Korth Front Street in Bad Shape and May Have to Re Closed to Team Travel. J. C. .Miller, of Alblna district, was appointed Inspector of construction on J the Beach street sewer by the Board of I Public "Works yesterday. Tho appoint I snoot was made at the suggestion of prop jerty owners along the line of the new sewer. Mr. Miller's business will be to report to City Engineer Chase any dis crepancy in material or specifications. North Front Street in Bad Shape. City Engineer Chase reported North sQTront stireet, between Fourteenth and Seventeenth, in impassable condition. The planking of the elevated roadway is nearly worn out, and the heavy traffic of ,the big lumber mills Is constantly wearing llholes in the decking, making travel dan gerous. The board authorized Mr. Chase ,to make ?50 worth of repairs and the property owners will be ordered to put ,the thoroughfare in good condition. If this is not done within a reasonable time Front street between Fourteenth and Seventeenth will be closed to team travel. Contracts Awarded. The Jacobson-Bade Company was pawarded the contract for constructing a ,eewer on East Morrison street, for $403 40. The same Arm was awarded the contract for the East Alder-street server, at 4597 90. The bid of the Northwest Gun & Bi cycle Company for furnishing dog tags lor 1901-2 was accepted. Tags, to the number of 2000, are to be delivered for 565. which the board considers more rea sonable than any previous proposal. The committee on streets, sidewalks and elevated roads asked for more time to consider the Stark-street wharf propo sal. A contracting Arm has offered to build a wharf at the foot of Stark street, free of charge to the city, on condition that the Arm is permitted to use it. WILL MEET IN DENVER. American Bar ANMOciation to Conic "Went Till Year. The annual meeting of the American Bar Association will be held at Denver, Colo., on the 21st, 22d and 23d of August. This is the first time one of these meet ings has been held west of the Mississippi, and the event Is considered an important one by the bench and bar of the "tyestern States. The lawyers of Oregon have been slow to avail themselves of the advan tages of the association, there being fewer members from hls state than from any other state In the Union. This is prob ably due not so much to the lack of pro fessional spirit as to the fact that the opportunity to join the association has never been presented. Judge Deady was tor a long time the only member from this 6tate, and L. B. Cox was during the later years of his life an active member. Charles H. Carey, who is vice-president at this time, is perhaps the sole member from this state. The secretary of the joint committee From 1:30 to 2:30 P.M.

Among other attractions offered is an excursion to be given by the Colorado lawyers to the members of the association and the women accompanying them, which will include Cripple Creek, Glenwood Springs, Lead vllle, Marshall Pass and Colorado Springs. No doubt every effort will be made to mark this meeting as a memor able one. The annual dinner will be given at the Brown Palace Hotel on the evening of August 23. The association has several thousand members, and usual ly holds its meetings at Saratoga, N. Y. The Denver meeting will draw many of the most eminent lawyers of the United States, and it is likely that representative lawyers of Oregon will attend. POLITICS IN KENTUCKY. Visiting Minister Given His Views on the egro and Other Subject. Rev. "W. T. Harvey, of Louisville, Ken tucky, who, with his family, is at the Portland, thinks the Federal Government has been guilty of neglect of Its citizens in his state, by permitting one class to obtain control of the local government by fraud. "At the last state election," Mr. Harvey said yesterday, "the Demo crats threw out 20,000 Republican votes, and thus counted the returns for them selves. Under the Goebel law two Demo, cratlc judges were appointed in each pre cinct, against one Republican, and the throwing out of a few votes at each of the various polling places made the fraud quite easy. The Republicans were pow erless in the matter, and President Mc Kinley should have stepped in and pre vented the barefaced fraud. "The negro question is a serious one in Kentucky, and I don't know how it can be settled. The negroes are, as a rule, Re publicans, when left to themselves, but their ignorance and poverty renders them an easy prey to designing white men, and they are to a considerable extent pur chasable and liable to Intimidation. The negro vote amounts to about one-fifth of the whole, but It has been virtually nulli fied for several years past. We do not object to negro disfranchisement, but think the representation of such states as Kentucky in the electoral college should be cut down to the proper proportion. "The negro is by no means so well off as he was In slavery, as he now has to work at low wages, and when he falls sick, has to shift for himself. Negroes do not take well to education, and very few of them are given to accumulating prop erty. The negro Is therefore being ground between the upper and nether millstones in Kentucky, and his presence is a contin ual disturbing1 factor in local politics. "The assassination of Governor Goebel and subsequent flight of the ReDUblican Governor, Taylor, had a very demorallz-J ing euect on the Republicans of the state. Taylor proved himself a very weak man when the trouble came, and his party seemed to go to pieces after he left. He Is now In Indianapolis practicing law, and dares not return to Kentucky. Taylor's wife died several weeks ago, and he did not consider it safe to hold her funeral in our state. The killing of Goebel, I be lieve, was the work of a Republican fac tion, who were opposed to his high-handed methods of over-riding his opponents, and I think the right man has been convicted and punished."

