First Steps Taken Toward the BIj? Beech. - Street Sewer, on the East Side Routine Worlc The Common Council yesterday refused to take action on two of Mayor Storey's vetoes, and referred them to committees. A $1100 crab out of the general fund was authorized as a graft for the Seventh Ward. A protest was filed against Mad ison street, between First and Front, be ing used as a freight depot by the East Side Railway Company. A petition was presented asking that the extensive Beech street sewer system be inaugurated. Ap plication was made for permission to run bicycles on seeral blocks of the sidewalk on Mllwaukle street. A wholesale appli cation was presented for permission to stretch advertising banners across Front street for five months. Mayor Storey pre sided, and all the Counciimen were pres ent, except Baker. Tvro Vetoes Referred. The Mayor presented his veto of the ordinance authorizing the Improvement ol Madison street, from Park to AVest Park, which was, on motion, referred to the committee on streets, to his evident dis satisfaction. A veto of the ordinance urovldincr for the purchase of a dozen settees for the plaza blocks was next presented, and, the question being. Shall the ordinance be come a law notwithstanding the veto of the Mayor? a motion was made to refer it to the committee on parks. The Mayor said it was his opinion that the first veto had not been properly dis posed of. He thought a veto should be acted on at once, and asked for a stay of proceedings, "while he consulted Rob erts' Rules of Order for information on the subject. Jameson was of opinion that when a veto was submitted to the Council it had passed out of the hands of the Mayor, and the Council could do what it pleased with It. The Mayor not being able to find any authority on the subject, the veto was re ferred to the committee on parks, the Mayor's suggestion that it took eight votes to dispose of a veto being ignored. Biker Want Sidewalk Privilege. Cameron Introduced an ordinance au thorizing the riding of bicycles on the sidewalk on the west side of Mllwaukle street, between Karl and Holgate streets, from C to 9 A. M., and from 4 to 7 P. M. The reasons given for asking this is that the street Is very rough there. There aro only a few houses on the half-dozen blocks, and two of the householders havo consented to allow bicycles on the side walk. The ordinance was read twice and referred to the committee on streets. Grab of ?HOO Out of General Fund. The City Englnfer submitted a report on the proposed opening of Kelly street, through Terwllliger Park, recommending that, on account of the slope of the hill side in the park, the roadway be made only 24 feet in width, and that a trestle be built across a gulch 190 feet In length. Thus Teduced, the roadway could be built for $1100. It Is not shown that the open ing of this street would be of any benefit to any one except one Kerrigan, and the street will lead nowhere, as Thomas M. Richardson xows he vill not allow It to bo extended through his property: but the report was adopted, and the grab out of the general fund authorized. Jameson later endeavored to have the vote by which the report was adopted reconsidered, but there were only two votes for this. The only excuse for raid ing the general fund for this careless job Is that the Seventh Ward has not had its share out of the general fund, and those who have had their share felt constrained to vote for this graft "Want to Stretch Banners. Some eight or ten dealers In agricul tural implements, cows and horses, har ness and saddlery respectfully petitioned for permission to put up banners advertis- r.g their business across Front street, to stay up, till September 1. The- request was reierrea to tne street committee. It brought a smile on the countenances of most of the Councilman, and it Is "high ly probable that the very modest request will not be granted. The request Is not so surprising as the fact that permission was deemed necessary. Banners of this kind are usually stretched across streets or a'dewalks without leave being asked, and in the present style of enforcing ordi nances they can be left there from July to eternity if they do not rot out. Protent Asrninst Car Blockade. The petition of storekeepers and property-owners on Madison street, between Front and First, praying to be relieved of the nuisance created by the East Side Railway Company using that part of the street for a freight depot and allowing empty cars to stand on the street most of the day, was referred to the street committee. Improving Four Sixth-Street Block. A petition for the improvement of Sixth street from Morrison to Salmon, with vit rified brick, was referred to the street committee. It has the names of a majority of the interested propertj -owners s.gned to It, so the improvement will probably be made. Street Improvements. An ordinance declaring the proportion Ate share of the cost of constructing a ewer on East Twenty-ninth street from East Tamhill street to the sewer In Bel mont street, and appropriating $279 20, the oost thereof, was passed. An ordinance declaring the probable cost of Improving Broadway from East First to East Second streets, and appropriating $303 91, the cost thereof, was passed.

