University J jtbtk, peninsula addition, and the .country round about, which only a few years ago was covered with a dense forest. Is now stripped of timber and residents of that section have to procure wood from "Van couver and pay U a cord for it. Good fir wood Is now selling for $4 per cord In Portland, and is not plenty at that price, which Is probably the highest ever paid iere for flr wood. The School Board re cently advertised for proposals for fur nishing wood for the public schools of this city, and so far have received only two bids, one from a man who proposes to supply some of the schools with flr wood, and the other from the slabwood trust, which proposes to furnish all the school? with slabwood. Many of the schools used slabwood last year, and got along very well, and many of the large office build ings and power plants in the city are -using slabwood or sawdust for fuel. Cord wood appears to lave suddenly become a scarce article here, while slabwood is accumulating in piles of thousands of cords, and it begins to look as if the slabwood trust has a good thing. It has a market open for large quantities of slab wood outside of Portland, and seems like ly to gain entire control of the market here. Of course, there is a great differ ence In slabwood, but the best, from large trees, answers the purpose of cordwood very well. "While the teamsters and the slabwood trust have been quarreling, the slabwood has been piling up and getting dry, and as no one appears to be making cordwood, and the Summer days are pass ing by, and Winter Is coming, there will soon be a great demand for slabwood. It is about time some one had discovered good coal handy to town. Mail Rocte Re-established. Througn the efforts of "Williams, "Wood &. Llnthl cum, attorneys and agents of the "Willam ette Valley & Cascade Mountain "Wagon Road Company, aided by Senator Simon and Representative Moody, the mall route from -Garrison, on the Santlam River, to Sisters postoffice, in Crook County, has been re-established and a contract ha& been let to "William E. Claypool. of Sis ters, to carry the raall from. June 1 to November 20 for this and the next year. The amount of mail carried over this short route Is surprising In the Summer time. Many hundred people camp at Fish Lake and .along the line nf the road. For some reason not known, the route was abandoned two years ago, and great com plaint has existed ever since. Its re;es tabllshment will be of great benefit to a large number of people, especially tourists and campers. It has been arranged to have mall boxes distributed along the route at convenient points. Pat for Firemen. City Treasurer "Werledn has funds on hand to pay the salaries of the Fire Department for the month of April. The salaries of the per manent men will be handed to Chief Campbell this morning for distribution, and Mr. Werlein will be pleased to have the extramen call at his, office this after noon and receive what is due them. He has also money on hand to pay the po licemen who have not yet received their April salaries. This is the nearest the city has come to being square with the Police and Fire Departments for some time. Mr. "Werelln hopes to have money on hand by the middle of June to pay both departments their salaries for May, but he cannot be certain of this, as tax payers are not paying in so fast as they might. Status op the Salmon Trust. Onff roy's proposed salmon combine undoubted ly lnoludes a number of canneries on Pu get Sound and in Alaska, and to this extent is a fixture. For the present noth ing more will be done with the Alaska Packers' Association, but negotiations will be resumed later. It is understood that the association "has asked $12,000,ooo for its plants In Alaska, and that Mr. Onffroy's highest offer was 59,000,000. Mr. Onffroy Is now negotiating with the Columbia Riv er combine for the'few canneries which It owns in Oregon and "Washington. T. B. McGovern, who came 'West with Mr. Onffroy, and who is one of the promoters of the big combine, is a big gun in the Columbia River combine. "Wanted in Spokane. B. O. Pile, of Spokane, was arrested at the Terminal depot last night by Detectives Day and "Weiner, as he alighted from a train, on telegraphic Instructions from Sheriff Doust, of Spokane, and was locked up at the City Jail. The telegraph message did not mention the charge against Pile, but inquiry from Spokane elicited the statement that Pile's roommate alleges petty larceny, and that Pile took some of his friend's wearing apparel. Pile is about 28 years old, and Is a well dressed man. Car op Exhibits for Buffalo. A car containing pine needle manufactures from Grant's Pass, fossils from the John Day Valley, a big white pine log from Eastern Oregon, and an assortment of ore, wool and prunes, was shipped to Buffalo yes terday to be. added to the Oregon exhibit Fresh fruit will be forwarded to Buffalo early next month, and at regular Inter vals until the close of the season. Saved Herself. A young woman rid ing a bicycle across Washington street, at Fourth, "yesterday morning, was caught 'between a street-car and a baker's wagon and would have been badly injured had she not sprang off her wheel and clung to the handrail of the car. She escaped Injury, but the bicycle was wrecked. She would not tell her name, and none of the bystanders knew who she was. Members Hunt Club, Attention!

