CITY NEWS IN BRIEF
An Absent-minded Expressman. Kip
ling has Immortalized the "Absent-Minded
Beggar," as found In the British Army,
which often gets him In positions -where
absence of body would be much better
than presence of mind, but Kipling never
tackled an absent-minded Portland ex
pressman. One of this species, -whose
name cannot be given, as this might in
jure his business, drove up to the Alder
street entrance of a market the other
day, rushed In hurriedly, purchased a
chicken to make broth for his sick wife,
and hurried out at the Fourth-street en
trance, to And his horse and -wagon gone.
As the horse never -would wander away
of himself, the expressman was certain
that his outfit had been stolen, so he at
once hastened to the police station to
lodge Information of the theft, and then
rushed to each of the different bridges
across the river and notified the bridge
tenders to keep a lookout for his etolen
horse and wagon- He then sauntered
around town for an hour or two on the
chance of running across his property
and the thief. Finally he came bajck to
the market and got his chicken, and re
counted his hard-luck tale to the mar
ket man. He was slightly jarred when
Informed that his outfit had been stand
ing on Alder street for four hours, and
that the police were searching for him,
as it was supposed ha had committed sui
cide. He leaped to the seat of his wagon
and vanished down the street like a
shooting star.
Museum Froo "Well. Cared For. The
several mentions made of the lonely con
dition of the city museum frog have
aroused widespread Interest In the ba
irachlan. Several communications con
taining suggestions for the comfort of
the animal have been received by The
Oregonlon. Some insist that the frog be
set at large, others urge that one or sev
eral more frogs be placed in the saucer
with it, and a woman asks that a large
jar of water be provided for it, with lad
ders for it to climb on, somettilng after
the style of a fire escape, probably- In
reply to all these friends of Froggy, It
imay bo said that he is well cared for and
regularly fed, and appears to be content.
He attracts much attention, so that his
'being allowed to go at large cannot be
.considered at present. Moreover, some
kind-hearted person has provided a com
panion for the frog. It is a very hand
some specimen, a trifle larger than the
old one, and blessed with a good appe
'tlte and digestion. When first discovered
he was shy and refused to eat the flies
offered to him, but it is an ancient say.
lng that hunger tames even the most fe
rocious animais, ana alter going witnout
files for a day or two the new arrival
came down off his perch, and out-jumped
the old one to get the flies. As files are
scarce, owing to the recent cool weather,
Mr. Hawkins found it difficult to secure
enough for one frog, and since the other
came he has had to rustle to catch files
for both.
Free Mail Delivert tor Pellwood.
The people of Sellwood have long been
desirous of getting free mall delivery, and
Postmaster Croasman has been doing all
in his power to secure this privilege for
them. His efforts have at last been
crowned with success, and he has ob
tained permission to consolidate the Sell
wood postoffice with the Portland post
office. On July 1 a station of the Portland
office will be opened there, to be known
as Sellwood station, with A. B. Hemstock
as the clerk in charge. The free delivery
of mall will be made by Charles T. Stem,
leln, a mounted carrier. Sellwood, with
free mall delivery, woolen mills, stove
foundry and the 1905 exposition In sight,
will soon be putting on airs of superior
ity. Portuand Sayings Bank's Final Divi
dend. Receiver Nixon, of the Portland
Savings Bank, will apply to the court this
week for authority, to pay the final divi
dend to the creditors of that institution.
This dividend is not at all likely to ex
ceed 4 per cent. As It will take about six
-weeks to finish paying this final dividend,
it will be about the middle of July before
all the depositors are made happy. The
courts adjourn from July 1 to September
1, so Receiver Nixon will not be able to
get his discharge until after the court
meets in September. The depositors, af
ter they have been paid all they ere to
get, will not worry themselves about
whether the receiver gets discharged or
not.
Crosbt Street to Bb Repaired. Or
ders have been Issued for the repair of
Crosby street, from Holladay avenue to
McMlllen street. This is the thoroughfare
that connects the steel bridge with the
improved McMUlen street. It furnishes
an outlet for all of Upper Alblna. The
property-owners Improved Crosby street
two years ago, but the Immense travel
has made repairs necessary. This Is the
street on which a six-foot bicycle path
is to be constructed. Work on the repair
of the street will be commenced at once,
and when it Is completed the bicycle path
will be taken In hand. This will be the
first busy street on which a bicycle path
is to be constructed.
Armort Needs a New Floor. The
County Commissioners are considering
the subject of flooring the drill hall at
the Armory. In consultation with City
Engineer Chase, they were advised to
put down a first-class asphalt floor. The
old floor, which is defective and broken
up in many places, was not of asphalt,
but was made with tar or some bitumi
nous product, mixed with gravel, the
wearing surface being very thin, and It
is a marvel that it has stood wear so
long as it has. The Commissioners have
v not decided to put down asphalt, but
probably will decide o do so, as Mr.
Chase strongly recommends it.
Graduated From McMinnvillb Cou.
S.EGE. Rev. A. L.. Black, pastor of Cal
vary Baptist Church, East Side, was
graduated from McMlnnvllle College last
week. He attended the college during the
year and served as pastor at the same

