'Vaisjatton of Property. The -work
tot entering the valuation of property
for assessment on the assessment roll
will be commenced thlB -week. The val
uation ot bulldlntrs and other Improve
ments -will be entered first, and next
the real estate, as soon as It is decided
on -what basis the valuation is to be
made. There has been a larre amount
of labor expended on tho tax roll this
Tear In the "way ol entering the sizes of
all lots In all additions in the column
provided for this purpose. This, It ap
pears, has not been done heretofore, and
all lots In the various additions have
been assessed as of the same size, either
25x100 or GOxlTO Xeet, -while in many cases
lots havo been reduced by streets be
Ine -widened, etc. Now the size of every
lot -will be before the clerk who fieures
tip the valuation. The valuation of real
estate Is, it is said, being delayed till
it can be seen how much the licenses
under tho blanket license ordinance are
to be, and it has been intimated that the
blanket license ordinance was being de
layed till it can be seen what sort of a
aluatlon of city property there Is go
ing to be this year. A low valuation
and no license tax Is what most peoplo
aro longing for, but they all want good
streets, good lights, free bridges, etc., all
the same.
Fiulctioot "Wagon "Wheel. -At an early
hour yesterday morning the front axle of
a. milk wagon being driven down -Morrison
street broke as the vehicle was
crossing Fourth street. The off front
wheel parted company with the wagon
and started off on Its own hook. Instead
of sticking to the street, as well reg
ulated wheels should, it took a sheer to
the right, Jumped to the sidewalk and
ran against a big plate of glass in the
front of Ben Selling's store. Tha glass
was demolished, and the wheel was cap
tured before it had a chance to do any
more damage. By a. little after 1 P. M. a
new plate of glass -was placed In the
store front, the wreckage cleared away
and all the evidence remaining of tho
catastrophe was thnt the large plate of
glass on the west side of tho main en
trance to Mr. Selling's store bore the
Imprint of finger marks and needed clean
ing. Of course, the first question every
body asked was: "Will the milkman
have to pay for the glass?" The answer
to this conundrum will be furnisheJ In
due time. It is the difference of opinion
in regard to the liability in such and
other cases that renders courts and law
yers necessary.
LTGHTsnrp Still on Shore. The light
ship Columbia Is still on the beach near
McKenzle's Head, where she drifted
' ashore In a gale last Spring. The com
pany Which, contracted to get her afloat
ias failed to far to do so. The last con
tract was let to the Wolff & Zwleker
"Iron Works, and their time, it is under
stood, has expired without anything hav
ing been accomplished. It is probable
ihat an extension of time -will be askid
for, but the season is getting late, and if
tho lightship is to be available this Win
ter she will have to be got afloat soon.
It may be that the next time a con
tract for getting her afloat is let the
people "who proposed to move her across
the land and launch her in Bakers Bay
will be given a chance to try their
scheme. Their idea -was to build a cradle
to hold the ve&sel and to lay a railroad
to baul the cradle across on. Of course,
only a short .piece of track would bo
required, as it could be taken up as
fast as the cradle was moved along and
relaid ahaid of It.
Horse Abattoir to Shut Down. The.
horso abattoir at Unnton is not to bo
started up this Fall, although there are
large bands of eayuses cavorting over the
ranges of Eastern .Oregon literally roll
ing in fat and longing to be pickled and
sent on a European tour before the cold,
chilly winds of December send them
cowering and shivering into some can
yon to starve through the Winter. The
managers of the abattoir, however, know
-when theythave had enough, and have
decided to quit. They have worked hard
for several years to rid the ranges of
Eastern Oregon of useless horses and
to furnish Xkio people of France, Sweden,
Denmark, Germany or any other country
"where horse meat is eaten with a supe
rior article, but the governments of
these countries have put every possible
obstruction in their way, and have pre
vented them from making any profit, so
they have concluded to stop exporting
horse meat and let those who are hun
gering for it go starve.
New TCtttortbr. A new woman evan
gelist or curbstone fexhorter has come to
town. She has a voice almost as sweet
and powerful as the lone woman who
proclaims her ideas of the gospel to all
the world from the pavement at Third
and Morrison occasionally. The new
woman, however, is accompanied by a
man, who might sit for a picture of &
Hoer Commander. The pair seem to mln
jgle business with pleasure, as on the pave
ment at the -woman's feet Is spread an
advertisement urging people to subscribe
for three '"books, which furnish informa
tion on a number of unknowable things.