C. A. TAKES IN MR. STAND LEY'S EDUCATIONAL WORK. Room Will Be Provided for 200 to 300 Students, and It Will Be Amply Equipped. Arrangements were practically com pleted yesterday by which " the Portland Manual Training School, located at 602 Washington street, will form part of the new educational system of the Young Men's Christian Association, made pos sible by the new association building now under construction, and which is expected to be ready about the first week of Oc tober. The deal will be formally ratified, it is expected, at a meeting of the direc tors of tho Portland Manual Training School to be held this week. Principal William J. Standley, who has been the Instructor of the Manual Train ing School for some time, has been on the outlook for larger quarters for carry ing on the general purpose of the school I on a larger scale, to perfect the work of the 60 students getting Instruction there. Roomy apartments and better and more modern machinery were considered indis pensable before better results could be ob tained. The school has been a successful one, backed as it is by representative workers and educators like Mrs. H. E. Jones, 'the president, Mrs. R. Livingstone, H. C. Campbell, H. W. Hogue, Samuel Mears and others. The students this past .season have included men and women, boys and girls. The directors of the Young Men's Christian Association were approached on the subject, and It was found that they were also devising ways and means to place within reach of their members opportunity to secure the bene fits of an Industrial education, in the regu lar course of association work. It was also found that the association and the Manual School people were working prac tically toward the same end, and the sug gestion was made, Why not combine the work In the new association building? The project met with hearty support, and it was carried to a successful issue. General Secretary Stone, of the Young Men's Christian Association, in speaking of the manual training proposition, said last night that the new departure toward manual training would help his associa tion toward a better ideal In fashioning workers whose hands would be trained as well as their minds. "Boys wIU be grad ed after public schools close Into classes where manual training will be taught," said Mr. Stone. "There will be probably three classes each day, arranged accord ing to the age and ability of the students. The equipment will be new and carefully selected, and there will be accommoda tion for 200 or 300 students. Instruction will be mostly given afternoon and Sat urday mornings, under Mr. Standley, In wood carving, clay modeling, bench work and turninc Pressure Is helntr hrmnrht have classes arranged for boys and girls, I uuu ii is iiKeiy mis will be done. The new department will be located on the fourth floor of the association building, and shops and rooms will be built accord ing to Mr. Standley's plans. We will have modern machinery and small motors. The Fife and Drum Corps, connected with the Manual Training School, will find accom modation in the new quarters." WOMAN'S INTEREST IN WAR Mrs. Duniwny's Address to G. A. R. at Pleasant Home. The 35th annual encampment and re union at Pleasant Home, under the aus pices of M. A. Ross Post, G. A. R., and the Woman's Relief Corps, opened yester day. Brief exercises were held in the morning. Henry Kane, Commander of the post, acted as president. Rev. N. S. Hollcroft delivered a short address of wel come In the name of the post. Rev. M. L. Hardlngham, responding, complimented the post and relief corps for the success of the previous reunions, and expressed the hope for another success. The morn ing exercises closed with music. Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunlway, of Portland, arrived at 12 o'clock, and was received by the women of the Relief Corps. After dinner an audience of about 500 gath ered around the speakers' stand, to which Mrs. Dunlway was escorted. Rev. L. M. Hardlngham had charge of the pro gramme. After instrumental music by Grace Palmer and a recitation by Mrs. Palmer, Mrs. Dunlway was introduced and held the attention of the audience closely for nearly two hours on "What War Means to Women." She said In part: "When we read the pages of history, reeking as they do with details of carn age and devastation, we are so deeply im pressed with the horror of it all that we have no need to be reminded that man Is a fighting animal. Yet, when seen at his best, as you always see him, when the women he most respects and reveres are present, we are glad to note not only the total subjection of the antagonistic spirit within him thab engenders war, but the active presence of that protecting chivalry and innate patriotism which so arouse our admiration In times of peace that, much as we shrink from the Idea of carnage so long as it does not seem In "eeeiM9M evitable, we do not hesitate, when protest