RED HOT SERPENTS.
"What a Rejiortrr Thonglit He Saw
in a Rollins Mill.
The rolling mills, on the St. Helens
road, do not present a very attractive
appearance, with the piles of iron in front
and huge stacks of scrap iron and stag
piled about, but they present a busy and,
to the casual -visitor, a very interesting
scene Inside.
A huge ehears slices anything In the way
of iron into pieces of any size desired,
and a number of men are kept busy mak
ing up these pieces with all sorts of scrap
iron into bundles of the proper size to be
worked up lreto new iron. At the far end
o-f the building Is a furnace, where these
bundles are heated till very pliable, when
(they are run between rollers, which welds
the heterogenous pieces into a homo
geneous mass.
The operation of making the billets
thus formed Into bar Iron Is interesting
to watch. The billets are heated to a
white heat, the door of the furnace be
ing raised frequently to enable the mas
ter workman to see when the right stage
has been reached. The rolls through
which the Iron Is to be passed a number
of times. In order to bring the bars to the
required size, stand some distance away
from the furnace, as the bars of iron are
run backward and forward through them.
"When the billets are at the right heat
ttie door of 'the furnace Is opened, and a
man with a long pair of tongs or grlp
pers, which are suspended from a traveling
pulley above, seizes one of them and, back
ing away, pulls k out of the furnace, then,
wheeling ft around, he runs the billet up
to a pair of Tolls, which seize and draw
it through, reducing the size; In a mo
ment back It comes through a smaller ap
erture, and this is repeated several times
until the billet lias been formed Into a
bar the size of a man's wrist, when It
is seised by another man and run through
other sets of rolls as many times as Is
necessary to reduce It to the required
siae.
Meanwhile, the man who takes the bil
lets out of the furnace has not been idle,
and has run several other billets to the
rolls, and they are all busy at the same
time. The rode of iron, as they grow
smaller. Increase in length, and as they
come sliding through the rolls and glide
squirming along the Iron floor, with the
end slightly elevated and a sort of snaky
motion, look like red-hot serpents, and
make the spectator Imagine "he's got 'em
again" or is In one of the summer resorts
described In Dante's "Inferno."
Finally, when the rod has reached the
proper s4ze, K is seized at the end by a
boy, with a pair of tongs, of course,
and dragged to one side and placed on
an iron grating, slightly Inclined, In roll
tog down which It has all the little curves
taken out of it and straightens out along
side other rode, and when they have cooled
off they are cut Into merchantable lengths.
The glare of the furnace, the white, hot
bars, dodging back and forth through the
rolls, the men working swiftly and Intel
ligently and the showers of sparks play
ing about all go to make up a spectacle
which one can view for some time with
interest.
CHURCH WEDDING.
Philip GevnrtE and Miss May San
ders United in Marriage.
Owe of the prettiest weddings that has
occurred in the Jewish circle for many
a month took place yesterday afternoon
at the- synagogue of th Congregation
Ahavi Shoiom. the contracting parties be
ing Philip Gevurtz, of this City, and
Miss May Sanders, of Eugene. The church
was tastefully decorated with Ivy and
other greens, while upon the altar, hang
ing from a canopy of Oregon grape, were
two pure white doves. Cut flowers and
potted palms were also much In evidence
throughout the church.
Promptly at 5 o'clock, as the organ
pealed forth the "Lohengrin" wcddlrg
march, the groom entered, with the bride's
mother on hte arm, and followed by his
beet man aad groomsmen, Messrs. Alex
Miller and J. Shemasurky. Shortly after--ward
the rlngbearers, Louis and Lillle
Gevurtz, came forwasid immediately in
front of the bride, who was supported by
her father. Following these " wore the
bridesmaids, Belle Joseph and Sadie

the bride, where a supper was partaken of
by the Immediate relatives.
The bride, who was a society loader of
Eugene, was richly attired In a dress of