Any one desiring to know why the devil
is allowed to- tempt people or why the
devil he shouldn't be allowed to do so,
why prayer Is not answered and things
ot that sort can find out by purchasing
these three books, perhaps.
New BoAisoum Tha Portland Row
ing Club, whose boathouse is stationed
at the oast end of Morrison-street bridge,
Trill shortly have new and enlarged
quarters. Its present boathouse Is alto
gother too small for Its purposes and
tha growth of the club. Another boat
house, larger than the present one, will
be built on the cast side of the present
structure. The foundation has been laid
in the water, and consists of large logs,
with wide spaces between, Tho old
boathouse stands on a single barge, but
the new one will rest on several floats,
which will be built in the spaces be
tween tho logs. This is regarded as ih
Improvement over tho plan of having a
single barge. Work on the new structure
will soon begin, and when it is com
pleted the club will havo very -fine and
ample quarters.
A lflucH-NfiBDED improvement has Just
been made in the retail department of
tho J. K. Gill Company's store. Third and
Alder streets. Their office has been
moved to the gallery, giving all the rear
spaoe on Alder street for their salesroom.
Buyers of school books and supplies can
be more readily served, and can easily
pass out at the Alder-street doors. Their
force of retail clerks will be largely in
creased on Monday.

Abundance op Upland Birds. Sports
men are being driven wild by the reports
coming from' all parts of the country in
regard to the swarms of upland game
birds, the size of the young ones, which
are said to bo full-grown, and the num
bers which are being killed by the farm
ers' boys. Because the Spring was ear
lier than usual and" was favorable for
game birds nesting and rearing the first
broods, it is now alleged that the closo
season should end for upland birds w?hen
It does for ducks September 1 or, at
latest, September 15, Instead of extend
ing to October 1. Time drags slowly to
those impatient to 'get out after the
pheasants, and the 30th of September falls
on Sunday, so that things come wrong
for tho sportsmen every way. There is a
very general desire under the circum
stances to press the season a little, and
to begin shooting on Sunday, September
20, but Game Warden Quimby, of course,
cannot grant permission to do this. No
doubt there will be a great deal of
shooting done on that day, as the Game
Warden cannot be everywhere, but sports
men who have observed the law do to
that time do not care to violate it on
the last day and take chances of being
arrested and gaining notoriety they do
not desire. Two weeks from today tho
open season for upland birds begins, but
the season for eating game never opens
to the man who cannot go shooting on has
no chance to steal birds or no sporting
friend to give him any.
New Postofficb Roof. The new tin
roof on the Postofnce building is prac
tically completed. There is some work
to be done to the stone chimneys, as
same of the capstones have disintegrated
and must be replaced. The old slate roof
was a very good roof originally, but
the roof is too flat to be suitable for
slating, as people would get out and
walk on It, and In this way many slates
were broken, causing tho roof to leak. Tho
slates were of the finest quality, and had
the roof been steep would have lasted
forever. The disintegration of some of
the stones in the building Is caused, Mr.
Bayer, the contractor for the new roof,
says, by being laid in the "wrong bed,"
or oil the wrong side. The stone has a
grain, and If bedded In the same way
as. It lay in tho quarry would have
lasted mueh longer. Mr. Bayer has got
through with this job just In time to
send his men t6 San Francisco, where
ho has the contract for roofing the new
Postoffico there and constructing some
27,000 square feet of copper skylights. He
has his material on the ground, and
work will be commenced the last of this
month.
Press Association Meeting. Presi
dent Btewart, of the Oregon Press As
sociation, will be at 162 Second street all
day today to meet the Incoming delegates
to the 14th annual convention of tho
Oregon Press Association, which will be
held In Ashland next Wednesday. Mem
bers will go to Salem tomorrow to be
present at the state fair on Editorial
day. The secretary left for the capital
city last evening, in. order" to assist In
arranging a programme there. Incoming
delegates wishing to see the secretary
will find matters looked after by the as
sistant secretary, Miss Nellie Tozler, at
162 Second street. It Is expected that the
attendance at Salem will be about 150,
and that one-half of the number will go
on to Ashland. A member of the asso
ciation said that there would be com
plete fusion In Ashland, as the Oregon-
M. E. Conference and the Oregon Press
Association will meet there at the same
time.
