ENDED WITH LOVE FEAST
RETIRING 3IAYOR AJTD COUNCIL' IN
HAPPY MOOD.

'Meet the Approval of His Succes
sor Compromise" Rejected.
The last regular meeting of the present
Common Council yesterday developed Into
a love feast, before it was through, good
fooling and good fellowship reigned su
preme, and an amount of. taffy-throwing
was indulged In heretofore unknown, on
such occasions, and which, might be
looked upon as the dawning of a new era.
The wild and woolly West is. a thing of
the past, and. a higher civilization and
an advanced stage of politeness in munici
pal affairs has dawned.
All the members of the Council were
present, and each had his successor seat
ed beside him when Mayor Storey and
Mayor-elect Rowe took their seats at the
presiding officer's desk.
After the meeting had come to order
and the roll called. Mayor Storey pro
ceeded to thank the Council forlhe uni
form, courtesy he had received at their
hands, and to compliment them on the
faithfulness and efficiency with which
they had discharged their duties. He
also suggested to the new Mayor and
Council the advisability of placing In
spectors at all rock quarries from which
material is taken for macadamizing
streets, in order to prevent bad rock from
being placed on the streets, which it
would be almost impossible to have taken
off. He also recommended that the city
secure a membership in the League of
American Municipalities. In closing he
expressed the hope that the Board of
Public Works would never again allow
paved streets to be cut open in the middle
to lay wires or pipes.
Mayor-elect. Rowe, on behalf of himself
and the Councllmen-elect returned thanks
to the Mayor and Council for the courtesy
extended in inviting them to be present
si the meeting, and said he agreed with
Mayor Storey in regard to inspection of
rock in the quarries, which he considered
an Important matter.
Invitation Accepted.
H, C. Campbell, superintendent of the
City & Suburban Railway Company, ex
tended on Invitation to the "both Mayors
and Councils." and the city officials to
Join in an excursion over the company's
lines at 3 P. M. Friday, to test some
new cars manufactured in the company's
shops, of which they felt proud.
Martin moved that the Invitation' be ac
cepted, and the Councllmen-elect were
invited to cast their first vote on this
proposition; which -was carried unani
mously. It may be stated hero that before the
meeting adjourned the Council, by a ris
ing vote, extended their thanks to the
Mayor for his uniform courtesy to them
and a similar vote -was extended to the
city officials, and their assistants, one
and alL
City Physician Praised.
City Physician Wheeler presented a
communication, thanking the cits officials
for their courtesy and their aid m en
abling him so. successfully to deal with
smallpox and other contagious diseases,
and their promptness and liberality In
providing a hospital, etc, and Baker made
some very eulogistic remarks In regard to
the energy and efficiency of Dr. Wheeler
in looking after the city's interests, and
moved a vote of thanks to Dr. Wheleer,
which carried unanimously.
Rejected a "Compromise."
A considerable portion of the time of
the meeting was taken up in adopting
reports rfrom various conrmittoes. placing
on file an dotherwlse finally dsposlng of
a large number of papers concerning all
sorts of dead issues, which had accumulat
ed during' the past two yeans. The- titles
of some of these called up a smile on the
faces of the Councltenen, and awoke mem
cries of 6truggks between the solid five
and the solid six in days gone by, but
all were finally disposed of, so that they
will never bother the incoming adminis
tration. One of tho most Important things
brought up during the meeting was the
matter of a proposal from QL M. Bloch
for settling certain claims for salaries
of officers and members of the Paid Fire
Department, assigned to hhn.
This matter has been before the Coun-
cjl for a lone time, and is probably well
understood by the public. Several years
ago the salaries of a number of the of
ficers and men of the Fire Department
were reduced, they agreeing to the re
duction. After a time suit was brought
t6 recover the amount by which their
salaries had been reduced, on tho ground
that they accepted the reduction under
coercion or something of that sort. The
suit went to the Supreme Court, and the
firemen foiled to secure a decision :n their
favor.
Their claims, amounting' to some $60,000
or more, wore bought up at a heavy dis
count by M. M. Bloch. who. It is said, paid
some ?CO0O or thereabouts for all, or most
of them. He Is now endeavoring to effect
a compromise settlement with the city,
offering to accept half the 'amount of the
claims, or thereabouts, which would af
iford him a good profit on the transaction.
The Judiciary committee, to whom
Bloch's communication had been referred,
submitted a report, recommending that
the City Attorney be authorised to enter
into negotiations with Mr. Bloch and as
certain what concession in the nature of
e. compromise could be secured in the mat
ter of the firemen's back salary case,
provided that. In his .Judgment, "there are
o reasonable or legal grounds for a de

