A stanch craft of not less than 200 tons -will be required to stand the rough knocking about which the Job Involves. No definite idea can be Klven of how long the services of the relief ship will be required. The bids for moving the Columbia overland and launch ing her In Baker's Bay, which wfere opened several days ago. have only just been sent to Washington to be inspected by the Lighthouse Board, by whom the contract will be awarded. The delay In forwarding the bids was caused by the necessity of making inquiry Into the standing and responsibility of the bidders. The Columbia has not moved since she was driven farther up the beach, soma time ago. and is all right and resting easily. The lowest bidder for putting her Into the water was Harry Reeve, whose offer was $14,630. In the natural order of things the contract will be awarded to him. Invited to an Execution. Neatly printed cards of invitation to attend the hanging of Martin Stlckol. the murderer, in the Cowlitz County jail yard, at Ka lama. between S and 10 o'clock this morn ing, have been received by Sheriff Fra zler and several of his deputies, and Chief of Police McLauchlan and some of his detectives.

Ogden, who went to the Straits of Puca two weeks ago to survey a site for a lighthouse on Slide Point, just east of Clallam Bay, returned yesterday. The object of the survey was to determine whether It Is feasible or not to build a light on the top of this point, which Is about 400 feet above sea level. The point rises abruptly from the water at an angle of about 50 degrees, and Is called Slide Point from the numerous landslides which occur there. The work of making the Mirvey was delayed by the weather, which was very stormy, ren dering it impossible to land some days from the tender Manzanlta, on which Mr. Ogden and party had their quarters. At times during their stay, half a dozen or more ships wore storm-bound In Clal lam Bay. A light Is badly needed at Slide Point, but Whether It can be located on top of the point or not is yet to be de cided. BeBlde the inacesslbllity of the site, the height above the water is an objection, as rendering the light subject to obscuration by fog. Sewers Stood the Strain. The large amount of gravel which the recent freshet deposited in the receiving basins at the inlets to the -Tanner Creek and Johnson Creek sewers has necessitated the clear ing out of the basins, but good use Is being made of the gravel. Employes of tho street department are removing it from the basins, and employes of the county are hauling It away and using It in repairing county roads. Such a free de posit of gravel every once In a while would bo welcome If care were taken to see that too much was not brought down so as to flow into the sewers and cause trouble. The break In Tanner Creek sewer near the corner of the Exposition build ing, causod by pressure of the water in side during the freshet, is causing no Inconvenience, and will be repaired as soon as the we ther settles. The fact that the large sewers passed successfully through so severe a storm and freshet Is very gratlfjing to City Engineer Chase. Qceen's Memorial Services. Members of the various British societies may pro cure their cards of admission for the memorial services of Queen Victoria, to be held at the First Baptist Church, on Sun day night, from thfr following: British Berevolent Society, John Latta.

Sunday, after which the church will be open to the general public. In view of the large number of those who wish to attend, there will prob ably be an overflow meeting In one of the other city churches. Cable Obstructbd bt a Board. The Oregon Telephone Company, which has been trying for a week to get another cable through the conduit between First and Front streets, on Washington, has been obliged to break through the brick pavement and concrete foundation and dig down to and break open me terra cotta conduit at the point where the pas bage of the cable was obstructed. A piece cf board or plank was found in tho con duct, so tightly wedged that It was neces sary to split It Into kindling before it could be removed. Of course, no one knows how the obstruction came to be left In the conduit, but the lost time and trouMe It has caused will cost the com pany quite a sum. Stlvia dk Grasse Reef. Three dol phins have been driven north of the lino marking the south sWe of the proposed cut at the Sylvia de Grassc Reef, In front of Astoria, mention of which was made some time ago. Two of these are below the red buoy, and the other above it. Lights will be maintained on the outside dolphins for the guidance of mariners.

