IMPROVEMENTS TO JETTY
XECOMMENDATIO'S TQ. BE MADE
BY CAPTAIN LANGFITT.
Ue "Will Snfcmit a. Project at Once
for Expending the ?250,000 Ap
propriation. Captain Langfltt, United States En
gineer, was seen yesterday in regard to
the dispatch from Washington published
yesterday morning in connection with the
$,200,000 appropriated for the Improvement
of the mouth of the Columbia. He sold
he had not jet received instructions from
Washington to prepare 'a project, but ex
pected to receive, such Instructions any
day now, and the matter would receive
prompt attention. He is to leave for Alas
ka in a short time, but will have his
project prepared and sent to Washington
bpfore going away. He will recommend
the repairing of the plant used in build
ing the Jetty, and the rebuilding of the
tramway, and hopes to have the. work well
under way by the end of July, and perhaps
sooner. This U, In line with the opinion
expressed by the Engineers' Department,
that the appropriation will be best ex
pended in making preparation for the work J
of extending the Jetty, to be undertaken j
under the larger appropriation which :t
Is anticipated will be made at the next
session of Congress.
The present Jetty, which is about four
and a half miles long, was started in 3SS3.
and work was suspended in October, 195,
although of the appropriation of $3,800,003
made for the work, less than $2,000,000 had
been expended. The Jetty as constructed
produced such a beneficial effect on the
channel across the bar at the mouth of
the Columbia by creating in a short time
a depth of 30 feet at low water, that It
was thought that the improvement would
continue and the further extension of tho
Jetty would pot be necessary. This, how
ever, has not proved' to be the case. Tho
depth has not increased, and as it is very
desirable and necessary that there should
be a. 40-foot channel at the entrance to
the Columbia properly to accommodate
the ever-increasing commerce of the Port
of Portland, which calls for vessels of
the largest size, it has become impera
tive that the Jetty bo extended.
During the time the present Jetty was
under construction the plant in use grew
till there were five locomotives, and some
65 cars employed in transporting stone,
a large hydraulic plledriver, a fleet of
barges, a number of derricks, etc.
After operations ceased in 1S93, these en
gines, cars, etc., were given a year's rest,
and have since been constantly employed
on tho fortifications in course of construc
tion at Fort Stevens, which are now about
completed, as far as the present project ex
tends. Tho plant has tlierefore not been
allowed to rust out or depreciate through
Inactivity, but has been worn by hard
nervlce, and needs overhauling and put
ting in "thorough repair -before, being used
Jm tho construction of an extension to tho
Jetty.
Tho tramway used In constructing the
present 'Jetty4' has in part been destroyed
by Winter storms, and will need to be re
paired and in part reconstructed. These
matters will be taken in hand as soon as
Captain Langfitt's project Is accepted by
the department. and when an appropria
tion for the extension of the Jetty is se
cured everything will be in readiness for
active prosecution of tho work.
BEGINNING AT SEVENTY.
Digest Man WitU ne Good-rrin Com.
pany Is tlic Youngest Actor.
That gray-halrcd old man, who looks
for all the world like ihe crmppse- Liszt,
that appears In one or two nets, of "When
We Were Twenty-One," is Fred-rick Sil
cox. He Is both the xldet and the young
est actpr with the Goodwin company. He
has been acting less than .lx months. I"e
has been living more than three-ecorc
years- and ten. Ho looks tho actor, every
inch of him, and while he 13 act allowed
to do any of the heavy iarts yet. he ie
clarcs that it is In him .o handle then,
and that he hopes to e doui? so before
the frost of Fall comes again.
For years he has oeen connected with
the theaters and duos in New York,
where he held some responsible positions,
but It never occurred to hln. to try to act
until Nat Goodwin found him. Gocdvn
saw that he had all of the earmarks of
an actor. He engaged the old gentleman
and put him on the stage without any
practice.
Though more than 70 yars of ;ige, Mr.
Silcox has the enthusiasm and spirit of
a boy Just out of school, and Is dying to
get a. part In which he can show Mr. Good
win and the rest of the company that no
is an actor of the higher class. Wh-n
he comes on the stage 'n the club scene,
chatting with a young woman, his step is
as sprightly as that of a Lieutenant in
the army, and the smiles that, wreathe
his face would put a. dyspemic in a good
humor.
"Oh, rm Just learning to act." ho t aid
yesterday. "In a few years I shall ba
alongside of the best onts, 1 nope. I
expect to live 33 years yet, and a man can
accomplish a great deal in that I-r.gth of
time. If he only goes about It right.
"Mr. Goodwin is so kind to me, and I m
sure he would not hesitate to put me in on
huavler parts when I have been longer on
the stage."
"How do I account for such goo J health
at my time In life? That is simple enough.
I take good care of myself, and I nt-TT
worry- If things go wrong I try to right
them. If I can't do It, then I let vheTgo;
but J do not fuss and fume about It, for I
found long ago that It would not hep mat
ters to do so, and would only hurt me-'
Mr, Silcox has had some wonier'al cr
pcriences in hi life. When he first ca'ire
to this country from England, he was en
gaged in managing a fashionable club in
New York. Out of this he made a grid
sum of money. Some of his 1 Hen Is gave
him a sure tip on a mining speculation.
He invested his $30,000 In it, and woke up
in a few mornings to nnd himself worth
Just $9, which he happened to have In hts
pocket for current expenses.- He then
turned Ms attention to the management
of theaters. After awhile his daughter
married 'a rich man, and she kindly rtirtd
her' father on a pension. This -va& too
dull for the' old gentleman, and he -soon
found himself back among the theaters,
an'dynow, 'at a. ripe old age; he is bistnnlrjg
his stage career.

