Tks "Worst in Portland. Front street,
between Columbia and Jefferson streets, Is
easily the worst bit of street In the City
of Portland, and Firat street, between
Columbia and Jefferson streets, is but
little better In any respect, and on ap
count of its three railway tracks Is worse
In some. Front street was Improved with
macadam about the time of Adam. It has
been bad and dally growing worse for
years, and now, with a heavy coating of
mud and chuck holes of all sizes and
depths, It Is about as bad as it can be,
and would pass for a country lane in a
bad section of country. This street is the
main thoroughfare to the Jefferson-street
depot and an immense traffic
passes over it, as teams avoid
First street as much as possible on ac
count of the network of railway tracks,
switches and crossovers, which render It
dangerous to vehicles. The tracks in
places are all of six Inches above grade
and are liberally garnished with chuck
holes, especially In the angles of the
crossovers, so that in places 'it Is Im
possible for loaded vehicles to cross them.
There Is a fine engine-house on this part
of First etreet, and how the company man
ages to get out and in without damage to
the engine Is a eonundrum. Councilman
Mulkey, who owns eome property on the
part of Front street mentioned, is anxi
ious and willing to sign a petition for its
Improvement and probably. If some one
would take the matter In hand, It would
be found that other property-owners are
of the same mind.
Fxos From The Dalles. A plate loaded
with green flgs adorns the show window
of the State Board of Horticulture, and
attracts considerable attention. The fruit
was raised on the farm of Emll Schanno,
near The Dalles, and" has all the sweetness
and flavor of the Southern California arti
cle. Mr. Schanno says he raises three
crops a year from his fig trees, as some
of the fruit Is ripening while blossoms
are appearing for the later offerings. A
number of fig leaves accompany the
fruit, to show the kind of garments Adam
wore when he was turned out pf Para
dise to rustle for himself. The leaves are
shaped something like thoe of the white
oak of the Pacific Coast, but present a
much larger surface. Secretary Lamber
son says flgs have been raised success
fully for several years on the farm of
J. w. Magoon, near Gravelly Hill, In
Multnomah County, and these specimens
from Eastern Orogon prove that each of
the great sections of the state Is adapted
to their cultivation.
Died Fhom Shock. J. "W. Gray, of 771
Macadam Road, died yesterday morning
at St. Vincent's Hospital, uom shock after
the amputation of his left leg. He was
examining a gun Wednesday, after his
son had returned from a s-hooting expedi
tion and, while trying to extract a shell,
he unconsciously pointed the barrel to
ward his left leg. In some unexplained
manner the weapon was suddenly dis
charged and the heavy bullet shattered
Mr. Gray's left leg below the knee. He
was hurried to the hospital, in the police
patrol wagon, and the surgeons resorted
to amputation as a last remedy. "The pa
tient gradually sank until death onded
his- suffering. He was a retired miller,
and his family are prostrated because of
the unfortunate accident which cost the
husband and father his life.
X.AW LtfBRART TO BE EXTENDED. At a
meeting of the Multnomah Law Library
held yesterday the following officers were
re-elected: Milton W. Smith, president;
Mark O'Neill, vice-president; A. L. Veazle
secretary: Sanderson Reed. tron!iror nA
John F. Logan, librarian. The new direc
tors on the board are: Judge H. H.
Northup, Charles J. Schnabel and H, H.
Emmona. It was voted that a contractor
be employed to extend the rooms of the
library in the County Courthouse, and to
at the room heretofore generously made
vacant by Judge Cleland, by removing
his chambers to the new wing recently
constructed. This will give a separate
room for the "smoking" members. The
expense of these alterations will be borne
by the Library Association.
This Kind op Potato Is Cheap. Sweet
potatoes have been cheaper than usual in
Portland this Fall, and they are now be
ing peddled about the suburbs at 15
pounds for a quarter. The heavy crop
raised in Mercer County, California, is tho
main reason for their cheapness, and
the fact that sweet potatoes, cannot be
kept for any length of time like the Irish
potatoe? hastens their unloading amongst
consumers. Sweet potatoes have hereto
fore sold at 3 cents a pound retail in
Portland, and the recent slump in nrlce
coupled with the higher cost of the com
mon 'spuds," serves to stimulate their con
sumption. Wholesale dealers report tneir
rapid sale, three carloads arriving in one
23.ita ?' havtaff disappeared
within S! hours.