fense against a recovery by said claim
ant against the city. This report was
adopted.
Later on an effort was made to take
the matter out of, the hands of the City
Attorney, 'and refer It to the Mayor,
Council and City Attorney for settlement,
and It looked for a tltne as if an effort
was to be made to railroad the matter
through.
Luckel objected, and said the matter
ought to be left over for the new Council
to investigate thoroughly.
Martin was of opinion that any action
on the part of the Council toward paylng
the claims could not fall to provoke un
favorable comment.
Mayor Storey suggested, that, as tho
Council bad made a clean, record so far.
It might be well to go Into consultation
with the new Council in regard to a set
tlement of the claims, which Idea was
approved by Baker.
Jameson said the matter had been pend
ing for several years and It would not be
advisable for the Council to attempt to
rush it through at this late "hour. In
the end the Council refused to take the
matter up again, and it will go over to
the new Council.

GOOD TIME TO INSPECT.
Probable Bidders on. Caatom-Honne
Flniahlnar Can. Examine Xovr.
Portland's new Custom-Houso Is now
practically complete, so far as the Bent
ley Construction Company's contract is
concerned, and as soon as this work has
been accepted by the Government, bids
will be asked for the Interior finish,
which will Include the oak and marble
work, steam fitting, electric wiring, dy
namos, exhaust fans for ventilation, two
paesenger elevators and two freight ele
vaiorft The sum of $300,000 will, it Is es
timated, be expended on these appoint
ments. Officials who are informed on matters
pertaining to the construction of the
building, think now Is the time for local
men to investigate the ""interior of the
structure, with a view to putting in bids
when the time comes. "When bids were
invited for material with which to con
struct the walls, local men d'd not seem
desirous of competing," one of these men
said yesterday, "as they feared the whole
business would be given to Eastern men,
anyway. The sequel ,, shows that they
were laboring under a misapprehension,
as all the material, except the structural
Iron and steel, has been obtained on
the Pacific Coast. The granite has all
been goiter? out on Snake River; the
common "brick, of which there were
3,000.000. came from yards In the suburbs
of Portland: the pressed brick was ob
tained at Newberg, Yamhill County,
though previously all preesed brick used
in Portland had come from abroad. Now
Oregon has a pressed-brlck factory, which
exports considerable, in addition to sup
plying the Portland market. The terra
cotta used came from San Francisco, as
also the slate for the roof. Local men
should not be backward In competing for
the remainder of the work."

