City accounts will be kept In an up-to-date manner and a. check will be placed upon municipal expenditures If the or dinance Introduced at the meeting: of the Council yesterday and read twice be comes a law. An 'ordinance regulating- the use of bicy cles ana repealing all former ordinances on this subject was passed. A contract for the preparation of a statement of delinquent city taxes from 1SS8 to 1893 was authorized. The Portland Traction Company was granted a. franchise on Burnslde street from First to Fifth. A lengthy and carefully prepared or dinance regulating the payment of city officers and employes, the purchase of supplies for all departments and the payment -of demands against the city was,, Introduced by Bronaugh, read twice and laid over -until next meeting for con sideration. It is Intended to place a check on the expenditure of city funds. It provides that all city officials and de partments shall present monthly esti mates of the amount of monev they will need and for what purpose. It will put a stop to the practice of holding back bills to make expenditures come within appropriations, as has frequently been done, and enable a proper check to be kept on expenditure of every department of the city government. If It is passed It will go into effect July 1. An ordinance authorizing the construc .tion of wood and frame buildings, covered on the walls and nnf with corrugated Iron. Inside h fire limits on the East Side, provided that such buildings do not exceed 15 feet in length and 20 feet In "height, was read twice and referred to. the committee on health and police. An ordinance granting the Portland Traction Company a franchise to build an electric railway on Burnslde street, from "First to Fifth, was passed. The com pany asked for a franchise from First to Washington, but some of the residents on the upper part of Burnslde street think it i? hardly time for a railroad there, so the ordinance was amended by 4he- -street .committee. The change was agreed' to by the company. In this con nection It may be stated that it Is pro posed to open and extend Fifth street Into JCortb Fifth by cutting about CO feet off the corner of block 42, thus straightening the street and an ugly curve in the railway at that point. Delinquent Taxes to Be Listed. Bronaugh Introduced an ordinance ap propriating $370 for procuring a statement of delinquent cltv taxes from 1SSS to 1S93. and anpther authorizing the committee on judiciary and elections to enter into a contract for the preparation of the list. Mr. Bronaugh said the ordinances are intended to protect the rights of the cltv In regard to the law passed by the last Legislature directing that .on July 1 lands which have heretofore been bid on for taxes shall be sold to thg highest bidder for cash. He said that if this law Is carried out the city will lose nearly -all the delinquent taxes, and In order to protect the city Immediate action Is npcessary. Masters asked why the list should not include delinquent taxes for years prev ious to 1SSS. . Bronaugh said it is not worth -while to go back beyond 1SSS. He thought the city has been as much to blame as the property-owners as the method of checking up delinquent taxes prior to consolidation -was -very loose, and no one can tell what taxes have beqn paid and whrt not. " Both of Mr. Bronaugh's ordinances were passed, and he gave notice that on some future time he -Kill introduce an ordinance to cancel the delinquent taxes back of 1SSS. An ordinance authorizing the issuance And sale of street Improvement bonds amounting to about- $5000 was passed. New Ordinance on Blcycllnjr.

Seeton appeared before the Coun cil with x Tequest for the repeal of Ordi nance 1124S, mentioned in Section 1 of the ordinance. This permits bicyclists to ride on the sidewalks across the Ladd tract and on the w est side of Milwaukle street. Mr. Seeton, ho" lives oh Milwaukle street, said the lives of residents there are en dangered by reckless scorchers. B. G.

"On motion of Branch, an amendment was made to Section 10. the repealing sectloti of the new ordinance, by includ ing. "And so much of Ordinance 1126S as relates to Milwaukle street."

