Follow. in spite of the reports that the enforcement f the city ordinances relating to bicy clists ridlns on the sidewalks and falling to carry headlights was gradually being relaxed, due to the failure of many ot ienders to be convicted in the Municipal Curt, arrests continue, and the police department is determined to root out the evil. "With all the publicity that has "been given to the subject, the police of ficers assert that there is no possible excuse for offenders to urge Ignorance of the law or Inability to pay the m'nlmn"1 ne of ?3. Yesterday Harry Peters and Albert Ahrenedt were arrested by Pa trolmen Barker and Pangburn for riding on the sidewalk. "Whether arrests are followed by conviction or not. the of fenders will be subject to the inconven Sence of arrest and trial in the Municipal Court. Hickokt Splints for Broohs. Super intendent Hart, of the street cleaning and sprinkling department, is now giving hickory splints a trial as material for filling street-sweeping machines. The cpllnts come in two-foot lengths, are about a quarter of an inch in width and a. sixteenth of an inch in thickness. They are bent double before fixing them In the broom drums, and prove very satis factory. A revolving broom after being f.lled with them and used for three nights was found to be worn down only a quart er of an inch. They cost only 5 cents per pound, while rattan or split bamboo costs from 7 to U cents per pound. If these hickory splints can be procured in suf ficient Quantities, they will be given the preference, and the city will not have to depend on the heathen Chinee for mate rial for street brooms. "Will Settle It on the Track. There Is considerable talk among drivers on the "White House road about a proposed contest between Frank C. Baker's Little Stfald and P. J. Cronin's Hamrock. The Maid has beaten Hamrock on the road a few times, but it seems that Mr. Cronln isn't quite satisfied, and wants a go on the track; consequently, Baker has of fered to match his mare against Ham rock for $250 a side, to go one mile on the Irvington track; owners to drive, and to buggies; the race to take place at o'clock on Saturday, September S, each to select a Judge, and the two judges to select a third; Tules of the National Trotting Association to govern. Cricketers to Seattle. Ono of the most Important cricket matches of the year has been arranged between the Se attle Cricket Club and Multnomah's crick et team.

Cawston, whD recently returned from Seattle, re ports good material for cricket in that city. As Multnomah has the strongest list of players this year that the club lias ever had, there will be considerable rivalry to make the team and the trip. Complaining "Witness Arrested. Mrs. Vivian Hargrave, wife of Robert Har grave, a colored waiter In the Portland Hotel, was arrested yesterday afternoon and confined in the city Jail. Mrs. Har grave is the complaining witness against her husband, whom she had arrested on a charge of threatening to kill her. This was last week.

The committee in charge consists of -J. "W. Collyer, A B. Andrews and "W. H. Marshall. Freed From Blame. At the Coroner's inquest over Robert J.