BUILDERS ARE ALL BUSY
LIVELIEST SCASOX PORTLAND
SEEN FOR TEX YEARS.
HAS
Both Business Blocks and Residences
Springing- Up Like Aladdin's
Palace On the East Side.
Portland builders are busier now than
they have been at this season, for tho past
10 years, according to a prominent con
tractor, who was speaking on the subject
yesterday. They have more to do than
hevon at this time last year, though over
bw moaern buildings were erected in this
City In 1899. To a casual observer there
does not seam to be any unusual stir in
the building line, but the work is widely
scattered, and in the aggregate hundreds
of mechanics are busy. Last week only
one day was lost on account of the rain,
and as the season advances more men
and teams will be put to work on new
excavations.
The new buildings being erected for the
Multnomah Club, near the head of Yam
hill street, are being pushed steadily to
completion. The brick basements of tho i
ciuonouse, and the handball court to the
north are in position, while the framework
of the latter building already, looms up,
suggesting the style and loftiness of the
new structure.
The work of building the brick basement
of the new Good Samaritan Hospital goes
on steadily, but slowly. The concrete
foundations for the brickwork have been
laid In the trenches, and great care la
being taken with regard to solidity. A
large amount of building material is be
ing deposited on the Twcsity-third-street
side, and the work will be pushed more
vigorously as the season advances.
Carpenters are now laying floor joists
on the first sot of steel pillars, on the
new Corbett brick, at Fifth and Stark
streets. Bricklayers, ironworkers and car
penters can hereafter work In unison on
this structure, which is to be finished by
Midsummer. The basement walls of ba
saltic rock suggest stout foundations for
the support of great weight
The new Brooke brick block is nearly
ready for the roof timbers. The four fine
stores fronting on Washington street will
add more life to that portion of the City,
which Is already becoming a popular re
tail quarter of Portland.
Excavation proceeds steadily on tho
Brown lot, Sixth street, between Washing
ton and Alder, and preparations are be
ing made for laying extra strong founda
tions, as -the owners expect to add more
stories to the structure as business Justi
fies. A truss roof will be built so that
It can be raised out of the way whon the
brick walls are to be carried up for a
more lofty structure. At present, one
story and basement are all that is con
templated. The Lawrence residence, being erected
at 745 Flanders street, will be one of the
prettiest buildings in the residence quar
ter of the West Side, when completed.
Although begun 'but a few weeks ago, the
house is already roofed in. It consists oi
two stories, basement and attic, is oi
semi-Colonial style of architecture, and
will cost between ?40O0 and $5000.
Among the buildings nearing comple
tion on the West Side, are the Durkhelm
er fiats, corner of Alder and Eleventh,
end Mrs. Lauer"s two modern residences,
southeast corner of Everett and Twenty
firs. These structures will all be ready
for occupancy by early Summer.

Sew Cannery Building.
Good progress was made the past week
on the foundation for the proposed can
nery building of tho Oregon Packing Com.
pany, on East Yamhill street, between
East Eighth and East Ninth. From all
Indications, tho new building will be a fine
ones and especially fitted for the business,
which the managers have desired for
somo time. The sito will be excavated
to a depth of seven feet, which will
give room for the boiler and other ma
chinery required In the operation of the
establishment. There will be several ele
vators running from the basement to the
second floor, and power will be required
to operate them. Placing the machinery
in the basement will leave the upper por
tion relieved that much. Practically tho
consblidateU building will occupy two sto
rlea, and will be 200x100 feet, and will in
clude the old structure, on the corner of
East Seventh and Belmont streets, which
is 50x100. It will be moved to the rear
portion of tho ground. In the new can
nery there will be ample room for storing
purposes, and besides it will be provided
with ample modern facilities for canning
fruit on a large scale. The Intention is
to push construction on the building and
have it ready for the coming season.
Steam Shovel Still in Operation.
Contractor Spore, of Spore & Robinson,
stated yesterday that little progress had
been made with the foundations for tho
two buildings for the Doernbecher fac
tory. Tho steam shovel is still in opera
tion at the west end of the tract, and
trainloads of dirt are constantly being
hauled away to Lower Albino. There is
still much excavating to do at this end of
the tract. It will be some time before the
steam shovel has finished up. Nearly
double the amount of dirt has been taken
out than was estimated would have to be
removed. Mr. Spore said that until the
excavating has been finished work on
the buildings proper could not be com
menced, and the warehouse will stand
where the temporary switch passes. The
permanent spurs will pass the warehouse
and also the factory building, and those
will be constructed shortly. Some work
has been done on the foundations of the
two buildings, but this has gone forward
under difficulties, owing to the saturated
condition of the ground.
Trackage Work Commenced.
At the Southern Pacific carshops ex
cavating lias gono forward as steadily
as the weather will permit. The first im
portant work will be the construction of
a switch from a point on the main line
at the north end of the ground. A fill
Is under construction across the lower
ground toward this point, from the place
where the machine-shops will stand. The
roadbed for this railway is under con
struction through to the connection with
the main line. This spur will be completed
before the vast amount of building mate
rial that will be required can be taken
to tho ground, and it will be put through
as soon an possible, so that the contractor
may crowd construction when the weath
er will permit The excavating for the
foundation of the building will shortly
bo commenced. Concrete will be used for
this purpose. If good weather continues
the switch will soon be completed and
work on the building will proceed.
Miscellaneous Improvements.
At Sellwood a two-story building Is to
be erected on Umatilla avenue and what
is called East Sixth street. Contractor
Merchant has tho building for construc
tion, and work is soon to commence.
The foundation for the now cottage of
Mr. Barke, on East Eighth and Bowman
streets, is nearing completion. This will
be tho first dwelling to be erected there
for several years, and others are pro
jected. Work is being pushed forward on the
new creamery building near Pleasant
Home on the Powell Valley road, and it
will soon be in operation. The owner,
Mr. Kern, has confidence that the enter
prise will prove a success.
The G. A R. hall at Pleasant Home is
to be enlarged by. the addition of 25 feet
to tho rear end, thus making it 75 feet
instead of 50 as at present.
Good Character Is Worth Something.
McMInnville Reporter.
The writing which W. G. Magers was
so busy upon, a few days before his exe
cution, has ijeen pu'ol'shed, and Instead
of being a confession of the crime, as was
expected, it was a hand-to-heaven asser
vatlon that he was innocent. He makes
the point that "when a man with a prev
ious conviction, and, when once the black
mark is against his name, you know
that he cannot get justice, or really a fair
trial. They will convict h-m on general
principles and public sentiment" This is
a well-taken point, and. while it did no
good in his case, it emphasizes the value
of a previous good character with no un
certain sound. Good character and good
behavior will retain their value as long
as tho world stands, notwithstanding the
tendency to exalt tho power of money and
to dignify those who attain to poslt'ons
of eminence through quest ona-ole meth
ods. Let the young and aspiring youth
remember this fact.