he said, "when It should be assumed by

received from the city because the county
has no authority; but It has $3000 In the bi

claim to the town of Whitney. Mr. Craig

acter and worth of Mr. Kllppei, When

were at half-mast, and the school chil
dren, 300 strong, marched at the head of
the procession up to the cemetery. As
was said, all the people of Rogue River

AN APPRECIATION OF., OREGON.
Xn'1003 jthe Lewis and Clark Centen
nial Exposition will be field in the City
of Portland, Or. As the tflie indicates,
it Is to be a celebration of the centen
nial of the great exploring- expedition;
conducted by tb two Army officers of
famous memory named above, who,
acting under the commission of Presi
dent Jefferson, examined the northern
half of the great territory that had
Just been acquired by the Louisiana
purchase. It was -an expedition epic in
character and ar reaching In H re
oultii. Already preparations for this ex
position are under way, anoMhere Is no
cuestlon but what it will be matlo pne
'of the greatest o'the enterprises that
n.ave marked what might be called the
centennial ra in American social and
Industrial history, The Morning Orego
nlan, of Portland, one of the leading
journals of the Pacific Coast, has is
jiued a little handbook of information,
relative to the Pacific Coast d?vlop
0ne,nt, srith especial reference to tho
-City of Portland, and the territory
once comprised within the territory of -lOregon,
'out of which threcgreat states
and parts of two others have been
carved. This handbook Is a compact
little pamphlet of oer 60 rages, just
the-1 size to fit Into an ordinary bust,
ness envelope, well printed, profusely
Illustrated with dainty little pictures,
reproduced from photographs, illustra
tive of the natural scenery of the re-
glon. Its marvelous commercial, agri
cultural and Industrial advantages; its
growth, and of the attractions of the
Clt7 of Portland. Maps and statistical
tables furnish exact Information. Prob
ably no great section of the Union Is
more prolific of attractions than the
Oregon country- We of the Atlantic
Slope, unless we have chanced to make
the transcontinental journey, do not
realize what a mighty empire lies In
what was once vaguely known as the
Orogon Country. This little book ghes
a wry good blrdseye pen and Ink view
of it, and la a creditable example of
the energy and enterprise of the people
there. The Oregonlan deserves hearty
praise for this timely publication. If
you are interested in the subject and
every American citizen ought to' be
send 7 cents to The Oregonlan, Port

Turket'b Fatal Dat Coming. Poultry
of all kinds Is coming to market in great
numbers, and suqh quantities of turkey,
geese and chickens are displayed In the
various markets as to cause fears that
the supply may give out, or the public's
appetite for turkey be satiated before
Thanksgiving. Some of the commission
men sell coops of chickens by weight,
which Is a" new departure. Buyers con
sider it fairer to themselves and the
poultry-growers than selling by the doz
en, especially for small chickens, and
when the price per pound is not too hlsrh.
When it comes to large chickens dealers
would rather take their chances at buying
them by the dozen. It is singular that
so many small chickens are sent to mar
ket, when, if kept a while, they would be
worth so much more
One Donation Not Suitable. The
women of the 'First Christian Church,
who are conducting the rummage sale
In Fred Merrill's store on Sixth street,
express themselves as gratified with the
result of their "venture so far. Friends
of the church have rummaged their
premises to considerable purpose, and, as
all the articles are sold for cash, the J
church will make a neat little sum from
tne sale. One of the women In charge
said yesterday: "The merchants of the
city have been very generous In dally
donations. We received one bos of goods,
however, which he had to send back. It
contained a number of old rubber over
shoes, wornout gumboots and greasy
overalls. The donation was evidently in
tended as a Joke."
Postal Stations to Stat. Many citi
zens on the East Side have been worry
ing themselves on account of a report
they have heard to the effect that the
.postal statlono in that part of the city
are to be changed to sub-stations and flie
carriers moved to the West Side. As far
as regards station B, station C and Seil--wood
station, Postmaster Croasman says
there Is absolutely no foundation for the
report, and no change in them has ever
been mentioned or contemplated. An agent
who was out here a while ago made eome
suggestion about a change at station A, a
an experiment, to see whether the change
would be a benefit or not; but nothing
further came of It, and the change was
never seriously contemplated.
Good Stock Business. Business has
been improving at the stockyards of late.
Many cattle and hogs are coming In from
Eastern and Southern Oregon. Quite a
number of cattle are being shipped to
the Sound, and lately a considerable num
ber of hogs has been shipped to Cali
fornia, Since the effort made some time
ago to have the stockyards removed, quite
extensive Improvements have been made
mere in the way of new sheds, new floors,
etc. The present location Is a very de
sirable one on account of the proximity
to the Terminal grounds.
TO KXAMINE SUSTPTER MINES. K. K.
Kubll, a prominent miner of Southern
Oregon, is In the city, en route to Bump
ier, where he will make a detailed exam
ination of the Tillamook group of mines.
Mr. Kubli has extensive mining Interests'
In Josephine and Jackson Counties. He
has Just disposed of his Gold: Hill mine
for a very handsome figure. Mr. Kubll
says that Southern Oregon was never as
prosperous as it la today and that there
is a great future In store for that part of
the state.
Many Mining Claims. So many applica
tions for the survey of mining claims
have been received by Surveyor-General
Meldrum of late that he has found It
necessary to increase the number of
draughtsmen In his office. Two men have
been added to the force, and will bo kept
on until such time as the rush of work i
over. In order to accommodate applicants
wor will be pushed to enable them to
commence publication for securing patents
before the close of the year.