C. H. My Agramonte, proprietor of the Weekly Anglo-American, published in the City of Mexico, was at the Portland yes terday, visiting General Burke. Senor Agramonte is an American in every re spect, although his name Indicates Span ish ancestry. In appearance and conver sation he seems a pure-blood Anglo-Saxon. Senor Agramonte is an ardent sup porter and admirer of General Diaz. Pres ident of Mexico, who was recently re elected unanimously. This famous patriot and wise statesmen, he believes one of the great figures of the present century. A smaller man that General Diaz," said he, "would not through a spirit of jealousy, bring into his political household the great minds of the nation. A small leader is overshadowed by great advisers. General Diaz shows one of his greatest qualities in bringing about him the best and truest men to be found in the nation. He is too lofty to hesitate in the nation's service for fear of selfish loss. And well he may act so. for he is head and shoul ders above all. Alt of his Ministers are able men, particularly qualified,-for their duties. I could name the Cabinet and after each tell of some particular ability for the position filled. "But these are matters remote from Oregon, and probably of passing Interest I have been completely surprised at your climate and more than surprised at your city. When my friend. General Burke, wrote me that he had decided to settle down In Portland for the remainder of his life, I wondered why on earth he had chosen an out-of-the-way place to enjoy life. I thought he had stepped well into the wlldernesss. Imagine my surprise at finding all the conveniences of the best city, and a climate unsurpassed. Had 1 known Portland as I now do, my stay here would not have been timed for three days. In fact I envy the General his choice. Next Spring I shall bring my wife to Portland for an extended visit" Senor Agramonte had with -him his two boys, who, with their beautiful sombreros, attracted much attention. Their polite manner provoked much admiration. Senor Agramonte is a 33d degree Mason, the head of the Scottish Rite order In Mexico. IN MOUNTAIN FASTNESSES. Hovr Fortlemders Enjoy Themselves In the Heart of the Cascades. Several Portlknders who have become, tired of going to the overcrowded beaches determined to try the mountains for a change last Sunday, and went to "the nearest Summer resort, the Cascade Springs. They had a delightful ride on the Spokane flyer to Bonneville Saturday afternoon, enjoying the finest scenery of the Columbia on their way, and landed at Bonneville in a shower of thousands of pretty reddish brown and black but terflies. The local Charon who ferried them across the Columbia said these but terflies had all "come out" within the last two or three days. He has lived Just, across from Bonneville for 30 years or more, and has ascended all the high peaks in that vicinity, and killed bear and deer on them, having been a mighty hunter in days gone by. He pointed out the highest peak on the Washington side of the. river, at the foot of which the Cas cade Springs are located, and said there was a level tract on its summit and a fine, large huckleberry tfatch. Deer and bear arev not so numerous In that section as before the railroad was built and he thinks the blasting during its construction scared them away. A pleasant walk of a mile or so up the river and a mile or so to the foot of the moun tains brought them to the springs, where they formed a very jolly company, the hotel being well filled and quite a num ber of families camping in the vicinity. Their chief object in life seemed to ba to see how much of the health-imparting 1 water they could drink, to bathe In the same as often as judicious, and to be on hand promptly when the bell rang for meals. Between spells they visited an In dian village peopled by descendants of the aborigines who fought Sheridan at the old blockhouse, near by. or strolled to one of the lakes In the vicinity, went fishing or hunting, and overloaded the swing and hammocks. , Bathing is as much of an Institution there as at the beach, and much more pleasant as the water is tempered to the shorn lambs, and half a dozen girls safely fastened Into the plunge bath can make more noise than as many miles of people on the beach. One of tho party got himself Into trou ble by over-offlclousness. He saw what he took to be a black handkerchief lying on the grass near the walk to the baths, and attempted to place It on the fence, where the owner might see it As he raised it from the ground he saw that it was apparently a pair of knlckerbocker pantaloons adapted to a boy of 10 or 12 years, and he was scared out of several years' growth, by hearing a young woman yell: "What are you doing with my bath ing suit?" "Great Caesar! Do you call that a whole bathing suit?" he exclaimed, as ho dropped the abbreviated garment and fled. One of the guests was" an indefatigable hunter, a regular "man behind the gun," all the time Other guests would see ducks on every lake they visited, meet pheasants prowling along the paths morn ing and evening, shake them out of the trees they flew into, but the man behind the gun could never meet any of those birds. His bad luck recalled tho old say ing: "What funny things one sees when he doesn't have a gun!" The cool breezes and the full moon made the evenings so pleasant that all stayed out on the porches till near midnight, and then they slept like logs till 9 AM. Convenience of access and nearness to the city attract numbers to these springs, as the family man can leave Portland after business hours and reach them in three hours or less, or by taking the 9:15 train in the morning can be at the hotel In time for luncheon. FORGED DEEDS. People Can. Protect Themselves From Imposition if They Will. After a period of Inactivity, the real estate swindler has again come to the front in this city, and If one may judge from the "cases recently reported In the newspapers, some of our good citizens seem to have forgotten all about him and his methods. In a city like Portland, with its 100,000 people, even as Important a transaction as the transfer cf real es tate must often be1 made upon slight ac quaintance, whereby opportunity Is pre sented for Impersonation. No matter how shrewd and careful a man may be, he is no match for tho swindler, who haa carefully studied every move he intends to make and who Is generally aidod by skillful accomplices. A forged deed constitutes about the most dangerous kind of fraud that can be thought of, because years may elapso before the forgery is detected, and it may then bo too late to make recovery or bring the perpetrator to justice. Tho remedy and only sure protection against fraudulent or forged deeds is title in surance, and with this available there is no reason why our citizens should pre sent themselves willing victims to the forger and real estate confidence op erator. The Title Guarantee & Trust Company, for many years established and doing business in this community, and of which William M. Ladd is president, and J. Tborburn Ross, vice-president and man ager, has a complete abstract of every foot of land In Multnomah County, made at great expense of time and money by trained experts and attorneys. Its ex amination is accurate and thorough, and the opinion of its expert counsel is called for and filed in every transaction. The purchaser of title Insurance has by this examination and opinion the same proof of title as in the old system, and, in ad dition, a policy of title insurance guaran teeing him against loss by reason of fraud, error or ignorance, for all of which he pays one fee instead of two. No pru dent person should buy a piece of real estatq unless the seller furnishes titli insurance. All careful lenders of money on real estate mortgage should require a policy of title insurance for the full amount of the mortgage. In this way only are the purchasers of property or the holders of mortgages protected from loss. RATE REDUCED TO CHICAGO For the occasion of the National en campment of the G. A R., the O.