which will close August 1. He will then
leave for Rochester, N. T., where he will
complete his theological studies.

tiff for ?5000 damages. The plaintiff sued

Road Boundaries Not Adjusted. The
matter of definitely locating the bounda
ricr of the county road extending from
the St. Helens road to the pottery com
pany's property was to have been ar
ranged Saturday by the attorneys of the
Northern Pacific Railway Company and
the O. R. N. Co. and City Engineer
Chase, but as the attorneys F. P. Mays
and W. W. Cotton were not able to at
tend, the matter was postponed for a few
days. The road runs between the boat
yard of the O. R. & Tf. Co. and the right
of way of the Northern Pacific, and, while
open to travel, Is to some extent obstruct
ed by piles of slabwood, etc, and there Is
some doubt as to the exact location of
the roadway. The road Is a much-needed
one, and serves a large manufacturing
district adjacent to it. It has so far been
a county road, but will probably soon be
made a city street.
John Muir Visits Portland. John
Mulr, the well-known California explorer
and naturalist, or "mountain tramp," as
he calls himself, arrived on the steamer
Columbia from San Francisco Friday
evening, accompanied by his two daugh
ters and the artist, Keith. They made
the steamer their home while In Port
land, and left on it for San Francisco
last night. On Saturday they went up
the Columbia, and yesterday I. L Haw
kins accompanied them to points of in
terest around Portland, not forgetting the
city museum, where a two hours' stay
was made. Professor Mulr and Mr. Keith
were delighted with what they saw in the
museum. A run to Oregon City and a
view of the snow-capped peaks from
Portland Heights completed a pleasant
day.
Additional Electric Power. The
Portland General Electric Company la
getting six large new transformers Into
Its station at Alder and Seventh streets,
and they will be Installed as soon as pos
sible. These transformers have a capac
ity of 150 klllwats each, and just w'at
they could not kill with that power It Is
difficult to imagine. The company's steam
auxiliary power station, In the north part
of the city. Is well under way, the mass
ive foundations for the boilers, engines
and dynamos being completed. The build
ing will soon be run up around them, and
the generators sufficient to furnish 3200
horsepower of electricity are being
shipped from the shops in the East and
will be here by the time the building is
ready to receive them.

terested In the guild Is expected without
further invitation. The organization Js
strictly non-sectarian, and members of
every church, as well as members of none,

taken to the police station, yesterday, un
der the Influence of liquor, as he said he
had no home and no one to care for him.

