Eleventh aad Clcy Bis.. 3 and SP.U Look: Oxjt for This Swtndue. The man who calls et residences and says he has been sent after a suit of clothes, -which the owner wants cleaned and pressed, Is around again. Whether he Is the same lellow who was working this racket here a year or two ago has not yet been ascer tained. One of his tricks at that time was going to the house of a prominent physician, and getting away with his dress suit by saying that the doctor was going out to a banquet, and would dress at his office, and so had sent for his evening clothes. Yesterday, shortly after a resi dent of Twelfth street had started for his office down town, a man called at his house and said he had been sent after a cult of clothes, which needed cleaning and pressing. He was told that the mas.er of the house had not laid out any suit as was usual in such cases. He said he had met the owner of the clothes a few blocks down the street, an-t had been told to come for the suit. The mistress of the house told the fellow to wait till she could ask her husband by telephone which suit he wanted cleaned, and the tellow went off, saying that he would be back, but he did not return. He is evidently an old hand at the business, ana tne women folks will do well to look out for him. loatikg Ties Down the Sandt. The rise In the Columbia has caused back water in the Sandy, and sawmill men along that river are beginning to dump railroad ties into that stream, considering the backwater the safest kind of a boom. Last year many ties passed over or under the log boom which was Intended to stop them at Troutdale, to the serious loss of the owners. At Eramhall's mill and SIcnsenger's mill there are a large num ber of ties to be thrown Into the river, which will be taken out by an endless chain arrangement at Troutdale and de posited on flat cars. The Cummlngs mill, on the Sandy. Is about ready to begin cut ting ties, and all the mills there have fine bodies of tie timber. The ties cut in the half-dozen or more mills about Pleasant Home are not taken to the river, but aTe hauled direct to Troutdale. The country between Portland and the Sandy Is being rapidly cleared of Its timber, and would soon be converted Into good farms If there was a railroad out there. The long-talked-of railroad to Mount Hood will be built some time before long, and will open up a lot of good farming and timber land, and will besides be a ereat attraction to tourists. Citt Safe Stili Closed. The time lock on the safe In the City Treasurer's office still continues run down, and up to a la;e hour yesterday afternoon all the "experts" called In had not succeeded In ge.tlnjr It opened. Treasuter Hacheney has ir.siruc tions in regard to the method to be used In opening the snfe in .such cases, but, unfortunately, in order to keep them safe he put them in the sar, and they are safe enough In there. They are of about as much use In this emergency as the cable and anchor'whlch the captain In the anecdote had left at home. The affair causes no particular inconvenience, as there is nothing in the safe but some small change, a supply of which has been pro cured from the outside, so business goes on without Interruption.! It Is supposed tnat the clockwork In the time lock has quit work because It has not been cleaned and oiled of late. Six o'clock Closixg Association-. The following Is a brief summary of the pro-gran-me to be presentee at the Marquam Theater tonight. The meeting will be called to order by the president of the Six o'Clock Closing Assocla.icn, and for mally turned over to the officers of the "Woman's Club. Brief Introductory re marks will be made by the chairman, fol lowed by Mayor Storey, after which Mre. "Walter Reed will render a vocal solo.

D. So is Cohtn and Chaplain Mr. S. Gilbert, fol lowed by brief remarks from Rev. A. A. Morrison and other well-known members of the Portland Ministerial Association. Demoralized. The strawberry market lias been badly demoralized for the pas; few days. The showers In this section prevented the berries from ripening, and on Saturday Hood River berries brought 30 cents a pound. At the same time Cali fornia berries In bad order were being peddled about town at 5 cents per basket. Yesterday Roseburg strawberries were belling for 20 cents per basket, and a largo lot of California berries, which arrived in poor condition, were being gotten rid of at any price. Many cases of California berries have been thrown away. A few days of bright, warm weather would fill the market with Mount Tabor strawberries and put an end to California importations for the season. Big Building to Be Occupied The fine stone building a the Intersection of Sixth and Ankeny streets, which was built by the Snell, Heltshu & YVoodard Co , and occupied by them as a wholesale drug house up to the time of their fail ure.

