For the opening or plates and the filling of the holders and for the chemical manipulation after exposure, a room per fectly free from all light Is required. The light -with which to see when performing the various operations must come through a pane of ruby glass, or a sheet of ruby fabric, from outside the room, or it must be from the flame of a lantern made for the purpose. It is best, when possible, to have a room used exclusively for this purpose. It need not be large, though the larger and more airy the better. Almost every house has a room or closet which will answer. If nowhere else, a dry and well-cemented corner of the cellar will be found a. good place, as It will be cool in Summer and free from Intrusion. Around the two open sides can be constructed a wall of ordi nary flooring or weather-boarding nailed to -uprights, with a door at the farthest corner from where you intend developing. In building a room It will be well to build a small shelf supported by a bracket, on the outside, with a small window, fitted with a frame of ruby glass, extending tip from the shelf. A lamp on the shelf will Illuminate the dark room and keep the heat outside and save the trouble of a ruby lantern. It should be built at the same height as the developing table In side. The room can be ventilated In the following manner: Have made at the tinsmith's four tubes of tin such as is used to carry water from the roof, the shape of the letter L, the.long side about 10 inches long and the short side half .that length. At the top of the long end have a ilange, and, after cutting hdles at tho bottom of the wall of the room and two at the top the size of the inside of the tube, attach these tubes aver the holes by nailing the flange. The tubes should be painted a dark color inside and out to prevent the reflection of the light. If there is running water and It can be conveyed to the room, and if a sink and waste pipe can be used, so much the bet ter, as plenty of good water Is a requisite and running water one of the greatest conveniences. But many of us will have to get along without running water, and let us see how this can best be done. "We shall need a sink at the end of the room at which we are going to develop. "We must first get a table or shelf, or use an old table with a rectangular open ing, at least 24 by 15 inches, cut in the top. Into this fit a zinc or galvanized iron tray about four Inches deep. From a hole in the bottom of this have a small pipe leading to a pail or other re ceptacle for waste water. Next construct a small platform or shelf to hold, a water tank. The bottom of this should be a foot or more above the top of the table. If you do not mind the filling, the tank should be a small barrel with a wooden tap placed in the bottcm. Ore of the barrels known as "half-barre's," In which salted meats and fish come, can be bought at a grocer's, and after being cleansed will be very suitable. A large pail with a stop-cock placed In the bottom may also serve the purpose. Over the stop-cock or tap draw the end of a piece of rubber tubing sufficiently long to reach to any point of the sink. Make iS .mall plat form of slats, slightly separated, or of a piece or board with holes bored In it, to rest over the sink and to hold the tray when in use. Have It about a third of the length of the sink, and loose, so that It may be slid to either end as desired. A sink and a water supply such as de scribed are necessary for those who in tend doing much photographic work, or for those whose time is limited; yet the sink is not absolutely essential, and one may get along with much less elaborate preparation by using one pall to contain fresh water and another for waste water, and having an extra tray or two for washing. As a matter of fact a rcom to bo U'ei exclusively as a dark rcom Is not neces sary. This Is especially so If we do our dark-room work at night. The bathroom or the kitchen make good places on ac count of the supply of running water. Lantern. though any convenient room may boused. It is advisable In our dark room to have plenty of shelf accommodation for storing negatives, chemicals, trays and ether ac cessories. Behind the shelves fasten eheeti of white paper. This will enable you to eee the articles much better In the dim light of the dark room. Now as to the utensils required. There is. first, the light If mere is a window with a shelf outside to hold a lama, as previously suggested, you will merelv need the necessary panes of glass of the correct tint. It has been found most advlsab'.e to place a sheet of ground ela.su next to the light to diffuse it. Next to th's a sheet ,of deep orange glass. This light I lumi nates the dark room fairly well, and by keeping the developing tray shielded from its direct rays, except when examining the plate. It will be found satisfactory. Another pane of ruby glass, or a shact of ruby fabric, should be added to the others to make the light perfectly safe. The best size for this window is SxlO or 10x12. and it should be directly In front of the developing table. If there Is ,not a win dow of this kind, a ruby lantern will be necessary. This should be a cood one. burning oiL Much of the success of de veloping depends on a good safe light, and a few extra dollars spent here will be money saved. The very cheap lanterns are Invariably unsatisfactory. They have an Insufficient draft, become overheated and the solder melts, or the glass cracks. The lamp shown in the illustration gives Fixing Box. a safe SxlO ruby light for developing by. while the left side door, when 'open, emits a clear white light for making transpar encies and bromide prints by contact. The right door, when open, gives a soft opal light for. examining negatives or transparencies. The lantern is generally fitted with a coal oil lamp and silver :d reflector, but can be readily adapfd to the use of gas or of electric 1'gfct. At least three trays will be rcqu'red, on- shallow, the same size as the plate you work, and the others Ceeper and a size lag;r.

