PROFIT IN SHOES.
Western Men Who Make Biff Sales
la the South Seas.
The roTTinrlrnhlp ernanslnn In trade
which the ports of the Pacific Coast have
recently been acquiring has been prolific
of many scnemes or traae wnicn nave
Khnwn thp adaptability of the California
.to Yankee tactics. The latest of these
ventures ccmes from Carl Julius rie
buhr, formerly a -resident of Oakland.
A short time after the Spanish-American
War, Mr. NIebuhr, who was touring
in tho South Seas, hanoened to land with
a party of friends on the Island of Tahiti.
They were greeted by the natives, many
of whom had never seen a -white man
and" took a great Interest in them. The
wearing apparel of the whites attracted
the attention of the aborigines, but their
shoes filled them with wonder. They
could not understand how they were worn
and hbw the whites could travel where
they could not, simply because they wore
shoes. To satisfy one of the most Inquisi
tive of the natives, one of Mr. Nlebuhr's
party gave him a pair of shoes. The ef
fect was wonderful to behold. The man
put them on after several fruitless at
tempts, and strode about the Island, the
cock of the walk. They hurt him horri
bly, as was plain to be seen, but he wore
them regardless of pain. To these na
tlvs those' shoes were actually the great
est things on earth. It was then that Mr.
NIebuhr became possessed of the Idea of
shipping shoes to the natives and receiv
ing In trade many things of value which
they might have.
Upon returning to Oakland he bought
up shoes of all kinds and descriptions,
and shipped them on the steamer Aus
tralia, which was the first large steamer
that ever landed at Tahiti. When the na
tives found that they were to have shoes
and could purchase them for the common
things which they had on the island,
they became wild with joy. The man who
had the first pair of shoes was lost sight
of, as his shoes did not compare with the
fine new ones which Mr. NIebuhr had
brought. The articles sold without a
stop, and by the time Mr. NIebuhr boarded
the Australia he was a richer man. Oak

SPITTING IS LIMITED.
Reform Han Strucli the Municipal
Courtroom. .
Grime and dust have been banished for
the present from the Municipal Court, and
the place Is now a thing of beauty, with
green walls, .white celling, painted -woodwork,
linoleum covering the floor and
cuspidors.
Yesterday Jailer Roberts took the floor,
just before the session of court began,
and said: "A-hem, Gentlemen: Now that
this courtroom has been renovated, notice
is hereby given that expectorating on
the floor and smoking ,wlll not be permit
ted here. That Is the order of the court,
and It will be rigidly enforced."
Regular rooters who haunt the court
room at every session turned pale, and
-whispered to each other In a mournful
sort of way. For years past these root
ers have occupied matinee seats in the
courtroom, and every day brings them
rain or shine. What they do for a 11 lng
no man knows. One of the chief amuse
ments of these veteran rooters is to grin,
and spit- This latter art they have got
down pretty fine, and they can land a
stream of saliva Into a cuspidore 12 feet
away with facility and precision. Junior
rooters, however, who have attended the
court for only about a year or so, miss
the mark frequently, and start a Niagara
of their own. This Is what has caused
most of the trouble, and suggestions have
been made that the courtroom be equipped
with lifebelts, but this has been over
ruled on the ground of expense. The
court has decided that the cheaper way
will be to excommunicate expectorators.
Meanwhile the rooters wonder If the ses
sions of the court will be worth attending
any more.

