CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Parties desiring offices in The Oregon ton bulldinc. may inquire of Portland Trust Company of Oregon. No. 123 First street, or the superintendent in the build lag. Bettering the Finn Service. The board of fire commissioners have author ized a, number of changes in the location of the apparatus of the department, and Chief Buchtel is very busy having them carried out. The hose -wagons at Albina and Holladays addition are to be filled with two Babcock extinguishers, and also with two extension ladders, which will render them much more efficient. The ladders are after a design invented by Foreman Holden, of hose 3, and Chief Buchtel says they are the best ladders he has ever seen. They can be extended to 22 feet, and the splice is the strongest part of them. They can be added to in definitely. Truck No. i will in a few days be moved from East Portland into the new house in Holladay's addition, and three horses will be placed on it. This Is in the line adopted by the board of mov ing apparatus to high ground, so that running to fires will be down hill as much as possible. There has been some complaint about this move among resi dents in the vicinity of the present house, but it is considered that, with the hose cart In the new house, it will afford them better protection than it does now. On occasion of alarms, No. 1 truck will here after cross to the east end of Morrison street bridge and await orders there. No. 2 truck will cross Madison-street bridge to East Fifth street. These changes -will give the East Side better protection than it has ever had before. No. 2 chemical, at Holladay's addition, and No. 4 will, in case of alarms, go north to Albina or south to Morrison street, which will also tend to better the protection of East Side property. New Laws in Fohce Now. Numerous orders are being sent to Salem for cer tified copies of bills passed by the late legislature. Everybody knows how the bill he "was interested in looked when it was presented, but some of them were so amended that their fathers did not know them after they had been squeezed through the milL The doctors have or dered a copy of the bill regulating the practice of surgery. It has been rumored that at the last minute it was amended so that there is only one homeopath on the examining board, instead of two, and the homeopaths wish to know If this is so. The old bridge commission has or dered a copy of the new bridge bill, as the members want to know If they have bo en legislated out of office, and, if so, why and how, and when they were let go. Other parties have ordered a copy of the same bill, and wish to find out how the legislature can submit the vehicle toll proposition to a vote of taxpayers. Sheriff Sears, it is understood, broke away from Senator McGinn to fly to Salem and procure a certified copy of the law re ducing his emoluments. There was some kind of a game law passed, and sports men, as well as marketmen, arc anxious to find out what it is, and how it affects their interests. Lots of others are after other bills. A Misunderstanding Averted. An in cident occurred in the barroom of the Portland yesterday, which has afforded considerable amusement to the friends of the Interested parties. A prominent politician and member of the late legisla ture, and a friend, a member of a popu lar church, met on the sidewalk of Sixth street. In front of the Portland. Both were seeking liquid.. refreshments, but neither liked to ask the other to join. The church member had a sore throat, and he had been told to take some rum and gum. The legislator just wanted his usual fill. He was afraid to ask his friend to drink because he belonged to the church, and the friend did not like to ask the legislator to drink for fear of creating the impression that he was a tippler. After passing the time of day, and all that sort of thing, they separated. One dodged around the corner and through the Morrison-street entrance to the hotel bar, the other went in the front way, and they arrived at the bar together. They stared at each other in surprise for a moment, and then the legislator said: "I'll shake you for the drinks." Explana tions followed, and In future they will not be so shy of each other. The Ironing Cured Him. Theodore Love, an apprentice of the British ship ChSUlngsford, from Glasgow, was arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff C. A. Wheeler as insane. The captain of the ship has had Love in irons for the past two days, and released him only on the arrival of Deputy Wheeler. Young Love thereupon signified his intention of thrashing the master on the spot, with the whole crowd on board included, if