Oh tie Tugboat Be whs a Peaceable Cook, bat. oh Snore He Stole Other People's Jewelry. Detectives Snow and' .Kerrigan arrested last evening an Americanized Chinese named. Mar Chong, who has been, leading a double life, nominally as' a fat, peace able cook on a river tugboat, but wben on shore .masquerading as a. desperate burglar in Chinese costume. His career In the latter roIec brought him to grief, for the detectives received a description of a? wily chink that was making sus piciously lightning changes from a sleek, queuelfiso.cook.Jn American, clothes to .a swarthy Oriental with a long braided string of bracto hair and the flowinggarb of his "race. Chong, when arrested, an- SECRETARY CHARTER , COMMISSION Sanderson Reed. grljy protested his "innocence in well modulated' English. "I have not stolen anything, and you do w rong to throw me in jail." he said to thedetectives. A search showed that truth ,w as not one of Chong's strong. suits. On his person was found jewelry that the detectives knew was stolen from two dwellings sev eral weeks ago. The houses entered bj the-,wilr Celestial were those-of George Tabler, 347 Couch street, and John Sleight, 288 'Kearney street. Chong -entered the houses 'by cutting off the ocreen of a rear window, breaking the glass, .and then raising the sash. Miscellaneous articles of jewelry were taken, such as gold watcheo rings, scarfpins, gold nuggets and the like. From the Tabler dwelling; private papers and a check book were stolen. These were found in Chong's pos session, conclusively showing his guilt. When confronted with this evidence Chong confessed to the thefts, saying, however, that two men were with him In the burglary. ; The detectives had been looking for a Chinese of Chong's description for sev eral weeks, but his habit of changing his apparel so often and skipping from place to place baffled their efforts until they picked him up In Chinatown last night. In his possession were also a number of unidentified articles of jewelry, several rings a gold chain, with a locket marked, with 'the Initials "M. M. F.," a fine gold chain a breastpin, with a 'light stone, a pair of earrings, a gold nugget pin and a brown -leather purse. . MORE NEW FACTORIES. One for Working Hard Woodthe. Other for Veneering. Within the next 60 days, perhaps soon er, two more Important factories, em. ploylng a considerable- number of -men, will be in operation in Portend. One is a saw mill and factory for working, up hard wood into parts used in wagon sun dries, Including spokes, single and double trees and similar articles. The other. is a veneering and basket factory. 'At 'the head of the first-named enterprise Is W. E. Robertson. It has been located just south' of the oar factory, "near the foot of East Market street. Work has been started on the plant. Heavy timbers for ttie foundation of the mill have been placed In position. Part of the old build ings formerly occupied by the barrel .fac tory will be used for the boiler, and engine-house. Ash and other Oregon hard wood will be used. , There is abundant capital behind the enterprise. M. Li. Holbrook, at the head of the proposed veneering and basket factory, said j esterday that the company has been organized. Part of- the machinery has been ordered and all of It will soon be here. He also said-that the site for the factory has not yet been settled. Four eitoc are nndpr consideration. One Is at Llnnton and one just below Linnton, on the west side of the river. On the east side of the Willamette a site is offered near the Cone Bros.' saw mill acd at St. Johns. The location will be settled short ly. At the start 25 men will be em ployed, but the plant will be enlarged to include the basket factory. Sellvrood Bananet. The committee of management and In vitation for the Sellwood banquet, to be held Friday evening in Firemen's Hall, In honor of the location of. the Portland Woolen Mill, met last night at the home of E. B. Madden, and completed most of the arrangements. The invitations will be issued today. Mr. Madden, who is printing them free of charge, ,sald yester day they will be ready. By vote of the Sub-Board of Trade these Invitations will go to members of the Sub-Board of Trade, members of the Sellwood Fire Company, those who contributed to the bonus, stockholders of the wollen mill, and the city officials. It was necessary to limit the invitations to these because the hall will not hold everybody, and will be crowded as it Is. The women of Sellwood have taken hold of the banquet with great enthusiasm, and will outdo their former efforts A short programme of music and addresses will be given In the hall. An orchestra has been engaged. Remarks will be made by D. M. Donaugh, presi dent of the Sellwood Sub-Board of Trade, Mayor H. S. Rowe, Professor E D. Cur tis. Major T. C. Bell, W. P. Olds, presi dent of the Woolen Mill Company, and others. The banquet will be served In the hall on the first floor. Bx-Pollcemnn Hudson Here. Ex-Policeman H. M. Hudson, for 34 years on the police force of Portland, is visiting friends on the East Side. He Is now k solid farmer near Kaiama. and so changed is his appearance, with his long, .flowing beard, that even his most intimate friends of former days did not recognize him. He was introduced around as Gov ernor Rogers, of Washington. He said It was a little trying on his nerves, to get used to the quiet of country life, espe cially in the Winter, when the roads get so bad that It .Is almost Impossible to so anywhere. In his retirement he keeps in-, formed on current events by reading the Sunday and Weekly Oregonlan. He re marked that much interest Is being dis played in the quartz mines which are being developed near his farm. It is pro posed to put in machinery and operate on an extensive scale. His farm contains the same formation, and if the develop ments- prove as rich as expected, he may have aT valuable quartz mine right at his door yard. Sending BoatlmlldlBer Material. Joseph Supple, the East Side boatbulld er, Is sending a considerable amount of building material to San Francisco for use In the construction of a boat. The shlpm'ent consists of Oregon knees, sawed out by the Johnson mill, east of Lents, on the Foster road. These are stacked up on Belmont street. TVIr. Stipple will send a four-foot natural-crook oak stem, which will be "made m Washington County. He says Oregon has the finest material for boatbuilding, especially oak. He lost the contract for building the Government ship sometime ago because he suggested that it Tvould be better to get a natural Ore gon, oak crook. In place of one from, the East. A San Francisco contractor got the job, and almost the first thing he did was. to send to Supple for a natural Oregon "oak- crook, which, however, he dldn't:getj as Supple was too busy to makel. To Open East Thirteenth Street. There are prospects that East Thir teenth street will be opened through the Tibbets property, between Clinton and Powell streets. This property has now passeaMnto the hands of the heirs, and, In order to give it a value, they contem plate opening this street. It Is also con sidered probable that some of the other streets, may be opened through this tract. It is an Isolated tract, and cannot be1 placed an the market unless these streets are. opened. Between-Milwaukle and East Eighteenth, for seven blocks, there Is no street intersecting Powell from the north. East Side Notes. C. W. Davis has purchased the Ladru Royal propet ty at Mount Tabor. The elevated roadway on Belmont, be tween East Eighth and East Ninth streets, is being provided with a new decking. New engines and boilers are being In stalled in the East Side saw mill on East Water street, and will greatly Increase the power. Sunnyside people have again asked for the services of a policeman to suppress troublesome youngsters. - A resident living on East Morrison street, at Sunnyside, says the boys are making the nights hideous with their noise. Preparations are being made at the Williams-avenue school for an entertainment In the assembly hail Friday afternoon at 130, to pay for the flag recently re ceived from the East. Rev. H. W. Kel logg "'.will deliver an Illustrated lecture on "Our Country." Edward Renfer yesterday received some quartz from. Cheney Creek, on the Mount Hood road, which assays $27 in silver, ?26 in lead ' and $4 in gold. It is from the MelnlgVBros. This is a new find and only a few feet below the surface.