is no longer possible, to adjust our best endeavors, so far as men will let us, to the amelioration of their condition when war begins. "I am not here as a theorist to de nounce war or declare It, under all cir cumstances, unnecessary or unavoidable. The races of men have yet many centuries of experience before them ere swords shall be beaten into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks, and nations shall learn war no more. And since man is a fight ing animal, and since all that is or was originally savage and brutal In his na ture must be eliminated through the grad ual processes of evolution ere we can reach that higher civfllzation of which the philanthropist is dreaming, and cince men and women together constitute the human family and are as necessary to each other as oxygen and hydrogen are to water, or oxygen and nitrogen are to air, if they are to be kept pure and self purifying, they must not be subjected to unnatural separation and Indeed cannot be without deleterious results. It logically follows, therefore, that the mother in stinct, which enacts so necessary a part in the procreation of thp ( y-m ih. out it there could be no soldiers born the coleadershlp of sagacious, motherly women cannot be denied with Impunity when preparations are in progress for mobilizing or deporting great bodies of men in times of war." Today Is "Farmers' day," and a large attendance Is expected. Dr. James Withy combe, vice-director of the Corvallis Col lege, and Professor Cordley. of the same college, will speak on agricultural topics Hon. J. D. Lee, of Salem, is. expected to deliver an address, a letter of regret was received from Department Commander J. A. Sladen, who wished the reunion suc cess. Dr. L. E. Rockwell, who promised to deliver an address Thursday morning has been compelled to cancel the engage ment on account of pressing business. PEACH PLUMS NOT IN FAVOR Orchards Likely to Disappear Cher ries Very Profitable. The peach p'um was thought to be a nth fF, .JeW years aS' and many orchards of these trees were planted. They have proved very productive, but not very remunerative, and today there are but few of these plums seen in the markets and there is less demand for them than for any other fruit. As an orchardist says, they don't amount to much." When picked green they can be shipped, but seldom command a good price. When dead ripe they are very good for eating from the hand, being sweet and juicy. If not particularly well flavored, but they are not good for cooking, for the longer they are cooked the sourer they. get. Th? orchards of peach plums will soon. dis appear, either by being grafted or cut down. The cherry crop has been the most profitable to fruit-raisers this season. One small farmer eold from a 1-acre plat of Royal Anne trees five tons, for which he received 4 cents per pound. $S0 per ton, or $400 for the whole, the cannery furnishing boxeo and taking the cherries from the river bank. This is a fair sample of what large growers made from their crop, Those who sold their Royal Annes to be made Into Maraschino cherries received 5 cents per pound, but they say the extra cent hardly paid for the extra care which had to be taken In picking and shipping. As there Is every probability that Royal Anne cherries will command ae good prices hereafter as they have this year, there Is likely to be many trees of this variety set out next year. NOT A BABY WHALE. Porpoise Attracts the Attention of CroVrdH on Third Street. The fact, that nearly everybody takes an interest In natural history was demon strated yesterday by numbers of people who stopped to examine . fish exposed In front of a Third-street gun store, and la beled "baby whale." Comparatively few persons have ever seen a whale at least near enough to see what it looked like, but few took any stock In this "fish," which is not larger than a large chlnook salmon, being a young whale. Much dis cussion In regard to its identity was in dulged In by the spectators, but few really knew what it is. It is a small porpoise, a distant relative of the whale, having the same flat tall, shiny black skin and coating of blubber under it. They are very plentiful In some seas, and those who have sailed much on the Pacific cannot have failed to see immense schools of them some five feet In length, extending as far in every direction as the eye could reach, and every one of them apparently engaged In a mad race with the steamer and leaping out of the water every minute to see If they were, getting ahead of It. The sailors call them "puf fing pigs," from the grunt or puff they make as they leap out of the water. Flehermen call them "herring hogs," as they feed on the schools of herring and other small flsh. They yield some oil, and their hides are made into leather, which Is often seen In the shape of shoe strings. WHAT SHALT, WE HAVE FOR DES SERT? This question arises in the family crery day.