NEW ROOMS ARE SECURED
STREET FAIR. HEADQUARTERS AT
SEVENTH AD WASHINGTON.
Fine, Central Location la Imperial
Hotel Building Meeting of Pro
moters Tonight.
Discovering yesterday that they would
be able to secure fine quarters In the Im
perial Hotel building, through the cour
tesy of Hon. Phil Metschan, the mana
gers of the Portland Street Fair and
Carnival decided to abandon the store
room on the corner of Seventh and- Mor
rison streets, where they had temporarily
located, and will henceforth be found in
the store, corner Seventh and Washing
ton, the most central and favorable loca
tion that cbuld be 'found.
An Important meeting of the Elks will
be held tonight to discuss plans for the
big fair. It Is the present plan to send
the best man they can find East to secure
first-class attraction?, and the man who
is selected will probably leave Immedi
ately, and remain for three weeks, visit
ing the street fair in St Paul, and all the
large cities, and sparing no expenpe to
secure the very best attractions that can
be found.
The committees which are soliciting sub
scriptions report that all the public-spirited
and enterprising men In Portland are
fully awake to the value of a great street
fair, and are making generous subscrip
tions. There Is still a great deal of money
to be raised, however, and nothing but
unflagging Industry on the part of the
promoters of the fair and prompt and
liberal responsw from all the business
men of the city, will make it possible to
carry out the scheme on the elaborate
lines which have been planned.
Suggestions for new features have been
coming ln every day, and letters from
many Eastern cities show that Portland's
enterprise in undertaking ajch a carnhnl
is already recognized and appreciated in
the East.
At the meeting of the Elks tonight all
ordinary business will be laid aside, and
the entire session will be devoted to dis
cussing ways and means to make the fair
the greatest event Portland has ever seen.
The help that has been offered from
prominent men who are eager to do what
they can toward making the fair a go
.shows that the event will be one which Is
of benefit to every one In Portland, and
on which no one can afford to throw
cold water.
LAST SYMPHONY CONCERT.
Programme of TJnnsnal Excellence
Prepared for ,Tals Evening.
An orchestral concert of unusual In
terest Is to be given at the Marquam tht
evening. It 's the last of the series of
Symphony Concerts, which have been an
artistic and social success, but the gen
eral publlo eeems still to be unaware of
the mus'cnl treat that Is obtainable at a
very moderate price.
The evening's programme has been pre
pared with a special view to a popular
entertainment, without any deteriorafou
whatever ln the character of the music
to be presented.
In deference to the criticisms of some
of the strlcUy correct musical eet, to
the effect that the symphony should be
at the beginning Instead of the end of
the programme, to the criticisms of some
other equally correct musical persons that
It should be at the end Instead ofat the
beginning, and out of regard to the com
plaints of the unmusical Fhllietlnes or
there being any Symphony at all, the
committee has arranged to give only one
symphonic movement (out of four), and
will give that ln the exact middle of
the programme.
But what a number that Is! The alle
gretto movement of Beethoven's "Sev
enth." the sparklmsr gem of the blaz
ing coronet of the "Immortal "Sine." The
programme contains the weird, thrilling
and tender "Mhrche Funebre." of Chcpln.
some of the exquisite ballet music of
De Libes and the stately "Minuet" of Mo
zart. This last occupies less than three
minutes ln Its recital, so that no one
need bo afraid that the concert will be
wearisome by reason of Its length, or anj-.

ENDANGERED BY ICE.
Portland Man Tells of tlie Vayoge of
" the Steamer .Senator.
L B. "Hammond, a well-known citizen
of Portland, who left for Nome on the
Bteaener Senator, which sailed from the
Sound a,- week before the Elder, has
written a letter to his friend, H. E. Cow
gill, of this city, which wes mailed at
Dutch Harbor, June 7. Mr. Hammond
admits that the Elder would reach Nome
aheed of him, after all. He tells of the"
Senator beings In the ice for four days,
making 10 to 120 miles ln 24 hours. The
veeseel, while he was writing, was head
ed back for Dutch Harbor for coal, and
there was a report among: the passengers
that one of her bow plates was cracked
from contact with the ice, causing a se
rious leak. The Senator had reached a
point 163 miles from. Cape Nome, and the
fact that she hod to put back to Dutch
Harbor, a distance of 550 miles, was
making those on board suspicious of se
rious damaige. Mr. Hammond fully ex
pected to be on board for 10 or 12 days
yet.
A few extracts from his diary will serve
to show how progress was being made
tho early part of this month:
"June 2. Made 10 miles, tied to an Ice
floe. The revenue cutter Bear passed us
about 10:30 last night, and this morning
we overtook her, breaking Ice to free the
steamer Dora, which had been caught.
After about two hours buckle,' the Dora
was set free and the Bear started north,
breaking the Ice. Captain Patterson
thought the risk too great to follow the
Bear, so v,e are now waiting for a break
to allov us to proceed. The Ice is qu.te
rotten In many places, but is very thick
and heavy where Jams have occurred.
"The three-rousted schooner Catherine
Sudden struck an Iceberg this morning
and stove a hole In her bow. Another
vessel lying close by went to her assist
ance. There are 12 sels ln sight, and
we expect more within a few days.
June 4. We have laid all night ln hopes
that the Ice would open up and lot v
follow the Bear, but this morning finds its
being closed In onr all sides, and our cap
tain thinks of turning southward. A
heavy fog envelops us, and the squeez
ing of the Ice Is trying the vessel se
verely. The barkentlne Sudden has been
completely wrecked not a great distance
from us.
"June 5. Tho Ice has opened a little,
and we are trying1 to push through it.
Last evening, es the sun went down, the
fog cleared, and the slgbt was beautiful,
A lot of large walruses lay on the Ice
about three-quarters of a mile away, and
their long tusks could be seen plainly.
They looked, through our glasses, as
though they might weigh 2(00 to 30CO
pounds each. I felt like taking a rifle and
going after them, but the fissures In the
Ice were too numerous for safety.
"June k-e are one more under
steam and hitting- the Ice very hard, and
I feel somewhat nervous, for If we should
stave a hole ln our ship It would be a
serious matter, resulting, perhaps, in
heavy loss of life. There would be no
.chance to .use our boatu, as they, too,
would go to pieces on the Ice. There ap
pears to be open water ahead, however.
3 P. M. We are once more ln open wa
ter and there are six vessels In sight. We
recognize the Garonne. South Portland
and Alliance among them."