IN GOOD SHAPE.
Cleric Moore Will Leave His Office in
Splendid Order.
The Judgment rolls in the State Circuit
Court of cases disposed of during tho past
year have nearly all been made up, and
Clerk D. 3. Moore will be able to turn
over the office to his successor, Major J.
P. Kennedy, with everything completed
to date. The greatest number of Judg
ment rolls is In Judge Cleland's court.
Department No. 3, where there are be
tween 600 and G00. In Departments Nos.
1 and 2. presided over by Judges Frazer
and Sears, respectively, there- are about
140 Judgment rolls each. The Judgment
rolls In the Criminal Court Judge George
have not yet been made up. There will
probably be about 200 of them.
In the past the business in this court
has been large, there being about 600
cases disposed of between July. 1SD8, and
July, 1SS9, but since the office of the Dis
trict Attorney has been put upon a sal
ary system the- number of cases has been
reduced to about one-third. There are
about as many trials as formerly, but not
so many dismissals. Under the old sys
tem, all manner of trivial cases, includ
ing Chinese lottery and gambling indict
ments, which it was never Intended to try.
were piled up simply for the fees which
could bo collected by the officer. There
Is no occasion to do such work now.
Mr. Moore has the records of all kinds
fully written up. and at no time in the
history of the "office -have all papers and
books been In -more complete order. In

PORTLAND WAS 'WARM.
Taendar the Mercury Reached 00
Ten Degrees Cooler "Yesterday.
Portland was tho hottest town in all of
the Pacific Northwest Tuesday, and yes
terday was a close second. On Tuesday
the mercury went up to 90. Thit is hot
weather for Portland, mough ther have
been hotter days In June than that. The
next warmest place In the Northwest
Tuesday, at which any record is kpt, was
Boise, Idaho. The highest point rels'ered
during the day was c3. Walla Walla,
showed a similar record that day, while
Seattle was two deyrees cooler.
Yesterday Portland's highest r:ord was
80. The great amount of humidity In the
air made it seem as "hot as the previous
day, but it wasn't. East of the moun
tains it was warnier yesterday. At Walla
Walla the mercury stood at 92 at one time
during1 the day. At Spokanb it registered
86.
A light thunderstorm was reportii from
Southern Idaho yesterday, and Forecast
Official Beals thinks the present hot wave
may break up in general showers, with
thunder storms here and there.
Mr. Beals says that so far this Juno has
gone on an average of tnree degrees ahead
of the average Juno weather. He dees
not look tor a xecord-breiklns Summer,
however.