JOIN FOR IMPROVEMENT
EAST SIDERS UNITE TO HELP
ALONG THE EIGHTH WARD.
No Ordinary Street Repairs Will Be
Satisfactory There Belgian
Blocks Talked Of.
Preliminary steps were taken toward
the formation of an Improvement asso
ciation Saturday night at Foss hall by
citizens of tho southeast, mainly of the
Eighth Ward, for the purpose of encour
aging the improvement and repairs of
streets. The attendance was not large,
but those present were determined to take
action to set In motion Improvement.
Councilman Cameron was present and
greatly facilitated the effort On motion
it was decided to start a preliminary or
ganization. Waldemar Seton was elected
president and L. H. Wells secretary, each
consenting to serve untdl there should
be a larger attendance. There was an in
formal discussion of the situation concern
ing the condition of the street In that por-
tlon of the City south of Hawthorne ave-
nue.
i-orucuiar reierence was nad to
Grand avenue south from East Clay.
Councilman Cameron explained what had
been done in the City Council, with regard
to that street. He said that the $500 that
had been considered in the Council was
under tho understanding that there would
be help from Inman, Paulsen & Co.'s saw
mill, and also Banfield & Rand, more
particularly the latter. It was considered
that all were Interested In repairing the
street The kind of repairs was also dis
cussed. It was conceded by all who spoke
that any ordinary repairs would be unsat
isfactory. It was thought that Belgian
blocks are the only improvement that will
successfully stand the wear of the slab
wood and lumber wagons, which carry
upward of five tons, but It was also con
ceded that the expense of that sort of
improvement would be too great to un
dertake. T. G. Devlin sent In some figures
showing that the cost of such Improve
ment would be very high.
After further discussion, it was decided
that atthe next meeting a committee of
citizens should be selected to take up the
matter cf the repairing of this street. This
committee will ascertain what the sawmill
company and tho slabwood men, the rail
way company and the citizens there will
do, and see if some plan cannot be evolved
that will result in the repairs being brought
about. The situation on Grand avenue
south of East Clay street Is different from
that of almost any other street on the
East Side. The property-owners have
been taxed repeatedly, until they will do
no more for tho street. On the other hand
it is admitted that the great sawmill is a
highly Important industry, has helped to
build up that portion of the City, and is
entitled to consideration. It was felt that
3 committee of well-informed and fair
minded citizens might bring about the re

cerned. The same action was taken with
regard to Milwaukie street. These com
mittees will be named at the next meet
ing, which will be held at Foss hall.
After the association has been perma
nently organized meetings will be held
further south, but as Mr. Foss kindly do
nated the use of his hall free of charge, it
was thought best to meet there for the
present.

will bo ready for service. The tug is 80
feet long by 17 feet beam, and weTT con

an experiment with a wood-preservative
preparation. In the same yard are two
sternwheelers, one for Hosford Bros., 118
feet long, and the other for Captain Hill,
120 feet long. The Hosford steamer Is
nearing completion, and work on her cab

tain Hill steamer is also well along.
Launching of the Callender will give more
room and facilitate work. Mr. Johnston
has just secured the contract for another
tug for the Trescott Packing Company, a
cannery company on the Columbia, which
will be BO feet long. This tug will be laid
down south of the yard, at the foot of
East Clay street Mr. Johnston hopes
soon to get to work on her.

gathered, including the new steamers un
der construction, and those undergoing
repairs. On the ways are the new Inland
Flyer for the Portland, Dalies & Astoria
Transportation Company, and the

hopes to have trie Dalles boat ready for
launching about the 20th of next month.