Changes at Sauvie's Island. An old
time sportsman, who was familiar with
tho greater part of Bauvles Island, some
10 or 12 years ago, and who revisited It
last week, says there has been great im
provement there since the residents have
engaged in dairying on a large scale. The
nasty, tall yellow weed, which at one
timo seemed to have 'taken the island by
storm. Is rapidly dying out, and has al
most entirely disappeared. Vegetation on
the Island is luxuriant. On the highest
land the white clover and goose grabs is
half way to one's knees, and forms -magnificent
pasture. The wild grass on the
low land does not make much growth
after tho Fall rains, but there Is a line
stand of "sour grass," which cattle do
not care for In the Summer, but which,
since it has been touched by the frost,
they are devouring greedily and find lux
uriant pasture. The people on the Island
are taking life easily, Just milking their
cows and selling milk or cream, which
appears to be a very nice way of making
money.
Visit of Old-Time Resident. Charles
Fiush, a well-known old-time citizen,
who for the past four or five years has
been cultivating a 1500-acre timber ranch,
a few miles from Gobic, is in the city, re
newing his acquaintance with old friends.
Mr. Frush, George H. Knaggs and N. B.
lugalls are about the only ones of tho
old-time pursers who were employed on
tho Columbia away back In 1855, and
thereabouts. When they get together
some wonderful reminiscences are re
called. The timber on Mr. Frush's tanch
was planted some time ago, part of
It before Columbus "discuv" this conti
nent. He has given much attention to
pruning and cultivating It of late, and
his crop of saw-logs is now ripe and
ready for the harvest.
Annual Pastors' Reception. The an

Mrs. T. W. Pratt, Mrs. W. D. Sharp, Mrs.
E. L. Thompson, Mr. II. G. Colton. Mr.
W. D. Scott, Mrs. Louis Rico and Deacon
C. L. Fay. There will be plenty of good
refreshments and an excellent musical
programme has been provided. The fol
lowing ladles are on the committee of
arrangements: Mesdames Harding, Clel
and, Clarke, Palmer, Beach, Jenkins,
Lovelace and Adair. All friends of the
church are cordially Invited to be pres
ent. Janitor3 as Policemen. The janitors
of the various public schools are again
being clothed with police authority, and
furnished with police stars. This enables
them to protect the school property by
arresting trespassers and will also enable
them to have more power over bad boys.
It used to be that principals and janitors
of the public schools were vested with
police authority and were paid a nominal
sum as policemen; but this ceased a
number of years ago. The school authori
ties have been anxious for some time to
have the custom restored and were at
last successful. The janitors are calling
at the poHce station and securing their
stars as rapidly as possible.
Reception to Pastor. The members and
congregation of the German M. E. Church,

ROBBED HIS BENEFACTOR.
Money Stolen From Frenchman by
Tramp "Who Asked Alms.
A Frenchman who was too drunk to
give his name was stopped by a tramp
of the "Weary Willie" type last night on
Davis street, near Second, and asked for
five cents for a meal.
"Cert'inly," said the Frenchman, pull
ing out his purse, and he was In the act
of giving his mite, when the tramp
snatched the purse, which contained 555,
knocked his benefactor down, and disap
peared before bystanders could Interfere.
The victim was not seriously hurt, and
he was conveyed, penniless, by a sympa
thetic crowd to his lodging-house. The
police are working on the case.
