THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, HONDA, JULY 2, 1900.
REPAIR OF GRAND AVENUE
QUESTION THAT PROPERTY OWN
ERS MUST DECIDE.
Differences of Opinion Exlit-Xcvrs
of a Day On the East
Side.
It is now "up to" the property owners
along Grand avenue. They will be called
on during the present week to say what
they will do with reference to the re
pairing or improvement of that street.
The committee, composed of both busi
ness men and property owners, was ap
pointed at a meeting held last week to
interview all those owning property on
Grand avenue on the subject. Already
some friction has appeared, althougn
why there snould be any is not apparent,
as the interests of both are identical.
Some of the property owners say that
they were not Invited to attend the meet
log last week at Justice Vreeland's ofllce,
and that the business men were not go
ing to dictate what they shbuld do. It
should be stated in this connection that
this claim is without foundation, as the'
call for the meeting was as much open
to the property owners as to the business
men, and they received the same invita
tion. The meeting was simply a confer
ence. It did Its work and no more. The
business men want to find out what is
going to be done with the street. A few
property owners admit that Grand ave
nue is generally in bad condition, al
though in spots there are sound planks.
Grand avenue has been Improved quite
often. It was Improved twice before con
solidation with gravel and then It was
widened to 80 feet, all of which was a
heavy tax on property, but all this made
the street. It effectually killed Union ave
nue, and transferred the bu in ss to I ran 1
avenue, as every one knows. Business
men say that it is only a matter of a
short time when they will be driven out
of business unless Grand avenue is re
paired. They allege that fnrmers from
the eastward, who had been In the habit
of trading with them, are leaving there
thero and say the street Is dangerous to
drive over. That is the situation" that
confronts both business men and prop
erty owners, which seems to make the
interests of both identical. Neither wants
to impose on the other. At the best the
Improvement, or repair, of Grand avenue
will be difficult, owing to the number of
vacant lots along the street and also
Irom the fact that so many property
owners are absent. There seems but one
of two things to do to repair the present
Improvement, or Improve again with 4x8
plank. If repairs are made there are
several blocks which will have to be re
newed entirely. Those are between East
Stark and East Morrison streets. The
plank is practically gone between these
two streets. In other portions repairs
might be made. The total expense of
repairs might require about $23 per lot
Some would cost more and others less.
To make a new improvoment with 4-lncn
plank will cost about $50 per lot, and it
would last about four years, whereas It
is estimated that If repaired the present
improvement might last something over
one year. Some of the property owners
say Ihey want to wait till the Legislature
changes the charter so that streets and
roadways will be kept up by general tax
ation, or by districts. There Is a suit
also before the Supreme Court at present
involving all the old improvements on the
East Side done under the old charter of
East Portland. That charter provided
that when a street was once improved the
city should take charge of and keep up
the street at the expense of the city's
general fund. It would mattter little how
the decision goes, as there is no money
in the general fund for repair of streets.
City Engineer Chase made that clear
enough at the business men's meeting,
when he said there Is no hope whatever
of help from that source. So to wait for
the decision will not afford much relief.
To wait for a change In the charter
bo that the city maintain all streets,
after once Improved, means an indefinite
time. So it would seem that something
will have to be done at once, or there
will be postponement of all action for
an indefinite period, with all the results,
good or bad. This is the problem that
both business men and property owners
on Grand avenue must face.
"Woodstock Road District.
In the "Woodstock district much work
has been done in the matter of road
work, and more is projected In Juture.
Eastward from the Woodstock Railway,
on an extension of the Kelly road, the
county has been clearing the road of
stumps and undergrowth and widening
the roadway through to the Mllwaukle
road. The clearing is heavy work and it
will take some time to finish up, but It
is an important thoroughfare and will
accommodate a -wide and well-settled
section of the country. Also southward
from this point the county has been grav
eling the road to the Evangelical Church.
This part of the thoroughfare between
Woodstock and the Powell road Is the
part that is permanently located and
hence the county is justified in making
permanent Improvements. Later the road
will be Improved northward through to
the Section road, when the route has
been permanently settled. This system
of roads, advocated and pushed by the
"Woodstock Improvement Association, will
greatly benefit that entire section, and
shows what may be brought about when
the people unite and come together on
a proposition. The association will kepp
pushing until the fine system of roads
advocated is an accomplished fact.
Enst Side Notes.
Dr. J. J. Walker, Methodist missionary
In Alaska, expects to start for his field
somo time this week.
At Minelg's grove, on the Sandy River,
there will be a celebration this year.
