terial and In such places as the City En
gineer shall direct, and according to plans

City Engineer and shall be constructed
to the satisfaction of the City Engineer
and the Board of Public Works.
An ordinance was also passed authoriz
ing the County Commissioners to con
struct a bicycle path on East Eleventh
and Milwaukee streets. The object of
these paths Is to keep bicyclists off the
sidewalks.
In this connection it .may be said that
W. W Alverson presented a communlcai
tiort stating, that his boy had been
knocked ddwn three times lately by bi
cycles, and he asked that bicyclists be
obliged 'to carry a bell. He added that
a messenger boy who knocked down his
child," when asked why he did not ring
hls""bel. said he did not ha-j"e to.
Merrill said there was an ordinance
providing that bicyclists must earry
bells, -but there was no provision com
pelling them to use the bell. The matter
was referred to the street committee.
Regulating Payment of Money.
A xather voluminous ordinance regulat
ing the mode of expenditure of public
money and the presentation of claims,
which was laid over at the previous meet
ing, was taken from the table, put on
its final passage, and passed by the votes
of all the members present 9.
The ordinance provides that before any
warrants are drawn jn payment of salaries
or labor the payrolls therefor shall be
certified by the heads of the respective
departments -to the effect that the serv
ices have been performed for the city
and that the payrolls are correct. The
payrolls are then to be audited by the
Auditor, and. If not approved, shall be
returned to the departments from which
they came, and if any changes are-made
therein, shall again be submitted for ap
proval -to the proper committee or the
Board of Public Works.
Th" other provisions of the ordinance
are In the -same line, and while there te
nothing wrong about them, it was, re
marked that there was nothing In them
but what any careful and prudent city
official would see was done If there were
no. such ordinance.' Mayor Rowe Is not
convinced of the necessity for such a
-voluminous ordinance on this subject, and
Intimated that he would probably ve,to it.
i Abating a Nnlsnnce.
An qrdjnance declaring It a nuisance
to "maintain and operate a steam laundry
within the limits -of block 1G7, laid on the
table at a previous meeting, was taken
up "and passed. The smoke and cinders
from- a' laundry on block 167, west of the
City Hall, have caused much complaint,
and this ordinance was passed to abate
the alleged nuisance.
An ordinance appropriating $300 out of
the general .fund to provide for the ex
pense of constructing a hospital for con
tagious diseases, and authorizing tho
committee on health and police to con
struct? said hospital, was, .passed. '

committee.
An engrossed ordinance authorizing the
City & Suburban Railway Company to
make certain repairs on Williams avenue
was put on its final passage and failed
i to pass by noes 7, ayes 2.

each side of it.

not a rummage sale, the petition was

cocoons, etc
DECAY WORSE THAN WEAR
Why Wood Block Pavement on
Fourth Street Is so Bod.
Fourth-street proptrey-owners are be
ginning to talk about repavlng that
thoroughfare with new fve-Inch blocks,
and many of them look upon the project
with favor, though they are waiting for
someone to lead off in the matter, so as
to place It before the City Council.
Fourth street was paved with wood
blocks In 1SS6 from Jefferson to GUsan
street, but these have decayed iri such
a way as to make pretty rough driving
or wheeling by this time. That portion
taken care of by the Southern Pacific
Company has been replankcd several
times since 1S96, and as the railroad sec
tion Is, kept up better, all travel affects
the middle of the street, thus subjecting
the railroad portion to more than Its
share of wear and tear.
The blocks which have been torn up
of late where sewer repairs were needed
prove to be decayed their entire length,
though that portion resting on the sand
cushion has suffered more than that
exposed to the atmosphere and wear.
Where blocks have thus rotted at the
bottom, the tops have been driven down
beloV the general grade, and the street
therefore has become full of holes. The
result of five years' wear shows that this
kind of pavement suffers more from de
cay than from the traffic It Is subjected
to, though that has been very heavy
north of "Yamhill street South of that
point the pavement is not so rough.
SANDY ROAD BIKE PATH.
Petition Presented to the t County
Commissioners Road Mntters.
A petition signed by 60 persons for a
bicycle path on the Sanely road from East
Sixteenth street to Troutdale was pre
sented to the County Commissioners yes
terday. It was reported upon favorably
by Roadmaster Steele. The matter was
taken under advisement.
Sandy road Is one of the principal thor
oughfares of the county, and Is the only
main road In the county on which there
is no path
In the, matter of the petition of A C.
Wlhlon and others for .a county road,
viewers were appointed.
Jennie A. Stephens filed a protest as to
the location of the Carlsdn road from the
center of the Powell's Valley road north
to the intersection of the Lusted road? and
asks for damages, alleging that her prop-'
erty will be Injured $1125 by reasomof the
change In the road. Final action was de
ferred. The viewers filed a report.
Complaint was made that telephone
poles -along the Section Line road .near
Division street are being placed "in the.
gutter, where they will interfere when It
Is desired to work on bicycle paths. Road
master Steele was Instructed to see that
the poles are differently placed.