necessary. It is reported that Love is demented over a frail female employed In a variety show on Third street, near Pine. He was seen in the county jail, and appears just j.s rational as anybody. He is neatly at tired in a blue, uniform, with cap to match. He answers all questions put to him civ illy and Intelligently. The Ironing by the captain appears to have completely cured the lad. The Ferrt Nearly Headt. The Van couver ferry-hoat, which was sunk at the head of Shaw's island a short time since, has had the hole in her side re paired, and has. besides, had her ma chinery thoroughly overhauled, and has been repainted, and is now ready for bus lnoss. She will probably be put on the route again tomorrow. Persons who have occasion to cross the Columbia with teams will be glRd to know that she is running again, for, although the boat employed in her place has carried teams and wagons where possible, it has been considerable trouble to unhitch teams and get wagons on and off the bow of an ordinary steamer. Commission Organises. Messrs. Solo mon Hirsch. N. K. West, and J. V. Beach, named as citizens of Portland to compose the committee in the bill which passed the legislature providing for the purchase of the Morrison-street bridge and Stark street ferry, met yesterday and organized. The members took their oaths of office, and filed them with City Auditor Gambeil. after which they held their first official meeting at the office of J. V. Beach. Mr. Hirsch was chosen president, and Mr. Beach selected to act as clerk of the com mittee. No other business of Importance was transacted, and the committee will meet again today. The Centurt Wak Books. The Ore gonlan now has a nice supply of these books, bound in full cloth, for sale at the small price of $3. If they are to be mailed to you. add 58 cents for postage. This same history of the war, when sold in book form by the Century Company, sold for $34. When this supply is exhausted. It will undoubtedly be the last opportunlty to get them through The Oregonlan. We also Have a few of Napoleon bound in cloth, for sale at $2 58: also 50 cents to be ndded for postage. Gaff Wiu, Bk at Liberty. It Is under stood that Dr. J. V. Gaff will be released on bonds today. He expected to be out yesterday, and bondsmen presented them selves, but the court was not in readiness to examine the matter, so It went over, nnd will doubtless come up again this morning. A New Section of the endowment rank, K. of P., has been organized in this city, with headquarters -MC Marquam building. Knights desiring to take out insurance can make application to George F. Mc Connell, secretary. Plant Now. Hoses, carnations, pansles. Prices very low at Burkhanlt Bros. Not Too Late to Save Monet. The va rious city officials, whose salaries have been secured to them by the failure of the charter bill to pass the legislature, feel very -well satisfied with the situation of affairs, and are now ready to do all in their power to run things economically. Mayor Frank Is of the opinion that, bar ring the saving which would have been effected by the cutting of salaries and the combining of the offices of street commis sioner and city surveyor, the council can effect as much reduction of expenses as would have been secured by the passage of the charter bilL He thinks that the saving caused by combining the offices of commissioner of streets and city sur veyor would have been offset by the cre ation of the office of city en gineer, with the necessary assist ants. He says the saving to have been effected by having the cost of laying out streets and sewers made a charge to the property-owners interested. Instead of to the city, can be accomplished by an ordinance, and that such an ordinance will be passed. He is not ashamed of the record of the city administration. There has not been money squandered and there is not going to be. He says he Is going- to give the city an economical administra tion, as he promised, and the council is in unison -with him in this matter. To Help Fruit Interests. The govern or has signed the bill amending the old act creating the state board of horticul ture. The new law confers more power on the members of the board, making them quarantine officers, with power to quarantine any trees or fruit imported into this state. There are three commissioners to be appointed, and, as soon as this is done, the board will get to work. The board had no quarantine power before. It now has power to declare old worth less trees which are damaging other trees or orchards a nuisance: and, if they are not taken care of, to call the attention of the county court to the matter. The board has not authority, as some suppose, to go out and