ODD FELLOWS' HOME
FIRST STEPS TOWARD MAKING IT
PRACTICAL.
Rebeh-ah Lodges "Will Undertake the
Work of Famishing, the Baild-
ln'gr East Side Kem.
Practically the same board of trustees
was continued in charge of 'the Odd Fel
lows' Home, now located in the Riley
property, near Kenllworth. The board is
empowered to put the building on the
ground in condition for use and to hire a
matron and man to take care of the in
stitution. Steps will be taken very, soon
to repair the building at a cost of about
$3)0, and proceed with furnishing the
rooms. All these things have to be done
before the purposes of the institution can
be carried out. The most Important mat
ter will be the furnishing of the rooms.
The Rebekah lodges are expected to un
dertake this work, and several Portland
lodges have been accumulating . a fund
fnf bo nnrnnfic. Pauline Cllne. nast erand
of the Rebekahs in the state, has pledged
herself to furnisn one room mrougnuui.
and donate a- horse and buggy to the
Home. This is regarded as an encourag
ing start in that direction. A business
meeting of the trustees win De neia-very
ennn -nrTripn Tirnvfsinn -will be made for
overhauling the building. The per cap
ita- tax on the memoersnip- or uau r
lows and Rebekahs. the former 25 and
the latter 10 cents, will furnish about ?1000
for maintaining the home. No action was
taken concerning the Cleone farm. -It is
in the hands of the trustees, who are
authorized to sell it. '
Baker City Hospitality.
The delegation from Portland lodges to
the grand session of the Grand Lodge of
Odd Fellows, at Baker City, has returned,
and all speak in highest terms of the
royal treatment they were accorded by
the people of that place. J. S. .Foss, of

Uses Boring 'Machines. (
J H Johnston, the boat builder, on
East Water and East Madison streets,
has Introduced an innovation in his ship
yard since constru6tion was begun on
the steamer for the Shaver Transportation
Company. It Is compressed air boring
and driving machines.- Compressed air
drilling machines are common and in gen
eral use in iron works, but not so In
Portland boatyards, these being the first
used here. There is. a triple engine, so
small and light that it may be held in
one hand, inclosed in aluminum boxing.
To this Is attached an auger, and the
holes are bored in he ship timbers in a
minute that by hand would require 10
minutes One of the machines can do the
work of a dozen men. Mr. Johnson has a
machine for boring a five-Inch hole. The
machine was used In boring holes through
the keejsons, a depth of over three feet.
Mr. Johnson said he would not say how
deep he had bored holes, as he would
not be believed. The compressed air ham
mer was used also for the first time in
driving the long bolts. The advantage Is
the speed and the holes may be bored
at any angle.

daughter, and lives at Oregon City.
To Escort the Veterans.
Sumner Post, G. A. R., and Sumner
Woman's Relief Corps will assemble to
decorate the graves of soldiers and hold
short services in Lone Fir cemetery
Thursday morning. An Invitation has

bers of the post and corps t othe ceme
tery. It Is expected that there will be a
general response to this invitation.
"Will Decorate Graves.
Gilbert Auxiliary Camp, No. 1, will have
charge of the decoration of the graves of
the Spanish-American War "Veterans in

requested to meet this evening at Central
Hall, East Morrison street and Union ave

be placed on all graves to be decorated
by the auxiliary camp, and a delegation
wll be selected at this meeting to do this
work.
East Side Notes.
Residents along Mllwaukle street south
of Powell have sent a remonstrance to
the City Council against the speed of the
street-cars going north, claiming that it
Is dangerous to life.
Mrs. Robert McLean, wife of Dr. Mc

TAHITIAN SUPERSTITIONS.
Ominous Portents That Make the
Royal Family Tremble.
None of the weird superstitions among
the Pacific islanders exercises so terri
fying an influence as that which attaches
to a mysterious cloud which once In. a,
great while hangs over the lofty, unsealed
mountain on the Island of Tahiti. This Is
watched for with great anxiety every
time the sky becomes very hazy. It forms
In a shape quite as Indefinite as that ,of
the cloud which Polonlus . thought was
"very like a- whale," but the people stand
gazing at it until-it either scatters or
dips and touches the mountain. If it
touches the mountain, consternation at
once spreads everywhere, for it is regard
ed as an unfailing sign of death, first
among the royal .family and then among
the common people. Whoever happens to
be sick Is given up for dead, and no one
is so utterly sure of death as the sick
person himself.
The appearance of red fishes in the
water a phenomenon that comes only
often enough to keep up Its deadly repu
tation Is regarded as an unfailing omen
of death among the royalty. - -
Other things connected with the heavens
that have direful significance to the na
tives are: The sudden appearance in the
sky of a taupaupon. 01; dog with flaming
eyes; a iiorse without any legs; a. man
riding horseback without any horse; a
gendarme chasing thieves who have fiery
eyes, '
The latter bogey becomes so vivid to the
Insular imagination at times that the
gendarme" seems to be locking the thieves
up in a prison which has neither inlet
nor outlet. It is viewed as a sort of omen
of the "unpardonable jsln."