The Ilwaco was recently purchased by J.
Cook, and when the repairs now making
on her have beeei completed she will be

At a meeting of the leading members
of tho U. S. Grant Republican Club yes
terday afternoon arrangements were com
pleted for the proposed gathering at Gru
ner's hall next Friday night, when State

the address. It was decided to make the
meeting the largest that has been held in
the ward since the Presidential election.
On motion a large number of special in
vitations to prominent Republicans in the
City and Clackamas County were ordered
issued. T. C. Devlin was appointed a com
mittee of one to issue tho Invitations. The
committee on receDtion was n.mHl as fni-
i lows: R. R. Sewall, M. G. Griffin, George
Cameron. H. C. Smith and John TomHn.
son. On motion, Mr. DeVlin was Instruct
ed to send special Invitations to the Eighth
Ward, the Sellwood, Sunnyskle, Multnomah-Union,
Ninth Ward, Straight Re
publican Club, and such other clubs as he
may think proper. The Southern Pacific
Bond, a fine musical organization, was en
gaged to funiish music for that even
ing. The address of Mr. Brownell will com

Political Notes.
The committee on constitution and by
laws of the Multnomah-Union Republican
Club, of the Ninth Ward, met yesterday,
and. about completed their work. A re
port will be submitted at the meeting next
Thursday evening. The hall committee has
been looking around for a hall for public
meetings, and will have a report to make
at that time. Consolidation of the two
Clubs into on has proved a popular move
ment The Eighth Ward Republican Club will
meet next Thursday evening at Gruner's
hall. There Is some complaint about the
meetings being held so far away from
Powell street which is considered more
central, but It may be stated that this is
the only large hall in the Eighth Ward
In which public meetings can be held.
After a time meetings may be held on
Powell street

THRILLING WAR DRAMA.
"Red, White aad Blue" KBttknslas
tically Received at XetreysM-taii.
The first presentation In this Ctty of
"Red, WhKe and Blue," a stirring mili
tary drama, founded on incidents in Cuba
during the Spanish-American War, was
received with the wildest enthusiasm by a
large audience at tbe Metropolitan Thea
ter last night. The play itself, like all
successful war dramas, abounds in thrill
ing climaxes and bloody scenes of a highly
melodramatic character; yet there is
woven in the plot a tender love story, and
there are plenty of humorous lines and
funny situations that rive full play to
the comedy artists of tbe company. The
play was ably staged, and it was pre
sented with that vim and go that kept
tbe audience In a nutter of expectation.
The Metropolitan Stock Company has
been greatly strengthened since "O'Brien,
the Contractor," held tbe boards, and be
sides a half dosen talented actors and ac
tresses, who have just arrived to Jbu the
company, the cast was tilled out wdth the
best local talent obtainable. In all, about
50 people took part in the play.
Charles W. King, the leading man, ap
peared in the role of Phinens Weaver, a
war correspondent, who could fight and
make love as well as write. The part
of Blanche Wilson was ably presented by
Mies Laura Adams, who gave a finished
and intelligent Interpretation to tho role.
Miss Leila Abbott bad the part of 3er
cides, a Cuban girl, and acted and looked
Mke a typical daughter of the "Gem of
the Antilles." Miguel, a Spanish lieuten
ant, was cleverly interpreted by Max
Stelnte, who will be remembered as hav
ing made his last appearance on the
Portland stage In the ill-starred "Cheer
ful Liar." He won first laurels last
night SddSs Holland hod a part that
allowed his Irish versatility full swing.
As was the case last week, the bright
est part of the show was pretty Georgia
Cooper, who payed Retty Hall, ard rod
plenty of bright lines to say, and she said
them In a ebarmlng manner. Besides
staging her great success of last week,
"The Carolina Twins," she won much ap
plause and admiration in her happy ren
dition of "You Told M You Had Money in
tbe Bank." Charles Welch looked hand
somer than ever as Lieutenant Wilson,
and his blue clothes were important fac
tors in making Mm the Idol of the Port
land matinee girl. M4ss Myrtle Selwyn
did good work as Olivia RuetsII, and lit
tle Olhe Cooper Is always a favorite. Page
Spencer and Oscar Jorflet bandied their
parts with skill, and, on the whole, tho
pertormasce left little to be desirad.
"Red, White and Blue" will b the bill
the entire week,