"When Billy Madden Fount! the Con tent Could Xot Be Held nt Mnlt nonioh Club He Snld, "Xo." The Ruhlln-Acton wrestling match is off. Billy Madden gave out this Informa tion last evening. The agreement had been made to have the match at the Multnomah Club, but when this arrange ment fell through, on consultation with Ruhlin it was decided to call the match off, as neither he nor Madden saw any likelihood of the match turning out a money-maker for the wrestlers, unless it was held under the club auspices. The announcement that the former champion wrestler of the world, Joe Acton, the "Little Demon," was going on the mat to pit his experience and wrestling skill against the weight and strength of Gus Ruhlin, who threw Fitzslmmons, had been received with great Interest by local sportsmen, and a good attendance had been assured from the start. Joe Acton will probably be disappointed. He is dojvn at Newport trudging over sand-hills and plunging in the surf to get In shape for the bout. His wrestling pupils at the Multnomah Club say that he is always In good condition, with his muscles .as hard as iron. Ruhlin Is also disappointed that the match has fallen through, as he has remained in Portland a week with the hope of completing the arrangements and opening up training quarters, Sharkey's latest outburst that he is go ing after Jeffries, and will incidentally squelch Ruhlln's aspirations for the championship, amused Billy Madden. "We are in the business to take on fights," said he, "and I am glad that Sharkey is heading toward San Francisco. That will make things lively there. We are willing to take on Sharkey again if we cannot Immediately arrange our match with Jeffries." And so the fight ers continue to talk back and forth at long range. KNEW IT ALL THE TIME. Lien Land Iniquities Have Long: Been Familiar to Hermann. SALEM, Or., July.29. (To the Editor.) On the editorial page of Sunday's Ore gonian, July 28, appears an article en titled, "Hermann's Discovery." It begins as follows. Every good citizen In the Pacific Northwest must rejoice to know that Commissioner Her mann has heard something drop. The dull thud which has arrested his none too acute hearing Is that caused by the exposure made In The Oregonian of the concerted raid on Oregon's public lands throush a new forest reserve. Sir. Hermann has come to a pre cipitate and unheralded conclusion that the lieu land law is bad. Why he has been so long in finding this out would, perhaps, be unprofitable to Inquire. How he comes to no tice it Just upon the appearance of the protest may also be covered with a veil. It will be sufficient to review the situation briefly and dismiss the subject. Permit me also to review the facts briefly and dismiss the subject. The lieu land act to which you refer be came a law June 4, 1S97. The Commis sioner In his annual report June 30, 1S9S, after stating that in his opinion the law was Intended to apply only to those In dividuals who were settlers or owners of agricultural lands, and who would nat urally wish to exchange their lands for tracts outside the forest reserve In order to secure advantages which they could not obtain Inside the reserve, and which he enumerated, then went on to say: It Is apparent, however, from applications for lieu selections thus far received, that this pro vision of law is being taken advantage of in a speculative way by holders of tracts ac quired by purchase from the states, railroad corporations and other sources; and the lands relinquished have little value as timber or agricultural lands; and that tracts that once contained considerable valuable bodies of tim ber, having been denuded of their value, are now offered to the Government in exchange for -valuable lands elsewhere; so that If all private holdings in forest reservations, acquired In any manner, may be utilized as the bases for lieu selections, it may be possible for owners to select compact bodies of fine agricultural or timbered lands outside the reserves and com pel the acceptance by the Government in lieu thereof of denuded and worthless scattered tracts In the reserves. The possibilities offered for lieu selections under the law as it now stands will lad to many propositions for the creation of reserves with the" sole view of Interested parties to acquire the right of lieu selections. In view of what is here stated. I recommend a modification of the law ty add ing a proviso at the end of the clause above quoted, as follows: Provided, That the tract relinquished Is agricultural land, and that its Lamp Kf $5.00 kind now. $3.30 $6.00 kind now. $4.05 $6.50 kind now. $4.20 Onyx Every Onyx Table in the store in reserve.