order immediate destruction of old orchards wherever it pleases. The board consists of five commissioners, of whom three are now to be appointed by the governor and secretary of state for the second, fourth and fifth districts. Superintendent Gardner's Trip. Su perintendent Gardner leaves this morn ing with three girls on the West Side road to place them in homes situated at different points on that line. He will also visit children scattered in different parts of Washington and Yamhill coun ties, and will not return before Saturday. Seventeen children have been placed out during this month, exclusive of the three he takes with him this morning. Expe rience has taught caution in the manner of placing children, and, no matter how good the references might be, the super intendent takes them personally or by his deputy, and will in future pay much at tention to visiting them after they have been so placed. One little 8-year-old girl was removed from a home the society deemed unfit for her in Pendleton on Sat urday, and returned to the society's home. Mild Weather East of Mountains. The weather has been as mild and spring like in Eastern Oregon as in this sec tion, and the snow on the Rockies has begun to melt and the Snake river is ris ing. The water Is already so high that the force employed by Captain Symons, United States engineers, in improving the navigation of the Snake between Hunt ington and the Seven Devils country, by blasting rocks out of th channel, has been compelled to cease operations. Mr. P. G. Eastwick, who has had charge of the party, is laying up the drill, scows, etc., and operations will not be resumed until after the flood in the river is over. Every one will be pleased to know that the Snake Is running off so early in the sea son, as this lessens the probability of high water here in June. Bridge Commission Or.GANizEs. Messrs. Solomon Hirsch, N. K. West and J. V. Beach, named as citizens of Portland to compose the committee in the bill which passed the legislature providing for the purchase of the Morrison-street bridge and Stark-street ferry, met yesterday and organized. The members took their oaths of office, and filed them with City Auditor Gambeil, after which they held their first official meeting at the office of J. V. Beach. Mr. Hirsch was chosen president, and Mr. Beach selected to act as clerk of the committee. No other business of im portance was transacted, and the com mittee will meet again today. A New Ten-Inch Main. The water committee have about completed the lay ing of a 10-inch main from the boneyard down to a point near the North Pacific lumber mills. It has long been desired for protection to the mills and factories in that section. Chitf Buchtel has been superintending the putting in of eight fire hydrants on this line. In the thinly-settled part of the district, they are 400 feet apart, and at the lower end, 200 feet. The pipe line runs down Sherlock avenue. There has been some opposition to the extension, and the work has been delayed by injunction, but is now about completed. A Change in Quarters. The quarters of County Treasurer Lambert and County School Superintendent Ackerman In the City Hall were being carpeted yesterday, and they will move in today, to be ready to transact business there on March 1. Persons having business with these of ficials hereafter will find them on the third floor of the City Hall, on the west side. Fifty Children in paper costumes.

Sixth and Montgomery, 7:43. History Repenting; Itself. The middle Columbia Is just now fur nishing a large amount of sturgeon for the Eastern markets, says The Dalles Chronicle. This once despised shark is now selling at three or four times as much per pound as the once royal, but now deposed, chinook. Thousands of pounds are sent to Portland on the Reg ulator every day, from down-river points, and some of the fishermen are making from $30, to as high as $90 per day. These rubber-nosed sharks (the fish, not the fishermen) are put In refrigerator cars and shipped East, and In passing through the Bad Lands of Dakota are changed in tholr character, arriving in New York as halibut, or sea bass, just as the mar ket happens to demand. This versatllity on the part of the sturgeon is what gives it a greater value than the red-fleshed salmon, which cannot travel under an alias. A Somnambulist's Peril. Early Sunday morning a stranger in Astoria came near losing his life while perambulating the streets in his sleep. He was staying at the Parker house, and was on his way to that hostelry when the accident happened. Officer Seafeldt was standing on the Occident corner when he noticed a man walking straight towards the edge of the dock back of