Mr. Sullivan's Statement. L. M. Sul
livan, of the Sullivan, Grant Bros. & Mc
Carron firm, when asked yesterday if he
or his associates cared to make any an
swer to the statements of Captain Hearn,
of the British ship Genista, and repre
sentatives of the firm of Balfour, Guth
rie & Co., appearing In yesterday's issue
of The Oregonian, replied that at present
he did not Mr. Sullivan said false and
exaggerated statements had been made
against his Arm, but for the present no
answer would be made. Within a short
time, after things had cleared up a little
and the purposes of all connected could
be viewed more accurately, Mr. Sullivan
said an answer would be made.
To Survbt the ColuJIbia. Fremont
Morse, connected with the Coast and Ge
odetic Survey, arrived hero a few days
ago, and proceeded to Camas, Wash. It
is understood that he has come here to
organize a party and resume the work
of making a survey of the Columbia to
the head of tidewater at the Cascades.
The Coast and Geodetic Survey has rot
been .represented here since Captain
Cleveland Rockwell resigned in 1892. Ho
had completed the survey of the Colum
bia as far up as Dady Island, or there
abouts, and .Mr. Morse has gorie to
Camas probably to establish his head
quarters there while completing the sur
vey. ,
Street Extension Completed. The ex
tension of Corbett street from Second
avenue to Fulton, is practically complet
ed, as cars hauling gravel are operated
to Nebraska street and the .track Is bal
lasted to that point Just when the new
line will be put in operation is not known
for certain, but it cannot be long, for the
company and the people of Fulton -are
both anxious to get the cars started. A
car or two still run on the old line to
Fulton Park, but It Is probable that when
the cars begin to run to Fulton "under
the bill" the old line will be abandoned.
Gone a-Fibhino. Harry Gordon and

Beaver Creeks In .this state, it may be
said that the particular one they have
gone to flows Into the ocean between
Taquina Bay and Alsea. The first rains

WHl Open. In "An American Citisca"
at the Mnrqnam,
An event that has been anticipated with
particular pleasure by the better element
of Portland's theatergoers is the engage
ment of James NelU and his admirable
supporting organisation that is to begin
a week's engagement at the Marquam
Grand this evening. The theater manage
ment is to be congratulated on having se
cured for this theatrical season's Initial
attraction so fine a company as the Nellls,
which are the premiers of high-class rep
ertoire organizations in this country. No
theatrical attraction visited the West last
season, or, vice versa, from the Pacific
Coast, that has mot with the universal
praise and flattering financial results that
Mr. Nelll has. This condition may be
largely accounted for in the fact that no
theatrical organization that has appeared
In this section has been in a position to
present the fine class of plays that it is
(Mr. Nelll's privilege to produce exclu
sively on the Pacific Coast ana no sin
gle theatrical star has ever appeared here
who has proven himself -more capable in
appearing in a more widely diversified lino
of important stage characterisations than
Mr. NellL Its plays aro the finest that
money spent in the line of authors' royal
ties can procure, and both individually
and collectively the Nellls are regarded
by the best element of social and com
mercial elements in every city they visit
as thoroughly -worthy of the enviable rep
utation they, have sustained throughout
the length and breadth of this country.
Portland's best social element will wel
come Mn. Nelll and his organization in I
great numbers tonight at the Marquam.

SUCCESS OF A PORTLAND WOMAN'S ART NEEDLE WORK.
SJnce the announcement by the press that Miss Oberg Has been awarded a bronre medal
for her unlaue exhibit of embroidered linen at the Paris exposition, she has been visited by
many congratulating friends. She is naturally pleased, though 'not surprised, that the merit
of her work, which represents a new departure in decorative art, has been rcogrtlzed by
the Judges, as well as by the enthusiastic visitors who have been reported as commenting
with surprise upon it, they never having before seen faces With individual expression em
broidered with -white on white. ,
1 After the close of the exposition Miss Ob erg expects to go. to New York or Washington
to place the exhibit on pale.. Being a large banquet set In the medallions on which appear
the faces of men prominent in American history,) she naturally- expects that It will be pur
chased for the White House. She alBO hopes to secure orders for Elmilar work, to be kept
as heirlooms In wealthy families:
A few of the dollies belonging to the set are still in Miss Oberg b porsesslon, and may be
seen In her decorative art rooms, In the McCleay building, on Washington street
of the larger Interior towns of the state
during the next 10 days. The list Is not
definite yet, but will probably Include
Grant's Pass," Roseburg, Albany, Cor
vallls, McMlnnvllle and other points In
that section of the state. Mr. Holloway
is reputed to be an exceptionally vigo
rous and Instructive speaker, and the
committee expect that his tour will be
productive of great benefit to the party.