The keeper of a vegetarian restaurant, who has been in business in Portland for about three months, says he has quite a large number of regular customers, who never touch meat or fish under any con sideration. He is doing very well, be says, but his charges are so small that the better class of people avoid his place, thinking It has been established for tho benefit of those who are hard tip. And, really, a glance at his bill of fare sug gests the soup kitchen. "Soups, 3 cents; Negative Rack. dishes of various kinds, -4 cents, and pud dings, 2 cents," The nearest approach to animal foods in this restaurant Is eggs and butter. "But ter is not recommended, but my customers want it, and so I have to provide It," the restaurant man explained yesterday. He has been a strict vegetarian for seven years, owing to a disordered liver prior to that time, but he feels well and hearty now. "I have only tasted meat once In those seven years." he said, "and that was a piece of Chinese pheasant forced upon me by a friend. How good it was! I could taste it for a week after ward and enjoy It. "I do not think man Is naturally a car nivorous animal. His teeth do not par take of the canine, and his whole make up proves that he was originally a root, nut and fruit-consumer. His meat-eating propensities have been developed In a state of savagery, and humanity Is now heir to a thousand ills in consequence." 9 Desirable for Jnrj'Bicn. Junction Bulletin. W. N. Glbbs and J.

DAitk ltooai. official publication of the French Govern ment, which discusses at considerable length the consuming powers of those Islands, the consequent economic value to the United States, and the prospective In crease In their consuming powers through enlarged production under American cap ital. The statement is as follows: "At present' the Imports of these coun tries amount to about $100,000,000. Those oi juoa were m i& twnicn was an aver age good year). 552,101.CS$; of the Philip pines in 1S9S, $2S,815,075; of the Hawaiian Islands In 1S93, ill,650,890, and of Puerto Rico in 1S9S, $3,656,578. The Imports, how ever, show already an increase, as is seen by the American export figures to these Islands, those to the Hawaalan Islands for 1S99 being $9,005,470. as against J5,907,155 for I ikw, ana ,bw,u ior ibSt; tnose to uuoa. is,tib.3iY in 1K, as against 9,&6l.6oG in IKS, and $S.259,77G in 1S97; the respective figures of exports to Puerto Rico being T2.CS3.S43 for the year 1S&9. as compared with $1,505, M6 tot 1S9S and 51.&S8.&SS for 1S37. There is no doubt that with an increased productive power, which must naturally be followed by increased consumption, the value of the foreign trade of these Islands is like wise bound to Increase considerably. "The consumption of foreign produces by these Islands Is made up almost equally of article of manufacture and of agricul ture of the temperate zone. Out of ?2o 125,321 worth of products exported from , the United States to Cuba in 1834. the value of $9,440,953 was in products of agri culture, and out of $18,G16.377 worth of ex kt?

Puerto Rico and the Philippines about $40,000,000 worth of goods principally manufactured articles, besides wines, oils, flour, meats and vegetables. Out of 135.000,000 pesetas' worth of mer chandise shipped from Spain to Cuba In 1S9C, about 50,000,000 represented the value of products of agriculture The propor tion was nearly the same In the case of Puerto Rico and the Philippine Islands. "Speaking generally, we may assume that under normal conditions the surplus production of Cuba and the Philippines before the war amounted to about $125.- 000.000 annually, and their consumption to $100 000,000; but that their productive pow er Is capable of great increase, which in turn will cause a similar Increase in con sumption. About one-half of the imports Into these islands was of Spanish origin, and the other half came from other coun tries, proportionate to their proximity or distance. Thus the United States fur nished the greater part of the imports into Cuba and Puerto Rico, while the Philippine Islands received whatever Spain was unable to furnish them with, from Hong Kong. Shanghai, Tokohama, Singa pore, Calcutta and Australian ports." The following statement, prepared by tho Treasury Bureau of Statistics, shows tho exports from the United States, by principal articles, to each of the Islands mentioned in the above discussion. The statement covers the seven months end ing with January. 1900, and compares that period with the corresponding period in earlier years, thus Indicating the growth In exports from the United States to those Islands since 1697: Articles Cuba.