Lepper, formerly a saloon-keeper at Six teenth and Marshall streets, said: "I'll marry Miss , or If she marries any one else I'll die on her wedding day." The girl ho named was married last Mon day, and Lepper died yesterday at the Good Samaritan Hospital from pneumonia. Four or Ave days ago Lepper was taken to the hospital suffering from an attack of the grip, which turned to pneumonia, and he became so delirious that he was placed under restraint. Lepper refused to take medicine or nourishment, and it required four men to hold him to his hospital cot. The physician who attended Lopper said that the sick man seemed determined to die. An investigation re veals no suspicious features in the case. Lepper was about 33 years old. His body Is at Holman's. At the Countt Hospital. Patrick Scanlon, ah old-time railroad hand, who is destitue and suffering from an ulcerated leg, was admitted to the County Hospital yesterday. This makes 24 patients ad mitted this month, an average of one per day. Last month 23 were admitted. The number of admissions is always larger at this season than In the Summer. The hospital is pretty well crowded, but is kept from overflowing by shifting all pa tients to the poor farm as soon as they are able to walk and go to table without assistance. Fine Draft Horses. A team of eight fine horses, hauling the shaft of the steamer Bailey Gatzert up the incline of the Alder-streot dock yesterday, attracted much attention. The load was about as much as the horses could pull, but they were such fine animals, were so well handled and seemed to understand what was required of thorn so well, that many stopped to watch them and gazed after them till they were out of sight. A careful, kind and Intelligent driver is sure to have a well-trained, obedient team. Gambling Will Be Suppressed.

The pub lic meeting called for Sunday afternoon, at the Marquam, to give voice to the pro test against toleration of gambling. Is postponed, and there will be no meeting till further notice.

The "Knobs o Tennessee" will open Its engagement at the Marquam Grand tonight, continuing Saturday matinee and Saturday night. Popular prices tvIII prevail at both evening performances and special at the matinee. During the past five years the most successful of all melodramas have been those that contained a touch of nature that appealed to the heart. Such dra mas will live forever and anon. It was with thfs fact before him that Hal Reid, who 5a known as the author of "Human Hearts," took n trip down to Tennessee and after spending several months in the mountains, mixing and mingling with the natives of that sec tion, wrote and placed before the pub lic "Knobs o' Tennessee," and it is now considered his most famous play.

Great masters have lis tened with close attontion to her play ing, and her compositions have drawn forth genuine praise and admiration. Most people who were fortunate enough to hear her Interpret Wagner, Chopin, Rubensteln and other masters, will be content with the exquisite satisfaction of the fact, and will leave to doctors of psychology to speculate on the causes that led Paloma to follow the divine music Seats are now on sale at the Marquam box office.

As the commer cial interests of the Northwest are to be fostered by the Exposition, and as busi ness men will be asked to lend their influ ence, the designation "American-Oriental Exposition" with a Lewis and Clark sub title, is favored by many.

ONE ON COLONEL MILLER. Hotel Cleric Fooled Him With a Story of a Big Fire. C. H. Gattie, chief clerk of the St. Charles Hotel, Is quite a wag and en joys a harmless joke on the boys, once in a while. The other evening the fire bell rang and Colonel Bob Miller, of Oregonn City, asked where the Are was. "Why, haven't you heard?" Gattie re plied. "There Is a big Are In Oregon City. The principal street Is burning up and they have telephoned to the Portland department for help." The Colonel was taken aback consider ably and immediately prepared to take the next train for home. "No use," said Gattie, "the trolley wires have been burned and you can't get within three miles of the town." The Colonel was nonplussed and It was some time before he could be convinced that the fire was a hoax. The letter carriers who Include the St. Charles In their rounds were the victims of Mr. Gattie's joking a few days ago. He told them their pay was to be reduced to SI 20 per day from the first of the month. "Didn't you see the paper this morning? There was an ar ticle two columns long about the matter."

Senator Hanna got on an F-street car on the way down from the capltol one afternoon recently. The conductor came along for a ticket or a fare. Hanna fum bled In his pockets, looked sheepish, fum bled some more. The conductor stood with his hand outstretched, and said, in a bored voice: "Fare, please." Senator Hanna fumbled some more. It was evident that he had neither ticket nor change. He looked around the car, and spied Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, at the front end of the car. "HI, Piatt!" he shouted. "Got a ticket?" . Senator Piatt turned his vest pocket inside out, but found no tickets. Then he went down into his trousers pockets, and. in the course of time, three pennies dropped Into Mr. Hanna's outstretched hand. Mr. Piatt's methods are deliber ate. He searched some more and then said: "That's all I've got." somewhat testily. Mr. Piatt searched again; then a broad smile broke over his "Fare, please," said the conductor. Tor Infants and Children.