Conn's drug store. He staggered in such a manner that the officer became suspicious, and called to him to beware of the danger ahead of him. Seeing that he paid no notice to his warning, the officer rushed after the man and grasped him by the coat just as he went over the edge of the wharf. His weight threw the officer flat, but he held on with a death grip. and. summoning all his strength, pulled him to a place of safety. The man had been walking in his sleep. EAST SIDE AFFAIRS. Bull Run Water to Be Turned In Friday or Saturday. The people on the East Side may expect to have Bull Run water to drink by Sat urday. As the legislature has directed that the East Side plant be turned over to the water committee, the common coun cil have coincided with the notion of Mayor Frank, that it might as -well be turned over first as last. The council would have been better pleased if the leg islature bad directed that the water com mittee assume all the water bonds of the old city of East Portland, but as it did not. the situation will be accepted.. Mayor Frank will turn over the plant March 1, and the council will make a formal transfer at the next meeting, March 6. An inventcry of the property, preparatory to the transfer, is about com pleted. Chief Engineer Smith is making every effort to get the steel 24-inch pipe from reservoir No. 2 connected with the East Side 14-Inch main at Twelfth and Division streets. The pipe has been laid to within three feet of the main for some time, and the connection is ready to be put in, but It is necessary to lower the main some IS Inches in ordsr to bring the two pipes on a level, and this will take a little time. He hopes to have everything in readiness to turn on the water on March 1, or by March 2, at latest; so the East Side peo ple may look out for Bull Run water in their faucets r-bout that time. They will find it the best they ever tasted. Ice men now look forward to a diminished demand for ice this summer, and feel, with the filter men and mineral water manufac turers, that the introduction of Bull Run water la not altogether an unmitigated blessing. Evils of Narcotics. The East Portland W. C. T. U. will present to the board of school directors a long petition asking that the law re garding instructions in the evils of the use of narcotics be enforced. Mrs. Sarah Kern, state superintendent of the W. C. T. U., stated yesterday the object of the petition is to have the school board have the teachers in the school give instruc tions as required by law. "In the schools of Portland," said Mrs. Kern, "the only Instructions received along this line are in the high school. In other portions of the state regular instructions are given in the classroom, and we want the same thing done in the Portland schools. It is certainly needed very much. Mere chil dren on the East Side are frequently seen chewing tobacco or smoking a pipe." The cigarette bill. Mrs. Kern states, was not passed by the legislature, not because there was any opposition to it, but be cause It was crowded out by other mat ters. Tlie Piano AVnr Ended. The war over the condition of the piano in the Smith hall, among the secret or ganizations meeting in the hall, has been amicably adjusted. It is established that the instrument was not tampered with for the purpose of breaking up the enter tainment of Fidelity lodge No. 14, A. O. U. W., last Thursday, as has been re peatedly charged against Winona tribe of Red Men. It arose from the fact that an examination of the instrument was made during the forenoon of Thursday by a tuner, and found to be in a bad con dition. No attempt was made to put it in condition that day, and in the evening the performers on the programme could not use it at all. There was great indig nation over the "interference" with the programme, but it has been shown the piano was not tampered with by any one, and was simply out of tune. Latonrelle Falls School. The Latcurelle Falls school closed last week with appropriate exercises, which were attended by a large number of the patrons and friends of the school. The examination papers showed that a high standard of work had been maintained in the school. Mrs. L. Allard is the teacher. The highest grades made in the classes were: "A," advanced, Mrs. Clara Young, 9S; Miss Edna Smith, 93: Miss Ella Cole, 93; Charles Latourelle, SO; "A," Interme diate, Eva Latourelle, 9S; Charles Smith, 96; Robert Cox, 90: "B," intermediate, Mabel Cummings, 93; Alvln Hurst, 100; Fredda Hoover, 95; Blanche Quine, 92; Guy Smith, 99; Rosa Carpenter, 95; Allie Sawyer, 93; Jessie Sawyer, 93; Claude Car penter, 96; "A," primary, Alfred Hurst, 9S; Johnnie Cummings. 