Evans Divorce Case.
The hearing of the divorce suit of Flor
ence Evans against Dudley- Evans, be
fore Judge Sears, is dragging its, wean
length, yesterday being the fourth day'of

TO BUILD A HOUSEBOAT
NEW AQUATIC PLEASURE FOR
PORTLAND.
F. S. Morris Will Have a Floating
Summer Residence on 'the "Wil

F. S. Morris has let the contract to
Joseph Supple for the bunding of a Tiouse
boat, modeled in many respects after
those seen on the Hudson and other East
ern rivers, and construction has been
commenced at Supple's boatyard, on the
East Side. The general dimensions of
the barge, on which the nouse will stand,
are 55x25 feet at the decks and 45x18 at the
water lines, the difference In these fig
ures showing the overhang of the decks
lower and upper. Depth of the barge
wj... be four feet, and it will be thorough
ly timbered and braced. The lower deck
beams, supporting the floor, which will
have a crown, will be 4x6 and 4x4 feet,
alternating. Bulkheads will be provided
throughout.
The Inside measurements of the house
are 20x45x8, giving walks at the ends five
feet wide, and on the sides 2& feet wide.
The floor plans show seven rooms, one
large one. 21x20 feet, and six others, three
on each side of a hallway, 2.S wide, extend
ing through the after part of the house
and opening out on the causeway by means
of a sliding door. Fouc of these rooms
are 8.9x7, and two are 10x8.9. Sliding
doors open into all six ,from the hallway.
Sleeping bunks and whatever is necessary
to furnish comfort to guests are provided
In these apartments. "The larger room
will be for dining purposes. All the
apartments will be well lighted, and fur
nished with a view to convenience and
comfort.
On the upper deck, which will be cov
ered with heavy canvas, will be the
promenade and observatory. Thi3 deck
will be reached from below by means of
a stairway leading from the causeway.
The promenade will be 12x50 feet, and will
be surrounded by wire1 netting 33 inches
high", supported at-intervals by , posts
braced with Iron bars. It is designed
that the'' upper deck 'shallf be sheltered
with canvas and Illuminated ' at night.
Seats "will be placed on the 'deck, and
nothing will be omitted to . make the
houseboat complete from every point of
view for the enjoyment of Summer-pleas:-ure
parties. It may be towed by launch
to any place-In the river that the owner
may desire, where he may, with "music,
dancing and other amusements, entertain
his guests in the' open" air on the Wil
lamette River the long Summer evenings.
It will cost' about $1500, and Is '-the 'first
houseboat of the sort to be built at Port
land. Mr. Supple expects to have it
finished and launched early next month.
SPOKE TO LETTER-CARRIERS
General Superintendent, of the Free
Delivery Visltlngr 'Portland.
Hon. A. W. Maclien.general superinten
dent of .he free postal delivery system,
accompanied by J. W. Erwin, assistant
superintendent for the Pacific Coast, ar
rived here yesterday from. San 'Francisco.
Mr. Machen Is on a general tour of inspec
tion of the free delivery service in the
principal cities of the -Goast. It was the
mutual desire of , himself and the carriers
of the city that they should come together,
so arrangements were made for a meet
ing in the Postofflce building last, even
ing, which assumedvsome of the features
of a reception. The carriers decorated the
room with flags,' provided a string quar
tet and refreshments, and a bountifulsup
ply of roses. One of the flags used In
decorating the room was the large one
lately sent out to Postmaster Croasman
from Washington, and in unfolding it a
note was found stating that "it was the flag,
under which President McKlnley stood at
his last Inauguration. -
Mr. Machen was Introduced to the car
riers by Postmaster Croasman as the
head of the free delivery system, uvwhose
hands the Government has placed for-dls-bursement
this year $31,000,000. Mr. Machen
made a short but very effective address
to. the carriers, explaining the important
position they filled In the postal service
as the ones coming In closest touch with
the public. It-was Incumbent on-them to
make' their work as perfect as possible,
as on their efflclencythe reputation, of.the
nnstni sprviee larcrelv deDended. He
warned thenx against forming cliques or,
allowing themselves to De mnuencea Dy
any "shlps lawyer" who "might scome
among them, but to conform to the rules
and regulations of the department and
to conduct themselves so as to maintain
the credit of the service. He expressed a
very Mattering opinion of the letter car
riers of this Coast generally. He spoke of
the Improvement that had been made In
the conditions of the service by the en
forcement of civil service rules, as was
shown by the decrease In the number of
retirements for cause.
Assistant Superintendent Erwin made
a brief speech, stating that he had not
expected -to be called upon, as he was
one of us, being a Pacific Coast man.
John P. Clum, Postofflce Inspector, who
established the mail service in. Alaska,
gave a very Interesting account of the
wonderful -Improvement that had been
'made in the service there during the past
three years, and told how, by the aid of
two Oregon letter-carriers and their di
lapidated uniforms, he had established,
equipped and put in operation a free de
livery service at Nome in a few hours.
Several of the officials connected with the
postofflce here made brief speeches. Ex
cellent music -was interspersed between the
speeches, and a very enjoyable time was
spent by all present.
Superintendent Machen proceeds from
here to Tacoma and Seattle on his way
to Washington.

