The rummage sale was kept up at a lively clip yester day at the store on Third street, between "Washington and Stark. The women or xhe Unitarian Church were on duty as saleswomen, and many were the custom ers that went away satisfied over the purchase of some article exactly tlttlng into their Individual desires, while the very same identical articles had been cast away by others as practically useless. The business done Saturday was Immense, and that of yesterday was almost equal to It. The women running the sale are display ing all the Ingenuity that marks the man agement of a large department store. Every day they spring on the unsuspect ing public a new lot of articles to rum mage over, and those who have made lucky purchases on the preceding days are kept in a torment of anxiety for fear that other chances will be lost by fall ing to visit the store daily In search of "bargains. All the articles are marked, not according to their value, but to the purse of the purchaser. New donations are being received dally. The telephone number of the collecting department is Main 63S, where notice can be given of articles which people desire to donate to the sale. The managers want arly no tice of articles to be contributed, so that they can be called for in the morning and placed Immediately on sale and speedily sold to some keen bargain-hunter. Basedali.

Meantime, the committee will be glad to bear from such citizens as they are un able to see. Discussed Drtdock. The special com mittee of the Chamber of Commerce held an Informal meeting yesterday morning, for a discussion of the most convenient site for a drydock. ICo definite conclu sion was reached, but the sentiment pre vailed that the drydock should be located below all the bridges of the. city and that the material used in its construction should be of a durable nature and that its capacity should be sufficient to ac commodate the largest vessels vlsltlnc Portland harbor. Plans and specifications will be on paper In a short time and these will be submitted to the Port of Portland Commission and the Chamber of Com merce. The committee is, proceeding very refully in the matter 'and seeking ad vice from those best informed on the requirements of a first-class drydock. Men Back From Lightship. Andrew Allen, who superintended the moving of lightship 50 across the peninsula near Ilwaco, has returned home to Portland to rest. He says the vessel wilL be re paired and all ready for launching again by May 19. She will "be slid into the wa ters of Baker's Bay. on rollers, after a plank roadway has been laid. The launch ing will occur at low tide, and when the -waters rise she will be taken across to Astoria, where the Iron work will be fin ished. The large force of laborers en gaged in moving the vessel have returned to Portland and a crew of ship carpen ters, calkers, etc., taken down to the scene. "Warm Rains Beneficial The late warm showers have been beneficial to crops of all kinds. A man who has been looking over quite a section of the coun try says that wheat, hops, etc., are not Quite so forward as they were at this time last year, but are lookjng fine. The cool weather held them back, which was a good thing, as now they are making a fine even start. The warm showers have proved a great Impetus to vegetation In and about this city. Roses are bursting into bloom everywhere. In a few days the horse chestnuts, honey locust, snow balls and many others will be in full "bloom, and there will be roses galore.

The per- i son who made the offer to supply, the names free for the use of the advertising space understands now. if he did not when he left the meeting of the street committee, that his scheme will not be entertained for a moment. His proposi tion of course had to be listened to. and he was entitled to respectful treatment, but if the committee did not express their ideas forcibly enough to convince him that his .scheme would not be entertained It was because they did not wish to ap pear rude. The public may rest assured that the authorities will not allow any ad vertising scheme tb be connected with the matter of putting up street names on the corners. . Reception to Judge Caples.

The night before the robbery he was seen about the car-barn. The peculiar nature of the theft, the money having been taken from the cash drawer of the office, and the manner in which it was executed, indicated to the detectives that some one familiar with the premises had committed the crime. As the evidence was followed up it pointed clearer and clearer to Bethune, and the detectives had determined on the arrest, when Bethune voluntarily gave himself up. Bethune has none of the looks of the criminal. On the contrary, his story is one of a man, maddened by his Inability to get work, pressed for money, yielding to the temptation of theft while under the influence of liquor. When sobering from the effects of a debauch and feeling re morse, he gave himself up to the officers of the law when he learned that they were on his track. As he said yesterday at the Police Station, after being taken into custody: "I am not used to being In such trouble, and I would be glad if I had the power to keep this out of the papers. This is the first time I was ever arrested. 1 took the money while under the influence of liquor and In a temporary fit of mad ness, I suppose. I never did anything like this before, and never expect to again. "Yes, I was formerly in the employ of the City & Suburban Company. Three weeks ago I was discharged." "And what was the reason given?" was the question asked. "There was no reason given. I received a note telling me my services were no longer required." "Was that one of your motives for the hurglary?" was asked. "No, It had nothing to do with it. I felt that I had not been fairly treated by the company, but that was not the reason. I was In straitened circumstances, out of employment, and I grew desperate, and knowing where the money was. I simply went there, while under the influ ence of liquor and a sudden impulse, and took it. To get into the office I had to spripg In the door, and broke off the lock of the till. "I have been in Portland about a year. and came here from Los Angeles. I have always been employed In the street rail way business." ' The detectives recovered yesterday $80 of the money. After breaking In the of fice of the car-barn, Bethune did not re turn home, but went off on a .prolonged spree, and the money recovered was all he had left. While the detectives were on his trail they found where he had part of the money cashed in a Third street lodging-house, and several places where he had paid off debts. The war rant for his arrest was sworn out at the Instance of the street car company, and the charge of larceny against him will be prosecuted. WHERE TO DINE TODAY.
