powder.
Failed to Pat a Balance. Mrs. Louise
Schrooder Is to have a hearing before
Justice Gelslcr, on a charge of larceny by
bailee. She evaded arrest yesterday by
eluding the officer sent to Albino, after
her, but her attorney promises to have
"her in court when wanted. G. W. Tollls
claims that last December he gave Mrs.
Schroeder 51S0 to keep for him, and last
month, when ho demanded the money, the
woman said she had used the money to
apply on the payment of her fire insur
ance premium. Since then she has paid
all the money back, except $13. and this
amount Pollis now wants to collect. The
matter will probably be amicably arranged
without prosecuting the woman, who is
well advanced In yecrs.
Blames It on Bsn Barnst. M. Han
sen, a shoemaker, living on Yamhill
street, charged by Ben Barney, the spirit
ualist, with threatening to kill, had a
hearing before Justice Gelsler yesterday.
Hanson has lost his wife, who left him.
and he thinks it Is all on account of
spiritualism, and he also holds Barney
not entirely blameless for his marital
troubles. Hansen was discharged, but at
one time was so excited that the court
had to admonish him to refrain from
abusing Barney, who asrerts that he is
willing to assist the authorities in running
the destroyer of Hansen's happiness out
of town.
A Thrilling Lscttre will be given
tonight in the Taylor-street Methodist
Episcopal church, by Rev. Dr. A. J.
Brown. "Marcus Whitman the Story of
Pioneer Oregon," will be replete with
novel and instructive features, and en
tirely new. This lecture will be educa
tional, and school children will be ad
mitted for H cents each. The organ re
cital will be given by Mrs. E. M. Bergen
and will be very enjoyable.
The Channing Club. A large number J
or tne lading members of the unitarian
church in this city, and others Interested
In liberal Christianity, met at the Hotel
Portland last night and organized the
Channing Club. The formation of the
club is an outgrowth of the meeting held
several weeks ago, and the name was
chosen In honor of the deceased Dr. Will
iam Ellery Channing, the well-known Uni
tarian, and one of the founders of the
church in the United States. The officers
of the club elected were as follows: Pres
ident, David P. Thompson; first vice-president.
E. W. Tallant. of Astoria; second
vice-president, E. C. Stuart: secretary.
Rev. E. M. Wilbur; treasurer, F. H. Page;
executive committee. A. H. Morgan, C. F.
Jewett, A. F. Sears, C. H. Woodard,
G. G. Gammans, C. F. Swlgert. At the
dinner following. 63 members of the newly
organized club sat down. The table was
handsomely decorated with potted plants,
violets, smilax and cut flowers. The topic
of discussion for the evening was "Mu
nicipal Responsibility," and W. Byron
Daniels, ex-mayor of Vancouver, was the
principal speaker. His address was earn
est and forceful, and was closely listened
to throughout. Other speeches were made
on the same topic by C. H. Woodard,
C. J. Schnabel. T. L. Eliot, B. S. Pague,
W. M. Gregory, Judge E. W. Tallant,
editor of the Astorian; Albert T. Smith
and D. P. Thompson. The last two spoke
particularly of the effort made by the
Committee of One Hundred to secure
municipal reform. The meeting broke up
at 10 o'clock.
Fruit Buds Swell. Fruit Commis
sioner H. E. Dosch says the warm
weather has caused thVfrult buds to be
gin swelling. An examination of orchards
shows that there is a very fine setting of
fruit buds on trees of all kinds, espe
cially peaches and apricots, and the pros
pects are good for a splendid fruit crop
if no cold rains occur when the pollen
is flying. In transplanting a lot of goose
berry, raspberry and currant bushes, he
finds that they are all putting forth
shoots, which is something unusual so
early In the season. Every indication
points to an early spring, and, of course,
there will be the usual fears that it may
be too early. The worst danger to fruit
in this state is not from frost, but from
rams when the trees are In bloom, which
prevent the pollen from doing its duty
and the bees from helping in the work.
