The coach-cleaning- yards at the Terminal Company's ground present a scene of great activity these dayo. About 100 men are employed there, and about 80 cars are cleaned and put In readiness for going out dally. It Is interesting to walk through the yards if permission la secured and watch the various operations In progress. In all the fine coaches, alter the carpets have been taken out to be beaten and the cars have been swept out, the cush ions are cleaned by a powerful air blast, connected by a hose with an air compres sor. This beat a new broom all hollow and leaves not a particle of dust In any of the nooks or crannies about a car. In the cars lighted by electricity the storage batteries are charged from a dynamo In the baggage car operated by a stationary engine, while near by other cars are be ing furnished with a supply of Plntsch gas. Beside the 60 carcleaners employed In the yards, there are a number of re pairers, carpenters, air-brake Inspectors, ota, which swell the number of employes to about 100. All these men are busy while care are being cleaned and got ready for going out. Every man under stands his business, and the work Is done with dispatch and In a thorough manner, and when a train Is delivered on the track In front of the platform It Is as clean as a whistle and shines like a black Jug In the sun. ADVERTISING! OREGON IN GOTHAM. A convenient compendium of information in regard to the wealth and resources of Oregon was compiled and edited by W. M. Klllingsworth from the New Year's number of The Oregonian for 1899, under ihe t tie of "Oregon Pocket-Book." Some 1500 copies of this little book were for warded by Olde & King, of this city, to their agent in New York to be distribut ed. .The agent. Mr. Shipley, took the nooks to the offices of the various railroad companies in "railroad row" and all the agents were glad to receive them and asked for more. They said literature of this kind concerning Oregon was Just w;hat they needed. They had plenty of litera ture of the kind from Puget Sound cities, but none from Oregon, and there was a constant demand for information In re gard to Oregon, which they had been unable to supply. They would dletrlbute the books with pleasure and would like to receive more books concerning Oregon. Tho matter is worthy of consideration by the Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, Bureau of Informat-'on and by cit izens generally, and steps should be taken to see that supplies of such literature are furnished to all who will distribute it. Photographers' Association. Secre tary Charles Butterworth. of the Pho tographer's Association of Portland, has la?ued a circular for the state convention of professional photographers, changing the date to July 10. At first It was, thought Juno would be the best month, but after careful consideration the officers! of tho Portland and the Salem associations have concluded the latter date Is preferable. Secretary Butterworth makes an earnest appeal to all professional photographers to attend this convention, and sets forth the benefits to be derived from a general state organization meeting annually to exchange ideas and discuss work. The Portland association will prepare a cor d'al reception to all the visiting members of the fraternity. Efforts will be made for special railroad and hotel rates, and all other Inducements possible will be of fered to draw the photographers of the etate into one organization. Fat Cattle Off the Range. J. H. Aitken, manager of the Oregon Commer cial Company at Huntington, is at the Perkins. He expects to see large num bers of cattle and sheep shipped from Huntington this season, he says, and al ready fully 2000 head of cattle have bsen sent toward Portland. These are mostly fat steers taken right off the ranges ready for slaughter, a thing that has not been done for years th's early in the Spring. The unusually open Winter and favorable weather for grass is accountable for these early shipments of beef. The first ship ments of sheep will be made toward tho close of the month, after shearing. The Bhearers are In the height of their work Just now. The sheep shipments will be mostly made eastward and will consist of young wethers Intended for feeding in Wyoming and Nebraska for the markets of Chicago next "Winter. Higher Wages for Laborers. Labor ing men are scarce In Portland, even for city work, and street contractors are now offering $2 per day for 10 hours' work, a thing not heard of since the boom times of 10 years ago. An employment agent said yesterday that street contracts had been let within the past few days which would keep hundreds of men at work for the next year. Recently men have been plentiful at $1 50 to $1 75 per day. The demand for loggers, farmers, milkers and railroad laborers still exceeds the supply, and the Japanese, who are coming In by dozens from various points on the Pacific Coast, readily engage In work on their arrival. Received Their Countrtmen. Two Japanese boarding-house keepers were tried yesterday In tho Municipal Court for soliciting patrons at the Grand Central station without a llcenso, but they were found not guilty. They exhibited tele grams from Seattle notifying them that certain numbers of their countrymen would arrive In this city at a certain time, and the boarding masters merely went to the station to meet them. A Japanese lawyer and a Japanese Interpreter, neither of whom understood English very well, ren dered the progress of the lmestlgation very slow, but Acting Judge Mason did not think the defendants had violated any ordinance. Will Go to Nome. Frank Y. Schuck, formerly employed In the office of the City Auditor, but for the past three or four years in business at Juneau, Is In the city and was looking up old friends at the City Hall yesterday. He brought down his family, who will remain hore, and he will leave for Cape Nome on the Elder to remain there about two weeks on business, and will then return here on his way back to Juneau. Mr. Schuck says Juneau is a good place to do bus iness in, but is not a pleasant place of residence for women and children who have been accustomed to the mild cli mate of Oregon. Sewer Contract. Joseph Paquet, of Portland, and Alonzo Gesner, of Saiem, have 'jecm awarded the contract for con structing a sewer system for the town of Everett. Wash. The system comprises about 11 miles of sewers, and the aggre gate cost will be about 540,000. There were seven Lids in all for tho work, two being from Portland, and Messrs. Paquet and Gesner bting the lowest bidders the con tract was awarded to them. They pro pose to hn-e everything in readiness for commencing work on the Job by May 20. Left for MANim.-'-Captaln Taussig, late Lighthouse Inspector for the 13Lh district, has started for San Francleco to sail from there for Manila on the 11th". His successor. Captain W. D. Bay, failed to arrive In time to relieve him. and Cap tain Taussig was instructed by the de partment that he need not wait for his arrival. Captain Day Is likely to arrive on any -train now.