A dispatch received a few days ago
announced that the National committee
had booked Colonel Shaw, of Illinois, for
Oregon during the coming canvass. The
state committee has not yet been ad
vised as to the time when he will be
here.
One of' the duties undertaken by the
state committee of late has been the
making of expensive inquiries as to the
effect of the imperialism cry upon the
German voters of the state. The reports
so far received by the committee aro
very satisfactory, and plainly indicate
that there will be little or no disaffec
tion among the German voters on this
score. In two localities where the Ger
man vote was large small losses are re
ported. In two other localities gains are
reported, and In one settlement the re.
port shows that the Republicans not
only hold their own among the 'German
voters, but will have the support of the
few Germans in that precinct who were
for Bryan four years ago.
The state committee has also been
making inquiries in representatlvo pre
cincts where the Silver Republican vote
was heavy four years ago, and finds
that a large number of those who sup
ported Bryan on the mbney question then
will be back in their former political po
sition this year on expansion. The loss
of Gold Democrats is expected to -bo
easily offset by gains In the Sliver Re
publicans. FOR A LIVELY CAMPAIGN.
Iieague of Republican Clubs Will
Wslce the Vetera Up.
Great enthusiasm will be Infused Into
the approaching campaign by the Repub
lican League, organized Friday evening.
To accomplish this work in conjunction
with the Republican State Central Com
mittee was tho object of organizing the
league.
In the East, marching clubs are being
organised in large numbers. Usually they
aro complimentary to the distinguished
Vice-Presidential candidate, in dressing
and styling themselves as Rough Riders.
Such a marching club will be organized
in Portland immediately. The committee
of three chosen at tho meeting for the
purpose, A. E. Jewell, S. C. Spencer and
W. W. Banks, are already at work. One
of the favorite Ideas of the East is to
have the marching club composed entirely
of first-voters, or young men who will
cast this year their- first Presidential
vote. The Portland marching club will
be largely of this class, but as now
understood, not exclusively. Not. until
the committee has been In the field awhile
can It determine whether sufficient first
voters are available.
The active co-operation of every Repub
lican club in the city Is assured. The
presidents and vice-presidents who were
present at the Friday meeting and organ
ized tho league assured the hearty sup
port of all. One of tho first duties will
be reviving the ward clubs. Since the
state election in June these have dropped
Into desuetude, All officers and commit
tees hold their positions, however, and
the organisation is easily put in motion.
One of the first duties befalling the
league will be a ifltting reception to Sen
ator Fairbanks Tuesday evening. A spe
cial effort "will "havo to made for this, as
the league Is barely in shape yet. All
the ward clubs wljl be called liocn to
marshal their membership and bring out
a strong force. By the next rally held
Chero the league wlll have affairs betttr j
arranged. The officers are all expe
rienced workers in local and central
clubs. President F. M. Mulkey has been
one of the foremost members of the
State League, besides, holding office for
years In ward clubs. Vice-President, J.
E. Werlein is also a prominent club
worker, while Secretary R. F. Robinson
and Treasurer J. C. Jameson havd wide
experience.

More Boat Side Improvement.
The outlook for more street improve
ments on the East Side this Fall is en
couraging. Work has been commenced
on East Twenty-eighth street, between
Hast Stark and York streets. East Four
teenth will be improved from Belmont to
East Davis streets. East Twelfth will be
Improved between East Hawthorne ave
nue and Clinton street. These are the
most extensive of projected street work,
although there are shorter improvements
to bo undertaken. The improvement of
East Eleventh, between Belmont and
East Davis, is still hanging fire, but may
be brought about It is stated that tho
approaching sosslom of the Legislature,
when the bonding act for the benefit of
property-owners will either be repealed
or amended, is stimulating property-owners
to take advantage of Its present form.
There is growing anxiety as to what
will be done with the elevated roadways
between Union avenuo and the river, and
it is apprehended that it will soon be
necessary to close the worst of them.
There Is talk of an effort being made to
form a district of these roadways and
assess the property to keep them up, but
that will not afford immediate relief. It
Is also conceded that -the time Is not far
off when both East Morrison, street and
Hawthorne avenue, leading to the Mor
rison and the Madison bridges will have
to be filled across the low ground.