At a meeting of the women's auxiliary committee yesterday afternoon plans for the floral parade which is to bo one of the novel attractions of woman's day were discussed, and It was decided to offer liberal prizes for the most effective displays. One hundred dollars In cash prizes, besides the useful and ornamental articles now displayed in the windows of Aldrich's pharmacy, will be awarded for the best decorated double and single team vehicles, tandems, turn-outs, bi cycles, men and women on horseback, and last of all for the prettiest baby in the best decorated baby-buggy. The women of the committee have their hearts set upon rivalling in their floral parade the famous rose carnivals and flower shows of California, and wish the co-operation of all persons having car riages, tandem teams, tally-hos, traps and vehicles of any kind or description, in making their parade a complete suc cess. As the Queen of Flowers for tho day Miss Bessie Fitzgerald has been chosen, who will occupy the place of honor in the pageant with her retinue of Cupids and flower-fairies. Tally-ho3 of Drettv rfrls in costume, casting flow ers at the spectators, carriages full of Pickwickian characters, the court of tho King and Queen of the Carnival in its royal equipage, will all appear to make the spectacle memorable. "Women's Exhibit. For the women's building all the deco rations and exhibits will be arranged by the labor of feminine hands. The com mittee is eager to get displays of needle work and exhibits of jellies, jams, pickles, preserved fruit, etc., for tho depart ment that will represent the domestic and household achievements of women, and a number of booths, have been al lotted for this purpose. Off from the main reception room In the building will be the Japanese tearoom, decorated In Oriental style, where visitors will be served with tea by girls In Japanese costume. An Indian curio room is being planned, containing 'exhibits of Indian baskets and curios collected by the wom en of Portland. Indian women making baskets in their native fashion will be seen In thi3 section. The manufacture of the souvenir carnival buttons will be car ried on in the building by a number of deft-fingered young women who are adepts In this work. An artroom with many of the loading works of art gath ered that hang on the walls of Port land's homes will be an interesting place for the visitqr to while away a half-hour In delightful surroundings. uIrs. George Wemple, chairman of the women's auxiliary committee, and -Mrs. John Lang, secretary, who was superin tendent of last year's 'women's exhibit at tho exposition, will be at the carnival headquarters, Imperial Hotel, dally from 2 to 5 P. M., to confer with anyone re garding the floral parade, or exhibits for the woman's building. Elks' Headquarters. The accommodation committee, H. C. Bowers, chairman, yesterday secured tho Tabernacle building. Twelfth and Morri son streets, as headquarters for the vis iting Elks' lodges. Tho walls will bo decorated in the purple of the order, and the building arranged for the com fort of the visitors. Carnival ITotes. The Salem Lodge of Elks yesterday sent its response to the invitation of the Port land Elks, stating that it would attend in a body, with a brass band to lead the ranks in the parade. Handsome gold and silver medals for the best-decorated buildings in the city have been ordered, and will be on display before the end of the week. Work on the rustic garden was begun yesterday morning, and all the work of transforming Sixth street is going on rapidly. Regular watchmen are now on duty day and night, and upon the com pletion of the buildings a perfect fire patrol system will be established. Advices received from different mining districts indicate that a very large and varied mining exhibit will be offered for display and explanation in the mineral department of the street fair. Tho execu tive committee, after careful considera tion and various suggestions, has come to the conclusion that Angus McQueen will be the most acceptable of all experts to pass upon the eligibility of these exhibits, and he will be asked to act in that capac ity. If he accepts, this will insure an exhibition of the best, stralghtest and most honest exhibits ever presented in the Pacific Northwest PERSONAL MENTION. H. B.

The Silver Republican "mass conven tion" executive session held Saturday was a lively affair. Rumors were about that the Saturday meeting had not been fully reported in the press, and yester day J. R. Lambly, who was one of those present, was requested to give further particulars. In reply he said: "There were present at the mass con vention nine persons A. P. Curry, who sat in two Democratic conventions this year; J. B. Sargent, E. O. Connor and W. B. Turner, who sat in ono Democratic convention; H. W. Craven, an out-and-out Democrat; D. E. Blair, who voted at the Democratic primaries and was a de feated candidate for delegate; G. W. Burch, E. W. Hand and myself. At the opening of the meeting I mentioned tho facts about these gentlemen and askod that the meeting be purged of all but Silver Republicans. I was voted down unanimously by the others present, who insisted that the gentlemen were not dis qualified as Silver Republicans by con nection with Democratic conventions. "I also tried to have the Spokesman Review reporter permitted to remain, but they would not allow that They then went ahead, dfc told In the paper. I have decided upon a course of action and have prepared and mailed letters." Copies of these letters were furnished by Mr. Lambly. One, addressed to A. P. Curry, Is as follows: "I enclose for your Information a copy of a letter I send by this mall to Chair, man F. S. Griffith. In doing this I am following out the policy I have deter mined upon to purge the management of the Silver Republican party, so far as in my power, of all persons who are acting In a dual capacity, and I reiterate that underlying it there is not a shadow of personal feeling. And If I should fail In this purgative process I shall at least have the satisfaction of knewinjr that I am right." i The letter to Chairman Griffith referred to is signed by Mr. Lambly as "Chair man Silver Republican County Central Committee," and is a "protest against the appointment of A B. Curry as a state committeeman of the Silver Republican party, for the reason 'that when Mr. A P. Curry entered a Democratic conv6n tlon and took part in its deliberations as a delegate, he thereby severed his po litical connection with the Silver Repub lican party, and is not qualified to rep resent that party." It warns Chairman Griffith, further that "any official act by Mr. A P. Curry In such capacity will be deemed tainted by misrepresentation, and to a certain extent fraudulent" Oregon Dairying Outloolc. Salem Statesman.