LAND STREET FAIR.
3feTr Features Are HcIbr Devised
Every Day Many Interesting
Events.
Yesterday's meeting of the Portland
Street Fair and Carnival Committee was
the largest and -most Interesting that has
been held since the Elks suggested the
project, and the evidence produced at the
meeting of the generous way manj of the
representative men of the city are sup
porting the committee is an assurance
that the affair will be pushed to a suc
ceusful completion. The street fair will
be for the glorification of Portland, and
the exhibit of the industrial, manufactur
ing and mineral resources of the state.
While the carnival was suggestedby the
Elks, they have been taking the lead only
In interesting the business men in the
undertaking and awakening them' to a
realization of the Importance and .far
reaching" effect of such a magnificent ex
hibition, conducted on a scale equal to the
carnivals held in the large Eastern cities.
Visitors will he attracted from all over
the state and Coast, the two weeks the
fair is In progress will be a holiday time,
and the people will give themselves up to
enjoying the diverse and Interesting events
that will be arranged for their amusement
and edification.
Questions of fmanoe at present are re
ceiving the most consideration by the
carnival committee. All the railroads
leading into the city are vying with each
other in contributing to the fund, and
also in drawing up plans for the build
ings that will grace Sixth street during
-the weeks of the feetlval. Arches and
booths will be built, and Indications seem
to show that the entire spaco from Yam
hill to Amkeny streets will be taken up
with tho buildings and booths.
Various schemes for raslm? money will
bo put In effect In a shopt time. A novel
plan will be carried out within a week.

the rubber they can lay their hands on.
In this climate old rubber goods should
bo plentiful.
For the weeks in September, when the
fair Is in- progress, the government of
the city and of th merry carnival court
wiir devolve upon a king and a queen.
Within a week, all over the city, pictur
esque Chinese pagodas will be erected; In
which ballot-boxes and all the. para
phernalia of an election will be placed, and
votes received for the various candidates
for queen and any one with a nickel will
be able to Increase by one the chances
of election of any fair aspirant.
As the excitement Increases and- the
result grows doubtful, bulletin-boards will
be erected In the heart of the city and
the returns tabulated as in a regular elec
tion canvass.
At tho opening of the carnival, the king
and queen will approach the city by water
and at the' entrance to the Willamette will
be met by a large flotilla of steamers,
and the royal vessel and Its escort will
steam up the Willamette in regal style.
At the landing place the court will be met
and welcomed to the city by the Mayor
and the Governor, ant' the golden key to
tho city will be presented to the queen
as an especial token of esteem. All
through tho carnival the court etiquette ot
Queen Elizabeth will bo In vogue, and
there will be many a chance for some
gallant Raleigh to win 'court position or
place of favor by some opportune act.
In a few days the executive committee
will open offices as headquarters, and the
officers will have proper facilities for
handling all the business. Some are sur
prised that certain business men do not
seem to appreciate what such- a successful
carnival would mean for Portland, and Its
business men in attracting thousands of
visitors to the city, and advertising the
state and Its resources.