Tillamook, from Union avenue to East Seventh. Sixth, from Washington- to Hoyt. Alley between Cook avenue and Free mont street, from Commercial to Ganten beln avenue. Rodney avenue, from Hancock to Knott; and Sacramento, from Union avenue to East Seventh. An ordinance extending the time of com pletion of the rights and privileges granted the North Pacific Terminal Company for laying a switch on Thirteenth street, 120 days, was passed. The company Is unable to get the rails for the switch at pres ent, and therefore asked for the extension of time. The committee on streets recommended that further consideration of an ordi nance granting the Oregon: Telephone & Telegraph Company a franchise over the streets of the city for 50 yean be 'n definltely postponed. Adopted. On recommendation of the street com mlttee, a remonstrance against the im provement of Clifton street was placed on file. The reports of the City Engineer on the proposed opening oi Twentieth street and the extension of Upehur street were re ferred to t2ie street committee. The petition of the Hand Manufactur ing Company for the vacation of Wat son "street was referred to tho street com mittee Beech-Street Sewer.

HImes, asking to be paid $200 on account of damages to his horse and buggy, caused by a runa way city team colliding with them, was referred to the judiciary committee. The remonstrance of the First Presby terian Church against the proposed Im provement of Alder street, from Sixth to Lownsdale, with wood blocks, was re ferred to the street committee. The Poundimaster submitted a report showing that the receipts of his depart- j ment furnished $7C 75 toward paying the $200 it costs tho city. The Municipal Judge presented a report Showing that the receipts of his tribunal for April amounted to the magnificent sum of $49. A petition for the improvement of Thir-tv-eecond street, from the extension of T!hurman to block 21. Willamette Heights, by macadamizing, was granted, and the Olty Engineer was directed to prepare the necessary plans and specifications.

Widows of Engineer and Flremnn "Who "Were Killed in a Wreck ' Aalc for $5000 Encli. IOuise Miler, administratrix of tho es tate of her husband, L. D. filler, deceased, yesterday filed suit In tho State Circuit Court against tho O. R. &. N. Co., to re cover 53000 damages because of his death by accident, November 2C, 1S99. Miler -was fireman on a locomotive attached to a passenger train. "While running on tho trip from Portland to The Dalles, the en gine was thrown from, the track a short distance west of Rooster Rock Station, and Mllor received injuries causing his death. It is alleged that the defendant was neg ligent In operating its trains over a road constructed under a steep slope of a hill or mountain, without protecting the same from rocks and debris, which was at all times likely to come down the slope on to the track, and that a large rock and other debris had slid down on tho track, causing the engine to be derailed. It Is furthermore stated that tho place was on a sharp curve, and It had been raining heavily before tho occurrence, resulting in the loose rocks becoming saturated with water and In an unsafe and dangerous condition. It Is also averred that the company failed to keep a watchman at this point, and neglected to take any means o make the track safe. Eva Hunter, whose husband, Robert Hunter, was killed by the same accident, as administratrix of his estate, has filed a similar action against the O. R & N. Co. ,for $3000. Hunter was an engineer, and was engaged in running the locomo tive. The allegations in this complaint aro precisely the same as in the other case. A. S. Bennett, of The Dalles, appears as attorney for the plaintiffs. Salt for Divorce. Tlllie J. Conlin has sued John J. Conlin for a divorce on the ground of cruel treat ment, and has also asked the court for an order restraining the defendant from molesting or in any manner interfering with her during the pendency of the case. They were married at Portland. January 11, 1S99. The plaintiff avers that about two weeks afterwards the defendant, un mindful of his marriage vows, maliciously struck her, inflicting great bodily Injury, and causing her much, mental suffering. In March, 1ES9. she states he again as saulted and beat her. and at another time assaulted and struck her at Grand avenue and East Morrison street On December 23, 1S99. In church, she says, he cruelly boat and shook her, and on another occa sion while she was asleep choked her and threatened to kill her. She avers further that he came home one morning