I have not even read this man's fetters

OREGON KING CONTEST
TRIAI, OF CASE" COMMENCES" IN
- FEDERAL COURT.
Each. Side Acchbpi the Other of.
"Claim jRBplBg"-Many Wit
nesses Are la Attendance.
The suit over the ownership of the
Oregon King mine, in Crook County, was
commenced before Judge Bellinger and a
jury in the Federal Court yesterday af
ternoon. , The principal plaintiff in the
suit 1 .Thomas W. Brown, of Roseburg,
who . alleges that he first located the
mine In March, 1S97, and that he subse
quently re-located It In 1&99. His con
tention is that the Oregon King Mining
Company, which js now In possession
of the mine, jumped his claim after he
had complied with every requirement of
law relative to deyelopment work, etc.
That part of Brown's complaint rela
tive to the first location was striken out
by Judge Bellinger, on 'demurrer, and
Brown Is thus compelled to make his
fight solely on the validity of his subse
quent re-Iocatlon.
The contention of the defense Is that
Brown's location was Invalid for a va
riety of reasons, and that he had aban
doned the claim. The name of Columbus
Friend was joined with that of Brown
in the location, and the defense asserts
that Friend freely gave his consent to
the re-locatlon, and that Brown never
came forward to assert his rights until
he had become convinced, that the mine
was a piylng property. This was after
the defendant company had spent $40,
000 in developing It, according to the
statement made by the attorneys for
that side yesterday.
About 40 witnesses have been sub
penaed, and the,, trial will take several
days. The plaintiff Is represented by
Dolph, Mallory, Simon & Gearln, H. M.
Rlddell and Albert Abraham, while Wil
liam H. Wilson, of The Dalles and R.
E. Moody and J. M. Long, of Portland
appear for the defendant corporation.
Plaintiff Brown was on the witness
stand most of the afternoon yesterday,
and his testimony followed closely on
the -lines laid down by Mr. Abraham In
his opening statement of the case to. the
Jury.
THIRD VENIRE NECESSARY.
Continued Scarcity in Mnltnomnli of
Timber for Jurors.
Another special venire for persons to
serye as Jurors in the State Circuit Court
was Issued yesterday as follows:

This makes a total of 83 taxpayers
drawn from the jury list this term of
court tp act as Jurors. The first list con
tained 43 names and most of the men
asked to be excused for various business
reasons, and the request was granted.
Of the next list of 25 some were not
served and some were excused, and about
20 altogether remained besides the grand
jury. As it Is desired to keep more than
one department running In the trial of
Jury cases and get through with them as
soon as possible. It was necessary to Is
sue a third call for jurors.
Suit for Accident Insurance.
In the suit of L. R. Spauldlng against
the Masonic Fraternal Accident Associa
tion Judge Frazer yesterday rendered a
decision on a motion to strike out parts
of the .reply, Spauldlng sues for $300, al
leging in his complaint that he was a
member of the association for, two years,
and on November 5, 1900, fell from a
ladder, resulting In his shoulder being
dislocated and fractured and his wrist
sprained. He avers that he was disa
bled for 12. weeks, during which, time he
was entitled to receive $25 per' week, or
a total of $300, which the society refused
to pay. '
The answer sets forth that It was the
duty of Spauldlng to send notice concern
ing his Injuries to the office of the asso
ciation a.t Westfleld, Mass., within 10
days, with prqof, and that he did not do
jjo until November 19. Because of this
failure It Is asserted-his certificate be
came null and void.
In his reply Spauldlng denies having
assented to the clause in the certificate
requiring notice within 10 days, or that
he knew of any such condition. He states
that he applied to Dr. Coe for informa
tion and Dr. Cce told him he had- re
signed as physician of the association,
and directed him to see Dr. Tucker. Tlit
latter gentleman, he avers, Instructed
him to write to the office in Massachu
setts for a blank. Spauldlng alleges that
he then wrote a letter for a blank and
received one, which he filled out. Because
the society recognized his letter and sent
him the blank, he says the society Is es
topped from claiming that he reported
the accident ard Injuries a the later
date, and that his certificate therefore
lapsed and Derame worthless.
Judge Frazer allowed the motion to
sti Ike. out this latter part of the "reply,
anil denied the motion to strike out the
part regarding the visit to the physi
cians' offices, etc.

' OBSTRUCTED BY POLES.
O. R. & N. Sidetrack on East Second
Cannot Be Built Now.
Construction on the sidetrack from the
O. R." & ,N. Co.'s spur on East Second
street to the big warehouse of Page &
Son, on East Second, between East Stark
and East Washington streets, continues
to be blocked by six poles and about 200
wires of the Oregon Telephone Com
pany. It was Intended to build the sldt
track on the west side of East Second
street from East Oak, and the plledriver
was placed in position at East Oak. A
raft of piles Is In the river. Work can
not proceed on account of the poles on
the same side of the street, which carry
about 2p telephone wires. The telephone
company has shown no disposition to
move the poles with the wires, and of
course the sidetrack cannot be built until
they are out of the way. The owners
of the warehouse, which is to be a meat
packing-house, are very anxious to have
the sidetrack, as is also W. E. Spicer,
who owns the warehouse west of the
-Page building, and who does a shipping
business. As both the telephone company
and the railway company have a right to
the use of the street for their pbles and
tracks, the outcome is problematical, and
the matter will probably get Into court
It was remarked yesterday that the City
Council might be asked to take a hand.
The sidetrack Is wanted very badly by
the warehouses. They cannot do business
without It.