SELLING THE BUTTONS
VOLUNTEERS HEWIXG TO BUILD
MOXUMEXT.
Committee Hopes to Get Rid of Bar
rels of Them "Within the
Next Thirty Days.
Sixteen thousand volunteer souvenlr"but
tons have been put out by the committee
up to this time. That would mean, if the
returns were all In, $4000 to add to the
monument fund. The returns, are not all
in, however, and the comnvitee Is at work
to get reports from all those who have
been selling buttons. ho ."ar less than
$2000 has been turned !n, but the remain
der is looked for without delay.
The salds are bjg'nning to pick up in 'ha
smaller towns of the state. For a time
most of the buttons were dlHpo.sed of In
Portland, but now that those outside are
showing an interest, the movement is
spreading, and the committee expects to
have men at work in every town in the
state within a short time.
Recently three dozen buttons were ."ent
to B. K. Lawson, of Cottage Grove, He
had not asked for them, but Captain Da
vis, of the committee, remembered Law
son, as a rustling member of Company C,
and decided to send the buttons and ask
him to see if he could sail them. In a
day or two a letter was received by Cap
tain Davis, inclosing a check for the but
tons. Mr. Lawson expressed pleasure at
having the privilege of adding the amount
to the monument fund. He said that, in
company with another member of Com
pany C, he bad gone on the streets of
Cottage Grove with the buttons, and
within less time than an hour the souvenirs
had all been sold.
Miss Effle Shurte, of Arlington, took a
no.Uon recently to see If she could not
help In the building of tho monument to
the dead, heroes of Oregon. Up to tht
present time she has disposed of 10 dozen
buttons and two dozen bows, and has sent
in the money to pay for them.
George Hartman, ex-volunteer, of Pen
dleton, ,has also been doing some good
work with the buttons. In three days he
disposed of IS dozen, which Is perhaps
the greatest number sold by any one in so
short a time.
Fred Hancs, of Roseburg, has been dis
posing of lots of buttons, and Is still at It.
And all over the state tne returned volun-.
teers and their friends are showing inter
est In the matter.
The committee Is willing to send but
tons to any rellablo'peraon who will under
take to sell them.
The sales In the city are holding up re
markably well. The young woman who
acts as cashier at Marsch's barber shop
cigar stand has disposed of $60 worth since
the buttons were put on sale there, and
many others are doing as well. A move
ment is now on- foot to have everybody in
the Fourth of July parade wear a souvenir
button. In addition, an effort will be
made to get rid of thousands of buttons
on the Fourth. If 100 ex-volunteers will
undertake to dispose of 100 buttons each
during the Fourth of July week, they can
add $2500 to the monument fund and not
work very hard In doing it. The commit
tee will be glad to assist them in any way
it can, and there is no reason why they
should not dispose of the 10,000 buttons in
a single day, if they will go about it in
the proper way.
OBJECTS TO BICYCLE TAX.
Correspondent Says the Law Is Un
just. PORTLAND, June 10. (To the Editor.?
Tho attempted enforcement of the tag
tax appears an unjust act, even though
it be a law. If we consider first the paths
already constructed, how many of them
are completed? It Is true they are hard
and firm, but many a mile has no topping
at all. and others seemingly have been
graded after the ground has become too
dry. or have been used while soft, so
that now they are quite lumpy and are
in anything but condition to make a ride
enjoyable. For the sake of argument,
however, we will admit' the paths are all
right, and that full returns have been
received for all the moneys expended.
But what percentage of the number of
miles ridden dally or weekly Is ridden on
paths? Or, what percentage of ounvheela
are ridden on paths? Frpm my own ob
servations, I should judge it to be very
small. .If this is the case, would it not
be well toprovlde for our wheelmen and
wheelwom'en within the city first; then
consider the building of additional paths
outside?
A few days ago the statement ap
peared: "Now that the streets are dry.
etc., wheelmen need not use the side
walks." A careful consideration of this
assertion will show how absurd and un
reasonable It Is (although the ordinance
requires us to observe it). Consider the
various thoroughfares in general use by
wheelmen. How many are safe? Front
street Is out of the question. First street
Is all right, on either side of the tracks,
but in meeting a team on the wrong side
(which is not Infrequent), you are ex
pected to pull over, jeopardizing your
rims going over the high rails, and prob
ably your ribs, in your flight over the
handle-bars. Second street is impassable
.anywhere. Third street Is almost as bad

As suggested before, why not provide

of the funds remaining from last year's
tar. and that of this year that has not
been contracted for?
Some of our Eastern cities were In the
same condition that Portland Is, namely,
streets too narrow to admit of a path
on either or both sides. To obviate the
matter, wheelmen are allowed the use of
one pavement on every street, outside the
business district, either the north and