Miss Gibbons will read the Declaration
of Independence and G. E. Hawes, of
Oregon City, will deliver the oration. E.
F. Brans will be president of the day;
E. F. Andrews, grand marshal; R. J.
Thorp, deputy.
The funeral of Henry M. Thomas, the
Southern Pacific car inspector, who was
killed Saturday In the Southern Pacific
switching yard, will take place this af
ternoon, at 2 o'clock, from his late home
on Holladay avenue. Washington Lodge
Jo. 46. A. F. and A. M., of which he was
a member, will have charge.
The short roadway on East Tenth
street now under improvement, is nearly
completed. That on either side of East
Stark street is finished, and that connect
ing" with Belmont street has been started
It will be built this week. Nearly the
entire portion under Improvement Is
graded and nearly all graveled.
Within a week the North Mount Tabor
Railway will be completed from North
Montavllla to the Base Line road. The
grading was nearly finished last week
and part of the iron laid. Residents on
the Base Line road are delighted over
the near prospects of having a railway
at their doors. xo that they can come to
Portland without climbing Mount Tabor.

They "Wasted Their Sympathy.
Chicago Tribune.
He was a venerable and seemed to be a
reeble old man. His long beard was snow
white, his shoulders were stooped, and he
leaned heavily on a gold-headed cane. The
owl car north was crowded, many women
being In the party. They were all inter
ested in the venerable stranger.
-I shouldn't wonder." said one of the
women to her husband, "If he was one of
the professors at Noihwestem.,
"Hp looks to me," said another, "more
like & foreign missionary. Perhaps he's
one of the delegate to the ecumenical
conference in New York,"
Then the old gentleman began to talk to
the man on his right Gradually he
seemed to warm up to his subject His
shoulders straightened, and he made
sweeping gestures with his cane.
"If we could only hear what he is say
ing," sighed one of the young women.
But the noise made by the car was too
piercing to permit anything to be dis
tinguished, though the old man was now
apparently talking In a loud tone of voice.
For some time the attention of everybody
In the car was concentrated upon him.
Finally, just as he seemed to be reaching
the climax of his story the car came to a
sudden stop. The noise ceared with the
stopping of the car, and then the clarion
voice of the white-haired enthusiast
sounded shrilly so all could hear:
"And then Terry landed him an upper
cut' on the kisser, like that"
The car started up again quickly, and
the women In the party are still unde
cided whether the old man was a profes
sor or a missionary.
GARONNE IS ALL RIGHT.
She Probably Reached Nome City
Yesterday.
The steamer Garonne, which for a time
it was feared was lost in the Arctic
Ocean, has turned up all right at Dutch
Harbor, after having been squeezed In the
ice for several days. A ltter was re
ceived yesterday by D. E. Budd, of Port
land, from his son-in-law. D. E. Mulligan,
a passenger on the Garonne, dated Dutch
Harbor. June 15. Mr. Mulligan stated
that the vossel was all right and that
all on board were well. The Garonne
had started In to take on coal at Dutch
Harbor, and the captain confidently ex
pected to reach Nome by July 1.
Dutch Harbor, he wrote, was filling up
with business people, who expected to
do well by the trade of the many vessels
calling at that point Alraady competi
tion was cheapening the necessaries of
life. A meal of ham and eggs could be
procured for half a dollar; a shave for
the same price, which was also the value
of a bath three things a passenger on a
steamer thinks he needs most when ar
riving on the solid land. He thought
Dutch Harbor was. therefore, the last
cheap place he would strike, and he said
the passengers had all determined to "All
up and brush up" once more before reach
ing the land of bad accommodations and
extortionate charges. Mr. Mulligan's
wife, who Is now in Seattle, has been al
most distracted over the supposed sad
fate of her husband, and the Joyful tid
ings were communicated to her from
Portland yesterday.

THE TRIALS AND THE CRIME.
Five Were Released to Serve as
Stnte's Witnesses.
SKAGWAY. June 26. The trial of the
Indians charged wltlj the murder of Bert
and Florence Horton, of Eugene, Or.. 25
miles from here, last Fall, ended today.
All will be sentenced tomorrow.
The trial was brought to a termination
by the Ave last to be tried pleading guilty
to murder in the second degree, which
was done as a compromise measure. The
result Is considered somewhat of a vic
tor' for the defense.
Those yesterday pleading guilty to mur
der In the second degree were: Kichltoo,
who. It had been alleged by the confessor
in the case, killed Mrs. Horton; Juck
Lane. Mark Clanet and Day Kanteen.