Mr. Dosch has a neighbor who keeps 120
hives of bees, and, when his orchard is in
bloom, they make a humming there which
sounds like a cyclone coming.
The Fine Was Onlt for Looks. A
number of persons at the courthouse were
talking yesterday regarding the fine of
$1000 Imposed upon Steeves, and the
chances of his ever having to pay It, and
the prevailing opinion was that it is prac
tically of no effect. It was agreed that
provided Steeves obtains a new trial, all
of the proceedings up to date are set
aside, sentence and all, and this does away
with the fine. In the event the supreme
court shall refuse Steeves another trial
and Steeves should be sent to the peni
tentiary, for 15 years, Steeves would not
offer to pay the fine, and the state, to
collect it, would have to execute against
Sleeves' property, if he has any, to collect
the fine. The question then is. Would the
state proceed to this extreme to collect
the $1000, and has Steeves got the property
to pay It with? If he served 15 years In
the penitentiary, he would certainly not
still be held there until he paid $1000. Any
governor would remit this fine after serv
ing full Imprisonment.
In Memort of Gilbert McGinn. Yes
terday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, a meeting
of the Bar Association was held at the
courthouse. Judge Stephens presiding.
Sanderson Reed was secretary. The ob
ject of the gathering was to take action
appropriate to the memory of Gilbert J.
McGinn, deceased. Committees were ap
pointed as- follows: Committee to act in
conjunction with the family at the fu
neral, Albert Abraham, John D. Mann
and H. TV. Hogue; committee to escort
body -from the train, John F. Logan,
George C. Stout, A. F. Sears, jr., A, L.
Keenan; Charles N. Wait, Guy G. Willis;
committee on resolutions, J. F. Boothe,
T. Brooke White, Charles J. Schnabel, W.
D. Fenton, Sanderson Reed. The meet
ing then adjourned until Saturday at
1:30 P. M., when the committee on res
olutions will report The funeral will
probably be held Sunday.
To Extend a Dike. Proposals for con
structing and repairing pile, brush and
stone dikes In Tillamook bay were opened
yesterday at the office of Captain Symons.
United States engineers. There were 12
proposals submitted, the lowest being that
of Charles Ewing, of this city, $13,355 75.
The next lowest were those of William
Jacobson, of this city, $13,C40, and the
American Bridge & Contract Company,
$15.623 75. The highest was that of G.
Nolan, of Tillamook, $33,GS0. The differ
ence between the highest and lowest bids
would be a snug fortune for a man these
hard times. The other bids ransed from
$16,000 to $18,000. The work to be done
consists principally of an extension of
the junction bar dike. There Is about
$20,000 of an appropriation available for
the proposed Improvements.
What is the secret of success in the
kitchen? Dr. Price's Baking Powder.
Question of Read's Sanity. The com
mission of physicians appointed to ex
amine Preacher J. C. Read as to his
sanity, consisting of Doctors Josephi,
Panten and Lane, Is still at work. Satur
day they examined Read himself, and
yesterday intimate acquaintances of the
minister were witnesses before the med
icos. The witnesses were strictly ques
tioned concerning anything they may at
any time have noticed about the preacher
which appeared unusual and that would
denote him to be mentally unsound. A
number of persons from Oregon City
were among those who apeared before the
board. Read's son called to see him yes
terday, and his wife is a dally visitor.
Read's brother, Rev. J. C. H. Read, of

John T. Stewart Insane. Mr. John T.
Stewart, formerly mayor of East Port
land, and at one time a bright business
man of this city. Is In custody at the
central police station on a charge of in
sanity. About one year ago, Stewart
was released from the asylum after a
confinement of several months. His men
tal derangement has again assumed such
form as to necessitate his being put un
der restraint, and today he will have an
examination before a medical board. It
seems now that his mind Is so shattered
that there is little hope for his again re
covering his reason.