9S; Christ Larsen, 90: "B," primary, Annie Larsen, 9S; John nie Hoover, 9S. The Holladay Pnrlc. Mr. Myers, the City Park keeper, has been at work for several days in the Holladay city park, on Holladay avenue, trimming up the trees and shaping the ground. There are four blocks in this park, and it is very conveniently located, a branch of the City & Suburban railway being on the north side. The intention is to level up the surface, the higher por tions and corners being cut down, and the dirt used to fill up In the center, which is somewhat low. AH the old stumps and roots will be grubbed out, and, where the growth of small trees is too thick, they will be thinned out. Mr. Myers says the park is a beautiful piece of ground and may be made a popular park. Next year it is expected more extensive improve ments will be made on it. Walks will be laid out and shrubbery will be planted. All Are Locked Up. All the parties alleged to be concerned in the Overton robbery of over a year ago have been locked up. Frank Warner is held as a witness against the other parties. Willard Plummer has been mak ing an effort to secure bail, but has not yet succeeded. He intends to make a fight against the charge in Justice Bul lock's court, if he can. Both Plummer and W. J. Guy are married men, the former having several children. They are naturally very indignant over Warner's action in Implicating them In the robbery, and declare their Innocence of the crime. Warner In his statement exonerates Rob bins, who was first arrested, and declares he had nothing whatever to do with the crime. The Xcw Qnnrtcrw. The new quarters for the consolidated truck company on Holladay avenue are about ready, and may be occupied this evening. A. J. Coffee, city electrician, was busy yesterday putting in the electric alarm apparatus, and had about com pleted the work in the evening. Stalls for the horses are finished, and all the ar rangements on the lower floor were com pleted yesterday. The painters were at work in the second story putting on the finishing touches in the rear of the build ing. The general arrangement of the building Is similar to that of the other fire buildings. It is not yet known who will compose the company, beyond the fact that it will be made up of the other two East Side truck companies. Mincellaiieous Xotcs. W. W.

The Mexi can warship La Libertad, which yester day was given up as lest by the local Mexican consul, is at the present moment safely anchored about 20 miles below the passes. Second Engineer Joseph E. Pe nedo and Quartermaster Bernado Lopez, arrived In the city at noon and explained that La Libertad left Vera Cruz about a month ago to participate in the carni val festivities. The voyage generally is made in three days, but continual gales and rough weather tossed the vessel for many days, until, when about 40 miles from the bar, the ship's coal gave out, February 23. The sails had been lost dur ing previous storms, and Captain Pedro H. Salva, seeing his ship at the mercy of the elements, with no means of reach ing the passes, detailed Penedo, Lopez and four sailors to attempt to reach land in an open boat. Finally, three days after leaving the ship, they reached the main pass. Then Penedo and Lopez, made their way to the city. Outside of the partial loss of sails and the giving- out of the coal supply, no other calamity was re ported. A supply of coal will be obtained here by the Mexican consul and sent down to La Libertad at once. Movements of Ocean Vessels. NEW YORK. Feb. 27. Arrived Nor wegian, from Glasgow.

Is It not time for the law-abiding citizen to pause and tbTnk after the assault of yesterday by a sheriff upon a senator? I think that the people must censure Mr. Sears severely for drawing a deadly weapon. No matter what laws Mr. Mc Ginn was instrumental in passing; no matter whose perquisites they cut off, he is not personally answerable to any one. Should a man who was defeated or whose pet measures were beaten assault Mr. Cole or Mr. Burke because they were helpful to such result? How does it look for a man to draw a weapon, which is given him to defend the law, to break it? I say this action is without excuse, and Mr. Sears should be made to answer to the violated law, to say nothing of his oath of office. I have been an admirer of Sher iff Sears, and was not In favor of altering the salary or fees during the present term, but now that Mr. Sears has so plainly shown that he is not qualified to govern himself, how is he fitted to assert the dignity of the law to other law-breakers? I am sorry, as I am sure are hundreds of others, to say: "Mr. Sears, you have vio lated the law; you must answer to the law for the violations, and we will be glad to see the law vindicated."