He could no doubt give bonds, but refuses to do so. Coat's companion testified that they saw a puff of smoke on the hillside above them when Coats was shot, and saw Mon roe running down the hill afterward. This was all the evidence against the defendant, who denies all knowledge of the shoot ing.

TWICE A DAY TO CHICAGO NEW TRAIX OVER O. R. &. X. AND SHORT LIAE ABOUT APRIL 15. Interstate Commerce Commission Will Hold Adjourned Meeting In, San Francisco, April 2. Announcement is made that about the middle of April there will be put on an other thrbugh train dally between Port land and Chicago, to run via the O. R. & N., the Short Line, the Unlon'Paciflc and Chicago & Northwestern. The exact time when this additional service will be Inau gurated is dependent upon the completion of the equipment, now well under way. It Is the intention, Vhen the schedule is adopted, to have one train leave Portland at a convenient hour In the morning, and another in the evening, and to make the run through to Chicago in about 70 hours. Both trains will have dining service through, and be made up of first and second-class accommodations. The route covered will be Portland to Huntington, O. R. & N.; Huntington to Granger, Oregon Short Line; Granger to Council Bluffs, Unl6n Pacific; Council Bluffs to Chicago, Chicago & Northwest ern. WILL MEET IX SAX FRAXCISCO. Interstate Commerce Commission and Pacific Coast Jobbers. "When the Interstate Commerce Com mission met at St. Louis about two months ago, It had up before it, for con sideration, a question most vital to the interests of the Pacific Coast. It was reported to the Commission at the St. Louis meeting that certain railroads had granted rates highly favorable to the Jobbers in the Mississippi valley, and which were a serious and unfair discrim ination to the Pacific Coast Jobbers. The question in issue was not finally disposed of at St. Louis, and adjournment was taken to San Francisco, on April 2. The question to be finally heard at San Francisco Is, without doubt, the most important matter with which the Interstate Commerce Commission has had to deal for years. The discrimination al leged to exist affects the jobbers of Portland, Puget Sound cities, San Fran cisco, Sacramento, and, in fact ever)' Jobbing, center on the Pacific Coast. CHAXGE IX INTERSTATE LAW. Western Roads Oppose It, Eastern Lines Are Indifferent. NEW YORK, March 22. The Times says: ' Statements made by two represen tatives of Eastern and Western railroads, respectively, throw some light on the at titude which the railroads have assumed toward the amendments to .the interstate commerce law, introduced by Senator Cul lom and by which It is intended to in crease the power .of the commission un der that law. In regard to the attitude of Eastern lines. Senator Depew said last night that the railroads In this section had not paid much attention to legislation at Wash ington in recent years, and that It did not make much difference to Eastern roads what amendments would be made to the Interstate commerce law. "Changes in the law," said the Senator, "would not affect us much, and we could earn a liv ing under almost any law that could be made. But I understand that considerable opposition has developed among Western lines." In view of Senator Depew's closo asso ciation with the "Vanderbilt system. Sen ator Depew's statement Is taken to mean that the "Vanderbilt Interests are rather In favor of the proposed changes. In fact It is generally believed that Sena tor Depew may be counted upon as one of the champions of the proposed changes. Directly opposed to these views is the attitude of some of the Western Hnes. Vice-President Clough, of the Great Northern, Is quoted as saying that his line did not approve of the amendments on the ground that a uniform classifica tion could not well be maintained on ac count of the different demands of differ ent sections of the country. Shippers, too. are not of one opinion as regards the pro posed changes. Tho National Board of Trade, at a re cent meeting, adopted and -recommended an amendment which, It Is now claimed. Is not what it seems to be, and some of the members of the board declared that the National body has been trapped Into Indorsing an amendment which will prob ably permit pooling among tho railroads. HOMESEEKERS' RATES. Abolished Only in Part Special Ex cursions to Be Allowed. Traffic Manager B. Campbell, of the O. R. & N and General Agent Lothrop, of the Union Pacific, have returned from the Omaha railroad meeting. General Passen ger Agent Hurlburt, of tho O. R. & N., stopped over at Omaha on his return from the East, and came in with them. Mr. Hurlburt attended the meeting of the transcontinental lines, held to take action regarding the firm stand of the Canadian Pacific, which refused to become a party to the agreement to abolish the payment of commissions. That story has already