TO CONTROL POLITICS. "
alius Brelim Says Prohibition la
Practicable, and Thnt Women
Should Settle the Question.
Prohibition of the liquor traffic and
the part which women voters play In
forcing the Issue was the central thought
of three addresses delivered yesterday by
Miss Marie Caroline Brehm, of Chicago,
National superintendent of franchise of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.
"The Light of the World" was the sub
ject of Miss Brehm's morning lecture at
Immanuel Baptist Church. In the after
noon she spoke before a large audience at
the First Baptist Church, the occasion
BENEFACTORS
JONATHAN CARVER,
Jonathan Carver, the noted American traveler, was the first , writer to mention
the name Oregon. This was in hla book, "Travels Through the Interior Parts of
North America," which was published in London in -1778. In 1763, Carver formed
a resolution to explore the interior of North America from Lake Superior to
the Pacific Ocean between the 43d and 4Cth parallels, between which lies the
greater part of the present State ot Oregon. Had he completed hla Journey he
must have met the Columbia River and proceeded along its course to th ocean.
He hoped to discover a northwest passage between Hudson's Bay and the Paclflc,
and thereby open a channel for conveying intelligence to China and the English
settlements In the East Indies with greater expedition than by the tedious voyage-
round the Cape of Good Hope or through the Straits of Magellan. In the Fall
of 17C0 he left Mlchllllmackinac, the most westerly of the British military posts,
having received from Its commander an assortment of goods to be distributed as
presents among the Indians along the route. It was also understood that other
goods should be sent to him at the Falls of St. Anthony. These failed to reach
him, and In the following Spring, having passed the Winter on the River St.
Pierre, 1400 miles west of his starting point, he was obliged to return to Prairie
du Chlen. He then made a new start for the purpose of discovering a connec
tion between the headwaters of the Mississippi and Lake Superior, and spent
some time on the northern and eastern shores of that lake, explorlnr its base
and tributaries and observing the natural products and habits of the Indians. He
returned to Boston in the Fall of 1768, having traveled nearly 7000 miles. Carver
died in abject poverty in London, J anuary 31, 1780. aged 48 years.
being a union rally of the members of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union for Multnomah County. Her text
was: "Receive, I pray thee, the law
from God's mouth, and lay up his words
in thy heart."
"I am glad to be In the beautiful City
of Portland and to meet so many of Its
people who have left the beauty of won
drous sky and sparkling sunshine to hear
a message," she said. "We are told that
about 45,000,000 people In this country go
to church; that about one-half of that
number are church members, and that
about 5.000,000 of these have the right to
walk up to the ballot-box and vote for
those who make our laws. No element,
then, is so well organized as the Chris
tian element, and what could It not do If
Its members all stood together? No grand
er work Is before It than the prohibi
tion of the liquor traffic, and one stumbling-block
In the way is our lack of ac
quaintance with God. He has his mes
sengers still, and one means of communi
cationprayer. God's way is the only
way his way Is perfect, and It means pro
hibition. God Is the original prohibition
ist. His commandments begin with no un
certain sound 'Thou shalt not.'
"Some men say that if we abolish the
liquor traffic we shall interfere with their
liberty as Individuals. If you sell stale
meat, for instance, you will be prose
cuted. Is that not Interfering with your
liberty? But suppose the law officers did
not prosecute those vho sold stale or
tainted meat, condemned as unfit for
human food? Suppose you sell stale
meat as Army rations? If you are not
prosecuted, what would happen? And
stale meat does not slay millions, as
liquor does. If I had the money spent for
liquor in this country In one year I could
build homes for the homeless, pension
all the drunkards on condition that they
leave off drinking, and build a stack of
money reaching from here to the moon,
and have something left over. On the
topmost dollar we could stand and Initi
ate the man of the moon as an honorary
member of the Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union.
"We are told that prohibition is imprac
ticable. Yet we have a Prohibition Dis
trict In Chicago, called Hyde Park,
12 square miles in extent. There
Is not one saloon In It. We have no
drunken men. Nobody Is sandbagged
there after dark. We have no policemen
eacept those who stand at the intersec
tion of streets and regulate traffic. Why
cannot you have this in Portland? We
are fighting to have existing laws against
the liquor traffic carried out in' other
parts of Chicago. But we have difficult
work convincing juries, when witnesses
hesitatingly testify that they forget what
they drank in such and such a saloon, and
ultimately guess that the liquid was cold
tea. In Chicago the law says that a
drunkard Is one who gets drunk twice
in one year."
In closing Miss Brehm said that the
one remedy is prohibition, and the voting
power extends to men and women alike.
Miss Brehm addressed a large congre
gation last night at the First Cumber
land Presbyterian Church, East Side.
She was Introduced by
Dr;.alt?n' ?
pastor, as a representative of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
which . he highly commended. She dis
cussed the liquor question in all Us
phases, and declared that the United
States Is the greatest partner in the
business. ,
Thnrmun-Street Bridge.
The work of redecklng the Willam
ette Heights bridge on Thurman
street Is proceeding rapidly. It forms
the only means of access to Wil
lamette Heights, where several fine
new houses are In course of erection. The
substructure of the bridge Is In fair con
dition, owing to the attention that has
Deen given it Dy tne Laty .engineers ae-
partment. The plan of constructing a
steel viaduct over the gulch has been
suggested by some of the large property
owners of that locality, but the present
bridge is not nearly worn out yet, and
City Engineer Chase believes that with
timber and steel at their present prices,
a wooden structure la the best as a busi
ness proposition, since the Interest on
the amount saved by using wood In place
of steel will maintain the wooden bridge
indefinitely, or so long as the present
relative prices of wood and steel prevail.
This is an Ideal location for a steel arch,
but nothing of the kind Is likely to be
built at this time.
PUBLIC SCHOOL YEAR CLOSING
Examination Will Be Finished and
Teachers Elected by Jane 26.
From now to June 26, when the public
schools close, will be busy days for teach
ers and pupils. The pupils are anxious
about passing the examinations, and the
teachers are anxious to see their names
on the list for next year, so tha,t they
OF OREGON.
--
may go on their vacations with light
hearts. It is not likely that there will be
many changes In the corps. It used to
be that a dozen or more were dropped
every year, but now It Is seldom that one
Is dropped. The new style Is to avoid
change, as much as possible, by using
extra exertion to bring those who are
weak on any point up to the mark of ex
cellence required, and thus avoid the
risk of employing new teachers who
might not prove so efficient as the old
ones. This has had a good effect on the
teachers, and, as they begin to feel rnorc
certain of their situations, they become
more cheerful and jolly, and more com
panionable and attractive, and so a larger
number of them get married every year.
Several of the present corps have failed
to apply for situations next year, from
which It may be safely Inferred that there
are some 10 or a dozen who Intend to
wed; consequently there will be about that
many vacancies to be filled. With the
exception of these, all the present corps
of some 300 teachers have applied to be
retained. Applications for situations con
tinue to be filed by outsiders, and those
now number about 300, so that there is a
fair prospect for one out of 30 of them
to secure situations. They are all ener
getic in their efforts to get employment,
and the majority of them Insist on Inter
viewing the superintendent, and every
member of the Board of Directors as well.
The board will hold Its "principals'
meeting" on June 21 or 22, at which the
principals of the various schools will ap
pear, one at a time, and report on their
corps of teachers. When this is over
with, It will be known just how many
vacancies there will be to fill, and they
will be filled at once, so that all appli
cants will be able to know on the 26th,
when the schools close, whether they have
been elected for next year or not.
School Clerk Allen, who Is looked upon
by all the teachers as their friend, is
likely to find himself In hot water. He
has just let It escape him that a noted
Eastern educator who was here at the
beginning of this school year and who
saw all the public school teachers gath
ered In the High School assembly hall
remarked that they were, taken as a
whole, the handsomest body of teachers
he had ever seen gathered together. He
was a Judge of teachers, too, and had
seen thousands of them. It Is only fair
to say that the teachers had at that
time just returned from their Summer out
ings and were In the enjoyment of the
best of health -and the highest spirits. At
the end of a year's hard work some of
them are a little thinner and paler, but
will still "pass In a crowd." JuSt why
Mr. Allen has kept this complimentary re
mark a secret s"o long Is what he will
now have to explain to the teachers, and
if he cannot furnish some good reason for
his action he is to be pitied.