Newspaper writers have a time of it to get the right kind of food to nourish them, fine of this profession who writes for a Boston paper says: "From the first Grape-Nuts Food worked like a charm. My stomach had been falling to digest ordinary food, and my nerves were com pletely unstrung. I was about to give up wprk while preparing a series of ar ticles for the press, but by a stroke of good fortune they began to feed me on Grape-Nuts. My strength .gradually re turned, nerves became steadier day by day, and I soon found I could do more office work with greater ease than ever before. "There came to me that feeling of buoy ant health and satisfaction with my work and satisfaction with myself. In short, L felt that life was worth living, and that I was 'girdled up like a strong man for a race.' , "In my opinion, Grape-Nuts Is theone perfect article of food invaluable alike for those that are sick and those that are well." W. S. GIdley, author of "Happy-Go-Lucky Papers," "The Landlord's Story," etc. it Is a fact that Grape-Nuts Food does supply the brain and nerve centers with the elements necessary 'to rebuild, nour ish and maintain. That brings health, strength, happiness and the feeling of buoyancy Mr. GIdley speaks of. but nearly so They can bemadeiip in either, gold filied for $ot solid gold $$, or nickel trimmings for $2.r;o.

Control' of the Road Passes to the Portland City & Oregon Service-by Jnly 1. Residents of Mount Scott" district are elated at the assurance that by July 1 the Portland & -Mount Scott Railway, between Hawthorne"- avenue and Lent's Postoffice will be running ias an electri fied branch of the-Portland City-& Ore gon Railway Company. - The announce ment that this would be done was made last evening by. F. S. Morris, secretary of the company, formerly known as the East Side Railway Company. Mr. Morris said: "The report Is true that the Portland City & Oregon Rail way Company will operate the Portland & Mount Scotf Railway,, in. the future. The road will be. thoroughly overhauled and repaired. New ties will be put in and the road will be reballasted. By July 1 it will be electrified and in oper ation. When the operation, of the road was suspended, four months ago, the direct cause was the had - condition in which xthe road had' fallen. The .agree ment under which the road was operated by our company was' also unsatisfactory. It was for, a term of years, and there was no . assurance 'that 'at .the end of that ..tims either a new arrangement could be effected, or the ownership of the road obtained. ' "Under the new." agreement that has been made, to which the receiver of "the road Is a party,- the Portland City & Oregon Railway Company .obtains the ownership of the road,' and the property owners and 'stockholders of the Mount Scott line have raised between $1500 and $2000. .with which all the old, indebtedness of the line will be cleared up." The -road was planned andxbullt by the property-owners of Mourit Scott t district, who were anxious to secure good railway service to Portland. When finished, the road was leased to the East 'Side Rail way Company to be operated for a term of years. The residents of that section have suffered great inconvenience since the car service was stopped early In the year. Property has advanced In that region and this was undoubtedly the main reason for the .new arrangement, which has the support. and approval of the leading property-owners of ' Mount Scott. j BUSINESS ITEMS.