Struck Cement Rock.
The force of mep laying the submerged
gas main on the bottom of the Willam
ette River, on a line with East Ankeny
street, were getting along rapidly until
they struck a hard cement gravel on the.
west side of the river. The material is
so hard that it has to bs broken up with
blasting powder before a trench can be
excavated by the dredger. The past week
has been taken up with blasting out the
bottom of the river. When this has been
finished, the pipe may be laid quickly.
On the east side "of tho river. th& nine
has been laid from a point south of the
Burnslde bridge draw to the shore. From
the shore the pipe Is being clamped to the
piles of the elevated roadway and the
shore line is finished nearly to East First
street. It will be carried to the gas res
ervoir, between East Second and East
Third streets. ,
John Burroughs Clnb.
An effort will bo made within tho next
month to organize a John Burroughs Bird
Club, in the vicinity of the Brooklyn
school, on the East Side. "The organiza
tion was under contemplation last year,
but it was not accomplished. It is hoped
that it will succeed this year, as there,
has been a great Interest in the study'
of birds aroused the past year by the' In
troduction 6f the study In tho Brooklyn
school by tho principal, Miss Dimmlok.
From her, also, it is hoped that much
encouragement will be received.

LACK OF PATRONAGE.
Manager Willis Tails Way Irving-ton
Race Meet Pegged Out.
Charles A. Willis, the well-known turf
man and -writer, who came here recently
from Sacramento, CaU, to manage the
Portland Driving Company's race meet
ing at the Irvington track, and which
was abruptly terminated Thursday be
fore the time set for its completion had
expired, feels that a statement from him
Is due to the public
"While on my way East, in June,"
said Mr. Willis, T was asked by Messrs.
Roberts and Williams, the lessees of the
Irvington racetrack, to organize and
manage for them a race meeting, with
tho understanding that it was to be con
ducted on the highest possible plane.
They1 agreed to stand behind me in tho
management along these lines. The en
tire matter was conducted on tho piano
agreed upon, and Messrs. Roberts and
Williams have fully carried out their
agroement to sustain mo.
"I spent three -weeks in interviewing
the leading business men of this city, and
I must confess that they gave me very
little encouragement They all, without
exception, declared that the sport of rac
ing was at so low an ebb here and so
thoroughly 'rotten' that superhuman ef
forts would be necessary to even seml
purify the racing atmosphere. I was loth
to believe that affairs wero so bad as
this, and strenuously labored to over
come this pessimistic feeling. The lead
ing business men referred to all attribut
ed the bad condition of race matters
hero to the fact that racing undertak
ings In the past in this city had been
run In the interest of the gamblers and
poolsellers, and of the bar at the tracks.
"Unfortunately, the same .class of men
who have hitherto handled tho pooling
privileges here again sought to control
them. They set up tho impotent claim
that theyjiad the right to make the pro
gramme to suit themselves. I balked
them In this endeavor, and consequently
they are enraged -at me. For their en
mity I care nothing whatever, but rather
welcome It than otherwise. I am not in
the least alarmed at any injury tinhorn
gamblers may attempt for my reputa
tion Jn race matters is pretty well es
tablished and cannot suffer from such
sources.
"The conduct of the two days of tho
race meeting was, according to the
statements of the press and of the pub
lic, clean and high class. The .meeting
waB declared off because the two days
devoted to the sport showed a loss of
52200. If the meet had been continued
longer, a total loss of not less than $5000

Oh,
What an ugly tone!"
Inadvertently exclaimed a young lady of
our acquaintance yesterday, when, having
been asked to "play something," she ran
her fingers over the keyboard of ono of
those gaudy, largetslzed, so-called pianos,
which unfortunately so many people have
been led into buying, under the plea that
they are "Just as good as a- Kimball or
a Weber, or a Chickering, and a great
deal cheaper."
It was really a rude remark, but she
herself has a Chickering. and truth will
out. Arid the owner of the "Just-as-good"
piano had found out before that ns to the
"wolf in sheep's clothing" he possessed,
and is coming to our store tomorrow to
get a flne new Kimball, turning in his
"Bob Jones" piano toward part payment
of It.
Moral. Buy a good piano In the first
place; get a Chickering, or a "Weber, or a
Kimball, at Bllers Piano House, and you
will always be pleased with it. Entrance