GOOD WORK FOR OREGON
STATE EXHIBIT ADMIRED BY ALL
VISITORS TO BUFFALO.
Commissioners and Taelr Assistants
Tireless la Their Efforts to Ex
plain, the Resources.
BUFFALO, June ia The main subject
before the .Buftalonians as present Is "the
weather." With 21 days of rain In May
and & few In June, Oregonlans have come
to the opinion that not all the rain Is In
the Northwest. While It has to a certain
degree deferred the finishing of some at
tractions, yet the past few days of sun
shine have made a wonderful change in
things at the exposition grounds. The
hundreds of beds of beautiful flowers are
a great attraction. To date, however, not
a rose Is In bloom, only In hothouses. Only
the hardiest roses bloom here In open air,
and then only for a short time. Thus It
Is that while In the West people walk on
beds of choicest roses, our Eastern friends
are deprived of them. Oregonlans never
realize what their state possesses until
the opportunity Is offered to them to com
pare It with others.
It would be useless to endeavor to enum
erate the Impressions our exhibits are
making on the public. Frank Motter, In
the agriculture department, Is giving out
thoroughly practical Information. Early
and late he Is seen jumping from one
visitor to the other, and with a pleasing
and courteous manner explaining our re
sources to the passing throng, who listen
attentively. Mr. Motter has been elected
secretary of the Exhibitors' Club of the
Agriculture building, and has been nick
named the "Rustler from Oregon." On
last Saturday evening the Exhibitors'
Club gave a reception in the Agriculture
building. It was strictly Invitational, and
was quite a swell affair. The Mexican
band of. 60 "pieces was stationed opposite
the Oregon exhibit, and all the speaking
took place In front of our booth. Director
General Buchanan, In his address, called
the attention of the assembly to the won
derful display from far-off Oregon. The
telegraph message read by Secretary Mot
ter, from Governor T. T. Geer. of Ore
gon, on behalf of the people of that state,
congratulating the exposition on the
formal opening of Agriculture building
was received with cheer after cheer. The
foreign speakers of the evening, while
we could not translate their remarks very
fast, yet we could plainly hear the word
Oregon, and by the gesture appreciated
the fact that our display appealed to them.
Henry Blackman has had his hands full
of wool men and woolen manufacturers.
Mr. Blackman has proven himself very
proficient, and Is dally doing good work
for Oregon.
In the Horticulture building, George
Slocum, who la the nephew of Hon. E. L.
Smith, of Hood River, has certainly In
herited a knowledge of this department
from his uncle. Mr. Slocum Is bright and
active artistic In his arrangements of the
displays. He has made many friends, and
Is very popular.
Mr. Burgard, father of John Burgardjv
one of the commissioners from Oregon,
and a former resident of Buffalo, has his
time fully taken. People seem to be deter
mined to know how much an apple, pear
or plum weighs. Mr. Burgard is ever ready
with an answer. His wide acquaintance
In and around Buffalo gives him a grand
opportunity to do Oregon much good. Mr.
Burgard and Mr. Slocum are anxiously
awaiting the ripening of fruits. The sup
ply of fresh apples is quite limited at
present, and it is Indeed embarrassing
when approached by such a question as,
"Why, I thought you raised a great va
riety of apples in Oregon."
One of the most attractive places at the
exposition is the Oregon mineral exhibit.
Mr. Melll8. of Baker City, Is able to ex
plain every nook and Corner of the state's
mineral resources, and. without partial
ity, gives out Information of mines In
every locality In the state. The mineral
exhibit Is a piece of art, and eaoh sample
Is labeled, so as to make the collection