been told in the dispatches. Mr. Hurlburt feels that the doing away with colonist or homeseekors rates will not work any particular hardship, as the several lines can still, when occasion de mands, grant one-fare round-trip rates to persons desiring to locate in the Western country. It has long been the opinion oi the railroad companies that a standing homeseekers rate has long passed its pe riod of usefulness, and this is In line with Mr. Hurlburt's opinion. "I find." he said yesterday, "that there is a strong Immigration movement setting In westward, especially toward the mining and agricultural centers of the Pacific Northwest. There is no great rush from the East for Cape Nome, so far as I could, find. The experience of many Eastern people with the Klondike has made them wars1; of any large immigration Alaska ward."' CAN THIS DE TRUET Reported Wholesale Abolition of Railroad Agencies.. It is the opinion of the vice-president of a certain Western railroad that the aboli tion of ticket commissions is only one of the economic measures planned by the railroad managers. After that, ho says, the next step will bo the abolition of in dividual railway agencies outside of the territory of the parent llnes. He fixes a limitation of 60 days, within which he af firms that the only railroad agencies In California would be those of the South ern Pacific and Santa Fe. Should the plan prove successful. New England territory will next come under the ban. Then the agencies In Eastern trunk-line territory will be closed by the managers of the Western roads. According to a well-defined plan, all the Western roads are said to have decided to establish Joint agen cies at New York, Boston and Philadel phia, and the Eastern roads will adopt the same plan at Chicago, St. Louis and other leading Western cities. If this be true, there will soon be n large number of recruits for the army of the unemployed. RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION. Over 55,000 Miles Projected for 1000 Probably 5000 to Be Built. The report from a reliable source the Railway Age shows that the list of new railroads projected and under construc tion for the present year consists of RSt lines, with an aggregate mileage of 55,841 miles. It is not probable, as this publica tion says, that anything like this amount of new road will be bulltA Many of the lines are practically parallel ones, covered by different charters, and no one can tell Just what lines will or will not be built. In Oregon there are 120 miles already un der contract, and in "Washington 103 miles. Idaho will build 130 miles, and California 114 miles. The Southern Pacific is building 200 miles in Texas, 60 In California, and 30 in Ore gon, with some 27& miles additional pro jected. The Northern Pacific is building extensions of Importance In Idaho, "Wash ington and other states, and the Great Northern has several lines projected in Minnesota and "Washington. The latest revised figures show that in 1S99, 45S8 miles of new railroad wero con structed, and It Is not at all likely that when the history of railway-building for 1900 shall have been written, the total mileage will fall below that of last year. Railroad Xotcs. General 'Agent Nlcholl, of the Denver & Rio Grande, has returned from Tacoma and Seattle. General Agent O'Reilly, of the Missouri Pacific, is back from his trip to tho Sound and Spokane. General Agent Coman, of the Oregon Short Line, has gone "down the "Valley" on a business trip. a. It Is reported that the Spokane Falls & Northern will build an extension from Rossland, B. C, to tho fpot of Sophie Mountain, to tap a new mineral region. George S. Batty, general passenger agent of the Iowa Central, with head quarters a Marshalltown, la., was In the city Tuesday. He formerly resided here, and Is well known. General Manager Kruttschnltt, of the Southern Pacific, In order to correct a misapprehension, officially announces In a circular that membership In the Relief Department of the company Is not com pulsory, but voluntary only. "Portland as It was In 1S5S-62." The Bur lington has added another picture of Port land to Its collection. General Agent Shel don says that ha shall add others as rap Idly as they are procurable, and hopes in time to have a picture of how the city site appeared when there was only an Indian and a canoe to be seen on the river. The Northern Pacific now has in effect special rates to points west of Hope and Coeur d'Alene. on tho main line and branches. These have been put in on ac count of addresses to be delivered by Will lam J. Bryan at the following points and dates: Spokane, March 30; North Yak ima, March 31; Seattle, April 2; Tacoma, April 3; Portland, April 4. A. D. Charl ton, assistant general passenger agent, announces a rate of 1 1-5 fare for round trip. EAST SIDE AFFAIRS. Collapse of Splcer Building? Xot Bnd ns Reported. So W. E. Splcer, proprietor