FINE BIRDS DEAD LOSS
PHEASANTS SHIPPED 'FR03I ASIA
BY JUDGE DENNY.
Inland on PnBTet Sonnd to Which
They Were Sent Became a Pub
lic' Shooting? Ground.
Mrs. O. N. Henny suggests that some
steps be taken by sportsmen to stock
Oregon with the golden, silver, copper,
green and Tragoman pheasants, which
were shipped from China and Japan to
Portland by her husband, tha late O. N.
Denny, In 1S84. The birds came consigned
to the old Multnomah Rod and Gun Club,
which sent them to Protection Island,
Puget Sound, to tide them over a hard
Winter. It was the Intention to bring I
the birds back to Oregon in 1SS5 and turn 1
them loose, but the club went to pieces I
before anything could be done. It is !
not known whether any of the birds are
left on Puget Sound, as the owner of
the island turned It into a shooting park
for hire, and sundry sportsmen of Seattle,
Tacoma," Otympia. "Victoria, Port Town
send and other cities enjoyed for a time
a high grade of sport that Is not offered
this -side of Asia. Mrs. Denny says that
Millard O. Townsend, of La Fayette, in-
troauced several of the birds into Ore-'
gon and liberated them In Yamhill
County. These are said to be doing ,
well.
Judge Denny went to an expense of
several hundred dollars to collect the
birds In China and Japan. Frank T. !
Dodge, "Who was prominently Identified
with the Rod and Gun Club when the '
consignment arrived here, thinks there
were about 13 varieties, compo&Ing 150 I
birds. Of these 90 were ringnecks apd 1
the remainder were divided up, being i
principally golden, silver, copper, green
and Tragoman. The Winter of 1884-5 was
one of the hardest In the history of
Portland. The birds reached here weak I
and In poor condition, and. it was deemed
Imprudent to turn them loose. The Rod
and Gun Club' therefore Tented a 'room
50x100 feet, fixed It urf with -fir trees and
Irush, covered the floor with sand and
hired a caretaker The 4irds thrived for
awhile, but disease appeared among them
and they began dying.
At thta time Mr. Dodge, who was su
perintendent of the river and Sound di
vision of the O. R. & N. Co.. suggested!
that the birds be temporarily set at large
on Protection Island, and offered trans
portation for the birds and a commit
tee of-the club. The offer was -accepted J
and the sole settler on the Island was
paid $25 a month to give the birds the J
freedom of his estate. Protection Island 1
Is an Ideal place of refuge for strange
birds. It comprises about 700 acres and
Is in the Straits of Fuca, northwest of
Port Townsend and about four miles
from the nearest land. It Is free from
vermin, hawks, owls and other enemies of
btfds, and the climate Is mild.
The Intention of the Rod and Gun Club
was to stock"Oregon wlh the birds after
they had hatched in 1895. It was thought
that as many as were necessary could be
caught with nets. Toward the close of
18S5 the Rod and Gun Club disbanded,
and as a matter of course the monthly
remittance of $25 to the owner of the
Island ceased. The owner sent numer
ous duns to Portland, In which he said
that unless he was paid he would claim
the birds as his own.' Subsequently he
mailed two notices that the birds were
no longer the property of the Rod and
Gun Club and that jhey were his for
the amount due him for services. Finally
one day came a letter from the settler
saying that the birds had Increased In
such great numbers that they had de
stroyed his crops, eating not only that
which crew above the ground, but tur
nips, parsnips, carrots and other sub- j
sunace croii". nc uuucu umi uc nuum
write his friends to hunt the pheasants,
and rent shooting privileges to all who
had the price. The result was that Pro
tection Island was frequented by the
sportsmen of the British Columbia and
Puget Sound cities and the officers of
the revenue cutters. In a short time the
number of birds diminished. Afterwards j
the island was sold to a Seatt;e rod and
gun club.
It Is believed that nothing can be done
to carry out Mrs. Denny's request. The
Rod and Gun Club, to which the birds
were consigned, has forfeited all rights
of ownership it ever possessed, the set
tler has sold Protection Island and every
thing over It and under It and the birds,
or the majority of them, have-forfeited
their lives to gratify the sporting pro
clivities of a iot of alleged AVashington
and British Columbia sportsmen. Prob
ably It may be well for the sportsmen
of Oregon and Portland to communicate
with the present owners of Protection
Island to see' If anything can be done.

Right Food (Grape-Nuts) Does Not
Generate It.
Schoolma'ams have troubles of . their
own.' Their work Is of a nerve destroy
ing character and frequently the question
of food Is a serious' one with them.
The right selection of food will cure
dyspepsia and many other disorders of
the body.
Sadie Cromer, 191 Olney avenue, Marion,
O., says -that after she had suffered from
stomach trouble for years and without
being able to find food that would agrco
with her, she finally was Induced to try
Grape-Nuts. The trouble with gas and
nervousness coming from Indigestion,
disappeared, and her own testimony says,
T gained In flesh so much that now 1
am heavier and better than I have ever
been during the eight years I have taught
school here.
"My stomach does not cause me the
least tr,oubJe. I can eat anything I wish,
but- still continue to eat GraperNuta
.Foodfor I like It and know of Its value."