under the Influence of liquor and threatened to take her life, and to save herself she was compelled to jump through the window, and sho was afraid to re-enter the house and remained outside In tho cold and wet. and finally sought shelter in the house of Mrs. Charles Iiarsen. Mrs. Conlin also charges that the defendant is of a cruel nature, and Is frequently under the In fluence of liquor, and at times Is entirely out of his mind, and since their union has spent most of his earnings In saloons. In conclusion, tho plaintiff says her husband Is employed by Sharkey & Co. and earns good wages. Sho asks for $75 for costs to prosecute the suit. JM temporary alimony, and to be allowed to resume her maiden name. There are no property rights. Mary A Keyes has filed suit against J. A. Key; for a divorce because of deser tion. She avers that she was united in marriage to the defendant at "Vancouver, Wash.. In 1532. and that he left her with out just cause August 1. 1S93, and has failed to provide for her since. There are no children. In the divorce suit of J. W. Webb against KrUtlna WeTb, the defendant has filed an affidavit for publication of sum mons. He says among other things that jhe deserted her home and child about a month ago. and. although he has Inquired from a number of her friends. Tic has been unable to ascertain her present whereabouts. Notice of Appcnl. Andrew Carlson, convicted on two charges of "robbery, being armed with a dangerous weapon." yesterday, by his at torney. Charles J. Schnabel. filed notice .of appeal to the Supreme Court In both cases. Carlson held up, a street-car at Willamette Heights and robbed Conductor Knudson and Motorman Harding, and he alsn robbed Mrs. Dickerson. The ground I of the appeal Is that the grand jury, which returned the Indictments, was an illegally constituted body; that the lower court erred In overruling a demurrer to the in dictment; also that the court erred in overruling a motion to elect, and alleged errors In the ruling of the court at the trials. The demurrer set forth that in the street-car case the indictment charged an assort- j$r 523.75 SILKS Sr (Seventy-Nine) 79 Cts Yd been crowded, Hundreds of lace two crimes, because It charged Carlson with the robbery of two men. Knudson and Harding. Vhe motion to elect was as to which of these charges Carlson should be first tried upon. The other principal point Is that there was no evidence at either trial to show that the rifle used was loaded. "Robbery being armed with a dangerous weapon" is punishable by from 5 to 20 years In the penitentiary, while In "simple robbery" the penalty is only from one to five years. If the rifle was not .loaded, it is contenacl the offense committed was only "simple robbery," and that therefore the sentence pro nounced on Carlson of 14 years In each case was Illegal. Probate Matters. Martha NIckerson, administratrix of tho estate of Arthur D. NIckerson, deceased, was authorized to sell three acres of land The petition of J. G. Blank to have his claim of $100 against the estate of H. B. Borthwlck, deceased, allowed, as a pre ferred claim, was denied. D. H. Bamhoff, S. J. Beachler, and A. Klinger were appointed appraisers of the estate of Alice Freeman, deceased. Harry Abrams, Ike Fogel and A. A. Archie were appointed appraisers of the estate of Alfred G. Tucker, deceased.

The company Just closed a very success ful run at Salt Lake City, where they played to standing room for one week. "Ward & Voices Companr. It Is promised that the Ward & Vokes company, now touring in "The Floor Walters." and to be seen at the Marquam Grand Thursday and Friday, May 10 and 11, is the strongest singing ensemble ever heard in farce comedy. The chorus num bers many young ladles who have been selected with a keen care as to their abil ity to sing the varied numbers compris ing this year's musical menu. This chorus Is, of course, entirely independent of the 110 principals. In whose care the comedy elemcnt Is intrusted, and when one stops to think that these principals are such able people as "Ward and Vokes, Lucy Daly, Margaret Daly Vokes, Hattle Ber nard, the Chicago Ladies Quartet Will West, George Sidney. Herhert Dillon and W. B. Rock, it will require very little perceptive' faculty to see that "The Floor Walkers" really promises to be the farce comedy treat of the season. That this ensemble may be ?et off to the best pos sible advantage, E. D. Stair, who directs the fortunes of the organization, has pro vided a lavish scenic Investiture and cos tumes which are described as "simply rav ishing." MUTOSCOPE.