Moreover, in each of his annual reports since he has reverted to the sxibject, has shown how the law was being perverted, and has urged its modification. These reports are made to the Secretary of the Interior and by him submitted to Congress. Had The Oregonian consulted these annual reports of the Commissioner It would not have ' made the undeserved criticism which It did. S. B. ORMSBY. The Oregonian has not directed criticism upon Commissioner Hermann because of his recommendations for Improvement in the laws. Those recommendations are believed to be entirely commendable. But those recommendations are not law, and for Commissioner Hermann to continue to approve recommendatins for further pub lic reserves the creation of new ones or adding to old ones In face of the admitted imperfection of the statute, is merely to favor the opening of more territory to the abuses he has himself complained of. He seems now to have come to tardy real ization of this fact, and declares his pur pose to ooDose further reservations until the defect In the law shall be cured. This conclusion he would better have reached many months ago. The question arises, How long would he have gone on approv ing new reserves for the benefit of cor porations and political favorites If he had not "heard something drop"? DIED ON A SCAFFOLDING. Plasterer McLcod Attacked ly Heart Disease While nt WorW. James McLeod, a plasterer, 56 years old, recently from San Franclseo, dropped dead yesterday whie he was at work In the buldlng being erected for C. A. Doph on Seventh street near Alder. The autopsy showed that the cause of death was heart disease and Brlght's disease. The evidence at the Coroner's Inquest was that McLeod worked In this city as a plasiJerer about 16 years ago and that he returned from San Franc.sco last week. When he began plastering a room yesterday morning he complained of being 111, but thought he could work all day-. In the course of the forenoon Thomas Robertson, one of the contractors, had occasion to visit the scaffoljl where McLeod was sent to work, and was surprised to find McLeod lying on his back against the wall, with h's head hanging over the scaffolding. As sistance was got, and when McLeod was carried to the floor, a distance of about six feet, it was seen that he was dead. There were electric light wires where McLcod had worked, but the cur rent was not on. David Henderson testi fied that he had known McLeod for about 40 years, and that the dead man had been a member of the Portland Caledonian Club, the Ancient Order of United "Work men and a Mason. McLeod was a wid ower and two of his sons are supposed to be in California. He boarded at the Columbia Hotel.' Loprnn Berry Named for Judge Logan PORTLAND, July 30. (To the Editor.) Your issue of today contained an il lustration of the Logan Berry, and In the description thereof It was stated that Mr. Magoon- was tlfe originator of the berry. I wish to take Issue as to that, for the Logan berry has its origin with the person of Judge Logan, of Santa Cruz, Cal. During a recent sojourn in Santa Cruz my attention was particular ly called to this berry as being of such fine flavor and so large. Mr. F. Barson, the proprietor of the Riverside Hotel and grounds (at which place I stopped), has large patches of this berry and supplies the San Francisco market with them. He informed me that Judge Logan was the originator of the berry, and hence its name. Judge Logan could have made a large sum of money by It had he so wished, but he was liberal spirited and gave the secret to the world without any recompense. I have before me a catalogue of the Fancher Creek Nursery, of Fresno. Cal.. in which is an illustration and descrip tion of the Logan Berry, from which 1 copy: "Logan berry Originated with Judge J.

Hoped to Finish Columbia. River Im provements In Time for the Coming Exposition. WASHINGTON, July 26. The reports of the engineers on various river and harbor improvements have all been re ceived, and the estimates made given to the public. Of course. It is not likely thut all the recommendations of the en gineers will be adopted by Congress, and It is true that small and unimportant matters ought to be wiped out and the big projects, which are of benefit to com merce all over the United States, carried out In accordance with the recommenda tions of the engineers. If these big projects were put into a separate river and harbor bill it is possible that the lit tle fellows would fight It. but at the same time, a meritorious river and harbor bill would not be talked to death. There will be a river and harbor bill in the coming session of Congress, and It has been developed further that if such a bill Is to be passed every two years, it must bo passed In the long session, when It can receive due consideration. For two years It has been delayed to the short session. In order to defeat tho Nicaragua Canal project, as it was be lieved that was the only way legislation for the Nicaragua Canal, engrafted on tho river and harbor bill, could be de feated. To the people of Oregon, and of Port land In particular, the prospect of tha passage of the river and harbor bill should be very welcome news. It means that the project for a sufficient channel at the mouth of the Columbia and a 24-foot channel to Portland will be In cluded. "While these Improvements are sure to come, it is important that they should become a law In 1902, for this means that large naval vessels and merchant ships can appear in the harbor of Portland during the Lewis and Clark Oriental Exposition of 1903. Heretofore, when efforts have been made to have ships participate in some of these exer cises, the Navy has made the excuse that there was not sufficient water, but before 1905, with the Improvements so strenuously urged by Captain Langfltt. and heartily approved by the Engineers Department in "Washington, and for that matter by every member of the rivers and harbors committee, there is no doubt that a sufficient depth of water to float big battle-ships will be maintained In the Columbia when the exposition is held.