Kelhher, who, for the past three years,
has been an assistant in the weather bu
reau office In this city, has been trans

THEY'LL HELP EACH OTHER
Chiefs Minto anil Rokcm Arrive nt
nil Understanding.
During the time that Chief of Police
Rogers, of Seattle, has been In the city he1
and Chief Mlnto have discussed many
plans for co-operation, with a view to
keeping track of known criminals. For
years house burglars In Portland
have managed to slip out of town with
their plunder, and escape before the police
authorities are aware that a crime has
been committed. Similar crimes have been
committed In Seattle, with the same re
sult. While, almost in every instance, the
detectives know to a certainty just who
the guilty parties are, they cannot hope
to secure a conviction until they unearth
the plunder, and they can seldom find the
plunder. Chief Minto believes that much
Portland plunder is disposed of on the
Sound, and Chief Rogers Is Inclined to be
lieve that Seattle property Is sold here. As
police correspondence between the two cit-
Is has hitherto been rather vague and un
satisfactory, the detective forces of both
cities have been very much handicapped
In locating stolen property.
Now Chiefs Minto and Rogers have ar
ranged to carry on a daily correspondence,
keeping each other thoroughly posted on
the movements of known criminals, and a
description of the stuff they and their
"pals" dispose of In pawn shops and second-hand
stores. It Is just thlacli:3 of
men that require the employment of large
and efficient detective forces. An experi
enced detective is familiar with every man
who has served a term in the state peni
tentiary knows his features, his haunts,
habits and associates, and can, on the in
stant, give his criminal history. Habitual
criminals appear to increase in numbers,
despite the vigilance of the police. Chief
Minto remarked yesterday that it costs
the county annually far more for the prose
cution of criminals who have been pre
viously convicted and pardoned out than
for all other expenses of the criminal court
combined, and the records bear him out In!
his statement. Once a man has been
through the mill of criminal prosecution,
he knows just what to do, and he is just
twice as hard to convict a second time.
"The whole trouble lies in the inade
quacy of our criminal laws, and the utter
failure of our penitentiary system," said
Chief Rogers, in discussing the matter.
"Ourwhole system of prosecuting and pun
ishing crime tends to the making of habit
ual criminals. Many a fine cracksman was
led into the business through his forced as
sociation with old hands at the business.
The penitentiary of the present day is no
place for young men who have been for
the first time convicted of a felony. They
are at once thrown Into the society of
criminals of the worst type, who not only
brag of their exploits, but who are will
ing to initiate the new-comer into the mys
teries of their craft. They discuss plans
for raids and robberies, and even draw dia
grams of their work. It is very interest
ing. The young thief soon becomes inter
ested, and learns very rapidly, so that
when he finally secures his freedom he is
thoroughly equipped for desperate work,
and has a liking for it.
"I would have three grades of peniten
tiary life, and keep them very separate
and distinct The first is the reform school,
for youths of tender years; the second the
reformatory, for men who commit first
offenses, and third, the penitentiary prop
er, for habitual criminals. I would have
habitual criminals put out of the way for
life, and define as a habitual criminal one
who has been twice convicted of a felony.
On the first conviction let the criminal go
to the reformatory, and on the second, to
the penitentiary for life, if the court thinks
it best. They are no use in the world,
and will continue to commit crime so long
as they are at large.
"Then I would make a second conviction:
of a misdemeanor a felony. Under the
present Washington law a person who
steals any sum smaller than $30 is only
guilty of petit larceny a misdemeanor. A
man can be a thief all his life, and yet, by
keeping within the limit of petit larceny,
escape serious punishment, and retain his
pewer to vote at the polls. The system is
all wrong."

IB
ANSWER. TO A MISLEADING ADVER
TISEMENT. Time to Chicago, Union Paclflo Sys
tem. Leave Portland daily at 7:00 P. M. Ar
rive at Chicago fourth morning, at 8:45
A M. Time via Union Pacific to Chicago,
83 hours and 45 minutes.