Kichltoo was on trial at the time the
compromise was effected.
Five of the Indians in the original party
go free, they having been given their
liberty several days ago, that they might
be used as witnesses. They are Paddy
Unnhoots, George White, Dave Clanet
Quanalsh. Johnny Kesh and Martha Han
son, a woman who was close to the men
of the party, and against whom there was
an Indictment
Jim Hanson, who confessed to having
murdered Mr. Horton, was found guilty
several days ago of murder In the first
degree, and Jim Williams, who confessed
to having cut Mrs. Horton's throat was
found guilty of murder in the second de
gree. The murder was committed last Octo
ber, when Mr. and Mrs. Horton were out
camping on Lynn Canal. A brother of
Hanson, together with his wife, were lost
and the Indians, It is stated, thought
Horton killed them, and in their doctrine
of a life for a life murdered Horton and
his wife, there being two taken to atono
for two. The President alone can com
mute the sentences that are to be passed.
NOME PRICES NOT SO HIGH.
Vancouver Man Who Toole Goods Up
to Sell Made Little Money.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. July 1. L. D.
Seal, a merchant of this city, returned
from Cape Nome on the steamer Elder.
after putting in Just one week on the
beach, in which time he disposed of about
ioO dozen of Clark County eggs and a lot
of rubber goods. He says he found nrlces
of such articles so much lower than he
had expected that when he came to bal
ance accounts, after paying freight and
other expenses of the trip, he returned
with very little more than his original
capital.
According to Seal's statements, the
uovernment Is meeting with considerable
trouble and delay In supplying the pro
posed army post at Nome. One of tho
vessels which left Seattle over a month
ago, having on board Colonel Randall and
his staff and headquarters, Seal says,
was reported to be aground in the mud
at the mouth of the Yukon. Another ves-
ecl had discharged its men and freight
on the beach at Nome, three miles from
the military reservation. A number ot
army mules, which were shipped on the
steamer, were corraled on the beach, and
were perfectly useless so far as handling
freight and supplies was concerned, be
cause the army wagons were aboard the
stranded boat In the emergency the sup
plies were being transported by hand by
the men. Among the men thus engaged
are a numoer irom this place.

IOWA MAY GO TO CniNA.
This Battleship May Take the Place
ot the Oregon.
TACOMA, Wash.. July L The accident
to the battle-ship Oregon in Chinese
waters Is the principal theme cf conver
sation on the battle-ship Iowa, and much
speculation Is being Indulged in by the
officers of that ship as to what its ef
fect will be so far as the orders of the
Iowa are concerned. The officers of the
Iowa say they would not be surprised at
any moment to receive orders to sail for
China, and, while they continue to make
preparations to decorate, the ship for the
celebration of the Fourth, many of them
think the chances are good for them to
be on their way to China by that time
In case the Oregon Is disabled. While
no orders have been received from Wash
ington, yet shore leave is being refused
the men.
Another Strike lm Bohemia.
JUNCTION CITY, Or., July 1. Dr. W.
W. Oglesby has Just returned from the
Bohemia mines, where he has been sur
veying at the Golden Slipper mine. Ho
reports a very rich strike In the Dewey
vein that bids fair to take the lead of
anything yet discovered in that district,
not excepting the Helena. He brought
some samples of rich ore that shows free
gold In large quantities. '
A Suicide at Nome.
SEATTLE, July L The steamer Aber

Montana family. He shot himself with a
revolver because of a quarrel with a
woman with whom he lived. During tho
quarrel he threatened to takt the wonv

UNION COUNTY QUARTZ MINES
Colonel Drake Tells ot Properties
Being: Worked.
Colonel F. V. Drake has returned from
a few weeks' trip among the quartz
mines of Eastern Oregon, where he has
an Interest in several ledges undergoing
development At tho Imperial yesterday
he said:
"The Held of operation under my per
sonal charge Is at Sparta, Union Coun
ty; but I recently made a flying trip to
the towns of Sumpter, Granite, Lawton
and Alamo. All are situated in pleas
ant localities, with good drainage facil
ities and abundance of fine water sup
plied from mountain lakes and springs.
Heavy traffic over the roads, chlclly
mountain grades, has made travel un
comfortable and in places dangerous for
inexperienced drivers. Gangs of men are
at work Improving the highways and will
soon give easy access to a country full
of scenic charms, valuable mines and
vast stretches of first-grade timber. The
towns seem quiet, the miners, timber
rangers, prospectors and stockmen being
In the mountains round about
"I visited several mines. Among them
the Cougar Is a fair type of recently de
veloped property. It is situated near the
towns of Granite and Lawton, about
equidistant by wagon road from each.
