Across First-Street Bridge. The City
& Suburban Railway Company has com
pleted the work of laying a double track
from First and Sheridan streets across
the First-street bridge to connection with
their old line at Porter street. The bridge
between their tracks and for a foot on
each side thereof has been newly planked
in a substantial manner. The company
has commenced the work of relaying the
Mount Tabor track from Rosedale Station
to the west end of the line, replacing the
30-pound rails with CO-pound rails. By the
time this job Is completed the 7-lnch
girder rails, weighing 5 pounds to the
yard, for the line from First and Burn
side streets up Flanders street and down
Seventh to the central railway station
will have arrived, and the route will bs
graded so that tracklaying can be com
menced at once.
Laborers More Plentiful. For the
first time in two years there are more
laboring men than Jobs in Portland. The
employment agencies explain this by say
ing that the scare of the Presidential
campaign has not yet fully subsided, and
as the days are short and Winter clos
ing In, very little new work is being
carried on Last Fall several railroad
and irrigation canal schemes were called
off to await the result of the election,
and, although the work will be resumed
as soon as the weather permits, the pro
jectors are In no hurry to begin Just now.
A strong feeling of confidence is notice
able in business circles, and when once
work does start up, the demand for men
will exceed the supply.
Bio Christmas Trade. Holiday trad
ing seems to have begun earlier than
usual this year in Portland and most
of the retail stores. which handle goods
that make acceptable gifts are employing
extra help. A reporter who was detailed
to Interview business men on Morrison
and Washington streets yesterday, found
them all so busy that h'e had to talk
to them while they were waiting on cus
tomers, or not at all. People are buying
a better class of goods than formerly,
and this happy change covers the whole
multitude of wants from heating stoves
to clothing and shoes. The holiday rush
has by no means begun, however, as
most people put oft! buying presents until
Christmasweek has almost arrived.
To Build More Rafts. H. R. Robert
son, of the Robertson Raft Company, Is
at the Portland. He says his company
will proceed to construct rafts both at
Stella and on Puget Sound, notwithstand
ing the attempt to legislate the business
out of existence. The making of these
rafts will employ quite a number of men
for several months, and cause the dis
tribution of many thousands of dollars en
the Lower Columbia and on the Sound.
Reward Offered. The police report
that no trace has been discovered, so far,
of the robbers who recently stole $4728
from the Western Lumber Company. The
latter has offered a reward of I2G0 for
the arrest and conviction of the robbers,
and 10 per cent on any portion of the
money which may be recovered.
Better Roads. The sharp frost Sun
day night and the sunshlnn r5tpninv
have done much toward drying up the
mua, ana nave greatly Improved the con
dition of the roads In the country, to the
great relief of farmers, who of late have
not been able to bring their products to
town.

ment of the former company amounted
to $351,690 37, and It was in order to satisfy

Mr. Ross Is acting for will not be di
vulged for tho present. There was a per
sistent rumor yesterday that he was rep
resenting William M. Ladd, but this was
Immediately denied.
Reply to Catlln' Snlt.
Catherine Theresa Clark has filed a reply
In her suit against Robert Catlln Involv
ing valuable property at Twenty-first and
Everett streets, setting up that , Catlln
obtained a deed to the property from
Mary Ahern, by false and fraudulent
means, and without consideration. Miss
Clark, who was a niece of Mrs. Ahern,
holds a deed to the house and lots re
ferred to, executed by her aunt April 20,
1897. The deed of Catlln is dated July
31. 197, but was not filed byjilm for rec
ord until Immediately after the death of
Mrs. Ahern. In his answer to Miss
Clark's complaint, Catlln alleges that
Mrs. Ahern was Insane and under the
influence of her niece when she made the
deed to her. Mark O'Neill, attorney for
the plaintiff, moved to strike out this de
fense, on the ground that Catlln did not
show that Mrs. Ahern had recovered
when she executed the subsequent In
strument in his, Catlin's, favor, and the
court denied the motion, holding It to be
a question of proof. In the reply It Is
averred that there existed between Catlln
and Mary Ahern the confidential rela
tion of attorney and client, and that he,
knowing she had previously executed a
deed to her niece, designing to cheat and
defraud Miss Clark, and by false and
fraudulent persuasions, caused said pre
tended deed to himself to be executed by
Mrs. Ahern, and without any considera
tion whatever. It Is further stated that
Catlln Is not related to Mary Ahern by
blood, marriage or otherwise, and the
court Is asked to cancel his deed and de
clare It void.

a Chinaman on a hopfarm In Washington
County, has been taken in custody by
the Sheriff of that county. A writ of

Sears' court last Saturday, made return

Frazer. The writ was served on Chief of
Police McLauchlan, but only a half hour
before he had surrendered the Chinaman

ington County. Accordingly, when, tho
matter came up In court yesterday, the
Chinaman was not produced, and the
wrathful attorney for the defendant had
no other recourse than to drop the case.
A petition for a writ of habeas corpus
was filed In the Circuit Court yesterday,
charging Charles Murphy, convicted in
the Municipal Court April 19, for having
morphine in possession, was unlawfully

A WINTER ROUTE TO THE EAST.
The climate of Utah and Colorado is
temperate the year round, and clear skies
and sunlit days are as proverbial In Win
ter as In Summer. The mean annual tem
perature In Salt Lake City or Denver Is
about 55 degrees, and the average annual
precipitation 14.77 Inches. With such in
consequential precipitation there can be
little or no trouble from snow In the dis
tricts traversed by the Rio Grande West
ern Railway, and Its immediate connec
tionsthe Colorado Midland or Denver &
Rio Grande Railroads.
In fact Winter adds but new grandeur
and charm to the travel scenes, and In
fuses an element of variety and beauty
to the unsurpassed wonders of nature
along the Great Salt Lake Route. Tickets
to all points East may be obtained at 253