FAVOR POOLING PRUNES.
All Growers So Far Heard From
Have Voted Yes.
The Cured Fruit Association recently
sent out the following letter, and up to
date all answers received have been ln
favor of pooling the crop:
Portland. Or., June 12. 1W0 Dear Sir: Wo
beg to Inform you that the Cured Fruit Asso
ciation of the Pacific Northwest ho3 perfected
a perraamont organization at the annual meet
ing of the stockholders. June 0, having secured
75-per cent of tho prune crop aallable. but
not 7C per cent of tbe acrtago. under which
conditions jou signed tlie agreement.
Owing to the failure of the Italian prune ln
some districts. It Is Impossible to secure 75 per
cent of the acreage, but, as it Is the actual
fruit to be pooled and not tbe acreage, the
stockholders present concluded to organize, and
therefore ask your consent to waive the condi
tions of article 8 of the agreement, and remain
with the association under the proposed 75 per
cent of tbe actual prune crop. From present
Indications we will control 00 per cent.
We ask you to consider this matter care
fully, and not act hastily, and after reaching
o. conclusion kindly write on the bottqm of this
letter, over your signature, "Tes" or "No,"
as you may elect, and return it to our secre
tary. Hoping you may see your way clear to sign
"Tos," we remain, yours respectfully,

C E. STEWART, Medford;
S. P. KIMBALL, Salem;

HENRY E. DOSCH, Secretary.
Secretary Dosch is confident that the
other answers will be of a similar tone,
and that the 1S00 prune crop will be pooled.
Grand Avenue Xeeiln Repairs.
The business men along Grand avenue
are complaining over the condition of the
roadway on that street, and will shortly
take some measures looking to its repair.
For over a year Grand avenue ha3 been
ln bad shape from East Burnslde to East
Clay streets. Some places are worse than
others, but, taken as a whole, the timbers
are about worn out. The street might be
repaired in spots, but that would be un
satisfactory. Grand avenue was Improved
about six years ago with Umbers 6x6, and
when flrst put down it was thought It
would last 10 years. but this has not been

realized. Enough material was used to
last that long, but there has been dry rot
on the lower side of the timbers, besides
the heavy wear on the surface. The im
provement was made as nn experiment,
and it has not been the success hoped for.
Eas.. BunuMae street was also improved
ln the same way, and from the Burnslde
bridge to East Tenth the roadway is about
as badly worn as that on Grand avenue.
The Grand-avenue business men are In.
a quandary as to what courts to take.
There are no property-pw ners doing busi
ness on the avenue, but with them rests
the whole matter. If they will not take
steps to repair or relmprove, nothing can
be done in that direction. However, the
former will make a vigorous effort to get
something done with the avenue. The
planking between the double car tracks
Is ground Into splinters, so that delivery
wagons cannot cross from one side to
the other with safety. The business men
will come together in a few days and
form a plan of action. Frank Holbrook,
the Councilman-elect from the Ninth
"Ward, has promised to help them all In
his power.
"Will Figures Me?
PORTLAND. June 20. (To the Editor.)
Sometimes they will, if facts are con
cealed. About four weeks ago the Rev. Dr.
Blackburn, of this city, ln a sermon on
1 the growth of the churcnes. published In
your paper,' gave the membership of the
Baptist Church at about 5,000,000, falling
to state that this Included all Baptist
bodies, 13 ln number. Ho then took one
body of the Methodists, namely the Methodist-Episcopal,
by way of comparison.
Perhaps the reverend gentleman did thl3
unconsciously, but in his so doing, figures
lied.
Let the doctor take all Baptist bodies
there are 4,443,623. and all Methodist bodies,
5,509,316 and he will agree with us in re
liable statistics.