Over Ixjwer "Wharves. The water came over the lower wharf at the foot of Alder street yestercay morning, show ing that the annual fioojijin. the Columbia Is on, and earlier than usual. No one imagines that the rise will be great enough to causi any particular annoyance. Some had an Idea that the water would not get over the wharves this season, as this has been known to happen more than once. The water is supposed to be coming from the Rockies, in British Columbia, ard as the rise Is earlier than usual. It will prob ably not last so long as usual. Dull Around the Citt Hall. Coun cilmen are not numerous around the City Hall these days, and even the Mayor Is not so much In evidence there as he usod to be. There will be a meeting of the Council tomorrow, but It is not known that there is any business of importance to come up for consideration. A lot of street work lh under way, and there will probably be a number of ordinances to pass In connection with this, but there Is not likely to be much outside of routine business coming up until election Is over Annual Meeting Today. The Free K'ndergartcn Association of Portland will hold its annual meeting this afternoon at 4 o'clock In the Portland Academy building. There will be a short business session, to be followed by a. good programme by kindergarten pupils, and also an address by D Soils Cohen.

At a meeting of Clan Macleay last night it was decided to celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday by giving a concert In the Ar mory. May 23. for tho benefit of the monu ment fund. The programme has not yet been fully made up, but will consist of the best musical talent In the city. The entire proceeds will be given to the monu-, ment fund. Clan Macleay has always been successful with entertainments of this kind. In February It raised 5C0 for the fund for the benefit of the widows aril orphans of English soldiers who lost their lives in the Boer war, and numerous other charities have received substantial aid from its handb. The-present object is one which will appeal to every one, and which deserves hearty support. He "Was Made Up. An engine-driver rushing his team to a fire a day or two since with his face covered with lather, except a strip on on? side, where the bar ber had made one srrape as the bell rang, attracted considerable attention. Behold ers were at a loss to understand whether the driver was a gray-bpnrdsd patriarch of the profession of whether he was made up for the occasion. It Is nothing un usual for cmplovos of tho fire department to have to leave the table with their meal unfinished, or the barber's chair ha'.f shaved, to answer to an alarm. They usually have time between alarms to get these matters straightened out. Promising Crop cf Quail. Reports re ceived by Game Warden Qulmby from all parts of the "Wltlamette Valley indicate that the crop of pheasants and quail is going to be very large this year. One man roports that in driving from Lebanon to Albany he counted 70 old pheasants, the young ones not being .seen. The mild Winter and early Spring has been very favorable for the broods of young birds. Many of the pheasants are already think ing about a second brood. Ffroin several sections reports have been received to the effect that quail ore numerous, and are raiting large broods of young ones. Trout-Fishing Not Good. Fishermen are not having much luck In the trout streams this year, or If they are they are not saying anything about It. One sports man reports having hod fair sport fishing the Sands' with- a fly up near the pipe line bridge. He caught some mountain trout, and a salmon, but no salmon trout. Several fishermen visited the Clackamas Sunday, but had poor luck. In the ab sence of the usual supply of troat, it might bo Imagined that the fish liars would come out strong, but poor luck seems to have a depressing effect on them as well as the truthful fishermen. Baseball. The baseball game between the High School and Bishop Scott Acad emy, that was postponed last Saturday, will be played this afternoon on the field at Nineteenth and Everett streets. Tho teams are evenly matched, and the out come is much in doubt. The result, though, means a good deal towards secur ing possession of the much-coveted Feld cnhelmer trophy. The batteries will bo Martin and Weatherford for the Academy, and Harklns and Swope for the High School. Golf. The last monthly competition for the Corbett cup took place yesterday, and resulted In Miss Heltshu qualifying with the scratch score of 64. The finals will be played Tuesday. May 29, and those eligible for same are: siesdames Wilson, Koehler. Aycr. Wilcox, Shepherd, and Misses Macleay, King and Heltshu. The players are all very evenly matched, and an exciting contest Is looked for. On Saturday Messrs. Gilford and Bourne qual ified for the Wilcox trophy.

