Electric Company Offers to Renew Its Contract at ?5,000 Confer ence to Be Held. Whether Portland's street lighting serv ice for 1901-1902 will be the same as now or 20 per cent less, depends upon the outcome of a conference which the Board of Public Works will hold with the light committee of the City Council and the officers of the Portland General Electric Company. It was expected that the Board of Public Works would take some action on this year's contract at yester day's meeting, but it found itself forced to choose between spending $10,000 more than is available, or cutting out every fifth light, so it decided to await the re sult of the conference. The electric com pany has offered to renew the present contract and give the same service as now for 553.000. The light fund, which the board has at its disposal, amount to $43, 000. Under the relief act recently passed by the Legislature, the Council has power to transfer from the general fund to the light fund. If the Council will not trans fer $10,000 and the company will not come down in its bid, the chances favor a re duction In the number of lights. The board did a big day's business in street work. Contracts for Improvements amounting to $33,1S3 07 were awarded. The sewer contracts were small, amounting all told, to only $259. The two largest con tracts were for the opening of East Elev enth, between Belmont and East Gllsan, at a cost of $S$G7 16, and East Thirty-fifth between Hawthorne avenue and East Stark at a cost of $6800 55. The improv ments of these streets will be a vast im provement to the East Side.

The company play but two nights, Friday and Saturday, February 15 and 16, with a special matinee Satur day at 2:15. "The Rounders" Is said to be the greatest New York Casino success since the "Belle of New York." It is an adaptation from a French farce made by Harry B. Smith, with original lyrics and a musical setting by Ludwlg Eng lander. It held the boards at the New York Casino for over five months last Spring and Summer, and will be pre sented here by almost identically the same company as made it a success there. Thomas Q. Seabrooke is at the head of the organization. He is a comedian who is original, unique and humorous in what ever part he portrays, me iaea or nis part Is original and humorous to start with an Irish Turk. The story of "The Rounders" Is by Harry B. Smith, who has brought the story up to date, and Ludwig Englander has fitted to it a bright, tuneful musical score which has added greatly to the success of the piece.

Although the play has now been several years in the public eye, it is still at the height of Its popularity, and the popular demand Is greater for It now than for many a new play. The play was drama tized from Anthony Hope's novel, by E. E. Rose, and shows immense menu What elaboration there is shows a master-hand. The incidents of the novel are closely adhered to and are most effect ively handled, while the atmosphere of romance Is never once allowed to relapse. The heart story is touching, and affords one of the noblest lessons In moral cour age ever presented on the stage. The scenery Is most elaborate and the cos tuming effective.

The attendance report of Superintendent Higler shows a total of 10,565 pupils at the public schools yesterday. This Is an in crease of 411 over the attenddance of one year ago, notwithstanding the fact that about 100 pupils of the Central School are still absent on account of the diphthe ria scare. There are. many applications to have the absentees transferred to other East Side schools, but the crowded con dition of those schools makes it impos sible for such requests to be granted.

Exorbitant Price for Ita-rr Material Prevail America's Opportunity. Residents of Oregon who view the cul ture of flax with favor will be Interested in the following report, taken from the official advance sheets, February 5: The annual flax markets at Brealau, Ger many, December 11, 1900, and at Trautenau, Bohemia, December 13, 1000, were largely at tended. While great Interest In these meet ings was manifested, both by flax dealers and manufacturers, there was very little business transacted, on account of the exorbitant prices of raw flax. Russian raw flax Is going up In price dally, and It Is evident that the ma terial on hand in Europe will not cover the demand for consumption. There never was a more opportune time to Introduce American flax into Europe than the present. The flax harvest of Russia this season Is probably 40 per cent less than that of last year, although the harvest of 1899 fell short of being an average one. The worst feature about Russian flax of this season Is now dis closed It Is not only wanting In quantity, but also In quality. Flax spinners usually pro duce from 100 pounds of Russian flax 45 to 55 per cent of good fiber, but the flax of the season of 1000 only jlelds 23 to 29 per cent. Besides this, the price of the raw material this year has Increased threefold, compared with previous years. It has been said br growers and dealers that four 'years of good harvests In Europe will be necessary to bring flax down to a normal price. At the present time, Russian flax meets with no effective competition in Europe; the flax spinners of Germany, Belgium, Austria, France, Great Britain and Italy are chiefly dependent on Russian flax, the production of raw flax, in those countries being only an In significant percentage of their consumption. To meet the very difficult situation of tho flax market 'and to bring the prices of yarn into consonance with the high-priced raw ma terial, the spinners of Germany. Austria. Bel gium and France have made an agreement that on and after January 1, 1001, only 85 per cent of their spindles shall be operated. It Is well known that many flax spinners are oper ating only one-third and others only one fourth of their spindles. Austrian fiats 'spinners' have united and bought one of the largest Bohemian mills, with 12,000 spindles, with the positive agree ment that the machines are to be sold and that the mill shall never again engage in the spinning of flax. All this trouble arises solely from want of raw flax. European flax spinners hope that American growers will take advantage of this opportunity to Introduce flax Into Europe. It Is certain that American flax could at all It was only the other day that I learned from a German flax expert that the American fiber, on the average, is much superior to the Russian. "WILLIAM K.