Time via next quickest line: Leave
Portland 9:00 A. M. Arrive at Chicago
7:53 A. M., fourth morning. Time to Chi
cago, 92 hours and 55 minutes.
Passengers will thus see that the time
to Chicago via the Union Pacific sys
tem Is 9 hours ad 10 minutes quicker
than via the next quickest line.
Via the next quickest line as well as
via all other lines, changes of cars are
necessary in going to -Chicago.
Via the Union Pacific no change of cars
to Chicago.
The Union Pacific-was the first trans
continental line by some years to Intro
duce steam heat In the heating of Its
cars.
The Union Pacific Is the only line out of
Portland that has equipped its trains with
the celebrated Plntsch light, making its
cars at night most brilliant.
Remember, via the Union Pacific no
change of cars to Chicago, steam heat,
Pintsch light, the fastest time by many
hours and the lowest rates.
If time is money to you, why leave for
the East in the morning at 9 o'clock,
when you can remain in Portland until
7:00 P. M. and reach Chicago within a few
minutes of the time of the train that
left 10 hours earlier?

A CARD.
We have completed our inventory and
closed our books for ISM. We wish to
thank our f rlend3 for their kind patronage,
and take pride In stating that our trade,
since removing to our new store, corner
Third and Oak streets, has been far ahead
or our most sanguine expectations, it
proves that the public appreciates honest
values and fair dealing. Our aim has
been and will be to give good, reliable
clothing at reasonable prices. We are
making at our mill in Albany lines of
neat, desirable patterns In cheviots, cassi-
meres and tweeds for spring and summer
trade. We have also placed our advance
orders for the latest effects in imported
fabrics. These, as well as our own make
of goods, will be made In regular, short
and stout, long and slim, and extra sizes,
enabling us to fit any one. Our country
order trade by samples has Increased so
that we were obliged to open a separate
department for same, and we send sam
ples and cuts of all lines, with plain rules
for measurement, free to any address.
This coming season we Jntend to devote
more attention to our "boys and children's
department, and shall carry full lines of
novelties and staples. Our uniform de
partment has been a .great success. We
poulDDed the Orearon ITztlonal Guard. Port
land military band;- Oregon Soldiers
Home, American District Telegraph Com
pany, Pacific Postal Telegraph Company,
reform school, United States llfesaving
service and many others. We are pre
pared to submit bids lor uniforms for any
organization, as our electric factory is
complete in every respect. We employ
white labor at both factory and mill, and
the money paid us for clothing remains
on the coast
To make room for our spring stock, we
have decided to allow a discount of 10 per
cent on every article in our stock, includ
ing four lines of Stein-Bloch Co.'s blue
and black extra-long kersey overcoats,
which were delayed In transit As our
prices were reasonable before the cut,
an extraordinary opportunity Is offered
for a short time. For the same reason we
offer In our custom-tailoring department
to make suits to order in cheviots, tweeds
and cassimere3 for $18. and pants for $1 60.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Those two advertisements In yesterday's
Oregonlan to which there were no names
signed were from our office. Sometimes
in the rush of business we are so much
crowded for time that we overlook a little
matter of this kind; we have directed The
Oregonlan after this, wnen manuscript
comes into their office to which there is
no name signed, to just charge to our ac
count and sign our name to it This or
der does not apply to spring poetry. Spring
is too near at hand for us to take the
chances. DeLASHMUTT & SON,

ABOUT CliOTHlTlG?
Yes; they're talking about it, and about
our clothing, too. Well they may be, for
there Is nothing in Portland better worth
talking about. To have the weather suit
you, you must be suited for it from our
stock. Two points about our clothing
.stand out blazingly visible, like Mount
Hood the style and value. There's no mis
taking the fashionableness of our suits
any more than there is the economy of
buying a good article at our figures. In
buying a suit get something that won't
need to be duplicated to get you through
the season without looking seedy.