Ha denfeldt, a London merchant who resided In Calcutta for many years, engaged In the jute bag business, and who still main tains a branch house there, was in the city yesterday. He has to take, a run out to Calcutta every few years to keep in touch with the jute business there,-and on this occasion returned -via China and Japan In order to have a look at the Northwest. Mr. Hadenfeldt says the pros pects are that grain sacks will be higher next year than they are now, as prices are sttrf in Calcutta and the tendency la up ward. One object of his coming here "was to see a. son who is farming or stock raising In Idaho. He received a letter from him on arriving here, dated at Port hill. Idaho, and was requested to an nounce his arrival by telegraph. When he went to a telegraph office he was told that no such place was known of here, and that certainly there was no telegraph office there. He insisted that there must be one there, and after diligent search it was found that there was, and the dis patch was- sent. He was also told that, there was no postoffice at Porthill, but he produced his son's letter, plainly marked Porthill, and that settled it. He thinks It rather remarkable that he had to come all the way around the world lb Portland to Inform people here that there is. a place named Porthill in Idaho, and that It has a postofHce and telegraph office. Porthill Is in Kootenai County, and Its postoffice used to be at Bonner's Fer ry. Its hanking town Is Spokane. To Develop Harney County. A project is on foot for the development of Har ney County. This county is practically half .swamp and half desert, one part t having too much water and the other not enough, but if the water supply coma b equally divided the whole would be very productive. To bring about this de sirable condition of things, the Harney Valley Irrigation Company has been In corporated. William Henley, of Burns; Judge Webster and D. P. O'Reilly and oth ers are the incorporators. They propose to construct a system of reservoirs and ditches by means of which the surplus water of Sylvles River can be utilized for irrigating the arid lands of the val ley. This will lead to the speedy settling up of the valley, and. eventually to the building of railroads Into that region which may in a few years become instead of a desert one of the most fertile and productive sections of the state. Spanish-American Memorial Services. Memorial services for soldiers who fell in the Spanish-American War will be held for the first time in Portland at Cal vary Presbyterian Church, Eleventh and Clay streets, at 7:30 tomorrow evening.

Reports from the lower river yesterday morning were to the effect that the run of salmon is improving. At the seining ground opposite Pillar Rock Chris Henry on Tuesday caught 1S00 pounds of salmon, and about four tons of shad. Something over half these shad, the largest, were sent to this city and the remainder were "thrown overboard." This may seem to some like wasting the gifts of providence, but there are more shad now than there is any use for. Some one should start an oil and guano factory to use up the surplus shad. Barbers May Call on Bobses. Indica tions are that there will be developments today in the dispute between the boss barbers and the Journeymen's Union. No official announcement was made yesterday by either side, but in the course of the afternoon a desire arose on the part of the employes to obtain an expression of the bosses' intentions as to what they propose to do, and then hold another meet ing this week. It is probable that a com mittee from the Journeymen's Union will visit the boss barbers today. Will Try for Mail Contract.

The ownership of a $50 .bay horse was the bone of contention in a case heard yesterday in the Municipal Court, when R. C. Grossman, of KHlgaver, was ac cused of the larceny of a horse, on the complaint of Fred Noumacker, a neighbor of Gossman's. The surprise in the case was the evidence of one witness, George Ludwlg, who testified that Gossman asked him to poison the stolen horse after the animal had been sold to one Joseph La ma to, of Willamette Heights. Noumacker testified that he missed his bay horse May 12. and that he afterward met Gossman In this city and asked him about the matter. Gossman asked and obtained 51, and told witness that the horse was at Damato's "ranch. Witness then obtained the horse. George Ludwlg testified that Gossman asked -him to sell the bay horse, and gave him the names of those probable purchasers, Instructing him to try and exchange the horse for another one. Wit ness was to get any money the purchaser might pay. extra, for his trouble. Wit ness saw Lamato and exchanged the bay horse for another horse and $7 50, He told Gossman, and the latter said; "Good. I want you to plant the bay horse. Give him strychnine, and then nobody can telL where he came from. We have the other horse." Lamato testified that he exchanged horses with Ludwlg and paid $7 50, but had no idea that the bay horse was stolen. The case was continued until today. CHIEF DEPUTY CITY ENGINEER A. M.

The Young Women's Christian Associa tion is rapidly becoming a strong and en during force- in the community. During the month of May, 122 new members were, added, making the total number elected to membership 561. The noon lunch Is a great success, having an average attend ance of 95 of 106 since it was opened, a short time ago. About 25 of these bring their own luncheons In baskets, finding there a pleasant and homelike place spe cially adapted to their needs. The exper iment was tried of having a Saturday night supper for such as find It necessary to continue their work In the depart ment stores or elsewhere in the evening. But as there was n6t a large enough at tendance to warrant a continuance of this plan, only about 25 coming, it will probably be discontinued. Another practical feature of the asso ciation's work Is the fresh new bathroom With porcelain tub and all the conven ience.!, soap, rowels, etc. At any time between 9 A. M. and 10 P. M., the use of this is given to members for the small sum of 5 cents a bath. The cla8Swork Is progressing- admirably. Two Bible classes have been In existence eight weeks, Miss Margaret Smith, of the Portland Academy being In charge of one ,and Mrs. M. L. Drlggs tri charge of the other. The attendance has been re markably good, and unusual interest man ifested in the lessons, owing to the fact that the work of the teachers has been of a high character, above the average for such study. The song service at 3:30 Sundays is also well-sustained. The Physical culture class was to have closed Monday night, but, owing to a practically unanimous wish on the part of those in attendance, the work will be continued one month longer.