There Is a prospect that the lack of fine varieties of hard woods suitable for cabinet making In this state will In the near future be supplied from the forests of the Philip pine Islands, where there is a great va riety or beautiful wood. An importing firm" in Portland has already an agtnt in the Philippines looking over the tim ber situation, and it has received speci mens of several kinds of hard woods sus ceptible of a. fine polish and of great beauts. It Is said that these woods can bo supplied at a cost lees than that of quarter-sawed oak, and furniture manu facturers will glvo them a trial. J. Buck ley was yesterday exhibiting speclmea of three varieties of these woods, polished and varnished. They are all hard and heavy. The marra shows r.ch coloring, somewhat resembling dark mahogany. The molava Is of lighter color, very heavy, and takes a fine finish, and the epe some what resembles It. These and other fine woods are found In profusion In the Philippines, and if tho Government does not place a tariff on them, can be laid down here at reasonable rates. They may be the means of building up great in dustries on this Coast in the way of fur niture manufacturing, etc, for the East has no lumber to equal them In paint of beauty and durability. Fine Cutter for Naval Reserve. A fine 12-oar cutter, originally on the cruiser Philadelphia, was received by the Adjutant-General yesterday for the use of tho two divisions of the Naval Battalion stationed in Portland. This cutter is a fine specimen of marine architecture, of course on a smaller scale than a torpedo-boat, and lays In the shade the two antquated tubs that have heretofore served the con venience of the Naval Reserve. The cut ter was taken over to the Portland Row ing Club's quarters, where the Naval Re serve has secured space for their craft. By double banking the oars, for which there is plenty of room, from SO to 40 men can be placed In the cutter, a capac ity that would be of great valuo In case of a landlrrg party. The cutter Is merely loaned to the Naval Reserve by the Navy Department, but will likely be kept In definitely. If the Oregon Battalion needs it. After the Naval Reserve organization is raised to greater perfection, it is the purpose to purchase a ooe-poundcr rapid fire gun to mount In tho bow of the cut ter. This would convert the ordinary practice boats of tho Reserve Into a very formidable fighting machtne. Another cutter Ie expected for tho Astoria divis ion. New Poultrt Farm. Tho Mount Hood Poultry Farming Company is among the latest Portland venturca It filed Its ar ticles of Incorporation May 1. Its of ficers and Incorporators are: A. E. Cooper, president: F. M. Moore, secretary; L. B. Gorham, treasurer. The company Is cap italized for $0000. The now company has secured 14 acres located one and one half miles east of Mount Tabor. This place Is being equipped with 25 Incubators, with a capacity of 360 eggs each, neces sary brooder houses, hot water plant, etc. Mr. Moore came to Portland about a year ago from New York State and thorough ly understands the industry. He estab lished the business some time ago in a small way. Mr. Cooper, the president, is general agent of the local passenger de partment of tho Rock Island and Mr. Gorman, the treasurer. Is commercial agent for the same company. The com pany will raise thoroughbred Wyandottes and Pekln ducks. Child Smothered to" Death. An in quest was held yesterday to determine the cause of the death of the S-weeks-old boy of Mrs. Green, 249& Front street. The verdict was that the child had been accidentally smothered while In bed wtth the mother. The Coroner says children under 6 months should not sleep with older persons, as there Is great danger of ac cidents like this. Mrs. Green is heart broken over the loss of tho little one. An inquest was also held on the body of J. E. Inglow, who died suddenly at Keith's lodging-house, 43 Third street, yesterday morning. Deceased was a native of Mis souri, and 70 years of age. Death was caused from valvular lesion of the heart. A son, daughter and son-in-law were with him when he died, and did their best to procure medical aid, but when the doc tor arrived death had already occurred. New Roads Wanted. Several petitions for new roads came before the County Commissioners at their meeting yesterday. One, signed by George A. Brodle and others, asked that the Powell's Valley road on section 6 and 7 be widened from 30 to 00 feet. Another, signed by Robert Bell and others, asked for a county road from Palatine Hill to RIvorview ceme tery. Joseph Ellis and others asked for the laying out of a road between Brower and Latourell Falls. A. Nelbur and others wanted a road at the Intersection of Hoffman road, in sections IS and 19. In the petition of Elmer Hawk, the view ers made their report, and the claim for damages filed by W. H. Maxwell was read, and assessors of damage were ap pointed. The same was done in the peti tion of Henry Thompson, wherein David CKeef made a claim for damages. Impudent Lawbreaker. Numerous complaints are mode In regard to bicycle riders using the sidewalks in every part of the residence portion of the city just as freely as they have during the Winter. The most flagrant case of the kind is reported by the wives of two prominent citizens-, who, while walking down Seventh street, were nearly run over by a man on a bicycle. Ono of the women remarked, "I thought bicycle riding was not now allowed on the sidewalks," upon which the Impudent fellow 6houted: "It Is not al lowed, but wo do It all the same." After election, when there aro no more city of ficials trying to be elected, this sort of thing may be stopped, but this Is not like ly to happen before, unless peoplo take the law In their own hands. Civil Service Examinations. The United States Civil Sen-ice Commission announces that on Juno 19 examinations will tako place in Portland for the posi tions of Inspector of woolens.