of the ware house on East First street, a part of which collapsed Wednesday, arrived yes terday morning from Moscow, Idaho where he had. gone on business. He was taking breakfast at Moscow when he was called to the telephone and received In formation of the accident, and then got tho impression that the damage was much worse than he found it. From the mes sage, he supposed that all the grain had gone clear through the lower floor into the mud and water below, but only a few sacks went to the ground. Mr. Splcer says that practically there will be no loss on grain, and that he can repair the dam age to the building for a few hundred dollars. On the whole, the accident was fortunate, as it has revealed the general weakness of the whole building. The ware house was erected about eight years ago for Soden & Splcer. for the contract prlco of $10,000. Since this accident, it has been ascertained that it was not nailed to gether as called for. The joists rest "on tho sills, and had not been securely spiked. This will necessitate going over the entire building, and when this has been done there will be no further trouble. Mr. Spl cer Is gratified that the collapse did not happen while the office was occupied. Only tho day before several members of his family were In the office, which was com pletely wrecked. Sell-wood Republican Club. The Sellwood Republican Club held a business meeting at Fireman's Hall Wednesday evening, with a fair attend ance of the members. J. E. Reinkle, pres ident presided for the first time since his election, and demonstrated that the club made no mistake in selecting him as the presiding officer. Adoption of the new con stitution and by-laws was the main busi ness, and this was soon accomplished. On motion, the president appointed a com mittee on finance to secure subscriptions to carry on the club until after election. Then followed some short talks. Thomas C. Devlin made a good Impression in an address on the functions of good govern ment, and he paid a tribute to the enthu siasm of the Sellwood organization. A. C. Lomlre, from the Seventh Ward, was present, and responded with a short talk. He said that the Seventh Ward being op posite the Eighth, the Interests of both were largely Identical, and the speaker looked forward to the time when a free ferry would be established in thai part of tho city. Chief Campbell, who hap pened In while inspecting the premises of tho volunteers, responded in a short talk. In which he said that the volunteers of Sellwood deserved much credit for what they had done in the protection of prop erty at Sellwood. The Chief received. much applause. Secretary Austin also spoke for the club and welcomed the visitors from other portions of the city. At a future meeting provisions will be made for speak ers. CoR-wwell and Grcinr Will Speak. Multnomah-Union Republican Club will have a public meeting tomorrow evening at its quarters in the Holman block, cor ner East Washington street and Grand avenue. Good music will be provided for that occasion, and addresses will be deliv ered by C. A. Cogswell and J. TGregg. who were announced to speak hH Sat urday night. All will bo made welcome at thoydub quarters. Rev. Mr. Kerr Recovering. Rev. W. T. Kerr, pastor of the Central Methodist Church, of Alblna, who sus tained a fracture of his leg some time ago. Is getting along very satisfactorily. Only tho small bone of the ankle was fractured, but that la sufficient to prove very annoy ing to an active man. Mr. Kerr waa able to occupy his pulpit last Sunday night, and can now walk around fairly well. East Side Notes. Gospel meetings are being held in the MIsslss'ppi-Avenue Congregational Church every night the present week. There Is quite an Interest displayed and the meet ings are full of Interest. The proposed Improvement of Mississippi avenue from Goldsmith to Morris streets. Lower Alblna, is regarded ns highly essen tial. The avenue was once planked, but this has worn completely out. At present, It is almost Impassable, the car tracks making it difficult to get from one side of the street to the other.

Tho United States Flour Milling Com pany Is the successor of the Hecker-Jones-Jowell Milling Company, and is also In the hands of receivers. The first move made by counsel for the stockholders was the serving of a. notice upon the Franklin Trust Company, which is the trustee of the mortgage. The notice as serts that "It Is the purpose of the pro jected reorganization to absorb the Hecker-Jones-Jewell Milling Company In the reorganized corporation, and to subordi nate the Interests of the Hecker-Jones-Jewell. Milling Company to those of the reorganized corporation." The trust company was notified that In the event of its failure to comply with the terms of the notice it would be held liable by the bondholders, who have In stituted the suit, for all damage that may result. o Receiver for D.