Mr. Sommerville, of Lawton. procured a
team at the stables there, and with others
accompanied me to the Cougar. This
seems to be a mineralized formation, or
hllL nearly all of which, so far as de
veloped, carries values. The workings
are through a tunnel, with some cross
cutting. Very little stoping has been
necessary, as all the workings are In
ore. Practically there is no waste ma
terial It Is what the average, unscien
tific miner would call a "blow-out The
excavations for the mill was made In
the ore body, and the whole mill struc
ture stands on pay rock. J. W. Lakln.
one of the owners, took me through the
mine; caused the mill, which had been
shut down preparatory to a clean-up, to
be started, and explained the methods
adopted for extracting the gold from the
ore.
"It Is a cyanide plant The cars come
out of the tunnel and are run to the
upper portion of the mill, which is set
on a. level with and near the tunnel
mouth. The ore is dumped over grizzlies,
the coarse- material falling Into a rock
breaker, thence all goes by gravity
through a set of Cornish rolls; thence
down through a second set of rolls to
bins; thence into the tanks, where the
cyanide solutions' are 'introduced. The
precious metal having been dissolved, the
now gold-lnden solution is drawn oft
through troughs, or boxes, containing
zinc shavings, which precipitate the gold
Into the form of a black powder, while
the now barren rock material goes down
again and out into the canyon below.
After the ore cars dump their contents
on the grizzly, gravity, machinery and
chemical action docs the rest
"At Sparta. Union County, I spent a
half day In the old Gem mine, and was
agreeably surprised at the extent of de
velopment made and ore bodies exposed.
Mr. Perkins, the manager, is arranging
for the immediate erection of a 10-Btamp
mill. Sparta is in what Is known as
the 'free-gold belt The ores are not
'refractory-'
"On the Mazama Company's claims,
near Sparta, five parallel ledges and one
cross vein have been exposed. All carry
gold, free and In Iron sulphates. One. the
Sliver Queen, returns to the assayer over
$30 per ton on a general sample from
the whole; the Uncle Sam, 520 to $30.
Selected samples of each disclosed gold
to the eye, and. of course, run very high.
It Is the general returns from the whole
mass that determines the value of ore
bodies. The other veins belonging to this
company, as far as tested, run from J5
to til 50, on general sampling.
"On the whole, there has not yet been
a failure of good results where intelli

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
Imports and Exports of Manufac
tures In May.
WASHINGTON. July L Forty million
dollars' worth of manufactures were ex
ported from the United States in the
month of May, 1S00, and $25,000,000 worth
of manufacturers' materials were Import
ed Into the United States. This is a high
er record, both in exportation of manu
factures and importations of manufac
turers' materials, than was ever made in
any preceding month in the history of
our foreign commerce and manufactures.
This assures a total exportation of manu
factures in the fiscal year 1900 of fully
$425,000,000, and an importation of manu
facturers' materials of $200,000,000. which
will make the record in both exports of
manufactures and imports of manufac
turers' materials much higher than that
of any preceding year. On jonly four oc
casions has the Importation of manufac
turers' materials reached the $200,000,000
line, while in the year Just ended it will
be, as already Indicated, about $300,000,000.
an Increase of 50 per cent over the aver
age of the past five years. Exports of
manufactures In 1S99 were $333,000,000, and
will be fully $425,000,000 In 1S90. an Increase
of nearly or quite $30,000,000; while no ear
lier year ever showed an increase of as
much as $50,000,000.
The total importations of manufactures
for the year will aggregate about $325,000.
000. and, as already indicated, the total
exports of manufactures will aggregate
about 5425,000,000. Prior to 1S93, imports of
manufactures always exceeded exports of
manufactures. In 18SS imports of manu
factures were 2& times the amount of ex
ports of manufactures; in 1S93 they were
still more than double the amount of the
exports: in 1SS6 they were nearly 50 per
cent greater than the exports, and In 1S98,
for the first time, the exports of manu
factures were greater than the imports
of manufactures, the figures for that year
being, respectively: Imports of manufac
tures, $226,000,000; exports of manufactures,
$290,000,000. Since that time, exports of
manufactures have steadily Increased,
and, as above indicated, will exceed the
Imports of manufactures by about $100,
000.000. The following table shows the Imports
of manufacturers' materials and exports