From the eligibles resulting from these examinations certifi cation will bo made to fill several exist ing vacancies. Persons desiring to com pete should at once apply to the Civil Serv ice Commission, Washington, D. C., for application blanks. Slioht Blockade. A blockade of the Southern Pacific line between Jefferson and Albany yesterday, caused by tbe breaking of an axle on one of a train of 10 freight care, rendered it necessary for the San Francisco express, due hero at 6:30 last cvenlns. to cross over from Al bany to Corvallis and come In on the West Side road. The exprers leaving for San Francisco last evening also went out on the West Side line. The Albany local, which did not get south of the blockade, returned here last night, bringing all pas sengers from north of Albany who were waiting for the train due here at G:30. The necessary changes caused but little Inconvenience, and the track will probably bo opened today. Assaulted Paddy Lynch, an Astoria boarding-house keeper, encountered Dick McCavan and Steve Drummond, two men in tho some business here, yesterday, and the result was a terrible head put on the unfortunate Lynch, who thereupon had the assailants arrested for assault and bat tery. The fracas occurred at the Star Sand Company's dock, and little Is known of the cause, further than that the Port land men accused Lynch of encroaching on their territory. The case will "be ven tilated in the Municipal Court today. In tho meantime, the defendants are at lib erty on their own recognizance. Barbers' Social Tonight. Arion Kall. Prize Waltz.

E. Church. The church being locked, the Janitor was found, and persuaded to open It, and those there E. W. Allen, W. S. Holt and Willie Holt organized the as sociation. From this beginning it has grown to be one of the most potent In fluences for the advancement and Im provement of Sunday school work.

WILL BUY A SHEEP RANCH. Iovra. Man to Pat Money In an East ern Oregon Industry. O. L. Bennett, of Brighton, la., who has been engaged in shecpralslng on a small scale in connection wth farming in Washington County, of that state. Is arranging to purchase a big band of sheep in Morrow County, Oregon, and a sheep ranch in the John Day Vatley. He has been spending several weeks In Eastern Oregon, and finds that nearly all who have stuck to the sheep business through periods of depression, as well as times of high prices for fool and mutton, havo all become wealthy. When been yesterday at the Belvedere, Mr. Bennett said there is considerable difference between raising sheep In Iowa and Oregon, as the animals have to be fed from five to 6even months of each year there, and the land Is too high-priced to make the business very profitable, though the market for all classes of sheep Is about $1 better than here. He figures that four sheep may be maintained to the acre in Iowa, and that it takes as much land to support one cow as ten sheep. As land runs in price from 123 to JC0 an acre In Washington County, he has con cluded to take advantage of Uncle Sam's free range on the John Day hills, where one has to own only what land he nesds to raise fodder on. He will purchase ewes In (he Fall and sell them the following Summer, after lambing and shearing are over. He thus expects to avoid the an noyance of keeping the flocks during the Summer months, when they would have to be driven long" distances In the moun tains, which are already fully s ocked with transient sheep between May and Novem ber. He finds quite a large number of sheep for sale now in Eastern Oregon, the own ers apparently fearing a drop In prlcss, and he confesses to a little fear In this regard himself. He has fully determined to buy Into the business, however, aa those who have the sheep for sale are all wealthy as a general rule, and desire to retire or enter some calling which, though not paying so well, will need less of the rough camping-out life In attending to de tails. He finds good land still very cheap on the bunchgrass prairies of Eastern Oregon and In the fertile valleys of the John Day AUXILIARY ORGANIZED. Thirty-One Members to Camp Har rington Adjunct. A very promising auxiliary to Harring ton Camp, Spanish and Filipino War Vet erans, was organized last evening In the camp hall, Alisky building. Over 30 mem bers signed the roll while the meeting was In progress, and many others are as sured.