AT THE TENNIS NETS.
Quality of the Play Improving and
Matches -Getting Close.
As the .finals In the handicap tennis
tournament approach, the quality of play
improves and the matches becomej closer

of which probably was that between Mrs.
Baldwin, scratch, and Miss Senders, re
ceive 15 3. Mrs. Baldwin won, 6-4, 7-9, 6-1.
This places Mrs. Baldwin in the finals.
Another three-set match was that won

4-6 over Miss Booth and Mrs. Cook,
scratch, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3. Mrs. Baldwin and
Miss Goss will now meet Miss Carstens
and Miss Tyler In the finals. In the mixed
doubles, Goss and Miss Goss. from
scratch, defeated L. B. Wickersham and
Miss Carstens, 9-7, 6-4. The result was in
doubt until the last point. By winning
this match Goss and Miss Goss qualify
for the finals. The surprise of the day
was the defeat of Ladd and Cook by Lee
and Nunn, 6-3, 6-4. Dr. Nunn was un

Sledge Dogs.
National Review.
Apart from the great use that the sledge
dogs were to us for pulling purposes, they
made wonderful companions in the soli

the expedition I had presented to each
of the members a dog, and a great affec

dumb companions. Members often re

KNEW THE WAY OUT.
Made a Study of His Food.
It is not always that the user of food
understands about that food, but a gentle
man In Cincinnati writing about Grape
Nuts expresses himself perfectly.
He says: "A business. man .devoting him
self to hard mental labor, requires dif
ferent food than a man doing muscular
work. I became aware of a dull, heavy
feeling in my head day by day which
did an untold damage to my work. Ver
dict. Intestinal indigestion; punishment,
a severe diet list, leaving out starchy
foods, sugar and fat.
"Up to this time, with the most precise
care in cooking, the ordinary breakfast
food came to the table a pasty, starchy
mass. Added to that was sugar and
more or less white bread, which gave an
excess to starchy food that could not be
digested. This indigested mass passed
Into the Intestines, creating gas and all
of the distressing symptoms both of body
and brain.
"I was put on Grape-Nuts Food for the
reason that It 13 made of selected parts of
wheat and barley, thoroughly cooked at
the factory, giving to the body the starchy
part of food Cwhich Is necessary), pre
dlgested, that Is, turned Info dextrose or
grape sugar. This furnished the sweet
needed, without the use of cane sugar
and gave me the- starchy prinnlpJe of
food already passed into the second- con
dition. exaqtl-In the 'same mariner as a
"After eating Grape-Nuts for a short
time, I found a most remarxaDie improve
ment !n,my health,, and I also discovered
the reason why" the cla,Im made on the
package Is true, that one pound of Grape
Nuts, which is perfectly absorbed, by the
body, will afford more nutrition than ten
pounds of meat, wheat or bread. Imper
fectly digested. I can assure anyone
that a week or ten days' conscientious
use of Grape-Nuts will prove, far more
convincing testimony than any written
words. I subscribe myself a grateful
consumer. Please do not publish my
name." Anyone who wHl write to the
Ppstum Cereal Co., , Ltd., , Battlel Creek,
Mich., and enclose stamp, can be sup