A. W. Miller Is still called, as at the
World's Fair and Omaha, a "walking min
ing encyclopedia." He Is able to discuss
matters of this nature with any scien
tist, and In an Intelligent. Interesting
manner Instructs the many visitors to this
department. Mr. Miller tells an amusing
Joke on himself. A few days ago a man
asked the question; "And where are you
from?" To which Mr. Miller replied: "I
am from Oregon." The old gentleman
gazed at Mr. Miller for a moment, then
remarked: "You talk quite plain, how
long have you been In America?" This is
only a sample of some of the questions
asked of Oregonlans here, and many of
the questions would hardly be believed if
published. The people here are very much
surprised at the number of visitors regis
tered each week from Oregon.

RING WdRM AND DANDRUFF.
They Are Each. Canned by a Pestlfer
ons Germ.
Ring worm and dandruff are somewhat
similar in their origin; each Is caused by
a parasite. Tho germ that causes dan
druff digs to the root of the hdlr. and
saps its vitality, causing falling hair, and,
finally, baldness. Without dandruff thero
would never be baldness, and to cure dan
druff It Is neecssary to kill the germ.
There has been no hair preparation tnat
would do this until the discovery of
Newbro's Herpiclde. which positively
kills the dandruff germ, allays Itching
Instantly and makes hair glossy and soft
as silk. At all druggists. Take no substi
tute?. There Is nothing "Just as good."