P. S. Plummer. who has a 20-acre orchard a few miles west of town, finds that hts Italian prune3 are all gone for this year. He has a few Petltes, but not enough to make It an object to build a dryhouse for. His peara are also badly damaged, as well as the early varieties of apples. Late apples are in full supply, and he thought he was go ing to have a big crop of Astrachans until he made an examination a few days ago, as the trees were loaded with the young fruit up to last week. The cherry crop will also be light on the farm, although his cherry trees in South Portland will produce abundantly. The doctor thinks the protection afforded by the numerous nouses has saved his city cherries. "Work Suspended. Work on the Cas cade locks has been suspended until the middle of next month, on account of the high water Kicrnan & Taylor, of Port-, land, who have the contract for rlprap ptng the middle wall, expect to resume operations after the water recedes, and will put on 0 men for the remainder of the season. The work will consist In quarrying rock, running It on a tran way to the locks, and placing it oa the sloping banks to prevent their further washing away. It is thought that J1E0.OM to $200,000 will yet be needed to complete the locks so that steamers may pass through In all stages of tho water. To Meet Dr. Martikelli. A. consider able number of dignitaries and members of the Catholic churcn. who have been appointed a committee to meet Rev. Dr. Martinelll, papal delegate, who is on his way hero to confer the pallium on Arch- ;eteii9(toi bishop Christie, will leave over the O. R. & N. this morning. They will meet Dr. Martinelll at The Dalles, and at 1 P. M. the party will leave for Portland on the steamer Alliance, which has been special ly chartered for the occasion. The party will arriv e here about 7:30 P. M., and will probably be met at the wharf by a largo number of members of the Catholic de nomination. Cannery-Tenders. Captain W. H. Whitcomb, who fitted: up the steamer Borthwlck, purchased by J. W. Cook, and sent her around to the Sound, has com pleted the overhauling of the steamer II waco, having put new engines In her and given her a new house, and started her for the Sound. Mr. Cook will have two first-class tenders for his canneries, and ought to be able to make a good showing this season. Since he returned to the Sound Howard Winters has ascer tained why he had to leave there and come fiver to the Columbia for his health. It is well known that the Sound Is Infected with teredoes, which bore Into anything not made of metal they came across. Winters says that the teredoes got under Mr. Cook's undcrplnlng and he was obliged to come over and wade In the fresh water of tho Columbia to get rid of them. About a Dog. A dog case is to occupy Justice Kraemer's attention next Satur day afternoon. Carl W. Lelck has been arrested at the Instance of A. C. Gibson, who charges him with "malicious and wanton injury to an animal, or other per sonal property." It seems that a gang of canines had gathered about Mr. Leick's premises, much to his annoyance, and he turned a shotgun loose at them, breaking the leg of a dog belonging to Mr. Gibson, who places the value of tho Injured ca nine at $o00. The defendant was permit ted to depart on his own recognizance. Could Not Collect. JusUce Kraemer yesterday decided the case of H. A. Hol man vs. Lizzie Smith, in favor of the de fendant. Holman, a musician, had sued the woman, who goes by the name of "Livorpool Liz," for 5S0 balance alleged to bo due for services at Evergreen Park, Piedmont, last Summer. The Justice thought the woman was not proprietor of the place, at that time, and that Harry Bush, the manager, was not even her agent.

It Is so long since an old folks' concert has been given lrr Portland that the ono announced for this evening at the First Congregational Church Is sure to attract a large and appreciative audience. It is called a Colonial concert, and the dames of 103 and more years ago will bo there in powdered hair and crinoline. Tho regular church choir, so well known for the exceptionally fine quality of Its work Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer, Mrs. Ra ley, Mr. Belcher and Mr. Montgomery will be assisted by an excellent chorus pf SO voices.