A largo crowd of Volunteers assembled in the hall of Camp H, Spanish and Fil ipino War Veterans, Allsky building, last evening to enjoy the smoker and enter tainment provided by the camp. The order of the events proved quite Interesting. Besides members of the veteran organi zation, Messrs, T. M. Lighter and W. Bit tie Welte aided in enlivening proceedings with excellent music. Mr. Wells ren dered two violin solos and received gen erous applause. Mr. Lighter kindly vol unteered his services as accompanist. Gen eral Summers, Captain E. L. Wells, Cap tain C E. McDonell, Lieutenant G. F. Telfer, Lieutenant J. A. McKIimon and Lieutenant W. E. Moore were among the Volunteer ofllcers present. Captain McDonell. commander of the camp, presided, and contributed materially to the pleasure of the evening with re marks and stories. His old-time popular ity with the boys makes his presence always desirable. General Summers was loudly applauded when he arose. He spoko mainly on the work of aiding the monument fund, which the association had taken up through sale of the souve nir buttons, and asked the soldiers to do their 'best to make the project a eucccos. Captain Wells epoke along the same lines, adding somo explanations of the method of work that would likely be adopted by tho committee. He urged each Volunteer to take buttons and sell them. Lieutenant Telfer urged the members of the Second Oregon to unite In whatever was under taken with all the veterans of the Eighth Army Corps. Remarks were heard from many others present before the enjoya ble gathering came to a close. EXAMINED TIMBER LANDS. WInconnin Lumberman Speaks of OreRon's Forest "Wealtn. Benjamin Sweet, a prominent timber land speculator, of Milwaukee, Wis., Is resting up at the Portland after an ex tended tour through the forests ot Or egon, Washington and Northern Califor nia. He expects to make some purchases of timber lands up the Santiam River, near Mill City, where he has found large bodies of flr, which will be called upon to supply the world's market in the near future. "Fifty years ago," he says, "timber lands were "bought up in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan at the rate of 10 cents per thousand for the timber, and now these same lands are held at $7 50 per thousand stumpage. The purchasers of those days have nearly all passed away, but those who purchase timber lands in Oregon now won't have to wait half a century for their reward, as Oregon contains about all the timber In America that has not been absorbed by large speculators. The forests of Wisconsin and other tim ber states of the Upper Mississippi are well nigh exhausted, and the Atlantic cities must look to Oregon for their lum ber supply within a very few years. There Is yet considerable timber in the Southern States, but it is of the white pine va riety, heavy and sappy, and will not com pare with the fir of Oregon, for struc tural purposes. X have heard a good deal of the timber resources of British Colum bia, but they will not amount to much when drawn In by the markets of the world. In Northern California I found some fine bodies of rpdwood and also In Southern Oregon, but the Oregon flr Is the standard lumber of the world, and Is bound to hold first place In general de mand." He finds considerable land for sale In this state at prices ranging from $000 to $3000 per quarter section, and much of it still remains In first hands. Middlemen, however, are necessary when purchasers desire large bodies in any particular sec tion, as it would be very difficult for spec ulators personally to visit every quarter near or remote, in hunting lands and making estimates on the stumpage. He has been out himself at the head of a party of five for the past few weeks in the Santiam country, and finds there Is a good deal of hard work connected with traveling over the foothills of the Cas cades, where even horseback riding is Impossible. His party goes as far as wagons can be taken, then the saddle and pack horses are used where only trails ex ist; after that the members of the party must take it on foot, and pack what sup plies they can. "He will return to the riant lam within a few days. In speaking of the lasting qualities of red fir, Mr. Sweet says he saw a nemlock four feet In diameter growing on top of a fir which had lain on the hillside near Mill City for nearly a century, and yet Its wood was as firm and sound as when It fell. The roots of the hemlock did not penetrate the fir log, but encircled It, and were drawing sustenance from the soil beneath. Internal Revenue Receipts. -The sale of stamps by D. M. Dunne.
